In the Daxing Chamber of Commerce hall, Xiao Chen held the roster sent by the magistrate He Xuan and looked at it quietly.
"Zhang Donghe, Li Xiaoming, Chen Zhizhan..." Looking at the names above one by one, a smile appeared on Xiao Chen's face.
I have to say that He Xuan's roster was delivered in time. However, if the King of Han knew that he was going to kill his men one by one based on this roster, he would probably want to cut He Xuan into pieces.
Outside the courtyard, Zhang Donghe led more than 800 people to slowly walk towards the Chamber of Commerce's headquarters.
The reason why he walked slowly was because Zhang Donghe was thinking about how to resolve this contradiction.
If more than 800 people can defect to the purple-robed captain, and follow his lead in the future, we may be able to gain everyone's peace.
However, if he really leads everyone to defect in front of the battle and defect to the purple-clothed captain, I am afraid that the King of Han will incur even more violent attacks in the future.
Forget it, as long as we can keep everyone alive at this moment, let's wait until the King of Han's revenge comes.
Thinking of this, Zhang Donghe strode into the courtyard. The people behind him filed in.
Xiao Chen held the roster in his hand and looked at everyone with a smile: "Yes, look at the formation, everyone is here."
"Master Ziyi, is there room for negotiation on this matter?" Zhang Donghe offered his hand and said straight to the point.
"Discuss, how do you want to discuss?" Xiao Chen asked calmly.
"I took the people from the Daxing Chamber of Commerce to defect to you. I will be at your disposal from now on. I will not mention the assassination of Xiao Yu." Zhang Donghe folded his hands and said seriously.
Conquering hundreds of people at once is something that most people cannot resist.
These days, who would despise his own strength?
Xiao Chen shook his head: "Daxing Chamber of Commerce should have saved a lot of money in the past few years, I want it."
"Silver?" Zhang Donghe couldn't help but be stunned. The dignified purple-robed captain actually only cared about silver.
If it were just that, it would be much easier to handle. For so many years, although the Chamber of Commerce has only been selling vegetables, it can't help but sell large quantities.
Not much, but the Chamber of Commerce can still come up with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
"Why, for so many years, the Daxing Chamber of Commerce has just used the name of the Chamber of Commerce and not done anything?" Xiao Chen smiled lightly, obviously not believing it.
"Since the King of Han put us in Daxing County, there has been no source of income. The brothers can only rely on themselves and live by selling some vegetables. We have made a little money, but after eating and drinking a hundred people,
There isn’t much left,” Zhang Donghe said.
Of course I have money, but if I say it directly in front of everyone, wouldn't it be tantamount to admitting that I have been embezzling everyone's hard-earned money over the years.
In this way, my image in the minds of everyone will directly decline. How will I convince the public in the future? Who will listen to my words?
Outside the yard, there was another rush of footsteps.
In the blink of an eye, Duan Tianming walked in with fifty or sixty Dongchang captains.
Seeing Xiao Chen standing alone against hundreds of men from a distance, he pulled out the knife from his waist with a "crash" and prepared to kill them.
"No need to come over, just guard the door." Xiao Chen shouted from a distance.
Looking at the uniform team of Dongchang captains behind them, and then looking at the bright swords in their hands, the Daxing Chamber of Commerce personnel began to stir.
He looked left and right, his right hand on the cuff of his left sleeve, ready to draw his weapon and fight at any time.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Donghe couldn't help but become nervous. Once he started taking action, there was only one fate for people like him, and that was death.
Since the captain in purple clothes wants money, then give him the money.
"Lord Ziyi, can you lend me a moment to speak?" Zhang Donghe said hurriedly.
"Okay, come on, let's go inside and talk." Xiao Chen waved and walked towards the hall.
Walking to the central hall of the hall, Xiao Chen smiled faintly: "If you have anything to say, say it here. I'll make sure your brothers can't hear it."
Zhang Donghe cupped his hands and said, "To be honest with you, the Daxing Chamber of Commerce has hundreds of thousands in savings. However, I didn't bring it with me."
"Hundreds of thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Hundreds of people have been working hard for several years. It shouldn't be a few hundred thousand, right?" Xiao Chen chuckled, with a very money-obsessed expression on his face.
"Sir, it's not that much. The total is only about 350,000 taels of silver notes."
"Three hundred and fifty thousand taels is quite a lot." Xiao Chen said.
"Then, little one, go and get it for the adults now?"
"Huh? Okay, let's go, let's go." Xiao Chen chuckled, seeming to be very satisfied with the amount.
"Sir, wait a moment, I'll go get it right away." Zhang Donghe responded and hurriedly walked out of the door.
Watching Zhang Donghe walk out of the courtyard, Xiao Chen put the roster on the table, walked slowly to the entrance of the hall, and scanned everyone in the Daxing Chamber of Commerce one by one.
"Have you told your family about your funeral arrangements?" As he said this, his right hand slowly clasped on the silver handle of Li Ren's knife.
"You, you really want to take action?" The crowd became agitated and gradually began to commotion.
Just now, Xiao Chen let his president go, obviously having reached some kind of agreement. But now, he suddenly has to deal with everyone again. Could it be that the president Zhang Donghe betrayed everyone?
Xiao Chen smiled coldly: "I know you all have weapons hidden in your sleeves. Take them out. I don't like killing people who don't resist."
As he said that, his right hand suddenly pulled out the blade from his waist.
A blue light flashed across the blade as thin as a cicada's wing. The sky and earth suddenly became dark, and the sun in the sky seemed to want to avoid its sharp edge and quickly hid in a group of dark clouds.
The cold wind blew, and everyone's necks felt cold, like washed Japanese melons, ready to be slaughtered.
"Everyone fought hard with him. Even if he died, we would leave our knife wounds on his body." Someone shouted.
There was a "crash" sound, and hundreds of people took out the sharp weapons hidden in their sleeves.
However, even with sharp weapons in hand, no one rushed forward.
Although this group is a mob, they are not stupid either. No one wants to be the first to experience the feeling of having their heads cut off.
"Haha, there are so many of you, why don't you give way to me? Then I won't be polite."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Chen had already lifted up more than ten feet in height. The Liblade in his hand drew a blue arc behind him, and instantly transformed into a virtual blade more than ten feet long, which was already making random moves towards the opponent.
The regiment's ranks fell.
With a "boom", the old locust tree surrounded by three people behind the team was split in two by Xiao Chen's virtual blade, swayed a few times, and fell to the ground.
"ah..."
"ah..."
In the courtyard of the Daxing Chamber of Commerce, there were bursts of screams like ghosts crying and wolves howling.
The entire team was divided into two sides as if a huge hole had been opened.
In the gap, someone was split in half from the top of his head, someone's whole shoulder was split to the ground, and someone's thigh had been separated from the body.
The blood on the ground, mixed with a large number of arms and legs, was like a purgatory on earth.
