Chapter 15 A stick of incense
"It's not me, it's not me!"
Qian Xiucai panicked.
"It's not you, who is it?" Li Mu shouted: "It's not you, who will kill people and kill people!" Give me evidence of your alibi, and give me a reason why you were wronged?"
Suddenly, Qian Xiucai was speechless.
In this era, as long as the case is reasonable, there is no need for hard evidence. If evidence is needed to decide a case, most cases cannot be adjudicated, and the county order is all day long, and there is no need to do anything.
It is also reasonable and legal to impose a sentence for the sake of evidence.
"Come on, tie it up, and escort it to the county office!" Li Mu shouted.
Suddenly, Qian Xiucai was tied up and left the Qian family directly. On the eve of leaving, as if thinking of something, Li Mu stepped forward and picked up the bowl and took it away directly as evidence.
returned to the county government and issued an order, so Sun Jiachen was acquitted, and Qian Xiucai entered prison.
When he arrived at the county office, looking at the bowl, Li Mu fell into deep thought, "The evidence is still insufficient, although the evidence is insufficient, it can be convicted, but it is still missing." There are fingerprints at night, with the fingerprints of the maid Xiaocui, with the fingerprints of the murderer, if you can directly rub the fingerprints, it will be more perfect!"
"But without modern equipment, how to rub fingerprints!"
Li Mu was thinking about it.
On the Blue Star, you need a fingerprint mold to rub fingerprints, and the most rudimentary ones also need tape to rub fingerprints, but now all props are lacking, and it is difficult to rub fingerprints...... One could even say that it is an almost impossible task.
"How!"
Li Mu thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't think about it.
Suddenly, the footsteps of the servants came.
Li Mu looked up and saw Sun Jiachen appearing, as well as his daughter Sun Mengxi. Although they were a little mentally depressed, they were in good shape at the moment, because they were acquitted.
"Meet your lord!"
Sun Jiachen knelt on the ground, and Sun Mengxi also knelt on the ground.
"Get up, you are wronged!" Li Mu said: "This official said, I will not wronged any good person, nor will I let go of any bad person!"
"Parents, wash away the grievances of the little people, how can the little people have fun!" Sun Jiachen said: "This is 30,000 taels of silver, please accept it!"
As he spoke, he took out 30,000 taels of silver tickets and gave them directly.
Poof!
Li Mu was also speechless.
What a wonderful time.
On the Blue Star, if the court made an erroneous judgment, it was said that compensation should not be made, and the yamen wronged people, or regardless of 3721, and directly beat them, but compensation did not exist, but Sun Jiachen sent 30,000 taels of silver.
"This, this official, I'm embarrassed to accept it!" Li Mu said, he was very thick-skinned, but he was also red and panicked at the moment.
Sun Jiachen said: "Master, this is not for you, but the road in the county town has not been repaired for a long time, and it is time to repair the road, this is for the people to repair the road, not for the lord!"
It sounded good, but it fell into Li Mu's wallet, and it was not up to him to say it.
"That's it!" Li Mu nodded and accepted the 30,000 taels of silver tickets.
After all, he underestimated the power of the county order.
In the eyes of later generations, the county order is just a seven-grade petty official, and it seems to be very worthless.
But in this era, the power of the county order is very great, and the so-called county order of copying the family is the history of the assassination of the door.
Raiding homes and destroying doors is a common thing for county orders.
When a county magistrate takes office in a certain place, if he does not do the work of raiding his family and destroying his family, how can he deter the local snakes, how can he collect taxes, and how can he be worthy of the reputation of his parents' officials.
If he didn't accept it, Sun Jiachen would be restless.
Watching Li Mu accept the silver ticket, Sun Jiachen breathed a sigh of relief, it doesn't matter how much money you make, the important thing is to enjoy the money.
No matter how much money you have, you're a bastard, and if you don't have a life, everything is in vain. The fact that the eldest lord accepted his money at least proved that the eldest lord did not want to kill pigs now, but just wanted to shear sheep.
Now, he's safe.
"Master, the little people are retiring!" said that, Sun Jiachen said goodbye and left.
Li Mu just nodded, ignored it, and continued to think about walking, how to rub fingerprints.
Suddenly, I saw that Sun Mengxi was still here.
"Miss Sun, why are you staying here?" Li Mu said.
"My lord, the father who saved the little girl, the little girl has nothing to repay, and she is willing to make a promise to be a slave and a maid, make a mattress quilt, and serve the adult's daily life!" Sun Mengxi said.
"Girl, let's leave!" Li Mu said lightly: "This official doesn't plan to get married for the time being, it's too troublesome to get married!"
In the previous life, he was young and ignorant, he had three girlfriends, he was outstanding, and he was very happy with each other, but later he realized that women were troublesome things, and their heads were terrible.
Beauty is important, but he is more afraid of trouble.
Sun Mengxi said: "The eldest lord, it is the county honor, and he was born in Tanhua, and he will be the marquis in the future. The little girl was born ordinarily, so naturally she didn't have the position of a wife, and it was enough to be a concubine!"
Li Mu said with a smile: "The status of the concubine is very low! Why should the girl bother to wronged herself!"
Sun Mengxi said: "I'd rather be a heroic concubine than a mediocre wife!"
Li Mu was speechless.
It's like a previous life, I'd rather be a junior or a junior than a certain little girl than become the girlfriend of some licking dogs.
"You guys are so calculating!" Li Mu said in his heart. First, he is a Tanhualang and a county honor, which can be described as a diamond stock, and marrying him as a concubine is actually not a loss; second, marrying him as a concubine also bought insurance for the Sun family.
Don't suffer losses, but make a lot of money.
"I'd rather be a heroic concubine than a mediocre wife, you have a good backbone and ambition!" Li Mu said: "But just having ambition is not enough." You also have to have the ability! Not just any woman can be the concubine of the official. If you want to be an official's concubine, you have to be outstanding, it's too ugly, don't!"
Sun Mengxi nodded and said, "What is the appearance of the little woman?"
Li Mu said: "You are just a delicate person, not outstanding!
Sun Mengxi said: "What else?"
"And it can't be a vase!" Li Mu said: "Prove that you have a skill, prove your talent." For example, in front of you, you are encountering a problem. You see this bowl, there are handprints, there are fingerprints...... Excuse me, how do you rub fingerprints, there is only a stick of incense in time!"
"If you can't, leave!"
Li Mu said lightly: "It's not anyone, everyone is qualified to be a hero's concubine! There is only one stick of incense in time!"
As he spoke, Li Mu stepped forward, took out a stick of incense, and lit it directly.
waited quietly, and then looked forward to Sun Mengxi's failure and direct elimination.
Sun Mengxi was silent.
Thinking about the way to crack it, there was a trace of unwillingness in my heart, which was burning, turning into endless anger.
