Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

The accomplice died, and Master Sun Er not only did not suspect Linlang, he did not even suspect the first wife, because he did not think that the first wife would be able to find out that he had hired someone to harm them. After all, if she knew, she would have come to their house and scolded them by now. If she didn't scold them, it must mean that she didn't find out.

So Master Sun Er just thought that this person really had an accident, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for it, thinking that he spent so much money but didn't get any return, wasn't it a pity?

Although it's a pity, I can only continue to bribe others.

It's a pity that the eldest wife hasn't bought the servants yet. If she sends servants to buy land in the future, it won't even be necessary for the eldest wife to send servants to buy land. Even if the servants buy land for themselves, they can instigate the other party to seize the land of others, which will bring trouble to the eldest wife in the future.

Although the first wife's family has not bought servants yet, it is impossible to bribe those servants to seize people's land. The first wife's family will definitely not abduct people's women, but they can still be asked to help people settle lawsuits.

As long as those who need to settle lawsuits are allowed to deceive them, the people in the first house will have an overflowing sense of justice and may help someone. They think they are doing good things, but if they interfere with the judiciary and are exposed in the future, they will definitely be dealt with.

However, the people in the eldest house bought a house with a yard, but with only nearly 1,000 taels of silver, they could not buy a good location or a very large place in the capital. As a result, their neighbors, although their conditions were much better than those of the people who lived there before, were able to live so close to the imperial palace - in fact, it was six or seven miles away, but for the ancients with underdeveloped means of transportation, six or seven miles was very close, and any place that could be walked in less than half an hour was very close to them - whether renting or buying, it was not affordable for ordinary people.

But because only one thousand and two taels of silver were spent, there were no rich people living nearby. Only middle and low-level officials, wealthy men, and merchants lived there.

Low-level officials like Erfang either rented or bought houses in this area.

This was also the reason why the eldest son bought a house nearby, so that he could walk less when announcing the good news to Old Master Sun and Old Madam Sun.

Without mentioning the second house, they only said that they heard that their daughter was a concubine in the palace, and was said to be quite favored, and was promoted repeatedly - this was known to all the neighbors. After all, every time someone came from the palace to deliver a promotion gift, everyone could see it, which meant that the Sun family did not lie - so someone came to the door that day and said that their family had been bullied, and had been reported to the government office and arrested. They heard that their daughter was a favored concubine in the palace, and asked if they could go to the government office to say a few good words for them. As long as they could help their family, they would be rewarded handsomely.

This time, Master Sun Da was really fooled just as Master Sun Er had expected, because the people in the first house had a strong sense of justice, and when they saw someone coming to them for help, they naturally wanted to help.

Besides, he knew this person and he was not a stranger.

Although they had never dealt with each other before, at least they knew each other. I thought that I couldn't just stand by and watch them being bullied, so I wanted to help them. I even said that we were all acquaintances and there was no need for a high reward, it was just a small favor.

The man was naturally grateful profusely.

——This man is really not a kind person. Master Sun is willing to help him without asking for money, which shows that Master Sun is a very good person. Faced with such a good person, they still have the nerve to take Master Sun's money and cheat him.

But it is also true. The family that Master Sun Er wants to find Master Sun Da to take charge of the lawsuit must be a family that has done bad things. After all, if someone does good things and is wrongly imprisoned, Master Sun Da goes to help, that is not called taking charge of the lawsuit, that is called upholding justice. Master Sun Er will let Master Sun Da do such good things to gain a good reputation? Impossible! Naturally, he will find the kind of person who has done bad things and it is right for the government to arrest them, and let the other party ask Master Sun Da for help. In that case, if Master Sun Da really helps, it is not helping people to uphold justice, but helping the tyrant. Since it is not a good family, it makes sense that the family of the person who was arrested, that is, the person who asked Master Sun Da for help, would not have good character. Although it is impossible to say that if one person is bad, the whole family is bad, but sometimes there will be a phenomenon that people from the same family are not close to each other.

So at that time, the man saw that finding Master Sun could help his family and he could also receive money from the masked man, so of course he was unwilling to do it. He didn't care whether it would harm Master Sun and just went to his door.

This kind of character is also the reason why Master Sun is so righteous at this moment and is willing to help others without asking for money. The other party thanks him profusely but shows no sign of showing any sign of gratitude in action. He has no intention of stopping harming Master Sun at all. He thanks him verbally but wants to continue harming Master Sun without any hesitation in his heart.

Just as Master Sun was preparing to write a name card and submit it to the government office in the capital as the other party had instructed, a sixth-rank official nearby had his house searched.

As mentioned before, there are many middle and low-level officials around the area where the eldest son lives, so it is normal that there are homes of sixth-rank officials around.

This sixth-rank official lived not far from Mr. Sun's house, but not in the same area.

Although the people living in this area are all of some wealth, the less wealthy families are also divided into different areas. For example, the area where Master Sun lives is basically inhabited by wealthy men like Master Sun. There is another area where all the residents are merchants. As for this sixth-rank official, he lives in the area opposite Master Sun's house. That area is basically inhabited by officials.

Although they were not in the same area, they were just across the street, so when their house was raided, Mr. Sun and others still knew about it.

"What's going on with this family?" Mr. Sun asked his neighbors curiously.

Although he had seen officials being arrested twice since Mr. Sun moved in, he was still curious no matter how many times it happened. After all, it is human nature to like to watch the fun.

The neighbor next door was well-informed. When he heard Master Sun's question, he said, "What else can we do? I heard that in order to make extra money, he passed messages to the county government and took on lawsuits. Someone was wrongly killed, and the case was investigated. He was stripped of his official position and his property was confiscated. I heard that the master was beheaded and his family members were either imprisoned or exiled. It was tragic."

Although the capital city is located under the feet of the emperor, its administrative divisions are the same as those of the rest of the country, with prefectures, counties and districts. Therefore, the capital city naturally also has county-level administrative divisions. When people file a complaint, they have to go to the county government office first. Only if they feel that the county government office does not handle the matter well can they go to the prefectural government office or the prefectural government office.

The sixth-rank officials in the capital are indeed only middle-level officials, but specifically in the area where Master Sun and his people are, the sixth-rank officials can still have a say in the county government, especially if the other party has a good relationship with the officials in the county government, then it will definitely play a role.

Those who had come to ask Master Sun for help had also asked him to speak to the county government in their area. After all, with Master Sun's current power, he would not be able to speak to the government office. (End of this chapter)
