Instead of raising the price, Qin Feng directly cut the price in half.
If it were anyone else, Lu Yi would have turned against him long ago, but facing Qin Feng, Lu Yi was cautious.
One thousand taels of silver is enough for three generations to have enough food and clothing.
I got a thousand taels of silver for free, and I didn't have to offend Qin Feng. I could also get Qin Feng's protection and go home to enjoy peace and happiness.
The weight of this one thousand taels of silver is heavier than the two thousand taels of silver offered by the Nangong family!
Lu Yi was already shaken. He frowned and looked at Qin Feng with complicated eyes.
"The Marquis of Qin always demands revenge. We killed more than ten people in Lijia Village before. Can this grudge be wiped out?"
After hearing this, Qin Feng did not conceal the murderous intent in his eyes.
"Write it off? As a dead soldier, how can you be so naive?"
"A life is worth a life!"
"How many people you killed in Lijiacun will lead to how many people will die. As for how to arrange it, that is your own business!"
Having said this, Qin Feng stepped forward directly, approached Lu Yi, and stared into his eyes with his sharp eyes.
"As I said before, you have no choice!"
"Now that I'm standing here, I have the confidence to escape unscathed."
"There are only two roads before you."
"One, take my advice."
"Secondly, you killed all the hostages in Lijia Village, then trapped them in the Tutu Temple, and finally killed them all, and your family members will also be retaliated against."
"As for your pre-conceived plans, they are worthless!"
He felt the aura emanating from Qin Feng, and the black knight behind him, eyeing him eagerly.
Only then did Lu Yi understand that Qin Feng came here not to exchange his own life for the lives of the people in Lijia Village.
He is just here to fulfill his duties and know destiny.
After a moment of hesitation, Lu Yi gritted his teeth: "Okay! I agree!"
"We will naturally have thirteen brothers to pay for the lives of the thirteen people of Lijia Village. On the wedding day, I will also personally come forward to testify for Lord Qin and identify Queen Nangong."
"After that, we will take off our armor and return to the countryside."
"but……"
"The Marquis of Qin has finished discussing the business, and it's my turn. With an additional three thousand taels of silver, I will tell you that there are two other dead soldiers dormant in the Gyeonggi area."
Hearing this, Qin Feng's cold eyes finally cleared the clouds and saw the sun.
He directly raised his hand, patted Lu Yi's shoulder, and said sincerely: "Those who know the current affairs are heroes."
"Betraying the remaining dead soldiers can speed up the destruction of the wealthy clans in the south. It will also be of great benefit to you yourself."
"Although I don't need to pay this money at all, in order to encourage the other dead soldiers to abandon the dark side and turn to the light, I gave this money."
Lu Yi did not hesitate, contacted Zhao Yulong directly, and told him the hiding place of the other two groups of dead soldiers ambushed in Gyeonggi Province.
Since Qin Feng didn't have that much money with him, he asked Lu Yi and others to send people to Tianji Camp to get the money two days later.
A total of seventy-three thousand taels of silver.
This amount of money is also an astronomical figure for Qin Feng.
After all, it can greatly improve the people's livelihood in the north.
But the money was still well spent. It could not only save the hostages in Lijiacun without any blood, but also severely injure Queen Nangong and accelerate the decline of the power of the southern nobles in Kyoto.
Being able to spend money to instigate rebellion is much more cost-effective than directly sending troops to fight.
Lu Yi returned to the Earth Temple with Qin Feng's handwriting and directly summoned the thirty people who were ambushing outside.
He first waved his hand and signaled to his men to release the hostages in Lijiacun.
The deputy was very confused and questioned him on the spot.
"Boss, after we have collected the money from the Nangong family, we must handle the matter to the end, otherwise..."
Before the deputy could finish speaking, Lu Yi interrupted him directly.
"Otherwise what? The family is ruined?"
"Now the situation has changed."
"Although the wealthy families in the southern region are powerful, they are trapped in the southern border of Liang Kingdom. The person who really needs his life is Qin Feng."
"The northern territory of Daliang controlled by Qin Feng can already point his sword at Yuezhao Kingdom. Moreover, he also controls Beidi Sangzhou. Even the Queen of Beidi is about to get married to Qin Feng."
"If you offend the Nangong family, you may be retaliated against, but if you offend Qin Feng, you will definitely die."
"This is not a question of whether you are afraid of death, but it is meaningless if you cannot die."
Speaking of this, Lu Yi took out Qin Feng's handwriting.
"As long as we let the people from Lijia Village go and help Qin Feng identify Queen Nangong, we can each get a thousand taels of silver."
"And the threat from the Nangong family will naturally be blocked by Qin Feng."
"In addition, those who are willing to move to Beidi Sangzhou and be protected by Qin Feng can also directly move their families with them."
“Isn’t that what we want for our families to live a good life?”
After hearing Lu Yi's words, all the dead soldiers fell silent.
It is undeniable that the price offered by Qin Feng is much more generous than that of the Nangong family, and there is no reason to refuse at all.
A moment later, the deputy asked again.
"We have already killed someone, Qin Feng will not let us go."
Lu Yi took a deep breath. Although he didn't want to mention it, in order to make this mission a good one, he had no choice but to explain it.
"We killed thirteen people, and thirteen more were left to die."
"I asked Qin Feng for an additional three thousand taels of silver. Each of these thirteen people received an additional two hundred taels of silver. The remaining four hundred taels of silver were used to transport the body home and organize the funeral."
Everyone fell silent again.
After all, they can already get one thousand taels of silver for free and go home to live a good life. Why do they have to die here for another two hundred taels of silver?
As Lu Yi expected, no one wanted to die.
Lu Yi didn't force it. He just said that they would draw lots in the evening and named twenty people to escort the hostages in Lijiacun away.
Almost as soon as these twenty people left, Lu Yi announced to the remaining fifty people.
"The thirteen people who have been chosen to die are among the twenty."
"When they come back, fire all the arrows, and whoever is shot dead will be counted. If there are too many, the three thousand taels will be redistributed. If there are too few, just add a few more arrows."
"Don't blame me for being cruel, after all..."
Before Lu Yi could finish speaking, an arrow flew directly through the window and hit Lu Yi in the head.
boom!
Lu Yi had almost no reaction, fell to the ground, and died suddenly on the spot.
Immediately afterwards, arrows continued to shoot in from outside.
The remaining dead soldiers hid in panic, but in the blink of an eye, seven or eight of them were shot over.
What was left was a stalemate, with both sides starting to fight and shoot indiscriminately, causing casualties both inside and outside.
After a while, the deputy's shout came from outside the door.
"enough!"
"Thirteen people have been selected, and the remaining people no longer need to die in vain."
The deputy waved his arm through the gate to make sure no arrows were coming, and then he mustered up the courage and walked back to the Earth Temple.
