Wear it to a club in another world

Chapter 119 False accusation

The next day, Gu Daoxin was summing up the approximate cost of opening a shop in the capital in his study, when Lv Zhi hurriedly knocked on the door outside, "Master, Master, it's not good!"

Gu Daoxin put away all the papers and placed a book in front of him before letting Lu Zhi in.

"what happened?"

"Someone from the government came and said they wanted to take the young master for questioning."

Gu Daoxin frowned, "What's the situation?"

"The servants don't know either. The first master has returned to the capital, and the second master is here. When I asked the officer who came to arrest him what happened, the other party said that someone sued the young master for knowing the law and breaking the law, saying that the young master deceived the court."

Gu Daoxin sneered, "This hat is buttoned up quite a bit, okay, I'll go and have a look."

Lu Dong followed Gu Daoxin to the hall, although he didn't know what happened, but if someone really wants to touch the master, they must come to him first.

When I arrived at the Zhengzheng Hall, I saw a team of officials there.

Lu Dong weighed that these people are not his opponents.

Gu Shubo looked at Gu Daoxin with a sullen face, "Evil! What kind of stupid thing did you do? Let the government personally come to the house to arrest people, and you will lose all face of the Gu family."

"Father, the matter hasn't been found out yet, why do you say that about your cousin?" Gu Xinyi walked quickly to Gu Daoxin, "Don't worry, as long as you don't do anything illegal, I believe the Futai Lord will give you A justice."

Although the official came to arrest someone, he was also pleasant-looking. Gu Daoxin already had fame and fame in his body, so they still dared not neglect him.Moreover, it was just a formality to go directly to the mansion to arrest the person, because the other party's accusation was too big, but it was really not the case, and it still needs to be verified. If it is true at that time, they naturally don't have to give Gu Daoxin any more color.

"Master Gu San, don't embarrass the younger ones, just go with the younger ones! You will know the specific situation when you go there, and the younger ones are not very clear now. Besides, the other party may be false accusations. National Taiwan University enforces the law impartially, and will definitely return the young master's innocence."

"Okay, I also trust Master Futai. Even if my family doesn't believe me, Master Futai will definitely know that I am a law-abiding person."

Gu Daoxin's insinuations made Gu Shubo's face even more ugly, and Gu Xinyi pulled Gu Shubo to stop him from conflicting with Gu Daoxin.

Gu Daoxin followed the yamen servant, and the matter was so big that the old lady was naturally alarmed.

The old lady had the same reaction as Gu Shubo, she also decided that since the government came to arrest people, Gu Daoxin must have violated the law, she cursed in the room until she coughed non-stop.

Lu Dong got Gu Daoxin's instruction and did not act rashly, but just followed behind to the Yamen.

The yamen is wide open, and the lord of Futai sits high above.There is a young woman standing under the hall, it is Bai Zhi.

It seems that this farce is related to Bai Zhi.

"Gu Daoxin pays homage to Master Futai."

"Gu Daoxin, are you guilty?"

Come up and ask for guilt?

Lu Dong frowned at the door, did the master of the house already believe that the master was guilty?

However, Gu Daoxin was not in a hurry, the master Futai's reaction didn't seem to convict him of guilt, but more like to show his momentum first, to make him appear fair and impartial.After all, when the Gu family hosted a banquet to celebrate his return, the adults of the Futai favored him very much, and it was obvious to all. If he came up with a pleasant face, there might be those rumormongers who would say that the adults were biased.

"The student has always been law-abiding. I don't know what crime I have committed. Please let me know."

"Gu Daoxin! Don't quibble, your lord is wise and powerful, and you will definitely not be fooled by your eloquent tongue!"

Gu Dao smiled and looked at Bai Zhi, "The person who sued me must be Miss Bai, right? Then I don't know why Miss Bai sued me? Maybe it's because Miss Bai's Zhucui Pavilion was opened after the Yaoguang Pavilion. You also learned all the strategies of Yaoguang Pavilion and Jindianzhai, but it ended badly in the end, so you want to sue me? My fault is that I failed to come up with a suitable management method for Zhucui Pavilion?"

The people standing at the gate of the yamen hearing Gu Daoxin's words burst out laughing.

Baizhi's Zhucui Pavilion has indeed become a joke in their Lanling, which probably means that painting a tiger is not an anti-dog.Bai Zhi's behavior also damaged the reputation of the Bai family.At any rate, the Bai family is also a big business. They have been in the gold and jade business for so many years, but they have taught such a daughter. If there is no Bai Duanrui, it really makes people wonder whether the Bai family can only do business but can't teach their children well. .

Bai Zhi smiled viciously, "You can be proud! You will cry soon. My lord," Bai Zhi turned to look at the Futai lord, "I have a clear rule that merchants and their descendants for the last two generations cannot participate in scientific research. But Gu Daoxin, as the boss of Yaoguang Pavilion and Jindianzhai, is a businessman, how can he still participate in the scientific examination? Since he has the ability to take the second place in the provincial examination, it is impossible not to know that Dayan has this The law. This is knowing the law and breaking the law, and the crime is aggravated!"

Gu Daoxin finally understands why the masters of Futai want officials to go to the ancient mansion. It is indeed a felony to take part in the imperial examination as a businessman and become an official. Death penalty is inevitable.

In addition, it is no wonder that Bai Zhi once again said "knowing the law and breaking the law is a crime".

The people listening at the door were also talking about it. Some of them knew that businessmen could not take the imperial examination, and some didn't.

Those who knew it did have doubts when they learned that the Gu Dao Heart Examination was second in the rural examination, but they didn't think too much about it. After all, in the capital, many high-ranking officials and dignitaries are inextricably linked with wealthy businessmen. Relationship, how about the collusion between officials and businessmen?This is nothing more than an open secret, everyone knows it and won't talk about it.

But Bai Zhi brought this matter to the table today, obviously to avenge her personal revenge, maybe it was just like what Gu Daoxin said just now, it was obviously because of her poor management that she couldn't maintain the Zhucui Pavilion, but she wanted to blame others for their methods No, it depends on the person whether the method is good or not.No one forced Bai Zhi to imitate Yaoguang Pavilion, it would be too dishonest for her to do so now.

And regardless of whether Bai Zhi can sue Gu Daoxin today, it will be regarded as causing trouble for the Bai family.There are so many people who cooperate with government and business, Bai Zhi's behavior is to slap these people in the face.

There are also many officials big and small in Lanling, and there are many merchants big and small.Some merchants do have a close relationship with the government, and everyone is tacitly aware of this, but Bai Zhi's actions seem to push the Bai family to the opposite of this situation.Although the Bai family has deep roots in Lanling, they cannot ignore other merchants completely. If these merchants can gather together and become a force, they can still cause you a lot of trouble.

I believe that for a long time to come, the Bai family may not be able to find a suitable butler to cooperate with.

Master Futai looked at Gu Daoxin, "What excuse do you have?"

"My lord, the charges that Miss Bai testified against are false."

"You still want to justify? Who in Lanling doesn't know that Yaoguang Pavilion and Jindianzhai belong to you, do you still want to shirk?"

Gu Dao smiled heartily, "Who does this Yaoguang Pavilion and Jindianzhai belong to? It's not because of Miss Bai's words."

"My words are useless, so don't tell me your cousin's words are useless? My lord, this ancient Daoist has the fame of juren, and the little girl is just a commoner. If she is not sure, how dare she sue the master? She is from the ancient mansion. The other young master, who is also Gu Daoxin's cousin, was not upset with Gu Daoxin's behavior of deceiving the court and disregarding the law, so he informed me and asked me to report it."

The corner of Gu Daoxin's eyes twitched, he knew that Bai Zhi could not deal with such a big matter alone.

"If it's really from the ancient mansion, why didn't he come to report me himself, instead he wanted to find you? Could it be that Miss Bai has a close relationship with my cousin and came here to be my cousin?"

"Don't just talk about my innocence!"

Bai Zhi was so angry that her chest heaved continuously. Speaking of this, she thought of Brother Zhaoyun. Originally, she and Brother Zhaoyun were childhood sweethearts, and they were a match made in heaven. wife.

Gu Daoxin sneered, "It turns out Miss Bai still knows the word "innocent."

"What do you mean by that? Do you mean that Miss Ben can't slander you? Your cousin doesn't want to report you in person because you are brothers after all. , I wrote to tell Miss Ben! Even if you have iron teeth and copper teeth today, don’t even try to get away with it!”

Listening to what he said, it was so imposing, Gu Daoxin was a little suspicious whether Bai Zhi had thought up these words a long time ago, or asked someone to write them out, and he just memorized them, as if he was memorizing a text, Very vocal and emotional.

Gu Daoxin looked calm, "Miss Bai actually doesn't have to be like this. Merchants who open stores and do business will register at the government office. Why don't you find the information of the household registration office, or send a letter to the household registration office, so that people can check the financial information?" In whose name are Dianzhai and Yaoguang Pavilion registered, wouldn’t it be clear at a glance?”

The yamen of the Household Registry Office is located in Nancheng, so it just takes a little more time.

When everyone heard Gu Daoxin mentioning the Household Registry Yamen, they didn't react. They were a little dazed for a while, and some people didn't even know there was such an office, so they asked where the Household Registry Yamen was.

It's no wonder that everyone doesn't know that this government office is a particularly tasteless place.Under normal circumstances, if a new merchant wants to open a store in Lanling, he must go to the household registration office to register.But in a place like Lanling, although there are many foreign businessmen, not many actually register.

Because when the store was first opened, it was enough to make a record in the Yamen, indicating that there was such a store to be opened, what kind of business it was for, and where it was opened. It was not necessary to register under whose name the store was.After three months of opening, go to the household registration office to register and complete the relevant information of the shop.
