Great Lawyer

Chapter 120 Take Care, Your Excellency (Part [-])

"Commander Wu." The cripple stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying, "We meet again."

Commander Wu's eyes lit up, "Lime, what wind brought you here to do business?"

"Passing by Xinhua with friends." The cripple smiled and introduced Du Jiuyan, "This is my good brother Du Jiuyan, and this is Cai Zhuoru."

Commander Wu frowned immediately, and looked at Du Jiuyan with disgust, "Are you brothers with this traitor?"

"Commander Wu, she is a litigator. Everything is done in accordance with the law, and it is just to meet the petitioner's demands. She is very kind and upright. I ask Commander Wu to cover the misunderstanding. Since then, we have resolved it and we are all friends. .”

"She, is she upright?" Commander Wu laughed and pouted again, "Forget it, for your sake today, I won't embarrass her, but if she messes with me next time, I will It will not be easily forgiven."

The lame man cupped his hands in thanks, and the three of them entered the city gate.

"Why are you so honest, I thought you would quarrel?" The lame man looked at Du Jiuyan with a smile.

Du Jiuyan said: "A man can bend and stretch!"

The lame man laughed.

In the afternoon, Du Jiuyan went to visit Qiu Zhang.

Qiu Zhang was leaning on the chair, taking a file and dozing off like a chicken pecking at rice. Du Jiuyan coughed, leaned forward and said, "My lord, did you dream of me in your dream?"

"Oh!" Qiu Zhang was startled, clutching his chest, "You, Du Jiuyan?"

Du Jiuyan said with a smile: "It's a fake one."

"It's amazing to come back alive after making a trip to Zhenyuan Mansion." Qiu Zhang looked at Du Jiuyan, "How is it, Guo Ting can help you?"

Du Jiuyan took the teacup and poured tea for himself, "I can help. I guess he will have a broken leg or arm if I leave."

"It's better to have a broken leg. It's better to have a broken leg than to lose your head. It seems that King Gui is not hard-hearted." Qiu Zhang heaved a sigh of relief, "This time, you have made friends with Mr. Guo. In the future, in the southwest generation, no one will dare to provoke you. .”

Du Jiuyan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Will he be demoted?"

"Then you have underestimated Mr. Guo. Although he is a military officer and has no family background, his blood-stained good brother is the governor of the left army of the five armies. Award."

Du Jiuyan showed the original expression, "Then congratulations to him for successfully surviving the catastrophe." He arched at Qiu Zhang again, "I think Mr. Guo will speak a few words for you again, the next place, Where do you want to go to high school, my lord?"

"Go, don't talk nonsense." Qiu Zhang suppressed a smile, looked left and right, and whispered in Du Jiuyan's ear: "I may be going back to Beijing, and I don't know whether the level will be promoted or not. "

Du Jiuyan laughed, "It's good to go back to Beijing, Mr. Bao Buqi can get a cabinet boss to do it before he retires."

"Me, elder Ge?" Qiu Zhang waved his hands, "If I can become a fifth-rank official in the capital without dying or being maimed or being ruined, I will be blessed by a Bodhisattva."

Du Jiuyan shook his head, "Then when I leave, I must go to the Bodhisattva to pay my respects to my lord, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless my lord not to die, not to be miserable, not to be notorious, to be a five-rank official in peace, and to return to my hometown in fine clothes."

Qiu Zhang tapped Du Jiuyan on the head with the file in his hand, "Why do I like you the more I look at you?"

"Your Excellency thinks I'm not pleasing to the eye. It's your fault. Now that you've become normal, you'll naturally be pleasing to your eye." Du Jiuyan said.

Qiu Zhang laughed out loud.

"However, my lord, I'm afraid you will be poor for a few years with your official rank after returning to Beijing." Du Jiuyan said regretfully.

Everyone knows that Beijing officials are not as good as county officials, but it is easier to make friends with colleagues in the capital, and the chance of promotion is greater.

Each has its own advantages. Generally, those with backgrounds will spend a few years away to earn some money, and then manage to return to Beijing, taking the money and qualifications to advance step by step.

But Qiu Zhang is obviously not good enough. He is getting old, and he can't survive 20 years after returning to Beijing.

"Nonsense, my official is clean and honest, and I serve the country and the people with a clean heart. What are you afraid of being poor? I am afraid that I will not be able to serve the country and share your worries!" Qiu Zhang raised his hand, facing the sky, with arrogance.

Du Jiuyan nodded.

"I have enough money, and I can't spend it all in this life and the next." Qiu Zhang pressed over, his voice was very soft, "So, I want to do something practical, if I can do something that will last forever and be praised , this life is worth it."

"My lord is wise!" Du Jiuyan cupped his hands and said, "My lord, you must arrange my mine well before you leave. Whether others will tell you the praises, but my son and I will tell you the praises."

Qiu Zhang snorted, "Don't worry, I've made all the arrangements. I will take care of you both inside and outside the yamen. As for Commander Wu, I will definitely get him out before he leaves, so that even if the new magistrate comes, you don't have to Afraid."

"My lord will definitely get what I want. When I go to the capital in the future, my lord, please don't close the door to thank the guests and pretend that you don't know me." Du Jiuyan said.

Qiu Zhang thought for a while, "Ugly words are up front. If you are a good person, I will naturally know you. If you went to Beijing because you were executed after Qiuhou, I will definitely turn a blind eye. I just want to avoid making you feel ashamed."

"Fortunately, I think so too, otherwise I would be angry." Du Jiuyan sighed.

Qiu Zhang laughed out loud, feeling that he and Du Jiuyan really had a lot to say and fight, "You boy, sooner or later you will marry a powerful wife who will take care of you every day."

"My lord, I have a son." Du Jiuyan said with a smile, "I will be at a disadvantage if I marry another daughter-in-law."

Qiu Zhang was speechless.

In the evening, Du Jiuyan and Qiu Zhang had dinner together. When paying, Du Jiuyan didn't take out the money, and Qiu Zhang stared at her, "You are a junior, you pay."

"You are an elder, and I respect you."

"To pay is to respect."

"Respect is meaning, and has nothing to do with gold and silver vulgar objects."

"Then tell me, what should I do. I don't have any money with me."

Du Jiuyan nodded, beckoned to the restaurant guy, and explained: "This is Mr. Qiu, you know him. This meal will be charged to Mr. Qiu's account!"

"Yes!" The man said yes and left.

Qiu Zhang rubbed his forehead, "I'm out of my mind, I'm here to have dinner with you!"

"Your family can't run out of money, I'm happy to help others, and I can help you spend some money." Du Jiuyan said.

Qiu Zhang took a sip.

The two walked slowly, Du Jiuyan sent Qiu Zhang back, Qiu Zhang was a little reluctant, "I don't know when I will leave, and I can't see you before I leave, but if I don't see you, I won't tell you. Settle down and write to you again."

"Take care, my lord. If you write to me, I will definitely reply." Du Jiuyan said.

Qiu Zhang rolled his eyes at him, "There are no rules, there is no reason for the elders not to reply to letters."

"Adults are not elders."

Qiu Zhang stared.

"Your Excellency is a good friend!" Du Jiuyan cupped his hands and said, "A good friend from Wangnian."

Qiu Zhang laughed loudly, nodded his head and said, "I also wish Mr. Du smooth sailing and success in every case."

"Change another blessing, my lord." Du Jiuyan said: "It is inevitable, don't say it deliberately."

Qiu Zhang spat and staggered back home. His family members came out to support him. After walking a few steps, he turned around and cupped his hands at Du Jiuyan. It’s not an exaggeration. I have never really remembered anyone’s love. I only recognize money but not people.”

"But Jiuyan is good, I will remember it. If we meet again in the future, we will definitely repay you." He waved his hand and entered the door.

Du Jiuyan smiled lightly, waved his hands and shouted: "My lord, I don't know when I will go to the capital, so you have to live a long life to repay your kindness."

"Go, go!" Qiu Zhang slammed the door shut.

Du Jiuyan went back to the inn humming a ditty slightly drunk, the cripple was waiting for him in the lobby while drinking, Cai Zhuoru was reading by the lamp, seeing him coming in, both of them looked at him.

"You two, are you waiting for me?" Du Jiuyan sat down at the table, Cai Zhuoru poured him a cup of tea, and said with a smile, "We can't sleep if you don't come back."

Du Jiuyan snatched the lame man's glass and drank half of it, cupped his hands and said, "Tonight, I'm really flattered."

"What? Who else spoiled you?" asked the lame man.

Du Jiuyan rolled his eyes, already drunk, "That's too much. My biggest shortcoming in this life is that I am too cute and respectable."

"It's too much to understand, too much to understand." Du Jiuyan said regretfully: "It's also very troublesome to be liked by many people."

Cai Zhuoru stuffed the teacup into her hand, and the lame man snatched the wine glass away.

"You're drunk, let me help you go back and have a rest." Cai Zhuoru got up and went to help Du Jiuyan, but before he touched Du Jiuyan, the cripple was already a step ahead of him, pulling Du Jiuyan and dragging his wrist went upstairs.

Cai Zhuoru stared at the empty hand and was taken aback for a moment.

This situation... seems familiar.The silver hand was like this last time. Protecting Du Jiuyan is like protecting personal property, for fear that if someone touches him, he will lose something.

He felt, why is it so strange.

"Oh, what are you dragging me to do?" Du Jiuyan patted his hand, "I'm just happy, I taught King Gui a lesson, let me celebrate."

The cripple hummed and said, "Go to bed early, don't you have to go to the mine tomorrow?"

"Well. It's getting late. It's important." Du Jiuyan pushed the door open and went in. He slammed the latch and fell asleep. The cripple rubbed his forehead... He suspected that Du Jiuyan himself might have forgotten She's a woman's thing.

"Brother Lame, rest early." Cai Zhuoru said with a complicated look and a smile.

The lame nodded.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, the three of them went to Yanshan, Silver Hand flew out happily, hugged Du Jiuyan, and said, "Brother Jiu, do you miss me and came to see me specially?" ?”

"Yes, I came to see you specially."

Yinshou laughed loudly, "I knew that, if I wasn't at home, you would all miss me very much. Did Little Carrot miss me? Did you argue that you wanted to come and see me?"

"Cry every day, saying why Uncle Yinshou didn't come back. I said you were making money, but he stopped crying and told you to work harder!" Du Jiuyan said.

Yinshou giggled and said in a low voice: "We signed a big contract with Dusi Baoqing three days ago, asking for one hundred horseshoes and five hundred swords. How much silver do you give?"

"How much?" Du Jiuyan's eyes lit up.
