Chapter 11: Master Moves
"Lord Jiang, I heard that your Jiang family is extremely rich, can't you spend some money to settle it?"
Cao Kun narrowed his eyes again, pricking up his eyes like an old cat.
A look of alarm.
"Lord Cao, I miss Jiangcheng, I was a high school scholar at the age of eighteen, ranked in the top three, and became a Hanlin editor, but now I have become a county order, and I have long been disheartened. I don't want to continue to be an official in the officialdom, so I might as well go home and marry a wife and have children. β
Jiang Cheng said loudly, sighing again and again.
"Is that true?" Cao Kun was overjoyed.
If 30,000 taels of silver can settle this matter and become the county order of Ancheng County, Cao Kun gritted his teeth and could still make up 30,000 taels of silver.
"Master Cao, do you think I'm joking? I read the books of Confucius and Mencius, and I am based on sincerity, so why deceive adults. If the officials do not depose me from my official position, then I am willing to resign and go into hiding. β
Jiang Cheng's eyes were firm, and he shouted loudly.
Seeing that Cao Kun, the old fox, was still hesitating and showing a contemplative look, Jiang Cheng tore up the confession on the spot and said, "Lord Cao, this is my sincerity. β
"That Cao Ande ......"
Cao Kun's eyes were shocked, and he asked again.
"If the silver is sent, it will be handed over." Gangseong Road.
Cao Kun's fingers tapped on the table, frowning and pondering.
Now that the witness is in Jiang Cheng's hands, he is in a dilemma.
If you don't agree to Jiang Cheng, the consequences can't be predicted.
He thought about it for a while, decided to agree to this matter, and said, "Then tomorrow night, the silver will be delivered to the mansion." β
"Okay, I want to trouble Lord Cao for a trivial matter, that maid, I like it very much, you can let his father go." Gangseong Road.
"It's okay, it's just an insignificant little person."
Cao Kun nodded with a smile.
Since Jiang Cheng is lustful, then when the time comes, it is enough to find one or two little beauties as a thank you gift.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration occurred to him.
thought of his granddaughter Cao Shuhua.
Although her granddaughter is a little more willful, she is beautiful and has reached the age of leaving the cabinet.
If you can marry Jiang Cheng and form an in-law, then this matter will be stable.
"Master, do you remember my granddaughter Cao Shuhua?"
Cao Kun's wrinkled face suddenly showed an old fox-like smile.
"Of course I've seen it."
Jiang Cheng had not only seen it, but also hated that woman.
Although he has a bit of a posture, he is brutal and willful, and he doesn't even pay attention to himself.
"I want to marry an adult, so I have a guarantee."
Cao Kun smiled slightly.
"Marriage?"
Jiang Cheng was dumbfounded.
Does this old fox mean to let him marry Cao Shuhua?
"Lord Cao, but I already have a fiancΓ©e." Jiang Cheng hurriedly shook his head and refused.
"But I didn't say that I couldn't take a concubine. Let my granddaughter be your concubine. If you don't agree to this, then there is no sincerity. Cao Kun said.
Jiang Cheng secretly gritted his teeth in his heart, and could only pinch his nose and agree to this matter.
However, Jiang Cheng postponed the matter on the grounds of notifying his parents.
β¦β¦
Coming out of Huifeng Building, Jiang Cheng's back was soaked.
After playing tricks with this old fox, I was shocked into a cold sweat.
In front of this old fox, Jiang Cheng felt that he was still too tender.
And inexplicably stuffed into a concubine's room.
If the Lan family knew about it, the eldest lady of the Lan family would probably be angry.
However, Jiang Cheng didn't dare not agree.
In case, the Cao family took a risk and wanted to kill him, Chen Yuan alone would not be able to protect him at all.
Today, Cao Kun came over to prepare to turn his face.
The two burly men behind him were well-known masters in Anseong County.
Zhao Sanhu and Chen Wudao.
The two of them fought alone, and they were definitely not Chen Yuan's opponents, but when the two joined forces, Chen Yuan couldn't parry at all and would definitely lose.
"My lord, how did you talk to that old fox?" Chen Yuan asked.
"We'll see you tomorrow night." Jiang Cheng said lightly.
Don't watch film and television dramas and casually say one million taels of silver, but in the real world, ten thousand taels of silver is already an astronomical amount.
Even if the Cao family is a local powerhouse, it will take a certain amount of time to raise 30,000 taels of silver, and it is not something that can be taken out casually.
Now Jiang Cheng will not let go of Cao Kun, an old fox, but he has to compromise for the time being.
If it is the same as the stunned Qing, it will only force the Cao family to take risks, and Jiang Cheng's life will be lost here.
β¦β¦
Inside the inn.
Li Xiran couldn't sleep a little.
Thinking of Jiang Cheng's words, he was very worried.
Could it be that the catastrophe that Mr. Li is talking about is the limit?
Is it really impossible to live?
I don't know if Jiang Cheng's words are true or false.
He actually knows how to heal?
So where did he learn his medical skills?
Li Xiran was a little puzzled.
After all, studying medicine requires apprenticeship, which is inherited.
It's not just a matter of reading a few medical books to understand medical skills, the so-called paper is shallow.
"Zhuyi, I heard that Jiang Cheng will try the case tomorrow, right?"
Suddenly, Li Xiran spoke.
"I heard from the guy at the inn, and I heard that Jiangcheng has started to try the case. He had never tried a case before, he didn't do anything for the people, he was drunk all day long, and he didn't know what was going on, and he suddenly tried the case. β
Ye Zhuyi frowned.
"It may have something to do with the triennial inventory of officials. He's about to expire in three years. Tomorrow, I want to attend his trial. Li Xiran said with a smile.
"Miss, aren't we going to find Mr. Li?" Ye Zhuyi asked.
"It's better to let this matter go. I'd love to get to know Jiang Cheng, after all, he had helped me. Li Xiran said.
"Huh? Miss, has he really seen you? So how can you not know your identity? Ye Zhuyi was surprised.
"It was when I was eight years old, he had just participated in the imperial examination, and he was only fourteen or fifteen years old.
Li Xiran smiled slightly.
"I didn't expect that disciple to have such a fate with Miss."
Ye Zhuyi was stunned.
The next day.
Jiang Cheng took a sedan chair to the county office.
He didn't expect that more people would come to sue today than yesterday.
Zhao Guyan looked at the endless stream of people and said with a wry smile: "My lord, now the people in ten miles and eight townships in Ancheng County have heard that the adults are going to judge the case, and they have all come to complain." β
After all, in the past three years, Jiang Cheng has never asked about the trial.
Although Bai Canghai is in charge of the prison, arresting thieves, and can also try cases, he is an old fritter, and he tries his best to shirk these things, resulting in more and more cases, and the people are also complaining.
Now, when the people of Ancheng County heard about the Jiangcheng trial, they were moved by the sound and came to the county government to complain.
Compared with Zhao Guyan's sad face, Jiang Cheng couldn't ask for it.
Now he is in need of merit points, and it is known that the way to obtain merit points is to try the case.
Maybe there are other ways to get merit points in the future.
These people begged him to try the case, completely to send him merit points, how can there be any reason to refuse.
"Lord Zhao, let's ascend to the hall." Gangseong Road.
