"We have money, tell me what you want to buy, and I'll pay for you." Li Baolut took nine silver notes and eight large silver bars with pride.

  Gu Jingyun picked out a denomination of 10 taels from the bank notes, looked at the remaining eight 100 taels bank notes, raised his eyebrows and said, "You set a price of 1,000 taels?"

   "Yeah, Qiongzhou sunrise map is priced at 100,000 taels, and the price of immortals going to the sea can't be too low."

   "Who bought the painting?"

   "Acquaintance, Bora No. He Family."

  Gu Jingyun nodded slightly, no longer asked, but looked up at her bulging chest and asked, "What's inside?"

  Li Baolu took out the cloth bag from her arms and said triumphantly, "Guess."

   "Money." The tone was very positive.

  Li Baolu pouted, "You can't guess anything else first."

   She opened the cloth bag, revealing a stack of silver notes, Gu Jingyun took a closer look, all of them were in denominations of 100 taels, and there were about 200 by visual inspection.

   "Where did it come from?"

"The Ou family had a falling out with the Yuan family. The Ou family revealed that the Yuan family had a lot of wealth. Some people were moved and came to investigate in advance. Who knew that the Yuan family did not take the gold and silver with them, but kept them in the The bank, it is even more unfortunate that the people who stepped on it found out, and they started to grab it." Li Baolu said proudly: "I went to the bank to exchange money, the whole process was not good, and I couldn't help but eat black. "

   "What are you going to do with these banknotes?"

   "Follow Master's rules, keep 10%, and leave the rest."

As a thief, Bai Yitang can be admired by Quan Wulin because of his principled nature. Unlike those thieves who rob other people's wealth and help their own poor, Bai Yitang's stealing is only enough for himself to eat and drink, and everything else is scattered. to the poor people.

   And this person loves to rob corrupt officials, otherwise he wouldn't be caught by so many people.

  Because he loves robbing corrupt officials, and most of the money goes to the people, that's why someone spoke for him during the trial, and he was only sentenced to exile on the charge of stealing. Let those officials who want to tear him into pieces can only stare.

  Bai Yitang does not worry about feeding the whole family alone. Every time he leaves a small amount of money, even when he is the poorest, he only takes 10% of the stolen money.

  Bai Yitang once warned Li Baolu that stealing money is too fast. In order not to lose yourself in this trip, you must have principles and rules.

   And Bai Yitang's rule is that you don't take any ill-gotten money, no matter how much money you take, no matter how difficult you are, you should not leave more than 10% of the money.

   So even if Li Baolu only stole ten pennies, he could only keep one pen, and the remaining nine pen must be distributed.

   Scattering money is also a very troublesome thing. Li Baolu is not short of money now, and has a moment of annoyance.

   "How do you get so much money out?"

  Gu Jingyun has already counted the silver notes, a total of 180, or 18,000 taels.

"All this money was bought for rice noodles, linen, cotton and some common medicines, and they were all sent to the temple for the monks to help the poor people in Guangzhou, especially the Yushan Hall to give more. How much did you buy?" Gu Jingyun's mouth curled up and said, "The linen was bought with the Bora. According to the time, they should have just returned from Qiongzhou, and they must have brought back linen."

   This also supports their own business.

   The two agreed, and Li Baolu calculated the quantity and approximate cost of each item to be purchased. As Gu Jingyun said, 18,000 taels is indeed not much, but just buy a few things and you're done.

  The two went out without leaving a single penny. In order not to expose themselves, Li Baolu dressed up as a man, painted her hands and face black, took the money to buy things in various stores, and sent them to the temple and Yushantang.

   So within two days, the people at the bottom of Guangzhou knew that there was a great man in Guangzhou city, who was spreading rice and noodles to the poor people through temples, including cloth and cotton medicinal materials.

  Everyone flocked to the temple.

The 18,000 taels of things disappeared in a splash, but those who didn't get the things didn't complain, but went to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha. I hope they can catch up with such good things next time. By the way, I pray for the safety of the family and a bumper harvest of food.

   Then I went home happily and contentedly.

The case that had been dragged by the Zhou Zhifu for a few days was reopened for trial. The Ou family was willing to pay compensation, but they were not willing to pay so much. There was no way. Gu Jingyun listed too many items, and they only paid a few tens of dollars for each item. Two, but a few items add up to a lot, and each person can lose about three hundred and fifty taels.

  Gu Jingyun has the least, but also has as many as eighty-two.

The most common allowances for death are funeral expenses, parental alimony, wife and children's alimony, all of which add up to 3,000 taels, not including children's education expenses, emotional injury expenses for parents, wives and children, etc. A total of eight thousand eight hundred and sixty-five taels.

   Among them, the children's education expenses are the highest, because Gu Jingyun directly counted the cost of his enlightenment to the Jinshi examination, until he was fifty years old.

Ou Tongjing almost vomited blood when he saw it, and Gu Jingyun justified his defense, "If Chang Kuan doesn't die, he will be able to support his wife and children no matter if he goes one step further or becomes an official after he succeeds in the examination, he can also provide for his son to study for the imperial examinations, and he can also support his son. He left behind a lot of family business. Now it is only a step back for us to ask Young Master Ou to pay some education expenses. If Chang Kuan is still alive, why should his wife and children worry about this?"

   There was a jury standing at the bottom of the hall, twenty-three talented people, even those as dumb as Qiao Xu could debate in a clear and organized manner, not to mention Gu Jingyun and Wen Sheng?

   A pair of twenty-four, Ou Tong was sentenced to a complete defeat!

   He also knew that he couldn't argue with them, and could only refute those items that he thought were unreasonable, but since Gu Jingyun dared to list them, he was not afraid of his refutation.

  The two sides fought each other in court, until they were dry mouthed, and finally ended in Ou Tong's failure.

   In the end, Ou Tong ordered twenty-five people, including Chang Kuan, to pay a total of 16,995 taels.

   Even though Ou Tongju has a lot of family business, he is still distressed.

Li Baolu calculated in her heart. Based on the current 12 to 15 liters per kilogram of rice, one tael of silver is equivalent to 225 yuan in the previous life in memory, and Ou Tongshen also lost 3.8 million yuan. about.

   looks quite a lot, but on average it's not much per person.

   And seeing that although Ou Tongshen was distressed, he still quickly took out the compensation money, so he could not help but whisper in Gu Jingyun's ear: "The compensation is less."

  Gu Jingyun tapped her head with a fan, and said with a smile: "Not a lot, three hundred and fifty taels, if it costs fifty taels a year, it will be enough for seven years."

   Their family life is exquisite, and they spend less than 100 taels of silver a year, while an average family of five can live very well for 22 taels a year.

   Although the amount he gave would not make the Ou family go bankrupt, it would also hurt their family. If it was more ruthless, Ou Tongju would definitely fight back fiercely.

   When he dragged on and refused to accept the verdict, it was these weak scholars who suffered.

  Because Ou Tongjing's home is here, he has time and human consumption, but these scholars are different. Their home is not here, and it will cost more for one more day here, and their time can't be consumed.

   If they don’t study for a day, they will become rusty. If their energy is always on the lawsuit, how can they study the imperial examination?

  Gu Jingyun didn't have much friendship with them, but since he was on the united front, he had to think about them.

  Gu Jingyun thought clearly in his heart, and Wen Sheng naturally understood his intentions and recognized this feeling from his heart.

   While the others got the compensation money, a big stone fell from their hearts, and they said goodbye to their partners one after another, and reunited after three years.

  The family already knew that they could not participate in the imperial examination, and they had to rush back as soon as possible. They have money now, and they are not afraid that there will be no travel expenses in three years.

In the end, only Wen Sheng and Qiao Xu stayed behind. They were the leaders of this rights protection incident, and they took Chang Kuan's compensation. His parents, wife and children had already been informed that they were rushing to Guangzhou, and they had to wait for them to arrive in Guangzhou. Give them the money and **** them back to their hometown.

  The two were very grateful to Gu Jingyun, and they both felt that the other party was a good friend, so they exchanged posts.

  Gu Jingyun said: "The knowledge of the two seniors is enough. If you want to go out and travel, if you go to the capital, I will show you the friendship of the landlord."

   Wen Sheng laughed, "Brother Gu has enough confidence to enter the palace for the test?"

   Otherwise, how dare you speak of the friendship of landlords?

   Gu Jingyun smiled, "Although I was born and raised in Qiongzhou, my ancestral home is in the capital. Even if I don't get into the palace exam, I can still do my best as a landlord."

  The two were slightly surprised, why did the people from the capital go to Qiongzhou to settle down?

   The difference between the two places is more than 108,000 miles?

Gu Jingyun didn't explain, but gave Wen Sheng the 80 taels he had just paid, "This is a funeral ceremony for the Chang family, I'm leaving tomorrow, so I don't have to wait for the Chang family to arrive, and say condolences to them for me. "

   Wen Sheng took the purse, sighed, and patted Gu Jingyun on the shoulder as a response, "Tomorrow, Brother Qiao and I will send you off."

  Qiao Xu watched Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu walk away, then he turned his head and said to Wen Sheng, "Brother Gu has a narrow meaning, you can make it."

   Vincent nodded.

Gu Jingyun, who was walking away, sighed slightly as he watched the fading sunset, "Yesterday, the book boy Chang Kuan packed up his belongings, and I accidentally saw the annotations in his book, but he is a man with a broad mind and a strong character, which is a pity. "

   "Are you remorse?"

"You and I already knew that this was Ou Dunyi's calculation, and we also figured out that there were other victims, but at that time, in order not to cause trouble, and to be able to catch him, I just let it go. Last night I always thought, if I was there When he realizes it, he will attack, maybe Chang Kuan will not die." He is not sorry for Wen Sheng and others, they are still alive, but three years too late.

   But Chang Kuan is such a pity, he died. People die like lights go out, and they no longer exist.

  Li Baolu thought for a while and said, "I'll have the opportunity to help his family more in the future."

  Gu Jingyun nodded, he just doubted for a moment, suppressed the pity in his heart, took her hand under the cover of his wide sleeves, and walked slowly home in the setting sun.
