Chapter 4 You Are Poor
The foot of the car and boat shop should be killed even if you are not guilty!
Jiang Chu was very familiar with this sentence, but he had never experienced it personally in the past. It was not until he stepped onto Chu County again that he finally understood the meaning of this sentence.
"Customer, you are also well-dressed. Why can't you afford the rent for a car but you can't afford the rent?"
With his legs crossed, the coachman sat in the carriage with a yellow sweat towel on his shoulder. His small triangle eyes showed a hint of disdain. He opened his mouthful of yellow teeth and said, "I have pulled you back from the riverside. According to your instructions, it is running non-stop. Look, my thousand-mile horse is so tired that I breathe."
The short, yellow horse suddenly sniffed, and cooperated to make a panting sound, and a smell was still emitted on its body.
"I look easy to bully?" Jingjing looked at the coachman, Jiang Chu raised his eyebrows slightly and asked indifferently.
"Look at what you said, how do you call bullying you?" The coachman tilted his mouth and grabbed the sweat towel on his shoulder unhappily, wiped the sweat, and shouted loudly, "Everyone comes to judge me, I'll just drive the car. You are a rich young man, and you are the only one who bullies me. I don't have the courage to bully you."
With this shout, the people around him immediately surrounded him and surrounded the inn doorstep.
"Hundred-two silver patterns, let alone just come back from the Lingjiang River, even if you are asked to run back and forth for a year, I'm afraid it's enough to make a surplus. Has anyone heard of such a price?" A look of disgust flashed in his eyes, and Jiang Chu asked faintly.
"Hey, the price is a little higher, but what did you say when you came to me?" After a haha, the coachman grinned and sneered, "I said there was something wrong, but what did you say? You said, as long as you bring you to Chujun, the price is easy to say, I will bring you back now, right?"
"What? Do you regret it now?" Rolling your eyes, the coachman suddenly spitted thick phlegm on the ground, "Bah, I don't have money, why are you pretending to be big-headed garlic! He was well-dressed, but he couldn't even afford the car. Don't you feel embarrassed?"
"Haha, that's it, what's the big deal if you don't have money?" There was no expectation. As soon as the coachman finished speaking, someone in the crowd suddenly interrupted, and the tone was the same tricky and damn.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and in an instant, Jiang Chu reacted. This situation did not seem like an accident, or all of this was completely plotted against.
As soon as he thought of this, Jiang Chu glanced at everyone and suddenly realized that many people's expressions were a little strange, and he immediately understood in his heart.
Shaking his head slightly, Jiang Chu had no intention of arguing. He took out a silver note of 100 taels from his arms, calmly placed it on the carriage, and turned around and walked towards the inn.
It is really a good deal to quarrel with such a small person. With Jiang Chu's pride, he doesn't bother to attack such a person.
Such a move immediately made the coachman stunned. He seemed to have never expected that Jiang Chu would actually give him 100 taels of silver. He seemed to have thought of something, but he was a little afraid. He opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to go on.
If the other party argues, then it will be easy to mess with the bottom of the situation. However, if you just throw one or two hundred silver over, you won’t even bother to say something to yourself. How can you continue?
"No, this young master, our shop is small and can't afford to entertain. I think you should find another guest like you."
Seeing Jiang Chu walking towards the inn, the inn quickly came out and reached out to stop him.
"If, I must live?" Jiang Chu said lightly after his eyes narrowed.
"Oh, look at what you said, we all pay attention to being kind and making money. We can't force ourselves to buy and sell, right? This small shop is small and cannot be treated. You should find another place."
His eyes fell on an inn opposite, but before Jiang Chu could speak, the waiter opposite him started speaking, "Oh, shopkeeper, you are wrong. You can't treat such a distinguished guest, so we can't afford to treat even more."
"Hey, my young master, look, I am the most shameful person. I have a wood-room outside the city. Are you willing to live there? If you are willing, a thousand taels of silver will be free of charge. We guarantee that you have a place to live and will take care of a meal. Do you want to live there?"
A young man in the crowd shook his head, looking very unsightly, and said with a bit of joking look in his eyes.
For a moment, Jiang Chu suddenly fell silent.
Judging from this situation, this is not a problem with one or two stores. I am afraid that the entire Chu County will not have a place to settle for itself.
This action was fast enough. I had already arranged it as soon as I arrived in Chu County, making it difficult for me to move forward. Is this a warning?
The hand fell silently on the sword, and Jiang Chu's brows tightly locked.
"Oh, it's amazing! Is this going to kill someone?" Seeing Jiang Chu pressing his sword, someone jumped up and shouted exaggeratedly, "Is there any other way around? Is there a murder in broad daylight?"
As soon as he shouted, someone immediately agreed, "That's right, go and report to the official position. The world of light is to force people to buy and sell forcibly? Don't be a son of humanity."
A trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. Jiang Chu pressed the sword's hand, slowly lowered it, and turned around and walked outward.
Draw a sword? Are these bewitched villains worth drawing their own sword?
"Does go away, dos go away, everyone stays away from him. Maybe he is a thug and wants to kill and rob?"
Amid the noise of noise, a blank space suddenly appeared on the street. Everyone looked at Jiang Chu like a beast, and they were afraid of avoiding it.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
While speaking, several guards opened the way in the distance, protecting Wei Yuan and rode a little red horse towards Jiang Chu.
"Mr. Jiang, don't be as knowledgeable as these villains. Since I have returned to Chu County, my Wei family will entertain you." With a faint smile on my face, Wei Yuan jumped off the horse and spoke up.
"Didn't these people be arranged by you?" Jiang Chu asked softly at Wei Yuan.
After a slight pause, Wei Yuan then smiled bitterly, "Young Master Jiang misunderstood, let's take a step to speak."
After looking at the crowd around, Wei Yuan bowed to Jiang Chu.
He glanced at Wei Yuan thoughtfully. Jiang Chu walked away without comment and quickly left the street, stopping under a secluded old locust tree.
"To be honest, now... this Chu County is almost completely controlled by the Zhang family."
Standing in front of Jiang Chu and signaling the guards to avoid them from afar, Wei Yuan then said in a deep voice.
"Lin family, didn't you agree to protect your Wei family?" Jiang Chu asked calmly with a raised eyebrows.
"The Lin family has repented." A bitter look appeared in his eyes. Wei Yuan lowered his head and said softly, "Now, Luo Jianguang has arrived in Chu County in person and fully supports the Zhang family to suppress us. The original business and power of the Wei family have now been taken away by the Zhang family."
Nodded slightly, Jiang Chu still did not answer.
"Young Master Jiang also saw that these people were all the means of the Zhang family, and the purpose was to make it difficult for the young master to move in Chu County." After a pause, Wei Yuan continued, "Now, you are still a member of the Star Palace. If you attack these ordinary people, you will immediately give Luo Jianguang the excuse of killing the people indiscriminately and mobilize the army to siege and kill the young master."
"So what?" Jiang Chu was still unmoved.
"I know, the Wei family owe you a lot." Wei Yuan lowered his head and whispered, "But you can't deny that you have some feelings for the Wei family after all! Now, when you return to Chu County, you should join forces with my Wei family to defeat the conspiracy between Luo Jianguang and Zhang family. I can guarantee that as long as the Wei family can regain the Chu County, they will definitely help with all their strength!"
"Miss Wei." He spoke calmly, but no longer called Miss as before. In the Star Palace, Jiang Chu once said that he was called Miss Wei Yuan the last time he would break up with the Wei family in the future and would have no friendship. Jiang Chu still remembered this.
Hearing this title, Wei Yuan couldn't help but feel slightly sank in his heart. He also understood that his idea of trying to arouse Jiang Chu's sympathy was completely lost.
"I said it a long time ago that I have nothing to do with the Wei family anymore."
"Even if it doesn't matter... Now, if you want to gain a foothold in Chu County, you cannot lack the help of my Wei family." Looking up and facing Jiang Chu's gaze, Wei Yuan slowly spoke, "Now, not only the Wei family needs your help, but you also need the help of the Wei family! Putting aside other things, you shouldn't refuse even if it's a simple transaction."
"Trade?" A faint sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth. Jiang Chu shook his head without objection, and did not answer.
"Yes, you have seen the situation just now. Now, in Chu County, no one dares to take you in except my Wei family! Without the help of my Wei family, you have no place in Chu County! As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress local snakes! Even if you have become a strong man in Ningxing Realm, you must not eat, drink or sleep, right?"
"Believe me, the Lin family will not let you go! Now, only by joining forces with my Wei family can you have the possibility of gaining a foothold, waiting for an opportunity to strengthen yourself, and compete with the Lin family and the Lord of Jingzhou! Chu County is your springboard!"
Looking at Wei Yuan silently for a full minute, Jiang Chu then sighed softly, "Wei Yuan, do you know? You are very pitiful."
Wei Yuan had thought about countless possibilities, but he had never expected that Jiang Chu would say such a sentence, and for a moment, he had no idea how to proceed.
"Any family will rise and fall freely, resist the prosperity of the entire family on your shoulders, and pay any price for it... Is this the meaning of your life? Isn't you pitiful?"
Shaking his head slightly, Jiang Chu continued, "In the past, in the bamboo forest, I admired your decisiveness and thanked your kindness, so I helped you! But I didn't expect that for the sake of the Wei family, you silenced all the innocent servants."
"I know that you are responsible for the survival of the Wei family, so even when you treat each other coldly during the Star inheritance, I am not upset."
"But... you shouldn't betray me!"
"In front of the Star Palace, I had murderous intentions, but you begged and even offered to be a slave!" A faint look of memory appeared in your eyes, and Jiang Chu sighed softly, "Although I disdain, I am also moved by your persistence. Therefore, I thought I finally let the Wei family go in the midst of my life."
"But... you have done enough." Jiang Chu slowly turned around, and said softly, "Now, for the sake of the Wei family, you have to use me again and be the sword in your hand. Don't you think it's too much?"
"......It's not just a use! You can also use the power of my Wei family to compete with Luo Jianguang and the Lord of Jingzhou!" Wei Yuan still argued with his eyes a little dodged.
"That bamboo forest is still there?" Jiang Chu asked suddenly without answering.
"Here!" Wei Yuan's eyes flashed with surprise and said, "Did you agree?"
"You should ask, have you figured it out?" Shaking your head slightly, Jiang Chu left by himself, "I will live in the bamboo forest these days. If you can figure it out, come to the bamboo forest to find me."
