647 Hand over the Jade Pendant

Ji Changjin’s expression was faintly angry as he said, ” Lord Zhou, we brothers don’t have anything on us that can be used as collateral. But don’t worry, Your Excellency. Since this young master has said that I will pay the remaining money, I will!”

Zhou Changsheng didn’t respond to Ji Changjin. Instead, he asked Zhang yuanbin, ” Zhang Yuanbin, do you agree to Ji Changjin’s request? ”

Zhang Yuanbin shook his head and said, ” my Lord, if we had done this from the beginning, we would have agreed. However, these two people had been loudly complaining from the start that they were not willing to compensate, so this commoner had no choice but to report it to the officials and let the Lord decide.

“Besides, even if they pay back the twenty thousand taels now, they still owe fifty-eight thousand taels. If they use their status and power to oppress us and refuse to pay back the money, then small restaurants like ours can only suffer in silence. So, Sir, I agree to use a valuable item on their bodies as collateral. When they return the money, they will return it to its owner!”

!!

This was to tell Zhou Changsheng that he no longer believed Ji Changjin’s words.

Before Zhang Yuanbin came, he had already received orders from Lin yuelan to cooperate with Zhou Changsheng.

Lin Yuelan’s told him not to be lenient to the Ji brothers, so Zhang Yuanbin would not let them off so easily.

Zhang Yuanbin’s words were very clear, and anyone who was not a fool could understand.

Zhou Changsheng nodded, then turned to Ji Changjin and said, ” Ji Changjin, the plaintiff, Zhang Yuanbin, does not agree with your actions. So, you must take out your own valuable items as collateral. How about it?”

Of course, Ji Changjin was unwilling. He said, ” Sir, aren’t you making things too difficult for me? This young master said that he would return the debt, so why do such unnecessary things?”

Zhou Changsheng said, “Young master Ji, you also said that you are the young masters of the prefects. You have great power and influence. What if you return to Zhou Shan and regret it? Wouldn’t that be disadvantageous to Ni Lai Wo Wang restaurant? ”

Ji Changjin’s face turned green with anger. He glared at Zhou Changsheng and said, ” Sir, you’re talking nonsense!”

Zhou Changsheng didn’t reply and just looked at them coldly.

Ji Changjin looked at Zhou Changsheng’s unyielding expression. He could only grit his teeth and say, ” how about this? Between the two of us, one of us will continue to stay in An Ding County, and the other will return to Zhou shan to get the money. Is that okay? ”

“No!” After Ji Changjin finished speaking, Zhou Changsheng immediately rejected his idea. He said, ” if one of you returns to Zhou Shan and uses your power to pressure me, I will have no choice but to do something against my will.” Zhou Changsheng’s meaning was clear.

Looking at Zhou Changsheng, Ji Changjin was really angry.

He gritted his teeth and said, ” we brothers don’t have anything on us that we can use as collateral. Then, Sir, what do you think we should do? ”

He pushed the question back to Zhou Changsheng.

Zhou Changsheng said solemnly, ” then I’m sorry to the two of you. According to the law, those who owe money and don’t return it will be judged according to the amount of money and the severity of the matter. Even if the two of you have paid back the twenty thousand taels, you still owe fifty thousand taels. If you don’t pay it back on time, according to the law, you will be sentenced to ten years in prison until you pay off your debt!”

When he heard that the two of them were going to be sentenced to prison, Ji Changxuan jumped up in anger. He pointed at Zhou Changsheng’s nose and shouted, ” Zhou Changsheng, how dare you?! I’m going to ask my father to remove you from your position as an official!”

Zhou Changsheng ignored Ji Changxuan’s threat and immediately ordered, “Someone, write down the charges and let Ji Changjin and Ji Changxuan sign!

“Yes, my Lord!” The people below immediately did as they were told.

“hold on!” Ji Changjin immediately stopped them.

Then, he took out a piece of Jade from his neck and said to Zhou Changsheng ruthlessly, ” Sir, this is my family heirloom. How about I use this Jade as collateral? ”

Zhou Changsheng looked at Ji Changjin taking out a jade pendant and was shocked.

Because he had never thought that, as Lin yuelan said, Ji Changjin really had a family heirloom jade pendant.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He didn’t know where Lin yuelan had found out about this.

…

Zhou Changsheng brought Zhang Yuanbin to the back of the hall with the Jade. He saw Lin Yuelan drinking tea and basking in the sun. His mouth twitched. ‘She’s really in the mood!’

As he thought about it, he stood in front of Lin yuelan.

Zhang Yuanbin was a little surprised to see Lin yuelan in the Zhou mansion. He thought that Lord Zhou had called him over for something, but it turned out that it was because the boss was there.

Zhang Yuanbin greeted her respectfully, ” boss!”

Lin yuelan nodded and asked, ” have you settled everything? ”

“Yes!” Zhang Yuanbin replied.

Zhou Changsheng, who was standing beside her, handed the jade pendant to Lin Yuelan and asked, ” Miss Lin, is this the jade pendant you’re talking about? ”

Hearing Zhou Changsheng’s words, Zhang Yuanbin was a little surprised.

How could he not know that Lin yuelan was so interested in this jade pendant?

Lin yuelan planned for the Ji brothers to stay in Ni Lai Wo Wang restaurant. That was why she didn’t ask them to stop the Ji brothers from destroying things.

It turned out that from the beginning to the end, it was all because of a jade pendant.

However, the Ji brothers had a deep background. Even if Lin yuelan wanted the jade pendant, she might not be able to handle it.

Zhang Yuanbin only knew one part of it.

The second reason was that Lin yuelan’s scheme against the Ji brothers was just a side effect. The person she was really scheming against was Ji Zhongcai, the prefect of Zhou Shan mountain.

The news of Ji Zhongcai’s fall hadn’t reached the Ji brothers ‘ears yet, so she had to make them hand over all their money before those people came. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be long before they were all confiscated, and it would be difficult to get the jade pendant again.

Lin yuelan took the jade pendant.

This jade pendant was dark green in color. Although it was a family heirloom, it did not have much luster. Therefore, to the Ji family, this jade pendant was completely worthless. Therefore, the Ji family did not fight for this jade pendant that symbolized the family’s significance. Thus, no one was envious or jealous of this jade pendant hanging on Ji Changjin’s body.

However, only Lin yuelan knew that this lusterless jade pendant was a piece of nourishing jade pendant full of spiritual Qi. It could protect one’s health and prevent them from being corroded by any evil Qi.

Lin yuelan nodded and said, ” that’s right. This is the jade pendant!”

Zhou Changsheng looked at the round green jade pendant and wanted to ask Lin yuelan what she wanted this jade pendant for. Why did she need to spend so much effort to get it? But after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he suppressed the curiosity and doubts in his heart.

Zhou Changsheng asked, “Miss Lin, what should we do with these two people? ”

Lin yuelan said with a smile, ” get someone to keep an eye on them. Once the people from Zhou Shan arrive, we’ll hand them over!”

When Zhou Changsheng heard this, he thought for a while and nodded. “okay!”

Zhang Yuanbin didn’t know what the two were talking about and just stood there.

Lin yuelan said to Zhang Yuanbin, ” clean up the restaurant in the next two days. We have an important guest!

Zhang Yuanbin suppressed his doubts and answered seriously, ” yes, boss!”
