Chapter 85: Of the Fertility of the Imagination

"three times."

After hearing Jiang Ling say that she had unknowingly owed Yuan Wei three times the money, Jiang Wan really felt that she was really unlucky today.

It's okay, there will be a road for the car to reach the mountain anyway, and the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge. At worst, it will be debt first. Anyway, if you have too much debt, you don't have to worry about it, Jiang Wan thought in his heart.

But now Jiang Ling has told Yuan Wei that I am Jiang Wan, and others also know that my name is Jiang Wan. What should I do?

While Jiang Wan was still in the room, racking their brains with Jiang Ling on how to solve this matter, Yuan Wei directly asked everyone outside the door separated by the wall.

"Is the Jiang Wan you know the same person who opened the door just now?" Yuan Wei asked in confusion.

After hearing what Yuan Wei said, Xu Ziwei immediately asked, "What? From what you said before, you and Jiang Wan know each other. Is it possible that the Jiang Wan you know is different from the one we know?"

Yuan Wei was about to answer Xu Ziwei's question, when the door to Jiang Wan's room suddenly opened.

Before everyone could speak to Jiang Wan, Jiang Wan walked over quickly, dragged Yuan Wei into the room, and closed the door.

"you……"

Before Yuan Wei could speak up and ask Jiang Wan questions, Jiang Wan struck first and blocked Yuan Wei's mouth with words.

"I know you must have a lot of doubts about why I look different from the Jiang Wan you met before."

"Well, so, are you a liar? You have to know that I let Xu Ziwei go for three times the price your sister guaranteed.

But now you are not the person I know, how do you want me to believe that you can compensate for my losses?" Yuan Wei looked at Jiang Ling angrily and asked.

Even this little girl couldn't beat me, and now she's cheating me of my poor little money, Yuan Wei thought sadly in her heart.

"Although I am not the person you know, I am not a liar either. My name is indeed Jiang Wan, but my Wan is Wanru's Wan, not night's Wan." Jiang Wan said calmly.

But they don’t all say it’s your lateness, it’s the lateness of the night. Even my senior brother Li Cheng said so.

"Well, you have to know one thing. If you are floating in the world, you must have some protection."

"So your only protection is to use someone else's name?" Yuan Wei asked in disbelief.

Hearing Yuan Wei's words, Jiang Wan had no choice but to explain: "I'm not actually pretending. The Jiang Wan you know is actually my brother."

Hearing this, Jiang Ling really admired the young lady.

Just now, the young lady said that she had found a solution. Did she actually plan to fabricate a non-existent brother? Her idea is really good.

However, although Jiang Ling was shocked, her face still showed nothing.

Nonsense, if I trouble the young lady at this time, she will really be doomed. Jiang Ling still knows this.

Looking at the young lady with a calm face again, Jiang Ling felt that in the future, he would still have to work hard to follow the young lady's footsteps and learn from her fearless spirit in the face of danger.

Yuan Wei, who listened to Jiang Wan's words here, easily believed Jiang Wan's statement. After all, Jiang Ling had mentioned the three thousand taels of gold before. Presumably, what the brother and sister said was still guaranteed.

However, he still wanted to pursue the money.

"Even if you are his sister, you still have to repay my money on time. You must also know that I have always recognized money but not people." Yuan Wei replied nonchalantly.

"Okay, can you promise me something? For example, don't tell others that I'm pretending to be my brother." Jiang Wan asked Yuan Wei in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.

"Of course you can, just pay. As long as you can afford the hush fee, I will definitely keep it secret. Otherwise, as you know, based on my relationship with my senior brother, I can't guarantee that I won't tell him."

Yuan Wei said with a smile.

After hearing what Yuan Wei said, Jiang Wan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, just do the math. How much money do I have to give you in total?"

After hearing this from Jiang Wan

After saying this, Yuan Wei immediately took out the small abacus he carried with him from his side, and then started calculating the accounts.

Jiang Wan saw Yuan Wei make two calculations at random, and then he suddenly turned around and said with a smile: "A total of one thousand taels of gold, thank you for your patronage."

"One thousand taels of gold, why don't you go and grab it?" Before Jiang Wan could say anything, Jiang Ling immediately lost his composure.

"You have to know that although the charge for my tasks is not particularly high, you still want me to keep your secrets, and this secret costs a lot of money.

If you don't want me to be conservative, then just pay three thousand taels of silver. After all, I received one thousand taels of silver for this mission."

Hearing what Yuan Wei said, Jiang Ling was speechless. After all, he had promised Yuan Wei to pay him three times the price.

After hearing what Yuan Wei said just now, Jiang Wan actually wanted to ask who wanted to spend one thousand taels of silver to kill Xu Ziwei, but Jiang Ling interrupted her and she suddenly thought.

Isn't the target of the murder beside her now? Ask Yuan Wei, if he is hired anonymously, ask Yuan Wei himself. With his temperament, he will probably take the opportunity to extort a sum of money from her, or should he just wait and see?

Just ask Xu Ziwei.

Anyway, they will go to the academy soon, and there shouldn't be anything life-threatening if they go to the academy, Jiang Wan thought in her heart.

"It's only one thousand taels of gold. I can still afford this amount of money, but..."

"Just what?" Yuan Wei asked anxiously. After all, Jiang Wan's words were related to his small money, and he was still very concerned about his money.

"It's just that I don't have so much money with me at the moment. If you want money, I will write you an IOU in the name of my brother, and then you go to Qi State, ah no, to Jinzhou City in Chu State to find Jiang Mian

, ask him to withdraw money for you. You should be familiar with Jiang Mian, right?"

After hearing Jiang Wan's words, Yuan Wei thought of Jiang Wan, whom he met in Jinzhou City three years ago. He felt that these words were quite convincing, but with only an IOU, he still didn't dare to put them into practice.

"I think the suggestion you mentioned is feasible, but if it's just based on an IOU, I'm afraid Jiang Mian won't believe it if I go to Jinzhou City."

"Don't worry, I will give you a token. I guarantee that Jiang Mian will definitely believe what you say after reading it."

Saying this, Jiang Wan took off the peace talisman he wore around his neck, and then handed the peace talisman to Yuan Wei's hand.

After that, Yuan Wei saw Jiang Wan take pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the table, and seemed to be planning to write an IOU to him on the spot.

Just when Jiang Wan wrote down the amount of debt, Yuan Wei suddenly stopped Jiang Wan.

"etc."

"Is there something wrong?" Jiang Ling on the side asked doubtfully, while Jiang Wan also looked at Yuan Wei doubtfully.

"Now you let me collect the debt by myself. It's a long and tiring journey, so you don't have to reimburse me for it."

After hearing what Yuan Wei said, Jiang Wan immediately replied: "Don't worry, I will pay you separately for your travel expenses later. As for this IOU, it's better to just write one thousand taels of gold. After all, write it in a round number.

It’s quite auspicious.”

"Well, since you said that, I don't have anything else to add." Yuan Wei replied.

In this way, the three of them reached an agreement, Jiang Wan successfully solved the problem of his identity, and Yuan Wei also got the small amount of money he cherished, even though it was just an IOU.

Regarding this matter, perhaps the most unlucky person is Jiang Mian, who has unknowingly shouldered a huge debt for his brother.

After successfully solving the matter, the three people left the room.

But as soon as he walked out of the room, Yuan Wei grabbed Li Cheng's hand and expressed that he wanted to go to Jinzhou City with Li Cheng to collect the debt, but Li Cheng hesitated.

Li Cheng looked at Jiang Wan, and then at his junior brother who wanted to collect the debt. He said with difficulty, "How about we wait a few more days? The money won't escape anyway."

After hearing what Li Cheng said, Yuan Wei simply couldn't understand it.

"Senior brother, that's not an ordinary sum of money, that's a whole thousand taels."

"It's only one thousand taels. I won't wait a few more days."

It doesn't matter." Li Cheng returned indifferently. After all, he still wanted Jiang Wan to cook some meals for him before Jiang Wan went to the academy.

But then Yuan Wei whispered in Li Cheng's ear: "Gold."

Hearing these two words, Li Cheng's first reaction was that Jiang Wan and the others must have been tricked by Li Cheng.

But Jiang Wan, who could see what Li Cheng meant, took the initiative to explain: "Li Cheng, you don't have to worry, Yuan Wei deserves this."

Yuan Wei, who heard Jiang Wan's words, looked at his senior brother's expression and realized that it was because of Jiang Wan that his senior brother wanted to stay here?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that my guess was correct. After listening to what I said just now, my senior brother seemed to look to the side first, then at himself, and finally said that he wanted to stay for a few more days before leaving.

And that direction seemed to be the direction where Jiang Wan was.

Is it the two of them?

Stop, how could you think so? Yuan Wei immediately shook his head and stopped his brainstorming.

Get rid of those dangerous thoughts in your mind, they are just ordinary friends, Yuan Wei kept hinting to himself in his mind.

But which friend would give up his junior brother who has been with him for many years and instead plan to teach him a lesson for the sake of his friend?

Judging from the look on senior brother's face just now, if Jiang Wan hadn't come out in time to explain, he would have planned to let himself hand over the IOU! New

Just when Yuan Wei was still thinking wildly about what Li Cheng had done just now, Jiang Ling suddenly stood up and disrupted everything.

"Okay, since you are all so entangled, let's go downstairs to eat quickly. I'm going to starve to death. I'm still a child, and it's the age when I'm growing up. Since none of you object, let's go downstairs to eat.

alright."

In this way, a group of people were led down the stairs by Jiang Ling, and then went to the hall, where they ordered a lot of breakfast.

Because of the random thoughts in Yuan Wei's mind, he temporarily forgot his strong desire to go to Jinzhou City to collect debts, and instead observed his senior brother and Jiang Wan.
