"Do you know that even the Chi Hengji in your mouth would not dare to be bold in front of me? Moreover, are you sure that Chi Hengji knows someone like you?"
After eating a few more bites of the food, Jiang Yunsheng felt that it was almost done. He, the clown, had been jumping around for too long, so he put down his chopsticks, leaned back on the chair, and said casually.
Yang Junnan, who had never been suspected before, looked obviously flustered for a moment after hearing Jiang Yunsheng's words.
Then, Jiang Yunsheng continued:
"Besides, I have never met you, so how can I admire you so much?
You actually dare to use me as a raft, have you eaten the courage of an ambitious leopard?"
With that said, Jiang Yunsheng slowly sat up straight, and his temperament changed from gentle and harmless before to extremely domineering.
After seeing Jiang Yunsheng take the initiative to reveal his identity, the businessman who recognized him quickly knelt on the ground and shouted:
"The common people have seen the emperor!"
Those businessmen who heard Jiang Nuan's voice, including Zhu Zhizhuan, also knelt on the ground and said:
"The common people have seen the emperor!"
Yang Junnan was stunned on the spot, unable to figure out what was happening now.
The businessmen also looked dubious.
"No, it's impossible, you must have lied to me!"
Yang Junnan shouted as if to convince himself.
Although he said this, the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.
Jiang Yunsheng ignored him, and someone would tell him the answer soon.
I saw bursts of noise coming from the surroundings, and there were faint sparks looming around County Magistrate's Residence.
Soon, several boys crawled up to Yang Junnan.
"No, it's not good, sir, we County Magistrate's Residence are surrounded by officers and soldiers outside!"
Hearing what the boy said, Yang Junnan quickly looked at Jiang Yunsheng.
Seeing Jiang Yunsheng acting like he had everything under control, he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.
Soon, a man in armor and several groups of soldiers came to Jiang Yunsheng, knelt down on one knee and said:
"The general's rescue came too late, please ask the emperor to punish you!"
His words of "Emperor" completely shattered the last trace of fantasy in Yang Junnan's heart.
I know this man Yang Junnan. He is the general of the military camp stationed nearby. There is no possibility for him to lie.
After seeing this scene, the businessmen were frightened and quickly knelt on the ground.
At this time, they glared at the first few merchants. Damn it, the leader of the new caravan that the county magistrate wanted to deal with was actually the emperor. They didn't even give them a break. They wanted to watch them die!
People in County Magistrate's Residence fell to their knees, and the air pressure was frighteningly low.
The only place where it was easier was probably Jiang Nuan and Cen Xue. They thought County Magistrate's Residence's food was pretty good, so they ate a little more.
"Nuan Nuan, please eat more. After all, this is a dish worth five thousand taels of silver."
Jiang Yunsheng looked at Jiang Nuan and the others, smiled and said.
Hearing these words in Yang Junnan's ears made him want to die. Wasn't this talking about the five thousand taels of silver admission fee?
Yang Junnan really wanted to give himself a big slap at this moment. If he had known that Jiang Yunsheng was the emperor, let alone the entrance fee of five thousand taels, I would not have dared to give him ten thousand taels of silver!
No, there is not only the entrance fee, but also the one thousand taels of silver when entering the city, and the one hundred thousand taels of silver that I just asked for.
Thinking of these, Yang Junnan wished he could faint on the spot. He knew that his life would most likely not be saved now!
Jiang Nuan nodded and started eating along with the excitement. It felt pretty good.
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot that Magistrate Yang asked me to hand over 50,000 taels of silver just now. No, the price increased later, it was 100,000 taels of silver, right? How dare I disobey Magistrate Yang?
Wang Dehai, take one hundred thousand taels of silver and hand it to Magistrate Yang."
Eunuch Wang took the order, took out a hundred thousand taels of silver notes from his pocket, and placed them in front of Yang Junnan.
Yang Junnan looked at the banknote in front of him, he felt like crying but didn't dare to reach out to pick it up.
"Why doesn't Magistrate Yang accept it? If he doesn't accept it, can I still get out of Qingshui County's city gate? Magistrate, you should accept it."
Jiang Yunsheng's words sounded like the kind of people who were afraid of being embarrassed by Yang Junnan, but his expression meant otherwise.
As Jiang Yunsheng spoke more and more, the despair in Yang Junnan's heart also grew.
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot that you guys are here to join forces to ban me, right? I'm so scared. How about I give you some money to stop you from banning me?"
After admiring Yang Junnan's trembling appearance, Jiang Yunsheng turned his attention to those businessmen again.
Those who heard Jiang Yunsheng's identity quickly moved aside, fearing that the flames of war would affect them.
"No, I don't dare, please spare our lives!"
Those people quickly begged for mercy.
Jiang Yunsheng saw the people moving aside and said to them:
"You guys step aside."
After hearing Jiang Yunsheng's words, they quickly got up and walked aside, feeling secretly relieved.
Those who were kneeling regretted it very much. They had known that when Yang Junnan said they would unite to block Jiang Yunsheng, he would have stood with them.
"Take the banknote! Why are you still standing there? Is it too little? Do you want me to give you more?"
Seeing that Yang Junnan still didn't accept the stack of banknotes, Jiang Yunsheng said again.
Yang Junnan showed a bitter look on his face and accepted the one hundred thousand taels of silver notes as a last resort.
"You want me to let you go, right? I'll give you a chance."
Jiang Yunsheng said suddenly.
Yang Junnan had hope in his heart, but then his hope was dashed because he heard Jiang Yunsheng say:
"Didn't you say that you are my Chancellor's cousin? As long as he comes to me to plead for you, then I will let you go."
He said he was Chi Hengji's cousin. This was made up! Where could he find him? With his status, he probably wouldn't even be able to get through!
Yang Junnan At this moment, I just feel very desperate.
"The same goes for you. As long as Yang Junnan finds Chi Hengji and intercedes with you, I can let you go."
Jiang Yunsheng said to those businessmen.
The eyes of those businessmen suddenly lit up. They did not know the true situation of Yang Junnan. They only thought that he was Chi Hengji's cousin. It seemed that it was not impossible to intercede for them.
So everyone pointed to Yang Junnan with their eyes, and the smile on Yang Junnan's lips became even bitterer.
"Magistrate Yang, everyone is doing what you say. Are you unwilling to help with something as small as asking for mercy?"
Seeing him like this, I was a little impatient and couldn't bear it.
"I, I lied to you about the fact that I am Chancellor Chi's cousin!"
Yang Junnan, who was riding a tiger but couldn't get off, had no choice but to tell the truth that he was lying.
