Jiang Zhen didn't say anything and didn't let go. When Yang Jiang came, he just pretended that he didn't see it. Liu Heitou was very anxious, but he was afraid that this guy who didn't care and played cards according to common sense suddenly hurt himself, so he could only say to Yang Jiang: " Misunderstanding, there is a bit of a misunderstanding between us, Master Yang, what a misunderstanding."
What the hell! This Jiang Zhen is a lunatic! Why didn't he take it to heart after he heard the evaluation of him from He Xicun? !
Not to mention how annoyed and hated Liu Heitou was in his heart, under the circumstance that Jiang Zhen refused to soften, he could only soften himself first, hoping that Yang Jiang could help Jiang Zhen let him go.
"Boss, this... is a misunderstanding." Yang Jiang said to Jiang Zhen, he hoped that Jiang Zhen would let Liu Heitou go.
Don't look at Liu Heitou's "Yang Ye" and self-proclaimed "Little Hei" to Yang Jiang. He does this mainly because of his natural fear of government officials. Except for Jiang Zhen, the vast majority of people these days. , are afraid of the government.
However, Liu Heitou was very respectful to Yang Jiang, and Yang Jiang did not dare to offend Liu Heitou.
There was a high-ranking official in their county town, and now that person is already a high-ranking official of the second rank of the court, and that casino was his brother's work.
The person behind the casino is not even dared to provoke the county magistrate, and must be flattered. What is Yang Jiang's yamen? He lost money in it, and he never dared to default.
Although this Liu Heitou was just a thug, he was also highly valued by casino stewards, and Yang Jiang didn't want to conflict with him.
Jiang Zhen didn't speak, just gestured slightly to Yang Jiang where Liu Heitou couldn't see it.
Yang Jiang was slightly taken aback when he saw this, and persuaded Jiang Zhen again: "Boss, I also know Liu Heitou. Since I'm an acquaintance, I'll let the person go first. It's easy to discuss if you have something to say."
"It's okay to let people go, there's nothing to discuss, get out!" Jiang Zhen seemed to give Yang Jiang a face, and finally let go of Liu Heitou.
Liu Heitou glanced at Jiang Zhen resentfully, and left without looking back.
He lost his face this time! Even though Liu Heitou doesn't love face as much as Yang Jiang, it's a little hard to accept being treated like this.
Liu Heitou took his subordinates and left so quickly.
Jiang Zhen felt that he was malicious towards him, and frowned slightly, but he was not particularly afraid.
This Liu Heitou looks like a thug, and a thug has never been irreplaceable. Some people need a thug to help him, but they can't help the thug.
Jiang Zhen actually had something to ask Yang Jiang, but at this moment, he had to deal with the Liu family first.
Seeing Liu Heitou being knocked down and running away in despair, the Liu family has long been afraid, but Zhao Fugui, Zhao Jinge and others were caught and beaten before, and they were injured a little bit. Couldn't escape.
Jiang Zhen was still holding the bloody knife he snatched from Liu Heitou, which looked terrifying. Liu Dacheng looked at him, covered his bleeding mouth with two knocked out teeth and said with difficulty: "Misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding... We're here for wedding wine."
"Yeah, we're here for wedding wine." Liu Ermao also said.
"Are you here for wedding wine? Where's the gift money?" Jiang Zhen raised his eyebrows and asked, playing with the dagger in his hand.
The Liu family came to make trouble today, and brought a basket and a wooden barrel that they planned to take from the Zhao family, but they didn't take the gift money.
"We forgot to take it. We'll make it up next time, and we'll definitely make it up next time." Liu Dacheng said quickly, not only did his mouth get airy when he spoke, but it was also so painful that his tears were about to come out.
"Really?" Jiang Zhen asked with raised eyebrows.
"Jiang Zhen, don't believe them, what these people say is like farting." Zhao Fugui said indignantly.
"It's okay, Dad, you can let them write an IOU." Jiang Zhen smiled.
"IOUs?" Zhao Fugui was taken aback for a moment. Most of them in the countryside were illiterate. Even if they borrowed money, they would not write any IOUs.
For example, in their village, they usually ask the village chief Jiang Ping as a witness.
"It's an IOU." Jiang Zhen said, then looked at Wang Haisheng: "Go and fetch the pen, ink, paper and inkstone I bought last time."
Wang Haisheng responded, and immediately went to Jiang Zhen's house to get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that Jiang Zhen bought when he was in Fucheng.
When Jiang Zhen flipped through the book and found that he didn't know a lot of traditional characters, he planned to study it hard, and bought a set of the cheapest pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
As for why you have to be ruthless to buy the cheapest... It's just that pen, ink, paper and inkstone are too expensive at this time.
This set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone Jiang Zhen has never used at all, and it is still brand new.
Taking these things from Wang Haisheng, Jiang Zhen entered the house and said to Wang Haisheng, "You tie up the Liu family."
When Jiang Zhen spoke, Wang Haisheng immediately moved his hand, He Chunsheng, He Xiasheng, and Jiang Ming, the son of Jiang Ping who had just helped the fight, also went up to help.
Jiang Ping, the village chief of Hexi Village, has two sons in total. The eldest son, Jiang Quan, was the one who helped to supervise the construction of the house when Jiang Zhen asked the Jiang family for a house last time. He is already married, and he is a very stable person. The recognized heir of Jiang Ping, and the second son Jiang Ming... Seeing that his nose is bruised and swollen, and his face is full of excitement, he knows that his temperament is completely different from his father and brother.
Of course, this is also because of his young age. Jiang Ming is sixteen this year, and he is full of energy and has nowhere to go. It is not surprising that he likes fighting.
"This rope can't be tied like this..." Yang Jiang pointed at a few people next to him. He didn't dare to offend that Liu Heitou. The Liu family didn't take it seriously. As for tying people with ropes...
Although his technique of tying people is not as good as Jiang Zhen's, he has also learned it specially!
When Jiang Zhen finished grinding the ink and laid the paper to write, Liu Dacheng, Liu Ermao, and Liu Dacheng's eldest son were already tied up. The others were either young or women, but they didn't do it.
Glancing at Liu Dacheng, Jiang Zhen said: "I won't give you too much for the gift, even if it is 10 taels of silver, if you smashed something in my house, the compensation will also be 10 taels, and at the beginning, you borrowed it. My family's ten taels of silver..."
Where do I need ten taels of silver for the gift money? And the things they ate and drank broke, adding up to the sky was only 2 taels of silver, so Jiang Zhen actually wanted them to compensate 10 taels
Liu Dacheng was full of resentment, but he did not dare to refute.
Thirty-two is thirty-two. He can always delay, but if he can't, let his parents cry... Zhao Liu can't force his elderly parents to pay back the money.
Liu Dacheng has long been used to the matter of defaulting on his debts.
Liu Dacheng was thinking about it in his heart when he heard Jiang Zhen say again: "It adds up to a total of one hundred taels of silver. I will write an IOU, and you can just press a fingerprint."
"One hundred taels?" Liu Dacheng looked at Jiang Zhen in disbelief. Okay, why did he owe one hundred taels of silver? One hundred taels!
"Of course it's one hundred taels, how much do you think?" Jiang Zhen sneered.
"We borrowed 10 taels of silver back then..." Plus today's 20 taels shouldn't be 30 taels
"The remaining seventy taels are interest," Jiang Zhen frowned, "However, I seem to have calculated too little interest for you. Liu Heitou's loan to others can be doubled in a month. I can't compare it. He's bad…”
"It's a lot, a lot!" Liu Dacheng said quickly, if it doubled in a month as Jiang Zhen said, then it would take fifteen or sixteen years of money...
"It's fine if you think it's a lot." Jiang Zhen said, directly writing the loan note.
Jiang Zhen didn't learn traditional Chinese characters when he was in school, but for a while the school paid attention to quality education, so he learned some calligraphy.
That year, there was a calligraphy class every week. Although Jiang Zhen often changed it to a Chinese class, he didn't practice any calligraphy at all, but at least he could write with a brush, and his posture was quite standard.
"Today, Yang Dacheng, Yang Ermao, owes Brother Zhao Jin a hundred taels of silver." Jiang Zhen wrote and read, and quickly wrote a straight line.
These words are very simple, like that "Zhao", because it is Zhao Jinge's surname, he also used a branch to draw on the ground, so naturally there is no mistake.
At first glance, he is barely a literate person.
After the fight, Zhao Jinge felt that it was very unsightly for him to wear only middle clothes, and he put on new clothes regardless of how hot it was at this time.
After he finished dressing and tidied himself up, he came out of the new house. Jiang Zhen had already spread out the pen and paper, counting the silver taels owed to him by the Liu family.
Hearing that Jiang Zhen asked the Liu family to pay back one hundred taels of silver, Zhao Jinge felt very happy, and then he saw Jiang Zhen write.
Jiang Zhen can actually write! Jiang Zhen actually knew how to read!
Zhao Jinge looked at Jiang Zhen in shock, a little unable to recover. After being in contact with Jiang Zhen for a long time, he felt that Jiang Zhen was very, very powerful, but he didn't expect that he was even more powerful than he thought.
Jiang Zhen can actually read!
Brother Zhao Jin, who didn't know a single big character, suddenly felt a little inferior - compared with Jiang Zhen, he was really nothing.
As for why Jiang Zhen can read... Brother Zhao Jin quickly found the reason for him. Jiang's second and Jiang's third all went to school. It is estimated that Jiang Zhen just watched them study and learn.
Jiang Zhen was really amazing. At that time, if the Jiang family asked him to study, he might even be able to take the exam!
Zhao Jinge trusts Jiang Zhen inexplicably, and feels that Jiang Zhen has the ability to test talents, and other people are actually similar. Jiang Zhen was literate... This had a big impact on them.
Even if He Xicun is very wealthy, people who can read can count on two hands! Even Jiang Ping, the village chief, barely recognized a few words.
Zhao Liushi was very excited, and was even more satisfied with her son-in-law. Her brother Jin was really amazing, and he even found such a good son-in-law!
"Come on, draw!" Jiang Zhen put the IOU in front of the He brothers, and said to Wang Haisheng, "You grab their hands and let them make a fingerprint."
Wang Haisheng and He Chunsheng immediately went up to do it. At this time, Jiang Zhen said again: "Liu Dacheng and Liu Ermao, right? You better pay back the money quickly, otherwise... I'll take this IOU to the yamen to file a complaint. You go, it's not bad to owe money."
Yang Jiang: "..." You forced someone to write an IOU in front of me, the yamen, and said you were going to the yamen to file a complaint. Is this really okay
"If I tell the people in the yamen that I only need fifty taels for the hundred taels of silver, they will certainly be happy to help me with the debt." Jiang Zhen said again.
Yang Jiang: Of course I do!
When Liu Dacheng and Liu Ermao heard Jiang Zhen's words, they wanted to cry a little. How could their family have no money, how could they get one hundred taels of silver
Of course, if you sell the land, you will definitely pay it back, but how can ordinary people be willing to sell the land
"Okay, throw them out." Jiang Zhendao, what he said just now, in fact, also expressed the same meaning - an IOU of 100 taels, he only needs 50 taels.
If the Liu family came to pay back the money obediently, he wouldn't really force them to give one hundred.
After the Liu family left, Wang Haisheng and others began to clean up the house, but Jiang Zhen talked with the shopkeeper of the china shop.
The shopkeeper of this china shop has already negotiated a good price with the samples given by Jiang Zhen, and in Jiang Zhen's place, he originally wanted to lower the price and get more money, but now...
Thinking of Jiang Zhen's brutal appearance just now, the shopkeeper of the porcelain shop suddenly stopped his thoughts.
This Jiang Zhen, I'm afraid it's a bit of a backing, and he's so vicious, it's better not to offend him.
The shopkeeper of the china shop told the negotiated price without daring to hide it at all, but when he heard the price, Jiang Zhen was extremely satisfied.
This price is much higher than he expected!
After making an agreement with the shopkeeper to deliver the goods to the county tomorrow, Jiang Zhen invited the shopkeeper to stay for a wedding.
"No, I have something to do, I have to go back." The shopkeeper of the china shop hurriedly said, he was a little afraid of Jiang Zhen at the moment, and... With the mess all over the place, is there any wedding wine to drink
Jiang Zhen saw that the person refused, and did not continue to invite, so he sent the person out.
The cook they had originally hired had already run away, so Zhao Liu went to the kitchen to clean up the food. At this time, Jiang Zhen took Yang Jiang to the house where he lived before, and then asked, "Then Liu Heitou, what is it? What's the way?"
"Liu Heitou is the thug of the county's casino." Yang Jiang directly told everything he knew, and said, "The casino is not easy to mess with, you..."
"How's this casino review?" Jiang Zhen asked suddenly.
"It's not bad. Seeing that people have already lost, they are not allowed to go again. They won't force people to sell their sons and daughters." Yang Jiang said, the people behind this casino still want a reputation, because this casino doesn't know how to do it. overdo it.
"Can you help me meet the manager of this casino?" Jiang Zhen asked again.
"Can it be possible... What are you doing when you see that manager?" Yang Jiang asked inexplicably.
"Do you think that the person in charge is looking for a thug, a thug like Liu Heitou who can cause trouble and has a lot of thoughtful thoughts, or a thug like me?" Jiang Zhen asked.
Jiang Zhen is trying to recommend himself? Speaking of which, Jiang Zhen is more powerful than Liu Heitou. With such a choice, the person in charge might not want that Liu Heitou.
Liu Heitou lent money in private and gathered a group of people to gamble in Qiaotou Village. That manager would definitely not like it.
And without the casino as the backstage, Liu Heitou would be nothing.
Jiang Zhen responded, but did not say that he actually had other ideas.
He doesn't like being under people, and of course he doesn't want to be a thug for others. At this time... he actually remembered something.
After Jiang Zhen crossed over, he always felt that he had nothing that could be exchanged for money or skills that could be used, but now he suddenly thought of the same thing.
That thing may not be able to be used to pay back the money, but it should make the casino people look at him highly, that is... cards.
Jiang Zhen actually didn't know much about gambling, but even so, he could play a few cards, and he could remember what the fifty-four cards looked like.
In modern casinos, playing cards are absolutely essential, but here, there is no such thing at all.
Jiang Zhen can't make money with this idea, but his favorability is enough to brush the casino...
Without this method, Jiang Zhen estimated that he could only solve this crisis by acting as a thug, but with this method, it would be different.
Of course, the top priority is to have a full stomach and then go to the bridal chamber.
Speaking of which, it's fortunate that Liu Heitou didn't destroy his bridal chamber, otherwise... He would never let him go so easily!
