Biquge www.xbiquge.bz, the fastest update my princess is Doubi!
Several merchants selling threshing machines had already been invited by the yamen servants, and Tong Ruyu, who was in prison, was also brought to the lobby.
Because of Nan Nan's management, Tong Ruyu didn't suffer much in prison, but now that she came out to see Nan Nan, she felt relieved that since Nan Nan was here, he would be fine.
The official sitting in the hall is no longer the prefect, but he is a little curious, what happened?
The merchants were kneeling in a row, obviously already aware of what happened in the hall, and trembling with fright, after all, they were just working with the magistrate to oppress the common people.
"My lord, please forgive me. It was the magistrate who came to us and asked us to pay a high price for the blueprint. The villain spent five thousand taels to buy it. The villain is just doing business normally."
"Yes, the villain spent six thousand taels."
"The villain spent five thousand five hundred taels."
...
One by one, they began to yell, how much money they spent on the blueprints, and came to tell their injustices. Bai Yuan looked at several merchants, and silently calculated in his mind, this blueprint made this adult earn tens of thousands of taels.
Glancing at the original magistrate, he smiled: "My lord is really smart, you can make money this way. Of course, how many blueprints you get is not important, what matters is, how much do you sell for a threshing machine?"
The merchants seemed to be strangled in an instant, unable to utter a word, because the threshing machines in everyone's stores were very expensive, and the price was not cheap. The cheapest one was five taels of silver a piece.
Not to mention the expensive ones, and they are all for their own satisfaction first. As for why Tong Ruyu was arrested, the main reason is that they were sold too cheaply.
Compared with Tong Ruyu's selling price, the merchants naturally dare not speak. Bai Yuan looked at the crowd helplessly: "What? Look down on me? I don't answer my questions?"
The merchants were trembling with fright, and they could only honestly tell the price they sold: "The cheapest in the villain's house is 5 taels, and the expensive one is 12 taels. If you hurry up, it's 22 taels a piece." .”
After listening to the merchants' quotations, Bai Yuan smiled: "That's right, at least it didn't trick the common people. It's so expensive that the common people can't afford it. Anyway, after you are allowed to deduct your own capital for these things, the rest will only be sold for two yuan. One Baiwen, and the money you paid to buy the blueprints, even if it is the punishment this time, it is not included in the cost."
Two hundred Wen is the selling price of Tong Ruyu. Anyway, these are businessmen, and they will definitely rush to see an opportunity.
Besides, they didn't harm the poor people, so they punished them slightly. When several businessmen heard this, they immediately knelt down: "Thank you, my lord."
Bai Yuan glanced at Tong Ruyu standing there again: "Your name is Tong Ruyu, right? You are wholeheartedly thinking about the common people, and the threshing machines are not expensive. You were caught in prison by mistake. How about it? The threshing machines were all bought by the government office, one tael of silver per set, do you have any objections?"
"The threshing machine we bought is being released to the villages. Let's leave it at that. Do you have any questions? If not, you can withdraw."
What else could be wrong? These things have been dealt with, and the rest of the things cannot be dealt with here.
The original magistrate was taken into prison. When the businessman spoke just now, the magistrate did not refute a word, which is tantamount to acquiescing.
After leaving the hall, the people outside all dispersed. A group of frightened businessmen also retreated separately, and the only ones left in the hall were Mu Yexiao's family and Fang Xiaoxi's family.
Qian Jiujiu said: "Since it's all right now, shouldn't Mr. Bai move to Xianyou Town to solve the rest of the matter?"
The rest, of course, is the Shi family. Bai Yuan nodded immediately: "Yes, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, let's go to Xianyou Town now."
When a group of people came, they were grand and mighty, and when they went back, they were even more mighty and there were more people.
In Xianyou Town, since Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu were taken away, all the people in Xianyou Town are worried, such a good county magistrate, there must be nothing wrong.
Shi Feixian had sent someone to escort the old lady and the three of them back then, but the two of them were very excited and left immediately after seeing the changes in the government office. Then he ran all the way back to Shi's house, looking for Shi Feixian.
"Miss, it's not good..."
After talking about what happened in the government office, Shi Feixian also felt bad when he heard that Mu Yexiao and others were coming this way.
Immediately found his own mother, crying and told what he had done: "Mom, I really just want to teach Fang Xiaoxi a lesson, I have no malicious intentions."
Mrs. Shi Er didn't know what to say anymore. This matter is not up to her, a housewife, to decide, so she gritted her teeth and went to find Shi Chengyu.
"Master, something happened..."
Shi Chengyu was dumbfounded when he heard that, this daughter is too capable of causing trouble, but now that things have become like this, it seems that she can't even escape.
By the time Mu Yexiao and the others returned to Xianyou Town, it was already the next morning that the Shi family had prepared. As soon as he walked to Xianyou Town, he was spotted by the people in the town, and they greeted him one by one.
"My lord, you are back, are you okay?"
Seeing so many people caring about him, Mu Yexiao was still very happy in his heart, he waved his hand and looked at everyone: "I'm fine, everyone don't have to worry, go to your own business."
In the early morning, people who go out must have something to do. Although Mu Yexiao repeatedly asked people to go and do their own work, the people still excitedly sent them to the gate of the county government office.
Inside the county yamen, the yamen servants all started to work. Seeing Mu Yexiao's return, they also rushed forward happily: "Your Excellency is back."
Mu Yexiao hummed: "Go two people. When you arrive at the Shi's house, all the people from the Shi's house will be brought here."
Although the two yamen servants didn't know what happened to Shi's family, they obediently went to lead them away. Mu Yexiao looked at Bai Yuan beside him: "Master Bai wants to take the seat?"
Bai Yuan took a look at Mu Yexiao, and after confirming that Mu Yexiao was sincerely invited, he sat on the chair: "Okay, since I'm the judge, then let me sit on the chair. Get ready, let's start the ascension."
Only then did the common people see that there was an old lady and a group of people brought back together. The old lady was a little worried, and she didn't know if it would be useful to roll around?
Fang Xiaoxi's family and the old lady all knelt down: "I have met you, sir."
Bai Yuanen said: "Magistrate Mu should also find a place to sit, and wait for the people from the Shi family to be brought up to deal with them."
Tong Ruyu also came back. After all, there are already people selling threshing machines in Fucheng. If the business opportunity is missed, there will be no chance. It is better to come back directly.
Tong Ruyan still lives in the county government these days, when she heard her brother coming back, she rushed up directly: "Brother, you are back."
Tong Ruyu said kindly: "I'm back, it's fine, let's stand aside. Don't disturb your lord's trial here."
The two brothers and sisters went to the side to catch up on the old days, and soon all the members of the Shi family were brought. The people who came together, besides Shi Chengyu and his wife and daughter, Shi Chenglin also brought his wife.
He just wanted to see who had the guts to bring his family to the hall even though he knew he was an official in the capital.
Just looking at Bai Yuan sitting on the main seat, he was stunned for a moment: "Master Bai, why did you come to this place?"
Bai Yuan cast a glance at Shi Chenglin: "It turns out that it is really Lord Shi. At first, I thought it was a misunderstanding! I didn't expect it to be true, and Lord Shi would do such a thing."
Hearing these words, Shi Chenglin felt a little uneasy in his heart, and looked at Bai Yuan: "What does Master Bai mean?"
Bai Yuan waved his hand: "Master Shi, stand aside and watch for now, and you will know what happened after the case is heard by the officer."
"Old lady, all the members of the Shi family have been brought here. Since you said you were from the Shi family and threatened you to go to Fucheng to file a complaint, then you should identify them."
The yamen servants are quite serious in their work. The people from the Shi family that the adults said, they didn't even spare a cleaning servant, so they brought them together.
The old lady stood up and walked back and forth in front of the Shi family, trying to find out who was leading them. It turned out that there were no these two people at all, and he couldn't help frowning, but saw a little girl.
"She, it's her. It's the money she gave us, and she arranged for someone to take us to Fucheng."
The person who was identified was none other than the maid beside Shi Feixian, and she followed Madam Shi from the capital. The moment she was identified, she knew that she was finished.
Shi Chenglin still doesn't know what happened, "No, Master Bai, what's going on? Who is this old lady?"
Seeing that someone was identified, Bai Yuan was in a good mood, so he explained: "This old lady sued her son for being unfilial in the magistrate's yamen, but it was found false by the judge, so she said it was from your house. People forced her to go. As a commoner, she is only obedient, and now even people have been found."
Shi Chenglin's face was very ugly, he had only been back for a few days, how could the people in the house do such a thing? Unless someone from the second brother's family made it, but she identified it and brought it from Kyoto.
Looking at the maid who was identified: "Say, what's going on?"
The servant girl knew in her heart that she was finished, but she still wanted to quibble: "Master, this servant has been wronged. After this servant came to Shi's house, she has been following the girl and never goes out at all. How could she know this old lady?" .”
"Old lady, don't wrong people indiscriminately, this servant has never seen you before."
