"Deputy Master, there is not a single monk in the outer hall of Changming Temple. It seems that he was scared away by us." A disciple came to report, "There is the sound of pipa and flute in the backyard. The person we are looking for should be there.

There, the disciples have surrounded the place, and no trace of any master has been found yet."

"It seems I'm worrying too much." Zhou Pingdou laughed and said, "Let's go."

When Zhou Pingdou stepped into the small courtyard, he saw Ling Daier and others.

"No wonder that boy is impatient." After seeing the appearance of Ling Dai'er and the seven maids, he thought to himself.

"It seems that you are the person in charge, right?" Ling Daier signaled Pipa and Yuxiao to stop, glanced at Zhou Pingdou and asked.

"That's right, it's me. I didn't expect you to be so calm. It's rare." Zhou Pingdou said as he kept looking around.

Here were Ling Daier and her seven maids, which made him a little confused.

Could it be that the Ling family didn't send other guests or guards to protect her?

"Don't look, there's no one else here." Ling Dai'er sighed, "If I had known better, I shouldn't have been so petty as to drive away all the guests' guards."

The doubts in Zhou Pingdou's heart have not completely receded.

But he really didn't find any trace of anyone else here.

"Little girl, you'd better not play tricks, otherwise~~~"

"There are so many of you, what can we do? Who are you?" Ling Daier said.

Before Zhou Pingdou could answer, Ling Daier sighed: "Forget it, I'm not interested in who you are. Tell me how much silver you want."

"Haha~~" Hearing Ling Dai'er's words, Zhou Pingdou couldn't help laughing, "As expected of Ling Jiuchou's daughter, her words are so grand. How much silver? One million taels of silver, will you give it?"

"Okay!" Ling Daier replied without hesitation.

"Huh?" Zhou Pingdou was shocked.

He just said one million taels, so he just said it casually.

Unexpectedly, Ling Daier actually agreed.

"Girl, did you hear clearly?" Zhou Pingdou asked.

"One million taels, I can give it to you." Ling Dai'er said, "But you have to promise not to hurt me at all."

"Haha~~~" Zhou Pingdou laughed and said, "Little girl, do you think it's possible?"

"Oh?" Ling Daier raised her eyebrows and asked, "Isn't that too young?"

"Another hundred thousand taels?"

"Two hundred thousand taels?"

"Not enough? Add one million taels?"

"Two million?"

Ling Daier didn't give Zhou Pingdou a chance to speak out, and kept raising the price.

"Five million taels, a total of five million taels, is this ransom enough?" Ling Daier finally stopped.

Zhou Pingdou was shocked and came back to his senses.

He found that he had been shocked by this girl's aura just now.

Although he knew that the Ling family was the richest man in Jiangnan East Road, people like Ling Daier who raised prices like this seemed to have picked up the money.

Five million taels, after living for so many years, he dare not even think about becoming the deputy leader of a sect.

But it came out casually from this girl's mouth.

Zhou Pingdou found that all the disciples around him had their eyes straightened, and he was also like this. They were obviously shocked by the five million taels.

This actually made him a little embarrassed.

This time the Dou family asked him for help, and they were willing to offer one million taels of silver as a token of gratitude.

But now there is a huge difference from what Ling Daier promised.

Someone on the side noticed the change in Zhou Pingdou's expression.

He glanced back and saw that Dou Tiangong and Dou Wu were still in the front hall and had not come over, so he approached Zhou Pingdou and whispered: "Deputy leader, please take a step to speak."

Zhou Pingdou glanced at his confidant, nodded, and the two of them walked aside.

"Deputy Head, this girl's price is too high. If you still agree to the Dou family's conditions, the disciples below may feel unhappy," said the confidant.

Of course Zhou Pingdou understood this.

It is unreasonable to give up five million taels and only want one million taels.

Although I definitely account for the majority, for the people below me, if I get more, they will naturally get more.

No one has trouble with money.

Although you are the deputy leader, if you want the people below to obey you, in addition to being strong, you must also be kind and powerful.

Giving money is the most direct and effective way.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Zhou Pingdou said, "Dou Tiangong and I are old friends."

This close friend couldn't help but secretly despise him.

He knew that Zhou Pingdou had an idea in his mind, and he just wanted to express it.

It's just that the other party is the deputy leader after all, so it's up to him to do this evil thing.

"Sir, I will handle this matter. I just need to explain this girl's price to Dou Tiangong. I believe he will know what to do."

"Well, let's do it." Zhou Pingdou nodded and said, "Tell him, for the sake of old friends, I will settle it at five million taels. No matter how much higher that girl is, I will

I won’t pay attention to it.”

"I understand, I understand, the little one will go right away."

After watching the people around Zhou Pingdou retreat, Ling Daier sneered in her heart.

How could she not know their little thoughts?

"Isn't that enough?" Ling Daier asked, staring at Zhou Pingdou.

"Little girl, you are just talking nonsense. When you say five million taels, is it just five million taels?" Zhou Pingdou replied.

"As long as you keep me safe, these five million taels will be given to you. For our Ling family, this is just a drop in the bucket."

The surrounding Perak disciples exclaimed in surprise.

They have finally seen what it means to be rich and wealthy.

Five million taels is like five hundred taels in Ling Dai'er's mouth.

In fact, for ordinary Perak disciples, five hundred taels is a lot of money.

"There is some truth, I have to think about it."

"Still thinking about that six million taels?"

Hearing that Ling Dai'er had increased the price again, Zhou Pingdou's heart twitched violently.

This girl is really killing people.

Zhou Pingdou was very moved, but did not immediately reply to Ling Daier.

It's not that he doesn't believe that the Ling family doesn't have so much money, it's just that if the Ling family really wants to pay for such a large sum of money, there's no guarantee that the Ling family's guests will take action.

A master who could seriously injure Tong Fu, no matter how confident he, Zhou Pingdou, was, he could never be their opponent.

Therefore, he still has self-awareness in his heart. Even if Ling Daier promises to give him so much silver, whether he can get it or not is still a question.

In this case, we must choose a safe way, which is to use this to give the Dou family another blow. I believe they dare not refuse to give it.

Dou Tiangong and Dou Wu are here in the front hall. They did not follow Zhou Pingdou to the small courtyard just now.

They don't want to reveal their identity so soon, after all, the matter has not been completely settled yet.

After Zhou Pingdou, a close confidant, told Ling Daier's price, how could Dou Tiangong not understand Zhou Pingdou's thoughts.

He cursed endlessly in his heart, calling Zhou Pingdou shameless and greedy.

However, facing this matter, he had no choice but to accept Zhou Pingdou's blackmail.

"What?" At this time, a disciple of the Perak Sect came over and whispered in the ear of this confidant.

"What's wrong?" Dou Tiangong's heart was raised. What will happen again?

The five million taels made him feel heartbroken.

It's not that the Dou family can't come up with the money, it's mainly because they have spent a lot of money secretly dealing with the Sun family in recent years.
