Zheng Dalang, who was beaming with joy, bowed his hands to the night walkers and said, "Thank you all for helping our Zhengjia Village get rid of such a big disaster tonight!"
"Tomorrow at noon, I, Zheng Dalang, will hold a big banquet here and invite all the men, women, and children in the village to come and eat from every household!"
"On the one hand, this banquet is to celebrate that our Zhengjia Village has survived this disaster safely; on the other hand, it is also to thank you for your generous actions. This is the celebration banquet given to you at that time!"
"I also ask you to show your respect and come here!"
"Ahem!" Chi Yan interrupted Zheng Dalang's words, and then said: "Zheng Dalang! Let's talk about the banquet later! Let's help you kill this zombie. Where's the bounty? Take it out quickly!"
Although Zheng Dalang was unhappy in his heart, he still pretended to be pleasant and said: "Master Chi Yan, please rest assured, I, Mr. Zheng, will naturally not go back on my promise, and I will arrange for someone to deliver the bounty!"
After he finished talking to Chi Yan, he immediately shouted loudly: "Counter! Go get five hundred taels of silver and give it to some of the masters of the night trade!"
"Yes! Master!" Someone in the crowd behind him answered, and then planned to return to the house.
But Chi Yan shouted: "Wait a minute!"
The man was stunned for a moment and looked at Zheng Dalang, not knowing whether he should wait or not.
Zheng Dalang frowned and asked: "Master Chiyan, what do you mean? Don't you want the reward? I am arranging for someone to get the money for you!"
Chi Yan waved his hand and said: "Bounty is one thing, there are still things to settle between us!"
"We?" Zheng Dalang looked at him, his brows furrowed even deeper, and he had no idea what he was talking about.
Chi Yan sneered and said, "Zheng Dali Zheng has a really good memory! You just forgot what happened during the day?"
"You asked your young man to lead me into that yard and let me meet that evil star Wang Li!"
"Your little boy also spoke arrogantly and made the evil star angry. He asked me to throw him out! I almost suffered disaster after him! Do you have to settle this matter with me?"
Um?
As soon as Chi Yan said this, Zheng Dalang was stunned, Bingbo was stunned, and the other Ye Xinglangs were all stunned. Only the boy's face was ashen. He knew that he was finished!
Zheng Dalang was stunned for a moment, and then turned to look at the boy. Seeing the boy's hopeless look, he immediately realized that Chi Yan's words were right, and he had been deceived by that boy. !
It wasn't Chi Yan who made Wang Li angry at all, but that boy who made him angry!
No wonder Wang Li didn't have a good face when he saw him. His feelings were not because he knew something, but because he was angered by his servant before. Under such circumstances, he definitely didn't have a good face towards him. !
After thinking about this, Zheng Dalang glanced at the boy with a murderous look, then took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, squeezed out a smile, turned to look at Chi Yan, and said: "In this matter, Zheng People really don’t know!”
"Master Chiyan, please don't misunderstand. All of this was done by that daring guy. It has nothing to do with me or our Zheng family!"
"This man has tricked you. Mr. Zheng will hand him over to you to make amends! His life or death is up to you, Master Chiyan, to decide whether to kill or behead him, it's up to you!"
"Hey!" Chi Yan sneered again and said impatiently: "What's the use of him? Killing him will make my hands dirty! Stop talking nonsense, the price is one hundred taels of silver! This matter Even if it’s over! Otherwise, you can try it!”
Zheng Dalang almost couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, one hundred taels? Stealing money?
That boy's life is not even worth ten taels! Are you asking yourself now if you want one hundred taels?
Isn't it obvious that this is for extortion?
He turned to look at Bingbo, hoping that Bingbo could speak justice for him.
Unexpectedly, after Bingbo saw Zheng Dalang looking at him, he said calmly: "Rich Man Zheng, it's only a hundred taels, it's just for you, it's nothing, just give it to him!"
"We all heard what you just said. In this matter, it was your Zheng family who provoked him first. If he really does something drastic, it doesn't violate the rules!"
"Rich Man Zheng! This guy Chi Yan is just a merciless master. It's not worth it to let him make your family miserable for just a hundred taels!"
The other Ye Xinglang also nodded and acknowledged Bingbo's words.
Bing Bo's words sounded like he was hurting Chi Yan, but Chi Yan not only didn't mind, but held his head high and even looked at Zheng Dalang provocatively, as if to say: "Yes, I am a master who is not stingy. Give me the money, and your family will not be able to live in peace in the future!"
Zheng Dalang was so angry that he kept breathing deeply, trying to calm down, but in the end he couldn't get angry anymore. Finally, he turned his head and gritted his teeth and said: "Accounting room! Get six hundred taels of silver!"
When he heard it was six hundred taels, Chi Yan's smile suddenly appeared.
After a while, the accountant came out holding stacks of white silver ingots.
Chi Yan's eyes lit up, and he was about to take it, but was pulled by the two Ye Xinglang tacitly, and then watched helplessly as Bingbo took the silver.
Bing Bo took the bounty and stuffed one hundred taels into himself, and then gave another one hundred taels to each of the others. Finally, the remaining two hundred taels were given to Chi Yan together with the wooden board containing the money.
Chi Yan looked at the silver ingot in his hand, and then at the silver ingots in other people's arms. He saw that his own silver ingot had changed from three hundred and fifty taels to two hundred taels, which was almost half less.
His eyes are red!
Zheng Dalang watched Bingbo take the silver ingot and divide it, and then watched Chi Yan's eyes turn red. He didn't know why, but he felt much better.
Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Bingbo.
Bingbo said to him: "Rich Man Zheng, actually, this zombie was not killed by us, but by the man named Wang Li! He just asked us to deal with it after he killed the zombie!"
"You must call him to the celebration party tomorrow! If you miss him, make him feel that he is not taken seriously, and make him angry, we can't save you!"
Bingbo said this not for Zheng Dalang, but for people like himself.
Although the man named Wang Li doesn't care about the reward, what if he cares about reputation?
From what Zheng Dalang said when they met him during the day, he could tell that this guy named Wang Li was originally from Zhengjia Village, but he later left here and left his hometown to pursue his career.
Now that he is back, he has returned from his studies and developed a world-shaking martial arts. He will definitely return to his hometown in glory and glory!
And for people like him who came back from the outside, don't they just want a face?
Is there anything more shameless than killing the monster that caused trouble in the village and saving the lives of all the people in the village?
It would be too much for people like me to take the bounty that originally belonged to that person. If we also deny this reputation, wouldn't it really be an imposter?
That person may not care about the bounty, but he may not care about the reputation!
If you are really angry, why don't you settle the score with people like yourself?
