At this moment, Chen Ting was only a member of Heaven Consort Academy's inner court. Moreover, it just so happened that it was his turn to be on duty. He was patrolling the academy district with the enforcement team when he happened to run into the dispute between Yang Qingxuan and the three families.
With Chen Ting's status and identity, he naturally didn't care about the three families. "Confused? You're confused, but I'm not. What I need to do is follow the rules and do my part. Scram right now. This matter will be settled by the academy and the Imperial Guard. "
The Zhou, Hu, and Xue families were as silent as cicadas in winter. They all sensed that something was amiss. Meanwhile, more and more people had gathered, all of them looking at them with mocking gazes.
The bearded elder walked up to Chen Ting and whispered, "Little brother, let's forget about today's matter. Our three families will present you with generous gifts, please forgive us. "
Chen Ting sneered. "You want to bribe me? It seems this matter doesn't just involve the military and the academy, but also the Ministry of Personnel. We'll have to ask Lord Lan Hua to investigate. "
The blood drained from the three's faces. They felt that things were getting more and more serious, completely out of their expectations.
Hu Ding hurried over. "Student, our lord is only here for a visit. He's not targeting Yang Qingxuan. He was just trying to scare him."
"Yes, yes, he was just trying to scare him."
The three families' patriarchs chimed in. The weather was cool, but the dozen or so people were sweating profusely. It was very uncomfortable.
Chen Ting glanced at Yang Qingxuan. "Is that so?"
Yang Qingxuan sneered. "How is that possible? There are dozens of people here who heard it. They want to kill me."
The bearded elder hurriedly said, "They were just trying to scare you. We wouldn't dare do it for real."
Yang Qingxuan sneered. "Scare? Do you think it'll only be real when you actually do it? " He cupped his fists at Chen Ting. "Student, these people are extremely vile. Please inform the military and have them deal with this matter."
Chen Ting said, "Since the person involved has said so, then let's do it. This Young Master's time is precious. I don't have time to waste with you. Also, I've memorized all of your official positions. If you dare to run, I can guarantee that there will be no place for you in the entire Cangnan Empire! "
The faces of the three Patriarchs changed drastically as they saw the law enforcement team's students surrounding them, wanting to take them down.
These law enforcers were all inner court students. Not only were they powerful, but they also had a bright future ahead of them. They also had many powerful backgrounds. They were not people that the Hu, Zhou, and Xue Clans could afford to offend.
The head of the Zhou family had an idea. He hurriedly turned around and bowed to Yang Qingxuan. "Little brother, it's our fault. We shouldn't have threatened you. Please forgive us."
Although the other two families were extremely unwilling, especially the Xue family, they had no choice but to bow their heads and apologize to Yang Qingxuan.
Yang Qingxuan waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I can't be bothered to bicker with you. It's just that I'm a coward and was scared out of my wits by you. You should at least give me some compensation. "
Chen Ting and the others heard this and couldn't help but laugh in their hearts. This person had a calm and composed appearance from beginning to end. He didn't look scared at all. They all knew that he was taking the opportunity to blackmail them.
The faces of the three Patriarchs turned pale. Their own children were beaten and now they had to pay compensation. But when they thought of the unimaginable consequences if this matter was reported to the Military Department, they could only swallow their anger. The head of the Zhou family said, "Today we were wrong. We should give little brother some compensation. Zhou Cang, take out a thousand silver coins and give it to this little brother. "
Zhou Cang was even more furious. But before he could say anything, Yang Qingxuan laughed. His face darkened as he said coldly, "You're sending a beggar away!"
The head of the Zhou family looked at him coldly and thought, "Your grandfather is a garbage man. Naturally, you're also a beggar." But he still said, "What, not enough? Then add another thousand silver coins. "
Yang Qingxuan sneered and waved his hand, "Student Chen Ting, please take them to the Military Department."
The faces of the three Patriarchs changed. The bearded old man hurriedly said, "Then how much do you want?"
Yang Qingxuan took out a piece of bloody white cloth from his bag. It was the IOU signed by Xue Hao and the others. He waved it in front of everyone and said, "Let's not talk about compensation. Just the amount you owe me is nine hundred and eighty thousand silver coins. Students, please take a look and testify. "
"Ah? Nine hundred and eighty thousand?! "
Hu Ding and the others widened their eyes and shouted angrily, "Isn't it nine thousand eight hundred?!"
At this moment, the three of them looked over and carefully read it. It was indeed nine hundred and eighty thousand silver coins. At that time, they were in a hurry to sign and were scared half to death. How could they read it carefully?
"Nine thousand eight hundred?"
Yang Qingxuan sneered and said, "So you really think I'm a beggar. Nine thousand eight hundred isn't even enough for this young master's meal. The three of you signed it yourselves. It's written in black and white. If you deny it, this item will also be submitted to the Military Department and the Ministry of Appointments. "
The faces of the three Patriarchs were ashen. Their angry gazes fell on Xue Hao, Hu Ding, and Zhou Cang. The three of them were so scared that their faces turned pale. Zhou Cang said with a trembling voice, "It's really, really not that much. In fact, it's only a little more than a thousand silver coins. He, he extorted us …"
Yang Qingxuan's face darkened and said coldly, "Extortion? We're all classmates, but your words are so unpleasant. I don't want this money. Let the Military Department and the Ministry of Appointments handle it. "
Chen Ting was amused. He also guessed that there must be some hidden meaning in the IOU. After all, nine hundred and eighty thousand silver coins was not a small sum. It was quite a lot for the Zhou, Hu, and Xue Clans.
And this Yang Qingxuan had grasped the weakness of the three Patriarchs. They didn't dare to report this matter to the Military Department. It seemed that the three Patriarchs were in for a bad time today.
Apart from the imperial family, there were also the Zuo, Lan, Chen, and Wang Clans. Chen Ting was a direct descendant of the Chen Clan. He didn't care about existences like the Zhou, Hu, and Xue Clans at all.
On the other hand, Yang Qingxuan had piqued his interest. He was happy to watch the show and see how Yang Qingxuan would extort the three Patriarchs.
As expected, when Yang Qingxuan mentioned the Military Department, the three Patriarchs immediately deflated. The head of the Zhou Clan waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. Nine hundred and eighty thousand silver coins. Here, here!" Everyone could hear the unwillingness and anger in his voice.
The three Patriarchs immediately gathered together and swiped their crystal cards. They pooled together a nine hundred and eighty thousand silver coins crystal card and handed it to Yang Qingxuan.
Yang Qingxuan casually put it away. Although money was just a worldly possession, it was impossible to live without money. He still had the ten thousand gold coins crystal card from Prince Jin, Su Ze. At this moment, he was already a rich man in the academy.
He said, "The matter of the IOU is settled. Now, let's talk about the compensation for scaring me."
