It is impossible to punish adults

Chapter 1 The Flood Beast Musi Li

In the late spring, the weather is sunny and warm, and Taiping County is bustling and prosperous. There are many restaurants and teahouses on both sides of the market. The hawkers who set up stalls on the roadside are also shouting and selling. The hairpin and the silk flower crown have attracted many women to stop and choose.

All of a sudden, there was a little confusion mixed in this group of lively. I don't know who shouted "Musei is here". The market was like a spoonful of water was poured into a boiling oil pan, and it exploded in an instant. the pot.

Many little ladies who were choosing their favorite accessories and gouache were pulled aside by the accompanying maids to put on their hats. The street vendors even dragged their daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law to the back of the stall. Hide underneath.

Seeing this momentum, it was like a fierce tiger crossing the street, but the street market that had become deserted in an instant was a young man.

The visitor's name is Mu Liuyun, and his appearance is very good. Although he is not tall or burly among men, he is better than his shoulders and narrow waist. It's a little thinner, but it doesn't lose its graceful demeanor.

The Mu family is a well-to-do wealthy family in Taiping County. It is said that with such appearance and family background, they are already too weak, and they should be a popular Ruyi Langjun, but this Taiping County family who is about to marry a daughter avoids him. The fear is not enough.

It is widely rumored in the outside world that this person is extremely lecherous, searches for beauties everywhere, raises a yard full of them, and holds the post of military officer in the state government yamen. He likes to deal with dead bones the most on weekdays. Some people have nose and eyes. Mu Liuyun even had the skull of a dead person placed beside the pillow in the room, just thinking about it was creepy enough.

In the back hall of the county government office, a middle-aged fat man in a green official uniform was pacing back and forth, with a thin layer of sweat hanging on his forehead. After walking a few steps, he looked out the door until he saw Mu Liuyun holding up his robe and stepping over. At the threshold, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his short legs jumped upside down to greet him.

"Brother Mu! You're here!" He greeted him and grabbed Mu Liuyun's sleeve. "Today's case, you have to help make up your mind! I'm so overwhelmed right now, I can't do anything!"

This green-clothed fat man is the magistrate Kong of Taiping County. He is old enough to be Mu Liuyun's father, but because he is often tossed with Mu Liuyun because of unsettled affairs, he is embarrassed to pay attention to so many years. , not to mention shaking the official prestige in front of him, and have to have the cheek to call brothers and brothers.

At present, Kong County magistrate is the most important thing is that two people from the yamen are fighting for a pair of mutton fat jade bottles, each insisting on their own words and not giving in to each other.

Song San is a poor and down-to-earth boy. He only wants to take the exam for fame, but he fails the exam repeatedly, and his family is almost at a loss.

He claimed that the suet jade bottle was the treasure passed down by the ancestors for five generations, and the only valuable item in the family. When his former friend Wang Er came to the house, he asked Wang Er, who is a jade businessman, to take the treasure to help estimate the price, but Wang Er had If you become greedy, the baby will not be returned if you take it away.

Wang Er's rhetoric was not like that.

Wang Er said that he had obtained a piece of fine jade from the barbarians, and asked a craftsman to carve the pair of mutton fat jade bottles and put them in his store as a treasure. I bought the suet jade bottle to manage my future. I couldn't save my face before I agreed to cut my love. Who would have thought that Song San would have no more text after taking the treasure bottle away. Not only did he not give the money, but he insisted that the treasure bottle belonged to him.

The two of them insisted on their own words, and they could not argue. Regarding the style and pattern of the pair of jade bottles, even the small damage, they were all open-minded and straightforward. The magistrate Kong asked for a long time, but both of them insisted on their own statement. , One was filled with righteous indignation, and in the end the magistrate Kong had no idea, so he had to order someone to invite Mu Liuyun over.

"Is the suet jade bottle in the hands of Master Kong?" Mu Liuyun asked after hearing this.

"Yes, I'll ask someone to show it to my virtuous brother!" The magistrate Kong hurriedly motioned to the officer beside him.

The officer was also quick in his movements, and he quickly took the pair of suet jade bottles and handed them over to Mu Liuyun.

The pair of suet jade vase is the size of a palm, and it is very exquisite. The transparent vase is actually carved with several peonies. The petals are full and stacked, which means the flowers are rich and rich.

The box used to hold the jade bottle is carved from high-quality mahogany. It has been incense. The body of the box is fragrant and pleasant. Corner, lined with fine silk satin.

Such a pair of vases, matched with such a beautiful wooden box, is like a good horse with a good saddle.

Mu Liuyun took the jade bottle out of the box, played with it a few times, and already had an idea in his heart: "Master Kong thinks that Wang Er is the owner of the mutton fat jade bottle?"

"Exactly! Brother Mu Xian didn't know, that Song San's family was so poor that they couldn't get a decent set of furniture, the eldest was not too young, and he didn't even get admitted as a scholar. People are willing to promise him their daughter, just such a poor house, if he has such a treasure before, will he beg for a golden rice bowl?
Wang Er was different. He was in the jade business, and it was not unusual to receive such a pair of treasures in the shop. "

"Since that's the case, it's fine for Master Kong to directly sentence him, so why call me here?" Mu Liuyun stared at the magistrate Kong, his eyes narrowed.

Magistrate Kong wiped his forehead with a sweaty towel: "You don't know anything about this, then Song San doesn't look at poverty, he has a very strong temper! If I don't uphold justice and cause him to be robbed of his family heirloom, he will be If you want to hit your head on the pillar at the entrance of my yamen, you tell me... Foolish brother is also embarrassed! If such a thing happens, it will be difficult for me to do it after it spreads out..."

"I understand what Master Kong said. Leave this to me, and I will break it down for you today." Mu Liuyun didn't want to delay any longer after hearing that Divided into the style of a dog-headed military division.

Magistrate Kong breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly brought Mu Liuyun to the front of the hall.

Kong County magistrate's previous description was also vivid. The two people in front of the hall could clearly recognize them just by looking at their clothes. Song San was the one on the left with patches all over his body and a yellow face and thin muscles.

After entering the hall, Master Kong instantly changed his face, straightened his rich and round face and looked a little more like an official. Twisted his sparse mustache.

"Song San, Wang Er, the two of you are fighting over the mutton fat jade bottle. Today, this official specially invited Mr. Mu, the secretary to join the army, from the prefecture's yamen. Mr. Mu has always resolved cases like a god, no matter how difficult the unsolved case is. If you don't live with him, let him try your case, and he will definitely be able to do justice for you!" He said to Song and Wang who were kneeling below.

Mu Liuyun stood beside Master Kong's desk with one arm resting on the desk, and looked at the two people: "You all say that you are the owner of the mutton fat jade bottle, is there any evidence for this?"

Song San shook his head with a bitter face: "There is no proof, that mutton fat jade bottle is my ancestral treasure, I usually hide it at home carefully, how dare people see it easily, if it makes people malicious , isn't that causing trouble! The ancients said, slow hiding and instigating thieves, cursing and prostituting..."

"Stop! You don't want Yun!" Mu Liuyun hurriedly stopped him and rubbed his forehead, "Don't you just want to say that if you don't keep the valuables, it's like asking a thief to come to your house to steal it! Speak well and listen. I have a headache!"

After speaking, he pointed to Wang Er again: "You say it!"

Wang Er knelt up straight, didn't panic when he saw Mu Liuyun, and said loudly: "If you talk about the adults, there is no evidence for the villain. The suet jade bottle is extremely precious, and it is the treasure of my shop. It's not worth it. Of course, Fei's baby can't be placed in a bright place for others to watch.

Adults don't like to listen to sour scholars, and villains don't say those things. Villains just feel that the old saying is right, not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves! "

As he spoke, he glanced at Song San with disgust, and snorted.

Song San was provoked by him, and scolded angrily: "Who are you calling a thief? You are the thief, the thief who stole my heirloom!"

"Oh? That's interesting!" Mu Liuyun quickly put away the folding fan, and walked slowly in front of the two of them with his hands behind him, looking at them as he walked, "Both of you said that you have noses and eyes, since that's the case, this baby is being If you hide it well, how could you be deceived?"

"My lord, please enlighten me! I have known Wang Er since childhood, and he is considered an old friend. He is also a jade businessman. I thought that he would not deceive me, so I asked him to come to my house to help me, and take a look at my ancestral heritage. What is the quality and value of the treasure, who knows that he has a black heart and has such greed!" Song San said with grief and anger.

"Oh? What about you? What do you say?" Mu Liuyun turned to Wang Er.

"Returning to the adults, the villain has also known Song San for many years. Seeing that he has failed the exams many times, the family life is about to go on. If he wants to manage his future, marry a wife and have children, he wants to do a good deed and help him. Bundle.

Who knows that others are poor but have high vision, and other jade articles are not acceptable. If they insisted on the mutton fat jade bottle, I reluctantly gave up my love, and even considered his family's poverty.

Who would have thought that he would be so despicable, he wrote down the mark of my treasure bottle, and he didn't give me any money, and even took a bite, saying that the treasure bottle was his family, and I was forced to take it away. When I came back, I didn't expect that he was still cheating to the end and brought me to court. "

"You say it's yours, and you say it's yours. It's hard to do if you want a personal certificate and don't have a personal certificate!" Mu Liuyun shook his head and sighed, pacing back and forth between the two, and then suddenly Stopping, the fan handle slammed into the palm of his hand, and he had an idea, "Why don't you take a step back, a pair of jade bottles, one for each of you, wouldn't everyone be happy?"

As soon as he said these words, let alone Song San and Wang Er, even the yacha standing on both sides could not help but look at each other in dismay.

Isn't this Mu Si Li known for his good judgment on prison sentences?It's not like there are people who say that although he can't live the dead or the flesh and bones, he can make the dead and the bones speak and confess the real murderer, but today's breaking method makes people really a little puzzled.

Magistrate Kong sat in the hall, listening to Mu Liuyun's words, his chubby body trembled slightly, and forcibly resisted the thought of going to get the sweat towel.

Everyone else was so surprised, and Song San and Wang Er were naturally even more surprised.

"Look! A pair of jade bottles belong to one person, and you all say that it is yours. If you don't want to, one person and half is the most fair. You still don't want to, isn't it difficult for me!

The ancients said that every husband is innocent and guilty, and you both said that you have been friends with each other for many years. Today, you are dealing with the court for a pair of jade bottles, calling each other a thief!Since Master Kong can trust me, then I will be the master. In my opinion, this jade bottle is the bane of all these things. It is better to destroy it. "

Mu Liuyun gave a wink to the entourage, Xiao Wu'er, who was waiting by the side: "Here, let me go to the back hall and smash that cursed suet jade bottle for me!"
