Chapter 11 Sir, we need more money!

"My lord, you don't have to give it..."

Ding Xiu looked indifferent and slowly took out Wu Chang Bo from his arms.

Zhang Ying looked shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to snatch Wuchang Bo.

After all, he didn't dare to take a gamble. Even if he had the backing and background, at this juncture, everyone wanted to distance themselves from Wei Zhongxian's party, and I'm afraid no one would dare to protect him.

As a result, Ding Xiu pinched his neck as soon as he rushed forward.

"Lord Baihu, even if you snatch Wu Changbo, what's the use? As long as I bring this matter up, there will be many people to punish you."

"I...I give..."

Zhang Ying finally gave in.

Unexpectedly, Ding Xiu shook his head: "It's too late, now...you have to pay more!"

"you……"

"The fixed price is one thousand, five hundred taels. If adults from a hundred households still dare to bargain, we can increase the price by 500 taels each time."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Ying was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

He always thought he was shameless, but he didn't expect to meet someone even more shameless than him.

One thousand, five hundred taels is not a small amount, but what can he do?Is money or life more important?

Obviously the latter.

"Cough cough cough..."

As soon as Ding Xiu let go, Zhang Ying coughed again.

After he regained his breath, he said with a gloomy face: "I can give you the money, but you must swear an oath not to tell anyone about this."

"Sorry, I can only promise you not to tell others, but I won't swear, you may believe it or not."

"You...you..." Zhang Ying was so angry that her whole body was shaking.

"I must see Yinzi before the value breaks in the afternoon, otherwise, I will bear the consequences!"

After saying that, Ding Xiu strode away.

"Boom..."

As soon as he left, Zhang Ying slumped down on the chair.

At this moment, he wished he could have someone chop Ding Xiu to death with a flurry of knives, but he didn't dare.He didn't know who else knew about this.

No matter how frustrated I feel, I can only spend money to ward off the misfortune.

On the other side, Shen Lian discussed with Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan, and then found Ding Xiu to discuss together.

"Brother Ding, Brother Lu, Yichuan and I have already discussed that we will set off tonight and bring twenty brothers with us."

Ding Xiu waved his hand: "Don't take any brothers with you, just the four of us."

"Just the four of us?" Lu Jianxing looked stunned: "But Wei Zhongxian has many masters around him. It may be difficult for the four of us to kill the eunuch."

Ding Xiu walked to the door, took a look, and then said to Jin Yichuan: "Yichuan, watch from the door."

Jin Yichuan glared at Ding Xiu, and finally walked out of the door obediently.

"Brother Lu, Brother Shen, this mission is actually a beheading mission."

"What?" This time, Shen Lian couldn't help being surprised.

Ding Xiu whispered: "The emperor wants to kill Wei Zhongxian. He can do it in the capital. Why do he send people secretly to get rid of him?"

"This……"

Ding Xiu continued to explain: "This is what I speculate. The emperor is actually hesitating. He must kill the eunuchs, but he must not kill them all. In that case, the Donglin party will dominate the court.

As for the eunuchs, they probably just want to save their own lives at this time. Only by saving their lives can they have a chance to make a comeback.

Therefore, Wei Zhongxian must die. As long as he dies, the emperor can use the excuse that the clues have been cut off, so that the major issue can be reduced to a trivial matter, and there will no longer be a big fanfare to annihilate the eunuchs.

In short, the emperor wants Wei Zhongxian dead, but he doesn’t want to bear the reputation of killing Wei Zhongxian, so someone needs to take the blame..."

"hiss……"

Hearing this, Shen Lian couldn't help but take a breath.

Obviously, he understood the deeper meaning.

Lu Jianxing frowned and murmured: "If you want to put it this way, no matter whether we can kill Wei Zhongxian or not, we will still have to die in the end?"

Ding Xiu nodded with a smile: "Yes, that's the theory. If he hadn't been killed, Zhao Jingzhong would definitely have silenced him. If he had killed him... he would have also found an opportunity to silence him.

In this way, the truth is always in their hands and they can say whatever they want. Shen Lian caught the key word "theoretically" in Ding Xiu's words. He couldn't help but frown and asked, "Brother Ding, does he have any countermeasures?" "

"Of course! As the saying goes, wealth can be found in danger. This time, let's give it a try together. If we win, we will have a bright future."

"Then..." Shen Lian hesitated: "What if we lose?"

Ding Xiu looked confident: "On this trip, you can only win, not lose!"

About half an hour later, a Jin Yiwei came to Ding Xiu and said, "Master Xiaoqi, Master Baihu asked you to come over."

"understood."

As soon as they left, Lu Jianxing couldn't help but ask: "Brother, what does Zhang want to do with you at this time?"

Ding Xiu smiled mysteriously: "His conscience found out and he was ready to return the money given by Brother Lu."

"what?"

Before Lu Jianxing could recover, Ding Xiu had already strode out the door.

Sure enough, as soon as they met, Zhang Ying felt like she was seeing the enemy who killed her father. She gritted her teeth, glared, and handed over a stack of banknotes: "One thousand, five hundred taels, you count them."

"Hahaha, no need to count, how can I still not trust the adults of a hundred households despite my humble position?"

"Ding Xiu, I'm warning you that if you dare to leak this matter, I will fight you to the death."

Ding Xiu said seriously: "What are you talking about, sir? There is nothing wrong with being humble... I have nothing to do. I'll leave now."

Looking at his leaving figure, Zhang Ying couldn't help but clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her flesh without even realizing the pain.

After returning, Ding Xiu took out 200 taels of silver notes and handed them to Lu Jianxing.

Lu Jianxing looked surprised: "Brother, what are you doing?"

Ding Xiu smiled: "This is the money that Master Baihu returned to Brother Lu, not mine."

Lu Jianxing's face became even more shocked: "Did Master Baihu give it to you? What the hell is going on?"

"Perhaps it's due to conscience. If Brother Lu doesn't believe it, you can go and thank Mr. Baihu in person."

Lu Jianxing hesitated for a while, and then he actually ran to find Zhang Ying. After all, this thing was so weird. Can a dog spit out meat buns from its mouth?

"Master Baihu, this money..."

Zhang Ying finally found a punching bag: "Lu Jianxing, why don't you do this? You guys are obviously colluding. Don't act like this with me. Get the money and get out of here."

Lu Jianxing was confused.

Zhang Ying said angrily: "What? Don't you think it's enough?"

Lu Jianxing came to his senses, quickly raised his hands and said: "I don't dare to do this for a humble job!"

"Go quickly and don't hang around in front of me."

At this time, in Zhang Ying's eyes, Ding Xiu, Lu Jianxing and others were no different from the God of Plague.

When leaving, Lu Jianxing still looked puzzled. What on earth did Ding Xiu do? How could he make a hundred people so angry?And you took the initiative to refund the money?
I couldn't figure it out, so I didn't bother to think about it anymore. After all, there was still a major task related to the future.

that night.

Shen Lian, Lu Jianxing, and Jin Yichuan appeared on horseback in the suburbs of Beijing.In order to facilitate their movements, all three of them disguised themselves as people from the Jianghu.

As for Ding Xiu, he has returned to the secret stronghold at this moment and is saying goodbye to Ding Baiying.

"This trip is full of dangers, you must be careful."

"Does Master care about his disciples?"

Ding Baiying glared at Ding Xiu: "Don't touch your nose or face."

"Master..."

"what's up?"

Before Ding Baiying could recover, Ding Xiu suddenly opened his arms and gave her a hug.

"Traitor, you..."

Ding Baiying was about to start flying, but Ding Xiu had already let go of his hand and cupped his hands towards her: "Master, take care, disciple, take your leave!"

After speaking, he turned around and walked away.

Ding Baiying gritted her teeth. Seeing Ding Xiu's back about to walk out of the door, she finally couldn't help but shouted: "Be careful during this trip, don't show off!"

"Got it, Master!"
