In Shengjing City, the east of the central axis is Xingping County, and the west of the central axis is Shun'an County.

Xishi is under the jurisdiction of Shun'an County. If the people have disputes, they can go to the Shun'an County Government to discuss it.

The crowd flocked to the county government office.

On the way, in order to prevent Rong Xi from escaping, the treasurer of the gold shop ordered the strong shop servants to surround him until he reached the county government gate.

When the magistrate of Shun'an received the appeal, his face immediately grew long.

You must know that it is not easy to be the magistrate of Shengjing City, if you are not careful, you will offend the nobles.

He asked the staff beside him: "Who is the sufferer? What is the complaint?"

The official had already inquired clearly, and replied: "The sufferer is the shopkeeper of Ming Jinpu, the mayor of Xixi, and he sued because he broke his gold hairpin in a young age."

"Changming Gold Shop?" The magistrate froze in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be Rong, Rong..."

"It is indeed the gold shop of Rong's mansion, and Rong Silang is also the master of suffering." The official sighed.

The county magistrate stood up abruptly, "Since the thief damaged the gold hairpin, he should be compensated!"

After saying that, the upright spirit reached the court.

There were three people standing in the hall, he glanced sharply at him, his aura was intimidating, and one of them immediately knelt down.

The person kneeling on the ground is the treasurer of the gold shop.

The county magistrate looked at the two teenagers, one of them was dressed in rich clothes, his face was immature, and he was only thirteen years old, so he must be Rong Shiro.

As for the other person, dressed in coarse linen, although he has a handsome face and an extraordinary bearing, he is definitely not as good as Rong Shiro in terms of backing.

He thought about it, slapped the gavel hard, and asked, "Why doesn't the young man kneel down?"

There were two teenagers in the hall, but he only looked at Rong Xi.

The corners of Rong Xi's lips curled up, and he asked Rong Han: "Mingfu asks you, why don't you kneel?"

Rong Silang is only white, and he must kneel in court according to the law, but his father is Rong Shangshu, and the county magistrate did not dare to reprimand him.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the county magistrate was ordering Rong Xi.

The people gathered outside the yamen, talking about it.

Rong Han proudly asked back: "If you don't kneel, why should I kneel?"

He has always been favored by his parents, ignorant of worldly affairs, relying on his status, and seeing Rong Xixia and others not kneeling, of course he disdains kneeling to salute.

The county magistrate was furious, slapped the gavel again, and scolded: "You will be punished severely for ignoring the law, and you still don't kneel down!"

If Rong Xi is really an ordinary person, he must be so frightened that he immediately kneels down.

Unexpectedly, Rong Xi smiled gently and said: "What the Ming government said is absolutely true. Rong Silang ignored the law and should be severely punished."

Everyone: "..."

This boy is really bold!

The county magistrate was about to kill him, when he saw Rong Xi taking out a silk brocade from his sleeve, which looked like...

"Please take a look at the Ming Palace."

The assistant official hesitated for a while, took the scroll and presented it to the county magistrate's case.

The county magistrate opened his eyes, stared straight at once, his lips trembled and could not speak, his palms seemed to be burned, and he let go of them instantly, not daring to touch them again.

The assistant official beside him also saw the books and silks clearly, his heart was beating like a drum, his blood was surging, and he almost couldn't stand up.

"This, this..." The county magistrate suppressed his fear and looked at Rong Xi.

Rong Xi interrupted him, "Dare to ask the Ming government, can you continue to hear the lawsuit?"

"Don't dare, dare not..." The county magistrate blurted out, seeing the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, Fang regained his composure and said, "Rong, Rong..."

Rong Xi quickly stopped his words, and said with a smile: "Rong Silang really despised the law, could it be that this court killing stick is just a display?"

Rong Shaoqing is embarrassing others!

The county magistrate was full of bitterness, but he didn't dare to offend Rong Weijing, so he wanted to expose the matter.

Unexpectedly, some people outside the yamen shouted loudly: "The son of Shangshu has no fame, why doesn't he kneel? If the yamen handles cases like this, how can there be justice?"

As soon as this remark came out, the crowd was furious, and the surrounding people made a noise.

The county magistrate's forehead was dripping with sweat, seeing Rong Xi standing leisurely, but seeing Rong Silang, because of the people's constant clamor, he felt extremely uneasy, and his expression showed a little panic.

He was young, and he was used to being sought after by others, and he never knew how embarrassing it is that "one voice can make money".

"Could it be that the Ming government wants to know the law and break the law?" Rong Xi asked with a smile again.

The magistrate's heart suddenly jumped.

He is stupid!These two are both the sons of Shang Shu, and Rong Shaoqing is the eldest son, and his official position is higher than his own, Rong Han is only the second son, and he is still white, so it is not difficult to choose!

The gavel suddenly rang, and the county magistrate had an upright and serious face, and said forcefully: "Rong Silang, you still don't kneel down!"

Rong Han's heart trembled, and he was about to bend his knees, but when he saw Rong Xi smiling triumphantly, he suddenly became furious, and blurted out: "He's a thief! Why doesn't he kneel?"

He didn't know what kind of books and silks Rong Xi took.

The county magistrate found it incredible.Since Rong Shaoqing is the eldest brother of Rong Silang, why does Rong Silang seem to not know him?

Thinking hard.

He couldn't help looking at Rong Xi, and saw the young man was tall and tall, like a pine and cypress. He subconsciously didn't remind Rong Han, but pointed to Zaoli instead.

Zaoli left and right in the courtroom shouted in unison, and the sound of the killing power stick hitting the ground made people frightened.

Rong Han's legs trembled, and he knelt straight down.

The trial begins.

The county magistrate asked: "The sufferer in the hall, report your name."

The shopkeeper of the gold shop is well-informed and knows that Rong Xi is not easy to mess with, but this is the case, he has to say, and he has Shang Shu as his backer, this little thief is born in front of him, and his power is definitely not as powerful as Shang Shu!

"Back to the Ming Mansion, the villain is the shopkeeper of Changming Gold Shop, Wang Dashan."

The clerk takes shorthand.

The county magistrate turned to Rong Han and asked again.

Rong Han raised his head and said, "I am Rong Han, son of the Rong family." His face was full of pride.

The county magistrate didn't dare to ask Rong Xi, so he continued to ask the two of them: "Why did you two sue Rong Shaoqing?"

The two mistakenly thought that "Rong Shaoqing" was the name of Rong Xi. Although they didn't know why the county magistrate knew the thief's name, it was related to the profit of the gold shop and the prestige of the Rong family, so they didn't think too much about it.

The shopkeeper complained: "Report to the Ming Dynasty, this thief entered the gold shop today and damaged a gold hairpin in the shop. This hairpin is very expensive. He is a rascal who hides compensation, and the villain can't, so I ask the Ming Dynasty to judge."

The scribes worked hard to write.

The county magistrate asked Rong Han, "Are there any mistakes or omissions in what Wang Dashan said?"

Rong Han thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Everything he said is true."

"Is there any excuse for Rong Shaoqing?"

Rong Xi replied calmly: "It is true that the gold hairpin was broken by me, it is just a matter of compensation, forgive me for not agreeing."

"Destroying people's property, compensation is a matter of course, you little thief, don't make excuses!" Wang Dashan shouted angrily.

Rong Xi suddenly smiled and asked: "Wang Dashan, are you really going to sue me?"

He asked a strange question, Wang Dashan's heart trembled, but thinking that Rong Weijing is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he suppressed his hidden worry, and said with a straight neck: "Exactly!"

Rong Xi asked again: "Rong Silang, are you also suing me for destroying the golden hairpin?"

Rong Han didn't understand, so he nodded sincerely: "You have done immoral things, so of course I will sue you!"

Everyone: "..." Could it be that this young man suffers from brain disease?

The county magistrate secretly sighed, Rong Shaoqing's move is really brilliant!

Rong Xi looked at the scribe and smiled slightly, "Is the record correct?"

The scribe was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"Since that's the case, may I ask the Ming government whether there is a rule in the Wei Dynasty that if a woman's dowry is related to land, shop, etc., it must be filed with the government?"

This law is for the convenience of children's inheritance.

The county magistrate sighed softly, seeing that Rong Silang and Wang Dashan were still unknown, he sincerely admired Rong Xi's scheme.

"That's true."

Rong Xi smiled lightly, "Can I ask Ming Fu to check it for me?"

The county magistrate signaled to the assistant official, who immediately left the hall to search for the record.

While waiting, the people outside the yamen were discussing a lot, and someone with good intentions sent news to the Rong's mansion. The first time the Rong Zhou family heard that Rong Han had entered the court, they almost fainted.

"How about Shiro?"

The servant replied, "It's still in court."

"Quickly report to the Lord!"

The servants were ordered to leave, and Mrs. Zhou summoned another servant to follow them to Shun'an County Yamen.

At the same time, in the courtroom, the assistant officials brought them for filing and placed them on the public case. The county magistrate stared at it for a while and sighed, "I wonder what Rong Shaoqing's request is?"

Rong Xi said gently: "I don't have any appeals. I was just sent here by two suffering masters. I only ask the Ming Palace to judge fairly."

He is gentle, gentle, dignified, and not aggressive, which makes people feel good.

But as far as the county magistrate is concerned, the young man is a shrewd hunter, and he is good at laying traps to trap people with different intentions, so that people can't tell the slightest mistake.

He pondered for a while, then decisively slapped the gavel.

"Wang Dashan sued the master as a servant, with a staff of forty."

When the words came out, everyone was shocked.

Wang Dashan was stunned, and when he was pressed down by Zaoli, Fang exclaimed: "Mingfu is merciful! What does it mean to sue the master with a servant?"

The person he sued was the little thief, why did the master say it?

A killing stick fell, and because of the pain, his mind suddenly became clear, and he raised his head to look at Rong Xi with difficulty.

His surname is Rong!Could it be Mr. Da Lang?

Rong Han was still at a loss, seeing Wang Dashan being punished with a stick, he sobbed and shed tears in horror.

"Rong Shaoqing, as for..." The county magistrate took a hard look at Rong Han.

Rong Xi didn't force others to make things difficult, and said with a smile: "This is a family matter, the Ming government doesn't need to worry about it. However, my property is now being taken over by others, please ask the Ming government to help me."

In the official records, Zhang's shop is clearly listed, and there is no transfer or easy sale, so it is enough to prove that Zhang's shop is owned by Rong Xi.

Except for Rong Xi himself, no one has the right to tamper with it.

"Rong Shaoqing wait a moment, the next official will immediately send someone to seal up the shop and check the accounts." The county magistrate said firmly.

After finishing speaking, he called all Zaoli to go to Zhang's shops.

After Wang Dashan was tortured, he lay on the ground dying.Rong Han's face turned pale with fright, and he was out of his wits.

With trembling hands, the county magistrate respectfully returned the imperial decree to Rong Xi.

It's worth it to be able to touch the imperial decree with your own hands!

Without even looking at Rong Han, Rong Xi stepped out of the office calmly.

Just when Rong Zhou arrived, Rong Xi turned a blind eye and never slowed down.

"Da Lang!" Mrs. Zhou called out to him.

The crowd watched.

Rong Xi turned around with a smile on his face.

Mrs. Zhou squeezed her handkerchief and said in a trembling voice: "You were young and didn't understand common affairs. If the shop was left unattended, wouldn't it be a disappointment to your mother's hard work?"

"You have misunderstood me. I accidentally broke the gold hairpin in the store. Wang Dashan and his fourth brother are at odds with each other, so they insist on dragging me to see the official."

He suddenly shook his head and smiled wryly: "When I first came back to Beijing, I wanted to go to the gold shop to pick out precious gold hairpins as a reward for your ten years of hard work in managing the shop. I didn't expect such a miracle to be spread out, which made the neighbors laugh."

The crowd around the audience echoed.

Rong Zhou's eyes turned black.

She heard the servant mention the shop, and mistakenly thought that Rong Xi was going back to Beijing to fight for property, so she and Han'er went to court, so she just asked this question.

She was wrong!

Rong Xi still smiled leisurely and said: "Fortunately, the Ming government judged the case fairly, found out the dowry record of my concubine, and determined that the shop is mine. If not, I don't know how to get out."

"Indeed!"

The common people saw it very clearly, and it is estimated that after today, the matter of Rong's family servant suing the master's family and Rong's Shiro suing his brother will become the topic of conversation after dinner.

"Wang Dashan was tortured with forty sticks, half dead."

A voice came to Rong Zhou's ears, she felt a chill in her heart, hurriedly put on her clothes and went into the yamen to look for Rong Han.

Rong Xi strolled back to the county palace.

As soon as he entered the gate of the mansion, he saw Qin Ke welcoming him, and he couldn't help laughing loudly: "Is the arrangement properly?"

Qin Ke raised his lips and nodded, "I won't disappoint you."

The two went into the study hand in hand, Qin Ke poured tea for Rong Xi, and Rong Xi drank a few cups, feeling dripping with joy.

After thinking about it carefully, he sighed softly: "It's a bit of a pity."

Great Wei valued filial piety, so even if Rong Zhou made a mistake first, Rong Xi could not sue her.

"It's okay, she will suffer the consequences." Qin Ke comforted her softly.

The next day, the news about Rong's mansion spread throughout the streets and alleys.

One day, the evil servant of Rong's mansion sued the Lord and was punished with forty sticks, and now he ends up miserable.

The second is that Shiro Rong sued his elder brother, and was frightened and lost his soul in the court.

The third is that Mr. Rong Zhou has a vicious heart, occupied his stepson's property for many years, secretly colluded with evil doctors, made his stepson eat too much tonic, ruined his appearance, and secretly slandered his stepson's reputation many times.

On the fourth day of the Empress Dowager's birthday, Rong Shangshu met Rong Dalang in Qifeng Hall, but he didn't know that Dalang was his son!

The rumors spread more and more fiercely, and the reputation of the Rong Mansion was ruined.

When Rong Weijing found out about this, he wanted to punish Rong Han, but when he saw that he was in a state of despair, he worried about seeking medical treatment, and he didn't get better after a busy night.

He is not yet aware of the gossip in the market.

The next day at the public office, colleagues all ridiculed secretly, and someone close to him kindly told the reason, and Rong Weijing was so angry that he almost wanted to go to heaven.

"It's just nonsense!" He yelled.

Why did you embezzle your son's property privately?

Enduring a day of torment, after leaving the office, he hurried home and questioned Rong Zhou's shop.

Rong Zhou was already worried about Rong Han's illness, and the government was checking the shop's account books. She was so guilty that she was questioned by Rong Weijing and collapsed.

"Han'er's life and death are unknown now, but you question me about it?"

This matter is related to the clean name of Rong Mansion, why doesn't Rong Weijing care?

He asked angrily again: "Are you stealing Dalang's property?"

Rong Weijing never introspects himself, and all mistakes are made by others.

Rong Zhou suddenly sneered, "Am I taking it for myself? If it wasn't for my hard work these years, how would you manage to get promoted? Rong Weijing, how selfish you are!"

Snapped!

The room was suddenly silent.

Rong Zhou's face was slapped by Rong Weijing, his head was turned to one side, and his cheeks were extremely red and swollen.

After a few breaths, she smiled sadly, raised her eyes and asked in a low voice: "Rong Weijing, I am not the only one who spends money at home, why do you think you are innocent?"

Rong Weijing has always had a good face, so naturally he couldn't hear these harsh words.

He said angrily: "How dare you contradict me!"

After finishing speaking, he called his servants and said decisively, "Send Madam back to the Zhou Mansion."

Now that the rumors are flying around, he must show his attitude.

"I'm not going back! I'm not going back!" Rong Zhou roared sharply.

How embarrassing is it for a married daughter to be sent back to her mother's house by her husband's family?Rong Zhou resisted fiercely.

Rong Weijing was shocked.

He had never seen her in such a shrew shape. The gentle and virtuous wife in his memory seemed to be drifting away.

The servant obeyed the order of the master and dragged Mrs. Zhou out of the Rong mansion.

Rong Zhou's deportation from her natal family once again caused an uproar.

Everyone said that Rong Shangshu's move must be because Rong Zhou was indeed at fault.

The dirty water will be borne by Rong Zhou.

County Palace.

Rong Xi frowned, and said to Qin Ke: "I have looked at the account books of various shops, and there are many fake accounts. If the evidence is solid, can he be convicted of theft?"

Although he is usually gentle and gentle, he will never be soft when dealing with wicked people.

Da Wei's crime of theft was severely punished. If the Rong Zhou family really stole money, the rest of their lives would be in turmoil.

Qin Ke stroked his bun and smiled back: "The government will definitely decide the case fairly."

Rong Xi couldn't stand such gentleness, he couldn't help but put his arms around his waist, leaning on Qin Ke's broad shoulders, and smiled sincerely.

"thank God I've you."
