Dad, we are so stable, should we do something?

"Sir, the people from Fangtian Cloth Shop are here." Tian Yuheng informed his master in advance about their coming.

"Oh, they are really fast." The county magistrate was a little surprised at their speed. "Then let's prepare for the court session."

Fang Shiya came here on behalf of Fangtian Cloth Shop, and Tian Yuheng was there to help.

"Who is here?"

"I am Fang Shiya, a native of Yi County, and one of the owners of Jiangnan Fangtian Cloth Shop. I want to sue a group of swindlers headed by Cai Shang, Xu Shu and others. They pretended to be people from our Fangtian Cloth Shop in An County and cheated here. They pretended to be the manager of our Fangtian Cloth Shop to make money.

My family has never been to An County to do business before, and we have never signed any cooperation agreements with them. I am not the one who was deceived in this matter, and it is not my place to sue. However, I do not want others to believe the liar and be cheated of all their money. "

"Oh, is there any evidence to prove that they are not from your Fangtian Cloth Shop?"

"Sir, I have no master-servant relationship with them. How can I provide evidence? However, as long as the other party fails to produce documents proving that they are the manager of our Fangtian Cloth Shop, it can be indirectly proved that I have no relationship with them."

At this time, many people had come to the hall, and some merchants who had participated in the bidding before, heard this and immediately shouted anxiously inside. "You must have teamed up to cheat us. You liar, you took our money and you still want to swallow our money like this."

"Yes, sir, you must help us. They must have teamed up to defraud the merchants in An County. Please help us."

More and more people were complaining outside, and all the merchants who had spent money before started to cry out.

"Quiet, send someone in." Seeing so many merchants making noise outside, but this matter did involve them, the county magistrate asked them to choose someone to come in.

"I'll do it." Soon when no one else dared to step forward, Jiang Dafu, the merchant who had previously obtained the An County bid, stepped forward.

"Cao Min Jiang Dafu is a native of An County. He previously participated in the bidding for the franchisee of Fangtian Cloth Shop and won the bid for the franchisee of An County."

"Jiang Dafu, what's your grievance? Tell me now." Although the county magistrate of An County loved money, he was not a vicious person. He only took the money he could take, and would not take what he shouldn't take. He always had his own principles in solving cases, and there were no unjust, false or wrong cases, because he loved money more than life.

"Sir, I want to sue the owner of Fangtian Cloth Shop for colluding with others to defraud our An County merchants of their franchise money. Today, they have figured out that you, sir, have cut off ties with that group of scammers and pocketed our money." Jiang Dafu heard about this the day after Manager Cai and his men were arrested a few days ago, but no news has been heard from the county.

They went to Yonghe Lane but didn't see anyone. They only heard from people in the same lane that they ran away overnight. Jiang Dashang spent most of his fortune to get this bid. He never expected that the other party was a liar. He also spent money to inquire in the county government and found out that the group of people was arrested by the county magistrate. He just didn't know if the money was still there?

However, the county has not yet tried them and only said that they were waiting for the owner of Fangtian Cloth Shop to come.

Later, he inquired about the Fangtian Cloth Shop and found out that it was real and profitable, but he had never heard of such a thing as franchising. Jiang Dafu had only one idea in mind, which was to make the people of Fangtian Cloth Shop recognize the account. He didn't care whether they were partners or not. He just wanted to be a franchisee of Fangtian Cloth Shop. He felt that there was no hope of getting his money back, and he was afraid that it would be taken by the people in the county government.

"Then do you have any evidence to prove that they are working together to defraud?" The county magistrate knew what Jiang Dafu was thinking as soon as he saw him, but he still asked according to the rules.

"Yes, I have here the contract they signed with us before, and also the seal of Fangtian Cloth Shop." Jiang Dafu is a businessman indeed. He knows that this is fake, yet he can still use it as evidence without any guilt.

The Fangtian Cloth Shop said that they were not in the same group. Even if they were, it would be impossible for them to give a real answer. Anyone with a discerning eye could see this clearly.

"Okay, bring the things up."

Fang Shiya also handed over her document as proof of identity so that the county magistrate could identify her together.

"These two are obviously different. Jiang Dafu, are you deceiving me?"

"Sir, we recognize this one. At that time, Cai Shang and his people said that this one belonged to their Fangtian Cloth Shop. We recognize this one. What do you think?"

Jiang Dafu deliberately asked loudly to the other merchants outside.

"Yes, yes, we recognize this one. This one is from Fangtian Cloth Shop."

"Sir, this is a joke, isn't it? If this is okay, then in the future anyone can say something bad about our Fangtian Fabric Shop, and then plot something against us, and we, Fangtian Fabric Shop, will have to compensate the other party?" Fang Shiya felt that the other party was just looking for trouble.

"How dare you, Jiang Dafu, conclude that the other party is from Fangtian Cloth Shop without even checking. You were deceived. Now the owner of Fangtian Cloth Shop has come to me personally to report the case and the swindler has been caught. How dare you slander a good man like this?"

"Your Excellency, we are innocent. We really thought those people were from Fangtian Cloth Shop. Oh, by the way, I have another piece of evidence. We checked and found that there was a manager among that group of people who had worked at Fangtian Cloth Shop before. It was because we checked this person that we believed them." Jiang Dashang was also fully prepared. If the previous ones didn't work, there would be more later ones.

"Who is that?"

"Xie Baocai, yes, his name is Xie Baocai. He used to work at Fangtian Cloth Shop in Jiangning Prefecture. Many of our merchants have seen him and have done business with him, so we didn't do any investigation and just believed them."

When Xie Baocai's name was mentioned, Fang Shiya was also greatly surprised, but she slowly calmed down, thinking about the other party's current situation. She had clearly stated that she was here to sue that group of scammers, so shouldn't they be suing the other party together with her? Why are they suing her now?

The evidence he presented was clearly untenable, yet he remained so calm. I wonder what his intention was?

"Okay, come on, bring all those people here one by one."

Soon Xie Baocai and others were brought here. They had been locked up in jail before and had used money and connections to no avail. Later they had to notify the Fang family, hoping that they could exonerate themselves. Unexpectedly, they were brought to court today.

"I, Xie Baocai, kowtow to you, sir!" A middle-aged man was seen kneeling in the hall. He had a round face and looked very honest. However, because he had been detained in the cell recently, he had lost a lot of weight, but even so, it was difficult to conceal his honest temperament.

"Xie Shoucai, someone has accused you of impersonating someone from Fangtian Cloth Shop. Do you plead guilty?" the county magistrate asked seriously. Perhaps because Xie Baocai and his men had not been tortured in the past few days, the group of people, including Manager Cai, decided after discussion that they would not plead guilty in today's trial.

"My Lord, I am innocent! I have never cheated anyone, and I am definitely the manager of Fangtian Cloth Shop!" At this moment, Xie Baocai had not noticed Fang Shiya beside him. He was forced to kneel down by the official as soon as he entered the hall, and he had no time to look around. In addition, they were at the back, so they did not notice Fang Shiya's presence.
