However, after Xu Yan returned to Santai Mountain by boat again, he was surprised to learn that Zhou Dafu had agreed to identify Zhou Youde in the court.

I don't know if Xu Wei and Shen Mingchen are too hard or Zhou Dafu's psychological quality is too poor, so he can't parry it so quickly.

However, Zhou Dafu has one request, that is, Xu Yan wants to ensure the safety of his wife and children. This is the bottom line.

Of course Xu Yan agreed.

In his opinion, even if Zhou Youde jumps off the wall in a hurry, he won't have time to do it so quickly. Xu Yan was confident that he would bring Zhou Youde down in one fell swoop and not give him time to react.

Next is the main event - reporting to the official.

According to Xu Yan's previous plan, the Qiantang County Ya and Renhe County Ya will definitely not be able to go.

If you want to go, go to the Hangzhou Mansion.

As for the governor's yamen, he didn't think about it.

Although he has a good relationship with Zhu Kun, he is now the dignified governor of Fujian and Zhejiang after all, and Xu Yan came to the door for this trivial matter, and he was too inappropriate to favor people.

Based on the current public opinion situation, as long as Zhou Dafu is against the water, then Zhou Youde will undoubtedly lose.

Xu Yan took a deep breath and only felt refreshed.

After casting the net for so long, it's finally time to close the net.

……

……

Hangzhou Mansion.

The prefect Zheng Youhe's expression was solemn, looking at the pleadings on the desk, and he only felt bored.

The Xu family sued the Zhou family for stealing manuscripts and setting fire to the bookstore, and was charged with threats and intimidation.

What gave Zheng Youhe a headache was not the case itself.

It's the background of these two.

Needless to say, Xu Yan. His grandfather is a famous imperial businessman in Hangzhou, and he pays a lot of filial piety to the Hangzhou government every year. Xu Yan has a deep friendship with the Governor. It is said that the governor Gao Sheng also has something to do with Xu Yan.

As for the Zhou family, it is not simple. The daughter of Zhou Youde, the head of the Zhou family, is the favorite concubine of today's political envoy Yao Wenzhi Yao.

With this relationship, the Zhou family is naturally powerful and blessed in Hangzhou City.

The Zhou family has done a lot of bullying and dominating the market, but it can't be done any time.

No way, who called people have a hard background.

Fortunately, the two businessmen with hard backgrounds have somehow become entangled together, and irreconcilable contradictions have arisen.

On the surface, it was a dispute between businessmen, but in fact it involved two adults.

Zheng Youhe, the political envoy of Zhejiang and the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, could not afford to offend.

Headache, real headache!

As the largest magistrate in Hangzhou, Zheng Youhe can't push this case.

Now that the case has been received, it is only a matter of time before the court opens.

That's it. Since the left and right sides also have to be tried, it is better to try it later than to try it early, and there is no point in delaying it.

So, Zheng Youhe signed the card ticket and ordered Zhou Youde to pass the court to wait for trial!

……

……

Little Penglai.

Zhou Youde is in a good mood.

In his opinion, the Xu family accepted the silver ticket and the people, which means that they have accepted the sincerity of the Zhou family.

After all, it's not good for both of them to get things going.

Although some silver and prestige have been lost, as long as the foundation of the Zhou family does not fall, there will always be a comeback one day.

For now, we just need to keep a low profile for a while and avoid the limelight.

"It's a big deal, sir!"

Zhou Liu, the second steward of the Zhou family, ran to the pavilion in a panic and reported to Zhou Youde: "The government has come and said that he wants to invite you to the court to wait for trial." ”

Zhou Youde frowned and said, "Official? Which government? ”

"It's the messenger of the Hangzhou government who came."

Zhou Liuwei said resignedly.

Zhou Youde sneered and said, "Then the old man will go and have a look." ”

Her daughter is the concubine of the political envoy of Zhejiang, so Zhejiang, especially Hangzhou officialdom, will give the Zhou family some face.

Did this Zheng Governor eat the bear's heart and leopard gall? Dare to mention him in court!

said that Zhou Youde rushed out in a hurry, and sneered at the government officials.

"I don't know what kind of law Zhou has violated, but I bothered a few people to make a special trip."

The head officer originally wanted to be polite to him, but seeing him so weird, he couldn't help but harden a little.

"What did Zhou Yuanwai do, didn't he have points in his heart? We have been ordered by the eldest master to bring you over to the church, and we also ask Zhou Yuanwai not to make it difficult for the brothers. ”

Zhou Youde saw that his attitude was so tough, and his heart was so unusual.

"Do you have a ticket?"

The first officer did not hesitate, and took out the card ticket to show Zhou Youde.

Zhou Youde's heart was cold when he saw the cards.

The card ticket is the official document of the official messenger, and the card ticket proves that the government has officially accepted the case. The person who receives the card must pass the hall, otherwise it will be punished according to the resistance.

Zhou Youde naturally didn't want to make things stiff, so he squeezed out a smile and said, "Dare to ask the eldest brother of the errand officer, why did the eldest master call Zhou Mou?" ”

"Oh, Zhou Yuanwai really looks up to us people. We're just running errands for the big man, how do we know what the big man thinks? ”

Zhou Youde was very unhappy by him, but he was helpless.

"In this way, Zhou will go with a few people."

"Please!"

……

……

Hangzhou Mansion Second Hall.

There were a lot of things involved, and Zheng Youhe decided not to hold the trial in public, but to hold the trial in the second court.

In this way, even if some unexpected situations occur, it will not reach the point of being out of control.

There are Xu Wei, the shopkeeper of the Xu family bookstore, and Zhou Dafu, the steward of the Zhou family. As long as Zhou Youde, the head of the Zhou family, arrives, he can open a trial.

At this time, seeing two errand officers walking with Zhou Youde, Zheng Youhe cheered up and patted the shocked wooden road: "Ascend to the hall!" ”

"Might~......"

The officials shouted hard, and the floor was banging with water and fire sticks.

Except for Xu Wei, who has a talent and fame and can see the official without kneeling, the rest have to kneel and be tried.

Zhou Youde is naturally no exception.

After everything was ready, Governor Zheng cleared his throat and said, "The person under the hall is Zhou Youde?" ”

In fact, he recognized Zhou Youde, after all, the Zhou family gave away a lot of filial piety silver every year.

However, this must be done in accordance with the trial process.

Zhou Youde was also very clear, and he didn't care about it but said cooperatively: "Lord Qiyu, Xiaomin is Zhou Youde." ”

Governor Zheng nodded and said, "Xu Wei, the shopkeeper of the Xu family, sued you for instructing his subordinates to steal the Xu family's manuscripts, but is there such a thing?" ”

Zhou Youde actually understood the moment he saw Xu Wei.

Well, I collected the money and reported it to the official, which is really ruthless.

"Lord Qiqi, there is no such thing. The Xu family's blood spewed people and insulted my innocence. Please also ask the boss to see everything and make decisions for the grass people! ”

Zhou Youde took the lead and kowtowed to Zheng Youhe.

Governor Zheng wanted to calm things down, but when he saw Zhou Youde say this, he began to say to him: "Xu Wei, but what is the misunderstanding?" ”

Seeing this, Xu Wei hurriedly replied to Governor Zheng's mansion: "My lord, the evidence in this matter is conclusive, and Zhou Dafu, the steward of the Zhou family, can testify." He will know the details as soon as the adults ask him. ”
