On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the county government of Changle City surrounded an unknown number of people on three floors and three layers outside. Some people even heard that there was a big case today, and they came from other places to join in the excitement.

"Today, Benzhi County has opened a trial in court on the case of Song Yuan, a person from Tuzhou Duanxuan, who sued Wan Qingxiang, a branch of Wanzhou firm Changle. Sun Yongzhi squinted his eyes at the paper, and then read: "The Lord sues Song Yuan..."

That Song Yuan was arranged by Zhong Qinyao, and it is not clear how capable it is, but at least it can be trusted. saw him salute and responded: "Song Yuan is here." ”

Sun Yongzhi was about to continue, but he heard a noise outside the hall, and the onlookers parted a way to enter the court.

I saw Zhong Qinyao Shi Shi coming, followed by Sun Lao, but he didn't see Zhao Zhen.

"Lord Sun, the concubine should not be in the way when she comes to listen, right?" she said, her voice extremely good.

"Get out of the way, give me a seat. Sun Yongzhi said with a straight face.

Then a servant brought a seat for Zhong Qinyao.

Sun Yongzhi was about to speak again, when he heard a hearty laugh, which came from afar, and said, "Lord Sun, I'm here to bother me too." ”

When the two brothers and sisters of Mu Lanhe visited, Sun Yongzhi did not dare to slack off, and was about to get up to greet him, when he heard him say: "Lord Sun doesn't have to be polite, just treat us as ordinary people." ”

Before the words fell, there was another commotion outside the yamen.

"It seems that General Mu and I want to go together. ”

I saw Sikong Jing leading a few people, and said as he walked: "Since Lord Sun has already entertained a few people, he is not inferior to us, right?"

A strange look flashed in Sun Yongzhi's eyes, and then he said politely: "Where is Lord Sikong?" ”

His gaze fell on the two people beside Sikong Jing and asked, "These two are..."

"In the lower Tianyan Dao, Luo Yuzhi. ”

"In the Lower Heavenly Path, Feng Yu. ”

Sun Yongzhi's face remained unchanged, but he was slightly surprised in his heart. He had heard of this Feng Yu's name, but he was the second-in-command of Tianyan Dao. It is impossible for such a character to walk together with the guardian of Chaotian Pavilion to observe this case.

Su Yi quietly moved behind Zhong Qinyao at this time, and said in a low voice: "Everyone Yao, you want to come to listen, why didn't you say hello to me." ”

Zhong Qinyao was closing her eyes and recuperating, without looking back, and said softly, "Really, didn't I tell you?"

"Nope. ”

"Then you know it now. ”

Su Yi was helpless, and asked again: "Why did so many big people suddenly appear?"

"Big shot, who?" Zhong Qinyao wondered.

"Mu Lanhe, Sikong Jing, doesn't count?"

"It's okay, barely..."

"That's right. Su Yi suddenly came to his senses and said, "Everyone in Yao usually deals with adults at the level of Shangshu and the rank of the second rank, so it's no wonder that they look down on General Mu, a small captain. However, for a grass man like me, the Governor is already a great official. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I don't look down on Mu Lanhe. Zhong Qinyao said coldly, "But it is surprising that the people of Chaotian Pavilion will come today, and the purpose must not be simple." ”

"Did you see the two people next to the old thief? Luo Yuzhi and Feng Yu of Tianyan Dao. Luo Yuzhi is a little minion, don't mention it. But Feng Yu, you must know that he is the second master of Tianyan Dao, and his cultivation is very high. I know you're not afraid of him, but if you weren't alone, would you still have that confidence?"

Su Yi was surprised by her affirmation of her strength, and said curiously: "Yao, everyone thinks so highly of me?"

"If you don't have this strength, will I still work with you? Do you think I have a problem with my brain, or do I have a problem with my vision? ”

Su Yi was silent, and Zhong Qinyao continued: "There is another person you need to pay more attention to, you look at the other side." ”

Su Yi's gaze fell on the onlookers on the other side.

I heard Zhong Qinyao say again: "The man in the blue shirt and with a long beard." His eyes have been wandering on Wan Qingxiang, if I guess correctly, he is the person sent from above. It is very likely that he will hold the power of abandonment or preservation of Wan Qingxiang in the palm of his hand. ”

"You guessed?"

"I've only seen two sides of this person, and it's in the capital. He's here, and I'm not sure I'm right, but there's no other explanation, isn't it?"

Su Yi nodded slightly, and couldn't help but glance at the middle-aged man in the green shirt a few more times.

One after another, people came to disturb him, Sun Yongzhi simply stopped, and only after no big people appeared did he continue: "Defendant Wan Qingxiang. ”

"The grass people are here. Wan Qingxiang responded.

Sun Yongzhi was about to speak, but he interrupted again: "Master Sun, I am the eye of the scientific examination in the year of Gengzi. ”

After he reminded him, Sun Yongzhi frowned and was silent for a long time, and then seemed to be very reluctant to say: "Come on, give me a seat." ”

Wan Qingxiang sat down beautifully, looking like he was in his own hall.

This time it caused an uproar.

Su Yi was also puzzled: "What is the principle of this?"

"The scientific examination lifts people up, and the officials do not kneel. Those who are in the top three will be given a seat. He has such treatment, but it is also decent. Zhong Qinyao explained, "But what I didn't expect was that this fat man was still a role model." He didn't get into the high school list, but he went to the sea to do business, and he was really a strange person. ”

"Master Wan, do you have any other orders?" Rao is Sun Yongzhi was calm, and he couldn't help but sneer. Half of it was out of disdain for Wan Qingxiang as a role model who did not make contributions, but fell into the pile of money.

Wan Qingxiang didn't care, and said calmly: "Lord Sun is polite, please start quickly." ”

Sun Yongzhi glanced at him, and then fell down in shock, as if to vent his dissatisfaction, and shouted loudly: "Sheng-Tang-"

When the officials heard this, they waved the water and fire sticks in their hands and stopped the court. The onlookers are outside, and the people with the case are inside.

Sun Yongzhi cleared his throat and said, "The plaintiff Song Yuan sued Wan Qingxiang, and there are two culpabilities. ”

"One is to commit human trafficking in the name of doing business, and to commit the crime of selling for less. ”

"The second is to kill Zhang Xiaoyun of the Beiyue clan and commit murder. ”

As soon as the words fell, a heated discussion broke out inside and outside the yamen, and what was inaudible outside had already been spread from inside. Maybe in half a day, this matter will spread throughout Changle City.

These two charges are extremely large, Mu Lanhe and Sikong Jing both frowned, only Zhong Qinyao and Su Yi and others, who had already known, looked calm.

"Plaintiff Song Yuan, do you have anything to add?" Sun Yongzhi said again.

"My lord," Song Yuan said, "all what the grass people want to say is written in the paper." ”

"So, defendant Wan Qingxiang, how do you defend yourself?"
