When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

Chapter 402 The Mi Family Lost the Lawsuit

Mr. Mi snorted coldly: "I know exactly what you want to do, but I'm telling you, your plan will fail!

It is impossible for you to achieve your goal by accusing me of something I have not done!"

He Zhili's eyes shone, and he didn't waste words with Master Mi, and said directly to Master Lu:

"Sir, I can ask the people who were present that day to testify!"

Lord Lu nodded: "Bring the witness to the court."

A huge group of people were led in by the yamen runners. Mr. Mi felt very complicated when he saw these people who used to be his brothers.

He laughed at himself: "As expected! Conscience is worthless in front of interests!"

Some of the people in the group felt ashamed after hearing this, some remained calm, and some snorted in disdain.

The people at the gate were suddenly excited, and the buzz of discussion was endless.

"Hey! Mr. Mi said it wasn't him."

"No one can admit it. It's the treasure of the store. How much silver does it cost?"

"Haven't you heard that Mr. Mi paid the money in advance? The relationship between the two families should be good. It shouldn't be Mr. Mi, right?"

"Tsk! Who can say for sure? Maybe Mr. Mi was also interested in it at that time."

"We used to have a good relationship, but now with this happening, I'm afraid the relationship between the two families is over."

"Forget it. They are still on good terms. I heard that the He family has taken away a lot of the Mi family's business. I'm afraid this relationship has long been in name only."

"With so many witnesses, Mr. Mi is likely to lose the case today."

"Didn't you hear what Master Mi said? There is something of interest involved here."

"Oh my god, with so many people testifying, is Mr. Mi so unpopular?"

"If one person can give false testimony, how can so many people give false testimony? I think it must be Mr. Mi who did it."

"The world is deteriorating, and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be."

"Why do some people here look so guilty? Is there something hidden?"

"It's interesting. We can't understand the minds of rich people. We can just watch the fun."

Lord Lu waited for a while before banging the gavel, and the hall immediately quieted down.

Lord Lu: "Are you all here to testify for He Zhili?"

Everyone: "Yes, we are all here to testify for He Zhili."

To be cautious, Lord Lu interrogated the witnesses one by one, but what they said was exactly the same.

Lord Lu curled the corner of his mouth. It seemed that the He family had put in a lot of effort, but these people did not turn against them.

He listened carefully to every detail, nodded or frowned slightly from time to time, and had already made a preliminary judgment in his mind.

"Mi Yunzheng, do you have any evidence to submit, or witnesses?"

Mr. Mi seemed to have given up. He shook his head:

"Sir, there is no one to testify for me. You can judge for yourself."

The atmosphere in the hall became increasingly tense, and everyone held their breath, waiting for Lord Lu's verdict.

Lord Lu pondered for a moment, then decisively slammed the gavel:

"Based on the testimony of the plaintiff, the defendant, and the witnesses, I have found the defendant guilty of negligently damaging the plaintiff's treasure. The defendant Mi Yunzheng must compensate the plaintiff with the gift of He Zhili, the colored glaze Qilin, or an equivalent amount of silver!"

The people at the gate began another heated discussion.

"Well, Mr. Mi lost, right?"

"Oh! How much money will the Mi family have to pay in compensation?"

"Tsk tsk, the Mi family is going to be in trouble."

"The He family is proud of themselves this time, but the Mi family is finished."

"That's right. You didn't see that there were many members of the Yan family who came to testify, and some of them seemed to have a very good relationship with the He family."

"Ah! Mr. Mi is quite pitiful. He has to face so many people alone. How can he not lose?"

Lord Lu slammed the gavel, and the bailiffs hurried to maintain order at the scene, and the common people also quickly fell silent.

Lord Lu: "Mi Yunzheng, do you have anything to say?"

Mr. Mi remained calm, as if he had anticipated the verdict. He said:

"Sir, I was also present when this glazed Qilin was auctioned. There were two glazed Qilins at the time. One was bought by the He family, and the other was a little bigger and more valuable, which was bought by another noble.

Haha, by chance, I got to know that noble man, and now I have used all the shops and 70% of the business of my Mi family to successfully buy the Glazed Qilin in his hand."

He Zhili's face suddenly changed. What? Master Mi spent 70% of the Mi family's money to buy the Glazed Kirin?

When Master Mi saw that He Lao Er had a gloomy face, he laughed heartily:

"Haha... So, I'll compensate them with a colored glaze Qilin from the He family. This one is several times more valuable than the original one they had.

Just think of it as the tuition fee I, Mi Yunzheng, pay for my poor judgment of people!"

Mr. Mi clasped his fists and said to the people in front of him, "Everyone, I, Mi, am learning from you."

Everyone: ...This...

Mr. Mi: I told you guys to take over my Mi family’s business, but I would rather give it to others than to you villains!

He Zhili's eyes turned red with anger, and he pointed at Master Mi tremblingly: "You...you..."

Mr. Mi smiled mockingly and said loudly:

"Didn't I tell you that your plan would fail? Have you forgotten?"

So this is what he was planning!

Lord Lu was stunned for a moment, then quickly regained his seriousness and said:

"In that case, the case is settled today." The Mi family has agreed to compensate, so the case is over!

Mr. Mi said loudly:

"Sir, wait, I no longer have faith in the character of the He family, so I hope to hand over the Glazed Kirin to you in front of all the elders and fellow villagers, and then you can pass it to He Zhili.

From now on, my Mi family will no longer have any business dealings with the He family or the Yan family, so it is better to return it in public."

Uh... this is hard to refuse, their request is reasonable.

Although the Mi family lost the lawsuit, everyone now believes that they were framed.

Isn't that weird?!

Lord Lu: "Okay! Then open your eyes to see what the treasure that the Mi family spent most of their wealth to buy looks like."

Mr. Mi clasped his fists and bowed, then he asked his personal servant to inform his wife.

Not long after, Mrs. Mi, who had been waiting near the yamen, came to the lobby with her men carrying a large box.

Mrs. Mi looked at the people from the He family and those who testified for them.

Many people here have done business with Mrs. Mi, and when they saw her looking at them, many of them avoided her out of guilt.

Mrs. Mi unlocked the box herself, and a larger and more dazzling glazed Qilin appeared before everyone.

“Ah…hiss…sounds of surprise and admiration intertwined together.”

"It's really a treasure, much prettier than the one from the He family."

"That's right, otherwise how could the Mi family spend such a huge price to buy it."

"The Mi family spent a lot of money this time."
