Xia Yi stuffed some silver for the officers and soldiers, and changed clothes slowly before going out. The officers and soldiers didn't say anything.
The Yamen in the capital city is much more imposing than the County Yamen in the county, and the place is much more spacious.
Maybe it's because manager Tan has long spread the story, even there are a lot of people around the yamen gate.
There are three layers inside and three layers outside. It's hard for Xia Yi to squeeze in with her own strength if there are no officers and soldiers in front of her.
When Xia Yi arrives at the yamen, everyone has arrived.
The magistrate must be in a hurry. His face is not very friendly.
Xia Yi seemed to know nothing about it. He only blessed the magistrate and said, "I've met the magistrate."
After that, he stood upright on the court, with no knees bent.
The magistrate's face was even more heavy. He was so shocked that he said, "I'm a brave woman. I don't kneel down when I see my official!"
Xia Yi glanced at the busy shopkeeper Tan, who was sitting on one side, and said with a smile, "magistrate, he didn't kneel down either. Minnv just wanted to ask where you got this stool. Minnv also wanted to sit down."
"How dare you defy the court?"
The magistrate slapped jingtangmu on the case, as if the louder the clapping, the more deterrent it was.
Xia Yi is still light tone, "magistrate adult, I am not a prisoner, according to the law of Xiliang, there is no reason to kneel."
Xia Yi, glancing at shopkeeper Tan, "of course, according to the law, he has no right to sit down. He's the plaintiff, but he's not here to hear your case. Is there any official rank in the court for manager Tan? "
Shopkeeper Tan's feet suddenly stopped.
"..." for a moment, the magistrate stopped and said, "what a smart girl."
The magistrate also sat upright.
He had not heard of Xia Yi before, and knew that she was deeply loved by the emperor.
But he didn't pay attention to it. He thought that Xia Yi was just a little girl who could cook two dishes. It happened that the two dishes were skillfully thought into the emperor's eyes, that's all.
I saw it today, but I didn't expect that Xia Yi understood the law so clearly.
Such people are not easy to fool.
The magistrate had to take a look at the deed sent by manager Tan to calm his mind.
The fingerprints on the deed are certain. No matter how clever Xia Yi is, he can't change this fact.
"Cough..." magistrate adults light cough, way, "first take away the chair of manager Tan."
After that, he said unintentionally: "if you didn't come too late, I wouldn't give you a seat."
Shopkeeper Tan went on as the magistrate said, "thank you, Mr. grassroots. Mr. grassroots is really a good official who loves the people like a son."
When they say this, they seem to forget Tang Ziyuan kneeling beside Xia Yi.
Xia Yi didn't plan to save any face for the magistrate. She said directly, "so chef Tang is not your citizen?"
The common people outside the government office chirped in a low voice, which sounded chaotic.
The magistrate's face changed in an instant. He was shocked and said, "bold."
The sound outside stopped immediately.
Tang Ziyuan was also frightened, and immediately said: "the grass people are willing to kneel."
This is a step for the magistrate.
The magistrate no longer plans to break off these kneeling with Xia Yi. He directly pats the startling wood and says: "rise to the throne."
When the "mighty" voice stopped, the magistrate directly took out the contract of manager Tan and said, "Tang Ziyuan, manager Tan sued you for not keeping the contract and changing the owner at will. Can you plead guilty?"
Tang Ziyuan kowtowed in fear, then said: "the grass people don't recognize it."
"Oh?" The magistrate asked, "what else do you have to say?"
Tang Ziyuan said: "manager Tan's contract is fake. There is also a deed in Caomin's hand. When he left zuishi village some time ago, manager Tan returned it to Xiaomin. "
"Show it up."
When the magistrate said this, he took a casual look in the direction of manager Tan.
Before going to court, shopkeeper Tan told him that the case was a safe one. He never thought that there would be changes.
The official took the deed from Tang Ziyuan.
The magistrate looked at it carefully for a long time before he said, "do you think this is true?"
"Yes."
"You said it was true, too?" The magistrate looked at manager Tan again.
Shopkeeper Tan is also full of confidence, "adult, you can let Tang Ziyuan compare his fingerprints again. Yes, the fingerprints on my copy are really from Tang Ziyuan."
"Somebody, get the pad and the paper." The magistrate ordered.
Before the officers and soldiers got up, Xia Yi said, "don't take it. The fingerprints on manager Tan's contract are really Tang Ziyuan's fingerprints."
Manager Tan couldn't help laughing, "manager Xia, why? It's good to recognize it early. Why bother to go to court? "
Xia Yi said: "don't worry, manager Tan. You can't just listen to half of what you're told."
Xia Yi looked at the magistrate and said, "magistrate, I said that the fingerprint belonged to Tang Ziyuan, but I didn't say that it was true."
"As like as two peas, as like as two peas, you can see that the fingerprints on the two letters are exactly the same. You should have known how difficult it is to print two identical fingerprints."
After the two deeds were sent to the magistrate, the magistrate discovered the problem.
Affectation was as like as two peas, and the next thing the summer palace was, and the next thing the emperor said was "well, it's the same. So, if we say two fingerprints, is it a continuation?"
"My Lord's lesson." Xia Yi nodded.
Seeing that the magistrate agreed with Xia Yi's statement, Tang Ziyuan immediately said, "my Lord, the fingerprint that shopkeeper Tan took is from me."
The magistrate's eyes turned, "poof Chi" laughed, "that's unknown. What if your fingerprints were spread from manager Tan?"
Tang Ziyuan suddenly confused, stretched out his index finger to have a look, "Xiao Min has his own finger, don't do anything more?"
"As like as two peas, you may be too long for the fifty years. The summer shopkeeper will give you more money, and you want to push the contract down, and deliberately expand the same copy, and bite the TAM cabinet. This is a fake, and your fifty year book will have to be cancelled..."
“……”
Xia Yi is speechless.
As soon as she came in, she saw that the magistrate was obviously biased towards manager Tan, but she did not expect that the magistrate would spare no effort.
Not to mention that the magistrate is worthy of being a magistrate. With such a set of wrong ideas, he can barely get along with himself.
If you have to say that, there is no refutation
Tang Ziyuan can't help but paralyze himself. Only then can he understand how important the evidence chain Xia Yi said is. This contract alone is not enough to shake manager Tan.
"Shopkeeper, can you find the rest of the evidence?" Tang Ziyuan asked in a low voice.
Xia Yi shakes her head lightly, "not yet..."
Tang Ziyuan closed his eyes. Is there really no other way?
