From Kowloon's Inheritance

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Qian family said: "In the past six months, only the third child has had a sore throat, everyone knows it!"

The second daughter-in-law of the Qian family said: "Everyone knows that Xiaocui is the third wife!"

"If it's not the third child, who is it?" The second lady said, "The parents and officials just happened to come to investigate the case, Xiao Cui was suspected, but Xiao Cui happened to be dead, so whoever it is if it's not the third child!"

The third lady said: "Third son, the old man treats you well, why did you kill your father!"

Everyone is accusing, accusing everyone, and all unfavorable evidence points to Qian Xiucai.

Qian Xiucai immediately turned pale, and said in fear, "I didn't kill my father, it wasn't me?"

The fourth lady said: "If it's not you, who is it? You are guilty of being a thief. If you are not guilty, why are you pale and your hands trembling?"

Qian Xiucai said: "Sun Jiachen of the Sun family is the murderer who killed his father and so on, but I am not. Sun Jiachen has already confessed, but Miss Sun's family went to the county government and gave money, so you let him go, but you are wronged Me? I don't accept it, I don't accept it!"

"If you don't accept it, you have to accept it!"

Li Mu sneered and said, "Ms. Sun's family did come to the door to intercede. I just said that I will not let a bad person go, and I will not wrong a good person. That's all. As for the evidence, if you want evidence, I will give it to you." evidence!"

"The Qian family has a dog?" Li Mu asked.

The second wife said: "Yes, the Qian family has four dogs, and they take care of the house!"

Li Mudao: "If a bandit enters Qian's house, the dog must be poisoned to death. Otherwise, the dog will be exposed if it barks. But has the Qian's dog ever been poisoned to death?"

The second wife said: "No, the four dogs are fine!"

Li Mudao: "This also proves that it is not the outside thieves, but the inside thieves. Because the dog will not bark when it encounters the inside thieves. Only this one is to wash away the grievances of the Sun family. And again It proves that the murderer was committed by the inside of the Qian family. As for Xiao Cui's death, it also proves this point. Is what I said justified?"

Everyone said in unison, "My lord is right!"

Wang Shuli nominated and wrote, very fast and accurate.

"The murderer who killed Qian Juren must be the Qian family?" Li Mu shouted: "Only you are the most suspected. As for the others, is it the second wife, the third wife, or the fourth wife? They have no motive for the murder, nor did they commit the crime For the reason, only you are the most suspect!"

Chapter 15 A Stick of Incense

"Not me, not me!"

Qian Xiucai panicked.

"It's not you, who is it?" Li Mu shouted: "It's not you, who would kill someone to silence you! Give me evidence of your absence, give me a reason why you were wronged?"

Immediately, Qian Xiucai was speechless.

In this era, a case can be judged as long as it is reasonable, and there is no need for strong evidence.If evidence is needed to decide all cases, most cases may not be judged, and the county magistrate will not have to do anything all day long.

Sentencing for evidence is also reasonable and legal.

"Come on, tie him up and take him to the county government!" Li Mu shouted.

Immediately, Qian Xiucai was tied up and left Qian's house directly.On the eve of leaving, Li Mu seemed to have thought of something, stepped forward to pick up the bowl, and took it away as evidence.

After returning to the county government, an order was issued, so Sun Jiachen was released without charge, and Qian Xiucai went to prison.

When we arrived at the county government office, looking at the bowl, Li Mu fell into deep thought, "There is still not enough evidence. Even though there is not enough evidence, we can be convicted, but there is still something wrong. There are fingerprints at night, the fingerprints of the servant girl Xiaocui, and the fingerprints of the murderer." , if the fingerprint can be printed directly, it will be more perfect!"

"Without modern equipment, how to print fingerprints!"

Li Mu was thinking.

On Blue Star, a fingerprint mold is needed to print fingerprints, and even the simplest ones need tape to print fingerprints. But now that there is a lack of all props, it is difficult or even almost impossible to complete fingerprints.

"How to!"

Li Mu thought for a long time, but he still couldn't figure it out.

Suddenly, the footsteps of the yamen servant came.

Li Mu looked up, only to see Sun Jiachen appeared, and his daughter Sun Mengxi.Although their spirits were a little sluggish, they were in a good state at the moment because they were acquitted.

"See you sir!"

Sun Jiachen knelt down on the ground, and Sun Mengxi knelt down on the ground too.

"Get up, you are wronged!" Li Mu said, "I have said that, I will not wrong any good person, nor will I let any bad person go!"

"My lords, clean up the grievances of the little people, how can the little people play around!" Sun Jiachen said: "This is 3 taels of silver, please accept it!"

As he spoke, he took out 3 taels of silver bills and delivered them directly.

puff!

Li Mu was also speechless.

What a wonderful time.

On Blue Star, if the court made a wrong decision, it is not possible to pay compensation; and if the yamen wronged someone, they would beat him up regardless of the situation, but there was no compensation, and Sun Jiachen gave him 72 taels of silver instead.

"This, my officer, I'm sorry to accept it!" Li Mu said, he was very thick-skinned, but at the moment he was also red and flustered.

Sun Jiachen said: "My lord, this is not for you, but the roads in the county town haven't been repaired for a long time. It's time to build the roads. This is money for road repairs for the common people, not for the lord!"

It sounded good, but it fell into Li Mu's wallet, and he still didn't let him say it.

"Forget it!" Li Mu nodded and accepted the 3 taels of silver.

After all, he underestimated the power of the county magistrate.

In the eyes of later generations, the county magistrate is just a small official of the seventh rank, which seems to be very worthless.

But in this era, the county magistrate is very powerful, as the so-called county magistrate who ransacked the house, assassinated the family.

It is common for county magistrates to ransack their homes and destroy their families.

When a county magistrate takes office in a certain place, if he doesn't do the job of ransacking his family and destroying his family, how can he deter local snakes, how can he collect taxes, and how can he be worthy of his reputation as a parent official.

If he didn't accept it, Sun Jiachen would be restless instead.

Watching Li Mu accept the banknotes, Sun Jiachen heaved a sigh of relief. How much money he earns is not important, the important thing is to enjoy the money.

No matter how much money you have, you are still a bastard. If you lose your life, everything will be in vain.The old man accepted his money, at least it proved that the old man still wanted to kill pigs, but just wanted to shear sheep.

Right now, he's safe.

"My lord, Xiaomin will leave!" Sun Jiachen said goodbye and left.

Li Mu just nodded, ignored it, and continued to think about how to print fingerprints while walking.
