Su Rong took a bowl of things and put it on the bookcase, and said, "Childe, you haven't rested yet, how can I, a maid, rest first?" I asked the kitchen to boil a bowl of lotus seed soup, son, you can taste it first. ”

Duan Fei snorted and continued to bury his head in the case file, Su Rong became curious, stretched out his head to look, and said, "Is this the case that Master Ma handed over to Gongzi?" These cases seem pretty simple. ”

"Oh? Is it simple? Tell me about it? Duan Fei raised his head in surprise and looked at Su Rong and encouraged.

Su Rong said: "I naturally can't see anything based on these case files alone, and if you question the plaintiff and the defendant face to face, you may be able to see who is lying, Su Rong is still a little confident in looking at people." ”

"Really? What do you think of me as a person? Duan Fei asked with a smile.

Su Rong frowned and said, "Childe, the way you look now makes my scalp tingle." ”

Duan Fei smiled, stopped joking with her, and said, "What's the use of knowing that they are lying?" Do you just catch it and hit the board? I'm not that kind of foolish official, I have to use torture to solve the case, I have my own clever plan to make them confess their guilt automatically, you don't have to wait for me, go and rest first. ”

Su Rong blinked her eyes and said, "Childe, can I go with you to handle the case tomorrow?" The doctor said that it is not good for me to be bored at home, and I also want to see with my own eyes Childe, you can solve the case. ”

"Really? You don't believe me, do you? Duan Fei rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not the prefect, you can't go to court with me, but we won't return to the government until the end tomorrow, so there's no problem if you want to go with me." ”

"Thank you, Childe." Su Rong pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Su Rong went back to rest, and the son should rest early, the coming day will be long, don't be too tired." ”

Duan Fei took a big sip of the lotus seed soup, waved his hand, Su Rong retreated, Duan Fei drank the lotus seed soup and read the file again, and finally went back to the room to rest.

Early the next morning, Duan Fei first went to the government to see Master Ma, borrowed a few local catchers, and then led a group of fierce catchers to Nancheng.

The first thing he wants to deal with is a neighborhood dispute, the plaintiff's surname is Li Mingchen, and he sued his neighbor Lian for falsely accusing him of 500 taels of silver, the reason is that Li Chen borrowed 800 taels of silver from Lian to do business, and wrote an IOU to mortgage the house, Li Chen made some money in business and came back, and when he repaid the money, he first repaid 500 taels, and the rest was ready to pay back the next time he made money in business, because the neighborhood relationship has always been good, he didn't want to go back to the original IOU and write another one, but he didn't expect Li Chen to repay the money for the second time Lian Mou's face suddenly changed, insisted that Li Chen didn't pay back a penny, and asked him to pay back eight hundred taels of silver.

Li Chen only regretted it at this time, so he had to write a complaint to the Shangyuan County Government, and the Shangyuan County Order saw that Li Chen could not produce evidence, so he sentenced him to make a false accusation.

All the evidence was unfavorable to Li Chen, but Duan Fei just believed him in his heart, a liar would never sue again and again without evidence, and besides, he also asked the catcher who had seen Li Chen and his neighbor Pida, and the catchers all thought that Li Chen was an honest man, and his neighbor Pida didn't seem so real.

Early in the morning, a group of catchers suddenly appeared in front of Pida's door, and they banged on the door of Pida's house, urging: "Open the door, open the door, open the door!" Something is wrong! ”

Pida was sleeping soundly in the house with his wife in his arms, when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, he hurriedly got up and put on his clothes and opened the door, and before he could open his mouth to complain, the wolf-like tolerance had already thrown him to the ground, and immediately tied him up.

"Uncle, what crime have I committed? Why arrest me! Pida was tied up and thrown at the door for onlookers, a few catchers from Yangzhou guarded him, and the rest rushed into his room, and in an instant Pida's wife was heard screaming inside: "Robber...... Yes...... Someone, there are robbers! ”

Soon a group of onlookers gathered at the gate of Pida, and Duan Fei sneered after hearing Pida's words: "Pida, we are the catchers of Yangzhou, and we came here for you, and you have committed a crime!" ”

Hearing the voice of Yangzhou, Shi Bin said to the surrounding onlookers: "Two days ago, we caught a group of thieves in Yangzhou Mansion and confessed that they had deposited more than 1,000 taels of silver ingots obtained from robbery and murder in the house of Pida, the owner of the big nest in Yingtianding's Lane, so we were sent by adults to arrest Pi and check the stolen silver, and escort them back to Yangzhou for trial. ”

The onlookers let out a whoop and whispered, but Pida was dumbfounded and shouted: "Impossible, I am wronged, I am not a thief, I am not harboring stolen silver, I am not the owner of the nest!" ”

Suddenly there were cheers from the house, and the local catchers shouted, "Found it, found the stolen silver!" ”

A catcher trotted out and bowed his hand to Duan Fei and said, "Duan Zhutou, I waited for dozens of big silver ingots to be found in Pi's house, about more than seven hundred taels. ”

Duan Fei snorted and said to Pida: "Pida, you said that you were wronged, then let me ask you, why do you have so many silver taels at home?" Could it be that you are used to sleeping on silver ingots at night? ”

Pida opened his mouth, the only explanation had already been sarcastically said by Duan Fei first, he couldn't find an excuse for a while, how could ordinary people store so much silver at home? Most of his silver was returned by Li Chen, and for fear of leaving evidence, he didn't dare to take it to the money bank to exchange it for silver tickets, so he kept piling it up in the cabinet, but he didn't expect it to be searched out today.

Duan Fei didn't give him time to think, and continued to ask: "Since you can't tell the origin of the silver, it must be a thief, and now it is a person who has obtained the stolen goods, come on, escort Pida and all the stolen silver back to the mansion together, and wait for the prefect Lord Ma to confirm it and immediately escort it to Yangzhou!" It's a big theft, and if Pida tries to escape, break his dog's legs! ”

The catchers lifted Pida like wolves, Pida only felt that he flew up without his feet, seeing that the familiar door was getting farther and farther away from him, Pida was only frightened, and couldn't help shouting: "Those are not stolen silver, it is the silver that Li Chen next door paid me, that is not stolen silver......

"Oh? That's the money that Li Chen next door paid back to you? The catchers put Pida down and said in unison, and then Duan Fei sneered: "You said that this is the silver that Li Chen next door paid back to you, what evidence do you have?" ”

"If you don't believe it, you can ask Li Chen to testify for the villain, and the silver is really returned to me by Li Chen." Pida was so stunned by these Yangzhou dialects that he didn't think about it at all.

Duan Fei arched his hand to the surroundings and said: "Everyone, let's testify, this guy personally said that the silver was returned to him by Li Chen, and a total of more than 700 taels of silver was found, which means that the 800 taels of silver that Li Chen owes him have all been paid off, everyone is right!" ”
