Chapter XXIII: Three Cases in a Row (5)

The owner of the antique shop saw that the situation was not right, so he had to tell the truth.

"Adults, small ones are also fascinated by ghosts for a while. Someone in Chiling Village sold a batch of old objects, and I smelled it and went. Indeed, there are many old-fashioned tables, chairs and benches, which must be sold at a good price if they are sold in a big place. So the small one bought a batch of tables and chairs at a high price, but this morning he heard that Chiling Village was stolen, and the small one was weak in his heart, so he wanted to make a move as soon as possible. The little one was afraid of an accident and wrote a temporary business note, but he didn't think about it or was seen by the adult. ”

Di Renjie squinted his eyes and listened carefully to the confession below, so that he knew it in his heart. But the owner of the antique store does not mention who he is trading with, and he must ask for the truth.

"Owner, you said that you traded this batch of items with someone, so who is this person, and you can meet each other?" Di Renjie asked.

"Lord Hui, I have never seen this person, I only know that the object in his hand was stolen from Chiling Village, and I don't know anything else, I hope my lord will see it."

Di Renjie expected that this person would know so much, and he didn't dare to hide anything.

"Well, what other illegally obtained items in your house should not be concealed, if it is verified that the two crimes are one, do you know?"

"Yes, my lord. There are still more than a dozen pieces in the small family that have not been sent back immediately, and I am not guilty of the small ones! ”

"Toot! Bold, how can you be innocent of hiding dirty things, you go back first, and then talk about what crime you will convict when the case is closed! Di Renjie said angrily.

The owner of the antique shop left temporarily, and at this moment, Liu Zhu hurriedly entered the lobby and whispered a few words before Di Renjie approached. Di Renjie's eyes lit up, and he said to himself: "It's not useless to wait for the rabbit. ”

After a while, several native soldiers escorted one person into the lobby, and the two native soldiers each kicked the person's leg and stomach, and pressed him to the ground.

Liu Zhu quickly stepped forward and arched his hand: "I ambushed around Chiling Village on the orders of the adults, but after half an hour, I saw that this person was ghostly and didn't know what to look for outside the village, and the small one followed behind." As a result, he followed an abandoned vegetable cellar and found more than 100 ancient books, calligraphy and paintings. So he brought him to the court and asked him to be interrogated. ”

Di Renjie slapped the shocked wood hard: "Who is kneeling in the hall, who sent you to steal the ancient books of Uncle Hu's house, and if you don't tell the truth, you will be punished!" ”

"Don't mind, don't mind, I said. The small one is also from Chiling Village, whose name is Liu Er, and it's none of my business here, I was also instructed to do it. ”

"Oh? Commanded, by whom? ”

"Hmm... Well.. ”

"Come on, let's hit fifty boards first, and see if he still dares to play tricks!" Di Renjie deliberately frightened.

"Don't fight, I said, it was Li Zheng who told me to do this, woo woo!" Wang Er was already so frightened that he cried.

Di Renjie smiled, and he had long suspected that Chiling Village was right, why he was not there on the night of the crime, but falsely claimed that he was out to meet friends, which was very suspicious.

First asked Liu Er to avoid, Liu Yu quickly took a lot of local soldiers to bring Chiling Village to the public court, and when he arrived at the court, he knelt down, looked at Di Renjie in the hall and asked suspiciously: "My lord, I don't know if bringing me here is to catch the thief?" ”

"Yes, the thief has been caught, and it's right in front of me." Di Renjie said coldly.

Li Zheng smiled: "I'm right, it must have been done by Liu Wu, the gatekeeper, so that all the lost objects in our village can be recovered." ”

"Hehe, you think it's beautiful, the thief who stole the object is you--Lord Lizheng!" Di Renjie pointed to the point.

Li Zheng was taken aback, "Wronged, adults can't make such jokes." The small one has neither the time nor the motive to commit the crime, and I hope that the adults will investigate it in detail. ”

Di Renjie smiled: "That's right, you didn't have the time to commit the crime, but it doesn't mean that you didn't have a motive for committing the crime." Who do you see he is? ”

Li Zheng looked back, and it turned out that Liu Er walked out of the barrier, stood close and bowed his head and said nothing.

"Okay, you are a wrongdoer, it turned out that you betrayed me, and today I want your life." Ri is rushing over like crazy to fight hard.

Liu Zhu quickly stepped forward and hung Li Zheng's wrist with a golden wire, and shook his hand to throw him out.

The human and material evidence are all there, and Li Zheng has put down his righteous body and revealed his original appearance.

It turned out that Chiling Village was addicted to gambling and owed a lot of foreign debts, and the creditors blocked the door to ask for money, and if you don't pay back the money, be careful of the lives of your family of ten.

Li Zheng really couldn't think of a better way to get money, so he started the idea of antiquities in the village, colluded with these creditors to steal the village's objects overnight, and faked an accident to avoid suspicion.

Di Renjie analyzed the case, cleared his mind, punished them separately, and returned the objects to the top fifty boards in Chiling Village. Liu Er collaborated to commit the crime, and the big board was twenty. The owner of the antique shop was fined 50 taels of silver. And the creditors were not spared, and they were each fined ten taels of silver. The case is understood.

The twilight was dim and the sun was setting. Master Luo said: "My lord, it's not early to see that it's not early, it's better to leave the hall early to rest." ”

"Hmm... Don't worry, please go and shout again, is there a lawsuit, this official will interrogate the last case! Di Renjie said without hurrying or slowing.

In the middle of the conversation, two women broke into the outside, one dressed in gorgeous costumes, twisting and shaking. One was coarse cloth clothes, and both of them knelt in the lobby and saw Di Renjie. Among them, the woman in coarse cloth clothes knelt in the middle crying: "My lord, the little girl has grievances and hopes that the adult will be the master!" Another gorgeous woman also shouted that she was wronged. There is also an extra pocket on the ground, and it should be a bag of copper coins listening to the sound.

Di Renjie was still the first woman to interrogate, but it was a little unnatural.

"The two eldest sisters, who are not at home with husbands and children, why do they show up in court alone?"

The coarse cloth woman put away her tears and said: "My lord, the people's daughter is really helpless, the husband is sick and bedridden, there is an elderly mother to serve, and a pair of children are waiting to be fed, and the only labor in the family is the people's daughter." However, thanks to the help of the neighbors, the women of the people make a living by dealing in haggis in the market, and their lives are also passable. No, the folk girl worked hard to sell the miscellaneous pieces for more than a year, saved two big money, and handed it over to a distant relative for me to keep for me. At the end of the year, it was my mother's birthday, and the girl wanted to take the usual money to organize the banquet. Unexpectedly, distant relatives wanted to swallow the money, saying that she refused to take it out. ”

Di Renjie just couldn't get used to listening to these trivial things, how could the poorer he was, the more he was bullied, and sighed.

The gorgeously dressed woman on the side stopped doing it and retorted: "Master, don't listen to this slut's nonsense. Our family made a living by lending money, and it was not easy for us to accumulate so much money. This slut is said to be her family, isn't it out of nowhere! ”

After Di Renjie understood what was going on, he didn't hurry or slow, came to the hall with his hands behind his back, walked around the two of them twice, and stared at the money bag on the ground, his eyes rolled and he thought about it.

Notice: I will study and stop for two days. Thank you.
