P.S. I'm going out, so I'm going to upload it first. Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, dear ones!

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Shujie and Shuyao first put the wild fruits and firewood into the yard, and Xiao Liang and Huohuo also put them in the house (in fact, they were sent into the mahogany box), and quietly put a bucket of soaked beans and an empty bucket into the wooden box.

On the way to the county office, Shu Yao asked Shu Jie to hug him, and whispered in his ear: "Big brother, my mother said that Yang County Ling is not a good person."

Shujie was stunned, Yang County Ling is his father's sworn brother!

But since my mother explained to my sister like this, there must be a reason.

Shujie is a gifted and intelligent child, and in the past two months, he has been nourished by the aura of the treasure chest, and he is even more deaf and clear-eyed, and his mind turns quickly. I remembered that Cuizhu said that Murong Shangshu and Zhen Dafu wanted to make two fake birthday papers, which can only be done by the county government, they can be so sure, does it mean that Yang County Ling is in league with them? But how did my mother know the Tao after being sick for so long?

Alas, no matter what, my father and mother have always been the smartest people, and my mother said that if Yang Xianling is not a good person, he must not be a good person.

When he arrived at the county office, at the request of Mrs. Xu, Yang County ordered the yamen to be opened for an open trial.

Both sides told the story of what had happened.

Yang County Ling asked Xia Linyu: "You said that Xia Shujie's tofu stall uses the ancestral secret recipe of your old lady in Xiafu, what evidence is there?"

Xia Linyu was thought of really going to court before, where did he think about any evidence? "My mother has a secret recipe for making tofu handed down from my ancestors, which disappeared a long time ago, and now my nephew's family makes tofu, isn't it just stealing my mother's secret recipe?"

A big laugh broke out outside the gate of the county government, and someone shouted: "The jade pendant handed down by my great-grandfather has not been seen for a long time, it is exactly the same as the one on your body, and it must have been stolen by you." ”

"Haha----ha

"Silence! Quiet! Yang County's order knocked twice in a row, "Above the public court, it is strictly forbidden to make noise!" ”

"Xia Shujie, Mrs. Xu said that you want to prove your innocence in public, how do you prove it?"

Shujie was calm, standing there with the demeanor of Xia Linxuan, the first catcher in Yulin: "Lord Yang, there is a Zhang Ji tofu workshop on the right side of the county government, I can rent their place to let our Aunt Mei make tofu, bean brain, and soy milk in public, and after it is done, everyone can taste whether it is the taste we usually sell." Doesn't that prove that we don't have any secret recipes? It's the same as everybody. ”

The owner of Zhang Ji Tofu Shop happened to be outside, and shouted: "You don't need to rent, Brother Xia can use it casually, we can also open our eyes, I just have freshly soaked soybeans there." ”

Many colleagues who rushed to make tofu after hearing the news also shouted: "This method is good, everyone Xia Xiaoge dares to operate it in public, what is the secret recipe?" ”

Old Madam Xu squinted at Yang County's order: "The old man has already asked people to invite several celebrities in Yulin County, the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and a few families who have been ordering tofu in the Xia family, and everyone will witness it together, so as not to say who is biased towards whom."

By the way, there is also a special guest, Jin Xida, the 'golden tongue' from Beijing, who happened to eat a bowl of tofu brain and drank a cup of soy milk on our Xufu table this morning. ”

Kim Xida? The emperor personally gave the "golden tongue" well-known, which has two meanings.

First, Jin Xida has the best taste in the world, the food tasted is "never forgotten", and the second time you eat it, you can immediately tell which one made something, but it is extremely picky, and it is not a good thing, and you will never eat the second bite. In the past five years, he has been the first judge in the celebrity chef competition every year.

Second, people say that the bones are hard, but he Jin Xida has a hard tongue, and he never says that one is one, and he does not talk about any feelings. It's not really a good thing, so don't want him to "soft" his tongue against his will. Who made the family grow up with the emperor, the affection is extraordinary, and there is a gold medal in his hand to avoid death?

When did "Golden Tongue" come to Yulin Town? If you can win the favor of this Lord, tsk, what is the future?

Yang County Commander hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, what the old lady said is that when Jin Gongzi and the witnesses arrive, we will start." ”

Shu Yao was also secretly surprised, golden tongue? In her previous life, when she was in the capital, she had heard a lot of rumors related to him, and if her own tofu could be affirmed by him, the people who made trouble and framed her later would have to weigh it.

In fact, after the Xia family's tofu and soy milk became famous, Shu Yao was also quite worried that those jealous and unbalanced peers would make bad and all kinds of trouble. She had heard many examples of this before, such as eating dead people and releasing poppies banned by the imperial court.

Unexpectedly, before his peers made a move, his uncle and third uncle were in a hurry to ask for the "ancestral secret recipe".

Xia Linyu and Xia Linang were really scared at this moment, looking at the appearance of Xia Shujie and the others, it seemed that there was really no secret recipe. If it was a private trial, they could still insist that the taste of freshly made was different, not those made with secret recipes on weekdays, but now that there are so many people around, the celebrities invited by Mrs. Xu are all people who speak very seriously in this town and county. These are not counted, they even invited the "Golden Tongue", it's over, it's over, Xia Linyu has a hunch that their Xia Mansion is going to be ruined today.

Xia Linyu wiped the sweat on his forehead: "Lord Yang, we thought about it, how can my second brother say that he is also our own brother, take the secret recipe, we won't tell it, everyone is a family, isn't it?" ”

Yang Xian Ling thought of Murong Mansion's explanation, and if he wanted to find that Qingyue Bow and Xia Linyu's help, he looked at Shujie hesitantly: "Brother Jie, look, your uncle has decided not to sue, you ......"

Shu Yao sneered secretly, took Shu Jie's hand and shook his head gently, Shu Jie understood that he would not fulfill Xia Linyu's wish. And as far as Yang County's sentence and attitude are concerned, Shujie has become even more convinced that this person cannot be trusted.

Shujie replied loudly: "Lord Yang, now we are suing Xia Mansion for false accusations, so his decision to sue or not has nothing to do with this trial. ”

Old Madam Xu also snorted coldly: "Lord Yang really loves the people like a son and is magnanimous!" In this county government hall, can you still sue if you want to, and withdraw if you don't want to? ”

Yang County's back broke out in a cold sweat: "No, no, this official didn't mean that, it's just that one party has put forward different ideas, and this official wants to listen to the other party's opinion." ”

Shujie said respectfully: "Lord Xie Yang, but my father's personality is well known in this Yulin County, when he left the house, he would rather live in my grandmother's house, than borrow a copper plate like their Xia Mansion, how could he steal any of their ancestral secret recipes?" Today, we must prove the innocence of our fathers, so that our fathers' spirits in heaven will not be disturbed.

When my father passed away, no one from their Xia Mansion came to mourn, and when my stepmother passed away, they came to the door to find some silver medicinal materials, and said that we had already separated from each other, and they had nothing to do with them, and they had no responsibility to support us. Now that we are making tofu and supporting ourselves, they have come to the door again to frame us for stealing the secret recipe. My lord, if they don't prove their innocence to the public today, who knows what they will do next time they come to find our three brothers and sisters? ”

"Boom ---" everyone talked about it, and some even scolded their mothers directly, while the neighbors of Xitang Street testified one after another, and also talked about the thunderstorm that night, causing more exclamations.

"Wow, it turns out that the thunder that night came to hack them!"

"I'll just say, I've never seen such terrible thunder, someone must have been damned."

"Tut-tut, looking at the appearance of a dog, it turns out that Xia Mansion is so virtuous, no wonder it will be demoted from the Hou Ye to the common people."

"Alas, orphans and orphans, it's pitiful, that Xia Zhutou has done a lot of good things for us in Yulin County."

……

Xia Linyu's faces were all red and purple, cold sweat, famous, their Xia Mansion became famous again, and after the "public proof", this group of people at the gate of the county government will definitely spread ten, ten and hundred, and their Xia Mansion will soon be "famous for thousands of miles" again, just like when they came back from the capital in a gloomy way.

They really didn't expect Xia Shujie, a stinky boy, to be so sharp, although Xia Linxuan was hard, he still had some scruples, especially in the years when his aunt was still alive.

So for so many years, Xia Linxuan and his wife have never mentioned the matter of Xia Mansion outside, although they are estranged, they are quite polite.

But this Xia Shujie turned out everything in one go, and he didn't forgive people. At a young age, aren't you afraid that the three of them will not have the support of their clansmen in the future?

Yang County Ling also secretly sighed, Xia Shujie wants to completely break with Xia Mansion? This fifteen-year-old kid looks even tougher than Xia Linxuan! Reputation, filial piety, and family he doesn't care about?

The most terrible person is a person who has no scruples, Xia Shujie doesn't even care about his own uncle, and will he take him, "Xia Linxuan's sworn brother", in his eyes? How could they manipulate him to hand over the Qingyue Bow, or help them find Wu Zhenzi?

Yang County decided that Xia Shujie could not be allowed to be so rampant and so unscrupulous. "Shujie, after all, they are your own uncle, and I am the most filial piety ......"

"I do talk about filial piety the most, but I am also the most opposed to 'foolish filial piety', today's saint advocates 'the elders are kind, the descendants are filial', loyalty and morality are placed before filial piety, Lord Yang, am I right?" A clear voice came from outside the county yamen, and the people blocking the door consciously divided to both sides to make way for them.
