Chapter 265: Sue
Ye Song was driven out by Ye Chunqiu, and his heart was furious, so he had to go to find his friends. In the evening, he went to Deng Juren's house to visit him, but heard that Deng Juren had gone to the tea shop to have tea, so he had to turn to the tea shop that Deng Juren was usually familiar with. Sure enough, he saw Deng Juren leaning against the window and waving the fan alone. When he saw Ye Song, he called, "Brother Ye."
Ye Song came over with a frustration, but instead Deng Juren said with a smile: "What's wrong with Brother Ye? Didn't you say you would go to your elder brother to borrow money?"
Ye Song sat down and ordered a few snacks. Ye Song couldn't help but say distressedly: "My nephew is really hateful, ha... he actually ignored the relationship between uncle and nephew. If it weren't for his bad things..."
When Juren Deng heard this, he realized it. He was so happy that he said: "You are talking about Ye Chunqiu? Oh, Brother Ye, I have seen this person at the beginning. He hates him very much, but he is lucky. Now he not only understands Yuan, but also has a great reputation. Brother Ye, it is not easy for you to deal with him? Since he doesn't know the truth, he just goes to the yamen to sue him..."
Ye Song was stunned for a moment and said, "Secretary? He is a juren, what is my identity? I am afraid that the government will not be able to win the lawsuit. Besides, once the lawsuit is filed, the uncle and nephew cause trouble, how can I go home in the future? If my father knows this, he will have to break my leg..."
However, Juren Deng was still laughing: "I said it long ago, it's up to you to have a wealth. Now this wealth is right in front of you."
Ye Song seemed a little angry, but did not dare to be rude to Juren Deng. He could only hold it in his anger and said lazily: "Where is wealth and honor? Now it is the clay Buddha who crosses the river, and he cannot protect himself."
Juren Deng shook his head: "Brother Ye, you are really not smart. Think about it carefully. Even if Ye Chunqiu did not lose in a lawsuit, did he win?"
Ye Song was stunned for a moment and thought hard: "But that government..."
Deng Juren shook his fan and sipped the tea ceremony: "You, why don't you understand at all? Even if the government wants to settle the matter, in fact, Ye Chunqiu, who loses in this lawsuit, he is a Juren, and he is very famous. Think about it, what will others say when this lawsuit is spread? These rumors have been spread by rumors. At that time, his reputation must be bad. Once Ye Chunqiu is bad, even if he has talent, he will be able to be bad in the future.
Is there any future? You are his uncle. As long as the lawsuit is fought, if you cannot turn big things into small things, the worse is still to come. Why won’t Brother Ye understand? At that time, Brother Ye will hold this handle, and Ye Chunqiu and his son will definitely be eager to reconcile in private. At that time, even if Brother Ye opens his mouth, how dare they not respond? From now on, their money will be Ye Xiandi’s money treasury? Let you take it, what can they do?"
This analysis made Ye Song cheer up. Now that he thought about it carefully, this is really the case. He couldn't help but say, "I really want to fight this lawsuit? How much money can I get after the fight?"
Juren Deng waved his fan and felt the cool breeze, but he smiled: "It's not appropriate to go now; after the lawsuit is over, you are not in a hurry. Let them suffer for a few days first. Brother Ye will be living in Yichunyuan for the time being. Well, if the money is not enough, the account will be mine. After a few days, we will go find him."
Ye Song said gratefully: "Ye is really short of money now. Brother Deng is anxious about his loyalty. I have received this favor. But... how much money should I ask for."
This Juren Deng is the most vengeful person. Ye Chunqiu almost made him lose his fame. Now, he still feels scared when he thinks about it. Later, seeing that Ye Chunqiu is becoming more and more proud, he feels even more jealous.
He looked at Ye Song coldly and said without hesitation: "Please take 300 taels for pocket use first. This killing requires a soft knife, and you cannot fish out the water. If you stab someone to death with one knife, what do you eat? As for this blood, it will naturally be interesting to release it slowly. Today, three hundred, and in a few days, Isn't that good to ask for another five or six hundred taels?"
Ye Song smiled happily and kept saying yes.
Under the encouragement of Juren Deng, he was also heartbroken and sneered in his heart that he could not gain a foothold in the Ye family. The big house is now full of food and drinks, and even the three rooms are in charge of the account. He is so proud, but he is the only one who does not love his uncle and does not love him. What's the point of living a cowardly life? It's better to extort a sum of money and fly away.
He made up his mind that Juren Deng was also very enthusiastic. He asked a gentleman to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, write a piece of paper, and then gave a few instructions.
Ye Song did not neglect, and hurried to the Hangzhou Prefectural Office with the paper. He wandered in front of the yamen for a while. He made up his mind and rushed forward with the paper in his hands, shouting shrillly: "What a villain is wronged? I beg Mr. Qingtian to make the decision for the people..."
……………………
Ye Chunqiu had already returned from school and seemed a little tired. In the past few days, a great scholar was invited to teach the classics. He, a tribute student, also went to listen to several classes. Those great scholars were so squirming that they were all over the place. Ye Chunqiu was stunned with his patience and was a little overwhelmed. As a great scholar, there were thousands of words in his belly, and there was no sign of stopping. Ye Chunqiu had his patience and wanted to visit the great master, but he was afraid that he would meet the scholar of the Imperial College, so he returned the same way.
Halfway through the way, someone happened to come towards him. Several officers saw him and hurried forward. One of them said, "But Ye Jieyuan?"
Ye Chunqiu calmly and said, "I don't know what the public calls students?"
The servant said: "I have handed over a lawsuit in the yamen today to sue Ye Jieyuan for bullying the elders in the family. This was just a trivial matter, but the person who came to sue Ye Jieyuan's second uncle. This matter is quite a matter. When the prefect of our government heard that, he came to court to interrogate the case in person, and then issued a ticket to arrest him and asked Ye Jieyuan to clarify."
Ye Chunqiu was not surprised. Although he felt that Ye Song might be more likely to scare him, he was not completely unprepared.
But even so, I was still a little annoyed and I really sued it? Haha... I couldn't get extortion, so I sued myself. It seems that this matter would not be good.
This is a clan society. What is a clan? That is, in the countryside, every member is a member of the clan. If you want to survive, you have to form a group. Even if the male members of the clan fight for a mu of land or a canal, they may fight with others without hesitation. Only those who are in a group can survive. Those who do not join will not only be despised, but also be despised.
Therefore, in this era, the most important thing is filial piety, closeness to elders, and friendship between relatives.
