Xing Nong: "The compensation is whatever the master says."
Ren Zilin suddenly felt under tremendous pressure!
He doesn't even know what's going on!
Ren Zilin looked at Li Yong and asked, "How much did Miss Shen's family lose?"
Li Yong thought for a moment and said, "Ms. Li dumped all the refined rice, flour, oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar from Miss Shen's house all over the floor. These things should be worth about three taels in total. In addition, Mrs. Li also threw out all the pots, pans, clothes, shoes, and furniture from Miss Shen's house. They were all over the floor. They were all old things that had been used for many years. I don't know how much they are worth."
Li Yong thought of something and added, "Miss Shen's family has some seafood, such as squid and shrimp, about one pound each."
Xing Nong added, "My mother was frightened by Li and became ill. Do you want medical expenses and compensation for mental damage?"
Li heard this and said, "Pah! Your mother is a lunatic to begin with. What does her madness have to do with me? Your mother was unfaithful to her husband and had an affair with a wild man. She had a bastard like you and was put in a pig cage. She was scared to death! She went crazy and asked me to pay for her medical expenses. You..."
Ren Zilin frowned and reached out to take the gavel.
Shen Mingzhu's heart skipped a beat and she blurted out, "Grandma!"
Shen Mingzhu winked at Li hard!
Her bottom still hurts, and she doesn't want to be spanked again! Stop talking nonsense!
Li came to her senses and quickly fell silent. She kowtowed to Ren Zilin and said, "Sir, those things in her house are all rags that have been used for hundreds of years. How much can they be worth? They are worthless! And those thousand-year-old dried fish are probably already rotten and worthless!"
Xing Nong didn't say anything.
Chu Tiankuo wrote down the details while saying calmly, "You've used this old thing for hundreds of years? It's an antique from the previous dynasty. It's worth at least a hundred taels."
Li: “…”
"Dried squid and shrimp are seafood delicacies and are very expensive. The thousand-year-old squid and shrimp are almost spirits! They are rare treasures! They are priceless! They are worth at least a thousand gold."
Chu Tiankuo said this and looked at Ren Zilin: "Sir, the total amount of antiques and rare treasures must be 1,800 taels to barely cover the loss."
Li: “…”
One thousand eight hundred taels
This is simply robbery!
Li almost fainted when she heard this.
Shen Mingzhu: "..."
She didn’t think her grandmother was stupid before, but now she was sure that her grandmother was very stupid!
Xing Nong immediately thought that this senior brother was so cute. She nodded seriously and said, "All the items in the house are old things left by our ancestors."
Isn’t the deceased maternal grandfather an ancestor
However, many things in the house were bought by Shen Zhongshan, and Gu really treasured them very much.
When the person you love is gone, the things he or she left behind are naturally priceless treasures.
This is something that cannot be bought back even with money.
Ren Zilin almost burst out laughing. He seemed to see the humorous, mischievous and infuriating prince when he was young.
I haven't seen him like this in many years.
He coughed, suppressed his smile, and said seriously: "Antiques from the previous dynasty, divine-level squid and shrimp, rare in the world, and indeed of extraordinary value. Then I will compensate... ..."
Li was almost scared to death, and waved her hands hurriedly, "No, no, sir, I was wrong! It's not an antique that has been used for hundreds of years. It's a pile of broken bowls and chopsticks that have been used for many years, and broken copper and iron. The squid is not a thousand-year-old squid, but an ordinary squid! It's worthless! How can it be worth 18000 taels?!"
"Pa!" Ren Zilin's handsome face turned stern. He slammed the gavel and angrily shouted, "Li, you have gone back on your word many times and talked nonsense in court. Are you trying to tease me? Isn't this enough?!"
Shen Mingzhu was so scared that she clenched her buttocks!
She doesn't want it!
"I dare not! I am innocent! How dare I tease you, sir? I was just talking nonsense just now..." Li knelt down with a plop, she was so scared that she could not speak coherently.
Why does it get more miserable the more you talk
It would be fine if he was sent to jail, but he also had to be fined several thousand taels
Is this not enough to let people survive
Her family is rich, but a few hundred taels is not a small amount of money!
Shen Mingzhu was so angry that her heart ached. This was simply a disaster scene!
She took a deep breath, endured the pain in her buttocks, bent down and kowtowed, and said in an orderly manner: "My lord, please understand, my grandmother never meant to tease you, she just said something a little exaggerated.
The things in cousin Xingnong's house are just old things that have been used for many years, and they are definitely not antiques. Our Shen family is originally a farmer, how could we have antiques from the previous dynasty
As for the thousand-year-old squid and shrimp, they don't exist in this world. My grandmother was just exaggerating! Please investigate! If you don't believe me, you can ask the officials who went to search the house how much silver the things in Cousin Xingnong's house are worth. "
Ren Zilin looked at Li Yong and said, "Tell me."
Zhou Qiang knew that the Li family had a good relationship with the county magistrate, so he rushed to say, "Your Excellency, it is indeed a worthless old item."
Li Yong thought of something: "Sir, the set of bowls in Miss Shen's house seems to be produced by Zhang's porcelain kiln."
Ren Zilin was a little surprised when he heard this: "Zhang's porcelain kiln is famous in four countries. Unfortunately, the porcelain from Zhang's porcelain kiln was no longer produced twenty years ago. But because of this, every piece of porcelain from Zhang's porcelain kiln is very expensive now. The older it is, the more expensive it is."
Ren Zilin looked at Xing Nong and asked, "Miss Shen, is the bowl in your house from the Zhang porcelain kiln?"
Xingnong suddenly recalled the original owner's memory. When the original owner was a child, Gu always said that the bowls and plates in their home were made by Zhang's porcelain kiln. It seems that this Zhang's porcelain kiln should be very famous.
"Yes."
Shen Mingzhu was dumbfounded. Those broken bowls were actually from Zhang’s porcelain kiln
If I had known earlier, I would have stopped my grandma from throwing things to pieces!
Li also knew about the Zhang porcelain kiln, but how could those broken bowls of the Gu family be from the Zhang porcelain kiln
How is this possible
"Impossible! How could the Gu family afford the bowls and plates from the Zhang porcelain kiln?"
Chu Tiankuo: "Whether it is true or not, you can just send someone to bring back some fragments and we'll know."
Ren Zilin glanced at Chu Tiankuo and asked, "Send someone to check on the junior sister's house?"
Is it him who wants to go and see
Ren Zilin nodded and said, "Master, you are familiar with the porcelain from Zhang's porcelain kiln. How about you take someone to take a look?"
Chu Tiankuo gave him a cold look before saying, "Okay."
He had not originally intended to go there in person, but it might be a good idea to go and take a look, just to find out the truth.
Why does a small peasant family have Zhang's porcelain
After Ren Zilin finished speaking, he thought about how Meihua Village was about a quarter of an hour's ride from the county town. By the way, he also wanted to visit his junior sister's home.
Ren Zilin said directly: "As for the compensation issue, I'd better go and see it myself! Come, put Li in jail."
Shen Mingzhu: "..."
Mr. County Magistrate, would you please go and take a look in person
Why is this county magistrate a little different
Is it because you are too young and inexperienced
Li: “…”
Why is she still in jail
"Yes, sir!" Two yamen runners immediately took Li away.
Li was so scared that she struggled hard: "Sir, spare my life! Sir, don't you know how much silver you have to pay? I'll go and listen, and I'll pay it..."
No one paid any attention to her!
Soon Li was taken away.
In the end, everyone only heard Li crying out loudly: "Mingzhu, Mingzhu, you must save grandma!"
Shen Mingzhu closed her eyes: So stupid!
Ren Zilin stood up: "Master, let's go!"
