Chapter 740: This comparison shows the difference
"Five hundred taels, sign the contract, and get out of here." Jiang Youzhen had lost all his patience. If the Qin family refused, he also had a way to deal with them.
Qing Lang and Qing Yan had already put their hands on the hilts of their swords when they heard this. Uncle Qin swallowed his saliva and said, "Do you still have the law? Do you want to kill people to silence them?"
Jiang Youzhen took out five silver notes worth one hundred taels directly from his arms, or actually from the space.
"Prepare paper and pen!"
When the steward heard this, he turned around and went to the study without waiting for the master's instructions.
"You should understand the principle of knowing when to quit. I don't have much patience, and I have been with you until now because of your teacher.
If you don’t understand this truth, I will make you understand it today. It is a very sad thing for the elderly to send off the young. "
At this time, in line with Jiang Youzhen's words, Qinglang and the others had already drawn their swords and closed the courtyard door.
This scene made the Qin family stunned. They didn't understand why the person who had a pleasant face just now changed his face so suddenly?
Even the Qian family members were like this. Qian Chongen had never seen such a side of his disciples.
That's right! If you're not ruthless, how can you gain a foothold in the court?
Qin Shun was so scared that he hid behind his father. He thought that maybe this young man could really do it.
Jiang Youzhen ignored them and wrote a contract. She thought about it and wrote down everything she could think of.
For example, no one from the Qin family can disturb the couple, but when Qin Shuang goes back to take the exam, the Qin family cannot stop him in any way, let alone go to the government to file a complaint, etc.
After writing the contract, Jiang Youzhen handed it to Qian Chongen and said, "Teacher, take a look. Is there anything you want to add?"
Qian Chongen read it carefully twice and nodded, "That's it!"
"Let them sign!"
"You, aren't you afraid that we will go to the government and sue you, saying that you are bullying us and forcing us to sign the contract?" Uncle Qin said indignantly.
"Then go ahead! After you go, I will let you know how serious a crime it is to slander an official appointed by the imperial court."
Jiang Youzhen smiled, "The prefect and I are close friends. He personally saw me off when I came. You can ask anyone and they will know."
The Qin family gritted their teeth. Is this just officials protecting each other? Thinking that their Qin family really didn't have any high-ranking officials now, they could only suffer this loss.
"Five hundred taels is five hundred taels!" Qin Shun said as he stepped forward, grabbed the banknote and put it in his arms.
"Let each of them sign and seal, no one can be left out." Jiang Youzhen asked Qing Lang to step forward and watch to prevent these people from fooling the Qian family.
Thanks to Jiang Youzhen's swift and decisive action, things were done quickly.
Seeing the Qin family members so excited holding the banknotes, Qian Chongen sighed. He turned around and told the steward to get the banknotes. Jiang Youzhen couldn't be allowed to pay for the money.
Jiang Youzhen looked at the Qian family members who had different thoughts and said goodbye.
"Teacher, Master's Wife, Junior Sister, it's getting late, I'm going to go back and rest. I have an appointment with Teacher to go to Fahua Temple tomorrow, so I'll leave you today."
"Wait!" At this time, the steward of the outer courtyard came over, and Qian Chongen handed the banknote to him, "Take it. There is no reason for me to always ask you to subsidize me. This money should not be paid by you."
Jiang Youzhen did not refuse upon hearing this. One thing is one thing, she really couldn't explain the money she paid.
After saying goodbye and leaving the Qian Mansion, Qian Ru watched Jiang Youzhen leave with her beautiful eyes, and a feeling of melancholy arose in her heart.
Qian Chongen also began to question his own decision, especially the completely different attitudes of his apprentice and son-in-law in handling the matter, which was really a world of difference.
Qian Chongen glanced at Qin Shuang who was about to relax and turned his head away. The difference was obvious. He really couldn't like this son-in-law. But this was his choice, and it was all his fault.
Jiang Youzhen rode in a carriage out of the corner gate, but after just a moment, he heard Qing Lang scolding the horse.
"What's going on?" Jiang Youzhen asked with a frown.
There are so many things to do every day.
"Master, it's nothing serious. The horse almost hit a woman holding a child. I immediately pulled the reins."
Qing Lang was muttering as he spoke that it was almost dark and it was too dangerous to stand next to the corner gate. Fortunately, he had good eyesight.
"Is it okay?"
Jiang Youzhen said as she lifted the curtain and took a look outside. When she saw a young woman in an indigo short jacket holding a child in her arms, standing at the corner door and looking inside in panic, she immediately felt that she looked familiar.
When the woman heard her husband's voice, she planned to walk away, but unexpectedly a young man soon came to her.
"My young master invites you to the teahouse ahead for a chat!"
The woman immediately recognized the young man. Her eyes flickered when she heard his words, but she still nodded.
Jiang Youzhen was sitting in a private room in the teahouse. She still remembered that she used to come to Qian's house often and sometimes would come to the teahouse to sit. She was considered a regular customer and the owner knew her.
"Young Master! People are coming!" Qing Lang's voice rang out.
"Come in!"
The woman only heard a pleasant voice. She nervously rolled up her sleeves, hugged the child tightly in her arms, and then walked in.
"Liu!" Jiang Youzhen shouted when he saw the woman.
This young woman is Qin Shun's daughter-in-law. Jiang Youzhen had seen her in his own house today, so he recognized her at the first sight when he stood at the gate of Qian's corner.
"Lord Jiang!" Although Liu was nervous, she still held the child and saluted.
"Please sit down! It's tiring to hold a child." Jiang Youzhen pointed to the seat opposite.
Liu shook her head, and Qingyan beside Jiang Youzhen said, "My master asked you to sit down, so sit down!"
Liu then sat down carefully. "I called you here because your husband wants to blackmail the Qian family. I don't care about Qin Shuang's affairs, but I have to ask about the Qian family's affairs."
As Jiang Youzhen spoke, he took out a silver note worth one hundred taels from his pocket and pushed it in front of Liu.
Liu stared at the banknote for a long while before asking, "Is this a banknote? How much is it?"
"One hundred taels!" The three words came out from the young man's red lips, which scared Liu.
"Today, Qin Shun extorted five hundred taels from the Qian family, but he will leave the city soon. You know Qin Shun's temper, so I don't need to say more. I'm sure the first thing he will do is either take a concubine or divorce his wife.
You can't read, right? Their family prides itself on being a scholarly family and they look down on you. If you still have illusions about them, you are stupid."
Jiang Youzhen got straight to the point. This woman was obviously smart. The fact that she didn't go with the Qin family to the Qian family to ask for benefits showed that she was either shameless or smart, or both.
"What does your Excellency want me to do?" Liu knew that the one hundred taels were not easy to take and she would have to pay a price for it.
"You don't have to do anything, I just want you to keep an eye on Qin Shun's family. If it's not good for the Qian family, write to this address and you will get something in return.
Don’t think that Qin Shun will pity you just because you are holding his son. If you care about the future of your child, you will not reject me.”
