Chapter 734 I Don’t Think You’re Even a Scholar

"I don't care what the deal between you is. Now that our master is back, we have to take this house back. You have lived in it for so long and it has become a mess." Qing Lang was very tough. What was going on?

He glanced at the two old women, what a piece of shit they were.

"No! We can't move out. The lease is still half a year away! Even if you compensate us with silver, where are we going to rent a yard in such a short time?"

"Yes! We won't move." Everyone shook their heads and refused to move.

"If you don't move, you will be brought to justice!" A cold voice came and everyone turned around to look.

First, a young man in elegant clothes and with a fairy-like appearance came slowly. However, at this moment, the young man had a stern expression, and the words "Stranger, please stay away" were written on his very handsome face.

"Why do you want to see the official? This is the house we rented."

Originally these people were intimidated by Jiang Youzhen's aura, but there was a young man following behind Jiang Youzhen, and with so many people on their side, how could they be afraid of three young men?

Jiang Youzhen took a quick look and found that there were about 30 to 40 people. Judging from their positions, at least four families had rented the place. She was in a bad mood because so many people lived in her three-story house.

"When you rented the house, you should have checked the title deed. Did you verify its authenticity?" Jiang Youzhen said.

Everyone was stunned. They indeed didn't have any.

"They have the key to the house and they are wearing silk. How do we know that the house is not theirs?"

"With so many people, no one remembered to look at their property deeds? They deserved to be cheated." Jiang Youzhen sneered.

"We masters don't want to bother with you. You are given today to move out. Otherwise, we will call the police and sue you for trespassing." Qing Lang said it very seriously, just to scare these people.

"You are a kid who hasn't even grown all his hair yet. Don't think we don't know you are trying to scare us. What kind of an adult are you? I don't think you are even a scholar."

A middle-aged man stepped forward. Although the young man was dressed richly, he only came back once in a long time, so he was definitely not from the provincial capital.

Look, he only brought two servants with him. There are so many of them, what can they do to them?

Jiang Youzhen sneered, this is just taking advantage of their youth!

Qingyan raised his eyebrows suddenly, drew out a soft sword from his waist, and with a "swish", the blade popped out, revealing a chilling coldness.

"What are you doing? Do you still want to kill someone?" The man was terrified, and the others took two steps back.

Jiang Youzhen frowned, thinking that she was an official after all, so she couldn't act recklessly. Otherwise, if the censors caught her, they would definitely report her.

"Qingyan, put away your sword."

Qingyan snorted coldly and put it away. He had intended to intimidate these people.

"Since you are unwilling to move out, let the government make the decision!"

Jiang Youzhen took out a token from his pocket and said, "Qinglang, take my token and go to the government office to ask for someone to come over!"

Everyone's eyes fell on the ivory token in Jiang Youzhen's hand. Why did they feel something was wrong? It really looked like an official's token!

One of the old men stepped forward upon seeing this. He cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry to be rude. I wonder what position this... sir holds?"

"My master is a reader in the Hanlin Academy." Qingyan said with some pride.

Imperial Academy Reader? Isn't that a sixth-rank official?

A man who looked like a scholar stood up immediately and said, "Who are you trying to fool? Do you know that impersonating an official of the imperial court is a capital crime?"

A young girl behind him blushed when she saw Jiang Youzhen. This young man was so handsome.

"Whether it's an impostor or not, we'll know when someone from the government office comes."

Jiang Youzhen was in a state of headache at the moment. He originally wanted to pay the rent and let the matter go, but the other party didn't seem to want to let it go. It would be best to report the matter to the government and handle it according to the law.

"Qingyan, tie up these two old women and wait for the authorities to arrive before dealing with them." Jiang Youzhen glanced at the two old women who were huddled in the corner, trembling with fear.

"Yes!" Qingyan stepped forward, pulled a vine from the garden and tied up the two men. It was clean and quick, and it was obvious that he was a martial artist.

Soon, people from the government arrived. When everyone saw them, many yamen runners immediately stopped their actions.

"I, Sun Wanhe, pay my respects to Lord Jiang!" Sun Wanhe and a group of yamen runners paid their respects to Jiang Youzhen.

"No need to be polite!"

When everyone saw that this young man was really an official, they immediately felt uneasy. They were very rude just now, and if they were to be held accountable, what would they use to fight the official?

"Sir, are these people breaking into private homes?"

Sun Wanhe turned around and his expression changed, glaring at these people.

"Sir, this is really a misunderstanding!" Everyone was shocked and waved their hands.

"It was these two women who rented the yard to us. We were deceived!"

"Yes! I even spent four taels of silver!"

"Me too, I spent three taels too!"

"What? You have one ounce less than me? These two old ladies are not kind."

There was a commotion at the scene. Seeing Jiang Youzhen frowning, Sun Wanhe immediately said, "Silence! No noise!"

"Each family will send a representative to explain everything that happened."

So the four families took turns to tell the general story. Anyway, the fact was that the two old women rented the third courtyard to three families at the price of three to four taels per small courtyard without showing the house deeds.

There happened to be a door between the second and third entrances that could be locked. There was a back door on the third entrance side, and on weekdays they were allowed to go out through the back door, which had nothing to do with the second entrance.

Then the second courtyard was rented to a family for eight taels of silver a year.

"Listen carefully! This house belongs to Lord Jiang. His servants saw that he was not in the city, so they deceived him and rented out the house without his permission.

Now that Lord Jiang has returned from the capital, he wants to take back the house. If this matter is reported to the government, it will also make room for the owner. There have been many precedents for this kind of dispute before."

Sun Wanhe handled these matters with ease. In the past, the owner would always take the property back, and the tenant would consider themselves unlucky because this was the result of not signing a red deed.

"Qingyan, go search their houses and return their rent to them."

The two women turned even paler with fear, and one of them said tremblingly, "Silver, the silver is used."

"So much silver, and it's been spent in just half a year?" Qingyan didn't believe it. He was also a servant and was usually very frugal with his monthly salary. Besides, each person could get six or seven taels, right?

"I lost the gambling!" The old woman lowered her head and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito.

Qingyan sneered, "No wonder you are so bold!"

Sun Wanhe then sent people to follow Qingyan to search the first outer courtyard. These three people were also good at calculating. They left the first courtyard for themselves to live in and treated it as their own courtyard.

"Master Jiang, don't worry, I will make sure they all move out today." Sun Wanhe immediately expressed his opinion. Master Jiang has a bright future, so how could he dare to offend him?

Everyone's faces changed drastically, some were filled with worry, while others were indignant.
