Chapter Fifty-seven
"all?"
Jiang Chen frowned.
Nowadays, most of the money in the warehouse is the income brought by Shopkeeper Pan and Gao Bing's gold membership in order to support his situation. He hasn't distributed the money yet!
Just take it all away?
What should I do if someone suddenly cancels my membership?
Jiang Chen stood up with a look of displeasure on his face, and was about to go over and take a look.
But after taking only two steps, the tall and handsome Zhu Yinian was ushered in by Mother Wang, who held her hands in front of Jiang Chen and said with a smile:
"Young Master Jiang is really talented. In just a few days, he has made tens of thousands of dollars for the Jiaofang Division before even opening the business. I really can't even think of not writing you a word of praise! Haha..."
Well--
I only obey your sisters Zhu Lian and Zhu Fengying!
Jiang Chen was secretly unhappy, but he still warmly greeted Zhu Yinian to sit down, and then asked: "Master Zhu, isn't this money put into the treasury once a month? It's not the day to put it into the treasury yet!"
"I am just following orders."
Zhu Yinian calmly took a sip of wine, and then whispered to Jiang Chen: "A few days ago, Prime Minister Cai and others suggested that the government should rebuild Longde Palace, and Yang Tiju should be responsible for supervising the project. Don't you know?"
"So this money is going to be used to repair the Dragon Head Palace?"
Jiang Chen was stunned.
He thought to himself: Could it be that Yang Jian wants to take credit for me again? Then it can’t be considered a bad thing!
With this in mind, he warmly entertained Zhu Yinian and then cooperatively sent all the people and money away.
…
But what Jiang Chen never expected was that less than half an hour after Zhu Yinian left, a large group of officials who had applied for memberships rushed into the Jiaofang Department.
"Jiang Shaojian, didn't you say that Jinbo Yuye can only be purchased at the Jiaofang Department? Why has the Liang Ling Department started selling it?"
"You villain, do you want to defraud our money to gain credit for you?"
"Hurry up and return our membership fees to us! We won't accept your membership anymore!"
"Yes! Return the money quickly, or I will smash your Jiaofangsi!"
"..."
Dozens of officials shouted angrily and surrounded Jiang Chen with unkind expressions.
What?
Liang Ling Department has started selling Jinbo Yuye?
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty clearly promised me that Jinbo Yuye could only be sold in Jiaofangsi. How could this happen?
Jiang Chen was stunned and his face turned ugly for a while.
Cai Sui, who was in the crowd, saw him and stepped forward with mocking eyes: "Young Master Jiang, why are you so stupid? Refund everyone's money quickly! Could it be that you have embezzled all the money?"
As his words fell, Wang Mian smiled happily at Jiang Chen and said, "Damn Mr. Turtle, can't you get the money? Are you dumbfounded?
Huh! Are you overestimating your capabilities and want to fight with our Wang family? Let’s see how you die this time! Hahaha..."
As he said this, Wang Mian, Wang Wen, and Wang Bin, who were following him, laughed with great joy.
"It turns out it's your Cai family and Wang family who are causing trouble!"
Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes and his face instantly darkened.
He thought to himself: Cai Jing must be plotting against me!
First, they took away my treasury money, and then asked the Liang Ling Department to sell Jinbo Yuye, instigating these to cancel the membership.
This is trying to force me to death!
But……
What does the Dog Emperor mean? Did he go back on his promise and sell me out again????
And Yang Jian, he follows the Dog Emperor every day, so it’s impossible that he doesn’t know about this matter. How come he refuses to reveal any information to me?
Could it be that he received some benefits from Cai Jing and wanted to stab me in the back like the dog emperor?
Damn it, what a bunch of bastards!
No wonder the good Song Dynasty played them until the country was destroyed. There was simply no good thing!
Jiang Chen was angry. Seeing how excited the crowd was, he couldn't help but slam the table and jumped on the chair: "What's the fuss about? Please be quiet!"
Um?
Everyone immediately frowned and shut up!
Wang Mian said angrily: "Jiang Chen, how dare you, a mere general and a young prisoner, be so rude to all of you? Are you still justified in deceiving everyone?"
"That's right, even if you smash the table today, you still have to refund the membership fee to everyone! Otherwise, we will search your home and take whatever we have, and we will never make it easy for you!"
Cai Suan laughed sinisterly with evil intentions on his face.
"Shut up you two!
Have you signed up as a member? What qualifications do you have to speak here? Fanning the flames is simply a villainous act!"
Jiang Chen glared at them fiercely, then bowed his hands to everyone and said:
"Masters, if you want to cancel your membership, you can do so! However, because Prime Minister Cai suggested that the government rebuild Longde Palace, the money from the Jiaofang Division has just been moved away from the Zuo Zangku..."
Hearing this, Cai Sui's face turned ugly, and Wang Mian even interrupted loudly:
"We don't care where the money goes. Since you are the one who signed up for our membership and you are the one who gave us the promise, then you must be responsible for returning the money to us!"
"That's right! Does Jiang Shaojian still plan to ask us to go to Zuozangku to ask for money?"
"What a joke!"
"If you want to go to Zuozangku, Jiang Shaojian, you can go by yourself. We will wait here. In short, you must return the money to us within today!"
"..."
Instigated by Wang Mian, everyone became angry again and spit Mo Xingzi directly in Jiang Chen's face.
Seeing this, Gao Bing and Wang Zhen watched from a distance.
Liu Feng and Zheng Yizhi were quite fond of Jiang Chen's boldness and were afraid that he would be beaten, so they directly squeezed into the crowd and began to persuade.
Shopkeeper Pan, on the other hand, approached Jiang Chen and said with great arrogance: "Brother Xian, let me help you with this money. It's only a few tens of thousands of dollars, it's a trivial matter!"
"It's not about money at all."
But someone wants to kill me. I have to retreat step by step. I must not compromise easily!
Jiang Chen shook his head, and after thinking about it, he said loudly:
"My lords, please be quiet! Please allow me to ask, whether you applied for membership in the first place or want to cancel your membership now, is it all because of Jinbo Yuye?"
"It's natural!"
"If it wasn't for the sake of waiting for the good wine, who would be willing to become a member of your humble family?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense when you ask this question now?"
“Refund your money quickly!”
Everyone was angry at Jiang Chen for a while, Cai Sui and Wang Mian even made a lot of teasing noises.
Jiang Chen ignored the two of them, but spoke again: "Okay! Since all of you adults are wine lovers, do you want to taste the immortal drunkenness that is more beautiful and mellow than Jinbo Yuye?"
"Is the immortal drunk?"
"Is it more beautiful and mellow than Jinbo Yuye?"
"Is there any better wine in the world than Jinbo Yuye?"
Everyone was surprised and suspicious.
When Wang Mian saw that everyone had turned off the fire, he immediately jumped out and sneered at Jiang Chen: "Young Master Jiang, please stop boasting here. How can there be wine in this world that is better than Jinbo Yuye?"
