Dachang went out of the yamen, entered the yamen as he wished, copied Dachang's pleadings and the two contracts, and hurried back to reply.

Gu Xi was in Ming'an Palace, and together with Gu Jin, he checked a few old accounts of the household department.

Seeing Ruyi dangling past the entrance of the hall, Gu Xi signaled to Wen Cheng, who was explaining an old case, "Take a break, Ruyi is back." ”

Wen Cheng knew that Ruyi was going to listen to the case, but Gu Jin didn't know it, and looked at Gu Xi.

Gu Xi called Ruyi and said with a smile to Gu Jin: "When I came here just now, I heard that Dachang went to the yamen to hand over the form, so I asked Ruyi to go over and see what was going on." ”

Gu Jin's eyebrows raised.

Miss Li handed back the letter last time, and pit 30,000 silver from the Yongping Marquis Mansion, and today she handed over the letter again, what do you want to do?

"Tell me, what's going on?" Gu Xi gestured as he wished.

"Yes. Chang Shan handed over the complaint, suing the owners of the two tabloids that Shunfeng handled and sold to Sizhou: Dong Shu'an and Lin Jianmu.

It is said that Miss Li had an agreement with Dong Shu'an and Lin Jianmu that in the four prefectures of Chen, Ying, Shou and Wuwei, Miss Li would exclusively sell these two tabloids.

The contract also stipulates that if Dong Shu'an and Lin Jianmu violate the contract and sell the tabloid to another family to sell in Sizhou, they will pay Miss Li one or two pieces of silver for each tabloid sold. ”

Wen Cheng choked when he heard a tabloid tael of silver.

Gu Jin's eyebrows were raised, and Gu Xi laughed out loud.

A tabloid for a tael of silver, this is too ruthless.

"This contract, Dong Shu'an and Lin Jianmu signed and drew it?" Wen Cheng asked in disbelief.

"Yes, the little one saw the contract, with the signature, the monogram, and the handprint.

In the hall just now, Dong Shu'an and Lin Jianmu said that Miss Li was joking at the time, and they hadn't read this contract at all, and they had never heard of any contracts for buying tabloids.

Dong Shu'an and Lin Jianmu also said that it had been two or three months since they sold the tabloid to Sihai Tongda and then to Sizhou. ”

Gu Xi's eyebrows furrowed.

"Chang Shan said that the reason why they didn't stop it at that time was because their boss was too honest and couldn't believe that there were people in the world who were treacherous......"

Gu Jin burst out laughing. Gu Xi glanced at Gu Jin obliquely.

Wen Cheng couldn't laugh or cry on his face.

Their boss is too honest, how can Dachang say such words?

Chang Shan said that the eldest of his family personally ran around Sizhou and saw it on the spot before he dared to believe that it was true.

said that they had waited for a while, to give Dong Lin and his family a chance to repent.

After personally verifying and giving me a chance, it was already in the lunar month, and I couldn't sue for the New Year, so I waited until the New Year, and I hurried to sue after the New Year.

Shi Fuyin said that the case was serious, and he wanted to investigate the facts, and then make a judgment, saying that it would be tried again tomorrow. ”

Ruyi said, and held the copy of the paper and the two contracts to Gu Xi.

Gu Xi took it, motioned Ruyi to step back, looked at it at a glance, handed the paper and contract to Gu Jin, looked at Wen Cheng and asked, "This is Lu Hepeng's handwriting?" ”

"Approximately." Wen Cheng took the contract from Gu Jin's hand and glanced at it a few times, and there was no expression on his face, "As soon as we came back, Lu Hepeng asked me for leave, saying that Miss Li, from Chenzhou to Wuwei Prefecture, there are a bunch of small lawsuits to fight, and he has to take a long vacation."

Unexpectedly, there was also a lawsuit in this Jianle City. ”

"This is not a small lawsuit, more than 1.6 million silver." Gu Jin finished reading the pleadings and handed it to Wen Cheng, "Lu Hepeng's lawsuit is also such a lawsuit?" ”

"I didn't ask much, I really didn't expect a lawsuit to be more than 1.6 million taels." Wen Cheng stared at the extraordinarily thick silver count on the paper, not knowing whether he wanted to laugh or be distressed, he really didn't expect it!

"Miss Li's business, is it because of these lawsuits to make money?" Gu Jin had a whim.

"How will Shifu Yin judge?" Gu Xi didn't answer Gu Jin's words, looked at Wen Cheng, and asked with a twisted eyebrow.

"This lawsuit is as simple as it is." Wen Cheng put the paper on the kang table, "If it is a matter of facts, there is this contract, what can be entangled is just one more tabloid or one less, according to Miss Li's cautious week, this number will definitely not be wrong."

But if you really want to judge the case according to this more than 1.6 million silver, the Dong Lin family, not to mention the bankruptcy, this is really too child's play and too scoundrel. ”

"What's the scoundrel?" Gu Xi was unhappy when he heard this, and looked at Wen Cheng, "The contract was made by him, Miss Li neither deceived nor coerced, he admitted it himself."

If you don't believe in your words, shouldn't you go bankrupt? ”

Wen Cheng stopped talking.

Gu Jin glanced at Gu Xi obliquely, for a moment, looked at Wen Cheng and said: "This matter is indeed not the fault of Miss Li, the Dong Lin family and Miss Li agreed first, and the dishonesty came later." ”

After a pause, Gu Jin smiled and said, "I don't think Miss Li wants them to go bankrupt, but to warn them that they are accessible from all over the world, or that they have some other ideas." ”

Gu Jin's eyes narrowed slightly.

It would be too presumptuous for her to try to get these two tabloids into her own hands.

……………………

Dong Shu'an and Lin Jianmu walked out of the mansion side by side, with their hands behind their backs and their heads down, and walked forward half a street, and the two of them stood at the same time, looking at me, I watched.

"When Shopkeeper Fei found me and wanted to do business in the four states, I told Shopkeeper Fei that I had promised the Li Dongjia that I would only give her one.

Shopkeeper Fei said: At the beginning, she was the only one who dared to do the post post, and this tabloid was naturally her family, but she wanted a second one, but she didn't have it yet. Now that the imperial court has let go of the post post, this tabloid is naturally the same as the post post, and everyone has been let go.

Shopkeeper Fei also said that he could bear it, and he also said that it was a trivial matter and he could afford it.

Did the shopkeeper Fei say this? Dong Shu'an frowned, looked at Lin Jianmu and asked.

"Said it, said it, the same thing!" Lin Jianmu nodded hurriedly.

"Then let's go to the shopkeeper Fei, since he said that he can afford it, he has to bear it." Dong Shu'an was not angry.

Alas, what is this all about!

"Dong is in charge, at the beginning, was it a tael of silver that he told Li Dongjia? How do I remember what she said at the time, one big piece of money? After taking a few steps, Lin Jianmu said with a puzzled expression.

"I told her this! She told me at the time that if the newspaper was sold to someone else, she would have to tell her.

Later, when the four seas came to get the tabloid, the face of the pot in her house, surnamed Ma, came to reconcile, I said that the four seas were able to get the tabloids, and the surnamed Ma waved his hand and said that I should be a ...... Alas! Dong Shu'an raised his hand and rubbed his face.

"Well, it's a set." Lin Jianmu let out a long sigh.

This is a trick, but now I know that it's too late!

Shopkeeper Fei was listening to the little guy report on this New Year's first case, and when he saw Dong Shu'an and Lin Jianmu coming in together, he stopped the little guy, stood up, and welcomed the two in.

"Tailwind blackmailed you? I just heard, what the hell is going on? How did you get caught up with that girl? Shopkeeper Fei asked with a frown while letting the two of them sit.

Since Shunfeng put out the peace charm of Daxiangguo Temple, one after another, none of the good things, he has been upset until now, and when he hears about this blackmail lawsuit, it is even more blocked and stuffy.

“…… At that time, it was also careless. But how can there be such a reason? Say yes? ”

Dong Shu'an started from Li Sangrou's first trip to him, and kept talking about the government just now, what Chang Shan said, what he and Lin Jianmu said, the more he talked, the more angry he became.

It's just a joke, and she herself said: a joke, don't take it seriously! How can this joke be taken seriously?

Don't say it seriously, at that time she clearly said that a tabloid was a big money, where did the two pieces of silver come from? ”

"On the contract, both of us signed and pledged?" Shopkeeper Fei frowned.

It's easy to say anything else, this signed contract is extremely tricky.

"At that time, I didn't take it seriously, let's make this tabloid, whoever buys it will sell it to whomever it wants, all begging people to buy it, begging people to sell it.

Besides, as you said at the beginning, when you went to the post post in the four states, they were not the same family, who could know that the imperial court would let go of this post post later!

Besides, who knew that this post post would really work!

At that time, they all said that the people who were in Shunfeng were outsiders who were stunned, and they didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, and they definitely didn't know that the post post was military affairs, and they would definitely go to prison.

Who would have thought! ”

Uncle Dong kept patting the armrest of the chair angrily, and Lin Jianmu looked indignant and kept nodding.

"When it comes to this, I won't hide it from the two of you." Shopkeeper Fei was even more annoyed, "There is someone behind the wind, this, everyone knows that it is the prince who is standing."

On our side, several big proprietors of the Chamber of Commerce, when they wanted to make this post post, they first went to the Yongning Hou Mansion and asked clearly, whether this business could be done, and knew that it could be done, so they set out to make this universal access.

Shunfeng dares to hand over the form at the beginning of the year, and as soon as she opens her mouth, it is one or two million silver, and there is no one to support her, she is a girl, she doesn't dare!

We are not afraid of the tailwind, but the people behind the ladies can only go to the Yongping Marquis Mansion and ask the Hou Ye to come forward.

Well, you two are waiting for me here, and I'll go now. Shopkeeper Fei said as he stood up.

Dong Shu'an and Lin Jianmu breathed a sigh of relief together, stood up, sent Shopkeeper Fei to the gate of the courtyard, and went back to drink tea and wait.

waited for two or three hours, seeing that the sun was about to set, and when the bubbles on the corners of the mouths of the two were about to burst out, the shopkeeper Fei finally came back.

"Okay, okay, you two can go back with confidence." Shopkeeper Fei looked happy, arched his hand at the two of them, and said with a smile: "Master Hou is busy, I can't see him." ”

Dong Shu'an and Lin Jianmu were just about to breathe a sigh of relief, but they choked in their throats when the shopkeeper Fei said this.

"When I saw the eldest son, after listening to me, the eldest prince criticized two words: ridiculous. At that time, Mr. Hong was asked to go to the government.

I just broke up with Mr. Hong at the intersection, he went to the mansion, I was afraid that the two of you were in a hurry, so I hurried back first.

The two of you can rest assured and relax. Let's go back. ”

Dong Shu'an and Lin Jianmu breathed a long sigh of relief, thanked the shopkeeper Fei repeatedly, and went back exhausted.

……………………

Shifu Yin sent away Mr. Hong, the staff of the Yongping Marquis Mansion, turned around a few times in place, and instructed the little servant to go and ask Qiao Tuiguan, if there is something urgent, let him come over quickly.

Qiao Tuiguan's house is not far from the government, and he came very quickly.

"Come in and sit." Shifu Yin was pacing back and forth in the house, and when he heard the rumor, he hurried to the door.

"The case?" Qiao Tuiguan asked.

On this day, he was full of the case.

"Alas!" Shifu Yin Xian let out a long sigh, "Grand Prince Shen just sent someone over, just left." Alas. ”

"How?" Qiao Tuiguan was halfway through his seat, he couldn't sit down, he looked at Shifu Yin, and asked anxiously.

"Yes, their eldest son said that we shouldn't take such a ridiculous situation. To say that this is clearly blackmail.

Alas, listen! Shi Fu Yin knocked on his forehead.

He couldn't even answer what he said at the time! Alas!

"This ......" The latter words, Qiao Tuiguan did not say.

This can't be said like this, more than 1.6 million taels of silver, this amount is ridiculous, but this case is indeed a good thing.

"What does Fuzun mean?" Qiao Tuiguan looked at Shi Fu Yin.

"I've been going back and forth and thinking about it for a few rounds.

This must be that Dong Lin's two families have found access from all over the world, and they have found the Marquis of Yongping Mansion from all over the world.

But there is a good wind over there, and there are people behind it!

That master didn't say anything at this time, but if it really was...... Not necessarily without speaking. Shi Fu Yin sat next to Qiao Tuiguan.

"Alas, if you really want to follow the meaning of Lord Shen, that master is afraid that he will not speak! We've all seen that temper with our own eyes! Qiao Tuiguan patted the armrest of the chair in annoyance.

"That's what I mean!

That one really has a temper, not to mention Shen Dagongzi, even Shen Hou Ye, he has to retreat temporarily.

I have to ask him what he means, what I mean, and take a trip. Shifu Yin leaned over and discussed with Qiao Tuiguan.

"Okay." Qiao Tuiguan agreed very simply.

This case is their business, and it is definitely not appropriate or respectful to send others on this trip to Prince Rui's mansion, he and Shifu Yin are two people, it must be his trip.

"I'll go." Qiao Tuiguan stood up as he spoke.

"That's what I mean, this matter should be urgent, hurry up, I'll wait to come back." Shifu Yin stood up and sent Qiao Tuiguan to the door.

Qiao Tuiguan hurried all the way to the side gate of Prince Rui's mansion, and asked, the prince had just returned. Qiao Tuiguan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this time was just in time.

Qiao Tuiguan let people pass the word, and after a while, a small guy ran out and invited Qiao Tuiguan in.

Qiao Tuiguan was invited into the warm pavilion next to the second gate, and after a while, Wen Shunzhi strode in, and as soon as he entered the door, he smiled and said: "The prince has been busy all day, and he is eating, so he ordered me to come over, I don't know if Qiao Tuiguan is coming this time?" ”

"It's a little thing, a little thing." Qiao Tuiguan hurriedly replied with a smile.

Seeing that it was Wen Shunzhi coming in, Qiao Tuiguan was secretly relieved.

Shi Ziye didn't say anything, it was extremely cold and hard, it was extremely difficult to speak, and he didn't want to see him at all.

The Mr. Wen next to the prince is very good, very kind and polite, but he is too shrewd and too difficult, a sentence is a pit, a smile and a stumbling block.

However, this Wen Xiao General is an excellent one, with a good temper and temperament, the best to speak, and the most able to speak, it is he who comes out at this time, and he is really blessed by the Bodhisattva.

Talking to General Wen, a lot of words can be spread out and said directly!

"General Lao Xiao has worked hard this trip. Alas, I'll just say that it's the case I received today, and I think the little general has heard about it.

Alas, I'll just say that it was originally a simple and clear case, but because there was too much silver, more than 1.6 million taels, it was so big that it was terrifying, and the meaning of the eldest prince of the Shen Mansion was a little ridiculous. ”

When Qiao Tuiguan talked about the eldest prince of the Shen Mansion, the tip of his tongue swirled, and he was very vague.

But no matter how vague it is, it is enough for Wen Shunzhi to hear it clearly.

"The prince said, come here now, nine times out of ten it is about that case, sure enough." Wen Shunzhi laughed, "I also said bluntly, this case, the prince knew about it early, and he probably saw Ruyi." ”

Qiao Tuiguan nodded hurriedly.

Not only did he see it, but he also copied the form and the two contracts for Ruyi!

"The uncle of this case also knows that when he reported his wishes, the prince happened to be talking to the uncle.

When I came out just now, the prince of the world gave a few instructions, what the prince meant, first, should not go this way, and second, this case is no different from other cases, we just have to try it impartially, and do what it should be.

The prince also said that you and Shifu Yin Mu should build a happy city, and everything should only be enforced impartially. Come here this time, if you really come to ask the prince how this case should be tried and how it should be judged, this one alone is a perversion of the law. ”

Wen Shunzhi said, hehe, "This trip, I just came to talk to me for a few words." ”

"The little general is considerate. Thank you, little general, for bothering the little general. Qiao Tuiguan smiled wryly and gave up his hand again and again.

Wen Shunzhi stood up and sent Qiao Tuiguan out, and sent it to the door of the Nuan Pavilion, suddenly paused, hesitated for a moment, approached Qiao Tuiguan's side, and said with a smile: "These few words are my private conversations."

Shouzhen has some dealings with Miss Li, the proprietor of the tailwind.

I heard Shouzhen say that Miss Li is a very spicy person, Shouzhen said once, saying that Miss Li can't be provoked, that is a master who dares to break into the imperial city to sue the emperor. ”

Qiao Tuiguan was stunned for a moment, and immediately bowed down, "Thank you for the little general's advice, thank you very much." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Wen Shunzhi turned sideways and gave Qiao Tuiguan this salute and sent Qiao Tuiguan out of the second door.
