I've heard of people borrowing money, firewood, rice, oil and salt, hoes and winnowing pans, but this is the first time I've seen people borrowing houses.
Song Zhang couldn't recover from his words of tiger and wolf for a long time.
"No, Dean Jiang, is there any misunderstanding between us?"
Song Zhang came to his senses and knew that he couldn't continue to pretend to be stupid. He said with a smile: "You think otherwise, how about I offer fifty taels of silver as a blessing to my ancestor?"
Jiang Ning said nothing, but the students behind him were extremely excited.
"Fifty taels of silver, tsk tsk tsk, I'm rich!"
"I calculated, one family is fifty taels, five families are two hundred and fifty taels, ten families are five hundred taels..."
"I have already thought about how to rebuild the academy. This time I want to be extravagant!"
Su Zhao covered his face and whispered angrily: "Shut up, look at your little potential, it's like you have seen money!"
It's so embarrassing. Fifty taels of silver made them happy like this!
After saying that, she seemed to remember something and looked at Jiang Ning hurriedly. Seeing that Jiang Ning was not as hopeless as these students, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Jiang Ning felt this scene and the corner of his mouth twitched.
In Aunt Su’s mind, am I such a person without a pattern?
No, you have to prove it yourself!
Jiang Ning coughed twice and said with a smile: "It's not impossible for the Song family to exchange money for the house. You see, otherwise, your dedication to the college over the years has been obvious to all. I can sell you a favor to the Song family."
A broken household means a broken household, Song Zhang said with disdain in his heart.
However, before Song Zhang showed his gratitude, he heard Jiang Ning say quietly: "The price of friendship is ten thousand taels of silver, no negotiation!"
Song Zhang's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Ten thousand taels of silver, why don't you go and grab it!"
He didn't say anything, but Mrs. Song's wife couldn't hold back her temper and yelled: "You are such a poor person, and you opened your mouth for ten thousand taels. I was really puzzled. You farted in your belly button. What did you think?"
Take a photo of yourself without peeing!"
The woman was dressed in gold and silver, with heavy makeup, standing next to Song Zhang, as if she was fearless.
Before Song Zhang went to Qingling with everyone, Jiang Ning's background had been discussed in the family, so the woman knew that Jiang Ning lived in the Zhang family's poor family.
Naturally, I am not afraid of him!
Jiang Ning was not angry when he heard this, but his tone was a bit colder than before.
He said calmly: "Twenty thousand taels. If Mrs. Song continues to scold me, I will keep adding more. This court would like to see how much wealth your Song family has that you, a shrew, can spread!"
"Who are you calling a shrew? Who are you calling a shrew!"
The woman was like a cat that stepped on its tail. She pushed Song Zhang to the side, pointed at Jiang Ning and cursed: "You little bastard, who are you calling a shrew? I think you are the shrew. Your whole family is uneducated."
splash....."
Snapped!
A clear voice interrupted the woman's insults.
Mrs. Song came to her senses in a daze and saw a woman wearing a dark blue long-sleeved gown looking at her coldly.
Just now, she suddenly appeared and slapped him!
"you……"
Su Zhao interrupted her expressionlessly and said, "Who did you call a little bastard just now?"
The burning pain on her cheek made Mrs. Song's angry chest rise and fall. With a dissatisfied look on her face, she pointed at Su Zhao and cursed: "I called him a little bastard...ah!"
Another slap!
Mrs. Song didn't even see clearly how she took action, and the same burning sting came from the other side of her face.
"I scolded him today, and I want to scold him again... ah!"
"Do you know who I am? How dare you... ow!"
"What on earth are you...ah!"
"ah!"
After being slapped five times in succession, Mrs. Song's face was extremely red and swollen.
She retreated to Song Zhang obediently, looking at Su Zhao fearfully, with tears in her eyes.
This time I was really scared of being beaten!
Su Zhao didn't use his spiritual energy, but each slap was still crisp and loud. Even Jiang Ning, who was sitting on the horse, felt a dull pain in his cheek.
"Aunt Su is so fierce!"
Jiang Ning silently applauded her in his heart.
"Master, you have to make the decision for me. This bitch dares to humiliate me in public!" The woman cried so hard that she snuggled into Song Zhang's arms and said reluctantly.
Song Zhang had a headache after hearing this, but he did not dare to confront Jiang Ning and his group, so he could only hold back his anger and said: "Dean Jiang Ning, I know that your cultivation is unparalleled, but this is Zhuozhou, the territory of Shangqing Taoist Temple.
It's not you who has the final say!
Today I will put my words here, if any of you dares to touch one of my Song family members again, I will go to Shangqing Taoist Temple to file a complaint and fight with you until death!"
Jiang Ning lay on the back of the horse, supported his chin with his hand, and said lazily: "It's already fifty thousand taels. Head of the Song family, Jiang is not that patient. I'll give you ten breaths to take out the banknotes, otherwise
Today I will clear up the old and new accounts with you."
He didn't bother to listen to Song Zhang's threats.
"You little..." The woman wanted to scold again when she heard the words, but when she saw Su Zhao staring at her, she immediately swallowed the words on her lips again and said stubbornly: "We really won't give you anything today."
Yes, I think you really dare to do anything to us!"
If a cultivator kills innocent people indiscriminately, if word spreads, he will be wanted by the four sects of the five courtyards!
She didn’t believe that Jiang Ning really dared to kill someone!
Song Zhang didn't say anything, but his look showed that he was clearly angry with his wife.
Jiang Ning sat up straight, stretched, and without wasting time, said softly: "Search the house!"
The students behind him had long been impatient and were waiting for Jiang Ning's words.
After hearing this, they immediately rushed into the Song Mansion like a swarm. Everyone in the Song family stepped forward to stop them, but without exception, they were all knocked to the ground. They watched helplessly as the family's antiques, calligraphy and paintings, tables, chairs and benches were put into mustard bags.
"Robbers, you bunch of robbers!" Song Zhang pointed at Jiang Ning, trembling and crying.
Jiang Ning sat firmly on the horse and said leisurely: "When the head of the Song family went to Qingling Academy and wanted to force me to death, did he ever think that today would happen?"
Song Zhang refused to listen and still cursed: "You little beast, you will be punished by God for doing this!"
Jiang Ning didn't listen and thought to himself: "Master Song, it's better to save some energy. Jiang is here today only to borrow money and won't hurt anyone. But if you don't know how to show appreciation, we don't mind sending you to follow Ma Zuozhi."
Things reminisce about old times.”
Perhaps the second half of the sentence had an effect, and Song Zhang's voice stopped abruptly.
He could see that Jiang Ning was not a good person.
If you make him anxious, he might actually kill someone...
"You...you, just wait for me. I will file a complaint with the county magistrate, the city lord, and go to the Shangqing Taoist Temple and let them punish you!"
Jiang Ning plucked his ears and looked like a playboy, and said: "What a coincidence, my next family is going to visit the Lord of Jinshui County, do you want to give me a kick?"
"You...you, Jiang Ning, you go too far!" Song Zhang trembled all over, his hair and beard spread out.
"I've been scolding you for just these two sentences, why can't you come up with something new?" Jiang Ning said disdainfully.
At this time, the students who had finished the search came over excitedly and said: "Go back to the dean, we found a total of eighty thousand taels worth of property in the Song family!"
Eighty thousand taels... Jiang Ning hummed and said, "Give them back 30,000 taels. After all, Jiang is a principled person. If he agreed to 50,000 taels, it will be fifty thousand taels!"
Humiliation, in the eyes of the Song family, what Jiang Ning did was blatant humiliation!
puff!
As the head of the family, Song Zhang was so angry that he raised his head and spurted blood.
When the property was calculated, Jiang Ning put his hands on the horse's belly and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Song, for being so generous. Jiang will accept these properties. When they are no longer needed, I will definitely return them and say goodbye."
After saying that, he took the lead and led more than 20 students towards the next place.
Everyone in the Song family looked at the messy mansion, their faces turned ashen.
"Master, this son is too arrogant, we absolutely can't swallow this!" An old man from the Song family said with eyes about to burst.
Song Zhang seemed to have aged dozens of years. He staggered and turned around to go back home. He happened to see the crying woman with pear blossoms and rain, and he was instantly angry.
"You bitch, cry, cry, cry, you know how to cry. If it weren't for you, bitch, how could our Song family have been blackmailed out of 40,000 taels of silver in vain? I'll beat you to death, bitch!"
.......
Jinshui County, the county official's residence.
The Duke of Jinshui County said respectfully with a flattering smile: "It's only fifty thousand taels of silver, which is not worth mentioning. It's just my filial piety towards Patriarch Qingling. I hope Dean Jiang will be more beautiful in front of Patriarch Qingling after he returns."
With just a few words, I would be very grateful."
Jiang Ning chuckled and said: "The county official is worthy of being a county official. He just understands the general situation. Don't worry, Jiang is a principled person. Your previous affairs at Qingling College have been wiped out. In the future, our two families will move around more."
"That's natural. From now on, I will have to rely on you, Mr. Dean." The Duke of Jinshui County nodded and bowed, not looking like a county official at all.
Jiang Ning smiled softly, and after saying a few polite words, he led everyone away.
After the Duke of Jinshui County watched them go away, he straightened his back, rushed to the guards behind him with a cold face and ordered: "Send someone to hurry up and report this matter to City Lord Zheng of Sanjiang City, and ask him to send strong men.
