The wife is crazy!

After Jiang Tang said this, everyone was speechless for a moment.

Why does it seem like you, Jiang Tang, are the host...

"How dare you, a small merchant, be on equal footing with the prefect?!"

Jiang Tang lazily rested his arm on the armrest, supporting his delicate chin with the back of his hand, and looked at the clown that jumped out with disdain.

"Lord Zhou is as close to the people as his own sons. Are you questioning whether he says one thing to your face and another behind your back?"

"You you you! You are talking nonsense!"

The woman shrank back timidly, obviously no match for Jiang Tang in terms of words.

"Officials and citizens are one family. Now Qingzhou City is in ruins due to the epidemic. How can you just sit back and watch?"

Prefect Zhou's eyes met Jiang Tang's. A smart man naturally didn't need to say anything. Just one glance and he understood.

The people below looked at each other, and no one was willing to take money out of their own pockets.

For a moment, they all huddled there like quails, not saying a word.

"clatter!"

Jiang Tang put his legs down, swung the hem of his clothes with both hands, and with a "pop" sound, everyone's attention was drawn to him.

"How can one's awareness be so low?"

Jiang Tang rolled his eyes and pouted at everyone.

The owner of Duobao Jade Building spoke coldly.

"It's easy to talk without any pain in the back. Boss Jiang, why don't you set an example for everyone!"

'Snapped--'

Ling Yu slapped the banknotes in his arms on the table. A full fifty thousand taels of silver were given away without blinking an eye. This Linlang Pavilion was indeed very wealthy.

Jiang Tang said: If you spend other people's money to do your own business, you still have to keep half of it.

"Sir, to be honest, the Third Princess has been telling me for a long time that I must go all out in the construction of Qingzhou City. As for those who sit back and do nothing and watch the show, I will also write a memorial to the emperor!"

Jiang Tang looked at everyone and attracted a wave of hatred for the Third Princess.

Even if you contributed the prescription to save the entire Qingzhou City, and you have many good points, as long as there is one bad thing, all your contributions can be wiped out.

That's human nature.

Extremely cold and ungrateful!

"Don't blame the Third Princess for being overbearing. It was my Princess who provided the good prescription and saved your lives. Even if I ask you to pay it back now, it is understandable!"

When everyone heard this, they gnashed their teeth and looked at the Third Princess's lackeys with fire in their eyes.

All the kindness in the past has now turned into resentment.

Prefect Zhou turned his head to look at Jiang Tang, and felt that something was a little bit wrong. This was bringing hatred to the Third Princess.

Is he arrogant and conceited, or is he scheming and has ulterior motives?

Seeing that the other party was on an equal footing with him and had no regard for superiors and inferiors, the prefect silently chose the former.

He must have thought that he could do whatever he wanted with the support of the Third Princess.

The prefect calmly picked up the teacup and drank it slowly and leisurely. Her arrogance would benefit herself in the end.

She's happy to see it work.

"Ling Yu, who donated money, who didn't, and how much they donated, take note for me. The memorial to the Third Princess has already been written!"

This is no longer just mobilizing everyone to donate money, this is blatant robbery!

"I don't have the wealth of Boss Jiang, nor do I have the protection of the towering tree behind Boss Jiang. I am just trying to make a living with my small business, and I really don't have the ability to contribute to Qingzhou City."

It was the same boss who spoke. Jiang Tang squinted his eyes and looked at him secretly. He thought that this must be the leader of this group of merchants!

"In Ling Yuji, the owner of Duobao Jade House accused the Qingzhou prefect of being unable to govern, which led to the economic downturn. He resented the Third Princess for bullying the weak and having no virtue."

"Yes!"

Ling Yu took out a notebook and a pen from his bosom and actually wrote down every word that Jiang Tang said.

The owner of Duobao Jade Building is anxious!

"Wait a minute, how dare you misinterpret my meaning!"

Jiang Tang ignored him and asked Ling Yu to continue writing.

If this were reported to the higher authorities, the prefect would be able to skin her alive.

"Qingzhou City is the responsibility of each of us. Even if life is difficult, we will definitely lend a helping hand!"

The boss spoke anxiously, it seems that there is no doubt that blood will be shed today, it's just so frustrating!

In the past, in such a situation, the prefect would talk to them for a long time, and only after the merchants had gained enough reputation would they reluctantly agree.

Today you are being led by the nose. If you don't leave, someone will chop you with a knife. Which one do you want, your life or money?

Jiang Tang behaves so domineeringly because he has the power of the Third Princess behind him. Do you really think that the Third Princess can cover the sky with one hand?

Even though they have to swallow their loss today, they will never let it go and will definitely repay Her Royal Highness the Third Princess who is so high and mighty!

Jiang Tang nodded with satisfaction and asked.

"How much help do you want to give?"

The woman bit her cheek tightly and uttered a few words.

"I don't know if ten thousand taels would satisfy you?"

"Are you admitting that your Duobao Jade Building is not as good as my Linlang Pavilion?"

I offer 50,000 and you offer 10,000. If you admit that you are not as good as me, I will agree to your offer.

As long as you dare to admit it, I will make a sign and hang it on the door of your store tomorrow.

My Duobao Jade Building is inferior to Linlang Pavilion in every way. I am just a piece of trash.

The owner of Duobao Jade House looked at Jiang Tang's malicious eyes and silently swallowed the words on his lips.

He had no choice but to grit his teeth and pay out 50,000 taels.

After Duobao Pavilion was taken over, there was naturally no objection from those behind. However, when it came to the last merchant, Jiang Tang spoke again.

"But you are Mr. Wu from Wu's Bank? I have heard of you for a long time. You are truly a well-deserved benevolent businessman. You usually take good care of the people. Please don't make this donation!"

wow——

As soon as these words were spoken, all eyes were instantly fixed on Wu Qiao. The middle-aged woman was stared at so hard that she broke out in a cold sweat and did not feel any joy at all.

This is not helping her, this is harming her!

But she couldn't say anything. Should she say that she was not a righteous businessman? Or should she refute that the other party was exploiting the people?

You can only hold your nose and accept it!

The prefect was overwhelmed when he received the millions of taels of silver in his hand. In the past, he had talked his mouth off and made countless favors, but he could not get so much money from their pockets.

This woman named Jiang Tang is quite capable!

"Da da da"

The servant rushed in and knelt down in front of the prefect in front of more than 20 merchants in the room.

"My lord, it's bad, the young masters in the backyard are fighting!"

The master is a man who is not capable of taking on responsibilities. He looks big and strong, but he is even more timid than a mouse. For such an important matter, we can only trouble the prefect.

The prefect jumped up upon hearing the news, and the surrounding merchants also looked nervous, because they all knew that their children were coming to attend the flower-viewing banquet today.

Why did they start fighting for no reason?

Everyone else stood up and fidgeted, but Jiang Tang leaned back in his armchair calmly, turning the Buddhist beads in his hand nonchalantly.

Whether others are dead or injured, it has nothing to do with me!
