"A female litigation master?"
When Ye Xiaotian heard Tian Miaowen speak of this idea, his expression was no different from Little Miss Ye. His face was also full of astonishment and strangeness.
Register Wang immediately pulled a long face and said unhappily, "If you have the heart to help her, it's not a big deal for Uncle to come forward and speak on her behalf. I believe that the County Magistrate will still give me this face. You're a daughter of a noble family, why do you need to show your face in public? "
Tian Miaowen smiled as if nothing had happened and said, "Uncle, I'm just bored. I know a bit about the law. Seeing that Little Miss Ye is very pitiful, I'll come forward for her once. It's just a matter of time, it's not a big deal."
Register Wang said, "Litigation masters have a very bad reputation for stirring up trouble, inverting black and white, crafting words to defend themselves, and taking advantage of others. You're a daughter of a noble family …"
Tian Miaowen said with a smile that wasn't a smile, "If I were a litigation master as a career, it would be hard to avoid such a reputation. But now, I don't want to take a single cent and only come forward for Little Miss Ye. Once this matter is resolved, there will be no more lawsuits. How would my reputation be ruined? Who knows, it might even be a good story. "
As Tian Miaowen said this, her pair of beautiful eyes slightly looked at Register Wang. That kind of flirtatious expression really had the effect of turning all living things upside down. Register Wang's heart was swayed and he didn't dare to say anything more. The reason why he objected was because he was very clear about Tian Miaowen's plans. But Tian Miaowen had clearly seen through his thoughts, so he didn't dare to say anything more.
The reason why Tian Miaowen had said that she was his niece that day was naturally because Xie Chuanfeng had already sent a message to her, saying that Register Wang had accepted his gift. And Register Wang's defection was a secret transaction. Even if the outside world had some guesses, there was no way to confirm anything.
But today, his "niece" was acting as a litigation master for someone else, going to the county yamen to fight a lawsuit, trying to overturn the county magistrate's ruling. Whose position was this representing?
And the fact that a female litigation master had appeared in Guizhou was bound to cause a sensation. As long as someone seriously investigated the real identity of Tian Miaowen, they would certainly be able to find out. At that time, who wouldn't know that he, Register Wang, had defected to the Tian family?
The Imperial Court would know, and the various chieftains of Guizhou would also know. At that time, he would be completely branded as a member of the Tian family. From then on, he could only clearly stand on the side of the Tian family.
As a pawn of the Tian family, Xu Boyi's performance after taking office was very poor. Of course, Tian Miaowen could abandon this useless chess piece, Xu Boyi. But if she did that, the Tian family's plan to take over Hulu County would be half abandoned. Even if Xie Chuanfeng was there, he wouldn't be able to directly meddle with the government. This kind of foundation wouldn't be solid.
If Register Wang was forced to publicly stand on the Tian family's side, he would clearly declare to the court and the chieftains, "I am a pawn of the Tian family!" He would have no other way out. He had to support the Tian family with all his might. Then, with the addition of Xu Boyi, who was better than nothing, wouldn't the Tian family be able to stand firm?
At this time, Ye Xiaotian still didn't know Tian Miaowen's real identity. He only thought that she was overflowing with sympathy because she was a woman like the Ye family's wife. Even if he knew the real identity of Tian Miaowen, at most, he would only frown.
What does it matter? A small Hulu County, no matter how many demons gather, what does it have to do with him? He only wanted to do his job as an official, marry a good wife, have children, and bring honor to his ancestors. He did not want to get involved with any party, whether it was the Imperial Court or a certain Chieftain. As long as they did not cause trouble for him, it was fine.
A group of people came to the front of the county yamen. Ye Qian timidly looked back. Tian Miaowen gave her an encouraging smile and said: "Go, beat the drum! You are the plaintiff, so you are in the right, why not be bold! "
Ye Qian thought that there were two officials behind her, the county's registrar and the warden behind her. Her courage suddenly rose and she stepped forward to beat the drum!
"Good! You little bitch, you really came to the county yamen! "
A middle-aged man with two moustaches jumped out from the corner and angrily walked towards Ye Qian. Ye Qian just picked up the drumstick. When she saw this person, she was shocked. The drumstick slipped and fell to the ground. She timidly called out: "Gong-gong!"
At this time, another man in his early twenties rushed out from behind the moustache middle-aged man. He had a thin face and a gloating smile on his face. The middle-aged man angrily shouted: "Bring this little bitch back to me!"
The young man in blue immediately rushed forward and reached out to grab Ye Qian's wrist.
"Pa!"
A bamboo folding fan slapped his hand. The blue-robed man raised his head in anger and saw a young man in a white robe standing in front of him. His hair was as black as ink, combed neatly, and he wore a young man's headscarf. His face was powdered, and his lips were painted red. He had a pair of large eyes that were as clear as autumn water, and his chin was sharp and delicate.
Although this person was dressed as a man, his facial features were that of a woman. The man in blue was shocked by her beauty. Then he saw her faint glance. Although she didn't look very dignified, there was a kind of noble and graceful aura. His momentum was weakened by three points. He didn't dare to punch her. Instead, he angrily said: "Who are you? I am bringing my sister-in-law home. How dare you come forward to stop me!"
Tian Miaowen, who was dressed in men's clothing, closed her folding fan and spun it nimbly. With a 'pa' sound, she held it in her hand and lightly said, "Lady Ye has already hired me to be her litigation master. Even if you are her brother-in-law, wait until after the court."
The middle-aged man angrily said: "Litigation master? A woman wearing a man's robe wants to be a litigation master? Bah! Even if you are a litigation master, it is not your turn to be my wife … "
Ye Xiaotian waved his hand as if he was swatting away flies and said: "Take these two noisy things down. Wait for the Master to bring them up."
The bailiffs standing guard in front of the yamen all recognized the registrar and the Warden. Seeing that the two of them were going the same way as the lady from the Ye Family, when the lady from the Ye Family came forward to beat the drum, they didn't even ask anything. At this moment, as soon as they heard Ye Xiaotian's order, the bailiffs immediately rushed over and restrained the father and son.
The bailiff was a little confused. Because Ye Xiaotian and Register Wang were both dressed casually, he didn't know their identity. He quickly explained: "Officers, you have the wrong person. I am Feng Laifu, Feng Lizheng from Erli Fort in the east of the city! Last time when the County Magistrate presided over the water diversion ceremony in the Grand Canyon, I was there with him … "
One of the bailiffs shouted: "Shut up! Those two are this county's Register Wang and Yeh Dianshi. " Feng Laifu was shocked and quickly shut his mouth. His son was screaming and struggling, but when he heard this, he became listless.
Tian Miaowen turned her head and smiled at Ye Xiaotian. She cupped her hands and said: "Thank you!"
Ye Xiaotian smiled: "Miss's thanks is too much. I don't deserve it!"
Tian Miaowen naturally knew that he was insinuating that day when he carried her down the mountain and was pinched by her until his ribs were black and blue. Thinking of how he molested her, she felt humiliated and angry. She snorted coldly in her heart but did not show it on her face. She turned to the lady of the Ye family and said, "Beat the drum!"
As soon as Miss Ye saw her father-in-law and brother-in-law arrive, she was scared out of her wits. When she saw Ye Xiaotian give the order, the bailiffs pounced on them and held them down, her courage grew a little. Hearing Tian Miaowen's words, she bent down to pick up the drumsticks and walked over to the 'Crying Grievance Drum'.
There was a big drum on the drum stand, and there were two wooden signs on the left and right. The wooden signs had red and black words written on them: "False accusation, additional three levels, 50 lashes!" The lady of the Ye family was illiterate, but she did not take the sign seriously. She clenched her teeth, waved the drumstick, and began to beat the drum …
…
In the depths of the forest, there were all kinds of strange trees. Between the towering trees that reached the clouds, there were many old trees that had died of old age. No one knew how many years they had been lying there, quietly rotting. The dead trees were covered with mushrooms and weeds.
Because the air was humid, some of the trees grew huge aerial roots that looked like giant snakes hanging down from the sky. Some of the roots had already touched the ground and deeply penetrated into the ground. Some were entangled together and entangled in the air.
This kind of scene looked very beautiful, but it was also full of danger. The real danger in this kind of place rarely came from the large beasts, because even the large beasts saw this place as a dangerous place. There were many poisonous insects and snakes here. The wet and soft leaves on the ground and the clumps of vines became their best camouflage. Being trapped here, it was very easy to be killed by the snakes and insects hiding in the rotten branches and withered leaves.
However, in this terrifying forest with towering ancient trees that covered the sky and covered the sun, right now there were a few humans like nimble monkeys, between the entangling vines, tangled aerial roots, scattered dead trees, agilely moving along some naturally formed gaps.
From their attire, they were obviously the Miao people who lived deep in the mountains. Only they, would treat this place as their own home, entering and exiting without fear.
A huge ancient tree, the trunk required at least eleven or twelve people holding hands to encircle it. The bark was rough and knotted, lumps everywhere, very easy to climb up. The vitality of this ancient tree was still exuberant, the canopy that stretched out like a canopy, the dense branches and leaves covered the blue sky.
A few saplings jumped onto the roots of the big tree and quickly climbed up. Soon, they reached the top of the tree.
One of the seedlings with extremely good eyesight looked down from above, suddenly pointed to a place and whispered something, the person beside immediately turned his head and looked at the direction he was pointing at. The person who turned his head was Hua Yunfei.
The direction he was looking at was a stretch of lush green, in the deep mountain forest, this kind of scene was very common but Hua Yunfei looked carefully for a while, a smile gradually appeared on his lips.
As the wind swept past the canopy and swayed, he discovered the corners of some buildings, although it was only a piece of eaves or a corner of a courtyard wall but it was enough for him to confirm, this was a larger settlement. Such a place appearing in this deep mountain forest, of course it was the lair of the 'dragon' that they had been searching for all along.
"Finally found it!" Hua Yunfei joyfully muttered to himself, the two hundred and eighty of them, divided into forty small teams, scattered into the vast forest sea, painstakingly searching for all traces of human existence, and finally found a dragon's lair.
Hua Yunfei suppressed his excitement and ordered, "Spread out and find out the situation around their lair. Two hours later, meet back here again."
At this time, a gust of wind blew the tree, looking down from the top of the tree, they could vaguely see a group of people in the distant forest rushing towards Long Lingyun's lair. Hua Yunfei immediately shouted in a low voice, "Be careful, don't beat the grass and alert the snake!"
At this time, the group of people was too far away, Hua Yunfei did not notice that the person walking in front of the group was blindfolded, walking with the support of two people on his left and right. Even if he saw it, he would not recognize this person, but if Tycoon was here, he would definitely find it very strange, "Why is our Old Ding here?"
