"Knock knock knock......" The drums outside the prefect's yamen suddenly sounded.

The prefect, who was pinching a piece of Daimo in the backyard and frolicking with Xinna's aunt, suddenly heard the sound of the drum, and his heart was shocked, his hand shook, and suddenly, the Dai Mei who was being painted was also painted crookedly.

is a picturesque beauty, and he is drawn as an ugly monster. Tu Zhifu secretly screamed in his heart, and threw the expensive piece of new Daimo in his hand to the ground.

The concubine hurriedly picked up the mirror and looked at it, and suddenly became unhappy: "Master! How did you paint the slave and the maid an ugly bastard! No, no, no, you have to wash and repaint! ”

She also just entered the door, and she has been very spoiled recently, so she dared to behave like this in front of Tu Zhifu.

Tu Zhifu himself doesn't want to go to the front, how boring is the lawsuit? Listening to those ignorant villagers fighting back and forth one chicken and one duck is very boring. He even met a peasant woman who came to complain, saying that she suspected that her neighbor had stolen her eggs and ate strange things.

Now don't listen to this drum and panic, as if there is really some earth-shattering grievance, and when the trial really starts, I don't know what trivial things it is!

"Owner! Landlord! Hurry up, big business is coming! Big business is coming! Tu Zhifu took a new ink from the concubine's dressing box again, and was about to help the concubine paint her eyebrows again, but he didn't expect that the criminal master he hired ran over with a shouting as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.

"What business? How did Mr. Jean lose his temper? Tu Zhifu still maintained his scholarly demeanor, and asked slowly.

Master Xingming trotted all the way over, and when he arrived at Governor Tu's side, his breath was a little uneven. His eyes dug hard at the high chest of Tu Governor's concubine a few times, and then he evened out his breath and said to Tu Governor's Mansion: "Boss, do you know who is beating the drums outside now?" ”

Governor Tu has only been in Runan City for three months, and he is not very familiar with the people in Runan City, but those big families are already very familiar.

However, those big families have their own family rules, and it is rare for them to get into trouble with the yamen. The small people come much more often, but there is no oil and water. squeezed it dry, and all the family property was only a few or two people or a dozen taels of silver, which was really boring.

This has always made him hate it.

Now hearing what the master said, Tu Zhifu suddenly became interested, and waved his hand perfunctorily to the concubine who had just drawn one eyebrow on the side, and was waiting for him to draw another eyebrow, and asked her to go back first.

The concubine refused to obey. She is a newcomer, and the master is interested in her, so he will inevitably spoil her a little too much.

She didn't know the severity herself, so she was a little pampered. Now when he saw that the eyebrows that the master said he wanted to paint had not been painted, he was going to drive her away, so he was not happy.

Snorted a few times, she still refused to leave, wanting to wait for them to settle the matter, and then ask the master to help her paint her eyebrows.

"Don't get out of here! So blind! Unexpectedly, the old man, who usually regarded her coquettishness as a flirtatious interest, suddenly burst out, slapped her, and threw her to the ground.

The concubine was completely defenseless, and suddenly fell and broke her head and bled out. She got up in a panic, didn't dare to say anything more, and ran away crying.

"I really don't have any eyesight." Governor Tu snorted coldly, and then changed his smiling face to his criminal master, "Who did the master say just now that person was playing the drum?" But the people of the four families are not? ”

"It's not the four." Master Xingming shook his head, looking at the young master's face, which instantly became disappointed, he sighed in his heart.

The master's heart is too big, and he wants to become a fat man in one bite. Fourth, what kind of family is that, how can it be possible to let the children of the family come to the yamen to fight a lawsuit?

"But don't be disappointed, although it's not the four majors, but the oil and water are not light. It's the Gu family in the west of the city......" he said quickly.

"Gu family?" Governor Tu frowned. Obviously, he didn't remember for a while which Gu family it was.

"It's the one who said the head of the family died a few days ago, the Gu family's three-room ......," the master reminded him.

"Oooh oh...... Is it the Gu family whose body suddenly disappeared in the mourning hall? Tu Zhifu finally remembered this gossip, he patted his thigh and shouted, "It's his house!" But does his family have a lot of oil and water? ”

"Master, don't underestimate this Gu family. Although the head of the Gu family who died until this time has not been an official for two or three generations, but before, their Gu family was brilliant for several generations, and there were more than a dozen jinshi, Jingguan or something, and there were a few. Not to mention the officials who were released, there were even governors back then. Master introduced the origin of the Gu family in detail.

Obviously, he has done very solid research on these people in Runan.

Of course, the purpose of research is to make better money, not to do better work.

"Master, although people like them have fallen on the surface, in fact, the foundation inside is still enough for them to lose for several lifetimes. Not to mention the two or three generations of Gu family children, although they have no talent for reading, they don't have the talent to lose. Most of the family business is still left there! ”

The master's words immediately made Tu Zhifu happy.

Great, it's been a few months since I arrived in Runan City, is my little vault really about to open?

Strictly speaking, although he has not taken over a big case with a lot of oil and water, in the past few months, he has not been really idle, and he has really made a lot of money.

There are a lot of bad rules for parents and officials in the local government. For example, all the stores on East Street, no matter whose property it is, every store, has a 10% dry share, which is obtained by the parents and officials.

It's just that this money is only available when he is an official. As soon as he leaves office, this income will naturally go to his successor.

There are so many shops on East Street, and the business is very prosperous, and one percent of the dry shares, this number is really not small. However, this kind of income that can be obtained without doing anything is naturally too unchallenging for an "ambitious" official like Tu Zhifu.

How can it be compared to the satisfaction brought by eating the red silver that was squeezed out little by little in the way of eating the defendant and using a board in the process of fighting a lawsuit?

That kind of money is called money when you get it!

The few silver tickets presented by the merchant every month are fluttering, and there is really no sense of accomplishment at all!

If the Gu family is really as rich as the master said...... Then this time, he had to squeeze them all away!

also let those country people know that it is very expensive to let the eldest master sit on it and fight a lawsuit! Next time you lose a chicken or an egg or something, don't bother people anymore!
