Li Yuanfa was silent.
Even though he knew that Mr. Zhu Si would not admit it, now that he heard it with his own ears, he still felt chilled in his heart.
He was really responsible for these two boxes of banned books. It didn't take long for his heart and neck to feel cold.
"I, villain..." Li Yuanfa's chaotic head suddenly flashed with a flash of inspiration.
That young nobleman was so right!
Li Yuanfa is just a thief!
The gold bricks and banned books are not his from beginning to end.
"Oh, Mr. Qingtian, the villain told the truth, every word is the truth!" Li Yuanfa said, "The villain lied before, but now everything he tells is the truth.
How could a person like the villain pass down gold bricks from his ancestors? There is no such family background at all.
The villain came to dig in Lao Shi Alley because he accidentally heard other people talking mysteriously, talking about gold and gold.
The villain is obsessed with digging for gold, but this is simply a mistake of the villain.
"There is a house of gold in a book." People regard books as gold, but a common man thinks they are big gold bricks!
If the villain had thought of this earlier, he would not have become a thief!
If you really stole two boxes of ordinary books, it would be fine. At most, you would be squatting in jail. You never expected that they would be banned books. It was really a waste of money and gold. "
Xu Jian folded her arms and listened to Li Yuan's anxious and clever stories, which was very enjoyable.
It's a little worse than the little princess's ability to make things up.
However, after all, it was in court, with businessmen versus officials, and Li Yuanfa was pretty good at braiding.
Shan Shen was so angry that his beard trembled.
"Is there a golden house in the book?" He pointed at Li Yuanfa and cursed, "You are stupid to be an official. Do you listen to these nonsense?"
Li Yuanfa was heartbroken and said with a pinched neck, "How about you ask Mr. Zhu Si? The villain does know him, but he doesn't know the villain."
After saying the cruel words, he still knew that he was a prisoner, so he shrank his neck and shrank into a ball again.
Shan Shenqi returned to Qi and did not allow any punishment. He only asked the Yamen servants to take Li Yuanfa back and replace him with someone else.
Waiting for the replacement, Xu Jian said: "In the yamen, you still have a good temper, but in the army, you are not polite at all when dealing with tough-talking prisoners."
"It definitely can't be the same." Shan Shen agreed.
"Does Mr. Shan believe that he has no contact with Zhu Cheng?" Xu Jian asked again.
Shan Shen chuckled.
If he believed that Zhu Cheng had nothing to do with the case, what kind of reinforcements would he bring to the imperial study?
"Zhu Cheng won't admit it easily," Xu Jian pretended to think, and suggested to Shan Shen, "I have no intention of interfering, I just want to make Zhu Cheng relent, and I will get both the spoils and the spoils, right?"
Shan Shen rolled his eyes when he heard this.
It was getting dark.
Li Yuanfa and Xi Dong's brothers and sisters left Shuntian Mansion in embarrassment.
The official kept nagging: "Come back to the Yamen tomorrow morning to report. Don't take any chances, otherwise it won't be as simple as a fine of silver."
Li Yuanfa rubbed his hands and said: "Master, don't worry, don't worry, I will definitely come."
Xi Dongjia was still confused: "Can we really leave?"
"I can leave, I can leave!" Li Yuanfa dragged the person away from Shuntian Mansion. "I made up a story in front of the official. Maybe they believed it. Didn't they come out first after paying the money?"
Xi Dongjia felt extremely uneasy.
There are two boxes of banned books. I haven't found out yet. Could it be that Li Yuanfa just compiled them casually?
Even the most ordinary thief must be convicted if he is caught in the yamen, right?
Just pay the money and you'll get it out. Is Shuntian Mansion a place that's so greedy for money?
But let him go back to jail and squat...
"Let's go," Xi Dongjia said, "go back and step on the brazier and change your clothes..."
Li Yuanfa smelled it.
The rain had stained the mud, and after it had dried, he had been squatting in the prison until now. He smelled really bad, but he had no intention of washing or changing clothes. He had to let Mr. Zhu Si smell it too.
His family has suffered such a big crime, and Mr. Zhu Si has to give up everything, so he has to think of a way to escape, right?
In Shuntian Mansion, Shan Shen returned to the back hall and sat down after saying, "You must keep up with those two people."
Xu Jian ate tea and looked through the case files.
Shan Shen's heart beat suddenly.
The idea of baiting for fishing was inspired by Xu Jian. But having said that, Shan Fuyin could think of such an unruly method of handling cases, but he had never boldly used it before.
It is not easy to wear the official hat. Being too bold will naturally increase the possibility of making achievements, but it will be easier to pack up and go home.
If Princess Fuguo hadn't taken the initiative to share the burden with the emperor, Shan Shen really wouldn't have gritted his teeth and settled the matter.
I hope Li Yuanfa can live up to his expectations.
Looking at Duke Fu again, Shan Shen thought to himself that even though he was sent to sit in charge by the Holy Master, this statue of Bodhisattva had not wasted its incense and was actually quite serious.
After reading the theft case files, I asked the master for the previous case files on the fire in Laoshi Alley.
Xu Jian read it from beginning to end.
As Uncle Chengyi told him, the last major overhaul recorded in the government was in the 24th year of Taixing. As for the 28th year, there is no record from beginning to end.
Apparently, the servant buried the gold by secretly digging out the foundation and then re-laying the bricks.
At that time, the owner of this house was Shi Jiao, a businessman from Jinzhong, and the tenant was his fellow villager named Xiang. There were five people living in the house, his wife, children, and his wife.
Shi Jiao himself died of illness four years ago. When the property was divided, a total of thirteen sets of land deeds in Laoshi Lane owned by the Shi family were distributed to his younger son. This time, Shuntian Mansion brokered the sale to Jing Daduan and Gao An.
As for tenant Xiang’s family, his wife also passed away. After the Lao Shi Lane was flooded at the beginning of the year, they simply moved back to their hometown.
"The compensation money was distributed not long ago, has his family come to collect it?" Xu Jian asked.
Shan Shen said: "It's a long way between the two places. I've already sent the message, but no one has come yet."
Xu Jian wrote this down first.
If we continue the follow-up investigation, we should be able to find out whether it is Shi Jiao or the Xiang family who is closely connected with the servant.
After closing the file, Xu Jian pressed his eyebrows.
It must be easy to do things in the yamen.
If you sincerely want to read this file, you need to make up a reason why Shan Shen is not overly concerned.
It's not as if he came here under orders and could see whatever he wanted, just as he was told.
At this time, Lin Yu and his colleagues bowed their hands and prepared to go home.
Around Qianbu Corridor, oil lamps were lit in many government offices.
The officials in the lower office walked together for a few steps and casually talked about some unimportant new things.
Lin Yue passed by and could hear a few words.
Suddenly, he heard the name "Fu Guogong", and Lin Yu slowed down his steps slightly.
Listen to the next one...
Has Duke Fu gone to Shuntian Mansion?
He passed as soon as he came out of the royal study room, so he must have received the holy will.
When he heard that Shan Fuyin was also in the imperial study, Lin Yue immediately figured out the details.
Duke Fu seemed young and ignored court affairs, but as soon as he made a move, he went straight to the center.
He was the one who stuffed the banned books behind his back, and he was the one who sat in Shuntian Mansion and intervened in the investigation. The result of the investigation...
Not only was his own family kept clean, but no one who wanted to get involved could escape.
Unless the enemy can immediately uncover the background of Jing Daduo and Gao An, everything will be under Xu Jian's control.
This set of fists and kicks is so courageous.
