“Your Excellency, miss Lin is here!” The servant reported to Zhou Changsheng.
Zhou Changsheng was already dressed in his official robes. When he suddenly heard the servant’s report, he was stunned for a moment. He quickly came back to his senses and said, ” quickly, invite her in!”
He had finally experienced Lin yuelan’s divine foresight.
Perhaps, it wouldn’t be so difficult for his son, Zhou Wencai, to replace the Zhou family.
After Lin yuelan was led in by the servant, Zhou Changsheng quickly came over and greeted her respectfully, ” miss Lin!”
Lin yuelan smiled and said, ” Lord Zhou, looking at you, are you going to work? ”
Zhou Changsheng smiled bitterly and said, ” this is all thanks to miss Lin!”
Both sides understood the meaning of his words.
Lin yuelan said, ” since I agreed to cooperate with you, I naturally had to plan everything well, right? ”
Zhou Changsheng cupped his fists at Lin yuelan and said, “Miss Lin is resourceful and wise. I admire you! Miss Lin, please!” Zhou Changsheng gestured for her to enter.
Lin yuelan nodded, and the two of them walked into the living room.
After the tea was served, Zhou Changsheng asked directly, ” I wonder why Miss Lin is here this time? ”
After Lin yuelan took a sip of tea, she went straight to the point and said, ” Lord Zhou, we both know who the person we’re going to interrogate in court later. Then I won’t beat around the bush and just say it. ”
Zhou Changsheng nodded and said, ” it’s all thanks to missing Lin’s divine foresight. In a while, I’ll be able to vent the grievances I suffered a few days ago. Miss Lin, if you have anything to say, just say it. ”
Lin yuelan nodded and said, ” my subordinates have calculated the accounts for the Ji brothers. They owe Ni Lai Wo Wang restaurant a total of 78000 taels. As far as I know, these two brothers brought thirty thousand taels of silver from Zhou Shan to spend. Other than some things that Lord Zhou bought, the rest is the money they spent on women. They still have more than twenty thousand left.
“However, this 20000 is not enough to compensate.
“However, I know that Ji Changjin has a jade pendant on him. I hope that Your Excellency Zhou can make Ji Changjin hand over the jade pendant to pay off this debt before the news of what happened at Zhou Shan reaches the ears of the brothers.”
Zhou Changsheng was a little confused. “Miss Lin, do you mean that you need the jade pendant on Ji Changjin? ”
“That’s right!” Lin yuelan replied in a clear voice.
That jade pendant was the Ji family’s heirloom. Ji Changjin was the Ji family’s first grandson. When he was one year old, the Ji family’s head, who was Ji Changjin’s grandfather and Ji zhongcai’s father, personally wore it on his first grandson.
This jade pendant had been kept in the Ji family for several generations, so it had more spiritual energy than ordinary jade pendants.
And she was in desperate need of these jade stones with spiritual energy.
When Zhou Changsheng heard this, he furrowed his eyebrows. He was a little confused. “what if he doesn’t want to give it to me? ”
Lin yuelan smiled faintly and said sharply, ” so, I need Lord Zhou to think of a way to make him use that jade pendant as collateral.”
Zhou Changsheng looked at Lin yuelan’s insistence and said, “Alright. I’ll try my best!”
…
Ji Changxuan laughed when he heard that Zhang Yuanbin was going to report this to the officials.
“Haha, ” Ji Changxuan laughed and said, ” then let’s go. I want to see if that Zhou Changsheng dares to do anything about it.”
Then, he looked at his elder brother and said, ” elder brother, let him go to the authorities. We’ll also go to court and feel the taste of being the defendant. What do you think? ”
However, when Zhang Yuanbin said that he wanted them to compensate seventy-eight thousand taels, Ji Changjin suddenly felt uneasy, especially when Zhang Yuanbin said that he was going to report it to the officials. His heart tightened, and for some reason, he had a very bad feeling.
But he couldn’t tell where this uneasiness and ominous feeling came from.
If it was really because of the compensation, he felt that it was very impossible.
Ji Changjin’s face darkened, and he said sternly, ” shopkeeper Zhang, this is such a small matter, and you actually want to report it to the officials? Are you looking down on our Ji family and the magistrate? ”
Zhang Yuanbin said seriously, ” I wouldn’t dare, young master Ji. In fact, we don’t have to report this matter to the authorities, as long as you pay for all the damages.
“And I just said that we’re a small business here, and we can’t afford such deliberate damage.
“If you intentionally destroy our stuff, then how can our restaurant continue to do business?
“As such, it is only natural for our restaurant to ask for compensation for the damage done to these items. If you insist on not compensating, then we can only report it to the court to resolve it, right?
“So, I wonder what Young Master Ji meant by looking down on the Ji family and the magistrate?”
Zhang yuanbin’s words were clear and logical. Even if Ji Changjin wanted to refute, he didn’t know where to start.
“young masters Ji, are you going to pay or not? ” Zhang Yuanbin asked politely and coldly.
Ji Changxuan said loudly without thinking, ” No. I’d like to see what a small restaurant like yours can do to me.” He looked at Zhang Yuanbin and his men with a mocking look.
Zhang Yuanbin coldly stared at Ji Changjin.
Ji Changjin’s ears were burning from being stared at, but he had the same opinion as his younger brother and said, ” it’s fine if it’s three to five thousand taels, but it’s impossible to ask for seventy to eighty thousand taels.”
Zhang Yuanbin then said coldly, ” since that’s the case, I’ll see you in court.”
…
While Zhou Changsheng and Lin Yuelan were talking, the drum in front of the court was hit.
When Lin yuelan heard the drum, she smiled at Zhou Changsheng and said, ” Lord Zhou, I’ll leave this to you! After this is done, I’ll give you a basket of fruits and a basket of cherries!”
When Zhou Changsheng heard this, he roared in his heart. This was a bribe.
However, these two fruits were his favorite, so for the sake of his favorite food, he had to do this well, even if it meant risking his life.
