Li Manguan’s dream

For some reason, Li Manguan felt his brows twitching when he looked at the tall country man standing in front of him.

He had obviously taken care of it, but the opponent's momentum was really terrifying.

But then I thought, even if I go, I can make him willingly accept the debt, and the bear skin worth thousands of taels of silver will be his.

"Go, just go, as you say!"

Soon, several people had arrived at the Yamen.

After all, Qin Daniu is a roughneck from the countryside. How could he know that he would get into lawsuits?

Let’s not talk about the consequences of going to the Yamen. Just thinking about it makes me feel scalp-sick.

But now this is my sister's business, even if I bite the bullet, I have to go along with it.

Li Manguan was the first to stand in the courtroom, looking at the county magistrate in front of him. The villain was the first to file a complaint.

"Master Qingtian, I want to sue this woman. She previously lent me four hundred taels of silver and wrote it here in black and white, but now she wants to default on the loan. I beg Master Qingtian to give me justice."

The county magistrate sitting in the courtroom touched his beard, squinted his eyes and said, "Show me the IOU."

He had been angered by Li Manguan for a long time, and Li Manguan stuffed him with fifty taels of silver. After the deed was completed, he would still have a full one hundred taels of silver as reward.

How could he not do this kind of business where he could just sit back and enjoy the profits?

Soon Li Manguan handed over the IOU.

The county magistrate glanced at it and said in surprise: "Bold woman, it's clearly written in black and white on the paper. You owe Li Manguan four hundred taels of silver, why don't you pay it back?"

Qin Zhiyi had no fear, she had already guessed the outcome, but Fei Chengsheng's righteous words just now convinced her.

So she said: "Sir, I never lent him four hundred taels of silver. I am an ordinary woman in Qinjiazhuang. I can't write at all. The handwriting on it is so neat and beautiful that even a common woman can't practice it for three to five years."

Such neat handwriting."

Fei Chengsheng stood quietly beside Qin Zhiyi, staring closely at the county master sitting in the court.

At this moment, the county master only felt uncomfortable being stared at by these eyes, but he had no other doubts.

Instead, he said loudly: "You said you can't read if you don't know how to read? What if you are lying? Someone, drag this cunning woman out..."

"grown ups."

Fei Chengsheng spoke up, his tone calm and restrained: "In my opinion, if you take a closer look at this IOU, if you are found to be unjust or wrong, according to the laws of the Dali Kingdom, you will be beheaded in the worst case and dismissed from your post in the lightest case."

Hearing this, Li Manguan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Fei Chengsheng, then looked at the county magistrate sitting above him in the court.

The county magistrate nodded slightly. He originally wanted to drag this reckless man out and give him a slap in the face.

But the next second, he saw the badge of the reckless man standing in the courtroom exposed.

Just looking at what looked like tiger stripes printed on it, his whole body softened.

No wonder he said that this person was very intimidating. It turned out to be someone from the imperial court.

Fortunately, his plank was not knocked down, otherwise, his life would have been lost.

"Have you looked carefully, sir?"

Fei Chengsheng asked again, but the county master had already changed his tone: "Well, I have read this IOU carefully, and I do have some questions."

The county magistrate once again glanced at the people in the hall.

Look at Li Manguan, who has been winking at him. At this moment, he no longer has the mentality that he wanted to solve the case before.

He had long heard that the imperial court sent an imperial envoy for a private visit incognito. Could this be the imperial envoy?

Regardless of whether it was true or not, this was someone he couldn't afford to offend. He had to use his family's skills to try this case thoroughly.

So he said to the master next to him: "Master Wang, go and get pen, ink, paper and inkstone to the woman. You can watch her write her name. You must not let her draw randomly. Do you understand what I mean?"

When Master Wang heard this, he immediately responded and ordered the servants next to him to get pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

Li Manguan was still very proud, and now he was confident about getting the bearskin back from the fish.

The pen, ink, paper and inkstone were placed in front of him. Qin Zhiyi looked at the brush and grabbed it directly in his hand.

God knows that she really can't write calligraphy. Fortunately, the original owner is a person who can only read but not write.

So when she picked up the brush and started writing the three characters "Qin Zhiyi" very seriously, not only did she write crookedly, but because she couldn't control the rice paper and the brush, the three characters looked like a mess.

Master Wang stood aside and kept shaking his head. Just looking at this posture and the strength and skill of writing were enough to prove that this woman was indeed unable to write.

After writing the name, Mr. Wang took Qin Zhiyi's written name and the IOU and placed them in front of the county master.

The county master compared them carefully, and his eyebrows jumped even more.

The words are all written like this, let alone the comparison of the strokes. There is absolutely nothing in common between the two words.

But he did not say anything, but asked Li Manguan: "You said you lent her four hundred taels of silver. When and where did you lend it to her? Is there anyone who can confirm it?"

Li Manguan said openly: "It's in my house. She was my father's remarried wife. Later, my father died of illness and he kicked her out of the house."

In his opinion, Qin Zhiyi has been kicked out anyway. Even if those scandals are revealed, it doesn't matter. It is just ruining her reputation and has nothing to do with the Li family.

"When your father dies, will your father's wife be kicked out?"

Li Manguan continued: "She doesn't follow the rules of women. When she got married to my father, my father suffered a stroke and was paralyzed in bed, but she got pregnant. What is it if it's not an affair?"

"God has a good life, so I, the Li family, don't care about this, but she did borrow these four hundred taels of silver from me. There was no one to prove it. I just lent it to her secretly out of sympathy for her."

"What nonsense!"

The county master clapped the alarm again: "I just asked Mrs. Qin to write down her name, and no part of the strokes is similar to the previous signature. And there are clear fingerprints where she signed, which are exactly the same as the fingerprints on your IOU.

Different. It is enough to prove that your IOU is fake."

"Tell me, why would you frame a woman!"

How did Li Manguan know how the case that had been discussed long ago could turn out like this.

He thought the county magistrate was joking with him, and said with a playful smile: "Sir, it was really she who lent me the money. As for the handwriting and the fingerprints, it may not be the same finger, or she may have written the name randomly on purpose."

"If you still haven't told the truth till now, come here, drag him out and beat him twenty times!"

With a shout, two people immediately walked out, holding Li Manguan on their backs and dragging him out.

Li Manguan was so frightened that he didn't say loudly until he was dragged to the door: "Sir, I was wronged, sir, I was wronged..."

Before he finished speaking, he was dragged out. The person next to him picked up a board and hit him hard on the buttocks.

As soon as the board went down, Li Manguan almost fainted from the pain.

There was no time for him to cry out in pain, and then came the second wrench...
