The two bandits followed the servant and walked over. Nie Chen said to Da Zhuang again,
"Let ten brothers disperse around the forest. When the other party's people arrive, they will obey my instructions."
Da Zhuang nodded and immediately obeyed.
Weng Qiuchan was a little surprised when he saw this scene.
"Boy, I can't see how decisive and ruthless you are for this playboy."
Liu Chong's ears were bleeding and he fell to the ground, groaning. If the wound was not bandaged, he would probably bleed to death in a few hours.
After all, the wound was quite big.
Nie Chen didn't even look at him, and stared straight out of the forest.
After a while, Da Zhuang couldn't sit still anymore, walked to Nie Chen, frowned and said,
"Have I heard that the head of the Liu family is a tough guy who doesn't get his money back? Will he send the money over?"
Nie Chen sneered and said,
"Then have you ever heard that the head of the Liu family loves his only son very much?"
He withdrew his gaze, looked at Liu Chong lying on the ground and said,
"The Liu family's children, just the two siblings, the daughter definitely has no inheritance rights, they are all counting on this one son.
It is said that once when he was on a business trip, he was chased by bandits and fell off his horse, breaking his legs and making him unable to have any more children.
Therefore, he dotes on Liu Chong in every possible way and allows Liu Chong to indulge in his dandy ways. "
"Well, indeed, he will definitely not be willing to let this son die."
"It's not just because of favor, the Liu family is a big family, and there are other uncles and relatives.
Liu Chong is alive and well, and everyone will inherit the Liu family's wealth.
But if Liu Chong dies, will the uncles and brothers of the Liu family be ready to divide the Liu family's property?
Why does everyone want a son? If you have no children, you will be bullied anywhere.
Therefore, whether it was for his son or to protect his family property, the Liu family had to send money to redeem people. "
"Then what if the head of the Liu family reports to the official, or secretly brings someone here?"
"That's why I cut off his ear. Throwing this ear away will make the Liu family know that we are ruthless and will definitely do what we say.
When they saw the ears, they were already panicking. When they were at a loss, they could only take the safest way, which was to be obedient.
Only by increasing their fear will they be led by us.
Don't worry, the money will have to be delivered within an hour. He doesn't want to bear the loss of any more parts in his son's body. "
Da Zhuang nodded and said nothing more.
Sure enough, after more than half an hour, the servant who left before came back.
He came back in a carriage.
"Hush!"
The servant got off the car twenty meters away from Nie Chen and said,
"I have brought the money. The master said, five thousand taels of silver, every cent will be given to you, but you have to ensure the safety of the young master. I have to bring the young master back safely."
Nie Chen sneered and said,
"Bring me the money."
"That won't work. I gave you the money, but what if you kill the young master again?
In this way, you send someone to bring the young master over, and I will take the money. After the young master mounts the horse, I will give the money to you.
As for me, you can kill or cut me into pieces as you please. "
"What you said makes sense and is fair."
Nie Chen nodded, then grabbed Liu Chong, took out a dagger, and chopped off the other man's ear with one blow.
"don't want!"
The servant was horrified.
He knew that the master of the family was furious, and the order given to him was to bring the young master back safely. If there was anything missing from his body, he would be killed. If the young master died, his whole family would die.
"I say it again, bring the money!"
Nie Chen's voice was cold and solemn.
The servant gritted his teeth and said in a ferocious voice,
"How can you guarantee that you won't kill the young master!"
Nie Chen threw Liu Chong to the ground, raised his dagger, and chopped off two of Liu Chong's fingers.
Liu Chong whined in pain and almost fainted.
Even those bandits who killed without batting an eye were frightened by the sight of the body organs being chopped off one by one.
If you want them to kill someone, any of them would dare to do it with a single slash with their eyes closed.
But the eldest young master of the Nie family didn't kill anyone, he just chopped off people's belongings one by one.
I thought he was a living Bodhisattva who had no power to restrain a chicken. Who would have thought that he was a living King of Hell who could kill people without frowning.
At this moment, the bandits felt a little more awe and fear towards Nie Chen.
Especially Weng Qiuchan, the way she looked at Nie Chen changed a lot, and all the contempt in her eyes disappeared.
Nie Chen's cold voice came again,
"You can chat with me slowly, and I'll cut one off. I'm also very curious. The parts on your young master's body are enough for you to chat for a while."
Seeing the young master who was almost dying of pain, the servant gritted his teeth and had no choice but to take a gamble.
The servant gritted his teeth and said,
"Then ask someone to come over and take it, check it out, and if there are no mistakes, release them quickly."
Nie Chen nodded, and Da Zhuang immediately walked over with someone. He first opened the curtain with a knife and made sure there was no one in the carriage, then jumped into the carriage, opened the boxes inside, and counted them piece by piece.
One silver ingot is ten taels, a full five hundred yuan.
In this war-torn world, the credibility of the imperial court has collapsed, and banknotes are worse than wipes. Silver and gold are the hard currencies.
Da Zhuang jumped out of the car and nodded to Nie Chen, indicating that it was okay.
"Okay, now that the matter is done, you can go back with the money, leave me a few pieces of silver, and let's say goodbye."
After Nie Chen finished speaking, he went to the carriage to get the money.
However, Da Zhuang said loudly and slowly,
"Brother Nie Chen, wait a minute, that's not what we said before."
"What? Are you Nie Chen?"
Liu Chong and the two servants looked at him in shock.
With his identity exposed like this, Nie Chen turned pale, threw the bamboo hat off his head, and asked coldly,
"What do you mean?"
Da Zhuang smiled slightly, waved his hand, and the bandits behind him immediately killed the two servants.
Weng Qiuchan held the knife and said nothing, watching the scene with cold eyes.
"Brother Nie is brave and resourceful, so it would be a pity to leave like this. The boss said that if you are to be the second boss, please ask brother Nie to come back to the mountain with us."
Da Zhuang pointed at Liu Chong on the ground and said,
"Oh, by the way, this person already knows Brother Nie's name. Whether he lives or dies is entirely up to Brother Nie.
If you want to leave, we won't stop you. "
The current change was something Nie Chen didn't expect.
The other party's attitude was very obvious. He told his name, killed two servants, and cut off his escape route. If he dared to leave, these people would let Liu Chong go, and then claim that he, Nie Chen, was the one who killed him. When the time comes, he will be wanted across the country, and the dream of a rich man will be over.
The other party handed Liu Chong over to him, seemingly giving him a choice, but in fact he had no choice at all. He had no choice but to kill Liu Chong, the insider, and follow them up the mountain.
To kill Liu Chong is to surrender one's name. Only when someone's life is on his hands is he one of his own.
With no place to stay, he had no choice but to go up the mountain and become a bandit.
He understood the truth, but this feeling of being forced into danger was really uncomfortable.
Nie Chen had no choice and cut Liu Chong's neck with a knife, and blood sprayed all over the floor.
He comforted himself in his heart, just think of it as revenge for the original owner.
Seeing him kill someone so simply, Weng Qiuchan, who had been watching with cold eyes, was surprised.
Although his methods were decisive and straightforward, this was his first time killing someone, so it was still difficult for him to adapt.
"Brother Nie is a good man, please do it."
Da Zhuang smiled slightly and led the way.
They circled around, climbed over a mountain, and saw Qingfeng Mountain next door.
He didn't want to take the carriage, just wanted to see the terrain here.
As Nie Chen was walking, he suddenly kicked a bumpy stone, almost tripping him. He couldn't help but look down, and then immediately picked up the black and blue stone.
Nie Chen recognized this bumpy stone at a glance. It was iron ore.
He kept a careful eye and kept looking around his feet as he walked forward.
