Chapter Ninety-Seven: Little Boy
But when she does the right thing, it's not that she looks down on women, but in ancient costumes, men's clothes are more neat and convenient. But on the day of the court mediation, she wore women's clothes. A light blue jacket is refreshing and calming, and a light green pleated skirt that symbolizes peace is worn underneath. Combed a generous and simple ingot bun, and inserted a treasure flower hairpin inlaid with gold and rubies.
Fighting a lawsuit is not only reflected in the court, but also outside the court. And her first lesson when she entered law school was what to wear to court. Don't think it's a minutiae, but it's a key part of making a first impression.
And the first impression is very important.
Women's clothing is worn because women have always been synonymous with gentleness and obedience, making hostile people feel less threatening. But there is also a knowledge of what to wear and how to wear it. In this case, she could not dress too plainly so that the other party would think that she was intending to be poor. That way, it will have the opposite effect. But don't dress too flashy and cause the other party to be disgusted. They will say, what's the matter? Show off your wealth.
She didn't blame those bitter masters, the death of someone in the family was still in an extremely tragic way, and the relatives were naturally very sensitive, and of course she would be especially careful to pay attention. In the minds of ancient people, one who died was to go to hell, and he had to suffer sins for a long time before he could be reincarnated.
So she chose to be rich and dignified, and would never be dazzling or overly attractive. In view of the fact that the age cannot be too young, the old-fashioned ingot bun will come in handy, otherwise people will say: Find a little girl to deal with us, the sincerity is not enough. Although, she is already a famous female teacher in the Tang Dynasty.
It's just because Bai Jingyuan dotes on her, and her clothes and accessories are high-end goods that can't be seen on the market, so she has to buy them from ready-to-wear shops, shoes and hat shops, and jewelry stores, and change them according to her size. You know, it is also a faux pas to dress inappropriately.
Court mediation is not in court. It's too majestic there. It's hard to let go of each other's defenses and communicate. Therefore, the mediation office chose the first room behind Dali Temple to entertain guests, which is large enough, sunny and warm. There is also a compartment on each side, which communicates with the main room, and there is a small door for entering and exiting, which is very convenient for both sides to have a place to study countermeasures when resting.
Chun Tu arrived an hour before the appointed time and hid in the compartment belonging to the defendant. Peek out through the screen.
At the beginning of half an hour, the bitter lords also arrived. There are a total of 15 small merchants. Each has its own representatives. However, most of them are orphans and widows, as well as a pair of old people, plus the weak and pitiful young Wu Fei.
Chun Tu immediately felt frustrated.
Originally, she thought that there were many people on the other side. This party is herself, she is still a girl's family, and she has the upper hand in terms of numbers and momentum, and no matter how sad and angry the other party is, it is not easy to oppose emotions. But look at the pitiful image of the fifteen families, the clouds are miserable. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Fa" seems to have no courage to live, and she seems to be slackluster and not pay enough attention to the few people on her side.
"Xiaofeng. I went to secretly find Master Kang and formally applied to him, asking for my second uncle to be brought from the Criminal Department immediately. He negotiated on behalf of the Bai family. She hurriedly ordered, "The prison of the Criminal Department is very close to here, and you can walk back and forth in a column of incense." Just go! ”
"Yes." Xiao Feng swooped and disappeared.
Half a pillar of incense time passed. Xiaofeng arrived with Bai Shilin, but the escorted officer did not follow up. It can be seen that Kang Zhengyuan's official warrant was issued quickly, and from a private point of view, the ward was passed in advance, so it was convenient for the people in the criminal department.
Looking at Bai Shilin again, Chun Tu almost applauded, this outfit is really suitable. Dressed in prison uniforms, his hair neatly tied, but he did not wear a crown. You must know that in ancient times, when people with status and status were outside, it was very embarrassing not to wear a crown. Coupled with his haggard and pale complexion and thin figure in the past few days, it seems as if he has been punished.
In fact, he is indeed punishing himself.
"Second uncle, no matter how rude or excited the other party is, please don't say a word later. As long as the attitude is mild, with the pain of his son and the deep sympathy for the bitter master. Everything, I speak for you. ”
"Don't worry, I don't have anything to say. I really hate Yuxiu, and I really sympathize with the bitter master. Bai Shilin said with a flat tone and a face.
Well, even if she's a villain in vain.
Chun Tu Yu shrugged secretly, opened the door of the cubicle, and made a gesture of invitation to Bai Shilin.
Bai Shilin took a deep breath and walked into the main mediation room, and Chun Tuyu took Xiaofeng and Guo'er, and followed closely with his head down.
She hid behind Bai Shilin, only heard a slight commotion, and then heard an errand officer say, "Master Qingkang of Dali Temple has arrived." ”
Over there, Kurala fell to his knees.
Here, Chun Tu and the two girls also gave a big gift. It's just that Bai Shilin's official position is still there, and he only stands and lowers his head slightly. In addition to these people, there were two messengers guarding the door, a clerk.
"Excuse me." Kang Zhengyuan's warm voice sounded, "Even if the two sides sit down and talk, let's both sit down." Although the official is in charge of the overall situation, he is only an assistant, and he also asks the two sides to be considerate of each other with the greatest sincerity and can negotiate a good result. ”
Both sides said yes and sat down one after another.
But Chun Tu didn't, just stood behind Bai Shilin. In ancient times, etiquette was strict, and there were elders, unless they were given to sit, how could there be a reason to sit side by side? And Xiaofeng and Guo'er stood farther away, looking at their noses and noses, and their noses and mouths, very well-behaved.
Chun Tu Yu only felt that the murderous gaze was swishing from the opposite side Bai Shilin, but she was also affected several times.
"According to the procedure, it is the plaintiff who makes the statement first." Kang Zhengyuan faced the sufferers and said gently, "You can send someone to explain the cause and effect of the whole thing. ”
He is not handsome in appearance, but he is extremely gentle, and when he is sincere, his eyes seem to have a kind of stability, which is very convincing. Looking at him again, although he was wearing an official uniform at this time, his expression was gentle, and he did not have the majesty of asking questions, so he added the word "more" to his convincing.
As a result, those bitter masters were worried about the protection of officials and officials, but at this time they have calmed down.
"I'll tell you." Fifteen people, a total of two rows of twenty or so seats, a teenager got up to reply. It was Wu Fei.
It stands to reason that no matter what, it won't be a child's turn. But if you look at the others, they are either women or even younger children, and there are two old people who look very old, but the little boy has become the pillar.
"Wu Fei, a grass man, is fourteen years old this year." Said the teenager who had not yet changed his voice.
I'm fourteen years old. It doesn't look well developed, it looks like it's only twelve or three.
"Caomin's father originally owned a grocery store in Beishi, and although the family was not rich, he did not have to worry about food and clothing." The young man Wu Fei said, his face was a little sad and angry, and he pointed to the others, "The heads of these families also do business in Beishi. The shop is not big, but it is also beautiful and happy, and the family has surplus food. ”
Chang'an has three cities. South City, West City, North City.
Nanshi is the most prosperous, known as one hundred and twenty lines, more than 3,000. There are more than 400 stores, and the goods are bribed. To the southwest of Nanshi are Xiushanfang, Duochefang, Wine Shop, and Persian Hu Temple. And the West Market. It is known as the gold market and is a place where money is gathered. There is only North City, which is relatively civilian. There are no big businessmen who do business here.
But Bai Yuxiu said well before, find small merchants, not large merchants, to meddle in the shipping business. is afraid that the big business officials will poke this matter up. So keep a low profile and let everyone fool the past. That's it.
"Then later, why did it come to this point that people died?" Kang Zhengyuan interjected at the right time, lest Wu Fei be sad and angry, and the topic would deviate. If you let Wu Fei and the other sufferers be swayed by emotions. Mediation can't be done today.
"It's all because of his son!" Wu Fei pointed at Bai Shilin and said angrily.
He was of civilian origin. The children of the small rich family will not recognize the members of the court. But that day, there was an accident outside the Anguo Mansion, and Bai Shilin accompanied Bai Jingyuan to show his face, so the family members of these bitter masters recognized it. That day, fortunately Bai Jingyuan handled the matter quickly, otherwise these orphans and widows, and the elderly would cry for the corpses of the old people to cry, and the scene would definitely get out of control.
Now that I think about it, I am a little scared.
"The eldest prince of the Bai family called a Hu man to take charge of affairs and asked us to invest in shipping merchant ships, saying that it was a million profits. My father was hesitant, after all, shipping is too risky and profitable, but it may also lose all his money. However, the Hu man in charge of affairs threatened my father, and if he did not participate in the shares, the business would not be able to continue. My father didn't believe that, but after that, every day, strongmen came to my shop to make trouble, and the business could not be done, and he caused a lot of trouble. Then there were people from the yamen who came to the door twice in three days, looking for faults everywhere, so that other merchants did not dare to deal with my family. After that, the Hu people lured him with heavy profits, and my father had no choice but to agree for the sake of his livelihood. ”
"How much does your father buy?"
"My shop can earn less than 100 taels a year, but it costs 1,000 taels to buy shares." Wu Fei's eyes were red, "That Hu Ren introduced a strongman who specializes in borrowing money from people, my father arrived at the house, shop, took the family's savings, and borrowed five hundred taels, which can be regarded as a piece of paper to buy shares." Which Cheng thought, and finally turned into waste paper. The strong man came to the door every day to ask for debts, and he sold my two sisters, making my mother so angry that she vomited blood. My father really had no choice but to go to the Guogong Mansion to seek justice! The strongman he spoke of was actually a ruffian who went into exile and made usury. Datang's statement is relatively simple, that is, strongman.
"Is that what happened to you?" Before the crowd was excited, Kang Zhengyuan's gentle voice sounded again, extinguishing the anger and resentment provoked by these words.
"Yes, we're all the same." Everyone said.
Kang Zhengyuan turned his head again and said to Bai Shilin, "Lord Bai, do you have any arguments?" ”
Bai Shilin coughed, and Chun Tu Yu took over, "Master Kang, and the plaintiffs. Today's mediation is to say their own reasoning, and in the end, whether it is right or wrong, our Bai family will give you an explanation. ”
She paused, waited for the other party to discuss a little, and then said, "But the words must be clear, reasonable, and clear." That little boy, what you just said, but is it true? ”
"Of course!" Wu Fei was suspicious, and his face turned red with anger.
"But in my ears, how can it be full of loopholes?" Chun Tu Yu stepped forward.
