delicious little cook

Chapter 745
Yingtian Mansion is still in a mess. The villagers from Hedong Village who were forced to go to Beijing to file a lawsuit didn't sleep well all night. They don't have the money to stay in inns on the street, and the only place in the Yamen that can accommodate so many people is the prison, but this is In civil lawsuits, the defendants cannot be allowed to use the prison as a temporary inn. It is not pleasant to say what is spread to the common people to discuss it. So in the end, the governor had to let the villagers squeeze into the kitchen yard to curl up overnight. There is a stove and hot water. Now The icy weather at the end of the first month will not freeze to death.

It is conceivable how the villagers spent the night. Gu Yun stepped into the gate of Yingtian Mansion in high spirits, but the villagers who had already been waiting outside the lobby were all in low spirits. Gu Yun had never been to Hedong Village. Manager Rong took care of everything, but when the villagers saw a gorgeously dressed, handsome and lovely young man approaching, they immediately realized that this was Gu Yun, the heir son of Lord Ye who had sued the whole village, and immediately surrounded him , shouting in confusion, begging him to withdraw the complaint.

The officer guarding at the side brandished sticks to reprimand the villagers for keeping quiet, and then let them stand back to their original positions. Gu Yun was surrounded by ten litigators and a group of witnesses headed by Manager Rong. The plaintiff and the defendant stood on two sides. Waiting for ascension.

Fu Yin is already resting in the back hall at this time. Even his colleagues in the officialdom are paying close attention to this lawsuit, not to mention the saint who has already been told to know all the details. explain.

Even though the female villagers were spared, the number of male villagers brought back was still so full that there was no room for them to stand in the hall. When the defendant was promoted to the hall, the village head and elders were the representatives. Gu Yun always had a stinky face, and the litigators represented him. Speaking, ask the village chief to explain clearly which of the contents of the contract set a trap and treated them badly.

The village chief and other elders knelt on the ground and complained repeatedly. They were all illiterate and could not read a single word. He couldn't speak clearly, he chattered for a while, and finally confessed to Mao Eryazi, claiming that he was the one who instigated him. The villagers believed that he had seen the big world in the capital, so they mistakenly thought that Gu Shizi was the emperor's businessman. The villainous businessman with the banner, only now wakes up and realizes that he has wronged a good person.

As soon as Fu Yin heard that it was indeed instigated by someone behind his back, he immediately sent Mao Eryazi to the court for questioning.

The officer called Mao Eryazi a few times among a group of villagers outside, but no one answered, but the villagers pushed out Mao Eryazi's family and relatives, and asked these relatives to find someone in the crowd, but still no Mao Eryazi. With the figure of the second child, the official had no choice but to bring the relatives to the hall.

Facing Fu Yin's questioning, the relatives couldn't answer where Mao Eryazi went, and he himself was not a villager who signed a contract with Gu Yun, although Manager Rong had already found out about him and told the lawyers , but he was not mentioned alone on the pleadings. When the officials read the list in the village, his name was not there. It would be reasonable if he didn't come. While questioning the family members about this person's criminal record, he asked them why they would provoke the entire village to tear up the contract together.

Mao Eryazi's family knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately, claiming that everything was instigated by Mao Eryazi, and it was all his fault. He said that the price given by Gu Shizi was too low, and someone in the capital was willing to pay a higher price. He rented the villagers' land at a high price, and the villagers were blindfolded by the money, so they were deceived by him.

Fu Yin then sent the plaintiff's witness Rong Guanshi and others to come to the court for questioning. Rong Guan said that the villagers of Hedong Village wanted to encourage the villagers of the other four villages to break the contract together. Fortunately, those four villages had already received the land rent first. , The cost of breaking the contract is more expensive, so it is temporarily stable.

Manager Rong had two disputes with the villagers of Hedong Village, and was almost beaten both times. He was aggrieved when he told the story in class. After all, he is a member of the Ning family, and he did not work for Gu Yun. He is acting as a representative for Princess Cheng, and negotiating with the villagers for the three major shareholders. .

Because Mao Eryazi is missing now, and the villagers all insisted that Mao Eryazi instigated him, even his relatives were scolded badly by the villagers. order, but the trial of this lawsuit will not go on. Without Mao Eryazi, I don’t know what his motives are for inciting the villagers. The most urgent thing is to find him.

So the governor ordered the secretaries to copy the confessions of the villagers one by one, and at the same time sent the government officials to find Mao Eryazi as much as possible, and allowed other villagers to go home today, but the village chief and the elders had to stay in the capital to settle the lawsuit He also reminded the villagers of the consequences of breaking the contract, and asked them to raise a breach of contract money to compensate Gu Shizi as soon as possible, and this contract will be voided.

The villagers knelt outside and shouted for the Lord Qingtian, shouting for their innocence. The farmers whose ancestors depended on the sky for food for generations really couldn't raise the high breach of contract. They broke the contract because of impulse and greed. In order to show their innocence, a All the family members were scolding Mao Eryazi's family members, and these family members were unwilling to be scolded like this, and they loudly scolded the villagers for being greedy, being deceived and bewitched by others. It turned into a scene like a shrew cursing the street.

Fu Yin's head was getting bigger, and he ordered the officials to drive them out, and urged them to go home quickly, otherwise they would be punished for the crime of yelling at the court, and they would be exposed to the public for three days.

As soon as the villagers heard the crime, they were all frightened into silence and left one after another, but when they got to the street, the onlookers who were watching didn't let them go, and pointed at their noses and scolded them bloody, especially The people from Xilefang scolded the most fiercely. Because of the big factory in the workshop, they benefited the most and had the most say.

The village head and the young people in the elder's family knelt on the ground and refused to leave, insisting on staying to serve the elderly. For the sake of their filial piety, the governor ordered three strong ones to stay and let them go to the street. Find an inn for lodging.

They asked for money to stay in the inn, and they didn't know when the lawsuit would be settled, so the young man hurriedly chased the villagers who were going home. The people scolded each other, and each of them silently paid for the boat fare and dry food money for their own return to the village, and gave the rest to these young people. Only then did they barely get together the board and lodging expenses for a few days in the capital. I can hope that the lawsuit can be concluded quickly, otherwise, not to mention the travel expenses for the few of them to return to the village, they can't even afford to stay in the inn.

Naturally, the crowd watching the excitement did not miss such a good opportunity to ridicule them. They laughed at them for thinking that they were poor and shameless, and they ruled over their own village, but they forgot that this is the foot of the emperor. They dared to break the contract without any money for the lawsuit. If they said the contract was really unfair, it would be reasonable for them to tear it up. There has never been a precedent for such a good thing as an annual reward. They don't cherish such a good contract. They just listen to other people's nonsense and think that there is no price for breaking the contract. They deserve this lawsuit today, and they deserve it.

The villagers lost their temper after being scolded, not to mention the people of Xilefang are the most convincing living signs. Listening to their good deeds, the villagers of Hedong Village are now so regretful that their intestines are green. I am afraid that the government will really judge the two parties to terminate the contract. They will never be able to pay the compensation. Moreover, Hele Village is a large village with a large population. With sufficient labor force, life is better than those four villages. If the contract is really void, then in the future, he can only watch others live a better life day by day.

The Governor of the court had already announced his withdrawal from the court, and called Gu Yun to talk with the litigators to discuss how to deal with the case. It would be easy if Mao Eryazi could be found, but if he could not be found, the only way to deal with it was to go to court. The villagers are looking for compensation, as long as they are not blind, they can see that the villagers will never pay the various compensations requested in the complaint, so they have to make two-handed preparations and ask Gu Yun if he is willing to accept mediation. The strong ability to earn money leads the villagers to live a prosperous life.

Gu Yun curled his mouth and put on an aggrieved face, Fu Yin understood that the next step in this lawsuit depends on how to make people comfortable.

Fu Yin scratched his head, he had no choice but to find Mao Eryazi first. With Fu Yin's many years of experience in adjudicating cases, there might be someone behind Mao Eryazi, otherwise he doesn't know how to make a living in the capital Where did the foreign population get the courage to step on the face of the children of the rich and powerful for no reason.

Gu Yun knew that this lawsuit would not be finished in a few days, Mao Eryazi was the key person, since it was now at an impasse, he sat down soon, drank half a cup of tea and left.

For him, it is inevitable that the lawsuit will end in mediation. Mao Eryazi is the key person in the lawsuit, but it doesn't matter whether he lives or dies. Anyway, Gu Yun already knows who is behind the scenes, and even if he finds Mao Eryazi Er Yazi confirmed that someone behind him was instigating, but in fact, it is not easy to find the source. Thinking about it, I know that I want to find kidnappers from the black market, and Yang Siyuan's subordinates must be the same, not to mention that Liang Zhongshan has a black market in his hands. Resources, how could they leave tails behind when they do things.

Gu Yun, who was determined in his heart, went out of the yamen and got on the car to go home. He was also disturbed by the noise in the court this morning, and now he just wanted to go back and hug Bai Kou and give her a meal of tender tofu, even if she beat her up.

Passing by a bakery on the way home, Gu Yun got out of the car and bought a few signature snacks. When the carriage returned to the mansion, Gu Yun heard that Gu Xu was entertaining Yang Mi in the front yard. He went to his own Zhongming Courtyard, called the girls to bring two kinds of dim sum to Rong En Tang and Ji Cheng Tang, and then he left a large box of assorted dishes, and distributed the rest to the girls Tiantianzui.
