Chapter 40: Promise

Du Sanye walked out of the village entrance, looking at the ox cart not far away, his face gloomy. A subordinate saw that there was no one around and stepped forward and said: "Third Master, if it really doesn't work, just use force."

Du Sanye scolded: "Use force my ass! If I could use force, wouldn't I have used it long ago? Do I still need to spend these thoughts? The above ordered, unless it is a last resort, don't cause a lawsuit. You want to use force, how to use it?"

The subordinate smiled and said: "Third Master, you make arrangements in advance, won't the lawsuit be settled naturally?"

"Saying you are stupid, you are really not smart! Originally no one paid attention, you make arrangements up and down, isn't it more eye-catching?" Du Sanye sank his face and muttered to himself: "I don't know where this Langya Wang clan came from!"

A subordinate asked in surprise: "Is he really Langya Wang?"

"I don't know if he is real or fake, but Nieyang Liu and Xinye Yu should both be real."

The subordinates heard this and secretly clicked their tongues. A matter that was originally not difficult to handle actually involved the two great gentry families of Jingzhou! This is kicking the iron plate!

Du Sanye thought: Since this matter is mixed with these people, it cannot be done hard, and I have to find a way to bypass them...

On the other side, Wang Yang appeased Tong Luozhu before letting them leave. Yu Yuling asked in confusion: "Brother Wang is fierce to Du San, why is he so tolerant to this petty official?"

Wang Yang said: "Du San is a wolf. As long as you show weakness, you may not be able to suppress him. This Tong Luozhu is timid and dare not cause trouble. This time he came here under the instruction of others. There is no need to ridicule him again. Besides, he is responsible for the security here. The so-called 'County Magistrate is not as good as the current manager.' If I blame him too much, he will have resentment in his heart, and maybe he will vent his anger on the strong man's family in the future."

"Taught. The County Magistrate is not as good as the current manager, this sentence is interesting."

"Young Master is so powerful! The bad guys are afraid of you!" Little Ah Wu ran towards Wang Yang.

Wang Yang bent down and scraped Little Ah Wu's little nose: "You are also very powerful, you endured for so long before crying."

"Didn't cry, didn't cry, Ah Wu didn't cry!" Little Ah Wu felt very ashamed when she thought of the scene where she cried loudly, and hurriedly denied it.

"Oh, then I remembered wrong, Ah Wu is really brave!"

Yu Yuling looked at this scene and felt a little emotional: Brother Wang is really easy-going. Even the daughter of a servant is so close. Dealing with Tong Luozhu and Du Sanye also seems to have a method. This friend is well made!

Wang Yang led the strong man and Ah Wu to thank Yu Yuling. Yu Yuling saw the strong man's appearance of wanting to speak but stopping, knowing that he and Wang Yang had something to say, so he returned to the cart to wait for Wang Yang.

After Yu Yuling left, the strong man and Wang Yang talked about his return to the camp tomorrow. Wang Yang asked: "You returned to the camp. What about Ah Wu?"

"Ah Wu is fine, she could be at home by herself a year ago. Grandma Zhao is the best, I have entrusted her and several neighbors, and they will help if there is anything."

He said and took out a small blue bag from the bottom of the box: "Young Master, this is the three thousand coins you borrowed from the Commandery School earlier, return it to you."

Wang Yang was a little surprised: "Three thousand? Didn't you go to redeem the knife?"

"The little one is worried—"

"Didn't I say that there is no need to call yourself a little one when there are no outsiders?"

The strong man was a little embarrassed, but still obeyed and changed his words: "I am worried that the Young Master has other arrangements, so I didn't go to redeem the knife."

"First take five hundred coins to redeem the knife; and didn't you borrow five hundred from Ding Jiu, you return him... one thousand five."

"Ah? This, this is too much." The strong man felt a little distressed. Even if he wanted to give more, one or two hundred coins would be enough.

"Not much, you tell him, this is what I returned, the extra is interest."

Borrowing money for no more than two days, the interest is two hundred percent, which can be considered a big profit for Ding Jiu.

Since traveling through time, the strong man and Ding Jiu were the first batch of people who came into contact with Wang Yang, knowing a lot about him, and after returning to the camp, they might mention the details of him in Baying Village to Xue Duizhu and Clerk Wang.

Wang Yang didn't know if Xue Duizhu really intended to let him go, but if there was any mistake on Ding Jiu's side, it might become a bomb at some point.

Taking more money, firstly, is to let Ding Jiu not have resentment in his heart. Because Ding Jiu borrowed money for high returns, if the expectations were not met, he would definitely be unhappy.

Secondly, it is to show his identity and ability, used to deter Ding Jiu, don't have crooked thoughts.

Thirdly, it is to let Ding Jiu taste the sweetness, so that he will cherish the "friendship" with Wang Yang more, and this kind of cherishing might produce unexpected effects at some point in the future.

After Wang Yang finished distributing the money to Ding Jiu, he said: "As for the remaining one thousand coins, let's have five hundred each."

The strong man hurriedly refused: "I, I don't want it! The Young Master has already paid back such a large debt for us, how can I take the Young Master's money again?"

Seeing the strong man firmly refuse, Wang Yang left half of the money and said: "Okay, the cart is still waiting for me, I'll go first."

"Young Master, Young Master! You are really the most credible person in the world!" Little Ah Wu suddenly jumped out and blocked the door.

Wang Yang was slightly startled: "Where does this start?"

"You said last time you would bring candy to Ah Wu, and then you really let Dad bring candy back! It's too rare to see someone who keeps their word like the Young Master! You are a credible Young Master, a Young Master who keeps his word! I just said, people who look good keep their word!"

Wang Yang saw Little Ah Wu's eyes wide open, looking at him with full expectation, and guessed her thoughts, patted Ah Wu's head and asked:

"Does Ah Wu want to go to Jingzhou City?"

Ah Wu's big eyes instantly became bright:

"Can I, can I?! I heard that there is a big market in the city every day, which is dozens of times more lively than our village market every year!"

"I did say I would take you to the city next time, but it really won't work today." Wang Yang said apologetically.

He just borrowed a large sum of money from Liu Zhao and left the city after putting aside the manuscript. If he didn't work hard to write the manuscript after returning to the city, he would be a little sorry for Liu Zhao. Although Liu Zhao wouldn't say anything, people are mutual, and you can't rely on others to be easy to talk to and act recklessly.

Ah Wu's big eyes instantly dimmed, and the strong man hurriedly said: "Ah Wu, be good, the Young Master is very busy, Dad will take you. Stand over, don't block the Young Master from going out."

Ah Wu said "um," although she knew that Dad would return to the military camp tomorrow and couldn't take her to the city in the short term, she still turned sideways to give way, lowered her head, and stared at the tip of her straw sandals.

Wang Yang's heart softened, and he patted Ah Wu's head: "It really won't work today, how about this, I will pick you up at noon tomorrow, and we will have a good time in the big market in Jingzhou City in the afternoon?"

Little Ah Wu jumped three feet high.

Inside the Commandery School, Liu Zhao stood in front of the study, his expression anxious.

Why hasn't he come back yet?

It shouldn't be!

What's wrong with Zijie? Didn't I tell him to bring Zhiyan back quickly?

The servant hurried over: "Master!"

Liu Zhao was overjoyed: "Back?"

"No, it's a letter from Mr. Zong, saying that he moved to a new house today and invited you to gather at his mansion." The servant handed over the invitation.

Liu Zhao was greatly disappointed, took the invitation, and saw only one big word "Please" on it, and couldn't help but laugh.

The style of writing such an invitation, the whole Jingzhou might not be able to find a second person.

It's a pity that learning is important and he couldn't go, so he said: "Just say I have something to do today and won't go. Send my set of spotted bamboo brushes and stacked stone inkstone as a gift."

Another servant hurried over, Liu Zhao said happily: "Back?"

"Reply from Xishazhou."

Liu Zhao had a clan brother named Liu Qiu, who believed in Buddhism and lived in seclusion on Xishazhou outside Jiangling City, often having correspondence with the Prince of Jingling, Xiao Ziliang, who also believed in Buddhism. The Prince of Jingling was known as the virtuous prince, and was also the prince most valued by the Emperor besides the Crown Prince, appointed as the high position of Minister of Works to assist in government affairs.

Some time ago, because of the matter of cutting the Commandery School, Liu Zhao had entrusted Liu Qiu to ask for help from the Prince of Jingling, and now he finally saw the reply, and hurriedly read it.
