Yan Cigui.

British government.

It was dark at night, but the lights in the study were still on.

Mr. Ying sat behind the desk, his brows were full of exhaustion, listening to his sons discussing with each other.

"The accident that happened during the tug-of-war was not intentional. I have already talked with Li Yuanfa's family. As long as the amount of compensation is determined, we will give money to make it easier. His family is willing to issue a letter of understanding."

"Then Li Yuanfa didn't know how to find Liuguo Hutong. To put it bluntly, his life is bad. He died, leaving his family without a pillar, and let his fourth brother suffer a lawsuit. All parties lost."

"It's a pity that the story of the outer room has spread, and our family's face is not good."

"When it's over, pick a date and bring the mother and son into the mansion. Since the news has spread, there's no reason to keep them outside."

"The Shuntian Mansion is also dead-headed. It is obvious that this case has finally turned into a trivial matter, but it still detains people. I will go there again tomorrow and take a closer look at Li Yuanfa's previous confession. What is the name of a businessman? His surname is Xi, right? Throw him some money and let him figure out how to talk in the yamen."

"If you want to say something good, say it well. When you go to Shuntian Mansion, don't be arrogant. Didn't you see Xu Guogong's mansion gesticulating in it? Was Shan Shen involved in this ruthless person? A lesson from the past, that Shan is not a mud-faced man."

"Why did the Holy Majesty send Xu Jian to sit in court? He knows how to judge cases at such a young age!"

"I have to find something for him to do, right? According to me, it's enough to give him a polite confession. It's still the same sentence, don't learn from Xu Guogong. If you offend Shan Shen, you will be scolded miserably, and you will go to Xu who is watching the excitement." Jane, still didn't take advantage of it."

"Brother's words are reasonable. Xu Jian was only watching the fun at that time, but now he is sitting in the yamen after all, so it's better not to mess with him."

"Brother, what gold bricks did Li Yuanfa talk about? Is there such a thing?"

Zhu Chi, the eldest son of the British Duke, looked puzzled, and turned to look at his old father.

The old father's face was darker than the night.

"I haven't heard of it. Who knows what kind of people the fourth brother has befriended outside," Zhu Chi said, and then asked the British Duke, "Father, have you heard about the fourth brother?"

The British Duke tightened his mouth and shook his head slowly.

Zhu Chi saw it in his eyes, and his doubts in his heart increased a little.

His intuition told him that his father was not telling the truth.

"I'm going to Shuntian Mansion tomorrow, are you going?" He asked again.

The British Duke was silent for a while, and said: "The old man went over, it's not appropriate to be too serious, Shan Shen may still find the old man annoying.

But you guys are too courteous, you won't get any advantage in Shan Shen's hands.

It should be heavier.

Remember, you are here to reason, not to kowtow to make amends, as long as you don't follow Xu Guogong's way of pointing fingers. "

Zhu Chi asked: "Shan Shenruo read another book..."

"Your Majesty, I'm going to find a way." The British Duke pointed to the study room. "Tomorrow, I'll report the crime first. I'll go to the imperial study to talk to the Holy Majesty about the situation."

Zhu Chi and his brothers nodded, and said "Thanks for your hard work, father".

After all, the old father had already been scolded in the imperial study, so it would be boring for Shan Shen to participate in the book again.

Send the two younger brothers out of the study, and Zhu Chi stays to serve the British Duke.

Trembling with the tip of his pen, the British Duke finished writing a note of "fear and panic". After putting down the pen, his face was still ugly, but there was no sign of worry.

"Is there anything else you want to order?" Zhu Chi asked.

"As I get older, I always think more," Britain said fairly, "don't worry, I'm afraid I'm going to lose everything."

After dismissing his son, the British Duke closed his clothes on the couch and took a nap.

When the time came, he went out to court.

After entering the court room, there were a lot of greetings, and some familiar people came over to inquire about the situation carefully.

"Although it was said to be caused by an accident, it was a fatality after all. Let him calm down in the yamen for a few days, it should be."

"The one raised outside, alas, the fourth child is a fool and does foolish things!"

"Hey, how can it be said that it is justifiable? My daughter-in-law has been ill for a long time, but this is by no means the reason for him to keep an outside room. Even if he wants a warm and cold person by his side, he needs to tell his parents and his wife. His father-in-law's family must do things in accordance with the regulations and be justified, what is it like now!"

"The old man knows your good intentions, but don't speak for that unworthy son, the old man's face is so ashamed for him! After a while, the old man will go to the Holy Majesty to apologize for not raising his son well, the old man is at fault!"

Outside the door, Xu Jian stood there for a while.

The British Duke's words fell into his ears verbatim.

On the side, Shan Shen, who was a step late, listened halfway, without showing any emotions on his face, and only gave Xu Jian a thumbs up with his tucked hand.

It seems that Fuguo Gong thought it through.

Duke Fu Guo told him last night that the Duke of England must take the lead this morning and go to the Holy Majesty to cry miserably.

After all, it is a one-stop process of admitting mistakes, guilt, and crying bitterly. Relying on his age, he knelt outside the imperial study for an hour, and then was helped back tremblingly. In the life lawsuit, Zhu Cheng really wants to do something.

Once the sage reveals his intentions, it is logical that it will be difficult for them to search down in Shuntian Mansion.

The Holy Majesty doesn't want to investigate more, they are like dogs picking up mice, what kind of thing is it?
Even though the confession is rich, it lacks evidence!

Forbidden books, there are only things without their origins; the king's servants are missing;

Rely on the confession of Mrs. Wang?

Shan Shen is willing to believe the confession of her being in the same room as Zhu Cheng, but the British government can't believe it!
Therefore, they had to let the Holy Majesty know that there was a lot behind this case before the British public.

Before coming, Shan Shen wrote the case file.

In the morning, Shan Shen did not mention this matter.

Only a few old censors caught Zhu Cheng and scolded him. The British Duke took this opportunity to panic.

After coming down to court, the Duke of England was in a hurry to face the saint, but was stopped by Shan Shen before he walked out of the Golden Luan Hall.

Shan Shen supported the old man's arm, and said: "Master Ling, I'm an official, and if you offend Young Master Ling, please forgive me."

"I'm the one who feels very guilty. Raising such a son who doesn't know the importance has caused trouble for your Shuntian Mansion." The British official repeatedly apologized. Seeing that the officials around him were watching, he couldn't get rid of Shan Shen, "I know , you can see on the face of this old man, he has done some convenience to that unworthy son, only guarding him, and not letting him really sit in that big prison. What should I say, I know this is not good, but after all, I am my own son, so I can't see it He suffers, alas!"

The British Duke stomped his feet one after another, and he was like a heartbroken, helpless and innocent old father.
