Someone stopped a carriage in the street to complain and sue the dead second son of the Zhuo family. The matter quickly spread and became a new topic of conversation in the capital.

Yesterday, the matter between the Zhou family and the Zhuo family was still at the center of the excitement. Today's incident has directly pushed these two families into the spotlight.

Shi Fuyin immediately took the complainant back to Jingzhao Mansion and questioned him in detail.

Zhuo Shangshu's old face turned green and white, and he ordered his confidants to follow him quickly to find out what was going on.

The second young master of the Zhuo family has been seriously injured and died. Just now in the court, he praised the second young master Zhuo to the emperor as if he were like a flower. He used a lot of words such as saying that a young man has become a talent and has unparalleled talent. Because of this, Zhou

Jian Zhengcai was dismissed on the spot.

If it is revealed that Young Master Zhuo has bad character as soon as he turns around, then...

He threw off the curtain with all his strength and thought about his strategy: "Go home!"

Gu Yunyao was waiting outside the door of Jingzhao Mansion, wearing a cloak and a curtain hat, covering her head tightly.

Seeing Sihu being taken back to the Yamen by Shi Fuyin, he was raised to the court for interrogation.

Sihu dressed up like a country boy, handed over the petition, and burst into tears: "Sir, I have pity on my little brother. He is only fourteen years old. He is smart and cute, and can read and write. He is the hope of our whole village.

Who would have thought that if I was not at home for one day, he would be forcibly taken away by Zhuo Yan and he would never come back again...

Sir, you must avenge my little brother!"

He kowtowed hard, making a thumping sound.

Gu Yunyao clasped her hands and secretly admired: A macho man crying is more distressing than pear blossoms with rain.

Shi Fuyin's tone was slightly softer: "Do you have any evidence?"

Sihu was stunned for a moment, and seemed to remember something again: "Sir, this villain is a rough man and doesn't understand what evidence is.

However, I have two things here, I wonder if they can be used as evidence."

"Send it up!"

The yamen servant took the things handed over by Sihu and put them on Shifu Yin's desk.

Looking closely, one saw a fifty-tael silver note with the name of the bank clearly written on it and a small private seal attached, which was the name of Zhuo Yan, the second son of Zhuo.

The second is a waist badge with the word "Zhuo" in the middle.

Many prominent families in the capital will make waist tags and distribute them to their servants. Different colors and patterns represent different statuses of the owners of the waist tags.

For example, this one must be used by at least a steward or confidant.

Shifu Yin looked at Sihu. A country boy like Sihu probably didn't even know which way the main door of Zhuo Mansion opened, let alone stealing a badge.

"Come here," Shi Fuyin ordered, "go check this banknote."

"yes."

"Also, go to Zhuo's house and find out who has lost their badges. If found, bring them here."

"yes."

Gu Yunyao thought to herself that Master Shi was really rigorous, and he couldn't identify it just by looking at it.

Fortunately, these things are real and not fake, so don’t be afraid to check them out.

At this time, I heard Shifu Yin ask Sihu again: "Who did you ask to write the complaint? How did you know that you came to me to redress your grievances?

You said this happened two months ago, why did you just think of filing a complaint today?"

Gu Yunyao held her breath.

Sihu wiped away his tears and said, "Sir, I also want to sue as soon as possible, but everyone says that the Zhuo family is powerful.

The Second Young Master Zhuo also said that there was an uncle in their family, who was...a high-ranking official of the second rank.

The villain has no money and power, so he can only wander back and forth in front of Zhuo's house, hoping to see his little brother. For this reason, he also..."

As he spoke, he pulled up his sleeves to reveal the bruises and scars on his body.

"After being beaten several times, an old servant was kind-hearted and secretly told the villain that the villain's younger brother died the next day after he was brought back and was thrown into a mass grave.

The villain searched for the bones again, and after finding and confirming them, he came to report.

The Zhuangzi was written with the help of an old scholar whom the villain met in the temple. It was also he who gave guidance to the villain and came to complain to the adults.

He said that the adults are rare good and honest officials who are not afraid of power and only want to redress the injustices of poor people like the villain. If the adults can't take care of it, then the villain doesn't need to sue."

Sihu knelt forward a few steps and shouted loudly: "Sir, please have mercy on my little brother. He is a handful of bones at a young age and died unjustly. Sir..."

There was silence in the lobby, and Shi Fuyin's face was as sinking as water.

Gu Yunyao let out a breath. Although Sihu was pretending to be an "elder brother", the injustice he said was true.

During the rehearsal yesterday, Gu Yunyao was still worried that the Four Tigers would not be good at acting. But when they saw her, she not only had good acting skills, but also made people empathize with them.

Shi Fuyin nodded: "Don't worry, if it is found to be true, I will definitely give you justice."

"Thank you, sir!"

Soon, the yamen officer who went to investigate came back.

The bank note is genuine and is in the name of Mr. Zhuo Er.

The waist card is also real. The owner is a big housekeeper next to Mr. Zhuo. He was leading people to cause trouble in front of Zhou's house and was brought back directly.

However, he said that the waist card was just lost.

He knelt down in the lobby. When he heard Shi Fuyin's question and then looked at Sihu, he was confused and denied it.

"Sir, this is impossible. I have never seen him, let alone any of his younger brothers.

This badge was still there yesterday afternoon because something happened in the house and I didn’t bother to report it yet. He must have picked it up and slandered my young master..."

"You're talking nonsense!" Sihu's eyes widened, "You beat me, and you still don't admit it.

I can't even get in, how can I steal your badge?

Besides, I destroyed a temple outside the city yesterday, and as evidenced by the beggar, your token has obviously been lost a long time ago."

Without waiting for the butler to retort, Sihu rolled up his sleeves and said, "I saw that you beat me with an iron rod. My bones were almost broken with such a thick iron rod!"

When he gestured, it must be as thick as a duck egg.

The housekeeper sneered: "That's bullshit. You can't even tell lies. I always use whistle sticks and iron rods to deal with people like you. You..."

"Sir, he admitted it!" Sihu shouted.

Shi Fuyin was shocked: "How on earth did you follow Zhuo Yan to rob people and commit murder, and you brought him truthfully!"

The housekeeper was stunned.

"Sir, I didn't mean that, I..."

Gu Yunyao couldn't help but want to applaud him. The four tigers looked naive, but in fact they were rough and delicate, and they were very showy.

Just as I was enjoying watching it, I suddenly heard the sound of drumming.

Shi Fuyin raised his head: "Who is playing the drum?"

The yamen servant quickly came to report: "Returning to your lord, the visitor said that his brother was asked by the Zhuo family to copy calligraphy and paintings. He has not returned yet. However, the Zhuo family said that he left long ago and he came to ask for your help to find his whereabouts."

"Bring the people up."

Gu Yunyao turned around and looked at the people who came with the government officials through the gauze. The people watching around him also whispered.

"It seems that the Zhuo family is really unclean."

"Who knows that Second Young Master Zhuo has the qualities of Long Yang?"

"What's the use of complaining now, Zhuo Er is already dead..."

"Don't you understand this? If Zhuo Er hadn't died, would they have succeeded?"

While he was talking, the visitor knelt down in the hall.

The housekeeper stared at the visitor: "Who are you? You dare to sue our Zhuo family. Seeing that you are also a domestic slave, who is your master?"
