Xie Chengye's foundation is not very good, so Xie Xiuwen simply detained people to study in Fuyuan Villa, and the gentleman he invited at the beginning was still there, so he simply let him take several other juniors of the Xie family to teach together.

Cheng Jingzhou is out now, so he naturally wants to think of bringing people from his family, but he is still young, and there is a father in the family, so those things before the examination can be done by Cheng's father.

Cheng Jingzhou's official position is also low now, so he really can't help much.

And Cheng's father and Cheng's mother's meaning is also to let their young couple take care of themselves in the capital, as long as they don't let the family worry about it, even if it is to reassure the family.

Xie Rongzhao no longer continues to invest in the harvest workshop, basically most of the things are handed over to Ding Datou, of course, there are several squires who have joined the stock and have also installed small stewards in it, but Ding Datou is in charge of all major matters.

Xie Rongzhao was idle at this time, and began to ponder her embroidery villages, the female workers recruited in them were either some women who were nearby, or some poor people who had suffered, and now the business of this embroidery village is stable, the most important thing is to let the women have an extra income, which is equivalent to allowing them to improve their status at home a little bit, saving them from being disliked by their families and eating white rice, and then selling them early for money.

Du Zhihe's official position was lifted, and it was not good for the county lord of Jiahua to go to the emperor to intercede here, after all, it was involved in a life lawsuit, and the county lord of Jiahua also had to take care of the face of the court.

On the Du family's side, because Du Zhihe's official position is gone, it has also stopped at this time.

Cheng Jingzhou received a complaint on this day, which was no one else, but the Du family.

Cheng Jingzhou called people to the court, and only after this question did he know that the original master who came to complain was named Sun Er, who was now in his early thirties, but he looked at the temples that had been dyed with white frost, and his face was yellow, and his body was thin, which really did not match his actual age.

"My lord, please make the decision for the villain!"

Sun Er knelt in the public court and began to cry about what happened to him.

But it turned out that welcoming guests to the restaurant was originally the ancestral property of Sun Er's family, and after Sun Er's father died of illness, it was passed on to him.

Sun Er was originally two brothers, but his brother didn't live to adulthood, and the person was gone, so he was the only son in the family, so this welcome guest was naturally inherited by him.

But the year before last, the Du family sent someone to talk about buying and welcoming guests, but Sun Er only thought that the other party was joking, and repeatedly said that he would not sell it.

I don't want the other party to simply find someone to make trouble, for several days, the restaurant can't do any business, Sun Er was later mentioned, saying that the second son of the Du family climbed to the royal family, and he will be a big official in the future, Sun Er was afraid.

"Later, the Du family sent a housekeeper to come and forcibly wanted to buy my welcome guest, although I was unwilling, but I could only agree, but they forced them to buy and sell, and they only paid five hundred taels, and they wanted to take away my restaurant, which, together with the title deed, was worth eight hundred taels of silver in the market. Because the price was too low, the villain disagreed, but I didn't expect that my child was beaten that night, and my eldest son, who was studying, was also injured in the arm. ”

Sun Er wiped his tears as he spoke: "Please also ask the adults to check clearly, if the villain has half a lie, he will not die well!" ”

can make such a heavy oath, it can be seen that he has really been wronged.

"Since it was the year before last, why didn't you come to report the case?"

Sun Er's shrunk slightly: "Back to my lord, the year before last, the villain reported to the official twice, but in the end, not only did no one redress the villain's grievances, but also fined the villain twenty taels of silver, and the villain also got twenty boards." Last year, you went to Feng County, but the villain really didn't dare to try again, just wanted to see if you could afford to mess with the Du family. It wasn't until the Du family was punished when the Qing Dynasty was punished, and even the second son of the county palace was arrested by you, that the villain was convinced that you were different from the previous adult, so he dared to sue. ”

To put it bluntly, I'm afraid that you will be in the same stream again, and when the time comes, you will beat me to death, how will my family live?

"How are your two sons doing?"

"Back to my lord, my eldest son has been recuperating at home for more than three months, and then after the injury is healed, he was told that the private school did not allow him to study again, in desperation, the villain had to entrust his relatives and send people to other counties to study, as for my child, the injury was not serious, but he was scared not lightly, and he had a fever for several days, and he did not take less medicine before and after."

Cheng Jingzhou understood, that is to say, the eldest son's arm was injured, which really had a great impact, after all, he was a scholar, and he still paid great attention to this.

"Come on, go to the Du family."

Sun Er's statement paper wrote the housekeeper of the Du Mansion, as well as the uncle of the Du family, that is, Du Zhihe's eldest brother Du Zhixing.

Cheng Jingzhou looked at this form again, the handwriting was powerful, and the wording was very simple and clear.

"Who wrote this paper?"

Sun Er hesitated, but still said truthfully: "Lord Hui, it was written by my eldest brother." Because of the great changes in my family the year before last, my restaurant was forcibly occupied by the Du family, and I never paid a tael of silver, so my family is now living in a bit of embarrassment, so Da Lang wanted to save some silver and wrote it himself. ”

"Well, what is written on this is what you dictated?"

"Yes. The villain is actually literate, but the writing is not good-looking, and Da Lang is worried that you will be disgusted with the ugly words, so he started writing. ”

It's a careful one.

Cheng Jingzhou didn't ask any more, and sent Song Daring to take someone outside to investigate, and it was best to bring someone over directly.

When Du Zhixing and Steward Du were brought to the lobby, they were still very unconvinced, and Du Zhixing even bent down and never knelt.

This scene annoyed Cheng Jingzhou.

"Who is standing in the hall?"

Du Zhixing looked left and right, and hurriedly said: "Back to the adult, the villain Du Zhixing, the father Du." ”

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a shocking wooden handle.

"Presumptuous! When you come to the court, why don't you kneel? ”

Du Zhixing was frightened, and the Du housekeeper on the side tugged at his robe: "Uncle, you are white, you should kneel according to the law." ”

Only then did Du Zhixing realize that he had no fame.

I'm used to being powerful in Feng County, where did I think of kneeling for others?

But at this time, he couldn't help him, and before he could bend his knees, the official on the side came over with a stick and pestle, and Du Zhixing fell to his knees with a plop.

Sizzle!

Du Zhixing's expression was painful, it really hurt!

"Du Zhixing, the housekeeper of Du Mansion, now there is a bitter lord Sun Er who has sued you for forcibly occupying his property, and before that, he has repeatedly bullied him, and he has injured his eldest son's arm and injured his younger son, and now this official asks you, is what he said true?"
