Chapter 168 How do you plan to compensate?
Lin Yong was secretly shocked.
His thugs were all warriors, but they were knocked down at the first encounter.
Looking at the two people who had just attacked, their eyes were cold and their moves were ruthless, as if they were really ruthless characters who had killed people.
"What on earth are you trying to do, sir? Don't think you can scare me by sending two martial artists here. If you can't explain today's events to me, don't even think about leaving this restaurant."
Lin Yong's words were not without basis. With the financial resources of his Lin family, how could there be no warriors to rely on?
Chen Changfan chuckled, "I think you should explain it to me first. Do you know the Dawu Law and the punishment for selling inferior goods or counterfeiting them?"
Lin Yong's eyes flashed with a hint of guilt, but when he saw many diners looking at him, he immediately pretended to be tough and said, "The goods in my shop have always been genuine and at fair prices. There is no way we are selling inferior goods or counterfeit goods!"
"Why don't you dare answer me? If so, how should you be punished?" Chen Changfan's eyes shot towards Lin Yong, as if he could see through him completely.
Lin Yong gritted his teeth and said, "Selling inferior goods as good ones, selling fakes and making counterfeit goods. According to Dawu law, you must pay ten times the price for the fake goods!"
This is what Chen Changfan was waiting for.
"Alright! Then you used a golden carp to impersonate a redtail, and sold fake braised redtail for ten taels of silver per plate. You must pay ten times that amount in compensation!"
Lin Yong sneered, "If you say it's fake, then it's fake? Do you have any evidence?"
Although Lin Yong appeared calm on the surface, he was already a little panicked inside.
How did he know it was a golden carp?
Redtail carp are rare and expensive, but the golden carp raised by his Lin family are very cheap.
This time, all the restaurant properties of the wealthy family were seized in order to sell the golden carp they raised at the price of red tail.
The profits are huge and the method is secretive. Ordinary diners cannot tell the difference between golden carp and red tail.
"Evidence?" Chen Changfan picked up the fish on the ground with a smile and showed it to the onlookers.
"Everyone, there is a very thin red line on Akao's back, which is the essence of Akao.
Eating can help warriors improve their qi and blood, and can also help ordinary people get rid of some common diseases.
But the back of this golden carp is all yellow, and the meat has a faint earthy smell.
It has no effect on replenishing qi and blood, and it doesn’t taste as delicious as the real redtail.”
After hearing this, everyone took a closer look and found that it was just as Chen Changfan said. Especially some warrior diners, they also said that they didn’t feel warm all over after eating braised red tail at Shiweizhai recently. It turned out that they had eaten fake food!
"You... you're talking nonsense! This is Akao! I spent a lot of money to buy this Akao!"
Even though he was exposed by Chen Changfan on the spot, Lin Yong still insisted.
"Since you bought them, their number must be very small. But your waiter just said that there are not just a hundred redtails, but at least a thousand. May I ask, where did you buy all these thousand redtails?"
When asked this by Chen Changfan, Lin Yong was speechless again.
"Lin Qi!"
The waiter who was arrogant at first but respectful later came forward tremblingly.
"Did you say anything like that just now?"
"Little one, little one did say..." Many diners heard what he just said, so it was no use for him to lie.
"Useless things!"
Lin Yong was so angry that he kicked Lin Qi over, then looked at Chen Changfan and forced a smile.
He now finally realized that this seemingly ordinary young man was actually not a simple person, so he wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter. After all, he was the one selling and making counterfeit goods, and if the matter got out of hand, he would be the one who would suffer.
"Sir, I've verified that the fish just now was a mistake in the kitchen. The chef mistakenly cooked a golden carp instead of a redtail. I'm truly sorry. How about this: I'll pay for the meal and let this matter be put to rest. What do you think?"
Chen Changfan sneered, "Do you think it's possible? Selling counterfeit goods or making counterfeit goods, according to Dawu law, you must pay ten times the price for each counterfeit!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Wei and Zhang Yi stepped forward and looked at Lin Yong unkindly, as if they would take action the next moment if he refused.
Lin Yong gritted his teeth in hatred, "Fine! Isn't it just a hundred taels of silver? I'll pay it."
As he said this, he took out a hundred taels of silver from his pocket with a painful look on his face and was about to hand it to Chen Changfan.
But the other party didn't answer at all.
"Shopkeeper Lin might have made a mistake. If it's fake, we'll compensate you tenfold. That's not just a hundred taels of silver."
Lin Yong said angrily, "You only spent ten taels of silver, and I directly compensated you with a hundred taels, and you're still not satisfied?"
"You can ask that guy named Lin Qi how much I spent in total." The smile in Chen Changfan's eyes became more and more obvious.
Lin Yong was suddenly stunned and turned to look at Lin Qi. Seeing the latter trembling, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
"How much silver did he spend in total?"
Lin Qi was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat. He timidly said, "One... one thousand taels of silver. He bought a hundred braised redtails."
"Idiot! He said he wanted a hundred, so you sold them to him! Idiot! Idiot!"
Lin Yong was so angry that he punched and kicked Lin Qi, but before he could vent his anger, he felt his neck suddenly become cold, and a big knife with a ring handle was already on his neck.
Chen Changfan's voice, tinged with laughter, came slowly from behind him, "Shopkeeper Lin, we agreed to pay ten times the price for a fake product. How are you going to compensate me for this ten thousand taels of silver?"
A drop of cold sweat slid down Lin Yong's forehead. He suddenly had a premonition in his heart that if he dared to say "no", he was afraid that the other party would really kill him with a knife.
"I'll give it to you. I will definitely give it to you. Put down the knife first and let's talk it over..."
Lin Yong no longer had the arrogance he had just had when he claimed to be a member of the Lin family. He was now trembling with fear and wished he could kneel down and beg for mercy from Chen Changfan immediately.
"After seven days, no! After five days, ten thousand taels of silver will be delivered to your house. What do you think?"
"Not very good. I have no patience. If it's my money and I'm late for even a moment, I'll be so anxious that I want to kill someone."
"Then...then what do you want?" Lin Yong's voice was already filled with tears.
"I heard that when Manager Lin bought this shop, he spent exactly 10,000 taels of silver..."
As soon as Chen Changfan finished speaking, Shopkeeper Fu beside him suddenly froze.
It was not until now that he finally understood his boss's intentions.
It turned out that the boss came here to take back Shiweizhai.
"You want to buy this store for just 10,000 taels? You're dreaming! This store is worth at least 20,000 taels!"
Lin Yong suddenly became anxious.
The reason he was able to buy this store for 12,000 yuan was naturally because it was backed by the Lin family. He was really getting a great bargain.
But if he were asked to sell it for ten thousand taels of silver, it would be more painful than killing him.
"I think you want money more than life, so—"
Chen Changfan's voice turned completely cold, and the blade moved lightly -
"Please spare my life, my dear! Please spare my life! This Shiweizhai is yours. I am willing to sell it to you!"
The murderous aura coming from the blade almost scared Lin Yong to death. He gritted his teeth and finally agreed with a painful look on his face.
