In this era, magistrates had great power to interpret laws and discretion, and many cases could be settled with one word.
After watching the quarrel in the hall, the county magistrate made a judgment and asked Lin Tailai to be responsible for compensating the victim's family.
Of these two people, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to endure, ah no, one is willing to seek compensation and the other is willing to compensate, which is similar to self-reconciliation.
As far as the county magistrate is concerned, one more thing is worse than one less thing. If you can settle it on the spot, do it and don't leave any trouble for yourself when you leave office.
There are many cases that need to be tried in each court session. After this case is handled, the relevant personnel can leave.
When he walked outside the gate of the county government office, Lin Tailai wanted to discuss the five hundred taels of silver project with Mrs. Fan.
The reason is very simple. Lady Fan has gone to such great lengths to invest in herself, which means that it is really possible for her to get herself an investment of five hundred taels, otherwise it would not be worth the effort.
Madam Fan looked behind Lin Tailai and said with a half-smile: "Are you sure you want to talk now? I think we should go to the school book office tomorrow to talk!"
Huang Xiaomei, who was demoted to Leji and released in court, was following Lin Tailai in depression.
Although she was released, Huang Xiaomei still felt that she had lost and lost miserably.
Brother Lin is a loyal man and may not be aware of the flash of swords between women, but how could Huang Suzhen not see that this Widow Fan has a vicious heart!
Although she originally made a living by accompanying drinks and selling jokes, she was still a good citizen in her household registration book, so she could pledge herself to him without any repayment.
As a result, Widow Fan suddenly jumped out to disrupt the situation and made her Huang Suzhen a happy student. In this way, even if she followed Brother Lin, she would not have a reputation.
The good and the bad are incompatible, and at best they can just hang around with no reputation and no status, with almost no future!
After Mrs. Fan finished speaking, she glanced at Xiaomei Huang provocatively. What resources does a drunken girl have? She still wants to steal a man from her?
Then she walked away with the confidence of a winner.
Even though Huang Xiaomei was unwilling to do so, she could only bite her silver teeth without saying a word. She said silently in her heart, thirty years to the east of the river and thirty years to the west of the river, don't bully a young girl into poverty!
Lin Tai turned around and said to Huang Xiaomei: "Why are you still following me?"
Huang Xiaomei looked at Mrs. Fan's back, let out a bad breath, changed her mood, and directly relied on Lin Tailai:
"If you don't follow Mr. Lin, the slave family will have nowhere to go. Even if you want to return to your old business, there is no place that dares to accept a murderer to accompany you."
Being pestered by a woman who excels in your aesthetics and being pestered by an ugly man are definitely two different feelings.
Lin Tailai sighed and said naturally: "It's so pitiful, so just follow me back first."
In the south of Hengtang Town, Old Man Tang had a small courtyard where the old couple lived together. The courtyard was not big, but it also had a main house and east and west wing rooms.
After Lin Tailai was promoted to the fish market restaurant, he moved out of the Tangkou dormitory and squeezed into Old Man Tang's courtyard.
Although it is not very spacious, it is still more comfortable to live in an independent wing than to be crowded with others in a dormitory in the hall.
Otherwise, even if Lin Tailai brought Huang Xiaomei back today, he would not know where to sleep.
That night, Lin Tailai and Huang Xiaomei naturally slept on the same bed, and Huang Xiaomei also naturally moved in.
The little people at the bottom huddle together to keep warm. There is not so much sense of ritual, not so much pretentiousness, and not so much excitement.
It seemed like everything fell into place without any surprises.
The next morning, Lin Tailai, who got up a little later than usual, took the guardians around and boarded the boat to Suzhou City.
After Huang Xiaomei watched Brother Lin leave, she helped Old Man Tang's wife clean the courtyard, and then asked Old Man Tang: "Isn't Mr. Lin sitting in the fish market? Why do you always run to the city?"
Old Man Tang sighed: "Young people always love prosperity. This mountain looks higher than that mountain. I heard from the museum that only in Suzhou City is there any traffic.
Although I don’t understand what traffic is, I also said that with traffic, I can make money. And for him who is currently in a humble position, this is the fastest way.”
Huang Xiaomei said in surprise: "Does Mr. Lin just not care about the fish market?"
Old Man Tang replied helplessly: "As everyone knows, our fish market is a big treasure house, which contains a lot of wealth.
But I only got a taste of it by sitting in the restaurant. I charged some health fees and stall fees, so I didn’t have the intention to dig deeper.”
I don’t know if Old Man Tang meant what he said, but Huang Xiaomei sounded interested and asked again: "Can the slave family go to the fish market?"
Old Man Tang said with a smile: "What's wrong with this? You are a woman sitting in a hotel, and you can do more things than me!"
Huang Xiaomei then said coquettishly: "What are you talking about, old man? I just want to see Master Lin's inheritance, so as not to know nothing and be laughed at."
At this time, there are already about ten new people in the fish market to maintain order, all of whom are still in the probation period. They also borrowed two backbones from the hall to lead the new people.
Accompanied by Old Man Tang, Huang Xiaomei, after a round of inspection, couldn't help but sigh: "Such a big fish market, probably the largest fish market outside the city, only gets more than a dozen taels of silver in a month, it's a waste of money."
Old Man Tang admired Xiaomei Huang more and more, and said: "Actually, there are many ways to generate income.
For example, they all use fish buckets in their transactions. I thought that we could also make a private fish bucket that is smaller than the official fish bucket, but has the same nominal name.
Anyone who wants to sell fish privately should pay a little more fee and get a few more taels per month."
Huang Xiaomei pointed to a basket of salted fish not far away, "A few more taels of silver doesn't mean anything. In fact, after looking around, I found that there is a lot of money in it!"
Old Man Tang encouraged him and said, "Do you have any new ideas? You might as well tell me."
Huang Xiaomei expressed her new idea: "Salt must be used to make salted fish. Salt is an indispensable necessity for them.
From now on, the fish market can stipulate that if you want to sell salted fish here, you must buy salt from us!
No matter who sells one hundred kilograms of salted fish at the fish market, we must purchase four kilograms of salt!
If 10,000 kilograms of salted fish are sold in the fish market every day, we can sell 400 kilograms of salt to match it!"
Old Man Tang immediately understood, "The official salt price is two cents per catty. We can buy private salt at four to five cents and then force-sell it to them at the official salt price!"
In this way, you can earn more than one cent per catty, three or four taels per day, and no less than a hundred taels per month, which is ten times your current income!"
Huang Xiaomei added: "I heard that all the salt collectors in the county have the task of underwriting official salt. We can find a salt collector to cooperate.
It’s safer to buy two thousand kilograms of official salt every month as a cover, and use private salt for the rest. It’s also a dream for those salty people.”
The more we chatted, the more feasible it seemed to be possible. Old Tang rubbed his hands, feeling as excited as an old man making a teenager crazy while chatting.
After spending a lifetime in clubs and watching fish fights for half a lifetime, this horse-riding guy has finally discovered the feeling of bullying and dominating the market, buying and selling by force!
Those who trade illegal salt for tens of thousands of kilograms a month are the underworld!
The sanitation fees and stall fees are just childish, they are so weak!
This charming little girl Huang is very capable. She really dares to make money if she has it. The idea is more like sitting in a restaurant than sitting in a restaurant!
He is indeed a ruthless character who dared to kill He Yitang Wu Yikui and escaped unscathed!
She is indeed a woman who dares to say in court that Lin Zuoguan has a strong body and a simple mind!
