Chapter 659
The scholar Qi Ke hired put all his strength into presenting the facts and reasoning and bargaining.

In the previous content of the pleadings, Tang Yun believed that the damage to Qi Ke’s reputation was caused by his Tang family. He did not deny this, but at the same time, he could not tell what their motives were for cheating Qi Ke. In my heart, I vaguely felt that my sister-in-law and Qi Ke had a grievance at some point. In order to protect my family's reputation, I could only infer that the family members were confused and did stupid things with their mouths.

Naturally, no one would believe this kind of reason. The family just talked about suing, but actually sent someone to the government to sue. It is two completely different things. Tang Yun bought mountain goods from Qi Ke several times. I know very well whether Qi Ke has ever sold poisonous fungus, but I still allow my family to falsely accuse Qi Ke, causing today's honorary lawsuit.

Tang Yun fully accepted such accusations. He did not defend himself, and focused on the final compensation. 500 taels was too high for him. Donglin County, a small county near the sea that is poor and lacks food, The name of the wealthy family sounds good, but in fact, when you go to the outer county, you are a moderately prosperous family. It is terrible to pay 500 taels of cash at a time. Such a sum of money can buy hundreds of acres of land.

But the reasons in the pleadings are sufficient, and there is no meaning of blackmail between the lines. Qi is a worthless military household, a small village official appointed by General Bai, her face is worthless, so how much is the face of a first-rank general in the court worth? money?

In such a comparison, both the county lord and the chief bookkeeper at the side felt that the compensation of 500 taels was low, and even 1000 taels was not too much.

Tang Yun was sweating profusely, and the name of General Bai stood in front of him, making it difficult for him to say anything beneficial to him. The housekeeper behind him knew that the situation was over, and his face was anxious, and he couldn't help him either. In my heart, I was already thinking about how to reduce the family's expenses after the money was taken out, and what to do about the future of the dying second master and second bedroom, not to mention the need for money for the family's livelihood.

The county lord and Xue Bazong who sat on it could see that Tang Yun had lost. Although they didn't know whether the Tang family could afford the money, if he couldn't tell what the compensation was unreasonable, The 500 taels are about to be settled.

In fact, the amount of money was not determined by Qi Ke, but by Zhaolin. Zhaolin knew more about the upper limit of the payment of the Tang family than Qi Ke. Anyway, he didn't plan to cooperate again in the future, so he just let them hurt once. Only by scratching your heart and lungs can you know how to think about the consequences before speaking and acting, and don't blame innocent people at will.

Therefore, Zhaolin insisted that 500 taels should not be less, and if the contradictions cannot be reconciled, the county lord should be sent to judge.

The county lord felt sorry for Tang Yun, but he didn't want to offend the Bai family army. The Tang family was the people under his rule, but the Bai family army directly pinched whether he could move safely after his term of office expired. It was self-evident.

So, after hearing enough of the back and forth conversations between the two parties below, the county lord held up the gavel and slapped the table, preparing for the last mediation, and if the mediation failed, the verdict would be pronounced.

There was no suspense in the result of the mediation. When Zhaolin proposed the calculation method of compensation with reasonable evidence, Tang Yun completely gave up struggling, because according to Zhaolin's algorithm, the 500 taels still erased more than 30 taels. For the sake of the one-year business cooperation, Qi Keren did his best.

This statement also means that the cooperative relationship between the two parties has come to an end.

The county lord saw Mr. Xue nodded his head, and he didn't delay any longer, so he pronounced the sentence.
