Chapter 89 Let's wait and see!
"Manager Wu, tell the kitchen to prepare a few of our Huibinlou's specialties, pack them in food boxes, and take them to Lord Ye. Just say that I admire Lord Ye's diligence and love for the people, and I specially offer this meal to him."
Wu Jiantong understood what Su Yujin meant and quickly responded, "Yes, I'll have someone prepare it right away."
"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by this?" Upon seeing this, Captain Guo was immediately dissatisfied. "Could it be that you want to go to the government office to complain to Lord Ye? I'm going to tell you the truth first..."
"What are you talking about, Captain Guo?"
Su Yujin interrupted him, "I just said that I only gave a meal to Lord Ye out of respect for him. Why did you suddenly bring him to complain?"
"Besides, Captain Guo is here for routine work, which is necessary for handling the case. No matter what, there is nothing wrong with him. It is as it should be. Although we are just ordinary merchants doing business, we also understand the overall situation and will not interfere with Captain Guo and others in handling the case."
"But since Captain Guo mentioned filing a complaint, I'm a little confused. Since Captain Guo's handling of the case is beyond reproach, why is he afraid of us filing a complaint at the government office? Could it be that Captain Guo has done something wrong and is feeling uneasy?"
Captain Guo: "..."
After his expression changed, he shouted, "No, it's nothing. I was just doing my job. I've always done it properly. How could I have done anything wrong?"
"As long as you have no guilty conscience, that's the best."
Su Yujin smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Captain Guo. Please continue investigating the case. I'll excuse you now."
After saying that, he led Ai Cao into the guest house.
After watching Su Yujin walk in, Captain Guo spat on the ground.
What a thing! A little girl, relying on her family's few stinky money, pretended to open a restaurant in Qinghe County, and the business was barely passable. She had no idea of the world and thought she could walk around in Qinghe County.
Fuck you!
If I don't let her know how powerful I am, she really won't know her own last name!
"Boss, should we retreat?" A young constable beside him asked worriedly.
"Retreat? Why retreat?" Captain Guo snorted coldly.
"Hasn't that shopkeeper Wu already taken his staff and food to the county government? If they really complain to you, then we..."
But what can I do?
"Give him ten times the courage!" Captain Guo disagreed, "Do they really think that the government office is run by their family? If they want to send things in, they can send things in. If they want to find fault with someone, they can find fault with that person."
"Let's not talk about the fact that the man surnamed Wu is just the owner of a restaurant. It's not certain whether he can meet you. Even if he does, so what!"
"I am doing my job here seriously. Even if the king of heaven comes, he can't find any fault with me. Besides, I have been in the government for so many years. How many years has Lord Ye been here?"
"He still relies on us to help him with many big and small things in this county, so we have to give us some face, it won't be a big deal!"
After hearing what Captain Guo said, the young detective's original fear disappeared for the most part, and he continued to follow Captain Guo's work.
Here, Wu Jiantong led his servants and carried food boxes to the county government office.
When Ye Yongwang learned that he was the shopkeeper of Huibinlou, he invited him in and asked, "What can I do for you, Shopkeeper Wu?"
Wu Jiantong stated his purpose straight away and talked about Captain Guo's matter. "It's not a big deal. We merchants should support the government. But Captain Guo obviously did it on purpose. And the relationship between Captain Guo and Ming Yuxuan is bound to make people think too much."
"If word gets out that the government is bullying others by taking advantage of its power, it will damage the government's reputation, and people will say that Lord Ye is incompetent. So we, the guest house, have the guts to talk to Lord Ye about this matter, and we hope that Lord Ye can uphold justice for our guest house."
When Wu Jiantong finished speaking, a layer of sweat broke out on his back.
The gate of the yamen faces south. Don't come in if you don't have money.
Although both the imperial court and the government often say that they are working for the benefit of the people, they are still government offices after all. Wu Jiantong has no idea whether they will make decisions for a merchant like them.
Furthermore, Captain Guo is also a veteran in the yamen. Officials are friendly to each other, and the yamen will more or less speak for its own people.
The boss asked him to sue Captain Guo for his crimes, but he didn't know whether it was right or not.
Our boss is a little young after all. Although he knows the ins and outs of doing business, he is still a little lacking in social skills.
Wu Jiantong sighed in his heart and became more and more uneasy.
Ye Yongwang nodded and said in a deep voice, "I know about this matter. The government office is supposed to benefit the people. We must not abuse our power to bully others and cause trouble to the people."
"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Wu. I will handle this matter impartially. When you go back, please also tell Miss Su that you can rest assured that such things will never happen again."
"Yes, thank you for your help, sir."
Hearing Ye Yongwang say this, Wu Jiantong was terrified and thanked him repeatedly. He did not dare to stay in the yamen any longer. He just left the food boxes and hurried out of the yamen.
After walking a long way out of the yamen, Wu Jiantong still felt that his steps were a little unsteady.
Lord Ye agreed so readily? Why did it feel like a dream? Or was it that Lord Ye just agreed on the surface because someone came to sue his subordinates and he couldn't save face, but in fact he was very angry and wanted to take revenge on Huibinlou later...
When Wu Jiantong returned to Huibin Building, he was still a little dazed.
When Captain Guo saw that Wu Jiantong looked unhappy when he came back, he raised his chin even more.
Oh……
Su Yujin is a young girl who doesn't understand the ways of the world and dares to touch any obstacle. You, Wu Jiantong, are also quite old and have been in the world for so many years, but you don't even understand these things. You deserve it!
This is just the beginning!
You guys are so arrogant, so let's just wait and see! Captain Guo was feeling proud when he saw Captain Zheng leading a few people over.
"Hey, why are you here, Brother Zheng?" Captain Guo said with a smile on his face.
Captain Zheng had more seniority than him, and because he had handled several cases before, Ye Yongwang thought highly of him. In addition, Captain Zheng's uncle was a chief clerk, so the entire yamen respected Captain Zheng very much.
"My Lord has told me to tell you that the matter of the investigation is of great importance. Not only must it be investigated carefully, but the place of the investigation is also very important."
Captain Zheng said sternly, "This place is really inappropriate. You should take your men to another place."
"Change place?" Captain Guo asked, "Where to change?"
"Since you said the entrance to Yuxuan is good, let's go there..."
