Jiang Zhen tied Yang Jiang's upper body firmly with a rope, and took Yang Jiang into the kitchen. He had the biggest meal in the world. After all the trouble, he was hungry.
Mrs. Jiang had already made her lunch. Probably because Jiang Chengxiang would come back today and bring the yamen back, she made it quite rich.
A pot of fragrant white rice was cooked in a large iron pot, and a bowl of bacon, a bowl of steamed eggs, a bowl of garlic, and uncooked green vegetables and tofu were steamed on the steaming rack above.
Jiang Zhen eats an egg every day these days, and eats some small fish and shrimp with Zhao Jinge in the evening, but he has not eaten meat for several days. Seeing the bowl of thinly sliced and steamed bacon, he can smell it. The smell of meat, I just feel that I can eat all the bacon in this pot of rice.
Taking a piece of bacon with chopsticks and stuffing it into his mouth, Jiang Zhen immediately took a bowl to serve rice.
Those little fish and prawns lacked oil and salt when they were boiled, and they didn't taste very good. Although he wanted to eat some every day for the sake of his own body, he was tired of eating it long ago. This bacon is different...
With the bacon, Jiang Zhen ate a big chunk of it and ate two big bowls of rice in one go before putting down the bowls and chopsticks reluctantly. Boss Jiang's stomach has long been stretched by drinking porridge all the year round, so he can actually have two more bowls of rice, but eating too much will affect his actions, so he will endure it.
Anyway, with the yamen in hand, he doesn't have to worry about running out of food.
When Jiang Zhen was eating, the Jiang family was discussing with the village chief and some other villagers on the drying field outside the Jiang's house what to do next.
All of them have the same opinion that Jiang Zhen's arrest of a yamen cannot be known to outsiders, let alone reported to the official - if Jiang Zhen is angered, Jiang Zhen may make the matter worse!
In this case, they can only try their best to meet Jiang Zhen's requirements.
"Forty taels of silver! Where did our family get forty taels of silver, even if we sold me, we wouldn't be able to get so much money!" Mrs. Jiang sat on the ground, crying and grabbing the ground, but she didn't want to pay.
The Jiang family had a good life, and their family was solid, but forty taels of silver... I really couldn't come up with it right now.
A few months ago, their family still had 60 taels of silver, but Jiang Chengxiang took 30 taels as a betrothal gift, and spent another 20 taels on various things in order to be able to do it decently. A total of seven or eight taels of silver.
"I still have some money there. I'll get it later. We have to collect enough money to give it to him." Jiang Chengxiang said, Yang Jiangke is still in Jiang Zhen's hands.
"The third one, how much money do you have?" Butcher Jiang asked.
"I don't have much money, but Shufen has it, so I should be able to get 10 taels out." Jiang Chengxiang said that his wages in the county are not low, and he has 2 taels every month, but he has only worked for two years , Naturally, I can't save too much money. That money was posted when I married Zhu Shufen. The Zhu family originally wanted forty taels of dowry, but Mrs. Jiang was only willing to pay thirty taels, so he could only post ten two.
However, he has no money, but Zhu Shufen has money.
Butcher Jiang became irritable: "You only have 10 taels of silver, your mother and your second brother together estimate that it is only 10 taels. Where can we find forty taels of silver?"
"The one who killed Qiandao, he wants to kill us! How can you get paid to work for your own family?" Madam Jiang cried even more when she heard the butcher Jiang revealing his family background. I don't want to take out the money.
In the past, Jiang Chengxiang would definitely coax Mrs. Jiang at this time, but he was not in that mood at all today.
Bowing to the people around him, Jiang Chengxiang said, "Everyone, our family really can't get forty taels of silver. I don't know if we can borrow some from you?" idea.
The people in the village are all here, and if one borrows some from another, they can always collect the money and pay it back later.
"Chengxiang, I'll lend you five taels of silver." The village chief Jiang Ping said: "I'm just a farmer, and I still have a few half-sized children at home, and I can't get any more."
If it weren't for the village chief, he couldn't let Boss Jiang kill the yamen, Jiang Ping would not even be willing to take out five taels of silver.
It was clearly the Jiang family who treated Boss Jiang so badly that they forced Boss Jiang into a lunatic. Why do they want them to take money
Jiang Ping opened his mouth, and several other Jiang family members agreed to borrow money more or less, and most of them were willing to give two or three taels of silver, while the few could only take one tael of silver out.
After a while, counting the Jiang family's own twenty taels, they made up thirty-seven eight taels.
The villagers who have a good relationship with the Jiang family are willing to borrow money, but those who have a general relationship with the Jiang family are not willing - the Jiang family has borrowed so much money this time, who knows how long it will take them to pay it back
However, not willing to borrow money, they are willing to sell well elsewhere. A villager who often went to the pier to work said: "Jiang Laosan, my family is poor and I don't have much money, but I have a lot of strength. The broken thatched hut in the west of your village can't live in at all. If you want to move in, I'm afraid you will have to smash the wall again. , I can do this."
"I want a house even after taking the money, that bastard has such a big face!" Madam Jiang said again.
The piece of land in the west of the village is not big and not fertile. Usually, people grow vegetables and beans at random. The thatched cottage has long been uninhabitable. For the Jiang family, the two things are not worth anything, but even so, Mr. Jiang Too happy to give them to Jiang Zhen.
Butcher Jiang was actually reluctant, but he was really afraid of Jiang Zhen... With a sigh, Butcher Jiang wanted to take someone to the west of the village to see, but before he could speak, he saw Jiang Zhen dragging Yang Jiang from the kitchen Out.
"I knew that bastard was so abhorrent, I should have given birth to him in the toilet and drowned him in a basin of water!" Mrs. Jiang didn't see Jiang Zhen, and was still scolding: "Why doesn't he? To die, even living is a scourge!"
"Don't talk about it!" Butcher Jiang shouted at Mrs. Jiang, and looked at Jiang Zhen nervously.
Jiang Zhen pulled Yang Jiang and looked at the people outside with a half-smile, but as soon as Mrs. Jiang saw him, it was as if someone had strangled her throat, and her voice stopped abruptly.
"I remembered, that broken thatched house is really bad, and it took a lot of effort to renovate. You should build a new house next to me. There must be two large houses facing south, and the stove and the iron pot are indispensable. To build a thatched hut..." Jiang Zhen put forward a bunch of demands, and finally said: "You better not try to cut corners, if you don't do well, maybe I will cut a few pieces of meat off this official. ."
After speaking, Jiang Zhen gestured a few times on Yang Jiang's face with a knife.
Yang Jiang had been slashed in the face by Jiang Zhen before, and his face was covered in blood. Now he looked extremely miserable, and it also made people believe Jiang Zhen's words.
This evil star, he really dares to cut human flesh!
"Big brother, we will definitely build the house for you. If you have something to say, don't be impulsive..." Jiang Chengxiang said quickly, he really regretted it now. If he had known that his big brother was such a person, he would definitely not go. offend him.
"If you want Lao Tzu to talk well, then hurry up and do things!" Jiang Zhen said coldly: "By the way, Lao Tzu's household registration is also independent of Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu doesn't want to get involved with your group of people!"
Seeing Jiang Zhen's fierce appearance, Jiang Chengxiang subconsciously took a few steps back.
Jiang Zhen was in a good mood when he looked at him like a coward. He didn't want to look up, but saw Brother Zhao Jin looking at him outside the crowd.
Jiang Zhen: "..."
He is going to tell his brother Jin now that he is actually a very reasonable person, is it too late
Jiang Zhen was a little worried, but soon, his heart was relieved - Zhao Jinge looked at him with worried eyes, but he didn't feel disgusted.
He knew that his brother Jin liked him very much and would definitely not hate him.
Jiang Zhen wanted to laugh a little, but after coughing twice, he didn't let himself laugh seriously. In the end, he didn't show a ferocious expression to scare people, but pushed Yang Jiang, whose hands were tied, into Jiang Laosan's house, and said to the people outside: "I'll sleep for a while, you better hurry up and give me the matter. done!"
With that said, Jiang Zhen slammed the door shut.
Zhao Jinge looked at the closed door, and became even more worried. That guy Jiang Zhen actually did something to the yamen, should he be okay
Zhao Jinge was working for the big family Zhao today as usual, but he didn't expect to be halfway through the work, and suddenly heard that something happened to the Jiang family.
Did something happen to the Jiang family? Will Jiang Zhen be alright? Thinking that in the past, even if he didn't come to talk to him, he would always walk in front of him for a few laps, and at noon, he would come to call him for dinner, and Jiang Zhen didn't even show a shadow today, and Zhao Jinge couldn't help feeling anxious.
Not in the mood to work any more, he informed the big family of Zhao, and went back to the village, and then saw a lot of people surrounding the gate of Jiang's house.
Before he could find out anything, Zhao Jinge saw Jiang Zhen came out of the hall with a yamen, and the yamen looked like he was being ravaged...
What exactly is going on
Zhao Jinge watched Jiang Zhen enter the house of Jiang's third child, and asked a pair of children who were watching the fun.
"It seems that Jiang Laosan brought a yamen back and wanted to arrest Jiang Boss and go to jail, but Jiang Boss caught the yamen in turn." The pair broke away uncomfortably and looked at Zhao Jinge, who was similar to a man. Holding his hand, he sighed again: "What can we do now? There is a yamen in our village. Do you think that those yamen who come to our village to collect taxes in the future will charge a lot more?"
"This Boss Jiang is going too far. He beats his parents and brothers, and even beats the yamen!" Someone interrupted.
"Yeah, this person is too much! I don't think Mrs. Jiang is wrong. He is really not a thing. No wonder Mr. Jiang wants to find the yamen to arrest him." Another humane said.
"Keep your voice down, don't let that evil star hear!" A timid humane said.
Everyone kept their mouths together. Now, none of them are not afraid of Jiang Zhen.
The people in the village were worried that if they offended the people in the yamen, they would get into trouble, but when Zhao Jinge heard what they said, he was worried about Jiang Zhen, and he was disgusted with Jiang Laosan.
What is he going to do now? Would you like to visit Jiang Zhen? Help him a little bit
"Brother Jin, why are you here? Come home with me." Zhao Liu also came to watch the fun, but she didn't expect to see her son here. She took a few steps forward and took Zhao Jinge's hand, and said: "Boss Jiang is crazy, and even beat the yamen, we should go back quickly, so as not to cause trouble."
Zhao Jinge trembled when he saw his mother's thin appearance, and withdrew his feet to move towards Jiang Zhen.
"Brother Jin, you can stop dealing with that Boss Jiang in the future, and don't take his fish. We can't afford to offend such an evil star." Zhao Liu took his son to the house and walked for a while. After the road, he said to his son.
My son has been very close to Boss Jiang during this period of time, and this can no longer be the case in the future.
"Mother, he's not a bad person." Zhao Jinge couldn't help defending Jiang Zhen.
"Mother can see it today, he can kill his own father... We can't afford to offend such a person in our family, so it's better to stay away." Zhao Liushi added: "And... Now the people in the village don't like him. "They can't fight against the villagers.
Brother Zhao Jin moved his lips and fell silent.
For the sake of his parents, he definitely can't go to Jiang Zhen in the daytime, why don't he... go see him at night
