59. IOUs and cards(1/2)

Jiang Zhen did not speak or let go, and he had no intention of softening at all. Liu Heitou was anxious, but he was afraid that this guy who was not caring about the rules would suddenly hurt him, so he could only say to Yang Jiang: "Misunderstanding, we have a little misunderstanding, Mr. Yang, it's really a misunderstanding."

What a hell! Jiang Zhen is a madman! Why didn’t he take it seriously after hearing the people in Hexi Village’s evaluation of him?!

Not to mention how annoyed and hated Liu Heitou was in his heart, he had to let himself soften first when Jiang Zhen refused to let go.

"Boss, this... is a misunderstanding." Yang Jiang said to Jiang Zhen, hoping that Jiang Zhen could let Liu Heitou go.

Although Liu Heitou called Yang Jiang "Master Yang" and called himself "Xiao Hei", he did this mainly because he was naturally afraid of the people in the government.

Except for weird things like Jiang Zhen, most people these days are afraid of the government.

However, Liu Heitou was very respectful to Yang Jiang, and Yang Jiang actually did not dare to offend Liu Heitou.

A high-ranking official from their county town is now a second-rank official in the court. The gambling house was tampered with by his brothers, and even the county magistrate dared not provoke him. Yang Jiang lost money inside and never dared to pay back the debt.

Although Liu Heitou is just a thug, he is also highly valued by the gambling manager. Yang Jiang does not want to have a conflict with him.

Jiang Zhen didn't say anything, but just signaled to Yang Jiang in a place where Liu Heitou couldn't see it.

Seeing this, Yang Jiang was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said, "Boss, I know Liu Heitou too. Since I am an acquaintance, let me let the person go first. If you have something to do, you can discuss it."

"There is nothing to discuss, get out!" Jiang Zhen seemed to give Yang Jiang a face and finally let go of Liu Heitou.

Liu Heitou glanced at Jiang Zhen with resentment and left without looking back.

He lost face this time! Even though Liu Heitou is not as proud as Yang Jiang, it is a bit difficult to accept being treated like this.

Liu Heitou and his men left quickly.

Jiang Zhen felt his malice towards him and frowned slightly, but was not particularly afraid.

Liu Heitou was obviously a thug, and thugs were never irreplaceable.

Jiang Zhen actually had something to ask Yang Jiang, but now he had to solve the problem with the Liu family first.

Seeing Liu Heitou being scared away by a few words, the Liu family had already been afraid, but Zhao Fugui, Brother Zhao Jin and others had caught them and beaten them. They were somewhat injured, but they were unable to escape now.

Jiang Zhen was holding the bloody knife that Liu Heitou had brought in his hand, which looked terrible. Liu Dacheng covered his mouth with two teeth that were bleeding, and said with difficulty: "Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings... We are here to have a wedding banquet."

"Things, we are here to have a wedding banquet." Liu Ermao also said.

"Are you here to have a wedding banquet? Where is the gift of money?" Jiang Zhen asked with his eyebrows raised.

The Liu family came to make trouble today and brought a basket and wooden barrel that they planned to get things from the Zhao family, but they just didn't get gifts.

"We forgot to take it. We will make up for it next time, and we will definitely make up for it next time." Liu Dacheng said quickly. Not only was his mouth ventilated when he spoke, but it also hurt so much that it made his tears come out.

"Really?" Jiang Zhen asked.

"Jiang Zhen, don't believe them. The words of these people are just like farting." Zhao Fugui said angrily.

"It's okay, dad, you can ask them to write an IOU." Jiang Zhen smiled.

"IOU?" Zhao Fugui was slightly stunned. Most of the people in the countryside didn't recognize their words. Even if they borrowed money, they would not write any IOU. At most, they would find a few to testify after they got to know each other.

For example, in their village, they usually ask the village chief Jiang Ping to testify.

"Yes." Jiang Zhen said, then looked at Wang Haisheng: "Go and bring the pen, ink, paper and inkstone I bought last time."

Wang Haisheng responded and immediately went to Jiang Zhen’s house to get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that Jiang Zhen bought when he was in the mansion.

When Jiang Zhen first found that most traditional Chinese characters were not known when he turned his book, he planned to learn them well, and even bought the cheapest set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

As for why you have to be very ruthless when buying the cheapest one... It is really too expensive for the pen, ink, paper and inkstone at this time.

Jiang Zhen never used this set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone. The one Wang Haisheng brought it to was brand new.

Holding these things in your hand, Jiang Zhen entered the house and then said to Wang Haisheng: "Bundle all the Liu family."

Jiang Zhen spoke, and Wang Haisheng immediately started to fight. He Chunsheng, He Xiasheng and Jiang Ming, the son of Jiang Ping who had just helped, went up to help.

Speaking of which, the village chief Jiang Ping had two sons, the eldest son Jiang Quan, who was the one who helped to supervise the construction of the house when Jiang Zhen asked the Jiang family for a house last time. He was very steady and was the heir of Jiang Ping, recognized by the villagers. The second son Jiang Ming... Seeing that he was bruised and swollen at this moment, he knew that his temperament was completely different from his father and brother.

Of course, this is also because he is not old. Jiang Ming is sixteen years old this year, and he is full of energy and has nowhere to use it. It is not surprising that he likes to fight.

"This rope cannot be tied like this..." Yang Jiang pointed at a few people next to him. He did not dare to offend Liu Heitou. These Liu family members would not take it seriously. As for tying people with ropes...

Although his skill in tying people is not as good as Jiang Zhen, he has also learned it specifically!

When Jiang Zhen polished the ink and put the paper on his mind, he planned to write, Liu Dacheng and Liu Dacheng's eldest son were tied up. The others were either young or women, but they didn't tie them.

After looking at Liu Dacheng, Jiang Zhen said, "I won't calculate the gifts for you. Even if you have ten taels of silver, you will have to compensate you if you smash my things. And you borrowed ten taels of silver at the beginning..."

Where can I get ten taels of silver for the gift? And what they eat, drink and break things, the sum of them is only two taels of silver. Jiang Zhen actually asked them to compensate ten taels?

Liu Dacheng was full of resentment, but he did not dare to refute.

Thirty taels are about thirty taels. He can always delay it. If it really doesn't work, let his parents cry... Zhao Liushi can't force his parents to pay back the money.

Liu Dacheng was thinking about this when he heard Jiang Zhen say again: "Total of 100 taels of silver, I will write an IOU, just press a handprint."

"One hundred taels?" Liu Dacheng looked at Jiang Zhen in disbelief. OK, why did he owed 100 taels of silver? One hundred taels!

"Of course it's one hundred taels, how much do you think?" Jiang Zhen sneered.

"We borrowed ten taels of silver at the beginning..."

"The remaining seventy taels are interest," Jiang Zhen frowned, "but, my interest seems to be calculated too little for you. Liu Heitou can double the money he lends to others in a month. I can't be worse than him..."

"A lot has been much!" Liu Dacheng said quickly. If it doubled in a month as Jiang Zhen said, then the money he had borrowed for fifteen or sixteen years...

"Just as long as you think it's a lot." Jiang Zhen said, writing the IOU directly.

Jiang Zhen did not learn traditional Chinese characters when he was in school, but for a while, the school paid attention to quality education...

One year, he would have a calligraphy class every week. Although Jiang Zhen had not practiced any calligraphy, he could write at least with a brush and his posture was quite correct.

"Now Yang Dacheng and Yang Ermao owe Zhao Jinge 100 taels of silver." Jiang Zhen wrote while chanting, and soon wrote a straight line of words.

These words are very simple, like the "Zhao". Because he was named Zhao Jin Ge, he also used branches to gesture, so he naturally did not write it wrong. At a rough look, he was also a cultural person.

After the fight, Brother Zhao Jin felt that he was not elegant in only wearing a midi. He didn't care that it was actually very hot at this time, so he put on new clothes again.

After putting on his clothes, he sorted out his own clothes and then came out of the new house. Jiang Zhen had already spread out the paper and pen, calculating the money the Liu family owed him.

When Zhao Jin Ge felt very happy when he heard Jiang Zhen ask the Liu family to pay back 100 taels of silver, he saw Jiang Zhen writing.

Jiang Zhen can actually write! Jiang Zhen actually recognizes calligraphy!

Brother Zhao Jin looked at Jiang Zhen in shock, and was a little overwhelmed. After having been in contact with Jiang Zhen for a long time, he felt that Jiang Zhen was very, very powerful, but he didn't expect that he was even more powerful than he thought.

Jiang Zhen actually recognized the words...

Brother Zhao Jin, who couldn't read a big word, suddenly felt a little inferior again. Compared with Jiang Zhen, he was really nothing.

As for why Jiang Zhen recognized his words... Brother Zhao Jin quickly found the reason for him. Jiang Lao Er and Jiang Lao San had both attended school, so it was probably that Jiang Zhen learned some at that time.

Jiang Zhen was really amazing. If the Jiang family asked him to study at that time, he might be able to get a scholar!

Brother Zhao Jin inexplicably trusted Jiang Zhen, and he felt that Jiang Zhen had the ability to take the exam for scholars, and the others were actually similar. Jiang Zhen actually knew how to read... This had a great impact on them.

Even though Hexi Village is quite wealthy, the literate person can count it with two hands! Even the village chief Jiang Ping can barely recognize a few words.

"Come on, I'll cover it!" Jiang Zhen put the IOU in front of the He brothers and said to Wang Haisheng again: "You hold their hands and let them press a handprint."

Wang Haisheng and He Chunsheng immediately went up and started. At this time, Jiang Zhen said again: "Liu Dacheng and Liu Ermao, right? You'd better pay back the money quickly, otherwise... I'll take this IOU to the yamen to complain. It would be bad if I owe the money."

Yang Jiang: "..." You forced someone to write an IOU in front of me, the yamen runner, and said you would go to the yamen to complain. Is this really good?

"I think I told the people in the yamen that I only have fifty taels of silver. They must be happy to ask for my debts." Jiang Zhen said again.

Yang Jiang: Of course I do!

When Liu Dacheng and Liu Ermao heard Jiang Zhen’s words, they wanted to cry. The He family had no money, so how could they have to pay 100 taels of silver?

"Okay, throw them out." Jiang Zhen said. His words just now actually expressed this meaning - a hundred taels of silver IOU, he only has fifty taels of taels of silver.

If the Liu family came to pay back the money obediently, he wouldn't have forced others to give 100 yuan to Qi.

After the Liu family left, Wang Haisheng and others began to clean up the house, but Jiang Zhen talked with the shopkeeper of the porcelain shop.

The shopkeeper of this porcelain shop had negotiated a good price with someone, but for Jiang Zhen, he wanted to lower the price and get a little more money, but now...

Thinking of Jiang Zhen’s cruel appearance just now, the shopkeeper of the porcelain shop immediately stopped thinking.

Jiang Zhen is probably a little bit of background and is so vicious, so it would be better not to offend him.

The shopkeeper of this porcelain shop told the negotiated price and did not dare to hide it at all. When Jiang Zhen heard about the price, he was extremely satisfied.

This price is much higher than he expected!

The shopkeeper also agreed to deliver the goods to the county town tomorrow, and Jiang Zhen invited the shopkeeper to stay for the wedding banquet.

"No, I have something to do, I'm going back." The shopkeeper of the porcelain shop said quickly. He was a little afraid of Jiang Zhen at this moment, and... in this messy look, can he drink wedding wine?

When Jiang Zhen saw that he refused, he did not continue to invite him, so he sent the person out.

The chef they had hired had already run away, so Zhao Liu went to the kitchen to clean up the food. At this time, Jiang Zhen took Yang Jiang to the room he had lived in before, and then asked, "Where is Liu Heitou?"

"Liu Heitou is the thug at the county gambling house." Yang Jiang said everything he knew and said, "The gambling house is not easy to mess with, you..."

"How is the gambling house review?" Jiang Zhen asked suddenly.

"It's not bad. You're not allowed to go again, and you won't force someone to sell your children." Yang Jiang said, the people behind this gambling house still need reputation, because this gambling house won't do too much.
