Chapter 1756: Agreement Between the Two Families

Upon seeing this, Fang Yong hurriedly pulled Bai Yiqiao behind him protectively. Ning Shu calmly stopped the rioting Chen Li.

Fang Yong was also quite shocked. He absolutely did not expect Bai Yiqiao to say this under such circumstances.

This matter was concealed by agreement between the two families.

“Yiqiao,” said Fang Yong with a frown. He was unable to understand why Bai Yiqiao would do such a detrimental thing to others, especially when there were no benefits in it.

Seeing Fang Yong’s unhappy expression, Bai Yiqiao trembled in her heart. However, she still pursed her lips and said, “I’m telling the truth.”

Ning Shu took a deep breath and said to the bailiff, whose face was already full of greed, “The Chen family did find ginseng, but Fang Yong, the hunter, was also present at the scene.

“The ginseng was sold to the medicine store in town for two hundred taels. Brother Bailiff can go there and verify it. The two hundred taels were divided between the Chen family and the Fang family.”

The bailiffs and the villagers looked at Fang Yong and Bai Yiqiao.

Fang Yong rubbed his face in annoyance. That was why he felt that Bai Yiqiao had done something that harmed others and had no benefits. He knew that this would be the result. Just as he was about to speak, Ning Shu was one step ahead of him.

“Although it was sold for two hundred taels, as Fang Yong had discovered this ginseng, he was given a bigger share, one hundred and fifty taels. The Chen family took fifty taels only,” said Ning Shu calmly.

When the Chen family heard Ning Shu’s words, they were stunned for a moment. They didn’t say anything, though.

The Fang family was the first to be impolite, so they couldn’t be blamed for acting deceitfully.

When Fang Yong heard Ning Shu say that the Fang family was given one hundred and fifty taels, his face became very ugly. Bai Yiqiao’s face was also deathly pale. She pointed at Ning Shu and shouted, “Chen Ermei, you’re speaking nonsense. When did the Fang family ever get 150 taels? It was obviously your family that got the bulk.”

Ning Shu spread her hands. “Look, you also admit that your family divided the money with us.”

Bai Yiqiao choked on her words. Fang Yong pulled at Bai Yiqiao. Bai Yiqiao staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Bai Yiqiao felt a little wronged in her heart. However, she knew that she had messed up, so she lowered her head and said nothing.

“Bailiff…”

“Brother Bailiff.” Ning Shu interrupted Fang Yong once again. She bowed to the two government officials and said, “The Chen family is willing to hand over one hundred taels of silver. I hope that Brother Bailiff can reduce the taxes for each family as appropriate.”

Fang Yong was helpless. He also saluted the government officials. “The Fang family is also willing to hand over fifty taels.”

“Since it was evenly divided, why are you only giving fifty taels when they are giving one hundred taels?” asked the bailiff. He was clearly dissatisfied.

“It clearly wasn’t…” Bai Yiqiao wanted to speak, but Fang Yong stopped her with a pull.

Fang Yong said helplessly, “My family is really impoverished. After getting the money, we bought some things. There’s only this much money left.”

“Hand over what you have. We will go back and report it to our superiors. They will definitely praise your two families,” said the bailiff.

Ning Shu: …

This comment was the equivalent of a fart. She didn’t believe a single one of their words.

In the end, Fang Yong handed over seventy taels of silver. The two government officials had collected nearly ten catties of silver in one trip and left triumphantly.

The villagers thanked Father Chen. Father Chen had never been so respected before in his life. He was both proud and regretful.

Ahh, so much money.

“That Bai Yiqiao looks so beautiful and refined, but I didn’t expect her to be so vicious.” Chen Li started cursing as soon as he got home.
