#692 - Black-hearted old king
Comrade Lao Wang advocates a clear distinction between public and private affairs.
The statue is broken, so it's broken... Wang Yuan spent money to repair it... and it's Wang Yuan's statue, so asking for one hundred gold is already a face for Wang Yuan.
But when it comes to myself, I cannot afford to lose even a penny.
Although the people in Wangjia Village are all farmers, they are not farmers who have never seen money.
Since ancient times, scholars have been poor and martial artists have been rich... Which martial arts family is not rich... Living in seclusion and farming is just an ancestral precept...
In peacetime, one or two hundred thousand is not a lot of money in the eyes of people like them. It is just the annual food expenses for a family of three.
You broke my enamel pot and there's nothing wrong with me asking you for five million gold coins.
…
"You are a devil, right?!!"
Hearing Lao Wang's words, everyone in the Federal Guard burst into tears.
They finally realized that this group of villagers were only honest on the surface, but in fact they were darker than anyone else.
This fat guy is even more evil.
I've seen people blackmailing others, but I've never seen anyone blackmailing like this.
After all, we are all professional masters, and we are all brave people! We cannot admit defeat in the hands of such a person.
“What if we don’t pay?”
One of them said very toughly: "I am not afraid of being scared. At worst, you can kill us. It's better to take money than life."
"I'll emphasize this to you again!"
Lao Wang heard this and said very seriously: "Killing is against the law!! Also, who will pay the money if I kill you?"
“No money!”
Everyone shook their heads.
"????"
“!!!!”
The federal guards were stunned on the spot.
Good job!
These people are treated like bosses wherever they go. They have never been treated like this before.
When they heard they were going to be hung on the wall, they were already panicking, and they were also going to take off their clothes and hang...
Is this old guy still a human being?
No matter how everyone talks about it, he is a celebrity… a master, a national idol.
If I were stripped naked and hung there for public display, how would I live my life in the future?
A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated...
It would be better to be dead.
“Uncle…uncle…uncle…uncle…wait…wait…we know we are wrong!”
Seeing that their clothes were about to be torn off by the group of villagers, the federal guards shouted for mercy.
Bloody! Not much...
"Hey... that's right." Old Wang said with satisfaction: "Young man, don't be so confident in the future... If you go to someone's house and make trouble, it's only natural to pay for the damage. How can you be so arrogant? As long as you pay, I didn't say I was making things difficult for you. I am a leader after all."
"Uncle, you are right...we were wrong...we will compensate you."
After falling into Lao Wang's hands, everyone realized what a real coward is. No one dares to act like a coward anymore.
The Federal Guard is not poor. They have a total of more than 6 million gold coins... A few hundred people can still pool that much together.
He quickly collected enough compensation and handed it to Lao Wang with trembling hands.
"Hehe! Young people are so nice." Old Wang smiled with relief and put the compensation money into his arms.
Sima Gangqiang, who was watching from the side, was stunned.
This scene...seems so familiar.
"Um... Uncle, can you let us go now?" The federal guards asked cautiously after paying the compensation.
"Who said you can go away if you pay compensation?" Lao Wang asked back.
"ah?!!"
Everyone was stunned and immediately pointed at Lao Wang and cursed: "You old ..."
"You have to pay compensation even if you curse someone."
Before the word "old bastard" was even uttered, Lao Wang said lightly.
"Old sir! It's against the rules for you to do this!" The Federal Guards quickly changed their words.
"The compensation is just our private grudge." Lao Wang spread his hands and explained, "If you pay the compensation, I can forgive you and not strip you naked and hang you up... But the problem is, now you are invaders and prisoners... I have a public grudge by arresting you. You want me to release the prisoners privately for that little money? Do you think it's possible? Or are you only worth that little money?"
"this……"
Everyone was silent.
I almost forgot, we are still fighting a city battle.
If I had known this earlier, I would have rather not paid the six million.
"How can we be let go?" everyone asked again.
"Let your boss come and talk to me!" Lao Wang said lightly.
“Boss! Boss!!”
Everyone shouted at Lynch who was lying on the ground and snoring.
Lynch didn't move at all.
"Brother, please pee on him to wake him up." Everyone turned around and asked the villagers behind them.
"My urine is yellow, I'll do it!" Big Head walked over holding his belt.
“Bang!”
Lao Wang snapped his fingers and a button flew out and landed on Lynch's head.
"oops……"
Lynch sat up with a cry.
"Huh?"
"oh?"
"Huh?"
Seeing this scene, three question marks popped up in Lynch's head.
Then he looked at Lao Wang again, and immediately remembered what had just happened. An expression of horror appeared on his face.
"We...actually..."
Having said that, Lin Qi looked around again, looking at all the people who were tied up like dumplings, fear, despair, disbelief and all kinds of emotions filled his heart.
"You are their boss?!"
"I... I'm the captain." Lin Qi hung his head, breathing weakly...
"You are my prisoners now. Do you understand your situation?" asked Lao Wang.
"I understand! I understand!" Lin Qi tilted his head, not daring to look directly at the old man in front of him.
"Our boss said that he can let you go, but you have to pay a ransom... You should calculate how much you are worth, and then find someone to redeem you." Lao Wang said, "Don't have any other ideas... This is not a place where you can come and go as you please. If I can catch you once, I can catch you twice."
Having said that, Lao Wang looked around.
Lin Qi followed Lao Wang's gaze and saw the surrounding villagers rubbing their hands, eager to try.
These guys have been practicing martial arts since they were young...but they have never been able to use their skills in their entire lives.
Apart from studying with myself, I have never met outsiders on weekdays.
What's the point of one's own people fighting against one's own people? They can't be too ruthless... They don't know how many times they have dreamed of having a group of ignorant guys coming to practice on them.
Today is a dream come true.
It’s a pity that the skills of this group of people were not very good. They were all knocked down by dozens of people, and most of them were not satisfied yet.
Some people have even begun to suggest releasing this group of people, letting them run around, and then everyone goes after them...whoever catches them will own them.
If Lin Qi knew what these villagers were thinking, he would probably be depressed to death.
They are the Federal Guard...professional masters, top predators.
Now he is like a mouse caught by a cat, being treated as a toy by these villagers.
Damn, this is much more fun than a lifelike doll.
