"I always felt like something was missing from my life. ”

On the last day of March in the south of the Yangtze River, the spring rain fell silently on the Huayuan Pavilion, softly like the soft waves of lovers looking at each other. Under the pavilion, a man and a woman lay on two extremely comfortable chairs and talked.

Haitang glanced at Fan Xian, shook his head and said, "Your life can be called complete, what are your shortcomings?"

Fan Xian pondered the past of this life, but it was indeed said that he was high-spirited, reckless, asking for money and money, power, and people, others can enjoy themselves, and others can't enjoy themselves, but I don't know why, he is the boss's dissatisfaction, how a person's life should be spent, he thinks to himself is clear, but if he really lives like this, the unknown desire in his heart is getting heavier and heavier.

Regardless of the illusory things of the ideal humanities, he said with a bitter face: "There was an emperor in the past, when he was old and confused, he looked back on the past and said that he had ten great martial arts, and he could be called a perfect old man...... Of course, this emperor was also a fool when he was young, but he was an emperor, much more arrogant than me, but I didn't want to be a fool, and I didn't think that there was really everything in the world. ”

"Do you want to be the emperor?" Haitang smiled and asked the topic that everyone who followed Fan Xian, even a henchman like Wang Qinian, did not dare to ask.

Haitang felt that Fan Xian was really a wonderful person, and when he heard himself from Northern Qi ask such a rebellious question, he didn't even cover it up at all. Instead, he fell into contemplation very directly, if this style was seen by outsiders, he would definitely think that Fan Xian had already given birth to a disobedient heart.

"It's too tiring to be an emperor. Fan Xian said with a headache: "The emperor of your family, the emperor of my family, seems to be comfortable, but it is exhausting and exhausting, which is really not interesting." ”

Haitang smiled slightly, and said: "I think you are not much easier to be this Qincha than to be the emperor." ”

Fan Xian smiled bitterly and said: "When the emperor wants to see ten thousand people die in front of him without trembling, this. I really can't do it. ”

Haitang said slightly: "Haven't you always thought to yourself in front of me?"

"Kill a dozen people, kill a hundred people, I can do it. Fan Xian said seriously: "If you really want to swim in the sea of blood, I don't know if I will be so ruthless at that time." ”

"The so-called quantitative change causes qualitative change, I have told you before. ”

He waved his hand, not wanting to continue the boring topic any longer, and lay down in his chair and listened carefully to the faint sound of the spring rain moistening the earth.

The pavilion gradually fell silent.

........................

After a while, an official of the Supervision Yuan wore a lotus robe. Silently appeared at the entrance to the back garden of Hua Yuan, and the rain soaked his official uniform. Let him ooze a cold smell all over his body, it is Deng Ziyue who has just come from Kyoto.

Haitang smiled and said, "It seems that you have to continue to be busy again, and continue to plan to kill fewer people." After saying this, the girl's family did not wait for Fan Xian to reply. Naturally, he put his two hands into his big pocket, dragged his steps, shook his waist, and carried the village girl out of the small pavilion.

Fan Xian smiled and watched the back of Begonia leaving the ground, only to see that in the light rain, she shook away gently. The rain wet the hair on her sideburns, it seems that this girl did not carry the true qi of Tianyi, the so-called close to nature, naturally, just the feet with cloth shoes. But he was not stained by the stagnant water on the ground, and it seems that he still did some manipulation.

Deng Ziyue saw Begonia leave. Only then did he enter the pavilion silently and said: "Just like yesterday, today the hall is still entangled in those Qinglu provisions, although Song Shiren has sharp teeth and has not fallen behind in the scene, but there is no progress in essence, as long as Suzhou Mansion holds Qinglu and Xia Qifei has a will in hand, it is impossible to win this lawsuit." ”

Fan Xian nodded, indicating that he understood, and then fell into deep thought.

Today is the last day of March, and the Ming family's property case, which caused a sensation in Jiangnan, has been carried out on the fourth day. After the storm of the first day, the trial of the case in the next few days came to an impasse, although this was Fan Xian's expectation, but every day to listen to the subordinate officials report, Fan Xian was also a little impatient.

On the first day of the opening of the hall, Song Shiren used the suicide note very skillfully to determine that Xia Qifei was the descendant of the Ming family, and the news immediately spread from Suzhou Mansion to the south of the Yangtze River, and now everyone knows that the seventh young master of the Ming family is alive again, and is fighting with the Ming family for family property.

It's just that...... Qinglu is established in accordance with the spirit of the scriptures, and the natural inheritance of the eldest son has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is also clearly written in the law, and the suicide note seems to have played its historical role, and it is difficult to play a great role in Xia Qifei's wishes.

If Xia Qifei wants to regain the Ming family's huge property, it is necessary to overturn the rules that people have followed for thousands of years. And this rule is really powerful and cannot be overturned by one person, not only Fan Xian is not good, but I am afraid that even the Emperor Qingguo is jealous, if this case breaks the natural inheritance of the eldest son, the impact will be too great......

Fan Xian frowned, and suddenly thought of a very strange thing, if the influence of the Ming family's property lawsuit continued to expand, so that it led to a great debate on the emancipation of the mind, then the natural status of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the palace?

He gasped, this plan was drawn up by Yan Bingyun, and at the same time, it was approved by Chen Pingping, that scheming old cripple would not be unaware of the follow-up impact of this matter, could it be ...... The old cripple got the emperor's secret instructions, and this began to shake the public opinion atmosphere of the prince's natural inheritance?

The affairs of the Jiangnan Ming family are very big, but if it affects Kyoto, the matter will become even bigger, so that Fan Xian does not want to see this situation at all. Although because of his mother's relationship, it is impossible for Fan Xian to watch the crown prince succeed to the throne and become the queen mother who is bent on killing him, but in the current situation, directly provoking the prince may prompt the prince to give up his previous suspicions and become one with the eldest princess and the second prince - such a result. Fan Xian didn't want to see it for the time being.

Fan Xian fell into silence, his original explanation to Song Shiren was to drag this lawsuit down as much as possible, and fight this case vigorously, and the greater the impact, the better, but now he found out that behind this matter there are some thoughts of the old cripple.

He trusts Chen Pingping, but ...... Chen Pingping seems to have been based on some reason to protect him, and many things have not been pointed out to him. And Fan Xian is a person who is very willing to learn to understand the situation and control the situation.

"It seems. After the affairs of the Ming family have temporarily stopped, I really want to go to Wuzhou. He sighed, feeling more and more that his father had arranged for him to go to Wuzhou to meet his father-in-law, which was such a wise judgment, and it seemed that his father had long known that he would have some kind of doubts about the situation between the DPRK and China, and now he was far away from Kyoto and really helped him solve the problem face to face. There is only that Xiangye.

Deng Ziyue couldn't guess Fan Xian's real worries, but he could also see it. Lord Tisi had some different thoughts about the lawsuit over the Ming family's property, frowned and asked: "Do you want Song Shiren to settle the lawsuit?" Anyway, Xia Qifei has now been confirmed as the seventh son of the Ming family, and in a few days, the Supervision Yuan will come forward and let him worship his ancestors and return to his ancestors, according to the Qing law. The Ming family always had to give him some shares, and although those shares were not very remarkable, they also achieved the adult's previous goal and allowed him to successfully enter the Ming family. ”

Fan Xian listened to Deng Ziyue's analysis, and felt a little comforted that he could have a cronie by his side. It felt really good, but he didn't answer his question, but asked carefully: "Let Xia Qifei be arranged everywhere...... Oh, now it should be called Ming Qingcheng, let Ming Qingcheng meet with the fourth child of the Ming family. How's this going?"

Since Xia Qifei wanted to pierce the throat of the Ming family like a thorn, of course he had to collude with some dissidents within the Ming family. Fan Xian doesn't know much about the filthy deeds of the wealthy families, but in the previous life, I don't know how many times I watched the TV series of Hong Kong TVB.

Deng Ziyue replied: "It's already connected, let Xia Qifei meet with the fourth child of the Ming family at the beginning of next month." ”

Fan Xian nodded, and then began to talk about the previous question, lightly biting his itchy inner lip, and said calmly: "Still let Song Shiren continue to fight, and keep this lawsuit fighting......!" Even if you can't win the battle, you can't lose! Put pressure on the Suzhou government to prevent them from forcibly closing the case, and fight until the gentry and common people in the ground all start to think about that problem!"

Deng Ziyue raised his head and said in a slight stunned voice, "My lord, what's the problem?"

Fan Xian realized that he had missed his mouth, smiled, and after thinking for a while, he didn't intend to hide it from the cronie in front of him, and said: "Let everyone in the world start to think about whether it is the eldest son who should inherit the family property by nature." ”

Deng Ziyue, now as the chief officer of the Qi Nian group, knows everything about Fan Xian very clearly, listening to Lord Tisi's words, after a little pondering, he tasted the taste, was shocked, and hugged his fists to dissuade him: "My lord, I can't help it...... If you let the court suspect the lord...... Heart, that's not going to end well. ”

Fan Xian lowered his eyes slightly, and said: "Ziyue, you seem to have forgotten the identity of the official, the official's surname is Fan, don't worry too much, as for the suspicion of me...... I'm afraid that the nobles in the palace will suspect that I, a gentleman, have exceeded my duty. ”

He had already thought about it, anyway, sooner or later he was going to confront the East Palace, and at this time, he stabbed the other party according to Chen Pingping's intentions...... Anyway, with his current position of power, as long as it is not a rebellion, no one can do anything to him. What's more, even if some people will think that he is creating this kind of public opinion for his own future, more people should think that Fan Xian is making arrangements for the third prince.

"Don't tell the dean about this. Fan Xian ordered: "It's just a trivial matter." ”

Deng Ziyue couldn't hide his fear at all, and thought with a wry smile, is it just a trivial matter that the propaganda offensive has officially begun?

Fan Xian didn't know what he thought, and suddenly laughed: "Song Shiren is just a lawyer, is it the fulcrum that leverages the earth?" Maybe I think this matter is complicated, and the debate in court has nothing to do with the old rules of the world. ”

Deng Ziyue didn't understand the words earth, but he also guessed the general meaning, and responded with a wry smile: "That Song Shiren met Chen Bochang, it can really be said that he will meet a good material, and the two sides are splashing sparks, but they are not just detouring in Qinglu...... If the content of their arguments in court really spreads, I am afraid that it will really make people think more about that issue. ”

Fan Xian became interested: "Oh? Then I have to go and see." You go and shout that His Royal Highness still has a big treasure, and the whole family will go to Suzhou Mansion to see the excitement for a while. ”

Deng Ziyue smiled bitterly and accepted the order.

Under the drizzle, the three all-black carriages left Huayuan and drove slowly to the street closest to the Suzhou Mansion.

Although it is the closest food street to the Suzhou Mansion, it is still a little far away, sitting on the third floor of the Suzhou branch of the Xinfeng Pavilion, Fan Xian leans on the railing. Looking at the direction of Suzhou Mansion through layers of rain curtains, he said angrily: "I'm not clairvoyant, how can I see the excitement?"

Deng Ziyue sent someone to book a building before, and at this time he was arranging the customs defense, and when he heard Lord Tisi's reprimand, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Lord Tisi, this is already the latest ...... Although it is a family trip to see the excitement, it is not good for the three carriages to drive to Suzhou Mansion. It alarmed the government and made the people dumbfounded. It's really not possible. ”

Fan Xian sighed and said: "I knew this was the case, just eat Yang Jimei's chef at home, why bother to come out in the rain." ”

As he was talking, someone behind him pulled the corner of his clothes, and when he looked back, it was the cute treasure. I couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Dabao, what's wrong?"

Dabao grinned and said, "Xiaoxian...... This...... Home is also ...... There is a pick-up bag. ”

Dabao pointed to the top of the table with thick fingers, and there was a single big white bread in the steaming drawer, which was lively. The inside is full of fresh fragrance.

Fan Xian sighed, sat next to Dabao, separated the hot bun with chopsticks, took a spoon and scooped the oil soup in the bun into Dabao's bowl, and said with a smile: "This is also the New Wind Pavilion." It's just a semicolon in Suzhou. ”

The shopkeeper of the Xinfeng Pavilion, who had been waiting on the side, hurriedly said attentively: "Yes, Young Master Lin. Although the south of the river is far away, the taste is no different from Kyoto, so you can try it. ”

Dabao muttered a few words inarticulately, and then began to attack the bun in front of him, leaving the shopkeeper cold.

Fan Xian was a little curious, and asked, "Shopkeeper, how can you call these three words Young Master Lin?"

The shopkeeper laughed dryly twice, and said flatteringly: "Where is this, Lord Tisi? In Kyoto, you often take Young Master Lin to Xinfeng Pavilion for dinner, this is a small shop with a lot of ground, every time the old shopkeeper mentions this, he is extremely proud, and he admires inexplicably, although the small one is often in Suzhou, but he also knows your relationship with our Xinfeng Pavilion, where does the small one dare not wait without care?"

Fan Xian is in charge of a place in Kyoto, and the closest to a yamen is the Xinfeng Pavilion, so he often takes Dabao to eat his family's Jietang buns. At that time, the world was in style, but whenever the powerful people ate, they had to put on a big show and hold a banquet at any time, and there were really not many people like Fan Xian who were so interested in taking the buns and fried noodles. Therefore, although the Xinfeng Pavilion tastes extremely beautiful, because of the homely style, even if it has opened three branches in Qingguo, it is also famous, but the business has always been ordinary.

It wasn't until later that Fan Xian and Lin Dabao were often received, and the Fresh Wind Pavilion gradually improved its grade in Kyoto, and I don't know how many students and scholars were attracted, so that the old shopkeeper of the Fresh Wind Pavilion couldn't help but be happy.

The shopkeeper of the Suzhou branch naturally knew that Fan Xian was a distinguished guest in his own place, of course, the sycophants were like a tide, and he was extra careful to spread some fishy seasonings, and Fan Xian was very comfortable to shoot, and for a while, even the depression of not seeing the scene in Suzhou Mansion disappeared by half.

........................

Fan Xian was eating noodles, Dabao was gnawing on buns, but His Royal Highness was eating a bowl of rice balls with a steadiness that was very inconsistent with his age, and Sisi led a few little girls to drink two bowls of porridge, and then stood under the eaves, watching the rain falling from the sky, stretching out the water out of the eaves, laughing and happy, so lively.

Fan Xian has never been very careful, so these girls are very lively, listening to the laughter behind him, his mood also improved, waved his hand to summon Deng Ziyue, and said: "Suzhou Mansion should have begun, you send someone to listen, it's best to copy some and take a look." ”

Deng Ziyue nodded and went to arrange manpower.

Fan Xian waved his hand again and asked several tiger guards to go to eat next to him, and then he turned back to continue the work of the bowl of noodles, which naturally inevitably grabbed a piece of meat filling from the Dabaodi plate again and ate it. Dabao is still as noisy as usual, and the big man expresses a small grudge.

Begonia doesn't know where to go, at this time, in the Xinfeng Pavilion, there are Fan Xian's subordinates, subordinates, and relatives, he is very relaxed and happy to enjoy the rain, picking up Bai Shengsheng's noodles, and putting all the thoughts in his heart away.

Finding that Dabao had finished eating, Fan Xian Wenyan asked if he wanted more, Dabao shook his head, and Fan Xian took out the handkerchief from his arms. Very carefully wiped off the oil and water on the side of Dabao's mouth.

The third prince looked at this scene and was slightly surprised, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

The tiger guards at the table next to them were also stunned.

Fan Xian's love for Dabao is well known to the world, but when he really sees this kind of scene, there are still many people who can't connect this Fan Xian with the ruthless and fierce supervision of the court. Usually when eating at Xinfeng Restaurant, this scene once touched Deng Ziyue and Mu Tie. Today, those Tiger Guards and the Third Highness may also have some new views on Fan Xian.

For a demented uncle so attentive. It is definitely not simply explained by "loving the house and Wu", although Fan Xian does love and respect his wife very much - these details of the performance, if Fan Xian has always used to disguise and buy people's hearts, no one will believe it, and do it from the bottom of his heart all year round. If that person is either a great traitor or a great evil, he is a great sage and a great sage.

And which one is Fan Xian?

........................

In the rainy season of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, it is never possible to produce the saying that the spring rain is as expensive as oil, so the drizzle is getting bigger, and God does not hesitate to moisten and irrigate the earth.

Fan Xian squinted at the rain outside the eaves, but his mind had already turned to another place. The newspaper made it clear that the precipitation in the upper reaches of the river this year is not very abundant, and although it will have some impact on the resumption of cultivation in those disaster areas, at least for the time being, there is no need to worry about the terrible monster of spring floods. In this way, the matter of repairing the river works. can go on smoothly, and Yang Wanli should have just entered Kyoto to report at this time. It will probably take some time to get to the Yamen of the Governor of River Transport.

As for the silver needed for the river workers...... The tender for the inner treasury was eighty percent more than in previous years, and the number on the surface had been sealed, and through a series of complicated procedures, it began to be transported to Kyoto, first into the inner treasury, and then by the emperor's decree to pull out a number of into the treasury, and then sent to the river transport governor Yamen.

And secretly, with the full cooperation of the household department of the Supervision Yuan, and after the careful accounting of the old officials sent by Fan Xian's father, a large amount of silver has begun to be sent directly to the place needed for river transportation through different channels, and the names used have been prepared. In this large amount of silver, part of it is the share that is squeezed out of the standard silver in the inner treasury and the silver deposited by the transfer division, and a large part is Fan Xian's temporary borrowing of silver from the little emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty through Begonia.

Anyway, the silver was put in the Taiping Money Village, and Fan Xian used it first, and returned it...... That has to wait for Xia Qifei to get through the link with Fan Sizhen in the north, and use the goods smuggled in the inner library to pay back these things slowly, although Fan Xian has done enough to cover up, and the matter related to the emperor of Northern Qi is even more solid, and will definitely not let the Qingguo Kyoto court hear any rumors, but the matter of transporting silver to the river, Fan Xian has already mentioned it in the secret recital to the emperor, this matter, Fan Xian is not selfish, he didn't catch a tael of silver, and the whole thing is secretly running, Fan Xian can't invite a few traces of love for the people from this matter...... All the benefits of creation are all owned by the people of Qingguo, and in the final analysis, it is also the benefit of the emperor Laozi, and the emperor naturally acquiesces in this matter.

Now the only question that Fan Xian needs to explain to that emperor Lao Tzu is how he got this large sum of silver.

Since he can't say that the emperor of Northern Qi is a big financier, he needs an excellent reason, Fan Xian has already made arrangements for this matter as early as the beginning of the plan, part of it is attributed to the bribes obtained from the officialdom operation in the past two years, part of it is attributed to the benefits obtained from the subversion of the Cui family a year ago, and part of it is attributed to the land scraped in the Inner Treasury Transfer Division after going down to the south of the Yangtze River.

In the future, if the reconciliation with the emperor still can't match, Fan Xian has one last trick, just say that this silver is left by Uncle Wuzhu for himself.

It is impossible for the emperor to go to Wuzhu to confront him, if the river luck is really good, maybe Longyan Yiyue, then the emperor will use such a rich amount of silver in the inner treasury this year to repay a part of Fan Xian.

About the Ming family. Fan Xian naturally has a backhand arrangement, and the investigation and punishment work is slowly proceeding, but it is currently covered up by that glorious lawsuit. And for Fan Xian, dealing with the Ming family is indeed a long-term job, and he can only gradually encroach on it, if the means are really too fierce, the Ming family will be bullied too much, which will affect the stability of Jiangnan, I am afraid that Xue Qing, the governor of Jiangnan, is the first person to stand up against it.

For the reign of the dynasty. Stability has always been an overriding requirement.

The survival of the Ming family is not actually in the lawsuit in Jiangnan, but in the battle in the Kyoto Palace, if the master of the Ming family, the eldest princess, and the princes fall in the struggle for power, the Ming family will naturally be difficult to protect their basket of eggs, if Fan Xian loses, the Ming family will naturally raise their eyebrows again. Xia Qifei will flee like a lost dog again.

If the relationship between Fan Xian and the eldest princess is still in the current state, then the Ming family will only be like this. was pressed by Fan Xian for a long time, but he would never collapse with a bang, stubbornly and humbly living, struggling, waiting.

"Your Excellency. ”

A soft shout pulled Fan Xian out of his contemplation. He shook his head a little dazedly, only to find that the sky outside was much darker than before, not only because of the heavy rain, but also because it was not early. It took so much time. Thinking of this section, he couldn't help sighing, it seems that Haitang is right, his life is not much easier than that of the emperor.

I'm tired of playing after taking a look. Sisi, who was resting on the side of the fence, Fan Xian motioned to a little girl with his eyes to put a dress on her. glanced at the big treasure who was squirming with the third prince again, and then he cheered up, took out his addiction to watching the play, and said to Deng Ziyue: "How is it over there?"

Deng Ziyue smiled, handed over the paper in his hand, leaned into his ear and said, "This is a written defense in court...... My lord, do you think you want to compile these arguments into a collection and publish them all over the world?"

This is a very vicious and bold idea, it seems that Deng Ziyue finally approved of Fan Xian's idea, knowing that the Supervision Yuan can no longer maintain neutrality as in previous years.

Fan Xian scolded with a smile: "It's just a rumor, this is going to be printed as a book, won't the palace hate me to death?"

Hearing the two words in the palace, the third prince on the other table glanced over here. Fan Xian pretended not to see it, and sighed: "Speaking of eight places...... There were too few people in Jiangnan, and that incident has no effect to this day. ”

This is talking about the action of promoting Xia Qifei's story in Jiangnan, Fan Xian thought that there were eight starts, and the second prince could be beaten without the power to fight back in the rumor war in Kyoto, but now there is a tragic story of Xia Qifei's mother being expelled from the ground as a script, and there is a judgment of Suzhou Mansion as evidence, which could have made a noise in Jiangnan and destroyed all the image of good people created by the Ming family over the years. I didn't expect that the strength of the Ming family was really deep in Jiangnan, there were too few people in Jiangnan, and the Ming family also sent a lot of storytellers to shout outside, anyway, it was to link this family lawsuit with Xia Qifei's underworld background and the conspiracy of Lord Kyoto.

Although the people of Jiangnan believe that Xia Qifei is the seventh son of the Ming family, they all think that the reason why Xia Qifei suddenly jumped out this year is because of the Kyoto officials represented by Fan Xian...... I want to oppress the good people in Jiangnan.

Fan Xian thought of this, and he was amused, it seems that Ming Qingda, the master of the Ming family who has been pretending to be sick in bed, really has a very detailed understanding of his own style of acting, and the means and speed of dealing with it are also extremely accurate and fast, Ming Qingda, it is really not simple.

The general trend is in hand, not in Jiangnan, so Fan Xian can easily regard the dispute with the Ming family as a game, and he does not have too much hostility towards Ming Qingda, but appreciates it lightly, and after he reads the paper presented by Deng Ziyue, he can't help laughing out loud.

There are many wonderful people in Jiangnan, and Song Shiren from Kyoto is not bad, the lawsuit in Suzhou has gradually departed from the category of Qinglu, and has begun to develop in the direction that Chen Pingping hopes.

Fan Xian smiled and shook his head, and the tense and somewhat absurd trial scene in Suzhou Mansion seemed to emerge in front of him.

Above the Suzhou Prefecture Court. The debate is still in session, this is already the fourth day, and the main battle of the two sides will be a little tired under the repeated use of their brains, so the gap between the opening of the hall is much longer than the first day, and there will be people who will ask for a break first.

Suzhou Zhizhou also understood that Xia Qifei wanted to drag it out, but he couldn't help it, and he had already received the attention of Lord Qincha. We must judge cases by ourselves, and we must not close cases arbitrarily...... Since you can't tie the knot indiscriminately, of course, you have to argue with both sides in court.

But...... A Song Shiren and a Chen Bochang are all famous and eloquent characters, let them argue, I'm afraid they can talk about it for a whole year!

Suzhou Zhizhou also looked white and looked down. So whenever both parties ask for a break, they will allow it with a smile. He also instructed the officials to bring stools for both sides to sit on, and as for things like tea, there would be no less.

Ming Lanshi sat on the stool with a pale face, these days the young master of the Ming family has also been dragged miserably, the family's business can't help at all, and those uncles are just wastes who eat dry food and don't do things. After the opening of the bid, the purchase of goods to northern Fujian required important people in the clan, so my father, who had been saying that he was sick in the bed, stood up again and presided over these things.

The Ming family knew that Lord Qincha wanted to use this lawsuit to mess up his family's position, so that his family would be a little helpless in the shopping mall in the inner library. It's just that the Ming family doesn't have a very good way to deal with it. had to accompany each other to drag ...... Anyway, looking at this situation, the lawsuit may drag on for a year, but it's good that it won't lose anyway.

At this time, it was the turn of the Ming family to speak, and the famous lawyer Chen Bochang in Jiangnan had a slightly pale face, and it seemed that he had wasted a lot of energy these days. He took the hot towel from the students next to him and wiped his face vigorously to regain his spirits. Walking to the hall, Zhengse said: "The ancient sages have the so-called Wulun - father and son have relatives, monarchs and ministers have righteousness, husband and wife are different, the young and the old are orderly, and friends have faith. My lord, since Mr. Xia is recognized as the seventh young master of the Ming family, but the relationship between father and son is not ...... to the Ming family's room."

Before the words were finished, Song Shiren in the other side of the room had already intercepted in a strange manner: "It's not Mr. Xia, it's Mr. Ming, don't say anything wrong, otherwise after the case is over, Master Ming Qingcheng and Ming Qi can continue to sue you." ”

Song Shiren's face is not very good-looking, his eyes are a little sunken, he came to Jiangnan alone this time, and he didn't have time to bring the scribes and students, although there was the help of the scribes of the Supervision Yuan, but it was always not easy to find evidence in the pile of old papers, and it was always difficult to find scriptures in favor of him, and the other party was a local lawyer, and he didn't know how many people helped behind him, so he fought for four days, and he was the first lawyer in the world, and his spirit was a little unbearable.

Listening to Song Shiren's words, Chen Bochang was not in a hurry, he apologized to Xia Qifei with a smile, and continued: "But the four words of order of the young and the old, we have to be careful, since the old man Ming Qing is the son of the long house, of course he has the right to dispose of the origin of the Ming family. ”

He continued to say loudly: "There are four systems of mourning clothes, there are no two days in the sky, there are no two lords in the earth, there are no two kings in the country, and there are no two respects in the family. ”

Chen Bochang often spoke more and more energetically, and his voice became more and more passionate: "Since ancient times, how can it change slightly......? Why should Mr. Ming dwell on this any longer? Please decide the case as soon as possible. ”

Song Shiren stood up with some difficulty, smiled in Xia Qifei's caring eyes, walked to the front of the hall and said proudly: "The so-called family property, but the word "inheritance and property analysis", what Mr. Chen said before, I have no different meaning, but the throne is a chun, and the property analysis is another stick, the old lady Ming also had a title back then, and now it has been inherited by Ming Qingda, Mr. Ming Qingcheng does not doubt this, but the throne is only about the size of the concubine, but the property analysis has another statement. ”

Chen Bochang said with a slight anger: "The position is the guarantee of property analysis, the position is clear, and the right to analyze property is naturally about to come out." ”

Succession and property separation are the two most important parts of inheritance, Song Shiren sneered and said: "But the inheritance is the foundation of the throne, you said Qinglu before, I will also talk about Qinglu!"

He slapped the golden fan in his hand and said loudly: "The thirty-fourth rule of the Qinglu Annotation: Housekeeping is unified by the elder, and the family wealth is public property! My lord has no opinion on housekeeping, but this wealth is actually public property, of course, it must be carefully analyzed, as for how to analyze the law, since the will of the old lady Ming is here, of course, it must be according to the former Venerable!"

Uncle Chen is often angry, how can there be such a blunt reason to separate the attack from the separation?

"Qinglu Youyun: If the elder of the cohabitation should divide the family wealth unevenly, his crime will be regarded as a lowly and selfish automatic use of family wealth, and the twentieth cane is twenty!" Song Shiren looked at Ming Lanshi coldly, and said word by word: "My lord has been expelled from the family since he was a child, is this considered deliberately uneven? If twenty canes and twenty ...... How many people in the Ming family can be beaten!"

Ming Lanshi stood up angrily.

Song Shiren turned his direction again, smiled at the Zhizhou in the hall, and said: "This is the celebration of the ceremony, the criminal department, the humble and private use of wealth is sparse, the adult was also from the law department back then, you should know what the people are saying." ”

Without waiting for the Ming family to respond again, Song Shiren said proudly: "When it comes to the law, I still have a chun, and it is clearly stated in the marriage of the Qinglu Shuyi household, that is, cohabitation should be divided, and those who are not equal will be counted and infringed, and the stolen goods will be reduced by three degrees! What kind of crime is this? This is a felony of thieves. ”

Chen Bochang's eyes narrowed, admiring this good student from Kyoto, obviously a simple family property lawsuit, he was cut into two aspects, and then jumped around like a monkey in this gap, step by step, although he firmly stood on the position with the Qinglu scriptures, but I really didn't expect that the other party could even remember those small provisions of the law many years ago so clearly.

The few Qing laws that Song Shiren said just now were all things that the imperial court forgot to change when revising the law, but I am afraid that it has long disappeared into the dark place where some rats in the book pavilion disdain to rummage, but at this time, they were found by the other party so carefully, and they were used in a grand manner in the public court - this lawsuit stick is really powerful!

Song Shiren's face was calm, but his eyes were bloodshot, and being able to fight the lawsuit to the extent it was now was already the limit of his ability.

One-seventh of Ming's land is not a small amount.

Although he couldn't understand Fan Xian's ambitions, since Lord Qincha valued him so much, he naturally wanted to fight this lawsuit beautifully and write the most beautiful and glorious stroke for the profession of lawyer.

Being able to participate in the battle of this level of the Ming family's property is already the highest level for the lawyer, and it is a bigger thing, such as ...... In that inheritance, how can a mere lawyer have the qualifications to speak? Moreover, if it were not for the fact that the imperial court was divided into two parties and occasionally wrestled, it would be impossible for the Ming family property lawsuit to go to court, let alone file a case, and Song Shiren would not have had the opportunity to participate.

So although he was very tired, he had a morbid excitement in his spirit, and this opportunity was too rare, and he must seize it.

If Song Shiren knew that he was fighting in Jiangnan, it would stimulate the sensitive nerves of some people, which would indirectly promote the cooperation of some people, and make the contradictions between Fan Xian and those people appear in a state of confrontation in advance...... Even if he was given a few more incentives to leave a name in history, he would only be so frightened that he quickly slipped away incognito.

Song Shiren didn't care about that problem: the so-called family property, everyone wants to fight over, whether it is the Ming family or the emperor's.
