"Hey! Aren't you bullying me? You're blaming everyone you catch! How can a piece of clothing be worth two taels of silver?" Village Chief Ye was anxious. He strode over and wanted to have a good talk with the man. He didn't forget to teach Ye Ze a lesson: "I thought you were a smart kid, how could you agree to give him money?"

"Uncle, uncle, don't be anxious. I am a reasonable person and I won't do anything stupid." Ye Ze hurriedly stepped forward to stop Village Chief Ye and comforted him.

Village Chief Ye stood aside angrily: "Okay, you speak the truth, you speak, you speak!"

Ye Ze laughed, "This big brother looks like a reasonable person, right, big brother?"

The man raised his eyebrows and shouted! Was he being cheated? Haha... Seeing his stupid and unintelligent appearance, I didn't expect him to be so easy to cheat! If I had known this, I should have ordered more.

"Of course!" the man said sternly, "The fabric of my clothes is made of fine cotton cloth, plus it's handmade, so asking you for two taels of silver is not enough! I'm not bullying you."

"That's right," Ye Ze rubbed his hands and asked, "I'll give you two taels of silver, so will your clothes belong to me?"

Ok? !

The man's eyes widened, and his voice unconsciously rose a few notes: "No, you... do you want me to take off my clothes in public?!"

"Didn't you say that your clothes are worth two taels of silver? I gave you two taels of silver for buying clothes, right? If you don't give me the clothes and wash them yourself and wear them, then I will lose two taels of silver for nothing, right? I'm not stupid," Ye Ze said with a chuckle, "Are you trying to cheat me out of two taels of silver?"

The man's face darkened immediately, "Of course not..."

Ye Ze said sincerely: "I told you, you are a good man, you will not cheat me. So, give me the clothes and I will give you two taels of silver. How about that?"

The man narrowed his eyes and thought, even if the clothes were given to him, he could just buy a new one, and he would still make some money from the two taels of silver...

After thinking this through, the man smiled and said, "Okay, I'll give you the clothes. Hurry up and bring the silver!"

"Well, no rush. Next, should we talk about my little brother's medical expenses?" Ye Ze looked at him firmly with a hint of a sly smile on his face.

"Are you asking me for medical expenses? Haha..." The man laughed as if he heard a joke. "Why don't you ask who I am? How dare you ask me for money?"

Ye Ze's face darkened: "So, you want to be unreasonable?"

I don't know when people started to stop and watch. Originally, no one would care about the affairs of a little beggar, but now that someone is paying attention, they are happy to watch the fun.

More and more people gathered around, and those who came later didn't know what was going on, so they started to ask those who had gathered first.

"What's going on? Tell me."

Village Chief Ye witnessed the whole process, and his beard was standing up with anger. Just then someone happened to ask about it, so Village Chief Ye had no choice but to explain everything to everyone.

Everyone was infuriated after hearing Village Chief Ye's explanation, and they immediately spoke up for Ye Ze: "How could this person be so cruel? Is it necessary to do this to such a young child?"

"You beat someone up and still want compensation. How shameless!"

"That's right, he's just a little beggar. You can't take his life even if you don't give him food!"

Village Chief Ye explained this: "Look at how thin this child is. I don't know how many days he hasn't had a full meal. How can he afford medicine after being beaten like this? If he can't afford medicine, how can the child survive?"

The man became annoyed when he heard the discussions of the crowd. What the hell is it to you?

Seeing his eyes rolling around, Ye Ze wondered what bad idea he had in mind, so he said directly, "As for how much the medical expenses are, I think we should ask a doctor to take a look first. What do you think, brother?"

"Look at that! Give me two taels of silver and we'll settle this matter. If you really dare to continue making trouble, I promise you will suffer the consequences!"

"Do you think I'm a coward?" Ye Ze grinned, "How about we go to the government office and ask the county magistrate to judge the case?"

"You, you dare to report to the police?" Hearing about reporting to the police, the man's confidence obviously weakened. It seems that the young man in front of him is not a coward.

"You dare to report to the police, so why shouldn't I dare?" Ye Ze put away his smile and looked cold.

At this moment, someone behind the crowd recognized him and said with a smile: "Who am I thinking? Isn't this our county magistrate's brother-in-law, Pei Saner?" As he said that, the man pushed through the crowd and walked to the front.

Xu Wu had been listening behind the crowd for quite a while, and only came forward after he understood the whole story.

When the onlookers heard that this was the county magistrate's brother-in-law, they all shut up immediately. They really couldn't afford to offend such a person. What if he held a grudge against them and came back to cause trouble for them?

Ye Ze looked at the man who squeezed in. Hey, isn't this Xu Wu? "Brother Wu? Why are you here?"

Xu Wuyi smiled: "Brother Ye, we meet again!"

Ye Ze smiled and nodded at him: "What a fate!" He didn't expect to meet an acquaintance when he came to the county town for the first time.

"Xu Wu? You, why are you here?" Pei Saner completely lost his temper when he saw Xu Wu.

Xu Wu glared and said, "What? Don't you want to see Xu?"

"No, it's not..."

"Brother Ye, you tell us how to solve this problem." Xu Wu looked at the little beggar lying on the ground, unable to get up, and asked Ye Ze.

Ye Ze was not polite either: "I think this child is seriously injured. He has to pay for the consultation fee, the medicine fee, and his lost wages. Uh... the cost of the child not being able to go out to beg for food during the period of injury!"

Xu Wu nodded: "Of course, how much do you think is appropriate?"

"Just give me three taels. I don't know if it's too little." Ye Ze didn't know the exact price of goods in this era, but he knew that medicine was expensive, so he just said a number. He had someone backing him up, so who else could he cheat?

Is this still too little? You'd better kill me! I'll take three or four coins with one kick! Pei Saner swallowed his saliva and hurriedly went to Xu Wu to plead: "Fifth brother, you are my real brother, I really have no money? I just came out after losing..."

"You came out after you lost? So you're in a bad mood, so you beat someone up?" Xu Wu looked at Pei San'er with disdain, and curled his lips in disdain: "Oh, you're really something, don't just recognize brothers randomly, I don't dare to have a brother like you, if you don't pay the money, I'll have to ask your brother-in-law for it."

"No, no, no... No, I'll pay for it, I'll pay for it..." Pei Saner reluctantly took out three ingots of silver from his crotch. Damn, how did this guy know that I just borrowed three taels of silver to make back my investment?

......

As for Xu Wu, just by looking at his appearance you can tell that he is not an ordinary yamen runner. We will talk about him later.
