The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich

646 Hand over the Jade Pendant

This was already the third time Lord Zhou told them to kneel.

Ji Changjin’s heart skipped a beat. The feeling of uneasiness in his heart began to stir again.

Zhou Changsheng’s attitude was too unusual!

His attitude was clearly too different from a few days ago.

Seeing that a few bailiffs were coming over aggressively to make them kneel, Ji Changjin knew what to do and immediately said to Zhou Changsheng, ” Lord Zhou, we brothers have only knelt to our parents and the heavens since we were young. We have never knelt to anyone else. So, we didn’t react in time. Please forgive us!”

As he spoke, he pretended to kneel down.

Ji Changjin’s words were to tell Zhou Changsheng that with their status, they had never kneeled before anyone. If he knew what was good for him, he should ask them to waive their fees. Otherwise, he would regret it later.

However, Zhou Changsheng didn’t know his place.

He even shouted at Ji Changxuan, ” kneel!”

Seeing this, Ji Changjin could only suppress his anger and kneel down. At the same time, he pulled Ji Changxuan, who was beside him, to kneel down with him.

Ji Changxuan was unwilling at first.

Ji Changjin said to him, ” third brother, the other party is a local tyrant after all. Let’s endure this for the time being. We’ll find them later to settle the scores! Otherwise, you’ll have to face the 10 flogging punishments.”

Although Ji Changxuan was usually willful and arrogant, he usually listened to his big brother.

Ji Changxuan could only kneel down unwillingly, but he glared at Zhou Changsheng.

Zhou Changsheng saw that the two of them had knelt down, and he asked, ” Zhang Yuanbin, you said that this person didn’t pay up. What happened? Tell me in detail!

Zhang Yuanbin replied, ” Yes, sir! As long as a guest came to this commoner’s restaurant to eat, drink, and stay, this commoner and my subordinates would treat them with great courtesy. However…”

Then, Zhang Yuanbin told them that the two of them had started to break and destroy things in the hotel room since the first day they stayed in the hotel. In seven days, the total amount of damage was huge. According to the rules and regulations of the hotel, they had intentionally damaged things, so they had to pay ten times the original price. The whole process was recorded one by one!

In the end, Zhang Yuanbin took out an account book and handed it to Zhou Changsheng. “Sir, this account book records all the accounts and property that they destroyed. This is the evidence.”

Zhou Changsheng took the book and flipped through it a few times. Then, he slammed the gavel and shouted at the two, ” Ji Changjin, Ji Changxuan, you have to pay back what you owe. It’s only right and proper to compensate for the damage done to property! The two of you are the young masters of the prefects, yet you refuse to return the money. What is the reason for that?”

Zhou Changsheng had called them out in public and said that the two of them, the young masters of the prefects, owed money and didn’t pay it back. It was simply embarrassing for them.

Ji Changjin looked at the contemptuous looks around him, and his face turned red. He immediately gritted his teeth and said, ” Lord Zhou, we didn’t say that we wouldn’t return the money. It’s just that we don’t have that much money on us, so we can only owe the restaurant first.”

Zhou Changsheng sneered in his heart, but he nodded and said, ” Oh, I see! Alright, then tell me first, how much can you pay for the damages now?”

Ji Changjin looked at Zhou Changsheng, who was closing in on him step by step. He gritted his teeth and said, ” twenty-three thousand taels! We can return the twenty thousand taels first!”

“big brother!” Ji Changxuan cried out in shock. He clearly didn’t want to pay.

However, Ji Changjin’s eyes glared fiercely at Ji Changxuan. There was an obvious warning in his eyes.

If Ji Changxuan had not broken these things in anger every day, they would not have been forced to kneel and pay back the money. These embarrassing things would not happen.

When Ji Changxuan saw the warning in his big brother’s eyes, he immediately shrank his neck and did not dare to make any more movements.

When Zhou Changsheng heard this, he said, ” since that’s the case, you can pay the 20000 taels first. Then, you can take out something as collateral. When you pay off the debt, this thing will be returned to its owner. How about it? ”

Zhou Changsheng said it very directly, which made Ji Changjin surprised.

He had never thought that Zhou Changsheng would treat them like this and be so aggressive.

However, the two of them had nothing else they could use as collateral other than the family heirloom jade pendant he had on him.
