Chapter 126 Compensation
The pavilion chief also looked at Su Hanchu with a puzzled look.
Su Hanchu spoke as a matter of course.
"For the sake of the pavilion chief, if your Yan family compensates the injured villagers for their medical expenses and promises not to come to our village again, we will let you go."
Yan Shaofeng spoke through gritted teeth.
"You know how many injuries these villagers have suffered. It's our Yan family who have been injured by so many of you. Woman, don't push your luck..."
When Su Han first saw him, she immediately called him "woman".
"Master Yan, you can call me Madam Jun."
Then he looked at the pavilion chief.
"Captain, we ordinary people rely on physical labor to survive. Now that so many people have been injured, we don't know if they will have the strength to harvest the rice. Even if this is a misunderstanding, the Yan family must pay for the medical expenses."
The headman looked at most of the people who were sitting on the ground with painful expressions, and finally looked at Su Hanchu and his wife. He still remembered the couple. After all, they came to his place to divide the village a few months ago. It was no wonder that the Yan family was in trouble after encountering these two people.
Jun Moye suddenly spoke.
"Master, can you please show me the Yan family's land purchase documents? After all, how can you tell if they're real or fake without seeing them?"
Upon hearing this, the headman did not refuse and handed the document to Jun Moye.
"This is indeed a document from the county government."
Jun Moye took it and took a look, and saw the problem at a glance.
"This document is fake."
Yan Shaofeng spoke excitedly after hearing this.
"That's impossible. This was just taken from the county government office two days ago."
The pavilion chief also spoke in surprise.
"It shouldn't be fake, after all, I know the county yamen's documents."
Jun Moye spoke in a deep voice.
"According to Tianyuan's laws, regarding land issues, whether from the prefect or the county government, all documents must be stamped to be valid. Your document doesn't even have a stamp, making it no different from a piece of waste paper. I might even suspect that this document was forged by your Yan family. Master Yan, forging a document is a serious crime."
Yan Shaofeng's face turned grim after hearing this. Only he knew that the document was real, but it was also real without the seal.
"This document is indeed genuine. Perhaps the county government forgot to stamp it when it was taken out."
Then he bowed to the pavilion chief.
"Master, my Yan family is willing to compensate for the medical expenses. Please be a witness."
Su Hanchu smiled faintly when he saw this. He was determined to make the Yan family bleed today.
"Master Yan, how do you plan to compensate me?"
If it weren't for this woman, the matter would have been settled long ago, Yan Shaofeng spoke while suppressing his anger.
"Madam Jun, our Yan family will invite a doctor to treat every villager. Those who need good medicine will receive good medicine, and those who need good medicine will receive good medicine. The expenses for the consultation and the prescription of medicine will be paid by our Yan family."
Su Hanchu spoke upon hearing this.
"No, that's not how it's calculated."
After hearing this, Yan Shaofeng felt that he could no longer hold back his anger.
"Madam Jun, please don't push your luck."
Su Hanchu simply ignored his threat.
"Master Yan, we ordinary people rely on our own strength to work and survive. You injured someone. Some have broken arms and legs, and some have internal injuries. I don't know how long they will need to recover. In the days to come, they still need to eat and drink. Master Yan, shouldn't you pay some compensation for mental damages and living expenses?"
The villagers on the ground also made painful sounds in response to Su Hanchu.
"Oh, I can't take it anymore. My chest hurts so much and I can't breathe..."
"Me too, me too. Just now, someone from the Yan family kicked me hard in the heart. I don't know if I'm going to die."
"Oh, my feet, I can't move my feet..."
Yan Shaofeng naturally saw that these people were pretending, but he had no way to stop them, so he spoke with gritted teeth.
"Then how much silver do you think is appropriate as compensation, Madam Jun?"
Su Hanchu looked at the villagers on the ground.
"Well, Master Yan, the first ones injured were Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou. It was you, Master Yan, who started it and used your numbers to bully the weak and severely injure them. How about you pay ten taels of silver to each of them so they can recover from their injuries in peace? As for the others, how about you pay five taels of silver? Your Yan family is a well-traveled merchant family. You shouldn't be unable to pay this little money, right?"
Yan Shaofeng looked at Su Hanchu as if he had seen a ghost.
"You are asking for too much, you are going too far..."
Su Hanchu ignored him and looked at the pavilion chief.
"Master, the Yan family even dared to forge documents. Who knows if they will commit treason or rebellion in the future? Why don't you all send them to the county government and lock them up so that the government can investigate the Yan family's background?"
Upon hearing this, the head of the pavilion looked at Yan Shaofeng and was thinking in his heart.
Yan Shaofeng had already spoken.
"Okay, our Yan family will compensate you, but I don't have that much silver on me, so I have to go back and get it."
Su Hanchu smiled and spoke after hearing this.
"Ah! Master Yan, you can't even come up with this little money? Didn't you say you were a big merchant? Isn't the term 'big merchant' a bit too much? Besides, aren't you here to buy land? Don't you have silver with you? Master Yan, you can't afford it, right?"
Yan Shaofeng's face was so ugly that it was almost as black as the bottom of a pot.
"A woman like Madam Jun is really rare."
Listening to the sound of Yan Shaofeng gritting his teeth, Su Hanchu spoke nonchalantly.
"I'll just take it as Master Yan praising me."
Then he glanced at the crowd.
"There are about four hundred people here, five taels each, plus Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou's ten taels. Master Yan, you should compensate us with two thousand and twenty taels of silver. Master Yan, give us the silver!"
In the end, Yan Shaofeng looked at Su Hanchu and others, gritted his teeth, took out the silver note and put it into Su Hanchu's hand, then left with his people angrily.
Su Hanchu handed the banknotes to Uncle Liu, signaling him to distribute them to each family one by one, and then looked at the headman.
"Master, please bear witness that this money is the medical compensation paid by the Yan family to everyone."
The headman nodded slightly, and only spoke after seeing that the banknotes had been distributed to one or two families.
"Okay, now that it's over, I'm going back."
Su Hanchu spoke again.
"Master, please wait."
