Sweet pet: The queen is delicate and soft

"You still have the nerve to say that you gave me some silver! Your little silver is not enough to buy good food!"

When Wang Er heard what Li Si said, he retorted fiercely.

Li Si didn't say it was okay. He took advantage of his height and forcefully took away the best food from his family with only a little silver left. Now he is making strong arguments in front of the county boss.

"Li Si, how much silver did you give Wang Er? How much grain did you take from him?"

"Sir, the common people took Wang Er and one stone of grain and gave him a total of money."

"You bullshit!"

Wang Er became even more excited when he heard Li Si's reply.

"It's true that you took away one stone of food, but you only gave me six hundred coins."

"You're talking nonsense! What evidence do you have to prove that I only gave you six hundred coins?"

Li Si questioned Wang Er loudly, then looked at the magistrate in the hall and said, "Master County, you have to make the decision for me. Wang Er actually wants to unjustly kill me."

At this time, the officer next to him scolded him and said, "What are you arguing about? I won't believe you don't tell the truth under severe torture."

After saying that, he actually took Wang Er directly to hit the board.

"Stop! Severe punishment will lead to unjust imprisonment! Who taught you to interrogate like this!"

The yamen servant was scolded sharply by the magistrate and immediately stood aside with his head lowered.

The magistrate in the hall glanced at the yamen servant in warning, then looked at Li Si and asked, "What are you holding wrapped in money for Wang Er?"

"Return to my lord, the common man is holding something wrapped in a soft cloth."

"Wang Er, is Li Si telling the truth?"

"My lord, Li Si did wrap it in a piece of soft cloth and gave it to the common people."

Wang Er agreed with Li Si's words. At that time, he indeed took out a bag of silver wrapped in soft cloth from his arms, threw it to himself, and ran away with the grain carriage.

Hearing this, the prefect nodded and asked again: "Has the soft cloth been tied?"

"My lord, it's tied up and wrapped tightly. We've obviously agreed on a total of money, but when I opened the soft cloth and counted it, there was only [-] coins inside, but Li Si drove away directly."

"Okay, I understand."

After the magistrate finished speaking, he looked at Li Si and asked: "Is Wang Er telling the truth? Is the cloth tied and wrapped tightly?"

"My lord, it is indeed tightly wrapped, but there is always money inside. Wang Er must want more money, so now he comes to slander me in front of your lord."

"I didn't slander you! You obviously only gave me [-] yuan!"

"You're talking nonsense! It's obviously just money! You must be greedy and want to defraud me of another four hundred yuan."

The two of them were in the hall, and they were quarreling with each other.

"Okay! Stop arguing. Wang Er, did you bring the soft cloth wrapped with the money?"

After the prefect asked, Wang Er took out a piece of soft cloth from his arms.

"Come back to my lord, the grassroots have brought it."

"Well, Li Si, look at it, is this the soft cloth you gave Wang Er?"

Li Si took a closer look and replied: "Sir, it is exactly this piece of soft cloth."

"Okay, wait a moment, you two. We will know soon which one of you is telling the truth. Wang Er, bring the piece of cloth in your hand to me."

Wang Er followed the instructions, stepped forward and handed the soft cloth in his hand to the prefect.

Gu Nian watched the adults in the hall turn over the piece of cloth for a while, and then gave orders to the yamen servants.

"Go and bring me some money."

The yamen servant quickly took out a lot of money and presented it to the prefect.

I saw the prefect put the money into a soft cloth, but the soft cloth could not wrap the money.

The prefect took apart the money again, took out only [-] coins and put it into the cloth, but it was just enough to wrap it up and tie it according to the original folds.

There was no need for the prefect to say anything at this point, everyone present knew who had lied.

Waves of fierce applause and cheers erupted from the crowd.

Gu Nian glanced at Xiao Mobai and saw appreciation in his eyes towards the prefect.

Seeing that the matter was revealed, Li Si hurriedly made an excuse.

"The villain must have picked up the wrong bag of money, and thought that the money given to Wang Er was all due to the villain's mistake."

"Well, since it was a mistake, let's give the remaining four hundred coins to Wang Er."

The prefect stopped Li Si's acting in time and put an end to the farce.

Now that the interrogation was over, Li Si also paid Wang Er more money, and the people dispersed.

When the crowd was almost gone, the prefect said to the government servant standing in the corner: "I know you are related to Li Si, so we won't do it again!"

Although it was a light sentence, the warning contained in it was full of meaning. After the yamen officer responded, he actually wiped the sweat from his cheeks. It can be seen that this sentence alone gave him a lot of deterrence.

"The prefect is really amazing. He gave us a wonderful show."

Just when the prefect was about to turn around and go back, a voice suddenly came from the door.

The magistrate looked back and saw a man and woman in purple standing at the door. These two people were Xiao Mobai and Gu Nian.

The prefect raised his eyebrows when he saw the two of them. Just now I felt that the identities of these two people were unusual. After trying a case, I originally forgot about their existence, but I didn't expect that the two of them hadn't left yet.

The prefect walked quickly to Xiao Mobai, without any airs of being an official.

"I noticed you two just now. Since you two haven't left yet, I must be looking for something from Chen."

"I wonder if it would be convenient for Mr. Chen to come to the house to talk about it?"

Xiao Mobai's request was both abrupt and rude. Under normal circumstances, no one would agree.

But when the prefect heard this, he hesitated for a moment, then made an invitation gesture and invited the two of them into the mansion.

For some reason, Magistrate Chen only felt that Xiao Mobai had an aura that made him want to surrender.

Since the other party has made a request, he must comply.

"Thank you."

Xiao Mobai did not exchange greetings with Magistrate Chen, and walked into the gate of the government office with long legs.

As he walked, he didn't forget to accommodate Gu Nian's footsteps.

Although Gu Nian has grown a lot in recent years, there is still a certain height gap between him and him who has long arms and legs.

On weekdays, Xiao Mobai would either accommodate Gu Nian's pace, or simply hug her and walk away. It's just that the current situation is not suitable for hugging Gu Nian.

The attentive Magistrate Chen obviously noticed this and was extremely surprised.

I didn't expect that such a kingly man could be so accommodating to a woman on such a trivial matter.

Although he accommodated Gu Nian, Gu Nian's pace was not slow, and the three of them quickly reached the main hall of the magistrate.

Without waiting for the magistrate to speak, Xiao Mobai took Gu Nian and walked straight to the main seat in the lobby. He helped Gu Nian sit on it while he sat on the chair closest to the main seat.
