Chapter 143 Blackmail
The so-called fat sheep are naturally the sheep with more oil and water.
The kind that can kill!
In the eyes of Guo Fuxi, Lin Xu is an out-and-out fat sheep.
“Young Master from a rich family, but dressed up like this! hmph! There must be something dirty, if you don’t fiercely knock you out, I’ll be an official in vain!”
Guo Fuxi sneered in his heart, but his face was motionless.
“What are you doing?”
“Get the letter!”
“Report your name and address to me!”
“Tai Prefecture…”
Lin Xu reported both addresses, Guo Fuxi’s expression changed slightly when it came to Wudang.
When the Great Li Dynasty was prosperous, the official post was not open to the outside world. It was only later that corruption was rampant, and the official post was gradually released for the sake of money, and the civilian post and the official post were combined into one.
“I found it! You are waiting for me to help you get the letter!”
Guo Fuxi stood up and strode out.
Lin Xu stood in the room, waiting for time it takes to drink a cup of tea with an indifferent expression.
Da da da!
Guo Fuxi walked in with a letter in his hand, followed by two people behind him, burly, wearing light armor, with a saber hanging from his waist, obviously two Martial Artists with martial arts skills.
Looking at the clothes of the two people, they should be the yamen of the county government.
Guo Fuxi drooped his eyelids, his face darkened, and he looked majestic.
Lin Xu’s face didn’t change much when he saw the yamen, but when his eyes fell on the letter, his eyelids blinked unconsciously.
The letter shows signs of being opened.
“You have kept this letter for a long time, so you need to make up some expenses.”
Guo Fuxi looks like he is doing business.
“How much?”
“Hmm! Five taels!”
Guo Fuxi glanced at Lin Xu and asked tentatively.
The eyes of the two yamen at the door lit up. If the price was negotiated, they would be able to share a lot.
It’s not worth your hard work.
“Yes! Give me the letter first.”
Lin Xu responded quickly, then raised his hand to receive the letter.
“en?”
Seeing Lin Xu’s promise so succinctly, Guo Fuxi’s triangular beard trembled, thinking: Could it be that he’s going low?
He received the letter in his hand behind him, and there was a hint of treacherousness in his eyes.
“Five silver tael is a month’s money, you stay here for two months to get 12 tael!”
Guo Fuxi did not know the shame of increasing the price again.
The ten silver tael is close to the 20,000 yuan in the previous life according to the current market price.
This is clearly extortion.
If a letter is delivered within the Great Li Dynasty, even if it is sent to the frontier, it will be no more than three silver tael at most. And it is often sent by mail, and there is no problem of paying on delivery.
There is no postal insurance in this world, plus only letters, the cost of preservation is very low.
But no one would do it on purpose, because it’s equivalent to cutting off a path of money.
The ordinary person’s family finally saved enough money to send a letter to a distant relative. There was no reply, do you think he will send it next time?
A one-shot deal, or a lifetime deal, everyone knows that.
And the robbers along the road rarely stop the postman, and the cost is much lower than that of the escort.
Low cost and high yield, so there is no retention fee. When this matter was sent, the other party had already said it.
Now suddenly there is a retention fee, obviously taking the opportunity to extort.
This kind of thing is not without it, but the price the other party asks is obviously a bit outrageous.
“Ten silver tael?.”
Lin Xu laughed and said: “Is it too little?”
Guo Fuxi and the two yamen were stunned for a moment .
They only thought the other would say too high, never too low.
Is this kid trying to make me happy?
I would like to see what medicines are sold in your bottle gourd.
You really think you can find flowers at such a young age?
“Then how much do you want?” Guo Fuxi asked coldly with a displeased expression on his face.
“One hundred taels!”
Lin Xu compares a finger.
“If that’s the case, then bring it here.”
Guo Fuxi was not polite at all, and directly accepted it.
The two yamen who know the martial arts are already approaching quietly. If Lin Xu dares to play with them, he will inevitably get punched and kicked.
“Bring it.”
Lin Xu stretched out his hand and said indifferently.
Guo Fuxi thought he wanted to get the letter back first, so he scolded directly: “Are you deaf? Bring the money first!”
“Yes, first bring the money Take it back.”
Lin Xu hooked his finger at Guo Fuxi with a smile on his face.
“Huh?”
Guo Fuxi was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.
Co-authoring this guy is asking him to pay a hundred silver tael.
“You bastard—”
Guo Fuxi screamed before he could finish his words.
He just raised the right hand that he was about to give Lin Xu a slap, when Lin Xu pinched it, he twisted it into a twist.
“Bold!”
The two yamen roared, and instantly pulled out the long swords around their waists, moved towards Lin Xu and slashed over.
Lin Xu stood there without dodging.
Next moment, the golden light flashed at the part where the long knife was cut, the long knife made of High Level iron essence directly shattered into slag.
The two yamen shivered and fell directly to the ground.
Innate expert?
Would you like to be so unlucky, just extorting a person is an Innate expert.
They are obviously very careful, this guy doesn’t look like an expert in any way, but he still bumped into it.
I swear in my heart that I will never do this kind of thing again. Of course, whether there is a future or not depends on whether Lin Xu is willing or not.
“Did you hear one hundred taels?”
Lin Xu looked at Guo Fuxi flatly.
At this time, Guo Fuxi was like a dehydrated fish, unable to make any sound except opening his mouth.
He endured the pain and desperately nodded. Only then did Lin Xu let go of the right hand that he had completely destroyed.
After Lin Xu took the letter and one hundred silver taels left, the three of them sat on the ground with their faces as white as paper.
The three of them not only lost an arm by Lin Xu, but also got into a hundred silver tael. That is equivalent to their three and a half lifetime savings.
Of course, they certainly don’t have so much money on them, but instead take official silver. However, these money were all stared at by the adults above. They didn’t dare to take it personally, and they would definitely have to make up for it with family property.
This time it’s true having given away a bride, to lose one’s army on top of it.
“You Guo Huzi, I was really killed by you this time, my eyes are full of puffs, and even an Innate expert dares to blackmail me!”
One of them The yamen contorts one’s face in agony with thick hair on his face yelled. No way, it hurts too much.
At this time, throwing money is not a big deal. The key is that his hand is abolished, and his martial arts is equal to half. The future will not be easy.
The other round-faced yamen is also foul-mouthed. If it weren’t for the serious injuries on his body, they would definitely beat Guo Fuxi.
Guo Fuxi also has a hard time now.
I thought he was a wealthy Young Master, but who would have thought that he would be an Innate expert who would play the pig to eat the tiger.
This time he really fell for it, but he was really unwilling to put his life savings into it so obediently and honestly.
The most important thing is that the savings in this lifetime may not be enough.
The two yamen obviously want to renege on a debt, and the time will be on his head.
Now that his hands are abolished, his position is likely to be unretainable. If he puts all his savings into it, he will be completely finished for the rest of his life.
A flash of light flashed in his mind, and a vicious conspiracy occurred to him.
“Isn’t the giant whale gang pretending to be a big-tailed wolf recently? Then just stab them and let them come out to do justice.”
The officials ran into the gang To ask the other party to uphold justice. It sounds very funny, but it is a good opportunity for the giant whales to stand out.
The Giant Whale Gang not only has several Innate experts, but also has Great Influence behind it. No matter how strong that young Innate is, he will surely die.
Guo Fuxi had a sneer on his face, feeling that he was too smart.
Just before he could act, three stones were shot in, and the heads of the three of them instantly rotted into watermelons.
“If it wasn’t for the system hint, I still don’t know, I’ll give me a whole lot of shit. It seems that I can’t show mercy in the future no matter what.”
Lin Xu, who had already gone out, re- After turning back, the three of them were eliminated, and all the official silver was taken away by the way.
It turned out that he had just left the house and received multiple-choice questions from the system.
[Your actions fiercely offended the three of them. They are likely to plot some vicious schemes to disgust you. You decide—]
