Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 126 This is a good deal
When Xu Feng said this, his face looked extremely bad. The soldiers behind him even had constellations on their faces. Their eyes were as big as copper bells, and they wished they could eat Tang Zheng and his men on the spot.
Tang Xiaotang and the others were not willing to be outdone. They increased the speed of the flow of star power. The stars behind them became brighter. The entire entrance of the stone residence was filled with a tense atmosphere and an accidental shooting could occur at any time.
At this time, Tang Zheng suddenly laughed again: "Commander Xu, why are you all so serious? You said you must want Ning Mo, it's not that I can't give it to you, but... I still need him to help me solve some problems. After that, I can send him to the City Guard."
Hearing this, Xu Feng's expression immediately eased up a lot. He thought that Tang Zheng was intimidated by the reputation and strength of the City Guard House and was the first to give in. He forced a smile and said, "Nephew Tang, why didn't you tell me earlier? As long as you can hand him over to the City Guard House for disposal, I can help you solve some problems first. It's just a matter of a word. Why don't you almost cause misunderstandings among everyone? Nephew Tang, why don't you tell me what you want Ning Mo to do for you? If he dares not to do it, I will tear his skin off on the spot!"
Tang Zheng did not directly answer Xu Feng's question, but suddenly asked: "Commander Xu, with your status and position, you must have servants at home, right? According to the market price in Feishi City, how much do you usually pay them per month?"
Xu Feng didn't know that Tang Zheng had just been talking about Ning Mo, but suddenly jumped to the topic of the monthly wages for the servants. He was stunned for a moment and replied, "They are just servants, why should we ask for monthly wages? It would be good enough to give them a month's worth of food. However, my wife has always been kind, so she will still give them a copper coin as monthly wages."
Tang Zheng nodded: "One hundred copper coins are equal to one first-class silver coin, and one hundred first-class silver coin is equal to one purple gold coin, so one thousand purple gold coin should be equal to ten million copper coins."
"If I receive two copper coins a month, I will have to pay off a debt of ten million copper coins in about 416,666 years... Oh, it's not divisible. Never mind. I'm very generous and will just forgo the decimal point. I'll just say it's 416,666 years."
"Well, Commander Xu, you see, the matter is actually very simple. This Ning Mo, his two assassinations probably caused me to lose about one thousand purple gold coins. It's only natural to pay back debts, right? What I want him to do is quite simple, that is, to repay my debt according to his current salary. Based on the data you just provided, I have calculated that after 416,666 years, I will personally send him to the City Guard House and let you arrest him!"
When Xu Feng heard Tang Zheng's calculation, a long string of numbers, he couldn't figure it out for a moment: "Wait, you just said...how many years?"
Tang Zheng repeated it again: "Four hundred and sixteen thousand six hundred and sixteen years... But I think this is a bit too long. How about I raise his salary a bit, four copper coins a month, so that it will only take two hundred and eighty thousand three hundred and thirty-three years to pay off the debt."
Xu Feng finally understood this time. How could Tang Zheng be so submissive? He was just teasing them. He shouted angrily, "Tang Zheng! Don't go too far!"
Tang Zheng spread his hands and said innocently: "Commander Xu, this is where you are wrong. How could I be too much? It's only over 200,000 years. If I can cultivate to 9-star, Ning Mo can cultivate to 9-star, and you can cultivate to 9-star, then this deal still has a good chance of being reached. And think about it, I have taken in a 4-star warrior, and then I will give you a 9-star warrior. This deal is quite cost-effective !"
Hearing Tang Zheng's confident remarks and the seemingly impeccable algorithm, the soldiers behind Xu Feng could not help but look at each other in dismay, and even the angry expressions they had been maintaining could no longer be maintained.
If you don't want to cooperate, then don't cooperate. But they still want you to play a trick on them. Playing tricks on you is one thing, but after playing tricks on you, not only do they want you to admit that you took advantage of them. Even the City Guards wouldn't do such a thing!
I've seen mean people, but I've never seen someone as mean as this!
The city guards led by Xu Feng were extremely angry. The faces of the soldiers were trembling. They waved their weapons and wanted to rush up and kick Tang Zheng hard in the face.
Xu Feng was able to keep some composure. He suddenly shouted and rebuked the soldiers behind him for their unusual movements. He did not waste any more words with Tang Zheng. He sneered twice and said coldly, "Tang Zheng, you have guts! Since you are determined to go against our City Guard, let's just wait and see! Let's go!"
After saying that, Xu Feng waved his hand and hurried away with a few of his men.
Tang Zheng looked at their backs and corrected them seriously from a distance: "Commander Xu, I'm sorry, donkeys are for servants to ride, I usually ride horses."
Xu Feng, who was already full of anger and walking very fast, stumbled when he heard the mockery in Tang Zheng's words. As a top three-star warrior, he almost fell to the ground.
"Damn it, it's so cheap, this Tang Zheng is so cheap! Boss, let's find some time to kill him!" A sergeant cursed viciously as he walked.
"Yes, boss. It has always been our City Guard that bullies others. No one dares to bully our City Guard. It is a great shame. Today is a great shame!" Another soldier echoed.
This time, Xu Feng did not criticize these soldiers for not keeping their eyes open when they went out. Tang Zheng had a good background, but even he could not swallow the tone he received today.
Xu Feng had a cold face and didn't say anything until he was about to reach the City Guard House. He then said gloomily, "Tang Zheng is very powerful and has a strong background. It would be too risky for us to attack him directly. But he has embarrassed our City Guard House so much today. We can't just let this go. From today on, you must check all the information related to Tang Zheng. Find out everything about him. It would be best if you could even find out the color of his underwear every day and report to me. I don't believe he is a perfect egg!"
Xu Feng's two trusted soldiers responded loudly. Their eyes began to turn, and they were thinking about how to kill Tang Zheng to relieve their hatred.
After being talked about behind his back by Xu Feng and others for a long time, Tang Zheng, who was still living in Shizuo, sneezed loudly several times.
"Master, the people from the City Guard have always been arrogant and domineering. Will they come to take revenge on me if I offend them today?" Tang Xiaotang said worriedly.
Tang Zheng shrugged, "That's for sure. It's just that, for people like them, if you are not more arrogant than them, they will bully you right on the spot. You won't even have time to retaliate afterwards. You will be retaliated on the spot. It doesn't matter . They are just a bunch of clowns. Don't worry about them. Let's solve the mystery of Ning Mo's sister's disappearance first. I can't wait to solve the mystery!"
