Facing Gan Ning, who only knew how to burn, kill, and loot, but had little cultural knowledge, the pottery merchant couldn't help but remain silent.
Showing off one's identity to such a person is a complete joke.
What a ten-sentence golden comment, what a prince of peace, what the water bandit leader said was completely incomprehensible.
Let’s just follow the normal routine.
"Master Ganzhai, forget it... let me introduce myself to you again. I am the governor of Danyang County, a pottery merchant."
Gan Ning threw away the food in his hand and said cheerfully: "If you had said this earlier, I would have understood. What a piece of bullshit Mr. Taiping, I was confused after hearing this... Tao Taishou, let's say something pleasant, you
What do you want to do with me? Behead me or behead me?!"
A dead pig is not afraid of the rhythm of boiling water.
Tao Shang picked up the wine cup on the table, took a sip, shook his head and said, "Tao said that the purpose of Tao's participation in the Heroes Meeting was not to suppress thieves, but to make a few close friends."
Gan Ning was very dissatisfied when he heard this. He chuckled, shook his head and mocked Tao Shang: "What a joke. Although you are young, you are still a dignified county guard, but you are so immature when you talk! I was on the Yangtze River.
I went to rob the water bandits, you are the head of the place, and now my life is in your hands. Instead of killing me, you want to make friends with me? Only a ghost would believe this!"
Tao Shang sighed, shook his head and said: "Master Ganzhai is too extreme. Why can't the officers, soldiers and thieves get along well with each other?"
Gan Ning laughed angrily at the potter's words and said scornfully: "How can we be friendly with each other? As a county guard, there are laws of the Han Dynasty suppressing you. I have been a bandit for more than a year, burning, killing, looting, and massacring countless people.
If you make friends with me and don't understand the law, how can you hold your head high when you face your superiors or fellow villagers in the future? I am also a hero, and I am involved with you. I will face Jiangnan thieves in the future.
How can my colleagues on the road hold their heads high? This is simply a joke!"
The potter's face darkened, and he was obviously a little unhappy.
"Why doesn't Master Ganzhai want to have a good chat with Tao? I'm giving you a chance now! You are so stubborn, doesn't this force me to deal with you in an official manner and determine your crime and sentence?"
Gan Ning puffed up his chest and said proudly: "You sound like a commander of a county when you say this! Boy, stop doing useless things with me. I just don't want to talk to you properly, so what can you do?"
Today, I just want you to do business. I have fallen into your hands. I have no complaints. I will take out your so-called Han laws and kill or cut into pieces. I will do whatever you want. If there is even half a word, I will be killed.
Not a hero!"
"Okay, you are awesome..."
Tao Shang extended a thumbs up to Gan Ning, then turned his head and said seriously to Xu Rong behind him: "Go and get the volumes on the investigation of the Yangtze River thieves that the school office sent over a few days ago.
come over."
Xu Rong took the order and left. When he was young, he brought back a stack of slips for the pottery merchant.
The pottery merchant put the slips and slips on the table, and then rummaged through them one by one. After a while, he found the slips marked Gan Ning's crime investigation records among them.
came out.
The potter shook it off casually, unfolded the slip, and read slowly: "Gan Ning, named Xingba, was born in Linjiang, Ba County, in the first year of Jianning. He had little strength and was a good knight. He gathered in the first month of the first year of Chuping.
The villagers entered the Yangtze River as bandits and crossed the waterways of the Yangtze River and the Xiangjiang River. They robbed Lujiang County, Lingling County, Jiangxia County and other places in a total of 51 pavilions in 5 counties, 11 townships, and robbed property of cattle, sheep, brocade and silk worth a total of 70,000 yuan.
Three thousand six hundred and seventy-five dollars. In addition, the total number of lives lost to your group is 337..."
At this point, the pottery merchant suddenly closed the slips in his hands and said sternly: "Gan Ning, can you plead guilty?"
Gan Ning was not afraid of the dead pig being scalded by boiling water. He raised his head and said, "I did it all! What can you do?"
There was a sneer on the corner of the pottery merchant's mouth, and he said: "What? According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, Tao can convict you on behalf of the Tingwei Mansion!"
Gan Ning was happy and undaunted, and said happily: "Isn't it just a death? I have already made preparations to kill him as you please. If you feel like it, you can sentence him!"
The corners of the pottery merchant's mouth raised slightly, and he shook his head and said: "Death? What you are thinking is quite beautiful. Come on, come and get the chips!"
Gan Ning was stunned when he heard this.
Xu Rong and Xu Chu were also shocked.
After a while, I saw two servants, one on the left and one on the right, holding a large chip in front of the pottery merchant.
I saw the pottery man fiddling with the beads and saying: "According to the regulations in Han law, people who have committed serious crimes must make up for the money before they die. The money you have hijacked in the prefecture and county township pavilions over the past year has been lost."
The property totals 73,675 yuan, in addition to the public property destroyed during the hijacking of the county and township. Calculated based on the land area... it should be 2,000 yuan per mu. The compensation for the life of the murderer and the family allowance are for each person.
Calculate it based on the ratio of 1,700 yuan..."
Gan Ning's head was buzzing as he listened to the potter's calculations and mumbling.
"Ha!" Suddenly the pottery general made some calculations and nodded: "Based on the property and human lives lost in your hands this year, you and the water bandits under your command owe the country a total of 850,000 yuan.
Six thousand nine hundred and forty-two dollars! One dollar counts as one dollar, no zeros can be added."
"puff"
The food in Gan Ning's mouth spurted out, scattering the chewed vegetables all over the floor.
The potter's eyebrows raised slightly, and he raised his hand to dial two more beads.
"It's a waste of food in the county government, and I'll add two more cents."
Gan Ning looked at the pottery merchant in disbelief, his face full of surprise.
"Han Law...when did these regulations exist? Why have I never heard of them?"
The potter hugged his arms and said slowly: "You don't even know who Xu Zijiang is, so what's so strange about not hearing about it? The law of compensation was newly added to the Han law, just to punish shameless thieves like you.
Even if I tell you the details, you won’t understand! How about it, Brother Gan, eight hundred and fifty thousand and six thousand nine hundred and forty-four dollars... pay for it!
Outside the hall, Pei Qian heard the pottery merchant's shout, strode into the hall, cupped his hands and said, "Master, please call me?"
The pottery merchant glared at him dissatisfied: "What the hell are you doing? Why are you just joining in the fun! Get out!"
"Oh." Pei Qian turned around and walked out of the hall.
Gan Ning's face turned a little dark at this moment.
After hesitating for a while, Gan Ning said dryly: "I have no money, but I have a life. You can take it."
The pottery merchant snorted and said: "You have a pretty good idea. If you don't pay back the money, you will die. Do we, the Han Dynasty, owe you this? According to the new regulations of the Han Dynasty, if you don't have money to repay, you have to do hard labor to compensate.
, I captured you and your gang of thieves this time, a total of 200 people. According to the calculation method of sending you to the mining area of Danyang County to do hard work, each of you will have a labor fee of ten yuan per month.
standard……"
Having said this, the potter reached out and fiddled with the counter again.
"You and your bandit men who were caught by me this time will have to dig mines for me in Tao's mining area for thirty-five years and seven months before we can repay all the expenses! Lord Ganzhai, clean up.
, get ready to go to the mining area tomorrow to move bricks."
Gan Ning fell silent immediately after hearing this.
When I was young...
"Luffy."
The pottery merchant raised an eyebrow: "Huh?"
"Ah, no, I'm saying, Governor Tao, otherwise... let's just make friends."
The potter crossed his arms and said slowly: "Master Ganzhai is willing to have a good chat with Tao?"
Gan Ning grinned awkwardly: "Look at what you are saying. Ever since I was born, I have never been able to do anything else. I am willing to talk to others, negotiate with them, and make friends. This is really a great blessing in life."
The corner of the pottery merchant's mouth raised slightly, and he said curiously: "You are a thief, I am an official, and I have the laws of the Han Dynasty pressing down on me. If we make friends, how would you describe it... How would we respect each other?"
Do you want to start? Isn’t this a joke?”
Gan Ning shook his head vigorously and said, "That's all superstition!"
"Oh." The pottery merchant was stunned when he heard this. He waved the two servants holding the counters to leave, and then smiled at Gan Ning and said: "In this way, we can make friends, and we can also chat normally without arguing.
Tao can understand it this way, right?"
Gan Ning gave a thumbs up to the pottery merchant and praised, "Great advice, Grand Master Tao!"
"Okay, then Lord Ganzhai, please sit down and let's continue the topic we just talked about."
