The officials who can appear in the shop cannot, of course, be big officials, or even officials, not even small officials, at most they can be regarded as the head of the people, this person is a lieutenant.

The chief is also surnamed Murong, named Murong Youniu, and Murong Zhi, the shopkeeper of Murong's old store, is a relative of his family.

Murong Youniu happened to come to the store to do errands, and saw Wang Dawan quarreling with Murong Zhi, he didn't think about coming over to persuade him, even if he was the chief, but he was also a very ideal chief, and he thought he had a very high status, so he wouldn't care about such a trivial matter as others quarrelling.

Generally speaking, if the villagers in the township have something to do and can't alarm the government, then the old people in the township, the old people who are also old, or the elders and the like, will solve the dispute.

As soon as Wang Dawan shouted, the others in the store said, it just so happens that the local lieutenant is here, if you have any disputes, just let the lieutenant chief give a comment.

Wang Dawan didn't recognize Murong Youniu, and he didn't know that Murong Youniu and the shopkeeper were relatives of his family, so he took the note and let Murong Youniu see it, and told him about his grievances!

But no matter whether Murong Youniu and Murong Zhi are relatives or not, and no matter how true what Wang Dawan said, but what is written in black and white is a money bag, which is a fact that no one can change.

Murong Youniu judged that Wang Dawan was a liar and wanted to blackmail Murong Zhi, he was the governor and was in charge of several surrounding villages, if he judged that Wang Dawan was a liar, then the people nearby could still give Wang Dawan a good look, naturally he was sneering and humiliating in every way.

Wang Dawan has never suffered such a big grievance in his life, and has been abused by so many people, especially the wife of the shopkeeper, who spit several mouthfuls of thick phlegm on his face, which made him feel that this is a great shame.

Li Rizhi hid behind the screen, and when he heard Wang Dawan talk about this, he almost understood what the whole thing had happened, to put it bluntly, Wang Dawan had no physical evidence, and he couldn't confirm that he was telling the truth.

After Zheng Gangling listened, he frowned and said, "That note, but it's still on you?" ”

Wang Dawan said with a bitter face: "If you return to the adult, it is not on the grass people, but was taken away by the Murong Li Chief, saying that it is evidence, it is the evidence that the grass people falsely accused Murong of the shopkeeper, and they are still relatives!" ”

I didn't know at the time, but as soon as he was scolded in the store, he knew, and he was even more desperate.

Zheng Gangling felt that the matter was quite tricky, and he couldn't listen to Wang Dawan's words, especially in the absence of any evidence, let alone listen to bias.

Zheng Gang ordered: "Wang Dawan, you go down to rest first, don't be too sad, this official will give you justice, you sleep well tonight, and talk about it tomorrow." ”

Caught and went down with Wang Dawan, Wang Dawan's expression was a little relaxed, as if he believed in Zheng Gangling very much, and thought that the county magistrate would definitely help him get the money back.

When everyone went out, Li Rizhi jumped out from behind the screen and said with a smile: "Uncle, do you guess this Wang Dawan is lying?" ”

Zheng Gangling shook his head slightly, and said: "It doesn't seem like he's lying, although he looks a little deer-headed rat, but the case can't be judged from the appearance of a person, you have to pay attention to human and physical evidence, but he doesn't ...... either."

He is a very square scholar, not the kind of person who is particularly flexible, so if he is separated from human and physical evidence, he really doesn't know how to solve this case.

Looking at the little nephew, Zheng Gangling suddenly smiled and said, "Rizhi is good, looking at your appearance, you seem to know something, and tell your uncle about it!" ”

Li Rizhi is not very old, it is the age of good showmanship, the child's temperament, hearing the adults ask him, he can't wait to say: "My father sometimes goes out to ask for accounts, all with account books, just look at the account books of this Wang Dawan, you can determine whether he lied." ”

Zheng Gangling slapped his head and said with a smile: "Look at my brain, what kind of confusion I have become, it's not as thoughtful as you think!" ”

He immediately asked the rescuer if he had any account books or anything like that, and he quickly found a booklet, but the booklet was wet, and the handwriting on it was blurred, but it was still recognizable.

Zheng Gangling worked hard to identify it, and added the number of silver coins on the booklet, if it was converted into silver, no more, no less, exactly forty-two taels!

Putting down the booklet, Zheng Gang ordered: "It seems that what Wang Dawan said is true, otherwise there is no need to make such a fake account, you must know that I only need to find someone to ask the merchant whether the account on this booklet is true or false, and you can find out clearly, so he should not be a liar." ”

Li Rizhi was lying on the table watching Zheng Gangling count, he tilted his head and said, "Uncle, but can the things in this booklet prove that they are the treasurer's silver?" ”

Zheng Gangling was a little embarrassed, he shook his head and said: "Still can't, this matter seems simple, but in fact it is extremely tricky, and you can't send someone to copy Murong Laodian......"

"Because even if you copy his shop and copy out the silver, there is no way to prove that the silver is Wang Dawan's, is that true?" Li Rizhi asked.

Zheng Gangling sighed and sighed: "Yes, so this matter is tricky, is it difficult for me to be punished." But the people of the Murong family have evidence and physical evidence, but I torture them, even if they recruit them, they will say that they are tortured into a trick, which is still not good! It's tricky, it's small, but it's tricky. ”

Zheng Gangling almost raised his head and asked Qingtian, he really couldn't do it, except for secretly scolding Murong Zhi for being too cunning, there was really no other good way.

Li Rizhi suddenly said: "Uncle, my nephew pinched his fingers, this matter is not difficult to solve!" ”

"Oh, you can figure out how to solve it, let's talk about it!" Zheng Gang was very interested.

Li Rizhi said with a smile: "I can't tell the truth, but it's very easy to lie to him to tell the truth, my nephew wants to ......" He said so.

After Zheng Gangling listened, he couldn't laugh or cry, and hesitated: "This, it's a bit of a child's play." ”

But seeing Li Rizhi's serious appearance, he remembered that this was a child, and the way he came up with was of course child's play!

However, it's better to give it a try, it's better than being helpless and having no tricks!

Zheng Gangling nodded and said, "Okay, let's give it a try, toss them well, and let them enjoy the night in the county office!" ”

He called for a quick arrest, and immediately went out of the city to arrest the shopkeeper of Murong Lao's shop, as well as a group of guests who were witnesses for Murong Zhi, as well as the lieutenant named Murong Youniu.

The catchers set off immediately, went out of the city to arrest people, Murong Zhi and the guests were easy to catch, and went to the old store directly to end a nest, Murong Youniu, who was a little troublesome, lived a little away from the old store, not too close.

Murong Youniu had just had dinner, sitting on a stool made of bamboo and rattan, resting under a tree in his yard, when the catcher broke into his house, he was frightened, and after learning that it was Wang Dawan who sued him, he relieved his heart and swore to the catcher that it would be a false accusation.

Catch him quickly and go to the countryside to do things, and often rely on people like the chief to cooperate, so he didn't embarrass him, and took him into the city, only a short time later than the person who went to arrest Murong Zhi.

Murong Youniu entered the yamen, it was dark at this time, for some reason, the entire front yard of the yamen, there was not a single lamp, the whole courtyard was pitch black, and even the inside of the lobby was black.

Murong Youniu was surprised, Xingyang County Ya he has been here a few times, basically after the autumn harvest, with the villagers to pay taxes and grain, and also came at night, sometimes the tax and grain can not be paid during the day, and the lanterns and torches are lit at night and then handed over, but I have never encountered this situation in front of me, it is black like this, it is difficult for the county to pretend to be honest, and even the candle is reluctant to light one, this incorruptible pretending to be a little too fake!

He quickly took him into the lobby, and overheard someone in the hall say, "You are Murong Youniu?" I seem to have seen you before, but someone on the road has already told you why it is so late, and the reason why you came, right? ”

Murong Youniu thought to himself: "Listen to the voice, this is the county magistrate, he doesn't remember me, but I remember him!" ”

He hurriedly said: "I know, the villain knows it, but that Wang Dawan is a false accusation, and the villain has a note written by him and Murong Laodian, and it is clearly written on it is a money bag, definitely not a silver bag." ”

"Are you sure, what if it's a silver bag? You're committing perjury. Another question came from the hall.

Murong Youniu was surprised, is he trying the case now, the trial of the black goo? What the hell is going on?

But when asked above, he didn't dare not answer, so he had to say: "How dare the villain commit perjury, there is a written evidence as proof, and there is a painting of Wang Dawan on it." The grass people are not very literate, but the silver of silver, and the money of copper coins, are absolutely known. ”

As he spoke, he took out the note and handed it to the catcher, and asked the catcher to hand it over to the county magistrate in the hall.

Another voice came from the hall: "You Diao people, you must be deliberately trying to trap Wang Dawan and swallow up his silver, but this official can't determine for a while that it is any of you who has the silver, and it is up to the moon to judge which of you is guilty!" ”

As soon as the voices in the hall stopped, all kinds of shouts suddenly sounded beside Murong Youniu, and there were more than a dozen people listening to the voices!

Murong Youniu was kneeling well, but it was dark all around, and someone suddenly spoke next to him, but he was startled and almost exclaimed.

Calmed down a little, he heard the voices around him, there were his relatives Murong Zhi, and there were also some unfamiliar voices, probably the guests in the store, the guests who were witnesses for Murong Zhi, it seemed that these people arrived earlier than him, and they had been kneeling in the hall, just because it was too dark, he didn't see them.

Murong Youniu only felt that tonight's incident was too evil, what happened in this yamen, what happened, not only was it not bright at all, but also, what the county commander said let the moon judge who is guilty?

What does this mean, it can't be the moon in the sky, right?

Or, who is the moon, the nickname of the prefectural magistrate?
