Chapter 12 Catch the Strong
In the court, everyone waited patiently for the arrest to go to the silver shop for verification.
Oh, the arrester who went to Yinpu returned to the yamen with Wang Jianchun, who went out of the city in the morning to handle the case.
At this time, Wang Jianchun had already handed over the information with his peers and knew the whole story of the ash bag silver hiding case.
"My lord, Cai Tielong, a bandit outside the city, has been beheaded, and is now hanging at the north city gate to show the public."
After Wang Jianchun finished his life, the accompanying warden spoke: "Lord Qiyu, the lime on the door wall of the silver shop warehouse has been scraped off, and there are sixty-seven catties in total. ”
Su Wenshan nodded, "The lime brushed on the wall is heavier than the new lime, and sixty-seven catties of wall ash will only be less when converted into new lime." ”
Looking at Song Bing and his family, who were waiting for the results, Su Wenshan knocked on the startled wood and said loudly: "Song Bing took advantage of repairing the wall to steal a hundred taels of silver from Xu Ji's silver shop, but if he returns it in full, his relatives can be spared..."
Looking at Song Bing, who was full of tears, Su Wenshan sighed in his heart, and then asked the officials to put Song Bing in the Yamen Prison and wait for his release.
Song Bing's suspicion has been eliminated, and Xu Ji Yinpu is 3,600 taels... No, it should be the whereabouts of three thousand five hundred taels of silver that still need to be investigated.
At this point, the scope of the case has been greatly reduced, but the more this is the case, the more difficult it will be to progress the case.
Looking at Li Yi, who wanted to leave, Su Wenshan's mind moved slightly.
"Li Xun'an, don't be in a hurry to leave first, this official asks you, are you willing to assist this official in investigating this case?"
Li Yi, who was about to leave with Hu Laohan, stopped.
Xun'an is his watchword, the warden has already recorded it, Su Wenshan is not surprised to call him like this, but...
"My lord, Xiaomin still has to go to the restaurant to run the hall, and I don't dare to delay for too long. In addition, Xiaomin is just ordinary people, how can they understand such a thing as solving cases and investigating cases..."
On the side, Cui Huaixiao, the governor of the government, said reasonably: "It is the duty of the subjects to assist the government to solve the case and return justice to the world, this matter is the top priority, the matter of running the hall can be put aside temporarily, and you don't have to be modest." ”
"It's not that Xiaomin doesn't know the general situation, it's really shallow, in the end, I'm just a junior who runs the hall, where did I do this kind of fine work."
Li Yi decisively refused, Fu Yin Su Wenshan is not a mediocre person, and people can't solve the case, why can he solve it with his assistance?
Furthermore, is it rare to lose a tael of silver and report a loss of a thousand taels?
If this is the case, he may offend someone if he participates, and who is willing to do such a thankless task, he is not happy anyway!
Instead of wasting time here, it's better to go back to the restaurant and continue to run and increase your career progress...
Looking at the young man who didn't eat oil and salt, Su Wenshan's eyes narrowed slightly.
Since it is not possible to know it, then it is reasonable.
"I heard Wang Zhutou say that the tooth card you only got in early September did not have any identity certificate before. In addition, you also use the convenience of night patrols to bring wine and food to people, can you do these things? ”
Li Yi's face froze, and he looked up at Su Wenshan, who seemed to be smiling.
Gou Guan!
Scolding in his heart, Li Yi suddenly smiled and said: "Xiaomin suddenly figured it out, without everyone's small family, how can the restaurant business be as important as the security of the city." ”
"The little people are willing to do their part for the adults."
Li Yi bowed his hand.
"There is no small family where everyone comes from..."On the public case, Su Wenshan took a light drink and suddenly felt interesting.
This guy is a wonderful guy!
On the other side, Li Yi also deepened his impression of Su Wenshan in his heart.
In the future, you must stay away from this Gou official!
"Xun'an, these are files related to the theft of the silver shop, you can see if there are any omissions."
After taking the file, Li Yi felt quite unlucky in his heart.
Although he has now made part-time work a habit, it does not mean that he likes to work day jobs, and he is still a day job without a name.
After reading the file, Li Yi pondered and said: "Ji Fu, the shopkeeper of the silver shop, is very sure that the silver was stolen on September 16, but according to the dossier, Xu Ji Yinpu was very well defended, except for Song Bing, who was lucky and was not discovered, the relevant people outside the silver shop had no chance to commit the crime that day..."
Speaking of this, Li Yi suddenly said: "Lord Fu Yin, I have often heard that there are many demons and evils in the world, and there are many capable people, is it possible that the theft of the silver shop is related to these existences?" ”
Su Wenshan shook his head and said: "Xie Tieyin has surveyed in the silver shop, and he has not found the demonic qi, as for the capable people, ...... people."
"Xu Jiyin's store is more than three thousand taels of silver, if there are capable people who want to steal silver, how can they only steal these."
"Besides, the city is protected by the Purple Seal, who would dare to enter the city easily among those evil demons?"
Although he didn't know what the 'purple seal' in Su Wenshan's pass was, Li Yi also roughly understood Su Wenshan's meaning.
After a moment of silence, Li Yi said what he had thought earlier.
"My lord, could this case be that Ji Fu falsely reported the amount of lost silver?"
"This kind of thing is not uncommon, if Ji Fu saw that there was a hundred taels of silver missing in the treasury when he checked the accounts, and then he had a crooked thought in his heart, and took advantage of the situation to steal himself......"
"Also, the treasury is an important place, how can Song Bing enter and exit the treasury without anyone to monitor and check, how can he steal the treasury silver so easily."
Su Wenshan looked at Li Yi when he heard this, and was about to speak, when a servant hurriedly came.
"Lord Qiyu, Ji Fu, the shopkeeper of Xu Ji Yinpu, is asking to see you outside the ya."
Wang Jianchun, who was discussing the case with Cui Huai, sighed: "This Ji Fu Bacheng is here to inquire about the case. ”
On the side, Cui Huai said with a strange expression: "Not necessarily, it may also be for his nephew Ji Ping." ”
After all, since Ji Ping was deceived by Fu Yin in the morning for the crime of embezzlement of ink and silver, he has been imprisoned and has not been able to go back.
Ji Fu is Ji Ping's uncle, and if he hasn't seen his nephew go back for a long time, he will naturally come over to ask.
On the public case, Su Wenshan was silent.
After a while, Su Wenshan, who had made up his mind, spoke: "Beat the drum of the ascending hall, ascending the hall!" ”
After a while, the dull sound of drums sounded from outside the hall, and the officials of the soap class rushed to the public hall and picked up the water and fire sticks placed on the wooden shelf.
Li Yi always felt a little familiar when he saw this scene.
The next moment, I saw Fu Yin Su Wenshan slamming the shocked wood, and shouted: "Ji Fu goes to the court!" ”
At this time, Li Yicai came back to his senses, isn't this the method that Su Wenshan used to deceive him before!
Standing with the warden in charge of the records of the hall, Li Yi looked curiously at Ji Fu who was escorted in outside the hall.
"Bold Jifu! You are guilty of lying about the case! ”
Downstairs, Ji Fu looked at the solemn scene in the hall in disbelief.
He just came to ask about Ji Ping's condition, and by the way, he asked about the progress of the case, why was he arrested and tried?
Ji Fu calmed down his thoughts and said with some trepidation: "What do you mean, adult, when did Xiaomin lie about the case?" ”
Su Wenshanwei shouted: "Dare to quibble!" ”
"Your nephew Ji Ping not only confessed to his usual crime of embezzlement of ink and silver, but also exposed your lying about the case and guarding the whole story of your self-theft."
"What else do you have to say!"
Ji Fu's heart was beating wildly, and his forehead was already sweating: "Xiaomin doesn't know what the adults are talking about, Xiaomin only came to the Yamen because he didn't see his nephew go back for a long time, so he ......"
"Flickering words, covering up, you think this official is really easy to deceive!"
"Smack-" The startling wood seemed to be a spring thunder, which exploded the entire court.
"It's not a real recruit yet!"
On the side of the court, looking at Su Wenshan, who was just as he had deceived himself at the beginning, and even surpassed it, the corners of Li Yi's mouth twitched slightly.
Is this Su Wenshan addicted to fraud?
That is, there is no national anti-fraud propaganda in Dawei, otherwise...
