Li Rizhi beckoned to Wu Eryou, let Wu Eryou come into the store, and said: "Brother Yun has completely confessed, it was you who killed your eldest brother Wu Dayou, as well as your sister-in-law Pan." ”

Wu Er burst into tears and nodded again and again, Zheng Gangling looked at him and said, "Do you have anything to say to this official?" Let's take out the rag in your mouth first, he has finished confessing, and you can speak! ”

Wu Eryou hurriedly took out the rag from his mouth, he knelt down, and cried: "I still hope that Lord Qingtian will be the master of the students!" ”

Zheng Gang ordered: "This official has his own opinions, you get up and stand aside." ”

Li Rizhi said to the shopkeeper of Ximen: "The rest of the things, the shopkeeper of Ximen has already said, and then Brother Yun was blocked by the shopkeeper of Ximen on the second floor, and then he jumped out of the window of the bathroom and escaped, and the confessions before and after have been linked." However, I don't know one thing, it's not easy to deduce, that is, the shopkeeper of Ximen, why did you leave after we arrived, and you were arrested by Brother Yun? ”

The shopkeeper of Ximen was full of grievances and said: "The villain didn't want to escape, but his heart was empty, so he didn't want to get too close to the uncles in the official mansion, so he wanted to hide outside the town, and when the uncles left, the villain came back, but he was caught by Brother Yun, and insisted that the villain wanted to escape, and then pressed the murder charge on the villain's head, the villain was really wronged!" ”

Li Rizhi snorted and said, "If you enter a private house at night, you may not be wronged, but it will not cause any serious consequences!" ”

The onlookers nodded one after another, you have to keep some attention to this Ximen shopkeeper in the future, this guy likes to wander around in the middle of the night, specializing in teasing the women in the town, he is a villain!

Li Rizhi said to the people in the town: "The government will punish the shopkeeper of Ximen, but if he does bad things in the town in the future, you don't have to beat him after you catch him, you just need to let him face the toilet and think about it!" ”

The people in the town laughed, this trick is really easy to use, and the Ximen shopkeeper will change its name in the future, just call it Ximen toilet!

Zheng Gang ordered: "Although the case has been tried clearly, but I have to go back to the county government to announce the verdict, it is late today, and I can't return to the yamen, so I simply stay here for one night, and go back to the county tomorrow, and ask the townsfolk to entertain me, and the official will pay for room and board!" ”

Everyone in the town is happy, as long as the people in the government are willing to pay, anyway, who is not doing business! There were not many hotels in the small market town, and the servants could only live in scattered houses, so Zheng Gangling and Li Rizhi stayed in the only tavern in the town.

Brother Yun was detained in the Wuji steamed cake shop, guarded by Wu Eryou and two messengers, and it was best to be guarded by Wu Eryou, because Wu Eryou would not let Brother Yun escape no matter what.

That night, when having dinner in the tavern, the tavern owner told Zheng Gangling that he had told a passing guest about the samurai's case, but he only said the first half, and the latter did not say, the guest had already left, and it seemed that he was a scholar, and the tavern owner was very worried that the passer-by would scribble and change the samurai's case beyond recognition.

Li Rizhi heard this and said with a smile: "Don't worry, literati write books, especially strange and strange things, they generally don't use their real names, and the stories will also be changed, you don't have to worry about ruining anyone's reputation, you don't need to take this matter to heart!" ”

Zheng Gangling is very happy, if this case can be spread and the people know that Li Rizhi is very good at solving the case, it will be of great help to Li Rizhi to make a name for himself.

If Li Rizhi goes to Chang'an in the future, during the scientific examination, some people say that hey, isn't this the Li Rizhi who solved some case, he is a capable person, let him be a jinshi!

Or if Li Rizhi's name is known by the people in the palace, it will be of greater help to Li Rizhi's future career.

However, because the passer-by didn't know that there was a person named Li Rizhi, even if he wrote a story, it had nothing to do with Li Rizhi, and on the contrary, because he was also a reader, the passer-by wanted to write Wu Eryou, and nine times out of ten he would write a lot of good words.

However, these things are not what Li Rizhi and them care about, and they are not meritorious, let future generations comment on them!

Early the next morning, Li Rizhi and Zheng Gangling returned to the county government with a group of messengers and Wu Eryou, escorting the Ximen shopkeeper and Brother Yun.

After returning to the county office, Zheng Gang ordered that he couldn't rest, and immediately ascended to the court, asked the scribe to write a confession, and asked Brother Yun to press his handprint, and directly sentenced him to death, and reported it to the state, as long as he got the approval, he could cut off Brother Yun's head.

As for the shopkeeper of Simon, because of his poor character, of course, the shopkeeper of Simon himself thinks so, he never thinks how noble he is, but no matter how despicable his character is, he has not done anything with serious consequences, so Zheng Gangling only sentenced the shopkeeper of Ximen to 20 small boards, not big boards, but small boards, as a punishment, but the shopkeeper of Ximen had no objections, and after receiving 20 small boards, he went home.

In the face of Wu Eryou, Zheng Gangling first awarded him the property of the Wu family and asked him to inherit the family business, and also told Wu Eryou not to believe people's words in the future.

For example, Brother Yun actively helped this time and helped Wu Eryou deal with various things, in fact, it was not Brother Yun's kindness, but Brother Yun was spying on him, and he also wanted to influence Wu Eryou so that others would not suspect him, and even put the charges on others, which was obviously using Wu Eryou.

Zheng Gangling asked Wu Er to distinguish between right and wrong in the future, don't listen to the wind and rain, it's a good thing to read a lot of books, but you have to read it to your heart, even if you can't solve the case like Li Rizhi, but you must also distinguish clearly, who is a good person and who is a bad person!

Wu Eryou was very ashamed, thanked Zheng Gangling for his persuasion, and then went home to deal with the aftermath of Wu Dayou and Pan's family!

The case was solved, and these things on the bright side were done, Zheng Gangling began to think about how to write a good-looking dossier, and bragged well for Li Rizhi, so that the assassin knew Li Rizhi!

So, Zheng Gangling almost racked his brains and wrote a very good-looking dossier, blowing Li Rizhi like a prodigy, although Li Rizhi is no longer a child, but Li Rizhi also solved the case when he was a child, and he was a prodigy and is still very smart.

After writing the dossier, Zheng Gangling asked Li Rizhi to take a look, and asked Li Rizhi to know how the dossier was written, so that he wouldn't really see the assassin history at that time, but when the assassin asked him, Li Rizhi said that he had missed his mouth, so it would be bad, so he blew it for him in vain!

After Li Rizhi read this dossier, his face turned red, is he so great, it seems too much! However, my uncle, of course, has to say good things about himself!

Zheng Gang ordered: "Rizhi, you go home first, don't go back to the academy immediately, at least stay for three more days, I will first report the file of this case to the state, and then make a name for you in the county, hint, let the local old man send you a plaque, and then record it in the county annals, in this way, you will become a celebrity in Xingyang, and after the assassin knows it, he will also brag for you, and you will become a celebrity in Zhengzhou, so it will not be too difficult to go to Chang'an and get a jinshi!" ”

In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial examination was not famous, and the examiner of the paper knew that as long as the answer to the paper was not too bad, then the chances of the Zhongjinshi would be much greater, according to the rules of who was famous and who could be in the examination, sometimes even before the exam started, the ranking was determined first!

It is precisely because of the disadvantages of such an examination method that it will be improved, such as starting to blur the name, and not allowing the examiner to have more contact with the candidates before the exam, and it is necessary to avoid suspicion.

However, fortunately, in Li Rizhi's era, the scientific examination system is not perfect, and it can still be operated, plus Li Rizhi is indeed capable, so there is quite a lot of room for operation!

Li Rizhi is very embarrassed, he still has too little experience and is too thin-skinned, but it doesn't matter, as long as Zheng Gangling's skin is thick enough, these things, of course, will be handled by the eldest nephew!

Li Rizhi said goodbye to Zheng Gangling, returned home, and after meeting Li Zhengchun and Zheng, he told him how he solved the case, and then talked about Zheng Gangling's arrangements!

Li Zhengchun and Zheng's were overjoyed, Li Zhengchun said: "It's good to be famous, my son is a capable person, and the county is famous for my son, this is a good job." Well, of course, it's your uncle who says it in the county, so your uncle is the best! ”

Li Zhengchun laughed, very proud, as if his son Li Rizhi had already been admitted to the Jinshi.

Zheng was even more happy, she said: "I don't know what kind of plaque the old people in the city will send, if it doesn't suit our hearts, then what should we do, do you want us to give them a size first, and then set the words to be written on the plaque, I look at the labor and material costs, let's also go out together, we are willing to spend money, I am afraid that those old people will spend money, they are reluctant, and the plaque will cut corners!" ”

This is a problem, you need to think about it, Li Zhengchun nodded again and again, he had worked in the Tai Hospital before, and he knew the importance of qi, this plaque can't be done badly!

Li Rizhi smiled and said, "Dad, mother, you are too worried." Since the plaque was made by my uncle and hinted to the elders, how could they not be unreasonable, and besides, there was a character who could solve the case in the locality, and it could be recorded in the county chronicle, it was even more worth bragging about, of course the elders would do it with their hearts, you don't have to worry, maybe the plaques they made are even better than what we made ourselves! ”

Li Zhengchun and Zheng are right to think about it, the elders want to shoot Zheng Gangling's sycophants, of course, they must pay attention to this matter, especially this matter can be recorded in the Xingyang County Chronicles, it is a very glorious thing, Xingyang County Chronicles is a book that records the major events and famous people in Xingyang, specifically recording various local matters, and the elders have always attached great importance to it.

Li Rizhi asked the servants at home to boil water, he went back to the house to take a bath, then made up for sleep, got up and started to read again, no matter how famous he is, the book must still be read well, after all, this is the foundation of participating in the scientific examination in the future!

After reading the book for two days in a row, on the third day, when it was almost noon, Li Rizhi suddenly heard the sound of firecrackers outside his door, crackling and crackling, and he knew that it must be the old people who came with the plaques!

Li Rizhi immediately put down the book, took the bronze mirror, took a good look at his face, and called in Yahuan to comb his hair, and then sat in the room, holding the book, pretending to read, and deliberately opened the window, so that as soon as others entered the courtyard, they could see him sitting and reading, waiting for others to call him!

Sure enough, I didn't wait for a while, but I heard someone in the courtyard shouting: "Li Gongzi, the old people in the city are here, and they also carried a plaque, congratulations on your successful cracking of a big case, it has been spread all over the ground in Xingyang, Li Gongzi is really a master of solving cases!" ”

Li Rizhi coughed and said: "It's a trivial matter, why worry about it, all the elders in the city actually came in person, which is really ashamed of the students, and they are ashamed of their love for the elders and the villagers!" ”

There was an old man in his eighties, dressed in decent clothes, who was helped into the courtyard, the old man's eyes were not very good, after he entered the courtyard, he first shouted to the courtyard wall on the west side: "Li Gongzi, come out to receive the plaque......

Someone around him immediately reminded him: "Elder Zhang Su, Li Gongzi is in the room on the north side, sitting in front of the window reading, and the wall on the west side!" ”

"Oh, which side is north, I can't see clearly!" Zhang Su Lao said.

The person next to him hurriedly turned the old man's body slightly, and Zhang Su shouted at Li Rizhi in the room: "Li Gongzi, come out to receive the plaque...... Ahem, ahem, ahem! ”
