Lin Xiaojue came to Lu Hong as soon as it was after noon, of course, for the dowry, Lu Hong was inconvenient to open the court to try the case, so he asked the official to invite people to the back hall.

The back hall of Dali Temple is similar to the courtyard of ordinary people's houses, and there are small three-room wings on both sides of the three main rooms.

Lu Hong's office rest on weekdays is in the east room of the main house.

Lin Xiaojue entered the room and first bowed: "The folk girl has seen Lord Lu. ”

Lu Hong's black face showed a rare compliment: "I made Miss Zhou wait for a long time." "If you don't try someone's case, and you hurt someone else to come to the yamen twice in three days, can you not be harmonious?

However, Lin Xiaojue knew that the reason why Lu Hong was so polite to her was more because of the words she gave him.

Although she wrote the words, she did not say the words.

The words are a famous quote of a reformer in later generations, and among the people she has seen, there is no one who is not in awe of this sentence, and it must be because of this sentence that Lu Hong did not let her kneel.

Lin Xiaojue said very gently: "I didn't wait for a long time, I know that the adults have something big, so I am holding the time." ”

Why did her niece of a small official family know that he had something big? The triage of the three divisions will not be yelling everywhere.

Thinking about her connections in the Ministry of Household Works, Lu Hong's mouth opened slightly, and she didn't know what to say at this time.

Fortunately, I remembered it again, since it was in the back hall, I could invite her to sit down.

Lin Xiaojue saluted and thanked him and sat down at the bottom of Lu Hong.

Then he said, "I guess your lord knows what I mean." ”

Lu Hong hurriedly said: "Miss Rong will give this official two more days, and there are still some things that are not very clear, after all, they are related to things more than ten years ago." ”

It is related to the things of more than ten years ago, but the human and physical evidence are all people now.

This procrastination is too distracting.

Lin Xiaojue did not pierce it. He smiled and said, "My lord still doesn't understand my intention." ”

Lu Hong was stunned for a moment, Lin Xiaojue said: "The people's daughter is not suing, she is here to get the stubs of the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry." What is borrowed, there is borrowing and some returning. ”

Lu Hong was even more surprised: "Miss, what's wrong?" In his heart, he hurriedly changed his determined tone: "Don't worry." This official will not protect favoritism or any violation of law and discipline. ”

His current behavior is itself a violation of law and discipline.

Lin Xiaojue said: "Don't tell me, I know it's embarrassing for adults." ”

Lu Hong thought that her connections in the household department and the Ministry of Industry had not yet surfaced, in case she didn't tell her in a fit of anger, the people on both sides would jump out to find trouble, if it was a big force, he might be able to do it.

has been careful for more than ten years, if it weren't for Zheng Qipeng, he would never open up to anyone, and now he can't ruin his reputation as a blue sky.

He hurriedly asked, "Miss, do you believe that this official will deal with it impartially?" ”

Lin Xiaojue listened to what he meant, and his fellow villagers didn't seem to want to take care of it. Smiled slightly, noncommittal.

Lu Hong immediately said: "Otherwise, let's open the court now, and the official will definitely give Miss justice." As he spoke, he called a small official, ready to ask him to inform the relevant people.

But as soon as the little official came in, Lin Xiaojue said: "My lord, I really won't tell me, so let's let him lead my people to get my evidence back." ”

Lu Hong frowned when he saw that she was serious.

This seems to be a lawsuit with a chance of winning, why did she suddenly not sue it?

Lin Xiaojue looked at Lu Hong's disbelief and smiled: "Early in the morning, the right eyelid jumps." I think it's money to go in. ”

Does she mean that Lin Shize will obediently return the dowry to her? So don't tell him, otherwise why would you mention money to him?

Lu Hong cautiously reminded: "Miss, the left eye jumps wealth, and the right eye jumps ......"

That's woe.

Lin Xiaojue smiled and waved his hand: "I don't count it that way." Male left, female right. ”

Can the "......" thing be reversed according to gender?

Lu Hong is really insightful.

Besides, you can't really think that you want to get rich just by jumping your eyelids, but he can't, so he will fulfill her. Letting the little official take her people to collect evidence can be regarded as compensation for her unfair trial.

There were two people over there who went to collect the evidence.

Lu Hong and Lin Xiaojue in the house had nothing to say. Unconsciously plunged into an awkward silence.

Suddenly, Lu Hong asked Lin Xiaojue: "Does Miss know a book called Deng Suichuan?" ”

Lin Xiaojue nodded: "I've seen it." ”

That Deng Sui passed on Lin Xiaojue was written with the nickname Haichao, so she didn't admit that she was the author. Lu Hong couldn't force him to admit it.

Lu Hong sighed with emotion: "The book is good or good, but there are too few, the official thought that after the author wrote one, he would write another, she said at the end that there would be continuity, but the official would go to Mao Ji every day to see if there were any new books to be sent." ”

Lin Xiaojue said: "The bookseller's name is Mao Ji? ”

This sentence is tantamount to admitting that she wrote the book.

Lu Hong showed a smile on his face and said, "Exactly, he still talks about the young lady who delivered the book every day, saying that the book was sold for a lot of silver, and the young lady hasn't taken it yet." ”

"He's honest, and he remembers to give the young lady the money."

"Doing business, so that the young lady will send him a new book in the future."

Lin Xiaojue nodded: "That's right, it's not in a hurry." ”

This is what Lu Hong understands, and the trader must be credited.

As for not being in a hurry, I have an eyebrow after thinking about it, and I don't know if I am not in a hurry to get a new book, or I am not in a hurry to get the silver.

If it's the former, she's not in a hurry, but people are in a hurry.

Lu Hong was just about to say a few more words about the book, when a servant came from outside the door to report: "My lord, Lord Lin is here." ”

Could it be Lin Shize?

Lu Hong glanced at Lin Xiaojue in some mood, and the woman on the side looked at the official who came to the simultaneous interpretation with a faint smile, and couldn't guess what mood it was.

Lu Hong asked, "But Lord Lin Shize?" ”

The official said, "Exactly." Listening to Lord Lin's meaning, I want you to close the case. ”

He came to him to settle the case, unless it was to pay the dowry.

Lu Hong looked at the young lady in red again, the smile on her face expanded, obviously who was the person from outside, and she had guessed what she was doing.

Lu Hong: "......" You look at other people's eyelids, that's what they call eyelids, you can predict the future with a jump.

Lin Shize really came to pay the dowry. Because of Lord Chen's interference, he didn't dare not pay it back. Although Shao Shi still tried every means to block it, he once again had the upper hand. Still.

Of course, he couldn't return the dowry to the Zhou Mansion, it was too shameless, so he planned to quietly discuss with Lu Hong, let the chief of Dali Temple return it, and by the way, the case was closed, which was considered private.

Lu Hong invited Lin Shize to the east for a while, and when Lin Shize saw that Lin Xiaojue was also there, he was busy explaining his intention and paying the dowry. Dismissal.

Lu Hong had already obtained Lin Xiaojue's withdrawal of the lawsuit, so as soon as Lin Shize proposed it, he agreed.

Lin Shize also nodded when he saw that his daughter, who could get a seat in front of the highest governor of Dali Temple, was really relieved.

He handed over the real contracts of Zhou's shops to Lin Xiaojue, and said, "Originally, I asked the adults to hand them over to you, but since you are here, my father will return them to you personally." He also said, "The father does not want to occupy your mother's property, but because you are too young, I am afraid that you will not be able to manage the inheritance." So I've been keeping it for you, and now since you have to take it back yourself, I'll give it to you, but you have to know. Daddy's heart is still very longing for you. ”

Lin Xiaojue took the contract and looked at the title deeds one by one, and didn't say anything superfluous, as if he didn't care whether what Lin Shize said was true or not.

This made Lin Shize very embarrassed to stand aside. But what can I do? If he says such things now, the devil doesn't believe them.

Lu Hong still remembers Lin Shize's hardness when he first came to the court. It's a real headache now. He said to Lin Shize: "There is no problem with the inquest contract of the young lady, this case is considered private, and Lord Lin does not have to come to Dali Temple again." ”

In fact, it is to drive people away in disguise.

Lin Shize arched his hand and said: "The lower officials still have to get back the evidence presented." ”

Since this case is private, and someone wants to take back the evidence or something, I can get it back because of the law.

Lu Hong thought of the contracts presented by Lin Shize, but they were all fake, or fake made by Zheng Qipeng, and holding them in anyone's hands was equivalent to pinching Zheng Qipeng's pigtails.

This Lin Shize is so shameless, what if he uses it against Zheng Qipeng one day? He couldn't let Lin Shize take it back.

He said: "Those evidences that the official wants to archive will be sealed in the future, and Lord Lin may not be able to take them back." ”

Lin Shize frowned and argued, and then Lin Xiaojue suddenly stood up: "I'm optimistic, the real estate is all there, and the silver is missing." ”

Then before the two of them could react, they saluted Lu Hong: "Thank you for your hospitality, the little girl has taken her leave." ”

Lu Hong stood up and returned the gift.

Lin Xiaojue turned around and went out.

Lin Shize thought about it and immediately chased after him: "What do you mean when you say that there is still silver?" ”

Lin Xiaojue slowed down slightly and turned back and said, "My lord, have you forgotten the 50,000 taels of silver?" Ious. She made a gesture and smiled like a flower on her face: "I'll go back and wait for the adults to return it." ”

Then he waved his hand and said goodbye to the two.

Lin Shize and Lu Hong both stood in place.

Lin Shize sensed it and asked Lu Hong: "My lord, did you hear it just now?" She means that these are not enough now? ”

Lu Hong nodded.

I heard it.

Listen really well.

"Since it's an IOU written by Lord Lin himself, then you can consider it."

For the time being, this case is a dowry case, and if I know if the IOU is not repaid, the next case will be a case of asking for arrears.

Lu Hong returned to the east with a cold face, leaving Lin Shize alone in the hall of the back hall of Dali Temple.

Is he going to come up with another sum of money?

Where did he get so much money!

Besides, Lu Hong, after the Lin family's father and daughter left, he immediately called the official who was in charge of the file: "Go and bring me all the physical evidence in this case." ”

Feeling uneasy again, he stood up and said, "Forget it, I'll go with you." ”

Because this case is a recent case, the file has not yet been sealed, and it is in the room where Lu Hong approved the case in the back hall.

The two walked in and flipped through the ......

"Why is it gone?"

Lu Hong was anxious: "How could you not see it?" Where did you put it? ”

The little official hurriedly said: "My lord, this record and the small evidence are all put together, and they won't be placed randomly, how can it be gone?" ”

yes, how can things that don't be littered disappear.

Lu Hong didn't know why a faint smile suddenly appeared in front of him, and he said, "Didn't Miss Zhou's people come to get the evidence?" Did you take the wrong thing when you came to her? ”

The little official swore and promised: "The little one personally found it for him, and he will never make a mistake, and those of Lord Lin will be put aside." ”

But it won't be wrong or gone.

The two of them went to look for other files, but in the end they didn't find it, as if the household document stamped with the seal of the Ministry of Works was gone. (To be continued.) )
