The layout of the trial court is as follows: the chief officer sits behind the public case in the innermost corner, next to him are the clerks who are on duty in the execution room, and further down on both sides are the yamen servants.
As for the plaintiff or defendant, if they are ordinary people, they cannot even enter the courtroom and can only stand on the platform outside the threshold; but people with a certain status can enter and stand.
So at this moment, Lin Daguan and Shen Erye were both standing inside the door of the government office lobby.
The two plaintiffs present, Lu Qiyao, the manager of the Lu family, and Xu Yuanjing, the general manager of the school book office, were at the front of the case.
When the noise came from the corridor outside, Lin Tailai and Mr. Shen, who were closer to the door, must have heard it clearly before the prefect inside.
Lin Tailai seemed to have heard something terrible, his face changed drastically, he turned around and urged Magistrate Zhu: "Judge! Judge quickly!"
At this time, a clerk who wanted to curry favor with Lin Tailai ran over quickly and strode up the steps.
Then he stood outside the threshold and shouted to Lin Tailai: "Congratulations to Lin Jieyuan! Zhang Siwei."
But as soon as the man said his name, Lin Tailai swung an iron fist and knocked him away.
"Quiet! Who dares to shout and disturb the court?" Lin Daguan stood on the threshold like a door god and roared majestically.
Magistrate Zhu stopped the pen he was about to sign on the verdict book, and felt very keenly that something was wrong.
But sometimes, the general trend of history is like a mighty river, and even the bravest king cannot stop it.
In the blink of an eye, five or six more people came outside the lobby, and even Master Qian, Zhu Zhifu's personal aide, ran over in panic.
He shouted at the top of his lungs into the lobby: "Zhang Fengpan is dead! Zhang Fengpan is dead!"
Master Qian was still afraid that the magistrate inside could not hear clearly if he shouted "died of illness", so he shouted "died" rudely.
Magistrate Zhu finally understood what the news was. It was shouted by his master, and it couldn't be fake.
His wrist trembled a few times, and the pen in his hand fell to the ground. There was no way he could sign the verdict.
Official Lin tried his best, but could not prevent the news from reaching the lobby.
He has no martial arts skills, but at this time he can only close his eyes and sigh, it's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen!
Maybe I was too greedy and wanted to cheat the prefect one last time in the judgment.
But unfortunately, it is impossible to dig every hole successfully. There will always be a limit to how to extract wool from the same person.
The official newspaper clearly stated that Zhang Siwei died of illness. After the news was confirmed to be correct, the government office, which was characterized by Lin Daguan as a "black base of Zhang Siwei's minions", instantly went into a panic.
Han Tongzhi, Zhang Tongpan and the two "Zhang Siwei minions" couldn't sit still at all, and rushed to the lobby together.
Although they didn't know what they could do after the sky fell, they subconsciously went to the tall man like the prefect first.
Before the two of them entered the lobby, they heard the arrogant laughter of "hahahaha".
"What a villain!" The two of them cursed Lin Tailai in their hearts.
But other than cursing in his heart, there seemed to be nothing he could do to Lin Tailai.
The two of them stood at the door of the lobby and looked inside. The hero who dared to stand in the lobby of the government office and laughed wildly was none other than the Second Master of the Shen Mansion.
Lin Tai looked at Shen Yongjia and said, "Young Master Shen can just stand by and act as a background actor. Don't you think it's very abrupt to laugh like this suddenly? It also seriously interferes with other people's performances."
After Mr. Shen stopped laughing, Lin Tailai turned towards Magistrate Zhu, ready to speak.
But Mr. Shen pushed Lin Tailai away and strode to the front of the public case.
In front of Magistrate Zhu, he reached out and grabbed the files stacked on the public case.
Then he struck three times, five divided by two, tore all the files into pieces, and threw them on the ground.
Second Master Shen, who had been cowardly in the eyes of the world for some time, suddenly became arrogant and stunned everyone in the courtroom.
In fact, Second Master Shen's behavior was a great humiliation to the presiding judge. Magistrate Zhu said angrily: "You dare to destroy the official criminal records. Your crime is unpardonable!"
Second Master Shen ignored Magistrate Zhu, turned around, walked up to Lu Qiyao, one of the two plaintiffs present today, and slapped him twice with his bow left and right.
The slap was so sudden that Lu Qiyao didn't even have time to avoid it. He received two firm slaps and subconsciously covered his face.
Second Master Shen rubbed his palms and scolded: "I just took over four of your Lu family's shops and compensated for the arson losses in Hengtang Town. Is this a lot?
I heard that the Lu family has more than a dozen stores in Suzhou. I can leave them to you just for the sake of the fellow villagers. Don’t be dissatisfied!
Is four places more important, or more than a dozen? I advise you people in the Lu family to use your pig brains and weigh the importance carefully!"
After Lu Qiyao came to his senses, he covered his face and shouted: "Withdraw the lawsuit! We withdraw the lawsuit! We won't sue!"
Second Master Shen turned around again and faced Xu Yuanjing, the general manager of the school secretary office, and slapped him with the same big mouth.
Manager Xu, who had been mentally prepared, was actually able to avoid it, but he still didn't move and received the same solid blow.
"Go away!" He was completely unreasonable to the second master Shen of the Xu family and scolded him directly: "If you idiots from the Xu family feel that the Shen Mansion and Xinxin Society can offend at will, then cut off relations!
I want to see if the Xu family in Huqiu can still exist after this year!
Don’t think that my ancestors of the Shen family once sent it under the fence of the Xu family and must recite this incense sentiment now!"
Manager Xu quickly shouted: "I'm withdrawing the lawsuit too! I'm withdrawing the lawsuit!"
Second Master Shen abandoned Manager Xu again, looked around and said, "Who else? Who else?"
No one responded. Second Master Shen stepped on the torn files on the ground, looked at Magistrate Zhu again and said:
"Since the plaintiffs have withdrawn the lawsuit, the file is useless and it is useless to keep it. It should be canceled!"
Lin Tailai, who was pushed away: "."
I was used to being the protagonist, but suddenly I was upstaged and turned into a supporting role, which made me feel a little embarrassed.
Gao Changjiang came over and whispered: "Second Master Shen is even more arrogant than you in the restaurant. I really can't stand it!"
Lin Tailai, who was reduced to a supporting role, crossed his arms in boredom and complained: "Who gave him a good father?"
Gao Changjiang made a very detailed analysis and said: "Second Master Shen's arrogant way is really unreasonable and completely unreasonable. It is simply a matter of venting emotions with very low technical content."
Lin Tailai said: "Actually, our alliance leader's acting skills have improved. At least he has learned to stare and have emotional outbursts, and his face is no longer paralyzed."
Then Lin Tailai sighed again: "Actually, it's understandable that he had an emotional outburst today. After all, he has been very depressed recently."
When the cabinet system was first established, there was not much difference between cabinet ministers. The nominal chief minister was ranked higher than other bachelors.
But since Yang Tinghe in the Zhengde Dynasty, the gap between the chief assistant and the group assistants has become wider and wider, and cabinet politics has entered an era of strong chief assistants.
Therefore, if Zhang Siwei returns to the dynasty and becomes the first assistant, and Shen Shixing retires from the first assistant to an ordinary bachelor, his power will not be reduced in the slightest.
Reflected on the second son of the Shen family, the gap is definitely not as big as usual. It is conceivable that the psychological pressure on the second son of Shen will not be small.
Not to mention that during this period, Mr. Shen always felt that outsiders were talking about him as a coward and not as heroic as Lin Tailai.
So now we must be very arrogant and let everyone in the city know that the second master of the Shen family is still the second master of the Shen family!
After teaching the prefect a lesson, Mr. Shen walked out as if he didn't recognize his relatives.
But when passing by Lin Tailai, he patted Lin Tailai on the shoulder and said calmly: "As the leader of the alliance, I have helped you settle the case, you don't have to worry anymore.
Also, you should pay more attention to the impact of your actions in the future and don’t always end up in court.”
Lin Tailai: "."
After Mr. Shen finished encouraging his allies, he continued walking out.
Lin Tailai stopped Mr. Shen and questioned, "Are you leaving now?"
"What else is going on?" Second Master Shen didn't know why.
Lin Tailai: "Before doing anything, you must have a clear goal of benefit, not just for the sake of pleasure.
Now that you are happy in the government office, what is your real goal? Where is the new income you got?"
Mr. Shen is confused. What does this mean?
Lin Tailai gave a specific example: "For example, we have a very clear goal, which is to let the government government give up the Jinong warehouse.
Now the Jinongcang is still in the hands of the government, and you want to leave now? Why don't you go and persuade the prefect to get the Jinongcang over?"
Second Master Shen glanced into the court and snorted coldly: "You are trying to embarrass me, Second Master Shen, and Prefect Zhu will definitely not do it."
Lin Tailai sighed: "At the critical moment, I still need to come forward. I will go inside and persuade Governor Zhu."
At this moment, the manager who "captured" Lin Tai and brought him to the government office appeared outside the lobby with a group of sergeants.
Lin Tailai stared closely at Mr. Nian, could he still want to jump over the wall?
Mr. Nian put on a flattering smile on his face and said hello:
