Inquirer of Teyvat

Chapter 370 Contract, Obligation, Transaction, Fraud (5k)

Watching the director of the General Affairs Department take the two away,

A large crowd of onlookers followed,

Watching lawsuits is also one of the favorite programs for Liyue people.

Compared with the stories that the storytellers repeat every now and then, or the various opera shows that Li Yue is familiar with,
Lawsuits from the General Affairs Department always give people some novelty.

After all, lawsuits are always different.

"Would you like to take a look?" Wang Daoyi asked, looking down at Naxida.

Nasida nodded: "We need to see."

She is also very interested in this lawsuit,
Although I chatted with Xingqiu about a lot of Liyue's business affairs, but the information I got from the chat, there is no such thing as directly looking at the lawsuit.

Seeing Naxida nodding, Wang Daoyi followed the crowd without any nonsense, and went to the office of the General Affairs Department in the market together.

The crowd followed the director of the General Affairs Department into the lobby, and the guarding Qianyan Army did not stop them.

Look at the lawsuit, it is normal behavior,

Seven Star's instruction on this is to encourage, not hinder,
As long as the onlookers do not disrupt the normal progress of the lawsuit, it should be assumed that the onlookers do not exist.

After all, no matter what bill Seven Stars issues, it will have credibility only if it is sufficiently open and transparent.

Not long after, an official from the Department of General Affairs came over,
First looked at the information collected by the officer before, and then looked indifferently at the two businessmen who were still confronting each other in the lobby,

Slowly he said:
"There is a dispute between merchants A and B trading Yeboshi. Next, the two will present the case."

"Let's start with Party A's statement. Please be careful not to lie, exaggerate, or make false accusations."

After finishing speaking, the official of the General Affairs Department looked at businessman A and said nothing more.

In the lobby, both the onlookers and businessman B fell silent.

It is already common sense in Liyue that no noise is allowed during the trial, and offenders will be fined heavily.

"Businessman A, born in the surrounding villages of the stratum rock giant abyss, opened Yeboshi business in May last year, and now owns a property at No. 5, Dock Market."

Businessman A stepped forward and first introduced his identity, origin, and employment information.

"Three months ago, businessman B came to my shop. After observing the samples of Yebo stones in my shop, he placed an order for 12 moras of Yebo stones in my shop, totaling 120 catties, and the unit price was 1000 Mo La weighs a catty, and the quality is inferior to the dim level."

Yebo stone, a special mineral of Liyue that can emit light, generally has two grades: bright and dim, and in the two major grades, there are five grades: top grade, top grade, middle grade, low grade, and low grade. ,
This classification form further subdivides Yebo stone and better distinguishes prices.

"After signing the contract, merchant B paid half of the payment in advance, and I delivered the goods three days ago, but merchant B refused to continue paying the balance."

"My lord, I have finished my statement."

After finishing speaking, Businessman A took a step back and shut up.

The official of the General Affairs Department nodded slightly, recorded what businessman A said, and then looked at businessman B beside him,
"Businessman B, it's up to you to state the case next. Please be careful not to lie, exaggerate, or make false accusations."

Businessman B nodded, took a step forward,
"Businessman B, born in Qingcezhuang, came to Liyue Port to do business in February this year. He is engaged in the specialty ore trade between Liyue and Monde, and has not opened a shop."

Also first introduced his identity, origin, and employment information.

"Three months ago, I went to the shop opened by businessman A in the wharf market. I saw that the samples in his shop were excellent, so after asking about the price, I placed an order for a total of 1000 catties at the price of 120 moras per catty. Yebo stone, the total price is 12 moras, and the quality is inferior to the dim level."

So far, there is no difference between what the two merchants say. They are both observing samples and placing orders.

"After signing the contract, I paid half of the payment in advance. Three days ago, merchant A delivered the goods. After inspection, I found that the goods did not match the previous samples, so I refused to continue the transaction and asked merchant A to return the payment and compensate !"

"My lord, I have finished my statement."

The official of the General Affairs Department nodded, and then looked at the director of the General Affairs Department beside him: "Did you bring the copy of the contract they signed?"

In Liyue's business activities, the transaction amount has reached a figure of 12 moras, so it is natural to pay taxes, and to pay taxes, the General Affairs Department will have a corresponding copy of the contract.

The director of the General Affairs Department nodded, took out a copy of the contract from the documents beside him, and handed it to the official of the General Affairs Department.

Carefully read the contents of the contract,

As time passed, there was still no noise in the lobby. Everyone was waiting for the General Affairs Department official to read the contract.
After nearly 10 minutes,
"Next, I will ask questions, and you will answer them. Don't lie, exaggerate, or make false accusations. Do you understand?"

"Understood, my lord."*2
The official of the General Affairs Department nodded, still with a cold and indifferent look:

"Businessman A, the Yebo stone you sell is artificially synthesized, and the material is the Yebo stone fragments processed in the mine, isn't it?"

Businessman A nodded: "Yes, my lord, this point is specially marked in the contract."

The General Affairs Department official nodded, and then looked at the other person: "Businessman B, did you read the contract carefully when you signed the contract?"

Businessman B's face was pale: "It was very late at that time, and I was in a hurry to go home"

"Businessman B, please answer directly, have you read the contract carefully?" An official from the General Affairs Department interrupted Businessman B's defense.

"No, no." Businessman B turned pale.

The official of the General Affairs Department said indifferently: "The contract is the foundation of Liyue. No matter what kind of transaction it is, once the contract is signed, it cannot be violated. If you break your promise, you will be punished. This is the legal principle taught by the emperor to Liyue, do you agree?"

Businessman B shook his head: "I agree."

Disrespecting the contract, this alone, no matter what excuses he uses, it is impossible to win the judgment.

The contract is the foundation of Liyue's foothold.

The crowd of onlookers also looked at Businessman B with a speechless face. They didn't even read the contract. How dare they come to the lawsuit?
I thought it was an interesting lawsuit, but in the end, that's it?

the other side,
The official of the General Affairs Department still looked indifferent: "Businessman B, do you want to choose to fulfill the contract and complete the transaction, or violate the contract and accept punishment?"

Businessman B paled, is there any choice?
If you fulfill the contract, you will lose some money at most. If you violate the contract, you will really be cut off from Liyue Business.

"I choose to fulfill the contract."

The official from the Department of General Affairs nodded: "Then it will be judged that the contract between businessman A and B is correct in the dispute over Yeboshi. The transaction continues. Businessman B needs to make up the payment to businessman A as soon as possible."

"Thank you, Lord, for upholding justice." Businessman A bowed his hands to the official of the General Affairs Department with a smile on his face, with a look of complacency.

The official of the General Affairs Department gave him an indifferent look, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

He has seen this kind of person a lot.

"The dispute over the Yeboshi trading contract between businessman A and B is over. Next, the next case will start, the fraud case of Yeboshi trading between businessman A and B."

Businessman A: "Huh?"

Businessman B: "Yeah!"

Onlookers: Hehehe.

Seeing the sudden change in the expressions of the two businessmen in the lobby,

Wang Daoyi couldn't help raising his eyebrows, this official from the General Affairs Department is interesting.

Nasida's eyes lit up, and she continued to observe the development of the matter.

Regardless of the changes in the expressions of the two businessmen in the lobby, the official of the General Affairs Department still looked indifferent: "Officer, are you back?"

The director of the General Affairs Department at the side nodded: "My lord, the person who went to shop No. 190 for inspection has returned and can be summoned at any time."

"Then let people come up."

After being summoned by an official of the General Affairs Department, a man dressed as an employee of the General Affairs Department came to the lobby and stood beside the two businessmen,

"The Quality Inspection Department of the General Affairs Department, job number 13524, here to report on your work." The staff of the General Affairs Department gave a slight salute to the official.

The official of the General Affairs Department nodded: "Quality Inspection No. 13524, can you guarantee that what you say next is completely true, without prejudice, and without imagination."

The employee of the General Affairs Department replied seriously: "Quality Inspection No. 13524 hereby declares that what I say next is completely true, without prejudice, and without imagination."

"Okay, first of all, have you found a sign in store No. 197 that the sample is for reference only?"

"Nothing found."

"Okay, then did you find a sign in store No. 197 that the goods are synthetic products?"

"Nothing found."

"Then, did you find any other artificially synthesized night moorite samples in shop No. 197?"

"Nothing found."

After a series of answers,
The eyes of the General Affairs Department official have grown colder,

And businessman A's forehead already had sweat stains, dripping uncontrollably to the ground.

Businessman B's previous pale face disappeared, and joy appeared in his eyes.

"Okay, QC No. 13524, please step aside and rest, ready to continue your presentation at any time."

After letting the staff of the General Affairs Department go to rest,

The official of the General Affairs Department looked at Businessman A who was sweating profusely in the lobby: "Businessman A, according to the Liyue Act, merchants should label the goods they sell authentically and effectively. Have you marked them?"

"I. I." Businessman A faltered, and big drops of sweat fell from his forehead.

The eyes of the official of the General Affairs Department became more and more cold: "Please answer my question as soon as possible!"

Businessman A looked ashamed: "I don't."

"Okay, merchant A, do you intend to deceive merchant B into signing a contract with a sample of the top-grade Yebo stone?" the official of the General Affairs Department continued to ask.

Businessman A waved his hands again and again: "No, no, no, I didn't intend to deceive, I just forgot to remind!"

Intentional deception and forgetting to remind are completely two concepts, and businessman A still understands this.

A hint of disgust and disdain flashed in the eyes of the General Affairs Department official,

He naturally knew that the other party was deceiving on purpose, but in the absence of evidence, he could only deal with it as a forgotten reminder.

"Then, Merchant A, you didn't set up clear information about the goods in the store, and you didn't fulfill your duty of reminder during the transaction. Do you admit these two points?"

Businessman A grimaced: "Admit it."

"Okay, then according to Liyue's regulations, if you haven't set up clear cargo information, you will be fined to suspend your business. After rectification, the General Affairs Department will conduct an inspection, and you will be able to reopen after there are no problems. Do you have any objections?"

"No objection."

"Well, according to Liyue's regulations, if you fail to fulfill your duty of reminder during the transaction, half of the contractual responsibilities between you and Merchant B will be borne by you. Do you have any objections?"

"...No objection." Businessman A hesitated for a while, but finally did not continue to quibble. He knew that sophistry would only increase the punishment.

Looking past the two businessmen and the crowd watching,

The official of the General Affairs Department spoke slowly: "Due to the connection between the two cases, now, businessman B, do you want to cancel the original contract?"

Businessman B nodded quickly: "I want to cancel."

The official looked at the other person again: "Businessman A, do you agree with businessman B to cancel the contract?"

"Agreed." Businessman A was helpless, what else could he do if he disagreed?

"Okay, then, under the witness of all of you, I pronounce the verdict. After negotiation, the two parties negotiated to terminate the contract peacefully. Merchant A needs to return the advance payment of merchant B, but does not need to pay any compensation. There is also no need to pay liquidated damages for returning Merchant A’s goods.”

"In addition, merchant B will be fined 5000 moras for neglecting the contract."

After finishing speaking, the official of the General Affairs Department looked at everyone: "Do you have any objections to the punishment of businessman A and Party B?"

The crowd of onlookers didn't make a sound.

After three breaths, the official of the General Affairs Department withdrew his gaze and looked at the officer beside him: "Since everyone has no objection, let's make a verdict."

In a lawsuit, both of them were punished. I have to say, it was very interesting.

Although businessman B is the one who was deceived, he does not pay attention to the contract, which is a violation of Liyue's basic legal principles. Therefore, even if he is the deceived person, he must be punished to wake him up, warn others, and let everyone know the meaning of the contract. importance.

Although businessman A acted in accordance with the contract, he violated other laws and regulations of Liyue, and he would also be punished, because now is the era of rule by man, and there are laws besides the contract.

Watching the case end,

Wang Daoyi looked down at Naxida: "How about it, do you have any ideas?"

Nashida nodded thoughtfully: "Well, there are some."

Then he looked up at Wang Daoyi, a little embarrassed: "Daoyi, can I have a chat with that person?"

Nasida pointed to the officer of the General Affairs Department who was handling the case before. The officer hurried back after the case was over, as if he was very busy.

"Talk to him? Oh, I'll go ask." Wang Daoyi didn't guarantee it. Who knows if the other party recognizes him? Although he knows that he is quite famous in the General Affairs Department, what if there is someone who doesn't know the goods?

Holding Nasida's hand, he walked to the side of the director of the General Affairs Department: "Hello, I want to ask, can we visit the person who just tried the case?"

The director of the General Affairs Department was recording the case just now, when he heard the voice, he raised his head and looked familiar, and looked at Wang Daoyi's face for a while,
"Oh, it's His Excellency Wang Daoyi. Sorry, I didn't recognize him just now. You want to visit Mr. Gan Wei. He seems to be a little busy recently. However, if it's you, you can go directly to Room [-] in the backyard, which is his. office."

"Okay, thank you, you can continue to work."

With Naxida, the two came to the backyard,
Maybe Wang Daoyi's face is really easy to use, or maybe the Department of General Affairs here is close enough to the people,
No one stopped the two of them all the way in, and no one checked.

Room No. [-]. Wang Dao looked around and quickly found the corresponding room.

went up, knocked on the door,
"Who? What's the matter?" The voice of the trial officer came from the room.

"I am Wang Daoyi, here to visit Your Excellency."

"Wang Daoyi?" A voice came from the room quickly, and after a few breaths, the door was opened, "It turns out that His Excellency Wang Daoyi came to visit, I'm sorry, I've been busy recently, so I'm sorry."

"No, no, we took the liberty to visit and disturbed your Excellency."

"Haha, don't bother, don't bother, please come in, both of you, my name is Gan Wei, just call me by my name."

Gan Wei gave up his seat with a smile and motioned for the two to go in and chat.

enter the room,

The purpose of entry is a large number of documents, which almost filled the entire room.

"Ha, sorry, I checked a lot recently, so it's not so clean."

"It's okay, I've been to Gan Yu's office, it's similar to yours."

"Senior Gan Yu? I heard that he is a very capable senior." Hearing Wang Daoyi comparing himself with Gan Yu, Gan Wei smiled more enthusiastically.

Wang Daoyi skipped over the documents on his desk,
[About campaigning for Tianshu Star and organizing ideas after a successful campaign]

Good guy, is this person actually a candidate for Tianshu Star?

It's really true that you don't show your face.
Wang Daoyi remembered that he once met a man named Zhiyi in Yuehai Pavilion, who seemed to be the successor trained by Uncle Tian.
It seems that the selection of Tianshu Star has already started in secret.

After pouring some tea for the two of them, Gan Wei asked curiously: "I don't know if you two are visiting, what's the matter?"

Gan Wei treats Naxida who is like a little lolita equally. He knows that even a little girl must be capable of being around such a strange person as Wang Daoyi.

Hearing Gan Wei's question, Wang Daoyi looked at Naxida.

Nasida blinked her big eyes: "Just now, when you tried the case, it seemed that you knew the truth from the beginning?"

"Huh? The case just now?" Gan Wei was a little surprised, as if he didn't expect that the two would come to him for the case.

However, he nodded quickly: "Yes, I knew the tricks from the beginning."

"Can you tell me?"

"Oh, what I want to say is experience. Apart from being an official of the Department of General Affairs, I am also a businessman. I have encountered the case just now in my business career. Something went wrong."

"Experience. Is it because of experience that you judged like that?" Nasida asked again.

Gan Wei shook his head slightly when he heard Nasida's question: "Huh? That's not true. If it's previous experience, businessman B didn't pay attention to the contract and caused losses, then it's his own problem, and the matter is over. "

"But now, the emperor is gone, and the seven stars are in power, but the seven stars are not the emperor, and they are not as wise and powerful as the emperor. They can make a decision without making mistakes."

"So they formulated a large number of new regulations to improve today's Liyue, which resulted in today's Liyue. In addition to the contract, there are laws, and under the law, there are human feelings, so today's judgment , is much more complicated than before.”
