My parents are omnipotent

Chapter 257 Make yourself smart
Patriarch Qi, who thought he had been targeted, didn't dare to offend Mr. Pan openly, but he was unwilling to swallow this useless gas just like that. He bowed his hands slightly to Mr. Pan, "Master Pan, I have a question."

Mr. Pan nodded, "Excuse me."

"Can't I just redeem a certain person?"

Mr. Pan knew what this guy was up to when he heard it, but he didn't mean to be a hindrance, he nodded slightly at Patriarch Qi, "Of course."

Before patriarch Qi could speak, Mrs. Qi couldn't wait to say, "Then we won't redeem these maids!"

The redemption of 1000 taels per person is enough for her to buy another [-] taels of her choice. Twenty for one.

When she said this, Patriarch Qi was reminded of another question by her. He asked Mr. Pan, "Dare to ask Mr. Pan, why is the ransom for 3000 taels?"

Half a year is 500 taels, and a year is 1000 taels. His wife was sentenced to two years and needs to pay 3000 taels in redemption. Where did the extra 1000 taels come from?
Mr. Pan glanced at his master who was in charge of paying the bill, and the master immediately held up the thick legal code in his hand, "Patriarch Qi didn't know that, according to the law, a woman pays a fine to redeem herself, and if she wants to The longer the redemption period, the more fine silver that needs to be handed over.”

He gave Patriarch Qi a chestnut, "For example, Mrs. Zun, for the two-year sentence she needs to redeem, she really only needs to pay a fine of 1000 taels in the first year, but in the second year she needs to redeem, the fine is 2000 taels. It doubled in one year, so she needs to hand in a total of [-] taels in the second year."

Patriarch Qi's face turned dark immediately. It was the first time he had heard that the money fine could be doubled according to the number of years.

He really wanted to suspect that this group of foreign officials headed by Mr. Pan was trying to make things difficult for him, but the master on the other side was holding a copy of the legal code, but they also had a copy in a remote corner of the study to eat ashes.

The most important thing is that the code was sent by Mr. Pan himself _(:з」∠)_
Knowing that the Qi family also has this law, if the other party didn't go crazy collectively, they would definitely not lie about their money at this juncture.

Thinking about it this way, patriarch Qi immediately cursed secretly at Ye Anlan, the "culprit" who formulated this strange code.

But scolding is scolding, after scolding is over, he still has to take out the money that should be paid obediently.After all, he can use 6000 taels out of the 1000 taels to buy twenty new servants, but he cannot use the 3000 taels to buy himself a new Mrs. Qi┓(`)┏

In addition to the 3000 taels, he also had someone take the 500 taels added together by his daughter-in-law and daughter.

As for the maidservants who were crying and begging their family to save them, Patriarch Qi's family didn't even look at them.

They are not Ye Anlan who insists that everyone is equal before the law. For them, servants are always servants.

"Even though they have paid the money, they are still not allowed to leave Jeju City during their respective sentences." The master in charge of collecting the money thought that they had not read the new law, so he smiled and reminded Mrs. Qi The four daughters of the sentence.

Mrs. Qi's face was even darker when he said that she had already paid, and these people actually restricted her range of activities!Then wouldn't she be imprisoned in a bigger place?
She wanted to have an attack, but then she thought that she seemed to be in trouble today, and she was constantly suffering and suffering. After all, she tried her best to suppress her full of anger.

Meanwhile, Patriarch Qi finally brings up the issue of the punishment of all men, including himself.

Because they just followed the crowd and neither took the lead nor made a move, they were only sentenced to six months in prison just like Patriarch Qi's daughter-in-law and daughter.

Men go to prison for half a year, of course, there is no reputation problem like women, and the government will not prohibit their family members from sending things and visiting the prison regularly for crimes like theirs, so they will not have a hard time in prison.

But this "not hard work" is compared to other prisoners. For Patriarch Qi and Patriarch Qi's sons who are used to being pampered, the prison life for the past six months is obviously very tormenting.

Food and clothing are not as good as before, and the body is confined in a small, simple, and dirty cell, surrounded by lowly prisoners who they didn't even bother to look at before. This kind of environment will definitely make them live like years.

But this is not the most unacceptable thing for them. The most unacceptable thing for them is the great damage to their reputation caused by being imprisoned for half a year.

After being imprisoned, they will not only be rejected and excluded in the gentry circle of Jeju, but also be seized by others within the family.

It's no wonder that people who have gained both fame and wealth suddenly lose everything they once had.

Patriarch Qi didn't dare to go head-to-head with Mr. Pan on this matter. He knew he was in the wrong, and he didn't have the guts and courage to touch Ye Anlan with his pigeon egg, so he chose to discuss it with Mr. Pan. .

He hoped that the men of the Qi family could also use money to redeem the penalty. As long as Mr. Pan was willing, he was even willing to pay ten times the price to the female relatives.

However, to his despair, Mr. Pan rejected him.

In the words of Mr. Pan, Miss Ye of his family allowed the woman to pay or contribute to redeem herself because she did not want those women who are not guilty of death to be forced to death by her new law and the old customs of this world. As for men, men do not exist. "Famous Festival" said.

Patriarch Qi really wanted to yell in Mr. Pan's ear - men don't have reputations, but men also need fame!
Unfortunately, he didn't dare.

Not only did he dare not, but neither did his two sons.

They could only hold back their resentment and unwillingness to beg Qi Hongling to raise their hand.

Of course Qi Hongling would not be moved by their entreaties.

In her opinion, if a poisonous snake has already bit you several times, you must not treat it lightly or even show mercy even if it accidentally gets into trouble and looks like it has lost the wind.

Because your momentary soft-heartedness now will undoubtedly predetermine your death in the future.

Qi Hongling's indifference made Mrs. Qi angry, and she realized that her husband and son had not escaped from prison, and now she became the one who would become disorganized and only know how to play tricks when faced with adversity. stupid woman.

It was the Patriarch Qi who stopped Mrs. Qi in time, so that she could not say more sensational things in front of Mr. Pan and others, and do things that would make their family even more guilty.
