The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 478: Silver Note

Steward Yang dared not be dismissive of Jiang Youzhi; scholars are cunning, and you wouldn’t even know when you’d been outsmarted.

He courteously said, "Since Scholar Jiang has spoken, let’s do it this way. I’ll double the silver, for a total of forty taels."

"I reckon this should be enough for buying the coffin and covering the travel expenses."

Jiang Youzhi nodded slowly, "Third Uncle, what do you think?"

Jiang Hua hastily responded, "Let’s do it this way."

Si Lang was discontent beside them, "No way, forty taels is too little!"

"Without a thousand taels, I’ll report to the authorities!"

Before arriving, Madam Yang had told him that those running casinos are definitely afraid of reports to the authorities. As long as you mention reporting, they’ll give whatever amount of silver.

Upon hearing Si Lang’s words, a murderous glint flickered in Steward Yang’s eyes.

They indeed fear reports to the authorities; though they have connections in the government office, running a casino is explicitly banned by the court, and it wouldn’t be easy to handle openly.

The main issue is the hassle; if the casino isn’t managed well, they might even have to change locations.

In that case, business would worsen significantly.

Jiang Hua happened to be watching Steward Yang, not missing the murderous intent in his eyes. He shivered and sternly scolded Si Lang, "What did I tell you before? If you don’t listen to me, both Sanlang and I won’t be involved in this matter."

Si Lang, seeing Jiang Hua speaking decisively, although dissatisfied, dared not say anything further. After all, there were two thugs standing behind Steward Yang, and he knew he couldn’t handle them alone.

Steward Yang took out forty taels of silver and gave it to Jiang Hua, then said, "Nothing has been touched on him; you can check, perhaps there’s something left behind."

Jiang Hua, seeing Si Lang like that, became increasingly unwilling to get involved, "Si Lang, see what your father has on him."

Si Lang hesitated for a moment, walked over, checked Jiang Rong, and found a bit more than one tael of scattered silver and a silver note of one hundred taels. Not recognizing the silver note, he took it to Jiang Youzhi, who confirmed it was a silver note.

After examining it, Jiang Youzhi returned the silver note to him, "This silver note was given by me to Second Uncle."

"I gave him a total of two hundred taels, and he returned the IOU to me last time."

Si Lang then tucked the silver note into his bosom. Jiang Hua’s mouth moved as if he wanted to say something, but he held back.

Jiang Youzhi stepped outside, "Let’s go buy a coffin, and get the person removed. Leaving him here is not proper."

Only then did Steward Yang breathe a sigh of relief, repeatedly bowing to Jiang Youzhi.

Jiang Hua and Si Lang quickly followed Jiang Youzhi out.

They arrived at the coffin shop, Jiang Hua took the lead and bought a coffin for three taels of silver. They dragged Jiang Rong’s body in through the back door of the casino, placed him inside, and dragged him out through the back door again.

Along the way, Jiang Youzhi pondered that Third Uncle seemed like a changed man this time.

This time, without argument or disturbance, he didn’t try to extort any silver and didn’t cause trouble for him; he just handled the matter.

Furthermore, his attitude was respectful and compliant, which seemed rather peculiar.

The coffin was temporarily placed at a temple outside the city, with plans to send it back to the countryside early in the morning.

After handling this matter, it was already time for dinner, and none of them had eaten lunch.

Jiang Youzhi then said, "Let’s find a restaurant, I’ll treat Third Uncle and Si Lang to a meal."

Jiang Hua quickly waved his hand, "There’s no need, no need. Just find a small eatery by the street to have a meal."

Jiang Youzhi took another look at Jiang Hua; Third Uncle was indeed different.

Not only was his attitude different, but he also didn’t seem as greedy as before.

Jiang Youzhi then spoke more sincerely, "I neglected lunch, in my haste to handle matters, which caused you all to not eat. Dinner, at least, should be a good one."

He took the two to Bao Feng Building and let them order the dishes themselves.
