Idle courtiers

Chapter 209 Harmonious and Pleasant Communication
Hearing what Jiu Gongzi said, Zhou Nan gave her a high look.

This girl is hateful and hateful, but she is a principled person.

Before the case is accepted and the work is not completed, it is resolute not to ask for a penny.If it was replaced by the black-hearted litigator of later generations, before the matter is completed, he would use such and such excuses, such as making connections, such as colluding with judges, witnesses, etc., asking you for money, and refusing to give up until he squeezes you out. .In the end, if things are not done well, they will use one or another excuse to lie to you.

Anyway, in a word, I will use the money on your family's case, if you want to get the money back, you can find someone else, what's the matter, can you still bite me?

Many people will suffer huge losses regardless of whether they win or lose a lawsuit.

In fact, in the eyes of many unscrupulous modern people, the ancients were sometimes stupid.

The ancients re-named and did things for you, and they would never charge money before.If you can’t get things done with the money, you will be condemned by public opinion and rejected by mainstream society, and you will never be able to hold your head up for the rest of your life.

Of course, in order to prevent the trustee from defaulting on the debt, the middlemen also have their own methods.For example, in the case of fraud in the examination room in the early years of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty, the examiner sold the test questions and asked the buyer to issue an IOU after contacting the buyer.It said, "Xin Ke Jinshi XX owed 1000 taels of silver in XX years." If you failed to win the Jinshi, this IOU would not have legal effect, and the money would naturally not have to be paid.Fair business, no bullying.

Zhou Nan nodded: "Young Master Ninth is right, but I feel that with your wisdom and methods, you should be able to accomplish this matter, and you will be able to return to the golden mountain. However, I am here on business in Yanqing this time. If I go back like this, If I fail the annual exam, it will hinder my future. The Ninth Young Master asked me to go back, but I will not obey."

"It seems that you are really going to make trouble here. Do you still have to send a letter to the pedestrian department? Zhou Nan, what kind of future can you have as a little pedestrian? By the way, you are still a scholar, and you will not pass the exam in the future. If you can stay in the department with the cheek, you will be kicked out sooner or later. Who is my grandfather, you must know. Zou Yinglong is the most proud student of my grandfather, and he will definitely be of great use in the future. If you leave Yanqing this time, I must accept your love. It is really a last resort, this young master tells Mr. Zou to let you follow him, which is also a way out. Zhou Nan, what nonsense do you want to talk about?"

Ninth Young Master is already stern.

Zhou Nan was so angry that she was on the verge of laughing, this crazy girl was sure that I would not stay in the Pedestrian Division for long, and I would not be awarded a Jinshi in the future, and I looked down on people too much.The most damning thing is that you still want me to take refuge in Zou Yinglong. Even if I want to take refuge in him, is Tang Shunzhi no better than his surname Zou Yinglong?If I don't want to be a good official, I will be a teacher for others?
He suddenly had an idea in his mind, instead of being angry, he smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Ninth, for your support. However, I have a question to ask next. Do you really think that Master Zou Yinglong came to Yanqing this time for the Kongxing case?"

"Is not it?."

"Childish!" Zhou Nan was full of disdain.

Ah Jiu was furious: "You!"

Zhou Nan said: "Young Master Ninth, hold on, listen to me. You think things are too simple. You really think that Zou Yinglong came to Yanqing this time to avenge his personal revenge and save Kong Xing. In fact, Mr. Zou has his own plans."

Ninth Young Master: "Let's see what flowers you can name?"

"Let me analyze and analyze with you." Zhou Nan said patiently: "This is the Jingcha, which is held every six years, and Mr. Zou may also have a headache because of his political achievements. It would be a great achievement to take advantage of the school to bring Lu Zhizhou down. Even if there is no personal enmity, he knows that he will do it. Isn’t that what the censor does? As for monk Kong’s life and death, I’m afraid Mr. Zou Yinglong doesn’t care about it. So, even if I go back to the capital, yes You don't get any help with this."

"What you're worried about is that I stay here to make trouble, causing conflicts between the Pedestrian Department and Zou Yinglong, and disturbing the student's application. Then, let's analyze it again. Even if Lu Zhizhou falls, we don't know when the new Zhizhou will take office. The new Zhizhou may not be willing to reverse the case for Kong Xing, so what will the Ninth Young Master do then? Don’t you feel distressed watching the 3000 taels of silver fly away with wings?"

"This..." Ah Jiu shook his head: "Zou Yinglong promised at the beginning, how could he break his promise?"

Zhou Nan sneered in his heart: Going back on his word, does Mr. Xu Ge not do this kind of thing too often? Can politicians trust their promises?

He said patiently: "I am also an official. People in the officialdom understand better than you. If I guessed correctly, Zou Yinglong agreed to help Kong Xing back then. First of all, you are his junior. The relationship between the two families is also good. Xu Ge is old-fashioned. Besides, if you give me a hand, once Kongxing is out of trouble, there will naturally be a gift of thanks."

"In the final analysis, Kong and Zou Yinglong are neither related nor related. His life and death are nothing compared to his own political achievements? Think about it, what a credit it is to move a man from the fifth-rank Zhizhou. Master Zou can let go ever?"

"Ah!" Ah Jiu's expression was blank.

She was born in the prime minister's mansion, where high-ranking officials and dignitaries came and went every day. I don't know how the political officials think about issues.Zhou Nan believed what he said.

Young Master Jiu murmured: "Since Zou Yinglong has other plans, why did he agree to come to Yanqing with me?"

Zhou Nan: "If I were Lord Zou, my mentor's granddaughter wanted to come out to play with me for a day or two, how could I refuse, besides, she is such a cute little girl."

"It turns out that he just treats me like a child." Jiu Gongzi looked disappointed.

Zhou Nan said: "Ninth Young Master, let's have a heart-to-heart exchange. You came to Yanqing this time to save Kong Xing's life and get the 3000 taels of silver. I came here on business. We each go our own way, and there was no conflict in the first place. I do have a way to save Kong Xing and help you get a thank you pen."

Ninth Young Master suddenly came to the spirit: "I wish to hear the auspiciousness

Zhou Nan: "Master Zou wants to take advantage of the fact that the students wrote a letter to drive Lu Zhizhou out of power. You and I can secretly help Master Lu to let Zou Yinglong return empty-handed. At that time, I will go to Lu Zhizhou to talk about it, withdraw the murder file and rewrite it." Verdict. I've got an idea and I need your help."

"What help?"

"You took me to study in the state tonight, I still have something to do."

Ah Jiu felt strange, and asked: "The love letter was written by the students, do you want them to withdraw it, is it impossible?"

"Of course it's impossible. How could so many people be persuaded? Besides, the commotion is too loud. I'm afraid it will alarm Mr. Zou." Zhou Nan felt a little regretful, and thought to himself: How did I come up with this idea? up.However, such a thing as inspiration, who knows when it will come.

Ah Jiu was a little hesitant: "But, after all, Zou Yinglong is my grandfather's protégé. I joined hands with you to ruin his affairs. Don't you feel a bit overwhelmed?"

Zhou Nan: "Master Ninth, that's 3000 taels!"

Ah Jiuyi gritted his teeth: "Okay, I agree with you. I will reserve the door for you at three o'clock tonight and let you go to the state to study. Zhou Nan, you have to remember, if this fails, emptiness will not be rescued, don't worry." Blame me for being unforgiving."

"Naturally, naturally." Zhou Nan nodded again and again: "I will go to see Lu Zhizhou about this matter."

But I thought in my heart: Don't look at this Ninth Young Master's weirdness, but a child is a child after all, and a few words have turned her against him.Hey, the housewife in this wealthy family is actually living a miserable life, even worse than the big maid.No wonder this little girl talked about money all day long, her father and grandpa couldn't compare to Qian's.Besides, her father and grandfather only regard her as a kitten and puppy, and the family relationship is extremely weak.
