Brother Jiu's face turned dark, and he didn't commit adultery. Who could read "The Laws of the Qing Dynasty" properly?
The prince who goes to study has to study Confucian classics such as the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as mathematics, Mandarin, Mongolian, and riding and archery. His schedule is full.
Because my ninth elder brother liked it, he also learned Italian and French. Who would go to study the Fa again?
He was able to come out today only after handing in a note of leave.
Shu Shu shook his head, with sympathy in his eyes. Anyone who read "The Laws of the Qing Dynasty" would not have the courage to cause the farce in front of him.
The law is ruthless, especially now that Emperor Kangxi is on the throne, he not only promotes Confucianism, but also emphasizes the legal system.
The legal system, like Confucianism, is a good weapon to concentrate 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 intolerant.
The sound of a panic could be heard in front of the screen, and then the officials shouted: "Take the plaintiff with a yellow flag, the fifth minister of Manchuria, the fifteenth assistant... Guard Guidan..."
Gui Dan glanced at Shu Shu proudly, and then walked out from the back hall in a majestic and high-spirited manner. He was dressed as a third-class guard of the fifth rank, two ranks higher than Jin Yingbi, the commander of the sixth rank of the Army and Horses Division!
Jin Yingbi gritted his molar teeth and stood up, making a hand-over-hand salute to Guidan.
Guidan accepted it with great enthusiasm and returned the gift lightly.
In the crowd watching, some people immediately started talking.
"Ha! I'm here wearing a top. How do I judge the commander?" Someone was worried about the commander.
"How can we judge? The Dong E family doesn't deserve it? Mr. Qi is still a first-class man..." The old man Zheng Hongqi carrying the birdcage is still optimistic about the Dong E family.
"How can it be the same? I am a young man, and if you come out as an old man, you will lose your status..." The young bannermen are more optimistic about Guidan, the prince's cousin, and a strong backer. The Dong E family was not only the founding minister, but also several lifetimes ago.
Scenery.
Shu Shu was not surprised when Guidan came directly to court.
This bastard, inside and out, has these two tricks: "a dog relies on the power of others" and "a fox pretends to be a tiger's power".
This year is the year when the Eight Banners select bodyguards and worshippers every five years. Others are still asking for the places for bodyguards to pass the exam, but Gui Dan has already put on the bodyguard uniform. Why?
Isn't it just because my aunt is a palace concubine and my cousin is a prince, so the guards have been reserved for a long time.
Guidan went to court wearing this skin because she felt that it was a deterrent to the commander and Dong E's family.
Shu Shu looked at Brother Ninth, who indeed had a bit of pride and determination on his face. It seemed that the two cousins had the same brain circuit, but he didn't want to think that since the Dong E family dared to take on the lawsuit, they would be afraid of a third-class person.
shrimp?
In the courtroom, the official has raised his voice again: "It is said that the defendant is the head of Shun'an Bank... a flag officer under the banner of the fourth colonel and fifth colonel of Manchuria of Xianglan Banner... Aixinjueluo Fusong..."
The hall immediately fell silent, and even the back hall also became quiet.
Brother Jiu gritted his teeth, stared at Shu Shu with a look of disbelief on his face, and said bitterly: "You want to be shameless?"
Shu Shu raised her eyebrows and spoke in a calm tone: "This is not the second master Jin's 'beads and jade first', I'm just 'seeing the wise'..."
If the other party hadn't had the idea of "using power to overwhelm others", would Guidan have been allowed to go into battle in person?
It was just a disguised form of pressure to make the commander of the Northern Army and Horses be biased when conducting the trial. Now he is just responding in the same way.
In the front hall, Jin Chengbi had already stood up to greet him, and asked someone to bring a chair up to the hall, where he respectfully asked Fu Song to take his seat.
Despite the fact that Fu Song is not yet a man and does not have a yellow belt on his body, the "national surname" is not a joke. They all show the blood of their ancestors, and first-grade officials must be greeted by greetings when they see him, let alone a mere sixth-grade official.
"Plaintiff Gui Dan, the 15th colonel of the 5th Manchurian Council under the banner of Xianghuang Banner, filed a complaint on the 13th of this month, accusing Shun'an Silver House of selling counterfeit gold and silver jewelry?"
Jin Yingbi sat down again, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and began to ask questions.
When he was in the back hall just now, no one introduced him. Jin Chengbi didn't know that this big Buddha was hidden. Now that all the lords of the country were in the hall, his premonition became worse and worse.
"It is indeed me who submitted the complaint, accusing Shun An Bank of selling substandard goods and selling fake goods! And there is witness evidence!"
Guidan noticed something had changed and looked at Fusong with fear, but she still held her stomach high, spoke confidently, and handed over the "evidence" involved in the case.
A pair of gold bracelets with longevity characters, a gold flat square with blessing characters, and a golden plum blossom hairpin are all common gold ornaments, which are both decent for personal use and as gifts.
At present, these ornaments are all damaged. They are clearly cut and the silver inside is revealed. They are actually gold covered with silver, with only a thin layer of gold skin on the outside.
The jewelry has the stamp of Shun'an Silver House, and there is also an "after-sales ticket" issued by Shun'an Silver House, which states that a certain piece of jewelry will be sold in a certain year and month, and the pure gold weighs a few taels, and it can be cleaned for free within one year.
Ticket replacement style.
The manager who had previously come forward to buy gold jewelry also came forward as a "witness witness" and dictated that he went to the bank to buy gold jewelry on a certain day in a certain month.
Jin Yingbi became serious and looked at Fusong: "Brother, do you have anything to say?"
Fusong took out two booklets from the bag in his hand and said: "This is the account book of the silver house's jewelry storage and the account of the cabinet. They are all traced, indicating the material, weight and size of the jewelry... Just compare these few evidences.
'The size and weight, if both are right, then let's talk about the other things..."
In this comparison, the specifications and sizes are correct, but the weight is completely different. It is only half the weight on the bill. A pair of gold bracelets weighing six taels weighs only three taels and four cents; a flat square weighing five taels and four cents only weighs three taels; and a pair of two taels weighs only three taels.
A six-coin gold hairpin only costs one to two or five cents.
After hearing this conclusion, everyone in the hall naturally understood.
No one is a fool. The difference between gold and silver can be fooled.
If the family was poor and had never touched gold or silver, it would still be vague, but the Guo Luoluo family was obviously not among them.
Shu Shu glanced at Brother Ninth, who hadn't asked before? How could Guidan dare to file a lawsuit with such "physical evidence" full of loopholes?
Brother Jiu still didn't understand that Dong E's family had come prepared, but Guidan fell into a trap. He stood up and ordered the people around him: "Withdraw the lawsuit!" After that, he glared at Shu Shu and strode away.
Jin Chengbi in the front hall received a message from the officials and knew that the man in the back hall had finally withdrawn his complaint. He almost cried with joy. He made a decisive decision and slapped the scaffold: "The guard Gui Dan, the 15th colonel of Manchuria with a yellow flag, filed a lawsuit
There is insufficient evidence in the case of counterfeit gold and silver jewelry sold by Shun'an Yinlou. The complaint is withdrawn! Withdraw from court!"
Immediately, the government officials dispersed the crowd and closed the government door.
Guidan didn't know how to be fearless, but still made strong arguments and said angrily: "Where is the lack of evidence? Can the stamp and the bill be fake? If Master Jin's confused judgment is followed, then the silver building can continue to be sold.
False, harming the military and civilians..."
Jin Yingbi was upset and wanted to continue to give advice, but Fusong had already looked at Shu Shu who came in from the back hall.
Shu Shu nodded. No one is a fool. A lawsuit is not something that the other party can fight whenever they want or withdraw the case whenever they want.
Fusong immediately took out a few pieces of paper from his bag, stood up and said sternly to Jin Chengbi: "I want to sue Guidan for forging evidence and falsely accusing him of seizing the property! There is evidence from the confession of Wang Da, the silversmith who was bribed by him, as well as the
Zhao Jian, the craftsman of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who forged the silver, has a confession as proof!"
Guidan's face turned pale and she was speechless.
Jin Chengbi felt that his head was "buzzing", so he sold fake sticks for eighty yuan according to the "Qing Dynasty Law" and "falsely accused" him instead!
The defendant Gui Dan is an official. This is not a simple money dispute. It involves the seizure of property. It is not a case that the small Army and Horses Bureau can accept. It must alert the superior Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Army and Horses Division and the two banners of Manchuria.
Yamen, Zongrenfu and the Eight Banners Department of the Household Department!
If there were a formal interrogation, the news would be huge!
Even if no life is involved, the dignity of two families is involved, and the Qi Xi family and the Sanguan Bao family have also forged a big feud!
Jin Chengbi looked at Shu Shu, the principal, with a bit of pleading: "Da Gege, I am young and energetic, so I will inevitably think less. However, it is a trivial matter to file a lawsuit in the Military and Horse Division. If it causes trouble to the higher-ups, both flags will be alarmed."
It would be a shame to go to the clan mansion, so it would be better to mediate..."
How could Shu Shu not understand this truth?
If it really comes down to the situation, both the two banners and the clan will be alarmed, the Guo Luoluo family will not be able to please, and the Dong E family will also be gossiped about.
"This silver shop is engaged in gold and silver trading, and its reputation is very important. After this incident, it is inevitable that the shop will be closed. Someone must make up for the losses. I heard that Uncle Gui also opened a silver shop on Gulou Street, so I reluctantly
As compensation..." Shu Shu said the conditions slowly.
Jin Chengbi smiled bitterly, knowing that if he tried to persuade others, he would offend others, so he had to ask the clerk to accept the complaint.
Shu Shu walked away with a group of people, leaving a steward behind to keep an eye on the matter.
Whether it was the previous settlement of the Guidan case for compensation or the withdrawal of the case by Fusong, it was not a matter of just one sentence and required relevant documents. She was not the one who was anxious now.
