Wen Jiaxiang and Wen Jiagui left the house and walked to the town, neither of them mentioned calling Wen Jiarui.

They really can't do such an unkind thing.

When he arrived in town, Wen Jiagui took Wen Jiaxiang back to the pharmacy and went to sleep.

"Second brother, why don't you go to see your aunt? What about the elder brother?"

"Look, but go to Fucheng now, the gates are closed, can you go in? Let's sleep for a while and arrive before the gates open tomorrow."

His mother is not clear, they will be forced out by her if they don't come out.

But they can't be so stupid, they really obediently hurried to Fucheng overnight to find someone.

It's useless to go!

Wen Jiaxiang touched his head: "Second brother is more thoughtful."

——

the next day

Outside the dungeon, above the court, Nalan Jinnian sat lazily under the upright plaque, with one hand on the table, playing with Tangmu, looking cynical.

The county magistrate knelt on the ground, with cold sweat on his forehead: "King Jin spare your life, the lower official does not know that it is the jade mine that the prince has already bought, and the yacha said that he can buy it, and the lower official will let him sell it to Wen Jiafu.

Li Wei in the yamen can attest to this! The lower official thought that he could increase some income for the yamen. Now is the slack season for the farming season, and the lower officials thought about spending an extra sum of money to build the river embankment, so that the people would be more secure in the coming year. "

After Nalan Jinnian heard this, he glanced at him directly: "Oh? It's rare that the county magistrate has such a heart to benefit the common people."

"Xiaguan is the county magistrate, and it is the responsibility of the lower official to seek well-being for the people."

Nalan Jinnian nodded: "That's right! Since the yamen people don't know that the jade mine has been bought by this king, which has caused more than one mine to be sold! As the so-called ignorant person is not guilty, this king will not care about this matter! "

The county magistrate heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly kowtowed: "Your Highness is wise."

"However" Nalan Jinnian changed the conversation: "My jade mine has already been mined half by you, and you have to compensate this king for this part of the loss!"

Hearing this, the county magistrate nodded: "It should be! Then the 30,000 taels bought for the jade mine will not be taken back by the lower official. How about giving the prince as compensation?"

That inferior jade mine should be given to King Jin! It's good to be able to make friends with King Jin for one or two times.

Nalan Jinnian didn't speak, and continued to play with Tangmu with one hand, looking at the county magistrate so coldly.

Ouyang Huai'an slapped the table hard: "Master Li, King Jin's one is an emerald jade mine! Any piece you open is a rough jadeite, and that jadeite is a good quality jadeite of imperial green. You should pay 30,000 taels to King Jin? Is it to send beggars?"

The county magistrate was taken aback and hurriedly kowtowed: "Xiaguan dare not, but the raw stone from the jade mine is not jade, but all inferior jade!"

If the compensation is based on the rough jadeite, how much money will he have to pay?

"Nonsense! That jade mine is obviously jade, but you actually want to deceive King Jin! You are so bold!"

The county magistrate was simply unjustly killed: "Xiaguan is frightened, my lord, that jade mine is really bad quality jade! If you don't believe me, you can send someone to open a few pieces and cut them out to see! You don't dare to deceive the lord!"

Nalan Jinnian sneered: "In order to prevent Master Li from saying that this king uses power to oppress others and threatens Master Li to pay this king a huge amount of compensation, now I will take Master Li there to open a few rough stones and show him that this king's seat is jadeite. Jade mines are still inferior jade mines!”

So the county magistrate was taken to the jade mine where a part of it was mined. Under his own eyes, he opened a few rough stones and cut them out on the spot. The blocks were bright green and crystal clear! Very typical good emerald!

Ouyang Huai'an looked at the county magistrate and snorted coldly, "Master Li, what else do you have to say?"

Magistrate: ""

The county magistrate felt that he was about to be unjustly killed: "Master Hui, all the jade that Xiaguan has opened are really inferior jade! If Xianguan makes a false statement, the sky will be struck by thunder! This may be because Xiaguan has just finished opening the bad jade. , now a good jade finally appears!"

"What nonsense!" Ouyang Huai'an was furious!

"Li Huaien, you, Wen Jiafu and others mistakenly mined King Jin's jade mine. This official ordered you..."

In the end, the county magistrate, Wen Jiafu and Song Guiqiang were fined to compensate Nalan Jinnian 200,000 taels, plus the 30,000 taels for buying jade mines, totaling 230,000 taels of silver.

The county magistrate's heart wants to die!

200,000 taels, he has been the county magistrate for so many years, and he has been greedy for about 100,000 taels, and now he has to post 130,000 taels!

Wen Jiafu was locked in jail for two days and one night before he was released.

Although he was not tortured to extort a confession in prison, he lived in the worst cell, and it is no exaggeration to say that it was a rat's nest.

Forget it, the next door is still a lunatic. I don’t know how to get into his cell from the next cell. His hair is disheveled. His entire face was scratched with blood, and he couldn’t see his face clearly. His life!

Later, a prison guard came to pull him away, and he saved his life, otherwise he would have died in prison!

Later, the madman was chained up by the prison guard, but every now and then, he suddenly screamed that a ghost was coming!

People in another cell were there telling stories in the middle of the night about how a prisoner died in his cell, and how the last one died.

Every now and then a mouse would come and bite.

It just drives people crazy!

It made him nervous, and he felt a gloomy wind all night, as if something was close to him.

Physically and mentally devastated!

The old man Wen looked at his eldest son with a pig-headed face and a haggard face. He walked out of the prison after a great ordeal, and tears fell all at once!

His son suffers!

"Father!" Wen Jiafu saw the sun again, and when he saw Old Man Wen jumping at him, tears came out.

Mr. Wen hugged him and patted his back: "It's okay, it's all a misunderstanding!"

Wen Yu said with red eyes, "Father, are you injured? Are you okay?"

Wen Wan smelled an odor and took a few steps back calmly.

Xiao Zhu watched her husband come out. She wiped her tears and didn't step forward: "Xiaogong, our family dug King Jin's jade mine. The county magistrate said that we and the aunt's family will pay a total of 70,000 taels!"

Seventy thousand taels? !

Wen Jiafu's eyes darkened and he fainted!

Damn it!

——

Aunt Wen Baozhen went back to the Wen family's old house and learned the news, her eyes were also blackened!

After mining the jade mine for more than half a month, I did not earn a single penny, and I had to lose another 35,000 taels!

It's just King Jin's silver, do they dare not pay?

dare not!

Zhu Shi is anxious and angry!

Their family couldn't even pay 10,000 taels back then, so where did they get 35,000 taels?

The whole family frowned.

Wen Wan lowered her head and sighed softly: "Alas, if the fourth uncle's family hadn't picked up a piece of rough jadeite, our family would not have caused such a disaster."

Little Zhu's eyes lit up.
