A group of people knelt in the court, waiting for the person who was trying the case to speak.

But Priest Cui said he would go to the court, but he was not in a hurry to interrogate.

Instead, someone raised the chair and placed it aside, which was obviously a seat for the audience.

Young Master Du turned his head slightly and saw that Butler Du next to him seemed to be shaking slightly.

Seeing his young master's gaze, Butler Du also turned his neck stiffly, revealing his sweat all over his face.

Young Master Du glared at him and thought to himself, what happened to this housekeeper? I am afraid that he will be a member of his Du family?

Butler Du opened his mouth and was about to slap him a few times. Prefect Cui, who was sitting in the head, suddenly stood up.

Butler Du shivered and quickly lowered his head, not daring to raise it again.

However, Priest Cui ignored the two people's small movements and said to Eunuch Liu and Lu Qianhu who were walking in from outside: "Please sit down, two sirs."

Although he, the prefect, was the largest official present, Eunuch Liu was the envoy of the emperor and represented the emperor.

Needless to say, the Jinyiwei was also doing things directly to the emperor.

Priest Cui was naturally polite to both of them.

After sitting down, Eunuch Liu and Lu Qianhu sat down and said to Magistrate Cui, "Our family entered the city today and happened to encounter someone complaining."

"The Lord of the Lord has always been sympathetic to the people. Since our family has seen it, we must listen to this matter clearly. When we return to the palace to submit the imperial edict tomorrow, the Lord of the Lord can tell you something when he asks."

"Please start with Lord Cui."

When Young Master Du heard the words of the imperial envoy, he was secretly surprised.

Today he arranged for his housekeeper to find Zhao Ce and was about to kill him directly.

For this reason, he also found a lot of relationships.

Now that the imperial envoy is here, the person who is trying the case has also changed from the prefect to the prefect himself.

There were too many changes, and he couldn't react for a while.

But since the complaint is released, it will definitely not be taken back.

Otherwise, wouldn’t his charge of teasing the court be confirmed directly?

After all, when Butler Du made a fuss at the entrance of the academy, almost all the students in the entire palace saw it.

Mr. Du swallowed his saliva, as if he had figured out what was going on with the sweat on Butler Du's forehead just now.

Prefect Cui had already sat back in his position and looked at the person below without looking sideways.

"Who is the one who complains? Explain the reason quickly!"

Butler Du gritted his teeth and said hesitantly: "Xiao, Xiaomin is the butler of Du Mansion. He wants to sue Zhao and Zhao Ce, the scholar of Gaowen Academy."

Priest Cui slapped the auspicious tree and said majestic: "Although Zhao Ce is the head of the trial case chosen by our government, our government will never be biased."

"Today, there are the imperial envoys and the Jinyiwei next to you. If you have any grievances, you will be quick to say that, and this mansion will definitely make the decision for you!"

Hearing the words of the prefect Cui, Butler Du couldn't help but turn his head to look at his young master.

Mr. Du's face was not very good-looking, so he could only wink at him.

The play has begun, so I have to continue singing.

However, Young Master Du was not too panicked. After all, although their plan could not be perfect, they could not catch any handle.

At most, in the end, the prefect and Xi Ni just let him and Zhao Ce understand each other.

When Butler Du received the look of his young master, he could only continue to bite the bullet and organize the words at the entrance of the Mansion School, and then describe them again.

After hearing this, Master Cui touched his chin with a beard and said with a slight expression: "As a living, would he actually do such a thing as bullying men and dominating women?"

Priest Cui sang: "Come here! Zhao Ce, a student of Xuan's residence, came to the hall!"

The yamen next to him was ordered and soon went down to Xuanren.

Zhao Ce had already brought the contract and was outside early.

The crowd outside the government office was crowded with scholars, and almost all the scholars of the government chief gathered here.

After hearing the summons, Zhao Ce walked in slowly and slowly.

Now he is a scholar, and he doesn't have to kneel down when he goes to court.

Zhao Ce bowed with both hands and said respectfully: "Student Zhao Ce, pay homage to all the adults."

When Qianhu, the Jinyiwei on the side saw Zhao Ce's performance, he couldn't help but secretly applaud.

Those who can be commended by the court are either truly great charity who has made contributions to the people, or they are real warriors with such extraordinary demeanor.

Just looking at Zhao Ce's appearance, you know that he will never do such dirty things.

After Zhao Ce finished his greeting, he looked down at the Du family kneeling on the ground.

Young Master Du looked up at him, and Zhao Ce raised his eyebrows provocatively at him.

Young Master Du gritted his teeth and turned his face with a gloomy face.

——But a student doesn’t have to kneel down when he goes to class. What’s so great about it?

If he hadn't inherited his family property and had studied business since he was a child and wasted his studies, he would now be a juren!

When Magistrate Cui saw Zhao Ce going to court, he was still calm and clear-talked, and he was also a little satisfied.

He nodded and said, "Zhao Ce, today someone sued you as a child, bullying the male to dominate the market and trying to occupy other people's private property."

"Is there any such thing?"

Zhao Ce replied calmly: "That's not true when I say that, sir."

"The students were wronged."

Priest Cui turned his head to look at Butler Du: "Zhao Xiucai is a student of our residence. Since you sued him, how can you be sure of evidence?"

Butler Du replied: "I will definitely have it if you go back to my master."

"This Zhao Xiucai's family is going to buy a shop in Fucheng, and he originally had a fancy to a shop in our Du family."

"It's a pity that my shop had made an agreement with the Liu family earlier to sell it to their home."

"It was just because of negligence that we did not withdraw our licence at Yaxing at that time. Mrs. Liu and Yaxing, who are in charge of the Liu family, can testify."

"Later, when my young master learned that Mr. Zhao had a crush on my shop, he came to the door to explain the inside story with Mrs. Liu."

"Mrs. Liu learned that Zhao Xiucai was a little boy from Tong Shi Xiao, so she generously expressed her understanding and asked my young master to transfer the store to him."

"My young master came to my house the next day and after he compensated Mr. Zhao, he decided to reduce the store price by 100 taels."

“…”

After Butler Du said this, he suddenly became silent.

Prefect Cui frowned slightly: "What about?"

Butler Du gritted his teeth and continued, "Then... when he was about to sign the contract, Zhao and Zhao Xiucai said that his family was not enough money and he had to wait two days to prepare the silver before paying off the silver."

"My young master is generous. If you want to make friends with him, he will give him a store contract first and ask him to clean up the store first."

"As for signing the contract, it will be suspended and pushed to the day when the money is settled."

"But I don't expect that when Xiaomin brought people to the door today to hand over the store key and signed a contract with Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao actually used only a few copper coins to dismiss Xiaomin!"
