Chapter 77 Qin Yulin Wins

"My lord, I have many injuries, all from being wrongly accused. Now that the matter has been investigated, how should my compensation be calculated?"

"I was lucky, otherwise I would have been mistaken for a horse thief and died on the road."

Qin Yulin glanced at Li Qingyun. He wouldn't give up the advantage he had risked his life for, as it concerned Yu Bao's life.

Li Qingyun looked at Su Chang'an and felt that he was really speechless. He didn't even give him a glance. What was he supposed to do?

So many people are watching him closely, waiting for him to give a result.

Su Chang'an finally looked at Qin Yulin, his eyes filled with murderous intent. He asked coldly, "How do you want me to compensate you?"

"Two hundred taels. This humble subject demands two hundred taels of compensation from Your Excellency. Otherwise, I will have no choice but to continue petitioning. I almost lost my life today due to this injustice. Today, I am the only one involved. If I were on the battlefield one day, would Your Excellency wrongly accuse a soldier without any regard for the facts? If others do not have my luck, they will die unjustly with nowhere to seek justice."

"Human life is no child's play. I hope this will serve as a warning to you, my lord. Two hundred taels is a lot of money, enough for you to remember for a lifetime."

Qin Yulin looked at Su Chang'an and said firmly.

Before Su Chang'an could even disagree after he finished speaking, countless people raised their hands and shouted.

"Pay back! Pay back!"

Everyone has a desire to overcome power, even if it's just for a moment.

Su Chang'an frowned. He didn't want to pay compensation, but after calming down, he realized that the situation was very unfavorable to him. Qin Yulin's words were laced with malice and would not do him any good in the future.

The common people thought it was a terrible thing that he was such a person. These rumors spread, and no one cared whether they were true or false. His soldiers only knew how to be wary of him.

"Silence! Silence!"

Li Qingyun slammed the gavel and shouted loudly.

But the excited people didn't care; they only believed what they saw.

Qin Yulin's clothes were covered in blood; the injustices he suffered were real.

Su Chang'an, unable to even identify the horse, nearly lost a man's life.

"I am willing to pay compensation."

Su Chang'an spoke through gritted teeth, staring at Qin Yulin as if he wanted to stab him to death.

Li Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that the matter was resolved. As for the compensation from Su Chang'an, there was nothing he could do. The warhorse most likely belonged to Su Chang'an, but the warhorse didn't recognize him. How could anyone favor him?

"This matter is also a misunderstanding. Lord Su is honest and fair. All of this is due to concern. Since Lord Su is willing to make compensation, then this case is closed. Neither of you have any objections."

Li Qingyun glanced at Su Chang'an, then at Qin Yulin.

Su Chang'an nodded indifferently.

Qin Yulin spoke again, saying, "Now that it has been confirmed that the horse belongs to my family, I beg Your Excellency to allow us to pass through the pass. My family member is seriously ill, and I need to go to Wuzhou to buy good medicine. I also hope that my horse and I will not be mistaken for each other again in the future."

Qin Yulin was eager to go to Wuzhou to buy medicine, and to prevent being harassed again, he brought the matter out into the open.

Su Chang'an knew his intention, and he said in a deep voice: "It's best to clarify any misunderstandings in time."

“The misunderstanding needs to be cleared up. If we keep going back and forth for several hours, the medicine for saving lives will not be able to withstand the delay. I would like to ask you, sir, to write the character ‘Qin’ on my horse. In this way, even if it is similar to the Marquis’s warhorse, others can distinguish the two by the character ‘Qin’. This way, the Marquis can continue to search for his beloved horse, and no innocent person will be wronged.”

Qin Yulin could easily see through Su Chang'an's intentions. He did all this to stop him from leaving the border to buy medicine for his child. So, unless this matter was resolved thoroughly, he and his horse would only be caught again and again.

He can't be this lucky every time, and these people can't always stand by his side.

Therefore, this matter must be resolved thoroughly today to prevent future problems.

If Su Chang'an were to remain Marquis Anping for even a day, the medicine Yu Bao needed would be unavailable in Liuzhou City.

Taking medication is a long-term process, and this needs to be addressed properly this time.

Qin Yulin's request is not excessive.

Li Qingyun glanced at Su Chang'an, who remained silent in shock. Li Qingyun then coughed lightly.

Su Chang'an snapped out of his daze, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "What you said makes sense."

"Come, come, let me write something for this horse."

Li Qingyun immediately had someone prepare paint and used white paint to write the character 'Qin' on the horse's belly.

"Our Marquis loves and respects the people, and he fights in battles to protect the safety of the common people."

Li Qingyun salvaged Su Chang'an's reputation.

Qin Yulin remained silent.

Su Chang'an had a sour expression and looked like someone who was not to be trifled with.

He pulled out two hundred taels of silver, his eyes practically murderous.

Qin Yulin accepted the silver notes and the case closure document, then led his horse away, limping.

He went directly to the official media.

He's managed to resolve things smoothly on his end, but I wonder how things are going with his father and sister.

——

Qin Tianhai led the Qin family directly to the official matchmaker's office.

Sending the judgment to Li Siheng also made their stance clear.

Qin remained calm.

After learning what had happened, the official media immediately summoned Li Siheng.

Li Siheng was called in with a heavy heart. He didn't know why, but his back was very sore when he got home. When he thought about what had just happened, he worried that bad luck had afflicted him because he had run too slowly.

He hadn't been lying down for long when the official media came looking for him. Li Siheng didn't dare not go. On the way, he heard that Qin Shi was actually willing to marry him. Instead of feeling happy, he broke out in a cold sweat.

"You're a lucky guy. That Qin woman is pretty and looks hardworking and capable. Once you two have a good talk and settle things, you can take her back with you."

The matchmaker glanced at Li Siheng and said calmly.

To be honest, Li Siheng is not a good match for Qin Shi, but Qin Shi is just unlucky.

Li Siheng's wife, Wu, died after eating Qin's noodles. Others were fine after eating them, but she was the one who got poisoned.

Li Siheng must have been attracted to Qin's skills and appearance, so he refused compensation and insisted on Qin herself. Since the law was in place, Qin had no choice but to give herself to Li Siheng.

The matchmaker could only sigh, "A beautiful flower stuck in cow dung."

When Li Siheng arrived at the gate of the official media, he was covered in sweat and looked unwell.

The matchmaker frowned as soon as she saw you: "Your health is a bit poor."

He looks so fat and big-eared, how come he's so weak!

Li Si wiped the sweat from his face. He was already having second thoughts. He tentatively said, "I have no objection, but my father-in-law doesn't like me. Can I go home and wait?"

“Sure, why not? The Qin father and daughter have both agreed. There’s only one condition: the Qin family must bring their young daughter. Her young daughter looks sickly, so you’ll have to take on the responsibility of raising her. If you agree, go home and wait. Our official matchmaker will send your wife to your home in a sedan chair.” The matchmaker said without even thinking.
