Chapter 731 Front Bar

"Okay, let's not think too much about whether there is someone instigating it. The spring plowing is coming soon, and we don't have time to delay. Bai Kou, what do you mean by a quick solution?"

Hedong Village is leased by Gu Yun, he has to calm down before he gets angry.

"Boss Rong said just now that because of the farmer's relationship, every household in the village, men, women and children over the age of [-], signed and pledged, right?"

"Yes, they have all signed and signed." Manager Rong nodded again and again, "I'm not boasting, the Ning family has been an imperial merchant for decades, and after summarizing the experiences and lessons, we will definitely pay attention to all aspects of things now. detail."

"What I want is your words." Bai Kou shook his finger and pointed at Manager Rong lightly, "I haven't seen the contract signed by the villagers. To be honest, I have really been concerned about the things on the farm from the very beginning. I haven't followed up, Princess Cheng took care of it all, and the various contracts that come and go are also directly kept by our son, but it will be easy to handle things with such a guarantee."

"Where is the easy way?" Everyone inside and outside the screen pricked up their ears.

"Let's file a lawsuit, a collective lawsuit, all the men, women and children who signed and pledged in Hedong Village will be notified to the court. They can tear up the contract, but there is no righteousness in buying and selling. Ye Guogong's government has always followed the law as the criterion, so follow the agreement to break the contract Compensation for the loss of the prince, and the water conservancy works built in their village have to be paid according to the price, and whether they use it after that is their business, anyway, we will not rent this village."

"Ah?!" Everyone was taken aback, they didn't expect Bai Kou to come up with such an idea.

"Yes, you heard me right. A collective lawsuit against Hedong Village is called a positive confrontation. We must not spend our time arguing with them. If there are people behind the villagers who are really instigating, what the people behind the scenes hope most is to get us into trouble. Endless wrangling to divert energy, and we must not fall into such a trap. We always uphold one point, the villagers insist that they have been fooled by our son, so they want to tear up the contract, and then go to court to argue right and wrong."

"I'm afraid the villagers will be blown up." Gu Yun and Gong Changji were still thinking about it, and Manager Rong said first.

"What does it have to do with us? The signed contract is torn up as soon as it is said. They themselves despise the law first, but the sons of our Duke Ye's mansion must act according to the law. If the public says the public is right, and the mother-in-law says the mother-in-law is right, then go to court." The court. Are the villagers in Hedong the people of the dynasty? Do they have to abide by the law? Can we sue them for breaking the law? Our son is a civilized person, a gentleman who speaks but does not fight, and opposes any form of violence. If you can’t clean it up, go to the court and ask the master to judge, we don’t play tricks, we only use scheming to crush all monsters and monsters openly.”

Bai Kou first stood at the height of obeying the law. Not only did Gu Yun and Gong Changji smile, but Ning Peilan behind the screen almost laughed out loud, and Manager Rong was even more confused. I have seen Bai Kou a lot.

"However, Hedong Village is the largest of the five villages, and the population of signatures and pledges alone exceeds a thousand people. How do we fight this collective lawsuit?" Think clearly about problems and difficulties.

"Our son is the plaintiff, and it is the job of the yamen servants to interrogate the defendant. It has nothing to do with us, but we have to make some preparations in advance for defendants with more than a thousand people. We need to ask the son to call well-known lawyers to form a team of five to ten lawyers. , to show your determination to fight the lawsuit, and don’t be afraid of the lawyer’s fee, if the crown prince wins the lawsuit, the defeated villagers will naturally pay all the costs of the lawsuit, including the lawyer’s fee.”

"Bai Kou, you talk so loudly, this lawsuit is really worth fighting?" Gu Yun is not worried about money, he is really not short of money now, but he just feels that Bai Kou's intentions don't seem to be fully explained.

"The real purpose of the lawsuit is to put on a posture, set a benchmark, and prevent the other four villages from following suit. This is a tactic to scare chickens and monkeys, and only when they go to court will they know whether the villagers have broken the contract. Behind the scenes, I have always been very concerned about that young man whom Manager Rong does not know, he did not show up during the early negotiations, but now he pops up again, the origin and purpose of this person can only be known in court."

"That's right!" Gong Zhangji clapped his hands with a smile, "If it is really revealed in the court that someone is behind the scenes, the mastermind behind the scenes will be humiliated as well as the whole family and family!"

"Yes, that's right, that's it, head-on, crushing all ghosts and snakes with evil intentions!" Gu Yun also clapped his hands and laughed.

Ning Peilan's soft voice came from behind the screen.

"Bai Kou, what do you think the final direction of this lawsuit will be?"

"Probably because of the court's mediation, an agreement was reached, the plaintiff withdrew the lawsuit, and the contract remains the same. Everyone is happy." Bai Kou blurted out without thinking.

"So sure?" Ning Peilan's voice was full of laughter, "Why don't you say it all out, we can do things better if we have confidence in our hearts."

"With more than a thousand defendants, as soon as the pleadings are handed over, the whole capital will pay attention. There are saints watching. How can this lawsuit go on? Maybe the defendants can't all come to court, and the case can be closed directly in the fields."

"But? I know you must have a but." If it weren't for the screen blocking it, Ning Peilan really wanted to go out and talk.

"However, if the case is closed in such a quiet manner, it won't show the grievances suffered by our son. Since we want to fight head-on, of course it is better to make the scene as big as possible. From the very beginning, we insisted on not accepting mediation. To judge, to force Yingtian Mansion to bring more than 1000 defendants to the court, and if they don't argue in court, they won't know if there are behind-the-scenes instructions behind the scenes." Of course, Bai Kou has but, his face is full of calculating and triumphant smile.

"If there is a behind-the-scenes instigation, as soon as this pleading paper is handed over, it will be a shock to the snake. The young man who is not familiar with Rong Guanshi may be silenced, or he may disappear directly. No one is alive or dead."

"That's just right. The person disappeared. Doesn't it mean that there is something wrong with this matter? The lawsuit will be won. If the young man's wife goes to court peacefully and argues justly, the son will have nothing to say if he loses the lawsuit. If he can't argue It proves that he is the one who is messing around and maliciously alienating the relationship between the prince of the Duke of Ye and the villagers in Hedong. Then he can be questioned whether he was instigated by others. If he refuses to admit the crime, he will bear it alone. It’s not hard, there are still dramas to watch, the lawsuit will continue, and the mastermind behind the scenes will be sued, anyway, the compensation for the loss of our son’s reputation must be paid by someone.”

"That's right, if there is really a mastermind behind the scenes, and on the premise that no black hands can be used to make people disappear, and they can't be confessed in the court, they must push this lawsuit to end with mediation and withdraw the case halfway, the villagers Having suffered through this and learned a lesson, I naturally dare not tear up the contract again, and the spring plowing will continue as usual." Gu Yun rubbed his chin and decided to do so.

"So going to court is the best solution." Gong Changji kicked Gu Yun and gave him a thumbs up, "Your Bai Kou is the best."

"Bai Kou, what are we shareholders going to do? We have to show our support, right?" Ning Peilan still focused on the topic.

"Of course, on the same day that the paper is handed over, write a note to the palace. The son is an imperial merchant, he must prepare a note to explain the matter to the saint, and a copy of the contract must be attached to the note. You can't wait for the saint to know If you ask about the lawsuit again, the sage doesn't like this, and he will definitely scold you and get no sympathy."

"Well, that's right, one person from Ming Dynasty wrote the notebook, and our shareholders jointly signed the notebook. We don't sell grievances, we just tell the facts and make sense. The sage makes his own decisions. Too much messy content will make him unhappy." Gong Changji nodded in response.

"Okay, let's make a decision for now. Tomorrow, we'll find a few lawyers and write the pleadings." Gu Yun stood up as he spoke, "I'll go back and tell my father, otherwise if he doesn't know anything about it, You have to teach me a lesson when you come back.”

"Boss Rong and your subordinates are important witnesses, please speak up in court." Bai Kou smiled and gave a blessing.

"You don't need to tell me that. Our group was scared enough, so we must talk about it in the courtroom." Manager Rong waved his hands with a smile.

"It's not too late. All preparations must be made within the next few days. At the same time, we will send people to Hedong Village tomorrow to make a show of wrangling. We can't let the villagers know that we are preparing to file a lawsuit. Let's do this for a few days to confuse the villagers. By the way, in this process, we can collect more evidence, and we can also inquire about the young man's details, all kinds of information are beneficial to our litigator's performance in court." Bai Kou added a little.

"No problem, Manager Rong, work harder these days, and bring someone back tomorrow." Ning Peilan ordered immediately.

"Yes, Concubine." Rong Guanshi bowed and saluted. Although he was a member of the Ning family, Second Miss Ning was now the princess of the county, so naturally she had to change her title accordingly.

Gu Yun and Bai Kou left immediately, and after returning to their mansion, Gu Yun immediately went to see his mother, and sat there until his father came home, and confessed to him again.

Because this unexpected incident has to be kept secret for the time being, during dinner time, the Eldest Master and the Eldest Madam went to Rong En Tang to accompany the old mother for dinner. Tang, called his younger brother Gu Chen, and the family of four had another in-depth discussion in his father's study. Bai Kou gave a solution to this farce, but someone in the public and official circles will definitely take the opportunity to make a fuss, and dealing with these villains is Lord Ye's strength.

As for the litigator that his son needs, Ye Guogong also has a way to find him. The master who retired from Yingtian Mansion, and the scribes who retired from the Ministry of Punishment, all of them are capable people who are familiar with the law, and they are all inquiring about cases. Experts, with them coming out as litigators, this lawsuit is not difficult to fight, and whether they have a good posture or a benchmark, they can be set high to the sky.
