Chapter 7: The Three-Day Covenant
"Hmm."
Wang Baochang replied lightly, and after looking Jiang Chen up and down, he said arrogantly:
"Cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents! You not only ruined Lu Wenbin's livelihood and ruined his reputation, but also stole his worth of heirloom jade pendants, which is simply indignant and intolerable.
I ask you now, do you know that you have confessed your sin? β
Confession of Mistake?
Jiang Chen's face was extremely ugly, and he was even more surprised in his heart:
How dare a security chief interrogate the case in public and frame him? That's too lawless, isn't it?
Has the rule of officials in the Northern Song Dynasty been corrupted to such a degree?
He was secretly surprised and angry, and his cousin came to Wang Baochang's side with a flattering face, handed over the wine jug and said, "Master Bao, this is the best Li Ji Daqu, you can always taste it." β
Wang Baochang took a sip, smashed it and said, "Well, it's not bad, bring me an altar tomorrow." β
"Yes, yes, little old man obeys!"
My cousin secretly felt pain in his flesh, and said cautiously:
"Lord Bao, my nephew will definitely not do such a theft, and everyone in Mochizuki Tower can testify to it. Is there some misunderstanding here? β
"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, you'll find out after searching!"
Wang Baochang said, and directly waved his hand and ordered: "Come on, search for me!" β
As soon as the words fell, four or five fierce-looking men surrounded Jiang Chen.
"Wait!"
Jiang Chen didn't dare to let them search their bodies, the ghost knew what they would find.
After bursting into applause, he hurriedly bowed his hand to Wang Baochang: "In the lower Taoist Limen Jiangchen, I have seen Wang Baochang!" Before the body search, can you allow you to have a few words with the security chief? β
"Huh? Are you a member of the Daomen? β
Wang Baochang looked at Jiang Chen with a look of surprise on his face.
Secretly said in my heart: Today's officials believe in Taoist theology, not only proclaiming themselves the emperor of Taoism, but also allowing Taoist priests to become officials through trials like scholars, and they are about to praise Taoist priests to the sky.
For the sake of Lu Wenbin's hundred runs, he went to provoke the Daomen......
He was hesitating, and Lu Wenbin suddenly shouted:
"Impossible! Wang Baochang, don't listen to his nonsense, how can he, a scholar who marries a wife and starts a family, be a member of the Taoist sect? β
"Humph! Who told you that lay disciples are not allowed to study or marry wives? β
Jiang Chen glanced at Lu Wenbin with disdain, and then approached Wang Baochang and said in a low voice:
"Wang Baochang, I heard that the Wang family has been a scholar of the five dynasties and generations of hairpins, and I have always admired it very much.
If you don't dislike it, when my Daomen senior brother enters Beijing in a few days, I am willing to offer two hundred yuan as a recommendation. Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to make friends together?
Why do you bother to make it difficult for us to be a villain with a bad reputation? β
This......
Two hundred? Really?
After Wang Baochang looked at Jiang Chen a few times, he said with a smile:
"Hearing you say that, the chief of this insurance department really wants to get acquainted with your Daoist senior brother! It's just that I don't know when he will enter Beijing? β
"It can't be ten days and half a month later, right? I'm afraid that your whole family will run away when the time comes! β
Lu Wenbin glared at Jiang Chen with an unwilling expression, his tone was full of sarcasm and suspicion.
"Within three days!"
Jiang Chen said with an oath.
"Good! Then the chief will give you three days to prove your innocence! β
Wang Baochang agreed after a little hesitation, and then stared at Jiang Chen and said in a low voice:
"It's not trivial for Lu Wenbin to sue you for stealing the jade pendant. If you can't prove your innocence as soon as possible, not only will your life be unsafe, but even your newlywed little lady will have to pay off his debts and suffer from his humiliation. Do you understand? β
"Thank you for the reminder, I will live up to your trust in the next decision, and I will see you in three days!"
Jiang Chen glanced at Lu Wenbin deeply, raised his feet and walked out of the tavern, and laughed loudly at Liu Yueniang:
"Lady, then Lu Wenbin wants to frame me, thanks to Wang Baochang's deep understanding of righteousness, now there is nothing to do!"
"Framed?"
"Oh my God! This Lu Wenbin is too despicable and shameless, right? β
Liu Yueniang and the onlookers outside looked at Lu Wenbin with disdain.
Not......
Lu Wenbin's face was like a pig's liver, and he was ashamed of himself, and he covered his face with his sleeves and roared at Jiang Chen:
"Surnamed Jiang, don't be happy too early, I'll keep an eye on you! I'm going to see how you can get two hundred in three days! Hum! We'll see! β
After that, he glanced at Wang Baochang very unhappily and ran away in a gloomy manner.
β¦β¦
Well?
Enough 200 in three days?
When Liu Yueniang and Liu Mingjie heard this, they all looked at Jiang Chen with surprised eyes.
However, he didn't ask questions on the spot, and it wasn't until he went home and closed the door that his aunt was the first to ask:
"Brother Chen, what's the matter with getting together two hundred pieces in three days? You can't have given Bao Chang Wang some promises, right? Where could you possibly scrape together that much money?
If we can't make it up, wouldn't it be a burden to us and Mingjie? β
When Liu Mingjie heard this, he said nervously: "Why don't we go and ask the internal official to help him talk about Xiang one or two?" β
"The family can't come up with any money, how can He Neiguan be willing to help easily?"
The cousin shook his head, stared at Jiang Chen expectantly and nervously, and said, "Brother Chen, is that Daomen senior brother you said true?" β
"Although my cousin is relieved, in the eyes of my Taoist Limen, that Wang Baochang is just a clown who jumps off the beam, and it is not worth mentioning at all!"
Jiang Chen's face was light, and after sitting down, he beckoned to Xiang'er's little girl and said, "Come, pinch my shoulder, pinch it well, and bring you something delicious tomorrow!" β
"Yes, uncle!"
Seeing that Jiang Chen was so relaxed, Xiang'er immediately calmed down, and waited with a shy smile.
Not......
He's too confident, isn't he?
Could it be that he really has something to rely on?
My cousin and aunt glanced at each other, and although I was not sure, I didn't want to ask any more.
After having a dinner with his life, he took Liu Mingjie and left with a full burp.
β¦β¦
As soon as they left, Liu Yueniang said apologetically: "Xianggong, I dragged you down, if you can't ......"
"Can't do what?"
Jiang Chen glared at her angrily: "You refuse to rest at home today, it's just that you don't believe that I can earn back money;
The casual instigation of two ignorant foolish women can make you and Xiang'er change their faces greatly, and it is also because you don't trust me......"
"I didn't."
Liu Yueniang lowered her head and whispered a quibble, peeked at Jiang Chen's face and said, "I just can't figure it out, Xianggong is so capable, why would he be willing to marry me!" β
"That's the question...... It's complicated to say, but I still talked to my lady on the candle night! β
Jiang Chen looked at Liu Yueniang's charming face with a bit of charm, and hugged her as soon as his heart was hot.
Candlelight night talk?
Will you be free to talk to me then?
Liu Yueniang was so ashamed that her face was red, and she jumped down after struggling, and while running to Xiang'er's boudoir, she said in a panic: "Let's talk about it another day, I have back pain." β
