With a thud, the Li Family mother and son were thrown into the courthouse. Young Master Dou stood arrogantly with his chin up, glaring at them. If it weren't for being in the courthouse, he would've stepped on their backs as he spoke.
"Lord County Magistrate, this shrewish mother and son startled my family's carriage, almost costing me my life when I got thrown out. Afterwards, they brazenly accused my family's carriage of hitting her son, demanding a hundred taels of silver in compensation!" Young Master Dou raised a finger and said, "Lord County Magistrate, according to Great Chu Criminal Law, extorting over a hundred taels of silver is a major crime, punishable by exile over a thousand miles. I urge you to handle this impartially."
Hiss, Lord Zheng eyed Young Master Dou, thinking he was more than deserving of a beating, but Master Ouyang had said Young Master Dou was the principal financier of the new bank.
