In the capital, there are many yamen, a yamen with a head and face will circle a piece of land to build their own style, Lan Ziyi has entered a lot of yamen since entering Beijing, and he has also been accustomed to the style of these officials and gentlemen in the capital. But the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen in front of him is not so magnificent, look carefully and even feel that this yamen is short and small, although the paint has not faded, but it may not be refreshed for a long time, it looks old, even the two stone lions at the door are the same as sick cats.

After the group came to the yamen, they turned over and dismounted, Lan Ziyi looked up and down at the yamen in front of him, pursed his mouth and hissed and inhaled, carefully savoring the scene in front of him.

Tao Zhutu dismounted and walked to Lan Ziyi, and whispered:

"Young Master, why is this Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion so so... Shabby? “

Du Jing, who dismounted in front, heard the muttering of Tao Zhutu, and he replied:

"The places that are shabby are all the people's fat and people's ointment, and the other yamen are in charge of the world's important affairs, this Jingzhao Mansion is just a place for the herdsmen in the capital, as long as it can do things, there is no need for pomp."

Then Du Jing handed the horse to the servant who stepped forward, and he turned to Lan Ziyi and said:

"Wei Hou, Lord Fu Yin has been waiting inside for a long time, Wei Hou, please come in."

Lan Ziyi nodded to Du Jing and said:

"Lord Du, please lead the way."

Du Jing bowed, and then took the first step. Lan Ziyi was about to step forward to keep up, but was pulled by the peach chase tiger on the side, and the peach chase tiger said:

"Young master, in the end, we also have to fight a lawsuit, why don't we hire a lawyer?"

As soon as Tao Zhuhu finished speaking, Qiu Xiao couldn't help laughing out loud on the side, Lan Ziyi looked back and saw Qiu Xiao bending over and smiling, while Qiu Wenruo was full of ambition and confident.

Seeing Qiu Wenruo's appearance, Lan Ziyi's heart was even more steady, he pulled Tao Zhuhu and walked into the yamen, and said at the same time:

"Big brother, don't worry about it, there are two gentlemen, don't be afraid at all."

Qiu Xiaozhi, who followed Lan Ziyi into the door, said with a smile:

"My old thing is useless, but if I have Wenruo, I don't have to worry about lawsuits."

When Lan Ziyi and the others walked into the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, Du Ji was already sitting upright, high above the lobby, and the two rows of officials under the hall also beat the water and fire sticks in unison after Lan Ziyi entered the door, and read the word "mighty" in his mouth.

Lan Ziyi saw that there was a person kneeling in the hall, and the kneeling person also glanced back at Lan Ziyi, and both sides recognized each other this time, and it was Dong Xuan's son Dong Sixian who was kneeling.

Lan Ziyi turned his head and asked Qiu Xiaozhi beside him:

"Dong Xuan is a fourth-grade official, why is his son kneeling on the ground?"

Qiu Xiao leaned in front of Lan Ziyi's ear and whispered:

"As far as I know, Dong Sixian has no fame, so he should kneel, but doing so doesn't give him Lao Tzu's face, it seems that his father Dong Xuan was really excluded by Zhang Mingyue."

While speaking, the group had already stepped into the public hall, Lan Ziyi stood on the hall and Dong Sixian across the road, and after standing still, Lan Ziyi saluted Du Ji.

After the two rows of officials shouted mighty, Du Yi picked up the shocking wood and slapped the table, and then asked Lan Ziyi:

"Weihou, why did you bring so many people? Today, I am asking about the case, not talking to you about Wei Hou. ”

Without waiting for Lan Ziyi to speak, Qiu Wenruo stepped forward and said:

"The Marquis of Wei is a person with a knighthood, and he is qualified to bring people to the court before he is removed from the title, and ordinary people can ask a lawyer to defend him in court, so do I have to come alone to be punished? Lord Du wants to drive us away, so let the imperial court take away the title of Marquis of Wei first. ”

Tao Zhuhu also took a step forward at this time and said:

"Why don't you take a seat for my young master!"

Du Yi, who was sitting in the hall, grinded his teeth with hatred, he glared at Lan Ziyi and his party for a long time, and finally helplessly ordered the deputy who was standing on the side:

"Put a stool."

Lan Ziyi smiled and waited for the official to bring the stool, and then sat down comfortably, when he sat down, Lan Ziyi carefully looked at the face of Dong Sixian who was kneeling opposite, the sallow face was full of disgust and despair, presumably it was not his intention to come to this court today.

After Lan Ziyi sat down, Du Ji asked Lan Ziyi again:

"Marquis Wei, you have a title, it's okay not to kneel, the group of people behind you don't have a title, let alone fame, why don't they kneel?"

Lan Ziyi smiled:

"The person who Lord Fu Yin wants to ask today is me, and not my person, they are innocent or not, why do they kneel?"

Du Ji opened his mouth twice and couldn't find a chance to give Lan Ziyi a horse, so he had to give up, he sighed and stopped dwelling on the question of kneeling or not kneeling, and instead scolded Dong Sixian:

"Plaintiff! If you have any grievances, tell them the truth. “

Dong Sixian, who was kneeling on the ground, did not have any obvious reaction after being scolded by Du Ji, he lay on the ground weakly, as if he had lost interest in everything around him, he just replied to Du Ji mechanically:

"I want to sue Lan Ziyi for malicious coercion and extortion."

Du Ji nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and then he said to the master and the priest sitting in the hall:

"Read the paper to Wei Hou."

When the priest heard this, he held up the paper, shook his head and read it out in the hall. What the little official was thinking about was nothing more than what Dong Sixian saw about Lan Ziyi's debt collection that night, this is not the point, the focus is Dong Sixian's attitude, such a shameful thing, if Dong Xuan wanted to report to the official in the morning, Dong Xuan didn't report to the official at that time, and chose to have a personal relationship with Lan Ziyi, how can he poke the matter out again now? Qiu Xiaozhi leaned into Lan Ziyi's ear at this time and said:

"Wei Hou, Dong Sixian, this kid was forced to sue you."

Lan Ziyi nodded slightly, and replied in a low voice:

"Yes, Zhang Mingyue just wants to take the opportunity to disgust me, or to warn me."

The priest finally finished reading it for a long time, and Du Ji waited for this opportunity, he slapped the shocked wood and said to Lan Ziyi:

"Lan Ziyi, you maliciously hurt people, coerced crimes, extorted money, and have all the evidence, what else do you have to say?"

When Qiu Wenruo heard this, he stepped forward and blocked in front of Lan Ziyi, and replied to Du Yidao:

"My family guard has nothing to say, because Lord Du, the three crimes you are accused of, my family guard marquis is not involved."

Hearing this, Du Ji said angrily:

"Qiu Wenruo, you are talking nonsense with your eyes open, be careful of the board!"

Qiu Wenruo smiled and arched his hand, and then said:

"My lord, the pleadings just now have made the ins and outs of the matter clear, not to mention how true and how false what is written on this pleadings, even if what he wrote is all true, if the crime of coercion is to be established, it depends on the results of coercion, according to the pleadings, my family Weihou is just Dong Sixian's debt as an excuse, asking Dong Sixian to get something, to get something is not to ask Dong Sixian for something, in the so-called coercion process, my family Weihou did not ask for something, but just asked Dong Sixian to do something that did not produce any results, What results were not produced, nothing was demanded, and how was extortion established? How is coercion done? Master Du, there is no truth in your accusations? “

Du Ji sneered twice when he heard this, and he said:

"Qiu Wenruo, let you keep your word, but how can you reverse black and white in my Dazheng Law?"

Qiu Wenruo smiled:

"My lord thinks what I said is wrong, you can ask the priest, he is a professional."

Hearing this, Du Ji asked:

"Torturer, what kind of crime do you say this Lan Ziyi is?"

The torturer, who was now sweating profusely, replied tremblingly:

"My lord, according to my great law, Wei Hou, Wei Hou is indeed not blackmail, and coercion is not a crime because there is no result."

Du Yi was furious when he heard this, and he said:

"Then you tell me what kind of crime Lan Ziyi is?"

The priest was so frightened that he knelt down and handed it over, and when he heard it, he said in a voice that almost cried:

"According to the law of Taizheng, Wei Hou is considered an accomplice to theft, even if it is theft, it is also an attempt."
