The world's first county magistrate

Chapter 75
The result was obvious, Li Nan was placed under house arrest.

But Li Nan looked around, and the treatment under house arrest was many times more comfortable than that in the shop.

If possible, Li Nan would like to be under house arrest forever.

Li Nan stood up, came to the bed, and lay down.

what!Comfortable.

Li Nan sighed in his heart.

Then Li Nan fell asleep in this comfortable house arrest.

Little did he know that people outside were busy with his affairs.

Li Bei had returned to the salt shop in Yongquan County at this time.

Under Song Wei's careful teaching, Li Bei was no longer in a hurry.

According to Song Wei, someone will come to him, and he is also a witness.

That is the salt merchant in Yushan County, although I don't know how Song Wei did it.

But what if you know?
So Li Bei has been waiting for the arrival of the salt merchants from Yushan County.

Li Bei sat on a chair and stared at the door of the salt shop.

Because of Li Nan's arrest, no one came to the salt shop to buy salt at this time.

Even the streets were deserted.

Nonsense, why was Li Nan arrested?

Doubt is against the order!

Who dares to continue to buy salt in his shop?

Li Bei didn't know how long he had been looking at the door today, he only remembered that he started looking after waking up.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man came behind the door.

The middle-aged man looked up at the plaque, then looked into the shop, and then entered the salt shop.

"Is anyone there?"

After entering the salt shop, the middle-aged man looked around and opened his mouth to ask.

In fact, Li Bei had seen the middle-aged man a long time ago, but he didn't look like a salt merchant, so he ignored him.

But at this time he had already spoken, and Li Bei also stood up.

"Someone, how much salt does this guest want?"

After standing up, Li Bei said.

After seeing someone, the middle-aged man looked happy.

"No, no, I'm not here to buy salt."

Not here to buy salt?

Li Bei was a little puzzled, what did you come to the salt shop for if you didn't come to buy salt?
Suddenly Li Bei stopped, didn't he?
At this time, the middle-aged man continued: "I'm here to find someone. Do you know a man named Li Bei?"

Li Bei naturally knew it, but at the moment he was a little excited and didn't say anything.

Finally waited!
This is Li Bei's idea.

This middle-aged man was none other than Jiang Zheng. After receiving Song Wei's news, he rushed over immediately.

"I am."

Li Bei said after reacting.

"You are?"

Jiang Zheng looked at Li Bei and said, "That's great."

"Brother Song asked me to discuss the details of the report, what about others?"

Brother Song?

Li Bei was a little dazed, but suddenly his heart trembled.

Your magistrate?

Who is this person who actually calls himself a brother to the county magistrate?
"My lord has a lot of things to do every day, and it's not convenient for you to come, so this time it's just the two of us."

Li Bei explained to Jiang Zheng.

grown ups?

The one I want to talk about is Brother Song.

Jiang Zheng was a little excited, and he guessed right.

Brother Song is indeed a big shot, otherwise he wouldn't be called a big shot.

Song Wei didn't tell Jiang Zheng that he was the county magistrate, so Jiang Zheng didn't think too much after hearing about it.

"I see, so what do we need to do?"

Jiang Zheng said with a sudden realization.

"Naturally, it's the answer to some questions when reporting the crime. Your lord has already told me that as long as we agree with each other, there will be no problem."

Jiang Zheng nodded, but thought to himself: "Brother Song is really thoughtful."

The next step is Li Bei telling the general how he should answer if the county magistrate asks something.

Jiang Zheng listened patiently, the more he listened, the more he felt that Song Wei was not simple.

You can think of some tricky questions, and if you are asked, you must not know how to answer them.

After a long time, the two of them discussed all the possible problems they might face.

While digesting these things, Jiang Zheng said with emotion: "Brother Song is indeed very intelligent!"

Li Bei next to him also nodded, he didn't know much about Song Wei before.

But since he took refuge in Song Wei, he discovered that Song Wei's intelligence is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"What are we going to do next?"

Jiang Zheng asked.

Jiang Zheng only knew that it was Song Wei who asked him to come and confess this time, but he didn't know what to do next.

Li Bei touched his chin and pondered for a while: "Get ready to report the crime."

In fact, Li Bei didn't know what to do next.

Song Wei didn't say anything, but it has been four days since Li Nan was arrested.

It is impossible to say that he is not in a hurry. Although Li Bei is not in a hurry on the surface, he is still worried about Li Nan's safety in his heart all the time.

Jiang Zheng also nodded after hearing this.

Then Li Bei cleaned up the salt shop.

After closing the salt shop, he took Jiang Zheng to the county government of Yongquan County.

Li Bei had already found out the way to the county government, so the two soon arrived at the gate of the county government.

There was no one at the gate of the county government office, and under normal circumstances, no one would report the case.

Li Bei walked slowly to the drum at the gate of the county government office.

Pick up the drumstick and hit it hard on the drum.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The drums were so loud that they even made my ears hurt.

Soon after, the gate of the county government office opened, and a group of government officials came out.

Li Bei stopped playing the drums.

"whats the matter?"

A yamen servant stepped forward and asked.

Li Bei had tears in his eyes: "Craftsman Li Bei, my brother was arrested four days ago for resisting the order, but my brother was wronged. I hope the magistrate can retry the case and return my brother's innocence."

The yamen servant frowned, four days ago?
Did anything happen four days ago?
The yamen servant thought to himself now.

But he didn't show it: "Come and write down the pleadings first, and we will notify the adults."

Li Bei nodded, followed the yamen servant to the county yamen, and wrote down what happened on the pleadings.

The yamen officer picked up the petition and went to the back court of the county yamen.

Walking to the door of the county magistrate's room, the yamen servant knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Not long after, a middle-aged man's voice came from the room.

Then the yamen servant opened the door and went in.

Inside the room was a middle-aged man with a majestic face. He was the county magistrate of Yongquan County.

"My lord, someone has reported the crime."

The yamen servant walked up to the magistrate, handed the pleading paper to the magistrate and said.

"As far as I know, a man named Li Nan was arrested four days ago because he resisted the order. The person who came was Li Nan's elder brother Li Bei. Li Bei said that Li Nan was wronged. I hope the Lord can retry the case. Return Li Nan's innocence."

The yamen servant continued.

The magistrate of Yongquan County nodded and looked at the paper in his hand.

Soon after, the county magistrate of Yongquan County put the pleadings on the table.

Asked: "Did anyone be arrested four days ago?"

The yamen servant shook his head: "No, no one reported the case four days ago, so it's not enough to send out manpower."

The officer said slowly.

After hearing this, the magistrate of Yongquan County frowned slightly.

"Then why did Li Bei say that his brother was arrested four days ago?"

The yamen servant shook his head.

The county magistrate of Yongquan County was silent for a while, and then said: "You go down first, I will go there soon."

"Yes!"

Then the yamen servant left.

After the yamen servant left, the magistrate of Yongquan County took another look at the pleading paper, then stood up and left the room.

The magistrate of Yongquan County found Li Bei and walked up to Li Bei.

After Li Bei saw the county magistrate of Yongquan County, he quickly knelt down: "Please return my brother's innocence, sir."

The county magistrate of Yongquan County stepped forward to help Li Bei up and said slowly.

"But my officer never ordered anyone to be arrested four days ago."
