Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Xu Jintang, you said that your younger brother Xu Jinzheng got more property, houses and money than you, didn't you?"

"Return to your lord, yes!" Xu Jintang pointed to the **** and said, "He has an extra half acre of land, and he has taken up too much."

Zhang Qixian slapped the gavel, "Shut up! You only need to answer yes or no, and then you will be tortured with more words!"

"Yes Yes."

Zhang Qixian looked at Xu Jinzheng, "Xu Jinzheng, you said that your elder brother Xu Jintang got more property, houses and money than you, didn't you?"

"Go back to your lord, yes"

"En." Zhang Qixian nodded, "Xu Jintang, Xu Jinzheng, my lord, I would like to ask you one last question. Is it true that the two of you sued each other for more land, houses and money than you?"

Xu Jintang and Xu Jinzheng nodded vigorously, and said at the same time, "Master Hui! It's true! It's true!"

"Let them draw a bet"

Xu Jintang and Xu Jinzheng took a pen to write their names on the confession statement for confirmation, Zhang Qixian took it over and looked at it, "Okay! Since you have made a pledge, what you just said cannot be changed. If you go back on your word, you will be punished severely."

"Yes, my lord, no change."

Zhang Qixian stood up, "Hear the judgment!"

Defang and Lu Mengzheng also looked at each other, wondering how Zhang Qixian would judge, Xu Jintang and Xu Jinzheng also knelt and stood up straight to listen, only to hear Zhang Qixian say, "Xu Jintang, Xu Jinzheng, both of you think that the other has more money than you, my lord Let you get what you wish, and the judgment is as follows: Xu Jintang and Xu Jinzheng, you two will exchange the land, houses, and money you have already shared, and each will get what you need. As you have wished, you will go to the government office to change the From now on, you will not be able to sue about the family property, otherwise you will be severely punished according to the laws of the Song Dynasty."

Hearing such a verdict, Xu Jintang and Xu Jinzheng were stunned. Defang and Lu Mengzheng didn't expect it to be so. The whole lobby suddenly fell silent. After a long time, Zhang Qixian picked up the gavel and slapped "Retire!"

The yamen servants on both sides were also startled, and hurriedly shouted their authority, set up Xu Jintang and Xu Jinzheng, who had not been relieved, and exited the lobby, Zhang Qixian walked up to Defang and Lu Mengzheng, "You two, the case is closed, my lord, my lord! What do you think of this verdict?"

Defang looked at Zhang Qixian and said, "Gao Ming! Hahahaha, this verdict is really terrible! Now the lonely king finally understands what you mean by getting what you want."

Lu Mengzheng also said with a smile, "Master Zhang's move is very clever, let Xu Jintang and Xu Jinzheng use their own methods to solve their own affairs, even if they are not convinced, they have nothing to say."

"My lord, Mr. Lu, do you want to enter the palace again?"

Defang smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Zhang really decided to settle this family dispute case that has troubled His Majesty for several months. We have only been out of the palace for half an hour, and now we are going to enter the palace again. I am afraid that His Majesty I will also be amazed by Mr. Zhang's wonderful judgment."

The three entered the palace again, and Zhang Qixian reported the verdict of the foreign relatives' property dispute case to Zhenzong. Zhenzong was amazed and rewarded Zhang Qixian heavily. Yue's family property dispute case.
