Listening to Chen Fan's bewitching voice.
Chen Hao subconsciously looked at Zhao Hongwei on the side.
When Zhao Hongwei saw this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a sharp cold light burst out from his eyes.
Chen Hao immediately withdrew his gaze.
"I did all this alone, I have no accomplices."
Chen Hao suddenly gritted his teeth and said loudly.
After hearing this and looking at Chen Hao's performance just now, Chen Fan knew that Zhao Hongwei must have threatened Chen Hao down below.
"Why are you doing this?"
Liu Siye asked coldly.
Before he came, he was quite interested in Chen Hao, because Chen Hao was the youngest scholar in Dongyang County.
But after meeting, Liu Siye gradually became disappointed with Chen Hao's successive performances.
At this time, he knew that he was the mastermind behind Chen Fan's frame-up, and he was also the one who caused him to travel hundreds of miles in three days.
The hatred in Liu Siye’s heart!
"My grandma wants to hand over the Chen family to Chen Fan. I am so angry that I do this."
Chen Hao blurted out.
Hearing this, Liu Siye's hatred for Chen Hao became even stronger.
He did not doubt what Chen Hao said, because he was also present when Chen Hao's grandma was about to hand over the Chen family to Chen Fan.
It is logical for Chen Hao to do such a thing because of his jealousy.
Chen Fan frowned on the side. It seemed that Chen Hao had even thought of an excuse.
"Come here, take the criminal Chen Hao to the prison."
"I will make a judgment after I have found out everything."
Zhao Da said quickly, fearing that there would be another change.
Soon Chen Hao was taken away by several officials.
Seeing Chen Hao being taken away, Zhao Hongwei and Zhao Da looked at each other, and then a smile appeared on their lips.
"Sir Fang, Mr. Si Ye, this case was not investigated thoroughly by the official. It was the official's dereliction of duty. Thank you two for coming here to reverse the case."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid my conscience will be troubled for the rest of my life!"
Zhao Da came to Fang Zhengru and Liu Siye with a regretful expression and said.
Seeing Zhao Da like that, the two of them just nodded silently without speaking.
When Zhao Da saw this, he knew that the two elders were very dissatisfied with him.
This made Zhao Da immediately nervous. If he offended them, the rest of his life would probably be difficult.
Moreover, one of them is the current imperial master, and the other is Master Siye of the Imperial Academy. They are the people who can directly determine the fate of his son Zhao Hongwei!
He has always regarded Zhao Hongwei as the hope of the Zhao family. Why doesn't this make him nervous?
"Master Zhao, you just admitted that it was your dereliction of duty, so how can you compensate for my losses in the past few days?"
At this time, Chen Fan said with a wicked smile.
Since Zhao Hongwei could not be convicted, Chen Fan did not want to let the Zhao family off so easily.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Da immediately looked at Chen Fan cautiously.
Last time, this guy blackmailed him for six thousand taels with just a few words.
"What compensation do you want?"
Zhao Hongwei looked at Chen Fan cautiously and said.
"Ten thousand taels."
Chen Fan stretched out a finger and said.
This is no small sum of money.
"Chen Fan, just go ahead and dream! Don't you think you are worth ten thousand taels like this?"
Before Zhao Da could speak, Zhao Hongwei said with a stern face.
At this time, he had already put on a piece of clothing, but it looked a bit nondescript.
"Chen Fan, you are like a lion, I will never give you 10,000 taels."
Zhao Da also said firmly.
He regretted giving Chen Fan six thousand taels last time.
Liu Siye and Fang Zhengru on the side also felt that Chen Fan was asking for a bit too much.
"Why did the lion open its mouth so much?"
"My books haven't been sold these days, how can I calculate this loss?"
"The sage said that every inch of time is worth every inch of gold. How do you calculate the time you have wasted these days on me?"
"I have been in jail these past few days and have been frightened. I can't sleep or eat well. I will definitely have insomnia and nightmares for decades to come. How should I calculate this mental damage fee?"
"More importantly, your misjudgment can damage my reputation. You also know the importance of reputation to a person. This cannot be made up for with money. Even ten thousand taels is a small amount for me."
Chen Fan asked Zhao Da and Zhao Hongwei several questions.
The two of them were stunned for a moment when they heard Chen Fan's words. They had never heard of mental damage compensation.
But listening to these words, it felt like Chen Fan had lost quite a lot, and ten thousand taels didn't seem that excessive.
Not only did they have this idea, but Fang Zhengru and Liu Siye on the side also had this idea.
"Chen Fan is right, ten thousand taels is already quite fair."
At this time Liu Siye spoke.
As soon as Liu Siye finished speaking, Fang Zhengru also stood up and said, "If you do something wrong, you must find a way to compensate. Chen Fan doesn't want much."
Hearing what Fang Zhengru said, Zhao Da did not dare to refute.
"Okay, I will compensate you ten thousand taels, but I don't have that much money now. I will give it to you when I have money."
Zhao Da said.
He didn't dare to admit that he had ten thousand taels in front of Fang Zhengru, otherwise he might think he was a corrupt official.
Hearing this, Chen Fan was not satisfied.
"How long have you been waiting for you to have money? It's just empty talk. Please trouble Mr. Zhao to write an IOU!"
Chen Fan said with a smile.
Zhao Dana's expression changed immediately after hearing this. He was a dignified county magistrate, and he was actually asked to write an IOU by a poor boy.
"Don't you trust me?"
Zhao Da said coldly.
"I don't believe it. I can't trust the character of your Zhao family."
Chen Fan said directly.
This made Zhao Da feel uncomfortable for a while.
I saw him gritting his teeth and writing the IOU.
"That's it!"
Zhao Daba handed the finished IOU to Chen Fan.
Chen Fan looked at it carefully, and then put it into his arms with satisfaction.
After doing all this, Chen Fan personally sent Liu Siye and Fang Zhengru back to the inn with respect on his face.
"Chen Fan, we two old guys have been running around for a few days to save you. How are you going to repay us?"
As soon as he arrived at the inn, Liu Siye spoke.
"Thank you very much, sir. If it hadn't been for you two adults this time, I would have died unjustly."
"I just asked for this money on behalf of the two adults."
After saying that, Chen Fan handed the still warm IOU in his arms to the two of them without any hesitation.
However, neither of them answered at this time.
"That's not what we want."
Liu Siye said with a smile.
Chen Fan naturally knew what Liu Siye wanted. He just wanted to go to the Imperial College to study, but Chen Fan had no intention of doing so!
"Master Si Ye, Master Fang, I really don't want to go to the Imperial College to study, nor do I want to get any honors."
"The little one just wants to make money and have a wife and children. This is the little kid's ideal life."
"I hope you two adults won't embarrass me."
Chen Fan said helplessly.
As soon as these words came out, Liu Siye frowned immediately.
