Chapter Seventeen
Bian Xueling lowered her head and said nothing, and the sound of chaotic footsteps came from the stairs.
Lin Chenben stepped forward and grabbed Bian Xueling's slender wrist. Without any further explanation, he pulled her around the corner of the room and ran straight downstairs.
But they were blocked at the stairway on the second floor. A group of masked killers looked up at Lin Chen and Ben, with murderous intent and cold eyes.
Lin Chenben stretched out his waist, yawned, grinned, and suddenly raised his leg. The masked killer who was closest was kicked away, and everyone behind him rolled down the stairs.
"Thank you to Brother Gongsun for your kindness and the gift of a peerless beauty. They say that a spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Alas, it's a pity that it was ruined by something that is not eye-catching." Lin Chenben blocked the entrance of the stairs with his tall body, holding his forehead and sighing.
"Haha, there are always people who want to climb high. In my eyes, you are just an ant. You are worthy of calling me a brother. Now that you have fallen into my hands, you are still complacent. It is extremely ridiculous." Gongsun Gui originally thought that Lin Chen would kneel down like a dog.
I begged for mercy, but I didn't see what I expected, and I couldn't help but become angry.
"Bah, the Mr. Gongsun I know has such a noble status. He would never say anything he said and take it for granted! No, you are not Mr. Gongsun. Who are you? What did you do to my brother?" Lin Chenben said anxiously.
"Hahaha..." There was a burst of laughter in the hall.
"There are so many stupid people in the world. Tonight is an eye-opener. This is the famous Gongsun Gongsun. I am sure he is the real one!" A man in black stood up and mocked.
"Uh... Since I am who I am, but I don't keep my word and talk nonsense, oh, it's terrible. Young Master Gongsun and I talked a lot during the trip. No wonder I smell so bad. That's it!"
Lin Chenben said to himself, but his voice covered the entire hall.
"Haha..." One of the men in black laughed heartily, but then he realized that everyone was looking at him. He felt something was wrong, and his laughter stopped abruptly.
"Drag him out and kill him!" Gongsun Gui was furious and roared.
"You are so quick to talk at the moment. I will slowly cut off your tongue later. No, I will cut off your hands and feet and hang them on the city gate for three days to see if you can still laugh." Gongsun Gui was furious and raised his hand:
"You idiots, what are you waiting for? Are you waiting to die!"
At this time, there were twenty or thirty people in the hall, all of them were mobilized, and they rushed towards the stairs in a dark crowd.
Lin Chenben smiled coldly, jumped up, and landed on the glazed lamp in the center of the hall. With a loud noise, the ring-shaped glazed lamp holder broke in response, and pressed towards Gongsun Gui who was standing under the lamp.
go.
Gongsun Gui panicked, never expecting such a thing to happen. He put his head in his hands and ran away. In the end, he was a step too late and was crushed under the huge lamp holder.
Groaning sounds spread throughout the hall.
Lin Chenben opened the lamp holder with one hand and saw Gongsun Gui curled up. Lin Chenben's five fingers formed into claws, locked his neck, lifted him up, and blocked him in front of him.
"Everyone, please be patient and don't act rashly, lest I accidentally hurt Mr. Gongsun." Lin Chenben held up Gongsun Gui with one hand, shook it, and said loudly: "I guess you all have wives, children, young and old at home, Mr. Gongsun is like this.
There are three long and two shortcomings. You are beheaded in public, which is only one of them. The second is that you think carefully about whether your family will be implicated. So I advise you to put down the butcher knife. I have a good life and do not like to kill.
Kill," Lin Chen said seriously.
Everyone looked at each other, dumbfounded for a moment.
Gongsun Gui was trembling all over, his face was ferocious, his teeth were about to break, but he was unable to change anything!
"Boy, let go of Mr. Gongsun immediately, otherwise you will not escape death even if you escape to the ends of the earth!"
"You won't be able to escape even if you have wings tonight. If you let go of Mr. Gongsun in a wise way, I will give you a good time!"
...
A group of people slowly surrounded Lin Chenben with knives raised.
"It seems that you still don't understand the situation. If you keep talking, Mr. Gongsun will die soon!" After saying this, Lin Chenben tightened his claws, and Gongsun Ce's face turned purple, and he grabbed his hands and feet.
"What exactly do you want to say?" A man over fifty years old dressed as a butler asked.
"Well, I finally have a smart man. I will see gold...a thousand taels in half an hour, otherwise you will wait to collect the body!" Lin Chen originally thought that the Gongsun family is a powerful family, so his life is not worth a hundred taels.
, but what came out of his mouth was Qianliang, and he secretly scolded himself for being too greedy. If someone resisted desperately, not only would he not get any benefits, but he would also have to run away in embarrassment!
"Oh, this young master, if you had told me earlier, you would have scared me to death! A mere thousand taels of gold cannot compare with the young master's body of ten thousand gold. However, I hope you will keep your promise, otherwise you will risk your life.
I'll let you be smashed to pieces." The butler wiped the sweat from his head, his hanging heart relaxed, and he took a big breath.
The housekeeper said a few words to the man in black behind him, and the man in black turned and left.
"Master, I have sent someone to get the gold. Please raise your hand and let Master Gongsun take a breath!" Seeing that Gongsun Gui was about to fall into coma, the steward begged for mercy.
Lin Chenben walked slowly to the stairs with Gongsun Gui on his side, and everyone got out of the way.
"Miss Bian, thank you very much." Lin Chenben clasped his fists and said, "Miss, please leave first."
"Thank you for saving me, sir. The little girl has nothing to repay, so I gave this flying swallow stone to the young master. The flying swallow stone is not a strange stone, and it is not expensive, but this jade is carefully carved, and the snow swallows are flying. The little girl has always regarded it as a treasure and worn it.
I hope you don't mind, sir." Bian Xueling approached Lin Chenben, handed over the jade, and looked at him tenderly.
Lin Chenben smiled back and took the Feiyan Stone without looking at it carefully. After collecting it, he took Gongsun Gui hostage and walked out of the door with her.
Bian Xueling did not leave in a hurry, with a cheerful smile, like an elegant butterfly, dancing and drifting away, as if nothing in the world could break her calmness.
Beauty is innate and is a gift from God, while elegance is the art of time. Bian Xueling has both, which is extremely rare.
Watching Bian Xueling disappear into the crowd, Lin Chenben's eyes glowed with blue light, which seemed to be able to penetrate the night barrier, and his vision became clear. He chose an escape route, retracted the blue light, and turned around slowly. Crowds were already surrounding him.
They were all talking and pointing and talking.
The masked man had returned and whispered in the steward's ear: "Manager Luo, I have sent a message to Master Gongsun. I believe it won't take long for the army to arrive."
Thousands of taels of gold were stacked on the ground, and the golden light shone like silver that covered up the moonlight. Everyone's eyes were filled with glitter, greed, and envy. For ordinary people, they had never seen so much gold in their lives, let alone thousands of gold.
Two or even ten taels is enough for an ordinary family of four to have enough food and clothing.
"The action is very fast. Since you are so cooperative, I will keep my promise!" Lin Chenben curled his lips and smiled, walked up to him, grabbed a piece of gold and pretended to hold it.
"The quality is good, but it's a pity that the word Gongsun is engraved on the back of this gold ingot. It will be difficult to spend it in the future!" Lin Chenben said with a sad face.
Hearing Lin Chenben's words, Manager Luo was worried that he couldn't find an excuse to delay the time, so he immediately said: "Master Wu, if you are worried, Zuixianglou has ready-made silver and bronze inscriptions, and I think I can exchange a lot of them."
Come."
Lin Chen didn't hesitate and agreed: "Okay, hurry up, dress it up softly, and let the horse carry it!"
