Qin Qiong's words made Li Li very happy, and he hadn't heard compliments for a long time. Everyone likes to wear high hats, and Li Li likes it too, but as a parent official at the grassroots level, he doesn't need to wear a high hat, which is related to his personality.

The higher you are, the more you like to be complimented, in fact, a few pounds and a few taels, once you are complimented, you forget who your surname is, and even your own weight. If you want to be an official, you must be a grassroots person, so that you have an official name and practical work to do, why not do it? Many people make mistakes, they are idle and panicked, if they are busy all day, how can they have time to think about evil things?

After Li Li heard about Qin Qiong's case, he was overjoyed in his heart, this person who came from all directions was actually subjected to this incident, and the sky had eyes! It can also be regarded as a reminder, it's not good to be honest too much, he and his younger brother Qin Xun don't seem to be born by the same mother.

However, since the lawsuit is filed, it can be regarded as a case.

Only when there is a beginning and an end is in line with the principle of doing things.

The black-faced man must still be in the market, where is it? In the dark. They are all in the shadows, and wolves that do bad things will definitely run, but they will not leave the place where there is prey.

Tigers too, knowing where to eat, will not leave easily, and if you venture into the sphere of influence of other tigers, I am afraid that it will be dangerous.

Li Li frowned, the idea came up, he asked Qin Qiong to go back first and wait for the news, Qin Qiong said: "My lord, this horse is my lifeblood, I used my savings for many years, I bought it back in Mongolia, people ask for a high price, I sent a lot of iron pots, people are willing." ”

"What do they want the iron pot for?" Li Li asked, feeling very strange.

"They love to eat meat, and they cook meat in an iron pot, and the meat is fragrant. Nothing else works. Qin Qiong said, "It is difficult to buy iron pots locally, only we have them here in the Central Plains, they can't make them, we can." The iron pot has become a fragrant dumpling. ”

"I see! It seems that you still know a lot. Li Li said.

"When you go out, you don't understand and ask, and when you see business opportunities, you can't let them go, otherwise you will see others make money. No matter how red your eyes and heartbeat are, it's useless. Qin Qiong said.

"You're right. Businessmen deserve respect, not all businessmen are treacherous, there are also good ones, the so-called treacherous, it is to deceive good people, if the goods are genuine, they are not profiteers. It is not advisable to kill with a stick, we need a large number of honest businessmen to open shops, only in this way can we make the market lively and convenient for people's lives, why not? Li Li said.

"The adults are open-minded, with the arrangement of the adults, Xiangyang County will be the most active market in the Central Plains, the best place, businessmen gather, some people will have money, there will be money, there will be money, Xiangyang will have a reputation. If you close yourself off and lock the door, engage in your own development, and be self-reliant, I am afraid that you can only barely live, and it is survival, not life. Celebrities in the world dare not come, Xiangyang is a dead city. Qin Qiong said.

"It seems that you still have a level of management. How about making you a city steward in Xiangyang County? Li Li asked.

"This is not good, I better be a businessman. Just buy and sell horses, nothing else is interested, and wherever the business is good, you can do it. Not interested in city management, not interested in being an official. Qin Qiong said.

"It seems that not wanting to be an official means that this official has succeeded in governing Xiangyang County. If they all want to be officials, it means that there is no industry in Xiangyang that can be used to make a living. All want to be an official, which is contempt for labor. Because labor is despised by others, the laborers are not valued, exploited, and have no dignity, and they all want to be officials and continue to oppress the laborers. If everyone loves laborers, they all love labor, and you rely on honest labor to support your family, you don't have to become an official. Being an official is also for eating, drinking, and closing. Li Li said.

"What your lord said is very true! That's what the little ones think. Being an official has to worry, just like parents worry about their children, their hearts that can't be finished, and their hearts that have been spent a lifetime, officials are not so easy to be, and the little ones would rather do something simple, such as being a horse dealer, they are very free and can have income, so why bother to be an official? Those who go to become officials actually have no way out, and those who have a way out are not willing to become officials. Qin Qiong said.

"If the world is peaceful, you will first look at Xiangyang County Taiping, Xiangyang County Taiping, the world will be peaceful, a small county town can see the prosperity or decay of the world, you do business well, promote circulation, let the herdsmen's horses in exchange for iron pots, blacksmiths iron pots for food, or fish, meat and vegetables, are your credit, without you there is no market, without the market, people's lives are very inconvenient." Li Li said.

"Thank you for your recognition of the market. Xiaomin only cares about his own livelihood, like this valuable horse was cheated away, Xiaomin just wants to chase it back, as for the world's major events, Xiaomin can't care, it's the manager's concern, Xiaomin only cares about three meals a day, just care about his own survival, don't let Xiaomin care about the rest, Xiaomin is really not interested. The court is not for the small people, if the small people don't do it for a day, they will starve for a day, and if the small people don't do it for three days, they will die, and no one will care if they die, it is better to do things, if you do it, you will have income, if you have income, you can buy food, and if you have food, you can live. If you want Xiaomin to care about the people in the world, Xiaomin's ability is limited, and she is not in that mood. What Xiaomin cares about, if adults can help solve it, it is the greatest happiness. If it can't be solved, don't talk big, so as not to have a happy scene, everyone is equal, and you don't want to be treated unfairly. Even if there are many unfair things now, Xiaomin hopes that the unfairness will not fall on their own heads, and they can't control it if it falls on others. Xiaomin only wants to eat three meals a day, sleep peacefully at night, not afraid of thieves, not afraid of thieves stealing, and happy every day. That's enough, it's all fiction to say that everything else is false, it's literati and writers who have nothing to do to sing praises of virtue, but in fact, it has nothing to do with our small people. Say long live, in fact, most people don't live to be 100 years old, and the louder they shout, the more big the problem is. Qin Qiong said.

Listening to Qin Qiong's words, Li Li was stunned, where is this what the merchant or the horse dealer said? Is it all too real? A lot of our growth background has the imprint of this aspect, but no one can say it, for fear that if it is wrong, it will be killed.

Now it is still in Xiangyang County, with Li Li in the way, there will be no problems, even if there is a problem, it will take time to reach Jingshi. By that time, the estimate has passed the deadline, and there will be no problem.

Li Li already knew how to deal with the case, after he asked Qin Qiong to leave, he began to arrange it, and found a big man in the death row cell, the appearance resembled the black-faced man, according to Qin Qiong's description, he knew that if this person changed into prison clothes and wore a shawl, from the appearance, it would be easy to be confused with the black-faced man, and it would be good if this effect was achieved.

Li Li asked the officials to put shackles on him, and a wooden sign was inserted on his back, which read: "Chop, cheat the horse thief."

Then, with the prisoners, he sounded the gong all the way to open the way, shouting as he walked: "The deceitful thief has been caught, in order to let the people of Xiangyang live in peace, behead him on the spot." ”

These words were shouted all the way, and everyone knew it.

At the same time, Li Li arranged for the public arresters and officials to take off their official uniforms, change into the clothes worn by ordinary people, shuttle through the crowds on both sides of the road, and follow the prisoner cart slowly until they reached the horse market.

The officials on both sides heard the people talking.

As expected, a servant heard a black-faced man dancing happily next to him, and he was unprepared for a servant dressed as a common man and watching his performance.

He said, "Another unjust ghost is born!" It's so good! Everyone says that Li County is clever, I think hehe, but so, it's not really clever, it's really stupid! ”

"Dude, be careful, be careful when you speak, the wall has ears, someone transmits your words to the county order, and your life will not be saved."

"What am I afraid of? I didn't say anything extraordinary! He is now confused, caught the wrong person, killed the wrong person, isn't he confused? Don't you let people say it if you're confused? Foolish officials do foolish things, I'm fighting for that person! Why do you say that people are horse thieves, have you heard of this crime? Only unlucky, where is there a deceitful horse thief? ”

"It's your ignorance. You see the deception of liars, don't they all carry a horse next to it? It should be a deception horse thief, Li Xianling is not wrong. ”

"Nonsense, you speak for Li County, did Li County pay you a salary? Or what benefits did the Li County Order give you? The black-faced man said.

"Didn't give any benefit! I could swear by it, absolutely not. He is a clean official, where is there any benefit for me? It's good that everyone in Xiangyang County is peaceful and tranquil, and there is no need to fight for any welfare, if the place where you live is more chaotic, even if there are benefits, you don't dare to enjoy it boldly, right? ”

This is also true, however, many people like Xiangyang and think that this place is suitable for human habitation. Our business here is also very good, I really can't bear to leave! The black-faced man said.

"What business are you doing? Why are you reluctant to go? ”

"In the horse business, there is a free market here, everything is free, and the county government doesn't care, but it is very beneficial to us, and I think we can make money by doing horse business here." The black-faced man said.

"I see! It seems that Li County Ling is really clever! Leaving the market alone is a great thing for merchants! How wise! ”

"Isn't that right? We don't always make money anywhere else, we always lose money, and we make money here. The black-faced man said.

"No, why can't you make money elsewhere?"

"Because there's no horse market anywhere else! Hahahaha! The black-faced man laughed.

"You, come with me!" The official spoke, whistling.

After a while, four or five people came over, tied up with all kinds of flowers, and captured the black-faced man alive.

"Express officer! Who are you? Why arrest people? The black-faced man asked.

"You'll find out in a minute. Walk! The man said angrily, and couldn't help but say, and pushed and shoved the black-faced man to the county office.

The people who talked to the black-faced man scattered like birds and beasts, and after a while, seeing that there was no danger, they followed from a distance, and then also went to the county court to hear the trial.

"Are you serious about business?" Li Li asked.

"The little people are horse dealers." The black-faced man said.

"You're a horse dealer? Do you have a companion? ”

"Yes."

"I said a person, do you recognize me?"

"Please."

"Qin Qiong."

"He, Qin Qiong? I don't know. ”

"Qin Qiong, why don't you know each other? He's been selling horses and has never done anything else. Since you are a horse dealer and you don't know Qin Qiong, aren't you really a horse dealer? Li Li asked.

"No, no, no, my lord, there are a lot of horse dealers, I know everything else, it's this Qin Qiong, I suddenly asked, my lord, Xiaomin's brain is not enough, why can't I remember. Really sorry! The black-faced man said.

"No, you're not a serious horse dealer, you're a liar! Say, isn't it? You have to be honest, or you will be punished. Li Li raised his voice and said.

"My lord, I'm not a liar, I'm an honest businessman. Not a liar, adults are angry! The black-faced man said.

The black-faced man knew very well that if Li Li didn't stop being angry, the next step would be to be punished.

In order to avoid suffering from flesh and skin, he first asked Li Li to calm his anger, in order not to be beaten.

"Okay, you say you're not a liar, so who is a liar? As long as you confess who is a liar, the official will let you go! ”

"Really?"

"Seriously!"

"Liars are red-faced men. He just deceived an old man's maxima, jujube red, that horse is so good! The small one cooperated with him, deceived the old man's jujube red horse, and then took advantage of the unpreparedness and slipped away quietly, this was all the idea of the red-faced man, and it had nothing to do with Xiaomin, it was all done by the red-faced man, and Xiaomin just cooperated. Afterwards, Xiaomin did not get any remuneration. The black-faced man said.

"So, Maxima hasn't made a move yet?" Li Li asked.

"Not yet, I'm looking for a buyer, because this horse is so good, no one is willing to buy it at a high price, and the red-faced man doesn't want to sell it cheaply, he just wants to make a sum of money and go home to build a house and marry a daughter-in-law." The black-faced man said.

"Then where is the jujube red horse now?" Li Li asked.

"In Jinjiazhuang. Forty miles from here. The black-faced man said.

"That's easy, if Maxima comes back, the work of a meal or a cigarette will come back. Can you take the catcher to him? Li Li asked.

"That's no problem, Xiaomin is willing to take people there."

"Yes, if you do this, you can make up for it, and the official will not punish you. If you behave well, the official can release you in court, but you must bring back the jujube red horse, and the red-faced man, bring it back together, understand? Li Li said.

"Okay, this natural, no problem. The small one can't get used to his practice, the small one wants to do serious business, and it was he who brought the small people to the evil road, and the small people were educated by the adults and were willing to change the evil and return to the right. The people say that the adults are honest and honest, and the people are very admirable and willing to take the right path. Please give Xiaomin a chance, and Xiaomin will definitely cooperate with the arrest of the suspect. Please rest assured! The black-faced man said.

"Okay, you guys, go and go back quickly, and arrest the criminals, it will be a great achievement, and the local horse market will be more prosperous." What you are doing now is to contribute to Xiangyang, and the people of Xiangyang will remember you. Okay, go for it! Go ahead! Li Li commanded.
