Zhen Hou looked at everyone with a smile on his face: "You are all dressed in luxurious clothes, so you must not be ordinary people, right? But in this Yiqu City, no matter what your status is, no matter where you come from, if you want to take revenge in private, that is absolutely impossible. of."
The courtiers said nothing.
Of course they know it's not possible.
The laws of the Qin Dynasty were clearly written and private fights were strictly prohibited.
If at another time, I could instruct the servants at home to seize the saucer and give it a good beating.
But not now. Your Majesty is watching from the side. How can you do such illegal things in front of the emperor?
But... can your Majesty be able to swallow this breath?
Many people looked at Ying Zheng.
They thought that maybe His Majesty was going to kill the saucer in a fit of rage. No, not only the saucers must be killed, but the teahouse must be demolished.
When the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses.
Hu Hai's chest rose and fell with excitement. He secretly observed his father and thought: Kill people, kill people quickly. As long as his father ordered the killing, Fu Yao would be finished.
And Fusu was extremely nervous. He was afraid that Ying Zheng would kill someone. It would be fine if he only killed the saucer. After all, this guy was looking for death himself and actually deceived the emperor.
But according to my father's temper, I am afraid that innocent people will be implicated. At that time, I will have to give advice again.
It would be bad if his remonstrance made his father unhappy...
However, Ying Zheng didn't look angry. He just smiled and asked: "In your opinion, how should this matter be handled?"
Zhen Hou was full of energy and said: "As usual, you should report to the official. Now in Yiqu City, this kind of deception is severely cracked down on. Some people can get part of their money back after reporting to the official."
Ying Zheng smiled: "Reporting to the official position? Interesting, then let's report to the official position."
Ying Zheng is really not angry now.
Ever since the last incident involving Wang Jian's rebellion, Ying Zheng had become more open-minded.
Li Shui once advised him that day: The emperor is a figure sitting in the clouds and should look down on the people. If you compete with the common people, it will seem small. Contempt is the most severe punishment.
Now Ying Zheng is feeling more and more. He is now looking down at everything happening in Yiqu City.
He is the emperor, and he can make thousands of people die with just one mouthful.
But he didn't open his mouth. Instead, experience the litigation in Yiqu City with great interest.
Nothing else, I just find it interesting.
Ying Zheng sighed slightly deep in his heart: Ever since I listened to Huai Guzi's words, I now know that being an emperor can bring such joy.
Ying Zheng said to the courtiers behind him: "Then we will sue this saucer. What do you think?"
The courtiers nodded.
The emperor wants to complain? Although it is a bit strange, it is not unacceptable.
Nowadays, everyone is incognito, has been deceived, and chooses to report to the official, which is natural.
In addition, everyone also wanted to take this opportunity to see whether the officialdom of Yiqu City was clear or not.
Everyone has seen the people and customs of Yiqu City. I wonder if the officialdom is also a mess.
Seeing everyone's agreement, Ying Zheng turned around and went to the government office.
As a result, Zhen Hou stopped them and said with a dry smile: "Dear gentlemen, do you think you can win the lawsuit?"
Ying Zheng was slightly stunned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhen Hou said: "The government in Yiqu City is different from other places. In this place, no matter how noble your birth is or how rich your family is, it is all useless."
"The county magistrate responsible for hearing the case was personally promoted by Mr. Fu Yao. He is a stupid young man who does not recognize his relatives."
"A nobleman from another place once sued some vendors who set up stalls, but they lost."
"If you want to win your case, in addition to being reasonable, you must also be eloquent and familiar with the various laws and regulations in Yiqu City."
"Therefore, you have to hire a lawyer. Without a lawyer, you are in a bit of trouble."
Li Si asked curiously: "What is a litigator?"
Zhen Hou said: "Litigators are scholars who are familiar with the laws of the Qin Dynasty and can help you file a lawsuit. If you need it, I happen to know a few litigators. They are all top experts and can help you."
Li Si smiled slightly and said, "After the matter is completed, do you still have to give the litigant some gold and silver?"
Zhen Hou said: "This is natural. In addition, the villain is not a liar, and the villain does not tell secret stories. I also need to pay some of my introduction fees."
Li Si laughed loudly: "No need, there are quite a few of us who are familiar with the law, enough to act as litigators."
The courtiers all laughed.
Don't talk about others, just talk about Li Si. He participated in the revision of Da Qin's laws.
Still a lawyer? Is there any lawyer better than Li Si?
Zhen Hou was a little disappointed when he saw that the courtiers refused to hire a lawyer and walked towards the government office one after another.
He shouted from behind: "Everyone, if you don't have a lawyer, it will be difficult to get your money back. If you change your mind, you can come to me again. The villain's lawyers are all the best in Yiqu City. They are eloquent and the prices are fair."
Chunyu Yue stuffed a small bunch of half a tael of money into Zhen Hou's hand, and said with a smile: "Thank you very much. But the lawyer doesn't need it. These money are for reminding us."
After the courtiers left, Zhen Hou looked at the copper coins in his hand and sighed with emotion: It's great to deal with rich people.
…………
The courtiers walked towards the Yamen in an angry manner.
Li Shui and Li Xin followed at the end.
When passing by a roadside stall, Li Shui bought pastries and fruits.
Then Li Xin and Li Shui discussed with smiles while eating.
Li Xin said: "This Yiqu City is really interesting."
Li Shui said: "Well, it feels very pleasant to watch the excitement while eating."
The voices of the two people talking quickly attracted the attention of the courtiers in front.
"Watching the fun? Why are you watching the fun? Are you just watching our fun?" The courtiers turned around and glared at Li Shui and Li Xin.
Li Shui took out the death-free medal, hung it around his neck, and said with a dark face, "Do you still want to read it?"
The courtiers turned their heads back aggrievedly.
Not even able to take a look?
Is there any heavenly principle?
Is there any law?
Not long after, the courtiers had already arrived at the Yamen, and then called their names on the spot to sue the entire teahouse.
Ying Zheng and his party were dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a cloud of servants. Although the yamen in Yiqucheng are relatively fair, the yamen are run by people after all, so it is impossible not to panic.
Ying Zheng and the court officials were invited in and their seats were arranged. As for the servants and guards, some stayed outside and some stood nearby.
Soon, the county magistrate responsible for hearing the case came.
Jun Cheng is a little chubby and looks kind-hearted.
After he sat down, he looked at Ying Zheng and his party, sighed, and muttered: "Here we go again. Aren't you tired?"
The courtiers looked at each other: What do you mean? What does it mean to come again? Didn't we just enter the city?
I don't know why, but the court officials felt that this county magistrate was a bit fatuous.
Jun Cheng said to the government servant next to him: "Go and bring the owner of the teahouse."
The Yamen servant responded and left quickly.
While eating pastries, Li Xin said to Li Shui: "Brother Huai, I don't know why, but I always have a strange feeling. It seems... it seems... Oops, I can't tell."
Li Shui said: "I also have a feeling that both the county magistrate and the servants have a familiar feeling. Maybe this is professionalism."
Li Xin nodded in agreement.
At this time, there was a commotion at the door of the government office.
Everyone thought the teahouse owner had arrived, but when they turned around, they found that was not the case.
It was a government official who was shouting to the people: "The nobles from other places are suing the teahouse. The nobles from other places are suing the teahouse. People who want to watch the case being judged only need fifty cash each. Each person only needs fifty cash."
After a while, thirty or forty people came in after paying money.
courtier:"……"
Why does this scene have a familiar feeling?
Chunyu Yue looked at the people watching and remembered an unbearable past event.
He whispered to Li Shui: "Look what you have taught Mr. Fu Yao."
Li Shui dug his ears and said nothing.
Not long after, the owner of the teahouse arrived.
A half-grown old man, with a smile on his face, looking like he was making money in a friendly way.
The county magistrate said with a tired face: "These nobles are suing you for cheating and abduction. Is it true?"
The teahouse owner categorically denied: "No."
Jun Cheng sighed and said lazily: "Bring the saucer."
Li Xin whispered to Li Shui: "Brother Huai, why is the atmosphere so weird?"
Li Shui hummed and said while eating the fruit: "When I see Jun Cheng, I feel like I see a child copying new words."
The saucer was brought in.
He looked at the courtiers with a sad face: "Dear gentlemen, we were chatting and laughing just now, but I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, you would sue me."
Li Si stood up and said: "You are a liar, of course you will have a good time talking and laughing with us."
Sauter was unconvinced: "Why did I lie to you?"
Li Si said: "You tricked us into spending hundreds of thousands of dollars at the teahouse."
The saucer was even more aggrieved: "When I ordered tea, did I say that the tea here is very expensive and I want to take you to a place with good quality and low price?"
The courtier was slightly startled.
It seems...this sentence really exists.
The saucer said even more aggrievedly: "At that time, the little man persuaded you nobles to change places. But what did you say? You said, you are of noble status, how can you go to that kind of place? Only this teahouse is suitable for your status."
"By the way, that's what this noble man said. If I say anything else, I will look down on you and become angry with me."
The courtiers were speechless.
They have come to their senses now. I stayed here just to save face.
But...how to express this reason in public?
The saucer's eyes suddenly turned red: "You guys...do you look down on us people from Yiqu County, so you are here to find trouble?"
The people who were watching suddenly started talking.
Of course, it was just a discussion, not an outpouring of righteous indignation to knock anyone down.
Most people are just watching the excitement. Some people even took out snacks and chewed them in their mouths.
Li Shui curiously asked the people: "What are you eating?"
In fact, these people had already noticed Li Shui and Li Xin.
The other courtiers all looked angry, but these two looked very leisurely and happy. They had been eating, as if they were not here to complain, but to watch the fun.
The common people immediately grabbed a handful for Li Shui and said with a smile: "I would like to teach you, noble man, that this is called wheat flower."
Li Shui looked at it carefully and asked curiously: "Wheat flowers? Wheat flowers?"
The common people whispered: "This name was actually given by the banished immortal."
Li Xin looked at Li Shui in confusion, and Li Shui looked at the people in confusion.
This thing...the name I gave it? I do not know how?
Suddenly, Li Shui felt like he was happy to be a father.
The commoner said with pride: "In the past, I traveled to Beidi County and saw that Beidi County was processing iron ore from northern Xinjiang."
"The banished immortal saw an iron bucket on the ground, so on a whim, he threw a handful of wheat into the iron bucket."
"Then put the iron barrel on the fire, roasting and rotating it continuously. When it was opened again, the wheat inside exploded, like little flowers."
"The banished immortal ate one and found it very delicious, so he called it wheat flower."
"Since then, this wheat flower has become popular in our Beidi County."
Li Shui: "..."
Isn’t this a combination of popcorn and Qianlong’s snacks when he went to Jiangnan?
Li Xin was curious and grabbed a few wheat flowers from Li Shuai's hands, put them into his mouth and tasted them. His eyes suddenly lit up: "This thing is delicious."
He took out the cakes and said to the people, "Shall we change them?"
The people saw that what Li Xin was holding turned out to be barley cakes.
This is the aristocrat among pastries.
So the people happily exchanged with Li Xin.
Li Shui ate wheat flowers, although they tasted different from popcorn. They lacked sugar and cream and were not as appealing as later generations.
But...it tastes like that after all.
Li Shui and Li Xin were eating wheat flowers and watching Li Si's lawsuit. They suddenly thought: Such a life is good.
Over there, Li Si was refuted and rendered speechless. No matter how you look at it, it is voluntary for them to drink tea and buy cakes in the tea house.
More importantly, before drinking tea, the tea house has repeatedly stated it and informed the price in advance.
There is absolutely no forced buying or selling, and the prices are not transparent.
So Li Si found another way and began to question why a cup of tea could be sold for 10,000 yuan. Isn't this a rip-off?
After Li Si questioned this sentence, the owner of the teahouse suddenly became energetic, as if he had been waiting nearby for a long time.
He said to the outside in a loud voice: "I want you to know that this tea is not an ordinary thing. Drinking tea can improve your hearing and eyesight, regulate your stomach and intestines, and refresh your mind. This is not what I said. This is what more than a dozen doctors have experienced. Research, the results obtained together.”
While talking, the teahouse owner took out a few pieces of paper, which were filled with the doctor's testimony and also had his fingerprints printed on them.
It even has the official seal of Beidi County stamped on it, indicating that the government also recognizes this conclusion.
Li Si suddenly felt a little uneasy: Why was he so well prepared? When he said these words, he was neither facing us nor the county magistrate, but actually facing outside the gate. Who did he tell this to?
Li Si looked outside the gate. There were many people watching the excitement.
There are men and women, old and young, poor and rich...
I was a magician in the Qin Dynasty
