The country sends a daughter-in-law? Come and take a dozen, take them all

Chapter 296 Shocking the Heavenly Being

Lin Xiaofan took the gold, weighed it twice in his hands, then looked at the people outside and asked:

"My fellow villagers, this piece of gold weighs at least five taels. If it is exchanged for silver taels, it can be exchanged for fifty taels of silver. I would like to ask you, how long will it take you to save fifty taels of silver?"

For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the audience.

"Fifty taels of silver? I can't save it in my lifetime."

"I may not be able to save two taels of silver in a good harvest year."

In this era, making money is not easy. The policeman was considered a fat man. He only had fifteen taels of silver a day, four hundred and fifty cents a month, and five taels of silver plus four hundred cents a year. Even if you don't eat or drink, it will take nearly ten years to save.

But how much does each person spend on just eating in a day? There are always children to feed at home, right? Calculated this way, it may not be able to save in twenty or thirty years.

The yamen servant only had ten coins a day, but he could not save fifty taels of silver in his whole life. But even for such a job, there are still people rushing to do it.

"Let me ask you, what is your job? How long does it take to save fifty taels of silver?"

Lin Xiaofan stared at the aunt and said with a sneer.

The aunt looked at Lin Xiaofan's eyes and was speechless.

Her job is to extort money, how can she say this? Moreover, she has been doing this business for four or five years and has only saved twenty or thirty taels of silver.

This time she saw such a big piece of gold, and then saw that it was a little girl in rags, and she immediately went up to grab it in a daze. Since there were no accomplices around, the girl clung to her and eventually made trouble in the government office.

I thought it would be okay to enter the yamen. Anyway, the county magistrate seldom cares about this matter. Even if he does, there is no way to judge this kind of thing.

But who would have thought that the county magistrate would reveal her flaws with just one sentence.

At this time, she was completely panicked.

"Let me ask you, if you have fifty taels of silver in your hands, and someone robs it on the street, and you rob it with him, and finally both of you come to the Yamen. I will give you twenty-five taels on each side, are you willing?"

Lin Xiaofan looked at the people outside.

"Then we must chase him back!"

"This is all hard-earned money, how can you give others an advantage?"

"I definitely don't agree!"

People expressed their opinions one after another.

Are you kidding me? Fifty taels of silver, save a little and you can last a lifetime. Even if someone puts a knife to their neck, they can't hand it over.

Immediately, everyone understood.

Yes, this is a total of twenty-five taels of silver. Ordinary people cannot save it in their lifetime. If it was really this aunt, the moment Lin Xiaofan made the decision, she was probably more anxious than anyone else. How could she say it in an understatement, let’s just say this. .

Look at the little girl's reaction, this is what a normal person should have.

Seeing that the people all understood, Lin Xiaofan immediately reprimanded:

"So, pull this guy out and hit him twenty times again."

This time, no one had any objections, but everyone scolded her.

"It should be beaten. If you dare to snatch someone's life-saving money, beating him to death is not an exaggeration."

"Looking at her like this, she must be a habitual offender. For a person like this, it would be easy to hit her twenty times."

"It's best to kill a person like this."

The people in the audience were scolding, not because they were extreme, but mainly because the county magistrate had been stupid over the years. For cases like this, who would be sentenced depended solely on the county magistrate's mood, which made the sneaky people even more rampant. Many people have suffered losses at their hands, but there is nothing they can do.

"My lord, spare your life, Lord Magistrate, please spare me. I was just obsessed for a moment, and I will never dare to do this again. Please spare me this time."

The aunt begged.

Twenty big boards, if an ordinary person plays it, he might become disabled. But at this time, she had no reason to argue.

Lin Xiaofan didn't pay attention, and the servant who dragged him didn't stop. Soon, there were screams and cheers from the people outside.

"Fortunately, County Magistrate Lin is here, otherwise we would have been able to trick this person."

"The way Magistrate Lin settled this case is simply amazing. I just said that Magistrate Lin couldn't resolve the case. Damn it!"

"Yeah, when that person came forward to help testify, I was deceived."

"By the way, where was that person just now?"

The people reacted one after another and immediately began to look for the accomplice. When he was found, the man had already sneaked to the edge of the crowd.

"catch him!"

The people on the scene took action one after another to control the accomplice and escort him to the lobby again.

"He also hits 20 boards."

Lin Xiaofan said, such a person does not deserve sympathy.

"Is there anyone else who wants to report it to the official? This county magistrate will deal with it today."

After waiting for a long time, no one spoke, so Lin Xiaofan continued:

"In that case, then you all should disperse. If there is any injustice in the future, come to the Yamen and see the county magistrate, and I will give you justice."

Upon hearing this, many people knew that there was no excitement to watch, and they all retreated obediently.

However, they were not idle after returning. They all went to their neighbors and spoke impassionedly about Lin Xiaofan's sentencing process. The look of spitting was as if they had judged it themselves.

Mainly because of Lin Xiaofan's skill, in their eyes, it was simply astonishing. Moreover, corrupt officials have always been in power in Degao County, making their lives very difficult. Lin Xiaofan's appearance gave them a glimmer of hope.

The emotions that have been suppressed for many years are uncontrollably wanted to be released at this moment.

In just one morning, everyone in Degao Town knew that their new county magistrate was a good official. Not only did he make his attitude clear from the moment he came up, no one in the yamen could accept corruption or bribery anymore, everyone in the city who made a mistake would be dealt with according to the national law, and his level of adjudication was also unparalleled.

I just wonder if the county magistrate can lower the tax in the future.

Although this is unlikely, they still have a little more hope. For those born in this era, this is enough to satisfy them.

But Lin Xiaofan didn't know all this. He was sitting in his "office", constantly flipping through the documents on the table and tapping the desk with his hands, feeling a little bored. However, considering that today is his first day in office, it would be better for him to stay here for one full day.

As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun is not so dazzling, but it can dye the house into the color of dusk.

Just when Lin Xiaofan was thinking about when he could get off work, there was a knock on the door.

Song Shang, who was also bored at the side, quickly stood up and went to open the door. Since Lin Xiaofan has difficulty moving now, he has been accompanying him all the time.

"Brother Song."

"Brother Song Shang."

Two familiar voices sounded outside the door.
