”Alright then, just you wait.”
Liu's carpenter was an honest carpenter, when he heard that these rascals wanted to see his wife, he immediately stood up and went to the inner room to call for his wife. Not long later, Xiao Feng walked in. She was a girl from large family after all, so she gave them a very proper bow.
”Liu Family wife, do you know that your boss's Tycoon Lee is dead?”
”I've heard.”
Xiao Feng said indifferently, there seemed to be a trace of sadness on his face. She didn't seem to want to talk about it. He turned her face away from them. Seeing Xiao Feng's expression, Wang Shi immediately understood that the rumors were not empty words, and anxiously instigated Xiao Feng.
”The two sons of the Tycoon Lee, Li Cheng and Li Guan, divided the property equally, with each person sharing more than five thousand mu. We have all heard that your son, Liu Shun, is also the biological son of the Tycoon Lee, yet he didn't receive a single bit of money.
is my son, how did he become the son of the Tycoon Lee? Aren't you deliberately humiliating me? ”
Hearing that Wang Shi called Liu Shun the son of the Tycoon Lee, even the honest Liu's carpenter was not happy with it. No matter how honest and useless a man was, he would never admit that his son was not his, even more so, he did not want others to speak carelessly of him.
”Liu's carpenter, don't be so stubborn. Your wife gave birth to Liu Shun half a year after coming to your house, and you still dare to say that Liu Shun is your son? Tycoon Lee is dead, as long as you go and sue them, this lawsuit will win for sure. Even if it's just dividing the land into a few thousand acres, you won't need to worry about food and water for the rest of your life. It's better than being a carpenter who works in a village. ”
After Wang Shi's act, the Liu's carpenter did not dare to make a sound again. It was just that when the Tycoon Lee was still alive, he had denied it in public. The Li family had said that Xiao Feng had secretly connected with the Li family's servants, and so he had kicked her out. If he were to bring it up again, wouldn't he be making a fool out of himself?
”Everyone, you must be joking. That is something that has never happened. Besides, we poor people don't have the money to go to court. Since ancient times, poor people do not fight with wealth, the people do not fight with the officials, the lawsuits are all paid for by the money, how can we compete with them? The later parts weren't brilliant, but they weren't beautiful. ”Besides, for a craftsman like us, if we don't work every day, we won't get any food. Where would we get the manpower and the skills to go to court?”
”What are you afraid of? In any case, it was true that Liu Shun's mother was a servant girl of the Tycoon Lee, it was also true that he was pregnant and married. As long as Liu Shun's mother insisted, what method did they have to deny it? You don't have the manpower, so we'll help you out. Since we have friends in the yamen, how can we be afraid of losing you? It's just that, if it's difficult, we brothers will help you gather the money. If you don't go with the small money and if you don't come with the big money, we will help you collect three thousand silver taels as the capital for the lawsuit. You just need to write down a loan of three thousand silver and we will keep it. Once you possess the Li family property, you can return it to us. As for winning the lawsuit, you guys have come here for nothing, giving us brothers half of the points, and us brothers will fight for you in this lawsuit, what do you say? ”
Although that Liu's carpenter was an honest man, he couldn't stand Wang Shi's constant instigation. Thinking about the Li Family's huge business, if he were to win the lawsuit, even if he got half of it, it would still be enough for him to live for a few more lifetimes. Even if he lost, only they would pay. Since he wouldn't be at a disadvantage, he nodded his head.
”Of course, if you help us. Where should we start?”
”You just need to write the IOU and from our height, I'll let you win?”
Liu's carpenter turned his head to look at Xiao Feng. Unexpectedly, Xiao Feng agreed without saying a word and fiercely scolded him. He was the one who was most clear about who Liu Shun's son. She swore to tell Wang Shi and Liu Jin that Liu Shun was the son of the Tycoon Lee. Tian Kai was sitting in the lobby, looking at the ceiling in a bored manner. On the spider webs on top of the ceiling, there were two spiders fighting. Just as Spider was getting excited, a few guys who looked like scoundrels led a twelve or thirteen year old little boy into the main hall. They handed over a bill of complaint to the Ji County's wealthiest man, Li Cheng, and Li Guan, for taking over her family's property and bullying his little brother.
Tian Kai finally opened his eyes.
Seeing that someone had complained, Tian Kai was exceptionally excited. Finally, he had something to do. He hurriedly took the petition and started to read it seriously. It was even more detailed than an imperial edict. After that, he carefully inquired about the case, and immediately sent the yamen runners to carry the rich masters of Ji County, Li Cheng and Li Guan into the great hall to conduct a detailed investigation.
The case was very simple. The little boy called himself Liu Shun, the son of the Liu's carpenter in Ji County City. His mother, Xiao Feng, was a servant of Li Cheng, Li Guan's father, Elder Li's father, the rich man. He was sent out of the house by the Li family over ten years ago, and was married to Liu's carpenter without even asking for money. Coincidentally, Xiao Feng was already pregnant when he got married, and in less than half a year after he was married to the Liu's carpenter, he gave birth to Liu Shun.
After Xiao Feng was born, many of the neighbors said that Liu Shun was Elder Li's son, that Li Cheng and Li Guan's mother was jealous of Xiao Feng, and chased him out when he saw that he was pregnant, making him sound very good. Furthermore, there were even neighbors who had testified ten years ago.
