Chapter 687 Half Treasure
In order to gain trust, Zhou Chang generously handed over the jade pendant: "This jade pendant is no longer useful, but you still have to return it to me after you have looked at it."
Han Bin stepped forward to take it and handed it over carefully.
The black ghost-faced man took it and turned it over and over in his hands, but couldn't figure out anything: "If it's useless, why do you want to go back?"
Zhou Chang looked disdainful and said, "Those of you who have no brains should forget about getting rich. You should know that this jade pendant is still there, and it can still deceive those who don't know about it. It is still a priceless item."
"Hmph, is that all you have in mind?" The black ghost face took a look at it, but couldn't see anything special about it. He was not interested in the useless and cracked jade pendant, so he returned it to Zhou Chang.
Zhou Chang took back the jade pendant and put it back into the gold-inlaid shell: "If you still don't believe it, send someone to check the box I brought out, and then we will quickly change people. The sooner we get it done, the sooner it will be done."
Things had come to this point, and Black Ghost Face had no choice but to agree, but to be cautious, he actually sent people down the mountain to check.
The tail peak of Fengming Mountain is actually a slope hidden in the valley, and the distance up and down is not far.
Soon, the person sent out gave the black mask a positive answer.
"What do you think? As long as you release those people, everything in the carriage below will be yours." Zhou Chang proposed again.
The black ghost face asked: "Is that all?"
"You still think it's not enough?" Zhou Chang did not answer directly.
"I'm afraid these are less than one-tenth of the treasure?" Black Ghost Face doubted.
Zhou Chang avoided the main point and said, "No matter how many there are, you guys are limited in manpower and can't eat them all."
"Whether I can eat it or not is my business, but how much did you get from it?" The black ghost mask stared at Zhou Chang through the veil and black gauze.
"Hehe..." Zhou Chang laughed greedily, "You don't have to worry about how much I take. Just tell me if the money down the mountain is enough. If it is enough... I will release the people. If it is not enough... it is not enough... that's all. You have to know that digging graves takes a lot of manpower. As the saying goes, whoever sees it gets a share. It's not all mine."
Black Ghost Face gradually understood something, and then asked the two men he had just sent out: "How many do you think there are?"
The two men looked at each other through their masks, and one of them began to calculate: "There are four large boxes on a carriage, and there are a total of 27 carriages, which means more than 100 boxes. Each box is as big as an adult, and they are full. If converted into gold, it must be several million taels."
Another person added: "There is not only gold in it, but also a lot of jewels, which are more valuable than gold. If you add antiques, it's even more unclear."
Zhou Chang said impatiently: "That's all, no more."
The black ghost-faced man glanced at Zhou Chang through the black veil, estimated in his mind, and then said: "Okay, I will change... but I can only change one person."
"One person? Do you still have any credibility?" Zhou Chang sat up straight in his chair again.
The black ghost face sneered grimly: "You are the one who doesn't keep your word. We agreed beforehand that the jade pendant would be exchanged for two people. Now that the jade pendant key is invalid, such a small treasure can only be exchanged for one person. This can be considered as doing the most benevolent."
"Haha...you are greedier than me..." Zhou Chang pointed at the black ghost mask, "One person is not enough, we need two people."
"Two people, then exchange them for another thirty carts of treasure." The black ghost face also insisted.
Zhou Chang spread his hands and said, "We only shipped out 40 trucks in total. Giving you 27 trucks is already more than half. The rest has been shipped back. I can't make the decision."
"Then we can only change one person." The black ghost face raised the sword in his hand again and pointed it at Yuan Qi and Yuan Yun, "You choose one of these two people."
Yuan Yun didn’t know when she woke up after fainting. When she heard the black ghost face behind her say this, she started to cry “Woo woo…” again.
Yuan Qi just stood there quietly, as if all this had nothing to do with her.
pick one of two?
Zhou Chang couldn't make a choice, and suddenly saw the white ghost mask in his peripheral vision. He pointed and said, "Oh, add him, and change two people."
"Him?" The black ghost's hoarse voice also sounded contemptuous, "He is not worth half a treasure."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his wrist and the tip of the sword stabbed Yuan Qi's shoulder again, hitting the same wound.
Yuan Qi's mouth was blocked, he groaned, his brows furrowed, but he stubbornly kept his body motionless.
"No..." Zhou Chang exclaimed.
At the same time, a figure from Qingshan rushed over from the side, knocked away the sword of the black ghost face, and stood in front of Yuan Qi.
All the kidnappers were wearing masks, except for this man, who had a flawless face and wore a long aquamarine gown. Even though his clothes had a few minor flaws, it couldn't hide his handsome and elegant figure.
Wen Fei?
Zhou Chang jumped up and Shouhou hurried to help him.
Wen Qingyan was panting and excited. He stood behind Yuan Qi and shouted at the black ghost mask: "You...you promised me that you would not hurt her, you would not hurt her."
Yuan Qi also turned around suddenly when he heard Wen Qingyan's voice.
The black ghost face poked with the tip of his sword impatiently: "He yelled at his men, who let him out? Take him down and keep an eye on him."
Wen Qingyan struggled to shake off the two ghost faces who came forward to pull him away, and turned back to Zhou Chang: "You... right now the country is in crisis, the court is short of money and food, and you are still thinking about enriching yourself at this time. Now that you have obtained the treasure, you should donate it all to win this battle."
"Are you crazy?" Before Zhou Chang could say anything, the black ghost mask shouted instead.
Wen Qingyan looked distressed, and just pointed at Zhou Chang's nose and cursed: "You...you got so much money from Qihua, why don't you think it's enough? You are greedy and you even stole her jade pendant and treasure. How many lives can be saved if you take out those treasures...how many people...you will be punished and punished by God..."
"What are you talking about?" Zhou Chang also felt that Wen Qingyan had gone crazy, but there was something more important, "Why are you here?"
Wen Qingyan did not answer, as if he was mad: "It's you, it's you, otherwise you wouldn't have hurt Qihua to this extent."
Yuan Qi struggled in the back and tried to make a sound, but he was held down by the kidnappers and a cloth was stuffed in his mouth, so he could not speak.
Wen Qingyan yelled and struggled, but was finally dragged away by the kidnappers. Just as she was about to disappear from everyone's sight, she turned around and threw herself at the feet of the black ghost face, crying: "Your Highness, since she is no longer of any use, please let her go. Your Highness, didn't we agree on this? Your Highness..."
"You're crazy." The black ghost-faced man kicked, but the kick was not very powerful. However, he quickly waved his hand to signal his men to pull the man away.
"Wait..." Zhou Chang suddenly raised his hand to stop him, "Brother Rong, Wen Fei is so begging, shouldn't you explain it to him?"
