The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

Seeing that Ji Yuan and his group had quieted down, Jia Daoshi put down his crossbow and said calmly, "Ajiu is my wife, so I won't let you take her away. As for the money I took from you, just name your price and I'll pay you back! Now, you can get out of here!"

"Give it back to us?" Ji Yuan sneered. "I'm afraid you can't afford to pay that amount!"

As he spoke, Ji Yuan took out a contract of indenture from his fox fur and casually handed it to a thug next to him: "Show this poor scholar, and see what he has to offer in return!"

The thug took the indenture from Ji Yuan and walked up to Jia Daoshi.

"You signed and sealed this yourself! Are you sure you can pay back the amount on it?"

Ji Yuan looked at him with a mocking expression.

Jia Daoshi glanced at it and was so angry he almost suffered internal injuries!

The content is very simple.

If Jia Daoshi violates the agreement, he will have to repay a thousandfold, and the repayment must be made within three days!

If the debt cannot be repaid within three days, Ji Yuan can take Murong Jiu away unconditionally and take the case to the authorities, and Jia Daoshi will have to go to jail!

A thousandfold compensation!

It seems that Jia Daoshi was determined to sell his wife!

How could you sign such a clause?

You should know that two hundred coins a thousand times is two hundred taels of silver!

In these times of plenty, even if an ordinary person didn't eat or drink for a year, it would be impossible to save twenty taels!

Two hundred taels of silver?

That joke went a bit too far!

Zhou Laosi sneered: "Jia Daoshi, you can't pay this amount! Rather than risk your life, you might as well hand over your cripple."

Seeing Zhou Laosi's smug look, Jia Daoshi's eyes turned cold, and he raised the crossbow in his hand, aiming it at him: "Shut up, or the next arrow will fall on your head!"

Zhou Laosi was startled. He was terrified of Jia Daoshi's beating, and sure enough, he didn't say anything more!

"Stop talking nonsense. I don't believe he'd actually dare to fire an arrow. Take both of these young ladies away!"

Ji Yuan had just lost face, and now he had to get his revenge!

Those dozen or so burly men, who had just been forced back by Jia Daoshi's arrow, felt extremely humiliated and wanted to show off again, so they all surrounded Jia Daoshi!

"call out!"

Without a second thought, Jia Daoshi raised his hand and shot an arrow!

"call out!"

The two burly men at the front let out a scream and fell to the ground!

"My legs! My legs!"

Sharp arrows pierced the thighs of the two burly men, and blood dripped incessantly, quickly staining the snow crimson!

Ji Yuan was terrified when he saw the two burly men lying on the ground screaming in agony!

This madman actually dared to fire an arrow!

As Jia Daoshi raised his crossbow and aimed again, the burly men behind him were so frightened that they quickly retreated!

"Damn it! Who told you to back down! Get up there!"

"Kill him!"

Ji Yuan is furious!

But at this moment, no matter how he shouted or yelled, these big men acted as if they hadn't heard him, and instead kept backing away!

That arrow is too strange; it shoots incredibly fast, there's no way to dodge it!

Nobody wants to have a hole shot through their body!

"Hmph! Jia Daoshi, do you think you've already won? Let me tell you, you're too smug! I'm going to report you to the authorities! I don't believe you'd dare to shoot an arrow at the officials!"

Ji Yuan's face was dark, and his tone was extremely venomous!

He never imagined that he would be unable to control a poor, pedantic scholar!

"Go to the authorities and sue me? On what grounds? Did I ever say I wouldn't pay back the money?!"

Jia Daoshi was also helpless. He felt like he was a great victim, having incurred such a large debt for no reason.

"Pay back the money?" Ji Yuan laughed heartily. "Two hundred coins! A thousand times that! Two hundred taels of silver! Pay it back within three days! It's not that I look down on you! But how will you pay it back?"

Ji Yuan looked smug, believing that he had Jia Daoshi cornered this time!

Meanwhile, a crowd had gathered outside the courtyard!

They were all villagers who came to watch the excitement!

The news that the young manager of Guang Sheng Hao Pharmacy in Yilan County had led a group of thugs into the village to find Jia Daoshi quickly spread throughout the village.

Jia Daoshi was a scoundrel in the village before, and many villagers hated him. Now they all want to see Jia Daoshi make a fool of himself.

"Three days! Two hundred taels of silver?"

"Are you dreaming? If I could pay this back, I'd eat the whole big stone mill at the village entrance!"

"This kid is definitely talking nonsense, he's acting crazy. Even our village head, who has fifty acres of fertile land, couldn't do that!"

"I think this young lady would be better off going with Young Master Ji! If she goes with Young Master Ji, she can at least get a full meal."

"But I've heard that Young Master Ji also runs a brothel in Yilan County!"

"It's like eating from a tiger's mouth and falling into a wolf's den..."

"..."

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way, all of you! Anyone who dares to bully my brother! I'll fight them to the death!"

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out in the crowd!

A large man rushed in from outside, and the crowd surrounding him was instantly scattered!

The burly men around Ji Yuan were also scattered by the impact, many of them falling to the ground with expressions of terror on their faces!

If you didn't know better, you'd think a giant bear had stormed in!

By the time they could see who it was, the guy was already standing in front of Jia Daoshi, glaring angrily at Ji Yuan and his group!

It was Jia Hu!

When Jia Hu rushed out to protect him, Jia Daoshi was both surprised and touched.

He stepped forward and walked to Jia Hu's side: "Hu Zi, don't worry about this."

"I will deliver the money to your residence within three days!"

As he spoke, Jia Daoshi raised the crossbow in his hand, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "Now, get out of here!"

Ji Yuan originally wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks to Jia Daoshi, but when he saw the muscular and bear-like body of the big guy Jia Hu, plus the crossbow in Jia Daoshi's hand, he frowned and said nothing more.

These two are freaks!

How evil!

A madman!

What an idiot!

Forget it, a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. He doesn't believe this guy can get two hundred taels of silver in three days!

When the time comes, we'll report it to the authorities and have that kid thrown in jail!

"go!"

Ji Yuan, his face grim, led his men away...
