Young master, why not become a corpse immortal?

Chapter 149 Shrew
After attending the banquet yesterday, nothing major has happened in the next two days.

He and Liang Huashan agreed that Xiaoshan Shenxu would go to Liang Huashan's residence to practice painting every two days.

Liang Huashan always boasted about the wonders of his paintings, but Xiaoshan Shen remained uninterested, finding the painter, who looked very young but had an old voice, rather pitiful.

Lin Jiang did not go looking for Sun Zhong for the time being.

Since the Ministry of Justice official was still recovering from his injuries and the contract had not been signed, Lin Jiang naturally had no excuse to go directly to Sun Zhong.

He wasn't in a hurry.

Tiepizi said that Sun Zhong is still stiff and unable to get out of bed, barely managing to handle affairs, and is in a state of half-dead.

Let him rest and recuperate some more.

As evening fell, Chef Song drifted into the courtyard humming a tune, her cleaver jingling above her head as she deftly prepared three meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and a fresh fish and tofu soup.

In the past two days, she noticed that Lin Jiang and Gong Xuan had an amazing appetite, so she increased the amount of rice and noodles she prepared by 20%.

Joining the meal this time was a little ginseng. Although the little guy didn't eat much, he tried every dish and would describe his feelings in strange ways after eating them.

"This is tingly, this is hot, this is so crispy, and it's crispy yet juicy."

The little ginseng couldn't eat much, so it sat down and patted its belly.

The way Little Ginseng eats is very similar to how she eats demon pills. After each meal, some Qi will overflow around her body. She will digest about 30-40% of the food, and the rest will disperse in all directions.

While they ate, Cook Song floated in the sky. She lay flat on the straw mat like a little girl, her legs sticking back, her hands on her face, and she chuckled.

Even the cleaver on his head was shaking.

She loves watching people wolf down their food, especially when they're eating the dishes she's made.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Chef Song began to clean up the kitchen utensils.

"Are you gentlemen all businessmen?" Chef Song asked suddenly, holding the kitchen utensils with talismans attached.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiang said, "My family does indeed have some business dealings. How did Miss Song notice?"

“Ordinary families can’t afford meat every meal,” Cook Song said, setting down her cooking utensils and counting on her fingers. “They have pork, mutton, chicken, and fish in rotation, and every now and then they can get some beef and mutton from the pawnshop. Your family must be doing big business.”

The capital city is different from other places; there are pawnshops here that sell beef and mutton, and it's not illegal.

"It's a small business, just enough to make ends meet."

Seemingly because she had guessed Lin Jiang's family background correctly, Chef Song revealed a smug smile again.

She is indeed not very old, and still has the heart of a child. Like solving riddles, she is very happy when she guesses them correctly.

Lin Jiang then asked:

"Miss Song."

"Ok?"

"Did you see Liu Ning when you were in that house before?"

"Madam Liu?!"

Upon hearing this name, Chef Song's face turned deathly pale.

Lin Jiang could even see the translucent figure of Chef Song flickering between light and shadow.

"I...I...she always brings a lot of people, they smash things everywhere, and they're always making a scene..."

Cook Song kept her head down, barely daring to look Lin Jiang in the eye.

Lin Jiang could also tell that Chef Song was terrified.

Clearly, that Mrs. Liu left a rather "deep" impression on her.

"I plan to buy that house next."

Lin Jiang suddenly spoke again.

"Eh?"

The cook, who was still feeling awkward, was slightly taken aback:
"The house? Which house?"

The apartment you live in now.

“Really?!”

"But it cost quite a bit of money."

A clear look of joy appeared on Chef Song's face.

Lin Jiang could tell that Chef Song seemed to be trying to suppress her excitement, but the little girl spun around in the air a few more times, overjoyed beyond words.

"From now on, Master will truly be my Master."

"You should just call me Young Master. The word 'Master' sounds a bit strange," Lin Jiang said. "I feel like I'm still quite young."

"Okay, son."

Suddenly, Chef Song gripped the corner of her apron, a look of considerable tension on her face.
"But if the young master buys that house, Madam Liu will definitely cause a scene! She's incredibly fierce!"

"How fierce can he be?"

"She'll be accompanied by a huge number of henchmen!" Cook Song made a gesticulating gesture: "She'll be screaming while ordering her men to smash things; her voice is almost as loud as a leading actress in a theatrical troupe."

Lin Jiang immediately pictured a woman jumping and cursing while lifting her skirt, followed by a group of snarling black figures.

"It does sound very fierce."

"Yes," Cook Song said, shrinking her neck. "I hope I won't cause you any trouble."

"It's alright," Lin Jiang laughed. "I'm just buying a house, why are you giving me any trouble?"

……

Two more days passed, and nothing much happened for the time being.

Lin Jiang finally managed to find some time to stroll around the capital.

On the first day, Chen Dajiang and Gongxuan followed him around. On the second day, Chen Dajiang went to prepare the dishes and did not come along. On the third day, Gongxuan ate too much of the cook's delicious feast and drank several more cups of wine. He was unable to get up during the day, so Lin Jiang did not wake him.

It just so happens that I need to deliver the ginseng to the Liang residence that day, so it's good to go alone.

The door hinges creaked open, but suddenly a dense crowd of people blocked the alley entrance.

Little Ginseng couldn't help but peek out from Lin Jiang's sleeve. She glanced at the group of people in front of her and sighed:
"Wow, there are so many people."

Lin Jiang glanced around and saw that there were indeed quite a few people.

A woman, leading a group of men. Lin Jiang felt he had seen the face of the woman in the lead before; she had a puffy face, a broad forehead like a door panel, and a pointed, protruding chin.

They just didn't look like they would be easy to deal with.

but……

Who is this person?
"Lin Jiang, Lin Jiang, what are they here for?" Xiao Shanshen asked.

Lin Jiang shook his head: "I don't know, I've never seen them."

"Oh, then they must have come to the wrong place."

"I think they must have found the wrong person."

Lin Jiang and Xiao Shanshen were chatting away, and the woman in front of them, feeling ignored, became even more furious.
"Are you Zhu Da?"

"Am I Zhu Da?" Lin Jiang answered the question with a question.

The woman, who had been so aggressive, was stunned after hearing this. "You...you're not Zhu Da?"

“My surname isn’t Zhu.” Lin Jiang shook his head very sincerely.

He is not actually surnamed Zhu.

"Do you know where Zhu Da is?" The woman frowned.

"That Zhu Da?"

“Zhu Da bought that house.” The woman pointed to the large house next to the street: “I asked the real estate agent, and he said Zhu Da lives right next to this house.”

"Oh, this house." Lin Jiang glanced at the woman. "Are you Liu Ning?"

"You know me?" The woman raised an eyebrow and nodded. "Yes, you should know me. Everyone in the capital should know me!"

As she said this, the woman also puffed out her chest.

very proud.

"Yes, I've heard a lot about you." Lin Jiang sighed, "If you're talking about Zhu Da who bought this house, then I am that Zhu Da."

After listening to Lin Jiang's words, Liu Ning clearly fell into a moment of thought.

Her brain seemed a little overloaded.

After thinking and pondering for most of the day, Liu Ning suddenly flew into a rage!
"You're making fun of me?!"

"Actually, I didn't mean that," Lin Jiang said helplessly.

He is indeed not Zhu Da, but Lin Jiang.

"That's definitely what you meant!" Liu Ning waved her hand dismissively. "Who in the capital doesn't know what's going on with this house! Just because you helped that deadbeat a little bit, you think you can buy a house with such a small amount of money? Dream on!"

"I saved his life, so that shouldn't be considered a small favor, right?" Lin Jiang scratched his head and asked.

Liu Ning, clearly unable to win an argument with Lin Jiang, suddenly let out a shrill whistle like a teapot boiling over:
"I'm telling you, you're not allowed to buy this house!"

"Huh?" Lin Jiang scratched his head: "Then go back and talk to the doctor. If you two don't want to sell your property, we can discuss it. I haven't signed the deed yet."

Liu Ning's face turned even redder, and she was practically steaming from the top of her head.

It's definitely not out of embarrassment, it's probably out of anger.

Lin Jiang didn't quite understand; he felt like he was just trying to reason with people normally.

"Beat him up!"

Whether she was carried away or not, Liu Ning actually waved her hand and shouted.

The servants behind her, who were inflating themselves, looked at each other in bewilderment.

The one who seemed to be the leader cautiously moved closer to Liu Ning:

"Madam, after all, they saved the master, and it seems they are an outsider hired by the Dali Temple!"

Are you asking us to go up?
Can we win?

None of the outside hires from the Dali Temple are without their strength; has his wife lost her mind from causing trouble all this time?

Unfortunately, Madam Liu was completely unaware of her subordinates' intentions.

The Dali Temple hired someone from outside?
Of course she knew.

Those outlaws who came to the capital would occasionally go to the Dali Temple to try and get an external position there.

They usually have some skills.

But how much ability can he possibly have?

Most external hires are lucky to reach the fourth level, maybe even the fifth!
The Fifth Heaven is nothing! It's not like it's a pointless battle!
Her father's three fifth-level instructors are just sitting around doing nothing!

There's also a sixth level!
Why be afraid of him!

In her mind, the so-called "external hires" of the Dali Temple were no different from her own subordinates.

A third-rank official is truly powerful!
"It's better to raise dogs than to raise you!"

These men instantly transformed into donkeys with their rear ends poked by fire tongs, shuffling and inching their way toward Lin Jiang.

Lin Jiang blinked twice.

That's pretty much what everyone else said.

Arrogant to the point of being foolish.

Seeing the group of servants walking towards him with expressions of resignation, Lin Jiang couldn't help but start rubbing his hands together.

"Really want to fight?"

"We're going to fight!"

"You'll definitely regret it."

Madam Liu pointed at Lin Jiang: "Hit him!"

Lin Jiang nodded: "Okay."

He walked right up to Liu Ning and slapped her with very little force.

He gave Liu Ning two or three spins.

Lin Jiang looked at Liu Ning, who was spitting out her teeth on the ground, and sighed:
"Killing people is not easy in the capital, so I'll just slap you instead."
