"Sue me?" Wu Youwei let go of Ye Xu's hand, tidied up his clothes and said, "The old man has no grievances with you Ye Xu, why did you sue me?" ”

"Ahem." Ye Xu coughed dryly, took out a roll of rice paper and presented it to the county order and said: "My lord, the villain bought one hundred taels of fruit in the Wu family's fruit market yesterday to reward my people, a total of ninety-six people, how can these ninety-six people eat the fruits of the Wu family, and today they all vomit and diarrhea, so according to the standard of ten taels per person set by Wu Lao, I ask Boss Wu to compensate the villain for nine hundred and sixty taels of silver!" ”

"This rice paper is the joint letter of 96 people under my command, please take a look."

"You, you, you... You're just talking! Wu Youwei pointed at Ye Xu's nose and scolded: "Our Wu family fruit market has a good reputation in Wuping County for decades, how could this happen?" You're blackmailing! Extortion! Robbery! ”

"Oh?" Ye Xu raised his eyebrows and said to Wu Youwei: "Boss Wu, the people under your command can sell the rotten bayberry, so what else can't be done?" ”

"Humph!" When Wu Youwei heard this, his face suddenly darkened, and he thought that even if he deducted the nine hundred and sixty taels, he would also pit Ye Xu four thousand and forty taels, which would be enough.

"Okay, Master Ben is in a good mood today, you can take nine hundred and sixty taels from this box yourself, um... For the sake of the county magistrate's face, I will pay an extra forty taels for you out of my own pocket, and you can take one thousand taels. Wu Youwei said magnificently.

"Master Wu seems to have miscalculated, right?" Ye Xu sneered and said: "This nine hundred and sixty taels is just for the medical expenses and rehabilitation expenses of my subordinates, and my own money has not been counted, these ninety-six workers are sick and do not give me work, my industry will not be able to operate, and I will earn nearly one hundred taels of silver less in one day, I see that the group of workers will have to rest for at least ten days and half a month, I will just count ten days with you, and you will have to compensate me one thousand taels!" ”

"This..."Hearing this, Wu Youwei's face turned pale, and he obviously fell into Ye Xu's trap.

If you agree to pay it at the beginning, it will prove that you are at a loss, then what compensation Ye Xu wants next, as long as it is reasonable, the county order will basically support it.

"Don't be afraid." Ye Xu patted Wu Youwei's shoulder and said, "I, Ye Xu, am not the kind of lord who is unforgiving, as long as you give me these two thousand silver today, then this matter will be over." ”

"Good!" Wu Youwei gritted his teeth and said, "Then ask Shopkeeper Ye to take another thousand taels by himself!" ”

"Then thank you Boss Wu." Ye Xu smiled politely.

"Since there is nothing else to do, then I will take my leave first!" Wu Youwei looked at the three thousand taels of silver with a little disappointment, and kept comforting himself in his heart.

It's better than nothing...

"Hmm~ Shopkeeper Wu, don't leave in such a hurry, I didn't say anything just now to sue you about this?" Ye Xu grabbed Wu Youwei, who was leaving, again.

"What else do you have to do?" Wu Youwei shook off Ye Xu's words and looked at Ye Xu angrily.

Seeing that the five thousand taels of silver in his hand became three thousand taels, Wu Youwei really didn't want to continue to entangle with this Ye Xu.

"Wu Zhuang, come up and show the adults what you collected in Liangcai County today." Ye Xu beckoned Wu Zhuang to the court.

The county magistrate took the rice paper handed over by Wu Zhuang, and directly blew his beard and glared at him angrily, and directly put the rice paper on the ground, and scolded: "Okay, you are a Wu Youwei, look at the good things you have done!" ”

Wu Youwei saw the reaction of the county order, picked up the rice paper on the ground in confusion, looked at it a few times, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "My lord, this matter is not the villain's business!" It's all this Ye Xu's ghost! ”

"Humph!" Ye Xu squinted at Wu Youwei and said unhurriedly: "Could it be that I forced you to make you perjudicious in court?" This rice paper is covered with the official seal of the Liangcai County Order, written on the white paper and black letters, after investigation, yesterday's batch of bayberry was not sold by your Wu family at all, but secretly hoarded, as for those Liangcai County Orders who claimed to have eaten rotten bayberry and got sick, it was just that you spent money to hire it! There's your servant's signature on it! What do you deny! ”

"Your Excellency!" Ye Xu clasped his fists at the county order and said, "In that case, doesn't the villain have to compensate this Wu Youwei for five thousand taels of silver?" ”

The county magistrate touched his chin and said, "Naturally, but Wu Youwei actually made false testimony in court and fooled the official, so he will be fined five hundred taels of silver!" ”

The county commander was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't expect to be able to catch a handful.

"In addition, Wu Youwei, the two thousand silver you just promised to pay to Shopkeeper Ye must be delivered to Shopkeeper Ye before tomorrow, otherwise... You're welcome! The county commander said coldly.

Seeing that he couldn't steal chickens and rice, Wu Youwei had no choice but to say hatefully: "The villain obeys, the villain obeys." ”

Back home, Ye Xu sat comfortably on the Taishi chair, stretched his waist, and couldn't help but sigh, this shopping mall is like a battlefield, people's hearts are unpredictable, since he came to Wuping County to do business, he doesn't trouble others, but others have been looking for trouble for himself.

This reminded Ye Xu of what the head of the Zheng family said to him a few days ago.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing one's parents.

These old foxes are really not ambiguous at all when they deal with themselves.

"Brother Xu, how do you know that this Wu Youwei won't sell rotten fruits?" Wu Zhuang asked Ye Xu a little curiously.

Ye Xu smiled and said: "Wu Youwei takes great care of his feathers, plus Liangcai County is the second largest market in their Wu family's fruit industry, there is no need for him to mess up such a big market in order to pit me, so I asked you to take the city lord's token to urge Liangcai County to supervise this matter." ”

"Oh!" Wu Zhuang looked suddenly enlightened, and compared his fingers to Ye Xu and said, "Brother Xu is really powerful!" ”

"Okay, since the three of them are so ignorant, then we should also take the initiative." Ye Xu stood up and said, "You go to the Wu family now and buy all the fruits of the Wu family back!" ”

"Buy it back?" Wu Zhuang was confused: "Why do we want to buy so many fruits?" Can't we finish eating? ”

"I didn't say I wanted to eat it, I wanted to sell the fruit." Ye Xu took a sip of tea and said.

"Sell?" Wu Zhuang looked at Ye Xu repeatedly, and after confirming that he had heard correctly, he said, "Let's go to them and buy it back and sell it again, it won't make money at all!" Isn't this a toss-up? ”

Ye Xu said with a firm gaze: "I didn't say I wanted to sell fruits!" I'm going to sell fruit juice! ”
