Chapter 012: Format Doesn't Matter
"Uncle asked me to accompany you to my cousin of the Tao family, cousin, why were you born in the county government?"
Shu Jinxuan's face was puzzled: Could it be that she still wants to break the connection with Ye Chengyu?
"Cousin, who do you think is better than Brother Tao or Gu Langxi?"
Hua Rujin's thin lips opened lightly, and she answered slowly, but her eyes were always staring at the gate of the county government not far away.
Shu Jinxuan's gaze followed the past: "These two people are among the four famous mouths of my Jiangling City, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to distinguish between them in the court." ”
"Not bad."
Hua Rujin said with a smile: "I remember that these four sons all claim to have never lost a lawsuit, how can they fight for me, so that they can't get off the stage, not to mention ruining their prestige, not to mention that the Dou family has the first opportunity, and Tao Gongzi will not choose to make a move if he is not completely sure." ”
Gu Langxi's appearance in the Hua family's courtyard today is undoubtedly to announce to everyone that he has protected the Dou family.
If a lawyer of his level makes a move, insiders will be afraid of giving a few thin faces.
"And what are you going to do?"
Shu Jinxuan furrowed his forehead and asked confusedly.
Thinking back to the controversy in the Hua family, although there are doubts everywhere, no strong evidence can be found, which shows that the Dou family is deliberate.
"At the moment, our two families have their own opinions, and the Dou family doesn't dare to come directly to the family to ask for someone, but I can't get out of the Dou family smoothly."
Hua Rujin said: You can't just dry it up.
If the stalemate continues, it is still yourself who suffers.
After all, a woman's youth can have a geometry.
"The most important thing now is to see how our new magistrate decides."
Hua Rujin retracted her gaze and smiled faintly at Shu Jinxuan:
She has to help Ye Chengwei make a decision, and she can't let him declare a personal vendetta over this matter.
"Ye Gongzi, I have dealt with him a few times in Beijing in the past two years, and it is not difficult for you to meet him."
Shu Jinxuan's face showed suspicion: "But as you said, if you can't prove that Dou Yuanqian's cause of death had another reason, or prove that the suicide note was forged, even if Ye Gongzi is upright, it will be difficult for him to favor you." ”
"It's really hard to be convincing to make a fuss about the suicide note and the cause of Dou Yuanqian's death with a few words of suspicion, and these are cases that have been decided by the former magistrate, and it is a taboo in officialdom to overturn the old case without any basis, so he naturally won't make a desperate bet for me and challenge authority."
At this point, Hua Rujin's words changed abruptly: "But if it affects his political achievements and career, do you think he can still sit idly by?" ”
"But now that he is a new official, we don't have any tricks to pinch him."
Shu Jinxuan pondered and meditated, and suddenly said quickly: "Yes, I have saved some money for your eldest cousin in the past two years to pick up medicinal materials, and when he comes to the county office, I will think of bribing him, and you will take the opportunity to catch him, so he will naturally be at your mercy, tsk." ”
"Cousin, this method is really clever."
Seeing that he showed an arrogant look, Hua Rujin rolled her eyes coldly.
He was not afraid of being killed.
What's more, at the moment, everyone doesn't know much about Ye Chengwei, if stealing chickens doesn't make it a counter-erosion, then my aunt's life will really have to be explained in the beginning.
Looking at the county government that was gradually becoming lively in the distance, Hua Rujin suddenly had an idea in her heart.
She looked at the shop that was thinking about noodles, and hurriedly asked, "Shop, do you have paper and pens in the store?" ”
"Yes."
Seeing that it was a delicate-looking woman, the shopkeeper replied loudly, and while wiping his hands, he rushed into the store to get a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and politely sent it to the two.
Because it is close to the county government, most of the shops here are equipped with the four treasures of the study room for diners to take in a hurry, even if they are illiterate.
Hua Rujin thanked him, then spread out the paper, pressed the inkstone to the corner of the paper, and pondered while grinding the ink.
Shu Jinxuan saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Cousin, don't you want to write a complaint yourself?" ”
"Exactly."
Hua Rujin nodded.
Shu Jinxuan was taken aback: "When did you learn to write a complaint?" ”
"No, it won't."
Hua Rujin smiled bitterly and looked up at him.
"I've heard that the Yamen is very particular about writing pleadings, and the format alone is very cumbersome......
"Ahem, the format doesn't matter, just read it."
Hua Rujin interrupted him.
When I first arrived, I was unfamiliar with the place, and it was difficult to do everything in a hurry.
However, with the words of Lu Xiuyuan in the classic history, and the thigh of the original owner's cousin, it should not be difficult to see Ye Chengwei directly.
Therefore, the focus of this complaint is not those cumbersome details, but the content to the point, which should quickly impress Ye Chengwei.
After all, you can't pull this cousin as a roadrunner every time.
But this damn classical Chinese is her sore spot after all, if she doesn't say it at length, she doesn't have a fixed format, and maybe people don't want to take a closer look.
She recalled some classic cases she had seen in her life, and immediately had an idea, immediately put pen to paper, and wrote a brief complaint in a few moments.
Before Shu Jinxuan could calm down, he saw that his cousin had put away the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and handed it back to the store: "Just ...... Written? ”
He looked suspicious.
"Hmm."
Hua Rujin responded lightly, raised her eyes inadvertently, and saw a brand-new orange-red carriage parked at the gate of the county office.
Then, a straight figure got out of the carriage and went straight into the county office.
"That'...... But the new magistrate? ”
Looking at the figure that had disappeared from sight, Hua Rujin asked hesitantly.
Shu Jinxuan looked back, only to see the coachman who was tidying up the carriage, and nodded hesitantly: "That little Langjun is Ye Chengwei's scholar Ting'an, since he has arrived at the county office, presumably Ye Gongzi is also here." ”
After speaking, looking at the food served by the store, he hurriedly urged: "Let's finish eating quickly, and go to meet the county magistrate while the county government has not yet ordered." ”
"Okay."
Hua Rujin Mali hid the complaint in his arms, and began to devour the food in front of him.
"Ahem, cousin, slow down."
Shu Jinxuan didn't dislike her vicious dog eating appearance, but she felt distressed when she thought that she was embarrassed by her grandmother and second uncle's family.
"Hmm."
Hua Rujin pursed her lips casually.
In the previous life, the work system of 996 was the norm, even if she opened her own law firm, she often worked overtime when she encountered urgent cases, and even eating was always a race against time.
After dealing with a few mouthfuls, Hua Rujin took out the silver from his arms and shouted softly to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, buy ......"
The word "pay" was not exported, and he hurriedly changed his words: "Checkout." ”
Looking at the five taels of silver in her hand, the shopkeeper looked embarrassed: "Miss, a total of ten ...... Fifteen cents. ”
It only opened early in the morning, and the little lady was just such a big ingot of silver, isn't it embarrassing.
"I'll do it."
Shu Jinxuan hurriedly took out a small ingot of broken silver from the money bag and handed it to the store: "No need to look for it." ”
Then, he smiled at her gently: "When did you become so alien to your cousin?" ”
As she spoke, she felt uncomfortable in her heart: she was now more and more separated from herself.
Hua Rujin saw the embarrassment on his face, and thought of the affection between the two since childhood, and gradually realized that his change was too great.
While putting away the silver, he led him to the county yamen: "Not really, it's just that Cousin Lao has been tossing with me for a long time, and I should treat you." ”
Hearing this, Shu Jinxuan's heart warmed up a lot, and a smile regained on his face: "You can come out of the Dou family safely this time, which is the greatest reward for me." ”
When it came to the Dou family, Hua Rujin's mind gradually appeared that gloomy and gloomy mansion, as if a ghost was holding her tightly and pulling her to the depths of the valley.
It made her scalp tingle.
And Shu Jinxuan had already arrived in front of the Ya at this time, and asked the messenger to enter the office.
