Qingfengzhai meeting hall.
Wang Xiong sat on the main seat.
"Master Wang, I'd like to pay my respects to you." Tang Dalong bowed and saluted. Although he was unhappy because of his boss, at this time, he had to swallow his anger and look cheerful when he asked for help.
"Boss Tang, we are all good brothers, there is no need to be so polite." During this period, Wang Xiong first occupied Xiaojiajiao and then Wang Yaqiao's money, and he felt more comfortable. "If you have anything to do, just tell me."
"Master Wang, it's like this. The Chen Jia you captured this time is a friend of a good brother of mine. Now he has asked me for help. I think that Wang Yaqiao has burned down the martial arts hall and beaten up Chen Jia. He's angry and angry, why don't you ask for help and let him go, that's all." Tang Dalong said.
"Who is your brother?" Wang Xiong asked.
"His name is Zhang Tianhe."
"Is this the same Zhang Tianhe who defeated Zhong'an Fort and defeated Du Lisi, the Living King of Hell?" Wang Xiong asked.
"Exactly."
"This man is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also very resourceful. It's not simple."
"Fortress leader, have you heard about it too?"
"Tang Leader, since you are brothers, can you do some ideological work for him and invite him to our village to join our team and be used by me?" Wang Xiong said, "As long as he is willing to come, Just like you, give him a position of leadership."
"Master of the Village, thank you for your kindness. However, I have told him about this matter before. He said that he now has a wife to support and he does not want to join the gang."
"It turns out you are a filial son!" When Wang Xiong heard this, he praised him on the surface, but in fact he was a little unhappy in his heart.
"I will talk to him slowly about inviting Zhang Tianhe to join the gang later. Then Chen Jia also begs the leader of the village to be kind and let him go."
"Leader Tang, it's not that I, Wang, don't give you face. This matter is not easy to handle." Wang Xiong sighed, "Although I am the deputy leader of the village, I am only a deputy after all. There are others above me. Dahengbang, I don’t have the final say on everything. In addition, the master of suffering, the leader of the Ax Gang, Wang Yaqiao, is still here watching. He said that if his brother is still unconscious, or there is something wrong with him, If you want to sacrifice Chen Jia's life for another, and they won't let go, how can I let him go so easily?"
"Master Wang, the injury caused by Tai Sui was caused by himself. What does it have to do with Chen Jia?"
"Having said that, but you and I are not at the scene, who can say it clearly, and who can prove that it has nothing to do with Chen A? Now that he is the victim, if he doesn't bear this responsibility, who will?"
"Master Wang, do you think this will work? How about you ask Wang Yaqiao to set a price for the cost of treating Tai Sui's injuries, and Chen Jia will be responsible for it?"
"I'm afraid this is not a matter of money. If Tai Sui's injuries cannot be cured, or he becomes permanently disabled, what's the use of giving him more money? People may not agree to it," Wang Xiong said.
"Master of the village, please talk to Wang Yaqiao." Tang Dalong thought that this would not work, and that would not work. He was already cursing in his heart. He endured it again and again without daring to break out.
"Well, for your sake, I'll go talk to him, but you don't have to blame him for success or failure."
"Master, what are you talking about? It's all your fault."
In the afternoon, Tang Dalong came to the meeting hall to see Wang Xiong again.
"Master Wang, what did Wang Yaqiao say?" Tang Dalong asked.
"Oh, Leader Tang, after you left, I went to Gang Leader Wang and told him specifically about this matter." Wang Xiong looked at him and said tentatively, "Gang Leader Wang said that the medical expenses for Tai Sui's illness would cost at least six months. A thousand taels of silver."
"I want this much!"
"You may think it's a bit much, but if you think about it carefully, it's not much. First, the incision on Tai Sui's left arm is too deep and the left arm may not be saved. Second, he is still unconscious and is very likely to become a Vegetative state." Wang Xiong said.
"However, Chen Jia only has a dozen or so apprentices in his ruined martial arts gym. Each apprentice's annual tuition is only a few taels of silver. Now the martial arts gym has been burned to the ground, and the little silver he had originally has been taken away. , where is the money?”
"I can understand what you are saying, Mr. Tang, but if the sufferer refuses to let go, what can I do?" Wang Xiong rolled his eyes, "Tang, Mr. Leader, let's do this. For your sake, I will be in the middle. If you mediate for a while, you will insist on taking over this family. You ask Chen Jia and the others to collect five thousand taels of silver, and we will release him immediately. What do you think?"
"Okay, then it's settled." Tang Dalong thought to himself that you clearly want to line your pockets and siphon off the money. Who is the King's Gang who wants the money? It's just a cover, but he is so powerful that he doesn't dare to speak out. Able to hold back secret energy.
Tang Dalong left the meeting hall, came to Yuelai Tavern, met Zhang Tianhe, and told him the situation.
"He really wants five thousand taels of silver. This Wang Xiong is really ruthless." Zhang Tianhe said.
"This bastard, he hasn't given me the twelve thousand taels of silver he owed me and my brothers before, and now he wants another five thousand taels." Tang Dalong suddenly stood up and punched the table, "I will fight with him. "
"Brother Tang, you must not do it. You can't fight forcefully, or you will suffer losses if you don't do it!" Zhang Tianhe stopped him quickly, "Sit down first, and we will discuss it later."
"People like this are unkind and greedy. They put their hands in the coffin and want money!" Tang Dalong said angrily. "It doesn't make sense to reason with him. If only he could give me guns and cannons, he would be honest."
"Don't be impatient, don't act rashly, wait until I get back to find a solution." Zhang Tianhe told him.
"Okay, it's all up to you. Sooner or later I'm going to vent my anger!" Tang Dalong said, "It's a total of five thousand taels of silver. Since Wang Xiong owed us the salary, I don't have much money. Let me tell Lao Jiu , we will each give you one thousand taels of silver, and you can go back and collect another three thousand taels."
"Oh, brother, let me thank you and my ninth brother on behalf of Chen Jia." Zhang Tianhe said.
"Tianhe, what are you talking about? You saved my life, and a mere thousand taels of silver is nothing!" Tang Dalong said.
"In this case, Chen Jia is injured, so I will go back without further delay."
The two separated, Tang Dalong returned to the village, and Zhang Tianhe got on his horse and returned to Xiaozhangzhuang.
After returning home, Zhang Tianhe called his sister and brother-in-law Wang Laohao over to discuss.
"Tianhe, in that case, it's important to save your brother. The thousand taels of silver you gave me last time is still here. You can take it." Mr. Wang said.
Zhang Tianhe thought that he had really found this brother-in-law.
"Sister, I still have a few hundred taels of silver on hand, but it's still not enough," Zhang Tianhe said, "I plan to use part of your dowry to make up for it."
"Take it, it was originally sent to you by your friends and your godfather," Zhang Tianfeng said, "As long as you can save your brother."
Zhang Tianhe finally collected the money and rushed to Qingfeng Village.
In the evening, I arrived at Yuelai Tavern. After meeting Tang Dalong, I handed him three thousand taels of silver. Tang Dalong and Li Sizhe each added another one thousand taels, which was exactly five thousand taels of silver.
