Great Lawyer

Chapter 432

After listening to Marquis Jingning's analysis, the Empress Dowager exchanged glances with Nanny Qian, and the three of them immediately reached a consensus.

If you can't keep King Gui, you can keep Du Jiuyan.

"How to stay?" Qian Momo asked: "Mr. Du's personality looks easy to get along with, but he is actually a very thoughtful person. Moreover, her family is still in Shaoyang. I heard that there are still people waiting at home."

"Let her stay in the capital, there is no justifiable reason, definitely not."

Jingninghou said: "I'll come up with a solution for this matter."

Both the Queen Mother and Nanny Qian looked at Marquis Jingning.

After a while, the queen mother said: "Don't do anything drastic, that kid Jiuyan is very nice, it's not good to hurt your feelings."

"Sister, I'm not a child." Jingning Hou said: "I will figure it out. If it doesn't work, I will talk to Mr. Du. She is a litigator and must understand the righteousness. For the lifelong happiness of her friends, she will also willing to sacrifice."

After hearing what he said, the queen mother finally felt relieved.

……

Du Jiuyan and the others were very bored. They were playing cards at home, and Song Jiyi was drawn with a face of a turtle, and cried and said that he wanted to gamble.

"You're talking about gambling." Du Jiuyan said, "If you lose in a while, it's no longer drawing a turtle."

Song Jiyi looked at him bitterly, "Nine, nine, nine brothers, I, I, I want, I want, I want to go home!"

"Let's go, let's go!" Du Jiuyan was also very bored. After finishing all the things, he didn't have the opportunity to do what he wanted to do. It was really a headache.

Zhou Xiao said: "Otherwise, will you be listed in the capital to accept the lawsuit?"

"Okay," Dou Rongxing nodded, "This way we have something to do."

Everyone looked at Du Jiuyan.

"I'm very hesitant," Du Jiuyan said, "I've been in this mood for the past two months, which makes me very unhappy."

Little Carrot was peeling melon seeds, and gave the melon seeds to Du Jiuyan to eat, "Father, I think your unhappiness is not because of indecision!"

Du Jiuyan looked at him, waiting for his opinion.

"It's because you're too busy." Little Luobo said, "You're born to work hard, and when you have something to do, you're very handsome."

As he spoke, he brought the melon seeds in his chubby hands to her.

"My son has a good opinion." Du Jiuyan ate, and said: "Open the door to accept the lawsuit... I don't know if the legal fees in the capital are high?"

Zhou Xiao smiled, and said, "I've inquired about it. A famous litigator like you can pay at least 100 taels for the defense of a criminal case."

Du Jiuyan no longer looks down on 100 taels, but I have to say that this price is very good.

Du Jiuyan smacked his mouth and was about to speak, when he heard footsteps outside, Huazi and Naoer ran in, shivering from the cold, stuffing their hands into the quilt on the kang to keep warm, "It's snowing again , It's so cold outside."

"Why did you come back so soon, and don't listen to the show today?" Dou Rongxing asked.

The two children have been going to the opera every day recently, especially Hanako, who is almost obsessed.

"No, I heard that something happened to the theater troupe, and we can't continue singing until tomorrow." Huazi said, "It's said to be haunted."

Du Jiuyan said: "Haunted ghosts, please ask Taoist Mao. Taoist Mao is also very busy recently, and I haven't even brought out the toys I asked him to make."

"Who speaks ill of the poor?" Daoist Mao lifted the curtain, his nose and face were red from the cold, and he stood in front of the table with a stone the size of an egg lying in his hand, "Do you want to see it?"

Everyone looked at him.

"Your elixir is much larger than that of ordinary Taoist priests."

"It's really special." Du Jiuyan said in admiration.

Daoist Mao waved his hand, "It's not a pill, come and have a look."

Everyone followed him to the door. When he rubbed the stone with flint, he heard a sizzling sound, and then the stone began to emit smoke, like a chimney. Most importantly, the smoke was very smelly.

"Daoist Mao, are you roasting rotten eggs?" Du Jiuyan covered Xiao Luobo's nose with a handkerchief, and she herself was dizzy from the smoke.

Taoist Mao said proudly: "Think about it, if the two armies are at war, if I release ten of these things, they won't be smoked to death!"

"I will smoke myself first." Dou Rongxing covered his nose, "Everyone has a nose."

Taoist Mao said angrily: "Of course it depends on the weather. In the windy weather, if you release a bad smell, the effect will definitely be better than thousands of troops."

"I hope you will succeed soon!" Du Jiuyan pulled Xiaoluo into the door, and everyone hid in together and closed the door.

Taoist Mao snorted and said, "I really don't know how to appreciate it."

"What are you doing?" King Gui came in from the door. The smoke had just cleared but the stench was still there. He stared at Taoist Mao, looking up and down, suspecting that he was incontinent.

Taoist Mao told King Gui of his great ambitions and ideas.

"Okay, you will be the striker in future battles." King Gui said and entered the door.

The corners of Taoist Mao's mouth trembled, and he followed in, "Poverty Taoist doesn't know martial arts, he can only make these weapons."

King Gui ignored her.

"My lord," Du Jiuyan said, "Just now we discussed that since we can't leave, we should make money from him in the capital first."

King Gui asked, "Open the Sanchi Hall?"

"Yeah." Du Jiuyan said: "Recently everyone has been squandering too much, and they are all poor."

After she finished speaking, the other four nodded.

A new set of clothes does cost a lot of money.

"Okay," King Gui didn't care, he would be wherever Du Jiuyan was, "Do you want to find a shop? Rent a house?"

Du Jiuyan frowned, and asked tentatively, "Put a sign at the gate of the palace?"

"Okay," King Gui said, "But if you count me in, I'm too busy!"

Du Jiuyan said: "You are overqualified as a litigator."

King Gui was about to speak, when Xie Hua came in from the door, and said with a smile, "Mr. Du, Master Qian sent a servant here, saying that he has something to discuss with you, please go to Dali Temple."

"Master Qian, please me?" Du Jiuyan was puzzled, "Did you say anything?"

Xie Hua shook his head.

"I have a feeling." Du Jiuyan got off the kang and said while wearing a padded jacket, "Master Qian may want to thank me for saving my life and allow me to make a lot of money."

Someone couldn't help laughing.

"I remember that you didn't seem to save him, did you tell who gave money to save whom?" King Gui said.

Du Jiuyan glanced at him, "Anyway, he was released because of my superb defense and reasoning skills, and he was also promoted."

"This kindness, if he wants to return it to me, he will not shirk it."

As Du Jiuyan said, he went to Dali Temple.

Qian Yu was reading the file in front of the desk where Wu Wenjun used to sit, and smiled when he saw her, "Sit down quickly."

The servant served tea, and the two sat down opposite the Arhat's bed.

"My lord, what do you want from me?" Du Jiuyan asked.

Qian Yu said: "Are you planning to open a lawsuit in the capital, or will you return to Shaoyang?"

"Shaoyang must go back." Du Jiuyan said: "My lord, is this something good for you?"

Qian Yu refilled her tea, "I haven't thanked you for the corruption case yet. To be honest, with you, this kind of messy and impossible case suddenly became easy and simple."

"This makes me admire you very much." Qian Yu said.

Du Jiuyan smiled.

"The government office took over a case in the morning," Qian Yu said, "The friend of the murdered person wants to hire a litigator, and I recommended you. It just so happens that this case is also very complicated, so you can help them investigate together."

"No one else can investigate this case except you."

The corner of Du Jiuyan's mouth trembled, "My lord, how much is the legal fee?"

Qian Yu was taken aback, then laughed, and said, "How much do you want?"

"It depends on the case, whether it is for me to investigate or to litigate. If both investigation and defense are required, the price will be doubled." Du Jiuyan said.

Qian Yu smiled, shook his head and said, "You child, I see that you are really fearless."

"Last time, you were not afraid of the case of the Chengde Marquis Mansion?" Qian Yu asked.

Du Jiuyan shook his head, "My lord, as long as the case is handled impartially, the litigator shouldn't be the one to be afraid of!"

Qian Yu was startled, went through this sentence in his heart, understood, looked at Du Jiuyan with a trace of solemnity, and said: "You are right, I am measuring you with the eyes of bureaucrats."

"If you lawyers have to think about the past and the future when defending others, then something is really wrong in this world."

Du Jiuyan should be.

"300 taels!" Qian Yu said, "The case was filed this morning. I've assigned an officer to take you to the government office. What do you think?"

This price is not bad, Du Jiuyan smiled and said: "Okay."

"When will work start?" Du Jiuyan asked.

Qian Yu laughed, "The sooner the better, it's best to go now, after all, the longer the delay, the fewer clues there may be."

"I'll have someone take you to the government office, and someone from the government office will accompany you to the scene of the crime. The police in the government office should still be there." Qian Yu said.

Du Jiuyan responded with a smile, "Then the student will go there now."

Du Jiuyan got up and went out without taking a sip of tea.

As soon as she went out, Jing Ninghou came out from the vertical screen behind Luo Han's bed, cupped his hands at Qian Yu and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Master Hou," Qian Yu said helplessly, "You make it very difficult for me to do this. I originally wanted to thank Du Jiuyan, but now I am harming her instead."

"Du Jiuyan is a shrewd kid, so he might have noticed it."

Jing Ninghou said helplessly: "I am also really helpless. To keep her in the capital, there must be a case to suspend her. Otherwise, if she leaves, the prince's marriage will really be in jeopardy."

Qian Yu understood, thinking about asking Du Jiuyan to drink someday.

Marquis Jingning didn't stay long, and after saying a few words, he said goodbye and came out of Dali Temple. The sedan chair of Marquis Jingning's mansion stopped at the door, and he got on the sedan chair and left without haste.

Du Jiuyan squatted in the alley opposite, muttering, "I knew there was a ghost behind me!"

But it doesn't matter anymore, they just want to keep her in the capital, and then marry King Gui!
Just say she will cooperate.

Du Jiuyan is very kind-hearted, she has things to do and makes money, and the most important thing is that everyone feels that she has suffered a big loss, and she has to feel guilty.

"It's just that the queen mother is not on the road, so why don't you use money to hit her?"

She said, and walked slowly to the government office.

"Mr. Du, it's great that you didn't leave the capital. After the corruption case was over, we all didn't see you and thought you went back."

"Mr. Du, do you still live in the palace?"

"We wanted to ask, but we didn't dare to go. Have you stayed in the capital since then?"

When I met the people in Beijing, people who knew her surrounded her.

　Today is really the third watch!See you tomorrow.

　　By the way, I’m going to meet friends I haven’t seen in [-] tonight. Everyone used to work in a foreign land. After work, I would make appointments for gatherings in places. I would open two tables, and after eating, I would “kill people” and play until dawn. Put your face to work.

　　For the entire four or five years, almost every weekend and leisure time, we spent together.

　　Looking back on the past, I summed up a truth, that is, I can’t stay up late now, and I used to stay up casually...

　　old!want to cry.
