Pei Wenlang's brothers said: "It's a loan!"

Pei Wenlang said sincerely: "Sir, even if the villain doesn't know the importance, he would not dare to give the things given by the emperor to others. Not to mention that the villain's brothers are to preserve the ancestral property for the powerful Marquis Pei family, and those things are not small.

How dare we dispose of people's things ourselves? Even if we dare to dispose of them ourselves, we would not dare to use the gifts given by the emperor to others even if we borrow some courage from the villains. How can the villains have this qualification?"

Hearing the words "gift from the emperor", the expressions of Pei Song and his son suddenly changed.

Xicheng Dusi had received the complaint before, so he was not surprised. However, Pei Wenlang and others had some scheming plans. Just now they deliberately tried to quarrel with Pei Song and his son, and never mentioned the gift given by the emperor. But when they said it now, they instantly gained the upper hand.

!

Pei Song and his son panicked for a moment.

Back then, when these people returned to their hometowns, even though they were rushing to join the clan, they had no houses or half an acre of land. If we opened the door for them, could they buy land and buy slaves and maids so quickly?

This is not so much a gift as it is his hard work.

These people have now bought land, houses, and settled there, but when they turn around, they want to take back the hard-earned money they gave away in the first place. Isn’t this like putting up your pants and not recognizing others?
p>

He has never been played like this before.

If he wants something, he won't be afraid of a lawsuit going to heaven.

It’s not that he is too greedy, it’s mainly because these things are so good and so valuable. Each of them can be passed down as a family heirloom. Who would be willing to spit it out after getting it?

Pei Zefeng kowtowed and said, "Sir, this is absolutely not the case. Even if we are brave enough, we would not dare to take the gift given by the emperor. That is not what the brothers said at the beginning! When they gave it to my father, they only said it was a small gift.

If the object is really a gift from the emperor, it should be offered in front of the hall. Even if I follow their words, my father asked them out of curiosity. They knew that it was a gift from the emperor, so they should not be so dismissive. This shows that they are lying!"<

/p>

Xicheng Dusi finally understood.

Looking at the twinkling eyes of these people, everyone has their own evil intentions. They are arguing here, but not a word of what they say can be trusted.

The only thing that is credible is that there are indeed valuable things, not to mention gifts and loans, but they were sent to the hands of Pei Song and his son by the Pei brothers at that time, and that is why the current dispute arose.

If it is a gift, it would be reasonable for Pei Song and his son.

If it was lent, it would be reasonable for the Pei Wenlang brothers to want it back.

Pei Wenlang and others were secretly worried. Why was Butler Zhou so unreliable? He agreed to hire a sure-win lawyer for them.

They had all taken out their fifty taels of white money, and now they didn't even see the shadow of the lawyer.

What follows is another fight.

Both sides insist on one side of the story, and neither side has any witnesses.

A Yamen servant came over and reported: "Sir, someone outside said that Pei Wenlang and others hired a lawyer. It is up to you to decide whether to let him in!"

I really thought about the lawsuit, so the lawsuit came. Butler Zhou did not squander their money, which made the Pei Wenlang brothers look happy.

With the winning lawyer here, they don't have to fight with Pei Song and the others!

Pei Wenlang then said to the court: "Your Excellency, the villain's brothers are not good at speaking. I request you to summon the villain's lawyer to litigate on my behalf."

Pei Song and his son: "..."

Hire a lawyer?

If they were careless, they should hire a lawyer.

But they are not afraid either. If father and son work together, they can cut through metal!

Xicheng Dusi said: "Pass it on!"

It is normal for people who are familiar with the law to represent ordinary people in lawsuits, but ordinary people cannot afford it! However, such people must at least have a scholar or above, because if they are below a scholar, they must be a magistrate in court.

Kneeling. It’s so weird for a litigator to kneel down to argue a lawsuit.

What's more, in a serious place like the court, there must be some order.

Therefore, there is a clear provision in Dongxia that no one without meritorious service can become a litigant.

Those who have a good reputation all hope to stand out and honor their ancestors. Litigants are called litigators at best, and they are litigators at worst. They rely on words to make a living, which is disgraceful. Who can think highly of being a litigator?

Therefore, the number of litigants is small, which also makes their prices very high.

All the people named Pei in the hall stared at the door.

The light was slightly dim, and Zhou Chen walked in.

Pei Wenlang happily wanted to call someone, but he remembered that this was a court, and Mr. Du Si had just told him not to make any noise, otherwise he would be punished for roaring in the court, so he held back.

However, they still eagerly craned their necks to look behind Zhou Shen.

Only Zhou Chen came in, and there was no one behind him.

Pei Wenlang couldn't help but said: "Steward Zhou, where are the lawyers?"

Zhou Chen ignored him. He walked to the hall and stood up, bowed his hands and saluted, saying: "Your Excellency, you are polite, Zhou Chen is the lawyer of Pei Wenlang and others!"

Brother Pei Wenlang: "???"

Pei Song and his son: "???"

Brother Pei Wenlang: "..."

No, we spent fifty taels of money, and it took so much trouble to get it together. Where is the lawyer who promised to win? If he comes in and pretends to be someone else, won’t his conscience hurt?

Their hearts and eyes were full of resistance, and pairs of eyes looked directly at Zhou Chen, like a resentful harem looking at the heartless man who betrayed them!

Pei Song and his son: "..."

Returning a lawsuit? Bah!

Give them a fright.

Since it is this old killer, they are not afraid.

No, although they come from a small place and have little knowledge, they also know that not everyone can be a lawyer.

Doesn't a domestic slave despise the court if he becomes a litigant?

Pei Song immediately said: "Sir, this person deceived the officials and pretended to be a prosecutor. He is not worthy of his status at all!"

After saying that, he glanced at the Pei Wenlang brothers with disdain, and as expected, he saw the faces of the Pei Wenlang brothers change.

They also remembered that even ordinary civilians were not qualified to be lawyers, let alone domestic slaves?

Xicheng Dusi was slightly startled, Jia Dai Litigator? His status is not worthy?

He said in a deep voice: "What is the identity of Mr. Shen next?"

Without waiting for Zhou Chen to answer, Pei Zeyong rushed to say: "Sir, we recognize this person, he is a domestic slave of the Weiwu Marquis Mansion!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Xicheng Dusi's face suddenly darkened.

Domestic slave?

This is unreasonable!

Pei Wenlang and others were so anxious that they were sweating on their heads. Zhou Shen deliberately came to trick them this time, right?

Originally, they defended themselves and had a slight chance of winning. Now Mr. Du Si thought that they hired a domestic slave to be the lawyer. This was because they did not take the majesty of the yamen and the authority of the official family into consideration. Zhou Chen himself could not defend himself.

Even if they just retreat, they have suffered miserably. Mr. Dusi must have a very bad impression of them. Even if they are reasonable, in Mr. Dusi's mind, they have become unreasonable!

After spending fifty taels of white money, Pei Wenlang and his brothers wanted to eat Zhou Chen one bite at a time.

The Xicheng Dusi said in a deep voice: "What kind of crime should a slave be guilty of if he is bold and defies the court?"

The yamen servant next to him even yelled: "You are so bold and unruly, why don't you kneel down?"

Zhou Chen not only did not kneel down, nor did he show any signs of panic. He bowed his hands and bowed, saying, "Master Du Si, I am indeed working as an errand in the Weiwu Marquis Mansion. But that is just a job, and I am not a family member."

He is a slave, but the steward of the mighty Marquis Mansion!"

Xicheng Dusi said coldly: "Is there any difference?"

Even if the housekeeper is a civilian, he is not qualified to stand here.

"There is a difference, a big difference!" Zhou Chen smiled lightly and said: "There are some things here, please take a look at them, Mr. Du Si!"

He calmly handed out what he was holding.

Only the Yamen servant next to him presented the things to the Dusi.

Xicheng Dusi took it and looked through it, and his expression softened a lot after seeing it.

The old man in front of the hall was selected as a scholar forty years ago, so he is a scholar!

He is the steward of the Weiwu Marquis Mansion. Although the stewards and domestic servants of the Gaomen Mansion are basically servants, the kind who sign a contract to sell themselves. But the person in front of him is really not that. He is a free man.<

/p>

In this way, there is no doubt about his identity. No one has stipulated that scholars cannot work as housekeepers for others?

Then he is not overstepping his bounds as a lawyer.
