No ed, what attracted people's attentionfaovern fa family would respond to this?
Into whose hands would the enor family fortune fall into?
In the hearts offamilyFirst, they had hidden well their darker side and cultivated an extreentleda was the eldest son of the wife of the Ming fa fae-old precedent, the fa to the eldest to inherit
Besides, who could actually prove that Xia Qifei was Ming Qingcheng?
It was very lively outside of the Suzhou yamen but inside was unbelievably tenseThe Suzhou Zhizhou lay sprawled on his table with a headacheHe sighed dispiritedly and sadly to the advisor besides hi fae fanan officialdo happened to the Ming fanan would probably go doith the fa the family property caseOf course, the Suzhou Zhizhou had to stand on the side of Ming Qingda and the matriarch to consider this questionHowever, behind Xia Qifei was the imperial envoyThis was not someone the Zhizhou could afford to offend
The advisor's face was filled with terror as he walked in anxious circlesSuddenly he stopped his movements and snapped the paper fan in his hand closed
”Sir, it is time to be a clean official” The forehead of the advisor scrunched into an ugly looking knot as he gritted his teeth
The Suzhou Zhizhou panicked and said in great anger, ”What kind of crap is this? A these words, he thought of so family matterI cannot re in this position because I leaned on the old Matriarch in past years”
The advisor knew that the old ed forward and said a feords to explain in a low voice, ”Sir, have you seen anyone co?”
The Suzhou Zhizhou pausedAfter thinking a bit, he said strangely, ”You're rightThe Ming family hasn't sent anyone to coe”
The advisor s family has a card up their sleeveNo matter how this case isfa to the oldfamily isn't worried, naturally they have the confidence to winSo, why are you anxious for thehtly lowered his head and asked using an extremely low voice, ”Then in your opinion, what should I do?
This advisor specialized in cri lawsWith a swish, he opened his folded fan and proudly said, ”No matter whether or not Xia Qifei could find an old person from back then to prove his past, even if he was the seventh son of the Ming fa law, he has no share in this family propertySince you don't want to offend either side, and the Ming fa lahat are you worried about? Today, you only have to act with justice and handle the case according to the law…I think it will be difficult for the imperial envoy to blanan case, and the Suzhou Zhizhou furrowed his brow and thought for a whileHe felt that he could only follow thisthe case according to the law, he could not offend Fan XianHe could passively watch the Ming family succeed and also raise his reputation as an officialIt seemed to be a in scenario
He finally relaxed and let out a long breath”It is indeed soNo action is the best action”
The druan to sound
The Zhizhou furrowed his brows and cursed”This Xia water bandit really is in a rush”
Although he said this, he did not dare to slight hi expression with a trace of benevolence, and walked out of his study toward the law court
…
…
Arriving in the court, he could only hear the claIt took a wave of ”sha wei” to suppress the din outside caused by the Suzhou people
The Zhizhou narrowed his eyes as he gazed down the court and found, to his surprise, that Xia Qifei had come alone to the law courtThere was no one beside himIt looked like the imperial envoy did not send someone to help Xia Qifei”
”Who is there in the court?”
”Commoner Xia Qifei”
”What matter do you have to report?”
Xia Qifei was silent for a moot to replyHe wore a pure blue cotton robe, and the whiskers on his chin had been shaved co clear skinHe looked to be heroic and full of vitalityThe hands that were showing at the sleeves were shaking very slightlyIt looked like today'slanced at hi proudly in the court was not an insignificant challenge to his powerFurther hie but found his sleeve being tugged on by his advisor
The advisor said quietly, ”Fan…Fan…don't s”
The Zhizhou was startledThat's rightWhat was the point of kicking up a fuss about these ss?
Xia Qifei finally lowered his headHe wrapped one hand around a fist and said in a clear voice, ”I acheng, and I a masterSince my youth, I have been kicked out of the house by the violent wo lost ly entered the court to sue the oldfada, for colluding with bandits, rashly har my property…please will the just and incorruptible official find justice for me!”
When these words were said, the entire yard filled with noiseEveryone knew that Xia Qifei had coined he would ida of conspiring to plotting ed with menaceFurthermore, he had used violent wo any space to an to cla matriarch was a benevolent old wos over the yearsHow could she be connected to a violent wo Qingda probably couldn't escape their connection to the strange disappearance of the Seventh young oBut, people always believed what they believedThey believed what they had already convinced themselves, so they hissed in displeasure at this accusation pointed toward Ming Qingda
The Suzhou Zhizhou also furrowed his forehead and said with annoyance, ”These are serious accusationsWords are not enoughWhere is the official form?”
Xia Qifei drew out the official form and handed it with two hands to the advisor at the bottom of the courtAfter the advisor handed the form to the Zhizhou, the two of them leaned close to read it and felt a shockThis form ritten and perceptiveEach word accused the old Ming matriarch, and further law had concerning things of thisXia Qifei'sall those who read it
Although the Zhizhou was moved, he still smiled coldly in his heartHe narrowed his eyesThis kind of writing was good for a novel, but it would do no good in a lawsuit
He banged the wood block and called in a severe voice, ”Xia Qifei, do you have evidence to present?”
Xia Qifei replied cal fa Xia Qifei's calm expression, the Zhizhou furrowed his browsHe wondered if Xiz Qifei actually had some kind of fatal weapon? He was silent for a while and discussed it with his advisorHe then sent a subordinate to ask so fa the annotations as written beside Qing law, this was a civil case and originally did not need the defendant to appearHowever, theThe powers behind the two sides were too big, and its effect on the Jiangnan area was too bigThe Suzhou Zhizhou also did not dare to drag this out too longIn any case, he knew the Ming family would certainly not stay out of it
As expected, the bailiff had just stepped out when so fa faations and was just waiting to fight this victory-assured battle
