Chapter 62: The Strong Dragon Overwhelms the Tiger
"Hehe." Tang Wen just smiled without answering, which made Gu Hanyan so angry that she glared at him fiercely and left.
The Shuangjianmen’s headquarters is located thirty miles outside the outskirts of Yuling County. The place is called Hekou Town. The town has a population of seven or eight thousand, which is considered a large town.
A 200-meter-wide river runs through the center of the town, and Shuangjianmen is built on the river bank like a village.
The next morning, Tang Wen and his gang arrived at the Shuangjianmen base.
Luo Yiwu was not a big and strong man, but rather looked like a scholar, which surprised Tang Wen.
"I have heard about your matter. I can help you settle it." Tang Wen said directly.
"You guys are so arrogant just because you have money. What else can I say? It's all my fault that Luo Yiwu has no ability. Give me the silver and these two swords will be yours." Luo Yiwu said with a sad face.
"Who said I'm going to give you money?" Tang Wen said with a stern face.
"Do you dare to rob for free?" Luo Yiwu raised his eyebrows, and immediately, the scholar turned into a killer.
Tang Wen glanced at his head and was immediately overjoyed.
Because, the aura above Luo Yiwu's head was now swollen and thick, full of murderous intent, almost the same as Li Liao's.
This shows that Luo Yiwu's skills are comparable to Li Liao's, and he is definitely a sixth-grade expert.
"I said I would help you settle this matter, why do you need money?" Tang Wen said.
“As long as you can handle it, Shuangjianmen will be yours.” Luo Yi said.
"Ziyun, show the thing to Lord Luo." Tang Wen said, and Ge Ziyun showed Gu Qi's confession.
"This old dog!" After reading the confession, Luo Yiwu gritted his teeth and cursed in anger.
"Haha, there's no need to scold him now. This time he not only accompanied his wife but also lost his soldiers." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"But we also suffered heavy losses." Qiu Kui, the great elder of the Shuangjian Sect, said angrily.
"Yes! In order to pay the compensation, the master sold off his family property. The old dog pushed too hard, so the property that was originally worth 800,000 taels was sold for only 350,000 taels." The eldest disciple Duan Gao cursed angrily.
"The old dog has to compensate us for all these." Luo Yiwu's eldest son Luo Chaosheng said through gritting his teeth.
"From now on, you are all members of my Tang family. I, Tang Wen, will get everything back for you." Tang Wen said.
"Tang family? Lord Tang, what do you mean by this?" Luo Yiwu's face turned stern when he heard it.
"My Lord has settled the Gu family's affairs for you. You are a member of the Tang family. Don't you want to deny it?" Li Liao asked.
"Sir, I, Luo Yiwu, have said that the Shuangjianmen is yours. However, we can submit to you, but we will not sell ourselves to you," said Luo Yiwu.
“Haha, we took so much effort and risked our lives to bring Gu Qi here to help you solve the problem.
If you don't sell your bodies, what should I, Tang Wen, be busy with?
You owe the Gu family five hundred thousand taels, and you still want justice.
Logically, we should ask the Gu family to return your original 500,000 taels to you, which adds up to more than one million taels.
The Shuangjian Sect has only more than 200 disciples. This one million taels of silver was borne by you all. My Tang family paid a high price of 5,000 taels of silver for each of them.
You are much more expensive than us if we buy slaves directly, not to mention that we have sought justice for you.
Let everyone in your Shuangjian Sect be able to stand up straight and be a human being, instead of being laughed at by the people of Yuling County.
If you don't become a member of my Tang family, why would I, Tang Wenping, work so hard to help you?" Tang Wen sneered.
"Master Luo, even though it means selling one's body, there is nothing wrong with it.
The lord is chivalrous and treats his servants like family.
To be honest, I was unwilling to do so.
However, after seeing Koh Samui, I, Li Liao, voluntarily sold myself to the Tang family. "Li Liao said.
"You seem to be very powerful. Tell me, who are you and what's so powerful about you?" Qiu Kui raised his eyes and snorted through his nose.
"Although I, Li Liao, am indeed not that good, but you are still not good enough in front of me." Li Liao was angry and looked at Qiu Kui with contempt.
"Someone, bring a knife. I want to fight Li Liao." Qiu Kui was furious.
"Is it necessary?" Li Liao sneered and swung his palm. With a crisp click, a teacup two meters away was smashed into pieces by him.
Qiu Kui was stunned for a moment, and his face turned very ugly.
This is nothing, he is a sixth-grade outer Gang realm expert.
"I didn't expect Brother Li to have such high skills. I'm sorry to be rude to you, Luo Yiwu. However, I don't understand why you are willing to sell yourself to the Tang family." Luo Yiwu said with a fist.
“I was originally the garrison commander of Yuling County, but was framed and spent half a year in jail.
After I was dismissed from my post and went to Yanling, someone recommended me to the Lord.
At first I was reluctant, but later I agreed.
Until now, I not only have no regrets, but I am very lucky to have met you, sir." Li Liao said.
Suddenly, Qiu Kui and others were shocked.
After all, the dignified garrison commander actually sold himself, and his status was much nobler than theirs.
“Even the kidnapping of Gu Qi, I was against it at first. After all, the Gu family is quite powerful. You know this better than I do.
It was the Sir who made the final decision and arranged for us to take down Gucci.
Moreover, during the interrogation, the lord used appropriate strategies and actually got out the real reason why Gucci transported the Jade Guanyin.
I, Li, admire you deeply for this." Li Liao said again.
"If you are unwilling to sell yourself, I, Tang Wen, will immediately withdraw from the matter between you and the Gu family. I, Tang Wen, am blind to call the Gu family my enemy for no reason." Tang Wen said.
Suddenly, Luo Yiwu and his group fell silent.
"If you are willing to sell your bodies, and wait for the other 500,000 taels to be recovered, I, Tang Wen, will not take a penny and will return it all to you. In addition, I will help you get justice and ask the Gu family to cover you with red ribbons and apologize to you." Tang Wen said.
"My Lord has been very kind to me, Luo Yiwu. I am not blind or deaf, and I am not someone who cannot tell the difference between kindness and gratitude.
I have decided that the entire Luo family, including my direct disciples, a total of 48 people, will be sold to the Tang family.
As for the other disciples of the Shuangjian Sect, let them make their own decision.
There is no Shuangjianmen in this world anymore, Shuangjianmen, just stop here." Luo Yiwu said.
"Master, I will listen to you." The eldest disciple Duan Gao replied immediately.
"We'll do whatever our master says." The second disciple Feng Meihua nodded.
"Ah... forget it. The Shuangjian Sect is gone, so why bother about it. Old Master Luo has been very kind to me, Qiu Kui, and I, Qiu Kui, along with my disciples and family, have sold ourselves to the Tang family." Qiu Kui waved his hand.
Both of the two leaders expressed their opinions, and naturally, after the disciples and followers gathered together, most of them followed suit.
But there were also thirty or forty people who chose to take the ten taels of silver and go their separate ways.
"Ding Dong! You have accumulated 500 people, and the land area has increased by 1,000 acres. As long as you increase another 2,000 acres, the 'Landlord Space' can open the 10th time and space travel. Work hard..."
Sure enough, the system responded.
Suddenly, more than 500 auras swarmed in. Tang Wen found a room and used the Fish Dragon Nine Transformation Technique to absorb and refine it crazily...
Half an hour later, I heard a few crackling sounds from my body, and immediately, I felt very comfortable.
Because the quality of popularity absorbed this time is higher than that of Li Liao last time.
All the disciples of Shuangjian Sect are proficient in martial arts, and there are quite a few experts among them.
Tang Wen glanced at the large screen in the space, and the data was updated again:
Popularity Index: 2430
Land area: 2413 hectares.
Wealth Index: 253,000 taels of gold.
Martial arts level: seventh level perfection.
Ceremonial load: 1,400 tons.
Travel time: seventy days.
His skills increased by two levels again, entering the seventh level of perfection. The increase in land area was probably because there were still 1,000 acres of land left at the Shuangjianmen headquarters, which was also counted on Tang Wen.
After a simple integration, Tang Wen brought the disciples of Shuangjianmen to ask Gu Qi for justice.
"Master Gu, I will give you two options. The first option is to take back the 500,000 taels that Shuangjianmen gave you. In addition, you must compensate Shuangjianmen with 300,000 taels.
Because, in order to pay off their debts, they sold their entire property, which was originally worth 800,000 taels, at a 50% discount, and all of this was caused by you.
I won't give you a 50% discount, you just need to pay an additional 300,000 taels.
Moreover, Master Luo must be covered in red and decorated with ribbons and fireworks must be set off before his door.
Even if this matter is settled, to give you face, we will not announce your trap to the public.
Another option is that if you don't want to pay back the money, we'll see you in court." Tang Wen said.
"But the Jade Guanyin was lost because of the Shuangjian Sect's failure to protect it. It was worth one million taels," said Gu Qi.
"You still have the nerve to say that! I, Luo Yiwu, wish I could chop you to death with one blow." Luo Yiwu pointed at him and cursed.
"Yes! If you hadn't tipped us off, would we have lost the dart? Gu Qi, you old dog, you have caused us so much trouble that we have even destroyed the Shuangjian Sect." Qiu Kui roared.
"You can go to court, but I only agree not to take the remaining 500,000 taels. Anything else is out of the question," said Gu Qi.
