There were exclamations all around.
Especially the villagers' eyes widened.
Ten thousand taels?
This is the first time they have heard that even if everyone’s assets combined are not even a fraction, right?
Du Xinyun shook his head slightly and said, "One hundred thousand taels!"
"As long as His Highness Prince You lets these people go, I, the Du family, will obediently give them one hundred thousand taels!"
He pointed to the convoy behind him. The box was full of money.
"Your Highness, Prince You, we know that you want to establish a foothold here. The construction of your Prince You's Mansion alone costs hundreds of thousands taels. You also hire so many people to work. The daily expenses alone are an astronomical figure. !”
At this time, Du Xinyun became somewhat confident: "The ransom of one hundred thousand taels I have here is enough to support you for a long time. These unscrupulous people rely entirely on your charity to live. If you get this one hundred thousand taels, If we pay them all as wages, they will definitely be able to live a prosperous life."
"Our Du family only wants people, and you only want money. I think this deal is not a loss, right? You should think about it carefully!"
When Du Xinyun finished speaking, the noise immediately started.
The villagers had no knowledge and were the most surprised.
They have never seen ten thousand taels, let alone one hundred thousand taels.
But the villagers are also complicated in their hearts. They are full of hatred for the Du family. It is mainly the Du family who are causing them to be like this.
If everyone in the Du family returns safely and alive, what will everyone do in the future?
Will the Du family take revenge on everyone?
King You agreed to their conditions, so will King You be friends with them in the future?
Everyone is uneasy. They really can't understand the big shots' plans, and they don't know what the pattern is. They only know that the main goal at the moment is to stay alive.
"One hundred thousand taels is indeed a large amount of money! But... do you think I am the one who is short of one hundred thousand taels?"
Du Xinyun was not surprised at all, but asked: "What does His Highness Prince You mean?"
"This is your closest relative, and you want to redeem it for just one hundred thousand taels?" Li Zhao shook his head and said, "You have to pay more!"
Du Xinyun was still not surprised and asked: "How much?"
"At least two hundred thousand taels!" Li Zhaoshi said loudly.
Even the faces of the heads of Ruan Lanjia's three major families changed.
How dare you think about it.
Do you really think this money was brought by the strong wind?
Are those guys from the Du family worth 200,000 taels?
Li Bin, Li Chong and others had complicated expressions. They actually didn't want to let go of the Du family.
Whether it was the people who killed the Du family before or what happened today, everyone is already a mortal enemy.
Could it be that if we let these Du family members go, everyone would really be able to live in peace and harmony?
The villagers did not want to let go of the Du family. They were afraid that the Du family would settle with everyone once they regained a foothold.
"Since His Highness King You has made this request, we will use two hundred thousand taels to redeem the person. Your Highness, we are happy to cooperate!"
Although Du Xinyun found Li Zhao annoying, he was still very straightforward in doing things.
Although two hundred thousand taels is a lot, it is still a good choice as long as it can retain Du Hongyuan and his group.
The Du family cannot lose the territory of Jiaozhou.
In Jiaozhou, the Du family earned far more than the two hundred thousand taels. As long as they continued to take root here, they would be able to recover this loss sooner or later.
Li Zhao immediately stood up with a smile on his face, which made Du Xinyun feel a little dazed.
"Master Du, I know that you, the Du family, value friendship!"
He took the initiative to step forward and clasped his fists at Du Xinyun, very enthusiastically.
This made Du Xinyun and a group of Hailong County nobles who came to accompany him feel a little confused. This...is King You?
Or is this his true face?
The previous fierceness and arrogance were just his disguise?
The land of Jiaozhou is very dangerous, and an outsider really needs to disguise himself when coming here. Thinking of this, Du Xinyun and others felt that it was reasonable.
Du Xinyun also immediately showed a smile and said: "Thank you, His Highness Youwang, for raising your hand, then we..."
"One hand pays the money and the other hand delivers the goods!" Li Zhao said: "I am not willing to make it difficult for each other."
"Yes, yes!" Du Xinyun breathed a sigh of relief and silently wrote down this account in his heart.
The Du family immediately pulled the carriages forward one after another. The ruts were very deep, which showed how heavy the silver coins were.
The Du family, who were still being escorted, suddenly became arrogant. They broke free from Youwang Wei's control and did not forget to tidy up their clothes and hairstyle.
As a core member of an aristocratic family, etiquette and propriety cannot be compromised.
The Youwang guards gnashed their teeth. They were really unwilling to give up. The person they finally caught was redeemed like this?
Although the prince could get two hundred thousand, they would rather not have this two hundred thousand.
But... they also understand that if the prince wants to gain a foothold here, he cannot offend these people to death yet.
Du Hongyuan glared at Youwang Wei and led his clan members towards Du Xinyun and others.
"Master!" The head of the Sea Dragon King immediately shouted.
They are also members of the Du family, but they were allowed to be gangsters for insurance reasons.
Du Hongyuan paused after hearing this, then looked at Li Zhao and said, "King You, should they be released too?"
Everyone in the Sea Dragon King looked at Du Hongyuan with joy, he was worthy of being the head of the family.
Li Zhao looked over and said in surprise: "Them? Why don't I remember that they are the Du family?"
Du Hongyuan's face darkened and he said: "But they are indeed the Du family, and they are all recorded in the ancestral hall!"
As soon as these words came out, You Wangwei and the villagers' expressions became even more ugly.
If the gangsters are all pretending to be members of aristocratic families, then these people are just beasts.
It's not enough for them to exploit them in the open, but they also want to pretend to be gangsters and oppress everyone again?
Anger burned in the hearts of Youwang Wei and the villagers.
Li Zhao waved his hand and signaled to the Youwang Guards to take over the money, and then he said slowly to Du Hongyuan: "Master Du, you can't say this nonsense, you need to provide evidence!"
Du Hongyuan said with a serious expression: "These people are indeed members of my Du family. I guarantee this as the head of the Du family."
No matter what, the people of Sea Dragon King cannot be left alone, otherwise the impact will be too bad.
The rest of the gangsters may be watching. Once they abandon this group of people, the relationship between everyone will collapse. This is one of the fundamentals for their family to gain a foothold here.
Li Zhao stared at Du Hongyuan with squinted eyes, and his voice became gloomy: "I will ask you one last time, are they gangsters or the Du family? Please think clearly before answering my words!"
"They are the Du family!" Du Hongyuan answered firmly.
This made Hai Long's three heads and countless members look moved.
Sure enough, just follow the family leader.
The head of the family is benevolent and righteous!
They silently swore in their hearts that as long as they got out of trouble this time, they would definitely kill these people.
Just after the head of the Du family said this with great confidence, Li Zhao immediately turned his face and said: "Youwang Wei!"
This loud shout not only startled Du Hongyuan and others, but also made everyone in Youwangwei stunned.
What's going on?
"Get it for me!"
