Shen Ruyi saluted and said directly: "My name is Shen Ruyi. I am suing the Guining Marquis Mansion for sending someone to kill me. The evidence is these eight servants of the Guining Marquis Mansion and the token."

"When did it happen? Where?"

"More than an hour ago, on the way into the city."

"Are there any other witnesses?"

"No, there are only two of us. Who would choose to kill and rob in a crowded place? This is like an old man hanging himself because he wants to die."

"Call the other parties involved."

Soon, Yiren assisted the officers in carrying the eight parties in and threw them on the ground.

These men had already turned pale with pain, and now they were thrown to the ground without any care. When their short legs touched the ground, it was so painful that they gasped and almost fainted on the spot.

Lord Dong's eyelids twitched as he looked at the eight disabled men. This guy was really ruthless.

Yiren also presented the token.

Lord Dong slammed the gavel and asked them directly: "Young Master Shen, is the accusation of murder against you true? Who are you following?"

These people were forced to sit up by the yamen runners. They were in so much pain that they had no time to reply. They only came to their senses after Lord Dong slammed the gavel once more.

After looking at the young prince sitting in the upper seat on the side and the other young masters standing nearby watching the fun, they were completely despairing.

They are familiar with these people. They were all former street fighters and they cannot afford to offend them.

One of them spoke first. He just wanted to get it over with. This was too much suffering. He just told the truth directly:

"Your Excellency, we don't want to kill the young master, we just want him to come with us. Our Lord didn't ask for killing, he just wanted to ask the young master to come with us."

Seeing this, the others nodded their heads, thinking that the crime of kidnapping was certainly less serious than the crime of murder, and said, "Yes, we don't want to kill them, we just want to invite them to our house as guests."

Shen Ruyi directly replied: "You invited someone to be your guest, ambushed him halfway, and even attacked him with a knife. Isn't your way of inviting people unique?"

"Hahaha, I'm almost dying of laughter." Several young masters who were not afraid of trouble started laughing without caring about the occasion.

"Really? We don't want to kill you. We just want to scare you. We just want you to come with us."

Mr. Dong was about to take over and continue the interrogation, but Shen Ruyi spoke first:

"Don't try to whitewash yourself. Are you trying to scare people? Who would believe you if you were to play around with a sword on someone's way? And where are you going to take me?"

These people fell silent again.

Master Dong said directly: "Come here, go and invite the Marquis of Guining Marquis' Mansion."

"Yes."

After Lord Dong gave the order, he realized that this matter was extremely tricky, so he just let the two parties below quarrel and drag it out as long as possible.

Shen Ruyi continued: "Why don't you say anything? Where are you inviting me to go? If this can still be considered a joke, I will take it seriously.

From now on, I will come to play with you in Guining Marquis Mansion every few days. Please don't mind it when the time comes. Everyone present here today must help me bear witness. I am a person of little influence and I am afraid that others will refuse to pay the debt."

"Don't worry, we will all testify for you."

"Yes, we are all witnesses, just go ahead and do it."

"Little Black Charcoal, just do your job with confidence. I'll support you."

The court session instantly turned into a vegetable market, bustling and noisy.

The crowd gathered outside the government office did not decrease at all, but instead grew larger and larger.

They also wanted to see if ordinary people could bring a lawsuit against the Marquisate. The key point was that they were also witnesses in this case, and they had accompanied the defendant all the way, and the defendant was still a child.

They had to help, lest they be bullied. It felt like they were not just helping the other person, but more like helping millions of ordinary people like them.

Just when they were planning to punish these people, someone confessed directly that their Lordship had taken a fancy to the money in the Shen Mansion and wanted to borrow some to spend.

"Borrow money? That's a very elegant way of saying it. I want to borrow the title of Marquis of Guining Mansion to do something. Is that possible?"

Several young masters started to make a noise again: "Of course we can borrow it, there's nothing wrong with that."

Soon the Marquis of Guining's Mansion arrived with a sullen face. He didn't look very good, but he was quite tall and looked very sturdy.

As soon as he arrived, he greeted Lord Dong and the young prince, then arrogantly found a seat and sat down.

When asked, they said that these people looked familiar and seemed to be from their Marquis' Mansion, but he did not give this order.

He said he didn't know. The mansion was so big and there were so many things to do, so he didn't have time to care about these little things.

Then a butler came out and took responsibility for the matter.

Lord Dong quickly judged the case and made a direct determination.

Knowing this would happen, Shen Ruyi didn't even think about doing anything to the other party. She just wanted to make a big deal out of this, disgust the other party, and bring the matter to the surface.

The real revenge had to be taken in private. She liked to take revenge in her own way.

If such a marquisate could be convicted so easily and fall so quickly, then it would no longer be called a marquisate.

And this Mr. Dong, he is obviously a fence-sitter who no one wants to offend, he has no integrity at all.

Of course, we can’t say that what people do is necessarily wrong. This is the way the world is, and this is how people deal with things.

But Shen Ruyi just couldn't appreciate it.

It seemed that she had to keep her distance from this aunt who had a good temper and personality, and she had to be prepared to break off the friendship at any time.

Shen Ruyi pretended to be sad, endured it, and reluctantly accepted the matter.

The young prince refused to accept the decision and wanted to put pressure on the other party, but Shen Ruyi stopped him with a look and he finally shut up.

Then he thought, this is not the little black charcoal he knew. Is he willing to suffer a loss? He just couldn't believe it. There must be another trick.

So he persuaded the other young masters who were ready to cause trouble to stop.

The Marquis of Guining Marquisate looked like he was wasting his time and was very arrogant. He just walked away with a swagger.

As soon as Shen Ruyi walked out of the yamen, she started crying silently, with tears streaming down her face. She said nothing, just cried silently.

The crowds watching outside were heartbroken. In the end, they didn't win. It's so difficult for ordinary people.

"I knew it would be like this. Officials protect each other."

"Who says it's not true? It's a case with such solid evidence, and he is not in trouble at all."

"You dog officials, you dog officials, they don't give the people a way to live."

"I don't believe that there is no law in this huge capital. Let's go and beat the drum to file a complaint with the emperor."

"Yes, let's go and file a complaint with the emperor. Let's file a complaint with the emperor."

Everyone started shouting in indignation.
