I opened a mall in ancient times

good thing?

What good can there be?

With question marks in his stomach, Luo Chaoxi followed the yamen servant to the outside of the yamen.

Before he arrived, he was taken aback by the layers of human walls outside.

What's going on here?This posture is much more lively than the previous time in Kangzhou City. It can't be the people from the Lu family who are being tried again, right?

"Here we come, Boss Luo is here!" The people outside were still looking at the court with great interest, but when they turned their heads and saw Luo Chaochao, they shouted excitedly.

"Oh oh oh! The victim is here!"

Suffer, victim?

Luo Chaochao's gaze passed through the thick human wall, landed in the courtroom, and saw Boss Shi's unfamiliar back.

It turned out that this was the case, no wonder he said he was the victim.

"Since all the parties involved have come, do you have anything to explain?" Master Yin said in the courtroom, "If you confess, you may be less punished."

Boss Shi was lying on the ground, his buttocks and thighs were torn apart, obviously hit by a board, and the few people kneeling there tremblingly on the other side did not dare to lift their heads.

Before Luo Chao Chao came, Master Yin had already gone through a round of interrogation.These people are quite strict with their mouths. They probably fear that they will go to jail if they speak out, so they never said it, and they kept saying it was a misunderstanding, but they couldn’t tell what the misunderstanding was. The reasons for what they said were confusing. People who know that these people must have lied.

Even the common people who were watching the excitement outside knew that it was a certainty, and now Luo Chaoxi was invited to come over for the final confirmation.

It's very interesting.

Luo Chaochao walked into the courtroom, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Luo Chaochao performed all the rituals.Compared with the few people who were in a panic, he seemed to come here casually while shopping. It seemed that this place was not a court, but a certain tea room.

"The grassroots are terrified. I don't know why they came today...?" Luo Chaoxi asked.

"You said in the store that your things were stolen by others, was it him?"

Luo Chaoxi glanced at Master Shi, didn't say anything, but just sighed, "Caomin thought Boss Shi would understand Caomin's difficulties."

"Boss Luo is enough to save him face, but Boss Shi is still talking hard here." The people outside muttered, and the voice reached Boss Shi's ears, which only made Boss Shi's body tremble even more.

"Is there any basis for your original guess?"

"Of course there are. Everything in our store has a very important raw material, and his... hey, it's lard, so I'm afraid it will be a joke."

The bucket of white paste that was moved out of the house at the beginning has been taken away. In fact, everyone has seen clearly what is inside. Anyone who has bought the genuine product will not admit that it is a fake.

In addition, the counterfeit packaging was also found. This matter is actually a certainty, but they are still quibbling.

"Then, you sold the counterfeit goods to these traveling merchants, causing them a case of money loss—"

"They bought it on their own initiative! This person even took the initiative to ask for it. I still have an order!"

Since both the left and the right are going to die, let's just say it, at least I don't have to go to prison alone.

"I talked to Xiaoshun from Gan'er Hutong. If you have any questions, just ask them. Everything is in the store."

Luo Chao Chao wasn't angry on the side, and just made an aggrieved expression there.

People always favor the weak, and Luo Chaochao is that weak person. Seeing Luo Chaohao like this now, he can't wait to spit on Boss Shi.

Boss Shi opened his mouth and explained everything clearly, and the context of this case became very clear.From Boss Shi deliberately copying the skin care products in Jiushui shopping mall to make money, then he hired informants to sell the inventory in his hand, and then there was a distance between him and the merchants, and then the merchants couldn't swallow this breath, deliberately Come to Boss Shi to ask for money.

Even Luo Chaoxi, who knew all this, felt that Boss Shi was sick when he heard these things, not to mention the other onlookers.If it weren't for this being a court, they probably would have thrown rotten eggs and rotten vegetables into it.

"The evidence of Shi Sheng and others' crimes is convincing. The crime is established. Currently, the bank involved has not been counted yet, and the sentence cannot be determined. They will be temporarily put in prison for retrial the next day. From now on, the shops of several people will be closed, and the merchant team will wait in the capital for investigation." Master Yin The result was announced directly, "Take people to check their homes and where they are staying to see if there is anything left behind, and sort out the amount of money involved for several people, and retrial at another date."

Master Yin has not convicted them now, and throwing them into the prison is the best result at present. With the face of Master Yin, the officials in charge of this case will not be perfunctory, and will take everything seriously. After all the investigations are clear, Luo Chaochao can be given a perfect answer.

In fact, Luo Chaochao just happened to catch up, otherwise, according to the laws of Sheng Kingdom, this matter would not need to make such a big fuss, at most it would be fined.But I can't bear the fact that the two groups of people have a lot to do with each other, and there are many things that can be manipulated.It happened that Luo Chao Chao took advantage of this.

Luo Chaoxi only felt that he would be able to go back after going out for a stroll, but seeing Master Yin's appearance, he probably wanted to go and have a chat by himself, so after leaving, he found a place where no one was around and waited for a while, and as expected, he saw Master Yin's side boy.

"Boss Luo, Mr. Yin wants to see you. If it's convenient for you, can you come over?"

"Of course, please lead the way."

"You kid, you will not live in peace after arriving in the capital. It's your business everywhere." Master Yin joked as soon as he saw Luo Chaoxi, and Luo Chaoxi also smiled.He replied, "I can't help it. Although I don't want to cause trouble, trouble always finds me on its own initiative. It's very annoying."

"Whoever makes you stand out too much will always attract the jealousy of others, but speaking of it, I heard that His Majesty seems to care about you a while ago." Master Yin asked seemingly unintentionally.

Luo Chaoxi didn't know how Master Yin knew, but he didn't intend to say, "Why is Your Majesty interested in me, a small merchant?"

The private meeting between him and the emperor cannot be known by other people, even Lord Yin.

Master Yin was actually among those ministers back then, so he naturally knew Luo Chaoxi was coming, and he didn't say anything when he saw Luo Chaoxi facing him, but he was very satisfied.

"Your Majesty intends to let you go to the south, there are still three or four months, what are you going to do in these three or four months?"

"Let's get a textile factory." Luo Chaochao said, "Actually, it can be transformed directly with Zhuangzi. There are many Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing that can be transformed."

"But His Majesty may not let you take charge."

"It doesn't matter, anyway, as long as I am the one who collects the money in the end."

Emperor Qing always felt that Luo Chaochao's weakness was money, and when Emperor Qing still needed Luo Chaochao, money would definitely not be cut off.Moreover, Luo Chaochao will go to the south after March, and the factory in the capital city will also be handed over to other people for management, so he has long since dismissed it.

Master Yin saw that Luo Chaochao had something to do with him, so he stopped talking, and instead asked about Luo Chaochao's personal affairs.

"Chao Tide, you are not young anymore. Is it time to think about marriage? I have a disciple. His first daughter has just turned sixteen. She is the age to discuss marriage. She is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. My master is learning poetry and songs, and his personality and appearance are also very good. If you are interested, I can explain it for you. My disciple is from the fifth grade and is getting the favor. If you don’t want to be an official, then get married. An in-law who is an official, if there is something to do in the future, I will discuss it."

Luo Chaoxi paused while holding the teacup, and subconsciously refused, "Sorry, I don't plan to start a family for the time being."

"Why? Or is it because you don't want to be an official? Although I can understand that you want freedom, you also need to understand that sometimes power is very important,"

Luo Chao Chao still shook his head.

As a merchant of Luo Chaoxi, it is impossible to marry the daughter of an official family, let alone a prostitute daughter. When he mentioned this matter, his apprentice was not very happy.

In the eyes of these officials, Luo Chaochao is just a rich man, and these officials who call themselves Qingliu don't pay much attention to money, but to character.

As for why the lady of this family agreed, it was purely because she saw Luo Chaochao when she was shopping in Jiushui, and it was love at first sight.

If it wasn't for Luo Chaoxi's unwillingness to be an official, all the girls in the capital would want to marry him. The daughters of high-ranking families might not necessarily be willing, but the second daughters or the children of officials with low status would be willing.

Luo Chaochao is still considered a favorite in the capital. If Luo Chaochao hadn't been missing frequently, it is estimated that the matchmaker would have stepped on the threshold of Luo Mansion.

"Then when do you plan to get married?"

"You shouldn't think about it until you have a successful career."

"You've done a good job now." Master Yin wondered why Luo Chaochao said that.

In terms of career alone, Luo Chaoxi, a self-made man, has achieved the ultimate at his current age, and then he will accumulate slowly. It is not impossible to stop and think about his own affairs.

However, Luo Chao only shook his head.

Seeing that Luo Chaoxi was so stubborn, Master Yin finally thought of a possibility, "You don't really want to belong?"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. After all, there was absolutely no need to refuse this good marriage with Luo Chaochao's conditions, unless he already wanted it.

Luo Chaoxi was stunned for a moment, and didn't even refute immediately. A figure flashed in his mind very quickly, and then disappeared.

He put down his teacup, frowned and shook his head: "No..."

But Master Yin, who saw Luo Chaoxi's expression, seemed to be sure of something, "Your expression clearly belongs to you, and you are a woman from Kangzhou City?"

Luo Chao Chao shook his head.

"From the capital?"

Luo Chao Chao shook his head again.

Luo Chaoxi had never cared about these things before, and he was usually too busy to think about them. Instead, he only thought about them after being mentioned by Master Yin.

"You like it so much, why don't you let me, an old man, know?"

Luo Chaoxi didn't shake his head this time, but said, "You can't say that. However, I still want to thank you for your kindness. I haven't considered getting married yet."

"Forget it." Seeing Luo Chaoxi like this, Master Yin also understood that this marriage should not be possible. Fortunately, he didn't say death before, but just mentioned it casually.

After this incident, Luo Chaoxi was not in the mood to continue arguing with Mr. Yin here. He stood up and was about to say goodbye. Mr. Yin agreed. Watching Luo Chaoxi put on a black cloak and walk out of the gate, his figure disappeared. Corner at the door.

[You don't want to get married? 】

After leaving the courtyard, the system asked in Luo Chaochao's sea of ​​consciousness, 【Is it because you are doing a task? 】

"...It doesn't count." Luo Chaoxi touched his face and suddenly asked a strange question. "Does your system have gender?"

[It existed before it became a system. 】The system said, 【It's a man, what's wrong? 】

"It's nothing."
