Chapter 161: Caught in the act, miserable
Sun Shouxin's face was full of suspicion. "This...you are not scammers, right? Why don't the Qian family come?"
Jiang Wenzhou took out a plaque and waved it in front of Sun Shouxin. "This is the token of the Governor of Jiangnan. The Qian family is not convenient to come forward, so I will handle it."
Sun Shouxin turned the token over and over, stroking the lines on it. He asked half-doubtfully, "Is this really the Governor-General of Jiangnan's token?"
Jiang Wenzhou was extremely helpless. This poor scholar had never seen the world.
He took out the token of Pingxi Marquis' Mansion and explained for a long time before Sun Shouxin believed their identities.
Afterwards, Jiang Wenzhou took out a property deed and said, "This is the deed for the Siheyuan. The location is very good and it could be worth a lot of money."
Sun Shouxin didn't answer, but instead asked, "Is your cousin's lifelong happiness only worth a courtyard house?"
Jiang Wenzhou frowned. Too little? That's too greedy.
He shouted coldly, "Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. The Nine Thousand Years Old Man can protect you temporarily, but not forever. You are just a poor scholar with no power or influence."
Sun Shouxin hesitated for a while, then suddenly made a request, "I want to be an official, at least a seventh-rank official."
Jiang Wenzhou snorted coldly, "That's impossible. The court is not run by the Qian family."
Sun Shouxin's face fell, and he stuffed the token into his hand. "Then there's no room for negotiation."
After saying this, he turned around and left, decisively and efficiently.
Jiang Wenzhou made a promise in front of his uncle and aunt, but when he saw that the mission was about to fail, he couldn't help but get anxious.
No, we have to calm him down first.
"How about this, I'll arrange for you to be a county magistrate in Jiangnan first, and then promote you to county magistrate in a few years."
In the Jiangnan area, the Governor-General of Jiangnan is the local emperor, so it is still possible for him to arrange a few officials.
However, this person's identity is sensitive, and he will have to be silenced once the storm has passed.
Sun Shouxin looked him over and suddenly asked, "What rank are you now?"
Jiang Wenzhou's face changed slightly. He also wanted his uncle to help him get a job, go out and earn some merit before returning to Beijing.
However, his uncle refused, saying that he was already on the emperor's blacklist and that he could only wait until the emperor calmed down.
"I... am a son of a noble family, and I disdain to be an official."
Sun Shouxin looked unconvinced, "Then how can I believe that you can fulfill your promise?"
Jiang Wenzhou raised his right hand without hesitation, "I swear to heaven..."
Before he could finish, Sun Shouxin interrupted, "I don't believe in oaths."
Jiang Wenzhou hesitated for a moment, "How about this, I'll write you a letter of guarantee. If you can't do it, you can make it public."
Sun Shouxin was waiting for this sentence and agreed readily, "Okay."
At Sun Shouxin's request, Jiang Wenzhou not only wrote a letter of guarantee, wrote his own name on it, signed it, but also stamped it with two tokens.
Sun Shouxin took the letter of guarantee, checked it carefully twice, then slowly put it away and put it in his arms.
His slow and leisurely manner made Jiang Wenzhou very anxious. "Alright, bring me the marriage certificate and token of love."
Sun Shouxin raised his right hand and said, "I have a question. How will you explain it to the public?"
To avoid any further complications, Jiang Wenzhou just wanted to get things done as quickly as possible. "You don't have to worry about that."
"Take the deed and go to Jiangnan overnight. Someone will pick you up. The sooner the better."
Ye Yizhen's wound on the side ached slightly, and she couldn't hold on for much longer. She urged impatiently, "Hurry up and take out the marriage certificate."
Sun Shouxin touched this and that, then looked embarrassed and said, "Oh, no, the marriage certificate is gone."
"Boom boom!" Jiang Wenzhou exploded in anger. He rushed over and grabbed Sun Shouxin's neck. "How dare you play tricks on me? Go to hell."
Sun Shouxin struggled wildly and accidentally hit Jiang Wenzhou's nose, and blood flowed down.
This completely infuriated Jiang Wenzhou, and he pinched her even harder, yelling, "Zhenzhen, come over and help me."
Ye Yizhen was also very angry. She stepped forward to help hold Sun Shouxin's hands and kicked him twice.
Seeing that Sun Shouxin's face was red from being strangled, he couldn't breathe, and was about to die, an angry shout suddenly rang out.
"Jiang Wenzhou, Ye Yizhen, what are you doing? Ahhhh, you are killing people!"
The familiar voice made them both tremble. It was Yun Zheng! She was accompanied by a group of guards and the shopkeeper.
Everyone looked at him in horror, as if they were looking at a murderous demon.
Being caught red-handed at the scene of the crime, Jiang Wenzhou felt a chill on his back and involuntarily let go of his hand.
Sun Shouxin was freed and ran towards Yun Zheng while covering his neck and coughing violently.
Jiang Wenzhou wanted to stop them, but Yun Zheng's guards took action and blocked them outside.
Ye Yizhen was angry and anxious, "Yun Zheng, why are you here?"
Yun Zheng ignored him and looked at Sun Shouxin with a gentle smile, "Don't be afraid, I am Princess Jinyun. No one dares to kill anyone under my nose."
Sun Shouxin immediately shouted, "Princess Jinyun, I want to report them. They coerced and bribed me, and even sold me official positions. They promised me official positions, but I would rather die than obey them, and they are now murdering me."
Jiang Wenzhou's head was buzzing. "No, no, he was blackmailing me. I was just trying to scare him."
Sun Shouxin took out the letter of guarantee from his pocket and said, "I have evidence."
Jiang Wenzhou's face changed drastically and he rushed over to grab the letter of guarantee.
The guard flew over, snatched it away and handed it to Yun Zheng.
Yun Zheng opened it and took a look, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Yes, now she has the evidence, killing two birds with one stone. The Qian family can't get away with it.
"Jiang Wenzhou, you have violated the law, and the evidence is conclusive."
"Ye Yizhen, you are an accomplice. There is both witness and evidence."
She shouted, "Come here, send these two to the Mingjing Division and they will be severely punished."
Ye Yizhen already had a shadow over Mingjingsi, and when she heard this, she was so scared that she broke out in a sweat.
"This is none of my business. I didn't do anything. I just came here to have tea with my husband."
Unfortunately, Sun Shouxin stood up to testify against her, "She was also one of the participants, and used her identity as the daughter of Princess Yong'an to force me to bow my head."
Ye Yizhen was angry and anxious, "You are lying."
"Yun Zheng, he wronged me. I am innocent."
Yun Zheng sneered lightly, "A truly innocent person wouldn't appear here."
"Take them all away."
Ye Yizhen didn't want to go to jail, so she held onto the pillar and refused to let go. "No, no, no, I won't go."
An idea suddenly struck her, "I... spend money to avoid disaster!"
Little did she know that Yun Zheng was waiting for her to say this, but she pretended to think about it, hesitated for a while, and finally compromised.
"Okay, old rules, two hundred thousand taels of silver, no bargaining."
Ye Yizhen closed her eyes. This black-hearted bastard, did he think her family’s money came from the wind?
But the situation was stronger than the person, because she was caught with the evidence.
"Okay, two hundred thousand taels of silver. I'll write a letter right away and ask my mother to come and redeem me."
Yun Zheng had someone bring over the four treasures of the study and said with a smile, "A man of understanding is a hero. You are becoming more and more sensible."
She looked at Jiang Wenzhou, her eyes full of money.
"Mr. Jiang, what about you?"
"I..." Jiang Wenzhou's face turned pale. His family really had no money.
But, he didn't want to go back to Mingjingsi Prison even if he was beaten to death. That was not a place for human beings!
what to do?
Ye Yizhen's eyes flashed. She couldn't be the only one suffering!
