Chapter 69 The Barrel Case, Famous Far Away. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Back in Wudang County, before Li Daoyi and Wang Gui separated, he instructed Wang Gui to let him make more use of the resources and channels at his disposal to help Shajiabao develop commerce.
Wang Gui naturally agreed.
Farewell to Wang Gui, Li Daoyi went to Wudang County. As soon as he walked outside the county office, he found that Luneng was sitting in the public court to hear a case, and Li Daoer was standing aside with more than a dozen family members borrowed from Wang Gui and holding a killing rod as a servant.
In addition to the county government, there are also a large number of ordinary people in Wudang County who came to see the excitement. After all, this is the first case to be tried publicly after Li Daoyi and Luneng took charge of Wudang County, so they all want to see if the newly appointed county magistrate and his assistant officials have real talent and learning.
Obviously, Luneng will definitely disappoint them.
It turned out that the case was about a vinegar vendor, Li Suan, suing a liquor vendor Liu Zui for stealing his own wooden barrel. And the drunken hawker who sold wine didn't admit it, not that the vinegar vendor Li Sour was falsely accusing himself, and the wooden barrel originally belonged to his family.
Luneng is good at fighting, but his brain is not very good. Therefore, this case gave him a headache for more than two days, and it has not been resolved.
Li Daoji didn't figure out who the barrel belonged to.
When Lu Neng saw that Li Daoyi was back, he immediately stepped down from the position of the chief of the court as if relieved, grabbed Li Daoyi's sleeve like a life-saving straw, and then pulled Li Daoyi to the position of the chief of the court and sat down, and said: "This is the real Qingtian master! The miscellaneous family is just a martial artist, and he doesn't know anything about trying cases and handling government affairs!"
Li Daoyi smiled bitterly and sat down to listen carefully to the statements of the prosecution and defense.
After Li Daoyi listened to the content of the case, he immediately remembered a brainteaser-like problem that he had read before, and through that question, Li Dao thought of the solution to the case in an instant.
Seeing that the vinegar seller and the wine seller were still arguing in the courtroom. Li Daoyi smiled and said, "Hand over that barrel and let the official take a look." ”
A member of the Wang family immediately brought the wooden barrel that had been sent to the county government office to Li Daoyi.
Up to this point, the two peddlers were still holding their heads high, indicating that they were the ones who were right. But then, when the liquor seller saw the actions made by Li Daoyi after getting the wooden barrel, his head was immediately stunned and he almost fainted.
Liu Zuizui knew that he had forgotten to wash the barrel, and now he was exposed.
Looking at the public hall again, Li Daoyi picked up the wooden barrel, put it next to his nostrils and smelled it slightly, and suddenly a pungent sour smell choked him twice. At the same time, there is also an accurate conclusion about who owns this barrel.
"Liu Zuizui, you said that this wooden barrel has always been your home, but why is there a strong sour smell in it? As far as I know, only a wooden barrel filled with vinegar will have a strong sour taste! Hehe, Liu Zuizui, how do you explain this problem?"
"Yes, why does that wooden barrel smell sour? My vinegar barrel only smells sour! And your wine barrel only smells of alcohol!" Li Sour suddenly accused.
After Li Daoyi and Li Sour asked this question, Liu Zuizui immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said: "Go back to the master! I was wrong! I was greedy for a small advantage, and when there was no one in the Li family, I stole his vinegar bucket! I know that I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it in the future! I hope that the master will forgive my sins!"
The case between Luneng and Li Dao that had not been solved for two days was solved by Li Dao in a minute or two. The ordinary people who watched the excitement outside were all shocked, and in addition, they also wanted to know what Li Daoyi's final punishment for Liu Zuizui would be. ...,
According to the extremely harsh laws on the Warring States Continent, the big thieves will be executed, and the small thieves will be confiscated. Therefore, if Li Daoyi acted in accordance with the law, then this wine seller should be sent to the Jingzhou border and go to the border to farm.
Liu Zui was still kowtowing under the court, he knocked out the blood on his forehead, and then cried: "Master, the villain made a big mistake only because he was confused for a while! Please let the master be able to take it lightly! The villain has an eighty-year-old mother in the family who has no one to support, and if the villain is assigned to the frontier, the villain's mother will definitely starve to death!"
Li Daoyi thought about it for a while, and felt that stealing a wooden barrel and putting it in the twenty-first century really didn't even count as a big fart. Moreover, this is the first time he has sentenced a prisoner. So, as soon as his heart softened, he said: "Liu is drunk! For the sake of your old mother who has no one to support you, this official will only sentence you to be imprisoned in a prison cell in Wudang County for half a year! However, you must sincerely repent, and if you dare to commit it again, you will definitely be guilty of one more degree, and you will never forgive!"
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
"Alright, that's the end of it. ”
Li Suanan took back his vinegar bucket and left with great gratitude. The crowd outside the county office also dispersed. However, Li Daoyi's ingenuity in skillfully handling the "barrel case" and his magnanimity and benevolence at the time of sentencing became the talk of the people of Wudang County after tea and dinner, and slowly spread throughout the Warring States Continent.
After closing the yamen, Li Daoyi walked into the study to read. Recently, he was ready to stay in Wudang County, waiting for the county test, the martial arts test and the ensuing election two days later.
To be a good leader, you don't need to be smart, but you need the ability to use people.
Just like Liu Bang, if the truth of history is restored, he is a hooligan, but this biggest hooligan in history has won the world from Qin Shi Huang Rongma all his life by virtue of his ability to use people. Therefore, after the election, there will naturally be a number of outstanding talents in the county government. At that time, Li Daoyi only needs to make reasonable use of them, and he will not be entangled in various cases and government affairs in the yamen.
Li Daoer found that Li Daoyi had entered the study to read, and immediately like a dog, he wagged his tail and brought tea and water to Li Daoyi. In the past few days, when Li Daoyi was away, Li Daoer was not bad in Wudang County, he first had a good relationship with Luneng, and then privately got acquainted with a large number of rich people in Wudang County, and also used Li Daoyi's outdated status to collect a lot of money.
Li Daoyi naturally guessed these things in his heart.
So, Li Daoyi prepared to let Li Daoer leave Wudang County temporarily. He thought about it and felt that Li Daoer was quite shrewd in business, so he said, "Second child." I told you a few days ago that it is only temporary for you to stay in the county office to do chores. So, I've now found the right fit for you. ”
"What is the position?
"Shajiabao has been preparing to vigorously develop commerce recently, and I am ready to send you to Shajiabao to serve as a business advisor to Lord Wang Xiangbao. ”
Consultants are think tanks that are responsible for giving opinions and ideas, and have no real power.
"What? Leave Wudang County? No! I just had a good life for a few days, how can I just leave?"
“... It's not a request, it's an order!"
