Chapter Seventy-Eight: Survival in Death

Li Qingshan's heart was shocked, before the blacksmith Ma desperately protected the curtain from letting the four fingers enter, but he could see it clearly, but now in retrospect, the blacksmith Ma did have a different look at that time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

And when Blacksmith Ma pushed the two brothers out of the shop, he also said, "Uncle Ma can handle it", and now that he thinks about it, it seems that things are not as simple as he imagined.

Could it be that these four fingers are not talking nonsense?

He was worried in his heart, and hurriedly looked at the blacksmith Ma, but the blacksmith Ma still had no change in his face, and he was calm and a little calm.

Gao Ji was also stunned, he only wanted to cure the sins of the four fingers and rectify the local atmosphere today, but he didn't expect to have so many twists and turns.

The four fingers are conclusive, is it really a case within a case?

Li Qingshan suddenly asked: "Fourth Master, even if it is really as you said, Uncle Ma is really secretly minting copper coins privately, shouldn't the Fourth Master report to the official immediately?" The fourth master is in the market, not a person in the official government, this action, in my opinion, I am afraid that he is not enthusiastic about local security, but has other intentions, right? ”

If anyone says that the four fingers are as magical as the "masses of Chaoyang District", I am afraid that not only Li Qingshan is present, but many people will laugh off their big teeth.

Sure enough, the four fingers were speechless for a while, and after thinking for a long time, they didn't have the words to respond. This kid's vision is really poisonous, and he is afraid that he will not be able to hide anything from him.

I can't answer: Yes, Lao Tzu just wants to go to the black and eat the black, what can you do!

If there was no one around, he might have said that, but now everyone is watching, and the tall man is here, so he said that. Isn't that a trick to death?

Li Qingshan saw that he was choked half to death by himself. I have already guessed the general ins and outs in my heart. He silently sorted out the matter again in his heart.

Privately minted copper coins are equivalent to the printing of counterfeit banknotes in later generations. The blacksmith didn't know if he was really printing counterfeit money at home, and if so, his skills were obviously too good.

However, this should have been an extremely secret thing, but four fingers didn't know where to learn about it, so the greedy four fingers took a few of his subordinates to the door to play a classic game called "everyone comes to find ballast", and it was a sign smashing, and it was an excuse to collect protection money. In fact, he just wanted to make trouble, looking for an opportunity to search the blacksmith's shop, with only one purpose, that is, to rob his mold, of course, if he saw a fake-banknote, he also robbed it.

If he was robbed, Blacksmith Ma would definitely not dare to go to the police station to report the case, because he couldn't tell the police uncle, hello. Four Fingers led someone to rob me of the guy who printed counterfeit money, and by the way, robbed me of a lot of fake money. Can you help me decide.

If he said so, the police uncle was only afraid that he would be the first to handcuff the horse blacksmith first.

So this thing is like it never happened, black eats black, robs white robs, this is the wishful thinking of four fingers.

So Four Fingers went home with the mold, happily mass-produced banknotes, and lived a beautiful and happy life ever since, and the finale, the ending song sounded......

Of course, this is a beautiful script customized by Four Fingers himself.

It's a pity that when the script officially started filming, it was messed up by Li Qingshan and Yang Daxuan, two King Kong babies with a sense of justice.

The big baby is infinitely powerful, and the second baby is ...... Very impulsive, the abundant props on the shooting site provided them with extremely domineering lethal weapons, and what was even worse was that these two unplanned extras did not listen to the director's arrangement at all, and the two sides immediately clashed.

The second baby is too thief, and she started to do it before she finished speaking, so the four fingers that set the director, screenwriter, and leading actor were hung up and broken.

Four Fingers became angry and went back to call many brothers, so the plot became a bloody story of the old boy who was caught on the street and was arrested by the government on the spot.

Of course, things have developed so far, and in order to protect himself, Four Fingers finally shook out the matter of the horse blacksmith secretly printing counterfeit money at home.

Well, if you sort it out like this, it seems that some things have finally been sorted out, and Li Qingshan has also figured out some details that he couldn't figure out before, so now the question is, did the horse blacksmith print counterfeit banknotes at home?

He was in his heart, but he heard Du Zhongfang suddenly say: "Lord Gao, the private minting of copper coins is not only surprisingly profitable, but also seriously disrupts the order of coins in the market, and it is a serious crime of law in all dynasties. I think that the four fingers just said, although there is no clear evidence at present, but please pay attention to it! ”

If there is really a private casting under the rule, it is definitely not a trivial matter, Gao Ji of course also attaches great importance to it, and nodded at the moment and said: "Lord Du is reasonable, now, His Majesty is implementing the new five-baht coin, vigorously unifying the circulation of currency in the market, and has always hated the matter of private casting and stealing, and this kind of evil behavior has always been cracked down by the government, and this official will never allow such evil things to happen under his rule!" ”

Gao Ji is the clan brother of Gao Gong when the left servant shoots Gao Gong, and the importance of folk circulation currency, Gao Gong has also mentioned it to him before.

"Tall and wise!" An imperceptible smile flashed on Du Zhongfang's face, "This matter is not trivial, no wonder the blacksmith Ma denied it, but there is no evidence, in order to return the innocence of the blacksmith, it is better for us to send some people to search the blacksmith shop, and you can see the difference." I wonder what adults think? ”

Gao Ji nodded in agreement: "Although the words of the four fingers may not be credible, it is necessary to search for it, and it won't take much time, just listen to Lord Du." ”

Li Qingshan saw that the blacksmith Ma was calm and calm, and he was not worried about the search at all, but he was a little puzzled in his heart, could it be that the news of the four fingers was fake? It's weird.

Gao Ji was about to order his subordinates to go in and search the iron shop, Li Qingshan suddenly said: "Lord Gao, the search is not in a hurry, can you listen to me before you go in and search?" ”

If ordinary people were still rambling at such a critical juncture, they were afraid that they would have been kicked away by Du Zhongfang a long time ago, but Li Qingshan's identity is different now, although Du Zhongfang was a little unhappy in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything, just curious about what tricks he could play.

Gao Ji was also stunned: "Lord Li, please speak." ”

Li Qingshan said slowly: "The truth of the four fingers is unknown at present, in my opinion." It is very likely that he deliberately made it up in order to get rid of the crime of robbery. ”

Gao Ji thought for a moment. Nodding in agreement: "Yes." The possibility of this is not ruled out. So what does Lord Li think should be? ”

"If evidence of privately minted copper coins is found in the shop, the blacksmith will plead guilty, and I have nothing to say. But......" Li Qingshan paused slightly and raised his voice, "What if you can't find evidence?" ”

"Lord Li is really thoughtful." Gao Ji glanced back at his four fingers, his gaze swept over Du Zhongfang's face intentionally or unintentionally, and his voice was deliberately aggravated. "If no evidence can be found, the four fingers should naturally be punished as the crime of burglary, and in addition, there will be a crime of defamation of others."

He turned sideways and pointed at the four fingers: "Four fingers, this official has ruled like this, can you be convinced?" ”

Four fingers silently killed Li Qingshan three thousand times in his heart, this guy is really ruthless, so two or three sentences can make one more charge for himself!

However, if he is not searched, his robbery charge must be confirmed anyway. It's better to gamble, maybe you can escape this fate.

At that moment, the four fingers clenched their teeth and responded: "My lord." If you can't find it, the villain ...... Admit it! ”

Gao Ji nodded with satisfaction and shouted: "Come on, bring more people, go in and search!" ”

There are also many people from Du Zhongfang, Du Zhongfang grabbed a person from his side, and said in a deep voice: "Remember, you must ask the brothers to search carefully, you can't let go anywhere, you must ...... Return the blacksmith a clean slate! ”

It's like the real thing, and the acting is really top-notch.

The official knew and took the order to go, Li Qingshan saw it in his eyes, and in order to prevent these poor people from doing anything, he asked Huang Laoxie and Gu Dazhu, the two old villages, to follow up and supervise.

When Du Zhongfang saw Huang Laoxie and Gu Dazhu entering, he said hello to them twice, and he also followed in.

That's fine, there are people on both sides to supervise, and everyone has nothing to say.

The officials rummaged through the boxes and cabinets in the shop for a while, not only searched all the cases and wooden cabinets, but also did not let go of the burning stove, but they did not find any substantial evidence.

Four fingers shouted to the side of the shop: "Lord Du, I have searched the front shop before, but the back room has not been searched!" ”

He shouted words in his mouth, but his eyes were looking at the horse blacksmith, he thought that the horse blacksmith would be afraid, but who knew that the surname Ma had been fine, and the four fingers sneered in his heart: It's too late to make you cry later.

Who knew that in the end, it was him who cried.

After searching for a long time, the officials came out one after another, and they all returned empty-handed. Seeing that they all shook their heads, the sadness on the face of the four fingers became heavier and heavier, and when Du Zhongfang came out, he didn't see him holding a mold or something like that in his hand, and the four fingers screamed in his heart.

"Impossible, impossible!" Four Fingers is still in a dying struggle, wanting the officials to go in and search again.

The official surnamed Xing glared at him and said, "My brothers and I have searched the back room carefully, and we have found three secret compartments, but most of them are some personal belongings, and we have not found any molds for private casting. ”

As he spoke, he presented all those personal belongings to Gao Ji, and Li Qingshan also looked over here.

There was a delicate scale, a few weights, a sharp knife.

There is also an apparently hand-carved wooden horse, I don't know why it looks like it hasn't been carved, the tail is still a little missing, it looks shabby, and the age seems to be a little old.

Some copper coins were also found in the shop, and there were some broken silver, but nothing was abnormal.

Except for these few things, the others are just ordinary objects, and they are not even worth mentioning.

"Four fingers, I searched and searched, but I didn't find any evidence, now, can you plead guilty?"

The four fingers' face turned pale, and Wu Zi shouted that it was impossible, but Du Zhongfang had already stepped forward and said: "Lord Gao, considering the particularity of this case, I think humbly, since the shop has been searched, is it necessary for the blacksmith Ma and the junior apprentice in his shop to search again, so that they can completely clear their innocence?" ”

Li Qingshan was a little annoyed, this Du Zhong Fang was really excessive, but he was angry, but he also admired this person's meticulous thinking.

As if grasping at the last straw, the four fingers pulled at the clothes of an official and shouted, asking him to immediately come forward and search the blacksmith's body.

Gao Ji thought for a while, and with a wave of his hand, the two officials were ordered to step forward and carefully search the whole body of Ma Blacksmith and Ah Xing.

Ah Xing didn't have anything on him, but some copper coins were found on the blacksmith horse.

Si Count saw the copper coins in the official's hand, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he stepped forward to grab a few copper coins and looked at them carefully for a while, and suddenly laughed out loud.

"The surname is Ma, let me say, I finally caught you now, right?"

The blacksmith's face was already blue, and he regretted it in his heart, careless, careless!

Thousands of calculations, how can I forget these few pattern coins!

The official took the copper coin from the four fingers and handed it to Gao Ji: "My lord, twenty copper coins were found on the blacksmith Ma, and nothing was found on Ah Xing." ”

Gao Ji took the copper coins and looked at the sunlight carefully, and the expression on his face suddenly became serious.

Li Qingshan had been paying attention to the changes in the situation, and when he saw the sweat on the blacksmith's head, and then looked at the expression on his face, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It seems that the private casting must be true.

It is a felony to privately mint copper coins, although I have just been knighted, but I am afraid that there is nothing I can do!

In the Han Dynasty, once the crime was discovered, the main culprit and the accomplice had to be executed in the downtown area, that is, the torture of "abandoning the city" to set an example.

The laws of the Great Sui are even more known for their strictness, not to mention the main culprit, but I am afraid that even the people who provide copper charcoal will have to be connected, Ma Blacksmith and Ah Xing, I am afraid that their lives will not be saved.

The most serious death penalty in the "Great Sui Law" is the punishment of the car, that is, the punishment of the splitting of the car, followed by the head of the owl and the abandonment of the city, the corpse is displayed for three days, and the local people who have no city, the corpse is displayed in the conspicuous and lively place of the township pavilion.

Li Qingshan had even seen the tragic scene of the corpses of Ma Blacksmith and Ah Xing being exposed outside the market and being watched by onlookers!

His heart was tingling!

If you hadn't been upset, maybe the ending would have been different, right?

Looking at the four fingers again, at this time, it was as if he had returned to his soul, smiling viciously at the horse blacksmith, but his heart had already pondered, since he had found the evidence of the horse blacksmith's crime, he should be able to get away with it, right?

Although Du Zhongfang didn't have a big expression, the cold gaze that occasionally threw at Li Qingshan completely revealed the pride in his heart.

Hmph, sir, sir, sir, can't save anyone!

Li Qingshan sighed, and glanced gloomily at the copper coin in Gao Ji's hand, this damn proof of crime!

This was a glimpse full of curses, but who knew that this glimpse made Li Qingshan's little heart suddenly beat wildly, and countless thoughts in his mind had flashed like lightning!

This copper coin!

I see!

Wait a minute......

Uncle Ma may be able to survive in death!

At this moment, the four fingers had already shouted at the horse blacksmith: "The surname Ma, if these coins are not privately minted, how should you explain them?" ”

"Does that need an explanation?" Li Qingshan was afraid that Blacksmith Ma's random answer would disrupt his plan, so he hurriedly replied loudly, "Four fingers, these copper coins were given to Uncle Ma as a deposit by this lord, what's the problem?" ”

Gao Ji's face sank like water, and he was about to reprimand the blacksmith Ma, but when he heard Li Qingshan say this, his face was suddenly shocked.

Not only him, but everyone present was taken aback, and the horse blacksmith wiped his sweat and looked at Li Qingshan blankly.

Gao Ji's eyes widened a little: "Lord Li, this official didn't hear it wrong, right?" These coins ...... Is it Lord Lai's? ”

"Yes, Master Gao, is there anything wrong?" (To be continued.) )
