Chapter 164: Fishing for Silver in the Water
Jin Shan already knew that Tan Caizhe had collapsed, but the local people had this habit, that is, they would not admit their mistakes. Even if the evidence is very conclusive, he does not admit his mistakes, and may stick to his opinion until he dies, believing that what he did is right. Such people are very stubborn.
"How? How many years are you going to go to jail? ”
"Adult, don't scare the small, the small one is afraid of the official, don't look at the wind and rain, the helm of the ship goes south and north, that is to fight with heaven and earth, the hand is to capture, the small one is afraid of people, because people's hearts are unpredictable, and it is more unpredictable than the changes in the wind and clouds. If you let the small one drive the boat, if you let the small one make the whole person, it definitely won't work. The little ones don't have that guts. Tan Caizhe said.
"You can hide this little trick from others, but you can't hide it from me, you say, is the silver on the dock?" Jin Shan asked.
When Tan Caizhe heard this, he was frightened, he didn't want to admit it, so he avoided looking at Jin Shan's eyes, but he couldn't help but look at it, and wanted to shake his head, but when he saw Jin Shan's appearance and knew that the matter had been revealed, he nodded.
"Yes, my lord, my lord is really powerful, and he knows where the little one hides the silver." Tan Caizhe said.
"Come on, go to the small north gate wharf to salvage the silver. Whoever catches the silver will be rewarded. Jin Shan commanded.
Jin Shan was too lazy to take Tan Caizhe there, so he put Tan Caizhe in prison and waited for his fate.
Jin Shan and Li Li organized people to salvage the silver, and sure enough, they found a small box at the Xiaobeimen Wharf, and when the small box left the water, it kept dripping until they opened the lid of the box and saw that it was white silver.
Shi Fude was excited as soon as he saw the box, and shouted: "Yes, this is it, it's this box." ”
When he opened it and saw the silver, he was completely relieved, and the other traders on the same ship were also very happy, after all, the case was solved, and it had nothing to do with him, so he could go boldly with confidence, live what he wanted, and do business what he wanted.
These are all good.
Shi Fude was even more happy, and he had to take ten taels of silver out to Li Li.
Li Li didn't accept it, he gave it to Jin Shan, and Jin Shan didn't accept it, there was no way, Shi Fude gave ten taels of silver to the person who got the silver as a bounty, this Jin Shan and Li Li had no opinion, which was equivalent to a bounty for Jin Shan, and they were all happy.
Tan Caizhe was sentenced to ten years in prison by Li Li, and the assassination was matched with 3,000 miles, because Tan Caizhe did this case, the victim was Shi Fude, found it here, and at other times, Tan Caizhe also did it many times, some remembered, some forgot, no matter what, he was nominally a boat runner, in fact, he stole a lot of silver, and after he succeeded, he sank under the wharf, and after all the merchants left, he looked for a chance to take it back.
He relied on this income, far more than the income of the running boat, much more than the wages he earned, he had this way to make money, made a lot of money, and when he finished the last one, that is, Shi Fude's one, this is a big order, after this single is done, he will wash his hands in the golden basin and no longer do what he did when he was young and frivolous.
Who knows that people are not as good as the sky, and in the end, they were careless in Jingzhou, most of them were completed, and only one point was left to be completed, and who knew that in the end, they lost all the games.
That's what went short.
His life has been rewritten since then, and the loss of troops will be at the small north gate of Xiangyang.
Also, in the past, strong winds and waves passed by, and I walked through the Hanshui Yangtze River, but in the small wharf, there was no wind and no waves, and the boat capsized, which is really embarrassing.
All his silver, all stolen goods, was to be confiscated, and in addition to that, he was to be fined, which is called beating and punishment.
Li Li sent his family's silver, as long as it was obtained by this means, it was all stolen silver, and it had to be confiscated from the treasury, and if the victim could be found, he would return it to the victim, and if it could not be found, it would be handed over to the state treasury.
This practice has existed for a long time, that is, there is basically no money to be made, and the confiscation of the stolen silver is not counted, but it is necessary to take out their own capital, that is, the hard money obtained by running a boat on the Han River, and they must also be taken out to pay a fine. Inside and out, it's a big loss.
Li Li is very happy, this case is completely solved.
Just about to relax, someone beat the drum to complain. Li Li hurriedly ascended to the hall and asked the drummer: "Who is kneeling?" ”
"Xiaomin Gou Jianfu."
"Where?"
"Xiangyang people."
"Whom?"
"Sue my neighbor Lu Maodai."
"What to sue Lu Maodai?"
"My lord, sue him for stealing the watchdog of the small people."
"What's going on?"
"The small people are poor, they live next to Lu Maodai's house, they are his neighbors, they have nothing valuable, the people's livelihood is difficult, there is no craftsmanship, there is not much money, there is no money and they are afraid of thieves, and the thieves are not empty, so they raised such a watchdog, which is to protect the only little food that the small people have, and if there is no food, they will starve to death. This food is still obtained by working for people. Gou Jianfu said.
"Can you be sure that Lu Maodai stole your dog?" Li Li asked
"Sure. It must be him, Xiaomin's dog only cares for the yard at home, never goes to other homes, unlike other dogs, Xiaomin's dog is very loyal, let it be at home, it doesn't go anywhere, it is most likely to go to the neighbor's house, Lu Maodai has the heart to eat dog meat, so he took the opportunity to catch Xiaomin's dog, kill it, peel and stew meat to eat. Gou Jianfu said.
"Then are you sure that there are no dogs in Lu Maodai's family?"
"Sure. His dog is not well raised. ”
"Why can't you raise it well?"
"Because his daughter-in-law is very powerful, a powerful woman can't raise a dog, and as a result, his family has raised dogs many times, but they all ended in failure. He likes dogs very much, knows dogs very well, Xiaomin's dog, he must be familiar with it, and lures Xiaomin's dog to his house, and then kills and eats it. Gou Jianfu said.
"He doesn't have a dog, no male dog and no female dog, what to lure your dog to his house?" Li Li asked.
"Lord Qiyu, our dog is docile and honest, he will be like this to acquaintances, and he will be very fierce to living people, this is all known, I don't know what method or means he used to introduce Xiaomin's dog into his yard." Gou Jianfu said.
"Nonsense, your evidence is not valid, you can't convince the official, what evidence is there? Quick as it gets. Li Li said.
"My lord, also, Xiaomin has been around for a long time, and he smelled the smell of meat wafting from Lu Maodai's house next door, which is mouth-watering." Gou Jianfu said.
"Nonsense, the neighbor is not only his family, whoever makes meat, will have the smell of meat, what evidence do you have for just talking about his family?" Li Li asked.
"My lord, there is evidence, that is, Xiaomin is looking for my dog everywhere, I can't find it anywhere, passing by Lu Maodai's house, I inadvertently saw that the gate of Lu Maodai's yard is closed, usually this is not the case, usually the door is open at this time, Xiaomin knows, Lu Maodai generally gets up early, and then cleans the courtyard, alone Today is abnormal, Xiaomin knocked on the door, and sure enough, he opened the door, and when he looked at it, he saw Xiaomin's dog's dog skin on the ground, and the pot was still tumbling with dog soup. As soon as Xiaomin saw it, he knew that it was Xiaomin's dog, and he was distressed at that time, feeling sorry for my dog, it was Xiaomin's negligence that made the dog become the broth in someone's pot. It's so miserable. Gou Jianfu said.
"Did you really see the dogskin?"
"Seriously."
"See the dog meat in the pot?"
"See. It's fragrant! ”
"Then what was Lu Maodai's reaction at that time?"
He was very panicked at that time, and when he saw Xiaomin, he showed a look of guilt, and Xiaomin asked, did you see Xiaomin's dog? He pointed to the dog skins on the ground and the dog meat in the pot. Say, it's there. When Xiaomin saw it, he was anxious and asked, did you kill it? He nodded, acknowledging that he had done it. The little man got angry, so he grabbed him by the collar and asked him why he was doing this? He said he couldn't help it. Xiaomin asked him why he couldn't help it? He said his wife wanted him to do it. ”
"Confused, doesn't he know it's a crime?" Li Li asked.
"Yes, Xiaomin also said the same, he said that he couldn't control so much, knowing that it was illegal to do so, and it was forbidden by law to slaughter the dogs of the neighbor's guard yard, and if he committed it, he would be severely punished, because he broke the law and killed the object of legal protection." Gou Jianfu said.
"What happened then?"
"He confessed to stealing and killing Xiaomin's dog, and asked him to compensate, but he had no money to compensate, Xiaomin had no choice but to beat the drum to complain and ask the eldest master to uphold justice for Xiaomin."
"What do you want to do to be fair?"
"Adults have a lot of experience in handling cases, and they can be caught. The people just want to get a fair verdict. ”
"Okay, come on, go catch Lu Maodai." Li Li commanded, throwing out a warrant stick.
Caught quickly received the order and rushed to Lu Maodai's house, Lu Maodai looked at the tolerance, his body began to tremble, he wanted to escape, but there was no way to escape, there were government approvals everywhere, wanted orders to arrest people, it is estimated that it is difficult to escape.
Rather than this, it is better to tie his hands and arrest him, he is very smart, and he knows that someone is going to arrest him, so he is very cooperative. However, he was still frightened, and he was taken to the county court.
"Who is the one who kneels?"
"The little one's name is Lu Maodai."
"Do you know why I arrested you?" Li Li asked.
"Yes."
"Why did you arrest you?"
"Because killing dogs and eating meat. But, sir, the little one was caught here before he could eat it. ”
"It's really useless, you've broken the law by killing a dog, and you're still thinking about eating."
Thank you for pointing out the small mistakes. In fact, the little ones don't understand, why is it wrong to treat the sick and save people? Lu Maodai asked.
"What the hell is going on?"
"The little one's wife is sick, and the mouth is tasteless, maybe the body is weak, cold, and needs to be heated, so she has to eat dog meat, because the little one has no dog at home, and the little one is also in trouble. Be at one's wits' end. also suffered a vicious scolding from his daughter-in-law. ”
"That's because you have no way to govern your family, and you're afraid that your daughter-in-law will reach such a point, and you still have the face to tell here."
"My lord, this is fate! The little one didn't expect to marry a! In the past, love and love were not like this, but now the changes are obvious and humiliating. Lu Maodai said.
"Your life is not good, you should also understand the basic law of the land, don't you know that it is illegal to hunt and kill other people's dogs? This is a truth that three-year-old children know, you can't steal other people's things, even if you die poor, you can't be a thief. Li Li said.
"The little one understands this truth, but the daughter-in-law is a poisonous tongue woman, the little one can't stand it, if she doesn't satisfy her, she will be endlessly entangled with the little one, and it will make the little one feel bad and very painful." Lu Maodai said.
It turned out that Lu Maodai was very honest, he was a well-known honest person, he couldn't beat a fart with three sticks, he spent a lot of money to marry a daughter-in-law, but he was very happy.
His daughter-in-law is handsome, slender, and has a spicy personality, and belongs to the typical extroverted woman.
In this case, he seems to have picked up a treasure, very happy, many people said, good cabbage let the pig arch, indeed, he is an honest pig, quietly arch the cabbage, happy with himself.
Who knows that after marrying a daughter-in-law, she will lose her position as a mother, and her daughter-in-law will become the queen of the family, because she is handsome, very proud, quite domineering, and she says everything at home, Lu Maodai obeys him, never dares to speak hard, and never says a "no" word.
Two days ago, Lu Maodai went out to work, he has a good carpenter work skills, carpenters are popular everywhere, his work one after another, always busy, others are busy outside, always worried about his daughter-in-law, worried about what will happen, recently always eyelids jumping around, feel bad, so he quit a few jobs, and then come home, see his daughter-in-law sick in bed, he is very distressed, ask long and short, and don't know how to serve, his heart is very flustered, and very helpless, I don't know how to be good.
Lu Maodai also has a skill, that is, he cooks a good dish, he is busy with it, his daughter-in-law is very happy, others are outside, thinking about home, that is, worrying that his daughter-in-law has not eaten, because his daughter-in-law is very lazy, she does not like to go to the kitchen, she is afraid that the smoke will spoil her face, busy with housework to make her waist thicker, in short, there are a lot of reasons to be lazy, because people are beautiful, and their speech seems to be very reasonable.
Lu Maodai follows her in everything, in case she doesn't want to cook and eat, she goes to the restaurant, it's nothing more than that he can earn back the money for a restaurant by doing more work. He is not distressed, and his daughter-in-law is not distressed, anyway, Lu Maodai is a long-term meal ticket, and if he has no food to eat, he will find it, and the meal ticket is there, as long as Qingshan is there, he is not afraid of no firewood.
Lu Maodai prepared a table of sumptuous meals to serve his wife to eat, his wife pushed the dishes, put down the chopsticks, did not eat, said that she had no appetite, and said: "This is a gynecological disease, it belongs to typhoid fever, and it needs calories to reconcile. ”
"Wife, we don't have a dog at home, where can we get dog meat for you to eat?" Lu Maodai asked.
"You're dead! We don't have a dog in our house, don't you often have a dog come to our house? His daughter-in-law said.
"Yes, that's the neighbor Gou Jianfu's dog."
"Originally, his dog, how good it grows, very strong, it is a big supplement to eat, it may not get better if you don't eat it, you must get me food." His daughter-in-law said.
"How's that going to work? People's dogs are guarded by the guards, and if they eat them, it is illegal, and if they eat them, we will all go to jail. Lu Maodai said.
"You don't have to go to jail, because it's all neighbors, and the dogs usually run out, and the neighbors don't think that they won't see them at the neighbor's house, you know, the more dangerous the place, the safer. How do you know if you don't try? His daughter-in-law said.
"This can't be done, it's a big risk, you're going to put me in jail! Anyone who kills a dog will go to jail, especially if the dog in the nursing home is protected by law, which is something that three-year-olds know! ”
