Chapter 1311 When You Cry
"Bang!"
Prefect Ji took a photo of the gavel and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Looking at the three people kneeling down in the hall, he asked, "Do you know your guilt?"
If you have all your offerings, can you still not know your guilt?
Mr. Ning and the two servants quickly lowered their heads and said in unison: "The villain knows the crime."
"Since I have known the crime, I will pronounce the sentence."
The two servants were sentenced to one year of hard labor for arson.
Hard labor usually goes to quarries to smash stones. Ordinary people have wages, but those who do hard labor do not have wages. If they don’t do well, they will be beaten.
As the servant, Ning Erye has two ways of judging him. One is to compensate the owner of Chashan for his losses and to serve hard labor for one year, and the other is to exile for three thousand miles and not be allowed to return to Jiangzhou City for ten years.
He served hard labor and compensated for the losses, and this man came back after suffering for a year.
This exile for three thousand miles is basically dead.
The Ning family members did not expect that the prefect was judged to be so heavy that they had to serve hard labor even after accompanying them.
Without thinking, Mr. Ning said, "I will pay the money, I will pay the money."
It's just four thousand taels of silver. The thin camel is bigger than a horse, so his Ning family can still take it out.
Although I still have to work hard, I can at least save my life.
The road to exile is very difficult. If it weren't for a strong body or a tough life, few people could reach the end.
Many times, a group of exiled people walk to the exile place, and only one-third of them are left.
Mr. Ning did not have the confidence to survive, and the Ning family did not have the confidence to him either.
Master Ning also said: "Our Ning family will pay the money."
"Shen, do you have any idea how much is your tea mountain loss?"
Lord Ji looked at Shen Wan and asked.
Shen Wan nodded: "Some."
Take out the orders I made last night.
"You read it to the people of the Ning family."
"good.
Cough cough..." Shen Wan cleared her throat and said loudly: "There are 30,000 tea trees and 5,000 flowers and trees on the Tea Mountain.
Although only half of the burned, the rest was smoked and it was probably not a problem, so all these 30,000 tea trees and flowers were compensated."
The Ning family "..." They didn't expect that they would pay compensation like this.
After hearing this, Lord Ji nodded and said, "It is indeed worth compensation."
"Wait..." Master Ning stretched out his hand and said, "If I remember correctly, there are only more than 10,000 tea trees on our Ning family tea mountain."
"There are only 10,000, but after I bought it, I bought another 20,000 tea trees and 5,000 flowers and trees to plant them on the tea mountain."
Shen Wan looked out of the court and said, "Everyone in Chashan Village can testify."
Hearing Shen Wan say this, people from Chashan Village say, "That's right, we can testify."
Village Chief Bai walked to the court, knelt on the ground and said, "Baishan, the village chief of Chashan Village, paid homage to the prefect.
The villagers in my village were hired by Shen Dongjia to help take care of the tea mountain, pick tea, and make tea.
After Shen Dong’s family bought the tea mountain, they did plant 20,000 tea trees and more than 5,000 flowers and trees, and all the villagers in my village can testify.”
Lord Ji nodded, saying that he knew and believed what he said.
He raised his hand and said, "Captain Bai, get up quickly!"
"Sir Xie."
The head of village Bai thanked him and stood up.
Master Ning had nothing to say and took a small step back.
Shen Wan continued: "When I bought the tea tree, it was twenty cents per tree. With the original tea tree, I can only buy the tea tree at the price.
Thirty thousand trees and twenty cents per plant, that would be six hundred taels of silver.”
Mrs. Ning nodded to Master Ning. The tea tree was only 600 taels of silver, and the flowers and trees were only 5,000, which was probably only a few dozen taels of silver. They couldn't even pay a thousand taels of silver.
The three members of the Ning family all showed joy on their faces. They liked this compensation method very much.
