Jiang Xiao used violence to coerce him into finding something like a compass; if he didn't find it for him, he would kill Old Wang.
After hearing what Lao Wang said, Lao Liu was deeply moved and could not calm down for a long time.
In other words.
If the other party doesn't reason with you and you don't give them the item, they'll beat you up until it breaks. Old Liu really can't handle this kind of situation!
The other party's methods were so brutal, so I had no other choice.
As for Lao Wang
Well, there's no point in blaming him now. After all, he was just trying to survive, and Lao Liu can understand that.
Just as Jiang Xiao was getting impatient waiting outside.
The two people inside came out carrying a wooden box.
Inside the box is an antique-looking jade pendant.
Compared to Old Wang's compass, this jade pendant is clearly more like an old artifact passed down from his ancestors.
"Honesty?"
"Guaranteed! Definitely guaranteed! You'll see once you hold it in your hand. Old Liu's jade pendant can nourish the mind and calm the spirit, regulating qi and blood. It's much better than my junk that I don't even know how to use!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiao held it in his hand and felt it; it was indeed as he had said.
it is good!
This can be kept for Sun Wei, so she can wear it!
"Well, I'm not an unreasonable person. I don't know the market price either, so how about this: I'll pay you all at once after I collect the rest of the items?"
How could Lao Liu dare to say no?
At the same time, Old Wang whispered to his old friend.
“That Jiang Xiao is really stingy. He only gave me two thousand yuan for that item of mine. Don’t get your hopes up too high.”
two thousand?
Old Liu's face darkened, but there was nothing he could do. He had already given him the item; even a small amount was still something.
"Well, I don't care about the money. After all, I initially thought he was robbing me. I'm just worried..."
"Are you worried about that troublemaker, Lao Zhao?"
Old Liu nodded; no one knew Old Zhao's stubbornness better than they did.
At that point, he would probably rather be beaten up, be executed by clenched arms, or even be killed than hand over what he has.
"Well, let's just take it one step at a time. We old buddies will give him some advice when the time comes."
That's all.
Jiang Xiao then continued to make moves.
They received a bead from Old Li.
He also got a jade futon from Lao Qian.
To be honest, Jiang Xiao hadn't expected the jade futon.
At first, Lao Qian was unwilling, but after being beaten up by Jiang Xiao in front of the other three, he became obedient.
At the same time, it also revealed the terrifying methods of this young man to the others.
It was a one-sided massacre; Old Qian didn't even have a chance to fight back.
Next up is the toughest nut to crack, Old Zhao.
Old Zhao was an elderly man with short, coarse hair and a resolute face.
The beard hairs stand up one by one, and it seems that ordinary razors can't shave them.
His entire demeanor was as hard as steel.
The moment Jiang Xiao saw Lao Zhao, he knew that what Lao Wang had just said was true; this Lao Zhao might really be someone who would rather die than submit.
Hard enough!

As expected, Lao Zhao refused on the spot and even cursed at Lao Wang and the others!
"Old Zhao! Listen to what we have to say to you."
Old Wang and Old Liu greeted Jiang Xiao, then pulled Old Zhao inside for a detailed discussion.
Knowing Old Zhao's stubbornness, Old Wang didn't waste any words and directly began to demonstrate his weaknesses. At the same time, Old Qian, with his bruised and swollen face, could also corroborate that Jiang Xiao's strength was terrifyingly high.
After listening to their explanations, Old Zhao nodded thoughtfully.
"So, according to you, if I don't give him the thing, he'll not only turn me into a eunuch, but he'll also beat me up?"
The group nodded hastily.
"Is there no law left? How could he commit such a robbery in broad daylight?!"
"But, might makes right."
Old Wang looked aggrieved; after all, nobody wants to get beaten up, right?
"Heh, you're just giving away our ancestors' things like that?"
"It wasn't given away for free; he said he would pay for it."
Old Liu offered a weak explanation.
"Buy it with money? How much can he afford? Besides, this is something from our ancestors; can it be measured in money?"
Old Wang didn't dare to speak, because Jiang Xiao really couldn't give him much money, only two thousand yuan.
"Let him kill me if he dares! Don't even mention castrating me, even if you nail my fingernails, even if you make me sit on the tiger bench, even if you cut me into a thousand pieces or torture me to death, if I, Old Zhao, beg for mercy, I'm not human!"
Old Wang and the others had tried everything to persuade Old Zhao, but he remained unmoved and even took a pair of scissors and went outside.
He threw the scissors at Jiang Xiao's feet and said domineeringly.
"Don't use your unsterilized boning knife, use these scissors. This thing works well, I just sharpened it yesterday. Come on, use it to castrate me, and see if I can groan even once today!"
Old Wang and his companions were all meek and submissive, never expecting their old friend to have such high aspirations.
Jiang Xiao was also taken aback. He could tell that Old Zhao wasn't just talking nonsense; he genuinely didn't take his Kiel seriously.
After threatening to have Jiang Xiao cut off his kilt, Old Zhao glanced back at Old Wang and the others with disdain.
"Look at you spineless cowards! Do you have any respect for your ancestors? Losing your head is just a scar the size of a bowl, what's there to be afraid of! What hardships haven't we old buddies endured? We were just worthless lives to begin with, what does it matter if we die?"
What a passionate, righteous, and valiant man!
Not to mention Old Wang and the others who were blushing from his sarcastic remarks, even Jiang Xiao had to give him a thumbs up in his heart!
"Fine, I don't really need this anyway. In this world, there aren't many tough guys like you. So be it, I won't touch you."
Surprisingly, Jiang Xiao did not take any strong measures, which surprised everyone.
At the same time, he was filled with regret, wishing he had acted more assertively like Lao Zhao had.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.
"Hey? You guys, don't go! I haven't paid yet."
Old Liu and his companions, who were about to leave, stopped in their tracks. Although the money wasn't much, every little bit counted.
"Five thousand each, I didn't bring much with me this time. Old Wang, don't just stand there like an idiot. Even though you look like a faded beauty, let's keep things separate. I still want to thank you for leading the way today. You get five thousand too."
Old Liu and his companions all froze on the spot, their eyes wide open, seemingly unable to believe what they were seeing.
Old Zhao in the courtyard snorted coldly, thinking to himself, "These good-for-nothings, they're so happy over five thousand yuan?"
Although Lao Zhao was poor, or rather, all of his old friends were poor, Lao Zhao didn't think five thousand yuan was much. He thought it was nothing special and wondered why he was so shocked.
Ok?
Why are those hands so golden?
Old Zhao tiptoed and carefully examined the bill in Jiang Xiao's hand. He was instantly petrified, just like Old Liu and the others.
Golden ticket!
Is that five thousand in gold notes?!
Five hundred thousand?!
No way, Wang Defa!
Seeing that the group was standing still, Jiang Xiao thought that he hadn't given them enough, so he took out a few more two-thousand-yuan bills.
"Not enough? Then I'll add another two thousand?"
"Gulu~"
The old men swallowed hard, their legs trembling, and for a moment they forgot to think, their minds going completely blank.
Still not enough?
