Chapter 529 Si Cao Jin Ling
Zhou Chang turned around and shouted to Yuan Qi: "Hey, he doesn't understand. Do you understand? What are you doing?"
Yuan Qi also didn't know why Zhou Chang suddenly appeared here and what his plan was.
But she was only thinking about saving her father today, so she didn't answer.
He rushed to the white mask and said, "Today, we have to hand over the money and the person. If you disagree, I can take the gold back. If you dare to hurt my father's life, then today's 500,000 taels of gold will be the money to buy your life. In the rivers and lakes, the underworld, the heavens and the earth, as long as there are people, as long as you are willing to pay the price, think about your fate. My Yuan family will not let any of you and your nine clans go."
White Mask remained indifferent.
Zhou Chang paid close attention to the kidnappers' reactions. These people didn't seem to be afraid of Yuan Qi's threats, nor did they care about the bounty and the underworld.
Yuan Qi waited for a moment, but the kidnappers showed no sign of backing down, so he waved his hand and asked someone to carry the four boxes of gold away.
There are more than a dozen kidnappers, while Yuan Qi has more than a hundred people. It is definitely not feasible to rob them by force.
Seeing the lid of the box being closed and the gold disappearing from sight, the kidnapper in the red mask next to the white mask could no longer hold back and whispered something in the white mask's ear.
The white mask wavered and looked at Zhou Chang again, as if thinking about something.
Zhou Chang always had an attitude of not caring about the matter and just watching the fun: "Why are you looking at me? How are you going to deal with it?"
The white mask's voice became even more gloomy: "What on earth are you going to do?"
Zhou Chang immediately spread his hands and said, "I've already said that. It depends on what you are doing."
White Mask couldn't figure out what was going on and had to guess: "Are you here to disrupt the deal?"
Zhou Chang smiled even more and assured generously: "That is absolutely impossible. The number of people I bring is not as many as yours. Even if I want to, I am powerless."
The white mask was even more suspicious: "If you are not here to cause trouble, what is your purpose in appearing here?"
Zhou Chang gave him an idiotic look: "How many times do I have to say this? It depends on what you are doing."
The white mask became increasingly confused.
"Now that you haven't done anything, I can't do anything. If you do something, then I can do something." Zhou Chang further confused people.
The white mask had no expression on its face, but it stood still.
At this moment, a man with a black mask came forward from behind him and whispered something.
Zhou Chang guessed that the man in black mask must have slipped away to investigate the situation.
Sure enough, when the white mask heard the report, he nodded, and then thought for a while before asking dryly: "Are you really not here to cause trouble?"
"I swear to that cloud." Zhou Chang pointed to the sky.
The weather is fine today, with no clouds in the sky.
The white mask didn't know whether to believe it or not, but finally turned to look at Yuan Qi twice, then turned his head and whispered a few words to the red mask beside him.
The red mask retreated as instructed.
Zhou Chang followed closely and noticed that the kidnappers had been standing against a rock.
The red mask retreated behind the rock and was no longer visible.
Not long after, the red mask emerged from behind the rock again.
Behind him was a horse, on which sat a man with his hands tied, his eyes blindfolded and his mouth gagged, and two other people following behind as escorts.
Looking this way, I don’t know how many people are behind the rock.
No wonder the kidnappers are so confident.
Zhou Chang was assessing the strength of the kidnappers. Yuan Qi saw the man on horseback and urged his horse forward, shouting, "Daddy, Daddy..."
Yuan Yu's hands were tied, his eyes were blindfolded and his mouth was gagged. He heard his daughter's screams, but he didn't know if he heard them or not. His body was shaking and he could hardly stand.
Thanks to the bandits on both sides of the horse who supported him at the same time, he did not fall off the horse.
"Daddy, Daddy..." Yuan Qi wanted to run straight over, but was stopped by the kidnapper with a knife.
The chief guard Yuan Liang behind him also came forward with his men, but he did not dare to take big steps forward.
Yuan Yu's eyes were blindfolded and he could not see anything. At first, he did not respond to Yuan Qi's shouts. It was not until Yuan Qi called him several times that he finally responded and began to struggle.
The white mask said grimly: "You have already seen the person. You have to let us see the full amount of the 500,000 taels of gold."
Yuan Qi's knuckles turned white as he gripped the reins. He used all his strength to calm down before he could speak: "One hand over the person, the other hand over the money."
"Impossible. Last time you reported it to the authorities and caused them to send troops to search the mountain. I was being kind by not destroying the hostage." The man in the white mask glanced at Zhou Chang fiercely. "Hand over the gold first. Once there is no problem with the gold, I will release you."
Yuan Qi refused to give in: "You have already betrayed me once. You can't do that this time."
The white mask drew out the soft sword from his waist and forced it to Yuan Yu's throat: "You have no choice."
"Wait, are you guys going to make a deal?" Zhou Chang suddenly interrupted.
The hand of the white mask holding the sword stopped in mid-air: "What do you mean?"
Zhou Chang took out the Si Cao gold order again and waved it in front of everyone: "Have you heard of the Jin Cao Si?"
The White Mask did not answer.
Zhou Changquan agreed: "If you know this token, you should also know who I am."
Prince Yi has tried his best to be "high-profile" throughout his journey, striving to make the entire neighboring country, especially the northern part of Vietnam, aware of the "three unethical taxes" initiative in the shortest possible time.
The two eyes on the white mask moved around in the empty holes, but it still seemed like it was not going to answer.
Zhou Chang showed his full confidence: "You occupy the main road of Qihuang Mountain and have sent people to guard everywhere. It is impossible that you have not heard of it. After all, the three tax orders issued by the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue are faster than this king. So don't pretend to be confused."
The white mask couldn't help but wonder: "Why are you pretending to be confused?"
Zhou Chang put away his playful smile and replaced it with a serious and cold expression. He pointed to the four boxes of gold on the ground in front of him and said, "Hehe, I don't care what you are doing, but if you trade today, you have to pay me the 'transfer tax'."
Everyone was surprised when these words were spoken.
"Ding, a customer has placed an order for ten commemorative gold ingots." The voice of the viewpoint system came out again.
Zhou Chang simply pretended not to hear. What kind of people are these crazy customers who want to buy everything?
Shake your head and focus your mind.
Zhou Chang looked greedily at the dozen or so large boxes behind Yuan Qi, but he stole a glance at Yuan Qi and calculated, "Let me calculate it. How much gold did you say it was? Five hundred thousand taels, or five million taels...?"
However, Yuan Qi turned a deaf ear to him and only stared at his father Yuan Yu, looking very worried.
Liu E, who was following behind her, reacted and replied in a serious tone: "My Lord, these are 500,000 taels of gold, but this is not a transaction. It is the ransom demanded by the kidnappers."
