Chapter 6 Huge Debt
Although I don't know how to pay? What kind of compensation should be taken, Jiang Yi still gritted his teeth and asked: "How to pay?"
The manager smiled faintly, and said lightly: "I bought this famous painting from Juzhen Pavilion, and it cost ten taels of Zijin. I don't want more from you, just pay for the original price! Otherwise, hehe... Even if you are killed, we have something to reason with." .”
"Twelve taels of purple gold?"
Jiang Yi narrowed his eyes, he only had one tael of silver per month in the Jiang family, and this tael of Zijin was worth a hundred taels of silver, even if he was sold, it would not be worth ten taels of Zijin, this group of people seemed to have made up their minds Jiang Xiaonu is going to stay.
"Fighted with them?"
Jiang Yi shook his head, there are so many people on the opposite side, he has no black energy, if he insists, both of them will have to stay.
The steward said it well, even if two people were killed today, it would be no big deal, the Jiang family would definitely not pursue it. This steward is very shrewd, and his eyes are very poisonous. From his clothes and the maid's work here, he should have guessed that his status in Jiang's family is very low, so it is determined that he will not dare to make a big fuss.
After pondering for a while, he could only bite the bullet and said: "It's okay to lose money, but can you allow some time? Within a month, I will give you ten taels of purple gold with both hands. If you can't get it out, I will send you a hand."
"A month?"
The manager narrowed his dark and prey eyes, and quickly shook his head and said: "Empty talk is nothing, what if you run away? Either leave something as a mortgage, or leave this girl behind."
Jiang Yi has a headache, does he have something valuable? Leave Jiang Xiaonu behind? I'm afraid I don't know what it's like to be ruined by them this month. He rolled his eyes, reached out and took out a token in his arms and threw it over: "This mortgage! I will redeem it in a month."
This is the token given to him by Guanshi Rong, and he can freely enter and leave the Xishan medicine field. The Jiang family has very strict rules. Make this bad move.
"Oh? It really is from the Jiang family!"
The steward took the token with an unexpected look on his face, but he didn't agree immediately, instead he lowered his head and pondered.
Time passed bit by bit, Jiang Yi's whole body was tense, cold sweat started to break out from his back, Jiang Xiaonu's beautiful big eyes were also full of anxiety and nervousness, whether the two of them can get out of Fengyue Tower safely today, just here It's just a matter of thought.
"All right!"
Finally, the steward looked up at Jiang Yi, nodded and said: "I will give you Jiang family some face, and the Jiang family's children will keep their word. Of course... if you don't lose money after a month, I will take this Tokens are going to your Jiang family torture hall to ask for money, so you can go."
"Walk!"
Jiang Yi felt relieved, he gritted his teeth and Xiao Nu helped each other, and slowly walked out of the backyard of Fengyue Building, towards Jiang's courtyard.
Although he didn't have any emotional fluctuations on his face, his heart was full of bitterness—this steward had hit his deadly spot. If he couldn't pay for the money in a month, the Jiang Family's Criminal Hall would definitely interrupt him when Fengyue Tower came to his door. His and Jiang Xiaonu's legs...
...
Fengyuelou was not far from Jiang's house, but Jiang Yi and Jiang Xiaonu walked for half an hour before returning to Jiang's west courtyard.
Both of them were injured. Fortunately, the strong man who beat Jiang Xiaonu didn't use his energy. Jiang Xiaonu only suffered some skin injuries, not any bones or muscles. Otherwise, Jiang Yi wouldn't know how to go back. .
It was already dusk when we returned to Jiangjia West Courtyard. The west courtyard is very lively at the moment, the generals and servants of the Jiang family lived here, and they went home after dark. Along the way, the two met many family servants, but no one paid attention to them, at most they only looked at them, and some even smiled mockingly...
Having been treated coldly for so many years, the two of them were no strangers to it. When they walked into their small courtyard, Jiang Yi's legs softened immediately before entering the house, and he knelt on the ground with his left shoulder in pain, panting heavily.
He was slapped by the three-level guard of the tripod casting state. Although he blocked it with the "stove throwing hand", it is estimated that the bones were cracked, and the force was used later. Plus the wound was touched after walking for such a long distance. The pain caused cold sweat to break out on his forehead.
"Master, Master, are you okay!"
Jiang Xiaonu panicked, and hurriedly knelt down, her dirty little face was full of distress and guilt, as she spoke, tears rolled down her face again.
Jiang Yi waved his hand, forced a smile on the corner of his mouth, reached out and patted Xiao Nu's head and said, "Xiao Nu, don't cry, I'm fine, your young master...you don't fall down so easily."
"Well, well, the young master is the best!"
Jiang Xiaonu nodded his head pecking at the rice, but still cried and said: "But...Young Master, where can we earn ten taels of purple gold a month? Oh, it's all about Xiao Nu's fault, and I'm hurting Master..."
"What are you talking about whether you are involved or not?"
Jiang Yi's complexion darkened, his eyes widened, and he reprimanded: "Xiao Nu, don't say such nonsense in the future! You are the only relative in this world's young master, and nothing is as important as you, you know?"
"Well, the young master is the best!" Xiao Nu was so moved that he was confused, and tears fell like rain.
"Okay, trust the young master, I will find a solution, let's go in first."
Jiang Yi struggled to stand up, and walked into the room with Jiang Xiaonu's support. Entering Jiang Yi's room, Jiang Xiaonu helped him sit down on the bed, wiped away his tears and lit a candle, hurriedly fetched ointment to apply on him to heal his wounds.
Jiang Yi smiled wryly and shook his head, "I took it wrong, you stupid girl, I suffered an internal injury, go and get the healing elixir bestowed by the family, put this ointment down, and apply it on the wound later."
Jiang Xiaonu scratched his head, his face was full of embarrassment, he quickly turned around and limped out.
On the way back, Jiang Yi checked that Xiao Nu's injuries were not too serious, so he didn't care about her at the moment, looking at the flickering candles, he felt worried...
From yesterday to now, too many things happened, which turned his head into a mess. He shook his head, planning to take care of it after healed later.
Jiang Xiaonu quickly came in with a small white porcelain bottle and a bowl of clear water, put it beside the bed and asked, "Master, are you taking the pill now? Or should we eat something first? Oh...you didn't eat at noon, Master." Right? How about I order two bowls of noodles first?"
"No!"
Jiang Yi shook his head and vetoed: "Isn't there still jerky at home? Just eat some, and I'll heal."
"good!"
Jiang Xiaonu hurriedly went out to get the jerky. She used to go out to work a lot. She was afraid that Jiang Yi would be hungry, so she prepared some jerky, which was just in time for her.
Soon Jiang Xiaonu fetched the dried meat, and the two of them started to chew dryly in front of the clear water. Only then did Jiang Yi have time to ask: "Xiao Nu, what's going on today? I always feel that this is not normal, is it Fengyue?" Lou deliberately designed to trap you?"
Jiang Xiaonu was taken aback, blinked, and said in a daze, "Hit me? What can I do? I have no money..."
"Stupid girl!"
Jiang Yi sighed helplessly, without explaining, he asked directly: "Please tell me what happened in detail."
"oh oh."
Jiang Xiaonu hurriedly started to talk about today's events in detail, and then continued to ask in a daze: "Master, is there a problem?"
Jiang Yi didn't speak, but his eyes were about to burst into flames. Based on what Jiang Xiaonu said and what he saw, he was 100% sure that today's incident was caused by the manager of Fengyuelou.
Jiang Xiaonu and Chunya would go to work in Fengyue Building every five days, helping to clean the clothes and bed sheets that the girls in the building changed. Originally, they were always working in the backyard, and they were never allowed to go to the front yard and inner hall. Xiao Nu is honest by nature and will not run around without authorization.
Usually the laundry was brought into the inner hall by the people from Fengyuelou, but today the people from Fengyuelou did not show up. An old woman "voluntarily" asked Jiang Xiaonu to bring the clothes into the inner hall with her.
Jiang Xiaonu was worried that Jiang Yi would be alone at home, so he didn't think too much about finishing it and going home early, followed the old woman into the inner hall with a large bucket of clothes, but was "accidentally" tripped by a guard just after entering After a while, he "coincidentally" bumped into a table by the wall, and on the table was "just in time" a pair of "famous paintings" purchased with a lot of money.
Then the steward appeared, slapped Jiang Xiaonu hard, and asked the guards to take Xiaonu to the backyard, and asked her to either lose money or sign a contract of sale...
Xiaonu is stupid, even if he is sold, he still has to give money. Jiang Yi has been smart since he was a child, so he naturally understood it after thinking about it. He let out a long breath, his face became ferocious, he gritted his teeth and roared: "Okay, you Fengyuelou, how dare you entrap Xiaonu like this? Sooner or later, the young master will smash all of your Fengyuelou to pieces." Messy..."
"Master, don't be impulsive, I heard that the forces behind Fengyuelou are very powerful, you are not their opponent!"
Seeing Jiang Yi's expression, Jiang Xiaonu panicked. Then he quickly came to his senses, his big eyes widened and he asked in surprise, "Oh, no, why are you so powerful, young master? You were so powerful just now, you injured all those villains..."
"Well...don't worry about these things, trust me! Xiaonu, maybe...in a short while, I can let you live a good life, and you don't have to go out to work anymore."
Thinking of the mysterious black energy, Jiang Yi's mind was agitated again, and quickly gnawed on the remaining jerky, ready to heal his wounds immediately after eating, and study the black energy carefully. He had a feeling that maybe this mysterious black energy could make his life... turn upside down.
"Oh! The young master is amazing, please come on, young master." The pure-hearted Jiang Xiaonu stopped asking any more questions, and the little chicken pecked at the rice and nodded, and his big eyes narrowed into crescent moons, all with admiration.
After the two of them gnawed the jerky, Jiang Yi checked Xiaonu's injuries again, and after making sure that no bones were injured, he asked her to go back to her room to find Chun Ya to apply the ointment on her, and said a few words, don't do anything today. We let people of family know.
Jiang Xiaonu had never listened to Jiang Yi's words since he was a child, and after asking a few words of concern, he limped out, his thin back under the candlelight was so pitiful...Jiang Yi's heart ached again.
After Xiao Nu left, Jiang Yi sat on the bed in a daze, sorting out his messy mind.
Yesterday he was injured by Jiang Ruhu and others, and he passed out all morning. After going home and sleeping, a nameless formula appeared in his mind, and then he cultivated a trace of magical black energy according to the nameless formula. Yuanli, he beat up Jiang Bao in the morning, and went to Fengyue Tower to rescue Xiaonu, but he owed a huge debt of ten taels of Zijin...
"Twelve taels of purple gold?"
Thinking of this, the corners of Jiang Yi's mouth twitched, where did he get so much money in a month? And he beat Jiang Bao in the morning. I'm afraid his boss Jiang Ruhu will come to the door soon, right?
Although Jiang Ruhu's talent is mediocre, but he has a good old man who is the head of the Jiang family. He never lacks in cultivation pills, and his strength has reached the fourth level of the cauldron casting state. Even if he uses black energy, it may be difficult to defeat him.
"Black Yuanli, it's up to you!"
Jiang Yi pursed his lips, his eyes flickered with hope. This black elemental power is so magical, if he studies it carefully and discovers new magical abilities, maybe he can get out of this predicament...
