Chapter 59: The First Lawyer: Wang Shu

In the past, Heyun Tower, where people came and went, today it looks particularly deserted, and the four scoundrels in front of the door are standing there lazily, blocking all the customers who want to enter Heyun Building.

The owner of Heyun Building, a young man in his fifties, stood in front of the door and kept clenching his fists to apologize to the customers who turned back.

"Get out of the carriage, but let's see what tricks they have to take away my property!" Mrs. Tao lifted the curtain and was helped out of the carriage by the pipa.

"Yo, Mrs. Tao is here!"

As soon as Yu Qiyi and his entourage appeared, they saw the scoundrel Leper Liu, and at this time, Yin and Yang came over in a strange manner.

"Hmph!" Mrs. Tao snorted coldly, ignoring him.

Seeing this, Leper Liu's eyes swept greedily over Mrs. Tao, but he didn't say anything, just smiled weirdly, and then followed him and entered Heyun Tower.

Although Heyun Building was contracted today and did not welcome guests, there were not many people in the building. They are all big families with names and surnames in Wuliu Village, and some elderly people are sitting in the lobby at this time and sitting down around square tables.

If you look closely, there are some familiar faces in the pavilion.

Yu Qi's eyes showed a gleam, swept through the hall of Heyun Building, and there were eight square tables, none of which were sitting around seven or eight people.

The whispers in the lobby were like flies, constantly spreading, and when Mrs. Tao and her party walked in, the whole lobby suddenly fell silent.

The lobby is full of acquaintances, even if they are not too familiar, everyone is also nodding friends on weekdays.

Mrs. Tao bowed to the people in the hall, and then found an empty table to sit down.

"Madam, that slut and that cub are here too!" said Pipa suddenly to Mrs. Tao.

Mrs. Tao stared when she heard this, followed the guidance of the pipa, and sure enough, she saw several familiar figures.

There were three men from the Tao family, as well as Na Zhaodi and Ying'er, who were sitting at the square table at this time, looking at Mrs. Tao.

They looked at each other, made eye contact, and then drifted away.

Ma Dongmo walked out of the corner of the lobby and came to Mrs. Tao's square table: "I've seen Mrs. Tao." ”

"My husband is not as ungrateful as your brother!" Mrs. Tao smiled coldly.

"After all, it's eight thousand taels of silver, although I am good friends with Brother Tao, there are still a lot of elders in the clan staring. After today, I will definitely make amends to my sister-in-law in person!" Ma Dongmo smiled hypocritically, and his face was extremely sincere: "Today, we will invite the village to be righteous, three elderly people in their nineties, and the first lawyer of Yizhou City: Wang Shu. Wang wrote this person, who was a lawyer who had won a hundred battles in Yizhou City and had never been defeated, with a thorough background and a familiar reading of all the laws of the Great Shang. The upper can pass the state capital, and the lower can reach the pawn of the peddler. I spent a lot of money to bring this man in for notarization. ”

In this day and age, not everything has to go to the yamen. If there is something to adjust first, if the adjustment is not good, go to the yamen. Even, sometimes even if you sue the yamen, you will be sent back by the yamen and ask the elders in the village to cut it off.

In a certain respect, the decisions made by the elders in the village are equivalent to those of the yamen, and they also have legal effect.

Mrs. Tao snorted coldly when she heard this, turned her face away, ignored Ma Dongmo, and told him to eat a nose of ash.

"This slut, it's not the mage's fault, I have to call you like a dog, lying on my bed and barking!" Ma Dongmo's eyes showed a touch of gloom, and then he lost a smile before turning to leave.

Yu Qi swept over the people in the lobby, and then his eyes fell on Mrs. Tao, seeing that her spirit was tense and her heart was nervous, she couldn't help but smile lightly: "Madame, don't be nervous, I have found a flaw, and I will never ask someone to take Mrs. Tao's property." ”

"How sure are you?" Hearing this, Mrs. Tao turned sharply to look at Yu Qi.

"Ten percent!" Yu Qi said categorically.

"Sure enough?"

"Hmm!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a commotion at the door, and several figures walked out one after another.

The leaders are three drooping old men, old and slow-moving, all three of them have wrinkled faces, exuding a decadent aura unique to old people, full of white hair, and when they speak, they show their teeth.

Behind the three old men was a middle-aged man of 1356 years old and about 40 years old, dressed in brocade clothes with a handsome face, and his smile was like a spring breeze, but there was only a pair of eyes, and the breath of energy was exposed, which was a little cold and mean, which made people dislike it.

He is the first lawyer of Yizhou City: Wang Shu. At this time, he was clasping his hands into fists gracefully, constantly greeting everyone in the hall.

After some politeness, until the two sides sat down, they saw the lawyer slowly standing in front of the case, grinding in his hands, and writing quickly for a while, before raising his head: "Are the people from the Tao family here?"

"It's coming!" a young man from the Tao family next to Zhao Di responded.

"Is Mrs. Tao here?" Wang Shu lowered his head to write, and then raised his head again and asked.

"It's coming!" said the pipa crisply.

"Are you suffering, are you here?" Wang Shu glanced at everyone, then lowered his head and continued to write.

"I'm here!" Leper Liu, Wu San, Ma Xianggong and others gathered together and sat at a table, drinking tea at this time, their eyes full of relaxation.

The net has been laid, and what everyone is waiting for is the final decision, the most critical fatal blow.

Today, it's just a formality.

"Has the witness arrived?" Wang Shu asked again.

"Sanchuan Dao people will be here soon!" Ma Xiang said fairly.

As he was talking, a figure walked out of Heyun Building, and at this time he quietly came to the house, looked at everyone in the field, and then his eyes fell on Mrs. Tao, and his eyes showed a touch of burning heat, and he said without a trace: "It's here!"

Then he came to Mrs. Tao and bowed to Mrs. Tao.

"Master, you can't do it!" Madame Tao hurriedly stood up.

"The old man is guilty! Before Tao Xianggong's death, he was the most proud disciple of the old man, but it's a pity...... Although the evidence is ironclad today, I will still be secretly circling for you, whether you can find a chance to get out or not depends on yourself!"

"Thank you, Master!" Mrs. Tao's eyes were rosy when she heard this, she was a woman from a Taoist family, and when she suddenly heard such news, she had already been in a big mess.

Although Yu Qi said that he was completely sure, Mrs. Tao was still uneasy.

"Witnesses, please take their seats!" said the king.

Mikawa nodded and walked to his place.

Looking at the back of Sanchuan Daoren, Yu Qi slowly retracted his gaze, revealing a touch of contemplation.

"Now that the sufferers, witnesses, and people from the Tao family have arrived, let's officially begin!" Wang Shu slowly put down his pen and raised his head to look at Ma Xianggong and the others:

"You said that Tao Xianggong lost money in business, and borrowed debts from you, yes or no?"

"Yes!" said Ma Xiang.

"Do you have any evidence to collect debts from the Tao family?" said the lawyer unhurriedly.

"There is a handwritten document by Tao Xianggong!" Wu San said in a loud voice.

"Bring it on!" said Wang.

Someone picked up the IOU and placed it in front of the three elders, who looked at it carefully with the papers, and were silent for a while.

"Your Excellency is a witness, have you ever witnessed the scene of Tao Xianggong borrowing debts?" Wang Shu looked at the people of Sanshan Dao.

Sanshan Daoren stroked his beard: "I borrowed a debt, but I don't know how much I borrowed." Moreover, I have only seen Tao Xianggong and Ma Xianggong borrowing money, so how could Wu San's generation have such a large amount of money? If there is so much silver, how can he still be idle all day long? Besides, Jingzhou is thousands of miles away from here, and I don't know how Tao Xianggong borrowed money from Wu San and others after losing money in business. ”

"It was borrowed by Tao Xianggong before he set off!" Wu San was not panicked at this time, all of this had been practiced before, but it was just to cooperate with the old guy to win Mrs. Tao's heart: "I dug up an ancient tomb of the former dynasty in the mountains a few years ago, so I accumulated some silver coins. ”

Not only to cooperate with the old Taoist priest to win the heart, but to eliminate this last flaw.

"Besides, there is evidence here, it is Tao Xianggong's handwritten letter, and it can't be fake!"

"The Tao family may provide Ma Xianggong's handwritten letter, come and compare it?" Li Zheng said at this time.

"Yes!" the young man of the Tao family prepared a letter and handed it over.

The three elders and the four of them continued to compare and analyze the letters and IOUs.

After half a ring, I saw that the old man in the middle shook his head: "The handwritten letter is correct, and the handwriting is generally correct." The voucher will be passed down and publicized to all the ministers for notarization. The Tao family can come to identify it, and if there is any objection, feel free to raise it. ”

No matter what you say, the letter is ironclad.

Say a thousand things and ten thousand, the evidence is ironclad, what can you do?

Hearing this, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and there was a hint of surprise in their eyes, and there were small servants holding letters and constantly circulating them in the lobby.

Everyone turned their heads to each other and talked about it.

Although they were far away, Yu Qi's words to everyone were clear and clear, and there was no doubt that all the winds were blowing towards the unfavorable side of the Tao family.

After everyone in the hall finished circulating, the document returned to the three elders, and Li Zhengcai said unhurriedly: "The people of the Tao family stepped forward to make identification!"

"Hum~" Mrs. Tao's brain was blank, her body was a little weak, and she was so quick to hold it up with her pipa hand.

Then the pale face turned to look at Yu Qi at this time, his eyes were full of helplessness and distressing weakness.

Yu Qi shook his head: "It's okay, Madame will come with me to observe the ghost tricks of this generation." ”

The three of them went to the front desk together and met with Zhaodi and Ying'er of the Tao family.

At this time, Zhao Di stepped forward, picked up the paperwork, looked at the familiar paperwork, the familiar handwritten words, and couldn't help but cry out sadly, pinched her thighs suddenly, and tears rolled down her eyes.

The voice was sad, and those who heard it wept.

A fresh breeze blew in the hall, and a tear on Zhao Di's cheek inadvertently slid down the cheeks
