Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

Chapter 39: The elder made a move and reversed the situation, and everyone was defeated

Ni Keng was about to report to the police when the shop door opened and Guan Yingying's face appeared.

Arrogant and confident, with no awareness of breach of contract at all.

"Master Ni, shall we go somewhere to talk?"

Ni Keng was very alert: "Either deliver the goods or pay compensation, let's talk here, I won't go anywhere else."

"If you want the goods or the liquidated damages, then come with me. Otherwise, at worst you can smash the store or report it to the police. I will be beheaded, what good will that do you?"

This is just playing single!

Ni Keng was so angry that he couldn't speak.

She had no choice but to take four guards with her to the Marquis of Pingyang's Mansion.

Gu Chengyan would definitely not invite Guan Yingying into the house. Guan Yingying could not escape from the eyes of her third uncle.

Guan Yingying stayed outside in the carriage, and Ni Keng was called into the mansion.

Ni Keng's four guards also followed him. They did not dare to leave Ni Keng for fear that Ni Keng would be harmed.

Zhang Qing took Ni Keng all the way to Ci'en Temple.

When the old lady saw him, she thought of her grandson being cheated. However, according to the contract, Gu Chengyan was definitely in the wrong.

"Mr. Ni, right? Please take a seat."

Ni Keng looked at the old lady, and then saw Gu Shaoyu sitting on the side. He was unsure what was going on, and did not dare to sit down. He cupped his hands and asked, "May I ask what is going on?"

Gu Chengyan had no choice but to say to him, "Master Ni, I am the son of the Marquis of Pingyang, and Miss Tu is my cousin."

Ni Keng had lived for most of his life, and he suddenly understood that the prince was handling the contract issue on behalf of his cousin.

"Master Gu, the ice purchase contract signed by Miss Tu and I is written in black and white. Today, I am just going to pick up the goods at the agreed time. I have also brought the money. Is there any problem?"

"I'm Gu Shaoyu," Gu Chengyan was about to speak, but Gu Shaoyu interrupted him and asked Ni Keng, "Do you know how to make ice?"

Ni Keng was surprised. It turned out to be the legendary Lord Gu. No wonder he was so powerful.

This is the most talented and powerful Lord Gu in Daqian!

He could not help but kneel down: "I pay my respects to Lord Gu."

Gu Shaoyu asked him to stand up and talk, and still asked him if he knew how to make ice.

Ni Keng shook his head and said, "How could a commoner know how to make ice? If he knew, why would he spend so much money to buy ice!"

Gu Shaoyu didn't even ask where he was from, he just said, "You signed the contract, and the key materials for making ice will all disappear on the same day."

Ni Keng understood immediately: "What the elder means is that someone is following me and collecting all the raw materials, so that I can't get the ice?"

Gu Shaoyu: "Yes, someone is targeting you on purpose! Think about it carefully, is there an enemy who has been watching you? Do you know that because of you, Miss Biao lost a business that made a lot of money every day? You must give an explanation to the Marquis' Mansion!"

Gu Chengyan was stunned and ecstatic. Third Uncle was so awesome!

I asked you to help, not to reverse!

The old lady also sighed inwardly, otherwise why could Gu Shaoyu be the minister but others couldn’t!

Ni Keng was caught off guard. He said angrily, "Your Excellency, you mean to blame me for the failure of this business?"

"Before you placed the order, business was indeed booming, but once you placed the order, the raw materials were immediately cut off. This is definitely not accidental. Do you know that the prince searched all the cities in the capital and the surrounding 300 miles and couldn't find even a pound of saltpeter?"

Ni Keng was also shocked. How could such a thing happen?

Gu Shaoyu kept staring at Ni Keng's expression like a cheetah.

He concluded that Ni Keng was not lying!

Ni Keng was about to cry: "Lord Gu, you can't wrongly accuse me. I am the chairman of the Five Elders Association of Nijiayan in Suocheng. This time I am buying ice for the entire fishing family. They have caught fish and want to send them to Lingxi. Without ice, all our fish will go bad."

Gu Shaoyu said: "Now that you have suffered such a huge loss, Miss Cousin's store has also suffered huge losses. If you want to say whose fault it is, it's really no one's fault. It's the people who hoarded the raw materials who are hateful. The best plan now is for everyone to tide over the difficulties together."

Only then did Ni Keng realize that Lord Gu was trying to renege on the contract, right?

He immediately said angrily: "Does the elder mean that the contract is invalid?"

"It's not invalid. We want to work together. The prince will help you transport your batch of seafood to the destination. If there is any loss, the prince will bear it. How do you think?"

Ni Keng disagrees.

Gu Shaoyu said, then you should report to the police!

Ni Keng said angrily: "Are you trying to use your power to oppress others?"

"No, I'm giving you a quick solution to the problem. You can report it to the police, but I'm afraid your seafood will go bad."

"Also, if the government investigates and finds that your batch of seafood does not exist, or that you do not need 30,000 taels of silver worth of ice, then you are committing fraud and colluding with others to defraud the liquidated damages."

Ni Keng was so angry that he was speechless. He stood up and clasped his fists: "Since Lord Gu said so, I will go to the Censorate to file a complaint today. After all, I have lived to such an old age. The worst that can happen is that I will die at the hands of Lord Gu."

Turn around and walk out.

Gu Shaoyu did not stop him. He watched him stride out, out of the gate, got on the carriage, and left angrily.

Gu Chengyan felt relaxed all over. Just as he was about to thank his uncle with gratitude, he heard Gu Shaoyu say to Zhang Qing, "Follow him. If he really goes to the Censorate to file a complaint, stop him immediately and bring him back."

Then he said to Nanxing beside him: "You follow too."

Nanxing followed Zhang Qing to chase Ni Keng.

Gu Chengyan didn't understand: "Uncle San, why did you chase him back? You told him to go and sue."

The old lady cursed: "You bastard! Your Third Uncle said that about Ni Keng, mainly to see if he is really a fraud. Do you think he wants to take human lives lightly? Really want to harm the people? You signed a bastard contract, but your Third Uncle is not a corrupt official."

Gu Shaoyu said calmly: "The prince should read more books."

Gu Chengyan blushed, but he dared not say anything.

Ni Keng went to the door of the shop angrily and briefly told the people who were picking up the goods what had happened in the Marquis' Mansion.

He said angrily, "I'm going to beat the drum, you guys go back quickly and tell everyone to process the seafood on the spot so that it won't go bad. Any loss can be reduced as much as possible."

After making all the arrangements and writing the complaint, he strode to the government office.

When he arrived outside the government office, he grabbed the drumstick and was about to beat the drum to protest his grievances, but Zhang Qing immediately stepped forward and stopped him: "Master Ni, stop beating the drum."

Ni Keng was so angry that his eyes turned red. "What do you mean? The elders of the cabinet can neither uphold justice nor ask me to file a complaint. Are you going to let the people of Nijiayan bear so much loss in vain?"

Nan Xing said, "Master Ni, let me be fair. The elder asked me to stop you from reporting to the police because it was for your own good."

"How to say?"

"Think about it. The person who signed the contract with you was Miss Tu, not someone from the Marquis' Mansion. If you sue Miss Tu, even if you win, the most you can get is those few shops, which is far from enough to offset your losses."

So why not consider the advice of the elder?

Ni Keng resolutely refused and said angrily: "If the elders can support betrayal, what is the point of the contract?"

Pick up the drumsticks and start beating them, "dong dong dong".
