Su Qingluan naturally did not come unprepared. Although the laws of this world were not as complete as those in later generations, the necessary procedures were still in place.
For example, as the real owner of "Su Ji", she must of course go to the corresponding county government to register. Even if she opens a branch, the shopkeeper is simply an "executor", and the real owner is still Su Qingluan herself.
Although the Xie family acted like they were taking on a lot of responsibilities when the procedures were first handled, especially Xie Deshun, who acted like "Don't worry, I can handle everything in the capital", Su Qingluan obviously didn't buy it.
After all, many times, if the name is not right, the words will not flow. If she wants to be lazy in the early stage, she will definitely suffer losses later, and big losses.
Fortunately, Su Qingluan ran around with all her might, and finally managed to get all the necessary and possible paperwork done. After all, the future is often unpredictable, so it's always good to plan ahead.
Therefore, the benefits of running around before are now apparent - Su Qingluan carries all these documents with her.
After all, even though she was the shopkeeper, she couldn't be unreasonable, right? She had actually prepared herself to explain the situation to the shopkeeper in a gentle manner, and was also prepared for the possibility that the other party might not recognize her for a while and cause a misunderstanding.
Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper Lu started with a scene of "embezzlement", "flattering the powerful and bullying the weak", and "a mean-spirited person", which made Su Qingluan lose all her good manners.
Since you do it on the first day, don't blame others for doing it on the fifteenth.
Su Qingluan thought so and slapped the documents on the counter one by one.
These officers were only here to arrest people, and they didn't know whether these documents were real or fake - after all, only their superiors could tell the authenticity of these official seals. So everyone looked at each other and asked everyone to go into the yamen.
In fact, although Manager Lu did not know any powerful officials, he did know a few officials at the yamen gate. He wanted to secretly give a wink to this little girl of unknown origin to show his power.
In fact, at this time he had already secretly believed the truth that Su Qingluan was the shopkeeper in the store, because he had heard from his brother-in-law that this store was simply sold by the Xie family to purchase the distribution rights of "Su Ji" fruit jam.
In this way, other families can’t even resell the products, let alone sell them.
But in the final analysis, the "core technology" of this jam is still in Su Qingluan's hands.
Even so, Lu Jian still looked down on this little girl. In his view, this wild girl was only able to sell her small fruit jam at a sky-high price by borrowing the influence of the Xie Mansion in Jingzhou. Therefore, all this wealth was given by the Xie Mansion. Without the Xie Mansion, she, a little girl, would be nothing.
So even if it was said that they had to "go to court", Lu Jian was not afraid. Instead, he asked his men to quickly go to the Xie Mansion to find his biggest backer, that is, the Xie Mansion's chief steward, Xie Deshun.
There are many rules to follow in court, one of which is kneeling. Su Qingluan whispered to Yaoguang, "I'll follow the official later. You follow behind and don't go to the court, just in case."
Yaoguang wanted to follow, but Su Qingluan pressed her hand and shook her head. Since Su Qingluan was so sure, Yaoguang gave up. Then she whispered a few words in Su Qingluan's ear.
Su Qingluan was surprised and said, "When did you do it? I didn't even notice!"
Yaoguang snorted, "If even someone like you who knows nothing about martial arts can detect it, then am I really useless?"
Su Qingluan smiled and ignored her disparaging remarks, nodding: "In that case, I'll leave the thing here for now, and we'll watch the show together later."
On the other side, the police came to arrest the "criminals", but they found out there was another hidden secret, so they could not detain Su Qingluan or Manager Lu as criminals, so they could only let them follow behind to the yamen.
Originally, everyone in court, whether plaintiff or defendant, had to kneel down. However, "Mu Xingzhi" had meritorious service, and it could even be found out.
According to the laws of this dynasty, Su Qingluan, as his wife who was arranged by three matchmakers and six betrothals, can enjoy "family treatment". Of course, this is generally only enjoyed by parents, legal wives, and legitimate sons and daughters. As a "cousin", Yaoguang naturally does not have this treatment. This is one of the reasons why Su Qingluan did not let Yaoguang go to court with him.
So Shopkeeper Lu knelt on the hard floor feeling very aggrieved, watching Su Qingluan sitting leisurely, feeling so relaxed.
Shopkeeper Lu was so angry that he almost fainted.
Because there were no problems with the procedures on Su Qingluan's side, it was soon proved that Manager Lu's claim about the "bad guys" was pure nonsense.
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Shopkeeper Lu was able to be flexible and quickly put on a polite smile: "Oh, Shopkeeper Su, I am really short-sighted. It's just that you and the lady accompanying you were a little too rude..."
"Oh? So this is still my problem?" Su Qingluan asked with a smile.
"No, I dare not..."
Of course, the court was not the place for these two to bicker. The prefect banged the gavel, and everyone had to remain silent.
Originally, this matter could have ended with "a misunderstanding", but unexpectedly, Su Qingluan asked: "If the people below hid the property and enriched themselves, how would they be convicted?"
"Shopkeeper Su," Lv Jian shrieked, his eyes bulging like a bald chicken that had been scalded. "You, you can't just spit bloody words at me just because we have a personal grudge!"
