Forcing me to keep vigil for your childhood sweetheart? Then I'll leave you.

"Five hundred taels?"

"Are you following these unruly people to become a mountain king?"

Liu Yu couldn't help laughing again, "Is your sheep made of gold, or is the cloth made of gold?"

"No one robs money like you do!"

Hong Xuejiao sneered, "Five hundred taels for worthless wool, that's enough!"

"Pay compensation, five hundred taels."

Lin Yi didn't want to have any more interactions with these two scumbags. "Pay the money and get out."

"No compensation."

"What can you do to me?"

Liu Yu straightened his back and snorted coldly, "If you have the guts, go sue the authorities and see how much this batch of rags of wool is worth!"

"Go and go!"

The village chief and other villagers roared.

The crowd was outraged and tied up the two men and went to the Liangzhou City Prefect with Lin Yi to make a scene.

On the way, Lin Yi quietly asked Xiaomei to find Prince Qing.

"Ascension... to the hall..."

The Liangzhou prefect sat upright, staring at the three people in the hall, and formally called out, "Who wants to file a complaint?"

"I, Lin Yi, am suing Liu Yu and Hong Xuejiao."

"Just now, two people burned five hundred taels of goods from our Niujia Village..."

Lin Yi knelt down and spoke.

The villagers of Niujia Village watched the trial in the front row.

"Nephew, what of his goods did you burn?"

"It's worth five hundred taels?"

Hearing the prefect calling Liu Yu his nephew in the court, everyone knew the outcome of the case.

"Sir, I'm the one who wants to sue Lin Yi!"

"Deliberately blackmailing me and Hong Xuejiao!"

In the courtroom, Liu Yu took over and angrily said, "Those so-called goods he has are just wool. What can they be worth?"

Upon hearing this, the prefect became furious!

"How dare you, Lin Yi, not only did you falsely accuse my nephew, you even dared to blackmail him!"

He said, glaring at Lin Yi.

"My Lord, I have not made any false accusation."

"My woolen cloth, one ounce of silver for one zhang."

Lin Yi said calmly, "He burned over five hundred feet of woolen cloth. The loss is more than five hundred taels!"

"How dare you! How dare you speak so arrogantly!"

"How can woolen cloth be one ounce and one zhang?"

After the prefect finished speaking, Liu Yu and Hong Xuejiao sneered.

"How dare you say that!"

Liu Yu sneered and turned to the people behind him, "Listen, who would buy one tael and one zhang of woolen cloth? Only a fool would buy it!"

Even though the villagers of Niujia Village were right, the people immediately felt that it was fake.

"I hereby order you to pay my nephew five hundred taels of silver!"

With these words, the gavel came down and the case was over.

"No compensation."

Lin Yi said, "The five hundred zhang woolen cloth was made by the villagers of Niujia Village who worked day and night."

"Be bold!"

"Come here, give him thirty lashes to set the record straight!"

He roared, "Then, throw him into jail!"

Such a corrupt official, confusing right and wrong, immediately caused the villagers of Niujia Village to make a fuss.

"don’t worry."

Xiaomei, who went to find Prince Qing, finally arrived at the scene and comforted the villagers of Niujia Village.

"Snapped!"

The sound of the gavel was followed by the word "silence"!

The case is closed, black and white are reversed, it seems that Lin Yi must be tortured with thirty lashes!

"Prince Qing has arrived!"

Such a sound interrupted everyone's thoughts and also put an end to the trial of this case.

Prince Qing holds military power and resists the enemy on the Liangzhou front.

Whether it is fame or majesty, it is absolute!

When the prefect heard the word "Prince Qing", he was shocked.

When he saw Prince Qing coming with Chu Yaoyue, he immediately stood up trembling.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Qing!"

The prefect kowtowed and slowly stood up. "Your Highness, what brings you here?"

"Someone burned the army's goods. How could I not come and see?"

Prince Qing spoke coldly with a stern face.

Just a side glance made Liu Yu shiver.

This is the look of someone who has fought for years and killed countless people. The murderous intent in his eyes alone is enough to make people retreat!

When he heard the word "in the army", the prefect knelt down for a long time and did not dare to look up.

"Are you investigating this case?"

Prince Qing saw the silence in the hall and spoke slowly, "We must conduct a thorough investigation."

"Your subordinate... obeys your command."

As the prefect said this, he forced himself to stand up and then sat back in the hall.

Prince Qing also sat beside him.

"The woolen cloth woven by the common people and Niujia Village is all transported to the army."

"One tael is one zhang."

Lin Yi raised his head and spoke slowly, with a bit more momentum.

"Do you have any proof?"

The prefect glanced at Prince Qing, then asked haltingly.

"There is proof. It's in the residence of His Royal Highness Prince Qing."

Seeing Chu Yaoyue nod slightly, Lin Yi answered confidently.

"Your Highness, may I have a look at this person's credentials?"

The prefect asked with courage.

"Of course, I happened to bring it."

Prince Qing said this and took out two receipts.

One was the five hundred zhang woolen cloth that had already been delivered, and the other was the additional three thousand zhang woolen cloth.

Suddenly, the prefect was shocked, and even Liu Yu and Hong Xuejiao in the hall were shocked.

Who could have known that this loser Lin Yi was actually doing business with Prince Qing?

Even if it is fake, who would dare to doubt Prince Qing?

"This government decrees that Liu Yu and Hong Xuejiao burn the goods in Niujia Village and compensate Lin Yi...five hundred taels."

After saying this, the prefect's face was full of helplessness.

He no longer called Liu Yu nephew.

"I...I don't have any money!"

Liu Yu was panicked.

"I'll pay for it."

Hong Xuejiao gritted her teeth and spoke slowly, "Lin Yi, I don't have any money with me right now. I'm giving you an IOU. You can come to the Hong family to get it someday."

After that, she wrote an IOU.

Lin Yi didn't even look at Hong Xuejiao, he just knelt down and said: Thank you, Your Highness Prince Qing, thank you, the prefect.

Then, he took the IOU and slowly stood up.

"Retire!"

After saying these two words, the prefect collapsed like a deflated ball.

Who knew that Lin Yi could invite Prince Qing?

After leaving the court, Lin Yi knelt in front of Prince Qing.

"Thank you, Prince Qing, for the rescue!"

Upon hearing this, Prince Qing immediately helped Lin Yi up and said, "I should thank you!"

"It's comparable to a mink fur coat, but only costs one ounce of silver and one zhang!"

On the way back, Lin Yi learned that his first batch of 500 zhang of woolen cloth had begun to be cut and made into clothes.

The soldiers who changed into woolen clothes all loved the fabric very much.

"Will this batch of goods being burned have any impact?"

On the way, Prince Qing was a little worried.

"There shouldn't be any problem."

Lin Yi nodded.

"Your Highness, there will be absolutely no problem!"

The village chief also said the same thing.

"That's good. Soldiers on the frontier are relying on you!"

Prince Qing nodded slightly.

As a result of this incident, the entire Liangzhou City knew about the woolen cloth from Niujia Village.

In an instant, the price of wool began to rise, and some people even began to imitate Lin Yi and make woolen cloth.

Unfortunately, Lin Yi's woolen cloth was imitated by others but never surpassed.

Those crudely made woolen cloths either cost too much effort or had a strong smell that was disgusting.

Over time, these imitators gave up.

However, Lin Yi used the deposit from the new order to buy a bunch of livestock and started animal husbandry in Niujia Village.

Most of the wool is produced by ourselves, and with some purchases, the raw materials are sufficient.
