Chapter 38

"Wei Chen respectfully obeys His Majesty's will, and the minister retires. In the imperial garden, Li Chongde, the head of the household, retreated.

"Gao Xian, is there any news about Liu Zhongshu?" Xiao Shiyu beckoned to Gao Xian behind him.

"Back to Your Majesty, Si Zhongwei has recently searched with all the strength of the whole mansion, and he has searched Jinling City but has not found Liu Zhongshu. Gao Xian whispered in Xiao Shiyu's ear.

"Tell Si Zhongwei that you don't have to look for it. Xiao Shiyu put the dishes in his hand in the tray held by the waiter beside him: "I think when the time comes, Lord Zhongshu will appear." ”

"Yes. Gao Xian responded.

In the Juyou Building, I saw that on the red platform in the hall on the first floor, a graceful girl gently moved the lotus step and saluted everyone in the hall. Her 3,000 green silk reaches to her waist like a waterfall, wearing a red skirt embroidered with a phoenix with gold thread, holding a simple gray wood pipa in her arms, her fresh and delicate face is always filled with a smile that makes people feel like a spring breeze, but from time to time there is a trace of agility in her smile.

The clear water-like singing voice, accompanied by the notes drawn by her slender jade fingers between the pipa strings, spread to every corner of the building, making people listen to it as if they were fascinated.

"This sister plays and sings so well. Liu Ningshi was proficient in music, and was immediately attracted by this beautiful music: "Brother Xiangyun, you said that if I use the flying phoenix zither to play a song with this sister, will it cause a sensation in this Jinling City." ”

"Well, if you two play together, I guess this news will make it to the royal palace. Although Tong Bo was responding to Liu Ningshi, he lost his mind for a moment: "This girl is really like Yue'er." ”

"Xiangyun, Miss Liu, don't sigh at the two of you, call me here in a hurry, and you'll be in the mood to discuss music here. The fat boy glared at Tong Bo and Liu Ningshi angrily.

"Hmph, the fat brother is really boring, such a beautiful piece of music is certainly worth mentioning. Liu Ningshi pouted unhappily.

"Ahem. Tong Bo coughed lightly and played in the round: "Master Su, we need to get a lawyer's guide, I don't know what a good way to do it?"

"Xiangyun, you're asking the right person. The fat young man pointed with his hand with a smug face: "Look at the few people in that seat, they are all famous lawyers in this Jinling City, as long as any of them are used as a guarantee to provide evidence." ”

"Fat brother, looking at the high-spirited appearance of those people, it is not easy for him to be a guarantor. Liu Ningshi's face was full of worry.

"Yes, their threshold is extremely high, and those who seek quotation must first have enough fame in this Jinling City, and secondly, a quotation requires fifty taels of silver. The fat boy sighed with both hands and looked at Tong Bo with a gloating expression.

"What? fifty taels?" Tong Bo really didn't calm down: "I only have twenty-four taels of silver a year, how can I have so much silver; Miss Liu, you see。。。。。。 ”

"Neither did I. Liu Ningshi's head shook like a rattle: "It's not that you don't know where all the money you won before was used." ”

"Young Master Liu, don't you want to scare them as a scholar. As soon as Tong Bo mentioned silver, he began to have bad ideas.

"Well, it's a good idea, but it's not good that the scholar doesn't have a follower. Liu Ningshi smiled evilly: "Brother Xiangyun will pretend to be my follower." ”

"This little girl actually took the opportunity to take advantage of me. Tong Bo glanced at the fat boy and said with a smile: "That's right, but only one of the scholars in the hall has a follower who can lose face; ”

"I'm going! Why do you want to pull me?" the fat boy scolded the mother in his heart, but he had to pretend to be very happy on the surface: "It is an honor to be able to escort the son of the Chinese scholar." ”

"Below is Liu Cheng, the second son of Liu Zhongshu, who wants to ask you for a lawyer's reference; Liu Ningshi and the other three came to the four lawyers one after another.

"Go, go, go! What is the second son of the Chinese book, we don't know. The lawyer on the east side of the table did not look at them, but drank tea and listened to music with the other three.

"Below is Tong Bo, the guard of the Jingwei Mansion, who escorted Liu Gongzi here just to get a lawyer's reference, and I also ask you to give face. Tong Bo put one palm on the tabletop and silently exerted internal force, shaking the tabletop trembling.

"Friend, Kung Fu is very good. The lawyer located in the west snorted coldly: "However, this is the Su family's industry, not a place where anyone can spread wild, if you don't leave, don't blame us for calling people." ”

"Su family?" Liu Ningshi was surprised: "Which Su family are you talking about?"

"Which Su family else can have in the business world in Jinling City? A few lonely and unheard of people who dare to be a scholar in middle school, it's really a joke. The lawyer on the south side laughed at them.

"No wonder the people and layout here have changed, it turns out that this place has been sold to the Su family. Tong Bo and Liu Ningshi looked at the fat boy in unison.

"What are you all looking at me? I don't know when this became my family's property. The fat boy roared: "Little Er, call your shopkeeper to see me." ”

"Who wants to see me?" After a while, a middle-aged man in a slightly chubby costume walked over with a sway: "Third Young Master, why are you here?"

"Shopkeeper Qiu, is it really you?" the fat boy shouted, "What's the matter, when did you tell me when this place became my family's property?"

"Third Young Master, this is bought by Miss Rufeng. "This enemy shopkeeper is born with a smiling face, and he is very suitable to be a shopkeeper, and the so-called harmony makes money is this truth.

"Hahaha! Who should I be? It turned out to be the third son of the Su family, Su Ruhai!" The lawyer located in the south began to show his mean mouth again: "I heard that all the properties under the name of the third son of the Su family are taken care of by Gong Rufeng, and he himself is just a gentleman who can only eat, drink and have fun." ”

"Hahaha. The other three lawyers burst into laughter.

"Do you have the courage to say it again?" Su Ruhai, who has always been good-tempered, was full of chill at the moment, pointed at the southern lawyer with his right hand, and clenched his left hand tightly into a fist.

"What if I say it?" The lawyer in the south looked fearless: "Do you dare to beat me?"

"Young master, no, if these lawyers are beaten here, and it is the Su family who beats people, I am afraid that the family rules will be broken. Shopkeeper Qiu tightly grabbed Su Ruhai's clenched fist and whispered in his ear.

"Brother Xiangyun, who is this palace like wind, you see that the fat brother's face changed when he heard this name. Liu Ningshi whispered to Tong Bo.

"Gong Rufeng is the eldest daughter of the Gong family of the Gong family, and she is also the daughter-in-law of Su Gongzi who has been married but has not passed the door. Tong Bo also whispered: "It is rumored that this palace is like the wind, not only has the appearance of a sinking fish and a wild goose, and the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon, but also this business wizard; since he managed Su Gongzi's industry, he has tripled the scale of his business, which is deeply loved by the head of the Su family; the only problem is that he is very strong and has a big temper. ”

"That fat brother is really pitiful. Liu Ningshi didn't know why she was a little sympathetic to Su Ruhai: "I won't tease him again in the future." ”

"Shhhh Tong Bo put a finger to his mouth.

"Second, the two sons, look at your appearance, you are looking for a lawyer to lead and run into a wall. "I don't know when there will be an extra man behind Tong and Liu.

Tong Bo turned to see that the man was dressed in a dark green robe, with a slightly raised hairline, making his forehead appear larger, and his figure was lean and well-developed, looking more like a warrior than a lawyer.

"What, do you have a lawyer?" Liu Ningshi asked as she looked at the man.

"Yes, of course!" the lean man seemed to stutter a little: "Just see, see how much silver you can come up with?"

"Brother Tai is really refreshing, I like this sex of you. Tong Bo patted the shoulder of the capable man: "How about going to our table and talking?"

"Fat brother, someone wants to sell it to us, you can also come and see. Liu Ningshi pulled the sleeve of Lasu Ruhai.

The three of them returned to their original seats, Su Ruhai was still angry just now, and glared at the capable man with an unhappy face: "Is it that you want to sell it?" take it out and show it to Su Ye." ”

"Yes, we have to take a look at the goods first!, or how do you know if you are lying to us?" Liu Ningshi on the side helped.

"That's, that's nature. The capable man took out a brand-new scroll from his bosom: "This, this is it, there is the official seal of the Criminal Department and the signature of Zhou Ling, the lawyer and lawyer." ”

"There's nothing wrong with the official seal of the Criminal Department?" Su Ruhai grabbed the scroll and looked at it carefully: "But why haven't I heard of the name Zhou Ling?

"Contemptible people are Zhou and Zhou Ling!" The capable man pointed at himself proudly: "Just recently, the contemptible and contemptible people have just passed the examination and assessment of the Criminal Department and obtained the qualification of lawyer. ”

"You, lawyer?" Su Ruhai looked disdainful and wanted to continue to sarcastically mock this man, but was interrupted by Tong Bo in a timely manner: "Brother Tai, make a price." ”

"Five, five taels of silver. The lean man held out five fingers.

"It's a reasonable asking price. Tong Bo smiled and took the voucher and looked at it, and then took out two taels of silver from his bosom and threw it to the capable man: "I don't know if this voucher is true or not, these two taels of silver are deposits; ”

"Okay! The capable man took the silver, put it to his mouth and bit it, and a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Farewell, farewell." ”

"Brother Xiangyun, do you believe in him like that?" Liu Ningshi looked worried: "What if this quote can't be used?"

"Xiangyun, is it not like you to be so reckless?" Su Ruhai was also worried.

"Master Su, you just said that the official seal of the Criminal Department is true, isn't it?" Tong Bo took a sip of tea comfortably.

"Yes, so what?" Su Ruhai shook his head: "If this Zhou Ling's signature does not have the qualifications to issue a citation, then your two taels of silver will be wasted." ”

"The person who takes the initiative to deliver it to the door is never worth much, of course I will keep a hand. Tong Bo put down the teacup, and a wicked smile appeared in his eyes: "Go back to the little ghost first to identify the evidence, this person will come to me anyway." ”

"Third son, the master told you to go home quickly. After a person who looked like a subordinate came in from outside the door and said a few words to the shopkeeper Qiu, the shopkeeper Qiu came forward and whispered in Su Ruhai's ear.
