Wang Chong touched her deep gaze, panicked and dodged, and there were several young scholars standing beside him, who comforted him in a low voice when they saw this:

"Virtuous brother, don't panic, for the sake of my brother Guan Liang, Lord Liang is upright, and he will not take advantage of you for the sake of fame and reputation, and he will be able to see everything and find out the truth. ”

"Yes, Lord Liang will be able to deal with it impartially. ”

"No, he's not even afraid of the left minister. ”

……

Wang Chong only participated in the township test this autumn, and he was already a lifter. He was not afraid that Liang Xinming would not be able to find out the case, but what if he found out? He was a dignified young master from a scholarly family, and he was sued in court because of the woman in the Qinglou, no matter what the result was, the loss of face was certain, and his father and brother would not spare him.

Just thinking about it, I saw Liang Xinming gently pat the startled wood, and said, "Take the plaintiff Han Ming!" There was a "snap", it was not heavy, and it was not loud, but everyone in the hall held their breath and stared, and even smiled and looked at her.

Wang Chong and several teenagers were full of admiration, they were about the same age as Liang Xinming, and they had not yet participated in the Spring Festival, and Liang Xinming was already in the second grade, the gap was too big, and they could only look up to her and admire her.

Han Ming was brought up and knelt down to reply.

Liang Xinming looked at this man quietly: as if to prove that he was a fur merchant, he was wearing a fur fox fur jacket and a fox fur hat, and he was furry from top to bottom, like an animal if he did not walk upright. A square face was revealed in the grass, with slightly deep eyebrows and a straight nose, and he was about thirty years old.

Liang Xinming's heart flashed a trace of strangeness.

As usual, she asked, "Who is kneeling?"

Han Ming said: "Grass people Han Ming." ”

Liang Xinming asked again: "What do you do for a living?"

Han Ming said: "The grass people are fur merchants. ”

Liang Xinming asked again: "Where do you usually buy fur from?"

Han Ming said: "North." ”

Liang Xinming asked: "Speaking of specifics, where is the north?"

Han Ming hurriedly replied: "The fathers and ancestors of the grass people were all born in the fur business, and they traveled to the capital to Tongyunzhou all the year round, and then to the Heimangyuan, and then to the border of Anguo, buying furs along the way, and selling them back to the capital for sale. They also sold silk, tea, and porcelain from the capital to the north. ”

Liang Xinming said: "So, you are mainly doing business with Anguo at the border?"

Han Ming said busily: "There are also Dajing's, and they do business along the way." ”

Liang Xinming asked again: "When will you go and when will you return?"

Han Ming said: "Go in spring and return in late autumn." ”

Liang Xinming nodded, and then asked, "Who are you suing and why are you suing him?"

Seeing that she finally asked about the case, Han Ming breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly spoke. He fell in love with the Qing official Red Bean girl in the Xiannu Pavilion, and wanted to redeem her and take her as a concubine. His wife disappeared a few years ago, leaving two sons young, and the old lady was blind, and he didn't plan to marry again, so he wanted to take a concubine, take care of the inner house, and take care of the old lady and son.

Mother Chen of the Xiannu Pavilion said that she spent a lot of money cultivating red beans, and she had to redeem herself before she started earning money, and she couldn't do without 10,000 silver. Han Ming fell in love with the red beans, and there was no shortage of these silvers, so he agreed.

Unexpectedly, after he handed over the silver, the third young master of the Wang family stepped in, threatened Chen's mother to return his silver, and took the red beans away at a price of 3,000 taels.

After hearing this, Liang Xinming looked at him and asked: "Oh? That being the case, then why don't you want to bear it now?" Since you come to business, pay attention to harmony and make money, and personal connections are the most important thing, not to mention offending the royal family of the hairpin family for a Qinglou woman, some people even send their daughters to wealthy families as concubines in order to make good friends. This official is very curious, who gave you the courage to sue Young Master Wang?"

Han Ming's expression froze, and he was a little at a loss.

There was a slight agitation in the hall, everyone didn't seem to expect it, they thought that the upright Governor Liang would openly favor the Wang family and the third young master Wang without waiting for the case to be clarified; even Wang Chong didn't expect that he was so angry that he gritted his teeth because of Han Ming's unfounded words, who knew that Liang Xinming was openly biased in favor of him, but he was embarrassed.

Liang Xinming ignored everyone and only stared at Han Ming.

Han Ming quickly replied, "It was given by adults." ”

Liang Xinming asked, "You said that the official gave it to you?"

Han Ming said respectfully: "Yes." The adult is upright, and even the left minister is not afraid, which gives the villain courage. The villain wanted to accept red beans, so he came to sue. As long as the adult judges the case impartially, even if Young Master Wang gets angry afterwards, he will not retaliate against the villain. ”

Liang Xinming chuckled: "You are obedient." ”

This is obviously disgusting to her and Wang Heng, no matter whether she wins or loses, Wang Chong's face is lost, and she doesn't want to judge beautifully and handle it thoroughly. If she doesn't handle it properly, it will be even more troublesome, and before she tried Zuo Xiang, because of Zuo Xiang's case, the Huang family was abandoned by the Xuanwu Palace, etc., they will be turned out and criticized and accused.

She shouted, "Witness Chen's mother." ”

After speaking, he found that Han Ming's shoulders were slumped, and he didn't know if he was frightened by her just now, thinking that she was going to bend the law for personal gain.

After Chen's mother came to the court, she spoke in more detail, indicating that she had lost both people and money, and proposed to ask Wang to make up the difference in price.

Liang Xinming listened quietly, and let Chen's mother speak dryly, so she had to stop by herself before she said, "Pass the red bean girl!"

Chen's mother was stunned, why didn't she ask her a word?

The red bean girl came to the court, causing a commotion inside and outside, because this girl was plain-faced, beautiful and refined, not at all like a dusty woman.

Liang Xinming suddenly felt in her heart, no wonder Wang Chong would take a fancy to it, this time she didn't repeat the nonsense, and asked Hongdou directly, who redeemed her first?

Hongdou said: "Young Master Wang." ”

Mother Chen shouted: "You lie!" she turned to Liang Xinming and said, "My lord, she privately admires Young Master Wang and wants to climb high, so she naturally ......"

"Smack!"

Liang Xinming was shocked, neither light nor heavy, and with her moody expression, she successfully shook Chen's mother and Han Ming, who was about to speak.

Liang Xinming said: "If you have anything to say, when the official asks you, you can say it." If you disturb the public court again and interrupt the official's questioning, you will be able to slap your mouth!"

Chen's mother closed her mouth in horror.

Liang Xinming said to the red bean: "Go on!"

Hongdou said, "Lord Xie." On that day, Young Master Wang only pitied the little girl for falling into the dust at a young age, and regretted a few words, but did not want to redeem the little girl. It was Chen's mother who provoked him, saying that since the young master was so pitiful and cherished the jade, it was better to redeem himself for the red bean, which was a beauty and a good deed.

Young Master Wang asked Chen's mother how much money she wanted to redeem herself. Chen's mother calculated the account, saying that it took a lot of upbringing expenses to train me, and said that she would be able to earn a lot of money in the future, and if she really wanted to redeem it, she would have to pay 8,000 if she didn't want 10,000. Young Master Wang hesitated.

Seeing him hesitate, his mother hurriedly said, she fell into the dust back then, and knew the pain best, although she is doing this business now, in fact, she wishes that every daughter could get out of the sea of suffering, and there is a good result, that is her supreme merit, and at the end she said that as long as Young Master Wang is willing to redeem, take three thousand taels. said a lot of high-sounding words, and only then did Young Master Wang take three thousand taels of silver to redeem the little girl. Today, she slandered Young Master Wang like this in the court, which is clearly ill-intentioned. ”

Liang Xinming said: "You defend him like this, do you really have no selfish admiration for him?"
