Chapter Seven: A Three-Day Agreement

"Um."

Baochang Wang responded lightly, looked Jiang Chen up and down, and said with great arrogance:

"Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents! You not only ruined Lu Wenbin's livelihood and ruined his reputation, but you also stole his family heirloom jade pendant, which is worth hundreds of dollars. It is simply outrageous for both humans and gods, and cannot be tolerated by heaven.

I ask you now, do you know that you have made a mistake and confessed your crime?"

Admit your mistake?

Jiang Chen's face was extremely ugly, and he was even more surprised:

How dare a mere security chief dare to interrogate a case in public and frame him? This is too lawless, isn't it?

Has the officialdom of the Northern Song Dynasty deteriorated to this extent?

While he was secretly surprised and angry, his cousin approached Wang Baochang with a flattering look on his face, handed him the wine bottle and said, "Mr. Baochang, this is the best Li Ji Daqu. Please try it."

Baozhang Wang took it, took a sip, smashed it and said, "Well, it's not bad. Bring me a jar tomorrow."

"Yes, yes, little old man, I obey!"

My cousin felt pain in his heart and said cautiously:

"Master Protector, my nephew will definitely not do that kind of theft. Everyone in Wangyue Tower can attest to this. Is there any misunderstanding here?"

"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, you'll find out after searching!"

As Baochang Wang said, he waved his hand and ordered: "Come on, search for me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, four or five fierce-looking men surrounded Jiang Chen.

"Wait a minute!"

Jiang Chen didn't dare to let them search him, who knew what they would find.

After shouting loudly, he hurriedly raised his hands to Baozhang Wang and said: "Jiang Chen, who is a member of the Taoist family, has met Baozhang Wang! Before the search, may I have a few words with Baozhang?"

"Huh? Are you from the Taoist sect?"

Chief Wang Bao looked at Jiang Chen with a look of surprise on his face.

I secretly thought: Today's officials believe in Taoist theology. They not only proclaim themselves Taoist kings and emperors, but also allow Taoist priests to become officials through examination just like scholars. They are almost going to praise Taoist priests to heaven.

To provoke the Taoist sect for Lu Wenbin’s hundred strings...

While he was hesitating, Lu Wenbin suddenly shouted:

"Impossible! Wang Baozhang, don't listen to his nonsense. How can he, a scholar who married a wife and started a family, be a member of the Taoist sect?"

"Hmph! Who told you that Taoist lay disciples can't study or marry?"

Jiang Chen glanced at Lu Wenbin with disdain, then approached Bao Zhang Wang and whispered:

"Wang Baozhang, I have heard that the Wang family has been a Jinshi in the five dynasties, and has been holding hairpins for generations. I have always admired him very much.

If you don't mind it, I would like to offer you two hundred dollars as an introduction when my Taoist brother comes to Beijing in a few days. Wouldn't it be nice for us all to make friends together?

Why would you bother us, a member of the Taoist sect, for a villain with a bad reputation?"

this……

Two hundred strings? Real or fake?

After Wang Baochang looked at Jiang Chen for a few times, he said with a half-smile but not a smile:

"Listening to what you said, I really want to get to know your Taoist senior brother! I just don't know when he will come to Beijing?"

"Isn't it ten days and a half later? I'm afraid your whole family will be gone by then!"

Lu Wenbin stared at Jiang Chen with an unwilling expression, his tone full of sarcasm and suspicion.

"Within three days!"

Jiang Chen said swornly.

"Okay! The security guard will give you three days to prove your innocence!"

Baochang Wang hesitated for a moment and then agreed, then stared at Jiang Chen and lowered his voice:

"Lu Wenbin's accusation of stealing the jade pendant against you is no small matter. If you can't prove your innocence as soon as possible, not only will your life be in danger, but your newlywed wife will also have to pay off his debt and be humiliated by him. Do you understand?"

"Thank you, Chief Security Officer, for reminding me. I am determined to live up to your trust. See you in three days!"

Jiang Chen took a deep look at Lu Wenbin, walked out of the tavern, and laughed loudly at Liu Yueniang:

"Madam, Lu Wenbin wanted to frame me, but thanks to Wang Baozhang's understanding of justice, everything is fine now!"

"Framing?"

"Oh my god! Isn't this Lu Wenbin too despicable and shameless?"

Liu Yueniang and the spectators outside all looked at Lu Wenbin with disdain.

Well……

Lu Wenbin was so ashamed that his face was like pig liver, he was so ashamed that he covered his face with his sleeves and roared at Jiang Chen:

"Jiang, don't get too happy too early. I'll keep an eye on you! I want to see how you can collect two hundred strings in three days! Humph! Let's see!"

After saying that, he glanced at Wang Baozhang very unhappy and ran away dejectedly.



Um?

Can you collect two hundred strings in three days?

When Liu Yueniang and Liu Mingjie heard this, they all looked at Jiang Chen in surprise.

However, she did not ask questions on the spot. It was not until she returned home and closed the door that her aunt was the first to ask:

"Brother Chen, how did you get two hundred guan together in three days? Did you make some promise to Baochang Wang? How could you possibly get that much money?"

If we can’t get it together, wouldn’t it hurt us and Mingjie?”

When Liu Mingjie heard this, he said nervously: "How about we ask He Neiguan for help in explaining items 1 and 2?"

"The family has no money left, how can the official be willing to help so easily?"

The cousin shook his head, stared at Jiang Chen expectantly and nervously and said, "Brother Chen, is the Taoist brother you mentioned real?"

"Although my cousin is relieved, in the eyes of my Taoist disciple, that Wang Baozhang is nothing more than a clown, not worth mentioning at all!"

Jiang Chen's face was calm and calm. After sitting down, he waved to the little girl Xiang'er and said: "Come, give me a squeeze on your shoulder. If you squeeze it well, I will bring you delicious food tomorrow."

!”

"Yes, uncle!"

Seeing Jiang Chen so relaxed and at ease, Xiang'er immediately felt at ease and began to serve him with a shy smile.

Well……

Isn't he too confident?

Does he really have nothing to rely on?

My cousin and aunt looked at each other. Although they felt uneasy, they couldn't ask any more questions.

After risking his life to eat a dinner, he took Liu Mingjie and burped away together.



As soon as they left, Liu Yueniang said with an apologetic look: "Mr. sir, it's all me that has dragged you down. If you can't..."

"Can't what?"

Jiang Chen glared at her angrily: "You don't want to have a good rest at home today because you don't believe that I can make money back;

The casual instigation of two ignorant women can make you and Xiang'er's faces change drastically, and it's also because you don't trust me..."

"I don't."

Liu Yueniang lowered her head and quibbled in a low voice. She took a peek at Jiang Chen's face and said, "I just can't figure out why my husband is willing to marry me if he is so capable!"

"This issue... it's very complicated to talk about. I'd better talk it over with Madam Bingzhuye!"

Jiang Chen looked at Liu Yueniang's charming face that added a bit of charm, and his heart felt warm as he hugged her.

Night talk by candlelight?

Will you be free to talk to me then?

Liu Yueniang blushed with embarrassment. She struggled and jumped down. While running to Xiang'er's boudoir, she said in a panic: "Let's talk about it another day. My back hurts."
