"Come, come, let me see what the first lawsuit in office is like."

Xu Xiu opened the pleading paper directly outside the courtyard. It doesn't matter if you don't read it, it will kill you if you look at it.

His hands trembled involuntarily, and he hurriedly said, "Xu Yang, Xu Yang, come here quickly."

Xu Xiu, who suppressed the discomfort, hurriedly called Xu Yang.

Seeing him supporting himself, he said: "We have been tricked, I said why Lu Heng is so weird, so he just wanted to bully me, a stunned young man."

Xu Yang didn't understand, so he took the pleading paper and looked at it, only to see that it read: Zhu Lin, the son of Cheng Guogong Zhu Fu, sued Xu Pengju, the son of Wei Guogong Xu Yu...forcibly robbing his fiancée.

It's clear that it's a fight between gods and gods, and bureaucrats at this level don't want to accept such a lawsuit, so they can only use him as a newcomer to make up for it in the end.

Xu Xiu smiled wryly: "No matter how this matter is judged, I will lose. Is it true that I will resign on the first day of taking office?"

The yamen servant who was silently sweeping the floor beside him said, "I'm afraid it's too late to go through this procedure if I resign now." After speaking, he shook his head and continued to sweep the floor.

Xu Xiu was also very discouraged when he heard what this yamen servant said, yes, it is definitely not possible to resign now, and this paper of pleadings should not be withdrawn either. He played this play for himself, and it was obvious that he had to accept the paper of pleadings.

Sitting in the lobby, Xu Xiu touched the gavel, couldn't help but lifted it up and patted it heavily, and said to Xu Yang: "Since my teacher is ill, I haven't patted the table. Now I have the opportunity to slap it hard. You can shoot whatever you want, just encounter such a thing, what do you think it is?"

Before Xu Yang could speak, the servant who bowed his head and swept the floor said again: "So what, don't you want to uphold justice?"

He was a bit against the light, Xu Xiu couldn't see clearly, squinted his eyes and said: "You are really brave."

Xu Yang said: "The master should call that Zhu Lin to ask to understand."

Xu Xiu leaned on the table and said: "That's fine. Send someone to Cheng Guogong's mansion." The yamen servant who swept the floor said: "I'm afraid I need adults to come to the door by themselves."

Thinking of the face of the complainant, Xu Xiu had a headache and asked, "What's your name?"

The man lowered his head and said calmly: "The villain is called Lazy Dragon."

"...It's an imposing name. You said that I want to go in person?"

"No matter how you judge, you must give a good impression, right?"

Xu Yang also said: "Yes, sir, you can go there just once."

Stretching the black yarn and shaking the official robe, Xu Xiu Zheng said: "Since that's the case, then go and meet the Duke of Cheng."

He walked away without taking any horses, just because he couldn't ride.

The yamen servant twitched his mouth and continued to sweep the floor.

……

It is often said that the Hou's family is as deep as the sea, and this Guogong's mansion, which is on the same day as the country, is even more majestic and full of people.

Xu Xiu put his hands on his sleeves and said, "Go, lamb!"

Picking up the door stickers that he had prepared a long time ago, Xu Yang knocked on the door and asked, "Is there anyone in the house?"

Seeing someone come out, Xu Yang handed over the door stickers, and had to wait for the rest.

Not long after, an old man came out to see Xu Xiu and said, "Your Excellency will come to the door in person, please come in, the father-in-law and the second son are here."

"Please."

The seven meat and eight vegetables brought by this servant finally entered the main hall, Xu Xiu bowed and said: "Xiaoguan Xu Xiu has seen the lord. I have seen the young master."

Cheng Guogong and his son all cupped their hands, Zhu Fu seemed to be in poor health, and his voice was louder than his own voice, and said: "Master Xu, please sit down."

Xu Xiu sat half-ass on the chair, saw that he didn't ask, so she had no choice but to speak up, and said: "The official first came to Jiangning County to sit in court, and today he took a case from the lord's house, and came here to understand the situation."

When Zhu Lin saw him asking, he said in a cold voice: "I have a marriage certificate with that Fu Niang as proof, Xu Pengju forced his way into the Duke of Wei's mansion, please Xu Zhi County to close the case as soon as possible, the longer Fu Niang stays in his mansion, Innocence affects innocence."

Seeing his unfriendly tone, Xu Xiu also understood very well. No one was happy that his fiancée who had a marriage certificate was robbed by someone else, so he immediately said: "Since there is a marriage certificate as proof, why doesn't Duke Wei's mansion let her go?"

Zhu Fu said flatly: "This is an adult's business. How can I wait for the nobles to solve it in private?"

Zhu Lin's face turned serious and he said sharply: "Xuzhi County, I don't care how you civil servants push back and forth and refuse to accept the case. Since you accept it, you must settle this case for me. Otherwise, Jinlinghe will not miss you. s position."

Zhu Fuyan couldn't help but said: "How can you be so rude." He also said: "No matter how the adults judge, you must find this person tomorrow."

Seeing this, Xu Xiu could only say: "I will do my best."

"It's not about doing your best, but about having to. See off guests."

……

It's bitter, Xu Xiu's heart sank when he was sent out warmly and thoughtfully by the housekeeper of Cheng Guogong's mansion. This was definitely intentional, otherwise why would he treat each other with sneering words inside, but become so enthusiastic outside Thoughtful, and I have to respond enthusiastically, I really can't help it.

It seems that everyone in the Wenhan Society is right. The so-called magistrates who broke the family and the governors who destroyed the family are definitely not talking about the situation in the two capitals. Just encountered such a difficult case.

Back at the yamen, Xu Xiu continued to sit on the table in the lobby, indeed very dignified, with a mirror hanging high above her head, at the entrance of the lobby was a stone tablet of Ershierluminzhiminzhi that Emperor Hongwu said, and there were several human skin scarecrows in the room on the left , It was windy.

Xu Yang said worriedly: "A Niu, don't be so depressed."

"Then there must be a way." Xu Xiu, who was in a bad mood, said helplessly.

The yamen servant named Lazy Dragon said: "My lord, this is a post from Duke Wei's mansion."

After receiving this post and looking at it, no matter how good-tempered Xu Xiu was, she couldn't help snorting: "What a prestige, since I have accepted the pleadings, it means that the case has not yet been closed, and it is unreasonable to marry before the case is closed."

It was because the post sent by Duke Wei's mansion was a wedding invitation, stating that Xu Pengju was an invitation to marry Nafu Niang.

The Duke of Wei's family had a happy event, and it was unlikely that the invitation would be given to such a small seventh-rank county magistrate. The only possibility was that the warm and thoughtful housekeeper sent him out before, and the Duke of Wei's mansion must have seen it.

"Snapped!"

Xu Xiu tapped the gavel and couldn't help saying: "It's really deceiving people too much. This advantage didn't win the award, but kicked the ball to me. Before I asked about the situation, this Wei Guogong wants Mr. to cook rice?"

Xu Yang said: "I will get married at noon tomorrow, what should I do?"

"Wei Guogong, Wei Guogong, this official has just arrived, and you are about to get married before the trial. You really don't take a county magistrate like me seriously."

It's very natural, it's not normal for the Duke of the State, who is living with the country, to put Qipin county magistrate in his eyes.

Xu Xiu fixed her eyes, got up and left.The steps were hurried, and there was a whirring sound.

Xu Yang stopped him and said nervously, "Master, where are you going?"

Xu Xiu asked strangely, "I took out the uncooked rice while it was still uncooked. What's wrong?"

Hearing this, the lazy dragon was slightly taken aback, and a trace of worry rose in his heart.

Xu Yang hurriedly said: "I can't go, I can't go."

Xu Xiu snorted and said, "Either get Fu Niang out today, or I'll be squatting in the prison of the soldiers and horses."

The lazy dragon said: "My lord, do you really have the guts?"

Xu Xiu glanced at him, and said coldly, "If I don't have the guts, how can I be a small county magistrate in this capital? How can I gain a foothold?"

Xu Xiu straightened his black gauze hat, and said solemnly: "I'm still a top-notch Jinshi wearing a black gauze hat, so it doesn't matter if I go, his mansion may not be like a dragon's pond or a tiger's lair."

Just as he was about to walk out of the county office, the lazy dragon said: "My lord, will Duke Wei let you in?"

"I took the invitation card he gave and went to give the gift. Can you keep me out?"

Xu Yang tugged at his cuffs and said, "What should I use as a gift?"

This question stumped Xu Xiu. What he has always insisted on is that money is enough. This road is full of food for the imperial court, and the money he has accumulated up to now is not much. If he just buys one on the street Gifts will definitely not be able to catch Wei Guogong's eyes.

"Dong Qi, yes, send the jar of champion red that Dong Qi sent."

Xu Yang said with some reluctance: "Mr. Dong Qi sent it, it's not suitable..."

Xu Xiu gritted her teeth and said, "If you can't bear the child, you can't catch the wolf, if you can't bear the wife, you can't catch the hooligan."

Watching the Zhuangyuan Hong carried by the two yamen servants follow behind.

Xu Xiu thought to herself: if this jar of wine should be exchanged for Fu Niang, it's time to test her ability.
