When Erliu heard this, he immediately panicked and begged repeatedly: "Sir, I'll confess, I'll confess."
Then Erliu recounted the case.
It turned out that he was very happy when he saw Mrs. Hong Zhao coming to drink. She usually came during the day, but she came so late to drink. She didn’t drink. Could it be that she was drinking for other people? When he asked her, she said that her husband drank.
This is strange. Her husband came back all day and night, and it was not the first day of the new year or the fifteenth day of the new year. There must be something wrong with this.
He thought that there must be a man pursuing Mrs. Hong Zhao, so he became suspicious. Originally, he wanted to get in on Mrs. Hong Zhao, and it was worth spending even a moment together. He had coveted her for a long time, but he couldn't get close to her.
Because she is very cautious and decent, she is very resistant to any man other than her husband, including of course the grocery store owner who she often deals with.
He knew he couldn't succeed, because she always rejected her harshly, so he assumed that he was not good enough and was vulgar in appearance, so he would not be in her mind. He thought that there must be a man she liked, and he could have sex with her while her man was not at home.
He spends the night together.
With this idea, he just didn't show it. After Mrs. Hong Zhao left, Erliu asked the clerk to guard the store and come when he said he had something to do. Then he followed her at a short distance to see if she was really what she said.
That way.
Er Liu followed Mrs. Hong Zhao, one after another, to Hong Zhao's house. Er Liu walked along the wall, climbed over the courtyard wall, sneaked under the bedroom window, crouched in the shadow, and listened to the movements in the house.
He held his breath for fear of being discovered.
His ears were very sensitive, and he heard Hong Zhao's words and his wife's words clearly. When he finally found out that this man was indeed Hong Zhao, his heart was completely cold, and he knew that there was no chance.
Everything Mrs. Hong Zhao said is true.
He heard what Hong Zhao said and knew where the money was hidden. He was so happy that it was not in vain!
Gaining something is better than anything else. This time it’s a lot of money!
He was satisfied and left. He immediately rushed to the Tutu Temple, knelt down to the Tutu Lord, kowtowed, and bowed. Then he went around to the back of the temple, found the stone slab, and moved it away. Sure enough, he saw the money bag. He looked around and found nothing unusual.
Only the owl hoots on a distant branch.
He pulled out the money bag and put it on his shoulder. In the dead of night, the first rooster crow was heard in the distance, and two or three dogs barked. After a while, the village returned to peace.
He thought he had done it perfectly, and no one knew. Who knew that the land master was not tight-lipped, but he was still questioned by Jin Shan? It was bad luck for eight lifetimes.
It suddenly occurred to him that he had just knelt down and worshiped the Lord of the Earth without making an offering. If he had made an offering, it might have silenced the Lord of the Earth, but the matter had come to this, so he could only do this and be willing to be punished.
Jin Shan made a judgment against Erliu in accordance with the law: "I won't do it, but I have to compensate Hong Zhao twice as much. Because stealing behind the Tutu Temple not only stole people's money, but also disrespected the Tutu Lord. There is no way
If you have faith, there is no hope. You should be fined and have a long memory! If you don't accept it, you will be slapped with forty bullets."
After the verdict was announced, everyone clapped their hands and applauded.
Jin Shan supervised the local security guards and local officials, and supervised the completion of Erliu. After Jin Shan handled these matters, he went to the capital to report on his work, meet with Yin Jian, and then went to visit his teacher Bu Huishu.
When Bu Huishu saw this student, he liked him very much! He said, "You came at the right time! Something happened at Yin Jian's place. Let me handle it. I don't have time, so you can do it for me."
"What's up?"
"This matter is kept secret. Don't tell it. I haven't reported it to the official now because something happened in Dali Temple and it won't sound good if it is told." Bu Huishu said.
"Then the student knows. Let's go to Dali Temple to understand the situation first."
"Master, I know how to solve the problem, but I just don't want to go because there are too many books to read and it takes time to read. As for you, you can just give it a try and share the burden for me, how about it?" Bu Huishu said.
"That's of course. No wonder when I met Mr. Yin just now, he wanted to say something but didn't, and the way he hesitated when he wanted to speak let the students know that something must be wrong with him, but it was just not convenient for him to say it." Jin Shan said.
"Very good. He wants to save face. If you ask again, he will definitely tell you. If he doesn't tell you, it means he still doesn't trust you. If you go, he thinks it's just a normal report of work and it's business to business. He just leaves after saying it. It can't be solved.
Difficulty. If you say I asked you to come, he will understand that he will trust you completely and will say it. You have to act according to the situation. Many people are looking for faults in him and will impeach him if they find it.
If he speaks a little louder, the emperor will know it. Not to mention that I will rush over immediately. If you know this, it will be easier for you." Bu Huishu said.
"Okay, thank you, teacher. The student will rush over right away." Jin Shan said.
"Okay, my life as a teacher is simple. I won't let you eat anymore. You go to Master Yin. He wants to look good and show off, so he will definitely take care of you eating well and having a good rest." Bu Huishu said.
"Okay, I know, student, let's go over now. Teacher, please continue studying. I don't want to disturb you, student. Farewell!" Jin Shan said, bowed his hands and bowed, exited the study, left Bu Huishu and went to Yin Jian's Mansion in Dali Temple.
Yin Jian was surprised when he heard about Jin Shan's visit. Why was this guy here again? With doubts, he invited Jin Shan to the study room because he had something to discuss.
"It's polite to be born late!" Jin Shan said with a bow in his hands.
"No gifts! You are pretty much the same as I used to be. You were a county magistrate, an official of your parents, and were in charge of everything. It's really hard work!"
"Seniors are still great! Young students should learn more. Young students have heard about the deeds of their predecessors. They look up to them, but they cannot catch up with them. They look at the ocean and sigh, but they don't know Mount Tai." Jin Shan said.
"Don't come here to flatter me! You haven't eaten yet. Come, everyone here is a guest, and no one is carrying the house on their backs, except for the snail. As for you, you can settle down when you come. Let's talk while eating. Come on,
Arrange a banquet." Yin Jian said.
Soon, the banquet was arranged, and Jin Shan was not polite and began to drink with Yin Jian.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes. Even old horses stumble sometimes." Yin Jian said.
"What's going on?"
"It's just that Dali Temple lost money." Yin Jian said.
"Really? I haven't heard of this."
"There are only three people who know about this matter, you and me. You are you, Jin Shan, I am the official, and he is Bu Huishu. Presumably Bu Huishu mentioned this to him and did not discuss it in detail, because he did not care about it and did not have time.
No matter what, I didn't give him a detailed discussion. In this situation, I can only talk to you in detail," Yin Jian said.
"Yeah, thank you for your trust. My teacher Bu Huishu didn't say anything. He just asked the students to ask you, senior, please clarify."
"It's like this. I've lost a lot of silver and I'm too embarrassed to report it to the official. It's not convenient for me to investigate the case. Once the case is investigated, some people will laugh at it and talk about it behind my back, even impeachment or other objections." Yin Jian said.
"I understand, I understand, senior, just tell me directly, what kind of help do you need from this junior?"
"There are one thousand ingots of silver stolen from Dali Temple. There are no clues at all, and I can't say anything, so I need Jin Shan's help to find it. I don't show up, and Dali Temple doesn't know about it, so I investigate the case secretly. It depends on how long it takes you to find it.
Solve the case?" Yin Jian asked.
"Ten days at most, five days at least. Wan Sheng will definitely bring the thief to justice and hand him over to humility," Jin Shan said.
"Hahaha, I know you can do it and you will definitely be able to solve the case. None of Bu Huishu's students are cowards, all of them are great. Bu Huishu has a unique vision. He teaches students in accordance with their aptitude and people, and gives full play to their specialties. This method is feasible.
" Yin Jian said.
"It's a big story. If the seniors don't support it, then even if the late student confesses, the case will not be solved, but it will make others laugh. So I need to ask the seniors for more support."
"How to support? Just ask, as long as I can do it, I will do it without delay or shirk. Just say it!"
"I just have three requirements."
"Please tell me what three requirements you have!"
"First, please arrange for the yamen to be stationed around the yamen. Everything is subject to Wan Sheng's dispatch. Under unified command, the orders reach each yamen officer vertically."
"This is no problem, it can be done. What about the second one?"
"Second, anyone who comes in or out of the Yamen of Senior's Mansion will be inspected by Wansheng's personnel or searched. No refusal or protest will be allowed."
"This security task is not difficult and can be satisfied. So, what about the third one?"
"Third, that is to say, as long as Wan Sheng comes to see you, no matter what time or where, he will be received unconditionally and cannot be refused for any reason." Jin Shan said.
"Any more?"
"No more for the time being. As long as we can do the first three points, we will ensure that we explain and solve the case." Jin Shan said.
Yin Jian agreed one by one. He knew very well that if you want to solve the case, you must fully believe in the ability of the investigators, must provide necessary support, and need close cooperation and coordinated operations to be effective. If you can't help, don't hold back. If you can't help, just do it.
Don't say sarcastic words, these are the most damaging to people.
In this way, Jin Shan got the authorization, then the banquet was dismissed, everything was arranged and discussed, Jin Shan immediately deployed, the personnel deployment was completed immediately, and the defense work was also completed.
Next, for several days, Jin Shan frequently went in and out of Yin Jian's house, asking for an audience one after another. Because Yin Jian had spoken in advance, he responded to his request, cooperated with him, and let him in.
After he met Yin Jian, he didn't speak or looked at each other. Yin Jian didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, but he had made an agreement and couldn't break it or refuse it.
Jin Shan entered the house and saw Yin Jian, then looked left and right, then left Yin Jian and walked around, because Yin Jian had ordered everyone that Jin Shan could walk freely in the house and no one else could ask, interfere or stop him.
Otherwise, severe punishment will not be given.
Jin Shan watched Yin Jian's house for many days without speaking or asking anyone, which made Yin Jian very puzzled and didn't know what he was going to do. Seeing that the deadline for handling the case was coming, Jin Shan remained calm and calm, as if nothing was wrong.
The same thing happens. Yin Jian knows that everyone has his own method, and he doesn't care about the process when handling a case. Not everyone understands the process, but the result will be seen by everyone.
Early in the morning on the fifth day, Jin Shan came in with a flurry of government officials and instruments of torture. The government officials were all in place, just waiting for Jin Shan to speak.
At this time, Yin Jian was about to go out and happened to see Jin Shan. Jin Shan stepped forward to salute and whispered: "Senior, the case has been solved."
"Ah! Really? That's great! You did what you said, and you didn't break your promise. Tell me quickly, who is the thief? Where is the lost silver?" Yin Jian said.
"The thief is right there!" Jin Shan shouted loudly, then pointed at a follower next to Yin Jian, "That's him, take it down!"
As soon as all the catchers heard this, a whirlwind blew by, and four or five people came up, overturned the entourage to the ground, and tied them up tightly, like rice dumplings in May.
Yin Jian was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. After a long time, he asked with trembling lips: "This, this, he, is a thief? Why? What evidence is there?"
Yin Jian didn't dare to face the reality, it turned out to be like this! The confidants around him turned out to be thieves. If it was true, stealing money was a trivial matter. If a life was stolen, it could not be recovered. A person can only live once, and a person cannot be resurrected after death.
This is sad.
Jin Shan did not answer Yin Jian's question, but just said: "Senior, please come and see!"
As he spoke, he led everyone to an east wing with a bed.
Jin Shan ordered the bed to be taken away.
After the bed was lifted away, it was found that there was fresh soil under the bed. It looked like it had been excavated not long ago and the soil contained moisture. It was not very dry soil.
"Dig!" Jin Shan ordered.
Someone started digging in a hurry, but after digging twice, they heard a "bang-dang-" and a dull metal collision sound.
I saw a bag, dug it out, opened the bag and saw that there was indeed a large bag of silver ingots hidden inside. I counted, there were about 400 ingots. There were still 600 ingots left.
"Tell me the truth, where are the other six hundred ingots of silver? Tell me quickly! I won't hurt your flesh and blood. I'll break your legs and cramp your tendons to see if you still steal it?" Jin Shan asked.
The attendant was so frightened that he could not speak coherently, so he had to honestly confess where the remaining silver was hidden.
The case was solved, and Yin Jian was very happy. Unexpectedly, the old horse stumbled and met a young man, but it turned out that the young man was terrible. The case was solved! It seems that although all the difficult cases in the country are in Dali Temple, there are also difficult cases in Dali Temple that are difficult to solve.
, just like a barber, he has difficulty cutting his own hair, but he finds it easy to help others. No wonder there is no bench to sit on in a carpenter's shop. Furniture is made and being made everywhere, so where is there a place to stay?
Yin Jian didn't expect that he would be deceived by the most trusted person around him. He was betrayed and helped count the money. It shouldn't be done!
Afterwards, Yin Jian asked: "How did you solve the case?"
Jin Shan said: "The place where the money is kept is an important place. Only the humble, trustworthy and close people can touch it. If there is a chance to touch it, there will be a chance to steal. However, there are so many people around the senior! Who committed the crime?
It is difficult to judge. Everyone seems to have committed the crime. Unfortunately, there is no evidence, so we can only sift through it slowly. Therefore, Wansheng made three requests to the seniors. This request is very practical and can get a lot of information. First, it can be fully observed,
Second, it can give the thief an opportunity to worry about it and even make him sleepy and sleepless. As long as the other party behaves positively, I have achieved my goal, because negative people will have negative behaviors. If there are negative behaviors,
Flaws will be exposed and doubts will appear, and the case will be easily solved."
