"This resulted in the deaths of one of our Liangshan leaders and over three hundred soldiers."

"This is what happened to him!"

"Previously, this 'Dragon of the Sea' came from Liangshan Salt Village,"

"The coarse salt we seized was all sold cheaply to wealthy families in Dengzhou,"

"My brother is giving you a choice now,"

Within three days,

"Make up the difference of 150,000 strings of cash for the shortfall in the price of coarse salt!"

"Otherwise, this is the fate that will befall you!"

"Don't think you're safe just because you're hiding in Dengzhou City!"

.....

After Liangshan received this shout,

Immediately order the entire city of Dengzhou to...

Panic ensued.

Dengzhou learned of the prefecture,

Looking at the severed head of the sea dragon hanging there,

Who would dare to even think of resisting?

He immediately summoned all the wealthy and powerful families in Dengzhou Prefecture.

They were asked to raise the money immediately.

Make up the money for the salt from Liangshan!

But the money that's already in my pocket,

These wealthy and powerful families,

Why would it want to escape again?

They immediately started looking for various reasons.

You push me,

I pushed him.

Finally, Dengzhou learned of the prefecture.

Half an hour of my words were wasted.

They only managed to scrape together a little over 20,000 strings of cash.

"hehe,"

The prefect of Dengzhou was also furious.

His face was ashen as he stared at the wealthy families before him.

"Fine, since none of you are willing to pay,"

"Then I won't interfere!"

"Sun Li, the military commander in Dengzhou, just escaped some time ago,"

"There isn't even a single skilled military officer in Dengzhou City right now!"

"If Liangshan really attacks the city,"

"I'm afraid it will only take two or three days to accomplish this."

"At that time, I will naturally not escape death,"

"But after I descend into the underworld,"

"I'll be waiting for you all in the Yellow Springs!"

finished,

The prefect of Dengzhou stood up, his face ashen.

Instruct your subordinates to see the guests out!

Seeing that the prefect of Dengzhou seemed truly going to abandon the matter,

Only then did the wealthy and powerful families in the hall begin to panic.

That includes Mao Taigong and his son, as well as Mao's son-in-law Wang Zheng.

He had only been dead for a few days.

Their family owned land.

They had all been distributed by Liangshan to the villagers of Maojiazhuang.

These wealthy and powerful families are now hiding in Dengzhou Prefecture.

Each of them owned tens of thousands of acres of farmland outside Dengzhou City.

The entire Dengzhou

Most of them were good fields.

They are all in their hands.

On ordinary days,

The evil deeds these people have committed

Compared to that Mao Taigong and his son,

It's certainly not an exaggeration.

When Mao Taigong and his son fell into the hands of Liangshan,

The whole family is finished.

These wealthy and powerful families,

Naturally, everyone was fully aware of this.

If Liangshan really breaks through Dengzhou Prefecture...

They left the field.

Perhaps their fate will be even more tragic than that of the Mao family father and son.

"Wait, Your Excellency!"

One of the wealthy customers immediately stood up.

"My family is willing to contribute, to contribute eight thousand strings of cash!"

"My family managed to scrape together six thousand!"

"My family managed to scrape together five thousand!"

.....

The wealthy families who were just complaining bitterly,

They've finally started to be generous...

Chapter 982 Eighteen Thousand Strings of Cash!

In fact, Liangshan demanded 150,000 strings of cash.

Not many.

These wealthy and powerful families bought coarse salt from Liangshan at a low price from the Dengzhou navy.

After that, all you need to do is sell the salt.

Naturally, they can all make a fortune.

Liangshan demanded 150,000 strings of cash.

Actually, this is the normal price that salt is usually sold in Yanzhai.

These wealthy and powerful families...

Even if they managed to scrape together the money for Liangshan,

After selling that coarse salt,

You can still earn quite a bit.

But for these wealthy and powerful families,

Until the very last moment,

How could they possibly be willing?

He took the money that was already in his pocket out!

just,

What happened next

To the surprise of the wealthy,

After the numerous wealthy gentry had already raised a total of 150,000 strings of cash...

Dengzhou learned that the prefect remained silent.

He just kept his head down.

Sipping tea,

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

One wealthy gentleman couldn't help but offer a reminder.

"My lord, is that enough for 150,000 strings of cash?"

"...Is there?

The prefect looked up at the crowd with a puzzled expression.

"I've done the calculations,"

"Only 120,000 strings of cash?"

These words,

It is said that many wealthy and powerful families,

They all looked at each other in bewilderment.

They are not fools,

Naturally, he immediately understood the prefect's meaning.

This time, the money was handed over to Liangshan.

He wants to take 30,000 strings of cash from it!

"Sir, this money is for Liangshan!"

One wealthy man couldn't help but threaten,

"If Liangshan finds out..."

What does Liangshan know?

The prefect snorted coldly.

"At worst, if the city falls, we'll all perish together."

"You people,"

"You don't actually think that Liangshan will uphold justice for you, do you?"

"Stop dreaming!"
