Master Luo Cao

Li Tian overbearingly said: "My father is stingy by nature, the yard is very far away, and there are not many houses around."

Li Tianzhu said: "And my father has a bad temper, few people can get along with him."

"That is to say..." Fu Yunshu propped his chin with one hand and said quietly: "You two are talking empty words?"

The two fell silent, and then shouted again—"My lord! My father did tell me to give me all the inheritance before he left. It's absolutely true!" "My lord! My father can never leave such a will, he must be lying!"

Fu Yunshu waved his hand, signaling for the two to be quiet, "Li Tianba, since all of your father's inheritance is now in your hands, then tell me how much your father left behind?"

Li Tianba said calmly: "It's just that dilapidated courtyard."

Fu Yunshu asked: "Really?"

Li Tian overbearing: "Really!"

Li Tianzhu suddenly said in a strange way: "How much is such a remote and dilapidated courtyard worth? My eldest brother has a lot of money, yet he is holding on to it and refuses to let go?"

"That's right," Fu Yunshu asked, "Since it's just a dilapidated courtyard, Li Tianzhu is poor, and you are rich, so what if you just give it to him?"

"My lord, you don't know something," Li Tianba said, "Li Tianzhu is addicted to gambling. Before he died, my father told me that we must not give him our old yard, otherwise he might turn around and sell it for money. Although I don't care about gambling houses, since it is my father's last order, I should obey it."

Li Tianzhu's face suddenly became ferocious, and he almost gritted his teeth and said: "A will is a will. After all, when the father left, only you were by his side. There is no proof of death. Now, what exactly did he say before he left? Don't you let yourself be careless?" Compilation?!"

Li Tianba cried out for injustice: "My lord, what the villain said is absolutely not false!"

Li Tianzhu also shouted: "My lord, the villain is not convinced by Li Tianba's words!"

Their yelling gave Fu Yunshu a headache. He frowned and said in a low voice, "The state owns the state law, and this county will deal with it fairly. Why are you yelling?"

The two fell silent for a moment.

Fu Yunshu said again: "Li Tianba said that Li's father handed over all his property to himself at the end of his life. There is no suicide note and no witnesses, so it cannot be proved."

Li Tianzhu showed joy, "My lord is wise!"

Li Tianba exclaimed in surprise, "My lord!"

Fu Yunshu said: "It's just that Li Tianzhu has no evidence to prove the distribution of Li's father's property. According to the law of our dynasty, Li's father's wealth should be divided equally between your brothers. Since Li's father's inheritance is only a courtyard, then it is up to this The county is the master, and if you sell the land deed and the house deed, you will each get half of the proceeds."

Li Tianba cried out in pain: "My lord is confused, but what the villain said is true, my father has indeed entrusted me with the house..."

Li Tianzhu also shouted: "My lord, don't judge like this!"

Fu Yunshu was slightly surprised, and said to Li Tianzhu: "It's fine if Li Tianba has objections, do you think it's unfair?"

Li Tianzhu babbled for a long time, blushed and stammered: "The villain doesn't want money, the villain wants that yard..."

Fu Yunshu asked in bewilderment, "Why?"

Li Tianzhu said: "Although the courtyard is small, it is the place where the villain grew up. He has feelings and cannot bear to see it fall into the hands of others. And now the villain has no fixed place to live and is looking for a place that can shelter from the wind and rain." Son……"

"What you said is reasonable, but now that the judgment has been made, it cannot be changed without authorization. Half of this yard belongs to your elder brother. If you really want this yard, you can buy the other half from your elder brother at your own expense." Suddenly a person walked out, and when he raised his eyes, the sky suddenly brightened, and the gloomy courtroom suddenly became clear.Kou Luoche bowed slightly to Fu Yunshu, "County Lord." He nodded to Xu Meng, "Xu County Chancellor."

It has been a long time since Fu Yunshu went to trial with Kou Luoche in the courtroom, and now he is happy to see him, but thinking of Brother Kou's invitation tonight, maybe he will leave tomorrow, he is very melancholy, his mood is complicated for a while, low The voice echoed: "Brother Kou."

Xu Mengdao: "It's been a long time, Mr. Kou. I heard that there was an accident a few days ago. Are you still in good health?"

Kou Luoche said: "Thanks to Xu Xiancheng's care, I can't die yet."

Li Tianzhu struggled for a long time, finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I will give half of the money to Li Tianba, and I have the right to buy this yard!"

Li Tianba glared at him and said, "I'll sell you if you buy it? I'm not as good as you want!"

"Brother," Kou Luoche persuaded, "I know you don't want your house to fall into other people's hands, but if you sell the yard, you two will share it equally. It's really not very wise. Why don't you follow your brother's wishes and sell the yard to him, believing that he has worked so hard and won't change hands easily. Anyway, he is a biological brother. Selling it to him is worse than giving it to an outsider. What do you think?"

Li Tianba suddenly fell into hesitation.

Li Tianzhu took the opportunity to succumb and said kind words, "Brother, I was an asshole in the past. I regretted my father's death and decided to be a good person from now on. Please take pity on me and give me this chance!"

Li Tianba sighed, "Okay, I'll trust you again."

Li Tianzhu was beaming with joy, and said repeatedly: "Thank you, brother!"

After leaving the hall, Li Tianzhu immediately took Li Tianba to change the house deed and the land deed. A case was successfully resolved. Fu Yunshu was a little happy in his heart, and raised his eyebrows happily at Kou Luoche, as if saying, "Look at me."Kou Luoche laughed dumbfounded, and said, "Do you think what Li Tianba said is true or not?"

"It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not," Fu Yunshu said: "The important thing is that Li Tianba has no evidence. According to the law, he should be sentenced like this." The two passed by the small lake in the back garden. , The lotus leaves are connected to the sky, and the sound is heard in the ear.The two were standing under a tree, the glaring sunlight leaked through the shadow of the tree, turned into mottled light and shadows and fell on Kou Luoqi's face, with the breeze blowing, Fu Yunshu took a deep breath, and the fragrance of lotus lingered on the tip of his nose.

He suddenly thought, if time could stop at this moment, it would be great.

Kou Luoche lazily leaned against the tree, and said, "It doesn't matter the law, let's chat casually. If there is no law, how would you judge it?"

"Hmm..." Fu Yunshu pondered for a moment, and said, "Anyone who claims that a lawsuit is suspicious, would rather bend his younger brother than his elder brother. The matter is a matter of fighting for property, and he would rather bend his township eunuchs than to save the disadvantages (Note 1). Tianba's family has a lot of money, but Li Tianzhu is just a tenant who can't eat enough to eat, and because of this incident, Li Tianba beats him all over his body. From what I think, it is probably Li Tianba who bullied Li Tianzhu, who has no power and power, and took away his property. Seeing that he was dragged to court for trial, and there was no real evidence in his hand, he was willing to give in and take a step back. Even if there is no such law, Li Tianzhu should be compensated."

"That's right." Kou Luoche said indifferently: "It's just that although the sentence should be like this, it may not be right."

Fu Yunshu asked: "How do you say that?"

Kou Luoche said: "Although the eunuchs in the village are rich, they are not necessarily at fault; even though the common people are poor, they are not at the mercy of mermaids."

Fu Yunshu was taken aback, "You mean, Li Tianba is telling the truth? Father Li really left the yard to him?"

"Li Tianba has no evidence to prove what he said is true, and the county magistrate's judgment is not wrong." Kou Luoche said: "It's just that you don't know the truth, and neither do I. Only the Li brothers know it well." See Fu Yunshu fell into deep thought, he suddenly smiled slyly and said, "Would the county lord be willing to bet with me?"

Fu Yunshu was startled, "How to gamble?"

Kou Luoche said: "Bet on the Li brothers, who is right and who is wrong. I bet what Li Tianba said is true."

"Then I bet that Li Tianba is lying!" Fu Yunshu also became interested, and said with a smile, "What about the bet?"

Kou Luoche said: "Whoever wins can instruct the other party to do one thing."

Almost instantly, Fu Yunshu thought about his request after winning. He rolled his eyes and asked tentatively, "What if it's an unreasonable request?"

Kou Luoche asked: "Murder and set fire?"

Fu Yunshu laughed and said, "I'm not a bandit."

"Even if it's murder and arson, I will do it for you." Kou Luoche said with a smile: "The premise is that you have to win me."

The little county magistrate was full of confidence, "Just wait and see, I will definitely win!"

Kou Luoche smiled and said, "Then let's wait and see."

The small county magistrate felt that he had the chance to win, and immediately ordered someone to find out the location of the Li family's courtyard, dragged Kou Luojia and rode there. Sure enough, as they said, the courtyard was located in a desolate and remote place, and they didn't see many people along the way. family.The two picked the nearest one and knocked on the door. A white-haired old woman poked her head out from the back of the courtyard door, looked at the two young people in front of her with dizzy eyes, and asked tremblingly, "You two... What's the matter?"

"Grandma, go a little further. There is a yard there. Do you know the owner of the yard?" Fu Yunshu was handsome, and when he smiled, a dimple appeared on the side of his mouth, making him even more cute, which caught Grandma's eyes very much. , replied cheerfully: "I know, he is an old man named Li, but if you look for him, you will be late. He died of old age a while ago, and the funeral has been done."

Kou Luoche is good at making up lies, he closed his eyes and opened his mouth and said, "We are distant relatives of that family. A few days ago, the elders in the family heard the news of the death of the Li family's father, and specially sent us to express their condolences."

"Oh, that's right." The old woman said, "I didn't expect that that eccentric old man would be remembered by anyone."

"Of course someone remembers it," Kou Luoche asked tentatively, "Didn't he still have two sons?"

"The elder son is okay, he still visits from time to time, and sometimes he asks his wife to come over to help take care of him, but the younger son is as if he hadn't been born." The old woman shook her head and said.

Fu Yunshu was suddenly nervous, "How about his little son?"

The old woman said: "When his father was still able to work, he often came here, just to ask for money. Since his father died of a stroke, I haven't seen his shadow again, except for the funeral... Oh, that's right!" The old woman seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly said: "If you want to find his family, it's just in time, his unfilial young son just came!"

Kou Luoche asked: "Just passed?"

"That's right!" the old woman said, "I also brought a large group of people, who looked so fierce that they didn't look like good people. A large group of people went to his yard, and they didn't know what to do."

The author has something to say:

Note 1: In the original text, "those who claim that any lawsuit is suspicious, would rather bend their brother than their elder brother; would rather bend their nephew than their uncle; would rather bend their nephew than their uncle; would rather bend their rich people than their poor; and would rather bend their stubbornness than their stupidity. , rather than Qu Xiaomin, I would rather Qu Township eunuchs in order to save the disadvantages."
