Chapter 299 - Coercion
"Young Master Wang, it's not that you don't want to, it's just that you can't!"
Zheng Ji's face looked a little awkward as he replied, but the meaning behind his words was that he had rejected the offer unyieldingly.
"Hmm? What did Zheng Family Lord mean by this? If she couldn't even make such a request, could it be that the words she said before were all lies? Seeing that this young master's cultivation is low, is it that easy to bully? "
Wang Hao asked again and again with a cold face. He was not polite at all, he was extremely overbearing.
"I don't dare!" I dare not! Young Master Wang, don't misunderstand, this old man is not trying to fool you, it's just that your request is a little difficult, this old man has his own difficulties!
Zheng Ji hurriedly said, not daring to do so. An additional trace of helplessness appeared on the awkward expression on his face.
However, no matter how Wang Hao looked at it and how he listened to it, he felt that this old fellow was trying to force him, or perhaps lying to him.
Wang Hao coldly continued: "Alright! "Then tell me, what difficulties do you have, and how did I make it difficult?"
Zheng Ji immediately explained with a sigh: "Young Master Wang, to be honest, everyone knows about our little method of amassing money, but do you know who will stop us?"
"Of course there are. It's just that I'm too weak and was killed by you!" Wang Hao directly choked.
Zheng Ji was not angry, and explained: "Young Master Wang, you must have misunderstood again. Although our Zheng Family has some strength, and it is unavoidable for us to bully others by relying on our strength, we definitely won't casually kill people.
Hearing that, Wang Hao could not help but sneer, "Hehe, all of you blatantly embezzled their money, and just because they came to ask for money, you say they committed a crime worthy of death?"
Zheng Ji laughed bitterly and continued to explain, "Young Master Wang misunderstood our Zheng Family quite deeply! How can you say that we openly disrespected their wealth? We only used a small method, and in terms of general direction, we all came in accordance to the empire laws. This point is something that can be followed, Young Master Wang, you can go investigate the relevant regulations of the empire laws. "
As for the fact that they came to ask for money, of course it's not a death sentence. But some people with ulterior motives want to take the opportunity to gather a bunch of people and cause trouble, slander the government, and plot a rebellion, which is a huge crime of exterminating the nine clans. We only kill a few of them as the leaders, without any connections.
When Zheng Ji said these words, his face was not red, his heart did not beat fast, and he seemed rather natural. He even showed a trace of helplessness and grievance, causing Wang Hao's eyelids to tremble and the corner of his mouth to twitch, almost going berserk.
This was too infuriating, the expression on the face of this old family member was truly infuriating, even more infuriating than when he heard about the evil deeds of the Zheng Family.
"Such a small method, such a simple method, such a simple method, you abuse your authority and take advantage of the law, yet you can still speak in such a righteous and righteous manner! This young master has truly broadened his horizons! "
Wang Hao taunted: I'm impressed! Admiration! This young master is truly impressed! I am convinced! "
Zheng Ji replied with a serious expression: "Young Master Wang, you flatter us, this is all just a small trick, it cannot enter your eyes, you are the sect's heaven's pride level expert and are even a disciple of the Taoist Master Yunxiao, it is normal that you do not understand our difficulties, we are suffering because we cannot speak of it!"
"Good!" Very good! Since that's the case, then I shall put it this way. If you guys obediently return the money for the compensation, I can still make way for you guys and let you guys off the hook. But if you guys still refuse to repent and continue to commit your crimes, then don't blame this young master for annihilating your Zheng Family. "
Wang Hao bellowed in rage: "If you don't believe me, you think I'm speaking nonsense and bluffing, but you don't want to listen, just wait and see if I can keep my promise."
Zheng Ji's face immediately darkened. He narrowed his eyes and threatened in a strange tone, "Young Master Wang, please be careful of what you say.
Wang Hao was disdainful, he smirked: "This young master will do what he says, if there is any trouble, please come, this young master will take it!"
Hearing that, Zheng Ji's expression became unsettled, as though his heart was struggling, analyzing the pros and cons.
With a flip of his palm, a storage ring appeared on the table. In a low voice, he said: "Young Master Wang, you are a disciple of the Taoist Master Yunxiao, I am not willing to offend you, but I also hope that you do not make things difficult for me. This storage ring has three sets of Jindan resources.
Wang Hao's expression changed slightly. This old fellow was planning to force his into action.
To a clan like the Zheng Family, having three portions of Jindan Stage resources was indeed a huge expenditure. Although it could not be compared with a sect, to a heaven's pride level sect, it was still priceless. Even Wang Hao was a little tempted.
Just as Zheng Ji had said, Wang Hao might not be able to use it, but Wang Hao's clansmen could. The Wang family did not lack resources at the Innate realm, but that did not mean that they would think that it was excessive. Furthermore, it was directly aimed at the Jindan Stage resources, which meant that half a step into the Jindan Stage, there were resources needed to liquefy their Qi.
But, Wang Hao understood in his heart, Zheng Ji mentioning all these, was simply threatening him.
You are a disciple of the Taoist Master Yunxiao, I do not dare to offend you, but if you force me, I can make a move on your family.
However, when Wang Hao thought about it carefully, he could tell from Zheng Ji's words that the Zheng Family had not found out where his clan was. Otherwise, based on the Wang Family's current situation, three sets of Golden Core resources would be less practical than ten sets of Peak Innate resources.
To Zheng Family, ten sets of resources at the peak of the Innate Realm was much more worthwhile than three sets of resources at the Golden Core Realm.
"My family is not hard to find. If Zheng Family wants to investigate, she will find out sooner or later!"
Thinking about the Wang Family's current strength, Wang Hao felt a headache.
Wang Hao was very clear, if he forced the Zheng Family into a corner, the Zheng Family would easily be able to kill a few Wang Family members, and even destroy the Wang Family without leaving any evidence.
"Could it be that I will let Zheng Family off for now?" Wang Hao was a little unresigned.
Seeing Wang Hao's conflicted expression and knowing how Wang Hao's heart was shaken, Zheng Ji hurriedly tried to persuade him: "Young Master Wang, money is just trash, especially for me, I don't think it's worth it, so you don't need to mind it too much, and my Zheng Family, unless absolutely necessary, would not use any tricks to gather money. I can promise you this, in less than ten years, my Zheng Family will stop this method of gathering wealth.
Furthermore, Young Master Wang, you may not know this, but the wealth gathering methods that our Zheng Family has today, the County Palace s, sects, and even several large clans have all silently consented to it.
"Even if this old man wants to, I have to take one step at a time. I can't do it overnight!"
Zheng Ji earnestly tried to persuade his, and in the end, even moved out of County Palace's sect and a few large families to teach Wang Hao to retreat after learning of the difficulties he faced.
After all, she was still a disciple of the Taoist Master Yunxiao. If she could not offend him, then she must not be offended.
Not to mention whether Zheng Ji truly meant it or not, and whether he truly had difficulties to deal with, these words sounded rather sincere, and could be considered a step back, giving Wang Hao face.
