Chapter 168 A blind cat bumps into a dead mouse

After Zaojun's birthday, Song Huan often found that Kang would often go to the village to look around, and would return home soon. This had been repeated for two or three days.

The twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month

Song Huan came down from the mountain and happened to meet Kang who was about to walk back and shouted, "Auntie."

Kang was absent-minded. She didn't see Song Huan at all just now. When she heard Song Huan's cry, she turned around and asked, "Did Xiao Song just come down from the mountain?"

Song Huan nodded, "Auntie, what's the matter?"

Kang sighed, with worry on his face, "Da Lang has been in the city for a long time. He said before that he would come back on the day of Zao Jun's birthday, but now he is twenty-six and he hasn't come back yet. Isn't that right?"

Are you afraid something will happen to him?"

Song Huan said, "I guess there is something delayed?"

Kang shook his head, "How can anything be wrong? Li Dalang from the same village has already come back. Ask him, and he said that Dalang said he had something to do, so he asked him to come back first. Your uncle Gao went to the city to look for anyone, but he couldn't find anyone.

, this damn kid doesn’t know what’s going on, so he should go home early and let the family know!”

Song Huan and Fu Yuanzhi originally planned to go to the city to buy new year's goods tomorrow, so they said, "Where did Dalang find the day laborer? Tomorrow we will go to the county to help you take another look and look for it."

Kang thought for a moment and thought it would be a good idea, and then told Song Huan the address.

The next day, Song Huan and Fu Yuanzhi came to the place where Gao Dalang worked part-time. The steward there said that it would end on the 24th.

Song Huan said, "Aunt Kang said there are no relatives of theirs in the county, so he should have nowhere to go."

Fu Yuanzhi looked at the pedestrians coming and going and said, "But I got stuck by something."

After Fu Yuanzhi said this, he grabbed a person who was running forward in a hurry and asked, "Little brother, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

The little brother who was pulled looked at Fu Yuanzhi and Song Huan, and then said, "The county magistrate has begun to interrogate the case, and we all are going to watch the excitement!"

The little brother wanted to leave after saying that, but Fu Yuanzhi couldn't bear it and continued to ask, "Little brother, do you know what the case is?"

The little brother shook his head, "I don't know about that. When the drum sounds, doesn't that mean there's a case?"

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and if there is a case at this time, everyone should go and watch the excitement, and everyone will have something to talk about during the Chinese New Year dinner.

My little brother doesn't want to delay. If we go later, we won't be able to get a good seat.

Fu Yuanzhi and Song Huan looked at each other, and Song Huan asked tentatively, "How about we go and have a look too?"

If you follow the routine, you may get unexpected gains in the busiest places.

Fu Yuanzhi nodded.

The trial had already begun when the two arrived. Song Huan tried hard to see clearly the people inside, feeling a sense of loss in her heart.

There was no Gao Dalang they were looking for.

Song Huan put down his backpack and looked at the crowd of people crowding in front of the yamen, "What should I do?"

Fu Yuanzhi said, "Let's wait for a while."

There are so many people here. If you look carefully, you can see the people in half the county.

A teenage boy will not stay still, and they may not be able to find it if they search aimlessly on the street.

If something really happened to him, he would have the greatest chance of encountering it if he waited outside the county government office.

In this way, the two of them waited outside the county government office. Because the courtroom needed to be quiet, the voices of the county magistrate and the people inside could be heard clearly.

After the gavel made a loud bang, the county magistrate's voice came out, "Are you Li San?"

"The villain is Li San."

"Do you know what I want from you?!"

Li San thought that he had not committed anything, so he was not very scared and said, "I don't know."

The county magistrate said, "A few days ago, I received an official document saying that Tangcheng recently caught a robber who robbed in the Tangjiang River. He confessed that there is a co-criminal who lives in our city, Yuecheng. His name, address, and appearance all point to you. Can you return the favor?"

What can you say!"

When Li San heard this, his face was shocked. He kowtowed quickly and kept shouting that he was wronged, "I'm wronged! I don't know how to drive a boat, and I have never gone to the river to rob!"

The county magistrate was stunned and said sternly, "A bold thief dares to quibble. You didn't rob, so why do others say you participated? You still have all kinds of robbed property hidden in your house! Hurry up and confess one by one!"

Only then did Li San realize how powerful it was. He was so frightened that he cried. In order to clear himself up, he hurriedly listed all the property in his family.

A few feet of cloth was woven by my mother-in-law, a certain amount of rice was harvested from the fields, and a certain amount of money was paid by my neighbor Zhang Si to redeem the deed.

The county magistrate listened, wrote down everything one by one, and then said, "Are everything you said true?"

Li San nodded quickly, "Yes! What the villain said is all the truth, it's absolutely true!"

The county magistrate grunted and said, "Pass on Zhang Si!"

At this time, Li San did not realize the real reason behind this incident.

When he saw Zhang Si, his eyes were full of hope.

The county magistrate looked at Zhang Si and said, "Is the eighty taels that Li San mentioned the redemption money you returned to him?"

Zhang Si said, "Yes!"

Li San was very moved, thinking that this matter could be uncovered, but who knew, the county magistrate suddenly said, "Then why didn't you admit before that this was the 80 taels of silver that Zhang Si paid back?"

"Did Zhang Si give false evidence for you?!" the county magistrate said in a sudden and sharp voice.

When Zhang Si heard this, he quickly fell to the ground and said loudly, "I don't have a villain! I don't have a villain, my lord!"

Li Sanyi was also anxious after hearing this. This was because he had not been cleared of being an accomplice, so he quickly explained the money incident that he relied on Zhang Si, "At the beginning of this year, Erlang of Zhang Si's family fell off the slope while playing.

He fell down and was seriously injured. In order to treat Erlang's illness, Zhang Si gave me the deed of his house for ninety taels, and agreed to redeem it at the end of this year."

"No, when the agreed date came on the 22nd, Zhang Si came to pay back the money, but he only had eighty taels in his hand. He said that after his wife borrowed the money back in a few days, he would return the remaining ten taels.

I."

The county magistrate asked Zhang Si, "Have you paid back the remaining ten taels of silver?"

Zhang Si immediately replied, "I went to return it on the 24th, but..."

Zhang Si looked at Li San, who was downcast and blushing, and said, "It's just that Li San refused to return the house deed to the villain. He also said that he had never received the eighty taels of silver that the villain had previously paid."

In order to clear his accomplice's name, Li San also admitted, "Yes, yes. The villain, the villain, got lost in his mind for a moment, so..."

Seeing that the matter had been settled clearly, the county magistrate directly asked Li San to return the house deed document to Zhang Si.

It turned out that after Li San defaulted on his account, Zhang Si sued the government in anger and told the county magistrate what happened.

The county magistrate did indeed receive the official document, but it was not Li San.

With this move, the county magistrate clarified the matter, and Li San also saw at this time that there was no accomplice, but he was just deceiving him, and the purpose was to return the contract to Zhang Si.

Just as the magistrate was about to leave the court, someone rushed into the court before the government officials could react, shouting that Mr. Qingtian would make the decision for him.

Song Huan and Fu Yuanzhi also saw clearly at this time, the person here was Gao Dalang!

Song Huan thought, she was ready to leave to buy new year's goods, and this person just came out like this?

Is this really a blind cat meeting a dead mouse?
