Xiao Feng has not left the yard for two days, which makes Tan Xinren, who is waiting for him to go out and Yan Shifan to take action, anxious.
He analyzed from various rumors that if Xiao Feng did not go out, it was unlikely that Yan Shifan would send someone to look for trouble. So if Xiao Feng doesn't go out, there should be nothing Yan Shifan can do.
Also anxious is Chun Yanlou's mother. Ever since the unlucky construction team leader Ma Ma became famous, business has become very bad.
On the one hand, because someone had just died, many "elegant people" felt a little uncomfortable and had to wait at least ten and a half months before coming to the door; on the other hand, the female head catcher with a slim waist and long legs felt that the death of the captain was not a good idea. At the wrong time, Shi Chang brought people to investigate the scene, which made many officials afraid to come for fear of being caught.
Her mother said a lot of nice things to An Qingyue and secretly gave her money, but An Qingyue refused to accept any of it because she stubbornly felt that this matter needed to be investigated.
Mom was speechless. Isn't it normal for a man to feel so comfortable in a brothel? It's rare for a girl to find out.
Why do women bother women? What's more, it still embarrasses so many women?
The girls were not as upset as their mother. Anyway, they had nothing to worry about and had a few days of leisure. They all took advantage of this rare vacation time to eat melon seeds, wave handkerchiefs, and chat with their sisters in twos and threes.
The most lively scene was of course in Miss Yun's room, where the sisters took turns to comfort Miss Yun's hurt heart. Although it is not uncommon to get windy in a brothel, when it comes to a certain girl, it is still a rare unlucky thing. It is probably as bad as falling into a manure pit while walking.
Even if you take three baths and wash them cleanly, people will feel stinky in a short period of time, and it will take at least a month to forget about it.
So the sisters comforted Miss Yun, don't take it to heart, that man is so comfortable, it means you are good at martial arts! There will only be more people looking for you in the future! Fear? What a joke, a man would dare to commit the crime of beheading in this matter, how can he still be afraid of such a small probability event?
Miss Yun's eyes were also red and swollen, and she thanked her sisters for their concern.
Mother sent a letter to Chen Hong, hoping that Chen Hong would come forward to suppress Shuntian Mansion and withdraw this unscrupulous female head catcher. Chen Hong wrote back to him and said that the fight between Xin Renzheng and Zhang Tianci has been in full swing these days, and there are many things involved behind it. No matter what Chunyan Tower said, it was Tan Xinren's capital. At this time, he should keep a low profile and don't cause trouble.
My mother had no choice but to open the door and swat the flies, pouting and sulking.
The business community in the capital is also anxious, looking forward to the outcome of this war of talks as soon as possible, so that everyone can reshuffle the cards, establish a new order as soon as possible, and continue to make money. Although Tan Xinren's remaining allies are not many, they are all large merchants with official backgrounds, while the small and medium merchants all support Zhang Tianci.
In this anxious mood, Shuntian Mansion finally announced the opening of the trial after intensive preparations.
To everyone's surprise, Shuntian Mansion issued a notice that the trial would be held in public, and everyone could watch from the outside of the lobby. This is rare. Generally, such public trials are mostly done by the county government. Even the prefects of ordinary prefectures rarely do this, let alone Shuntian Prefecture, which is the best in the world.
After hearing the news, people from all walks of life were very excited and gathered friends to watch. Those crowded in the first row were naturally the business people who paid the most attention to this matter. They were rich and well-connected, so they sent people to occupy the seats early. The older ones even asked people to bring chairs, benches and other equipment.
Zhao Wenhua was at Yan Shifan's house. After hearing the news, he frowned and said: "Guo Jun, this old fox, did exactly what Donglou expected. The trial was held in public. This shows that his attitude must be impartial."
Yan Shifan nodded: "No matter who wins or loses in this case, it will not be of any benefit to Guo Jun. The best result for him is to remain impartial. He tried the trial openly in order not to offend any party, and at the same time it was a tentative attitude. If either party is against If he has any objections to a public trial, then he is guilty. On the contrary, he knows better."
Zhao Wenhua said distressedly: "It's really strange. I also sent people to inquire. Zhang Tianci clearly borrowed a lot of money to buy glutinous rice, but he did have no inventory in the various grain depots in the capital. I also checked it on the water transport ship. So much glutinous rice, where did he hide it?"
Yan Shifan shook his head: "It's hard to make a fuss about Nuomi now. The best way is to draw fire from the bottom. As long as Xiao Feng can't come up with documents and everyone denies that there is a compensation clause, Xinren will be defeated in this matter. , Xiao Feng was defeated without defeat.
Tan Xinren would at most give up on building a WTO view; but Xiao Feng would spend no less than thirty thousand taels of silver in order to control the glutinous rice market. Not making this money is nothing to Tan Xinren, but losing this money is a disaster for Xiao Feng and Zhang Tianci. "
Zhao Wenhua nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, it all depends on Donglou's methods. I might have to go out to testify, so I'll leave first."
Watching Zhao Wenhua leave the house, Yan Shifan shook his head in disdain: "It's embarrassing to end up personally and jump up and down for a businessman."
Guo Jun sat in the lobby himself. He had prepared several chairs, because regardless of whether there were important people watching, even the two people who were bound to go to the lobby could not let anyone stand.
Sure enough, after the hall opened, Zhang Tianci and Tan Xinren stood in the hall first. Neither of them has any fame, but they both have the status of imperial merchants. Although the Ming Dynasty looked down upon merchants, it still treated the imperial merchants who served the court with some dignity and allowed them to go to court without kneeling.
Then Xiao Feng and Zhao Wenhua walked into the hall at the same time. They looked at each other and even smiled at each other.
This is the dignity of scholar-bureaucrats. Common people are fighting and filing lawsuits, blushing, rolling up their arms and sleeves, eager to grab each other and punch each other.
But even if the scholar-bureaucrats were going to accuse each other of treason and destroy the nine tribes at the next moment, they were still polite and greeted each other when they met one moment ago. Of course, the greetings in my heart may be more powerful.
Guo Jun also stood up and bowed his hands to the two of them: "Please sit down, sir. If you need to speak later, please sit down." He said to sit down, but looked at the two of them vaguely, saying no. Assign seats to two people.
Because this matter is difficult to handle, he is the presiding judge and sits behind the big case in the middle. The two chairs are on the left and right sides. In the Ming Dynasty, Zuo was respected. Zhao Wenhua was the minister of the Ministry of Industry and was a third-rank official. Xiao Feng's Zhongshushe was only a seventh-rank official, and he could not catch up with him. But Xiao Feng's real person identity has no fixed grade. The lowest is fourth grade and the highest is second grade. This is very strange.
Zhao Wenhua knew that he couldn't lose in terms of momentum at this time, so he quickly ran to the left and took a seat. Xiao Feng pretended to go and grab it. Zhao Wenhua became anxious and accelerated immediately, but felt a soreness in the knee of his left leg. He ran too fast and rolled and crawled on the chair.
Xiao Feng smiled slightly, walked slowly to the chair on the right, and sat down gracefully. Comparing the two, Zhao Wenhua suddenly looked particularly embarrassed.
The spectators in the underground room inevitably started talking: "Why is this Mr. Zhao acting like a chicken in a hurry? He is so ungraceful."
"What if I go to court and fall in front of Long Live?"
"That's right, look at Mr. Xiao. He is a calm and unrestrained man. He is worthy of being a true gentleman."
There were many people who were good at kung fu among the onlookers, and they could tell that Zhao Wenhua must have suffered a hidden loss. Those with high kung fu can also see that it was the pebbles that Xiao Feng shot out of his hand, but who would be troublesome at this time?
Xiao Feng was happy in his heart. On the one hand, Zhao Wenhua had made a fool of himself, and it would be difficult for him to be calm when facing the court. On the other hand, he had been practicing his internal skills for many days. Although he was still far behind the masters, he could not deal with those who did not understand martial arts. Zhao Wenhua was very effective.
Unknowingly, I felt like I was punching Nanshan Nursing Home and kicking Beihai Kindergarten.
Guo Jun didn't dare to laugh when he saw Zhao Wenhua making a fool of himself in public. He just coughed and slapped the crowd majestically: "Open the court!"
