But unexpectedly, Peng Cai and his followers laughed heartily when they looked at Yuan Yao, who was holding a seal and ribbon and saying "I am a captain".
Peng Cai sneered nonchalantly: "Captain Yuzhang?"
"Although I don't know much about the rank of you county magistrates and governors, I remember that the biggest official in Yuzhang County seems to be the magistrate, right?"
"You, Captain of Yuzhang, are only the second and third eldest son at most. Don't pull a tiger's skin to make a banner in front of me!"
"A few months ago, a prefect named Zhuge came to visit me and paid me a lot of money for the bridge toll!"
"He is the head of a county, so he has to pay the bridge toll for me, Mr. Peng, so why can't you, the second-in-command, not pay for it?"
"I will tell you today, I drove this road and built this bridge!"
"If you want to live from now on, even if the king of heaven comes, you have to pay for it!"
Peng Cai's words put Yuan Yao in trouble.
Yuan Yao and Huang Yi couldn't help but look at each other.
No wonder these Peng clan members dared to throw Huang Yi directly into the river!
These people dared to collect tolls from the governor of Yuzhang, so how could they be afraid of the generals under the captain of Yuzhang?
Yuan Yao took back the seal ribbon, already understanding in his heart that these Peng clan members have been kings for a long time, and they no longer know what imperial power is and what fear is.
It’s no wonder that after Sun Wu unified the south of the Yangtze River, the four most troublesome groups internally were the Wuxi Man, the Southeast Shanyue, the Yuzhang clan, and the Jiaozhou natives.
Among the Yuzhang clans, the Peng clan in particular launched the largest and most frequent mass riots!
"But now, you, Captain Yuan, have killed and injured hundreds of members of my Peng family. This debt cannot be settled with money and food!"
Peng Cai said fiercely.
Yuan Yao showed his signature disdainful expression: "Then how are you going to settle this account?"
Yuan Yao's pretty face and expression of someone who needs a beating make him look like a weakling who insists on having a bad mouth with the school bully.
Peng Cai looked at Yuan Yao's disdainful expression, and his heart suddenly broke into pieces.
"I want to pay this debt with blood!"
"All generals whose hands are stained with the blood of our Peng clan, no matter who they are, must be handed over to me. I will send Mr. Yuan back to Haihun County."
"Otherwise, don't blame me, Peng Cai, for being ruthless!"
Peng Cai deliberately put forward a condition that Yuan Yao could not accept.
"Since ancient times, people have to kill to pay for life, and debts to pay for money!"
"What you said makes sense, I can agree!"
Yuan Yao nodded directly.
ah?
Did I hear that correctly?
Peng Cai didn't react, he just thought he heard it wrong!
"However, I also want to pay with blood! Whoever hurts the life of my brother Paoze, don't blame me for being rude!"
Yuan Yao changed the subject again.
Peng Cai immediately thought of the injured man who was wrapped in a net between two horses and sent away.
"How will you treat Brother Paoze if he hurts you?"
"Whoever hurts my life will destroy the nine tribes?"
Yuan Yao's words were as cold as coming from hell.
Hearing this, Peng Cai shuddered unconsciously.
But Peng Cai quickly reacted, killing the nine tribes?
There are tens of thousands of people in my Peng clan, but there is no one who is not related by relatives.
When you say you're killing the nine tribes, don't you mean to kill us all?
"Captain Yuan, you have such a loud tone!"
Peng Cai already had a new idea in mind, so he responded to Yuan Yao's words, after capturing him alive today, he must let his thin skin and tender flesh suffer.
And I heard that Yuan Yao's biological father, Yuan Shu, made countless enemies in the Central Plains, and he seemed to have an older brother Yuan Shao who was not easy to deal with.
Why don't you contact these princes first and wait for a price to sell them?
"I speak loudly and have confidence!"
Yuan Yao looked at Peng Cai coldly, and suddenly changed the subject again.
"I don't know how long it will take for your Peng family's soldiers to outflank you!"
"I really have no interest in being with you, a country bumpkin who has no confidence but likes to talk nonsense!"
After saying this, Yuan Yao turned around and walked to the shore without looking back.
Peng Cai was shocked when he heard this and froze on the spot.
Huang Yi and his two guards were still facing Peng Cai and others, keeping their hands on the hilts of their swords at their waists, and stepped back warily.
The burly man next to Peng Cai reacted quickly and asked: "Brother, do you want me to take action now?"
Peng Cai's plan was revealed in one word. At this moment, his heart was full of nervousness and doubt. He didn't wake up until the big man asked him twice in a row.
But looking at Yuan Yao and others who had already walked more than ten steps away, Peng Cai, who had always struck fiercely and decisively, became hesitant this time.
"Go back to the boat first! I don't believe he can make any waves!"
Huang Yi, who had now retreated to a safe distance, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let me tell you, don't ask me to be your bodyguard next time!"
"Not to mention anything else, there's that eight-foot-tall man with arms that are half as long as mine. I'm afraid I can't even get close before he cuts him in half!"
Yuan Yao also breathed a sigh of relief:
"It's okay if I don't look for you. I'll wait and see when you call Huang Zhong over, and I'll let you stay comfortably behind!"
Huang Yi grimaced: "After I came out of Shouchun, I sent more than a dozen people to Jingzhou to find him and deliver a message to him, but I couldn't contact anyone. What can I do?"
Yuan Yao rolled his eyes at him: "If you can't find it, keep sending people to look for it. When you find it, you won't have to lead the scouts in the front army!"
Huang Yi wanted to cry but had no tears.
Huang Yi: "But having said that, at first I really thought you were an idiot, that's why you insisted on making an appointment with Peng Cai!"
"So you are pretending to be a suspect!"
Yuan Yao turned his head and glanced at Huang Yi, suddenly feeling that Huang Yi was often considered a smart person.
"I've already told you that I'm just taking advantage of the situation, but you still don't believe it!"
"But just now it can only be regarded as planting suspicion in him."
"Whether this trick works or not depends on how long we can hold on!"
