Upon hearing these words, Shu Lin didn't react for a moment and stood rooted to the spot. Qian Xi stepped forward and pushed old man Wang away. He scolded, "You brave old servant! Young Master Shu is someone you can touch! "

Previously, Little White had told old man Wang that if there was a conflict with Shu Lin, there was no need to let it go and directly capture him to report to the official.

Although old man Wang was pushed back by Qian Xi, he did not back down. He once again grabbed Shu Lin's arm, pulling him forward. At this time, Meng Liang and Qian Xi also wanted to hit old man Wang, but the younger sister of old man Wang picked up the broom and hit them.

At this time, Shu Lin finally reacted. He looked at old man Wang and sneered, pointed at old man Wang's nose and cursed, "Good old man, you don't know what's good for you. Didn't you want to go to court? Today, this young master will go and fight with you, and I'll let you know just how amazing I am! "

Thus, Shu Lin didn't bother with old man Wang and took the initiative to walk in the direction of the magistrate court. When Old man Wang saw that Shu Lin had gone to the yamen himself, he instructed his sister to go to Lil 'White and tell him to go to court. He followed Shu Lin to the entrance of the yamen.

Before long, the two of them had arrived at the yamen's entrance. Without waiting for old man Wang's response, Shu Lin stood in front of the yamen's entrance, picked up the drum hammer and beat the drum three times. Although it had only been three rings, it had already exhausted Shu Lin, who usually lived a comfortable life.

In this wing, the Prefect heard someone outside the door cry out grievances, change clothes, and rise to court. When Shu Lin arrived, he asked Meng Liang to go to his home and inform his father. When Old Master Shu heard that his son was still pestering her about the matter of the embroidery lady, he felt extremely unhappy in his heart. However, Meng Liang was a man with a glib tongue. He told Master Shu that since Old Man Wang's house now had a real estate, it would be worth it if he could use the six hundred taels of silver to exchange for Old Man Wang's property.

When Old Master Shu heard this, he felt that it made sense. Thus, he instructed the butler to bring the IOU and rushed over to the magistrate court in a hurry. At the same time, old man Wang's sister also came to the inn, informing him about the case. When Little White heard this, he reported to Luo Lingwei. When Luo Lingwei heard this news, she took Zhang Long, Little White and the other two to the yamen's entrance.

At this moment, the new Prefect of Ming Lin Prefecture sat in front of the hall and saw two people kneeling down. One of them had scholarly and refined clothing, and with just a glance, one could tell that he was a son of a rich family.

"The two of you hit the drum, what is it? If there is an injustice today, it is fine, but if there is nothing to beat the drum, then I will reward the two of you with twenty boards each! "

As soon as the magistrate asked, Shu Lin cupped his hands and replied, "Reporting to my lord, my surname is Shu Lin, and I am the son of a wealthy merchant from the Shu Clan. Today, I came here to sue this old man for cheating on my Shu family's money! "

When the Prefect heard this, he was somewhat confused. He turned his head to look at old man Wang and asked, "Old man, tell me, what is going on?"

Old man Wang felt a bit more relieved when he saw that the Prefect was not as vicious as the previous two in asking him if he wanted to confess or not. Old man Wang then clasped his hands at the magistrate, "Honored prefect, I am from the Ming Lin manor. My name is Wang San, everyone calls me Old man Wang."

Old man Wang spoke of how Shu Lin coaxed the embroidery lady into signing the IOU, how he forced her to return the money, and why he hid the embroidery lady in his sister's house.

When the Prefect heard this, he had a number of points in his heart. He nodded and asked again, "Shu Lin, is what Old Man Wang said true?"

After all, Shu Lin was a coward. He stuttered, "No …" "No, this old man is lying."

When the Prefect saw the look on Shu Lin's face, he was furious. He slapped the wooden log on the ground and was about to say something, but then he saw that all the servants had walked up from the back hall and whispered into the Prefect's ear. When the Prefect heard this, he cleared his throat and told everyone to wait in front of the hall.

At this moment, in the back hall, Old Master Shu was waiting for the Prefect's arrival. Upon seeing the Prefect, he didn't say anything more and handed a small box made of rosewood to the Prefect, "Prefect, please help my son!"

The Prefect opened the box and saw a piece of gold and jade inlaid inside. He couldn't help but reveal a knowing smile. He instructed the servants to keep the jade properly, then laughed and said to Master Shu, "Master Shu is too courteous. Your son is the plaintiff, and the evidence is conclusive. "Old Master Shu, don't worry. I will handle this matter impartially."

When Old Master Shu heard this, he felt relieved. He smiled and cupped his hands to the Prefect, "If that's the case, then I'll have to trouble you, Lord Prefect."

After he was done, the Prefect once again returned to the court. It was just that this time, his attitude changed.

"Old man Wang, I'm asking you. You said that it's the young master of the Shu Family who designed this trap, do you have any evidence?" The Prefect began to attack old man Wang.

Old man Wang saw that the Prefect had just come out from the back of the hall, so his attitude changed drastically. He knew in his heart that this Prefect must have received some benefits from this and was about to bring calamity upon them.

Old man Wang couldn't help but sigh. He thought to himself that in the past few years, he had changed many government officials, but the results were all the same. No wonder thieves rose up everywhere in this world. Thinking about this, old man Wang was dispirited. He just wished that the case could end soon. He had to stay in the court for fifteen more minutes, and that would be another fifteen minutes of suffering.

"Sir, this matter is absolutely true. I hope that Lord Yin Tian can investigate it clearly." Old man Wang cupped his hands towards the Prefect.

When the Prefect heard that this old man Wang dared to call him "Old Master Yin Tian", he obviously didn't think much of him. He angrily slapped the wooden table and shouted, "Bastard! How dare you look down on me! Come on, let's go and fight 40 more times! "

At the Prefect's order, a group of bailiffs stepped forward to grab old man Wang and start fighting. However, at this moment, he heard an announcement from the outside, "Consort Grand Dominance has arrived!"

The Prefect was stunned and thought he had misheard. At this moment, Luo Lingwei led Zhang Long, Little White and Little White through the mansion's gate and into the courtyard. Luo Lingwei saw that the Prefect was still sitting in the court, so she gave a cold snort. However, Zhang Long shouted loudly: "Bastard! "Even after meeting esteemed wangfei, you still haven't come to pick her up!"

At this time, the Prefect seemed to have awoken from a dream and scrambled from his seat and knelt in front of Luo Lingwei.

"This humble official dares to ask, why has the Empress come to visit?" The Prefect hurriedly asked.
