As soon as Mr. Liu finished speaking, all the merchants became angry:

"No compensation? Your son burned down our entire street, and you still dare to say no compensation?"

"Master Liu, are you disrespecting the county magistrate?"

"How dare you disobey the order of the county magistrate? Do you still have the law in your Liu family?"

"It's just..."

Everyone gathered around Master Liu and made accusations, each one of them in a rage. It seemed that if Master Liu dared to say he would not compensate them again, they would rush up and attack him.

Master Liu quickly ran to hide behind the yamen runners, pointed at everyone and said:

"You are the ones who are contemptuous of the court!"

Seeing this, Shi Lidie reached out her hand to calm everyone down. After everyone calmed down, she slowly walked out, looked at Master Liu, and said:

"It is only natural to pay back debts!"

"Master Liu, your son set fire to our entire street for a woman. Everyone was injured or disabled. He only asked you to compensate for the losses, but he hasn't asked you for medical expenses yet!"

"Are you trying to default on your debt now? Why don't we just sue you too!"

Mr. Liu's face turned red with anger, and he stiffened his neck and said:

"I didn't say I won't pay you, but your bill is too unreasonable! It's clearly an opportunity to blackmail you. How can I possibly admit it?"

Shi Lidie glanced at the bill and said:

"I collected this bill from the villagers one by one early in the morning. Can you tell me what is unreasonable about it?"

Mr. Liu pointed to the data on the bill and said:

"I don't know anything else, so I won't talk about it. I'll just talk about the Lu family tailor shop."

"Do you know what cloud pattern brocade is?"

"It is one of the three most precious brocades in the entire Dayin Dynasty, Huazhou Xiaguang Brocade, Qingzhou Fuguang Brocade, and Cangzhou Yunwen Brocade. No matter which one, the annual output of these three brocades is only forty or fifty pieces."

"Among them, the number of pieces of cloud pattern brocade that will be presented to the emperor and sold to dignitaries will not exceed five pieces."

"Even the Liu family, who specialize in this business, have only collected one piece in three years. How can a small tailor shop like yours have ten pieces of cloud-patterned brocade?"

"According to the market price, cloud pattern brocade has been sold for 300 taels of silver per piece among the common people. For these ten pieces of yours, wouldn't that cost me taels?"

"Not to mention snow satin and silk cloth, isn't this just blackmail?"

Shi Lidie listened to him talk so much, but did not refute him. She just waited for him to finish and said:

"This is just your guess. You look down on our Lu's tailor shop, so you think we don't have cloud pattern brocade, but we do have it."

"What evidence do you have to prove that you have it?" asked Mr. Liu.

"What evidence do you have that we don't have it?"

"You are simply... making trouble!"

"I think you want to default on your debt?"

Shi Lidie refused to give in, which made Mr. Liu very angry.

The two men were deadlocked in the court, and the county magistrate slammed the gavel and reminded them:

"If either of you has any evidence you can produce, please bring it out immediately. My time is precious and I don't have time to listen to you guys arguing."

After hearing this, Shi Lidie immediately smiled and saluted the county magistrate:

"Now that you have spoken, I won't hide it anymore."

"Master Liu, you said we don't have cloud pattern brocade and that we are blackmailing people, but if I can produce evidence, will you compensate according to the bill?"

Master Liu nodded firmly:

"I am not a unreasonable woman like you. If you really have evidence, please show it to me. As long as it is true, I will accept this bill!"

Shi Lidie was waiting for this sentence, and she immediately said:

"Good! Master Liu is generous!"

"In that case, I won't keep you in suspense. What Mr. Liu was questioning just now was that the Lu family's tailor shop didn't have cloud pattern brocade, so he suspected that the bill was fake."

"But I want to say that the Lu family's tailor shop not only has cloud pattern brocade, but also has thirteen pieces in total."

"Ten horses were burned in the fire last night, and we only had time to save three. If I take out these three pieces of cloud-patterned brocade, can it prove that what I said is true?"

Master Liu looked at her suspiciously and said disdainfully:

"Do you really think that cloud pattern brocade is something that is commonplace? There are thirteen pieces, you can show them out first!"

"Please send two people to follow me back to the tailor shop now so I can show it to everyone," said Shi Lidie.

The county magistrate agreed and immediately sent two yamen runners to follow him.

On the way back to the tavern, Shi Lidie called the crazy system in her mind:

"Ah Feng, I want to buy three pieces of cloud pattern brocade."

【I knew it. 】

Ah Feng rolled his eyes and said:

【Three pieces of cloth, 3 points.】

"Please put it in the locker in the mall first, and I'll get it when I get home." Shi Lidie said.

This was the plan Shi Lidie had thought of before going to bed last night -

Liu Wenzhong was vicious. In order to help Song Miaomiao deal with her, he actually killed an entire street of people and didn't care about human life at all.

The Liu family, which cultivated such a person, must not be a good family.

Therefore, Shi Lidie wanted to make the Liu family bleed heavily.

So early in the morning, she united all the merchants on the street and gave them advice, asking them to report their losses in a higher amount.

Two or three times is not too much, four or five times is not too little.

People have always had a filter for Shi Lidie. After all, she is a woman who can talk to God, so of course they will do whatever she says!

So, Mr. Liu had the shocking bill in his hands.

Shi Lidie expected that Mr. Liu would not compensate obediently, and also expected that Mr. Liu would target the Lu family's tailor shop based on the Liu family's business.

Therefore, this cloud pattern brocade must be exchanged.

Shi Lidie studied the things in the system mall last night, and they were truly good value for money.

Except for things that are inconsistent with the development level of this world, they will be sold at a higher price——

For example, the "Basic Disease Detector" is something from the plane of highly developed technology, while the "Rain-Inducing Talisman" and "Thunder-Inducing Talisman" are things from the plane of cultivating immortals.

Neither of these two things conforms to the development level of the ancient dimension, so the prices are very high.

However, products that are in line with the market conditions of ancient society, whether it is "Black Jade Paste" or Cloud Pattern Brocade, although rare in this world, have already been mass-produced in other dimensions.

Therefore, Shi Lidie only needs to spend 3 points to buy three pieces of cloud pattern brocade.

Aya looked at Shi Lidie's cautious steps and asked:

[Host, are three pieces of cloud pattern brocade enough? ]

[What if Mr. Liu still refuses to admit it? ]

"Three pieces are enough." Shi Lidie said, "In this world, cloud pattern brocade is not only a rare brocade, but also a symbol of status and wealth."

Anyone who is able to get cloud pattern brocade must either have high status and extensive connections, and be friends with the people who make cloud pattern brocade, or be extremely rich and able to buy so many pieces.

Mr. Liu puts himself in others' shoes——

The Liu family paid such a huge price and took three years to buy a piece of cloud-patterned brocade, which is now placed in the Embroidery Workshop as the store's treasure.

Then Shi Lidie has more cloud pattern brocade, which is obviously more powerful than he imagined.

He couldn't afford to offend, so he could only admit defeat.

So he has to pay this money for sure!
