Cai Lu died.

The gambling stick slipped away, Cai Lu's wife was frightened and lost her claim, and it took a long time before she remembered to report it to Li Zheng.

Li Zheng reported to Jin Shan, Jin Shan sent someone to investigate, but did not find the cause of Cai Lu's death, the time limit had expired, and he only wrote a cause of death hastily and hastily closed the case. However, Jin Shan was unwilling and kept trying to find a way to find the real culprit. Occasionally, I will talk to Li Li and Tang Lu about the case,

There was also no result.

Tang Lu knew it in his heart, and he also remembered Cai Lu's name, in this Ding Si's violent death case, he heard the pretending to say that his wife helped, so he connected it with Cai Lu's case and found the problem.

Later, when the gambler was gambling, because he didn't find out, he had a conflict with someone, and there were many family members, and in the conflict, he was beaten to death, who killed him, I don't know. It's gone anyway. It's a pity that Cai Lu's wife is missing, and she just happened to meet the matchmaker who introduced Gu Cheng to have no wife, so she matched up and married the servant.

After marrying Qi Zuo, she restrained herself, looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and gradually aged and her appearance was no longer glamorous, so she accepted her heart and wanted to live honestly with Qi Zuo. I don't want anything else. However, she always dreamed, and dreamed of Cai Lu, who was bloody, looking for her to die. She is worried morning and night, if no ghost is caught one day, she deserves it, and she has no regrets.

After listening to the words of his wife, he only felt a chill down his spine, and there was a cold wind blowing on his back, and it turned out that the person next to his pillow turned out to be the killer demon king, which was really unbelievable and really dangerous.

He touched his nose and sneezed a few times.

This nose may also be nailed in the future, right? He quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you, sir!" Fortunately, the adults found out in time and saved the little one's life, otherwise, the little one would be the next Cai Lu. ”

"No thanks, as long as you pay attention everywhere, you will find abnormalities, and if you find abnormalities, you can find clues to the case, and with clues, even if it is an old case, you can find the truth. Let the victim be comforted, and the spirit in heaven will be at rest. ”

"How are you going to punish you?"

"Another gambler and concubine has been beaten to death, so there is no need to be held responsible, the case is over, and your wife will definitely be executed by Ling Chi. You can recuse yourself from the case, and when the punishment is over, you can find another good woman to be your wife. You can also stop marrying a wife, the key is up to you. Tang Lu said.

"Thank you for your consideration. The little one suddenly encountered this thing, and he was a little confused, so he still had to stop for a while, and then consider personal problems when he came to slow down. "Said the truth.

He thanked him and left, his wife was imprisoned in Gucheng County, Tang Lu sent someone to inform Jin Shan, and Jin Shan sent someone to Gucheng to escort the prisoner back to Dengcheng. In the letter, Jin Shan was told the details of the case, and Jin Shan was put on death row in Dengcheng without interrogation, waiting for the execution to begin as soon as autumn arrived.

Tang Lu concluded the case and breathed a sigh of relief, if this woman is distracted, she will put her man to death, how terrible! What a painful realization! Women are more powerful than men! On the surface, women are weaker, but in fact they are not, if they hate their own men, no one can stop them, men still have to deal with the relationship with their wives carefully, if they find that something is wrong, it is best to leave quickly, maybe they can save their lives, if they have to win, I am afraid they will be disappointed.

Because many people don't understand this truth, men want to make money, fight for their careers, and pay close attention to the person next to their pillow, otherwise, the biggest danger comes from her, without exception. Men are not real tigers, women are. The so-called companion is like a tiger, it is better to say that a partner is like a tiger. If you are not careful, you will lose your life, this case has too many inspirations, the key is to be careful of the person next to the pillow.

Tang Lu was full of emotion, and then continued to stay in Gucheng, he was at peace with what he encountered, not afraid of any wind and waves.

Someone came to complain, claiming to be from Dengcheng and saying that it was Cai Lu's uncle.

When Tang Lu heard this, he became interested, he knew that Cai Lu was a party to a case handled by Jin Shan, which means that Cai Lu was killed and killed, and as an uncle, he felt guilty and felt that his nephew was killed by a woman, so he couldn't figure it out, because at that time, for the sake of face, he decided to move away from Dengcheng and went to Gucheng, a place where there were not many acquaintances, so as not to be pointed at and uncomfortable.

Cai Lu's uncle left his hometown, and in order to avoid suspicion, he started a small business in the local area to make ends meet.

Who knew that he couldn't get the payment, so he had to go to the county government to beat the drum and complain.

Tang Lu heard that he was from Dengcheng and was doing business in Gucheng, so he was a little interested.

After listening to Cai Laohan's complaint, Tang Lu knew it in his heart.

Cai Laohan said: "Three families are in arrears. Here's the thing: A neighbor named Hou Budan. said that he wanted to buy goods, but the boss of the last batch of goods did not settle, and he did not have the money to settle the purchase boss, and he needed a sum of money. I couldn't borrow it anywhere, so I had to borrow it from Cai Laohan. Cai Laohan was kind-hearted, so he believed him and lent him all his silver. ”

"What about the second neighbor?" Tang Lu asked.

"The second neighbor is called Mayoude, and the third neighbor is called Zhu Jincheng. They both want to help me exchange the goods. ”

"For what?"

They knew that the old man had no silver to borrow here, but he had goods in his hand, and he had no silver, so he couldn't buy them, and now they said that they would exchange the old man's old goods for new ones. As a result, the old man believed it all and let them take all the goods, and now the old man has no money and no goods, and this business can't go on. My nephew was killed, and I came here to hide, why is there such an unlucky thing? Oh my God, that's so unfair! ”

"Did you look for them?" Tang Lu asked.

"I found it, but they didn't admit it. He said that he did not borrow money, nor did he take goods. This is bullying! My lord! The three of them were scoundrels, and they actually seized the old man's silver and goods, the silver was borrowed but not returned, and the goods were also in and out, leaving the old man penniless, and his business was in a quagmire, unable to move, and he had to wait for death. Cai Laohan said.

"You're not old enough to die, don't be so discouraged! The official asked the three people to inquire about the situation. Someone came, and Hou Budan, Ma Youde, and Zhu Jincheng came to the hall to listen to the interrogation. Tang Lu commanded.

The official took the order and left, and after a while, he brought back three people, who were Hou Budan, Ma Youde and Zhu Jincheng.

"You three, do you recognize this old man?"

"Yes, it's our neighbor."

"What does he do?"

"It's a business."

"Have you ever borrowed money from him?"

"Nope." The three of them said in unison.

"Have you ever gone to his house to pick up the goods?"

"Not either." The three of them still said in unison.

It seems that the three of them have reached an offensive and defensive alliance, advancing and retreating together, uniting as one, but they don't want to pay back the money and goods, they just want to take advantage of the old man and put the old man in a desperate situation.

Tang Lu asked: "You say in good conscience, have you ever borrowed money to get the goods?" ”

"My lord, if you want to succeed in business, you must be honest, that is to say, you must pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, if this is not the case, you must also have the contract documents as evidence, so as not to check the lack of evidence and be difficult to trust. Even if it is a loan, there is an IOU, take the goods, there must be a delivery document, or a receipt document, if you owe money, there should be an IOU, if not, it is a false accusation. I also hope that the old man will investigate clearly, and it does not belong to the category of conscience. Many people don't have a conscience, but they are very trustworthy, because they have evidence and certificates, and they can't shirk it. Even if it is a lawsuit, it is necessary to talk about evidence, and without evidence, it is difficult to get support for this case. Hou Buyan said.

Tang Lu pondered for a while, then turned his face and asked the old man, "Listen, what's the problem?" ”

"My lord, Lord Qingtian! The mirror is hanging high, these three people are not people, bullying the old man for not being literate, and what he said is not true, fortunately the old man left a hand and wrote down the account details, please check the old man. The old man said, then took out a scroll of paintings from his arms and presented it to Tang Lu for a look.

When the three of them looked at it, Ma Youde said: "My lord, since it is a certificate, it should be a written one, and if it is drawn, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, and it will not convince people." ”

"Yes, my lord, if you want to convince others, you must verify the truth." Zhu Jincheng said.

Seeing that Tang Lu had nothing to say, Hou Buyan immediately raised his voice and said: "This kind of painting is the work of a three-year-old child's graffiti, it can't explain anything at all, it can't be used as an account, it's not evidence, and adults should dismiss the painting." ”

"What should be done, you don't need to teach me!" Tang Lu replied sharply.

When the three of them heard this, they were all shocked, Cai Laohan felt much more comfortable in his heart, he was still a clean official! Able to speak for the people!

Tang Lu suppressed the three of them sharply, and the three of them did not dare to speak again, so Tang Lu began to study the painting seriously. In the eyes of others, this is a graffiti work, but in fact it still has merit.

Tang Lu saw that although the painting was not well painted and crudely made, the meaning of the painting was already very clear, and the author probably thought so. The image of the painting is recognizable, and the meaning is clear.

"This painting is a real evidence, not a simple graffiti, this is ironclad evidence, you have to deny it!" Tang Lu said.

The three evil neighbors were not convinced, and they did not admit their accounts, but only shouted that they were wronged.

Tang Lu pointed to a painting and said: "Here, there is a monkey with his back against a mountain, eating mountain goods, this monkey is Hou Budan in your name, thick and monkey have the same sound, and your nickname is monkey, isn't it?" You locals know that your nickname is also Monkey. Is this still worth it? Leaning against a mountain, it is to say, you Hou Buyan owes Cai Laohan the silver on credit, and take the silver to enter the mountain goods, this meaning could not be clearer. What else do you have to say? ”

Then, Tang Lu pointed to another painting and said, "This is a horse carrying goods. If there is a baby under the horse's hooves, but the horse bends its legs and does not step on the baby's body, does this mean that the horse is very virtuous? Then, what's on horseback? It's the goods, and this goods are exactly what the horse took away from Cai Laohan's house. Mayud, what else do you have to say? ”

Finally, Tang Lu pointed to the third painting and said: "Look, this pig is eating inside the gate, these foods are not pig food, but things that people eat, this shows that you Zhu Jincheng took the goods from Cai Laohan's house." This has clearly shown that the pig is Zhu of Zhu Jincheng. The horse is Ma Youde's horse, the monkey, and Hou Budan, who has a nickname and nickname of a monkey. The three paintings are proof of what the three of you have done, and this fact is clearly illustrated. ”

The three of them are still a little unconvinced!

In order to convince the three of them, Tang Lu said: "Quickly go and invite the neighbors to come over to hear the trial." ”

The official was ordered to go, and soon, Cai Laohan, Hou Budan, Ma Youde and Zhu Jincheng's neighbors came, and as soon as they saw this situation, they fought for Cai Laohan and said, "Sorry, three bully one." It's not good to do something at a young age, specialize in bullying people! ”

In short, Cai Laohan has received good support, most of them support the weak, and a small number support the strong, and those who want to become strong often need to work harder. Of course, if you have a good foundation, you have to save some effort.

Those neighbors with a sense of justice testified: "The adults, the little ones are willing to testify for Cai Laohan, and prove that two people carried the goods from Cai Laohan's house." ”

"Adults, the little ones are willing to prove that since the two of them, Ma Youde and Zhu Jincheng, took the goods from Cai Laohan's house, Cai Laohan's business has stopped, and it has become worse and worse. The economic situation is dire. ”

"My lord, the old man is willing to prove that one day, I saw Hou Buyan coming out of Cai Laohan's house, beaming with joy and a blanket on his shoulders, and the old man asked him where he came from and where he was going, he said that he came from Cai Laohan's house to buy goods and do business, and there was no silver to buy and use, so he borrowed silver from Cai Laohan, Cai Laohan was so stupid, knowing that this was to rob his business, he also borrowed money, it was really stupid. This time it makes him look good. The old man asked more, didn't he plan to return the silver to him? Hou Buyan said that Cai Laohan was illiterate, borrowed money and had no certificate, and if he didn't pay it back, he couldn't help it, besides, he was a foreigner, and he squeezed him away, and we were all better. Otherwise, how can you say that your peers are enemies, this sentence is right. ”

"Uh-huh, the big ones, the small ones also prove that they do the same business."

"Adults, the little ones are willing to prove that Hou Budan's business is getting better and better, but Cai Laohan's business is getting worse and worse, and it is basically suspended. One has no money, the other has no goods, and no one is on credit. ”

"Adults, small ones are willing to prove that Cai Laohan is getting poorer and poorer, and those three are getting richer and richer."

Everyone is gossiping, very lively!

Everyone looked at Tang Lu, and Tang Lu said to the three of them, "What do you have to say?" Nowadays, there are physical and human evidence, how can you deny it? Say! If you refuse to admit it, then the official will have to let you suffer a little grievance, and it is normal to be beaten, who will let the official be your parent official? If you are a parent, you don't punish your children, you are an irresponsible parent, right? ”

As soon as the three of them saw that Tang Lu was going to come to the truth, they looked at each other, only obediently, but they couldn't deny it, so they actively admitted their mistakes, and calculated the borrowed silver and money in the court, even the principal and interest were clearly calculated, and Cai Laohan was calculated in the court, Cai Laohan admitted the account, and then signed and drew a pledge, Cai Laohan took the money back, regrouped, reopened, and the business gradually began to prosper.
