Chapter IV: Beichen's Judgment of the Case

In the early morning of the next day, Beichen went to the rice shop with Mu Qing and Mu Wantong, but to the puzzlement of the onlookers, they did not enter the rice shop, but took a turn in the streets and alleys behind the rice shop. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It only took a turn, and without careful investigation, it was hastily finished, and a large team of arresters hurried back to the yamen.

Many people are puzzled by this, coupled with the words spread by Wu Cripple, rich people falsely accused him of stealing rice, no, the hall has not yet opened, and many people have gathered outside the yamen to watch.

In the back hall, Beichen said solemnly to Mu Qing: "Master Mu, let's talk about it, this case belongs to me, no matter how I try it, you can't interrupt me!" ”

Beichen glanced at the nearby catcher, and said proudly: "You have to remember that the current me, but your colleague, is not your prisoner......"

Mu Qing glanced at him, a little impatient, and when Mu Wantong next to him saw this, she covered her mouth and chuckled: "Don't worry, above the lobby, we are all observing, and everything is up to you."

Nodding, Beichen sorted out the green clothes and blue shirts on his body, and he was really a little unaccustomed to the days without underwear, but there was no way, the situation forced him, so he could only settle for it.

With the head catcher coming over to tell him that he was ready, Beichen's eyes lit up all of a sudden, this was the first time for him to ask the case, he couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart, sorted out the hairstyle, Beichen took a dragon and tiger stride and walked into the hall of the mansion.

The anger in the lobby was extremely serious, the plaintiff and the defendant were already above the lobby, and there were heroic catchers holding water and fire sticks next to them, standing majestically on both sides.

"This case is very strange, yesterday I sent someone to invite my colleague overnight, Mr. Beichen Bei, today's case will be handed over to him for trial!"

At this time, Beichen walked up to the high hall and nodded to everyone, there were two Taishi chairs prepared next to him, and Mu Qing and Mu Wantong walked to the Taishi chair and sat down.

"Master Qingtian, you have to make the decision for the little one!"

The lame Wu Xiong looked at the young Beichen, and he was not ambiguous, kneeling on the ground and calling Lord Qingtian, after all, for him, whoever judges is the same, he is still those words.

"Your Excellency, please!"

In contrast, the shopkeeper and the guy in the rice shop are a lot more normal, decent, not humble or silent.

"Well, get up......"

Beichen was not fluttering because of the rhetoric, but his face was a little proud, he looked at the shopkeeper of the rice shop, and muttered: "Shopkeeper Lu, if you have any grievances, the official will make the decision for you." ”

"Lord Xie, that's the case, in recent days, I have often lost rice in my rice shop, in order to see what is going on, I did not remove the rice, but hid it in the dark and watched it the night before yesterday."

It turned out that after a while, a lame man came, and when he saw that there was no one, he picked up a bag of fifty catties of rice and ran. My buddy and I grabbed him and asked him why he was stealing rice, but the lame man refused to admit it. I had no choice but to pull the lame man and bring the rice to the yamen to ask the lord to judge! ”

As he spoke, the shopkeeper of the rice shop pointed to the fifty catties of rice on the side, and his own buddy said: "My lord, my buddy can prove my claim, he saw this lame thief with me!" ”

Seeing this, the lame man on the side turned his eyes sharply, and hurriedly spoke: "Master Qingtian clearly decided, I am a cripple, how can I hold fifty catties of rice, it is obvious that he is framing the small one." ”

Beichen paid attention to it in his heart, nodded at the lame, and then looked at the shopkeeper of the rice shop, and scolded: "Shopkeeper Lu, are you guilty?" ”

"Guilty? I ......" The shopkeeper of the rice shop raised his head suddenly, his eyes widened and he froze in place, he was the plaintiff, how could he become guilty?

With a cold snort, Beichen slapped the shocked wood and said sharply: "Let me ask you, how many times has your rice shop been stolen, when was the earliest one?" ”

After thinking about it for a while, the shopkeeper Lu of the rice shop said truthfully: "The rice shop has been stolen four times one after another, and the earliest one was a week ago. ”

"Then let me ask you again, why didn't you come to report the theft of your rice shop a week ago?"

"This ......" Shopkeeper Lu looked surprised, and didn't know how to answer.

Beichen asked again: "Let me ask you again, why do you know that the night before yesterday, someone was going to steal?" ”

"The ......"

"Why did Wu Xiong go to your house to buy rice during the day, and your house was stolen at night?"

"I ......"

The shopkeeper Lu in the lobby was asked, and this series of questions caught him off guard, especially after being stolen for four consecutive weeks, why he didn't report the crime, he couldn't explain it at all.

slapped the shocking wood fiercely, Beichen stood up and said loudly: "There is only one reason, you are lying!" ”

"I'll explain to you, because Wu Xiong went to your house to buy rice during the day, and showed that he was rich, you and your buddies had bad intentions, and used the footprints left in the alley next to the rice shop to falsely accuse Wu Xiong, and wanted to extort a sum of money, I said...... Not bad! ”

"Lord Qingtian, what you said is so right, that's it, that's it!" Wu Xiong's whole person was ecstatic, he knelt on the ground, and kept saluting Beichen.

The shopkeeper and the guy of the rice shop were speechless for a while, because everything Beichen said was in line with common sense, and he was indeed stolen four times without reporting it.

I really can't explain why Wu Xiong bought rice during the day and was robbed from his house at night!

The audience was shocked, many people were deeply impressed by Beichen's wisdom, if so, everything made sense, during the day, Wu Xiong showed his wealth, which provoked the rice shop shopkeeper and the guy to have a bad heart, and set up a poisonous plan, which is the ridiculous thing of a lame man stealing rice!

"This kid, it really didn't disappoint......" On the Taishi chair on the side, Mu Qing also nodded clearly, it turned out that everything was like this, no wonder he felt ridiculous, because the lame man stealing rice was originally nothing.

"This is really the master of the blue sky, who is the master of our poor people."

"Yes, the discerning eye for traitors, this is our local parent official......"

Outside the hall of the mansion, the bustling crowd was discussing, all admiring Beichen's ability to solve cases, which could really be described as a discerning eye, and a glance to distinguish loyalty and treachery!

With a smile on his face, Beichen looked at the cripple on the other side and slowly spoke: "Wu Xiong, such a despicable villain, what do you think should be done?" ”

Wu Xiong's eyes turned sharply, his face looked compassionate, and he sighed: "I don't plan to investigate it deeply, but Shopkeeper Lu has framed me like this, you have to give me an explanation!" ”

Beichen thought for a moment, and then said: "Okay, this official will naturally not let you be framed in vain, so let's do it, the fifty catties of rice belong to you, you can take it home......"

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir......"

Wu Xiong looked happy, knelt on the ground and bowed again and again, and finally limped to the side of the fifty catties of rice, stretched out his lame legs, lowered his waist, carried the rice bag on his shoulder, and walked towards the door with a sonorous force.

Many people didn't think so of this scene, because the bag of rice was awarded to Wu Xiong by Beichen, and it was normal for him to take it away, but Beichen was the only one who raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

By now, many people seem to have forgotten that Wu Xiong, he is a cripple!

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Wu Xiong was carrying fifty catties of rice, and as soon as he walked out of the door, Beichen suddenly stood up, stared at his back, and applauded alone.

And Wu Xiong, who was full of joy, also chuckled in his heart, and his body stiffened in place!
