Chapter 122 The idea of building a flour field
"What? You said those 500 kilograms were shoddy goods? Are you going to pay 100 for a fake one?" Shen Yunyao glared at this cousin.
Shen Gaoling shrank when he heard the question and said solemnly: "What do you think we should do?"
Shen Yunyao sneered and said: "Cousin, are you joining forces with your brother-in-law to trip up me? You want revenge? Why are you coming to me now?"
Shen Gaoling said: "I don't have it. I have to pay seven hundred and fifty taels. If I can't pay it, I can use the flour mill to offset it. Anyway, I signed the contract on behalf of the flour mill before."
"Oh, you don't have that much authority as a manager. If you didn't discuss this matter with me, the contract won't count." Shen Yunyao almost laughed angrily.
Why should you, an outsider, pay compensation for your own business?
Shen Gaoling frowned and said: "Anyway, the contract is here, and the yamen doesn't care if you know it. If you can't pay 750 taels, you have to pay for the flour mill. Don't blame me for not telling you. Hurry up and pay the money in the next two days." .”
"So, cousin, are you colluding with outsiders to plot my flour mill?" Shen Yunyao said exactly what he wanted.
Shen Gaoling's face turned dark and he shouted: "What are you talking about? It's obviously your business that is not good!"
His brother-in-law had already given him one hundred taels and said that he would give him another three hundred taels as long as the flour mill was transferred out.
He had never seen so much money.
Anyway, this flour mill doesn't make much money, so Shen Yunyao will not suffer much loss if it is transferred out.
He can get money again, killing two birds with one stone!
Shen Yunyao saw his ability to rake someone down, so she said no more and waved her hand. Shen Gaoling instantly disappeared in front of her eyes, flew out and fell to pieces at the gate.
Shen Gaoling was so frightened, how did he get out?
Is this niece's kung fu so good that she can knock someone away with just a wave of her hand?
What should I do if I offend her and get no good fruit?
Never mind. The worst she can do is admit it when she investigates.
He was full of sorrow and limped away.
Shen Yunyao sent someone to investigate the matter and got the contract from Shen Gaoling.
After that, she ordered her escort to go to the county.
A few days later, when the Fumin Grain Company came to collect the flour mill, the manager of the grain store brought a dozen strong men with him, just because they were afraid that the owner of the flour mill would resist.
Many people in the village came to watch the fun, and Li Lan also brought her little sisters to watch, as she also wanted to tell her brother about it.
Shen Yunyao got the news and came with two guards.
"Miss Shen, I'm Qian Dafu, the manager of Fumin Grain Store. You failed to hand over the compensation of 750 taels as promised. Now according to the contract, you will use your flour mill to offset it."
Qian Dafu looks like he is in his forties. He is polite but looks like a gentleman. He is also served by a boy fanning him.
Shen Yunyao said: "I have not signed any contract with Fumin Grain Company. I did not sign it and I do not recognize it. This flour mill is in my name."
Qian Dafu seemed to have expected that Shen Yunyao would say this, and said with a smile: "You must recognize the contract signed by the steward of the flour mill. The steward can sign on his behalf. How do you prove that you did not entrust the steward to sign on your behalf?"
Shen Yunyao knew that he was prepared, so he said: "I have already reported this matter to the official. Just wait a little longer and I will give you an explanation!"
Most people are unwilling to deal with the yamen, and they can only swallow their anger when encountering such a thing. However, Manager Qian did not expect to meet a person who did not act according to common sense.
"What kind of official are you reporting to? It's such a clear matter. If you should compensate, just compensate. We won't ask for anything extra." Manager Qian looked like he was looking at how generous I was.
Shen Yunyao snorted and said in a gloomy tone, "Of course my flour field cannot be handed over to someone who is deliberately trying to steal it. If he had discussed it with me earlier, it would not be impossible for us to work together. If we don't take the upright road, we have to play tricks. Conspiracy! Now I will not let him go."
Manager Qian shuddered. He always felt that this girl was a bit scary.
Today he had to bite the bullet and get the job done. Before he came out, he issued a military order, "Anything you say is just sophistry. Someone come and take over our flour mill."
Shen Yunyao waved his hand and threw a defensive barrier to cover the flour field.
Manager Qian led people to the flour mill, but he couldn't get in. He always stood still five meters in front of the entrance of the flour mill.
"What, what's going on?" Manager Qian was frightened.
A strong man trembled and said: "Boss, are you trying to beat the wall?"
"Idiot! It's broad daylight, where did this ghost come from!" Manager Qian slapped him hard on the back of the head.
Although Manager Qian didn't know what was going on, he had something to do with the Shen family.
He rolled his eyes and said to Shen Yunyao with a smile: "Miss Shen, I know you are not willing to throw away this situation. But this situation can't transfer any money. You still have to work as a steward in vain. It's better to be in a situation where you can't make ends meet. Throw it away. Do you think so?"
Shen Yunyao knew what he meant and said: "I didn't plan to make money from this. I originally wanted to use it to give back to the hometown. I didn't expect to be targeted by you businessmen and not hesitate to use such clandestine means to steal it."
These words made the surrounding crowd suddenly understand.
Originally, they were just watching the excitement, and it was none of their business, but if Shen Yunyao's flour mill was to benefit himself and were snatched away by the grain store, there would never be such cheap flour again.
This has a lot to do with them.
"You people are so bad, Ayao should report it to the official!"
"Yes, report to the official. We can all testify for you."
"The flour farm belongs to A-Yao, and no one else can be A-Yao's boss."
The surrounding villagers expressed their support for Shen Yunyao.
Not long after, the yamen servants came and took away Steward Qian and his party, and asked Shen Yunyao to follow them.
Magistrate Zheng was sitting in the backyard, holding a letter from the capital. The letter said that his county had become the fiefdom of the county lord, and that the county lord was named Shen Yunyao.
He visited the village where the county lord was located several times before confirming that the little girls he admired before were now county lords and were of a higher rank than him.
I lamented that other people’s daughters were so outstanding! This precious little girl of my own was beyond comparison.
It wasn't until he sat in the lobby of the Yamen and began to examine the case that he calmed down.
But when he saw Shen Yunyao, he lost his composure. His friend sent him the homing pigeon five days ago. Shen Yunyao was still in the capital at that time, and he would be home in just five days?
After suppressing his doubts, Magistrate Zheng began to examine the case. This case was simple and clear. If it were anyone else, he would probably have gone through a lot of trouble, insisting on finding evidence or something.
But this person is the county lord. How can he allow something so obviously aimed at the county lord?
Everyone involved has been slapped.
Manager Qian was beaten ten times for not telling the truth and was quickly recruited.
His nephew was Qian Laosan. Qian Laosan knew that there was something wrong with the flour in the flour mill, so he asked Manager Qian to take the opportunity to take over the flour mill.
In order to achieve meritorious service, Manager Qian arranged for Shen Gaoling to sign the contract.
Shen Gaoling was slapped and quickly confessed that his brother-in-law had been bribed by Manager Qian, and the three of them formed a partnership to forge contracts and defraud the flour mill.
Therefore, the decision was made quickly. Manager Qian and others were sentenced to six months in prison and fined 10 taels of silver.
Since there were no injuries or killings, the sentences were not harsh.
The case went surprisingly smoothly.
Shen Yunyao obviously felt that Magistrate Zheng was very polite when he spoke to her during the interrogation.
Sure enough, as soon as Shen Yunyao left the Yamen after the case was concluded, a little maid came over and saluted: "Miss Shen, please stay, the county magistrate's wife has invited her."
