"If it's not you, who is it?" Li Mu shouted: "If it's not you, who would kill someone and silence them! Give me evidence of your alibi, give me a reason why you were wrongly accused?"
Suddenly, Qian Xiucai was speechless.
In this era, as long as the case is reasonable, it does not require strong evidence. If evidence was needed to decide all cases, most cases would not be decided, and the county magistrate would have nothing to do all day long.
Punishing someone for evidence is reasonable and legal.
"Come here, tie him up and take him to the county government office!" Li Mu shouted.
Immediately, Qian Xiucai was tied up and left directly from Qian's house. On the eve of leaving, Li Mu seemed to have thought of something. He stepped forward, picked up the bowl, and took it away as evidence.
He returned to the county government and issued an order, so Sun Jiachen was acquitted and Qian Xiucai went to prison.
When he arrived at the county government office and looked at the bowl, Li Mu fell into deep thought, "There is still insufficient evidence. Although the evidence is insufficient, we can still convict, but there is still something missing. There were fingerprints at night, the fingerprints of the maid Xiaocui, and the fingerprints of the murderer.
, it would be even more perfect if fingerprints could be printed directly!”
"How can we print fingerprints without modern equipment?"
Li Mu was thinking.
On Blue Star, you need a fingerprint mold to print fingerprints, and the simplest one also requires tape to print fingerprints. But now that all props are lacking, it is difficult to print fingerprints... It can even be said that it is almost impossible to complete.
Task.
"What to do!"
Li Mu thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out the reason.
Suddenly, the footsteps of a government servant were heard.
Li Mu looked up and saw Sun Jiachen and his daughter Sun Mengxi appearing. Although they were a little depressed, they were in good condition at the moment because they were acquitted.
"Greetings, my lord!"
Sun Jiachen knelt on the ground, and Sun Mengxi also knelt on the ground.
"Get up, you have been wronged!" Li Mu said, "I have said that I will not wrongly accuse any good person, nor will I let any bad person go!"
"My parents, please clean up the grievances of the common people. How can the common people have such fun!" Sun Jiachen said: "This is thirty thousand taels of silver. Please accept it!"
With that said, he took out a thirty thousand tael of silver and handed it over directly.
Poof!
Li Mu was also speechless.
What a wonderful era.
On Blue Star, if the court makes a wrong decision, compensation is not allowed; but when the Yamen wrongly accuses someone, they just beat him up regardless of the situation, but there is no compensation. Instead, Sun Jiachen gives him thirty thousand taels.
silver.
"This, sir, I'm sorry to accept it!" Li Mu said, he was very thick-skinned, but he was also blushing and panicking at this moment.
Sun Jiachen said: "Sir, this is not for you, but the roads in the county town have not been repaired for a long time. It is time to build roads. This money is for the people to build roads, not for the master!"
It was nice to say it, but it was in Li Mu's wallet, so he didn't let him say it.
"Forget it!" Li Mu nodded and accepted the thirty thousand taels of silver notes.
After all, he underestimated the power of the county magistrate.
In the eyes of later generations, the county magistrate was just a minor official of the seventh rank, and seemed very worthless.
But in this era, the power of the county magistrate is very powerful. It is said that the magistrate who confiscates the family is the governor who destroys the family.
Confiscating homes and exterminating families is a common occurrence for county magistrates.
When a county magistrate takes up his post in a certain place, how can he deter the local gangsters, how can he collect taxes, and how can he live up to his reputation as an official if he does not engage in the job of confiscating homes and exterminating families?
If he didn't accept it, Sun Jiachen would be restless.
Seeing Li Mu accept the banknote, Sun Jiachen breathed a sigh of relief. It doesn't matter how much money he makes, what's important is that he lives to enjoy the money.
No matter how much money he has, he is still a bastard. If he loses his life, everything will be in vain. The fact that the elder accepted his money at least proves that the elder does not want to kill the pig now, but just wants to shear the sheep.
Now, he is still safe.
"Master, please leave!" With that, Sun Jiachen said goodbye and left.
Li Mu just nodded and ignored it, continuing to think about how to print fingerprints while walking.
Suddenly I saw that Sun Mengxi was still here.
"Miss Sun, why are you staying here?" Li Mu said.
"Sir, I saved my little girl's father. I have nothing to repay, but I am willing to give myself to you as a slave, to make mattresses and quilts, and to take care of your daily life!" Sun Mengxi said.
"Girl, it's better to leave!" Li Mu said calmly: "I don't plan to get married for the time being. Getting married is too troublesome!"
In my previous life, I was young and ignorant. I had three girlfriends with outstanding looks, and it was extremely pleasurable to have sex with each other. But later I realized that women are troublesome and have terrible big heads.
Beauty is important, but he is more afraid of trouble.
Sun Mengxi said: "The eldest sir is a county magistrate, and he was born in Tanhua. In the future, he will be granted the title of marquis and become the prime minister. It's not a problem. A little girl is born as an ordinary girl, so naturally she has no chance of becoming a wife. Being a concubine is enough!"
Li Mu smiled and said: "My concubine's status is very low! Why should I, girl, wrong myself!"
Sun Mengxi said: "I would rather be a hero's concubine than a mediocre wife!"
Li Mu was speechless.
Just like in the previous life, I would rather be someone's mistress than someone's girlfriend.
"You guys are really good at calculating!" Li Mu said in his heart. Firstly, he is the courtier and the county magistrate, so he is a diamond stock. Marrying him as a concubine will actually not disadvantage you; secondly, marrying him as a concubine will not hurt you.
I also bought insurance for the Sun family.
Instead of suffering a loss, you will actually make a lot of money.
"I would rather be a hero's concubine than a mediocre wife. You have good backbone and ambition!" Li Mu said: "But just having ambition is not enough. You also need to have ability! Not just any woman can be an official.
My concubine. The concubine who wants to be my official must have outstanding appearance, but she is too ugly, so don’t do it!”
Sun Mengxi nodded and said, "How does that little girl look?"
Li Mu said: "You are just a pretty person, not outstanding! You just barely passed the exam!"
Sun Mengxi said: "What else?"
"Could it be a vase?" Li Mu said: "It proves that you have a skill, proves your talent. For example, right now, we are encountering a problem. Look at this bowl, there are handprints and fingerprints... How do you make rubbings?
There is only one stick of incense left to show your fingerprints!"
"If you can't do it, please leave!"
Li Mu said calmly: "No one is qualified to be a hero's concubine! There is only one stick of incense in time!"
With that said, Li Mu stepped forward, took out a stick of incense and lit it directly.
Waiting quietly, and then expecting Sun Mengxi to fail and be eliminated directly.
Sun Mengxi fell silent.
Thinking about the solution, a trace of reluctance burned in my heart, turning into endless anger.
