Chapter 23

The old man was also confused by Li forgetful. He couldn't believe it. He looked at a colorful rope stuffed into his hand by Li forgetful: "are these treasures inviolable by water and fire?"

Li Heng also looked stunned. He couldn't believe why his husband took out so many colorful ropes. As for the elders of the Li clan, they stood there and couldn't speak.

Li forgot to worry and laughed with a puff: "ha ha, what treasure? I just bought it from the salesman. It's a worthless gadget for a penny."

"What?" the old man shook his head. "Then why is the fire burning continuously?"

Li Qieyou pointed to the tofu shop by the road and said with a smile: "after these colorful ropes soaked in the salt brine used for tofu in the tofu shop, they won't be afraid of fire for a while. If the old man wants to be interested, he can find a rope to try."

"This..." both the old man and Li Heng were silly. The magical artifact before was an ordinary rope soaked in salt and brine?

The old man suddenly turned his eyes to the multicolored rope that was still tightly clenched by the leader of Li's family: "is that the master of the right way..."

"Hey, hey, the monk's tricks are good." Li forgot to worry, looking at the colorful rope in the old patriarch's hand, smiled very happily.

"Trick? Is the righteous master fake?"

"I don't know if he is a fake monk, but his Tathagata palm is really just a trick."

Listening to Li's explanation, the elders of Li's clan were greatly stimulated. Angry and ashamed, an old man fainted directly because he vomited blood.

After flustered and asked the maid to send the fainting clan old man to the doctor, a group of clan old men directly surrounded Li forgetful.

"You!" the old patriarch of Li clan trembled his fingers to Li forgetful and gasped: "since you know that the monk is false, why don't you expose him?"

"Why should I expose him?" Li Qieyou asked strangely, "do I know you very well?"

"OK, what a cruel Li Xiaolang! I'll go to the county government to sue you! The monk must be in collusion with you to deceive my li clan!"

"It's killing me. Just now almost all the people in Huxian County saw it. Why should I join the monk?"

"You... You just cheated hundreds of acres of land with that broken rope! Dare you deny it?"

Li forgot to worry and didn't argue. He shook the contract directly at them.

"When did I deceive you? You forced me to exchange with you. It's clearly written in black and white. Don't talk about it."

Li's words made the heads and elders of Li's clan lag. When you think about it carefully, Li's words really didn't say what his colorful rope was, let alone what it was useful. They just misled them with words.

"What a quick talker! I won't argue with you. Go to the county government and make it clear. Let Yang Ming's house be the master!"

Knowing that he had been deceived, the monk who claimed to be the right way could not find any trace. A group of ethnic elders held Li forgetful and insisted on going to the county government together.

Li forgot to worry, naturally, he was not afraid or rebellious. As they walked to the county government. Fearing that his husband would be bullied, Li Heng naturally trotted all the way and soon left only the old man and his old servant.

"Master, are you still going to the county government?"

"Hehe, of course I'm going. Xiao Lang is interesting, but I can't let those old bastards bully me. Yu Da, drive the ox cart here and let's go to the county government."

"Yes."

In Huxian county yamen, Yang Zuan is enjoying the poem written by Li forget you in his public house. But when the Yamen came to report, the Li clan in Huxian county took Li Xiaolang to complain, saying that Li forgets worry and colludes with others to defraud Li's money.

Yang Zuan was surprised when he heard the speech. He only came back from the Li family in the morning. Why did this happen soon after noon?

Ask the Yamen to invite the county lieutenant, and Yang Zuo will be promoted to the court immediately.

Datang county system, officials are composed of county magistrate, county magistrate, master bookkeeper and county lieutenant. The so-called "one order and three assistants" means that the county magistrate is the main, and the county magistrate, the chief clerk and the county Lieutenant are the assistants.

Needless to say, the county magistrate is equivalent to the county magistrate of later generations, but he has greater power.

The county magistrate is the deputy of the county magistrate, which is equivalent to the post of deputy county magistrate. The main thin is roughly equivalent to the Secretary General of the modern county office.

The county lieutenant is responsible for governing the Cao officials and chasing down thieves, which is equivalent to the director of the County Public Security Bureau in later generations.

Since Li's clan accused li of forgetting worry fraud, it naturally needs the county captain to participate in the case.

Above the lobby, the Yamen stood on both sides, and Yang Zuan and the county captain were seated in the hall.

Li QIAOYOU and a cadre of Li's clan stood in the hall and saw the promotion of the county magistrate. Li QIAOYOU respectfully bowed to Yang Zuo and the county captain.

"I've seen Yang Mingfu and Fang Xianwei."

"Excuse me, Li Xiaolang, why do you go to court with the elders of the Li clan?" Yang Zuo asked.

Before Li forgot to worry, the elders of Li's clan complained.

"Yang Ming's house, this Li Xiaolang has a grudge because of the reform of the genealogy. He collaborated with others to deceive the clan and swindle us of 200 liang of gold and 100 mu of good land! Please make a clear decision of Yang Ming's house and give justice to my li clan!"

"Yes, this little bastard deceived us with a broken rope. It's really hateful. Please ask Yang Ming's house to decide!"

"It's a great crime to do such a careless thing in broad daylight!"

Yang Zuan was even more confused. He looked at Fang Chun, the county Wei who was listening to the hearing, but was afraid of shock: "silence, what's going on? Tell me in detail."

This calmed the crying clan elders. The old clan leader will tell them how to be cheated by the monk today and how to be cheated by Li forget worry to obtain 100 mu of good land.

Finally, the multicolored rope was presented as evidence, and Li forget worry also presented the written evidence written to him by Li's clan.

Yang Zui shook his head when he heard that there was such a ridiculous thing. Rao Shi has been an official for many years. He can't figure out how the monk did all this. He pays for it. If he is present, I'm afraid he will also be cheated.

"Li Xiaolang, do you know the monk?"

"I don't know." Li forgot to worry and said calmly.

"Nonsense! If you don't know the monk, how can you know the secret of burning colorful ropes?"

"Yang Ming's residence must not listen to this boy's nonsense. If he doesn't know the monk, how can he know that the monk is cheating?"

"Is it false that you cheated hundreds of acres of good land?" Li forgets his worries, which makes the elders of all the ethnic groups clamor again.

"Silence! Silence!" Yang Zuan snapped the startling wood angrily: "the county should not make a noise when asking questions!"

It was not easy to shut up the elders again. Yang zuocai continued to ask, "Li Xiaolang, since you don't know the monk, why do you know he is a liar?"

"Report back to Yang Ming's house. I've seen the method used by the monk in the book. It's just to deceive the ignorant. However, the monk may not be a liar. I think he may be a Xia!"

Li's reply made the elders of Li's clan make a lot of noise again, and Yang Zuo made them shut up after shooting the startling wood to pieces.

"If there's any more noise, get out of the county government!" Yang Zuan angrily said, and then continued to say to Li forgetful, "Li Xiaolang, tell me in detail."
