"besides!"
Song Che took out two pieces of letter paper from his arms:
"This is the receipt for the Zhang family and the Liu family to borrow money from my second uncle. The Zhang family borrowed 50,000 taels, and the Liu family borrowed 100,000 taels. Both have signatures and fingerprints."
He presented the letter to Liao Heng: "Please take a look at it, Mr. Registrar."
Liao Heng secretly sighed: "You're such a greedy guy." But he took the IOU, glanced at it briefly, and said to Li Zhi beside him: "It looks like it's a real IOU."
Li Zhi immediately responded: "That's true."
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! I have never borrowed money from the Shen family, and I don't know these women at all, and I have never beaten anyone!"
Liu Neng rushed to the desk and held Liu Shicao's hand: "Uncle, you must be aware that he fabricated these things out of thin air. If this can be believed, is there any justice in the world?"
"Haha, aren't you afraid of making people laugh when you say such words?" Song Che smiled coldly and came to the Yamen servant, "I want to lend you a knife!"
"choke!"
He pulled out the steel knife, walked to the stretcher of the Zhang family servants, and cursed: "You moaning dog slave, let's see how long you can keep pretending!"
After that, he slashed at the servant with a knife!
"Bang!"
The knife hit the stretcher, and the servant jumped up and ran and jumped in the court: "Master, I won't come, this guy is going to die!"
He was half dead just now, but now he is alive and well?
The faces of the Zhang family father and daughter changed in shock.
Song Che threw the knife away, took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and said calmly: "Okay, I have thousands of people coming here every quarter of an hour to waste time. Now that I have all the witnesses and material evidence, I will make a verdict. Bar."
"Uncle, he, he, he..." Liu Neng looked at Liu Shicao bitterly.
"Don't call me uncle! I'm not your uncle!"
Liu Shicao pushed Liu Neng away. At this moment, if he didn't kill his relatives out of justice, Wu Sha would not be saved.
"Snapped!"
As soon as the scaffolding sounded, Liu Shicao loudly announced his verdict:
"The defendant Zhang Laichun allowed his daughter to regret her marriage and beat others. He is of a bad nature. He has an eighty-year-old spine and will be jailed for one year!
The defendant Zhang Yuee was unruly, adulterous, and immoral. She was given a sixty-year-old spine and was sentenced to half a year in prison!
The defendant Liu Neng committed adultery, beat Li Si, and raped a girl. He was punished for several crimes, a hundred canes, and two and a half years in prison!
The betrothal gifts and loans owed by the Zhang family and the Liu family to the Shen family should be settled within three days, otherwise the crime will be increased! "
After the verdict, he glanced at Li Zhi and asked, "Master Li, is there anything to add to this verdict?"
Li Zhi looked at Song Che: "Are you satisfied, Mr. Song?"
"Of course I'm not satisfied!"
Song Che first pointed at Zhang San and Li Si on the stretcher and said: "They and my uncle were beaten so badly, it costs money for soup and medicine, mental loss, and missed work time;"
Then he pointed to the three pairs of orphans and widows: "There are also support fees, resettlement fees, and compensation fees for their mother and child;"
Finally, he pointed at himself: "Including me, every inch of time is worth every inch of gold. I have a few thousand taels per quarter of an hour. I was delayed for such a long time, so I naturally need to compensate for the losses;
Furthermore, we came all the way from Suzhou just to celebrate my uncle's wedding. Now that the woman has openly regretted the marriage, our round trip expenses, food and accommodation expenses for these days cannot be reduced at all;"
He counted his fingers again in front of Liu Neng and Zhang Laichun:
"Let me do the math for you. The Zhang family owes 30,000 in betrothal gifts and borrows 50,000. The Liu family borrows 100,000. Plus various expenses, I'll give you a discount of 200,000 taels of silver!"
Zhang Laichun's face was ashen, and he hurriedly kowtowed to Shen Tong and begged: "My in-laws, my dear in-laws, it's all because of my temporary obsession. How about we cancel the marriage?"
Shen Tong cursed: "Fortunately, you regretted your marriage today and made me see your true colors. Otherwise, it would be the real misfortune for our family to be married to you, such wolf-hearted villains!"
Liao Heng also presented the written charges to the case table at this time, "Mr. Liu, all the punishment instruments have been written down. Can you order them to be signed and deposited?"
Liu Neng shouted loudly: "I don't accept it! You are practicing favoritism and colluding with others! I will sue you to Luoyang Prefecture in the capital!"
"How could the Liu family give birth to such an idiot like you! Someone, pull me down for execution!" Liu Shicao shouted.
The yamen officials dragged Zhang, his daughter, and Liu Neng down to the court, and soon there were screams, which was really exciting!
"Master Li."
Song Che bowed to Li Zhi and said, "My Shen family is not greedy. Of the 200,000 taels of silver, we only took 30,000 as a gift, and the remaining 170,000 were donated to the refugees outside the city in the name of Yangzhou Prefecture."
Li Zhi stood up and returned the courtesy: "Uncle Song is generous and generous, and he truly deserves his reputation."
Song Che said no more, and he and Shen Wenjun helped Shen Tong back out of the courtroom.
…
…
At the end of October, the winter wind is cold.
Four private stores opened simultaneously with the bank.
In order to better suit the occasion, Song Che changed the name of the store from "Secret in Suzhou City" to "Secret in Yangzhou City".
The bank also named it "World Bank", and this bank account was destined to spread all over the world!
Although private houses and white jade paste have not officially entered Yangzhou in the past, their reputation is so good that wealthy ladies and daughters from wealthy families from all over the Yangtze River have sent people to travel hundreds of miles to Suzhou and Hangzhou to buy them.
Now that the "specialty store" has grandly opened, even though there is not much publicity, there is an endless stream of customers who come to support it after hearing the news.
By diverting traffic from private stores and vigorously promoting the advantages of banks, rumors spread throughout Yangzhou City:
"Have you heard about the newly opened 'World Bank' in the north of the city? You can make money by depositing money there. The more you save, the longer you save, the higher the returns will be!"
"I've also heard that if you save a hundred taels a year, you can get 1.5% more interest when you withdraw the money next year!"
"Is such a good thing really possible? Then we have to go take a closer look."
The world bank has not yet cut the ribbon for opening, and the door is already crowded with people. After all, "saving money and still making money" is unprecedented in modern history.
"Dang Dang Dang!"
Song Che sounded the gong three times to ask everyone to quiet down, then cleared his throat and said loudly:
"Today Tianxia Bank opened its doors. Thank you all fellow villagers for coming to support us. I think everyone has heard about the differences between banks. Song made a summary and cleared up the confusion one by one -
There are three issues that everyone is most concerned about:
First, what is the reputation and qualifications of my bank?
Second, is it safe to keep money in our bank?
Third, what are the benefits of cooperating with our bank and how much profit can you get? "
He paused and began to answer:
"First of all, my surname is Song Che, from Suzhou. I am the young owner of Shen's Trading Company in Suzhou. Shen Tong, the owner of Fuman Inn in the north of the city, is my second uncle;
At the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce half a year ago, I won the top prize for my 'distilled liquor' product. The distilled liquor you drink now was first produced by me. If you don't believe it, you can go to the major distilleries in Yangzhou and ask. "
As soon as he finished speaking, a fat middle-aged man with a wealthy figure and a mustache stood up and said loudly:
"What Boss Song said, I, the 'Yangzhou Wine King' Huang Longlang, can testify. The first jar of new wine he brewed was the first one I, Huang Longlang, tasted. It is genuine!"
A good drinker has a true temperament!
