A few hours later.

In the lobby of the inn near the tavern, Li Furen saw several officials who had sneaked into the house.

"How?" He asked a few people with a smile.

Without speaking, several people sat down at the table beside him.

"A hundred taels of silver were found in the jar under his bed, which should be the bribe money you said." An official said to him.

"Did you leave any traces when you searched it?" Li Furen asked.

"No, you can rest assured!" A few humane.

Li Furen nodded.

"What's next?" A few people asked, but they already admired him a little, but they didn't expect him to really accurately guess that the little guy would accept bribes.

"This person is an important breakthrough, as long as he is allowed to confess, this case will be solved." Li Furen said.

Several nodded in agreement.

"If he were caught, he would inevitably quibble that the tavern owner had not bribed him for the money." Li Furen said.

"He'll say he's picked it up." An official errand.

"If that's the outcome, there's no point in us arresting him." Li Furen said with a smile.

Several people looked at him and wondered what his plans were.

"My idea is to trap him first, and then force him to say the result himself." Li Furen said.

"How?" A few people asked.

"Haven't there been a lot of thefts lately, and if you put a theft case on him, how do you think he would explain the source of the money?" Li Furen said with a smile.

Several people couldn't help but look at each other.

"When he returns in the evening, we will find a reason to hunt down the thief and rush into his house to find the money, and he will have no reason to quibble, only to find out the facts." Li Furen said.

"Stealing a few pieces of money can betray him to death, not to mention a hundred taels of silver, as long as he is not stupid, he will honestly confess." An official errand.

"But harboring criminals is also a death sentence, and he may not be honest with him!" Another official frowned.

"Just give him a way to live!" Li Furen said with a smile.

The official looked at him suspiciously.

"You can let him say that he was coerced by the tavernkeeper, so that he will not be charged with harboring criminals, at least his life will be saved." Li Furen said with a smile.

Several people nodded.

"As long as he lives, as long as he is not stupid, he will confess!" Li Furen said.

"Do you mean to act tonight?" A few people asked.

"Talk to the boss when you go back, and the boss will agree." Li Furen said.

"As long as you can solve the case, it's okay to work hard, you can arrange it." Several people said.

Li Furen smiled and nodded.

Night.

In an alley, under the leadership of Li Furen, several officials rushed in with torches directly to the door of the crop boy's house.

"You ...... What are you going to do? As a few people rushed into the room, the little girl who was awakened on the bed looked at them in a panic.

"We chased the thief, and the thief ran into your courtyard and disappeared, you tell the truth, is the thief you?" An official grabbed him by the hem of his shirt and shouted at him.

"No...... Not me! The little guy stammered in fright.

"Search, see if there is any stolen money!" The official pushed him away and shouted.

Seeing that Li Furen's officials directly rummaged through the boxes and cabinets and began to search, the little guy couldn't help but become obviously panicked.

"Little brother, don't panic, we will never wronged a good person, if you are innocent, we will not embarrass you!" Li Furen stepped forward with a torch and looked at his young and ordinary face and smiled.

The little guy just looked at him with a panicked and frightened expression.

Slightly.

As the one hundred taels of silver under the bed of the little servant were searched, the official who found the money said: "There is stolen money here!"

"Take him!" Li Furen immediately and unceremoniously ordered the other two officials.

"Get down!" The two officials immediately unceremoniously pulled the bloodless man out of bed.

"How can he, a man who lives in such a humble place, make such a profit, he must be a thief, bring him back!" Li Furen said.

"Yes!" The two officials are very cooperative.

"Wow......" I saw that the little girl's heart collapsed instantly, and she couldn't help crying helplessly.

"What do you have to say, go to the official prison and say it!" Li Furen said.

"Take the money with him!" Li Furen waved his hand and turned to leave.

An hour later.

In the dark prison with the fire in the brazier, I saw the little servant looking afraid of being tied to a torture instrument on a wooden stake, and Li Furen walked up to him with a whip.

"Tell me honestly, did you steal this money?" Li Furen looked at him expressionlessly.

"No...... No! The little girl shook her head desperately with a sad face.

"Why, you still don't admit it?" Li Furen said coldly.

"Woo, I didn't steal it!" The little guy broke down and cried.

"A total of one hundred taels of silver, you know such a large amount of theft, what will happen to you?" Li Furen asked.

The little girl looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"Stealing more than five times is the death penalty, you are one hundred taels, what do you say will happen?" Li Furen asked.

"Death penalty?" The little guy looked at him blankly, and the tears stopped for a while.

"If you don't confess, we can directly sentence you to theft, do you know?" Li Furen said.

"This ...... It's not stolen, it's given to me by our tavern owner! The little guy who heard the death penalty hurriedly panicked and said to him.

"What?" Li Furen pretended to frown.

"Our boss asked me to throw a corpse into the river, and this is the reward he gave me!" The little guy who couldn't care about anything anymore hurriedly cried and said.

"What a corpse, you name it clearly!" Li Furen shouted.

"The corpse is ......"

A few minutes later, as the little guy explained the things one by one in a panic, Li Furen couldn't help but glance at several officials.

"Be responsible for what you say, I remind you!" Li Furen said to the little guy.

"Really, I don't dare lie to you!" The little guy cried and said.

"But do you know what crime you sin in helping him dispose of his body?" Li Furen asked.

The little guy looked at him aggrieved.

"It is the crime of harboring, and the crime of harboring is also the death penalty!" Li Furen said.

Seeing that his eyes widened and froze, Li Furen said: "But I don't see that you don't understand anything, I can give you a way to live!"

The little guy looked at him.

"If you confront the court, you say that your boss forced you to do it, and he forced you to collect the money, if you don't accept it, he will fire you, you know?" Li Furen said, but he saw that he was simple-minded and planned to let him go.

"Good!" The little guy hurriedly sobbed and nodded desperately.

"Have you recorded all the confessions?" Li Furen asked the official in charge of recording the confession.

"Let him draw it!" The official who recorded the confession handed him a piece of paper.

Li Furen took the look.

"Do you want to arrest the tavern keeper and the deceased's wife now?" An official asked.

"Catch it now!" Li Furen said.

Several people nodded.

Day 2.

Noon.

While Li Furen was looking through other unhandled cases in the office room, Han Ronghu pushed the door and entered the room.

"Father-in-law, the results are out!" Han Ronghu smiled at Li Furen after entering the house.

Li Furen looked up at him.

"The tavern owner and the deceased's wife have confessed, and they will be beheaded after betrayal!" Han Ronghu said with a smile.

"What about the tavern junior?" Li Furen asked.
