Early in the morning, the prefect of Shuntian accepted Zhang Bao's drumming and complaining about his injustice. After seeing the paper, he felt embarrassed. Xu Kun was enough to make people confused. △

However, the plaintiff will not falsely accuse a good person of threats for no reason. If Xu Kun and others deserve the crime, how can they not propose a trial?

Shuntian Mansion, in a dilemma, announced a suspension and called his aides to discuss.

The master saw that he was concerned about the Xu family and smiled confidently: "Dongweng, this matter is actually very easy. Even if the plaintiff Zhang Bao's accusation is true, he just wants them to spend money to buy something, so Dongweng asked to send someone to check whether the deceased really swallowed the money. If it is true, he would order the subpoena of the defendant to sign the certificate of the defendant to go to the case. The student instructed the following people in private to pass the message to the Xu family Yin family, so that there is no need to worry, they would go and cook."

"Not bad." The prefect of Shuntian suddenly realized.

Such cases are the same in later generations. Suicide cases are not murder cases, but they are not serious in nature. Often, the families of the deceased first sue the court for legal proceedings. Some defendants entrusted lawyers to propose out-of-court settlement for various reasons, that is, they spent money to settle privately.

As long as the plaintiff chooses to withdraw the lawsuit, the court will generally respect the opinions of both parties and will not pursue the matter.

The Zhang family's case was clear at a glance, just to ask for money, so the case was easy to handle. At that time, Shuntian Mansion sent someone to perform a autopsy, and it turned out that he committed suicide by swallowing money. Those coroners were handled by the Zhang family, and no one revealed the identity of the Zhang family's prostitute. To be honest, the Zhang family is indeed a civilian who is engaged in dust-filled work.

After receiving a reply, the prefect of Shuntian immediately sent someone to summon some people to confront the case.

Xu Mansion, sweaty Xu Xiang walked into the study room, and Xu Kun smiled and said, "I am impatient. I must give them some benefits today to know that we are not easy to mess with."

"Stop talking." Xu Feng shook his hands together, looking panicked, "Now that someone has been killed, I will discuss with you and quickly find a way to make up for it. If the trouble breaks out, you and I will be inconvenient."

Xu Kun was shocked and asked, "What's wrong? He was fussy. It's just a big deal that kills people and we didn't kill people."

"Although it's not a murder, it's also a life lawsuit. Alas!"

Xu Xu sighed and stomped his feet repeatedly, then told Ru Jin's death. Zhang Bao went to sue the official early in the morning, "Fortunately, the old man Shuntian Mansion has a good relationship with me. He secretly ordered the sender to inform us and quickly make up the matter clearly. As long as the Zhang family does not pursue him, they can go there vaguely."

Xu Kun was stunned. He never thought that Ru Jin would commit suicide? At this point, he didn't regret it. He blamed himself for being petty and having a good life.

Xu Xu said to himself: "I think Zhang Bao sued us for threatening his daughter to commit suicide. There was no evidence at all, but since he dared to sue, he must have consulted a famous lawyer. Naturally, he made some improper arguments and it was difficult to tell the truth about the truth. Besides, how can you and me go to court to confront each other? That's not the case.

The man came to my house first. I went to Yin's house now and I would come to you when I was young, so I will take the lead in deliberation with you. How to deal with it? Although we are not afraid, this case is related to great reputation."

Xu Feng cared about his reputation, but Xu Kun didn't care. He stayed for a while and said, "Zhang Bao actually had such courage. His daughter died tragically and did not think about her funeral. He actually dared to fabricate confessions to sue us. Am I so stingy? There must be someone who instigated me. Rujin, why are you willing to seek death? It's such a strange thing."

"Isn't that?" Xu Feng couldn't help but complain, "It's our fault. If you hadn't humiliated her with words, how could she be willing to seek short-sighted views in such a free and easy life? Perhaps seeing that we were leaving, the Yin-s surnamed was also angry and couldn't think of it for a moment."

As he was speaking, his family came in and said, "Two tolerance officers have come to Shuntian Mansion. If you have something to do, you have to report to the young master."

"Call them in." Xu Kun waved his hand, and Xu Xu hurriedly hid inside.

Soon the family brought the man in with the mansion, and Xu Kun asked pretending to be unknown: "What's the matter with you?"

A toll-man said, "One of the time, I will pay my respects to Mr. Xu, and secondly, I have something to do, so please check it out."

He handed over the document from Zhu Zai from Shuntian Mansion with both hands. Xu Kun took it and took it to see it. He still handed Zhu Zai to the toll and said, "It's outrageous. It's obvious that the Zhang family's corpse is blackmailed. Why are you Shuntian Mansion accurate?"

The toll hurriedly said, "It was inaccurate at first, but the coroner said it was indeed a devourer. Zhang Bao said it was a sure thing, and he told the young masters that he threatened his daughter to die. Therefore, I asked the young masters to come to the hall to confront him, and the right and wrong will be clear."

Another consignee took a step closer and whispered: "Young Master, my master also knows that the Zhang family was deliberately blackmailing, but his daughter committed suicide, and he insisted on your coercion. Even if the confrontation is to argue the authenticity, how can you come to court as a young master? Even if you send your family, you are afraid that Zhang Bao is a stubborn person, saying that the prince violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people, and refused to confront the servants. How decent the young masters are, and their reputation is indecent."

"Yes." Xu Kun nodded indifferently. In fact, he was afraid in his heart. Who would rather go to the yamen? Besides, if the third uncle found out...

In fact, he still doesn't understand Xu Hao's character. This kind of thing can only be considered an accident. What we have to blame is this evil old society. Even if my nephew has a small mistake, it is normal for him to be a human being. It cannot be said that the Zhang family is a weak party, so they should be born with reason.

The toll continued, "I am thinking about the men of the mansion, so I must be concerned about it. However, I have to put my personal affairs aside, and I have to use my own efforts in secret. Since Zhang Bao is determined to accuse me and just wants to blackmail some money, this is a one-time meeting for a thousand people. Therefore, I instructed the young people to tell the young master that it would be better to spend some money and ask him to close the case in the court. Then I look for a small matter and warn the next Zhang family, so that he would not dare to get entangled. This is my intention, and I would like to ask my master to commit suicide. And we have also been there with Mr. Yin, and he has agreed to act according to my instructions, saying that he would talk to the Zhang family to the next night and promise him to close the case quickly."

Xu Kun pondered for a while. With his young master's temper, if Ru Jin had not died pitifully, he would not have surrendered even if he was beaten to death. After all, the third uncle was not his father.

After thinking about it, Xu Kun said angrily: "I accept your nobles' good intentions, but it's not easy to obey them. It's a pity that Zhang Bao dared to falsely accuse him and spent money to close the case privately. What if I, Xu Kun, was afraid of him? I was not afraid of him. I followed him to sue the emperor. In the final analysis, I have to figure out what is right and who is wrong, and the truth is revealed. Why can I frame me and threaten his daughter to commit suicide by just one side? Anyway, we are not killed by people. But in this way, we will let down your nobles' good intentions, and we may say that we are unlucky.

OK, please go back and greet the Lord, and ask him to leave the case for a few days. I can send someone here to talk to the Zhang family. Let me agree first. If the Zhang family is greedy and the lion speaks loudly, then I will ask you to be a fair trial. At worst, I will just go to the yamen."

After saying that, Xu Kun ordered the servant to take out ten taels of silver and give it to the consignee.

After the consignee took the money, he smiled and said, "What is the identity of the young master? Are you afraid that he will accuse him? But because his daughter died pitifully, I would like to give him a few words. How dare he not do it? How many heads do you want to touch the chicken eggs with a stone? The young master is willing to give it ten thousand hearts and leave this matter to the young people."

Xu Kun nodded and said, "You two are good. I will thank you again after you finish your business. As for your concern, I will make sense. You can go back and say hello to me, and I will remember it in my heart."

"Young Master really sees Wanli clearly. I am just thinking about friendship, and there is no other intention." The man said goodbye with a smile.

After the man left, Xu Yan sent out and said, "Since ancient times, money can be used to understand the gods, it is true. The Zhang family also knew that I was poor, but I borrowed me to make a fortune, so I had to let my brother report it again in the future. Even if Yin Chunfang spent tens of thousands of taels, I would not accept his affection."

Xu Kun smiled and said, "You are so embarrassed to say it. When we are finished, I will ask Shuntian Mansion to ask you to confront Zhang Bao. What should you do? Then, using the methods of the yamen, you will not be afraid that you will be poor and you will only squeeze out some oil."

"Look at you!" Xu Xiang sat down and smiled, "If Shuntian Mansion only mentioned me, I would just say that it was the case you bought with money. Let me ask, if you didn't really have any threats, how could you be willing to bribe? Is it possible for anyone to be unlucky!"

"Okay, okay." Xu Kun beat him up angrily, "From now on, I know your heart is too bad. I won't joke anymore, who will tell me to go to the Zhang family?"

"My family, Jiang Li, I am a nickname to reason, and I am accustomed to being eloquent, and I have never made any mistakes in big or small things." Xu Xu said with a smile.

"Okay." Xu Kun said: "That's what the Zhang family has arranged. Shuntian Mansion also has to give some favors. Although it is said that they have recognized friendship, since ancient times, the yamen has opened south. Don't come in without any money. No matter how close relatives and friends, there are no one who can pluck their hair without geese. What gift do you think is good to give?"

"It's not appropriate to give money." Xu Xu thought for a while, "I want me to give you a picture of Mr. Xu, which is priceless to him."

Xu Kun said, "That's it."

At the same time, Xu Run said to Huilan in her study: "My fiancée is very similar to you."

Huilan smiled and said, "Isn't this a waste of people? A daughter-in-law looks like me, and you still say it seriously. Hey, why do I feel that it's not right?"

"I'm afraid it may not be like you." Xu Run's expression became clear. "I'm satisfied if I really look like you. I'm willing to give her as a Bodhisattva and worship her every day."

"Come on." Huilan sneered: "I often hear you say that I have never seen you worship anyone."

Xu Run smiled and said, "Do you want me to worship? Come on, I'll worship you."

As he said that, he really wanted to bow. Huilan hurriedly walked away and chuckled, "Don't kill me, keep it for your cousin's wife."

Xu Run looked at her and sighed for a long time: "Now I realize that you really don't like men. According to me, you have made a lot of money. How good is it to be a family? There are few people who deserve you."

"You said this well." Huilan walked back and sat down, picked up the teacup, "I am confident that I can make money to support my family, be honest, and I don't believe anyone dares to suppress me? Monks and father-in-laws can marry a wife, so I can do it, but I don't want the good family. Besides, women like us are like husbands, and they don't look like you shameless things. Who would believe that we will be innocent in the future? I thought that instead of marrying a daughter of a small family, it would be better to marry a maid of a big family. At least, politeness and virtue are common, and they don't have the same kindness as a little model. It's the same. I don't want to marry a unclean one. The better ones are afraid that they will be used by the master."

"Not necessarily." Xu Run clapped his hands and smiled, "There are so many innocent girls in my Xu family."

Huilan said, "The maids of the Xu family are of course good, and the customs are also good, especially the second young master has the most maids, and they are all good. I remember that once we were singing an opera in Yisouyuan, and we saw a large group of girls in the curtain, including men's clothing, women's clothing, pink, white, dark green, handsome and cute. Unfortunately, who would marry a woman?"

Xu Run joked: "If I don't wait for me to get married, I'm sure a few maids will come with the dowry. If there are any good ones in it, I'll just give one to you."

"Not good." Huilan smiled and said, "Then I will serve you in your house for the rest of my life?"

"Just kidding."

Xu Run raised his eyes and saw Xu Erjie passing by outside the window, and said, "Actually, no matter whether you want it or not, are there too few mismatched marriages in this world? How many couples are just making do with each other. For example, if you drive for you, if you have such a good wife, is it considered a waste of talent?"

"Hehe!" Huilan, who understood a little, stared at him with a smile, "Did you love her?"

Xu Run smiled and said, "It's outrageous! I'm just talking."

Huifang smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you fall in love with her, but you are bound to love beauty. Not only does my second sister look good, but she is also a chaste woman."

Xu Run said disrespectfully: "There is spiritual wisdom, but chastity may not be necessary."

"Have you never heard her deal with Pan San?" Huilan asked.

"I heard of it." Xu Run still disagreed. "With Pan San's face, everyone will deal with him. You just said that you love beauty, everyone has it. I ask you if it was Xu Yu, would she bear to deal with it? Even if it was replaced by Huilan, would she bear it?"

Huilan laughed and said, "Why don't you try her yourself? The person is here, and I want to deal with you, but I don't dare."

"I've been talking nonsense." Xu Run laughed, "I really have no other ideas. I think I have had such a long time with you and Qin Yan, and I have had dirty thoughts?"

"That's right."

Huilan nodded. To her, Xu Run was also a strange man and a very decent man. He did not dislike beauties. This seemed to be very similar to Mr. Xu San and never showed mercy outside.

Suddenly, the follower came in and said, "The third master has something important to discuss, please let the young master go there."

"I understand." Xu Run hurriedly ordered the car to prepare, Huilan served him to change his clothes.

Huilan was idle and wanted to go in and tease her second sister. Then she thought to herself, let’s forget it, not to mention her own daughter, even if she is a man, she can’t hook up with a married woman.
