Chapter 28: Man does not promise to beast "Lock him up first and let him go hungry for a few meals." The assassin's accomplice was thrown into the utility room. Sun Chonglou asked in confusion, "Master, why do you have to go hungry for a few meals?" In his opinion, we should strike while the iron is hot. "Have you ever eaten fish from a pond?" Jiang Qingzhi asked. Sun Chonglou shook his head, "I didn't eat much fish." "The fish mud in the pond has a strong fishy smell. Put it in the water tank and let it starve for a few meals. Let it vomit out all the mud in its stomach before putting it in the pot. It will taste more delicious." Jiang Qingzhi walked out of the room. Behind him, the captive looked pale. On the second day, Jiang Qingzhi took Sun Chonglou and Dou Jialan out.
According to Fucheng, the Jiang family has now settled down in the capital, and the first thing they need to do is to build a career. Although there are fields rewarded by Emperor Jiajing, what is the foundation of the wealthy family? Fields are the foundation and business is the blood. "Don't listen to those scholars who always say that businessmen are lowly people. They are never behind others in business." Fu Cheng explained to Sun Chonglou that it is not shameful to do business. "Stone." Jiang Qingzhi has already gone out. "coming." Sun Chonglou ran and shouted, "Master, doesn't that mean that all of them are... bitches?" "That's right, if one person is cheap, the whole family will be cheap!" Sun Chonglou rushed out of the house and asked Jiang Qingzhi: "Master, are the scholars really bitches?" "Mostly!" said Jiang Qingzhi. But at this moment, the status of merchants is no longer as low as it was in the early Ming Dynasty. In a few decades, the cabinet elders will be backed by a group of literati and wealthy businessmen. With such a court structure, whose interests do you think they represent? So, when the emperor wanted to collect commercial taxes, those ministers, those officials, and those literati all clamored. ——The greatest drawback of the current Ming Dynasty is that Your Majesty loves wealth. But look at Yan Song and his son, look at the famous minister Xu Jie, look at those senior ministers...their granaries and treasuries were all empty. It was just this group of people, with stern faces as gentlemen, reciting the famous sayings of the sages and roaring at the emperor on the throne. ——Your Majesty, you are competing with the people for profit! On one hand, the ministers were making a lot of money doing business, while on the other hand, the treasury was empty, and even a mouse would cry when seeing it. It would be unjust if such a Ming Dynasty didn't perish! Five hundred years! Jiang Qingzhi feels that he has a long way to go. Turning out of the alley, we arrived at a long street.
"Jiang Qingzhi!" When Jiang Qingzhi heard the voice, he turned around and saw a man in his twenties, surrounded by more than a dozen big men, coming towards him aggressively. "You are..." Jiang Qingzhi frowned, feeling that the visitor had bad intentions. The man came forward, pointed at Jiang Qingzhi and cursed, "But you instigated the queen to cause my little sister to be punished by her family?" "My queen, little sister?" Jiang Qingzhi was completely confused. "Do it!" The man had an arrogant look on his face, and it seemed that he was used to speaking with his fists. More than ten big men rushed over. The man grinned and said, "Don't hit me in the face, or my aunt will find out." He suddenly stiffened. A long knife was suddenly placed on his neck. "Hey..." The man's body went limp. "Stop, we can talk it over. Jiang Qingzhi...Mr. Jiang, we can talk it over." More than a dozen big men quickly stopped. Sun Chonglou grabbed the man's collar with one hand and held a long knife with the other, and asked, "Master, do you want to kill him?" Why does this scene look familiar? Jiang Qingzhi thought about it, and it seemed like the scene in Hero where the ministers asked the King of Qin whether to kill the assassin. He took out a fine wooden box, opened it, and took out a cigarette. He closed the box, puffed on the cigarette a few times, and held it in his mouth. Dou Jialan consciously lit it for him. Jiang Qingzhi took a puff of the medicinal smoke and felt a cool sensation in his lungs. "You're making it very difficult for me to commit murder in the street!" Mr. Jiang was just looking to establish his authority when the man appeared at the right time. "Shitou, break his legs!" "Won't you kill?" Sun Chonglou originally did not have such a strong murderous nature, but after killing the first Japanese pirate, it seemed as if all his meridians were opened up and he became quite enthusiastic about killing. The man's legs went weak. If Sun Chonglou hadn't grabbed his collar, he would have collapsed to the ground by now. Water marks quickly appeared on his trouser legs, and the water dripped down his legs. "Peeed!" Jiang Qingzhi was a little disappointed. "Is this the dignitary in the capital?" The only ones who dare to cause trouble to him are the powerful. The man trembled and said, "Mr. Jiang, Grandpa Jiang... My wife said you are good. We are a family, we are a family! Don't do it!"
Sun Chonglou pressed his hand down, and the sharp blade of the long knife pressed against his skin, causing the man to scream. "Lu Jingfei?" Jiang Qingzhi asked. "Yes, yes...we are family, I am your brother-in-law!" The brother of that arrogant woman Lu Shan'er? Jiang Qingzhi was very upset. What the hell is this? "Master, how should we deal with him?" Sun Chonglou asked somewhat frustratedly, as it seemed that he couldn't be ruthless. The man smiled like a brother-in-law, "It's all a misunderstanding..." "Do I know you well? Hit me!" Jiang Qingzhi turned around and raised his hand holding the cigarette, "Don't hit me in the face." "Ow!" Amid the screams, Jiang Qingzhi walked slowly with his hands behind his back, followed by the beautiful bodyguard Dou Jialan, who had a medicinal cigarette in her mouth, looking like a real dandy. At this moment, the city of Beijing is crowded with merchants and there are countless shops. Jiang Qingzhi asked several shops that were selling the items, and the prices were all quite high. He took a fancy to one that was open front and back. After it was connected, it was like two stores. "There has to be a first come first served rule for transactions, right?" A businessman in his forties said with a smile, glancing at Jiang Qingzhi, "Young man, let your parents come." The arrogance of the old business elder did not anger Jiang Qingzhi. He glanced at the shop and said, "Shopkeeper." The owner was a man in his twenties who looked quite cunning. "They are all ancestral property." The shop owner sighed, "If there is no misfortune in the family, who would sell ancestral property?" The senior businessman said with a half-smile, "Three hundred strings of cash, this price is not low." The current prices are not expensive, and three hundred strings of cash can buy a house in the city. The shop owner glanced at Jiang Qingzhi and said, "This price..." The old business veteran looked at Jiang Qingzhi with a raised corner of his mouth, "Young man, do you want to fight with me?" He waved his hand, and the follower behind him came over and placed a heavy bundle on the counter. "I have no shortage of money." The old man said calmly, "I just won't spend a penny on things that shouldn't be spent. I don't mind spending a ton on things that should be spent." Jiang Qingzhi felt a little regretful... He really thought this shop was good. But three hundred strings of cash was still beyond his psychological bottom line. Furthermore, Emperor Jiajing gave away land and houses as rewards, but not much money. The total amount of money in the family was only two hundred strings of cash. According to Fucheng, when the crops in the fields are harvested, it will be an income. However, the Jiang family has many servants and the monthly expenses are quite high.
Therefore, making money becomes a pressing matter. Jiang Qingzhi said: "That's it." do not! The shop owner quickly said, "This shop is the only one selling it nearby. If you miss it, it will be gone." Jiang Qingzhi felt that renting a shop was like borrowing a chicken to lay eggs, "one hundred and eighty strings of cash." "Haha!" The shop owner laughed. "I'll come again tomorrow." Jiang Qingzhi had long seen through the old man's tricks. After he tricked him away, he dared to bet that the old man could cut the offer of three hundred strings of cash in half. When he got home, Fu Cheng reported: "What song did the Japanese pirates keep singing?" The Japanese pirate sang a song of homesickness, which made the servants guarding him look angry. "Son." Jiang Qingzhi is here. The Japanese pirate sang with tears on his face. When he saw Jiang Qing, he said, "Kill me!" "It seems that you are not hungry enough." Sun Chonglou said. Jiang Qingzhi said: "Bring a hammer and smash his toes one by one." "No!" The Japanese pirate screamed, "Spare my life and I will tell you everything." "Are you willing to tell me anything?" Jiang Qingzhi sneered. "I swear, if I tell a lie, I will go to hell after I die." Jiang Qingzhi leaned against the wall, "Assassin and your identity." "At first, Qingmu Yishan was a bandit. After he robbed the young lady, the young lady... took a fancy to him." What the hell! Does this work too? Fu Cheng couldn't believe it, "Where is this courtesy, righteousness, and integrity?" "The Matsuki family has three thousand samurai..." "He must be a farmer!" Jiang Qingzhi said. The Japanese pirate's expression changed drastically, "You..." "Just a farmer who grows crops on weekdays." Jiang Qingzhi smiled. The Japanese pirates said: "That is also a powerful existence. How many peasants like him can there be in the Ming Dynasty?" "Go on." Jiang Qingzhi didn't want to argue with this country bumpkin.
"The head of the family was not satisfied with Qing Mu Yi Shan, so the young lady asked Qing Mu Yi Shan to earn fame. She asked the five of us to follow him, one to see if he was making progress, and two to report his movements at any time... The two of us also served as Qing Mu Yi Shan's bodyguards." The Japanese pirate suddenly laughed, "The lady said that if Qing Mu Yi Shan died, the two of us should commit suicide to apologize. Before that, the two of us had already passed the message. I think the three people are already on their way back." "Once the lady finds out that it was you, Jiang Qingzhi, who killed Qingmu Yishan, she will fight you to the death." A Japanese woman with white stuff all over her face, looking at him fiercely, holding a Japanese sword in her hand... Jiang Qingzhi suddenly shuddered. "Are you feeling unwell, young master?" Sun Chonglou asked. "No, I just remembered some...funny movies." "Movie?" Jiang Qingzhi sighed with some nostalgia. He walked out of the utility room, and the Japanese pirate behind him said, "You said you would spare my life." "Sir, why don't we throw this man onto the farm and let him do hard labor for the rest of his life?" Fu Cheng suggested. Jiang Qingzhi shook his head. "killed!" "Sir, be faithful to your promise!" Fu Cheng was heartbroken, "A man's promise is worth a thousand gold." The pirate struggled, "If you break your oath, aren't you afraid of being punished by the gods?" Jiang Qingzhi frowned, "I said, kill him!" Sun Chonglou strode in. "Jiang Qingzhi, you broke your oath and you will not die well..." Jiang Qingzhi said: "I can keep my promise to everyone in the world, even to Lu Bing and Cui Yuan. I would rather keep my promise to the Annan people, but I don't need to keep my promise to the Japanese." He turned around and looked at the Japanese pirates in the utility room. Sun Chonglou put one hand on the pirate's neck and looked up at the young master. "Why?" the Japanese pirates asked unwillingly. "Because in my eyes, the Japanese are not human!" Jiang Qingzhi waved his hand, "It's wrong for humans to keep promises to animals!" Sun Chonglou pressed the pirate's head with both hands and twisted it. …… Asking for votes. (End of this chapter)
