Great Lawyer

Chapter 535 Tentacle Monster ([-])

"My lord, Mr. Du, have you had lunch yet? I'll go home for dinner."

"Don't go to her house, her cooking is not good, come to my house, my house, my cooking is not only delicious, but also my old hen can eat, I will cook it for you."

King Gui raised his brows, with an expression of being honored and honored, "Ask Mr. Du, we will go if she says so."

"I won't go today, and I will come to disturb her another day." Du Jiuyan looked at a group of people surrounding her and said with a smile.

"Mr. Du, these are the buns I just steamed. You can take a few to eat on the way." The uncle who sold the buns stuffed her with seven or eight buns.

"The freshly fried chestnuts, you can take them with you on the way."

Seeing that Du Jiuyan didn't go to eat, the businessmen on both sides rushed to give her something.

Du Jiuyan couldn't hold it, so he put it in the hands of King Gui, and said to everyone, "you are too polite, the prince and I are just doing our duty, you don't have to do this."

"It's not easy. You treat us well, and we love you too. If you're all well and live a prosperous life, we'll be satisfied."

Everyone nodded, and someone said: "Sir, you will not return to Shaoyang in the future. The small place in Shaoyang can't accommodate such a big Bodhisattva like you."

"Yes, yes, stay in the capital."

"Mr. Du, what you said today is really good. You are right. We don't tolerate animals. Even if we can't punish him by ourselves, we can go to you to find the government."

"Don't be patient, don't be assimilated, otherwise we will be the sword in the hands of those beasts."

"I don't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me."

Everyone was chattering, and Du Jiuyan's head was numb when he heard it!Actually, she didn't have such connotations, she just wanted to kill Jing Yachong.

"Yes, what everyone said makes sense. We do things without forgetting our original aspirations, treat people with kindness, and don't be afraid of things but don't fight them."

"Safe and healthy, protecting the family is the most important thing." Du Jiuyan said with a smile.

"Mr. Du," a small policeman squeezed in quickly, and said with a smile: "Sir, Mr. Qi invites you to go to the government office."

Du Jiuyan nodded, "Let's go, let's go!" Saying goodbye to everyone, "Thank you for your things, thank you!"

Everyone talked with her all the way and sent her into the government office.

She left, but the street did not calm down. Although everyone couldn't remember Du Jiuyan's words just now, the unstoppable enthusiasm that rushed out had not calmed down so far, and echoed in their hearts all the time.

In Jixian Academy, the defenders of the government office withdrew, and all the students wanted to enter the city, but they had already heard the bad news.

Someone wanted to cry, but his classmates stopped him, saying: "Don't cry, you go to the city to find out, things are not what we understand."

"Let's all be sober, we can't blindly trust him just because he is our husband, and don't care about right and wrong."

They are all scholars, and their hearts are like mirrors.

Whether Jing Yachong did it or not, they had already guessed.It's more not reluctance, but disbelief and fear of being too indifferent and making classmates look down on them.

Now that someone said it, the students stopped insisting and went back to study as birds and beasts.

How the Jixian Academy is arranged, the imperial court will definitely have an explanation.

Du Jiuyan met Qi Daiqing and Shan Dequan in the government office.

"Outside the palace gate today, Du Jiuyan's eloquence and eloquence are really admirable." Qi Daiqing said with a smile: "It is really a blessing for the court and the people to have a litigator like Mr. Du in Dazhou."

Du Jiuyan cupped his hands and said, "I won't refuse if others praise you, but you don't, my lord."

"Students still have a clear account of how many catties and taels they have."

Qi Daiqing laughed, thought for a while and said, "Then talk about another thing."

"Just now, one of my colleagues in the official department told me in private that I may be transferred to Songjiang for this year's report." Qi Daiqing smiled, and cupped his hands at King Gui and Du Jiuyan, "Thanks to the blessings of the prince and Mr. Qi can be regarded as going out."

He doesn't want to be the governor of Yanjing at all. As an official here, there is no one from top to bottom that he can offend.

"Congratulations, my lord." Du Jiuyan said: "The sky is high, let the birds fly, my lord will definitely have a great achievement when I go out this time."

Qi Daiqing waved his hand, "Mr. Du was joking, but I dare not say what I have achieved, but I just want to sleep for an extra hour every day. My wish is enough!"

"One more thing, my wife is from Songjiang." Qi Daiqing said with a smile: "This time, it can be regarded as half of my hometown."

Qi Daiqing was very happy.

"It's rare, your official luck is good." Gui Wang said: "Songjiang is rich, if you come back after a few years when you have more money, you won't be a magistrate."

Qi Daiqing stood up frightened, "I would never dare to be an official for corruption!"

King Gui waved his hand, "Don't talk about it, who will take over after you leave?"

"I don't know yet, but the Ministry of Officials reckons that someone is already there. If the prince has someone to choose, he can go to the Ministry of Officials to say hello." Qi Daiqing said.

King Gui would not go to say hello, whoever is the official and who is sitting in any official position has nothing to do with him. He said that if he does not interfere with the government, it is impossible to intervene.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Wu should be here soon." Du Jiuyan said with a smile: "The capital is very lively recently."

She thought of Wu Dianyin, and thought of Fu Tao... Fu Tao is the chief political envoy, and he has only been in office for a year. This year, he only needs to be assessed by the Ministry of Officials, and there is no need to come to the capital to report on his duties.

"However, do you intend to stay in the capital or return to Shaoyang?" Qi Daiqing asked Du Jiuyan.

Du Jiuyan said: "Go back to Shaoyang. The case is almost cleared, and the rest has nothing to do with me."

When Jing Ya rushed to her death, her worries were settled.

"Okay, okay. Maybe we'll have a chance to meet again in a few years," Qi Daiqing said with a smile, "I was still hearing rumors that day that as long as you work hard with Du Jiuyan, you will have a prosperous career in office."

"I have been able to follow my wish this time, and I am also honored by Mr. Du."

Du Jiuyan cupped his hands with a smile, and said, "Then, after arriving safely in Songjiang, my lord must send some special products to express my deep gratitude."

Qi Daiqing laughed loudly, and cupped his hands.

"There's another matter," Qi Daiqing looked at Shan Dequan, "Shan Dequan also has something to tell everyone."

Shan Dequan and everyone nodded, and said helplessly: "The doctor said that my injury has been delayed for too long. I am afraid that even if all of them heal in the future, I will not be able to do heavy work again."

"Yamen, I'm afraid it won't work." Shan Dequan said: "My wife and I have saved a little money in the past few years, and we are going to start a small business. The good thing is that the three children have grown up and can help."

"In the future, I will decide to do a small business, and then I will write to tell you."

As he said, he got up and saluted King Gui and everyone, "Thank you for taking care of me. I have been a catcher for so many years, and I have learned a lot during this period. I thought I could apply what I learned, but I didn't expect... But I can take a few I am an apprentice, let them fulfill my wish for me in the future."

King Gui asked Qi Daiqing, "Has the Yamen reported it? How much silver will the court award?"

"It's been reported. According to the past practice, it is estimated to be around 300 taels." Qi Daiqing said.

300 taels is neither too much nor too little, King Gui said: "He has worked so hard for so many years, and his hands are the foundation. Just say what I mean, no matter how much the award is, it will be doubled."

"Thank you, my lord." Qi Daiqing cupped his hands, and Shan Dequan followed suit.

Du Jiuyan and Shan Dequan said: "You are a real man, I admire you!"

"Mr. Du is the real man, Mr. Shan is convinced by Mr. Du."

Du Jiuyan laughed, "Together."

King Gui glanced at Du Jiuyan's hand on Shan Dequan's shoulder, and secretly rolled his eyes.

It seems that it's not that she can't remember that she is Princess Gui, it's that she doesn't even remember that she is a woman.

The two came out of the government office and went to the suburbs.

Da Zhuang's health was much better, and he and Fat Rou ran to the door to meet them. The two stayed in the yard for an afternoon, had lunch with everyone, and then returned to Gui Wang's Mansion.

As soon as they arrived at the door, a little girl ran out of the alley, saluted the two of them, and said, "My lord, Mr. Du, this servant is Qiaoer from the Chengde Marquis Mansion. Greetings to my lord and Mr. Du."

"You are Ji Yu's servant girl, what's the matter?" Du Jiuyan asked.

Qiao'er replied: "My lady has something to tell my husband, but it's not convenient for her to come out, so I asked if my husband and the prince can move to the mansion."

"But what's the matter?"

Qiao'er looked around and said in a low voice, "It's related to Jing Yachong."

Du Jiuyan and King Gui looked at each other, King Gui frowned, and she said, "Let's go and have a look."

The two went to Chengdehou's mansion, Mrs. Qin came out and greeted King Gui casually and left, Chengdehou Ji Xianan accompanied Ji Yu to meet them.

Du Jiuyan was a little surprised. Compared with the last meeting, Ji Yu lost a lot of weight, and his spirit was obviously not as good as before.

"It's like this," Ji Yu said, "...the last time the horse went crazy, we found out the mother Li at home. She has been with my grandmother for more than ten years."

"Today, she actually planned to poison the medicine I drank, and was caught by the family servants on the spot. When she was interrogated, she didn't say anything at first, and she didn't let go until just now, saying that Jing Yachong asked her to do it of."

Du Jiuyan raised his eyebrows, "And then."

"She said that Jing Yachong originally wrote a script, but later changed it impromptuly, plotting against me and making my horse go crazy. Originally, he wanted us to spend the night outside the city."

"I didn't expect King Gui and Mr. Du to rescue me very smoothly, and they came back that night."

"Jing Yachong gave the order to let the mother-in-law provoke my grandmother to go to the palace to cause trouble, intending to make..." Ji Yu glanced at King Gui, and said in a low voice: "Let the prince be responsible for my reputation, and drag the two of you away." footsteps."

That's the way it is, no wonder there is such an outburst all of a sudden.Du Jiuyan said: "Fortunately, you are fine."

"Yes!" Ji Yu said, "Because it's inconvenient for me to go out and I want to tell the two of you, so I take the liberty of inviting you to the mansion."

"This time, we are wrong. I beg the prince and Mr. Du to forgive me."

She said, blessing the two of them, "I'm sorry. We haven't had time to repay the grace of saving life, but we have repaid the favor."

"It's all over." Du Jiuyan said, "Where is my mother-in-law, can I meet you?"

Ji Yu replied, "Just lock it in the firewood room. If Mr. Du meets again, I will bring him here."

Mother Li was brought over. Because of interrogation, she was beaten so hard that she couldn't walk. She knelt on the ground and hanged her breath. Du Jiuyan knelt down and asked, "Do you have direct contact with Jing Yachong, or is there something in between?" Others pass the message."

Mother Li cried, her voice dry and hoarse: "I, I said, can you spare my life?"

"Mr. Du said whatever he asked you, don't try to bargain." Ji Xianan said.

Mother Li just kept her mouth shut.

"I promise you, I'll spare you." Ji Yu said, "Tell Mr. Du the truth about what you know, and don't make up things."

Mother Li couldn't raise her head, and said weakly: "Mr. Jing asks me to do something, and he always asks his attendant to come to me. If I have something to report to him, I will occasionally go directly to Jiuliu Bamboo Garden to find him."

"What kind of news did you pass on to him?"

Mother Li said: "It's the affairs of Chengdehou's Mansion and An Guogong's Mansion."

"What is he asking about?" Du Jiuyan asked.

Mother Li said: "It's all about big things. For example, when Lord Hou and the Duke discuss the affairs of the court, I will eavesdrop whenever I have the chance. But most of them don't need me to eavesdrop, because I just follow Mrs. Tai, and I will do whatever I want." We all know."

"Have you been to Jiuliu Bamboo Garden many times?"

Mama Li shook her head, "Not much, I only go there two or three times a year for more than ten years, and I always go there when I accompany Mrs. Tai to Fahua Temple."

"Have you...have you seen a strange person in Jiuliu Bamboo Garden?"

Li's mother was puzzled, she shook her head and asked, "I don't know what kind of weird person you are talking about."

"That person is distinguished. He may be someone you know or have met. Jing Yachong's attitude towards him is different from others. He is both respectful and casual." Du Jiuyan said.

Mother Li lay on the ground and thought for a while, "I've seen a lot, Mr. Ren Ge, Mr. Lu Ge, Mr. An and several other adults in the court, and other adults in the court. I have seen them all." Said: "Are they special?"

Du Jiuyan said: "That person..." She guessed the other person's appearance, "He is not tall, he is not very old, at least he will not be over 60 years old, he speaks like a spring breeze, and he may be very humorous."

"High position and weight!"

Mother Li said: "I really don't know, I have never seen such a person."

Du Jiuyan nodded, "Okay. Did he ask you to inquire about Chengde Marquis Mansion and Anguo Gong Mansion? What about other mansions?"

"He has other people to inquire about other mansions, so I don't need it." Li's mother said.

It's really powerful, like a monster full of tentacles, he can reach into every place and crevice... But, is this tentacle monster Jing Yachong, or that person?

"Thank you." Du Jiuyan got up and said to Ji Yu, "Good morning."

Ji Yu said: "Then I... I'll put Mama Li in the Zhuangzi first, and if you have anything else to ask, you can ask her again."

"Miss Ji is thoughtful, thank you very much." Du Jiuyan looked at King Gui and asked if he had anything to say.

King Gui was very annoyed at Chengde Hou's mansion, he had nothing to say, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

"My lord, go slowly!" Ji Yuhe sent the two of them out, and stood at the door for a long time before turning back.

Du Jiuyan whispered: "My lord, don't you really think about it?"

"Miss Ji is very nice."

King Gui looked at her slantingly from the corner of his eyes, with the expression that if you want to talk again, I will kill you.
