Bai Xiaonan said calmly: "Give me money!"
As soon as they heard that money was going to be given, all the heads of the family became silent.
Bai Xiaonan had already anticipated everyone's reaction.
She wasn't in a hurry either. He just said calmly: "Two days ago, I went to Datong and met with General Yu."
"General Yu told me personally that in order to quell the anger of the Wala people, two conditions must be met! First, give enough money! Second, find someone to take the blame! In other words, someone must lose their head this time!"
"As for whether the head of the same person as Wu Jing is enough, it depends on whether the gold and silver in the scale is weighed down!"
Many heads looked at each other.
Everyone could see the look of hesitation on each other's faces.
The last leader hesitated and said: "Master Bai means... General Yu Xiaojun asked for this money personally?"
Bai Xiaonan nodded: "That's right! You don't have to pay. I said at the beginning that the door of the Development Committee has always been open to everyone. You can come and go freely. If you don't want to pay this money, I will refund the membership fee to him. He can leave now."
"As soon as General Yu's army arrives, this is not the life and death of my 'Ying and Development Committee' members, and it has nothing to do with us."
Bai Xiaonan's words were full of threats, and he was also suspected of taking advantage of the situation.
But no one present dared to accuse Bai Xiaonan.
At this time, everyone is weighing whether it is money or life!
However, a few heads of the family began to settle an account: they would move the entire village with their families and hide out for three to five months. Which one is more cost-effective, this kind of consumption or direct payment?
However... I still don't know how much I have to pay, so I muttered for a long time, but I couldn't come to a conclusion about the comparison.
So the head of the house asked, "Head Bai, please tell me how much our family will have to pay."
"One thousand taels!" Bai Xiaonan looked at everyone calmly, "One family!"
One thousand taels?
Everyone began to settle accounts silently again.
The last time I attended the gathering at Yunding Village, Zhao Qing's family gave me a benefit of 500 taels. Later, to pay the dues of the Development Committee, the family paid one hundred taels.
However, when Yunding Village was destroyed, everyone shared a lot of money, with an average of one thousand taels per family.
After all, this is equivalent to saying that this period of time was wasted.
But...it's a good thing if you can save your life!
Thinking of not having to touch their capital, all the leaders present felt much more balanced.
So someone expressed his position on the spot: "We from Heifeng Village are willing to pay this money!"
“We in Beacon Hill are also willing to help!”
"I'm going out too, I represent the Thunder King Village!"
When one person spoke, others naturally responded.
Soon, everyone present agreed to pay the money.
This time, the meeting of the "Emergency Development Committee" members can be regarded as a successful conclusion.
None of the big bosses brought any money. They promised that after returning, they would send the money as soon as possible.
Just as the big bosses were getting ready to go down the mountain, Bai Xiaonan suddenly said: "The big bosses of Bailianzhai, Jiaoding Mountain, and Bijia Mountain, please go slowly and lend me your heads!"
"What?"
As soon as Bai Xiaonan said these words, the heads of several named names immediately became furious.
They drew their swords and prepared to fight out of the mountain.
The people in Baishi Village nearby took out their composite crossbows and aimed them at several leaders.
Looking at the cold crossbow arrows, everyone was too frightened to say a word.
Bai Xiaonan suddenly said: "Don't get me wrong, I'm talking about the heads of the big bosses who died before you!"
"Ah? You mean them?"
The few people who had been preparing to fight suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. When they talked again, they felt cold sweat on their backs.
"You have to come up with a few weighty heads before you can compete, right?" Bai Xiaonan said.
So those people nodded and said, "No problem. Send their heads and silver coins later."
Li Yong, the second head of Yunying Village, also went down the mountain with everyone. But not long after he separated from everyone halfway, a person stopped him.
"Master Reiji, are you leaving in such a hurry? Don't you have anything to say to us?"
Looking at the person coming, Li Yong became nervous instantly: "It turns out to be Master Six! What? Master Six stopped me, but do you have something to say?"
Liuzi smiled and didn't talk nonsense: "That's right! I think you know very well why everyone caused this unreasonable disaster this time. Our head has already said that it is enough for others to pay one thousand taels, but you Yunying Village cannot. !”
"What's the meaning?"
"The meaning is very simple. When you go back, just bring this letter to your boss!"
Liuzi threw down a letter and turned to leave.
…
Huo Feng opened the letter Li Yong brought back.
The content of the letter was very straightforward, clearly telling Huo Feng that Baishizhai already knew who was responsible for this disaster.
Bai Xiaonan asked Huo Feng to hand over all the things he robbed from the Wala people mission this time!
Moreover, the Wala people will be compensated an additional 20,000 taels of silver!
Otherwise, in a few days, when General Yu's troops arrive, they will conquer Yunying Village first.
Huo Feng tore the letter into pieces.
But Qi returned to Qi, and Huo Feng also knew that now was not the time to be willful.
After thinking for a long time, Huo Feng wrote a letter to his brother-in-law Cao Jian.
In the letter, he asked very vaguely about General Yu Xiao, and then put an IOU worth 20,000 taels in the envelope.
Cao Jian looked at the 20,000 taels of IOU, and his whole body became numb.
He put this IOU together with the 10,000 tael IOU that Huo Feng had opened before.
After hesitating for a long time, Cao Jian sighed and silently opened the box where he kept his private money.
…
In the next two days, all the heads of the family sent people to deliver the thousand taels of silver notes.
On the other hand, there was no movement in Yunying Village.
Don't know what they are waiting for.
Xie Yu was not in a hurry. No one was sent to urge him.
He just took the banknotes and went down the mountain with Bai Xiaonan.
Xie Yu took Bai Xiaonan and temporarily stayed at the Huaxuan Club.
Two days later, the new Datong garrison general Yu Xiao, with 3,000 Datong defenders, set out from Datong Mansion and arrived at Ta County in Yingzhou.
Cao Jian also left Yingzhou City and met up with General Yu Xiao in Ta County.
The two got together and discussed it all afternoon.
Then General Yu Xiao led 300 Datong rear guards and stepped directly into the private residence of Wu Jingtong, the county magistrate.
The area outside the private house is cordoned off within 500 steps and no one is allowed to approach it.
Some curious people stood on the roof and looked in the direction of Wu Jingtong's private residence.
But apart from the occasional scream, they could see nothing.
Half an hour later, General Yu Xiao walked out of Wu Jingtong's private residence.
He was covered in blood and looked grim.
Then boxes of gold and silver were moved out of Wu Jingtong's private residence by the Datong Guards!
Xie Yu held Bai Xiaonan in his arms and stood at the highest point of Huaxuan Club, looking in the direction of Wu Jingtong's private residence.
When he saw General Yu standing at the door of Wu Jingtong's private residence, Xie Yu smiled and said to Bai Xiaonan, "You're angry!"
