246 Duncan's Self-Saving
"He is not only just attacking here..." Chen Xiansong smiled, and he decided to add more fire to the angry Zelonger: "He also wants to force me to hand over the salt recipe and bring the recipe back to the Emperor's Moon City."
As the saying goes, cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. As expected, when Zelonger heard this, his face immediately changed from cold to calm down. However, the fierce light flashing in his eyes proved how turbulent and stormy waves were in his heart. The City Lord's Mansion worked hard to make money, and used all kinds of black gates. After decades of saving money, he saved more than 100,000 gold coins. If the salt mine plan was launched, excluding labor costs, he conservatively estimated that the family could earn at least four or five hundred gold coins every month, which was more than three times the monthly book income of the City Lord's Mansion. Moreover, the business was very long, which could prevent the family from disturbing the money problem for hundreds of years.
But now, someone dares to make a fortune. One hundred gold coins can make the mercenaries take the risk of assassinating a small noble, and ten thousand gold coins can make a bunch of lunatics assassinate a noble. In this way, Duncan died many times and could not make Zelonger truly calm down in his heart.
Four bloody city lord's mansion guards walked in: "Young master, everyone outside has been cleaned."
"So fast?" Zelonger asked.
A guard replied: "Ms. Bai Qianxin almost knocked them out by themselves. We are only responsible for bleeding. So naturally faster."
Hearing this, Duncan and his two guards could already see their bodies trembling significantly.
"Can you let me take this guy away?" Zelonger pointed at Ken: "Don't worry, I will let this guy die miserably. This is your house, and you don't want it to get dirty."
"Please." Chen Xiansong shrugged, and Zelonger took the initiative to take this trouble, but he couldn't ask for it.
One sentence after another was like a whip of thorns whipping Duncan and his handsome face became pale and distorted by fear. In this case, the sexual thoughts had faded from his head, and the reason that was once expelled from his interests was returned to him. At this time, he finally discovered how big a mistake he had made, and then many things were connected. Why did the other party not move when he reported the news to Ricardo some time ago? When the salt-making incident came out, he reported it, and then he hurriedly took the notice to die. Ricardo calculated all his actions.
"Ricardo, you actually dare to insult me." Duncan, who figured it out, looked extremely bad.
Originally, the Bauhinia family was only leaning towards Rika and had more, and did not completely throw themselves into the other party's arms. However, as long as something happened in Qingxi City, the family would definitely turn towards Rika and Duncan, and he was a pawn of sacrifice. People from a big family like him were born noble and extraordinary. No matter how playful the family was, they could still reach the lowest title with the help of the family. Of course, there were more or less territory, whether there were or not, that was another matter.
But a noble person like him actually became an abandoned son used by others to transfer conflicts. How could he feel, who has always been arrogant? At most, he and Chen Xiansong were just a battle of intention and beauty, but Ricardo's approach made him feel that his self-esteem was greatly hit.
"Can you keep me a bad life?" Duncan looked at Chen Xiansong with a pale face. Although his lips were trembling slightly, and even his eyebrows were entangled into an earthworm. Even when he was begging for mercy to the enemy, his voice was still very steady, and he still had a bit of the unique arrogance of the great nobles: "If you kill me, you will only let your enemies succeed. If you save me, you can avoid a lot of trouble. I think from the perspective of the interests of the nobles, this is a good choice."
Chen Xiansong was a little surprised by the other party's performance. In this environment, under such a mental state, he could still straighten his head and express his meaning fluently. This is not something that ordinary dandy can do. He immediately became interested: "Save your life, okay! The reason is that it is easy for you to convince me, but it may be a bit difficult to convince Your Excellency Zelonger."
Duncan took a deep breath, put his right hand beside his mouth, and took a bite, and blood flowed. The severe pain made his brain clearer, and the blood seemed to drip down, flowing in front of his clothes. When he felt that he was not so nervous, he put down his hand. At this time, Zelonger, who was standing behind him, looked clearly at the blood-red teeth marks, and could vaguely see the already sunken white finger bones.
It takes more effort to achieve this. People who are so cruel to themselves are rare among nobles. Zelonger also became interested. He suppressed his murderous intent and said slowly: "Tell me slowly. If I have time, I can save your life. In addition, don't think of it as a family background to suppress me. We are a soldier family, so it's fine to listen to your orders. At critical moments, the army is not fooled by random."
"I know!" Duncan took a breath and turned to Zelonger and said, "I just figured out some things. Ricardo issued a notice. He guessed the reaction I would take. If I kill Your Excellency Chen Xiansong, it would be better for him. On the contrary, I was killed by Your Excellency Chen Xiansong, which was within his expectations. Then my family would completely list Your Excellency Chen Xiansong as a mortal enemy. Not killing would not be enough to redeem the honor of a big family, even if he was a soul-thinking person."
Zelonger sneer sneered: "He has two Sun God servants guards, and more than a hundred elite guards trained by Sun God servants. If your family wants to kill him, why should you scold him to death with your mouth? If you use the army, hehe, you will let our city lord's mansion stay by the side and watch the show?"
"Indeed, it is indeed difficult to kill Mr. Chen Xiansong." The more Duncan said, the calmer he became. He explained: "But, multiple enemies are not good after all, are you right? You said, Mr. Zelonger? Moreover, I know my father's surname. If he can't deal with Mr. Chen Xiansong, he will definitely vent his anger to the entire Black Rock City, and your city lord's mansion will definitely be involved."
Zelonger's eyes suddenly became sharp. He let out a low breath of air flow and said slowly: "Are you threatening me?"
"No, I'm just explaining a fact." Perhaps it was because I was too nervous and too excited not long ago. Duncan is now dry and his voice gradually became hoarse: "Although it's not particularly important for me to be a family, as long as something happens to me, my father will definitely turn completely to Ricardo. A Bauhinia family may only make you feel a little trouble, but if Ricardo's power is added, I think it will be very difficult for you to deal with it."
In order not to anger the two people in front of him, Duncan spoke very softly. In Zelonger's calculations, if he offended the Bauhinia family and Ricardo at the same time, their power was very large, which was equivalent to offending several large families at the same time. Even if the City Lord's Mansion was a soldier family, no matter how confident he was, he would definitely feel distressed when encountering this situation.
Thinking of this, Zelonger nodded: "I admit that you made sense, but do you think you can decide the plan or intention of a family, and what ability do you have?"
"I really don't have that ability, but I can try to say good things to you. I was regarded as an abandoned child by Ricardo. If his father knew about it, even if he continued to cooperate with Ricardo, he would not be as close as before." Duncan felt a little exhausted, and bit his right hand again, and his mouth opened his teeth and turned red: "But if I die here, you really have to deal with two deep-rooted families at the same time. You are all elites among the nobles. The pros and cons of them, I think both of them should be able to calculate clearly."
Zelonger thought deeply for a while, then looked up and asked, "Hiss Chen Xiansong, what do you think?"
In fact, he had agreed with Duncan's statement and planned to let him go and ask Chen Xiansong, just to show respect for him.
Chen Xiansong nodded: "He said it makes sense. Enemies should be resolved rather than formed. But he brought people in like this and chopped around my house. Someone must be injured and someone might die. Just patted his butt and let him go. I feel that I am not in a good mood. Do you have any good ideas?"
"Salvage his arms and let him not be able to take them for three days." Zelonger had handled the internal affairs for a long time. He knew very well about this matter and knew how to punish a noble who they could not kill: "In addition, he was asked to compensate him for all losses, and he also asked him to write a letter to notify his family and send someone to pay enough ransom. Lord Duncan, how much do you think you should be worth."
"Twenty thousand gold coins." Duncan replied without thinking, "I understand my father, and this is definitely his bottom line. I have several heirs in my family, and I am not particularly important. My father will not pay more for me."
Hearing this, Zelonger nodded to Chen Xiansong, indicating that the number is acceptable.
Chen Xiansong thought for a while and said, "Then let him stay here for a while. When Sister Qianxin comes back, I will ask the village for slander first. If someone dies, then I have to take him to ask the villagers what to do with him, otherwise I can't explain to the villagers."
Duncan breathed a sigh of relief. In his opinion, Chen Xiansong's words were already a way out. Even if his subordinates killed someone in the village and were dragged to trial, the villagers did not dare to let his life be exchanged for another life. At most, they would make more money and problems that could be solved with gold coins were not big problems.
After knowing that his life was not in danger, Duncan finally found that his strength had been almost exhausted. He supported his hands on the table, walked to the chair next to him, and sat down slowly. He saw a large pool of blood in the place where he was standing. Then he raised his right hand and found that the index finger and tiger mouth were already covered in blood and bones. The whole palm had turned red.
