Chapter eight hundred and fifty-six lawyers' office opened
Time quickly slipped to the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and Ling Xiao's lawyer's office officially opened. Gu Chunzhu also received the invitation early, and at this time, along with An An and Gu Xiaohu, went to watch the ceremony in a carriage. On the way, they also met Xiaocheng, Wei Xingzhi and others, so they went together.
Ling Xiao is also one of the top lawyers in the capital, and he is very well-known. This time his lawyer's office opened, many people came here, and a circle of people gathered at the door early. Even if there is no lawsuit, it is worthwhile to join in the fun and see a well-known person.
The lively lion dance team has now started to perform, dancing flexibly, blinking lively, and every move shows the aura of a lion. With the sound of gongs and drums, the scene suddenly heated up.
Although there was a crowd of people around the front of the lawyer's office, luckily there was a back side of the house, so the carriage stopped at the back door, allowing people to enter the shop directly from the back door.
The shop has two floors, and the second floor is a place to entertain guests, with many tables and chairs. An An came to the window and sat down, staring intently at the wonderful performance downstairs.
At the end of the performance, it was almost noon, and the two usual firecrackers hanging at the door were also lit. The people around the door covered their ears and pushed them away.
Ling Xiao asked Gu Chunzhu if he wanted to go down to unveil the plaque, but Gu Chunzhu hurriedly refused, so Ling Xiao went down by himself and followed another noble person who was willing to go down.
Ling's Law Firm is officially open for business!
The crowd was also very supportive, applauding and applauding.
Wei Xingzhi stood beside An An and praised, I didn't expect so many people to come to cheer, but I just don't know if someone will come to Ling Xiao as a lawyer.
As soon as Ling Xiao finished speaking, it was said that there was a business at the door. Wei Xingzhi was very surprised and strongly requested to follow along.
So Gu Chunzhu took a few children and went down to watch Ling Xiao handle the case.
Master Ling, you can save my master! The person here is the housekeeper of a wealthy businessman. The wealthy businessman, Master Lin, belongs to the circle of the capital who can't even stir up a splash. Of course he has some money. , but powerless.
Can you talk about the specific situation? Ling Xiao's methodical and calm look really gave the housekeeper a bit of confidence to the dead horse as a living horse doctor.
It turned out that Mr. Lin was accused by the manager at his shop of rape and murdered his concubine. The situation at that time was that Mr. Lin was drunk the night before, and the manager sent him back. But for some unknown reason, the next morning, Mr. Lin was in an inn room, lying with the concubine who was in charge. The most important thing was that the concubine was already dead!
At that time, the steward sent your master home, was there anyone else present? Ling Xiao quickly recorded important time points and events, and drew circles where there were doubts.
The butler recalled, At that time, the steward was eating with the master and a few cooperating businessmen. Those cooperating businessmen should know about it, but no one saw that the steward really sent the master back to the house. I waited at the door all night. I didn't wait for the master.
The other servants in the family haven't seen the master come home?
Yes.
Then I understand. Ling Xiao nodded, wrote down a few words, and then asked, So is there any physical evidence about your master left on the concubine?
When asked about the whole question, the butler's face was pale, and he wanted to cry without tears, This steward's wife is an official's sister, and when she was the steward, she led the officers and soldiers into the inn directly, and before the master recovered, he was immediately arrested. He. Then the steward took the concubine's body directly on the grounds of burial, and now I'm afraid it's buried in the ground.
Destroying the corpse and destroying the traces is indeed a good strategy.
Ling Xiao probably also found it difficult, so he stopped recording and pondered for a while, How about that witness?
The witness has the inn's second child. He said that he saw my master brought his concubine to stay that night, and he didn't go out all night. The butler saw Ling Xiao's appearance, and was a little desperate, so he knelt down to Ling Xiao. , Master Ling, I beg you! Find a way to save my master! He is really innocent!
Ling Xiao avoided the direction where the housekeeper knelt down, with fear in his mouth, holding the housekeeper's arm and trying to pull him up. But the housekeeper insisted on asking Ling Xiao to agree, so he was willing to get up and kowtow.
As soon as Gu Chunzhu heard it, he knew that this was definitely a frame for money, at least, because there was no surveillance in ancient times, it was all based on human sight and oral description, and there were many places that could be manipulated.
I think Yan Guo left a mark. Since the steward didn't send Mr. Lin home, he would definitely meet someone he saw on the way. Little Er might also know the details, but he was bribed. I think you can check it from this direction. Gu Chunzhu couldn't help but made a move.
After Gu Chunzhu's prompt, Ling Xiao clapped his hands, The success of this incident is entirely dependent on the support of the officials. I can't say that I can start with the officials and check the black accounts behind him. If the backing falls, the stewards will naturally have nothing to do.
With that said, Ling Xiao turned around and asked Gu Chunzhu, I wonder if Madam can help me check the official?
Naturally it is possible.
Finally, after discussing the details and asking about the specific trial time, Ling Xiao asked the housekeeper to go back and wait for the news.
If the trial is to take place in seven days, the time will be very tight. I really need the help of the general's wife.
You're welcome. It's a trivial matter, I guess I'll be able to find out the news tomorrow and tell you.
Wei Xingzhi volunteered, I want to see that official.
, how can you be so arrogant, dare to do evil under the eyes of the emperor!
As a result, the official was a small minion under the prince's line. He was originally peaceful, but he couldn't stand the strong wind blowing by the pillow. So the official's sister and the official's wife planned this operation together. They both thought that they were just a small businessman, and they would be sure to catch them. But things are unpredictable, who told them to meet Gu Chunzhu.
Xiao Cheng sneered when he heard the news. Sure enough, the prince was immoral and incompetent, no wonder the grandfather was more willing to take over.
Now that the specific information is known, the next step is to see how Ling Xiao will behave in the yamen, and then turn things around.
On the day of the trial, Gu Chunzhu had no intention of coming, but was harassed by curious An An, Wei Xingzhi and others to come, and finally had to compromise.
Before Ling Xiao entered the yamen, Gu Chunzhu instructed him, This is the first case since your lawyer's office opened, you must show it fully and let the public be impressed by your demeanor. Its popularity and credibility rose rapidly.”
Thank you madam for reminding me, I will pay attention.
Several people watched Ling Xiao enter the yamen and enter the home court where he fought.
