Chapter 252: Ten Miles of Coconut Grove (Four Watches)
Village Chief Su's eyes lit up, and he was no longer angry, "Then let's calculate first, how much money we have to lose!" ”
Gu Yuqiao said leisurely: "Don't worry, Village Chief Su, let's sort out the matter of compensation one last time." ”
Village Chief Su said impatiently: "Long-winded! ”
But when he thought of the face that could be recovered immediately, as well as the compensation, he still listened patiently to the young man.
Gu Yuqiao cleared his throat, raised his voice, and said clearly word by word:
"The big guys have listened well, and now the two villages have reached a consensus, and the mayor will do the notarization, and the handling is as follows:
First, in the village where coconuts were stolen, robbed, and beaten people, one tael of silver was compensated for each injured child in another village; second, the coconuts that had been taken away before were converted into five taels of silver, and the village that owned the coconuts was compensated; Third, the child who beats someone must beat the child back to get angry. ”
"Did you hear me clearly?"
"Clear, clear!"
Most of the onlookers were people from Haipi Village, and when they heard that this was a good thing for their village, they naturally responded happily, and they didn't have any opinions at all.
even laughed in their hearts that the young man who spoke was stupid and cowardly, and he was scared like this when he saw how united the people in their village were.
"Don't talk nonsense," Village Chief Su said: "While you are Rory, I have already settled the account, there are a total of fifteen injured children in our village, plus the compensation of coconut, that is twenty taels." ”
As soon as his voice fell, the people of Haipi Village immediately gloated: "Twenty taels, give the money quickly!" ”
Unexpectedly, the young man took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, handed it to the lieutenant chief, and said calmly: "Wrong." ”
Village Chief Su was stunned, "What's wrong?" ”
But he didn't notice that when the chief saw the piece of paper given by the young man, his expression suddenly became very strange.
Gu Yuqiao said slowly: "A total of thirteen people were injured in our village yesterday, plus the compensation of coconut, it is eighteen taels. Thank you, Village Chief Su, for understanding the righteousness, is your village paying cash or writing an IOU? ”
Village Chief Su was stunned for a moment, and then asked in disbelief: "Stinky boy, are you saying that you didn't lose money to us, but we lost money to you?" ”
"That's right, it's just that the people in your village often steal my coconuts to eat, and the people who injured me yesterday have to pay for it after the beating, isn't it?" Village Chief Su understood the key to his words, and only felt ridiculous, "How did the coconut of our village become yours?" ”
"Oh," Gu Yuqiao raised his chin and pointed to the piece of paper in the chief's hand, "In black and white, not only this coconut grove near your village, but also the coconut grove in ten miles from the east bank of the Lei Gong River to the east, since yesterday afternoon, it is all mine." ”
"What?!" Village Chief Su took the title deed in the chief's hand and read it from beginning to end, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became.
"How can this be, Chief, isn't this coconut grove in the land of our village? How can you sell it to someone else? ”
The lieutenant didn't speak, in fact, he was also puzzled, but it was the official seal of the county government on it, and it was impossible to fake it.
The head of the white village didn't see the title deed, but he suddenly remembered that the girl happened to ask him a few days ago about the ownership of the coconut grove and the beach, and now there is such a thing, and he understands it after a little thought.
Immediately laughed at the village chief Su.
"You think too much, in general, in a seaside village, the road from the village to the beach is saline and sandy, and the nearby beach is not suitable for large boats. Twenty years ago, when the county divided the land boundary, in order to demarcate more mountains and plains, there was basically no village, and those who were willing to divide these beaches and saline-alkali land into the village range included your village! ”
