Jiangsu, Jiangning Mansion, this city that used to seem so prosperous and quiet, is still prosperous at the moment, but it is not quiet, and it can even be said that it is a little chaotic, and the scholars in the city are arguing fiercely in every place in the city. [Full text reading]

The gentry also hurried back and forth, inquiring about each other's current situation and worrying about the future, and the officials who remained for the time being were also in a state of panic, still wearing the official uniforms issued to them by the Qing Dynasty, and the common people were still timid to call the official lord when they saw it, but more and more people's eyes on these officials changed.

Now, in the Jiangning Mansion, the busiest shop is neither a rice shop nor a money shop, but the shaver and tailor shop, since the Manchu Emperor surrendered to the Liang Jiajun and the Liang Jiajun announced the restoration of the title of Huaxia in the past two months, the hairstyles of all the men in the city who dragged a pig's tail braid behind their heads have finally changed. Some people simply took the place of bald heads, while others cut off their braids and put on melon skin hats, and many more crowded into the tailor's shop, eager to wear a new dress that represents the traditional clothing of the Chinese ancestors: the Han family.

And some people followed the example of those Liang Jiajun, with small flat heads, wearing imitation two-piece suits, and cowhide shoes on their feet. But there are also people who stubbornly keep the braids at the back of their heads, wear a flag suit, and even scold those radicals in the family, cut off the braids at the back of their heads, and replace them with long robes and big sleeves, as if the glory of the Qing Dynasty has been deeply rooted in their bones, but after all, such people are only a minority, but there are many changes every day because of this kind of thing...... A crisp knock sounded at the office of the president of the court. "What's wrong?" Ye Jinshou, the president of the First Branch of the Jiangning Mansion Court, who was taking advantage of his free time and trying to fill his stomach with a bowl of rice noodles, raised his head, but saw the helpless faces of his staff.

"Okay, I know, I'll be right away." Ye Jinshou also had a somewhat helpless smile on the corner of his mouth, and after nodding at the staff, he drank up the remaining soup and rice noodles after dividing it by two, wiped his mouth, put on his work clothes, took care of his appearance in the mirror, and saw his eyes that were still a little dark, so he could only smile self-deprecatingly.

Soon, Ye Jinshou rushed to the trial hall in front, which was actually the original grain road yamen of Jiangning Mansion, but it was just a different card and the staff inside.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

At this time, Ye Jinshou had already seen that a lot of people from Jiangning Mansion had gathered outside the hall, Ye Jinshou glanced at those people, and it was obvious that they were divided into two factions, one side was braided, the other was not braided, and the mouths of both sides were not clean, and some people even had bruises on their faces. And standing in the middle was a group of soldiers of the Liang family, seeing their armbands, they should belong to the garrison patrolling in Jiangning City, it seems that they have encountered the kind of thing that happens every day.

"Be quiet, please be quiet, the judge has arrived, please send your own representatives to the plaintiff and the defendant." At this time, the bailiffs began to use that kind of paper roll horn to loudly silence the people.

At this time, both sides quieted down, pushing and pushing for a long time, and finally elected two representatives on both sides, and then squeezed out a middle-aged man who claimed to be the owner of the restaurant, and as soon as these five stood up, they knelt down towards Ye Jinshou, who was sitting behind the public case. "Knock on the blue sky."

"Get up, don't kneel, get up quickly, five of you, please be seated." The staff standing on the side sighed, quickly helped the people up, and motioned for them to sit down.

After that, another staff member brought tea to the five people, but it made the five people even more uneasy, and they finally landed their butts on the chair after a thousand thanks, but the expression was as if they were sitting on pins and needles. And the inside and outside of the hall had fallen into silence at this moment, and their eyes fell on Ye Jinshou's body.

"Okay, what the hell is going on, can you tell me?" Ye Jin Shou smiled at the four of them, and his tone was gentle.

"My lord, in this way, the Qing court has been overthrown, my Huaxia country has been restored, and it is the right time to restore my Han family's clothes, but these people insist on keeping their will for those Qing demons, and they still have the hair and clothes of the Qing demons, these people are clearly immortal to the heart of the Qing Dynasty, how can we sit idly by......" A scholar over there who had shaved his head and was wearing a Hanfu that looked like he had just put on a few days stood up, and after bowing to Ye Jinshou first, he said loudly to the person sitting opposite.

The matter is also very simple, a ticket has changed into Hanfu, and the scholars who have shaved off their Manchu braids are eating in the restaurant, and as a result, there is a group of gentry who have not shaved off their braids and are wearing long shirts and horse coats also went to the restaurant to eat, and those scholars drank some wine, and when they saw this scene, they felt unhappy, and they couldn't help but be sarcastic.

Generally speaking, everyone knows that cultural people are more vicious when they speak, and they can greet your family's direct female relatives without swearing words.

So, the gang was provoked, and the two gangs quarreled in the restaurant, which naturally provoked a lot of people who liked to watch the excitement, but I don't know which one was unintentional or deliberate, and smashed a bowl on the head of a gentry, as a result, the scuffle began, and the war spread to the entire restaurant, all those who had shaved their braids and changed their attire were naturally on one side, and those who did not shave their braids naturally formed an alliance.

In addition, the restaurant is a large restaurant in the east of the city, and there are really a lot of people eating and drinking tea in it, so when the soldiers patrolling the street received the news and arrived, the restaurant was already in a mess, and it took a lot of effort to control the situation.

Naturally, they had to compensate for the broken things, but both sides didn't do it, demanding that the other party should be compensated, and they almost fought again, and the scholars who had shaved off their braids here also wanted the soldiers to help them, and shaved off the braids of those gentry, saying that they wanted to return the world to a bright and prosperous world.

In the end, there was really no result, and the company commander who led the team simply threw all these guys to the court, anyway, whether it was a civil official or a criminal official, it was right to hand them over to the court for disposal.

After all, the official sitting in the hall to try the case was the officials of the Great Qing State not a few months ago, but they belonged to the new officials who overthrew the Qing political axe, and they were very hateful to the Qing political axe, although there are still officials appointed by the Qing State to deal with some government affairs, but everyone knows very well that those people are just staying temporarily, and after those new officials come, these officials appointed by the Great Qing State will definitely get out.

But these people are still wearing Qing style clothes and have Manchu style braids, so they are naturally worried that this official will not like him and others, and when the time comes, it will definitely be himself and others who will suffer.

After Ye Jinshou patiently listened to the statements of the two groups of people and the restaurant owner with a sad face, his brows furrowed slightly. "How much?"

"The tables, benches, and dishes add up to about twenty-five taels of silver, and as for those dishes, they don't count, after all, they are all customers in my store." This restaurant owner is worthy of being an old man in this business, and such an answer makes those people think that this old guy is quite good at being a man.

Ye Jinshou smiled and gently tapped his fingers on the table: "That's it, Boss Sun, the compensation of the restaurant will be compensated by them collectively, do you think it's okay?" ”

"Yes, you can do whatever you say, my lord." Boss Sun was naturally overjoyed, and thanked him even on the side. However, as soon as these words came out, the two groups of people below stopped doing it, and they accused each other one after another, XXX smashed the most dishes, he should compensate, XX took the bench to beat people, he should compensate.

As a result, the courthouse was again noisy like a vegetable market, and although the bailiffs below prevented the clash between the radicals on both sides, they could not suppress the clamor of those people.

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable......

The crisp and loud sound of the shocking wood suddenly exploded from the hall, one after another, and instantly shook the eardrums of those noisy people, between two breaths, the originally chaotic crowd turned their heads in shock, but saw that Ye Jinshou seemed to be puzzled, and continued to smash the public case with the shocking wood, every crisp sound made everyone's hearts jump and startled.

The originally hot brain was like a pot of cold water poured on people, and they all woke up. Even those patrolmen and bailiffs looked at Ye Jinshou in amazement, as if they didn't understand why Dean Ye, who looked amiable in Pingyue, had become so irritable and wild.

Syllable! …… There were few aftersounds, around the lobby, after this sound, Ye Jinshou threw away the shocking wood, and swept towards the crowd with cold eyes, at this moment, all the people saw the anger in Ye Jinshou's eyes, and they all lowered their heads a little weakly, or avoided his sight.

Silence returned to the courtroom, Ye Jinshou walked down, walked to the door of the hall, and looked at those who were silent, as if he wanted to see through the hearts of these people. The atmosphere seemed even more depressing, but no one was willing to say anything at this moment, it seemed that they were all curious in their hearts, what did this Dean Ye want to do?

"You ...... How can you do this?! Ye Jinshou gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice, although his voice was not high, it made the people present a little puzzled.

A pair of eyes full of doubts all fell on Ye Jinshou's body.
