Wangdu, Qingyang Lane.
The early morning sun poured into the courtyard, and a young man in a coarse linen shirt was sweating like rain practicing a set of sword skills.
This mansion is very spacious, the vermilion lacquer gate, the tall walls, and the spacious layout all show the wealth and prosperity of this mansion in the past.
It's just that now, the vermilion lacquer of the gate, under the washing of the years, has lost a lot of paint, and it looks a little mottled and messy, and the tall wall, with some tattered gaps, seems to be unable to block the wind and rain outside.
And the spacious layout of the interior also seems empty, and there is no decent furniture to be found.
No matter how illustrious and wealthy this mansion once was, the owner who lives here now is definitely down. Every detail proves this.
It's just that the teenager in this yard doesn't seem to be willing to accept this cruel reality. Encouraged by a mood of revitalizing the family way, he cultivated extremely hard. This set of knife skills, he smells the chickens and dances every day, and has been practicing for more than eight years.
He had no choice, it seemed that he wanted to use the knife in his hand to regain the lost glory and the prominence that this mansion should have.
Bang!
The vermilion lacquer gate was slammed open.
A group of wolf-like evil servants, surrounded by a young man in his twenties, rushed in.
"Guo Jin, are you still in the mood to practice martial arts? Today is the last deadline, this house, do you want to let it or not?"
This young man smiled gloomily, but his tone was like a young man who was completely determined to practice swords.
The young man Guo Jin stopped, put the knife on his shoulder, and said coldly: "The surname is Zhou, this mansion is handed down by my ancestors, and it is the glory of my Guo family." You can talk about anything else, you want me to sell my ancestral home, but you still die of this heart!"
"Don't want to?" the young man surnamed Zhou said with a smile, "Then let's settle the account, last year you borrowed 10,000 taels from my bank, and now, it's been exactly a year." With interest, you have to pay back fifteen thousand taels. Either pay back the money immediately, or I will immediately report to the government and seal up your house. ”
"Don't blame me Zhou Tan for not telling you, when you get to the official mansion, even if you eat the belt bones, there won't be much left for you. I, Zhou Tan, are now bidding you 80,000 taels of silver, and when I get to the official mansion, the last thing that falls into your hands is 8,000 yuan, even if your Guo family's ancestral tomb is smoking. ”
This week, Tan Nai is the young owner with the largest ticket number in the royal capital, and there are ways to do white and black roads. He took a fancy to this house, whether it was through the government or other means, to deal with this helpless young man with a declining family, he thought that he was nine out of ten.
The young Guo Jin just shook his head: "Zhou Tan, you can kill or chop if you want, if you want this mansion, if you want me to betray my ancestors, absolutely not." ”
"Betraying the ancestors?" Zhou Tan smiled meaningfully, "You think too much." Even if you are a young man who is ignorant, and as far as your father's notorious deserter is concerned, do you still mean to mention your ancestors? ”
Deserter!
This word, like electricity, made the young Guo Jin's whole body twitch slightly, and in his eyes, which were originally relatively restrained, suddenly shot out a killing intent like a wild beast going crazy.
"Zhou Tan, what you said just now, can you try it again?"
The hand holding the handle of the knife trembled slightly, and Guo Jin's eyes showed a terrible scarlet, as if he was about to jump forward and fight with Zhou Tan at any time.
Father, in Guo Jin's heart, is an absolutely untouchable forbidden area!
"Hmph, say it or not, the reputation of the royal capital is there. If you don't let me say it, can you block the mouths of people all over the world?" Zhou Tan obviously didn't care much about Guo Jin's ruthlessness.
It's just that he is here to seize the mansion, but he doesn't want to fight to the death.
"Fart, it's all fart! I said, my father is not a deserter, he is not a deserter! Who dares to say that he is a deserter, who am I fighting with! Zhou Tan, you try again!"
The green tendons on his neck bloomed, and the boy roared, his black face flushed, obviously angry to the extreme.
Zhou Tan's face sank: "Guo Jin, I am not interested in paying attention to your father's affairs." I'm here today to give you the most ultimatum. Either the house will be transferred to me, or I will raid your house through the government! You only need these two choices! Don't think that you can bluff me by putting on a desperate appearance. Don't say that your ancestors don't have that wealth anymore, even if it's still there, so what?"
"I, Zhou Tan, can look up to your mansion, that is the face of your Guo family. In other words, I beg Young Master Ben to accept your mansion, and Young Master Ben may not be happy to accept it!"
"Kids, get ready. If this surnamed Guo is not interested, he will be beaten out of the old and the small. Don't spare your hands, beat them to death, pull them out and feed the dogs!"
This week, Tan's patience has obviously been almost exhausted.
The group of evil servants under his command, when they heard the master's order, they all rubbed their hands and bullied Guo Jin with bad intentions.
Guo Jin raised his steel knife and roared: "Whoever dares to come up will die first!"
Zhou Tan snorted coldly: "The surname Guo, it seems that you don't see the Yellow River and don't die! ”
Bang Bang Bang!
At this moment, a shrill applause suddenly sounded outside the gate.
Then someone snorted and said: "Under the blue sky and white sun, breaking into the house and killing people, is this still the world of the Eastern Kingdom?"
This scene was unexpected by Zhou Tan. He couldn't imagine that in this Qingyang Lane, someone would dare to meddle with the affairs of his Zhou family. Is this a long life?
"Who are you? The debt dispute between my Zhou's ticket number and the borrower is your business?" Zhou Tan was obviously used to running rampant in the royal capital.
"It's none of my business. Now, though, it's my business. A young man, with a confident and calm smile, his starry eyes moving slightly, with four subordinates, paced in unhurriedly.
The person who came, naturally it was Jiang Chen, the little marquis of Jiang Hanhou's mansion.
Whoa!
The evil servant of the Zhou family immediately formed a circle and surrounded Jiang Chen and the four entourages of the Shengzi camp.
Jiang Chen ignored those flickering swords and shadows, but glanced at Zhou Tan for a long time: "How much does he owe you?"
Zhou Tan sneered: "What's the matter with you? Now it's not a matter of money or not, but he uses the mansion as a mortgage, and if he doesn't pay it back within the time limit, I'm here to collect the mansion." What is the origin of Your Excellency, I advise you, or do not worry about this idle matter. There are some idle things that you can't manage, and some people you can't afford to mess with!"
"Oh?" Jiang Chen smiled, "Listening to your tone, it seems to be amazing." ”
"Hmph, my Zhou family's ticket number, in the entire kingdom, it is a numbered existence. Who are you, who is your father? an official or a businessman?"
Jiang Chen directly ignored the existence of this Zhou Tan, but turned his head and asked Guo Jin, "Your surname is Guo?"
Guo Jin was also surprised to see that someone was sticking in horizontally, and when he saw that this person had the intention of protecting himself, he nodded sincerely.
"Your grandfather is Guo Shun Guo Taifu?"
"Yes. When Guo Jin heard his grandfather's name, his chest was also straight, and a trace of pride flowed in his eyes. The ancestors of the Guo family were also capable people and had been wealthy.
"Okay, how much money do you owe the Zhou family ticket number?" Jiang Chen asked again.
"Originally, I borrowed 10,000 taels for my mother's treatment, and the interest was rolling, but now it is 15,000 taels with interest. Speaking of this heavy debt like a mountain, Guo Jin is also a little gloomy.
"Fifteen thousand taels. Jiang Chen nodded, and said to Shengyi beside him, "Shengyi, give them 15,000 taels of silver." ”
The four brothers of Shengziying, who followed Jiang Chen during this time, have seen all kinds of magic of Jiang Chen, and now they have established a more profound master-slave relationship with Jiang Chen.
It's no longer the original relationship of getting things done.
The fifteen thousand taels of silver tickets were counted out, and Shengyi handed them directly to Zhou Tan: "Count them! I'm going to be here in the future!"
Katsuichi was born in the military and has a compelling bearing.
Standing forward, Zhou Tan's heart tightened, his eyes stared at Jiang Chen, and he felt more and more that this young man seemed to be not small.
However, Zhou Tan has never been afraid of anyone since he was a child.
didn't take the silver ticket, but smiled weirdly: "This son seems to have said it very clearly." He didn't pay it back on time, and now I want a house, not silver. ”
"Overdue, do you have any evidence?" Jiang Chen was not angry.
As soon as Zhou Tan waved his hand, some of his subordinates took out the IOU. This IOU, sure enough, has all kinds of traps, as well as Guo Jin's drawing signature.
Jiang Chen rubbed his hand and directly crumpled the IOU into pieces: "Now, is there anything else?"
This move caught Zhou Tan completely off guard, he didn't expect that this seemingly extraordinary young man would suddenly play tricks and destroy the evidence!
It has always been him Zhou Tan who is black and black to others, but he didn't expect to be blackened by others today!
"You...... You're looking for death!" Zhou Tan's anger suddenly jumped up.
Jiang Chen didn't look back, and walked into the courtyard, his tone was light: "Shengyi, take the silver ticket with you, and throw it out together!"
The four brothers of the Shengzi Battalion, they are all high-level true qi realms, and they are all strong men who have been killed for a long time, and when dealing with these evil servants, they are naturally captured.
A few ups and downs, and then the master and servant were all thrown out of the gate.
The 15,000 taels of silver tickets were thrown away: "My little marquis is a reasonable person." If you take the money, and if you still want to make trouble, weigh it yourself. ”
Seeing that the four brothers of Shengziying were like wolves and tigers, beating the evil servants of the Zhou family to pieces, the young Guo Jin had mixed feelings in his heart.
On the one hand, he is very grateful to this group of people for sending charcoal in the snow, and the Zhou family, who have an extraordinary bearing and vicious spirit, is completely unable to stand up in front of this group of people.
On the other hand, I was worried in my heart, and I didn't know what the intentions of this group of people of unknown origin were.
Especially when he looked at Jiang Chen's back as he walked in, a trace of strange emotions rose in his heart: "It's also a young man, this is the aristocratic bearing, this is the means of the strong! I, Guo Jin, must be like him, get ahead, let these powerful bullies walk around in circles when they see me!"
Jiang Chen is a self-acquaintance, and when he entered the inner courtyard of the Jiang family, he saw the tablets of the ancestors of the Guo family in front of the hall.
Seeing this situation, Jiang Chen stepped forward, lit incense, and worshiped a few times sincerely. Inserted into the incense burner again, and seeing that there was some dust on the case of the incense burner, Jiang Chen waved his sleeves and swept it.
Such an ordinary etiquette and a few ordinary actions made Guo Jin's heart hot as hot, and his throat and eyes seemed to be blocked by emotion, which made him feel moved and wanted to cry.
