Xiao Feng asked obviously with a weak heart, Xu Fan answered with confidence, even a fool can see it now, Xu Fan has the upper hand, Xiao Feng can only knock on the side, hoping to lose as much as possible.

Xiao Feng pondered for a long time before he said slowly: "There are no natural disasters or military disasters in Songjiang Mansion, and every family lives and works in peace and contentment. They sold themselves to the Xu family, which is neither reasonable nor explainable! ”

Xu Fan laughed, finally, he finally let out this breath.

Looking at Xiao Feng, who has always been omnipotent, is now forced like this by himself, he is really happy!

What if you know the truth? What about you insinuating? Your hints can't frighten me, what else can you do?

Even if the emperor is listening, I am not afraid. Because the emperor knew that the Xu family didn't have that much money, because the Xu family didn't spend any money at all.

Not only did the emperor know, but even everyone in the world knew that these farmers must have taken the initiative to take refuge in the Xu Mansion, and it could not be that the Xu Mansion was persecuted!

When a person is raised by the people, there are dozens or hundreds of people who take refuge. Why is it strange that thousands of people have sold themselves to take refuge?

In the final analysis, this is just the bureaucracy taking advantage of the loopholes of the imperial court system. This is still the money of the imperial court, not the emperor's small treasury.

The emperor will not be embarrassed by this. Today's public case will only be closed in the end, but on top of this court, Xiao Feng, you lost!

"Lord Xiao, you are repeatedly hinting that this is unreasonable, and that explanation is unreasonable. But there are many things that don't make sense and can't be explained in this world!

They are cheap bones, and they are willing to be slaves and servants to others, can't they? Is it illegal?

You tossed and turned, incoherent, procrastinating, and refused to admit that you had no choice, is this your Lord Xiao's backbone?

Aren't you the best talent in the world? Isn't it true that even Yan Shifan can't fight you? If you have the ability, you can defeat me according to the law? ”

The people in the hall were in an uproar and crowded forward, wanting to watch this wonderful battle in a more high-definition way.

It's been a long time! Since Lord Xiao appeared, no one has been able to challenge him so much in the public court of this Shuntian Mansion, and today he has copied it!

"Add money and add money! This is an additional project, so go back without adding money! ”

"What's the money? The 500 Wen that Lao Tzu gave you could have been able to watch the whole audience! ”

"It's right to look at the whole audience, but you can only see the SD! If you want to see more clearly, you have to move forward, right? If you want to move forward, you have to add money! ”

"Lao Tzu squeezed forward by himself, why should he give you money?"

"So are you watching HD or not in this position? Do you want to continue the experience? ”

"This location is indeed much higher definition than the position just now!"

"Brother Cha, it's me, Huang San'er! Push them back! They won't pay more! Yes, whip up! Ink spilled! ”

"I'll ...... You officials and businessmen collude...... Don't smoke it, don't squeeze the one in the back! Don't push it, big brother! The urine is squeezed out!

Don't, don't, don't spill ink! I haven't been in the water yet with my new clothes in the morning! I add money, I add money, how much does it cost? ”

The ticket price in the hall has risen, and the hall is tense. Hai Rui trembled with anger and glared at Xu Fan, but there was nothing he could do.

The two peasant deputies were already paralyzed in the hall, crying bitterly in their hearts, what kind of deputies should they be, and the guns shot the first bird!

Lu Bing and Huang Jin in the back hall were looking at Jiajing's face, Jiajing's eyes were slightly closed, his face was like an ancient well, and he had nothing to do with himself.

Guo Jun listened intently to the movement outside, completely forgetting that his humming had stopped unconsciously.

Xiao Feng sighed: "Xu Fan, originally I wanted to save some face for your father. But since you say so, then I can't help it. ”

Xu Fan looked at Xiao Feng contemptuously, thinking that you don't have to pretend.

In the original civil and military dispute, I underestimated you, but this time you underestimated me!

The original wretchedness, the fright I received in the cell last night, Lao Tzu will return it to you today.

After today, the whole world will know that you Xiao Feng will be defeated in front of me! At that time, those officials who are still waiting and watching will fall to the Xu family!

"Lord Xiao doesn't have to be tricky, you just pronounce the sentence. If you dare to openly judge in front of everyone, ignoring the law, the court will not tolerate it! ”

Xiao Feng looked at Hai Rui: "Lord Hai has worked hard, this case is over." It's time to leave. ”

Everyone was stunned, and Hai Rui also looked at Xiao Feng: "Lord Xiao, this is ...... The verdict hasn't been pronounced yet......"

Xiao Feng nodded at the people in shame: "I, Xiao Feng, am not strict with my subordinates, and let Diao Nu make trouble, Xiao Feng is to blame."

Just ask Lord Hai to give me a face, don't pronounce the sentence, my own house slave, I will punish myself, and then discuss how to deal with it. ”

There was an uproar in the hall: No wonder Lord Xiao was reluctant to pronounce the verdict, it turned out that these two peasant representatives were Lord Xiao's domestic slaves?

This time, not only Hai Ruimeng, but Xu Fan was also blind, but he reacted quickly and immediately laughed.

"Lord Xiao thought about it for a long time, did he come up with such a bad idea? Bring two falsely accused minions under your door to protect them from being beaten and exiled?

But Lord Xiao, you may have forgotten something, the two of them are the slaves of my Xu family, and I have a deed of mutual covenant. Have you asked me about it now?

Of course, if Lord Xiao must want to protect these two minions, I can't sell them to you. It's just that Lord Xiao can afford it? ”

Xiao Feng looked at Xu Fan: "How much money do you want?" ”

Xu Fan laughed mockingly: "These two minions are worth a lot of money." Let me think about it, just one hundred thousand taels of silver. Lord Xiao is the richest man in the capital, this bit of silver can't be difficult for you. ”

The people in the hall were in an uproar again, this is not a fucking robbery while the fire is burning, this is a fucking digging of the ancestral grave while the fire is burning!

These two guys, neither of them are beautiful and fragrant, and they don't see any talent, even if their whole body is made of gold, they are not worth so much money!

Xiao Feng sighed: "The two of them are your slaves, and you haven't spent a penny." Now I need 100,000 taels for one person, is it so easy to buy and sell slaves these days? ”

Xu Fan laughed and said: "Buying and selling should be consensual, if you want to buy, you must also want to sell." Lord Xiao had better think about it quickly, maybe the price will increase in a while. ”

Hai Rui looked at Xiao Feng painfully, he had been humiliated by Xu Fan in the lobby of Songjiang Mansion before, but he felt far less painful than today.

Because at that time, he still had hope, a spiritual pillar, and thought that Xiao Feng could help him solve the problem. It's like a child who has been bullied in school and thinks he can go home to his parents.

But Hai Rui now feels like he went home and told his parents after being bullied in the school. When the parents arrived at the school, they were bullied by the other parent's again!

Every child who is bullied, the last line of defense is the parents, if their parents are powerless to fight, then the child will be desperate.

Hai Rui was already desperate now, he looked at Xiao Feng, and suddenly realized that he had never thought that he would feel this way about the young Xiao Feng.

He was bullied by Xiao Feng at the beginning, but he finally understood that Xiao Feng was doing good deeds; But now he and Xiao Feng are being bullied by Xu Fan, but Xu Fan is doing bad things!

"Young Master Xu, did I say that the house slaves I want to punish are the representatives of these two peasant households?"

Xu Fan laughed and said, "Oh? Lord Xiao saw that the wind made the rudder's ability to make the rudder really strong.

You originally wanted to say that these two are your slaves, and let me give me a vague face, right?

It's a pity that I didn't give you this face, and you were embarrassed, and now you are looking back to make up for it, trying to forcibly restore your dignity.

It's a pity that there are only a few people in this class, you are not talking about them, can it be me? Hahahahaha! ”

Xiao Feng smiled faintly, looking at Xu Fan, Xu Fan's laughter grew from big to small, and he became more and more unconfident, until he couldn't laugh anymore.

"Xu Gongzi, why can't it be you?"

"You...... You don't want to fish in troubled waters, hide from the world! Even if you lie, you have to be reliable! How can I be your slave? ”

Xiao Feng took out a piece of paper from his arms, opened it slowly, smiled and waved at Xu Fan, and everyone saw the words and fingerprints on it.

"Let's ask Lord Hai to check it and see if this deed of sale is genuine."

Hai Rui took the piece of paper in surprise, and read it out of his mouth involuntarily, with extreme incredulity in his voice.

"Today, there is Xu Fan, the son of Xu Jie, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, because of his admiration for the second assistant of the Ming Dynasty, the character and talent of Xiao Feng, the real person of Wenxuan, and he voluntarily sold himself into slavery for one hundred taels of silver.

This covenant was made, and the silver man was signed twice, and both sides were staked with fingerprints. Since then, Xu Fan has been Xiao Feng's slave, and he should guard his duty as a slave, and live and die from his destiny.

Covenant Maker, Lord: Xiao Feng; Slave: Xu Fan, notary, Qiao Niang. A certain day, a certain month, and a certain year. ”

A certain year, a certain month, and a certain day, that is, yesterday. The master is Xiao Feng, and the slave is Xu Fan, everyone knows it. The notary is Qiao Niang, and everyone is familiar with it.

Xu Fan was not only stunned, but even a little stunned, as if his pulse was suppressed, and he completely lost his heartbeat.

What's going on? What is Hai Jui fartting? What, I admire Xiao Feng's character and talent? Still admired to the point of selling himself for a hundred taels of silver?

Xu Fan rushed forward to grab the contract, Xiao Feng waved his hand, and the two catchers grabbed him.

"Xu Gongzi wants to see it, so he will show it to him, but grab his two hands. Prevent him from jumping over the wall and eating my baby contract! ”

The two catchers grabbed Xu Fan's hand, and Hai Rui put the contract in front of Xu Fan. Xu Fan's eyes widened and he looked at the contract repeatedly.

In the end, under the control of the catcher, Xu Fan also used his fingers to draw on the fingerprints, and then the whole person almost collapsed to the ground.

That's right, this is his fingerprint, and the finger he looked at in horror at himself was white and clean, with no ink at all, obviously washed!

Xu Fan suddenly roared: "I know, this is a contract you forged!" You put my finger print on my finger while I passed out in prison!

You are framed, you are perverted, you are ...... What are you...... What are you doing here!! ”

Xu Fan's roar was filled with grief and crying, he was smart enough to already know how deep Xiao Feng's pit had been dug, but he had no choice.

Xiao Feng looked at Xu Fan in surprise: "Young Master Xu, what's wrong with you?" Obviously, you said last night, that you admired my character and talent, and was willing to sell yourself into slavery, why did you not recognize it in a blink of an eye? ”

Xu Fan yelled: "You fart, I admire you for being a fart!" I've never sold myself to you, I've been wronged! ”

Xiao Feng said indifferently: "Who wouldn't regret selling himself into slavery?" But a contract is a contract, and there is no basis for oral statement.

If the slave can repent, and the contract can be overturned, wouldn't it be a great chaos in the world? What's the use of a contract? ”

Xu Fan's whole body shuddered: "Who is the witness on this contract?" It's a witness you've made up, isn't it? ”

Xiao Feng shook his head: "This witness is known to many people, and it is my housekeeper of the Xiao Mansion. If you don't believe me, just ask anyone.

If you want her to testify in court, you can do that. Anyway, it's not a bad thing for a woman to show up now, and my Xiao Mansion doesn't care. ”

"I was in the Suncheonfu prison last night! You, you hacked me! Suncheonfu is your territory, you can do whatever you want! ”

Xiao Feng said lightly: "Then Xu Gongzi, please take out the legal basis and see which clause says that you are not allowed to sign a contract in prison, and which clause says that the housekeeper is not allowed to be a witness?" ”

Xu Fan yelled: "There are only fingerprints on this contract, no autographs!" Why is there no autograph? ”

Xiao Feng said lightly: "Which law of Daming says that the contract must be signed by autograph?" What if you don't know how to read? ”

Xu Fan was furious, and foaming at the corners of his mouth: "I never confiscated your one hundred taels of silver, since I haven't received the money, this contract can't be counted!" ”

Xiao Feng nodded sincerely: "You said that the four words Yintian and the two words can mean that the other party has already gotten the money."

My contract also states that the money is paid, which naturally means that you have got the money. But I'm a lot more particular about this than you are.

I remember that after you got the money yesterday, you hid it in your belt, don't believe you rummaged through your belt and looked? ”

Xu Fan was wearing a slap-wide silk belt that was common to rich sons at that time, with hidden seams in it, which could hide some paper handkerchiefs and the like.

Xu Fan reached out and groped, then froze again. The catcher next to him helped him pull his hand out of his belt and took a silver ticket of one hundred taels from his hand.

The people in the hall were in an uproar again, and they all felt that Xiao Feng was indeed much more reasonable than Xu Fan just now.

Xu Fan thinks that the evidence is ironclad just by virtue of the contract, so now that you have received the money and signed the contract, it is naturally ironclad evidence like a mountain and a mountain, and the ironclad evidence is like a mountain!

Xu Fan was desperate, he knew that he had lost, and he had lost so badly that he would even lose his life.

Receiving the land that the point of refuge in, this sin naturally can't die, but as Xiao Feng's slave, it's hard to say whether he dies or not!

So Xu Fan had to struggle one last time, he screamed in despair.

"I am the son of the first assistant, my family is a big family, I am not short of money, why should I sell myself into slavery? This simply doesn't make sense! ”

Xiao Feng looked at him coldly: "You said that there are many things in this world that don't make sense, and they can't be explained!"

Maybe you're a cheap bone, and you're willing to be a slave to others, aren't you? Is it illegal?

You are rambling, incoherent, procrastinating, and you just refuse to admit this ironclad evidence.

Didn't the court judge cases just look at the law and evidence? What does it matter if it is unreasonable or not? ”

Xu Fan collapsed to the ground, unable to say a word. Hai Rui also looked at Xiao Feng in shock, not knowing what to do.

He knew that it was Xiao Feng who had yin against Xu Fan, but according to the law and evidence, he couldn't refute Xiao Feng. Since he can't refute it, he can only agree with Xiao Feng's statement.

Now Xu Fan is Xiao Feng's house slave, no matter how magical this thing is, but according to the law and evidence.

The honor and disgrace of Xu Fan's life can be said to be between Xiao Feng's raising of his hand, Xiao Feng killed Xu Fan in the court, and no one could stop him.

Of course, this matter will not end like this in the end, otherwise the son of Shoufu will really become a slave, and the entire Ming Dynasty will become a joke.

Xu Fan also knew in his heart that his father would not allow it, and the emperor would not allow it, but no matter what, he was defeated this time.

"Lord Xiao, the old man has been in the capital for a long time, and his godson is not strict, so he is guilty of misconduct at home, ashamed of the township, and disappointing the court.

His is purely strong and ridiculous, and I thank Lord Xiao for his painstaking efforts to correct his fallacies one by one.

Lord Hai, you can kill him in the court, the old man should not have this rebel! ”

Everyone was shocked and looked at the crowd, Xu Jie was not wearing an official uniform, he was wearing a cloth robe, and he was mixed in the crowd, just like an ordinary old scholar.

The corners of his mouth trembled at this time, and there were tears in his eyes, which was indeed very sad and indignant, which could not be pretended.

It's just that half of his grief and indignation comes from his son's incompetence, and more than half comes from Xiao Feng's lack of morality.

No matter how angry his son is, he is also his own son, he just made a mistake, but he is still a child!

Xiao Feng, you are different, although you are a little younger, you are in a high position, and you are cunning!

You yin my son and make you a slave, the coffin board of my Xu family's ancestors will not be able to hold it!

Shangguan listens, whether you care about his opinion or not, it is a common etiquette to give a seat.

Hai Rui is very disciplined, he quickly got up: "Since Lord Xu has come to hear the trial, please come to the court, come to the court, come and watch!" ”

Xu Jie shook his head, walked to the hall, did not sit down, but stood beside Xu Fan, looked at Xu Fan for a long time, and slapped Xu Fan in the face fiercely.

Xu Fan was already sitting on the ground, and was directly slapped by Xu Jie. Xu Jie's whole body trembled with anger.

"Lord Hai, Lord Xiao, I didn't come to hear the trial as the first assistant, I came to the court as the father of this rebel.

This rebel's in front of him, in fact, not only the two adults, but also the people present can hear it, and it is completely strong!

If I judge the case with the Ming Law Division, I am so rigid, clinging to the law, and ignoring the principles of heaven and human feelings, then why did the law come about? ”

Xiao Feng nodded: "Xu Shoufu is high, so with Xu Shoufu's opinion, what should I do?" ”

Xu Jie said angrily: "The law is constant, but the world is impermanent. If the law of permanence is used to deal with the impermanence of the world, there will be omissions.

Therefore, if there is a case according to the law and dogma, it is obviously contrary to the principles of heaven and the people's heart, and the omissions should be filled in with special exceptions. If not, then the law becomes evil! ”

Xiao Feng smiled slightly: "Xu Shoufu's words are deafening, Xiao Feng thinks so, I don't know if Lord Hai thinks so?" ”

If it had been placed in the past, Hai Rui would have hesitated. But after this incident, Hai Rui's mentality also changed, and he nodded silently.

Xu Jie breathed a sigh of relief: "In this way, can the two adults in this case come to a conclusion?" No matter what the crime of this rebel son is, the old man will never complain. ”

Hai Rui nodded, he knew that in the final analysis, it was Xu Fan's collusion with the peasants to evade the imperial court's land tax; turned his face and denied it.

The punishment for this sin is not too severe, it is just a loss of face. However, looking at Xu Jie's attitude today, he no longer cares about losing face.

Hai Rui raised the shocked wood and was about to announce the verdict, Xiao Feng waved his hand and looked at Xu Jie with a smile.

"Xu Shoufu, you've been talking for a long time, but I didn't admit that your son sold himself to me as a fake.

We still have to fight about this. ”
