Chapter 6 This does not conform to the routine

Tian Hong approached Shen Lang, tore off the cloth strip from his mouth, and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Indeed, a warrior stepped forward, drawing his sword and striking down towards Shen Lang's neck, intent on taking his life

This is quite extraordinary

Shen Lang said: "Ten days, one thousand gold coins"

You and I have no grievances or enmities, and you are not as foolish as the legends suggest. Tian Heng replied, "But I still have to kill you, my apologies.

Dig him out

Thus, Shen Lang fixed his gaze directly on the leader of the group

He did not lie; there is indeed a needle inside Tian Heng's body, a very, very thin silver needle, which is currently located in the lung. If it were not for his eyes having X-ray vision capabilities, it would be impossible to detect it.

Three months ago, when he was adopted into the Xu family, his father had gone to the Xu residence to cause a scene, demanding that Shen Lang be brought back home. As a result, he was driven out by the Xu family's servants and must have been severely injured. At that time, Shen Lang was a foolish simpleton and, of course, was unaware of this matter.

This is a secret that even Tian Heng's wife is unaware of; it is truly strange that this foolish pretty boy in front of me knows about it

Then, he stood up and said: "Give him a quick end, kill him first and then bury him"

Four warriors took action and dug Shen Lang out of the pit, but these individuals had no paper or writing instruments on them

However, Shen Lang was unable to shout out loud due to the cloth strip tied around his mouth, only able to make muffled sounds. The other party could not discern what he was trying to shout and was completely indifferent.

Slow down! Shen Lang shouted loudly: "How much are they offering you to kill me? I will give you ten times that, I will give you one thousand gold coins"

Upon hearing Shen Lang's words, Tian Heng could not help but be astonished

Tian Hong was taken aback; how could this Shen Lang be so astute, almost extraordinarily intelligent? From the simple conversation just now, he was able to discern that the price offered to him was one hundred gold coins

Tian Heng cannot remove the silver needle embedded in his body, as the person who inserted the needle into him is someone he cannot resist

Tian Hong hesitated slightly; Shen Lang wanted to gather one thousand gold coins within ten days, which seemed completely impossible. However, just now, the other party was able to discern that there was a silver needle within his body, and moreover, it was in his lung, which was quite remarkable.

His figure has already disappeared, but the cold voice still penetrated into Shen Lang's ears with the wind

"This is a huge sum of money, and you cannot possibly take it out," Tian Heng continued.

As soon as these words were spoken, the warrior's sword was positioned three inches above Shen Lang's neck

Tian Hong squinted his eyes and said: "You are definitely not foolish"

The original Shen Lang was truly beyond redemption, having fallen for a woman like Xu Qianqian, to the extent of disregarding his own parents. Such a foolish waste of a person is hardly worthy of the affection his parents have lavished upon him

Ordinary people would have long since cried out in despair, losing control completely, but Shen Lang remained very calm. At first, he stared at Tian Heng's face, then he scrutinized his entire body from top to bottom, his gaze appearing quite peculiar

Is this the legendary Shen Lang, known for his low intelligence? How absurd this is

He soon devised a method that not only could earn him a substantial amount of money, but also protect his family, and most importantly, take revenge on the Xu family

However, this has become troublesome; the other party cannot remove this needle. With Shen Lang's remarkable medical skills not being put to use, this transaction cannot be completed

But what Shen Lang is concerned about is not the interest, but his father's injury

Shen Lang continued, "That needle is currently in the major artery of your lung, and it will move with the flow of blood. If it is not removed, once it enters your brain, you will die"

While writing, I couldn't help but complain internally, what a ridiculous cheat this is, there is simply no money to use, in the end, it is still gold coins that save the day

A typical family works hard for a year but can hardly save up to two gold coins. Using the most rudimentary calculation method, one thousand gold coins is roughly equivalent to three million RMB in modern Earth currency

Shen Lang has an impression of this brutal man, as he has seen him several times

There is a story within this

"Alright, it's settled then," Shen Lang said

Shen Lang understood this statement; someone had long ago provided a sum of money for Tian Heng to carry out these tasks, but a legitimate reason was also needed. Therefore, the excuse of debt collection and exterminating an entire family was quite suitable.

This is much harsher than usury, as the principal and interest combined have increased twentyfold in just three months

He also holds another official identity, that of the leader of the militia in Xuanwu City

Then, he shook his head and said, "But I am very sorry, I cannot agree to your request"

Shen Lang understood that Tian Heng had also agreed with the other party to a period of three days. Within three days, if he killed Shen Lang, he would receive one hundred gold coins

Tian Hongdao: "Your younger brother owes us a sum of money"

Shen Lang said: "This fine needle must be removed, otherwise you will surely die, only I can help you take it out"

Three months ago, your father was injured. In order to treat him, your brother borrowed five gold coins from my shop to pay the doctor. Now, with interest compounded, it has amounted to one hundred gold coins

Shen Lang's gaze narrowed; he had initially believed that this transaction was very secure. Even if someone offered money for Tian Heng to kill him, money was not as important as life. Shen Lang could save Tian Heng's life, and there was no reason for him not to agree, no reason not to let Shen Lang go

This person is named Tian Heng, a notorious gang leader known within a radius of one hundred miles. He commands over a hundred desperate criminals and operates gambling dens, brothels, and loan sharking businesses. He is ruthless and brutal, having killed an unknown number of people

Achieving three benefits with one action

... ...

I am very moved. Tian Heng said: "Indeed, I am very moved. However... your family is so poor that you cannot even afford a meal, your father is still lying in bed, your younger brother has had his legs broken by someone, and you cannot produce even a single gold coin, let alone one thousand gold coins"

Shen Lang, remember this: within three days, one thousand gold coins, otherwise your entire family will be killed

But the condition is that I spare your life, right?" Tian Heng said: "Don't you want to know who ordered me to kill you?

Younger brother owes money

In this world, how much is one thousand gold coins worth

Then, Tian Heng left directly with three other warriors

Tian Hong looked at Shen Lang for a long time and said: "They all say you are a fool, but it doesn't seem that way."

All of this is the result of the sins committed by Shen Lang, whose foolishness and the cruelty of the Xu family have caused my father and younger brother to suffer severe injuries, even putting their lives in jeopardy

No problem. Shen Lang's mind was racing.

The man is in his thirties, with two scars on his face. His expression is cold, and his gaze is cruel. He is wearing soft armor.

Shen Lang said: "But you can take a gamble; if you succeed, you will be able to earn a fortune. Even if you fail, you will only be delaying my death by a few days, which will not hinder you from obtaining the one hundred gold coins from the Xu family."

Those individuals began to push Shen Lang into the pit and started to bury him with soil

Tian Heng was even more astonished, unable to believe as he asked: "How do you know?"

"Deliver 1,000 gold coins within three days, or I will kill your entire family." Tian Heng said: "Shisan, Shisi, you two will escort Young Master Shen Lang home, and stay with him for these three days."

Tian Hong stared at Shen Lang's handsome face, hesitated for a long while, and finally spoke: "Three days, I can only give you three days!"

"Because your family cannot repay this sum of money, that is why I buried you alive, and it has nothing to do with anyone else, do you understand?" Tian Heng said: "Of course, for the sake of realism, we will also demolish your house, and deal with your younger brother and your parents as well"

Shen Lang shook his head and said, "I don't need to ask to know who it is"

Shen Lang directly tore a piece from the white silk underwear, bit his own finger, and used his blood to write an IOU, owing Tian Heng 1,000 gold coins, and then signed his name.

Tian Hong took the blood-written IOU, and then looked at Shen Lang for a while

He observes with an X-ray vision, a gaze that sends chills down one's spine

Shen Lang said: "I can help you take it out"

In this way, there is only one reason

Tian Hong could no longer contain his curiosity and raised his hand. Immediately, his four subordinates stopped shoveling the dirt

It is the two samurai codes.

Shen Lang said: "There is a needle inside your body; if it is not removed, it may pose a threat to your life"
