Chapter 179: There is no cure for licking dogs
There was silence in the courtroom. Without Zhao Yan's order, the detectives did not dare to act rashly.
"Master Zhao, don't tell me you don't recognize this thing?" Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes and spoke word by word.
Zhao Yan picked up the token with trembling hands and handed it to Jiang Yuan, then spoke tremblingly.
"Sir, I didn't know you were from the Yang family. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to make such a judgment even if I had ten thousand guts."
Jiang Yuan took the token back with ease, then slowly turned around and returned to his seat.
"Excuse me everyone, there was an accident just now. Now please ask Lord Zhao to announce the verdict again!"
Bai Jingyun looked at Jiang Yuan in astonishment: "No, what did you say to him in just a short while?"
Judging from Jiang Yuan's background, he is at most a county magistrate. There is no need for Zhao Yan to be so afraid of him!
"Nothing. I told him about the principles of being an official, being fair and honest, and not letting good people feel hurt. Then he agreed to let me re-sentence." Jiang Yuan said seriously.
"A matter of principle? Do you still have principles?" Bai Jingyun looked at Jiang Yuan in confusion, thinking about what Jiang Yuan had done since he came to Taiping County.
No human being would do this, and how dare this guy talk about principles?
Jiang Yuan couldn't help but blush: "It's not important."
Almost at the same time, Zhao Yan, who was sitting above, cleared his throat and said solemnly, "I was not thoughtful enough just now. I will now announce the verdict again."
"Manager Zhao, you hired someone to blackmail Zui Jiangyue with ill intentions. You are fined three thousand taels of silver, and you also need to compensate Jiang Yuan!"
"As for Wang Xiaowu, Zhang Xiaosan and the others, you are even more despicable. You clearly brought this upon yourselves, yet you dare to turn the tables and accuse innocent people. Come, take them to jail and await your punishment!"
After Zhao Yan finished speaking, he quickly looked at Jiang Yuan.
This guy is a real dragon from across the river. He, a local snake, can't compare to him at all.
Even though the Yang family has been involved in several scandals recently and has been ridiculed by the world, if Yang Cheng really appeared in front of them, how many people would be willing to be his dog?
When he thought of this, Zhao Yan no longer felt any sense of giving in.
Jiang Yuan stood up with a faint smile, raised his hands and saluted, saying, "Your Excellency is fair and honest. I admire you. I admire you!"
"What?" Fatty Zhao looked at Zhao Yan in disbelief.
No, brother, what's wrong with you?
It’s okay to hit me, but don’t you care about the scolding?
"Does Shopkeeper Zhao have any objections?" Zhao Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at Fatty Zhao, his expression clearly showing that he was saying something.
Little brother, don’t cause trouble for me!
Fatty Zhao's face choked, and he immediately lowered his head: "No, no."
"Well, since there are no objections, let's proceed according to the rules." Zhao Yan said, and waved his hand: "Adjourn!"
"Let's go, it's time to go back to eat."
Jiang Yuan waved his hand and left with a group of people.
As soon as the group returned to Zuijiangyue, they saw Su Su walking out with her maid.
"Miss Su Su, are you here to have dinner?" Bai Jingyun ran up happily.
"Alas, what a good-for-nothing." Jiang Yuan couldn't help but shook his head. That woman would like a bootlicker. This guy might not be able to get the girl.
"Well, but it's used up." Su Su said softly.
Bai Jingyun scratched his head, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Su Su's eyes skipped over Bai Jingyun and looked at Jiang Yuan behind her: "Mr. Jiang, I have left a package in your store for what we promised last night."
After saying that, Su Su turned around and left with her maid.
"Miss Su, take care!"
Jiang Yuan couldn't help but feel a little toothache. How on earth did this woman get here?
How does she know that Zuijiangyue is opened by herself? It doesn’t make sense!
But Su Su is a princess after all, so the things she left behind can’t be bad, right?
With the idea of making a fortune, Jiang Yuan rushed into Zui Jiang Yue impatiently. A square box was placed on the counter.
"Young Master, someone just left something here, saying it was for you and Bai Jingyun and the others." Wang Kun said lazily.
Jiang Yuan picked it up immediately, rushed to the second floor with a few people, found a private room at random and started opening the blind box.
When the box is opened, the item that takes up the most space is a piece of clothing.
"What... is this?" Jiang Yuan picked it up curiously. He didn't know what material the clothes were made of. They were slightly cool to the touch and quite thin, no different from ordinary clothes.
"Sir, based on my experience, this should be a soft armor." Zhao Kai said from the side.
Jiang Yuan understood immediately. Who hasn't read a few martial arts novels? Whenever an important character was about to be stabbed, it was certain that there would be a scene like this in the end, where the character wearing soft armor survived and killed the opponent.
I just don’t know what grade the soft armor that Su Su gave me is. Considering the other party’s status, it can’t be low at all, right?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan immediately drew out Zhao Kai's long sword and slashed at the soft armor.
boom!
After a crisp sound, Jiang Yuan only felt as if a knife was cutting on cotton, and the table under the soft armor was probably not damaged at all.
As expected, there was only a shallow mark on the table under the soft armor.
"Good stuff! Good stuff!" Jiang Yuan happily put the soft armor aside and took out all the remaining items in the package.
A dagger, a letter, and a jade pendant.
Jiang Yuan was not interested in the dagger, so he threw it to Wang Gang and told him to play!
When he opened the envelope, a silver note fell out as expected.
Jiang Yuan's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to pick it up, immediately revealing a fairly satisfied expression.
One hundred thousand taels.
This is a lot. It shows sincerity that Su Su, a princess, can come up with 100,000 taels.
In addition, there is naturally a letter in the envelope.
Jiang Yuan glanced at him twice, and his expression became visibly gloomy.
"Sir, what does the letter say?" Zhao Kai asked softly.
Jiang Yuan helplessly stuffed the letter into the envelope and threw it into the box: "Damn it, I've been tricked!"
"According to the letter, Su Su will report last night's events directly to the Emperor upon her return, and will also include us as witnesses!"
"In this case, even if we want to avoid going to the imperial capital, I'm afraid it will be impossible!"
Jiang Yuan sighed deeply. As expected, none of the royal children were easy to deal with!
As the old saying goes, the imperial family is the most ruthless. Anyone who can survive in such a place of open and secret struggles has no special qualities.
Of course, a certain only prince must be excluded here.
Duanmu Yuanchen: "I really want to work hard, but I just can't find the motivation to do so!"
"The whole world will belong to me from now on, so why should I work so hard?"
Zhao Kai touched the long sword at his waist and asked in confusion: "So, how did she know our names?"
Jiang Yuan glanced directly at Bai Jingyun: "Jingyun, stick out your tongue."
"Why are you sticking out your tongue?" Bai Jingyun looked at Jiang Yuan warily.
"Just stretch it out when I told you to. Stop talking nonsense." Jiang Yuan said impatiently.
Bai Jingyun hesitated for a few seconds, but still did as Jiang Yuan asked.
Jiang Yuan took a few glances, shook his head and sighed, "As expected, the tongue coating is very thick."
"What do you mean?" Bai Jingyun looked at Jiang Yuan in confusion. What was wrong with the thickness of his tongue coating?
Jiang Yuan rolled his eyes at him and said calmly, "I can see he's a bootlicker. There's no cure for bootlickers."
