What Should I Do If I Don't Return the Money I Owe?
However, some people who had been pessimistic about this new official from the beginning shook their heads and said disapprovingly.
"I don't think so. Even commoners like us can think of redistributing them together, but he, a county magistrate, thought of such an unnecessary method. To put it nicely, it was unnecessary, but to put it bluntly, he was incompetent.”
"That's right. Perhaps this official position was bought by his father, who was the prime minister, with money. Which of the sons of the officials isn't like this? Moreover…"
However, before that person could finish speaking, a peacemaker from the side hurriedly interrupted him.
"You better shut up. It's a big crime to talk about the people of the official family. He's even the current emperor's son-in-law. Do you want your life after saying that?”
"That's right, no matter how much we talk here, it's still the Magistrate who's going to judge the case. We'd better not talk too much and see how the Magistrate will resolve it.”
At the same time, Liu Cai heard Fang Jun's words and looked at his younger brother beside him. He cupped his hands and said,"Milord, you may not know this, but we brothers only found out about our father's will after the funeral.”
"Oh, is that so? Since that's the case, it's not feasible according to the law I just said.”
Fang Jun rubbed his chin and said.
After a pause, he said," How about this? You both think that the other party has more than you. Why don't you just exchange them?" Liu Wen felt that Liu Cai had more than you, so he would give Liu Cai's to Liu Wen, and Liu Wen's to Liu Cai. This way, both of them would get what they felt was more. What do you think?”
The two brothers still wanted to say something, but the discussions at the entrance of the county government all said that this method was feasible.
Even the people who didn't approve of Fang Jun changed their tone.
And that was the truth. This method was indeed feasible.
Liu Wen and Liu Cai were also stunned.
Originally, the two of them wanted to take more of each other's things, but the county magistrate did not play by the rules.
Moreover, now that things had come to this, it would be ridiculous if they felt that this method was inappropriate.
Thus, the two of them exchanged their money with tears in their eyes and went home.
There was a commotion at the entrance of the county government.
Everyone said that the county magistrate's method was good and wonderful.
Finally, Chen Sheng flipped through the book. Before he could remember to speak, he saw a middle-aged man who looked rather wealthy pulling a fan seller into the court.
Fang Jun picked up the gavel and placed it on the table. The crisp sound rang out again, and the court immediately fell silent.
He looked at the two people in the hall, cleared his throat, sat upright, and asked like the people in the TV series in the past,"Who are you?"
The middle-aged man quickly pulled the peddler and cupped his hands.
"This commoner Wang Gang greets the county magistrate.”
The peddler at the side was so scared that he was trembling. He curled up his body and lowered his head, cupping his hands in a trembling voice.
"I am Zhang San, kowtow, kowtow to the great master Qingtian.”
Fang Jun saw Zhang San's expression and couldn't help but laugh out loud. He said kindly,"There's no need to be nervous."
Then he asked Wang Gang,"What are you complaining about?"”
Wang Gang then cupped his hands again and said," I hope that the Magistrate will help me. A few days ago, Zhang San borrowed money from a commoner, saying that he was selling fans and would return it to me after he made money. However, three or four months have passed. Zhang San can't even be found, let alone return the money. If I hadn't met him on the street today, I'm afraid he wouldn't have returned the money."”
"Oh? There were still people who didn't pay their debts?”
"Zhang San, it's only right to pay your debts." How can you borrow money for three or four months without paying it back?”
Zhang San was already at a loss. He hurriedly waved his hand and said after a long time,"Replying to Milord, this lowly one did borrow money from him, and indeed wanted to return the money after earning money from selling the fan. However, the weather has turned cold, and people don't need fans anymore. This lowly one has lost everything. Even if he wanted to return the money, he wouldn't be able to take out the money.”
"Then why didn't you explain it to Wang Gang? Instead, you let him look for you for three or four months? Do you know that to put it more seriously, you're fleeing from punishment?”
When Zhang San heard this, he was at a loss for words and fell to the ground.
He had never thought that he would be brought to court just because he did not pay back the money, nor did he think that he would be guilty of such a big crime.
He was really panicking. He still had his wife and children to support at home. If he were to go to jail today because of this…
Zhang San didn't dare to think about it anymore. He begged again and again, so flustered that he couldn't even speak clearly.
"Sir, please investigate clearly. I didn't run away to avoid punishment. I really can't pay back that much silver. If the weather turns cold, who needs a fan? I still have to feed the elderly and the young. I can't be thrown into prison and lose my life! Lord, please have mercy!"
Fang Jun's eyes twitched.
Could this person's imagination be any more vivid? Who said he was going to jail? Who said he was going to die? If you owe money, you should pay it back.
When the commoners at the entrance of the county government saw this, their discussions rose and fell.
"This matter is difficult to handle. The heavens were not on his side. If he could not sell the fan, how could he pay back the money?”
"Yes, the county magistrate even made it sound so serious. Isn't this a deliberate threat?"
When the onlookers heard this, they interjected,"Sigh, this brother, you can't say that. This matter can be considered big or small. You can't say it's a threat.”
"You didn't pay back your debt for three months and even went missing. How can you not get to the point?”
"Yes, but this matter is very difficult to handle. Do you think the county magistrate will use his own money to pay off Zhang San's debt and ask Zhang San to return it later?”
A woman observed the situation in the court and shook her head.
"I don't think so. Even if the county magistrate pays it back for him, Zhang San will only change his debt holder. He won't be able to sell the fan and still won't have the money to pay the county magistrate back.”
"Tsk, this is really difficult."
"I wonder what the county magistrate will do this time.”
The crowd discussed.
Fang Jun got someone to comfort Zhang San and took Zhang San's fan to examine it carefully.
Suddenly, Fang Jun stood up with a fan in his hand and asked the crowd at the door,"Is there anyone who wants to buy this fan?"
Everyone shook their heads, and someone whispered to the god,"This fan is boring. Who would buy it? Moreover, the weather was turning cold. Why would he buy it?”
Fang Jun listened to them. Indeed, no matter how good the fan's workmanship was, the fan's surface was so monotonous and boring, coupled with the change in weather, tsk, there was no hope.
Fang Jun could only put away his fan and sit back down.
"Forget it. We can only do this."
