"Bring it up!"
Seeing this, Ji Ye suddenly clapped his hands.
Suddenly, two iron pagodas walked out of the county government office holding large trays covered with red cloth.
"As we said, we didn't kill anyone at all."
"However, our horses ran too fast when they entered the city and were still unable to stop when they reached the street. It did cause a certain amount of chaos and injured some people. In the chaos, maybe your brother was hit The injury may have been carried away by the crowd!"
"To express our apology, our 'Dragon City Chamber of Commerce' is willing to give you some compensation."
"Wow!"
The red cloth on a tray was lifted, and the hall suddenly became dazzling with golden light.
Because, on top of the plate, five layers of gold ingots were revealed, each ingot containing gold ingots the size of a baby's fist!
"Each injured person can receive twelve taels of gold as compensation."
"In addition, I will give you two fifty taels of gold each to support Li Laosi's family, and Magistrate Guo will help bear witness!"
Ji Ye remembered that "A Chinese Ghost Story" was used as the background of the movie. Prices seemed to be much higher than in normal history, but no matter what the price was, the value of the plate of gold in front of him was amazing.
"this… "
The eyes of several injured "witnesses" suddenly became straight, unable to turn away when looking at the gold.
They were only affected by some debris, and the injuries were not serious at all, especially for people who spent all day hacking and killing people in Guobei County. However, the "Ten Liang Gold" was enough for them to eat and drink. , and I have been visiting brothels every night for several months!
"I remembered that I was actually hit."
"Yes, the scene was very chaotic. I was knocked to the ground and scratched by my own knife."
Soon, these people changed their stories one after another.
"We... we..."
Even Li Laosi's two brothers' eyes turned purple, and they couldn't help but swallow their saliva when looking at the pile of gold.
If my brother dies, let him die. Death is very common here in Guobei County. If my brother's death can be exchanged for a hundred taels of gold compensation.
They said without hesitation that if they could, they would drag their brother up and die a hundred more times!
"snort!"
However, just when they were about to agree, a cold snort suddenly sounded from the crowd watching behind them.
A one-eyed middle-aged man with half-closed eyes was cold, and he was followed by several rather fierce people.
"It's the second-in-command of the Jiaolong Gang who is here to monitor these people!"
A white light flashed in the mind-reading eyes, and he said something to Ji Ye.
Obviously, facing such a large tray of gold, the "witnesses and accusers" were all moved, but they were in trouble because they were afraid of being retaliated by the Jiaolong Gang.
"By the way, sir, what should be the punishment for this innocent and false accusation against others..."
Ji Ye suddenly smiled and spoke.
"If you accuse someone falsely in this court, you should be punished with a hundred rods and banished for three thousand miles. However, if you accuse someone wrongly without clarifying the situation, and it is not an intentional false accusation, you only need to be jailed for ten days and fined ten taels of silver. That’s it!”
Magistrate Guo himself was also a human spirit, and he immediately said with a serious expression.
"You two, please tell me, is Mr. Li really dead? Or because you couldn't find him, you listened to other people's rumors and wrongly sued the 'Dragon City Chamber of Commerce'..."
"It's a mistake, it's a mistake..."
Li Lao Er and Li Lao Wu looked at each other and then nodded fiercely with joyful expressions on their faces.
"Okay, since there is no body at all and the plaintiff has withdrawn the lawsuit, I declare this case closed."
"Come here, take them into custody and keep them under strict supervision..."
Seeing that these two people "recognized each other", County Magistrate Guo was obviously quite satisfied, and said with a heavy slap on his face.
"snort!"
Among the crowd, the second leader of the Jiaolong Gang looked gloomy and stared at Ji Ye coldly.
This made Magistrate Guo feel even more satisfied.
By doing this, the Dragon City Chamber of Commerce has undoubtedly slapped the "Jiaolong Gang" in the face in public and directly cut off the possibility of cooperation between the two parties.
In fact, if we go one step further and let these two people confess that they were instructed by the Jiaolong Gang, the effect will definitely be better. However, County Magistrate Guo obviously did not want to directly conflict with the Jiaolong Gang, so he directly announced the closure of the case!
"Thank you, master, thank you, master!"
Looking at the two Li brothers holding gold tightly in their hands, they were escorted away by the yamen.
Mr. Guo's heart was filled with contempt.
You are such an idiot, thinking that you are just targeting the Jiaolong Gang and putting them in jail to protect them. How could you know that as long as you are in jail, you will be considered good if you can only have ten taels left of the one hundred taels of gold in your hands!
…
However, the case is closed.
But the large number of people surrounding the county government office did not leave directly.
Because, in addition to the pile of wounds and the plate of gold given to Li Laosan and Lao Wu, Tiefutu also held another red cloth tray.
"By the way, our store encountered bandits on the way and lost some manpower. We decided to recruit some guards from Guobei County!"
And Ji Ye didn't keep these people waiting.
I directly opened another tray, but it was more densely arranged than the previous one, with ten taels of gold ingots each!
"Recruiting guards?"
"Ha, we have a lot of experts in Guobei County. What kind of price can you offer?"
Some people's expressions changed, and their eyes stared at the golden road on the tray.
"This person is the 'Guard Commander' of our Chamber of Commerce. Anyone who can survive one move in his hands can join."
"Everyone who joins will be given ten taels of gold as a settlement fee. In addition, there will be a monthly salary of one tael of gold. If you perform well, there will be additional rewards!"
Ji Ye pointed at Dian Wei who was standing next to him.
"So simple?"
"It only takes one move, that's too easy!"
Hearing this, many of the onlookers were immediately moved.
"Our martial arts skills vary from high to low. You said you can get one tael of gold for each move in his hands. What if you can get through more than one move?"
"Yes, although this man looks very tall, but with my Liu Laoliu's 'Tiger Roaring Sword Technique', not to mention one sword, even ten moves are no problem, so what the hell does that mean?"
Some people are more confident and think that they can hold on to many moves under Dian Wei.
"If you can pass two moves, your monthly salary will be ten taels. If you can pass three moves, you can receive one hundred gold per month."
"By analogy, there is no upper limit!"
Ji Ye said.
"What, no limit?"
"Wouldn't that mean that as long as you go through four moves, you can get one thousand taels per month, and five moves and ten thousand taels?"
All of a sudden, the faces of a bunch of Guo Beicheng's swordsmen were completely excited.
