Chapter 047: Turning the Tide (I)
Early the next morning, Li Wencai called Xiaoliu over, got himself new clothes, pedaled black cloth boots, and looked in front of the mirror for half an hour, and Li Wencai was ready to go out.
Xiao Liu was surprised that the young master was dressed so solemnly today, could it be that the young master was looking for a concubine outside, is this going on a date. So Xiao Liu asked puzzledly: "Young master, do you have to dress like this when you go out to run business?" ”
"Of course, you haven't seen those people who sold houses, cars, and insurance before, all wearing white shirts, black suits, and ties, what am I, oh yes, are there white bandanas or something." Li Wencai suddenly thought of one thing, in his previous life, when he went to the court, those barristers all got a white curly wig on their heads to prove their identity, and he was going to do a big thing to help the building today, so he must dress up grandly, so as to highlight his outstanding temperament.
"Go, get me a white turban." Li Wencai commanded very strictly.
Xiao Liu went to look for a headscarf, and after a while, he ran back and handed Li Wencai a big white towel and said, "Young master, let's just have this rag for wiping the table here, the small one has been washed several times, you see if it's suitable." ”
"Wipe the rag on the table, I'll it." Li Wencai screamed with the rag.
"Forget it, that's it, I don't say who knows it's a rag." Li Wencai wrapped the towel around his head helplessly, and walked towards the county government with a square step very proudly.
At the same time, on a loess avenue not far from Taichang County, a carriage is moving forward slowly, and the two people sitting in the car are Liu Yuanwai and his daughter Liu Yuer. The whole person looks like a critically ill patient with advanced cancer. And Liu Yu'er, who was beside him, looked worried, but with a momentum of not admitting defeat, she held her father's arm and said, "Dad, don't worry too much, I believe this matter will definitely pass." ”
"How can I pass, such a large amount of grain is not a trivial matter, then the shopkeeper Mo sued us for deceiving them, according to the Ming law, I will go to prison, even if I don't go to prison, this time I will definitely compensate, and now the industry that my Liu family has operated for many years is completely finished."
Speaking of which, Liu Yuanwai snorted and cried like an old cow, which made Liu Yuer next to him can't help but shed tears, blaming himself for being bad, he used to be willful, he didn't know how thick the sky was, and he made people beat the son of Jiafu, and now he regrets it when he thinks about it, he is a daughter after all, and he has been favored by his father since he was a child, and as a result, he has caused such a catastrophe, and now the only thing Liu Yuer believes in is Li Wencai, that hanger, idle, greedy and lustful big bastard. This person seems to be worthless, why should I be so stupid to believe him.
Thinking of Li Wencai's various bad deeds and the evil smile on his face, Liu Yu'er felt uneasy, this person looked really unreliable, should he pin the rise and fall of the Liu family on him.
"Dad, do you know, in fact, I have been to Jiafu before, and I happened to meet Li Wencai, he knew that we were in trouble, and he was very enthusiastic to lend a hand, saying that this matter would definitely be solved." Liu Yuer cautiously tested her father's intentions, her father had always opposed her relationship with Li Wencai before, and she didn't know how her father would react when he heard it.
Liu Yuanwai estimated that he felt that his future was dark, and said in a voiceless voice: "Why are you so stupid, believe his nonsense, he is a little family member in Jiafu, Master Jia can press him down with a fart, let's resign ourselves to fate." ”
"But Dad, he promised me that he would be able to do it." Liu Yuer said with the momentum of a broken cauldron.
"He promises, hmph, what guarantee does he take." Speaking of this, Liu Yuanwai suddenly shook his spirits, took his daughter's hand and said: "I think he is very cunning, we withdrew from the Li family's marriage contract before, how could he be so kind to help us, don't say that he is a kind person, my father doesn't believe it." ”
Liu Yuer pouted and looked unhappy, Li Wencai was so unsightly in her father's eyes, but what her father said was not bad, so Liu Yuer said hesitantly: "Actually, my daughter made a promise to him that if he can save the Liu family, I will make a promise." ”
"Nonsense, how can you be so casual." Liu Yuan's old face was flushed.
Liu Yu'er lowered her head and whispered: "Why does Dad always look at people with his previous eyes, the former Li Gongzi was a genius, but he became a fool, and now Li Gongzi is not stupid, you say that he is cunning and cunning, don't you think that the current Li Gongzi is much better than those prodigal children, although people love to take advantage of a little bit and play a little smart, but he is still an enterprising person, now everyone has their own stores in the county, and the business is very prosperous, and he also said that it will take less than a year to be on the Forbes list in the county." ”
"Dad has only heard of the title of the gold list, and he has not heard of any bullshit Forbes list, this kid's nonsense will deceive you as a simple girl, I look at his appearance of a thief and a thief, eighty percent of them are not well-intentioned." Liu Yuan said with a snort.
Anyway, Li Wencai has undoubtedly become the only person Liu Yuer can rely on now, although he is a flat-headed ordinary person, without great power, and without the money that rivals the rich country, but Liu Yuer is out of the way, and this time I believe him once.
Taichang County Yamen, three poles on the sun, the prefect Liu Ruhai came to the Yamen hall wearing the official mansion, and the officers on both sides stood neatly in two rows, a solemn image. Liu Ruhai straightened his black gauze hat, his old face was obviously displeased, today is the trial of the case of the grain store being deceived, and the shopkeeper Mo of the grain store should have come to the lobby at this time, why is there no one at this hour.
Just when Liu Ruhai and the others were impatient, the official at the door came in to report that the defendant Liu Yuanwai and his daughter Liu Yuer had arrived.
Liu Ruhai's eyes widened, the plaintiff didn't come, but the defendant came first, what is this called, so he ordered the father and daughter of the Liu family to come in, only to see Liu Yuanwai being helped by Liu Yuer and walking in tremblingly. Liu Yuanwai and Liu Yuer knelt on the ground and said, "I have seen the magistrate, and the little man Liu Cai has seen the adult." ”
After Liu Yuanwai finished speaking, he squinted his eyes and looked to the side, how could there be a figure of the Mo shopkeeper, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, such an important matter, the Mo shopkeeper did not come, according to the regulations, if the plaintiff does not arrive, it will be regarded as giving up his own complaint, so that Liu Yuanwai can walk around the county like a dog, and he didn't do anything, and returned the same way.
Liu Yuanwai prayed silently, it is best not to eat something dirty yesterday, and now it is like a toilet, or overindulgence, and now he is lying on the bed with weak energy, or he was hit by a carriage on the way to and had a concussion, God opened his eyes.
The more Liu Yuanwai thought about it, the more exciting it became, and the old face became more and more excited. And at this moment, a shout came from behind: "Master, the plaintiff Mo shopkeeper has arrived." ”
"Hmph, he still knows that according to the Ming law, those who are late during the trial will be subject to major ten boards." Liu Ruhai snorted and shouted loudly.
"Slow down, slow down, the top ten boards of the shopkeeper Mo will wait for him to come in person, the villain is Li Wencai, the lawyer of the shopkeeper Mo." Li Wencai was originally dragged like the second master, deliberately moving forward slowly, just to make a shining debut, it is conceivable that even the prefect has to wait for himself, what a great thing, who knows that he will be hit by ten boards just when he arrives at the door, which is more wronged than Dou E, so Li Wencai lost his color and ran in at a speed of 100 meters.
In the lobby, I saw a black shadow rushing in, and a big white towel on the top of the black shadow's head was particularly coquettish in the wind.
"Don't blame the adult, the villain Li Wencai is the lawyer who has been fully entrusted by the shopkeeper Mo, and the case will be handed over to the villain to try for him, this is the power of attorney of the shopkeeper Mo, and the fingerprints have been pressed, please take a look." Li Wencai lowered his eyebrows and took out the power of attorney from his arms and asked the official to hand it over.
Li Wencai's appearance like an alien was indeed stunned, what does it mean to have a white towel wrapped around his head, it looks extremely funny.
Liu Ruhai glanced at Li Wencai with disdain, this kid is really out of tune to do something else, what is the matter with getting a towel on top of such a serious occasion, do you think that this is going to work in the field.
Although Liu Ruhai didn't know what Li Wencai's lawyer was, what the power of attorney was. Still took a look at the things handed over by Li Wencai, and after reading it once, Liu Ruhai frowned and asked: "Is the shopkeeper really strained, ran to the thatched house eighteen times in one night?" ”
"It's absolutely true, my lord, Shopkeeper Mo drank a lot of wine yesterday, and I don't know what I ate, I couldn't stand up in a mess, so I was entrusted with a lawsuit as a last resort."
Liu Yu'er, who was kneeling next to her, couldn't help but sneer when she heard Li Wencai's words, knowing that he had a way, but she didn't expect him to use such a despicable method.
Liu Yuanwai didn't know why Li Wencai came here, and he didn't know what Li Wencai was going to do, judging from his previous three times and twice embarrassing the Li family, Li Wencai was not good, before he was poor because the Li family was poor, and the young master of the Li family was a fool, so he forced the Li family to withdraw from the marriage without hesitation.
Just when the scene became very weird, Liu Ruhai snapped and shouted: "Ascend to the hall." ”
"Wei ...... Wu ......"
The yatang became solemn with the shouts of the officials, and only Li Wencai's eyes were rolling, not knowing what to do next.
