Chapter 143 Settlement
Although Jiang Shang said it nicely, there are still a few people who are truly willing to hand over their destiny to others.
After waiting for a while, the people in the cave did not speak, neither agreed nor refused.
But Jiang Shang knew that they had already wavered in their hearts.
So he did not force him again, but turned his eyes to the customers who were crowded all over the ground.
"Ahem, I'll introduce you to you for the first time."
Jiang Shang showed a polite smile.
"This official Jiang Xiaoyu, the county magistrate of Qingyang County, has been entrusted by the people of the whole city, many gentry and socialites to deal with various disputes and cases that have occurred in the city in recent days."
"So don't be afraid. If you are guilty, let's confess. As a local county magistrate, I will definitely give you the greatest tolerance.
As for not having any guilt, you don’t need to panic. I have always enforced the law impartially and will never carry out unnecessary personal attacks on you."
"See that Captain Lin next to me is not there."
"He is the famous Demon Suppression Division Captain. He has always hated evil and cannot tolerate any sand in his eyes. With him on the side, everyone can rest assured him."
Jiang Shang pointed to Lin Tianxiang with a dark face and introduced with a smile.
But in everyone's eyes, isn't this a warning?
It would be fine if a county lieutenant whom none of them could beat him, but he even got the tiger skin of the Demon Suppression Division.
Now they have to consider whether they are qualified to settle the accounts.
"Well--it'll start with you."
Jiang Shang seemed to be a person who was approaching the corner of his finger.
This is a young swordsman in his twenties, but his knife has broken at this moment, and his nose is not sure whether it hit the ground and his face is bleeding.
"What's the name?"
When the young swordsman saw Jiang Shang looking at him, he couldn't help but tremble:
"Zhao...Zhao Changping."
"Zhao Changping, I'll look for it."
Jiang Shang waved, and a constable brought a thick account book.
He opened it casually and it turned out to be a file.
Each page above records the portrait of a person's name and the case that was committed.
"Yo, found it."
"Zhao Changping, when he came to Qingyang County on October 12th, he had a conflict with the young master of Liu Yuanwai's family in the south of the city because he had a drink in Yuelai Restaurant, and he seriously injured Mr. Liu.
After Mr. Liu reported the case to the yamen, he never caught anyone.
You are the ones you have been escaping.”
Jiang Shang stared at the young swordsman dangerously and asked:
"Do you know your guilt now?"
Zhao Changping said with a sad face: "The people of the grass know that they are guilty."
As soon as he heard that he was guilty, Jiang Shang immediately laughed, making people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze.
He could only hear him say, "Since you know the crime, it would be easy to deal with. According to the law, you would have to be sentenced to ten years in prison. You would also have to compensate Mr. Liu's family for the decoction, nutritional expenses, psychological injury costs, etc., for a total of 2,456 taels of silver.
However, with the full mediation of my official, Mr. Liu decided to reconcile with you outside the court, and you will be exempted from the bitter kiln for the past ten years.
However, the amount of compensation must increase to 5,456 taels of silver, totaling 300 taels of silver a year, less than one tael of silver a day.
You're making a lot of money now."
"By the way, I haven't asked you if you're willing to accept an out-of-court settlement?"
"Will you?"
Jiang Shang was clearly smiling, but to others, he looked like a vampire smile, which made people shudder.
Zhao Changping nodded first, then shook his head:
"The grass people are willing, but the grass people don't have that much money to pay."
Jiang Shang touched his chin, feeling a little embarrassed:
"Then how many do you have?"
Zhao Changping replied: "The grass people only need less than one hundred taels of silver."
“How many exactly?”
"Eight taels and six cents."
Jiang Shang sighed and said, "There is nothing to do. If you don't have money to pay, you will have to be sentenced to an additional sentence.
Originally, it would be enough for ten years, but now it seems that it would not work without twenty years.
Now, although I am willing to help you, I am also powerless.”
"Twenty years?"
Zhao Changping suddenly panicked:
"Caomin cannot be in prison for twenty years. My wife is still waiting for me. I haven't left the Liu family for the rear! "
"Sir, please help the people!"
Jiang Shang spread his hands and said, "But you don't have any money to pay for it."
Zhao Changping nodded quickly and said, "Some, some, as long as the grass-roots write a letter home, they can raise two thousand taels of silver.
Also, Cao Min heard that Hongye Fang City is now recruiting people. Cao Min is a warrior on the seventh level after signing a ten-year employment contract with them, he can get 3,000 taels of silver at one time.
If you sign a longer contract, you can get more money!”
The Liang family, who were gloating on the side, were watching a joke, but when they heard this, they looked at each other and felt something was wrong.
This contract is so similar to the thing that the father and son signed?
But why didn't they get the money for selling?
The father and son scratched their heads and read grievances from each other's eyes.
Isn't this bullying?
Jiang Shang looked helpless and sighed:
"Forget it, I think of your sincere repentance, and when you get all the money, I will let you go immediately."
"Thank you, thank you."
Zhao Changping thanked repeatedly.
Jiang Shang nodded reservedly: "Next."
The man behind Zhao Changping was a middle-aged man in his forties. Before Jiang Shang could speak, he took the initiative to explain:
"Sir, the common people plead guilty."
"Don't worry, don't worry, let's talk about your name first, I will make a break."
Jiang Shang pointed to the thick list in his hand.
The middle-aged man said, "Little Min Luo Bu, I bumped into an old man on the street a few days ago. Looking back now, I feel so sad that my conscience is being tortured every day and night.
The little people are willing to make every effort to compensate and ask for the elderly’s forgiveness.”
Jiang Shang looked through the list and nodded, "I found it, Luo Bu.
There was such a case that the old man was later sent to the clinic. Fortunately, it was timely and there was no life danger.
But if you hit someone first, escape later, you will pay 200 taels of silver.
You have to thank the old man for being generous."
The middle-aged man thanked repeatedly: "Thank you, sir, Xiaomin must have enough money as soon as possible."
As he said that, he automatically walked to the young swordsman just now, all of whom had pleaded guilty and did not pay any compensation.
Jiang Shang waved his hand: "Next."
"Sir, villain Chen Cai."
The third one tied was a thin and weak young man who looked a little weak and could hit three with one punch.
Jiang Shang opened the list seriously and found his name.
"Chen Cai, he entered the city on the second day of November and has been performing well and has no criminal facts."
"Come on, untie his rope and let him go."
With Jiang Shang's order, someone stepped forward and untied his rope.
Chen Cai was stunned for a moment and asked, "Sir, can I really leave?"
Jiang Shang snorted: "Then there is still fake!"
"I am just talking about it. Since you have not committed any crime, why should I arrest you?
Speaking of which, it is also you people in the martial arts world who are asking for trouble.
Good days, but I have to come out to find some excitement.
It’s okay to look for excitement, but you have to bully ordinary people.
If not, why would I design you to settle the crimes with you one by one?
If you want to blame, blame you fellow practitioners who are unwilling to abide by the law. They have also implicated you innocent warriors."
Chen Cai sighed after hearing this and couldn't help but cover his face and leave.
"The words of the adults are deafening, and the villain is ashamed.
