Volume 3 Buddha's Enemy Chapter 128 Even Amaterasu can’t save you!
“Please, please wait a moment!”
At this moment, a male voice with a hint of pleading sounded from the side of Ma Lian.
Horse Face looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw a middle-aged man with an injured leg dragging his injured foot, pushing through the crowd and walking towards Ma Lian.
He rubbed his hands together and gave Horse Face an ingratiating smile.
This middle-aged man was Yoshiro.
"My Lord, my Lord!"
Jilang called out "Sir" several times.
“We really don’t have any money left!”
"If the monthly payment is increased, we will starve to death!"
"Please, have mercy ! Please, have mercy on me!"
Jilang bent his waist very low, and his appearance was extremely humble.
After Jilang took the lead, the rest of the villagers also cast hopeful glances at Ma Lian and others, eager to hear words like "Okay, then I won't increase your money" from Ma Lian's mouth.
However, Horse Face simply cast a cold look at Jilang in front of him.
Then he kicked Yoshiro in the stomach, knocking him to the ground.
When Jilang was rolling on the ground, holding his stomach and groaning in pain, two women, one old and one young, immediately rushed out from the villagers surrounding them, screaming and helped Jilang up.
The two women, one old and one young, were Yoshiro's wife and daughter.
"Did you guys make a mistake?" Ma Lian said sullenly, "I'm not here to discuss with you, I'm here to give you orders."
Horse Face moved his gaze and looked at the villagers surrounding him.
"Everyone will have to pay more every month - this is an order, no room for negotiation."
"I don't care if you have money or not."
"Those who have no money, find a way to get some for me."
"I don't care how you make money."
"Whether you steal or sell your body, you must do whatever it takes to get the money for me."
"Whoever doesn't pay me on time will be shown how powerful our Negishi family is!"
After saying that, Ma Lian fixed his gaze on Ji Lang, who was still holding his stomach and making low groans.
"You kid, I remember you."
Horseface said to Jilang.
"I remember that you are one of the poorest people in this Sihe Village."
"I think you are the kind of person who definitely can't come up with the money."
"Since you have no money and there is nothing in your house that can be pawned...then sell your daughter."
Ma Lian slightly shifted his gaze and looked at Jilang's daughter who was supporting Jilang.
"Your daughter is young and looks quite good."
"Our 'stores' happen to be in need of young girls right now."
"So - thank me ."
"Let me help you. I'll help you bring your daughter to our 'shop'."
"As long as you let your daughter work in our 'shop', your family will be able to pay the bills."
"Not only will your daughter have a job, but your family will also be able to make some money - the best of both worlds, how wonderful."
After saying that, Ma Lian waved to the four men behind him.
"Take this boy's daughter away!"
As Horse-Faced Master gave the order, the four men behind him grinned and stretched out their big hands to grab Horse-Faced Master's daughter, who was trembling with fear on her face.
"Wait a moment!"
Jilang no longer cared about the pain in his stomach and spoke hurriedly.
"Only my daughter, please let go...ah!"
Before Jilang could finish his words, Ma Lian kicked him in the stomach again with an impatient look on his face.
"You're such an annoying kid."
"I'm helping you."
"As long as you let your daughter sell it, your whole family will be safe - what a good deal."
Although Yoshiro's daughter struggled desperately, as an ordinary farm girl, how could she be a match for four men in terms of strength.
Four men, eight big hands firmly controlled Jilang's daughter, dragging her away from Jilang little by little.
Yoshiro's wife screamed and rushed over, trying to get her daughter back.
However, she couldn't even get close to them, and was knocked to the ground by one of the four thugs with a punch.
"No! Let me go! Let me go! Help! Help me! Help me!"
Jilang's daughter screamed and cried while struggling hard.
But no matter how she struggled, she couldn't break free from the four thugs beside her.
No matter how she cried and howled, the villagers surrounding her just watched her with their eyes and noses, not daring to look at Jilang and the others, let alone offer their help.
"Then..." Horse Face stretched out his voice, "We will accept your daughter. Please remember to pay me all the money on time..."
"Hello!"
Before Ma Lian could finish his words, a young male voice suddenly came from behind him...a voice that he seemed to have heard somewhere before.
The sudden sound of the young male voice interrupted him directly.
Ma Lian was slightly stunned and turned around following the sound.
When he turned around, the villagers surrounding him also obediently separated to the left and right to make way for him.
The path made clear by the villagers revealed the figure of the owner of the male voice standing behind the villagers.
Looking at the owner of the male voice, the horse-faced man's pupils shrank slightly uncontrollably.
He recognized this man.
This guy is exactly the big fish he just encountered...
…
…
Ogata placed his left hand on the scabbard of the katana hanging on his left waist, and said to the horse-faced man who was looking at him in surprise with a stern look:
"Give me back my money!"
"If you return my money obediently, I can spare your life!"
"otherwise……"
Before Ogata could finish his words, Horse-Faced sneered and asked in a joking tone:
"What else? It seems that you are a foreigner, right? Do you know who we are? We are the Negishi family..."
"I don't care who you are!"
Ogata shouted as the hostility on his face became even stronger.
"If you don't pay me back, I'll kill you!"
"Don't tell me you are from the Negishi family! Even if you are from the Shogun's army, I will still kill you!"
"Even Amaterasu can't protect you!"
Horse Face didn't take Ogata's warning seriously.
This was the first time he stole so much money at one time, how could he just return the money obediently?
This is true even if the opponent is a samurai with a sword.
Horse Face waved his hand.
"Come on!"
Then, the four men beside him immediately let go of Yoshiro's daughter, took out wakizashi from their arms, and drew their swords.
"Heh." Ma Lian spat on the ground, then took out a wakizashi from his arms and slowly pulled out the blade. "Do you think I'm afraid of you? Don't think you can be so arrogant just because you have a knife!"
"We have knives too!"
"Surround him!"
