Seeing who caain and asked in a cold voice, ”Who approaches?”

The elegant youngLanshi+ greets you Sir”

This youngfaht nowHe had to play the role of an upright and plainspoken official in front of the common people, so he spoke coldlyUsually, this Zhizhou wasfamily's analysis these past few days confirmed the situation of their assured victory of this property lawsuit, Ming Lanshi+ understood what the Suzhou Zhizhou was thinking and did not concern himself with it

”Hmm,” The Suzhou Zhizhou said”Recently, the randchild of the oldest child, it is reasonable for you to co Lanshi+ to read”

The advisor brought the for Lanshi+ did not accept itInstead, he s family are not criles withinI ask for the help of the litigation lanced to the sideThe so-called ”criminals familiar with the laas naturally directed toward Xia Qifei to his sideXia Qifei did not have any reaction and didn't even glance at his big nephew

Following Ming Lanshi+'s words, a person flashed by behind them and accepted the forly

The Suzhou Zhizhou and advisor saw the person and their originally hovering hearts iation ation nan areaIn other words, he was the overnmentsWhen hethe dead back to live, and turn ue and walked the world with Qing law in his hands, and he had never lost

The Ming fa law concerning the eldest inheriting set in stone protecting it, there was no way they could lose this fa held Xia Qifei's official form and read it closelyA disdainful smile appeared unconsciously at the corner of his lipsHe seemed to belittle the other party, and the imperial envoy behind hihed”What a touching andstory…only I'm not sure…Chieftain Xia, what this story has to do with the Ming faation master referred to Xia Qifei as Chieftain Xia to affect public opinionHe was re that this Xia Qifei was still a seasoned killed on the rivers and lakes, and a leader of the underworld

Xia Qifei said without any expression, ”It tells the story of the Ming fa to do with the Ming faly, ”Sir Xia is very a fa fafamily?”

He saluted the Suzhou Zhizhou in the hall and smiled, ”Sir, this case is too absurdThere is truly no need to continue it”

The Suzhou Zhizhou pretended to furrow his brow and said, ”Fro smiled and said, ”There is not a shred of evidence, yet he calls hi family…sir, if another person called the fa htersThe seventh son was born of a concubine as sickly as a child and unfortunately died decades ago of illnessHow could there now be a seventh son of the Ming fa fa fa the na azed at Xia QIfei and shtly”Of course, everyone today knows that Chieftan Xia is not a normal person…however, I am curious as to why you would ? What sinister intentions are you hiding that cannot be told to others?”

Chen Bochang clearly found the case to be lacking in challenge, so he had attacked aggressively froazed at Xia Qifei and shook his head”Without evidence, don't randomly sue peopleWithout witnesses, don't rando family's reputationIn afalse accusations”

Those who had personally witnessed the oldXia Qifei's birthbeen silenced these dozen yearsIt was impossible for Xia Qifei to have any evidence or witnesses at hand, thus the Ming family was very confident

…

…

Suddenly a whiny and lazy voice that raised goosebumps on all those who heard it came from outside the Suzhou yamen

”Who says you can't have a case without evidence? Who says you can't report acalendar, a concubine in Dingzhou killed her husbandThe wife reported it with no evidenceLater, a saber was found in the stablesCase solved”

”In the Ministry of Justice archives, spring roll, case 137With the Nanyue King of the Song dynasty as an example, it is clearly stated that civil cases are split into three levelsOf cases involving s of cash, they are not restricted by the rigid rules, do not need to stay in prison, and there is no need for co fas of cash”

”With two precedents, why can't this case be made?”

”For the matter of evidence, after it is reported, the court will naturally inspect the scene and look for cluesWhy are you in such a rush?”

”Besides…who says Sir Xia doesn't have evidence?”

The person alked in froolden fan in his handsHe was ostentatious and arrogantHe spoke rapidly, bringing in exah he argued slightly irrationally, he successfully suppressed the Ming faazes of everyone to hirily stroked his beard and said, ”Who are you? How dare you enter without being suolden fan and stuck it behind himHe bowed respectfully to the top of the hall and said, ”Sir, you can't beatthis, he retrieved a piece of paper from his sleeve and waved it in the airHe smiled mischievously and said, ”I aation ation masterI have arrived lateI hope you will spare me that offense and allow me to stand, withfaation ets out, I'm afraid it will affect your reputation”

Everyone was startled

Xia Qifei gave a pained smileHow could the iation ation ryYet, he couldn't actually beat him, otherwise, he would not be able to explain it to the i

He couldn't talk, but Chen Bochang's eyes lit upHe e stared at the litigation master with his fan stuck behind hiued and glib, and he was very excitedHe also stuck his fan behind him and said, ”The two examples you raised earlier, those are special casesParticularly that of the Ministry of Justice spring casesIt is only for the Supreme Court of the Ministry of Justice in the capital to consultIt never affects the judgeation master shook his head and said, ”Not soIn the fourth year of Daxing, when the for Ruofu went to appraise e a family property caseFro's heart clenchedHe indeed had no recollection of the case the other party had brought upEither he waslaw and past precedents…was even better than his

He only heard the other litigator continue speaking with a slight s law doesn't follow past sentencingsWhether or not past precedents are used is not li law, rather it is all at the whie”

He raised his hands and bowed toward the Suzhou Zhizhou to curry favor, but the Suzhou Zhizhou was instead cursing in his heartHe knew that the words ”at his whim” had forced him into a cornerIt looked like this faated

Who exactly was this litigation aze and both felt strangeWhere in Jiangnan did such a shaation master come from?

The Suzhou Zhihou finally could not resist anymore and opened his mouth to ask, ”Please, dare I ask, what exactly is sir's naationshi+renI aation Masters Guild, transferred here under special permission from the Ministry of Justice to co in the largest fa shi+ren!

The Suzhou Zhizhou i Lanshi+ also felt hiswas evenshi+ren?

Ming Lanshi+ glanced worriedly at Chen BochangAfter Chen Bochang slightly panicked, he recovered his cale to banter suddenly exploded inside hishi+ren has lost before!”

Chen Bochang seeotten a very i shi+ren lost in his life was the case last tiiti shi+ren had only lost to Fan Xian once

Since they were going to fight a family property case, they had to first confirm Xia Qifei's true past and whether or not he actually was the seventh son of the old Ming 's stance was firmIf the Xia Qifei could not prove this s did not need to be discussed at allOnly then he would not give the infarasp his flaws

The Suzhou Zhizhou furrowed his brows and asked that Xia Qifei's side provide solid evidence to prove his identity

Song shi+ren was no longer as relaxed as beforeHe shook his head at Xia QIfei and invited out their first witness

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
