The onlookers realized too, this was a setup by someone with intent.
"Don't distort the truth," Chen Bin sneered coldly at Brother Pao across from him: "Since you can't produce the salt permit, just return my silver. Is what I gave you not genuine silver?"
The observing officials also jeered: "Yes, even if you've been set up, just give the silver back to him."
Brother Pao shook his head: "No need to return it."
Chen Bin laughed heartily: "Then there's nothing more to say, let's meet at the Shuntian Prefect's office!"
Brother Pao motioned to someone behind him: "I said there's no need to return it because at Meihua Ferry Crossing we just happen to have twenty thousand salt permits. Although the seller from last night ran away, we at Meihua Ferry Crossing can still supply these permits."
Er Dao led people carrying several large chests into the crowd and placed them on the ground.
