Qinghe County Wang sat quietly in the study for a while, and then he called the housekeeper and told him, "Keep an eye on madam, don't let her make any mistakes. Also tell her, don't let Rou'er stay in the temple for the rest of her life because of her impulsiveness, or it will be too late to regret."

    Except for Qinghe County Wangfei who wanted to take the opportunity to trouble Jiang Lin, there were others who were also not idle.

    Early in the morning, before Wei Yunzhao went out to the Ministry of War, a few servants from the Wei family suddenly came. They said that someone had sued Jiang Lin, and the governor asked him to go to the yamen for questioning.

    Speaking of the governor of Shengjing, this was the third one this year, and the second prince took the responsibility for the rebellion without involving other people. But Emperor Changde still dismissed and demoted many people by taking advantage of the hundreds of lives in the quarry.

    The former governor of Shengjing, Zhao Shichuan, was the first to bear the brunt, so the current governor of Shengjing had changed again, but it was not other official, it was Yin Ji was temporarily acting as governor, which could be regarded as a reward for his investigation of the quarry case.

    Although it was possible for Yin Ji himself didn't want this reward.

    Jiang Lin himself was also a little confused, and asked Wei Yunzhao, "It can't be that those ministers took things too hard and then ran to the government office to sue me, right?"

    Wei Yunzhao shook his head, "It shouldn't be them, if these people want to sue you, they will directly hand over shentang to the emperor, instead of going to the government office."

    "What's the matter, I haven't committed any crime recently?"

    Wei Yunzhao smiled when he heard this, "Madam's words sound very self-aware, and these words are used very well recently. "

    Jiang Lin pushed him to the gate, "Hey, this is not a criminal record, I just said that out of caution."

    After meeting someone and hearing what the other person said, Jiang Lin felt that he was still not cautious enough, he should use these two days to draw a distinction.

    The person who sued him turned out to be Ren Denggao, Jiang Lin thought, even if he discounted Ren Denggao's legs, it should be better after more than a month.

    wasn't it too late to sue him now?

    But no matter what, Jiang Lin had to go to the government office.

    Wei Yunzhao asked him, "Do you want me to accompany you?"

    Jiang Lin shook his head, "No, you go and do your work, I will go to the government office to make my words clear and come back by myself."

    Jiang Lin was still very relaxed. He, Zhou Chengwang and Du Yuling hit Ren Denggao ruthlessly, but they paid particular attention to the positions they hit. Even if Ren Denggao was really hurt, the doctor wouldn't say that he had multiple injuries.

    And after such a long time, even if there were traces, they would almost disappear.

    When he arrived at the government office, Jiang Lin saw Ren Denggao. He took a look, turned around and left, and then he said, "Touching the porcelain, this touching the porcelain is really serious, this matter has nothing to do with me!"
[碰瓷 (pèng cí): touching the porcelain, it  refers to a behavior or trick when someone pretends to be knocked down so he can ask for money.]

    Yin Ji asked someone to stop him, he slapped the gavel gave heavily: "Jiang Lin, Ren Denggao is suing you for beating him and seriously injuring him like this, do you have anything to say?"

    Jiang Lin cupped his hands and said to Yin Ji: "My lord, I say that his injuries have nothing to do with me. Do you believe it?"

    Ren Denggao looked very miserable, his body was bandaged like a silkworm chrysalis, his face was swollen like a pig's head, and there was no good skin in his body. It even made Jiang Lin curious, who on earth hated this guy more than him, and made such a heavy hand.

    "But Ren Denggao said that you brought people to his house last night and beat him into such a state, and there are even families and neighbors who can be the witness. How do you explain it?"

    Jiang Lin pointed at Ren Denggao in disbelief: "He is already like this, can he still speak?"

    Yin Ji: "..."

    "The servant will talk on his behalf."

    "Oh," Jiang Lin said with a cold face, " I didn't do it, I was too busy kissing my husband last night, and I don't have time to play this kind of thing, he doesn't deserve it!"

    Yin Ji coughed, "Cough, talk carefully."

    Jiang Lin spread his hands, his whole face was innocent.

    Yin Ji asked, "You were in your mansion last night, who could testify for you?"

    Jiang Lin replied, "Everyone in the Wei mansion can testify ror me."

    As soon as Jiang Lin finished speaking, Ren Denggao blinked frantically at his servant and hinted at him, and the servant then refuted Jiang Lin's words, "You are the master, and all the servants of the Wei family will listen to you, so of course they will say whatever you want them to say, and they can't be used as witnesses. "

    Jiang Lin was amused by what he said, "Why, your Ren family's servants can testify that I beat Ren Denggao, and my servants from the Wei family can't testify for me that I didn't leave the mansion last night, have you thought about it before you speak?"

    The servant was stunned for a moment, then he stretched his neck and said: "I, my young master and the neighbors can testify."

    "Oh, let's call those neighbors, and we will confront each other on the spot."

    Yin Ji had been handling cases for many years, and he could see the problems at a glance. Jiang Lin's attitude was magnanimous and there was not the slightest bit of fear. It really didn't look like he was the one who did it.

    On the Ren family's side, Ren Denggao couldn't speak and the servant spoke on his behalf, so it was difficult to gain the upper hand in terms of refutation.

    After Jiang Lin finished speaking, Yin Ji announced on the spot that the witnesses would be brought in, and he  also ordered people to summon the Wei family.
