Chapter 772: Lawsuit
After the lawyers saw the witnesses, it took two days to write a wonderful statement, Gu Yun and the shareholders of the joint recital were also prepared separately, Ning Peilan and Tong Mingli made an appointment again, so they did not delay any longer, handed over the pleadings, the recital statement, the Pomegranate Society sisters gathering, and the three parties carried out simultaneously.
The book entered the palace before the early dynasty, and was collected by a special person and sent to the imperial study, and after the early dynasty ended, the sage went to the study to manage the government, and you can see the latest minister's book today.
The ten-member lawyer group waited in the teahouse near Yingtian Mansion, waiting for Lord Yin to come back from the next court, and was the first to hand over the form.
At the same time, Tong Mingli took the famous dim sum specially ordered by Liang Zhongshan to prepare by Lanzhu, and first went to the Chengjun Wangfu to meet Ning Peilan, and then the two took a sedan chair to the women's tea room, where Bai Ko was waiting for them, and she also prepared some food.
The sage went down to the study, saw today's latest recital, habitually looked at the author's name on the cover first, read it one by one, and suddenly saw Gu Yun's name, and below him was another joint excerpt written by Shi Tianmin, and hurriedly pulled out these two books to read first.
From beginning to end, the saint's feelings have also changed a few times, from surprise to anger to helplessness, and when he finished reading the two books, he was speechless, looking at the time, I am afraid that the paper has already been sent to Yingtianfu.
In the past few days, the sage has heard the news that Gu Yun's farm business has gone wrong, and many people have mentioned it in his ears a few times, but seeing that no further news has come out, the sage didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was just an ordinary contradiction, where could he expect Gu Yun to make such a big move!
Gu Yun's recital has a copy of the contract attached to it, no matter how you look at it, it is fair to the extreme, there are no terms full of deception and traps, and the price offered is also within the market price range, and the sage can't understand for a while what reason the villagers are based on to tear up the contract.
After thinking about it, the sage still couldn't suppress his curiosity about this lawsuit, and sent someone to Yingtianfu to pass on the message, he wanted to know the details of the lawsuit.
In the second hall of Yingtian Mansion, Lord Yin is already a sweat, and the content of the paper is an ordinary number of words, but the list of defendants is thick, and more than 1,000 people are defendants, which is also an unheard of spectacle.
"Do you really want to sue? Why don't the government preside over the mediation between the two sides? ”
"My lord, it's not that Gu Shizi deliberately embarrassed the adult, it's really that the villagers' reasons for tearing up the contract are too far-fetched, and they haven't been able to give a convincing reason until now, it's all one sentence upside down, that is, Gu Shizi deceived them, and you just read the content of the contract, but which one can't live with the villagers? Got a trap? Therefore, this lawsuit must be fought, not mediated, not selfish, and must be defended clearly in the court, what is the real reason why the villagers tore up the contract and accused Gu Shizi of deceiving people can be revealed, and Gu Shizi will be given justice and his reputation restored. ”
The ten-member litigation team was led by an old scribe who was in charge of writing the closing letter in the Criminal Department, and he said to Fu Yin.
"How can the defendants of more than 1,000 people be brought to court? Shouldn't this government send an army over? ”
"But if you don't send them to court, won't this lawsuit become a confused lawsuit? Who will compensate for the loss of Gu Shizi's reputation? Gu Yun, the son of Ye Guogong, is a young man, gentle and elegant, and has always been low-key, only high-profile when playing polo, and has never had any bad habits that make people look sideways. Such a young man who has always had a good reputation among the people of the capital, he is from a good background, but he is reasonable, why should he carry the black cauldron that has nothing to do with him? Sir, do you think that's the truth? ”
Fu Yin was asked, picked up the teacup and was thinking about what to do, the sage's dictation arrived, to know the details of this lawsuit, Fu Yin felt that his eyes were dark, but he immediately came to the spirit again and accepted the paper.
If we want to bring all these more than 1,000 defendants to court, it is bound to make a big disturbance, so I just want to ask the opinion of the saint and ask for a cheap will.
The government accepted the complaint, and the case was filed, and the lawyers' task today was successfully completed, and the defendants only had to appear in court in a few days.
After the lawyers left, this lawsuit immediately spread throughout the capital, and the official offices of the imperial court were still the first to get the news, and the officials were also dumbfounded, and the colleagues of the Ministry of Rites immediately went to Gu Yun'an, the Duke of Yeguo, to inquire about the details, and sighed that he was really calm and did not disclose the news at all.
After Liang Zhongshan heard about it in the Hanlin Academy, he was shocked and then angry, and he was so angry that he broke the brush in his hand.
Gu Yun's methods were completely beyond their expectations, he did not use the usual methods of the powerful to deal with similar things at all, but directly sued all the more than 1,000 villagers who signed the contract to court?
The children of the powerful drag civilians to lawsuits?
Shame or shame?!
Liang Zhongshan thought of Gu Xu, threw down the pen that was broken in two, and went out to talk to him about this gossip, the main purpose was naturally to ask him if he knew anything in advance.
Gu Xu was also surrounded by his colleagues, he was dumbfounded when he learned the news, the last time he talked to Gu Yun, Gu Yun didn't show any tone at all, but according to the time, at that time, he had already started to prepare for a lawsuit, but he didn't say a word at home, and Gu Jing also had a part in the joint folding of the shareholders, but he kept his eldest brother and sister-in-law secret, and he felt a little unhappy in his heart, and his face was not very good-looking.
When Liang Zhongshan saw Gu Yun's reaction, he knew that he didn't know anything, and it seemed that Gu Yun had only united the shareholders with a joint letter, and Gu Xu was not a shareholder.
This discovery made Liang Zhongshan feel that he had a chance to make a fuss, Gu Yun pulled his buddies and brothers to do business as shareholders, Gu Xu actually did not participate, but Gu Jing also had a share, could it be that Gu Xu, the eldest brother, was excluded?
It seems that the three elder brothers of Gu Fu are not as close as outsiders think.
No matter what means Gu Yun uses to deal with it, anyway, the purpose of causing trouble for him has been achieved, and the lawsuit is not so simple, and the defendants of more than 1,000 people will make Yingtianfu feel big just by appearing in court to respond to the lawsuit.
Since Gu Yun wants to focus on his lawsuit now, I don't think he has the heart to pay attention to his eldest brother and his sister anymore, so he can arrange for Yang Mi to visit.
Gu Yun didn't give Gu Xu, the eldest brother, good benefits, so they would give it here.
Thinking like this, Liang Zhongshan felt that he was in a much better mood again, pushed aside the crowd and hugged Gu Xu's shoulders, took him to the side to talk, asked him to have dinner together at noon, and talked about some follow-ups to the last women's gathering, whose lady fell in love with whose daughter, and men were good at gossiping.
Seeing that Liang Zhongshan was not talking about Gu Yun's lawsuit, Gu Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and when he wanted to talk about that party, he naturally couldn't avoid Yang Mi, who saved his mother and sister, although Gu Yun and Gu Jing had already thanked him in Fuxue, but Gu Xu had not expressed it, so he naturally proposed to invite Yang Mi to the banquet and invite Yang Mi to his home as a guest.
Liang Zhongshan smiled and narrowed his eyes, and agreed, and the matter was settled.
