Chapter 239: Southern Tour (II)


After Li Lu had the bottom in his heart, he immediately returned to Quzhou Mansion, went directly to the mansion, and found Xue Xiruo and Li Maoping, he told the two people about his discovery, and that Li Maoping called it lucky, and said that if Xue Xiruo hadn't stopped him, he would have really created an unjust case this time.Li Lu, Xue Xiruo and Li Maoping came directly to the death row of Quzhou Mansion and found He Ming, although He Ming is a fire monk, but his eyesight is not bad, even the governor and the prefect have to deign to match the person, this person can only be the British king who came to the southern tour, after seeing Li Lu's face that is very similar to the portrait and sculpture, where does He Ming not know that Li Lu is coming?

As soon as He Ming saw Li Lu, he knelt down in the prison, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Xiaodao is wronged, Xiaodao is wronged.....

Xiaodao has not killed anyone....."

He Ming is also a believer in the Grassland Dao, and Li Lu's other identity is the Daozi of the Grassland Dao, so He Ming did not use the title of Poor Dao."

He Ming, Lone also believes that you have been wronged, and Lone knows that you have never had a grudge against others, and others framed you not to avenge you or to make profits!"

Li Lu said this, and looked at He Ming, "Have you ever revealed anything valuable in your home?"

”He Ming shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, Xiao Dao is a Fire Dwelling Daoist, how can there be any value in the family. ”Li Lu smiled, and then asked, "He Ming, think about it, is there anything strange in your house?"

”He Ming lowered his head and thought for a long time, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Your Majesty, about a month ago, I cleaned up my family's pond and dug out a few three-foot-high, strange-shaped stones from the silt, and I didn't take it seriously, and after cleaning up the silt, I threw them back into the pond......"

"What color are those stones??"

”Li Lu continued to ask."

Your Majesty, I have washed and seen these stones, they are all white and gray stones......"

He Ming thought for a while and said.Li Lu, Xue Xiruo and Li Maoping exchanged glances, the problem lies in this stone, it should be that this stone is very valuable, but He Ming has always only loved plantains, so he doesn't know each other.Because Li Lu personally led the trial of this case, Xue Xiruo and Li Maoping did not interject, and Li Lu also pretended not to understand, but just asked He Ming, "He Ming, do you know who else has seen the strange rock you dug up?"

”He Ming thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, the pond in my house is only surrounded by a low fence wall, and everyone outside can see it, how do I know who has seen it." ”Li Luyi frowned, and then asked, "He Ming, has anyone ever wanted to buy your pond mansion since that day?"

”He Ming thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, this small courtyard of Xiaodao is a place of cultivation carefully selected by Xiaodao, and someone has wanted to buy it a long time ago, but Xiaodao refused, and Xiaodao stated that he would never sell it, which is well known. ”Li Lu nodded silently, and then told He Ming, "He Ming, you must not say anything to anyone tonight, especially during the trial, Gu naturally has a way to wash away your grievances, and will also relieve you of capital crimes....."

He Ming hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.After leaving the prison, Li Lu had already determined in his heart that the poisoner was Hu San, but Hu San did not have the financial resources to buy a house to dig stones, and there must be a master behind him but it was difficult to find out, so he had another plan in his heart, so he called Xue Xiruo and Li Maoping, and told them to do this and this, and let them do what they wanted.The next day, Xue Xiruo tried the case of Basho murder in the hall of the government office, the hall was crowded with people, Xue Xiruo interrogated Hu San and He Ming in the court, and then sent someone to fetch the water in the pond of He Ming's house, and found chickens and ducks to feed, and the chickens and ducks were convulsed and vomited black blood and died.He also asked people to fetch banana leaves to feed the chickens and ducks, and they died of the same symptoms, and the coroner said that these were all signs of arsenic poisoning, so he determined that the pond water itself was poisonous.As a result, the plantain absorbs toxins and produces toxic stems and leaves.So Xue Xiruo pronounced the verdict that the pond water was poisonous, and Basho was also guilty.He Ming planted all the plantain trees cut down and burned, the pond was filled, He Ming mistakenly planted poisonous plantain and caused death, it was an unintentional homicide, and he was not investigated for criminal responsibility, and he was released on the spot, but the civil liability could not be uncompensated, and he was sentenced to compensate Hu 3200 taels of silver.Xue Xiruo hastily closed the case, He Ming thought of his life and didn't dare to speak anymore, but Hu San didn't complain again, but the people in the hall talked about it, some people said that He Ming had planted plantain for many years, and every time the fruit was ripe, he picked it and gave it to people to eat, and the banana leaves were also sent to people to feed pigs, but there was never any animal poisoning.Others say that if the pond water could produce arsenic, the plantain would have died long ago, and someone must have poisoned the water in which the medicine was boiled.But Xue Xiruo pretended not to hear it, so he ordered to retreat, and besides, He Ming was released, although he felt that he was still a little wronged, Xue Xiruo's judgment was a little confused, but he thought that he could get his life, and he felt lucky, and at the same time he was also comforting himself, "He Ming, He Ming, if you hadn't met the king,."

This head has already moved....."

But when he came home and saw that the plantains had been cut down and the pond had been filled, he felt very uncomfortable.I thought that I had to compensate Hu San and two hundred taels of silver, and I had been self-sufficient and had no savings, so I had to post an announcement to auction the house to raise money.The auction venue was set at the door of my house, and many people came that day, all wanting to see the excitement.The auction was not intense, He Ming's house was located in a remote location and there were only three bamboo houses, and there was a poisonous pond in front of the house, so after three rounds of bidding, no one increased the weight, and Liu Dacai, a big businessman in Quzhou Mansion, temporarily won the first place with two hundred and fifty taels.Liu Dacai looked around, looking determined to win.He Ming saw that the compensation was enough, so he wanted to make a deal.Suddenly, a merchant with a broken leaf accent asked for three hundred taels, and Liu Dacai immediately increased it to four hundred taels.The broken leaf merchant increased to five hundred taels, Liu Dacai did not hesitate to add six hundred taels, so the two families frequently increased the price, and finally Liu Dacai increased to one thousand taels, and the merchant no longer increased the price, Liu Dacai finally got He Ming's house.Everyone was stunned, and there were many discussions, all saying that one thousand taels could buy a big mansion even if they got Quzhou Mansion, did Liu Dacai lose his mind and spend one thousand taels of silver to buy such a broken house?

The next day, Liu Dacai found a craftsman and said that he would demolish the old house and build a new one, but he didn't even tear down the three bamboo houses, so he built a fence first, and even the original site of the pond was enclosed in it, and it was a two-zhang high brick wall.That night, a faint light was spotted in the wall, and the sound of shovels and pickaxes was heard digging inside, and a dozen or so carts were pushed forward early the next morning, and it was not until dusk that the wet soil came out.However, the earthen cart did not push to the wasteland, but turned to the official road, and as soon as he got on the official road, he was stopped by the government office's catcher, and the leader was the broken leaf merchant, who claimed to be the big leader of the Jinyi Guard.He took a knife and drove the floating soil to reveal the strange stones buried underneath, and then inspected that there was a strange stone in the soil of each car, each of which was three feet, and you must know that if this strange stone was transported to Broken Leaf or Chang'an, it would be worth more than just a thousand taels of silver, but tens of thousands of taels of silver.The person who took the lead was Li Lu's big spy leader, Li Songyi, who hurriedly reported the discovery to Li Lu, and Li Lu immediately ordered Liu Dacai and Hu San to be arrested, and the next day he came to the lobby of Quzhou Mansion to retry the case.He Ming was still a little puzzled, didn't he say that the case was closed, how could the case be retried?

When he came to the lobby suspiciously, he was surprised to find that the person sitting on the throne was Li Lu, who was wearing a royal robe and a crown, and there was also a person he didn't expect to appear in the lobby, this person was Liu Dacai, who bought his courtyard.The people of Quzhou Mansion, whether they are Han people or Tianzhu people, as soon as they saw that it was Li Lu, Hulala knelt down for Li Lu, there was no way, the concept of monarch supremacy in this era was too deep, so deep that Li Lu, a traveler, couldn't reverse it.After the trial, Li Lu saw that the people were a little puzzled, the case was not over, he only revealed the mystery, it turned out that through internal investigation and external investigation, Li Lu concluded that someone was eyeing the strange stones in He Ming's pond, but He Ming said first, he would never sell the courtyard, and the murderer bribed Hu San to poison his wife and children to blame He Ming, so as to take the opportunity to buy his house.So Li Lu planned and let the coroner cheat from it, so that people felt that the pool water was poisonous, and then he asked Xue Xiruo to pretend to be confused and let He Ming go, and made a shooting *** The murderer behind the scenes had to participate in the auction, so that he could be exposed, and this murderer was Liu Dacai who won the auction!

Liu Dacai has a courtyard in Qilitang, when he was in the summer, he accidentally happened to see the strange stones dug out when He Ming cleaned the pond, and he always wanted to keep it for himself, but He Ming said that he would never sell the house first, so Liu Dacai spent five hundred taels of silver to buy Hu San to poison his wife and children, and finally obtained He Ming's house through auction, and immediately covered the wall to cover people's eyes and ears, dug out strange stones overnight, and loaded them into earth-wheeled carts to prepare to transfer them to broken leaves and even Chang'an for huge profits.Liu Dacai thought that what he did was foolproof, and no one found out, but he didn't expect that all his actions were under Li Lu's surveillance.After interrogation, Liu Dacai and Hu San both pleaded guilty, and Li Lu pronounced the verdict in court: Liu Dacai was greedy for money and hired murderers to blame others, Hu San was greedy for money and killed his wife and children to frame He Ming, both of them were sentenced to death, and Hu San's unjustly killed wife and children were buried by the Liu family.Later, Li Lu apologized to He Ming and destroyed his beloved plantain in order to solve the case, but obtained ten strange stones, each of which was three feet long, and returned it to him along with the house that was auctioned.Since ancient times, kings have rarely apologized to the people, but Li Lu is not in this ranks, he is a master of showmanship, and his apology quickly harvested the hearts of the people, and the people supported him even more.And He Ming accepted the strange stones, sold them all, and the money in exchange helped the township, while he continued to be his own Huoju Taoist.Li Lu may not have expected that hundreds of years later, one of his descendants would even put this story on the screen and dominate the ratings for a long time.
