Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 572: Poor people and short ambitions
  "This is absolutely impossible. The farmer will not be coerced like this!" After recovering from the huge number spoken by the Six-fingered Black Man, the first thing Tian Guang said was rejection.

His tone was so generous and sonorous that one could not tell that a few breaths ago he had shamefully chosen to bow his head and submit.

Tian Guang didn't feel embarrassed about his "falling out".

He definitely couldn't agree. He originally thought he would lose some face, but he had already lost face anyway, and it was just a matter of increasing the dosage.

But the other party actually wanted so much money!

This damn thing is enough for him to provide for 30,000 peasant disciples to squat in Daze Mountain for half a year. Why should he give the money to the other party?

Of course, the more important point is that he can't afford the money at all...

It can be said that the financial situation of the farm family is not as good as what Six Finger Black Man had guessed before, but it can also be said that it is much stronger than what Six Finger Black Man had guessed.

In the final analysis, this contradictory situation lies in the division of six halls.

If Tian Guang mobilized Liutang's funds in the name of Xiakui, it would be difficult to collect 10,000 gold.

But the main thing is that each Tangtang is really willing to pay, and Wan'er can definitely pay for eight thousand gold. It is not impossible to collect 60,000 gold.

The question is, who is willing to pay?
  Not to mention that the hall leaders who were each beating Xiao Jiujiu were Tiehanhan Tianhu. He was not willing to spit out the meat in his mouth and give it to others.

As for what kind of threat Guxun poses to farmers?
  That is what Xiakui should worry about, what does it have to do with them?

Tian Guang didn't need to think about it to know how the hall masters would react if he asked for money.

"..." Seeing Tian Guang's stern refusal, the Six-fingered Black Hero knew that Gu Xun's request was overwhelming, but he could only continue to persuade, "Xia Kui, please don't act out of emotion. Sixty thousand gold... Sixty thousand gold is certainly a huge amount. But we still have to focus on the overall situation.”

The six-fingered black man said that he felt guilty.

No matter how you look at it, 60,000 gold itself is enough to be considered the overall situation.

Tian Guang also had a bitter look on his face, "Senior Liuzhi, I think you should also know that this is not a matter of whether I consider the overall situation, but that the farmer simply cannot afford the money."

"Gu Xun didn't give me a choice at all. In this case, if he wants to fight, then the farmer can only wait for his arrival."

The Six-Fingered Black Man's hood shook slightly, as if in agreement, but he said in a slightly doubtful tone:

"Speaking of which, I'm still a little strange."

"When Gu was looking for the Shangmo family before and asked me to come to the farmer to talk about this matter, I successfully persuaded him to only ask for 20,000 gold on the grounds that the Jianghu sect's financial resources were tight..."

What a 'only'...

Tian Guang felt that he was out of touch with the times. When could twenty thousand gold be described as "only"?
  But there is one thing to say, if it only requires 20,000 gold, Tian Guang is still sure to get it together.

So...why did it triple in the end?
  Under Tian Guang's probing gaze, the Six-fingered Black Man continued:

"But later, for some unknown reason, he suddenly changed his mind and asked me to ask the farmer for 100,000 gold. However, the price can be negotiated, and the minimum price cannot be less than 60,000 gold."

At the end of the sentence, the Six-fingered Black Man seemed to have no intention of asking, and said doubtfully:

"Does Xia Kui know why he suddenly changed his tune?"

"This...I don't know either!" Tian Guang looked as usual and replied with a wry smile, "Who can be sure of a moody and wanton person like that?"

"Really..." After the Six-fingered Black Man gave a noncommittal response, he finally advised, "No matter what, I have brought it to Xia Kui. From my personal point of view, I still feel that Xia Kui should try his best to satisfy the other party. requirements.”

"If the farmer goes head-to-head with him, there will be no benefit, so it is better to lose money and avoid disaster." "If Xiakui is willing to pay, you can send someone to contact the Mo family to find me. Gu Xun gave the farmer three months to raise funds, and every three months If so, he will regard it as the farmer’s disapproval.”

"Tian understands, but the matter is serious, let me think about it." Tian Guang nodded, with a serious look on his face.

The Six-fingered Black Man said no more, and the two of them left the inner hall together.

During the entire conversation, the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention too much about why the Six-fingered Black Man came to the farmhouse in ancient times and made such excessive demands for blackmail.

The Mohist family has no obligation to explain to the peasant family, and the peasant family has no right to question the Mohist family. They have a tacit understanding with each other, and the best choice is to just pretend that nothing happened.

Afterwards, the Six-fingered Black Man casually exchanged some nonsense with the Sixth Hall Master, then said goodbye and left Daze Mountain.

Tian Guang was not in a hurry to discuss the matter with the Sixth Hall Master afterwards.

Although they all could tell from Tian Guang's solemn expression that the Six-Fingered Black Man must have brought about a serious and difficult trouble.

Of course, the Sixth Hall Master asked what the Six-fingered Black Man had said, but Tian Guang brushed it off and only said that he needed to investigate it himself before telling them.

The first level of officialdom was overwhelming. As a knight-errant, Tian Guang was determined not to say anything and no one could do anything to him. The several hall leaders had no choice but to give up and disperse, planning to find a way to find out more in private.

Tian Guang also left Shennong Hall and returned to his residence.

The reason why he did not inform the Six Hall Masters of this matter immediately was because Six Finger Black Man said that Gu Xun suddenly changed his mind.

The Six-fingered Black Man couldn't figure out the reason, but Tian Guang had some guesses in his mind.

I'm afraid it's because Gu Xun thought of what he said before, the person behind him, the hero of the peasant family.

Tian Guang was basically sure that the Six-fingered Black Man must also have some doubts in his heart, and the previous inquiry must be a test.

Fortunately, his psychological quality passed the test and he did not reveal any flaws. No matter how suspicious the other party was, he would not be able to guess anything.

But Gu Xun's problem still hangs over his head.

He couldn't be sure if the other party just wanted to take this opportunity to make a big sum of money, or if he had other agendas.

For example, how about using this opportunity to test the strength of the person behind him?

Or maybe you just want to use this to find someone to blame on Lord Changping?
  There are too many possibilities, and it concerns Lord Changping. He cannot act arbitrarily and must ask the other party for instructions first.

The key is to see whether Lord Changping supports direct war with the other party, or whether he is willing to pay to settle the matter.

Tian Guang thought that he knew enough about the Six-Fingered Black Man's temperament.

No matter what kind of connection he had with Gu Xun, it was unlikely that he would deliberately deceive himself on this matter.

In other words, the other party's advice was sincere. In other words, Gu Xun might be more difficult to deal with than he showed during the last ambush.

Such super-standard single combat power targets can sometimes be even more destructive than the army.

Sixty thousand gold is certainly important, but there are many things more important than it.

Since the Six-Fingered Black Man strongly did not recommend starting a war with the other party, Tian Guang could only consider paying to save money and avoid disaster.

But in this way, it comes back, and it depends on what Changping Jun wants, because Tian Guang cannot afford the money.

　It’s New Year’s Day and there are a lot of things at home. Chapter 2 will be later.
