Chapter 33 Quick Resolution

"Boss Wang, please invite some people outside the courtroom to see if they have anything else to ask."

Soon Lin Feng and Lao Hu came in and knelt down to the county magistrate.

"My lord, I have something to ask Shopkeeper Cui." Lin Feng said respectfully.

"You ask."

"May I ask Shopkeeper Cui, how many times has Li Zhuangtou done something like last night's situation?"

"I don't know about this." Shopkeeper Cui didn't expect the other party to go straight to the point as soon as he came up.

Lin Feng looked at the other party steadfastly, until he felt guilty looking at the shopkeeper Cui, and didn't dare to look at Lin Feng more.

"I'll just ask directly, shopkeeper Cui, how many years has Li Zhuangtou traded grain with you?"

Shopkeeper Cui dodged his eyes, but he still answered honestly, "It's been four years."

"Thank you." Lin Feng thanked him, turned his head to look at the magistrate sitting upright, cupped his fists and said, "My lord, Li Zhuangtou has been working in my Zhuangzi for two years. How much oil and water has been spent on the farm, please ask your lord to try to let us recover some of the losses before punishing him."

Zhang Yun felt that Lin Feng's request was not too much, so he nodded in agreement.

He looked at the five people who came in with Lin Feng, "Why did you come in?"

Lao Hu looked left and right, and suddenly felt that it seemed a bit unnecessary for him to come in, and he had no loss to recover.

So he looked at the few people who came with him, and saw that after they saw the magistrate, they were suddenly speechless because of fear.

He sighed secretly in his heart, he still had to go out in person.

"My lord, these are the laborers who are in charge of Zhuangzi's work in Li Zhuangtou. They have all been bullied by Li Zhuangtou. Li Zhuangtou usually likes to withhold the wages of the laborers and finds various excuses from time to time not to pay them. To pay their wages, they came here because they wanted Li Zhuangtou to return the hard-earned money that was squeezed out of them."

"Yes, my lord, please make the decision for us." As soon as the temporary workers heard the words of wages, they immediately thought of their purpose for coming here, and they immediately echoed Lao Hu's words regardless of fear.

……

"Thank you, Catcher Wang. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to make up for the loss so quickly." At the gate of the farm, Lin Feng and his son thanked Catcher Wang again.

"You are welcome, this is our duty. Now that the matter has been settled, I will go back." Wang Butou led the horse and said goodbye with a smile.

"Okay, Boss Wang, please go slowly. I'm going to the county town another day. I'll treat you to a drink."

"Then it's settled." Wang Butou got on his horse, flicked his whip and left.

"Father, how did things get settled so quickly?" Lin Yi asked only after Wang Catcher disappeared.

Lin Feng didn't expect that the matter would be settled so easily. Not only did they get back the losses from last year, but they also got part of the money that Li Zhuangtou had left with his old club a few years ago.

After compensating the wages of those part-time laborers for this part of the money, the rest of the money is 50 taels in addition to the benefits they gave Wang Butou and others.

After Lin Feng told Lao Hu to continue guarding the gate of Zhuangzi, he and Lin Yi drove the carriage to the town.

In the car, he simply told his eldest son what happened in the courtroom in the morning.

"I didn't expect such a result. Li Zhuangtou confessed his crime so easily. He is not the kind of bold person. How could he do such a bold thing? And he has been doing it for so many years. .”

"It was because he was caught on the spot, and there were so many witnesses who identified him and attacked him, so he readily confessed to the most serious crime."

When he arrived at the inn, Lin Feng reported the whole incident to Liang Guoguo.

"Miss, this is the money that Li Zhuang took for grain last year. This is extra money." Lin Feng put a few silver notes and a few pieces of silver on the table.

Liang Guoguo didn't even look at the bank notes on the table, and said to him, "If you get back the lost money, just put it in the public house after you go back. As for the excess, you can keep it yourself."

She didn't care about the little money, and besides, she hardly participated in this matter, and it was all thanks to Lin Feng that she was able to recover the loss. Naturally, Liang Guoguo would not accept the money.

"Thank you, miss." Lin Feng picked up the broken banknotes again.

Liang Guoguo looked at Lin Feng, "Now that Zhuangzi doesn't have the head of the village, I think Lin Yi has been training for several years, why don't we let him stay here as the head of the village, what does Uncle Lin think?"

"Miss is lucky to see him, I have no objection." Lin Feng smiled.

It was too late for him to be happy.

The eldest of his family is sixteen this year, and he has been running with Lao Yang for almost three years, and he has almost studied.

If the boss is the head of the farm here, his income will increase accordingly. After two years, he will marry a wife and be able to support his family.

"Since that's the case, he doesn't have to follow us back this time. Uncle Lin has something to prepare for him, so hurry up and prepare it. We'll stay here for two more days." Liang Guoguo said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you miss for thinking about my boss."

……

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, Lin Yi was left behind, and Lin Feng was the only one driving the carriage on the way back, and the speed was not fast.

When the four of them arrived at Zilin County, Liang Guoguo looked at the bustling streets here, turned his eyes, and said to Lin Feng who was driving a carriage beside him, "Uncle Lin, we won't leave today, we will rest here for one night. Let's go tomorrow."

"Okay, miss."

Lin Feng thought that the purpose of coming out this time has been achieved, so he is not in a hurry. It is rare for the young lady to come out to play once, so she should have fun.

Seeing a jewelry store ahead, Liang Guoguo immediately asked Lin Feng to stop the carriage.

She pointed to the shop and said, "Uncle Lin, stop at the jewelry shop in front."

When the carriage stopped and the three of them got out of the carriage, Liang Guoguo said to Lin Feng: "Uncle Lin, Mammy and I want to hang around here, you go to the inn to book a few rooms first."

Lin Feng thought that it was not the first time that Miss came to Zilin County, so he said, "Miss, can I just book a room at Yunyang Inn?"

The inn is just not far from here, so the lady and the others don't have to go too far.

"can."

After Liang Guoguo finished speaking, she dragged the little girl to the jewelry shop. Mammy was very pleased to see the young lady enter the gold jewelry shop on her own initiative. Her young lady finally knew how to love beauty.

"Excuse me, miss, which kind of accessories do you want to buy?" Liang Guoguo and Xiaoya just stepped into the store when a sharp-eyed waitress came to entertain her.

"You show me around first." Liang Guoguo smiled back.

"Miss, please follow me." The waitress saw that she was well dressed, so she walked towards the gold ornaments.

"Miss, these are some of the more popular styles in our store, please see if you like them."
