"Naturally, it's my father-in-law!"

"Your father-in-law?" Hua Jingjing still didn't react.

Yuan's and Pei Yue couldn't help laughing, Hua Jingjing then understood, daring to love Li Tao is to let his father invite Old Master Cheng, they have been friends for decades, and they are used to getting along together, Daddy is coming to Chang'an, and Old Master Cheng will come together nine times out of ten.

"Atao, you're dead, ignore you!" Hua Jingjing, who was fooled, blushed and said hatefully.

"Little master, I'm going to invite Zhang Wei and Jiulang!" Pei Yue said.

Li Tao nodded, no longer teasing Hua Jingjing, but looked at Yuan's family: "Ah Niang, just now King Xiang sent an invitation and asked our family to go to the palace for a banquet in three days, saying that it was to celebrate the ceremony of the lord of Yuzhen County, what do you think?" ”

At the age of fifteen, a woman should comb her hair, tie it in a bun, and put on a piece of jewelry called a flute. After adding the flute, it means that she has reached adulthood, so when a woman reaches adulthood, she is called Lu Nian, also known as and Lu.

Yuan said: "The Yuzhen ceremony is a big event, and it should be celebrated, and besides, King Xiang is an elder, so we should also visit." ”

Hua Jingjing said pitifully on the side: "Ah Niang, I and Suona also want to go!" ”

Yuan Shi smiled: "Didn't you hear King Xiang say in the invitation card to let our family go together?" Don't you think you're not a family? ”

Hua Jingjing blushed and muttered in a low voice, "Who shouldn't be a family?" ”

Yuan Shi smiled: "Okay, Dead Nizi, don't be embarrassed, hurry up and think about what congratulatory gifts we should prepare for Yuzhen!" ”

At this moment, Fan Changfeng and Zhang Wei walked into the house.

"I've seen Mrs. Li!" Fan Changfeng and Zhang Wei respectfully saluted the Yuan family.

"Kuro. I heard that you came to Chang'an a few days ago, and I didn't see you come to sit in the house! Yuan smiled.

Fan Changfeng hurriedly complained: "Don't blame Ah Tao, I originally wanted to meet Mrs. Li as soon as I arrived in Chang'an." But he made a big mess for me, and I was busy with my feet not touching the ground these two days, and I finally found time to visit Mrs. Li today! ”

Yuan looked at his son dissatisfied: "Tao'er, although Jiulang is your good brother, you can't call him like this, look at Jiulang is tired!" ”

Li Tao said disappreciably: "Ah Niang, he is so fat." You can lose weight if you're tired. Besides, he can't manage the mess except him? Or. Let Jingjing take care of it! ”

Li Tao's words successfully led Hua Jingjing's anger to Fan Changfeng, Hua Jingjing gritted her teeth and said: "Dead fatty, if you are tired, rest, or I will ......"

Fan Changfeng was about to go crazy when he saw Hua Jingjing. Immediately wilted: "I'm just kidding." Not tired, not tired! ”

Li Tao hurriedly interrupted: "Okay, Jiulang, don't laugh, what else do you have to do today besides seeing my aunt, just say it!" ”

"Ah Tao, what you said last time, I've already looked for you to help me check it!"

"What's the matter?" Li Tao was confused.

"Didn't you say let me feature a few helpers? Have you forgotten? Fan Changfeng was anxious when he heard this.

"Oh, that's what happened!" Li Tao remembered: "You can just watch and do this." I'm not going! ”

"Tao, I just didn't count it in my heart. Just help me! Fan Changfeng begged.

Yuan Shi also said on the side: "Tao'er, Jiulang has just arrived, you can go and have a look!" ”

Li Tao nodded and said, "Okay then!" ”

"Lantian King, I also have something here!" Zhang Wei interjected on the side.

Li Tao said in surprise: "Zhang Wei, you haven't taken up your post in the Criminal Department yet, what will happen?" ”

Zhang Wei sighed and said: "Originally, I could leave this matter to the next office, but I felt that it was inappropriate, so I wanted to hear the opinion of King Lantian!" ”

Li Tao nodded and said, "You say!" ”

"Everyone says that there are six evils in Chang'an, and now although the six evils are removed, in fact, there is a seventh evil, which is no less than the other six evils. The most troublesome thing is that these people are really difficult to deal with......"

……

The seventh evil mentioned by Zhang Wei refers to the harm of the stick.

When officials handle cases, they are easily confused when faced with ordinary people who do not understand the law, but they are often unable to get off the stage and cannot cope with the lawsuits and advocates who are proficient in the law. Even if there is a loophole in the trial and the case is overturned, it will lead to the loss of official positions and dismissal. Therefore, what officials hate the most are lawyers and lawyers.

There is also a difference between a lawyer and a lawyer. Those who only provide legal consultation to the parties, draft pleadings or other legal documents on their behalf, and do not show up or go to the court in person, still belong to the category of teaching, and are generally called litigators. However, if they often instigate the parties to fight lawsuits, collude with the scribes and officials in the government, and intimidate the parties to cheat money; In particular, those who often take the names of the parties to fight lawsuits on their behalf, and as a result, they are scolded and spanked by the government, and they will be treated as lawsuits.

The reason why Zhang Wei called these people the seventh evil is because whenever they have a dispute, they sow right and wrong, either adding a cause of murder or pulling a thief for a felony, and killing people with a plan, a pen, or a tongue is ten times more harmful than a robber killing people with sticks, knives and axes.

Some litigants set up their homes next to Jingzhaoyin's mansion, wandering inside and outside the yamen every day, and when they saw an opportunity, they intervened in the litigants. Even when the government office issued an interrogation document, he would go to the bribe server and hide the summons document at home, making it impossible for the parties or witnesses to appear in court, and the case was endlessly implicated.

……

Zhang Wei said helplessly: "I want to get rid of this evil before leaving office, but I haven't come up with a proper way after thinking about it for a long time, so I have to come to King Lantian for help!" ”

"You're right, this matter is indeed a bit tricky, let me think about it, I'll go to you after thinking about it!" Li Tao should admit.

……

"Ah Tao, it's not the shopkeeper of this pawnshop, I've been observing him for several days, I think he's good!" Fan Changfeng pointed to the door of a house and faced Li Taodao.

Li Tao and Pei Yue and Li Bai behind him looked at it, this was a pawnshop called "Yihe".

After Li Bai lost the last time he gambled with Li Tao, he was a lot more settled, and while learning art with Pei Yue, he and Pei Yue Zheng'er started Li Tao's attendant for 800, and as long as he went out, he was inseparable from Li Tao.

At this time, it was nearly noon, and it was raining again, and the number of customers in the shop was decreasing. Li Tao nodded and was about to go in, but he noticed that a man in his forties was hesitating behind the crowd, and his behavior was extremely strange, so he couldn't help but stop and pay attention to himself.

After a while, the man was still lingering. Seeing this, Li Tao stepped forward to greet him.

The man was flattered and said: "In the next Cheng Guoyu, he is an old buddy of 'Jiuwei Zhai' under the Dongxian Bridge, who has been working with the old club for more than 20 years, and he doesn't think that the old club passed away last year. Under the distressed old signboard of "Jiuwei Zhai", he promised the young owner the full price, and wanted to sell the store by himself. The young owner was anxious and was only allowed to meet the deadline of the next three days. I have no choice but to save a small amount of money, and there is still a gap of 8,000 yuan in multi-party fundraising......" (to be continued......)
