Back to the Peak

While the senior members of the Ling family were all excited, a family member hurried in and reported to Ling Xiao: "Patriarch, people from the four major families of Yangliu, Han and Xu are asking to see you outside the door, saying they are discussing about compensation. 26nbsp;”

"Oh? I didn't expect them to come so fast!" Ling Xiao was a little surprised, sneered, and told the famous family Ding, "Bring them to the lobby to meet me!"

"Yes!" The famous family member Ding bowed and ran out in a hurry.

Seeing the servant leaving, Ling Luo looked at Ling Xiao and said loudly, "Father, these four major families have killed more than 20 members of our Ling family 'Fengrui' in Maple Leaf City. They must not be taken advantage of easily!"

Ling Feng also said in a deep voice: "That's right, today we must slaughter the four major families of Yangliu, Han, and Xu, and let them know what will happen if they dare to provoke our Ling family!"

Hearing Ling Feng's words, the three elders behind Ling Xiao and the rest of the senior officials also nodded in agreement.

After a while, footsteps sounded outside the door, and four middle-aged men with different appearances walked in quickly, bowed to Ling Xiao, and said at the same time: "Patriarch Ling, in order to show the sincerity of our four major families, Yangliu, Han and Xu , as soon as our patriarch returned to the family, he ordered our four housekeepers to come over quickly so that we can compensate your family for the loss in time."

"Sincerity?" Ling Feng snorted coldly, and shouted, "If there is sincerity, then why didn't your patriarch come here to apologize in person!"

"That's right, why don't you let your patriarch personally come and apologize!"

"The four of you are obviously perfunctory to the imperial decree of the Holy Majesty!"

All the senior members of the surrounding Ling family followed Ling Feng and shouted loudly.

Seeing that the one who took the lead in scolding them was Ling Feng who caused the four of them to lose their wives and soldiers, the four housekeepers couldn't help but feel tense and nodded repeatedly.

Although Ling Feng's words made the four stewards very unhappy, they also knew that the man in front of them was a ruthless man who had killed thousands of their clansmen, and even the emperor was partial to him. He didn't dare to contradict Ling Feng. And today they came here to compensate the Ling family, to pretend to be grandsons, can they do it without nodding and bowing?

Ling Xiao didn't stop the clansmen's scolding, and looked at the four butlers standing in the middle of the hall lightly, and said coldly: "Tell me, how are your four families going to compensate my Ling family for the loss?"

Hearing Ling Xiao's straight-forward question, a butler with a mustache squeezed out a bright smile, cupped his hands and said, "Since patriarch Ling is so forthright, and the four of us are sincere, why don't we sit down and discuss it, I don't know what patriarch Ling wants..."

Before the housekeeper could finish speaking, Ling Luo slapped the table hard and stood up abruptly, "Hmph, do you still want to sit down and talk? There is no door! Don't forget that you came to make an apology." , we didn't let our Ling family treat us as VIPs!"

"This reckless man is so fucking overbearing!" Hearing that Ling Luo didn't intend to let them sit down, the four housekeepers were very upset, but they didn't show it because of their tactful handling, they still forced a smile on their faces, Looking at Ling Xiao expectantly. From their point of view, although it was an apology this time, they represented the four old big families. How could they not even have the qualifications to sit in the little Ling family?

So they believed that Ling Xiao would definitely let them sit down, and then slowly discuss the matter of compensation.

However, Ling Xiao's next answer took them by surprise.

"Four housekeepers, I'm really sorry. We don't seem to have any extra seats for you in the lobby of the Ling family. And since you want to show the sincerity of your four families, I think it's more sincere for you to stand and talk." Ling Xiao said calmly, neither in a hurry nor in a hurry.

Seeing that Ling Xiao had no intention of letting them sit down, even the four housekeepers who were thick-skinned showed a look of pig liver. By doing this, the Ling family is completely slapping the faces of their four major families!

Although they were angry in their hearts, they firmly remembered the mission of this trip, and had to still humbly accompany their smiling faces.

"In that case, then I'll just say it straight. In order to make up for the loss of your Ling family, our four families are going to offer two million silver each as compensation, and I hope you will accept it, Patriarch Ling." After the nonsense, the four housekeepers each He took out a thick stack of bank notes from his arms, and respectfully placed them on the table in front of Ling Xiao.

Seeing that the four major families took out 8 million taels of silver all of a sudden, some high-level members of the Ling family who were present even became a little short of breath.

The annual profit of the Ling family's mine vein is only about five million taels of silver. The four major families compensated the Ling family eight million taels of silver at one time, which is almost close to the total profit of the Ling family for two years. It is definitely a huge sum of money!

Ling Luo, who was furious just now, was also stunned, staring straight at the thick bank note in front of Ling Xiao's desk. This was the first time in his life that he saw so much money with his own eyes!

Seeing the reaction of everyone in the Ling family, a smug smile flashed across the faces of the four housekeepers. They believed that the eight million taels of silver was enough to satisfy the little Ling family. However, a cold voice completely froze the smiles on their faces.

"Killing more than 20 innate masters of our Ling family, you just want to prevaricate us with only eight million taels of silver. Your four big families are too stingy, aren't you?" name butler.

Being stared at by Ling Feng, the four housekeepers looked at each other, nodded secretly, and said again: "Since Deputy Ling thinks it's too little, then each of us will add another 500,000 yuan, and we will compensate you 10 million yuan in total. , you should be satisfied now, right?"

"Hiss!" Hearing that the other party added two million taels because of Ling Feng's words, many members of the Ling family gasped. The money is too easy to earn, right?

However, Ling Feng was unmoved at all. Instead, he stretched out his right hand and shook it in front of the four housekeepers, and said coldly: "Each of you will pay us five million taels to compensate us, and the matter of Maple Leaf City will be cancelled!"

Seeing Ling Feng's lion opening his mouth, the four housekeepers couldn't help their eyelids twitching.

Although the four of them are first-class families with great strength, their annual profit is only about 15 million taels of silver. They thought it was generous enough to give out 2.5 million taels of silver, but they didn't expect Ling Feng to do it once. Sex' takes a third of their annual profits!

"Vice Dutong Ling, isn't it too much for you to ask for? Let's see it this way. What do you think about adding another five hundred thousand taels for each of our families?" The man with the mustache was sweating on his forehead, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and squeezed out With a smile uglier than crying, she looked at Ling Feng expectantly.

"Five million each!" Ling Feng's voice was still cold.

"Each of us will add another one million!" Bazihu ​​gritted his teeth.

"Five million, not a cent less!" Ling Feng said firmly.

"Another one and a half million!" Mustache wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Ling Feng glanced at the four housekeepers, and said in a deep voice: "You have to know, you came to our Ling family to compensate for the loss, not to bargain! As far as the five million I said, you can't lose a penny! Otherwise, Hugh! Blame me for repeating the old matter in front of the Holy One, then you will be defiant and disrespectful!"

Pressed by Ling Feng's big hat, the four housekeepers were startled and trembled all over. They came here to compensate the Ling family. If Ling Feng really had any grievances to report to the Holy One, even if they had ten heads, it would not be enough to cut them off.

"Okay, we promise you, each family will pay five million taels of silver!" The four housekeepers looked at each other, although their flesh hurt, they finally agreed reluctantly. Before they came, they had already received death orders from various patriarchs: "No matter what the price is, as long as it is not too outrageous, this matter must be completely settled." Although five million taels of silver was a lot to them, it was within acceptable limits.

"We don't have enough bank notes, so we have to go back to the family." Bazihu ​​said with a helpless smile.

"Then trouble the four of you to hurry back!" Ling Xiao said with a smile, in a good mood.

Seeing the four housekeepers leave in a hurry, everyone in the lobby focused on Ling Feng.

"Brother Feng, you were so handsome just now! Just a few words made the four of them spend an extra twelve million taels of silver!" Ling Luo said cheerfully.

"I thought eight million taels was a lot, but I didn't expect Feng'er to let them spend a full twenty to twenty million taels!"

"Twenty million taels, this is the profit of our Ling family for four years!"

The three elders behind Ling Xiao also looked happy, and they were full of praise for Ling Feng.

"Ling Lang, how do you know they are willing to pay so much money?" Tang Yan blinked her almond eyes and looked curiously at Ling Feng beside her.

Ling Feng curled his lips, spread his hands, and his face was full of innocence: "Actually, I just made a random price, so I know they actually agreed..."

"Ah, what price did you ask?" Tang Yan was surprised when her small mouth opened into an O shape.

"What!" Ling Luo's eyes widened.

Hearing Ling Feng's answer, Ling Xiao and the three elders were startled for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

This is an unlucky day for the four major families of Yangliu, Han and Xu.

After learning that the Ling family paid five million taels of silver in compensation to each of their families, the patriarchs and acting patriarchs of the four families almost went crazy!

The Liu family, who got the news first, suddenly heard an angry roar from the lobby.

"That bastard Ling Feng opened his mouth so loudly. He is clearly making trouble!" Liu Tianpeng smashed the table in front of him with a fist, and said angrily, "Hmph, we can't let him continue to be so arrogant. The message I sent It should be almost in the hands of the eldest brother. I believe that it will not be long before the eldest brother will come back with the strong men in the barracks, and then he can find a chance to kill Ling Feng!"

A fierce light flashed in Liu Tianpeng's eyes, and Shen Sheng whispered something to the two strong confidants behind him.

After receiving Liu Tianpeng's order, the two confidantes bowed and quickly walked out of the lobby of the Liu family.
