Chapter 457: The Evil Spirit
There were about a hundred farmers, all waving sickles or hoes, looking extremely angry.
Surrounded by them was a young man in brocade clothes, with a few followers. He stood there with his hands folded, looking indifferent.
Facing the angry shouting of the farmers in front of him, the young man smiled nonchalantly and said, "I don't care whether you are hungry or hungry, this is the price this year."
"Send the herbs to Tiandan Palace within seven days. If anyone thinks the price is too low, you don't have to sell it, but you will have to eat even more in the next year."
The young man's tone was full of self-righteous arrogance.
"Too much, too much."
"Who else in Shadow Moon Valley dares to buy our herbs except Tiandan Palace? Aren't they deliberately leaving us without food for the next year?"
"They did it on purpose, deliberately lowering the price of buying herbs year after year, relying on the fact that they are the only ones in Shadow Moon Valley who buy our herbs."
The farmers shouted even more excitedly, waving sickles and hoes one by one, and seemed to be very excited.
The young man in gorgeous clothes sneered and said, "I didn't expect that you are so brave. You dare to act so presumptuous in front of this young master. Do you want this young master to send people to arrest all of you?"
Although there are many people on the side of the farmers, they are all ordinary people, just a little stronger at most. And this young man is the fifth level of the transformation realm, which is equivalent to a group of ants surrounding an elephant. No matter how many there are, they cannot pose any threat to the elephant.
The young man threatened the group of farmers who were making trouble to arrest them, not just to show off his power, but to calm them down and let them continue to grow herbs for Tiandan Palace willingly. Otherwise, why would it be so troublesome? Just kill them directly.
As expected, when the farmers heard that they were going to be arrested, they were so scared that their faces turned pale. Several people dropped their sickles and hoes on the spot, knelt down, and begged: "Mr. Liang, please give us a way out. We have elderly parents and children to take care of, and we don't want to be arrested."
"Mr. Liang, please go back and tell Deacon Ma to have mercy and raise the price of purchasing herbs to the same as last year. Otherwise, the purchase price of herbs is lower than the cost now, and we are really going to starve to death."
"Mr. Liang, please have mercy."
More and more people dropped their sickles and hoes and kowtowed to the young man, including some trembling old men.
"Get out!"
The young man had no mercy at all. He kicked the man kneeling at his feet and rolled him out.
"Get up now and go collect herbs for me. Within seven days, send all the herbs in this medicinal field to Tiandan Palace. If one herb is missing, I will hold you responsible." The young man in fancy clothes threatened fiercely.
"Mr. Liang, is Tiandan Palace going to force us into a dead end?" Several young farmers raised their heads, their eyes red, like injured trapped beasts, staring at the young man in fancy clothes fiercely and asked.
The young man snorted coldly and said, "Whether you are going into a dead end is none of my business. If you don't do things for me, I will send people to arrest you and make you die!"
"Remember, you only have seven days, hurry up and collect!"
The young man added, looking at the group of farmers with disgust in his eyes. In his view, these sweaty farmers were just tools for him to make money. They had no human rights and were equivalent to slaves. If they died, he would just replace them with another batch.
After saying this, the young man waved his hand and left with his lackeys in a proud manner.
Su Chen understood when he saw this. These farmers were hired by Tiandan Palace to help them grow herbs, and the young man in brocade clothes was responsible for collecting the herbs when they matured, but he pushed the price of the herbs to a level lower than the cost, so the farmers naturally had opinions.
"What an arrogant guy, is he going to force those farmers to death?"
Xue Yong came out of the carriage at some point, and saw this scene with a look of indignation.
He turned to Su Chen and said, "Mr. Chen, that man is too much. He is willing to force people to death in order to make money. I apply to teach that guy a lesson."
"Go." Su Chen smiled faintly.
Xue Yong immediately jumped off the carriage and went towards the group of people.
When he was bathing in the magic spring before, his cultivation level increased by two levels at once, and now he is at the fourth level of the transformation realm. In addition, his amazing physique and the ability to challenge higher levels, he is fully confident that he can go head-to-head with the young man at the fifth level of the transformation realm, and it is just right to test his current combat power.
Of course, Xue Yong's biggest confidence comes from Su Chen behind him.
No matter what happens, Young Master Chen will take care of it.
Su Chen also got off the carriage, put his hands behind his back, followed Xue Yong, and walked slowly in that direction.
Gu Qianyin and the other two girls in the carriage also opened the curtain and watched from inside the carriage. Since even Su Chen showed up, there was no need for them to join in the fun, just watch from the side.
"Young Master Liang, please stay!"
Seeing that the young man in brocade clothes was about to leave, the peasants immediately became anxious and got up one by one to chase him.
Some of the fast runners rushed to the young man and knelt down to hug his legs.
"Get lost!"
The young man was furious, as if his legs were stained with something extremely dirty. He stretched out his legs and kicked the people who were hugging his legs away, with a murderous look on his face, "You lowly and lowly people, dare to touch me with your dirty bodies, are you tired of living?"
"Break their dirty hands for me!"
At the young man's command, the ferocious lackeys immediately surrounded him and tried to catch the people who had just hugged the young man's thighs.
"Don't touch Daddy! Don't touch Daddy!"
Two young children, a boy and a girl, ran up quickly from behind and blocked one of the farmers. They raised their two stern little faces and said, "This is our daddy, you are not allowed to touch him!"
The lackeys saw that they were two innocent children and hesitated for a moment.
However, the young man in brocade clothes snorted immediately and said, "Didn't you guys eat? Why are you dragging your feet when it comes to beating someone up? Do you need me to teach you a lesson first?"
The lackeys trembled all over, and immediately dared not drag their feet, and walked towards the two children.
At this point, the farmers finally couldn't bear it anymore, and their anger was finally ignited.
"Beasts, they can kill such a young child?"
"Why don't we just go together and fight them!"
