Li didn't hesitate to go to bed very early last night, and got up early this morning. After breakfast, she went back to her room to dress up a little. After a cup of tea, Li Wei did not hesitate to look at himself in the bronze mirror, like a handsome scholar, very satisfied.

"Chun Tao, can you bring all the things?"

"Bring it all." Chun Tao didn't seem to be very satisfied with her scholarly outfit, "Miss, why do we have to dress like this? Last time, we went to the county office, wasn't it just a weekday dress! After all, the last time she dressed as a man didn't leave her with any good memories.

"I naturally have a reason for doing this." Li did not hesitate to threaten: "If you really don't want to wear it, stay in the house, and I'll go by myself." ”

"How's that going to work!" Chun Tao hurriedly said: "I can't wear it yet!" She held her mouth aggrievedly.

Li Wei shook his head with a light smile, "Then let's go!" ”

"Hmm."

Li did not hesitate to come to Xunhuan Pavilion as promised, and after giving some instructions to Xi's mother and Liu Rumeng, she went to the yamen together. didn't expect that there were many people rushing to the yamen to join in the fun along the way, which made Li Weixi quite surprised. When they arrived, the entrance of the yamen was already surrounded by many officials, and Li did not regret that the group finally squeezed into the court.

The atmosphere in the public hall was solemn, and the officials stood upright on both sides of the public hall without squinting; As soon as I looked up, the "mirror hanging" on the plaque of the public hall came into view; Directly below the plaque, Chen Baiyuan sat upright, and on his left hand sat the master who was in charge of recording; On his right side stood Ye Xizhi, still with a bewitching smile on his face, which was particularly out of place compared to his surroundings. After a few of them gave a simple salute to Chen Fuyin, Li didn't hesitate to look around, and it seemed that Qian Yuanzhuo and the master he brought were the only ones missing. She intends to strike preemptively, "Adult ······"

"The official didn't ask, Hugh wants to speak." Chen Fuyin blocked back Li's unregrettable words.

Li Weixi seemed to be really waiting for Qian Yuanzhuo to come before she was promoted, so she kept her mouth shut and didn't retreat aside.

Everyone waited for some more hours, and Qian Yuanzhuo was late with his master; He didn't feel the slightest guilt because of his tardiness, and when he stepped into the court, he still swaggered, looking like no one was in his eyes.

Li Weixi has already seen Qian Yuanzhuo's style, and has a certain degree of understanding of his behavior; So she focused her attention on the Xu Burao master behind Qian Yuanzhuo.

This Xu Bulao absolutely subverted Li Weixi's imagination of the professional image of the teacher! Originally, what she learned from Zhao Qingcheng yesterday about Xu Bulao had made her have no good feelings; But she thought that Xu Burao was also a literati no matter how bad he was, and he always had the temperament of a literati and ink writer more or less; But the person in front of him has mung bean eyes, garlic nose, and fat intestines; looks like a fat head, big ears, and a short figure; Coupled with a round belly, he walks one step at a time, and looks like a profiteer. It is even more difficult to discount it!

"Ye Gongzi is also here." It seems that in Qian Yuanzhuo's eyes, Ye Xizhi still has some weight.

"Brother Qian, don't be surprised." Ye Xizhi soothed: "It's just idle and have nothing to do, just have a good time." ”

Qian Yuanzhuo nodded, disapproving.

"Now that everyone has arrived, then the official will be promoted?!" Chen Fuyin said this in his mouth, but his eyes were asking Qian Yuanzhuo for instructions.

Seeing Qian Yuanzhuo nodding in agreement, Chen Fuyin cleared his throat, "Shengtang!" ”

Hearing this, the officials on both sides of the court knocked on the ground with killing threats, and shouted in unison: "Might······ Wu ······"

I saw Chen Fuyin's brows furrowed, and he knocked the desk with a startling wood in his hand, "When you see this official, why don't you kneel." ”

It turned out that the other three parties except for Xi's mother, Liu Rumeng and their maid Xiaocui did not kneel and salute. In view of Qian Yuanzhuo's identity, Governor Chen didn't dare to let him kneel, so he naturally endured it; Xu Bu Rao has the fame of lifting people, and he is also exempt from the ritual of kneeling; Only this unknown identity is still standing upright in the hall, Chen Fuyin is very dissatisfied.

Li did not hesitate to be unmoved, she pointed directly at Qian Yuanzhuo, and said, "Dare to ask your lord, why doesn't he kneel?" ”

Before Chen Fuyin could speak, Qian Yuanzhuo had already replied: "Hmph! I am the son of a privy envoy, how can I kneel down to an official from the fourth rank? ”

Qian Yuanzhuo's words made Chen Fuyin very embarrassed, "Young Master Qian, Xia Guan is now from the third grade." ”

"It's all the same! Anyway, it's not as big as my father's official position. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Qian Yuanzhuo didn't care about Chen Fuyin's face at all, although Chen Fuyin was unhappy in his heart, he was helpless.

If she is allowed to bow on her knees, I am afraid that this Chen Fuyin will not be able to stand it. Li did not hesitate to ignore the conversation between the two, and said coldly: "I also know that I have a cloud of laws: those who have official positions or fame can be exempted from kneeling when they see officials, and it is not mentioned that the heirs of high-ranking officials can also be exempted." She looked Qian Yuanzhuo up and down, "This Qian Gongzi has no official position and no fame, why can he be dismissed?" ”

Chen Fuyin was speechless when he was asked by Li Weihe, "This ······"

Li Weixi's words seemed to hit Qian Yuanzhuo's pain, and he was so angry that he jumped to his feet.

Xu Bulao pressed Qian Yuanzhuo, who was about to go crazy, and said, "We are the plaintiffs. As he spoke, he handed the paper to Chen Fuyin.

"Yes, yes, they are plaintiffs." Chen Fuyin hurriedly echoed and reached out to take the paper.

Li didn't hesitate to talk to him about these useless things, but when the words were said like this, how could she let them be reasonable, and sneered: "The adults haven't asked, how do you know that they must be the plaintiffs?" ”

"This ······" Chen Fuyin was stunned by the question again, and said for a long time: "This official is about to ask." He picked up the startled wood and patted it, "Who is in the hall?" ”

"The villain Xu Burao is the teacher of Mr. Qian."

Everyone was waiting for Qian Yuanzhuo to reply, and he was there, with his hands behind his back and a self-respecting look, as if he had no intention of speaking.

"Mr. Qian's turn." Chen Fuyin kindly reminded.

"Nonsense! Don't you know the master?! ”

Chen Fuyin was choked by Qian Yuanzhuo's words and was speechless for a long time. It was Xu Bulao who pulled Qian Yuanzhuo's sleeve, "Mr. Qian doesn't have to mind, Chen Fuyin is just going through the motions, it's just a formality." ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Go through the motions, go through the motions. Chen Fuyin cast a grateful glance at Xu Burao.

"Oh." Qian Yuanzhuo nodded clearly, and said with no one in his eyes: "Master Qian Yuanzhuo, the only son of Qian Chirui, the privy envoy of the court." ”

A bullying gentleman, an incompetent dumb official who bullies the weak and fears the hard! Li did not hesitate to take this scene into his eyes.

"The mother of the people's wife, the old bustard of the Joy Pavilion."

"The people's girl Liu is like a dream, the guest of the Joy Pavilion."

"Aren't you a girl from the Joy Pavilion? When did you become a guest again? Chen Fuyin wondered.

"Back to the adult's words, the folk girl has never sold herself in the Joy Pavilion. It's just that Xi's mother is kind-hearted and sees that the folk girl is lonely and helpless, so she takes in the folk girl, and the folk girl thinks of Xi's mother's good convenience, and from time to time performs in the Joy Pavilion to solicit business for Xi's mother. Liu Rumeng whispered to explain the reason.

"I see." Chen Fuyin nodded clearly. "Who are you?" Chen Fuyin pointed at Li Buregret.

"In the next week, Tong, on behalf of the people in the Huan Pavilion to complain." Li did not hesitate to speak bluntly.

"That ······"

"Slow down, adult!"

Chen Fuyin's words were interrupted by Xu Burao, and he frowned a little unhappily, "Why did you interrupt this official." ”

"Before the adults ask, the students have a clear question." Xu Burao's ill-intentioned gaze wandered on Li Weixi's body.

"Say."

Li didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this Xu Burao gourd, so she cast an inquiring look at Ye Xizhi. saw Ye Xizhi shaking his head, and he didn't seem to know why. Chen Fuyin is also the second monk of Zhang, and he is confused, and even Qian Yuanzhuo is at a loss.

"The so-called Zhou Tong invited by the Xunhuan Pavilion, Zhou Gongzi's teacher is a female streamer, how can he defend others in the court!" Xu Bulao looked at Li Weixi with a smug face.

The reason why Xu Bulao said it now is because he has just determined the identity of Li Weixi. As soon as he entered the court, he felt that this man named Zhou Tong was very familiar, but he didn't think about it for a while; It wasn't until Xu Bulao accidentally caught a glimpse of Chun Tao in the first row of the crowd outside the hall that he suddenly remembered the two women who were driven away by Xi's mother in the Xunhuan Pavilion that day.

"No wonder the master looks familiar, it turns out to be the nosy beauty of that day!" Qian Yuanzhuo looked like he was waiting for a good show.

After saying this, Chen Fuyin also thought about it. The last time this woman was in the palace, she spoke disrespectfully and aggressively to him, which made him very embarrassed. This is the case today, how could Chen Fuyin let go of the opportunity to teach her a lesson.

"Bold!" Chen Fuyin slapped the startled wood in his hand, "Don't kneel down yet." ”

Ye Xizhi didn't expect that Li Weixi's matter of being a woman would be recognized, and he was thinking about how to help her out of the siege.

Liu Rumeng couldn't kneel, she looked sideways at Li Weixi vigilantly. It turned out that this "Zhou Tong" was the woman who saved her in front of the Xunhuan Pavilion that day. No wonder a few days ago, when this woman came to Xunhuan Pavilion to ask her about it, she felt familiar. I don't know why the woman in front of her, who has repeatedly helped her, makes Liu Rumeng faintly uneasy.

The crowd outside the hall began to whisper, and Chun Tao was so anxious that she didn't know what to do, and she was afraid that Li Wei would not hesitate to be convicted and punished by Governor Chen.

However, Li did not regret that she was not afraid, her face was indifferent, "I am not the person involved in the case, and I have never committed a crime, why do I need to kneel?" ”

"You are a woman pretending to be a teacher, contempting the court, and you dare to say that you are not guilty?!" Chen Fuyin was angry, "Don't hurry up and kneel down for this official." ”

Li Wei regretted that he was still neither humble nor arrogant, "My lord, have you misunderstood?" What I just said was a pleading, when did I say that I was a lawyer! Our law does not prohibit a woman from suing on behalf of others. Excuse me, my lord, why did I despise the court?! She pointed at Qian Yuanzhuo and continued: "Also, I have made it clear to the adults again and again; If Mr. Qian doesn't kneel according to the law, I can be exempted from it! ”

Li Weixi knew that these remarks were not enough to completely solve the current emergency, and she was just delaying time in order to find a way to deal with it.

"You ······"

"Even if he kneels, you are not allowed to kneel!" A loud voice came from outside the hall, and the people who were judging outside the hall gave a way to the owner of the voice.
