I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

Ning Chuan's body shook, and he looked at the shopkeeper with one hand covering his forehead.

"You are not allowed to accept any more customers. I won't pay a penny more than 100,000 taels!"

"Of course, of course." The shopkeeper smiled warmly, but his eyes kept glancing at Ning Chuan's chest.

Ning Chuan sighed helplessly, took out a stack of banknotes from his arms, counted out half of them and handed them to the shopkeeper.

"Take it, one hundred thousand taels!"

"Thank you, Mr. Ning." The shopkeeper looked at Ning Chuan with a smile, but the latter did not appreciate it at all and walked forward with a red face.

As soon as Ning Chuan left Tianxia Restaurant, Jiang Yuan walked to the front of the stage with the other two people.

"Where's your shopkeeper?"

"Hey, sir, I'm here, I'm here!" The shopkeeper came over hurriedly.

This is the noble man who helped sell 100,000 taels of silver in one day!

"Well, boss, I have something to discuss with you." Jiang Yuan greeted him with a smile.

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly: "Sir, please feel free to speak up. As long as I can help, I will do my best to help!"

"Hey, we are brothers. I came here specially to help you solve the problem." Jiang Yuan said seriously.

The shopkeeper looked at Jiang Yuan and asked doubtfully, "Sir, there's nothing wrong with our Tianxia Restaurant. What do you mean by that?"

"Look, you've forgotten. I was asking you, does your Tianxia Restaurant still have any wine?" Jiang Yuan said softly.

The shopkeeper slapped his forehead and said, "Oh my! I really forgot that the young master has bought all the wine."

"That's right, so I'm here to help you solve the problem." Jiang Yuan came forward with a smile.

"Brother, don't move the wine I want. Just return it to me at the original price."

"This is a bit inappropriate..." the shopkeeper hesitated.

It is not an easy task to sell a total of 3,500 jars of wine. Next time, you will never be able to find such a stupid, oh no, such a generous customer even if you search with a lantern.

"Boss, this is a bit unfair of you. Let me ask you, what will you do when these people ask for wine?" Jiang Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Are you going to tell the customers that you're sold out? For such a big restaurant, you're destroying your reputation!"

The shopkeeper shook his head repeatedly: "That's definitely not possible."

"Well, that's more like it." Jiang Yuan nodded in satisfaction. "How about this, I won't cheat you. Just return it to me at the original price."

Seeing that the shopkeeper was still a little hesitant, Jiang Yuan immediately extended a finger.

The two looked at each other meaningfully, nodded and smiled without saying anything.

After the shopkeeper handed 50,000 taels of silver to Jiang Yuan, Jiang Yuan calmly stuffed a 1,000 tael silver note into his hand.

The four of them walked out of Tianxia Restaurant again. Qin Tianzhu couldn't help but admire him, "Sir, you're truly amazing! You've earned fifty thousand taels in such a short time! You're truly a role model for our generation!"

Duanmu Yuanchen looked at the two of them speechlessly. Isn't this just cheating others?

What is there to praise? Why do you, Old Jiang, still act so proud of it?

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and chase me!"

This guy planned to bribe me with 200,000 taels. He spent 100,000 taels at Tianxia Restaurant, so he still has 100,000 taels on him!

Jiang Yuan said this and quickened his pace to chase Ning Chuan in the distance.

"Master, it's not a good idea for us to beat people in the street, right?" Wang Gang said in a low voice, scratching his head.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but shake his head. "Vulgar! Really vulgar! This is the imperial capital, under the feet of the emperor. How can we use violence against him?"

"Besides, we are all gentlemen. We need to reason with him and convince him with virtue. We need to make him give me money willingly. Do you understand?"

Wang Gang blinked, "But didn't you say, sir, that only by holding the truth can one win over others with virtue?"

"What is truth?" Duanmu Yuanchen asked curiously.

Jiang Yuan coughed twice quickly. The truth bomb could not be exposed yet.

"Okay, enough talking, let's go chase them!"

After saying that, Jiang Yuan took the lead and started jogging. Soon, the four of them finally stopped Ning Chuan in front of a teahouse.

"Mr. Ning, I'm so happy to see you again!" Jiang Yuan put on a smile that he thought was very enthusiastic.

Ning Chuan gritted his teeth and looked at Jiang Yuan, "Damn it! You dare to appear in front of me? One hundred thousand taels of silver!"

Those banknotes converted into silver would be enough to bury you.

"I'm not happy to see you at all!" Ning Chuan said gritting his teeth.

"Mr. Ning, please don't be so stingy. For a young talent like you with a prominent family background, what happened just now is nothing." Jiang Yuan said loudly.

Ning Chuan's face had a complicated expression. He had just cheated him, and now he was saying a bunch of nice things. What on earth did this guy want to do?

"I've already eaten and paid for you. There's no need to waste time talking. What on earth do you want to do by stopping me?"

Jiang Yuan put on a look of gratitude and said, "Yes, I didn't expect Master Ning to be so kind-hearted. Now it seems that what I did just now was my fault."

"So, I'm coming to you with a sincere heart of remorse, aren't I? And I'm coming with quite a bit of sincerity this time."

"What is it?" Ning Chuan asked subconsciously.

Jiang Yuan smiled mysteriously and pointed to the teahouse nearby: "Mr. Ning, why not go in and discuss in detail?"

Not to mention this, as soon as he mentioned entering the store, Ning Chuan's face suddenly turned dark.

"I'll treat you this time!" Jiang Yuan raised his head and spoke lightly.

"Well, then come in and sit for a while. I want to see what sincerity you can show." Ning Chuan sneered and took the lead to walk towards the teahouse.

Jiang Yuan's mouth curled up slightly, the fish was hooked.

After the group walked into the teahouse, Jiang Yuan asked for a private room and the waiter quickly made hot tea for them.

"Don't keep me in suspense. I'm in a hurry. Just tell me now."

Jiang Yuan nodded without hesitation, then took out a token from his waist and threw it on the table.

Snapped!

The sound of the token falling on the table startled Ning Chuan.

"This, what is this?" Ning Chuan frowned.

Even though he was not an official, he knew that only first-rank officials were qualified to carve cranes on tokens and clothes.

But how could Jiang Yuan have this thing? How could he, an eighth-rank county magistrate, get such a token?

Jiang Yuan took a sip from his teacup before speaking, "Master Ning, you wouldn't be unfamiliar with this token, would you?"

"Of course I know it, but where did you get this thing?" Ning Chuan frowned and looked at Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan turned the token over calmly, and the word "Yang" engraved on it suddenly appeared in front of Ning Chuan.

"Now, Master Ning should understand clearly, right?"

At this moment, Ning Chuan's mind felt like a kitchen knife cutting an electric wire, sending sparks and lightning all the way.

"I really didn't expect that the Yang family would even take out this thing." Ning Chuan said angrily.

There are only a limited number of tokens in a family, and once registered with the court, they cannot be easily replaced.

Seeing the token is equivalent to seeing the person in person.

Jiang Yuan definitely couldn't get this thing, the only explanation was that it was given by the Yang family.

It was definitely a big deal for Yang Cheng to give this thing to Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan immediately put on a heartbroken look, "That's right. Originally, I wasn't planning to cooperate, but today, when I saw Master Ning spend a hundred thousand taels of silver on us without batting an eyelid, I immediately regretted it!"

"Now that I think about it, cooperating with Master Ning is my best choice!"

"That's right, that's right!" Ning Chuan nodded without hesitation.

Then he took out the remaining 100,000 taels of silver from his pocket and slapped it on the table.

"A mere 100,000 taels of silver is nothing. Young Master Jiang, please accept this 100,000 taels for now. I will definitely reward you handsomely after the matter is accomplished!"
