Jia Rong also bowed his hands carelessly and said, “If you don’t mind, just call me Rong’er. After all, we will have to work together in the future, so I will ask you to take care of me in the future, so don’t be estranged.”

After hearing this, Captain Qiu calmed down a little and just wanted to take the money and settle the matter. He also laughed at this idiot for being ignorant and ignorant. He said, “Okay, okay.”

Jia Rong continued, “But there is one more thing I need to ask of you, big brother. After all, it was the children of the two families who were beaten, and I am now the head of the Jia family. If I don’t give an explanation to those children, I am afraid I will lose face in the family.”

After hearing this, Captain Qiu felt that his conjecture was confirmed. How could it be better to use money to ward off disaster? He reluctantly told the housekeeper, “Captain Rong, don’t worry. I will send someone to find some high-quality medicine and some silver. Captain Rong will pay the compensation on your behalf.”

“Okay, okay.” Jia Rong also nodded in the tone of Captain Qiu. Seeing the servants of the Qiu family holding out some silver ingots and ginseng, he was even more delighted. At least two or three hundred taels! Although he didn’t need this little money, the relatives from the outer rooms of the Ning and Rong mansions did.

Jia Rong stood up and bowed, saying, “Brother, you are very thoughtful and I admire you. It was just a misunderstanding, but I didn’t expect it to lead to this. I am young and I can’t control my temper. I hope you can bear with me.”

Captain Qiu’s heart was bleeding, but when he saw Jia Rong was satisfied, he waved his hand and said with relief, “It’s okay, it’s okay.” Just as he was thinking that the disaster was finally over, he saw Jia Rong suddenly paused, which made him frown as well.

Could it be that this idiot feels that the silver is not enough?

A cold light flashed in Captain Qiu’s eyes.

Jia Rong turned around and said, “I am sorry to offend you today, but I feel like we are old friends right away. I didn’t know you until we met. If you don’t mind, I am willing to be your brother.”

Ok?

Ok?

Everyone in the hall was dumbfounded, even Lai Sheng, who was holding the silver, had a dazed look in his eyes.

What does uncle want to do?

What’s even more dumbfounded is Qiu Jiheng?

What? How can I become a nephew?

Seeing Qiu Bailin in a daze, Jia Rong hurried over, held his hand intimately and said, “Brother, do you dislike me? If you do dislike me, I will not leave today until you agree.”

Bangchui refuses to leave?

Qiu Bailin was so angry that his lungs almost exploded. He reluctantly paid the money without even asking the reason, just to make Jia Rong go back quickly. If Jia Rong really stayed in Qiu’s house, the people outside the house who heard the wrong news before would probably spread the news to the Duke’s house right away?

But there’s nothing I can do with this hammer.

Qiu Bailin became even more depressed, but he still had to put on a smile. He asked, “What does Commander Rong want to do?”

Jia Rong said, “Today we will become sworn brothers in the hall of my elder brother’s house. My elder brother is much older than me, so we will not talk about living and dying together, but only seek to share wealth and honor.”

What a shameless idiot!

Chapter 89: Nephew Qiu, aren’t you going to see your uncle off?

So shameless!

What do you mean you can’t live and die together just because you are older? Is that human language? Your father will never become your brother with a different surname!

Before Qiu Bailin could react, Qiu Jiheng’s face became excited.

“Brother Qiu?”

Seeing that Qiu Bailin’s reaction time seemed to be slower than others, Jia Rong could not help but call out again. “Brother, you don’t really look down on me, do you? This… I am really embarrassed today.”

As he spoke, he looked around the front yard of Qiu Duwei’s mansion, found a beam, and said sadly: “Today, I have lost all my face in Qiu’s mansion. I really have no face to live in this world. Brother Qiu, let’s be sworn brothers when something happens.”

Damn it, why is it so hard to find a sworn brother?!

What a bad start! Now that I’m here today, I have to acknowledge this sworn brother.

Jia Rong gritted his teeth, not believing that Qiu Bailin would dare to let him have any accident in Qiu’s house. Suddenly, his face was filled with grief and anger, as if he had suffered a great humiliation. He lifted up his long sleeves with one hand and made a gesture to crash into the beams of Qiu’s house.

Qiu Bailin finally reacted. Seeing this scene, his heart almost stopped. He hurriedly stopped Jia Rong and said anxiously: “Don’t worry, Captain Rong. I will recognize you as my brother.”

“Really?” Jia Rong’s eyebrows lit up immediately, and he called out in a hurry, “Nephew Qiu, please bring some incense to your uncle. Your uncle wants to become your father’s sworn brother.”

Qiu Jiheng had just been happy to see Jia Rong get hit to death, but when he saw this scene and heard these words, he felt worse than having a fly in his mouth.

nausea!

Extremely disgusting.

Qiu Jiheng watched his father and Jia Rong worshipping in front of the incense table in the Qiu residence with disgust. The feeling was indescribable. The person he wanted to kill just a moment ago has now become his sworn uncle?

The sworn brotherhood words were also ridiculous, with only one sentence: “Sharing wealth and honor together.”

Qiu Jiheng suppressed his nausea and served tea to the two of them, thinking that he could finally get rid of this idiot!

But Jia Rong just happened to bring up a lot of things. He asked about the palace system and what the Dragon Guard should pay attention to while on duty.

After an unknown amount of time, the father and son of the enemy were like ants on a hot pan, and finally they let out a long sigh of relief.

The mallet is leaving!

Jia Rong turned around and saw that the words above Qiu Bailin’s head had actually turned into [Level 5 Treasure Chest]. He felt so relieved.

I guessed that he could be promoted. When he married Qin Keqing, even Qin Zhong was promoted three levels.

It seems like we will have acquaintances all over the world in the future!

He called out excitedly, “Nephew Qiu, aren’t you going to see your uncle off?”

Qiu Jiheng had never felt such humiliation before. He was even more frustrated than when he was being dragged down when hunting in Tiewang Mountain last time. Gritting his teeth, he looked back at his father, who was livid, and said helplessly, “My nephew is here to escort my second uncle.”

Jump and jump, upgrade and upgrade.

Qiu Jiheng’s treasure chest has also been upgraded to a higher level!

Jia Rong looked at the level 2 treasure chest above Qiu Jiheng’s head, and his mouth was almost stretched to his neck. “My dear nephew, the incident at Tiewang Mountain last time was really an accident. I want to apologize to you. From now on, if anyone dares to bully you, just say my name.”

Qiu Jiheng almost wanted to cry. How embarrassing!

After finally sending Jia Rong out of the Qiu Mansion, he was about to breathe a sigh of relief.

Jia Rong suddenly turned around and waved, shouting, “Nephew Jiheng, you must take good care of my elder brother. Tomorrow, Second Uncle will visit you again.”

Qiu Jiheng was stunned for a moment, looking at the group of onlookers outside the mansion who were looking at him, and he almost wanted to vomit blood.

Outside of Commandant Qiu’s mansion, the crowd who had been waiting to watch the excitement were also dumbfounded.

“Didn’t you say that Ning Mansion’s stickman was beaten by the servants of Captain Qiu’s family? I don’t understand what happened.”

“We can’t understand the affairs of their wealthy family. There must be something fishy going on.”

“What could be the trick? From what I can see, it’s nothing more than reaching some consensus.”

“Oh? What do you think, sir?”

“Sir, I don’t deserve it. I’ve only studied for a few years and have come into contact with a few officials. I know what kind of people they are. As the saying goes, the word ‘official’ has two mouths. No matter what the matter is, as long as the officials benefit from it, no matter how big the grudge is, they will forget it.”

“What you said is very true, very true!”

Among the people listening to the excitement, there were a few people from other prefectures who were here to inquire about the news. They looked at each other, not understanding what had happened. They only watched Master Xiao Rong come out of Captain Qiu’s house in triumph, and it was completely hard to tell that he had been bullied.

“As long as Master Xiaorong is alright, we can go back. Otherwise, those guys might really break down the gate of Qiu’s mansion if they start making trouble.”

When the enemy’s servant in the crowd heard this, he was almost frightened to death.

The most difficult people to offend in Shenjing City are those princes and sons of noble families who have no official positions or titles. These people either have a prince or a brother who has inherited a title. If they get naughty, they might even smash the gate of Qiu Mansion.

In the restaurant not far away across the street, a brother and sister looked at the scene in front of Qiu’s house. The brother couldn’t help but say, “Are you relieved now? Bangchui is as smart as a monkey now. Who can bully him?”

The tall girl nodded and said, “It’s OK if you’re fine. I’ll dismantle the official pavilion cannon outside Qiu’s house later.”

The elder brother was horrified and asked, “You brought the Guanting cannon into the city?”

The younger sister asked in confusion: “Is it difficult for me to make a Guanting cannon from the previous dynasty to develop a new type of gunpowder in accordance with the imperial order?”

Is this a difficult question?

The elder brother asked in panic, “Where is the Guanting cannon buried? If someone accidentally triggers it, won’t it kill innocent people?”

The younger sister said calmly: “There are people guarding the corner of the enemy’s wall, so it won’t explode easily.”

The elder brother was already trembling: “Did you dig up the enemy’s wall?”

The younger sister said disdainfully: “How stupid! How can you blow down the wall without poaching? Don’t worry, that’s a remote corner, no one usually goes there.”

The elder brother said quickly, “Feng Ziying has gone to look for the hammer. Take me to dismantle the cannon.”

The younger sister looked at the figure on the street again reluctantly, and then followed her brother downstairs.

On the avenue in front of the enemy’s house in South City, Feng Ziying took Jia Rong aside and asked him questions. He was relieved when he learned the truth.

“Wait, Rong Ge’er and Captain Qiu are sworn brothers?”

“Yes! From now on, Commander Qiu will be my sworn brother to Fugui.” Jia Rong smiled brightly. “Why do you look like that, uncle?”

Feng Ziying couldn’t understand it for a long time, and was so anxious that he felt uncomfortable all over. After a while, he sighed and said, “It’s up to you!”

It’s no use talking to a fool!

A stick is still a stick after all.

The way a fool does things is always confusing.

The news that Jia Rong and Captain Qiu had become sworn brothers soon spread to various mansions through various channels, and the reactions of the people in each mansion were different.

The young masters were either confused or shouting with excitement because of their disagreements with Qiu Jiheng.

“From now on, Qiu Jiheng will have to call us ‘Grandpa’ whenever he sees us, right?” This group of dandies have already imagined how Qiu Jiheng would be unable to raise his head in front of them.

The masters of each mansion were thinking: Is Jia Rong just beating people with a stick, or is Jia Rong planning something?

In Rongguo Mansion, Jia Zheng was overjoyed when he heard this. He said happily, “We now have a brother who is looking for a career in politics and economy. It’s good to be sworn brothers. Commander Qiu is on duty in the palace, and Rong’er will also be on duty in the palace in the future. Rong’er will have someone to take care of her in the palace in the future!”

Jia Zheng was happy for a while, but then his face turned sad again. He sighed, “Yucun went to the capital on official business. He came to visit yesterday and said he wanted to see Baoyu. But Baoyu avoided me. This wicked boy doesn’t understand official career and economics at all.”

Baoyu frowned and said, “Why is there a sudden cold wind on such a hot day?!”

Chapter 90: The Imperial Edict Arrives

The people from Qiu Mansion and Chen Family Village had been thrown out, and the owner of Chen Village was severely beaten with a stick, leaving a bloody mess.

The serious captain Qiu Bailin had a face as black as coal. He had been sitting in the hall for half an hour without moving a muscle.

No one knew what he was thinking.

The unfriendly look in his eyes made no one dare to talk to him.

Qiu Jiheng was very obedient today and did not go out. He hid in his room, cursing a certain idiot all the time. He was very distressed, how would he face his former friends in the future, and how would he face the dandies sent by the Jia family.
