There is only one day left before the store opens, so it is impossible to move out and re-rent.
Ye Annian carefully recalled the lease deed at home and determined that there was no writing on the back of the page. As for the contract that Zhou Zaiqian just showed him, I'm afraid that the contract not to sublease or change hands was added later.
"Boss Zhou," Jiang Zhu walked to Ye Anian and looked at Zhou Zaiqian, "there is a lease here, and we are not unreasonable people. But Wen Heng hasn't arrived yet. I'm afraid this matter still needs all three parties to be present. Let's discuss and come up with a result."
"No, no, no, this is a matter between us." Zhou Zaiqian looked at the two of them impatiently, "The pawn shop is very busy, and I don't have much patience to waste time with you here."
"In a word, do you move it yourself, or should I send someone to help you?"
"The shop was just packed up today, and it won't take a while to move it." Ye Anyian looked at him coldly, "Tomorrow night. Before tomorrow night, we will clear out everything in this shop."
Zhou Zaiqian sneered: "Brother Nian, I think you didn't understand me at all. Not tomorrow night, not tonight, but now!"
"Do it!"
"yes!"
The thugs with sticks in their hands responded, and two people immediately rushed forward to grab Granny Qian and Qing Niang.
Ye Anyian stood in front of the two of them: "Stop it! We will move it ourselves."
He originally wanted to wait for Wen Heng to bring someone here, but now he could only take a step back.
Asking Qing Niang to take Granny Qian away, Ye Anyian stepped forward to open the door of the shop, went in with Jiang Zhu, and asked Yu Hu and Zhao Da to guard the door.
The colorful Rubik's cubes on the shelf, large and small wooden frogs, wooden tops, as well as Luban Suo and Yan Jitu, were all placed by him and Jiang Zhu in the morning, but now they have to be put away one by one.
The tables, chairs, benches, and potted flower ornaments in the shop were all arranged by the two of them together. Ye Anyian glanced at the lanterns hanging on the shelves, and his mood was so calm that it was scary.
He reached out to take the lantern, and his sleeves slipped down, revealing his fair and slender wrists. Jiang Zhu reached out to hold them.
"An Nian, if you..."
Before he finished speaking, there were only two muffled sounds of "bang" and "bang".
Yu Hu and Zhao Da, who were guarding the door of the shop, were kicked to the ground, and Zhou Zaiqian walked in with a group of thugs and big stabs.
"What do you mean Zhou Zaixian?!" Ye Anyian was completely angry.
"It's not interesting. How slow are you two to clean up? I'll have someone come and help you."
Seeing a table and chairs placed in the corner, Zhou Zaiqian walked over and sat down. He put his feet up on the meticulous square table covered with tablecloth. With a swing of his shoe, he kicked the flowerpot on the table directly to the ground.
--Snapped!
The blooming red bunches fell to the ground and smashed to pieces, and the soil was scattered all over the ground.
"They have to be taken away anyway." Zhou Zaiqian looked at Ye Anyian provocatively, "Brother Nian, do you mind?"
"You two don't have to think about stalling for time. Mr. Wen has something to do these days and is out of town. That idiot Wen Heng has also been detained by someone I sent. You can't save this shop today."
Ye Anian's hands hanging by his sides were clenched tightly into fists. He looked at Zhou Zaiqian intently, his voice trembling slightly: "I don't have any grudge against you, right? What good will it do to you if you do this?"
"It's no good," Zhou Zaiqian picked his ears, "I'm just doing things according to the lease."
He was sure, but Ye Anyian didn't believe it. The shop has been rented for such a long time, and Zhou Zaiqian didn't come early or late. He came two days before he was going to open. There was definitely something wrong with him.
Seeing that the thugs were about to tear down the shelves they had confiscated, Jiang Zhu directly kicked the thugs away.
Zhou Zaiqian looked stern: "It seems that Doctor Jiang is unwilling to cooperate with me. Come here! Drag him out!"
Before he finished speaking, thugs surrounded him. Ye Anian subconsciously grabbed Jiang Zhu's hand, ready to protect him.
But at this moment, I suddenly heard a loud male voice coming from the door: "Everyone, stop it!"
Ye Annian frowned, looked up, and saw a middle-aged man in rich clothes and two mustaches walking in from the door with two servants.
When Zhou Zaiqian saw the man, he immediately put his feet away and stood up from the chair: "Fang...Fang County Magistrate?"
"The common people have seen Fang Zhixian!"
As soon as he saluted, the thugs also retreated and saluted together.
Ye Annian and Jiang Zhu stood still. They both understood at this moment that today's farce was probably caused by Zhou Zaiqian and Fang Zhixian.
"What are you doing?!" Fang Jinyuan looked very angry, "You dare to smash up other people's shops in broad daylight? Is there any way to do this!"
"Sir, sir, please calm down!" Zhou Zaiqian knelt down on the ground and repeatedly cried out, "This shop was rented to them by a villain! This, this is a shop owned by a villain!"
"It's rented to them, and you bring people to destroy it. How is that reasonable?"
Fang Jinyuan spoke sternly, but his eyes kept glancing at Ye Anyian. He was hoping that Ye Anyian would take the initiative to tell him what happened.
But Ye Anyian had already guessed the cause and effect of this incident, so he just stood there and watched the two people act without saying a word.
Fang Zhixian waited for a while, but when Ye Anyian didn't speak, he had to turn his attention back to Zhou Zaiqian.
"That's it, Mr. Fang..."
Zhou Zaiqian understood what had happened and told him exactly what had happened before, and took out the lease.
The servant next to Fang Jinyuan immediately stepped forward to take it and presented it to him.
"Um..."
Fang Jinyuan looked at it pretendingly for a while, then said with a dark face: "This is your overlord clause!"
"This lease is invalid!" He said, and he tore the lease to pieces. He looked at Ye Anian with some flattery and said, "This... this little brother, there is an official responsible for this matter." Don't be afraid if I make the decision for you, they won't dare to trouble you again."
The look on Ye Anian's face was still cold and indifferent, and he only said politely: "Thank you, Magistrate Fang."
"Hey, thank you." Fang Jinyuan was very pleased and waved his hand, "As the magistrate of the county, I have to make decisions for the people. If you have any difficulties, please come to me at any time. I will support you!"
Looking at his face, Ye Anyian felt disgusted and didn't say anything.
Fang Jinyuan stood like this for a while, feeling a little embarrassed. Fortunately, a servant next to him suddenly came closer and whispered something in his ear.
His eyes immediately lit up and he said, "That's it! So you are the young man who won the first prize at the carving banquet on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival!"
"You...your name is Ye Anyian, right? Tsk tsk, you are so beautiful and have a pair of skillful hands, you are really..."
"County Fang, are you going too far?" Fang Jinyuan was interrupted by Jiang Zhu before he could finish his words.
Jiang Zhu took a step forward and blocked Ye Annian behind him, blocking Fang Jinyuan's sight: "Fangzhi County, Annian is my husband, do you think this is inappropriate?"
"Ah...cough," Fang Jinyuan choked and coughed awkwardly, but quickly laughed, "You're right, I made a mistake."
"It's just that when I saw Brother Ye's carving work yesterday, I admired him very much. I even invited him to a banquet, but he didn't do it. I didn't expect that we bumped into him today. It's really fate."
"Since today is such a coincidence, how about we go to Queden Tower and have a drink?"
"No need." Ye Anian refused simply, and his voice was cold and emotionless, "Thank you to Fang Zhixian for today's matter. But as you can see, the shop is like this, and we still have something to clean up."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and entered the inner room.
Jiang Zhu raised the corners of his mouth with a half-smile, and made a "please" gesture to Fang Jinyuan: "County Fang, please go slowly without seeing me off."
The smile on Fang Jinyuan's face froze, and veins popped out in the hands hanging in his sleeves.
He forced a smile and said, "Okay. Then you can take care of yourself and I won't disturb you."
After saying that, he turned around and left with his two servants.
Seeing him leaving, Zhou Zaiqian quickly got up from the ground and left with the gang of thugs.
Jiang Zhu glanced at the messy shop, asked Yu Hu and Zhao Da to clean it up, and then turned around and went into the inner room.
Ye Annian was sitting quietly on the wooden bed in the back room. When he heard the footsteps, he raised his head and glanced at Jiang Zhu.
Jiang Zhu sat down next to him, stretched out his hand and held it in his palm.
Ye Anyian's hands were cold and his palms were a little damp, so Jiang Zhu covered them with his own hands.
"I just took a look. There isn't much damage to the shop. I'll find someone to repair it tomorrow. It can open as usual the day after tomorrow."
Ye Annian didn't speak, and his slightly curled eyelashes drooped quietly.
"Nian Nian, it's getting late. Let's settle down Yu Hu and go back, shall we?"
Ye Anyian still didn't speak, but suddenly he covered his mouth and retched several times, and his face instantly turned pale.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Zhu patted his back gently.
After a while, Ye Anian shook his head, but because of his reaction just now, the corners of his eyes were a little red, and the pregnancy mole at the end of his eyes became brighter.
Jiang Zhu held his waist, hugged him into her arms, and reached out to check his pulse.
The pulse is very stable, and it is not a happy pulse.
Seeing Jiang Zhu looking at him doubtfully, Ye Anyian slowly said: "Fang Jinyuan."
"I just think he's disgusting."
The way Fang Jinyuan looked at him and what he said just now made him feel physically nauseous.
"It's okay." Jiang Zhu patted his back, "Neither Zhou Zaigan nor Fang Jinyuan will come to trouble us again in the future."
Ye Annian rested his chin on Jiang Zhu's shoulder and closed his eyes: "Yeah."
He just thought Jiang Zhu was comforting him, rested for a while, and then broke away.
"I have to clean up the inner room for Yu Hu first. I haven't prepared any bedding or anything. Let's go to the cloth village."
He was about to get up, but Jiang Zhu held him back: "You rest, I'll go."
Ye Anyian nodded and did not refuse.
Jiang Zhu got up and went out. He went next door and asked Granny Qian for a bowl of warm water, brought it to Ye Anyian, and asked Granny Qian to help take care of it before leaving.
…
On the other side, Fang Jinyuan kicked Zhou Zaiqian as soon as he came out of West Street.
Zhou Zaiqian was kicked and staggered, and he quickly knelt on the ground: "Lord Fang, please calm down!"
"Useless thing!" Fang Jinyuan was trembling with anger, "Didn't I just tell you what you wanted? Are you serious about it?"
He thought that Ye Anian didn't have a good look on him just now, and it must be because his newly renovated shop was smashed by Zhou Zaiqian and others, so he took out his anger on Zhou Zaiqian.
"Master Fang!" Zhou Zaiqian felt aggrieved, but did not dare to complain. He argued, "This, a villain dare not be untrue!"
"Think about it, if Ye Annian knew about this that we were acting together, he would probably completely piss you off, sir. The shop is the villain's own, and it is so well-maintained that the villain would feel bad if he smashed it! "
After hearing what he said, Zhou Zaiqian's complexion improved a little.
"Then what should we do now? I helped him so much today, but he didn't even give me a smile!"
"This..." Zhou Zaiqian looked embarrassed.
How could he know this? He just cooperates with Fang Jinyuan and does whatever he is asked to do. He is not good at making suggestions.
Fortunately, Fang Jinyuan didn't count on him. He shook his sleeves angrily and said, "Forget it, you can go back first."
"Yes. If Mr. Fang needs me to do anything, please give me your instructions at any time." Zhou Zaigan said.
The Fang Magistrate had promised him that if he could get Ye Anyian, he would let his Zhou Ji Pawnshop go to Anxing County.
You know, Anxing County is much bigger than Tianshui Town. If you can open a pawnshop in Anxing County, the profit will be several times higher than in Tianshui Town.
After sending Zhou Zaiqian away, Fang Jinyuan felt irritated and went straight to Qedeng Tower.
Ye Ansong and Liu Zhuo are both in Qedenglou, and he urgently needs Liu Zhuo to come up with new ideas for him.
But as soon as he turned a corner, there was a sudden sound of strong wind breaking through the air.
"Sir, be careful!"
--when!
A sound of metal colliding suddenly sounded, and the government servant in casual clothes next to Fang Jinyuan suddenly looked in pain and hugged his arm.
The officer's arm holding the knife was bleeding profusely. The knife had fallen to the ground, and a deep cut to the bone appeared on his forearm.
Fang Jinyuan was shocked. If the officer hadn't blocked him just now, the gash would have appeared on his neck now.
He patted his chest in fear, and his back was soaked with cold sweat. Looking around, there was no suspicious figure.
Fang Jinyuan only felt weak under his feet. He didn't know what he had stepped on. He stumbled and was supported by another Yamen servant.
He took a step back and saw a broken tile covered in blood lying on the ground.
Obviously, it was this thing that had just cut the yamen servant.
Fang Jinyuan stared at the tiles on the ground with a sinister look in his eyes: "What I'm doing this week is really a bit brave."
In the alley that was only separated from Fang Jinyuan by a wall, Zi Mo stopped Jiang Zhu in panic.
"Master, master... calm down!"
He has been with Jiang Zhu for nine years, and this is the first time he has seen his master so impulsive.
"That Fang Jinyuan is very hateful, but we can't kill anyone!"
"Huh..." Jiang Zhu took a deep breath and gently closed his eyes. When he opened them again, the killing intent in his eyes was gone.
He curled his lips, raised a smile and said, "What are you talking about? Wouldn't it be too easy for him to die like this?"
