After a few more days, it became cooler. The mountain roads, dirt roads, and official roads near the town of Yuanhe are filled with farmers, foot traders, and inexplicable pedestrians. Today, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, is the market day of Yuanhe Town. People near the town will buy and sell goods in the town on the market day in exchange for the necessary firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. When Wang Yueying was still living in Hetou Village, she often came to the town in an ox cart to catch the market, selling the crops she grew in the space or pickled vegetables herself. But now, she naturally doesn't have to get up so early to catch the market.

She got up early to go to the county office.

"Ascension!" The master with the mustache slurred hard with his not thick voice, and his voice was a little sharp, like a eunuch in a TV series, which made the onlookers laugh. Wang Yueying also smiled, thinking to herself, in the kingdom of this time and space, is there also a master of Shaoxing.

"Laugh at what you laugh at, laugh at whatever you laugh at, don't laugh anymore." The master scolded and scolded in his mouth, but the onlookers in the hall didn't buy his account much, and he still went his own way.

"Ascension, ascension !!" The master became impatient, and shouted again at the top of his voice.

"Wei ・・・・・・ Wu ・・・・・・ Wei ・・・・・・ Wu ・・・・・・" The two classes of officials knocked on the water and fire sticks together to make two mighty sounds, which were deafening, and there was no other noise in the lobby in an instant.

Soon, an official who was not tall, but neatly dressed and generous, walked out of the back hall, yes, this is Wu Rui, Wu County Order. One of the members of the Wu family of the Jiangnan clan may also be the least mixed one. He has been an official here for nearly ten years without any achievements, and it is only a small county order.

The Jiangnan Wu family is a rare clan with a big surname in Shangguo, and has lived in Jiangnan for generations. Their family's main sphere of influence is the area around the current Shangguo capital, which was still called Puzhou at that time. Decades ago, the northern land was plagued by war, the capital fell, Emperor Wai died in the chaos, and Emperor Wai's prince, prince and many concubines were killed. The founding emperor of the kingdom, that is, the father of the current emperor. At that time, he was still the uncle of Emperor Wai, the prince of Thailand, who abandoned his fiefdom and family members and fled all the way south. Misfortune and blessing rely on, and blessing and misfortune lurk. After this fleeing prince crossed the river in Jingkou, he was supported as the emperor by Wu He, who was the Taishou of Jingkou at that time, and then welcomed to Puzhou.

Wu He has the merit of supporting the establishment and was named the general of the protector of the country, the king of Pingbei, and the secretary of the book. Since then, the general will enter the phase, and the power will tilt towards the opposition. The position of the head of the Wu family was also inherited by the bloodline of Wu He at this time of his reign. The elders of the DPRK and China, as well as officials of all sizes, all looked forward to the Wu family. Prime Minister Wu Cheng of today's imperial court is Wu He's second son, Wu Yafu.

"Is the plaintiff Chen Shouli here?" Wu Xian Ling's ass just made a chair, picked up the startling wood and slapped it.

"The little ones are here."

There were many people rushing to the market on the street, and there were also many onlookers in the yamen. Chen Shouli is not tall, and Wu Xianling can't see where others are when he sits in the hall.

"Lord Wu, little Chen Shouli." Chen Shouli came to the hall.

"Where is the defendant Wang Yueying?" Wu Xianling then asked.

"The folk girl is here" A crisp voice came from the hall, and I saw a slender woman with a peugeot appearance and a magnolia tassel skirt walking out of the side of the court. A woman like Wang Yueying walks on the road, and the return rate is still very high. Although it is not as beautiful as the country and the country is overwhelmed, it is a hundred times better than those ordinary women. It's just that there were a lot of onlookers just now, and she didn't pay attention to it. Everyone's eyes were on her, as if she were a supermodel at Milan Fashion Week, only listening to the "click" of the camera under the stage. Now standing in the hall like this, Wang Yueying has attracted the attention of men, including our Wu Rui, Wu County Order, and Lord Wu.

Wu Xian Ling was determined, and he knew in his heart that he couldn't express himself so well at this moment. He cleared his throat and said, "Chen Shouli, you sued Wang Yueying for stealing your ancestral recipe, is there any evidence?" ”

Chen Shouli was stunned when he was asked like this. I thought that Wu County ordered to collect the money, and scared Wang Yueying in the hall and asked her to hand over the recipe. Unexpectedly, I asked myself for evidence, and I was not prepared enough, so I stammered: "The recipe is the ancestral tradition of the Chen family, and my mother and my wife can prove it." ”

"Of course, the words of your parents and wife are biased in favor of you, how can you prove it, is there anything else?" Wu County ordered to refute. Chen Shouli was silent for a long time, in a dilemma. thought it was going through the motions, and it seemed that this surname Wu was aimed at himself.

"Wang Yueying, what do you say?" Seeing that Chen Shouli was speechless, Wu County Ling turned to ask Wang Yueying.

"Master Hui, in fact, this so-called recipe is not a book, but a cooking method that I have recorded in my heart. Every time, I would write out the recipe silently and hand it to the chef of Piaoxiang Building, Master Tu. ”

"There's such a thing. Someone came, and asked in front of the Tu Master with Piaoxiang Building. ”

"Yes." A servant received the order. Wait for a while, and come back with Master Tu to restore your life. ・

"Are you the head chef of Piaoxiang Building, Master Tu?" Wu Xianling asked.

"Yes, sir."

"You lovely woman standing in the hall." Wu Xianling pointed at Wang Yueying and asked.

"This is our friend of Boss Cai, the partner of Piaoxiang Building, and many small dishes are paid by Yueniang." Master Tu replied one by one.

"What about the recipe?"

"At first, Yueniang would bring some dishes written on paper to me, and later she would often cook for us and demonstrate them to us, asking us to write them down or write them down by ourselves afterwards and give them to us." Master Tu replied again.

"I see, Chen Shouli, what else do you have to say?" There was silence again in the courtroom.

"What? If you have nothing to say, then the official will do it for you. After the Chen family drove Wang Yueying out of the door, she had nothing to rely on and sold the recipe to Piaoxianglou in exchange for silver taels. You saw that Piaoxianglou's business was becoming more and more prosperous with recipes, so you paid attention to the recipes, didn't you? Recruit from the truth. ”

"No, no." Chen Shouli panicked and blindly denied it.

"Quibble, I will convict you of deceiving the court officials today. Someone! Drag me out and hit thirty boards. ”

When the token came out, Chen Shouli hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, but before he kowtowed, the officials on both sides stepped forward to take him out of the court.

"Your Excellency・・・・・・ I said yes when I gave the money, my lord, ah! Oh! Oh! After a few boards, Chen Shouli cried wolf, and actually told the bribery, which made Wu County's order very difficult to come down.

"Falsely accuse this official, give me a slap." At this moment, Chen Shouli stopped shouting, only heard the crisp sound of his palm.

"Where is Wang Yueying?" Wu Xianling seemed to suddenly remember something.

"The folk girl is here." Wang Yueying stepped forward and replied.

"This official already knows that Chen Shouli falsely accused you, and now he has presided over justice for you. You don't have to worry about being harassed by him in the future. ”

"Master Xie."

"Exit ・・・・・・"
