Chapter 81 Two hundred thousand taels
As soon as these words were said, the whole scene was quiet. No one could say the blackmail so openly.
The civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty all looked like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. The main reason was that they didn't like the eunuch, and they were happy to see Eunuch Zhang bleeding heavily. Because of this kind of mentality, they seemed to hate Li Xin not so much.
Even Shi Kefa didn't make any noise for the first time, and only glanced at Eunuch Zhang with gloating eyes.
But the Hong Madam had a fever on her cheeks. She found that Li Xin was completely shameless. You blackmailed privately. It seemed so glorious in front of so many people, but she unexpectedly realized that Gao Guiying's expression was also a little unnatural.
Indeed, Gao Guiying's first reaction was embarrassing. Although she woke up quickly, she was not the one who lost her, but her expression was not able to reply so quickly.
"Eunuch Zhang, how about it?"
Li Xin asked leisurely.
Eunuch Zhang said tremblingly: "Commander, how much do you want?"
Li Xin smiled and stretched out five fingers.
"Five hundred taels?"
Eunuch Zhang said carefully.
Li Xin's face sank: "Eunuch Zhang, are you always kidding me?"
"Five...5,000 taels?"
Eunuch Zhang's lips trembled.
Li Xin shook his head.
"Five five five...50,000 taels?"
Eunuch Zhang's fat face shook violently and his eyes were glaring!
Li Xinha smiled: "It's a joke. Your Eunuch Zhang has been in charge of Huai'an for three or five years. How can you not get the important land of the canal transport hub? Over the years, I'm afraid that tens of millions of taels of silver will be enough. If I don't ask you for more, I will take 500,000 taels and get the money!"
"Oh, our life is here!"
Eunuch Zhang screamed strangely, then cried: "Commander, you heard from our family that our family has so much money. Even if it is 50,000 taels, we have to piece together and carry a lot of debts. I don't know how to repay it for the rest of my life. I'm asking the Commander to be kind, let alone the Commander, don't we still want our family to handle the matter of reunion?"
"You threaten me?"
Li Xin said coldly: "Without you, Eunuch Zhang, and Shi Caofu, don't think of making trouble from it. The surging canal is right in front of you. It's nothing to drown someone. Everyone, if Eunuch Zhang falls into the river and drowns, will the emperor blame him?"
Eunuch Zhang murmured, speechless, no one spoke a group of civil servants and generals. The atmosphere was extremely strange, and there were even people laughing secretly. This shows how angry the eunuch was.
"continue!"
Li Xin waved his hand again.
A personal guard once again put a brick in it, and suddenly, the howl like a pig slaughtering sounded again.
Although Eunuch Zhang couldn't move, anyone could see that he was struggling violently. He couldn't move and was still suffering from inhuman torture. It was obviously an extremely painful process, but it was beyond everyone's expectations. Eunuch Zhang just howled sternly, without any intention of begging for mercy. This is really a matter of money but life!
"Put another piece!"
A fierce light flashed in Li Xin's eyes!
A personal guard struggled to put in the fourth brick.
With a terrifying cry of "Woo~~", Eunuch Zhang fainted!
Generally speaking, four pieces are the limit of the human body's tolerance, which can put the kneecap in a state of being broken, which is simply painful. Think about it, it is really broken all of a sudden. The pain can be endured because of the loss of worries in the heart, and the knee will be broken continuously. The severe pain and fear are superimposed, and the pain will be magnified exponentially. This is also the cruelty of the tiger bench. It not only punishes the body, but also puts psychological pressure.
"Crazy~~"
A bucket of cold water was poured on, and Eunuch Zhang woke up slowly, gasping weakly. After a confused look in his eyes, he looked at Li Xin with pleading.
Li Xin asked someone to remove the bricks, then stepped on the tiger bench and smiled playfully: "Eunuch Zhang, how does the tiger bench taste like? Do you want to taste it again?"
"No, no!"
Eunuch Zhang begged mercy repeatedly: "Commander, our family really can't afford 500,000 taels. Looking at the glory, we eunuchs actually can't keep a few of the money we got. Most of them were taken away by the elders in the palace. Otherwise, how could our family do it until today!"
Seeing Eunuch Zhang's expression, Li Xin didn't seem to be a fake, so he asked, "How many can you take out?"
"This is..."
Eunuch Zhang stumbled, his little eyes rolling.
Xu Shao said from the crowd: "Commander, what Eunuch Zhang said is the truth. The father-in-laws in the palace have a very small appetite. According to my estimate, Eunuch Zhang should be almost the same as he gets a hundred thousand and two hundred thousand taels."
In the first half of the sentence, Eunuch Zhang was quite happy, but in the second half, he wanted to slap him in one ear!
"good!"
Li Xin looked threatening in his eyes and shouted: "Eunuch Zhang, just take 200,000 taels. You immediately ask someone who can trust to go back to Huai'an. Don't play tricks on this commander, otherwise your life will be gone and your money will be someone else's!"
“Yes!”
Eunuch Zhang was sobbing that he quickly ordered the two eunuchs to go back and get the money.
"Play~~"
Li Xin then patted Eunuch Zhang's cheek twice and warned earnestly: "Eunuch Zhang, wouldn't it be enough to cooperate long ago? Why should you suffer this? Don't worry, the commander's iron teeth and bronze teeth will be released until the money is released. If you come, carry Eunuch Zhang down to rest."
"Get orders!"
Several personal guards happily untied the rope for Eunuch Zhang.
"Oh, be gentle, our legs can't move. Dear soldiers, please carry our house down!"
Eunuch Zhang complained endlessly.
For the sake of money, those personal guards did not make things difficult for him.
Eunuch Zhang limped down, leaned against the tree trunk, grinned and kept pounding his legs.
Li Xin asked Shi Kefa again: "Mr. Dao Lin, can you tell me about Li Futai, Henan?"
"oh?"
A flash of suspicion in Shi Kefa's eyes.
Li Xin explained: "Li Futai is our old parents in Henan and are honest and honest. Because Luoyang was destroyed by Li Chuang, the students are expected to be angry with Li Futai, so they are worried and want to find his whereabouts."
Shi Kefa pondered: "The emperor was furious for being killed by the blessing vassal. He issued an order to order the Tiqi to take Li Futai back to Beijing. Later, he learned that the thieves were attacking Kaifeng, so he released Li Futai halfway and ordered him to return to Kaifeng to make meritorious service."
Li Xin frowned slightly. In his impression, Li Xianfeng was indeed arrested and executed by Beijing. Has history changed? It took him a long time to say: "If Li Futai's situation has changed, I hope Mr. Daoli told him in time."
"Can!"
Shi Kefa looked at Li Xin deeply and nodded.
"Thank you!"
Li Xin bowed his hand and looked at the group of civil servants and generals. Their hairs suddenly exploded and they didn't dare to move. They were also afraid of being blackmailed by Li Xin!
Fortunately, after a moment, Li Xin said: "I feel wronged today. Our revolutionary army is not well off. Each person will take a few steamed buns and go back. I hope that next time I can meet you as a colleague."
"Commander-in-Chief Renyi, I thank you!"
A vague thanks came from the crowd. Li Xin could see clearly that many people just moved their mouths and smiled with contempt on their faces. However, he didn't care. He saw that the prisoners not far away had been well identified, so he waved his hand back.
Hundreds of soldiers carrying baskets flocked into the crowd and distributed steamed buns. Everyone was hungry and grabbed them and stuffed them into their mouths.
"Please come back, I will not be far away for you to send it."
Li Xin bowed again.
"Goodbye, say goodbye!"
A group of people turned around and left as if they were running away.
