Chapter 0211 Silver Theft
In front of the gate of the Li Mansion.
Wang Mu saw him again.
…………
Li Moyi asked her if she had noticed that her thought process was a little different.
Wang Mu told him that her various thoughts seemed to be less, and her heart didn't seem to be as panicked as before.
"This ancient method is to put an end to everything."
Li Moyi made such an epilogue.
Wang Mu didn't understand, but these words began to grow infinitely in her heart.
…………
The next few hours.
As soon as Li Mo walked in one direction, Wang Mu found it quite difficult to keep up with him.
The distance between the two came and went, and sometimes Wang Mu only felt that he looked like a stranger. It's close at hand, but it's out of reach.
While walking, Li Moyi occasionally mentioned his childhood......... And some of his recent experiences.........
When it comes to the past, sometimes he has a very good memory, and sometimes he becomes confused and can't remember anything.
His smile came quickly.
He shared several quizzes.
Wang Mu was always shy and hesitant, somehow, she couldn't get along with him easily, and she couldn't speak in front of him, but his laughter made her feel kind.
…………
When he came to the road, Wang Mu said a question.
"When I saw it......... You seem to ......... The whole person is a light .........."
Li Mo said that he didn't know, and told her a word that made her not very clear.
…………
With him, Wang Mu soon felt comfortable, and she began to try to talk to him easily.
But when the whole conversation ended, I still found that there was a huge gap between me and him. The mystery of that man is so elusive and impossible to speculate.
…………
…………
When night fell, there was a lot of noise in front of Li Mo's house, only to hear the rumbling of firecrackers, a ladder was set up in front of the door, and several family members hung up the plaque that Master Bu had just sent.
Then Li Moyi personally kicked the ladder to lift the silk cloth covering the plaque, and the two golden characters of 'Li Mansion' danced like thunder.........
Xie Qian, the imperial official of Cha County, smiled and arched his hand to Li Moyi and said, "Congratulations to the great scribe Li for moving to a new house, and the old man sent a hundred taels of silver to congratulate him........."
"Congratulations on opening ........."
"Congratulations to Kaifu ........."
One by one, the errands followed the footsteps of Master Xie into the Li Mansion, and the red envelopes were stuffed into Li Moyi's hands, which .........
But it's useless to say anything now, Li Mo's face was a little wooden, and he greeted batch after batch of guests who he didn't recognize at all, until his feet were numb and his hands were shaking, he knew that there was really a lot of difference in the boundary of Tianlong Villa.........
After entering the Li Mansion, the adults couldn't help but praise and were quite envious, you must know that Tianlong Villa is the companion capital of Kyoto, the housing prices are very high, and the living expenses are also very large, the vast majority of ordinary officials can't afford such a mansion, even if they can afford it, they may not dare to buy it, you must know that this is very eye-catching, and the adults above know it, and it is strange that you are not impeached in groups.
This also made these errands affirm in their hearts that Li Moyi had a backer.
How did they know that there was already a Li Mansion in Liling City, and Li Moyi's original intention was just to take the opportunity to buy and sell to make a profit, but now it's good, everyone knows that this is the Li Mansion, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to get rid of in the future.
At the moment, Li Fuzhong held a feast to entertain the errands who came to congratulate him, Li Moyi did not dare to show a trace of pride at the banquet, but seemed a little restrained, or sent the county official Lord Xie and the governor Bu to help him greet everyone left and right, talking lightly, laughing and laughing, and greeting a chaotic banquet smoothly.
Wei Bushan's performance was also good, he talked about business at the banquet, everyone heard him say that it only cost 20,000 taels of silver to buy this house, and they all regretted it, and they all knew that everyone had gone to speculate on the land.
At the end of the day, the crowd dispersed.
The Li Mansion finally quieted down, and as soon as Li Mo sent away the last group of guests, he was even more tired than participating in a triathlon, and his head was dizzy worse than drinking two glasses of that wine.
After saying anything, Wang Zheng's little guard helped Li Moyi into the house, Li Mo was in a heavy duphement, and fell asleep on the couch.
…………
…………
The next day.
"Knock knock!!"
Li Mo slept until noon before he was awakened by the knock of Wang Zheng's little guard, his head was heavy like a mountain, and after he opened the door, Wang Zheng's little guard walked in.
Wang Zheng's little guard told him: "Brother Li, Master Xie sent someone to send a few case files and told you to read them at home today, and you don't have to go to the official residence to count them." ”
"This old boy is really good at employing people."
Li Mo stretched up and down, turned around and came to the study, and began to check the case file sent to him by Imperial Servant Xie.........
…………
…………
What Imperial Officials Xie threw to Li Moyi were all old and small cases, but some small cases were even more difficult to handle than big cases, especially after a long delay, this kind of case was even more difficult.
Just like the robbery dispute case that Governor Song encountered that day, without evidence and no evidence, it was all based on a few parties who came with their mouths, if it was not decided on the spot, that case could almost be concluded to be an unsolved case, and the cases that Li Moyi got now are similar.
For example, a farmer outside Tianlong Villa entered the village to sell geese, and had a dispute with a restaurant, and sued the restaurant for a big live goose.
There are also disputes between neighbors, cases such as theft in the house, which have been dragged on for at least ten days, and these cases are even more difficult to solve than the serial cases where there are no corpses in Sanhe Village, and such a big case can still wait for the murderer to continue to harm people, or open the coffin for autopsy, and there will be no clues for these small cases once the hour has passed.
After reading the case file, Li Moyi still had no clue, so he simply threw away these disorderly things and went out to play.
…………
…………
In the evening, Li Mo looked back at those cases again and again, but gradually had some ideas in his heart, and he was deconstructing a case by case.
"Knock-knock-"
Suddenly he heard a knock on the door, and he looked up, "Come in." ”
…………
…………
Two days passed, and Wang Mu found Li Moyi again and told him about his state of mind.
When the body was quiet, all kinds of big thoughts erupted in my mind; Sometimes, the mind is in agony that cannot be transformed.
She was about to be confused by these thoughts that kept jumping around.
………
Li Moyi sat down with her quietly, and finally he spoke: "Why are you uneasy?" ”
Wang Mu didn't know the answer, so he had to sit quietly.
…………
"Do you want to succeed or fail as well as someone you know?"
Wang Mu hesitated for a moment before replying, "No." ”
He went on to say, "You have a good mind...... A good tool that has never been used well, and your motivation is also used in the wrong direction. Why are you ambitious? Why should you waste your brain power? ”
Wang Mu's whole person suddenly became vigilant. "Why am I ambitious? Can I change myself? I have to be busy doing some things, accomplishing some tasks, and we can't be like you, Great Scribe Lee. ”
His expression was a little weird.
He remained silent for a long time, and the things that were buried deep in his heart began to appear.
Then he said, "Have you ever been alone?" No books, nothing. Try it and see what happens. ”
"I'm going to go crazy, I can't be alone."
"Try it, to have some one self-reliance, you have to be quiet."
"It is only when you face your oneness that that deep serenity can be generated."
"You're a woman, but you have a lot of men in you, you ignore the part of your own woman, think of yourself!!"
Wang Mu felt a cramping pain in the depths of his heart, and those insensitive shells suddenly shattered. I felt the pain of wanting to cry again.
"You need love, Wang Mu, and you can't get it, why are you holding an iron bowl called Hanako?"
"I never!!"
Wang Mu said, "This is one thing I will never do, I would rather die than beg for mercy." ”
"You didn't ask for it, but you snuffed it off, but the iron bowl was still there......... If your iron bowl is already full, you don't have to take it out. Because it's empty, it's still there. ”
Wang Mu examined himself for a moment.
When she was young, she cried a lot.
After the age of sixteen, she no longer allows anything to hurt herself, and when she is hurt, she will fight back violently.
He said, "If you really have the power to love, there will be no more needs." ”
Wang Mu suddenly saw his sarcasm and ruthlessness very clearly.
She turned to Li Moyi and said, "It's really miserable, what did I make myself look like!" ”
"Self-blame is useless most of the time......... You don't have a smooth sense of abundance in you, and if you do, you don't need anything at all. Why can't you have an inner sense of abundance? ”
"Note that reproach is an action to reinforce oneself through memory from the past. Observe your mental activity, why are you so aggressive and ambitious? Why do you want to be the center of every group? ”
"If you keep an eye on your mind, things that are hidden in the depths will gradually come to light in your dreams, even when you are awake."
After talking for nearly an hour, getting along with him, Wang Mu always felt that there was not enough time.
…………
…………
Li Mo picked up the pen and continued to bury his head in the case file, Wang Mu had not left, he stood there with curiosity, and stretched out his head to look at it for a long time: "Is this the case that Scribe Li wants to handle?" These cases don't seem too difficult. ”
"It's not hard......... Tell me about it? ”
Li Mo raised his head and looked at Wang Mu and said.
Wang Mu said: "I can't see anything from these case files alone, but if you ask the plaintiff and the defendant face to face, you may be able to see who is telling a lie.........
"Really?" Li Mo asked in a deep voice.
"But......... What's the use of knowing that they're telling a lie? Is it possible to catch it directly and hit the board? ”
Wang Mu blinked: "That......... Can I go and see it tomorrow? I also want to see it with my own eyes. ”
Li Moyi paused slightly: "I'm not a county official, you can't go to court with me, but we won't go back to the mansion until the end tomorrow, if you want to go with me, maybe there should be no problem." ”
"Okay." Wang Mu pursed his lips and smiled.
…………
Li Moyi read the file again, and finally went back to the house to sleep.
…………
…………
Early the next morning, Li Moyi first went to the governor's mansion to meet Master Xie, borrowed a few local guards, and then rushed to Nanzhen with a group of menacing guards.
The first thing he had to deal with was a neighborhood dispute, and the plaintiff, surnamed Li Mingshen, sued his neighbor for defrauding him of 500 taels of silver.
The reason is that Li Shen borrowed 800 taels of silver from someone to do business, and wrote an IOU to mortgage the house at that time, Li Shen made some silver back from doing business, and when he returned the silver, he first repaid 500 taels, and the rest were ready to pay back the next time he earned 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 that when Li Shen returned the silver for the second time, even someone suddenly changed his face, and insisted that Li Shen didn't pay back a penny of silver, and asked him to pay back 800 taels of silver in one go.
At that time, the investigators saw that Li Shen could not produce evidence, so he sentenced him to make false accusations, Li Shen was beaten by the board and had to pay back the silver, and he was angry and then sued Lord Xie's house, and it happened that the emperor came to Tianlong Villa on his southern tour, and Lord Xie had to temporarily press the case, so as not to beat this kid out after he went out to block the street and sue the emperor.
All the evidence was unfavorable to Li Shen, but Li Mo just believed him in his heart, a liar would never sue again and again without evidence, and besides, he also asked the local guards who had seen Li Shen and his neighbor Lian Wei.
The guards all thought that Li Shen was an honest man, and his neighbors didn't even look so honest.
Early in the morning, a group of guards suddenly appeared in front of Lian No's door, and they banged on the door of Lian No's house, urging: "Open the door, open the door, open the door!" Something is wrong!! ”
Even if he was sleeping soundly in the house, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, he hurriedly got up and put on his clothes to open the door, and before he could open his mouth to complain, the imposing tolerance had already restrained him to the ground, and immediately tied him up.
"Uncle, what crime have I committed? Why are you arresting me!! Lian Nuo was tied up and thrown at the door for onlookers, several guards from Liling City stood by his side, and the rest of the guards rushed into his room, and in an instant he heard Lian Nuo's daughter-in-law screaming inside: "Thief......... Yes......... Someone, there's a thief!! ”
Soon, a group of onlookers gathered at the door of Lian No, and Li Mo sneered after hearing Lian No's daughter-in-law's words: "Lian No, we are the guards of Liling City, and we came here for you, and your matter has happened!" ”
Wang Zheng's little guard said to the surrounding spectators: "Two days ago, we caught a group of thieves in Liling City, and confessed that they would rob more than 1,000 taels of silver ingots obtained by the victims, and put them in the big nest owner of Dingjia Lane in Tianlong Villa, Lian No's house, so we were sent by adults to arrest Lian Mou and seize the silver, and escort them back to Liling City for trial. ”
The onlookers let out a whoop, and then whispered, but Lian Wu screamed: "Impossible, I was wronged, I am not a thief, I did not harbor silver ingots, I am not a thief!" ”
Suddenly there were cheers from inside the house, and the local guards shouted, "Found it, found the silver ingot!" ”
A guard trotted out and bowed his hand to Li Moyi and said, "Scribe Li, I found dozens of silver ingots in Lian's house, about more than seven hundred taels. ”
Li Mo snorted and said to Lian Nuo: "Lian No, 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? ”
Lian Wei opened his mouth, the only explanation had been said by Li Moyi in a strange and sarcastic way, he couldn't find an excuse for a while, how could ordinary people have so much silver stored at home?
Most of his silver was returned by Li Shen, and for fear of leaving evidence, he didn't dare to take it to Yinzhuang 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.
Li Moyi didn't give him half a minute to think, and continued to ask: "Since you can't tell the origin of the silver, there must be no doubt that the silver was stolen, and now it is the person who has obtained the stolen goods, come here, escort Lian Wei and all the stolen silver found back to the official residence, and wait for the county official Lord Xie to confirm it and immediately escort it to Liling City!" It's a big theft, and if you try to run away, you'll break his legs!! ”
The guards menacingly mentioned Lian No, Lian Nuo only felt that he flew up without his feet, seeing that the familiar door was getting farther and farther away from him, Lian Nuo was only frightened, and couldn't help shouting: "Those are not stealing silver, it is Li Shen next door who returned my silver, that is not stealing silver........."
