Xu Wangtang suddenly stood up from the bed, "Say it again!"
Xu Cheng drooped his head and said bitterly: "Now it is being spread outside that you plan to kill everyone! Mei Changyuan is the first one."
"Absurd! What nonsense!" Xu Wangtang suddenly realized that something was wrong. Someone was setting him up. He asked Xu Cheng, "Can you find out who did it?"
Xu Chengdao: "It's not clear yet, but now everyone outside is in danger and wants you to give an explanation."
"Explanation?" Xu Wangtang said disdainfully: "Even a fool can see that this is a false accusation against me. It must be those people named Cao who did it! Is he not dead yet?"
Xu Cheng lowered his head and said, "The operation failed."
Xu Wangtang's expression changed and he cursed: "Those rubbish from the Red Spear Club can't handle even a small matter. Where is Mr. Zhou? Have you contacted him?"
Xu Cheng said with a look of embarrassment: "We have contacted him, but..."
"But what?"
"But he said that he needs to pay more to do it now."
Xu Wangtang raised his eyebrows and said with an unhappy expression: "
Is he trying to raise the price?"
"Mr. Zhou said that originally it would not be a big problem if he just killed a director. But now he has a bodyguard by his side, so he has to pay more."
Xu Wangtang said with a cold face: "How much to add?"
"Five times the original amount."
"What? Five times? Isn't that twenty small yellow croakers?" Xu Wangtang yelled out of control: "He wants money and wants to go crazy!"
Xu Cheng smiled bitterly and said: "He said you get what you pay for. No counter-offers."
Xu Wangtang's face was as dark as water, and he kept thinking in his mind whether this deal was a good deal or not. After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Wangtang still couldn't bear to spend so much money. He was just a director, and he couldn't make any big waves.
"Tell him that I won't do this business." Xu Wangtang said, "Go down and prepare a carriage for me. I want to leave the city."
After saying that, Xu Wangtang was about to change his clothes when he turned around and saw Xu Cheng still standing there, looking like he was hesitant to speak.
"What else?"
Xu Cheng said: "Master, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave the city."
Xu Wangtang looked angry, "Speak clearly."
Xu Cheng smiled bitterly and said: "The bosses and wealthy gentry who were assassinated went out early in the morning and were approaching our house. They said they wanted to ask for an explanation."
Xu Wangtang realized that things seemed to be a little out of control and asked: "Where have they gone?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a noise outside the door, and Xu Cheng said bitterly: "They have arrived."
Xu Wangtang never thought that things would develop to such a point, and he was a little panicked for a while. However, thanks to his long-term cultivation and the confidence that he had never done before, Xu Wangtang remained calm and composed.
"You go and stop them first, and I'll go change my clothes."
Xu Cheng replied yes, turned around and walked out the door. Xu Wangtang quickly changed his clothes and came to the side hall. There were seven or eight people sitting in different clothes, different shapes, and different ages. But they were all
One thing they have in common is that they are more or less injured and have an angry look on their faces.
As soon as he entered the door, Xu Wangtang raised his hands and said, "What do you mean when you come to visit me so early?"
"Xu Wangtang, we are honest people and don't speak secretly. Drive Han Baihang away. We have no credit but hard work. You are adding insult to injury too quickly."
"That's right! Mr. Xu, you must give us an explanation today."
"Yes, give us an explanation."
Everyone began to agree, and the side hall began to become noisy. Xu Wangtang's face was uncertain, and he didn't speak. He didn't know what he was thinking.
These people who came actually believed that Xu Wangtang did not kill anyone. They just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to gain some benefits for themselves.
Xu Wangtang has been in Yongcheng for many years. He has had a hand in various industries. The president of the Chamber of Commerce is his in-laws. Several bosses are just trying to survive in the cracks. It can be said that it is miserable.
The purpose of coming here this time is not so much to ask for an explanation, but rather to force Xu Wangtang to give up some of Yongcheng's interests.
Seeing that Xu Wangtang was silent, the crowd's voices gradually became quieter and finally became quiet. Xu Wangtang glanced at several people and said coldly: "Have you finished speaking?"
"Mr. Xu, please keep a line in your life so that we can meet each other easily in the future. Isn't your method of killing everyone a little too vicious?"
Everyone didn't speak, but they all nodded in agreement. Xu Wangtang smiled disdainfully, "Stop pretending, don't I know why you came today? Let's just open the skylight and speak openly. Why hide it?"
"
"Mr. Xu, do you think we are joking with you? We have evidence in our hands. Don't even think about denying it!"
Listening to the stern tone and looking at the determined expression, Xu Wangtang felt a little funny. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Then take it out and have a look. I want to see how sure you are that you can bring Xu Wangtang and me together."
Death place."
Several bosses looked at each other, and one of them, short and fat, who had been taking the lead in speaking, was the largest rice merchant in Yongcheng, named Liu Renquan.
Liu Renquan looked at Xu Wangtang and said: "The assassin has been caught. Mr. Xu, if you don't believe it, you can go and interrogate him personally. We happened to bring him here too."
Xu Wangtang sneered and said: "Then what are you waiting for? Take it with you."
Then five assassins who were in a mess, with bruises and swollen faces were brought up. Xu Wangtang glanced at them and didn't recognize any of them, and said with a smile: "If you want to frame me, you have to find a few decent ones. Even if I, Xu Wangtang, want to hire an assassin, I can't."
You wouldn't hire such a second-rate guy."
Liu Renquan said: "No matter how high you are, you will know just by asking."
Xu Wangtang glared at him, turned to one of them and asked: "Who gave you the courage to do so? How dare you frame it on me! You're tired of living, aren't you?"
Xu Wangtang said that he was not relieved and kicked the killer. The killer fell to the ground with a look of fear on his face and cried: "Didn't you ask us to do it, Mr. Xu? He said that everything has been arranged. All we need to do is kill him."
If you marry me, you will guarantee that I will be prosperous and wealthy for the rest of my life. You also gave me a deposit. I...I will do everything you ask me to do. Mr. Xu, you have to save me!"
Several other killers also echoed, and several people began to cry and cry, and the scene suddenly became chaotic. Xu Wangtang did not expect that these people dared to talk nonsense in front of him, and for a while he was so angry that he shouted loudly.
He scolded: "How dare you talk nonsense! I'll cut your tongue first!"
As he was about to take action, Liu Renquan stopped Xu Wangtang and said, "Mr. Xu, please don't be angry. This is found from the killer. It is said to be a deposit. Do you recognize it?"
Xu Wangtang turned his head and saw a pure gold pocket watch in Liu Renquan's hand, which was shining brightly in the morning light.
