He reluctantly rested for another day, and after sleeping, the souls of Li You's two lives became more and more closely integrated. Although the soul of the previous life was dominant, he was also infected with many bad habits in this life. After all, he grew up in a slave labor circle.
There are not many decent people here. As the saying goes, if you are not guilty, you should be killed.
Without further ado, on the early morning of March 14th, Li You was dressed neatly, wearing nothing more than a long green cloth coat with arrow sleeves, a square flat hat with a few bird feathers on the hat, and a belt knife beside him. All standard business attire.
, only this waist knife was passed down to him by his father. He also spent some money and made it with high-quality materials to imitate the embroidered spring knife. It is both light and durable. His father laughed and called it an imitation spring knife. It is worth showing off.
Yes, for other tolerances it would be good to have an iron ruler.
When he came out of his house, when he saw Li You on the left or right, the neighbors all called out to Li Xiaoguan and asked about his injury. According to the system, how could Li You be called an official with his status? But these days, the customs are so rampant that doctors dare not
He is called an imperial doctor, the person who cuts his head is called a doctor, and the person who pours tea is called a doctor. He is called a gentleman, and the master is even more outrageous. This is how it is in the world.
Li You came to the squad room diagonally across from the county government office. There were five or six police officers from the same class sitting around. When they saw Li You, they all asked: "How is the investigation of your case?"
It took Li You a second to dig this incident out of his memory. It turned out that before time travel, Li You took on a case - a Yan Xiucai from the county came to sue the officials, saying that his wife wanted to return to her parents' home.
He was lost, and no one was seen in his parents' house. The county magistrate handed over the missing person case to Li You for investigation, and ordered him to conduct an investigation every five days and to investigate the case within a time limit. The reason for this meal on the day of time travel was because Li You found nothing in the past five days.
The county magistrate was furious, so he rewarded Li You with a big board as punishment.
Li Yougong cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your concern, brothers. If there is nothing else, I will go out and visit again."
In my memory, Li You was not lazy in those days. He walked back and forth several times from Yan Xiucai's home to Xiucai's father-in-law's home outside Xiguan. He asked many people, but he didn't have any clues. Shangguan these days won't be reasonable with you.
Ah, Li You lamented, the big board was so unjustly punished. There was no credit but hard work.
Who let the errand fall to me? Li You had no choice. When he came to Yan Xiucai's house, he found the scholar's servant and carefully interrogated Yan's wife about her daily life, until the servant became impatient.
Then I visited Madam Yan's family along the way back to her parents' home. She asked dozens of people in succession, which made her mouth dry and her voice hoarse. Even though the sun went to the west, she still had no clues. She had to find a tea stall and drank a few drinks.
In a big bowl, Dr. Cha was only given a copper coin, but he was so shocked that Dr. Cha shouted: "I don't dare to ask for the official's money!"
Li Youzheng is a young man, so he can't bear his temper. If there is no clue to the case, he has no clue, and he won't waste his energy here. He shook his head and thought, there is really no way. Where can I find this woman? She might have been abducted out of town.
Sold. Let’s put the case aside and put it off until the time has passed and the county magistrate and the victim have no hope. They can’t find it, and they have no temper.
When laziness set in, he really didn't care. He walked around the streets and alleys for three consecutive days, having fun everywhere, and met some old acquaintances who listened to music and played cards. In his previous life, he really liked Yue Opera, Huangmei and other southern operas. In this era,
The ancestors who met these plays listened to a few of them, but unfortunately many of the plays written by celebrities were too literary and incomprehensible.
In addition, I won hundreds of coins playing chess, but I learned how to play horse trap. I was speechless. Could it be because my father didn’t like you? He grabbed the rope and dragged Yu Dalang to the county government office.
.On the other hand, Father Li went back to his residence first.
At this time, the magistrate happened to be in the court, so there was no need to wait. Li You threw Yu Dalang into the court and reported: "The suspect in the missing case of Madam Yan has been brought here."
Of course Yu Dalang refused to confess and shouted that he was wronged. But the county magistrate ignored him and beat Yu Dalang thirty times. Seeing that he still refused to confess, he put a stick on him. Zaoli exerted his strength and Yu Dalang was in severe pain.
Chuan Xin immediately fainted. A bucket of cold water was poured on Yu Dalang, who was still shouting: "This villain is so unjust!"
Hurry up and recruit them. Everyone, get off work early. These instruments of torture are not just for display, Li You thought as he looked at Yu Dalang.
The county magistrate shouted: "You traitor, you are stubborn and refuse to change. I will not argue with you today. I will put you in jail under strict supervision. I will try you again tomorrow!" After saying that, he shook his sleeves and left the court. Today
A doctor from the Ministry of Revenue was passing by the county. The county magistrate Chen was going to pick him up, so he had no time to quarrel with the prisoner.
Li You couldn't bear to see Yu Dalang's miserable state and said to the prison guards who came to pull him away: "Keep an eye on him in the prison and don't hurt him." Several prison guards looked at Li You in surprise and said, "It's Li You."
You collected the prisoner's money.
Li You went home and looked for his father and asked, "Father, do you have any evidence or inferences? Submit it to the county magistrate early to settle the case, so that Yu Dalang can be saved from being tortured."
"There is no evidence for my father. I can just grab anyone and throw it to the county magistrate."
Sweating profusely at Lushan Waterfall... Li You was very speechless. Do you want me to learn to handle cases like this...
"Don't understand?" Father Li smiled slightly, "You have to give an explanation to the county magistrate, and the county magistrate has to give an explanation to the sufferer. The explanations come and go. If you can't find someone, you have to find someone to explain to. In this way, when you are here,
The matter is settled before the county magistrate, the magistrate also has something to say to the sufferer, and he can handle the examination by his superior."
This... this... this... such dark unspoken rules... is too cold-blooded. Is handling cases in this era "free trial"? Li You, a good young man in his previous life, couldn't accept it.
Father Li sighed again: "You deserve the punishment you received. If it were an ordinary sufferer, the case would not be so harsh. But the Yan scholar's reputation is far-reaching, and he was appreciated by the academic and political master of the province, and he even worshiped him.
The eldest master is a teacher, and he is just waiting for him to pass the examination in the year after tomorrow. Even if the county magistrate does not like him, he is still a colleague in the academy. He must give you some face, and he will not give you a slap in the face and supervise you, how can you appear
Yan Xiucai has face. We, the lowly and humble, are helpless. If you really don’t catch and confess to us, the county magistrate will beat you to death. And you will become the magistrate’s explanation. All the blame lies with you if you don’t handle the case carefully.
On you."
Li You was dumbfounded, this world... is it going to force me to be such a treacherous villain? Can I do it? Yu Dalang is so pitiful, but listening to what his father said, if I don't do this, I will be in trouble.
He has already received twenty or thirty blows for this. Li You felt extremely torn in his heart.
Then I heard Li's father say: "If you are free, you might as well investigate in private. If you find out the truth, you might as well report it to the magistrate. You have accumulated some evil virtue, and it will be easier for you to talk to the King of Hell in the future."
"Isn't this trapping myself again?" Li You, who had just turned around and positioned himself as a dark and dirty little yamen servant, said hesitantly: "You are so inconsistent that when you get to the county magistrate, you will just treat him as a fool.
.If Yu Dalang is exhausted after being tortured and you find out other truths, the county magistrate will hate you to death if he realizes that he made a wrong verdict."
"No! Mr. Qingtian vindicated an unjust case, which is a meritorious deed, praised by all the people, and praised by the government. When the time comes, it will be obvious that you, the ignorant little Xu, arrested the wrong person before. Fortunately, you know that the county lord has
God’s guidance and the solution of your unjust case are by no means too much merit.”
After speaking, Father Li nodded and said, "You should think about it carefully. I'm going home. If I don't leave, I won't be able to get there before dark."
What a simple little person dialectic... Without an unjust case, how can there be vindication...
When he walked to the door, Father Li turned back and said, "I have some words for you as a father. Those who work as servants are just minions of the official family. They must be hard-hearted and ruthless, and they must be able to look after the limelight. You
It’s a bit soft.”
"Then why don't you let your brother take over this class?" Li You asked and thought. In my previous life, a distinguished college student was not used to doing such a shameless job.
"He's afraid he's not even as good as you!"
Li You slept very uncomfortably that night. One moment he dreamed that Yu Dalang was beaten to death, and the other moment he dreamed that he had committed some crime and was taken to the execution ground and had his head chopped off. He was living in nightmares until dawn.
