Chapter 65
Early in the morning, just as Hua Rujin woke up from her sleep, she heard a hasty knock on the door outside the courtyard.

She got up quickly and changed into clean clothes. After finishing her makeup, she went out and saw a group of people sitting in front of the stone table in the outer courtyard. Cai Baiwei was greeting everyone with tea.

Hua Rujin was the first to spot her cousin Ruya and county government official Lu Xiuyuan among the crowd.

"Cousin, did you sleep well last night?"

When Shu Jinxuan saw her coming out of the inner courtyard, she greeted her with joy.

"pretty good."

Hua Rujin answered casually, and inadvertently saw a pair of black panda eyes on Cousin Ruya's face, and frowned immediately: "What's wrong with Cousin?"

Could it be that he was beaten by someone?

"fine."

Thinking of staring at the courtyard at the opposite inn all night without daring to blink, Cousin Ruya smiled embarrassingly, and then pretended to be relaxed and replied: "I think I drank a few more glasses of rice wine at Jinhu Tower yesterday. , drowsiness, not sleeping well."

"I see."

Hua Rujin guessed that he was lying, but did not expose him.

The person who drank the wine should be more sleepy, why did he toss and turn instead.

While the two were talking, Lu Xiuyuan also brought Han Qiu and Han Dong brothers over.

He bowed his hands to Hua Rujin as a salute, and did not mention the fact that the county magistrate asked the Han brothers to come to ask for help. He coaxed without blushing and heartbeat: "I led the guards to search for the assassin in the south of the city, and ran into Han Chun. My two younger brothers, they said that they wanted to come to Miss Xunhua to complain for their elder brother, so I came along along the way, just leading a few of them to the county government."

Hua Rujin squinted her phoenix eyes and glanced lightly at the two behind Lu Xiuyuan. She knew that they came here for the lawsuit that Ye Chengwei mentioned yesterday, but she pretended to be ignorant and asked, "What about that?" Please tell me, let’s see what I can do for you.”

Han Qiu and Han Dong looked at each other in dismay, but they didn't dare to speak, their hearts were full of concerns.

Although the county magistrate mentioned yesterday that the woman in front of me was fighting with the magistrate, there has never been a precedent for a woman to go to court to defend someone in Jiangling City. Even the famous He Shiyin just wrote a few papers on behalf of others. , and the asking price is not cheap.

They seem to have no bottom in their hearts.

Seeing this, Lu Xiuyuan hurriedly urged, "Talk to Ms. Hua quickly, if even she can't help your brother, are you still pointing to those people in Jiangling City to make decisions for you?"

Everyone knows this well.

Whether it's the four famous mouthpieces or He Shiyin, they all litigate for the rich, and they often cost thousands of taels of money to retouch their pens.

Moreover, the current case is no longer able to turn things around with a single complaint and a few clever arguments to persuade the magistrate and the state government to reverse the case.

The ins and outs of the matter must be clarified, otherwise the whole case will only become an unsolved case.

Although Lu Xiuyuan didn't say it clearly, he knew in his heart why Ye Zhixian chose Ms. Hua's family:
One is to value her ability that has been highlighted in these few incidents;

Furthermore, I'm afraid I have some selfish intentions.

After all, Miss Hua came out of the Dou family and became a widow at a young age. Life was not easy.

It is much better for a newcomer to stand out than those old fritters who have no conscience and only want money to have a good time between the government and the criminals.

Under Lu Xiuyuan's urging, Han Qiu and Han Dong finally opened their mouths and told the whole story again.

Hua Rujin had already come to a conclusion on this case, and what the Han brothers said was just a formality for her.

But after listening to their narration, she learned more details, which made her more convinced that there was something wrong with the Zhang family brothers.

Immediately looking at Lu Xiuyuan and the Han brothers, she said firmly, "I believe that Han Chun did not kill anyone, and he has not received any expert advice."

Although Lu Xiuyuan had already realized that he was beating people into tricks, he was still full of confusion: "How did Miss Hua determine that Han Chun is not the murderer?"

"First, if he killed someone, since he has chosen to transport the body to Dou's house, why did he hide Zhang Yuan's head?"

Hua Rujin said carefully: "Secondly, he has already pleaded guilty, why he refuses to reveal the place where the head is hidden, if there is really an expert pointing it out, he should grit his teeth and refuse to admit it, anyway, the government can't find the whole place The corpse can't do anything to him, why should he give the government a reason to convict him."

This is also a shortcoming in the investigation of murder cases in this era. The identity of the deceased cannot be confirmed through clues such as DNA and fingerprints. Only a complete body and all the evidence of the murderer can be found to convict the person.

The more Lu Xiuyuan listened, the more he felt something was wrong.

That day, after Han Chun was tortured to extract a confession, he was willing to confess that he had killed someone, but after beating him to the brink of death, he couldn't tell where the head was.

It can be seen that this person really does not know the whereabouts of Zhang Yuan's head.

"What Miss Hua said, what should I do next?"

Lu Xiuyuan asked cautiously.

Hua Rujin frowned and thought for a while: "Submit a complaint, go to the county government office, and pass it on to the Zhang family brothers."

"Good."

Lu Xiuyuan smiled and immediately handed over the pens, inks, papers and inkstones prepared by the guards: "I will grind ink for Miss Hua myself."

Looking at the paper he spread out, Hua Rujin paused slightly:
The Master Classic History was very well prepared.

Moreover, the pleading paper in front of her was not the complaint she had written on white paper in the noodle shop that day. The pleading paper was full of neat grids and had a fixed format.

Some commonly used characters such as the name and age of the plaintiff have been printed in the pleading form in advance, and you only need to fill in the form according to the format.

She looked at the column stating the reason for the complaint in the middle, hesitating to start writing, but Han Qiu hurriedly asked worriedly from the side: "I have heard of Miss Hua's name, but I don't know how Miss Hua will collect money for the lawsuit?"

Although the two brothers are looking forward to getting their elder brother out of prison, if she is as black-hearted as those well-known lawyers in Jiangling City, she may not be able to pay the fee even if she sells her sons and daughters with the meager wealth of the family.

Seeing the embarrassment on the faces of the two brothers, Hua Rujin smiled: "Five taels of silver for one word."

"Miss Hua's price is indeed fair."

The two brothers nodded suspiciously.

As far as this price is concerned, it cannot be lowered in the court of litigators. They can bring a case back to life with just a few figures. Writing a long-winded complaint will still bankrupt a person.

Just as Han Qiu was hesitating, Han Dong suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Miss Hua, don't worry about writing this paper of complaint. As long as my elder brother can be rescued, I will pay the money even if it is a waste of money."

Han Qiu wanted to stop him, but Han Dong immediately stopped him.

Seeing the twitching movements of the two brothers, Hua Rujin contemplated for a moment, and suddenly began to write quickly on the pleading paper with a quick mind.

But every time a word was written, the hearts of the brothers of the Han family followed her strokes one after another, and they were constantly being hit by heavy objects like a turbulent wave hitting the shore.

In the blink of an eye, Hua Rujin put down the brush in her hand, and pushed the complaint to Lu Xiuyuan.

Looking at the short complaint, the brothers of the Han family were all surprised: "Just eight words?"

"Just eight words." Hua Rujin nodded calmly.
