Pei Yue looked at Sun Yutong calmly and said calmly: "I don't know how to deal with Mr. Sun?"

Sun Yutong was just a catcher of the third squad, not even an official, just a clerk. Not to mention a viscount like Pei Yue, he couldn't afford to offend any doctor or principal in the six departments. But he wanted this position.

It's not easy to do well, especially in a place like Kyoto where there are many powerful people, and even those with a slightly stupid brain can't sit still.

When Pei Yue asked this question, he immediately realized the mistake he had made - this case was actually not complicated. He could figure it out by just taking the shop owner back for a trial. He said he didn't know what to do in front of Pei Yue.

Disposal is undoubtedly accusing Pei Yue of using his power to intervene.

Sun Yutong quickly apologized and said with a smile: "I think there may be some misunderstanding. After all, this young lady doesn't have any evidence. We can't regard the shopkeeper of your company as a prisoner based on her words."

Pei Yue shook his head and raised his voice: "Captain Sun, since this shopkeeper is suspected, you can just take him back to Kyoto Prefecture for interrogation. I don't know what is the difficulty here? If it is found out that he did it

, Under the current laws of the country, it is the governor's business how to judge the case, and no one else can interfere. If he is innocent, just release him."

He looked at the people around him and asked calmly: "Everyone, is this true?"

The crowd was silent at first, and then suddenly echoed in agreement.

Sun Yutong felt guilty. Although the Viscount in front of him was still young, his aura was really different and he could easily take the initiative. He thought for a while and could only nod his head and said: "That's what the Lord said."

Pei Yue waved his hand and said: "I'm just providing opinions for your reference. Mr. Sun, you may not understand what I said before. After you take the shopkeeper back, you will investigate the case according to your rules. But there are

One thing, don’t give in, otherwise I will really make trouble for you.”

Although the expression on his face was gentle, the coldness in his tone still woke up Sun Yutong.

"Don't worry, Sir, the Kyoto Prefecture will abide by the regulations when handling cases." The catcher quickly replied seriously.

Pei Yue added: "The body of this butcher king will be placed in your Kyoto mansion for the time being. I will send someone to send ice cubes there every day. Before this case is investigated clearly, it is best not to bury it in a hurry. Of course, this

It's just a suggestion, if Mr. Fu Yin doesn't want to do it, I won't have any objection."

Sun Yutong felt quite troubled, and he became increasingly fearful of the young man in front of him.

It's not that he has never dealt with noble disciples, but there has never been anyone as experienced as Pei Yue, and he doesn't behave like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.

Pei Yue looked at the shopkeeper with a complicated expression next to him and said calmly: "The branch is temporarily closed and will not open until the case is investigated. Everyone who had any disputes with Butcher Wang, including you, will all go back with Mr. Sun. Regardless.

Whether you have committed a murder or not, I will take good care of your family members."

From the shopkeeper on down, everyone saluted Pei Yue and said, "Thank you very much, boss!"

Pei Yue turned to the woman again and looked at the little girl with red eyes crying in her arms. He sighed softly in his heart and said warmly: "Madam, the deceased is gone. I am sorry and accept the change."

The woman panicked and said: "My lord, I just...just want to seek justice for my late husband..."

Pei Yue nodded and said: "I understand that if this matter is really done by my subordinates, the national law will definitely not be lenient."

The woman couldn't help but cry again: "Thank you so much, Sir."

This time her cry did not arouse the excitement of the people around her.

Pei Yue said loudly to everyone: "Everyone, since this matter is related to Xiangyun Company, then it is related to me, Pei Yue. No matter what the final result is, I will give the villagers a satisfactory answer. Please go back first and let Kyoto

Chief Sun of the government will take the relevant persons back for trial."

The people left with satisfaction after seeing the excitement, and the storekeepers and the woman and child were also taken to Kyoto Prefecture. The front of the shop suddenly became deserted, and the lively scene of the past was no longer seen.

Pei Yue stood alone on the street, his hands folded in front of him.

The sunshine in late September was very hot, but he felt a chill coming over him.

If he were not here today, or if the way he dealt with it was unreasonable, it would likely trigger a wave of discussion that may seem like just ordinary people's comments, but could fundamentally destroy the credibility of Xiangyun Company.

People's words are scary, three people can become a tiger, even a somewhat strange murder case can be enough to create a powerful storm.

After a long time, Ye Qi's figure appeared at the end of the street.

Pei Yue walked towards her, his eyes full of questions.

Ye Qi nodded slightly.

Pei Yue breathed a sigh of relief and said softly when he walked to her: "This is just the beginning."

Subsequent developments continue to confirm what he said.

On September 25, more than a dozen branches of Xiangyun Trading Co., Ltd. in Xicheng were accused of selling inferior quality coal cakes to ordinary people instead of briquettes. People who did not know the truth encountered many dangers when using such coal cakes to make fires.

Some people have even been poisoned by burning coal.

On September 26, sixteen miners at the Shouyangshan Coal Mine suddenly began to suffer from vomiting and diarrhea after nightfall. It was suspected that there was something wrong with the food provided by the coal mine canteen. Although Wang Yong's timely treatment, the miners' lives were not in danger.

, there was no large-scale commotion in the coal yard, but the incident had spread inadvertently.

On September 27, people began to gather in front of various branches of Xiangyun Store in Nancheng. They were all people who once made a living by cutting wood and burning charcoal. As briquettes quickly occupied the market, the livelihood of these people immediately disappeared.

Bubble. Although the Shouyangshan Coal Field has absorbed some charcoal-burning workers, there are still a large number of people who have lost their source of livelihood. In fact, most of them have been doing other things in the past year, and they suddenly gathered for some reason.

stand up.

On September 28, more and more problems emerged, and Xiangyun Store's branches all over Kyoto and beyond began to close their doors.

Starting from September 26th, the imperial court's memorials to impeach Xiangyun Company and Pei Yue flew to the imperial court like snowflakes. What is a bit strange is that Emperor Kaiping transferred all these memorials to the Dongfu and did not leave them in the middle to express his respect for Pei.

Although Pei Yue had no support, he did not throw the memorial in Pei Yue's face and ask him to plead guilty and defend himself.

…

Qibao Pavilion.

The second shopkeeper, Cheng Siyuan, walked respectfully outside an elegant house and whispered: "My boss."

"Come in." A gentle and calm man's voice came from inside.

Cheng Siyuan pushed the door open, closed it carefully, then walked up to the man, bowed and said, "My boss, the situation has been decided."

The man played with a luminous pearl noncommittally and said with a smile: "Although spring flowers and autumn moon are beautiful, they are easily blown away by the rain and wind. In the end, they only make wedding dresses for others."

Cheng Siyuan shut up and remained silent, still maintaining his bowed posture.

The man looked up at him and asked, "Do you remember what I told you?"

Cheng Siyuan replied respectfully: "I want the recipe and the land in Shouyang Mountain."

The man nodded slightly and said, "Remember, that piece of land is the most important."

"yes."

"This game of chess has just begun. Pei Yue should not give up and just let the game continue."

"yes."

"Let the fire burn brighter and don't give him too much time to react."

"yes."

"Those people in Dongcheng can make a move."

"yes."

"Go ahead and make things more beautiful."

"yes."
