The world's first county magistrate

Chapter 78

As soon as this sentence came out, the county magistrate of Yongquan County took action.

Frowning slightly, the magistrate of Yongquan County asked, "Is what you said true?"

"Everything the little one said is true!"

Wang Yangqiu looked at the magistrate of Yongquan County sincerely.

The magistrate of Yongquan County frowned even deeper.

"Come here, bring back brothers Li Nan and Li Bei. I want to personally interrogate them!"

The county magistrate raised his voice.

"Yes!"

The yamen servant responded and left.

Naturally, Li Bei and Li Nan didn't know about this.

At this time, Li Bei was still relaxed. Although he had made preparations, Li Nan had already been rescued.

What else is there to be dissatisfied with?

But Li Bei didn't expect that not long after he and Li Nan came back, several yamen servants rushed to the salt shop.

"Someone sued you for disobedience, please come with us."

After the yamen servant came, he said straight to the point.

Li Bei was a little confused at first, but he quickly realized it.

I didn't feel anything, after all, I was already prepared.

Nodding his head, Li Bei said, "Okay, we'll go with you."

Pulling in Li Nan, who was a little confused, Li Bei and the two followed the yamen servants back to the county yamen.

At this time, above the court, the magistrate of Yongquan County was already sitting in the middle.

There was also Wang Yangqiu in the lobby who couldn't get out of bed.

"My lord, bring Li Bei and Li Nan here!"

The yamen servant shouted after returning.

"Bring it in!"

The county magistrate said silently.

Then Li Bei and Li Nan walked into the courtroom.

Li Bei first looked at Wang Yangqiu who was on the side, but he didn't know him.

But I don't know why he has this face.

The magistrate of Yongquan County looked at the crowd and knocked on the gavel.

"Everyone is here, let's go to hall!"

The magistrate of Yongquan County snapped.

"mighty!"

The servant next to him said.

After the yamen service was over, the county magistrate of Yongquan County looked at Wang Yangqiu and said, "Wang Yangqiu, you say that the salt from Li Nan and Li Bei is from the magistrate of Zhen'an County, do you have evidence?"

Wang Yangqiu lay on the wooden board, tilted his head to look at Li Nan, and said, "My lord, I went out a few days ago and saw a caravan in the woods thirty miles east of the city, and that caravan was delivering salt to Li Nan." caravan, and I personally heard them say that they were the magistrate of Zhen'an County."

The county magistrate of Yongquan County frowned slightly, what Wang Yangqiu said was not evidence.

His words alone cannot explain anything, and there is no other evidence to prove that he heard it.

But the magistrate of Yongquan County still looked at Li Bei and the other two.

"Do you have something to say?"

At first, Li Beigang didn't know why Wang Yangqiu said that he was disobeying the order.

But after listening to Wang Yangqiu's words, Li Bei was also thinking.

Suddenly he discovered something very interesting.

The person who said he was the magistrate of Zhen'an County was said by Song Wei himself, and he said it to the leader of the red fox.

But then the leader of the red fox was beaten into a coma by Cai Hu, and then the red fox people left.

It is very likely that what they encountered was not a real red fox, but a fake one.

The person pretending to be Wang Yangqiu next to him.

Thinking about it this way, Li Bei instantly understood all his servants.

Hearing the county magistrate asking himself, Li Bei smiled.

"My lord, the grass people were also in the caravan at that time."

"And Caomin can prove that the caravan did say that he is the magistrate of Zhen'an County."

As soon as these words came out, the courtroom was extremely quiet, and Li Nan who was next to him also looked at Li Bei in shock.

What is that bastard Li Bei thinking?
Isn't he admitting that he is indeed resisting the order by saying this?
The county magistrate of Yongquan County frowned even more after hearing this.

He has been adjudicating cases for so many years, and he has never seen such an operation.

Wang Yangqiu next to him looked happy, he actually dared to admit it, I wonder what else you can say!
Just when the magistrate of Yongquan County wanted to say something, Li Bei suddenly continued.

"My lord, Caomin hasn't finished talking yet."

"We did say that at the time, but the situation was very special, because our caravan encountered a red fox!"

red fox!

As soon as these words came out, everyone on the field was shocked.

Although the red fox was exterminated by the magistrate of Zhen'an County, the magistrate of Zhen'an County also revealed that some of the red fox had escaped.

They encountered the red fox but it didn't die.

Li Bei looked at everyone, especially Wang Yangqiu who was frowning.

Wang Yangqiu felt an ominous premonition as soon as he heard Li Bei's words.

Sure enough, he was not mistaken.

"At that time, our caravan was surrounded by red foxes. We just heard that the magistrate of Zhen'an County exterminated the red foxes, so we said that we were from the county magistrate of Zhen'an County. We threatened the red foxes with this. As long as the red foxes treat us No matter what they do, the magistrate of Zhen'an County will definitely not overtake them, or even kill them all."

Li Bei continued.

After hearing these words, the county magistrate of Yongquan County nodded silently.

This method is undoubtedly a life-threatening gamble. If you win the bet, you will survive, and if you lose the bet, you will die.

The magistrate of Yongquan County looked at Wang Yangqiu and asked, "Wang Yangqiu, what else can you say?"

Wang Yangqiu's brain was running fast, if the magistrate of Yongquan County found out that he was the person who pretended to be a red fox, then he would be guilty of an even higher crime.

"My lord, when I saw them at that time, they came from the direction of Zhen'an County. They may not have lied to the red fox. What they said was true."

Wang Yangqiu thought of the location where he saw the caravan, and then said.

The county magistrate of Yongquan County also nodded, he also thought of this possibility, he just wanted to know what Wang Yangqiu wanted to say.

Without waiting for the county magistrate of Yongquan County to speak, Li Bei said again: "My lord, this caravan indeed departed from Zhen'an County."

Li Bei said something amazing again.

The magistrate of Yongquan County also raised his eyebrows. What kind of operation is this?
Li Bei just paused, and then continued: "My lord, the grass people are not from Yongquan County, but from Zhen'an County. This is the situation at that time."

"Caomin knew a salt merchant in Yushan County and introduced him to my younger brother, so my younger brother bought all his salt from the salt merchant in Yushan County."

"This time my brother bought salt, and Caomin also knew about it, so I asked the caravan of salt merchants from Yushan County to come to Zhen'an County first, and Caomin and the caravan came to Yongquan County together."

"After all, as a native of Zhen'an County, Caomin knows the deeds of the magistrate of Zhen'an County. The leader of the red fox escaped. You may encounter red foxes anywhere. This opportunity is a surprise for my brother.”

"My lord, what Caomin said is true, and the salt merchants in Yushan County can prove that the salt came from him, and the city gate guards when the caravan entered the city can also prove that the city gate guards saw the caravan at that time. bill."

Li Bei said clearly.

Li Nan on the side was dumbfounded, when did this happen?

Naturally, Li Nan didn't know what Li Bei was talking about. This was all prepared by Li Bei and Song Wei to save him when he was under house arrest.

But Li Nan was not stupid enough to show any abnormality at the moment. Although he was extremely shocked in his heart, he had no expression on the surface.

The county magistrate of Yushan County nodded. Li Bei's words were clear and easy to understand, and there were people who could prove what he said.

"Send an order to call the city gate guards who inspect the caravan to come over!"
