“What if I don’t agree?”

The yamen servant suddenly became a little angry.

“Hey, I’ve never met anyone more arrogant than me here. Who are you? How dare you refuse to hand over what I asked you to hand over?”

This yamen officer must have always had smooth sailing and never been frustrated. His tone was quite sarcastic: “Do you know who our master is?”

Jiang Zhou glanced at Jiao Heng, who was making frantic gestures, and shook his head slightly: “I don’t know who your master is.”

The yamen officer raised his eyebrows: “Our master is the newly appointed Master Liu; you don’t know this? How come you are hanging around here?”

He said in a very proud tone: “Master Liu loves his wife the most, and the brother-in-law is his wife’s most beloved brother.”

At this time, Jiang Zhou suddenly spoke: “I remember you.”

The yamen servant took off the grass in his mouth and said, “Huh?” He thought it was because he was famous and felt a little happy in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhou continued: “I remember, I saw you last year when I went to the government office. What was your name?”

He thought hard for a long time: “Your name is Li… Li Han?” In fact, Jiang Zhou didn’t see him at all.

It was the memory from the time-traveler.

When he was deceived into signing the transfer document, the traveler didn’t know anything about the ancient deed, so he thought it was enough to just sign his name. In order to make the traveler felt more at ease, the businessman took him to the government office. The deed was written in writing – the time traveler could not write traditional Chinese characters at all, nor could he use a writing brush.

When they went to sign the paperwork, they happened to see Li Han coming out of the clerk’s office. The two bumped into each other, and the clerk called Li Han.

If it were Jiang Zhou or a time traveler from the past, they might not be able to recall these memories. However, when Jiang Zhou recalled it, it was very clear, and he could even smell the faint smell of ink.

Li Han didn’t care what he thought clearly: “Since you already know my identity, hand over the wood.”

He looked up and down Jiang Zhou again and saw that although he was dressed decently, he didn’t look like he was rich.

He looked like a common man, so he murmured in a low voice: “You don’t look like you can afford this wood.”

Jiang Zhou stopped paying attention to him, turned to Jiao Yu, and said, “Now that we have signed the contract, this business has to be done. We should keep doing it, don’t you think, old man?”

Jiao Yu stroked his beard and nodded: “The most important thing for a businessman is integrity. Since we have agreed to Little Brother Jiang, we will naturally not allow the same goods to be sold again.”

Jiang Zhou then smiled: ” Shopkeeper Jiao, let’s go and do the notarization.”

Jiao Yu nodded and called his son: “Heng’er.”

Jiao Heng: “Dad.”

“Show these two guests the newly arrived batch of wood. Little Brother Jiang and I will go to the government office.”

After saying that, they both ignored the two government officials and turned around and walked out.

.

The remaining Li Han and the yamen servant Lu Yi next to him blushed. They looked at each other and saw a trace of anger in each other’s eyes.

Jiao Heng pretended not to know and went up to him: “Masters, let’s take a look at that new batch of wood?”

Li Han spat out the grass clippings with a “bah” sound, and said impatiently: “What a fart!”

He signaled Lu Yi, and the two of them walked out of the shop angrily.

.

In the government office.

The government office was basically on holiday for the Chinese New Year at the moment, and only the on-duty paperwork was left in order to facilitate anyone dealing with property during the Chinese New Year.

When Jiang Zhou and Jiao Yu came with the deed, the clerk was dozing off on the table, drooling everywhere.

Jiang Zhou knocked on the table and woke up the clerk.

By the way, hey, he was still an acquaintance, he happened to be the one who wrote documents for the time traveler before.

Ordinarily, this matter had nothing to do with him and the time traveler himself who was deceived, so Jiang Zhou didn’t say anything when he saw the clerk.

Unexpectedly, the drowsy clerk looked up and saw him and immediately fell off his chair in fright: “You, you, you…”

This reaction was so subtle that Jiang Zhou had to think more, so he asked: “What? Did something happen to you?”

The clerk wiped his face and laughed dryly: “It’s okay, it’s okay, what are you…?”

Jiao Yu said: “Let’s sign a deed.”

The clerk had something in his heart when he heard the deed. After these two words, his legs trembled, and he fell off the chair. When he raised his eyes, he saw Jiang Zhou’s eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

He swallowed his saliva, indicating that he was stable, and then coughed: “What kind of deed?”

Jiang Zhou wanted to test it, so he held down Jiao Yu, who was about to speak, and said: “A transaction deed.”

What he said was exactly the same as what the time traveler said when he was deceived, and Jiang Zhou even deliberately controlled his tone to be exactly the same.

Sure enough, the clerk was frightened. His expression was dull, as pale as dirt under Jiang Zhou’s meaningful gaze.

However, he still remembered that he was in the Yamen at this moment and stammered: “Okay… let me see what the deed looks like first.”

He reluctantly sat on the chair and saw that the deed was not related to a house transaction. He finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not dare to relax too much.

He stamped the documents with caution and signed his name: “Okay… okay, each of you will have one copy, and the Yamen will prepare another copy. If either party fails to fulfill the obligations stipulated in the contract when it expires, the contract will be invalidated, and compensation will be made in accordance with the law.”

He did not dare to look up at Jiang Zhou and quickly signed the deed. After finishing, they were urged to leave.

Jiang Zhou didn’t force him and went out to say goodbye to Jiao Yu: “I’ll go to the bank to get the money and send it to you. You can go back and wait.”

Jiao Yu had witnessed the quarrel between Jiang Zhou and the clerk, but it was none of his business. He only cared about his wood business, so he said goodbye and went back.

.

Jiang Zhou went to the bank in the town.

Most of the money he spent on business was in copper coins, which were quite inconvenient. However, using them for large-scale business would be troublesome, so he went to the bank to exchange them for banknotes and kept them. It was more convenient.

Because he had saved a lot in the bank, he was a distinguished customer there, and the interest rate on his savings was one percent higher than others.

.

On the other side, Li Han returned to his so-called brother-in-law’s house.

Coincidentally, the man surname was also Liu, and his name was Liu Lin. Liu Lin happened to be at his sister’s house, chatting with his brother-in-law.

When Li Han arrived, Liu Lin looked at his expression and knew that things had not gone well, so he couldn’t help but feel angry and annoyed.

He looked down upon these government servants left behind by the previous administration. In his opinion, they were as dull as pigs, procrastinating in getting things done, and only trying to flatter themselves every day.

But no matter how he followed his brother-in-law and his family to this place, there were only two yamen servants to support him. They took care of some things that were inconvenient for him and even made a lot of money through the influence of the yamen.

Others also knew that he was not stupid, and he was not annoyed when he realized that these two people came to him because of his brother-in-law’s face and the financial temptations from time to time.

He just felt that they were both brainless. Just like now, Li Han opened his mouth to say something, but he coughed twice before interrupting.

Next to him was his serious brother-in-law. Liu Lin was a little afraid of him, so he said with a shy face: “Brother-in-law, I have to go out for something…”

Master Liu nodded indifferently and sat back to study the chess game.

.

Liu Lin then led the people out: “What’s going on?”

Li Han told him the story in an embellished manner, while quietly observing Liu Lin’s expression, and sure enough, he saw that his face was red with anger.

Li Han pretended to be filled with righteous indignation: “How dare they snatch anything that belongs to you, young master!”

Liu Lin rolled his eyes at him and said to himself this stupid ox just didn’t know how to do it, but in the end, he was provoked: “Let’s go and take a look.”

He went to talk to his brother-in-law, Liu Chengfeng first.

Liu Chengfeng glanced at him; his mind still focused on the chessboard: “Where to go?”

Liu Lin was not afraid of anything, but he was afraid of his brother-in-law. Of course, he did not dare to tell him that he was going to steal wood from someone.

He smiled apologetically: “Brother-in-law, I’ve been here for so long and I haven’t walked around the town yet. I want to take advantage of the nice weather today to go out and have a look.”

Liu Chengfeng nodded and warned: “Don’t cause trouble outside.”

Liu Lin shrank out of the door and instantly became full of momentum.

.

It was a coincidence that as soon as Jiang Zhou paid the money, Liu Lin arrived.

The two people met at the door of the shop. Liu Lin’s face was extremely ugly: “Is it you?!”

Jiang Zhou’s face also turned dark.

Wasn’t this the spice merchant who cheated him of his money?

Even if this face turned into ashes, he would be able to recognize it!

He hated the two people most in his life. One was the time traveler. He hated him for treating Wen Yan, whom he usually regarded as a treasure, as a freak, using his physical identity to spread malice and make Wen Yan sad.

The second was this spice businessman. He used the time traveler foolishness, defrauded his trust and money. When he woke up, his family was completely destitute, and he even lost his wife!

What was even more hateful was that after he woke up, the two people seemed to have disappeared. The time traveler was just a soul from another world. He could forget about it if he couldn’t find it. He was very annoyed when he couldn’t even find Liu Lin.

Fortunately, there was no end to the road, and God had brought him right in front of him.

Jiang Zhou was gritting his teeth when Li Han jumped out again without blinking: “You brat, you are so arrogant. Do you see who this is? This is Master Liu’s brother-in-law, if you are wise enough, hand over the batch of wood you bought, kneel on the ground, and shout master three times. Say you were wrong!”

Liu Lin stared at him for a long time without moving and was a little nervous. After Li Han finished speaking, he suddenly woke up – yes, who dares to offend him.

He burst out laughing in an instant: “Hey, who do I think don’t have eyes? Turns out it was you.”

Jiang Zhou recalled his memories and was already extremely angry. Now that he was provoked, he was even more angry but he controlled it.

He was not stupid; he naturally knew that there was a backup for Liu Lin’s arrogance. If he really wanted to be tough, Liu Lin might not be afraid of him.

Besides, if something bad happened, there was a very small possibility that Master Liu would help him. He was a man with family, so it would be bad if he dragged Wen Yan down.

Judging from Liu Lin’s arrogance and Li Han’s style, they must have bullied many people. He didn’t believe that Liu Lin could not be dealt with.

Therefore, he smiled calmly, but the hatred in his eyes was directed at Liu Lin, who looked proud: “What, do you have an opinion?”
