Chapter 139: Unable to Express Pain
He Er really wanted to cry but had no tears. He himself didn't even know who the boss behind the scenes was, so how could he convey this?
Lin Xi was laughing secretly on the side, not knowing how it felt for Hang Qi to judge himself, but she was quite happy as a spectator.
"He Er, you don't even know who your boss is, yet you just follow him around." Lin Xi didn't hide his sarcasm at all, "Your boss has set up such a big stall, and he must have made a lot of money. This little compensation is just a drop in the bucket for him."
Hang Qi's mouth twitched as he listened to Lin Xi's words, and he almost wanted to curse. It was true that he made money from the bacon business, but he invested almost all of it in a new batch of goods, so he had no money at all now.
"Sir, I think it's better to set a deadline for this matter. We can't keep people waiting forever." Lin Xi said.
Hang Qi now felt that it was obvious that this guy Lin Xi had a grudge against him in his previous life, and not only had he already made the judgment, he had to follow behind and fan the flames.
What’s worse is that people outside also began to echo Lin Xi’s words.
The man in blue slapped his thigh and said, "Boss Lin is right. I have other things to do. I can't stay here forever. It will be hard to explain when I go back."
"Okay, in that case, He Er, I give you three days to pay the compensation to the other party, otherwise you will be severely punished!" Hang Qi slammed the gavel.
He Er felt like he was struck by lightning. He was just an accountant in charge of the store, so why did he suddenly have to bear such a heavy responsibility?
"Sir, I am innocent. I really don't know who the boss behind this is!" He Er was so scared that he begged for mercy on the ground.
"This is your own business. I will only give you three days." Hang Qi's tone became increasingly serious.
Only Lin Xi was interested in watching the fun and said, "He Er, if you don't know who is behind this, just write a complaint. The Lord is very perceptive and fair, and will definitely make a decision for you."
He Er's eyes widened, "You are right."
Hang Qi's head was about to explode. What was going on with this Lin Xi? He was talking about things that were irrelevant.
"Okay, the case is clear now."
Hang Qi was really impatient and announced that he would adjourn the court session.
Lin Xi looked at the other person's back as he hurried away, feeling a little disappointed. He ran away a little too early. She wanted to play more.
After leaving the county government office, the man in blue and the man in white went their separate ways and turned away, as if they had nothing to do with Lin Xi.
Three days later, Hang Qi would pay the price for his stupidity.
County government study.
Hang Qi had not had time to change out of his official uniform as he walked into the house and started to comb the place. The lawyer stood at the door listening to the sound of things falling everywhere and was terrified.
This time Hang Qi was extremely angry.
"Sir," the master dared only stand at the door, "this fellow..."
"We've found a ravine, but I'm going to let Lin Xi laugh at me!" Hang Qi was like a firecracker. After hearing this, the lawyer quickly ran away.
Hang Qi felt extremely painful when he thought about having to pay more than one thousand taels of silver to others.
After closing the door, Hang Qi opened the secret compartment underneath. There were only 1,800 taels in the sandalwood box. This time, he had to take out 1,600 taels at once. How was he going to live like this?
However, he had to pay compensation because he couldn't afford to offend the Wang family of Yulou.
Taoli Village, Xiao family.
When Lin Xi came back, Xiao Yongyan was reading a book in the house. He wrote and read like this all day long, and no one knew what he had come up with.
Lin Xi told Xiao Yongyan what happened in court today, and was quite proud, "You didn't see Hang Qi's expression, it was as black as the bottom of a pot, I think he was going to vomit blood in the next second."
Having been cheated by Hang Qi several times, Lin Xi was very happy that he finally had the ability to make Hang Qi fail this time.
"That guy holds a grudge. You have offended him completely. It will be even more difficult to deal with you in the future." Xiao Yongyan said with a smile.
"If I have really offended you, won't you try to save me?" Lin Xi looked at the other person with sparkling eyes.
Xiao Yongyan quickly expressed his loyalty, "Whoever dares to take you in, I will make him die miserably."
"He just says nice things." Lin Xi didn't think Xiao Yongyan would really do that. She thought that he just read more books, so he was better at saying nice things.
"Madam, you don't believe it." Xiao Yongyan put down the brush in his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"What's wrong with not believing it?" Lin Xi looked at the other party provocatively. Shouldn't he prove it to herself? He couldn't ask her to verify it.
Xiao Yongyan walked up to Lin Xi and looked down at him.
For a moment, Lin Xi felt something was wrong and wanted to take a step back, but it was too late.
Xiao Yongyan picked him up and said, "I'll ask you to believe it."
Dusk is falling, but the red candle is still burning.
Early the next morning.
In a daze, Lin Xi felt that the people around her had woken up, but she was still very sleepy, so she turned over and continued to sleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Xi was awakened by Xiao Yongyan.
"Don't sleep anymore. Didn't you say you wanted to find a papermaking master?" Xiao Yongyan said.
Silk rice paper is a serious matter. Lin Xi woke up instantly and said, "Yes, I plan to go to Xucheng today."
Xiao Yongyan smiled and handed the clothes to Lin Xi, "Change your clothes and we'll set off."
"Are you going too?" Lin Xi looked at the other person suspiciously. Is his academy still going to continue? He follows him around all day long. It's not like the signboard will stop working one day, will it?
"It's okay, give them some time to study on their own. I will test the teachers when I come back." Xiao Yongyan said calmly.
This behavior of taking exams right after vacation seems a little familiar, Lin Xi thought silently, as if his alma mater also has this style.
…
Asahi City.
After traveling for most of the day, Xiao Yongyan and Lin Xi finally arrived in Xucheng. Feng Miao prepared food early and reported on the recent mineral mining matters.
Lin Xi discovered two mines, one is an iron mine and the other is a coal mine. Among them, only the coal mine is currently profitable. Feng Miao has already revealed the news to the bosses around him, saying that they can consider buying coal from him.
As for the iron ore, iron is often related to weapons these days, so Lin Xi felt it was not appropriate to make it public.
In order to avoid suspicion from the government, Lin Xi told Feng Miao that he was going to plant trees at the foot of the mountain.
"Young Madam, I have asked around for the golden nanmu you mentioned, but I can't find it anywhere." Feng Miao said.
Lin Xi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have already prepared the saplings for you. All you have to do is plant the trees."
"Don't worry, ma'am." Feng Miao nodded.
"By the way, when you have more money, you can consider building a few holiday villas here. Maybe it can be an extra source of income." Lin Xi said.
"Vacation...Zhuangzi." Feng Miao looked at Lin Xi with confusion. She had never heard of this thing.
Lin Xi frowned, thinking that he had said the wrong thing again, "I just want to build a villa for relaxation, and then I can rent it out to others, but I can't sell it."
"I understand." As soon as Lin Xi mentioned the villa, Feng Miao immediately understood.
