Chapter 12 Format Doesn't Matter

"Uncle asked me to accompany you to find my cousin from the Tao family. How did you come to the county government, cousin?"

Shu Jinxuan looked puzzled: Could it be that she still wants to break ties with Ye Chengwei?

"Cousin thinks who is better, elder brother Tao or Gu Langxi?"

Hua Rujin's thin lips were lightly parted, and she answered slowly, but her eyes were fixed on the gate of the county government office not far away.

Shu Jinxuan followed the past with his eyes: "These two are among the four famous people in our Jiangling City. I'm afraid they will be indistinguishable in court."

"Not bad."

Hua Rujin smiled and said: "I remember that these four young masters all claim to have never lost a lawsuit. How dare they fight each other for me, making each of them unable to step down, not to mention ruining their reputation for a lifetime, let alone the Dou family taking the lead. Mr. Tao will not choose to make a move if he is not fully sure."

Gu Langxi's appearance in the small courtyard of Hua's family today is undoubtedly to announce to everyone that he has secured the Dou's family.

When a litigator of his level makes a move, people in the industry will naturally be afraid to give a little bit of light to the three-pointer.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Shu Jinxuan frowned and asked in confusion.

Thinking back to the debate at the Hua family, although there were doubts everywhere, but no strong evidence could be found, which shows that the Dou family was deliberate.

"Right now, our two families are sticking to their own opinions. The Dou family dare not come directly to ask for someone, but I can't get out of the Dou family smoothly."

Hua Rujin said in her heart: I can't just waste it like this.

If the stalemate continues, the one who suffers will be himself.

After all, how much can a woman's youth last.

"The most important thing now is to see how our new magistrate makes a decision."

Hua Rujin withdrew her gaze, and smiled faintly at Shu Jinxuan:

She had to help Ye Chengwei make a decision, and she couldn't let him avenge himself for this matter.

"Mr. Ye, I have dealt with him several times in Beijing in the past two years. It is not difficult for you to meet him."

Suspicion appeared on Shu Jinxuan's face: "But as you said, it is impossible to prove that Dou Yuanqian's death was caused by another reason, or that the suicide note was forged. Even if Young Master Ye is upright, he will hardly be biased towards you."

"It's really hard to convince people to make a fuss about the suicide note and Dou Yuanqian's death based on a few words of suspicion, and these are cases that have already been judged by the former magistrate. It is a taboo in the officialdom to overturn the old case without any basis. Naturally, he will not do it for me. To put all your eggs in one basket and challenge authority."

At this point, Hua Rujin suddenly changed the subject: "However, if it affects his political performance and career, do you think he can sit idly by?"

"But now that he's a new official, we don't have anything to handle him."

Shu Jinxuan thought hard, and suddenly said with a quick mind: "Yes, I have saved some money for picking up medicinal materials for your eldest cousin in the past two years. When he comes to the county government later, I will try to bribe him, and you can take the opportunity to arrest him." This is the current situation, so he will naturally be at your mercy, tsk tsk tsk."

"Cousin, this method is really brilliant."

Seeing his arrogant expression, Hua Rujin rolled her eyes coldly.

He wasn't afraid of being murdered.

What's more, everyone doesn't know much about Ye Chengwei right now, if stealing the chicken doesn't pay off, then the aunt's life will really have to be accounted for in the opening game.

Looking at the gradually bustling county government in the distance, Hua Rujin suddenly had an idea in her heart.

She looked at the store owner who was focused on making noodles, and asked quickly, "Shop owner, is there any paper and pen in the store?"

"some."

Seeing that it was a pretty woman, the shopkeeper answered loudly, and rushed into the shop while wiping his hands, fetched a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and politely brought them to the two of them.

Because it is close to the county government, most of the shops here, even those who can't read the big characters, have prepared the Four Treasures of the Study for diners to use in an emergency.

Hua Rujin thanked her, then spread out the paper, pressed the inkstone on the corner of the paper, and pondered deeply while studying the ink.

Seeing that something was wrong, Shu Jinxuan quickly asked, "Cousin, don't you want to write the complaint yourself?"

"Exactly."

Hua Rujin nodded.

Shu Jinxuan was surprised: "When did you learn how to write complaints?"

"No."

Hua Rujin looked up at him with a wry smile.

"I heard that the yamen is very particular about writing complaints, and the format alone is very cumbersome."

"Hey, the format is not important, as long as you can understand it."

Hua Rujin interrupted him.

Newcomer, unfamiliar with the place of life, it is difficult to get everything done in a hurry.

However, with the words from Lu Xiuyuan, the history of the classics, and the thigh of the original owner's cousin, it should not be difficult to meet Ye Chengwei directly.

So the focus of this complaint is not the tedious details, but the sharp content, which must impress Ye Chengwei quickly.

After all, you can't always pull this cousin to be the god of the road.

But this damn classical Chinese is her sore point after all. If she doesn't talk about it if she suffers from long speeches, and there is no fixed format and nondescript, maybe people won't want to read it carefully.

She recalled some classic cases she had seen in her life, and then she came up with an idea, and immediately wrote a short complaint.

Before Shu Jinxuan could recover, she saw that her cousin had put away the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and handed it back to the shopkeeper: "Is it finished?"

He looked suspicious.

"Ah."

Hua Rujin responded lightly, raised her eyes inadvertently, and saw a brand new orange-red carriage parked at the gate of the county government office.

Then, a straight figure got off the carriage and went straight into the county government office.

"Is that the new magistrate?"

Looking at the figure that had disappeared from sight, Hua Rujin asked hesitantly.

Shu Jinxuan looked back, only to see the coachman who was tidying up the carriage, and nodded hesitantly: "The young gentleman is Ye Chengwei's book boy Ting'an. Since he has arrived at the county government office, Mr. Ye must have come too."

After finishing speaking, looking at the food served by the store, he hurriedly urged: "Let's finish eating quickly, before the county government can hurry up and go to see the county magistrate."

"it is good."

Hua Rujin swiftly put away the complaint and hid it in her bosom, and began to gobble up the delicious food in front of her.

"Cough, cousin, please slow down."

Shu Jinxuan didn't dislike her eating like a vicious dog, but she felt distressed when she thought of being embarrassed by her grandmother and second uncle's family.

"Ah."

Hua Rujin pursed her lips carelessly.

In the previous life, the nine-nine-six working system was the norm. Even if I opened my own law firm, I often worked overtime when encountering urgent cases. Eating is simply fatal to her.

After a few bites, Hua Rujin took out the silver from her bosom and yelled at the store: "Shop, buy."

The word "pay the bill" didn't come out, and he hurriedly changed his words: "Check out."

Looking at the large ingot of five taels of silver in her hand, the shopkeeper looked embarrassed: "Miss, it's a total of fifteen liang of silver."

It's only opened so early in the morning, and it's embarrassing for the little lady to order such a large ingot of silver.

"Let me do it."

Shu Jinxuan quickly took out a small ingot of broken silver from the purse and handed it to the shopkeeper: "You don't need to look for it."

Then, she smiled warmly at her: "When did you become so alien to your cousin?"

While speaking, she felt uncomfortable in her heart: she was becoming more and more separated from herself now.

Hua Rujin saw the embarrassment on his face, and thinking of the friendship between the two since childhood, she gradually realized that she had changed too much.

While putting away the money, he led him to the county yamen: "Not really, it's just that cousin Lao has been tossing with me for a long time, so I should reward you."

Hearing this, Shu Jinxuan's heart warmed up a lot, and the smile resumed on his face: "It is the greatest reward for me that you can come out of Dou's house safely this time."

Speaking of Dou's family, the gloomy and gloomy mansion gradually appeared in Hua Rujin's mind, as if a ghost was holding her tightly, and was pulling her to the bottom of the valley.

It made her scalp tingle.

But Shu Jinxuan had already arrived in front of the Yamen, and asked the guards to come in and report.
