Chapter 20, Dilemma

Chen Haotian's patriarch's order quickly spread throughout the entire Chen family, and more than [-] clan members received the order.

"Block Xuantian Cave Mansion? The old patriarch is retreating, this is to prevent anyone from disturbing him!"

"It is said that a person at the peak of a martial sage needs to spend ten years of cultivation to save Miss Fourth. It seems that the Patriarch has not agreed!"

The clansmen interpreted some meanings from the Patriarch's order, and their attitude towards Jiangcheng changed from curiosity to indifference.

All the clansmen are not fools, and the patriarch has given the order. It can be seen that they do not agree with Jiangcheng's mother and son returning to the Chen family, and the clansmen will naturally follow the patriarch's attitude.

Jiang Cheng returned to the courtyard where the sarcophagus was placed, and said to Jiang Suying, "Clean up and prepare to leave. The Patriarch of the Chen family didn't agree to the treatment, so I had to think of other ways."

The three of them were all slightly startled, didn't Chen Tianmei speak well before.

Jiang Cheng had no choice but to tell what happened in the dining room of the Chen family.

Lan Yue'er said, "Patriarch Chen is too ruthless, Princess Chen is his own younger sister, how could he say such ugly things like this!"

Qing'er was also annoyed, "I'll pack up my things right away, Young Master Cheng is right, I don't want to see the faces of the Chen family."

After leaving Dujiang County, Qing'er changed her name to Jiang Cheng as the Young Master of the City, because Jiang Cheng and the King of Dujiang County severed the relationship between father and son, and she was no longer a big prince.

Jiang Cheng hired a carriage and carefully lifted the sarcophagus up.

The three of Jiang Suying also got into the carriage one after another.

Snapped!
The coachman raised his whip and whipped lightly, and the carriage moved slowly.

Leaving the residence of the Chen family's direct descendant, he walked towards the gate.

Chen Tianmei chased after her, she looked sad, "Uncle is too ruthless, it's a pity that grandpa is in retreat."

"It's okay, there are many strong people in the imperial capital, I will invite one strong man to heal my mother."

Jiang Cheng comforted her, she had tried her best.

"Cousin, you just came here and you are not familiar with the place. I'll take you to find a place to live." Chen Tianmei jumped into the carriage. It was difficult for her to persuade Jiang Cheng to leave the Chen family. Facing the indifferent attitude of the Chen family Well, it was reasonable for Jiangcheng to leave.

Jiang Cheng did not refuse, and under the leadership of Chen Tianmei, he left the Chen family.

Searching on the outskirts of the imperial capital, I finally found a quiet little courtyard exclusively for rent.

This is considering the injury of Princess Chen, it is better to live in a quiet place.

Jiang Cheng jumped out of the carriage and knocked on the door to discuss the price.

Squeak!

The door opened, and a middle-aged man with a beard came out.

Jiang Cheng explained his intention and wanted to rent this small courtyard.

This bearded middle-aged man should be the owner of this small courtyard. He squinted at the stone coffin, frowned, and said, "My small courtyard is located on the outskirts of the imperial capital. Every inch of land is expensive. Originally, it was 80 taels of silver per month, but , you bring a dead coffin, the price will be doubled, 160 taels of silver."

With a slap, Jiang Cheng raised his hand and slapped the bearded middle-aged man on the face!
Although you can't use real power, you can still learn basic martial arts.

The bearded man fell back a few steps from the slap before standing still. He covered his flushed cheeks with one hand, pointed at Jiangcheng with the other, and roared angrily, "You bumpkin, don't rent if you can't afford it. How can you beat someone? Report to the officials to arrest you and send you to prison!"

This movement alarmed the surrounding residents, who gathered around and pointed at each other.

"These people, don't rent if you can't afford it! They dare to beat people, they are from the countryside at first glance, they don't understand the laws of the imperial capital, even if they have some force, they don't do it casually!"

"It's really bad luck. I brought a sarcophagus here. I really don't know if the dead people inside are smelly or not!"

When these words reached Jiang Cheng's ears, they were like thorns piercing his heart, making it difficult to breathe.

creak!

Jiang Cheng clenched his fists tightly, with an extremely ugly expression on his face, he rushed out suddenly.

Capture all these people and throw them out, just like throwing chickens!
Bang bang bang!
Soon, it piled up into a pile of people.

These people suddenly cried out in pain.

Jiang Cheng stepped on it, and said coldly, "Try one more word, and I'll pull out your tongues! The people in the coffin are not dead, do you understand?"

"understood!"

"understand!"

These people cried and begged for mercy one after another.

Jiang Cheng kicked up, and the crowd immediately flew up and scattered all over the ground, each of them became like a shrimp in pain, screaming again and again.

"Don't run away if you have the guts, I'll call the imperial guards over!"

The bearded man pointed at Jiangcheng, his whole body trembled with anger, he roared angrily, and rode a horse towards the imperial capital.

"Let him go!" Chen Tianmei sneered, "I want to see how the Royal Guards dare to deal with me."

"Forget it, let's find another courtyard." Jiang Cheng frowned. These are ordinary people, and a lesson is enough, there is no need to make a big deal out of it.

Chen Tianmei said, "We are going to decide on this little courtyard!"

In Chen's house, she didn't say anything, and made Jiang Cheng reluctantly leave. She already felt a little embarrassed. If she couldn't even win a small house, it would make her feel even more guilty.

Jiang Cheng naturally understood her thoughts, opened his mouth, hesitated to speak, and couldn't say anything.

Tatata!
The bearded man rode in front, followed by two teams of guards in bright silver armor, each of them was a warrior, very fast!

"Get out of the way!"

"Get out of the way!"

Fierce guards with spears drove the crowd away.

The faces of the crowd changed slightly, and they gave way one after another. The imperial guards gave people a bad impression. If you provoke them, you will be stripped of their skins.
The bearded man told the Royal Guards what happened just now with embellishments, and even said that Cheng Jiangcheng would occupy his yard if he didn't pay the rent.

This made Jiang Cheng very puzzled, feeling that this is a troublemaker.

The leader of the Royal Guards waved his hand, and the two guards immediately surrounded Chen Tianmei and Jiang Cheng.

He looked at the two of them coldly and said, "You are from the countryside, don't you even understand the laws of the imperial capital? Relying on the strength of warriors, bullying the weak is a serious crime!"

This turned right and wrong into black and white, and the angry Chen Tianmei's pretty face flushed.

She showed a token and said something that made Jiang Cheng almost fall down.

"You rascals, and you guards, said that I don't understand the royal law of the imperial capital, so I'll tell you what the royal law is: this lady is the king's law!"

A faint brilliance shone on the Guangyu Token, and the word "Chen" shone with golden light.

Who in the entire imperial dynasty doesn't know about the Guangyu Ling of the Chen family?

It symbolizes the noble status of the most direct line of the Chen family!
The faces of the imperial guards instantly turned pale, and the identity of the young lady in front of him was ready to be revealed!

The leading captain was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed again and again. While begging for mercy, he slapped his mouth "papapapa!", his intestines were green with regret, regretting that he should not have said what he said just now.

The bearded man was completely stunned, and also hastily knelt down on the ground. He probably scolded Chen Tianmei more than ten times in his heart. You said that you are a young lady of the Chen family. If you come here to rent a small courtyard, you must be mentally ill.

Chen Tianmei said coldly to the leader, "Take all these people to the prison, let them reflect on themselves!"

"Yes! My subordinates obey!"

The leading captain responded loudly, as if he had received an amnesty, he led all the guards to tie up the bearded man and the surrounding tenants!

"never mind!"

Jiang Cheng hurriedly stopped him, looked at the bearded man and said, "I've bought your yard, you can tell me a price."

The bearded man who was tied up by five flowers was crying, "Master, if you want it, take it, the little one dares to ask for your money."

Jiang Cheng said sternly, "How can I do that? I'm not the kind of person who takes over other people's property. You make a price."

The bearded man was so frightened that he almost cried. The more Jiang Cheng said that, the more he felt something was wrong.

Jiang Cheng had no choice but to ponder for a moment, "The monthly rent for your yard is 80 taels, which is 960 taels a year. Let me calculate your price for 100 years, 6000 taels, and I will give you 10 taels."

After all, he took out 1000 Yuan Zhenyuan stones from the Qiankun bag, one piece was equal to 100 taels, a total of 10 taels, and handed them to the bearded man.

The houses in the imperial capital are indeed expensive, and ordinary people really cannot afford them.

The bearded man looked at Jiang Cheng suspiciously, seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, so he took it with trembling hands.

When Jiangcheng bought this small courtyard, he was considered to have settled down in the imperial capital. At least, he didn't need to look at the faces of the Chen family.
