"The princess is currently preparing a petition."
Wei Bai, who had been pouring swill in the back kitchen for three consecutive days, was still well-informed. He asked a lot of questions while delivering food to the patrolling brothers. He originally wanted to talk to his master about this matter, but he remembered that he was told about it last time. , he didn’t dare to speak.
"Zhuzi?"
Zhou Jinyan paused while writing the letter and asked in confusion.
There were litigators in the Zhou Dynasty, and they were called lawyers among the common people. Some people had grievance cases and were illiterate, so they would spend money to hire lawyers.
Often the two parties involved in a case would hire lawyers, and the lawyers would argue with each other in the court, talking about their own justice, and there would often be many people watching.
So Zhou Jinyan was even more puzzled. As Princess Jing, what kind of lawyer did Jian Yu need to hire? Which official doesn't want Wu Sha Mao and will convict Princess Jing in the wrong case?
"The Princess and the Queen found five lawyers. After meeting and talking with each other, one lawyer was left behind. That lawyer has been arranged in the guest room. It is said that he wrote several lawsuits to the Princess and the Princess tonight."
Wei Bai didn't understand either. When he heard the news, he thought he had made a mistake, but it was true. He even saw the lawyer!
The sharp mouth and monkey cheeks look sinister and cunning!
"Master, has the princess been deceived?" Wei Bai asked worriedly.
Wei Bai did not dare to say it in front of his master, but in his heart he quite recognized that Miss Jian Er was the mistress, and that Miss Jian Er had already been on the royal jade certificate, and she was a serious Princess Jing!
You should respect yourself a little! Anyway, he thinks Miss Jian Er is very good and has a deep love for his master!
Zhou Jinyan snorted and said nothing. Who could deceive that little fox? I'm afraid it's not that I'm holding back some evil idea.
In the past few days, Zhou Jinyan went out during the day and seemed to be busy tidying up the shop. In fact, he was doing all his own business. He had a letter written by a traitor to the Jin slave. Although it was not signed, it relied on the handwriting and various details. , still found some clues.
The ink written on the letter to Jin Nu was mixed with gold powder, which glowed purple when viewed in the sun. Such high-quality ink can only come from Rongbaozhai in Jiangnan, and it is a special product.
The tribute ink used by the emperor was specially made by Rongbaozhai. In addition to tribute to the palace, a small batch of additional ink would be produced every month for circulation in the market.
High-ranking officials and dignitaries love this ink most, and it is extremely valuable to give it as a gift. This kind of ink is usually digested by officials within Jiangnan and rarely flows out of the country. That's why Zhou Jinyan suspected Taifu Jian.
After all, his legitimate son was serving as the prefect of Jiangnan.
During the days when he transformed into Rong Xiao and stayed in the Jian Mansion, Zhou Jinyan spent many nights exploring Taifu Jian's study. He saw that Taifu Jian's previous calligraphy did not use tribute ink, which weakened some suspicions.
In the past few days, Zhou Jinyan had been secretly investigating officials in Shengjing who liked to use Gongmo. As a result, the process was not smooth, and the clue of Gongmo was almost gone.
In addition to Gong Mo, Zhou Jinyan also sent people to sneak into the mansions he listed as suspects to see if they could find out anything. If progress was still slow, he would have to change his approach.
Zhou Jinyan, who was busy with these things, didn't pay attention to Jian Yu's movements in the past few days. It was indeed not quiet. Who would hire a lawyer if he didn't have a lawsuit?
So what role did Jian Yu play in the case? Suddenly, an idea flashed in Zhou Jinyan's mind, the gambling house prospered!
If Jian Yu needs to hire a lawyer recently, it might be the ownership of the shop. Will she go to court with the gambling house? ! This is something that many women in the back house avoid, but Jian Yu is actually very interested in it?
Picking five lawyers and then screening them one by one, leaving the one she thinks is the best is not very interesting. No one else would have the time to prepare for this.
Although he didn't see through the other person, Zhou Jinyan claimed to know him a little bit. Jian Yu was very courageous, which was in great contrast to her weak appearance!
"Tomorrow you can inquire carefully and find out what's going on."
Zhou Jinyan also became interested. He wanted to see what Jian Yu was going to do. He had to say that every step he made was beyond his expectation.
*
"Master, these are three more lawsuits written by Lawyer Song."
Hongmei carefully pulled the paper and separated it with her fingers to prevent the wet ink from rubbing and blurring.
At this moment, in front of Jian Yu's desk, half of the desk had been covered with square sheets of paper. She arranged the three sheets neatly again and placed them neatly. Jian Yu touched her chin with her fingers and nodded with great satisfaction.
Sure enough, what Lawyer Song wrote was exactly the feeling she wanted! The angle is tricky and the ideas are clear. The key is that the words and sentences are provocative enough! It can discuss principles at the top, and warm people's hearts at the bottom!
When she bought this shop, Jian Yu knew that she would confront the second prince, and all the current developments were within her plan.
Now there are rumors outside that Princess Jing is using her power to rob people's wealth and that she has ruined Prince Jing's reputation.
Jian Yu knew that this was all caused by the second prince. In a few days, when the time was right, the second prince would intensify the matter and blame her for something that happened in the gambling house.
At that time, everyone's focus will not be on the gambling shop not doing good things on weekdays, but on condemning Princess Jing as a bully. The people obviously prefer to watch the latter's excitement.
These were all within Jian Yu's expectations, and she was sure that the second prince would not show up. Sure enough, judging from the situation in the past few days, the other prince was indeed perfectly invisible.
Just like the second prince thought that Jian Yu would suffer the loss of being a mute just for the sake of face, Jian Yu also grasped this and wanted to send the loss of the mute back.
"That's it. Tell Lawyer Song to sort it out and come with me to the government office tomorrow."
Jian Yu is going to play drums tomorrow to complain!
Of course Zhou Jinyan couldn't understand Jian Yu's routine, which was a very useful marketing tool in China and often achieved twice the result with half the effort.
Jian Yu not only wants to completely regain the ownership of the shop, but also promotes her spice shop. The effect depends on this lawsuit!
Look, she's going to start hyping it up!
The topic brought to the door by the second prince is not in vain. After this lawsuit, everyone in Shengjing will know that Princess Jing is going to open a spice shop. When the day comes, they will join in the fun even if they don't buy it.
The main focus of her spice shop is high-profile! Jian Yu, who was going to make a big move next, didn't plan to do business secretly. If she wanted to make a fortune, she had to go big.
Business is not that easy. Jian Yu will never underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. Even if she has confidence in her spices, it is impossible to reach the desired scale step by step in a short time.
She has always been brave enough to find new ways to make money, and she can afford to lose.
"Hongmei, prepare Princess Jing's court clothes tomorrow. I want to wear that one."
The first time she appeared in front of the people of Shengjing, Jian Yu wanted to be stunning. No matter what, her image must be established, and she spoke for herself!
