Chapter 4 On the Question of Compensation for Car Accidents in Ancient Times
The county magistrate looked at the place where the ox cart collided with the carriage not far away, and a subtle nostalgia flashed in his eyes, and his face was not revealed, and he said loudly: "Today, the official can not investigate the crime of trespassing on the city gate." ”
Hearing this, Gu Jinxiu was very happy, and with a smile on his face, he wanted to express his gratitude to the county order, and heard the next sentence: "But your ox cart hit my carriage and damaged my carriage, the people were frightened, and the horses were also frightened, we have to talk about compensation now." ”
The smile on Gu Jinxiu's face froze, and her gratitude to the county order was gone, feeling that the spring breeze under the sun had become colder.
This ancient car accident, there is no insurance or anything, and now she only has one or two pieces of silver, can she afford it?
Just thinking about it, Gu Jinxiu raised his eyes and saw that the carriage was intact, and the ox cart in front of it was seriously damaged, the ox had blood on his forehead and right hind leg, one of the wheels of the ox cart was stuck in the pit, a cart board fell off the ground, and a cart board was shaking on a horizontal log, like a strange board, this ox cart should not be usable!
Thinking that he still had to compensate other people's ox carts, Gu Jinxiu was in a bad mood, and said with a smile: "My lord, although I was at fault for trespassing on the city gate first, but your carriage didn't do anything at all, but my ox cart was seriously damaged, and it can be regarded as a punishment, my lord, you have a lot, do you see if this compensation can be waived?" ”
The county magistrate did not answer Gu Jinxiu, and walked to the scene of the car accident, and Gu Jinxiu hurriedly followed.
After that, the county magistrate looked at the carriage, pointed to a piece of wood on the body, and said, "Do you think there is a small crack in it?" ”
Gu Jinxiu glanced at the county order's fingers, shook her head, and didn't see anything, but the county order insisted that there was, Gu Jinxiu couldn't refuse under the official authority of the county order, she rubbed her eyes and looked again, but still didn't see it.
The prefectural commander ordered, "Come closer." ”
Gu Jinxiu obediently walked to the county commander's side, bent down in front of the wooden block, looked along the place where his finger pointed, and found that there was indeed a small crack.
Looking at this carriage made of unknown wood, which only cracked a small crack under the impact of the ox, the quality of this car is really good, it must be very expensive!
Gu Jinxiu thought for a while, stretched out her fingernails and gestured, and said, "That little crack will not affect the beauty of the carriage at all, and I refuse to compensate for this." ”
The county magistrate didn't answer Gu Jinxiu, he got into the carriage, and not long after, he brought a tea set, and said to Gu Jinxiu expressionlessly: "This set of tea sets was damaged." ”
Gu Jinxiu's eyes widened and saw that the exquisite tea set made of unknown materials was being placed in the tray safe and sound, not damaged at all, and stared at the county order with unhappy eyes: "Where is this tea set broken?" ”
The county order picked up the teacup, took advantage of Gu Jinxiu's inattention, deliberately shook it with internal force, and then handed the teacup to Gu Jinxiu's hand, Gu Jinxiu didn't pay attention, held the teacup hard, only heard the sound of "clang", glanced at his right hand, only half of the teacup was in his hand, and then looked at the ground, the other half of the teacup had been torn apart.
Well, seeing is not necessarily believing!
The ancients loved to drink tea and collected tea sets, but this set of tea sets ...... Gu Jinxiu sighed slightly, and asked helplessly, "My lord, how do I want to compensate for this cup?" ”
Alas, I didn't expect to lose money on the first day I came, but she should be able to pay back a cup of silver money soon!
The county magistrate said expressionlessly: "Although the carriage has been damaged, but there are a large number of them, so you don't have to pay for it." But the official was frightened, and the horse was also frightened, you should give some compensation, that set of tea sets is from the previous dynasty, worth 10,000 taels, a total of 25,000 taels. ”
Gu Jinxiu looked at the county order in surprise, this person was in good spirits, how could he be frightened, and saw that the horses were grazing, he disagreed in his heart, and said: "You and that beast are fine, I won't pay for this, I'll pay you a cup, if you think it's unreasonable, you can do it yourself, anyway, the most valuable thing here is my life." ”
The county magistrate did not respond to Gu Jinxiu, and kept staring at her.
Under the gaze of the county order, after a long time, Gu Jinxiu, who was stared at, became a little scared, in case the county order was unhappy and arrested her and put her in prison, wouldn't she be guilty.
Gu Jinxiu thought about solving the matter first, and then she would talk about it, as for not paying back the money, she would talk about it when the time came, anyway, she still had a layer of vest on her body!
Gu Jinxiu relaxed a little and said tentatively: "I will only pay for one set of tea sets, and nothing else." ”
Seeing Gu Jinxiu's expression, the county commander curled the corners of his lips and said, "Okay, pay it off in a month." ”
Gu Jinxiu didn't expect the county order to agree, but the time given by the county order was a bit short.
Now that she has just arrived, and Liu is pregnant, a month is not enough for her to arrange things in the future.
Gu Jinxiu discussed: "My lord, I'm just a poor scholar, in a month, I sold myself, and I can't make so much money, or you extend it a little longer, a year, a year later, I will definitely pay it off." ”
One year is enough time for her to earn enough money, change into a vest, and run away with the He family!
The county order paused for a moment, and a clear smile loomed at the corner of his mouth, "No, half a year at most." ”
Gu Jinxiu saw that the county order was resolute, and knew that this was the final bottom line: "Okay!" ”
After that, the two of them made a debt certificate, and after the matter was over, the county magistrate left with everyone.
Gu Jinxiu stood there, looking at the debt diploma unfolded in his right hand, while thinking: Li Mojin, in this half a year, I will definitely work hard to earn money, change into a daughter, and run away with the He family, and then let you go to the bottom of the cliff to find Gu Jinhao to ask for compensation, anyway, it is not my Gu Jinxiu's deed of sale. She raised her eyes to look at the pot of cups on the tray in her left hand in exchange for the debt diploma, and raised a bright smile, although one was missing, it was always an antique, and it should be very valuable!
Gu Jinxiu was calculating Li Mojin, but he didn't know that Li Mojin was also calculating her, sitting in the carriage, he carefully collected the debt diploma, and glanced at the place where the tea set was originally placed on the table, and now there was only one teacup left, the corners of his lips rose slightly, and he was looking forward to the day when he would repay the debt!
Gu Jinxiu......
He silently recited the name in his mind.
At this time, Gu Jinxiu was apologizing to Uncle Wang and said that he would return a new ox cart to him in the future, and gave Uncle Wang the silver on his body and asked him to take the cow to the veterinarian, and she took the little girl into the city.
As soon as she entered the city, Gu Jinxiu looked at the ancient city buildings, the ancient streets, and the shouting and selling sound one after another, attracting Gu Jinxiu, the "soil bun" from modern times to ancient times, her eyes were overwhelmed to look around, and she almost bumped into people a few times.
At this time, Gu Jinxiu's stomach gurgled and screamed, she rubbed her stomach, looked around, saw a pawn shop, her eyes lit up, and she took the little girl to the shop.
