Chapter 365 You Have Harmed My Master So Much
"What? Are you all here to threaten me?" Wang Duanfang was angry.
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if County Magistrate Wang is reluctant to spit it out. We will report it to the higher authorities and see what the court and the emperor decide!"
Su Ying stood up and brushed off the non-existent dust on her official robe.
"Grandpa, have you sorted out the list of compensation and indemnity? Give a copy to County Magistrate Wang so he can have an idea of what's due! We'll report the full amount then!"
"It's cleaned up!" Ade took out a piece of paper from his arms and put it on the table.
Everyone got up and left.
Wang Duanfang casually picked up the list, glanced at the total, and immediately cursed, "Blackmail! A bunch of unruly people, blackmail! Are a few unruly people worth this much money?"
The total amount of compensation was over two hundred strings of cash! They were even better at robbing people than me! The twenty or so strings of cash I stole yesterday had increased nearly tenfold!
"County Magistrate Wang, look carefully! There's the money you robbed from the sugar factory, compensation for the factory's losses, the cost of medicine and lost work for the eighteen Li people, and the cost of the precious medicinal materials used on the two seriously injured people.
If the two seriously injured people don't make it, there will be another huge amount of money to be paid! Including funeral expenses, child support, parental support, etc.!" Su Ying calculated one by one.
"You girl are so cunning!" Wang Duanfang discovered that the most difficult person here was the girl from the Su family.
"County Magistrate Wang, think carefully! We, the Li people of Wu County and Jinfeng Village, are based on the principle that the Han and Li are one family, so we only ask for this little compensation! Come again tomorrow, and the price won't be the same!" Su Ying smiled meaningfully.
"Stop! Fifty strings of cash!" Wang Duanfang gritted his teeth.
Fifty strings of cash?" Su Ying thought she was hallucinating.
"Yes, fifty strings of cash! Let's settle it all! Hand over the sugar-making recipe. You are not allowed to open a sugar factory in Rong County anymore, and you are not allowed to purchase sugarcane from Rong County!"
Wang Duanfang stood with his hands behind his back, looking like he was giving alms. He always took things by force. I gave him fifty strings of cash today because I am kind and merciful!
"Haha!" Su Ying sneered and turned away.
"Aying, are we just going to let it go like this?" Ade was unwilling to leave after walking out of the county government office.
This corrupt official is so arrogant that he doesn't even take the provincial clerk and the military officer seriously!
"How could that be?" Su Ying looked back at the Rong County government office.
A few words flashed faintly: The government office is open, but don’t come in if you have no money!
"We shouldn't think it's too high. We can use the fifty strings of cash to compensate everyone!" Ade was annoyed.
"How is it higher? The twenty-five strings of cash are yours to begin with.
Ten strings of cash for each injured person, and thirty strings of cash each for A-po and A-du is not much, but that's a human life!
Besides, the fifty strings of cash he gave me came along with the sugar recipe. Why should I give it to him? Who the hell does he think he is? How could he deserve it?" Su Ying shook her head.
In ancient times, human life was really worthless.
Although Ade was shouting for war and killing, when it came to the actual compensation, he only wrote down 500 coins for each injured person, and Apo and Adu only wrote down 3 strings of coins.
When Su Ying asked him to change it to ten or thirty strings of cash, Ade was so shocked that he almost jumped up! He felt like he was blackmailing her.
"We can't get a penny. Didn't the injuries of the young people go to waste? Apo, Adu and the others are still lying in the clinic, not knowing whether they are alive or dead!" Ade was depressed.
"It's just right that he refused to pay compensation. Otherwise, we wouldn't have any reason to impeach him!" Su Ying said with a smile.
"Master Hu, please advance the compensation to Jinfeng Village!"
"Ah?" County Magistrate Hu was stunned. Why was he the one to take the blame for the bad things done in Rong County?
"Don't worry! Just pay for it! You won't lose out!" Su Ying said.
"Aying, our Wu County is not very rich. If we take out more than 200 strings of cash, the Household Department will definitely make a fuss!" County Magistrate Hu made excuses again.
"Yeah, Aying, it was clearly done by Rong County, so why is it that County Magistrate Hu has to pay compensation?" Ade was confused.
Wang Yannian shook his head as he watched, "Master Hu, listen to Ah Ying, you won't suffer any loss!"
"Sir Wang!" County Magistrate Hu was puzzled and pulled Wang Yannian aside. "Why?"
"You paid the compensation in advance, and sent a letter of impeachment directly to the Heavenly Court, explaining the whole story clearly and attaching the compensation details.
They just said that in order to prevent the Han-Li family relationship from being destroyed, Wu County paid compensation out of its own pocket and comforted the injured Li people...”
Wang Yannian stopped there.
"Oh! I see. Thank you, Lord Wang, for your advice!" County Magistrate Hu came to his senses.
"Why thank me? Aying is pushing Lord Hu! Lord, you have to catch it!" Wang Yannian smiled.
Hu Sansi is not very smart, but he is very lucky.
In the past few years, he relied on his wife to run the business to support the government, and now he has the extraordinary person Aying who supports him with all her might!
If I win this duel, even if I don't get a promotion, at least my rank will be raised!
"Aying, thank you very much, thank you very much!" County Magistrate Hu bowed.
"What are you thanking me for?" Su Ying smiled and bowed to Wang Yannian, "Sir Wang, I'm sorry for setting a trap for your Wang family!"
"Aying, you're too polite. Although we are both from the Wang family, we have different ideals and cannot work together!" Wang Yannian said frankly.
"It's not that I didn't give him a chance, it's that he insisted on doing what he wanted, and he brought this upon himself!"
"Lord Wang is righteous and admirable!" Su Ying said sincerely.
Wang Yannian and Lu Zhaoshi were rare upright people among the aristocratic families, and were considered heretics by their clansmen.
"Get out! Why are you visiting the prison if you have no money?" On the other side of the corner gate, the bailiff rudely pushed away a child of eight or nine years old.
"Sir, please be merciful! I just want to see my master!" the child begged, his clothes wrinkled.
"Young Master! Why are you here?" A Jiang recognized that this was the medicine boy from the clinic who saved them yesterday.
I still owe the old doctor money for consultations and medicine, and I'm about to go and pay him back.
"Oh! How dare you come here again? You have caused so much harm to my master!" The little medicine boy recognized A Jiang and cried and cursed.
"Young master, don't cry. What happened? Was your master also captured?" Su Ying patted the little medicine boy.
"Yeah!" The little medicine boy nodded.
"Not long after they left yesterday, the police came to arrest people. My master refused to tell us where he was going, but he was also thrown into jail!
The clinic is closed, and the brothers have all gone home, all because of you! Woohoo!
My master has dedicated his life to helping others and saving countless lives, but now that he is in trouble, no one is there to save him!"
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect to bring trouble to your clinic!" A Jiang felt guilty.
"Master, Master! I am incompetent and can't do anything!" The little medicine boy cried sadly.
Isn't it said that good people are rewarded? Master has done so many good deeds, yet he is being imprisoned?
"Grandpa, how much money did you bring?" Su Ying asked Ade.
"Twenty strings of cash!" Ade replied, "Take them all and see if you can get it out! We owe the doctor! It's time to pay him back!"
"Young master, follow me!" Su Ying waved to the little medicine boy.
"What's the matter, girl?" The little medicine boy's face was dirty, and it seemed that he had not eaten for a while.
"Do you know how much money those officials want in order to release your master?" Su Ying asked.
"Those black-hearted and rotten-hearted people are asking for ten strings of cash before they're willing to let us go!" the little medicine boy said angrily.
"The clinic is closed, and the money has been confiscated. Where can I get the ten strings of cash?"
