In the Jin Ling government office and the governor's mansion, there were several people carrying a horizontal board wrapped in red silk. It was unknown what was written on it.
Grand Mistress didn't want to talk to him. She looked at him, pointed her slender finger at him, and then pointed at the Jin Ling government office's horizontal board, meaning that he should go and uncover this one.
This girl also knows sign language. Lin Wanrong smiled. You think you are the only one who knows sign language? I am an expert. He copied her and pointed at the Grand Mistress, and then pointed at the governor's mansion's horizontal board, meaning that she should go and uncover that one.
Seeing him imitating her, Xiao Yuruo couldn't help but blush. She was ashamed and angry. She fiercely stamped her foot: "This idiot, so annoying."
"Miss Tao, I will uncover your horizontal board. What do you think?" Lin Wanrong said with a smile.
Tao Wanying gently nodded her head and said: "This is a gift for you. Of course, you should be the one to uncover it."
Amidst the laughter, Lin Wanrong and Grand Mistress pulled open the red silk at the same time. The two horizontal boards had eight gilded characters that appeared in front of everyone's eyes: Loyalty, honesty, wisdom, and courage.
Hey, who is praising me like this? How can I accept this? Lin Wanrong laughed. Tao Wanying said to Xiao Yuruo: "Xiao Yuruo jiejie, yesterday, I have already reported to Hou Daren about the Xiao Family's efforts to resist the thieves. Hou Daren was very happy and reported to Governor Daren. The two daren are very appreciative of the Xiao Family's great efforts to maintain peace in Jin Ling city. So, they jointly bestowed this horizontal board to show their appreciation to the Xiao Family. "
Loyalty and honesty? Hehe, these four words were thought up by this girl. She was still thinking about that matter. Bestowing the inscribed board was complete nonsense. I reckon that Lo found out about what happened last night and wanted to find a way to correct the Xiao Family's name. It's hard for this old man to be so thoughtful. At least my advice to him was not in vain. Lin Wanrong nodded to Wan Ying and said with a smile, "Miss Tao is very kind. I thank you on behalf of my Grand Mistress."
The advisor from the Luo Residence continued, "Just as Miss Tao said, Lord Luo deeply appreciates the courage of the Xiao Family to take responsibility for their actions and resist the thieves. Not only that, on the day of the Old Madame's birthday banquet, the Xiao Family defeated the King of Couplets in the seven northern provinces and brought glory to the scholars of Jiangnan. Today, I specially inscribed this board to express my gratitude. "
Luoyuan cupped his hands and said with a grin, "That's right. Grand Mistress, Elder Brother Lin, congratulations to the two of you! "
Grand Mistress returned the courtesy and said, "Thank you Master Luo, thank you Miss Wan Ying. Xiao Yuruo is very grateful for the two daren's love for my Xiao Family. "A servant had already given them a red envelope. Grand Mistress personally rewarded the servants who delivered the inscribed board.
Lin Wanrong saw that Luoyuan, that kid, was grinning mischievously and thought to himself, 'Your father's move is not bad. He blocked that Cheng Ruinian's mouth and made him suffer in silence. ' But your sister is going to find a husband, why didn't you inform me, causing me to make such a big fool of myself yesterday? '
The Jin Ling prefectural magistrate and the governor of Jiangsu had already come to a conclusion about yesterday's matter, that it was a heroic act of self-defense against the thieves. Cheng Ruinian was even more embarrassed, deeply feeling that coming here today was a big mistake. Unfortunately, with everyone's eyes on him, he didn't know what to say and could only stand there with a gloomy expression without saying a word.
Luoyuan pretended to just see Cheng Ruinian and said in surprise, "Hey, isn't this Brother Ruinian? Why are you here? Are you also here to congratulate me? "
Lin Wanrong chuckled and said, "Young Master Cheng is here to rebel — —"
"To pay a visit, to pay a visit." Cheng Ruinian's forehead was full of cold sweat as he hastily snatched the topic from Lin Wanrong.
"Oh, to pay a visit? Since when did Brother Ruinian have a friendship with the Xiao Family? This is the first time I've heard of it. "Luoyuan said with a smile.
"Originally there wasn't. But since I came here today, I have a friendship. Don't you think so, Young Master Cheng? "Lin Wanrong asked with a mysterious smile.
Under such circumstances, how could Cheng Ruinian say anything and immediately nodded. Lin Wanrong said with a smile, "Young Master Cheng and I are old friends, we had a drink together at Myo Yuk Square. He came today for no big reason, just that he is short of money and wants to get some money to spend, isn't that right, Young Master Cheng? "
"Yes, yes." Cheng Ruinian nodded and said, "I am short of money recently, so I wanted to borrow some money from Brother Lin. Now that I have the money, I will not stay any longer, so I will take my leave. "
Lin Wanrong laughed heartily and said, "Brother Cheng, there is no need to be so polite. We are friends who drink together, there is no need to be so polite. Besides, I am only acting as a guarantor for your fifty thousand taels of silver. You borrowed it from the Grand Mistress, so you should thank the Grand Mistress. "
Fifty thousand taels of silver? Everyone present secretly sucked in a breath of cold air. This was a huge amount, why did this Young Master Cheng come to borrow so much money? Besides, would that Lady Xiao be willing to lend it to him? Smart people could already see that there was a reason behind this.
Hearing Lin Wanrong extorting fifty thousand taels of silver, Cheng Ruinian was shocked and said angrily, "You're lying —"
"What am I lying about?" Lin Wanrong said darkly, "Could it be that Young Master Cheng is not here to visit?" He deliberately blurred out the words' visit 'and' rebellion '. Others might not have felt anything when they heard it, but Cheng Ruinian was alarmed at every step. This brat wants my life. The so-called witness is still here, and everyone saw with their own eyes how aggressively he came to arrest Cheng Ruinian. There is also his arch-enemy, Luoyuan. If this matter was exposed, it would really be a big mistake.
Cheng Ruinian's eyes seemed to be spitting fire. He lowered his voice and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Lin San, are you blackmailing me?"
"Blackmail?" Lin Wanrong smiled strangely, "Where did this come from? I don't dare to force Young Master Cheng. You came here today specifically to 'rebel', hehe. "
Cheng Ruinian wanted nothing more than to pounce on this villain and bite him to death. With great willpower, he suppressed the anger in his heart and gritted his teeth, "Fine, if that's the case, this Cheng thanks Grand Mistress. I will definitely return the fifty thousand taels of silver in time."
In his rage, he did not wait for anyone to speak and hurriedly left with his subordinates. Lin Wanrong laughed loudly, "Slow down, slow down. Young Master Cheng, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Cheng Ruinian turned around and glared at him fiercely, "What else is there?"
Lin Wanrong pretended to be kind and said, "Young Master Cheng, it's not that I want to criticize you, but you should be more honest. You took the Grand Mistress's fifty thousand taels of silver. At the very least, you should write an IOU. Grand Mistress is a kind and upright person. She lent us fifty thousand taels of silver without hesitation, but we have to be self-conscious, don't we? "
Cheng Ruinian's lungs were about to explode. You want me to write an IOU for fifty thousand taels of silver? Is there still any justice in this world? Unfortunately, Lin San had something on him. Since today's matter had already reached this stage, he could only accept this loss and wait for another day to get back at him. With this thought in mind, he did not say a word. He immediately took out a brush and ink, scribbled an IOU for fifty thousand taels of silver, signed his name, turned around and left.
Lin Wanrong held the IOU in his hand and looked at it from left to right. In his heart, he cried out in delight. You're not f * cking evil? I'm even more evil than you are. Grand Mistress walked closer to him and said softly, "You, you blackmailed the Imperial Commander's son. Aren't you afraid of his revenge?"
Lin Wanrong was startled and said, "Grand Mistress, why are you talking to me again?"
You're an idiot who doesn't know what's good for you. Xiao Yuruo was angry and embarrassed. She turned around and was about to leave. Lin San smiled and pulled on her sleeve, saying, "Don't be angry. I was just joking with you. I like people like you, don't you?"
Grand Mistress said, "I was talking to you out of goodwill, but you just like to play tricks on me. It'll be strange if I believe you in the future."
Lin Wanrong sighed and said, "This Cheng De has his eyes on us. Today's visit from Cheng Ruinian is probably just the beginning."
Hearing him talk about serious matters, Grand Mistress did not quarrel with him anymore. She frowned and said, "Then why do you still want to provoke Cheng Ruinian like this?"
Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly and said, "My Grand Mistress, why don't you understand? Even if I don't provoke Cheng Ruinian, will Cheng De let us off? Our Xiao Family is already a thorn in their flesh, a thorn in their eyes. They must get rid of us as soon as possible. "
Grand Mistress sighed softly and said, "Our Xiao Family is also fated with misfortune. I don't know how we managed to provoke these powerful people."
"The tallest tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Our perfume and soap business is doing very well. They are envious of us. Since they can't rope us in, they can only destroy us. " Lin Wanrong calmly said, "In any case, we are already like fire and water. Instead of being messed with by him, it's better for us to mess with him first."
With Xu Wei's troops in hand, Lomin would soon make a move on Cheng De. Lin Wanrong did not have anything to be afraid of. He smiled and shook the promissory note in his hand. With this promissory note, in a few days, I will let Side bring people to your door to collect the debt. If you don't give it to me, I will go to the government office and beat the drum. That fox, Lomin, will probably like to see this scene the most. She will make a fuss in Jin Ling city, let's see what you, an old dog, can do.
Grand Mistress ordered people to hang the two boards. Everyone in the Xiao Family was naturally happy, especially the servants who followed San Ge last night. Not only did they fight to their heart's content, but they also received a board from the governor and the prefectural magistrate. This was simply a great honor. Being a prostitute, but still able to erect a board, San Ge was really a model of the present age.
Tao Wanying looked at Lin Wanrong and walked in front of him. She timidly said, "Lin San, I have something to ask you."
"Miss Tao, you are too — — polite. Helping people is the basis of happiness. If you have something to say, just say it. "
Lin Wanrong played a prank on Cheng Ruinian. His heart was very happy. Tao Wanying, this girl, was also much more pleasing to the eye.
"If I say it, don't be angry." Tao Wanying carefully looked at him and said in a low voice.
"Miss Wanying, why are you so polite? You weren't like this before." Lin Wanrong coquettishly smiled.
Hearing him mention the past, Tao Wanying's face was a bit embarrassed. She bit her lips and said, "Then tell me, did you do something to my brother?"
