Delivering Old Man Zhen to the government for punishment went very smoothly.
The reason was simple, the Lord County Magistrate's son also participated in the entire firefighting process and understood how the fire started, as well as the damage it brought.
Zhang Qian thought he would be burned to death today.
Then, the villagers one by one showed their burns to the Lord County Magistrate, seeking compensation.
Ruo Xuan, "Burns are unsightly. Apart from the cost for medicine, we also need compensation for scar removal ointments."
The villagers chorused, "Right!"
Although they didn't care about scars on their bodies, who wouldn't be happy to receive more silver?
As a result, Old Man Zhen was fined to pay the Ruo Family ten taels for the burned wasteland's damage, and three taels of silver to each villager who fought the fire as compensation for medical expenses and damage to clothing.
About one hundred villagers participated in the firefighting.
