My father-in-law is Kangxi

Chapter 4 Reversal



Chapter 4 Reversal
Brother Nine's face turned black, and he didn't commit crimes. Who can read "The Law of the Qing Dynasty" well?
The prince in the study room has to learn Confucian classics such as the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as mathematics, Mandarin, Mongolian, and riding and archery. The schedule is full.

Because Brother Nine liked it, he also learned Italian and French. Who would study the Fa again?

He was able to come out today, but he had to hand over a leave note before leaving the palace.

Shu Shu shook her head, with sympathy in her eyes, but even if she read "The Law of the Qing Dynasty" once, she would not have the guts to stir up the farce in front of her.

The law is ruthless, especially now that Emperor Kangxi is in power, not only promoting Confucianism, but also emphasizing the legal system.

The legal system, like Confucianism, is a good weapon for concentrating imperial power. It can curb the feudal system of the Eight Banners in the past. Few officials dare to violate the law, because the law is merciless.

The sound of a gavel came from across the screen, and then the officials shouted: "Bring the plaintiff, the Yellow Banner Manchurian Fifth Candidate No. 15, under the leadership...Guidan Guidan..."

Gui Dan glanced at Shu Shu proudly, and then walked out of the back hall with arrogance and arrogance. He was dressed as a third-class bodyguard of the fifth rank, two ranks higher than Jin Yingbi, the commander of the sixth-rank army and horse!
Jin Yingbi gritted her molars and stood up, bowing to Gui Dan.

Osmanthus Dan accepted it generously, and returned the gift lightly.

Looking at the crowd, there was a lot of discussion immediately.

"Heh! Wearing a top and wearing a top, what is the sentence for the commander?" Someone was worried about the commander.

"How can we judge? Dong E's family is not top-ranked? Master Qi is still a first-class..." The old man Zhenghongqi, who was carrying the birdcage, was still optimistic about Dong E's family.

"Can it be the same? They are small, and you will lose your status if you come out directly..." The young bannermen are more optimistic about Guidan, the prince's cousin, the backer is strong, and Dong E's family is several lifetimes ago, no matter how important the founding minister is. It's beautiful.

Gui Dan directly appeared in court, Shu Shu was not surprised.

This bastard has only these two hands inside and out, "dogs rely on people's power" and "foxes pretend to be tigers".

This year is the year when Eight Banners select bodyguards and Baitang'a once every five years. Other people's bodyguards are still invited to the school, but Gui Dan has already put on bodyguard uniforms. Why?
Isn't it because the aunt is a concubine and the cousin is the prince, so the lack of guards has been booked long ago.

Gui Dan wore this skin to go to court, because he felt that it was a deterrent to the commander and Dong E's family.

Shu Shu looked at Ninth Brother, Ninth Brother's face really showed a bit of pride and determination, it seems that the two cousins ​​have the same brain circuit, but don't think about it, since Dong E's family dares to accept the lawsuit, they will be afraid of a third-class shrimp?

In the courtroom, the officials have once again raised their voices: "It is said that the accused is responsible for the Shun'an Bank Building... the Fourth Counselor of the Manchuria of the Xianglan Banner and the Fifth Coordinator led the flag staff... Aixinjueluo Fusong..."

The hall was immediately quiet, and even the back hall became quiet.

Brother Jiu gritted his teeth, stared at Shu Shu's disbelief, and said bitterly, "Shameless?"

Shu Shu raised her eyebrows, and her tone was calm: "This is not the second master Jin's 'beautiful jewels and jade', I'm just 'thinking of others'..."

If it wasn't for the other party's desire to "overwhelm others with power", would Gui Dan go into battle in person?

It's just a disguised form of pressure, so that the commander of the Northern Army and Horses will be biased in the trial, but now I just deal with it in the same way.

In the front hall, Jin Chengbi had already stood up to pay respects, and asked someone to carry a chair to the hall, and respectfully invited Fu Song to take his seat.

Don't look at Fu Song's immature, and he doesn't have a yellow belt on his body, but "Guo Xing Ye" is just a joke, they are all ancestral blood, and first-rank officials have to salute when they see each other, let alone a mere sixth-rank official.

"The plaintiff, No. 15 Zuo, the No. [-] Manchurian Fifth Candidate of the Xianghuang Banner, led the guard Guidan, but you filed a complaint on the [-]th of this month, suing Shun'an Yinlou for selling fake gold and silver jewelry?"

Jin Yingbi took his seat again, wiped the sweat off his brow, and began to raise his voice to ask questions.

When he was in the back hall just now, no one introduced him, and Jin Chengbi didn't know that this big Buddha was hidden. Now that the Lord of the Guo family is in the hall, his premonition is even worse.

"It is indeed my complaint, suing Shun'an Bank for selling fake goods! And there are witnesses to prove it!"

Noticing the change, Guidan looked at Fusong with apprehension, but still puffed out her stomach, speaking confidently, and handed in the "evidence" involved in the case.

A pair of gold bracelets with the characters of longevity, a gold flat square with the characters of blessing, and a golden plum flower hairpin are all common gold ornaments, decent for personal use or as a gift.

Right now, these ornaments are all damaged, with obvious cuts, revealing the silver inside, it turns out to be gold covered with silver, with only a thin layer of gold skin on the outside.

There are stamps of Shun'an Silver House on the jewelry, and there is also an "after-sales ticket" issued by Shun'an Silver House. It is written to sell a certain jewelry in a certain month in a certain year. Ticket replacement style.

The steward who came forward to buy gold jewelry before also came forward as a "witness witness", dictating that he went to the silver shop to buy it on a certain day of the month.

Jin Yingbi became serious, and looked at Fu Song: "Do you have something to say, brother?"

Fu Song took out two booklets from the bag in his hand, and said: "This is the account book for the storage of jewelry in Yinlou and the account on the cabinet. There are shadows, indicating the weight and size of the jewelry material...just compare these few evidences. 'The size and weight, if both are matched, then let's talk about other things..."

In this comparison, the specifications and sizes are matched, but the weight is completely different. It is only half of the weight on the bill. The gold hairpin with six coins is only one or two five coins.

Hearing this conclusion, everyone in the classroom naturally knew it well.

No one is a fool, gold and silver are half the weight, so they can be fooled.

If the poor family has never touched gold and silver, they can still speak vaguely, but Guo Luoluo's family is obviously not among them.

Shu Shu glanced at Brother Nine, Brother Nine didn't ask before?With such a "material evidence" full of loopholes, how could Gui Dan dare to file a lawsuit with confidence?
Brother Jiu didn't understand why Dong E's family came prepared, Gui Dan fell into a pit, "Teng" got up, and told the people around him: "Withdraw the case!" After saying that, he gave Shu Shu a look, and strode away.

Jin Chengbi in the front hall received a message from the officials, knowing that the master in the back hall finally withdrew the case, he almost wept with joy, made a decisive decision, and slapped the gavel: "No. There is insufficient evidence in the case of selling counterfeit gold and silver jewelry in Shun’an Yinlou, so the complaint is withdrawn! Back out!”

Immediately the yamen servants dispersed the crowd and closed the gate of the yamen.

Gui Dan was ignorant and fearless, still irrational, and said angrily: "Where is the evidence insufficient? Can the stamp and bill be fake? If Master Jin's muddle-headed judgment is followed, then the silver building can continue to be sold. False, harming the military and civilians..."

Jin Yingbi was disturbed and wanted to continue to persuade, but Fu Song had already looked at Shu Shu who came in from the back hall.

Shu Shu nodded, no one is Baozi, the lawsuit is not something that the other party can fight whenever they want, or withdraw the lawsuit whenever they want.

Fu Song immediately took out a few pieces of paper from his bag, stood up and said to Jin Chengbi seriously: "I want to sue Gui Dan for forging evidence and falsely accusing him of seizing property! There is the testimony of Wang Da, a silver house craftsman who was bribed by him, as evidence, and the Zhao Jian, the craftsman of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who made counterfeit money, testified as evidence!"

Gui Dan's face paled in shock, unable to speak.

Jin Chengbi felt that his head was "buzzing", and he sold fake sticks for [-] according to the "Great Qing Law", "false accusation" and sat back!
Defendant Gui Dan is an official. This is not a simple dispute over money. It involves the seizure of property. The Yamen, the clan mansion and the Eight Banners Division of the Ministry of Households!

If it were a formal interrogation, the commotion would be huge!

Even if one person's life is not involved, there are two respectable families involved, and Qi Xi's family and Sanguan Bao's family have also formed a big feud!

Jin Chengbi looked at Shu Shu, the rightful lord, and pleaded a bit: "Big Gege, Elder Brother is young and energetic, so he will inevitably think less, but it is a trivial matter to go to court in the army and horse division. With the clan's mansion, it hurts face, it's better to mediate..."

How could Shu Shu not know this truth?
If it really happened that the capital of the two banners and the clan's mansion would be alarmed, Guo Luoluo's family would not be pleased, and Dong E's family would also be gobbled up.

"This silver building is engaged in gold and silver trading, and word of mouth is extremely important. After this time, the shop may be closed, and someone must make up for the loss. I heard that Uncle Gui also opened a silver building on Gulou Street. It can be used as compensation..." Shu Shu said the conditions unhurriedly.

Jin Chengbi smiled wryly, knowing that he would offend others by persuading him, so he had no choice but to ask the scribe to accept the case.

Shu Shu left with a group of people, leaving a steward to watch over the matter.

Whether it's the settlement of the Guidan case before, or the withdrawal of Fusong's case, it's not a one-sentence matter, and relevant documents are still needed. She is not the one who is in a hurry now.
