Great Lawyer

Chapter 427 New Friends Old Friends ([-])

In King Gui's mansion, Meng Jiao was sitting at the hands of King Gui, facing several people from Sanchitang. The wine and dishes were served one after another, and everyone raised their glasses to toast Meng Jiao's wine.

"Meng Dudu, if it weren't for your help this time, the case would not have gone so smoothly, thank you!" Du Jiuyan raised his glass to thank him.

Meng Jiao waved his hand and said, "It's just a small effort. What's more, it is my honor, Meng Jiao, to get to know you."

"Don't say polite words, drink!"

Meng Jiao was very straightforward, drank the wine in the glass, smacked his mouth and said to King Gui: "My lord, your wine is not bad, but it came from the palace?"

"When I came out of the palace yesterday, I took two jars with me. If you like it, I will bring some more tomorrow and send them to your house." King Gui said.

Meng Jiao and King Gui made official contact for the first time.Before King Gui left the capital, others were in Xuantong. When he came back to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to serve as the governor of the Left Army, King Gui had already left the capital.

He also had the idea of ​​asking for orders to lead troops to recover Guangxi, but seeing that the Holy Majesty had no such intentions, he stopped and wrote to Guo Ting to let him be calm.

It was only later that I found out that after King Gui pulled up the frightening banner, he was just a child playing house.

Later, all he heard was some nonsense from King Gui.And last year King Gui suddenly captured Zhenyuan Mansion, so far, Zhenyuan Mansion has been under his control.

Guo Ting also played against King Gui twice because of this.

From Guo Ting's description, it seems that King Gui is not so dandy.

In short, he was curious and vague about King Gui. After talking today, he found that King Gui was actually different from the rumors.

Although he looks a little unsteady, in fact he speaks and acts with great sense of proportion.

He is a very interesting person.

"I don't dare to bother you, my lord, I'm very satisfied to have a good meal here." Meng Jiao said with a smile.

King Gui waved his hand, "Sit down and talk, you're welcome here."

Meng Jiao sat down, thought for a while and asked, "It's the first time I've seen His Majesty's anger this morning. Wu Wenjun is really... devoid of humanity!"

After he finished speaking, he shook his head again, "Don't spoil the fun, drink!"

King Gui drank with him.

The two came and went, and finished the two jars of wine. Meng Jiao was a little drunk, fearing that he would lose his composure in the palace if he got drunk later on, so he got up and said goodbye, "Meng will be the host in another day, please come to our house as guests."

Everyone should be, send him all the way to the door, wait for him to get into his own carriage, and then close the door and come back.

"Haven't you had any contact with Meng Jiao?" Du Jiuyan looked at King Gui.

King Gui shook his head, "I have no contact with anyone in the court."

Du Jiuyan nodded, expressing his deep approval and admiration for King Gui's actions.

It is not easy for a person to be able to distinguish what is acceptable and what is not acceptable, and to measure the degree of one thing to the right level.

He occupied Guangxi but didn't raise troops wantonly, he messed around but didn't communicate secretly with anyone in the court...

Therefore, when everyone talked about him, except that he was idle and messing around, no one really doubted that he really wanted to be emperor.

Even she didn't think about it afterward.

"My lord, do you want that position?" Du Jiuyan said in a low voice, "Seeking power to usurp the throne!"

King Gui shook his head, "I don't want to!"

The corner of Du Jiuyan's mouth trembled, he had nothing to say.

"Obviously when you just looked at me, your eyes were appreciative, why did you turn to dislike me in the blink of an eye?" King Gui asked, "What are you thinking in your heart?"

Du Jiuyan chuckled, "I didn't think about anything, it's because you thought too much."

The two returned to the flower hall, the food on the table had been collected, and everyone was chatting about Ji Changping.

"My lord, Brother Nine, you said that Wu Wenjun was responsible for Ji Changping's death?" Dou Rongxing asked curiously: "The people in Ji's residence were decisive enough to kill Wu Wenjun's son immediately."

Also used such a clever method.

"Wu Wenjun has no reason." Du Jiuyan sat down to drink tea, "It's not good for him to kill Ji Changping now, how could he do that."

"Then...then what do you mean, someone is instigating people from Jifu to kill Wu Wenjun's son? But besides venting his anger, killing his son doesn't have much impact on Wu Wenjun's conviction!"

Qian Daoan said: "Maybe there is!"

Dou Rong just looked at him.

"From the perspective of outsiders, if the Ji family can kill Wu Jingqing, they can kill Wu Wenjun!" Zhou Xiao said.

Dou Rongxing suddenly understood, and said in horror: "Then, isn't Wu Wenjun sure to die tonight?"

He said and looked at Du Jiuyan, "Brother Jiu, don't you care about this?"

"I'm a small litigator, I can't control me if I want to." Du Jiuyan rolled his eyes at him, "Don't worry, if someone wants Wu Wenjun to die, there must be someone who doesn't want him to die."

"What do you mean?" Dou Rongxing asked.

Song Jiyi raised his hand, "I, I, I know, know, say."

"I don't want to hear from you." Dou Rongxing covered his chest, waiting anxiously for Du Jiuyan to clarify his doubts.

Song Jiyi broke Dou Rongxing's hand away and said, "Chao, Chao, Chao Dou!"

Dou Rongxing was stunned, "Co-author, just such a simple explanation?"

After he finished speaking, everyone showed a stupid, contemptuous expression on you.

"I, I, I ask, ask, seriously, something!" Song Jiyi raised his hand.

Everyone looked at him.

"Wh, what, when, when, waiting, back, back?"

Everyone looked at Du Jiuyan again.

"I'm hesitant." Du Jiuyan looked at Cai Zhuoru who had been silent all this time, "When will your shop open?"

Cai Zhuoru smiled wryly, "It will be in the twelfth lunar month, the exact time has not been determined yet."

"Don't you want to stay in the capital for the New Year?"

Du Jiuyan was in a dilemma. On the one hand, she was very afraid that the queen mother would invite her to talk, for example, to give her 1000 million silver, 50 mu of land or half a country, and let her leave King Gui. After all, she hadn't decided whether she wanted the money or not. .

On the one hand, she felt that it was inappropriate to put Cai Zhuoru alone in the capital.

There is one more thing she didn't do, which is to put the matter of autopsy back on "Zhou Lv"

She also invited lawyers from all over the country to come to the capital, but this matter cannot be accomplished overnight, there is no chance to bring it up suddenly, the possibility of success is too small.

Cai Zhuoru looked at her eagerly.

King Gui was not happy.

The lame man drank tea, his eyes wandered to Cai Zhuoru.

"Okay!" Du Jiuyan said, "Leave after the Chinese New Year."

Cai Zhuoru smiled, nodded and said, "Okay!"

Dou Rongxing watched, and whispered in Qian Daoan's ear, "Why do you look, Mr. Cai is getting weaker and weaker?"

"Is there?" Qian Daoan asked.

Dou Rongxing nodded, "He's fine when he's talking to us, but when he's talking to Brother Nine, even his eyes soften a lot, and...he's acting coquettish and weak."

Qian Daoan pushed him away, "Don't think about messy things."

Xiao Luobo yawned, and Du Jiuyan was also a little tired. He got up and said, "Go back to sleep. I'll be fine tomorrow afternoon. Let's find a place to play."

"Go to the theater." Little Luobo woke up immediately, "Father, that tile shop is so big, it has everything from morning to night."

"I also listened to Yue Fei's biography that day, and we watched sideshows yesterday."

"Let's go and see together." Little Carrot said excitedly.

Du Jiuyan nodded, "Tomorrow afternoon, we'll go to Wat Si to watch a play and listen to a play. Tonight, we'll have dinner at Tianxianglou."

As soon as she mentioned Tianxiang Tower, everyone immediately looked at her, Dou Rongxing said: "Who, who, who please?"

Du Jiuyan said: "Tomorrow morning, I have an appointment with Master Qiu."

Everyone dispersed, Du Jiuyan led Xiaoluo back to the room, the mother and son washed up and lay on the warm kang, Xiaoluo beat Du Jiuyan's shoulders, "Mother, when shall we go to see Dabaiya again?"

"I won't go." Du Jiuyan said: "But you can go."

Little Carrot smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, okay!"

"Da Bai Ya must miss me very much too." Little Luobo lay on top of her, "Mother, do you want to recognize your relatives, or can we secretly recognize Da Bai Ya as relatives?"

Du Jiuyan shook his head, "He has a heart of a child, he is pure and simple, and he cannot keep a secret for us."

"You like him, go play with him more, we can't take risks." Du Jiuyan said.

Little Luobo thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I see."

On the second day, Qiu Zhang rested and took a rest. When he arrived, Du Jiuyan was finishing his exercises and was returning to sleep.

King Gui was afraid of neglecting Qiu Zhang, so he specifically pointed out Taoist Mao to talk with Qiu Zhang.

The two people looked at each other a bit displeased, so Taoist Mao cupped his hands and said, "Master Qiu, you can play by yourself, and I will bid you farewell."

"No, no!" Qiu Zhang said.

Taoist Mao disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Du Jiuyan knew that Taoist Mao was coming, so he just woke up after taking a nap. After washing up, Qiu Zhang was drinking tea and looked at her sadly, "Jiuyan, the old man is thinking about catching up on sleep here."

Du Jiuyan asked: "Doesn't your lord sleep well on weekdays?"

"It's true. I can only sleep for two hours a night. It's not surprising that people are old." Qiu Zhang said.

Du Jiuyan shook his head, "My lord may have too much money, that's why I'm not at ease."

"It's also possible," Qiu Zhang laughed, and took 2 taels of silver notes from his pocket and handed them to Du Jiuyan, "It's a real legal fee."

Du Jiuyan said: "Give it to Bian Wenqing? It's a generous deal, half of the property is given to me."

"If you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about no firewood. What is he afraid of?" Qiu Zhang said: "With so much money, please eat, Tianxianglou."

"My lord, we want to go together." Du Jiuyan said.

Qiu Zhang said: "You also want to go to Tianxiang Tower?"

"No, I want you to treat me too." Du Jiuyan smiled and added tea to Qiu Zhang, "I have a hunch that you are going to be promoted."

Qiu Zhang smiled wretchedly, and said, "This old man also feels the same way. His right eye has been twitching since morning!"

"The Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Industry, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I am not picky," Qiu Zhang said.

"Your Excellency is a brick, you can move it wherever you need it, right?" Du Jiuyan said.

"Yes, yes, that's what it means." Qiu Zhang said: "I love what you say. Okay, please go to Tianxianglou for dinner."

Du Jiuyan also laughed.

"You don't know yet, Wu Wenjun didn't die last night!" Qiu Zhang said.

Du Jiuyan was not surprised, "Not only will he not die, but he will live well in prison!"

Qiu Zhang gave a thumbs up and said in a low voice, "Old Lu Ge's move is beautiful!"
