After hearing this, Zhou Chen rolled his eyes and said, "The young lady has made it so clear, but you don't understand. I'm really curious, how did you have the courage to come here and bully the master in the first place?"

Pei Wenlang and others: "..."

Zhou Chen said: "Sue the official. Is he the only one who knows how to sue?"

Pei Wenlang said with a smile: "Steward Zhou, can you explain it more clearly?"

Zhou Shen said: "The young lady tells you that family matters are handled internally by the Weiwu Marquis Mansion. Although you stole the things in the first place, you only need to return the things. If the Weiwu Marquis Mansion does not pursue the case, the government will not pursue it either!"

"But that old bastard Pei Song refused to give it back!" They also felt a little guilty. They were the ones who gave it away, not Pei Song who snatched it from them.

Zhou Chen sneered lightly: "Do you think too highly of yourself? Do you have the qualifications to give away the things given by the emperor? You clearly just lent them to him for fun, but he wanted to keep them as his own, saying that you gave them to him."

Pei Wenlang and others were enlightened. Yes, he, Pei Song, was the only one who sued his mother-in-law.

Zhou Chen reminded again: "Your work in the government during this period has paid off for you, so don't be reluctant to give up money. Find someone more powerful to write the complaint, and then hire a good lawyer. Are you afraid that you won't win the lawsuit?"

It's been a long time and there are so many people. If we have to put them all together, it's okay to put together just thirty or fifty taels.

Although Pei Wenlang and others feel pain, what else can they do now?

At this time, Zhou Chen said again: "However, Pei Song has already filed a complaint. People from the government will probably come to you soon. It's too late for you to look for him now."

As soon as these words came out, they were still feeling sorry for Yin Zi, but instantly they felt a sense of urgency and their expressions changed.

Zhou Chen continued slowly and calmly: "However, I am a kind-hearted old man. When I heard that Pei Song sued you, I knew that you needed a complaint, so I wrote one for you."

He took out a square sheet of paper.

Pei Wenlang took it, and what was written on it was almost the same as what Zhou Chen had just said to them.

Pei Wenlang said happily: "Wonderful!"

The brothers circulated it, and everyone looked happy. With this complaint, they felt more confident.

Zhou Chen stretched out his hand: "Chenghui, five taels of silver!"

They were surprised: "What, you want more silver? You want five taels?"

Among their brothers, including their sons, nephews, and so many others, their monthly income is only five taels of silver!

Zhou Chen was even more surprised: "Old man, this is my hard work, and you actually want to take it for nothing. Forget it, come back, and ask Gao Ming to go!" He snatched it with his hands and put the paper into his arms.

Several people quickly said good things.

Zhou Chen was unmoved and said: "I understand that you don't want to pay for the money, but you get what you pay for. If you want this, you can't pay less than five taels of silver or a penny. Well, the goods that don't want to pay for the money are here, just

Consider my friendship supportive." As he said that, he took out another square piece of paper folded from his sleeve.

Several people circulated it, with expressions of constipation on their faces. If they could just write it themselves, it would be better than this!

Not to mention that I have seen good ones, but how can I think of ordinary ones? Even if I don’t have time, I don’t have time to find someone else.

Pei Wenlang pulled them over and stretched out his hand: "Collect some money!"

Zhou Chen was very satisfied with the five taels of silver he received, and so were they.

As soon as I got the complaint in hand, the porter came over and reported: "Dusi Yamen sent someone to summon the people named Pei in the servants' room!"

Pei Wenlang and the others were very angry when they heard this before. What do you mean by the servants with the surname Pei?

But reality is stronger than people, and now they have accepted this title well!

Zhou Chen said with a smile: "With this lawsuit in hand, you already have a 50% chance of winning. If you find a good lawyer, you will definitely win! However, you don't have time to find a lawyer, what a pity!"

When Pei Wenlang and others heard the few words summoned by Dusi Yamen, they felt a natural fear. Zhou Chen's first words made them calm down for a while, but the next half of the sentence drove them into the ground again.

Pei Wenlang immediately grabbed Zhou Chen's hand: "Butler Zhou, help us!"

Others also realized that they were all sued by Pei Song, so they didn't have time to invite them, but housekeeper Zhou had time this week.

Zhou Chen said with a smile: "Are your calculations too loud? Do you want to hire a lawyer for free? Are you asking me for help in vain, but I still have to pay for it out of my own pocket?"

Pei Wenlang and others hurriedly said: "We will pay, we will pay."

Zhou Chen touched the short beard on his chin and said: "If you hire an average one, it will definitely be difficult to win. If you hire a better one, you may not be able to win. If you hire a sure-winner, you will definitely win. What specifications do you want?

of?"

"The one who will win, the one who will win!" Is there any need to ask?

Zhou Chen said with a smile: "According to the current market price, an average of five taels of silver, a slightly better one of twenty taels, and a sure win of fifty taels!"

When the price was reported, they almost persuaded them to leave, but before they could say anything, they saw a few people over there wearing the uniforms of Dusi Yamen's squad leaders, led by a servant, heading this way.

Pei Wenlang was so anxious that he couldn't care less, and stretched out his hand again: "What are you still doing? Come together, twenty-five cents per person, hurry up, we don't have enough time."

They are all heads of a family, and all their sons' monthly income comes from their father. However, as they have more sons, the amount of money they save will naturally increase.

Pei Linxuan and his son had the smallest number of people, and only had twelve or three coins in their hands.

Pei Jinchu took out two taels of money to make up for it, but also said: "Remember to pay me back in the future!"

I was in a hurry to collect the money, but fortunately I finally got fifty taels.

However, the wallets of the four Pei Wenlang brothers were suddenly empty. This was the monthly income earned by working as servants in the Weiwu Marquis Mansion for nearly a year, and it was so empty.

They hated Pei Song even more in their hearts!

At the same time, he placed all his hopes on Zhou Chen: "Steward Zhou, you must find someone who will win!"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it!"

The team leader of Dusi Yamen had already approached. Zhou Chen greeted him with a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

Those people were quite polite. After all, even if the Weiwu Marquis Mansion doesn't even have a marquis now, it's not something they can compare to the head of the Dusi Yamen.

Pei Wenlang and others followed the squad leader "reluctantly" to leave.

Zhou Chen looked at them and made a gesture of handing out a complaint with both hands, reminding them not to forget to file a complaint!

After everyone left, Zhou Chen went to Danyi Garden and reported in a very good mood: "Miss, the complaint has been given to them. In addition, the money is here. This is the money for the complaint. This is what they want to entrust to the old slave."

Help them get money from lawyers!"

Naturally, Zhou Chen did not write the complaint, but the young lady wrote it casually and asked him to copy it.

Mu Qingyu smiled and said: "Uncle Zhou is holding this money. After all, Grandpa Zhou also wants to help them hire a "winner" lawyer, so his efforts cannot be in vain!"

Zhou Chen said happily: "The young lady is really good at predicting things. She knew that Pei Song would not be returned and she would go to the officials to file a lawsuit. She even prepared the complaint for them early!"

Mu Qingyu curled her lips, with unspeakable mockery in her tone: "Greedy people will covet what they haven't got, let alone what they have already got?"

She always had the whole family under surveillance.

But surprisingly, no one from Shanyang House contacted them.

Two of Pei Song's great-grandsons have the word Kang in their names. I don't know which Kang'er Zhao Xitai was referring to at the beginning? Or maybe it's neither of them?

Or are they worried about being seen and arousing suspicion, so not only did they not take them to live in their house, let them stay in an inn, but they also did not let anyone contact them? In order to act like they were strangers to each other?

She said to Zhou Chen: "Grandpa Zhou will have to worry about the next thing!"

"Little miss, please don't be polite to this old slave. Only with you here can we live a human life. How happy this old slave can be if he can do something with his old bones!"

There is genuine gratitude in his eyes!

Mu Qingyu understands their thoughts. Like Zhou Chen and others, what they fear most is not the hard work, but the fear that they will be useless and become old and useless waste.

Pei Song didn't want to return those things, but Mu Qingyu didn't take it to heart.

However, when Pei Wenlang and others handed the complaint to Du Si, Du Si was stunned for a moment.

The thing given by the emperor was lent to the other party to admire and bless him, but it was actually taken as his own. Not only did he refuse to return it, but he even raked it over?

Although this thing sounds unreliable and seems absurd no matter how you look at it, the nature of it is serious when it concerns a gift from the emperor.

However, the other party sued first, and they sued later, each holding their own opinions. As for the facts, they must be interrogated first.

In the lobby, Pei Song and his son confronted Pei Wenlang and his brothers.

This West City Dusi feels particularly unlucky. The Weiwu Marquis Mansion is in Dongcheng. It is a matter under the jurisdiction of Dongcheng. Are these people sick and want to complain to his West City Dusi?

Let him take a look at the situation. If it is easy to break, just break it. If it is troublesome, just pack it up and send it back to Dongcheng Dusi to make him bald.

The capital of Xicheng was shocked: "Pei Song and his son are here!"

"The villain is here!"

"You are suing the four Pei Wenlang brothers for disturbing the people, creating quarrels and spreading rumors, and ruining your reputation, right or wrong?"

"Sir, yes!"

"Where are brothers Pei Wenlang!"

"The villain is here!"

"Is what Pei Song and his son said true?"

Pei Wenlang hurriedly said: "Sir, the four villain brothers are not provocative and spreading rumors. More than ten years ago, the Weiwu Marquis Mansion offended an enemy and was violently suppressed by him. The then head of the family, Pei Ji, failed to preserve the things left by his ancestors, so I

When the brothers pretend to have broken with the master's family, each of them will take some of it back to his hometown and keep it for safekeeping until the Mighty Marquis Mansion can revive the family reputation."

"You're talking nonsense!" Pei Zeyong couldn't help but retort!
