Thirty taels is already a generous amount compared to a beating.
Chen Quan could only swallow his anger.
“Wait a minute,” Nan Zhi said, “Sir, this person has slandered my No. 1 Restaurant and even filed a lawsuit against me. Sir, what is my status that allows a commoner like me to file a lawsuit against me?”
That really reminded Lin Chengyi.
“When commoners sue government officials, they are judged according to the severity of the offense; if it is a false accusation, they are punished with fifty strokes of the cane and fined fifty taels of silver.”
Chen Yan took a step back and said incredulously, "Sir, we didn't tell you."
Lin Chengyi sneered: "Nan Zhi, His Majesty personally appointed you as a seventh-rank official, how dare you slander me!"
Chen Yan looked at Nan Zhi in disbelief.
Nan Zhi smiled and said, "Miss Chen, oh no, Mrs. Chen, you should read more books when you have time."
Nan Zhi's voice was not quiet, and the people standing outside the courtroom laughed.
Wang Yushu leaned on his servant's shoulder, "Hahaha, Xiucheng, this lady is really amazing. Not only does she know how to run a restaurant, but she also has a silver tongue. No wonder you like her. I'm starting to like her too."
He Xiucheng turned around and looked at him coldly.
Wang Yushu quickly corrected himself, "No, no, no, I mean I appreciate it."
A figure gradually disappeared from the shadows at the entrance of the courthouse.
In the end, Chen Quan was given fifty lashes, and Chen Yan took him back while crying.
Nan Zhi held the fifty taels in her hand and said, "Sir, fifty taels is not enough to compensate for the wounds I have suffered."
Lin Chengyi glared at her. "Alright, if you can persuade that person, no one will say anything even if it's ten thousand taels."
Nanzhi smacked her lips and sighed, "Never mind."
She had never even seen the person above her. The book said, "When the emperor is angry, millions of corpses lie in wait, and blood flows for thousands of miles."
It's safer for her to stay in this small county town.
Lin Chengyi suddenly remembered something, "By the way, does my Feiyan work for you?"
Nan Zhi nodded, "We're going to partner up and open the number one restaurant in the world all over the central region. What do you think, sir?"
"......"
Lin Chengyi wanted to say something, but swallowed it back in the end.
"Feiyan has always stayed at home. Now that she's out, please take good care of her."
Is this considered entrusting one's son to another?
Nanzhi snapped out of her daze and said, "What are you saying, sir? Miss Feiyan is intelligent, and it's not impossible to take care of her."
Nanzhi rubbed her hands together. "I'm a little short on cash lately."
“Hey,” Lin Chengyi said to Zhang Hongfu, pointing at Nanzhi, “Look at you, look at you, you’ve got a little kindness and you’re already taking advantage of me.”
Zhang Hongfu couldn't help but laugh.
