Chapter 7: Huge Debts
Although he didn't know how to compensate for Lu Dao and what to pay, Jiang Yi gritted his teeth and asked, "What is the compensation method?"
The manager smiled faintly and said lightly: "This famous painting was purchased from the Juzhen Pavilion, and it cost ten taels of purple gold, and I don't want you more, just compensate for the original price......! Even if we kill you, we have a place to reason. ”
"Ten taels of purple gold?"
Jiang Yi's eyes shrank, he only had one or two pieces of silver in the Jiang family, and these two purple gold were one hundred taels of silver, even if he was sold, it was not worth ten taels of purple gold, and this group of people seemed to have made up their minds to keep Jiang Xiaonu.
"Fight with them?"
Jiang Yi shook his head, there were so many people on the other side, he didn't have black yuan power, if he forced it, he was afraid that both of them would have to stay.
The manager is right, even if he kills two people today, it will not be a big deal, and the Jiang family will definitely not pursue it. This steward is very shrewd, his eyes are very poisonous, from his clothes and the maid and slave working here, it should be guessed that his status in the Jiang family is very low, and he will not dare to make a fuss.
After pondering for a while, he could only stubbornly say: "It's okay to lose money, but can you give it some time? Ten taels of purple gold will be given in both hands within a month, and if you can't take it out, I will send one hand over." ”
"A month?"
The steward's eyes narrowed, and he quickly shook his head and said, "There is no evidence, what if you run away? Either leave something as collateral, or leave this girl behind." ”
Jiang Yi has a headache, he has a fart of value, leave Jiang Xiaonu behind, I don't know what they have ruined this month. He rolled his eyes, reached out and took out a token in his arms and threw it over: "This mortgage! I'll redeem it in a month." ”
This is the token given to him by the Rong manager, he can freely enter and exit the Xishan Yao Field, the Jiang family rules are very strict, if he dares to use this token as a mortgage by the Torture Hall, he will definitely be punished heavily, but at this moment he is poor in donkey skills, so he has to make this decision.
"Oh, it's really someone from the Jiang family!"
The steward took the token with an unexpectedly unexpected look on his face, but instead of immediately agreeing, he bowed his head and groaned.
Time passed bit by bit, Jiang Yi was tense, cold sweat had begun to break out on his back, Jiang Xiaonu's beautiful big eyes were also nervous and nervous, whether the two of them could get out of this Fengyue Tower safely today was just a thought of this steward.
"Okay!"
Finally, the steward looked up at Jiang Yi, nodded and said, "I will give you the Jiang family a face, and the children of the Jiang family will be true to their word." Of course...... If you don't lose money after a month, I will take this token to your Jiang Family Torture Hall to ask for money, you can go." ”
"Let's go!"
Jiang Yi was relieved, gritted his teeth and supported each other with the little slave, slowly walked out of the backyard of Fengyue Tower, and walked towards the Jiang family's compound.
Although there were no emotional fluctuations on his face, he was bitter in his heart - this steward could be regarded as poking him in the death hole, if he couldn't come up with the money in a month, as soon as this Fengyue Building came to the door, the Jiang Family Torture Hall would definitely break his and Jiang Xiaonu's legs......
......
Fengyue Tower was not far from the Jiang family, but Jiang Yi and Jiang Xiaonu walked for half an hour before returning to the west courtyard of the Jiang family.
Both of them were injured, but fortunately, the strong man who beat Jiang Xiaonu did not use Yuan Li, Jiang Xiaonu only suffered some skin injuries, and did not hurt his muscles and bones, otherwise Jiang Yi would not know how to go back.
Back in the west courtyard of the Jiang family, it was already dusk. At this moment, the west courtyard is very lively, and the generals and servants of the Jiang family live here, and they all go home after dark. Along the way, the two met many generals and servants, but no one paid attention to them, at most they only looked at them twice, and some even showed mocking smiles......
After being cold-eyed for so many years, the two of them were not surprised, and when they walked into their own courtyard, before they entered the house, Jiang Yi's legs immediately weakened, covered his left shoulder, and half-knelt on the ground in pain, gasping for air.
He was slapped by the triple guard of the Casting Ding Realm, although he blocked it with the "Monument Wrestler", it is estimated that the bones were cracked, and then he forcibly moved the martial arts and walked for such a long way The wound was touched, and at this moment the pain made his forehead break out in cold sweat.
"Young master, young master, you are fine!"
Jiang Xiaonu panicked, and hurriedly knelt down, his dirty little face was full of distress and guilt, and tears fell down again as he spoke.
Jiang Yi waved his hand, the corners of his mouth barely showed a smile, he reached out and touched the little slave's head and said, "Little slave, don't cry, I have nothing to do, your young master...... It's not so easy to fall. ”
"Well, well, the young master is the best!"
Jiang Xiaonu's chick pecked the rice, but still cried and said, "But...... Young master, where are we going to earn ten taels of purple gold a month? Oh, it's not good to be a small slave, and it's a burden to the young master......"
"What do you say is not involved?"
Jiang Yi's face sank, his eyes widened, and he reprimanded again: "Little slave, don't say such nonsense in the future! This young master of the world is the only relative like you, and nothing is as important as you, do you know the way?"
"Well, the young master is the best!" the little slave was so moved that tears fell like rain.
"Okay, believe the young master, I will have a way, let's go in first. ”
Jiang Yi struggled to stand up, and walked into the house with Jiang Xiaonu. Entering Jiang Yi's room, Jiang Xiaonu helped him sit down on the bed, wiped away his tears and lit the candle, and hurriedly went to get the ointment to heal him.
Jiang Yi shook his head with a wry smile and said: "I took it wrong, you stupid girl, I suffered from internal injuries, go and bring the healing pill given by the family, put down this ointment, and you will apply it to the wound later." ”
Jiang Xiaonu scratched his head, his little face was embarrassed, and he quickly turned around and limped out again.
On the way back, Jiang Yi checked that the little slave's injury was not too serious, so he didn't care about her at the moment, looking at the flickering candle flame, and felt worried......
From yesterday to now, so much has happened that his head has turned into a mess, and he shook his head, ready to take care of his injuries after healing later.
Jiang Xiaonu quickly came in with a small white porcelain bottle and a bowl of water, put it on the side of the bed and asked, "Young master, do you want to swallow the pill now?" or eat something first? Oops...... Master, you didn't eat at noon, did you? Why don't I go and order two bowls of noodles first?"
"No!"
Jiang Yi shook his head and vetoed: "Isn't there still dried meat at home? Eat some casually, and I'll heal my wounds again." ”
"Good!"
Jiang Xiaonu hurriedly went out to get jerky, she used to go out to work, she was afraid that Jiang Yi would be hungry, so she prepared some jerky, which came in handy at the moment.
Soon Jiang Xiaonu took the jerky, and the two of them chewed dry on the water, Jiang Yi had time to ask: "Xiaonu, what's going on today? I always feel that this thing is not normal, is Fengyuelou deliberately designed to trap you?"
Jiang Xiaonu was stunned for a moment, blinked, and said in a daze: "Pit me, what do I have to do? I have no money......
"Stupid girl!"
Jiang Yi sighed helplessly, didn't explain, and asked directly: "You can tell me what happened in detail." ”
"Oooh. ”
Jiang Xiaonu hurriedly recounted, explained today's events in detail, and only after finishing did he continue to ask in a daze, "Young Master, is there a problem?"
Jiang Yi didn't speak, but his eyes were about to breathe fire, according to what Jiang Xiaonu said combined with the scene he saw, he could be 100% sure that today's incident was the ghost of the steward in Fengyue Tower.
Jiang Xiaonu will go to Fengyue Building with Chunya every five days to work, helping to wash the clothes and bed sheets changed by the girls in the building, originally they have been working in the backyard, never allowed to go to the front yard and the inner hall, Jiang Xiaonu is honest by nature and will not run around without permission.
The clothes that were usually washed were brought into the inner hall by the people of Fengyuelou, but today the people of Fengyuelou did not appear, and an old mother "took the initiative" to ask Jiang Xiaonu to send the clothes into the inner hall with her.
Jiang Xiaonu was worried that Jiang Yi was at home alone, and he didn't think so much if he wanted to go home early, so he followed the old mother into the inner hall with a large bucket of clothes, but just after entering, he was tripped by a guard "accidentally", and "happened" to hit a table by the wall, and there was a "famous painting" on the table that was bought with a lot of money.
Then the steward appeared, slapped Jiang Xiaonu hard, and asked the guards to take the little slave to the backyard, so that she could either lose money or sign a deed of sale......
The little slave is stupid, even if he is sold, he has to give the number of money, Jiang Yi has been smart since he was a child, and he naturally understands it after thinking about it. He let out a long breath, his face became hideous, and he gritted his teeth and roared: "Okay, you Fengyue Tower, dare to harm the little slave like this? Sooner or later, the master will smash all of your Fengyue Towers to pieces......
"Young master, don't be impulsive, I heard that the power behind Fengyue Tower is very strong, and you are not their opponent!"
Seeing Jiang Yi's expression, Jiang Xiaonu became a little panicked. Then he quickly woke up, his big eyes widened and he asked, "Oh, no, why is your strength so strong, young master?" You were so powerful just now, you injured all those villains......
"Hmm...... Leave this alone, trust me! Little slave, perhaps...... It won't be long before I'll be able to make you live a good life and never have to work again. ”
Jiang Yi thought of the mysterious black yuan power, his heart stirred again, and he hurriedly gnawed the rest of the jerky quickly, ready to heal his wounds immediately after eating, and then carefully study the black yuan power. He had a feeling that maybe this mysterious black yuan power could make his life ...... Something has changed dramatically.
"Oh, oh, the young master is so powerful, come on, young master. The simple-minded Jiang Xiaonu immediately stopped asking, the chick pecked the rice, and his big eyes narrowed into crescent moons, all of which were adoring.
After the two of them finished gnawing on the jerky, Jiang Yi checked the little slave's injuries again, and after making sure that there were no bones, she asked her to go back to the room to find Chunya to help her apply the ointment, and also explained a few words, don't tell the people of the family about today's events.
Jiang Xiaonu has listened to Jiang Yi's words since he was a child, and after asking a few words with concern, he limped out of the house, and his thin back under the candlelight was pitiful...... Seeing Jiang Yi's distress again.
After the little slave left, Jiang Yi sat on the bed in a daze, tidying up his messy mind.
Yesterday he was injured by Jiang Ruhu and others, comatose all morning, went home and slept for a while, a nameless mantra appeared in his mind inexplicably, and then he cultivated a trace of magical black yuan power according to the nameless formula, with this black yuan power, he beat the Jiang Leopard severely in the morning, and went to Fengyue Tower to rescue the little slave, but he owed a huge debt of ten taels of purple gold......
"Ten taels of purple gold?"
Thinking of this, the corners of Jiang Yi's mouth twitched, where did he get so much money in a month? And in the morning he beat the Jiang Leopard, I'm afraid that his boss Jiang Ruhu will come to the door soon, right?
Although Jiang Ruhu has average talent, he has a good old man who is in charge of the Jiang family, and there is never a shortage of cultivation pills, and his strength has reached the fourth level of the Casting Ding Realm, even if he uses the black yuan power, it will be difficult to defeat.
"Black Yuan Li, it's up to you!"
Jiang Yi pursed his lips, and his eyes flashed with a hint of hope. This black yuan force is so magical, if he studies it carefully and discovers new magical abilities, maybe he will be able to get out of this predicament......
