Outside the hall, Li Yi took advantage of the time when the official went to pass the word and continued to sort out the logic.

On the side, Sun Cheng said worriedly: "Do you really know the clues to solve the case?" This is a court..."

Li Yi nodded, his eyes fell on the old man Hu who was kneeling on the ground, and then looked at the sword-hugging woman standing in the hall.

He is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, whether it is the old man Hu who has taken care of him or the woman who has taken care of his business, he has it in his heart.

…

In the lobby, Su Wenshan's sharp gaze fell on Li Yi.

"Li Yi, what clues do you have?"

Facing Su Wenshan's long-standing oppression by the superior's momentum, Li Yi adjusted his breathing slightly, and arched his hand: "The grass people can't judge who stole the more than 3,000 taels of silver from Xu Ji Yinpu, but there is a way to prove whether Song Bing's confession is true. ”

Su Wenshan's face was still the same: "How to prove it?" ”

Eyes met Su Wenshan, Li Yi said clearly: "As the adults said in the court before, my court is extremely harsh on the punishment for theft.

If the property is recovered, only the thief will be punished; If it can't be recovered, it is common to steal family plants and even relatives. ”

On the side, the warden who was in charge of the records of the hall worked hard to write a book, recording Li Yi's words.

Li Yi paused slightly, and while waiting for the warden to copy, he sorted out the next words by the way.

"Yu Li, Song Bing's stealing of one hundred taels of silver and three thousand taels of silver ended the same, according to Wei Lu, most of them wanted to fall to the ground. In that case, why would he refuse to confess for the sake of such a result? Isn't he afraid of being tortured by adults? ”

"That's one of them. The second is the situation, if Song Bingzhen didn't want to confess, he wouldn't easily confess to stealing a hundred taels of silver before, after all, he couldn't make up for the amount of silver lost in the silver shop, and his wife and children would be implicated.

In the face of such a method of connection, how could he, as a husband and a father, not be able to understand the interests and not take care of his family? ”

Su Wenshan frowned and said, "This is the evidence you say?" ”

Looking at Li Yi with a cold face, Su Wenshan said indifferently: "The case cannot be judged based on speculation alone, and you are not Song Bing, how do you know what the ignorant person thinks in his heart." ”

After a pause, Su Wenshan continued: "If you just tell this official, you can't clear Song Bing's suspicion. ”

Li Yi glanced at the lime sprinkled on the ground, shook his head and said, "The grass people have no evidence, but they have a way to find evidence and prove that Song Bing did not steal three thousand six hundred taels of silver."

Next to him, Fu Cheng Cui Huai said with a stern face: "You can't play in the court, the case is urgent today, how can you have time to wait for you to find evidence!" ”

After that, Cui Huai came to Su Wenshan and said in a low voice: "My lord, since Song Bing has admitted that he stole the silver on the day of the incident, it is better to ......."

Su Wenshan raised his hand to interrupt Cui Huai's words, stepped forward and said, "Li Yi, let's talk about how to find evidence." ”

In the lobby, Li Yi stood on the ground sprinkled with lime, and his words were clearly audible.

"The evidence is at the feet of the grass people."

…

The court could hear the needle drop for a while.

looked at the ground, and then looked at Li Yi, who was silent.

Su Wenshan's face darkened slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "If you have something to say, don't sell it." ”

Li Yi, who was sorting out his words, did not speak in a hurry, and waited until Su Wenshan urged: "My lord, do you still remember the confession of Song Bing's wife Hu Xiuyun before?" ”

Without waiting for Su Wenshan to answer, Li Yi repeated: "Hu Xiuyun once said that when Song Bing came back to get the ashes, he mentioned to her the silver in the treasury of the silver shop, and then he became greedy, so he instigated Song Bing to steal the silver with the help of the ash bag. ”

"Dare to ask my lord, how many times did Song Bing go home empty-handed to get ashes to the silver shop, and take the ash bag back and forth?"

Su Wenshan asked the official to bring the case file, looked at it carefully and said, "I only went back and forth once."

Su Wenshan frowned, he vaguely sensed what Li Yi was going to talk about next.

Sure enough, the next moment, Li Yi opened his mouth and asked, "My lord, dare to ask how much silver can be contained in an empty ash bag?" ”

Su Wenshan looked at Li Yi, although he expected it, he was still surprised by the other party's awareness.

On the side, Fu Cheng Cui Huai suddenly said: "The number of silver bags in the ash bag is limited, and Xu Ji Yin's shop has lost nearly four thousand taels of silver, and the ash bag taken by Song Bing may not be able to contain it." “

"So as long as you try to find out how much silver a gray bag can hold, you can judge the authenticity of Song Bing's confession!"

Li Yi and Su Wenshan looked at Cui Huai at the same time, but neither of them spoke.

At this time, Cui Huai's mood was extremely high, and the feeling that he was about to identify the authenticity of the case made him very interested.

"Where's the ash bag just now, try it!"

Hearing Cui Huai's words, everyone's eyes fell on the burlap bag that was cut into two pieces on the ground.

At this time, the culprit, Xie Chan, who was holding the sword, said with a slightly red face: "I'll go find an ash bag again!" ”

"Don't bother." Su Wenshan shook his head and said, "Three thousand six hundred taels of silver weighs two hundred and twenty-five catties, and one ash bag is enough to hold it." ”

Looking at the young man whose face was still the same, Su Wenshan suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked, "Li Yi, what else do you have to say now?" ”

"My lord, the grass people said before that the evidence is at their feet."

Li Yi squatted down and dipped his hands in some lime before standing up again.

Spreading his hand, Li Yi's voice was deep and powerful: "The two adults ignored a problem, a problem that is easy to ignore. ”

Su Wenshan looked at the lime in Li Yi's hand, and vaguely felt that he had grasped something, but he was not exact.

Cui Huai couldn't help but ask, "What's the problem?" ”

Not far away, the tall woman standing with her sword in her arms also set her eyes on Li Yi.

"The question is simple." Li Yi patted the white ash on his hand and said, "Song Bing went to the silver shop to repair the door and wall of the warehouse, and since it is a repair, the lime in the ash bag will be used. ”

And Song Bing wanted to transport more than 200 catties of silver in an ash bag, so he had to vacate the ash bag. But the two adults look—"

Pointing to the lime sprinkled on the ground, Li Yi said: "There is still a lot of lime left in the ash bag of Song Bingzang's silver, so in addition to these limes, can the remaining space in the ash bag still hold three thousand six hundred taels of silver?" ”

"Absolutely not!" Su Wenshan was startled for a moment, and then his thoughts were completely unblocked.

Recently, there have been frequent robberies, and he just wants to solve them as soon as possible, but his mind is not as meticulous as usual, and he ignores such a key clue.

These things seem to be just trivial things, but they can verify the facts of the case!

Cui Huai looked at Fu Yin, who showed a sudden expression, and said suspiciously: "My lord, although the remaining space in the ash bag can't hold those silvers, the ashes in this ash bag may not be what Song Bing left that day, and it may also be that he was born later, how can you judge that Song Bing is not lying?" ”

In the hall, the warden in charge of recording the case stopped his pen and had the same doubts.

Xie Chandai, who was holding the sword, frowned slightly, and couldn't figure out the joints.

Su Wenshan glanced at Cui Huai, and was about to answer but suddenly stopped.

Looking sideways at Li Yi, whose face was as usual, Su Wenshan's heart moved: "You come to tell Fu Cheng." ”

Li Yi looked at Su Wenshan in surprise.

Seeing that the other party was no longer speechless, Li Yi pondered for a moment and then said to Cui Huai: "If Lord Fucheng doesn't believe what Song Bing said, you can go to the silver shop to scrape off the materials used to repair the door and wall, and see how much lime is used that day, if nothing else, it should be less than half a bag." ”

Hearing what Li Yi said, everyone in the hall had different expressions.

The suspect Song Bing showed gratitude on his face at this time, and Hu Laohan looked at the young man in front of him in a daze.

Looking at the appearance that seemed to be carved out of a mold, Hu Laohan didn't dare to confirm it for a while.

Li Yi noticed Hu Laohan's gaze and immediately showed a warm smile.
