Rule the Ming Dynasty Alone

After hearing Wang Yue's words, everyone in the hall looked at the imperial envoy with confusion, wondering how Hu Daniu's ten cents ended up in Wang Yue's hands.

In the eyes of everyone's doubts, Wang Yue took out a paperweight like a copper tiger button and said bitterly: I have always loved to compose poems! That day, Hu Daniu asked me why I didn't write poems. The old man joked that the wind was so strong today that there was no one left at home. The paperweight is usable, but the new work may fall into the wrong hands. Unexpectedly, Hu Daniu actually took this matter seriously, so he bought me this paperweight for ten cents!

It was obvious that he had no favors towards Hu Daniu, and Hu Daniu's family was poor. As a result, Hu Daniu finally came to Jingshan County and even wanted to buy him a paperweight.

Sir, Mr. Tai, I have already asked the shopkeeper of Jingshan City's library shop. He has proved the matter and is now waiting for summons in the hall! Wang Yu also sighed secretly in his heart and saluted Yang Jizong.

Yang Jizong looked at this handsome and well-spoken prince, then nodded gently and said: Send the boss of the study shop to come to the court!

The villain is Jiang Cheng, the shopkeeper of Jingshan Literature Store. I have just gone over to identify the body. That man did come to the shop to buy a paperweight! Shopkeeper Jiang came to the hall and immediately explained the whole story.

Liu Jiamo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed out the flaw as if he had grasped a life-saving straw: Sir, if he lied, he must have been ordered to give perjury! How could this kind of paperweight be worth ten cents in Jingshan? At most, it can only be sold for five cents, no, you can buy it for three cents!

Huh?

When the people in the hall heard the flaw pointed out by Liu Jiamo, they couldn't help but look at Wang Yue in the hall, and they couldn't help but suspect that Wang Yue was behind the scenes.

Liu Zhixian and the two shopkeepers were extremely nervous just now, but now they were secretly relieved.

The villain is ashamed. I think Hu Daniu is an honest man, and he came to our Jingshan area from a foreign country, so... he directly offered ten cents, and... it turned out that he may have thought that scholar's things are so expensive, so he didn't return the price. Just pay the price! The shopkeeper revealed the truth with a guilty look on his face.

The world is bullying honest people!

Everyone knows the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt, but how many of us people know how much a paperweight is worth?

Who is committing perjury? We the people can see this clearly. Someone in Jingshan is already covering the sky with one hand!

…

When the people in the hall learned the whole story, they immediately felt empathy and complained about Hu Daniu one after another. At the same time, someone made insinuations to Li Guangming, who was listening in the hall.

Li Guangming's hearing was good, and when he heard that the people in the hall seemed to be pointing the finger at him, his whole face was really sinking, but he planned to turn around and punish these troublesome people severely.

Yang Jizong's eyes fell on Li Guangming with complicated eyes. He thought that this old man in the officialdom would handle the relationship with Wang Yue well, but he didn't want to offend him to death.

It's just that he doesn't have a deep friendship with Li Guangming. In fact, even if he has a deep friendship with Li Guangming, it is impossible to favor such a person who confuses right and wrong.

Yang Jizong coughed lightly and said to Li Guangming: Master Li, according to the shopkeeper of the study shop, Hu Daniu spent ten cents to buy a paperweight. Do you still have any doubts about this?

Master Tai, I also want to make things clear. Now that I know the whereabouts of the ten cents, Hu Daniu naturally doesn't have enough money to buy a pound of salt! Li Guangming seemed to be a different person. He bowed his hands to Yang Jizong with a pleasant look.

Sir, Mr. Tai, I agree with Liu Jiamo's guess just now. Someone here was instigated to give perjury, but the perjurer was not the shopkeeper of the study shop, but the shopkeeper of the salt shop and the teahouse. As a foreigner, Hu Daniu bought a paperweight. They were all being bullied, so how could they not go to the salt store to buy salt as planned, but instead rob a scholar of salt in a teahouse in full view of everyone? Wang Yu knew that Li Guangming was the mastermind behind the incident, and Bento was about to point the finger. The two shopkeepers said.

Yang Jizong looked at the shopkeeper thoughtfully, and turned over the file in his hand again. He found that the testimonies of the two shopkeepers were indeed questionable, but they seemed to cleverly refrain from saying anything.

Sir, Mr. Hu Daniu, maybe Hu Daniu really lost his salt. He happened to see the salt in the student's hand, so he came up to snatch the student's salt. This case may also have arisen from a misunderstanding! Liu Jiamo rolled his eyes and immediately threw it out. New rhetoric said.

Liu Jiamo, I remember that you said that Hu Daniu was following you, and you hurriedly left the teahouse because you suspected that Hu Daniu wanted to steal your salt! Wang Yu frowned slightly, and said seriously.

Yang Jizong was flipping through the files, and nodded gently: That's right! According to your testimony, you suspected that Hu Daniu wanted to steal salt, so you actually think that Hu Daniu is a villain!

Master Tai, the student may be nervous. Hu Daniu is physically stronger than the student, so the student must take precautions! The sage has a saying: A gentleman will not stand under a dangerous wall! Liu Jiamo explained.

Wang Yu found that this Liu Jiamo was also a difficult person to deal with, so he asked Yang Jizong for an inspection: Sir, the current flaw lies in this bag of salt! If it is true as Liu Jiamo said, this bag of salt is from his salt industry. If you buy it with silver, you should not be short of money. If it is bought by Hu Daniu, then it will naturally be maliciously deducted by the salt store. This bag of salt is not worth it!

The people in the hall found that things had taken a big circle and returned to this bag of salt.

Come here, this salt is about to be inspected! Yang Jizong realized that this was indeed the biggest flaw in the case, and immediately issued the order in a deep voice.

An old official immediately stepped forward, reached out and took the bag of salt from Wang Yu, and then picked up the scale in question in front of everyone and said: The old official uses this scale to weigh salt. If it weighs enough, it can be proved. This scale was used to weigh the salt that day. It was indeed Hu Daniu who went to buy salt that day. If it is not enough, then...

Old guy, what nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and weigh the salt! Several impatient men in the hall urged him to express their dissatisfaction when they heard the old official nagging.

Yang Jizong knew that scholars all have this bad habit of being literate, so he ordered in a deep voice: Weigh!

The old official hurriedly bowed to Yang Jizong, but he did not dare to delay any longer. He immediately put the bag of salt on the scale facing Yang Jizong's direction and began to weigh the salt carefully.

Although the old official's hands were trembling, he very steadily pushed the rope of the weighing weight above the one-pound star.

The dark clouds that had just dissipated returned again, causing the entire county government to be shrouded in dark clouds.

Has it come out? Has the result come out?

What's going on with that scale? It's so scary!

No need to ask, that question must be 'full of weight'!

…

The people in the hall were like ants in a hot pit when facing the old official who had his back turned to them. Everyone looked anxious and wanted to know the result of the test in the hall. However, some people remained very confident.

However, everyone in the hall had different reactions. Wang Yu stared in disbelief at this moment.

Under the eyes, after the old official pushed the rope to one pound and released it, the scale beam tilted upward, proving that the bag of salt was not sold by the faulty scale.

Sir, the student is wronged! The student did go to the salt store to buy salt that day. As for the twists and turns, the student is really unaware of the twists and turns. The student is also the victim! When Liu Jiamo saw the result of the weighing, he immediately cried out with tears. road.

When Yang Jizong saw the test results, which proved that the packet of salt had not been withheld, he turned to look at Wang Yue helplessly.

Wang Yue frowned. Although he was very sure that Liu Jiamo was confusing right and wrong, and Li Guangming behind him was constantly making dirty tricks, he still didn't know what the problem was.

After all, this does not 100% conclude that Liu Jiamo did not buy salt that day. There is also a certain probability that Hu Daniu arrested the wrong person.

Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, the case has now been revealed! Even if you have a relationship with Hu Daniu, you cannot wrongly accuse my students. Let this case be dropped! Li Guangming saw that the results had come out and looked at Wang Yue opposite him and suggested.

Lu Song, who was standing behind Wang Yue, saw that the case seemed to be closed, so he continued and said: When I came down from the humble post, your Majesty personally told me not to look down on the local people, but to pay attention to the surrounding things. Pluck the grass to look at the wind! At that time, I didn’t know what the holy will was, but when I see it today, Your Majesty really has a bright light even though the hole is dark and the candle is far away!”

What do you mean by this? Li Guangming frowned slightly and looked warily at the hundreds of Jin Yiwei who came down from the capital.

Wang Yue and others looked at the Jin Yiwei Baihu in confusion. They were also unclear about his intention in saying these words, let alone why His Majesty was involved?
