Chapter 7
He straightened his clothes quickly, only opened his eyes when he saw Cai Baiwei, Hua Rujin didn't bother to help her, and hurried out first.

Opening the door, thinking about her submissive temperament, she hurriedly said: "Aniang will stay in the room to take care of You En and Mu Yang, I'll go out and have a look."

In this way, the emergency was avoided, and she cried and begged that old lady Hu Nanxi to make decisions and add trouble to herself.

After closing the door quickly, Hua Rujin walked out of the courtyard while turning her head to look at the situation at the east end of the courtyard. Seeing that the servants of the Shu family were still guarding the door of the thatched cottage, she went to the main room with peace of mind.

As soon as I arrived at the outer courtyard, I saw a group of officials coming in from outside the fence, and the entrance of the thatched cottage was already full of people, all discussing around Hua Junnian and Shu Jinxuan:

"The Dou family is too deceitful. The family raised such a shameless thing, and shamelessly held the young lady to observe the festival for his short-lived son. It's really ridiculous. It's not obvious that it is driving people to death."

"Don't worry, Liu Ye and Mr. Shu's family. I'm willing to fight for the third young lady in court and help her get rid of the clutches of the Dou family."

Looking at the attire of this group of people, and the appearance of each scholar, Hua Rujin immediately understood their purpose:
It turned out that he had come to get a job.

Since the founding of the Daye Dynasty, in order to reduce unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, large-scale litigation has been promoted, which has made the industry of litigators develop unprecedentedly. Many talented scholars or scholars who have failed to rank have rushed into this industry.

But these days, elementary education has not been popularized yet, and there are only a handful of scholars, even if all of them participate, it will be too busy. In addition, in recent years, the imperial court has internal and external troubles, and the county government has insufficient manpower. The county magistrates have to lower the standard again. Those who have stated the facts in the book can undertake the lawsuit.

For this reason, every day near the county government, there are many clever mouths who are here to "live on the job". Their noses are smarter than dogs in order to grab jobs.

As soon as Hua Rujin showed up, several people flocked over, smilingly cupped their hands and said, "This must be the third young lady, no, it's Miss Hua's family. I feel very sympathetic to Miss Hua's experience, and I hope that you will be able to take care of Miss Hua." Win this case."

Looking at the earnest faces, Hua Rujin said: Can it be free?

Subconsciously touched the empty purse, let alone no money, even if there is some money to ask someone to file a lawsuit, he dare not be careless.

If you meet an unscrupulous litigator, you will have to waste money in vain, let alone win the lawsuit.

"Thank you for your kindness."

Hua Rujin said politely, thinking that these people must have heard the news from the servants on duty in the county government office, and looked around at the people who came in while replying, but except for the officials and the lawyers who took jobs, There was no sign of the great benevolent person from the Dou family at all.

Even the father and son Hua Junxu and Hua Chengan who went to the county government to report the case were also missing, which is strange.

While he was thinking, he suddenly heard a harsh voice coming from outside:
"It's really a bad world, and you are now bowing your knees to a corporal for an immoral woman. It's really insulting to the decency of a scholar."

As soon as the words fell, a group of men, women and children dressed in sackcloth and filial piety poured in from outside the fenced courtyard.

There were about a dozen people who came, and as soon as they entered the door, they went straight to Hua Rujin, and before everyone could react, they knelt down on the ground and prayed loudly:
"I respectfully invite the third young lady to be buried in peace, and to ascend to bliss early."

Facing this group of "filial sons and virtuous grandchildren" who came suddenly, Hua Rujin was so frightened that Liu Mei frowned slightly, and her expression was taken aback:
Aunt Fang was forced to be buried as a human being when she was sixteen years old, how can she be buried in the earth for peace?

At most, it is a death.

She hesitated and raised her eyes to look at the person who was speaking, and saw that it was a gentle-looking young man who walked in accompanied by Hua Junxu, Hua Chengan and his son:
"In Xiajiangling City, Gu Langxi was specially entrusted by Dou Yuanwai to come here to take care of the trivial matters at home for the old man. Please don't make things difficult for him."

Hearing Gu Langxi's name, the yard suddenly exploded:

"I didn't expect the Dou family to invite Mr. Gu."

Hearing these words, Hua Rujin couldn't help but tremble in her heart.

She has a lot of impressions about Gu Langxi's name. This person is one of the four famous mouths in Jiangling City. He is known as the most profitable young litigator in Jiangling City. Any case that is handled by him can be said to be black. Never lost a lawsuit.

It seems that the Dou family has spent a lot of money this time.

However, Dou Yuancheng's matter was already settled, even if the current emperor was invited, he would not dare to show favoritism openly.

Unless, the Dou family doesn't want this son anymore.

Seeing people from Dou's family coming, Shu Jinxuan and Hua Junnian hurriedly escorted Hua Rujin.

After hearing the movement outside, the servants of the Shu family allowed the Dou family to bring Dou Yuancheng out.

Hu Nanxi and Cai Baiwei's mother and son followed closely behind, and Hu Nanxi kept apologizing: "Second son, even though there is something wrong with this little villain in my family, it is true that you are rude first, and I hope that you will not remember the villain's mistakes. Don't be jealous when you go back to the mansion, and uncle and aunt will get along well in the future."

Dou Yuancheng was so angry that he didn't have the heart to talk to the old woman, and was limped into the crowd by the old nuns, without a trace of shame on his face.

Seeing that the person who came to pick him up was Gu Langxi, he finally felt relieved after being wronged and depressed all night.

He stared at Dazzling Rujin viciously, wanted to curse but didn't dare to use too much force, a little bit of strength would easily pull his crotch.

He had no choice but to swallow the bad breath forcefully, and begged Gu Langxi: "Young master Gu, you came just in time, this little bitch from the Hua family is so domineering, she will hurt me like this, hurry up and let the officials put her in prison, I want Let their whole family have to go and die for my third brother."

"Second Young Master Dou, you really can't tell the difference, this Jiangling City is not your Dou family's final say."

Shu Jinxuan glared at Dou Yuancheng angrily, looked at Gu Langxi, and said solemnly: "Man, you can take it away, but you have to show the divorce contract and apologize to the Hua family."

However, Gu Langxi turned a deaf ear to the officials who had not spoken all the time, cupped his hands to the leader and said:
"My lord Dian Shi, Dou Yuanwai was frightened last night, so it is inconvenient to come here in person. Before leaving, I specially explained to you that the second son disregarded the rules of etiquette and committed such scandalous things that violated the law and humiliated the family. My lord, send people to prison and deal with them according to the law."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned:

"According to the law?"

"That's a felony with a court staff of one hundred and three thousand miles. Dou Yuanwai is really just and strict. He deserves to be a celebrity who has been honored by Liuzhi County."

For a while, those lawyers who wanted to take advantage of this matter to earn money from the Hua family backed down one after another, and began to compliment Dou Yuanwai.

Hua Rujin sighed when she heard it:
What a great righteousness to kill relatives.

How much enmity is this, that even my own son is willing to give up but insists on dragging me to be buried in place of Dou Sanlang?

Looking back on the past of the two families, it seems that there is no dispute between the two families.

What kind of conspiracy is this old guy hiding?
At this time, Dou Yuancheng was so frightened that his legs became weak.

He thought he was coming to save the soldiers, but he never thought that he was here to make trouble. He was so angry that he glared at Gu Langxi, endured the severe pain in his crotch, and cursed: "Gu Langxi, what kind of mind do you have? You have no vengeance, why did you come to harm me, how could my father not care about my life?"

"Second Young Master calm down, I'm just telling your father what he said truthfully."

Gu Langxi replied calmly with a solemn expression.

The kneeling old butler also burst into tears: "Second son, it's not that Mr. Gu refused to rescue him. The master said that you made a big mistake and you can't blame others, but the soul of the third son has to be appeased. After you left last night, the house has been restless. We all saw the third young master appearing in the mansion with our own eyes, so he must be complaining that the master did not follow his last wish and let the young lady be buried for him."

"Impossible, I never frightened my father."

Dou Yuancheng panicked immediately, but as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Looking at the strange eyes cast around him, I was terrified.

It's just that at this juncture, he has nothing to hide anymore, he gritted his teeth and told the truth: "I did pretend to be a ghost to scare my younger brothers and sisters, but I have been stuck here since I came to Hua's house last night. How can I go back and scare my father?"

"What, it was the Second Young Master who pretended to be a ghost in my house last night?"

Hu Nanxi was so angry that she scolded her mother in her heart.

This dog frightened the whole family so much that they didn't dare to turn off the lights last night. It's really a pervert.

But after all, it's not from her own family, and it's not easy for her to teach her a lesson in front of Dou's family, so she can only shake her head helplessly: "What a nonsense."

Glancing at Hua Rujin from the corner of the eye, seeing that the dead girl was as calm as a normal person, she suddenly understood: I'm afraid she knew everything a long time ago and deliberately lured Dou Erlang into the bait.

This girl has become vicious and ruthless now, and fear gradually grew in her eyes.

At this time, Hua Rujin's thoughts are no longer on Dou Yuancheng:
This pervert was indeed guarded tightly in the yard last night, so how could the Dou family's mansion be haunted again?
