After stealing the divorce book, Princess Salted Fish fell off her horse

The brothers on Pei Wenlang's side said, "It's a loan!"

Pei Wenlang said earnestly: "My lord, even if a villain doesn't know the importance, he dare not give away the imperial gift to others. Not to mention that the villain brothers are originally to preserve the ancestral property for the mighty Marquis Pei's family, those things are not petty things. How dare we dispose of people’s things by ourselves? Even if we dare to dispose of them ourselves, but with the courage of the little people, we dare not give the imperial gifts to others, how can the little people have the qualifications?”

Hearing the words "Imperial gifts", Pei Song and his son's expressions suddenly changed.

It is not surprising that the capital of Xicheng received the complaint before, but Pei Wenlang and the others had a scheming plan. They deliberately broke up with Pei Song and his son just now and never mentioned the imperial gift, but when they said it at this time, they gained the upper hand in an instant !

Pei Song and his son panicked for a moment.

When these people returned to their hometowns, although they went to the clan, they had no roof tiles and half an acre of land.Open the door of convenience for them, can they buy fields and land there so quickly, buy slaves and maidservants?

This is not so much a gift as it is his hard work.

Now that the land and houses have been bought, these people are still settled there, but when they turn around, they want to take back the hard work money they donated at the beginning. Isn't this just putting on their trousers and denying people?
He hadn't been played like this before.

If there is nothing he wants, he is not afraid of the lawsuit going to heaven.

It's not that he is too greedy, the main reason is that these things are so good that they are always valuable.Who would be willing to spit out every item that can be passed down as a family heirloom?
Pei Zefeng kowtowed and said: "My lord, there is absolutely no such thing. Even if we are so courageous, we dare not take what is bestowed by the emperor. That's not what their brothers said at the beginning! When they gave it to my father, they only said it was a small gift. Objects. If it is really a gift from the emperor, it should be offered in front of the hall. Even according to their words, my father asked them out of curiosity, and they knew it was a gift from the emperor, so they shouldn't be so contemptuous, so it can be seen that they are lying!"

Xicheng Dusi understood.

Looking at the twinkling eyes of these people, everyone is harboring evil intentions.They are fighting hard here, but not a single word they can say is credible.

The only thing that is credible is that there are indeed valuable things, not to mention giving or lending, but at that time it was sent to Pei Song and his son by the brothers of the Pei family, which led to the current entanglement.

If it is a gift, Pei Song and his son are not still reasonable.

If it was lent, it is reasonable for Brother Pei Wenlang to ask for it back.

Pei Wenlang and the others were secretly anxious, why is Steward Zhou so unreliable?It is agreed to help them hire a lawyer who will win.

They took out the 50 taels of silver, and now they don't even see the shadow of the lawyer.

Then there was another chatter.

Both sides insist on their own words, and neither has any witnesses.

A yamen servant came over and reported: "My lord, some people outside said that Pei Wenlang and the others invited the litigator, whether to let him in or not is up to your lord to decide!"

I really thought of the lawyer, and the lawyer came.Butler Zhou didn't take their money, which made the Pei Wenlang brothers look happy.

With Bisheng litigator around, they don't have to fight with Pei Song and the others!
Pei Wenlang then said to the hall: "My lord, my brothers and sisters are not good at words, I ask my lord to summon my lawyer to sue on my behalf."

Pei Song and his son: "..."

Ask for a lawyer?
Careless, they should also hire a lawyer.

But they are not afraid, father and son are of the same heart, and their benefits can cut through gold!
Xicheng Dusi said: "Come on!"

It is normal for people who are familiar with the law to act on behalf of ordinary people, but ordinary people cannot afford it!However, such a person must at least have a reputation of being a scholar or above, because below a scholar, one must kneel before the court.It's weird for a litigator to kneel and defend a lawsuit.

What's more, a serious place like the court must be organized.

Therefore, there is a clear regulation in Dongxia that those who have no meritorious reputation shall not become litigators.

And those who have fame and fame all hope to stand out, honor their ancestors, and litigants, at best they are litigators, at worst they are litigators, relying on their mouths to eat, it is insulting to gentleness, who can think of being a litigator?
Therefore, the number of lawyers is small, which also makes their prices very high.

All the people surnamed Pei in the hall stared at the door.

The light was slightly dim, and Zhou Chen walked in.

Pei Wenlang happily wanted to call someone, but he thought that this was the court, and just now Master Du Si had scolded him not to make noise, otherwise he would be punished for yelling at the court, so he held back.

However, they still stretched their necks eagerly to look behind Zhou Chen.

Only Zhou Chen came in, and there was no one behind him.

Pei Wenlang couldn't help but said, "Butler Zhou, where's the litigator?"

Zhou Chen ignored him, he walked into the hall and stood up, cupped his hands in salute, and said: "Your Excellency, you are polite, but Zhou Chen is the lawyer of Pei Wenlang and the others!"

Brother Pei Wenlang: "???"

Pei Song and his son: "???"

Brother Pei Wenlang: "..."

No, our 50 taels of white money was so difficult to get together, the litigator who promised to win.He came in as an imposter, wouldn't his conscience ache?
Their hearts and eyes were full of resistance, and they stared at Zhou Chen directly, like a resentful boudoir woman looking at a heartbroken man who has betrayed them!

Pei Song and his son: "..."

Returning to the litigator?Pooh!
startle them.

Since it is this veteran killer, they are not afraid.

No, although they come from a small place and have little experience, they also know that not everyone can be a lawyer.

A house slave who is a litigator, despises the court, right?

Pei Song immediately said: "My lord, this person is deceiving the officials, pretending to be a lawyer, his status is not worthy at all!"

After he finished speaking, he gave Pei Wenlang and his brothers a contemptuous look, and saw Pei Wenlang's expressions change as expected.

They also remembered that even ordinary civilians are not qualified to be lawyers, let alone domestic slaves?

Xicheng Dusi was slightly taken aback, Jia Dai litigator?Unworthy status?
He said in a deep voice: "Tang Xia Zhou Shen, what is his identity?"

Before Zhou Chen could answer, Pei Zeyong hurriedly said: "My lord, I recognize this person, he is a servant of the mighty Marquis Mansion!"

Xicheng Dusi's face suddenly darkened.

House slave?

Outrageous!

Pei Wenlang and the others were so anxious that their heads were sweating. Zhou Shen came to trick them on purpose, right?

Originally, they defended themselves, and they still had a slight chance of winning.Now Master Dusi thinks that they invite domestic slaves to be litigators. This is because they don't pay attention to the majesty of the yamen and the authority of the officials. It's fine if Zhou Chen can't get out of his body, and he will make them miserable Well, Master Du Si must have a bad impression of them.Even if they were reasonable, in Master Du Si's heart, they became unreasonable!

50 taels of vain money was spent to such a result that Pei Wenlang and his brothers wished they could eat Zhou Chen one bite at a time.

Xicheng Dusi said in a deep voice: "Bold domestic slaves, despise the court, what crime should we have?"

The yamen servant next to him even shouted: "Bold and slavish, why don't you kneel down?"

Not only did Zhou Chen not kneel down, he also didn't show any panic.He cupped his hands and saluted, and said: "Master Du Si, it is true that Bucai is working in the Weiwuhou Mansion. But it is just a job, and Bucai is not a domestic slave, but the steward of the Weiwuhou Mansion!"

Xicheng Dusi said coldly: "Is there any difference?"

Even if the butler is a commoner, he is not qualified to stand here.

"There is a difference, it's very different!" Zhou Chen smiled lightly and said, "There are some things here, please take a look at them, Master Du Si!"

He unhurriedly handed out the things in his hands.

Only the servants next to him presented things to the capital.

Dusi Xicheng took it and looked it over, his expression softened a lot.

The old man in front of the hall was selected as a scholar 40 years ago, so he is a scholar!
He is the steward of the mighty marquis mansion, although the steward of the Gaomen mansion and the servants are basically servants who sign the contract of sale.But the one in front of him is really not, he is free.

In this way, there is nothing to question his identity. No one has stipulated that a scholar cannot be a housekeeper for others?

Then he does not presume to be a litigator.

Thinking of this, the governor of Xicheng glanced at Pei Zeyong lightly. This person didn't know anything, and dared to make loud noises in the courtroom. He was really presumptuous!
Pei Song saw that Zhou Chen handed over some papers. After reading it, Master Du Si was no longer angry?

Does he have another identity?

As for Pei Wenlang and the others, their moods had reached rock bottom at this moment.With a bad look, ready to resign to fate.

They had lost all hope.

Even if Zhou Chen is qualified to be a lawyer, isn't it the same as not having a lawyer?

They are considering how to get the 50 taels back.

Xicheng Dusi said: "Zhou Xiucai, since you want to sue Pei Wenlang and others, then start!"

Zhou Chen said: "My lord, more than ten years ago, the Weiwuhou Mansion attracted strong enemies. In order to protect the foundation of the mansion, Pei Ji, the patriarch of the Weiwuhou Mansion, ordered Pei Wenlang and the five brothers to pretend that there was a quarrel between brothers and brought some of their ancestral property back to their hometown to preserve their strength. Among them, most of the ancestral properties were gifted by the emperor. Now Pei Wenlang and his brothers returned to Beijing to return the ancestral properties, but the old family head Pei Song borrowed 21 items in the name of looking up and gaining blessings, and refused to return them! Please handle them impartially! "

This statement is similar to what Pei Wenlang said before.

After all, Zhou Chen copied the complaint himself, and he knew the inside story of this matter very well.He is not only the litigator for Pei Wenlang and the others, but also the old man of the mighty Marquis Mansion. Now he is stating again, which not only represents the testimony of the witness, but also emphasizes the incident!
But the young miss told him that recovering the things that were swept away in the Hou's mansion is the top priority. Although Pei Wenlang and the others are self-inflicted, they still have to help!
Pei Song and his son said angrily: "Nonsense, there is absolutely no such thing! How can we look up to the saying of being blessed?"

Zhou Chen glanced at him, and said unhurriedly: "What do you mean is that it is a gift from the emperor, and it is not worthy of blessing or admiration for you?"

Pei Song and his son froze for a moment, and they dared not say that they were not worthy of such words, even if they had eight hundred guts. Did it come directly? Why are you talking about a gift from the emperor? Why are you talking about getting it back in the future? Besides, where did you get 21 pieces, only three pieces!"

Pei Wenlang said: "I don't give away more than three pieces alone, uncle, you have to touch your conscience if you lie!"

Pei Zefeng said with flickering eyes: "My lord, this is all their one-sidedness. First of all, it is clearly a gift, but they insisted that it was a loan; secondly, when they gave it back, they didn't say it was a royal gift, but a good thing. , Now it is an excuse of the imperial gift, who knows if it is true or not? Again, this number is all based on their nonsense, where did 21 come from? There are so many, isn't that a lot?"

Now it has fallen into a rather anxious state, the public says the public is right, the mother-in-law says the woman is right, and both sides insist on their own opinions.Since no one has evidence, it is impossible to tell who is true and who is false, or if they are all lies.

Xicheng Dusi also felt bald. He looked down the hall. Both Pei Song and his son and Pei Wenlang's brother were wronged, angry, and unbelievably angry. Du Zhouchen stood on the side, looking confident.

He asked, "You litigator, what can you say?"

Zhou Chen cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I just want to say a few words to Pei Song and his son, please allow me!"

Xicheng Dusi thought to himself, is it necessary to persuade him in court?is that useful?

He has been the capital of the West City for more than three years, what kind of person has he not seen?This kind of person would rather confront Bo in court than take things out.One is that the things may be too good to part with, and the other is that the things have long since disappeared and haven’t come out yet!Of course, there is another possibility, that is, it was really a gift at the time, and I felt that the thing was already my own, and now I want to return it, which is to cut the flesh from myself.

He also wanted to see what the litigator was capable of, so he said, "Yes!"

Pei Song and his son looked at Zhou Chen warily.

They can remember this old killer.

Back then in Pei's mansion, the attitude of this old killer was not good, they wouldn't listen to what he said.Master Du Si is here, can he still be threatened?

They were right about what happened back then, how can there be any reason to return what was sent out?
Zhou Chen smiled slightly, and said to Pei Song and his son: "Several, are you thinking that you were not wrong about what happened back then, and there is no reason to return what was delivered to you?"

Pei Song and his son: "..."

Is this person a roundworm?Know what they are thinking?
But they will never admit it.

Pei Song snorted coldly: "Not at all!"

Zhou Chen said with a smile: "We don't care whether it's a gift or a loan, why don't we reverse it, if it's really a gift from the emperor, whether it's a gift or a loan, can you bear it?"

Pei Song and his son: "..."

They can't stand it!
Zhou Chen said again: "You don't admit the number, and you don't want to return it, because you think Pei Wenlang and the others have no evidence! But what if they have evidence?"

Pei Song and his son snorted inwardly, there is no evidence, how many years has it been?

Zhou Chen said: "You are all smart people, so there is no need to engage in unnecessary disputes here. If you can't write two words of Pei in one stroke, if you still have to return the final result, but make things ugly, then this relative can't bear it." It really can't be done!"

Pei Song and his son scoffed, and still want to impress them with family affection here?
In the face of interests, father and son may not be indifferent, let alone relatives who are from Wufu?
