My Sisters Excel in Both Literary and Martial Arts - Chapter 1178
[Chapter 1142: Be more respectful]
After trembling with anger, Prefect Xu looked at Jing Zhe.
“President Jing won’t ask me for fifteen thousand taels again, will he?”
After saying that, Prefect Xu began to think in his mind. Because Jiangling has a superior geographical location and the prefect is one level higher than the prefect, so in his position, he has more than 10,000 taels. Many people covet it.
When he first became the prefect, his mentor Bai Qingyuan had told him that compared with this official position, other things were insignificant, so he should not let the small gain lead to the big loss.
He still remembers this sentence. Bai Qingyuan was beating him in disguise to make him stop being greedy. He did indeed do it. On the surface, he had never plundered anything from the people. Therefore, some officials in other places have been dismissed over the years. Only he didn’t.
However, after working as an official for a long time, he gradually became more courageous. He felt that money should not be greedy, as long as he did it more cautiously and not be discovered by others, so he joined forces with Master Kongjing to collect incense. money operations.
Counting over the years, he has collected a total of more than 10,000 taels of silver from Peach Blossom Temple. The most is only 15,000 taels, which is far less than 20,000 taels. However, he must spend the money he has collected. Until now, He only had about ten thousand taels left in his hand.
He had already given 5,000 taels to Jing Zhe just now, and now he only had 5,000 taels of silver in his hand. If Jing Zhe wanted another 15,000 taels of silver, he would not be able to get it even if he were killed. Looking at Jing Zhe’s condition, If you can’t get it, you might really be beaten to death by him.
After weighing the balance, if he really wanted it, he would grit his teeth and agree, and then go out and lend him ten thousand taels – he had been an official for many years, and he knew all the owners of the major shops in the city. It would be better to borrow one thousand eight hundred taels from each of them. No problem.
However, when he finally collected fifteen thousand taels, he would have to be careful when giving it to Jing Zhe. He would hand over the money with one hand and write it in blood with the other. If Jing Zhe didn’t give it, he wouldn’t be able to give him any more money.
Unexpectedly, Jing Zhe shook his head directly: “I don’t want the money anymore.”
“…”
Prefect Xu was a little worried, because for him, it was more difficult for Jing Zhe not to ask for money than to ask for money.
At this time, Jing Zhe reached into his arms and took out the letter of guarantee written by Mrs. Feng before. He waved it in front of Prefect Xu and said, “Prefect Xu, didn’t we say on it that the purchase of Feng’s restaurant will cost fifteen thousand taels? You don’t have to give me the fifteen thousand taels, just give it to the Feng family. Just hand over the deed of the Feng family restaurant to me before noon tomorrow.”
After saying that, he stood up and handed over the blood letter and the guarantee letter. He put it away and said, “Prefect Xu must remember it. I want to see the house deed before noon tomorrow. If I can’t see it, I believe Prefect Xu doesn’t want to see the consequences!”
Jing Zhe left these words. Walk away.
Looking at Jing Zhe’s back, Prefect Xu clenched his fists.
However, this result is not too bad for him, because when Jing Zhe said that he would buy Feng’s restaurant with fifteen thousand taels, he discussed with Mrs. Feng and told Feng Huanyou that Jing Zhe forcibly bought Feng’s restaurant with five thousand taels. family restaurant, and then he and Mrs. Feng earned ten thousand taels!
Now that he can’t earn more than 10,000 taels, he still has to pay 5,000 taels to Feng’s Restaurant to buy it for Jing Zhe. For this, Prefect Xu doesn’t think it’s too bad, which shows how low his requirements have been.
However, this was not a solution for him. He had no other choice but to agree. What he was thinking now was that he should not anger Jing Zhe during this period, so he should stabilize him first and save his own life. Besides, as for money and other external things, there will be plenty of them in the future.
And he also firmly believes what Bai Qingyuan told him, Jing Zhe won’t be able to jump around for a few more days, and when the time comes, he will get back double the things he took from him!
Although he thought so, he still felt uncomfortable, so Xu Taishou called a policeman from outside and asked: “How is the notice?”
“Go back to the Taishou, some of it has been written.”
“Hurry up and finish it every time.
Post a copy
at
every intersection. By the way, ask someone to post it on the street, saying that Jing Zhe is a relative of the Lin family and lives in the Lin family now. He is just an ordinary official.
To leave, Prefect Xu immediately called him down again.
“Wait! Remember, we must not let people from our yamen do this…just find some children! And we must hide it!”
“Yes, prefect!”
The policeman agreed, closed the door and left.
Only then did Governor Xu narrow his eyes, with a long-lost sinister smile on his face: Although I can’t do anything to you, someone can…
Coming
out of the Yamen, Jing Zhe felt refreshed.
They say it is a waste of money. Not only did he buy the Feng Family Restaurant with nothing, but he also made five thousand taels for nothing – of course, he wanted to earn more than just these five thousand taels. After he got the house deed, he There is even more to be earned…
Jing Zhe took out his banknote and looked at it again. He suddenly felt that the money he had worked so hard for in the restaurant business was not coming in as fast as this, which made him feel a little sad.
All the way back to Lin’s house, the servant at the door of Lin’s house already knew Jing Zhe and let him go directly.
When Jing Zhe walked to the backyard, he saw Qingqiu’s figure in the distance. He ducked behind her and patted her butt which was not very upturned.
“Pa!”
Although it wasn’t loud enough, the sound was loud enough.
Then, Qingqiu turned around, holding her buttocks, and stared at Jing Zhe with a resentful expression.
In fact, it seems that Qingqiu’s behavior is a bit abnormal. After all, any woman who is suddenly patted like this will definitely jump up in excitement – at least she will yell, right?
But Qingqiu behaved calmly enough, but this was her most normal reaction, because in Qingqiu’s current state, she could hear the movement even if Jing Zhe bent down, and the entire Lin family dared to get so close to her. , besides Jing Zhe, who else?
It’s just that she knew Jing Zhe was coming, but she just pretended not to know.
“What are you doing?”
Qingqiu said with some dissatisfaction. As he spoke, he looked to both sides with a wary expression and a guilty conscience in his eyes.
“Say hello to Third Sister!”
As soon as these words came out, Qingqiu was even more dissatisfied.
Holding his hands in front of his chest, Qingqiu said coldly: “Is this the way you greet women? Do you greet other women like this when you meet them?”
Jing Zhehun didn’t care and smiled: “Of course not, when you meet Naturally, different people have different ways of saying hello, and this method is tailor-made for Third Sister!”
Jing Zhe finished with a smile, then stretched out his hand and took a step forward, wanting to hug Qingqiu into his arms. , based on his understanding of Qingqiu, she should be very obedient and get into his arms next.
However, things are not as simple as he thought.
When his hand was about to touch Qingqiu, Qingqiu suddenly dodged away.
“Be more respectful!”
“…”
