Chapter 917: A Lure (4)

Excellency Ersha, I guarantee on my honor that I wont go back on my word. Will that do? The Patriarchs frown deepened and his expression darkened. However, he still had to coax this Ersha nicely. Sigh! Who asked this Ersha to cure the poison in his Wen family!

Tsk! How much is it worth? Can it help me cultivate? I want money and crystals. Zheng En did not compromise. In any case, he was confident. Moreover, he believed that the head of the Wen family would definitely give him money unless the Wen family really did not intend to save the other clansmen.

Patriarch Wen, youd better pay me within three days. Otherwise, Ill really go on strike, Zheng En reminded him very cautiously. After saying that, he patted his b.u.t.t and left the main hall, leaving the Patriarch Wen sitting alone in the main seat, fuming.

After the Sixth Elder and the others returned from the Fan familys Divine Realm, they saw the family head sitting on the main seat with a dark expression.

They did not understand and were all a little uneasy. They could not help but guess in their hearts. Could it be that the family head was angry because of the Fan family?

Patriarch, were back, the Sixth Elder said helplessly when he saw the elders winking at him.

Yes, the head of the Wen family replied calmly.

Patriarch, the Fan family is famous for being unreasonable. You really dont have to be angry with them, Sixth Elder comforted.

Im not angry with them. By the way, did you find those herbs when you went to the Fan family? The Patriarch pretended to be calm and asked.

Patriarch, Fan Rui refused to admit that he had done this, so we didnt find the herbs. The Sixth Elder said gloomily. Sigh! He really didnt expect that Fan Rui would still dare to renege on the evidence. How outrageous.

What did the Fan family say? Patriarch Wen continued to ask. In fact, he had expected this.

The Fan family promised to help us gather the same herbs in three days. However, we have to pay at least half of the money, said the Sixth Elder. Although he was angry, he was also helpless about this outcome. Sigh! He couldnt fight with the Fan family over this matter!

Thats the only thing we can do now. Lets remember this debt for the Fan family. Well get back at them when we have the chance in the future. The Patriarch thought for a moment and said. The most important thing now was to obtain the herbs, so everything else could be postponed. However, there was one thing that was a little troublesome!

That idiot Zheng wants us to pay him. Otherwise, he will go on strike. The Patriarch sighed and said.

What? The Sixth Elder was also a little surprised when he heard the family heads words. It had to be known that the reward their Wen family had promised to give Zheng Ersha was not a small sum! Furthermore, their Wen family was currently in need of money, so this was really a headache. Uh! Could it be that the family heads face was dark because of this matter?

Thinking of this, the Sixth Elder could not help but ask carefully, Patriarch, are you angry because of this?

The Patriarch scratched his head and said helplessly, Thats right! Even though the Wen family has a deep foundation, there arent many funds that can be transferred. You should know this, right? And recently, weve spent a lot of money buying herbs. Therefore, if we pay Zheng Ersha now, Im afraid well be even more tight on money. Sigh!

Thats right! Why dont we send someone to have a good talk with him? Our Wen family is big and powerful. We wont go back on our word, the Sixth Elder probed.

Its useless. That fool is very stubborn. He made it very clear that he was afraid that we would have no money to pay him if we bought all the herbs. Thats why he asked us to pay first. In addition, he wants us to hand over the money to him in three days. The Wen family heads face was filled with worry.

Patriarch, why dont we give him the money first! Otherwise, if he really goes on strike, our clansmen will be hopeless. The Sixth Elder was very worried.

Sigh! Thats the only way. The Patriarch was at his wits end. He was also afraid that Ersha would really go on strike!

On the third day, the Wen family sent the herbs and the payment to Zheng En.

Ye Chen and Zheng Ens residence.

In the room.

Zheng Enqing tapped the crystal in the ring and frowned. Then, he said unhappily, Butler, this reward isnt right!

Uh! Well, since Excellency Ershas work isnt finished yet, we can only pay you part of the payment. When youve finished all the work, the rest will naturally be paid to you. We wont renege on the payment. Dont worry, the Head butler said carefully, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. Of course, he had thought of this himself. In fact, he was to be paid in full, but he had been robbed on the way here

Oh, since this is only the remuneration for the initial work, I wont do the rest. Zheng En smiled faintly and said disapprovingly. Hmph! The Wen family was really too insincere. In that case, dont blame him for being too ruthless.

Excellency Ersha, you cant do this! The Head Butler panicked when he heard this. If the family head found out about this, he wouldnt let him off. Boohoo What should he do?!

Hmph! You forced me to do this, Zheng En said angrily. Who didnt know how to be unreasonable!

Excellency Ersha, we can discuss things. Please dont go on strike! the Head Butler hurriedly said.

Its too late. Im angry now. I dont want to see you again. After Zheng En finished speaking, he raised his leg and kicked the butler ruthlessly

There was a loud thud as the butler flew out of the room and across the courtyard wall. Yet another loud thud was heard as he fell somewhere.

Ye Chen and Zheng En naturally didnt care about the whereabouts of the Head Butler. After kicking him away, the two of them acted as if nothing had happened and went about their business.

In the main hall of the Wen family.

The Patriarch sat at the head of the table, while the elders sat below him. At this moment, they looked at the wet head butler with very strange gazes. They were even more puzzled. Uh! Didnt the head butler go to deliver money and medicinal herbs to Zheng Ersha? Why did he look like this? Could it be that the butler had slacked off and went swimming?

Patriarch The Head Butler cried out before kneeling on the ground and wailed.
