The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich: Chapter 235 hand over the jade pendant

Anding County Yamen

After Zhang Yuanbin beat the drum, the yamen began to go to court.

When the Ji brothers became defendants and brought them to court, they saw that Zhou Changsheng did not kneel.

Zhou Changsheng was wearing an official uniform and hat, and walked out with a serious look after the front hall staff called to go to the hall.

Sitting in the case hall, holding the gavel, slapped it, and said, "Who is in the hall?"

Zhang Yuanbin knelt down and said, "Caomin Zhang Yuanbin greets the adults!"

Zhou Changsheng asked again, "Zhang Yuanbin, are you playing the drum just now?"

Zhang Yuanbin replied, "Go back, sir, yes!"

Zhou Changsheng asked, "Who do you sue?"

Zhang Yuanbin said, "Sir, the people Caomin wants to sue are Ji Changjin and Ji Changxuan. They owe Caomin Restaurant 78,000 taels, but they defaulted on their debts. Refused to pay this fee, in desperation, Caomin can only ask adults to call the shots!"

Hearing Zhang Yuanbin say that the two owe seventy-eight thousand taels, these people watching the fun were surprised.

What did they eat, what did they live in, and what did they spend so much?

After hearing Zhang Yuanbin's words, Ji Changjin jumped up immediately, he pointed at Zhang Yuanbin's nose, and cursed, "You nonsense, we just accidentally broke some cheap things, You are asking for the sky-high compensation, you are extorting!" Of course he would not say that they deliberately smashed and damaged these things.

However, Zhang Yuanbin and Zhou Changsheng ignored Ji Changxuan's jumping feet.

Zhou Changsheng slapped the gavel and shouted sharply, "Who is under the hall, making a loud noise above the hall?"

Ji Changxuan turned his head to Zhou Changsheng and said contemptuously, "Hmph, Zhou Changsheng, what are you pretending to be, I, Ji Changxuan, don't you know me?"

Zhou Changsheng frowned, his eyes were sharp, and he shouted with a serious expression, "I am a dignified seventh-rank county magistrate, how can you be impudent! Come on, take this person down and beat him hard. Ten big boards!"

Ji Changxuan immediately flushed with anger, he said angrily, "You dare!"

"Come on, push down!" Zhou Changsheng immediately said loudly.

Seeing that these yamen are really going to pull Ji Changxuan down from the top ten, Ji Changjin frowned and said to Zhou Changsheng with a gloomy face, "Master Zhou, my brother is still young. Xiao, I don’t understand the severity, please forgive him once, Lord Zhou?”

As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not overwhelm the snake.

I can only eat this dumb shit.

Hearing Ji Changjin speak, Zhou Changsheng turned his head and asked, "Who are you?"

Ji Changjin choked, and then said with a dark face, "I am Ji Changjin, the eldest son of the Zhoushan prefect, Lord Ji, and also his eldest brother!"

My heart is full of anger.

scolded secretly, "Well, you Zhou Changsheng, you actually gave their brothers a secret attack.

Zhou Changsheng heard that he had automatically registered his name, and immediately shouted, "Ji Changjin, even if you are the sons of Mr. Ji, the prefect of Zhoushan, so what? You must kneel when you see this official!"

Immediately he turned around and asked, "Zhang Yuanbin, are these two the ones who are suing you today?"

Zhang Yuanbin said, "Go back, sir, yes!"

Immediately, Zhou Changsheng picked up the gavel, slapped it heavily, and shouted sternly, "Let's impudent! Ji Changjin Ji Changxuan, this is above the court, there is no emotion to speak of! You are presumptuous. Kneel down!" The last sentence of kneeling down, listening to anyone's ears, is an irresistible majesty. However, Ji Changxuan stubbornly raised his head and said arrogantly, "I am the son of the dignified Zhoushan prefect, Lord Ji, even if I don't kneel down, I want to see if you dare to beat this son!" What if he deceived people by his identity.

This is telling everyone in this court their identities, the sons of the prefect, so they won't kneel to a person with a lower official position than their father.

One has no fame, the other has no official position, he is just the son of an official, how can he not kneel? Come on, let them kneel before this official!"

This is the third time they have to kneel.

Ji Changjin's heart skipped a beat, and the uneasy feeling in her heart was faintly moving.

The attitude of prosperity this week is too unusual!

There is a big difference from the attitude of the past few days.

Seeing that several yamen officers were aggressively coming to arrest them and kneel down, Ji Changjin, conscious of the current situation, immediately said to Zhou Changsheng, "Master Zhou, our two brothers, from childhood to Da, I have knelt down on my parents, I have knelt down in heaven and earth, but I have never knelt down on other people, so I didn't respond for a while, please forgive me!"

As he spoke, he made a gesture to kneel down.

What Ji Changjin meant by saying this was to tell Zhou Changsheng that as the two of them, they had never knelt before anyone, so if they were interested, let them be free, otherwise, Later, he regretted it.

However, Zhou Changsheng is so ignorant.

Seeing Ji Changjin kneeling down, she didn't say anything to tell him not to kneel, and shouted to Ji Changxuan, "Kneel down!"

Seeing that, Ji Changjin could only hold back her anger and knelt down.

Ji Changxuan was unwilling at first, and called out to Ji Changjin in surprise, "Brother..."

Ji Changjin said to him, "Third brother, after all, the other party is a local snake, let's hold our breath for a while, and then we will find them to settle the account! Otherwise, you will just wait there. Ten boards."

Although Ji Changxuan is usually willful and arrogant, he usually listens to what this eldest brother says.

Ji Changxuan had to kneel down reluctantly, but his eyes glared at Zhou Changsheng.

Zhou Changsheng saw that the two had already knelt down, and he asked, "Zhang Yuanbin, you said that this person refused to pay back his debts, what is it, please explain in detail!"

Zhang Yuanbin responded, "Yes, sir! Whenever guests come to Caomin Restaurant to eat, drink and stay, Caomin and his subordinates treat each other with courtesy. However..."

It is huge, and according to the rules and regulations of the restaurant, they should have deliberately damaged property, so they need to compensate ten times the original price, and the process will come one by one!

At the end, Zhang Yuanbin took out an account book and handed it to Zhou Changsheng and said, "Sir, this account book is to count all the accounts and property that the two of them destroyed." This is the evidence.

Zhou Changsheng took the booklet, flipped it a few times, and then slapped the gavel and shouted to the two, "Ji Changjin, Ji Changxuan, pay back the debt, damage the property, and make compensation. "It's just right! You two dignified sons of the prefect, why are you not paying back the money?"

Being named by Zhou Changsheng in public and saying that the two dignified sons of the prefect, owed money and didn't pay it back, made them lose face.

Ji Changjin looked at the strong contempt and contempt around her, her face flushed, and she immediately gritted her teeth and said, "Master Zhou, we didn't say we wouldn't repay the money, it's just that we don't have such a thing. If you have more money, you can only owe it first."

"

Ji Changjin looked at Zhou Changsheng who was pressing step by step, gritted his teeth and said, "23,000 taels! We can pay back 20,000 taels first!"

Ji Changxuan exclaimed in shock, "Big Brother!"

Just Ji Changjin's eyes glared at Ji Changxuan fiercely, and there was obviously a warning in his eyes.

If it wasn't for Ji Changxuan getting angry and breaking these things every day, they wouldn't be forced to kneel here, forced to pay back money, these shameful things.

When Ji Changxuan saw the warning in his eldest brother's eyes, he immediately shrank his neck and did not dare to take any action.

Zhou Changsheng listened, but said, "In this case, you should pay for the 20,000 taels first, and then you take something as collateral, and when will you pay off these debts? Things go back to their original owners, how about that?"

Zhou Changsheng said it very directly, which made Ji Changjin extraordinarily surprised and surprised.

He never imagined that this week Changsheng would be so aggressive towards them.

However, the two brothers, except for a family heirloom jade pendant on his body, have nothing to mortgage.

Ji Changjin said with a faint anger on his face, "Master Zhou, there is nothing that can be mortgaged on the two of us. However, Master Zhou, don't worry, since this son said, he will. If you lose the remaining money, you will lose it!"

Zhou Changsheng did not respond to Ji Changjin, but asked Zhang Yuanbin, "Zhang Yuanbin, do you agree with what Ji Changjin said?"

Zhang Yuanbin shook his head and said, "Master Hui, if we do this from the beginning, we are willing to agree. However, from the very beginning, the two of them shouted loudly that they were unwilling to compensate, so Caomin was helpless. Only then will they report to the officials and let the adults decide.

Besides, even if they repaid 20,000 taels now, they still owe 58,000 taels. If the time comes, they use their status to oppress people and refuse to pay back the money, then we The small restaurant can only suffer from dumb losses. Therefore, my lord, Caomin still agrees with my lord, to use a certain valuable item on their body as a mortgage, when will the money be repaid, and when will it be returned to the original owner! "

This is telling Zhou Changsheng that he no longer believes Ji Changjin's words.

Before Zhang Yuanbin came, he had been ordered by Lin Yuelan to cooperate with Zhou Changsheng.

What Lin Yuelan meant was that she would never have any tolerance for the Ji brothers, so Zhang Yuanbin would definitely not let the Ji brothers go so easily.

The meaning of what Zhang Yuanbin said is very clear, I believe that anyone who is not a fool can understand.

Zhou Changsheng nodded, and then said to Ji Changjin, "Ji Changjin, the plaintiff Zhang Yuanbin, the shopkeeper does not agree with your approach. Therefore, you must now take out your valuables for mortgage. , or, after you return the money, as I said just now, return to the original owner, how about it?"

Ji Changjin was of course unwilling, he said, "Sir, won't it be too hard for you to be like this? My son will pay it back if he says he will, so why do he need to do this? "

Zhou Changsheng said, "Ji Gongzi, you just said that you are prefect sons and have great power. If you return to Zhoushan and regret it, why don't you come to me? Going to the restaurant, fell into a disadvantageous position?"

Ji Changjin's face was ashen with anger, he glared at Zhou Changsheng and said, "Sir, you are talking nonsense!"

Zhou Changsheng didn't respond, just looked at them with a cold face.

Seeing Zhou Changsheng's uncompromising appearance, Ji Changjin had to grit his teeth again and said, "Well, we two brothers, one of us will continue to stay in Anding County, and the other will go back to Zhoushan to get money, Can you?"

"No!" As soon as Ji Changjin finished speaking, he was denied by Zhou Changsheng, he said, "If you all return to Zhoushan alone, and use your power to persecute this official, then this official will I have to do something I don't want to do against my will." Zhou Changsheng's words meant that they forced him to send you to a restaurant or something.

Looking at Zhou Changsheng who was full of soot, Ji Changjin was really angry.

He gritted his teeth and said, "We brothers don't have anything that can be mortgaged, sir, what do you say?"

He pushed the question back to Zhou Changsheng.

Zhou Changsheng said with a solemn and majestic face, "Then I can't help you two, according to the laws of the dynasty, those who owe money and do not pay back, according to the amount of money and goods, the severity of the matter, according to the circumstances. Deal with the trial. Even if the two of you have repaid 20,000 taels, you still owe 50,000 taels. If you don't pay off on time, you will be sentenced to ten years in **** until the debt is paid off!"

As soon as she heard that they were going to be sentenced to prison, Ji Changxuan jumped up on the spot, pointed at Zhou Changsheng's nose and cursed, "Zhou Changsheng, how dare you! I want my father Take off the official hat of your dog official!"

Zhou Changsheng ignored Ji Changxuan's threat, and immediately ordered, "Come here, write the crime, and let Ji Changjin and Ji Changxuan sign it!"

"Yes, my lord!" The people below did so immediately.

Ji Changjin, obsessed with the situation that the hero will not suffer the loss in front of him, immediately stopped and said, "Wait!"

After he finished speaking, he took out a jade pendant from his neck and said to Zhou Changsheng with some ruthlessness, "Sir, this is my son's family heirloom jade pendant, and this jade pendant is used as collateral. ,how?"

Zhou Changsheng was surprised when he saw that Ji Changjin really took out a jade pendant.

Because he never thought about it, as Lin Yuelan said, Ji Changjin has a family heirloom jade pendant.

He didn't even know where Lin Yuelan learned about it.

…

!"

Thinking about it, she stood in front of Lin Yuelan.

Zhang Yuanbin was a little surprised to see that Lin Yuelan was in the Zhou mansion. He thought that Master Zhou asked him to come here to do something. It turned out that the owner was here.

Zhang Yuanbin shouted respectfully, "Master!"

Lin Yuelan nodded and said, "Is everything settled?"

Zhang Yuanbin replied, "Yes!"

Zhou Changsheng, who was standing next to him, handed the jade pendant in his hand to Lin Yuelan and asked, "Miss Lin, is this the jade pendant you are talking about?"

Hearing Zhou Changsheng's words, Zhang Yuanbin was a little surprised.

How could he not know that Lin Yuelan was so interested in this jade pendant.

Thinking about it this way, from the first day the Ji brothers lived in the restaurant, they were in Lin Yuelan's calculations, so they asked them not to stop the Ji brothers from damaging things Behavior.

It turned out that from beginning to end, it was just a piece of jade.

Zhang Yuanbin only knows one, but not the other.

Secondly, in fact, Lin Yuelan's calculation of Ji's brothers was only incidental. The person she really calculated was Ji Zhongcai, the prefect of Zhoushan.

The news of Ji Zhongcai's downfall has not yet reached the Ji brothers' ears, so she wants to let the Ji brothers have all the money before the people who loot the house and seal the wealth. Hand it over, otherwise, it will be all confiscated after a long time, and it will be difficult to get this jade pendant.

Lin Yuelan took the jade pendant.

This jade pendant is emerald green. Although it is a family heirloom pendant, it does not have any luster. Therefore, for the Ji family, this jade pendant is completely worthless, so the Ji family has a symbol for this piece The jade pendant of family significance did not win the blood. Therefore, this jade pendant was hung on Ji Changjin's body, and no one was envious or jealous.

However, only Lin Yuelan knows that this dull jade pendant is a spiritual jade pendant, which can protect people's health and not be eroded by any evil yin.

Lin Yuelan nodded and said, "Yes, it's this jade pendant!"

Zhou Changsheng looked at this uncharacteristic round jade pendant and wanted to ask Lin Yuelan what she wanted this jade pendant for. When I thought it was wrong, I suppressed the curiosity and doubts in my heart.

Zhou Changsheng asked, "Miss Lin, what about these two now?"

Lin Yuelan smiled and said, "Find someone to monitor them, and hand them over as soon as the people from Zhoushan arrive!"

Zhou Changsheng listened, thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay!"

Zhang Yuanbin didn't know what riddles the two were playing, and just stood by.

Lin Yuelan said to Zhang Yuanbin, "In the past two days, clean up the restaurant well, and a distinguished guest will arrive!"

Zhang Yuanbin suppressed the doubts in his heart and answered very seriously, "Yes, the owner!"
