Chapter 211 The Best Lawyer in Town
"Madam is right. If you want to seek justice, you should go to the government office!
"That's right, Madam is just a woman from the inner house, how could she be involved in these things?
"Well, I thought this family looked pretty miserable before, but now I think these people came here to make trouble, probably because they saw that the lady was kind-hearted."
"Yes. Madam even gave them food. Why would I care about their lives? If their husbands hadn't done anything evil, why would they be locked up? And why would they let their wives and children starve and freeze?"
"That's right. If he hadn't committed a serious crime, why would his family be sealed off?"
"You may not know this, but this is from the Nangong family. This old woman was so arrogant in the past that everyone in their neighborhood knew them. During those years when the general was away from home and had not returned to Mangcheng, this old woman simply regarded herself as the queen mother of Mangcheng! At that time, she did not look as pitiful as she does now. At that time, this old woman wore gold and silver. I heard that the women in her family did not have to pay for jewelry from the silver shop!
"Is there such a thing?"
"That's right. I've heard about it too. The boy from their family who followed the general helped take charge of the military affairs when the general was not in Mangcheng. This woman looks down on people! Now that they have come to the general's mansion with their family and are crying and making a fuss, I don't think they have any good intentions."
The crowd on one side whispered to each other.
Their voices were not small, and Wang could hear some of what they said.
The more she listened, the more frightened she became. She was afraid that she would not get any good out of this matter today.
She originally wanted to make some trouble, thinking that although the general's wife had a high status, she was just a little maid from the palace.
How could a maidservant have any knowledge? If she was anxious to find Wei Ling, she would blame him and force him in front of everyone to see if they could let them meet those dead men! These people have many friends outside, and maybe there are some money hidden somewhere else that they don't know about.
They don't want to live even one more day like this!
If I had enough money, I could at least sell a maid to help with cleaning and cooking. It would be better than having several of them at home complaining about each other!
Who would have thought that Su Jixiang didn't look like a palace maid who would never amount to anything.
After hearing Su Jixiang's few words, the onlookers immediately switched sides and joined Su Jixiang's side.
"Then please give us some food and daily necessities. It won't be too late to return them to you once our man's affairs are clarified! Madam, we are really desperate, so we come to you for help!" Wang said quickly.
Since I can't see Wei Ling, it would be good to get some money from the general's wife.
She is a general's wife, and if anything slips out from between her fingers, it would be enough for mother and daughter to eat for several days!
Besides, in front of so many people, Wang was sure that Su Jixiang would not be willing to ask them to pay anything, even though that was what Su Jixiang said just now.
"How is that possible? Aren't you protesting your injustice? Don't you want to file a lawsuit?" Su Jixiang looked at Wang and her group with a sarcastic smile on his face.
Wang lowered her head quickly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, it would be great if Madam is willing to help!"
"Come here, go find a lawyer, a famous one, and say that the general's mansion asked him to help write the complaint." Su Jixiang said to Wei Feng beside him.
Wei Feng was startled. Madam, are you serious? Are you really going to find a lawyer?
He looked at Su Jixiang again, and seeing that Su Jixiang looked calm, he quickly agreed and ran out.
When Wang heard this, she panicked. She had never been wronged. She knew everything her sons had done behind Nangong Rui's back! If the lawyer really came, it would be hard to end the matter!
"Madam, there is no need to go to so much trouble!" Wang said anxiously, "We just want to see the general!"
"It's not a big deal!" Su Jixiang said to Wang with a smile, "Isn't your purpose of meeting the general to seek justice? If you want to seek justice, at least you should file a complaint to explain the whole story. This way, the general and the government will know where they wronged the men in your family! Don't you think so? Don't worry, I will pay for the lawyer's complaint, and I will definitely not ask your family for a penny."
Wang's...
She was stunned and forgot to cry for her parents. She just stared at Su Jixiang stupidly.
When the onlookers saw Su Jixiang asking them whether it was right, they all nodded naturally.
"That's right, if there is injustice, then redress it. You've come all the way here, but didn't you keep saying that you were wronged?"
"Yes, she doesn't even ask your family to pay. It shows that the lady is still soft-hearted."
"That's right, what a great opportunity!"
"Isn't it? Isn't this better than coming to someone's door and crying? If you have any grievances, just tell the lawyer."
The onlookers talked to Wang at the same time.
The expression on Wang's face was stiff and hard. She looked even uglier than when she was crying just now!
It's bad, she's in a dilemma!
Wei Feng moved quickly and in no time he carried an old man who was over fifty years old on his back.
The old man was still shaken and dizzy on Wei Feng's back. As soon as Wei Feng put him down, he could not help complaining to Wei Feng, "You are so unreasonable, young man. I said I was willing to come, but you carried me on your back and ran away. Fortunately, my family knew that you came to ask me for help with writing. If they didn't know, they would have thought you were going to kidnap me!"
"Aren't you worried that you might be slow and make my wife wait for a long time?" Wei Feng said with a smile, then bowed, "I'm sorry for the offense, I hope you can forgive me."
Among the onlookers there were people who knew the old man.
"Oh, this old woman is so lucky. The gentleman who was carried here is Mr. Zeng, a well-known lawyer in Mangcheng!" someone in the crowd said.
"Ah? Is it the lawyer Zeng who was nearly chopped off by the former county magistrate a few years ago for seeking justice for someone? I heard that he was also thrown into the mining area, but was later rescued!"
"Yes, it's Mr. Zeng. Although Mr. Zeng no longer helps people with lawsuits in recent years, many people still ask him to write for them! I heard that his handwriting is very valuable!"
"Madam, this is Mr. Zeng Qingzeng, the most famous lawyer in Mangcheng." Wei Feng said to Su Jixiang.
Zeng Qing hurried over to greet Su Jixiang, "I greet the general's wife."
He was thrown into the mining area and almost died. It was Wei Ling who saved him, otherwise he would have turned into a pile of earth now!
Today, when he heard Wei Feng say that the General's Mansion wanted his help with something, he immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks and agreed.
