Chapter 72 The lawsuit
Yang Ning just stared at Dou Lianzhong coldly, which made Dou Lianzhong feel uncomfortable all over. He could only say, "Since I broke it, it's okay to accompany you, but...!" He carefully said, "But how much silver this glass horse is worth, the prince knows in his heart?"
"Silver?" Yang Ning smiled disdainfully, "Young Master Dou, do you think my dignified marquis's mansion lacks some money for you?"
Dou Lianzhong's face was slightly dark, and he said lightly: "Criminal, if you say this, I have nothing to say. Whatever you want, just give me a message, no need for mother-in-law and mother." He sneered and said: "To be honest, you are boasting about yourself here. You are just a glass horse that you say is a family heirloom. Who can know whether it is true or false?"
"Is Mr. Dou planning to cheat?" Yang Ning also sneered, "It's a pity that your trick is not easy to use in my Marquis of Jinyi's Mansion."
Dou Lianzhong said: "Actually, we don't have to argue. I, Dou Lianzhong, are a reasonable person. Since you say that this glass horse is magical, we can tell the truth by looking for a few masters who know how to appraise treasures carefully."
"According to you, a great scholar who is talented and knowledgeable about the past and the present will be able to tell what he knows after he dies, just by looking at his body?" Yang Ning said coldly: "The glass horse is intact, which is naturally extremely magical, but now that you have smashed it, what else can you see?"
Dou Lianzhong looked ugly, but Zhao Xin approached next to him and whispered in Dou Lianzhong's ear. Dou Lianzhong immediately said: "If it is really a family heirloom, Dou will naturally compensate, but if you are talking nonsense, Dou will not let anyone cheat." He glanced at the fragments of the Liulima horse and said: "It is useless to argue here. We must distinguish it. We can go to Kyoto Prefecture now."
"Kyoto Mansion?" Yang Ning smiled and said, "Young Master Dou is preparing to meet the official?"
Dou Lianzhong said: "No, you must meet the official."
"Okay." Yang Ning didn't hesitate, "Even if you go to the Golden Palace, you can't even blame me for destroying my heirloom treasure. I will accompany you to Kyoto Prefecture now."
Dou Lianzhong knew that if he was entangled in the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion, he would definitely not be able to make any mistakes. He left Kyoto Mansion first, and there would always be room for relief.
Zhao Xin couldn't help but say, "Then we are the ones who vote..."
"What's the matter?" Yang Ning said angrily: "I'm a family heirloom treasure, not to mention your little money, it's more than ten times more, and you won't lose money."
Dou Lianzhong felt cold and thought to himself that this kid was really mean, and even wanted to ask for huge compensation for a broken horse. Since that is the case, he had to go to Kyoto Prefecture to argue clearly no matter what.
As the name suggests, Kyoto Prefecture is a government office in the capital. Cases in the capital, especially such civil disputes, are mostly handled in Kyoto Prefecture. In addition, Kyoto Prefecture also takes into account the security of the capital.
The Kyoto Prefecture belongs to the Ministry of Justice, so the Kyoto Prefecture often selects officials from the Ministry of Justice to serve as the position.
When Dou Lianzhong and Yang Ning arrived at Kyoto Prefecture, they had not yet arrived at the lunch entrance. Their identities were special. When they learned that the two noble men had sued for a lawsuit, the yamen runner hurriedly entered the prefecture to report.
Although Kyoto Prefecture handles many cases every month, cases like today are indeed rare.
There are many princes and nobles in the capital, and there are many high-ranking officials and important officials, so there are many noble children from wealthy families. In this capital, it is inevitable that they will form cliques and conflicts with each other. However, even if there is a conflict, they will often be resolved privately, rarely move to the table, and rarely sue.
If it were Qi Jing's life, Dou Lianzhong would have given him ten courage, and he would not dare to find trouble with the Marquis of Jinyi's Mansion, let alone make trouble with Prince Jinyi's Mansion in Kyoto Mansion.
However, the situation is different now. Qi Jing has passed away, and Dou Lianzhong also suspected that Yang Ningshi would cheat him to death, so he could only go to the Kyoto Mansion to sue. When he left the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion, he even whispered a few words to Zhao Xin. After Zhao Xin left the mansion, he immediately left alone and did not come to Kyoto Mansion with Dou Lianzhong.
Soon, the two were invited into the Kyoto Mansion. Originally, Zhao Wushang and other guards who followed Yang Ning could not enter, but Yang Ning claimed that Zhao Wushang was a witness. Although the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion was not as good as before, the thin camel was bigger than a horse, and the Kyoto Mansion Office did not dare to offend Zhao Wushang and let Zhao Wushang in.
The yamen did not take the three of them to the lobby of Kyoto Prefecture, but led the three of them to the side hall of Kyoto Prefecture. After sitting down, Dou Lianzhong sneered: "Qinning, you are the heir of Jinyi Marquis. Both generations of Jinyi Marquis are upright. I didn't expect that you are a kid who dared to use these despicable means. The reputation of this Jinyi Marquis will always be ruined by you."
"First, you, Dou Lianzhong, have nothing to do with integrity, so you are not qualified to comment on how others do things." The two of you have broken up, and Yang Ning is not polite. "Second, you not only have no regrets in destroying the family heirloom of the Marquis of Jinyi's Mansion, but you have not regretted it at all, but have falsely accused this prince of designing to harm others and want to cheat and escape responsibility. With this, you can imagine your Dou Lianzhong's character."
"We don't have to argue." Dou Lianzhong sneered: "You just don't know what kind of person the prefect of Kyoto is."
Yang Ning turned his head and looked at Zhao Wushang standing beside him. Zhao Wushang had already said: "Kyoto Prefecture Lord Mo is also the left minister of the Ministry of Justice. He is selfless and judges the case as if he is a god, so he is nicknamed 'Mo Tieduan'!"
He always spoke in a simple and neat way, and explained the background and temperament of the Kyoto prefect in just a few words.
Dou Lianzhong smiled and said, "It's good to know. This Lord Mo was famous when he was in the Ministry of Justice. He entered the Ministry of Justice in his twenties and was unique. Over the years, the cases handed over to him have been clearly cut off. Qi Ning, whether your glass horse is a crude inferior product or a family heirloom, Lord Mo will naturally know clearly."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a shout from outside: "Go to the hall!"
Then four yamen soldiers holding powerful killing sticks came out one after another. After entering the door, they separated from each other. Then the four yamen soldiers shouted in unison: "Please go to the hall!" Then the yamen soldiers knocked on the ground, making a "da" sound. Although there were not many people, they seemed solemn and solemn.
Then he saw a man walking into the outside, wearing a black official uniform, about forty years old, and his face was much whiter than that of ordinary people, but he was not the normal white, without blood, and looked a little pale, with a face with a Chinese character, thick eyebrows and big eyes, but his expression was very serious, and he had a momentum of being arrogant without anger.
Yang Ning knew that this person should be the prefect of Kyoto, Lord Mo, and behind Lord Mo, there was an official holding the file.
After entering the door, the official Mo did not look at Yang Ning and Dou Lianzhong, who were sitting on both sides of the left and right, walked straight to the main seat and turned to sit down. The official walked to the table beside him, skillfully arranged the pen, ink, paper and ink, holding the wolf's hair in his hand, dipped it in ink, and then waited and said nothing.
The Supreme Court of Mo coughed and then looked around. Yang Ning and Dou Lianzhong also stood up and bowed to the Supreme Court of Mo. Dou Lianzhong was about to speak, but the Supreme Court of Mo was already the first to say: "We should have tried the case in the lobby, but we should be promoted to the court here. Before I tried the case, I will only ask, do you really want to sue here? If you regret it, I can terminate the trial now, otherwise the lawsuit will be recorded in the next lawsuit." He raised his hand and pointed at the official, "The Literature Office will record every word you and the official said on the case."
Dou Lianzhong glanced at Yang Ning and smiled coldly, but he was a little afraid of the Supreme Court Mo, and bowed: "After the words of the great master, the Prince of Jinyi Qi Ning set up a trap to trap the younger generation, younger generation...!"
The Prime Minister Mo said, "Don't call himself a junior. There is no distinction between seniors and juniors here. You just need to call yourself a name." He also said, "Don't easily convict others before I make a judgment. If you say that Qining sets up a trap, you must provide sufficient evidence, otherwise you will be slandered and I will never allow it."
Dou Lianzhong was stunned and said a little embarrassedly: "Late... Dou Lianzhong knows!"
The Supreme Court of Mo nodded slightly, and then said to Yang Ning: "Qinning, you two are here to sue. Who is the defendant?"
The two of them pointed at each other at the same time, "I want to sue him!"
The Supreme Court of Mo frowned and said in a deep voice: "What the hell are you doing?" He pointed at Dou Lianzhong, "You should tell me the whole story in detail first. Qi Ning, don't interrupt until he finishes talking!"
Dou Lianzhong immediately spoke in detail about what had happened before, and finally said: "Mr. Mo, Qi Ning was deliberately designed and designed. He said that a glass horse that was worthless was called a family heirloom. He also said that he could see life and death. It was simply nonsense."
Gong Gong Mo said lightly: "You finished speaking?"
Dou Lianzhong wanted to add a few more words, but seeing that the Mo Fu Yin looked cold, he could only nod. Mo Fu Yin turned to Qi Ning and asked, "Is what Dou Lianzhong said the truth?"
"After the words of the master, what he said before is not bad." Yang Ning said: "Last night, the pawnshop was burned. Dou Lianzhong immediately went to the fire scene and was eager to redeem it. He rushed to the Marquis' Mansion early this morning to ask for compensation. Originally, I asked them to wait in the main hall, but Dou Lianzhong went to find me by himself, and took the initiative to see the family heirloom treasure of the Marquis' Mansion. In order to see the magic, he went out with a glass horse. He accidentally broke the glass horse. It was a peerless treasure passed down from generation to generation by my Marquis' Mansion. He was destroyed by him. Not only did he not regret it, he also slandered me for being a trap...!" He smiled bitterly: "I don't know what to do, so I can only ask Lord Mo to make the decision."
Dou Lianzhong sneered: "Are you still pretending? Lord Mo's eyes are like torches. Whether it is true or false, you can see through it at a glance."
"I already knew about the fire last night." Mo Fu Yin said: "Your Marquis' Mansion also sent someone to report the case. I also sent someone to investigate the case in the morning." He gently stroked his beard, "Qinning, did you bring your heirloom?"
"Bring it." Yang Ning looked at Zhao Wushang, who took the package and brought it forward, opened it, and contained fragments of glazed horses.
Gong Yin Mo took a piece in his hand, took a look, and said lightly: "This glass is poorly made. Judging from the material alone, it is indeed not a valuable treasure."
