Chapter 659: Standing Right When You Are Beaten (7)
Qi Ke's hired Xiucai worked hard to lay out the facts, reasoned and bargained.
Tang Yun admitted that Qi Ke's reputation was damaged by his Tang family, which he did not deny, but at the same time, he couldn't tell what their family's motive was for cheating Qi Ke, and he vaguely felt that it might be that his brother-in-law and Qi Ke had a grudge at some point, and in order to protect their own reputation, they could only infer that the family was in a hurry and did stupid things.
Naturally, no one believes this kind of reason, the family just said that they wanted to sue, and when they really sent someone to the government to complain, they are two completely different things, Tang Yun bought mountain goods from Qi Ke several times, and he himself knew very well whether Qi Ke had sold poisonous mushrooms, but he still allowed his family to falsely accuse Qi Ke, causing today's honorary lawsuit.
Tang Yun accepted such accusations in its entirety, he did not defend himself, and focused on the final compensation, five hundred taels was too high for him, Donglin County is such a poor and food-short small county town, the name of the rich man is good, in fact, when he goes to the outside county, it is a well-off family in the middle of the level, and it is very fatal to pay five hundred taels of silver at one time, so that a sum of money can buy hundreds of acres of land.
But there are good reasons on the paper, and it is said between the lines that there is no meaning of blackmail, Qi Ke is a worthless military household, just a small village official appointed by General Bai, her face is not worth much, so how much is the face of the first general of the imperial court worth?
In such a comparison, the county lord and the chief bookkeeper on the side both felt that the compensation of five hundred taels was low, and one thousand taels was not too much.
Tang Yun was sweating all over his body, and the name of General Bai stood in front of him, making it difficult for him to say anything beneficial to himself, and the housekeeper behind him knew that the general trend had gone, his face was anxious, and he couldn't help a word, and he was already thinking about how to reduce the family's expenses after the money was taken out, and what to do with the future of the second master and the second room who were dying, not to mention that the family still needed money for their livelihood.
The county lord and Xue Jiang who were sitting on it could see that Tang Yun had lost, although they didn't know if the Tang family could get this silver, but if he couldn't tell if the compensation was unreasonable, the five hundred taels would have to be decided.
In fact, this amount of money is not set by Qi Ke, but according to Lin, according to Qi Ke, he knows where the upper limit of the Tang family's payment is, anyway, he doesn't plan to cooperate in the future, just let them hurt hard, and it hurts so much that he will know how to speak and think about the consequences in advance, and don't pull innocent people to blame at will.
Therefore, if the contradiction cannot be reconciled, please ask the county lord to pronounce the verdict.
The county lord looked at Tang Yun really pitifully, but he didn't want to offend the Bai family, the Tang family was the people under his rule, but the Bai family army directly pinched whether he could move safely after the expiration of his term, which one is important, it is self-evident.
So, after listening to the back and forth of the two sides below, the county lord took his hand and slapped the table with a startled wood, preparing for the last mediation, but the mediation did not achieve the verdict.
There was no suspense in the mediation result, and when Zhaolin put forward the calculation method of compensation in a reasonable and well-founded manner, Tang Yun completely gave up struggling, because according to Zhaolin's algorithm, the five hundred taels still erased more than 30 taels.
This is also tantamount to saying that the cooperation between the two sides has come to an end.
The county lord saw that Xue nodded generally, and he didn't delay any longer, so he pronounced the verdict.
