Chapter 2820 Master Qingsong 38.0
"You mean, the aggrieved party has taken the Ma family to the government office?"

"Yes, that's it."

“But,” Shen Cha frowned slightly, “what is the victim going to sue for? These kinds of things are always a matter of mutual consent, aren’t they? Unless there is real evidence, there usually won’t be any results. Doesn’t the victim know that?”

“If I had known, I wouldn’t have chosen this path.” Song Yaojia gave a bitter smile. “To be honest, when I was looking at this case, I also felt that Ma Xin here,” he pointed to his head, “had some problems.”

“You can’t say that!” Shen Haolin shook his head at Song Yaojia. “It’s already very difficult for them to save enough money to open a shop. They wanted to choose an auspicious day to open the shop, paid money, didn’t get what they wanted, and even felt looked down upon. It’s normal for them to go crazy.”

“Exactly!” Shen Cha agreed with Shen Haolin. “The problem is that he didn’t check with his friends beforehand to find out the ins and outs, and he didn’t compare prices before placing the order on a whim. As for the Ma family, being perfunctory is definitely wrong, but they probably get a lot of orders like this for auspicious date calculations every day, so it’s understandable that they don’t take it seriously. One person is too concerned about their opening date, and the other is too indifferent. When these two people meet, it’s unlikely that nothing earth-shattering will happen.”

“Cha’er is right.” Shen Haolin raised an eyebrow at Song Yaojia. “Understand?”

"I understand, it was my fault just now." Song Yaojia smiled and continued, "Actually, my uncle and father had said before that the aggrieved party, Ma Xin, had a hard time. In the end, it was something no one expected that things would escalate to that point."

"Your Highness, if we report this to the government office, will they even accept it?" Jin Miaomiao looked at Song Yaojia, then at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, her expression extremely confused. "He doesn't have any evidence to prove that the date is wrong, right? Although the people sent by the Ma family were perfunctory, they did give us a specific date. If the aggrieved party doesn't believe it's an auspicious day, then they need to prove it. He can't just say that the date is wrong because the other party was perfunctory, right?" She spread her hands. "If the aggrieved party thinks it's wrong, they should find some of the Ma family's colleagues and have them also calculate it to see if the date they calculate matches the one the Ma family calculated."

“That’s right.” Shen Cha agreed with Jin Miaomiao’s statement. “At least three families should be consulted. If all three calculate the same date as the Ma family, then it proves there’s no problem with the date. Regardless of the Ma family’s attitude, their skills are undeniable, and they’re not just all talk. We can’t call them fraudsters, right? In that case, the so-called aggrieved party should apologize.” She held up one finger. “That’s one perspective. There’s another. If the calculated dates are all different, and none of them match, then it doesn’t prove the Ma family is wrong. In that case, we need to invite a more authoritative and skilled person in this field to make a judgment and see who has real expertise and who is the fraudster. Only in this way can we determine whether the Ma family is a fraudster or just all talk. With such evidence, the aggrieved party can then file a lawsuit against the Ma family at the government office, right?”

“That’s exactly what I’m saying!” Jin Miaomiao looked at Song Yaojia. “He needs to have both witnesses and physical evidence in his hands before he can file a lawsuit, right?” She paused for a moment. “If he doesn’t even have that process, how can he prove that he is the victim and that the Ma family are liars? Is it just pure conjecture?”

“So, when I said before that there was a problem with him,” Song Yaojia pointed to her head, “it’s not that I think he shouldn’t have sued, but that he sued without any evidence, just because he was hot-blooded.”

"So, did no one tell him what to do?"

“I told him.” Song Yaojia spread his hands. “The clerk in charge of receiving him at the government office was very kind. After listening to his request…” He paused for a moment, “Oh, right, he didn’t even write a complaint. After being kicked out by the Ma family, he went directly to the government office, banged on the drum at the door, and sued the Ma family. Although he had no complaint and no evidence, the clerk still told him what to do. He told Ma Xin everything you two just mentioned, and even told him that if he couldn’t find a suitable person, the government office could help him find one. They also know some experts in this field.”

“That’s true, many government offices have personnel involved in cooperation.” Jin Miaomiao nodded. “But does he accept it? Does he agree to it?”

“He disagrees and refuses to accept it.” Song Yaojia sighed. “He was very agitated and almost injured the clerk who received him. He also shouted in the courtroom that the government office and the Ma family were in cahoots, colluding with each other to swindle his money and ruin his plans.”

"How can you say something like that so casually?" Shen Cha looked at Song Yaojia. "I apologize to you, Yaojia-gege. He really does have some mental issues." "I apologize too," Shen Haolin sighed helplessly. "I didn't expect it to turn out like this. How much did the aggrieved party pay for this deal?"

One tael of silver.

"I see. It's not cheap, but it's not expensive either. However, it's a lot of money for the person who suffered the loss, so it's understandable that he's distressed." Shen Cha thought for a moment, "And then what happened?"

“The government office is definitely not a noisy place. Everyone could see that he was really anxious, so they could only coax him to leave and tell him to stay in the shop for the next few days and not go anywhere. They would send someone to come and find out what was going on.”

"We've calmed them down first."

“Yes!” Song Yaojia nodded. “If Ma Xin had listened to the arrangements and stayed obediently in the shop, perhaps none of this would have happened.”

"So, what did he do?"

"After leaving the government office, he went home and never went out again. After dark, he quietly went out, avoiding the patrolling soldiers, and went directly to the Ma residence."

"The Ma residence?" Shen Cha frowned. "You went to someone's house? What did you do there?"

“The word ‘liar’ is plastered all over people’s doors, walls and surrounding areas.” Song Yaojia shrugged. “The Ma family saw this as soon as they opened their doors this morning.” He sighed. “Although the Ma family isn’t a big family, they do have guards. I don’t know how Ma Xin managed to do this.”

Didn't he say so himself?

"No, because when we found him, he was already unable to speak."

"Huh?" Jin Miaomiao was stunned. "Could it be that the person is dead?"

“Yes!” Song Yaojia nodded. “Because they found the door and walls covered with swindlers’ posters, the Ma family reported it to the authorities. Given what happened the day before, the government office immediately knew who did it and went straight to Ma Xin. As a result,” he sighed softly, “they found his body in his house, and his suicide note was found next to his body.”
