Chapter 1282

Liu Wei's idea of finding the murderer is not so absolute.

Li Kuan, the eldest son of Li Daguan's family, is one wife and two concubines. There are three people in the outer room who know about it and six who don't.

Liu Wei's suspicion of Li Kuan is based on facts.

After investigation, the cottage and canoe beside the mountain and river confirmed that they belonged to Li Kuan's personal property. In fact, the whole mountain forest belonged to Li Kuan.

The Huaishan mountain in the West belongs to the court. No one who is close to it can occupy the land. The mountain people living near Huaishan can cut firewood and hunt on the mountain. That's allowed by the seal of the county government. This is the law for the benefit of the people.

Before the county magistrate of Song Dynasty took over the county magistrate of Xijin, the mountain people were not allowed to possess the goods and materials on the mountain. It was just because of this that Xijin county was able to starve dozens of people to death during the more poor and rainy years.

After the county magistrate of Song Dynasty took over, he gave the mountain to the villages. Each village can occupy a part of it, and the materials on the mountain can also be used by the mountain people.

However, Huaishan mountain is too big to surround the whole county. There are the most villages in the South and east of the county, the least in the west, and the transportation hub in the north. Apart from the mountains distributed to different villages in the west, there is still a large mountain area left. How can the stingy Song county magistrate waste these resources?

So the county magistrate of the Song Dynasty decided to rent out the mountain area. No matter whether it's a tree Feller, a hunter or a fruit tree grower, if you want, you should pay the rent to Yamen. Within how many years, the mountain is private to you.

Her daughter does not inherit property. Li daguanren and his wife have only one son, that is, Li Kuan.

Since there is only one son, there is no need to divide the house, so even when it's the year of establishment, it's time to split up and live alone. Li Kuan still lives with his parents.

But years ago, it happened that Li found a bastard.

The mother of the illegitimate son was a brothel woman raised by Li Daguan when he went out to talk business with others.

Li daguanren can't see the woman in the brothel, and he didn't want to take the woman of that identity home as a concubine. The woman is also smart, takes the money and disappears without trace.

However, years ago, it was also a coincidence that Li daguanren went to the Fucheng to talk about business again. On the way, they met the outside room that had been married as a wife. The two had a good time getting together and dispersing. They didn't plan to communicate, so Li daguanren overheard them. An 18-9-year-old boy called the woman "Niang".

Calculate the age, make an investigation, and then calculate the month. Li Daguan knows that the outer room was pregnant with his children and separated from him.

Li Daguan is very popular. His wife only gave him a son. My concubine is not angry. She gave birth to three daughters. Unexpectedly, there is a parent-child in other places.

Mr. Li doesn't care about anything at once. He has to take the child away. He is not a child of several years old. He can't live without his mother. I heard that his father is a rich businessman in Linxian County. He has a brighter future when he goes back, so he agreed to go home with his father.

In this way, the illegitimate son came to Xijin county.

Different from Li Kuan, who is arrogant and playful, this illegitimate son grew up poor and has some vision. When he first came here, he got along with Li Daguan's temper. After ten days, he even questioned and objected to his entrance. Even Li Kuan's mother, who even threatened to die, got along with his temper.

The melon eaters all admired his means.

After Li Kuan made the new brother pit several holes, he became angry with him. No matter in charge of business or in daily life, he made a lot of trouble with him.

Two months later, Li daguanren talked about a business in the capital. Li Kuan and his illegitimate son wanted to win over the good business of opening a branch of the shipping bank in the capital, but Li daguanren intended to give it to his youngest son.

Knowing that he had nothing to do with the branch, Li Kuan lost his temper.

The world is waiting for him to get angry. When he comes to fight with his new brother, Li Kuan is silent. After a few days of silence, he rents mountains with Yamen in his own name.

What's wrong with this? Are you going to abandon business and start farming?

When the landlord went instead of going on a boat trip?

No one knows what Li Kuan is thinking. In a word, from that day on, he has been quiet and low-key, and he has seldom returned home.

Then, Liu Wei found the signature identity of the mountain in the lease document of Yamen easily, almost without any effort.

Li Kuan is exactly the suspect of Liu Wei.

The county magistrate of Song Dynasty was stunned to hear that Liu Wei had finished what she found on the mountain. Then, while stunned, he immediately countered: "the mountain is his, and the murderer is him? Is that too careless? You also said that the joint of the underground river and the location of the reservoir are all in that area. Maybe the murderer is the one who secretly touched the corpse that was transported in the past. Why is it someone else's son Li? "

Song county magistrate is an economic official. If he offends the sun family, he will lose his hair for the whole night. This time, he offends another rich gentry, Li. Who can he find to support the economy and people's livelihood of the whole county?

Liu Wei doesn't care about money or not. She just solves the case and doesn't care about anything else."It's written in your yamen's lease that Li Kuan's lease area is exactly 40 mu, from the reservoir mouth to the top of the mountain, all the way, isn't it?"

Song county magistrate nodded: "so what?"

Liu Wei said: "do you know that coming out of the reservoir is an underground river that can't be filled. The two width of the underground river accounts for 12 mu. The left side of the river is a cliff. The right side of the river is a short way up the mountain. The rocks are craggy and the mountain is difficult. There are waterfalls ahead. What do you think of leasing this kind of land?"

Song county magistrate paused for a while. When he rented the land, he only paid attention to how much it cost per mu, but didn't care where it was.

It's the master who is measuring the position.

In this way, he said "wait a minute" to Liu Wei, and then hurried out to find the master.

When he got the master, he said, "I was wondering when I was surveying the land. Why does Mr. Li have to ask for the land? I also specifically told him that when the river crossed the reservoir, it would enter the shaft, and the water could not be filled, the upstream waterfall could not be touched, and the water below could not flow. He also agreed. I still felt suspicious when I came back. Didn't I tell you that you didn't take it seriously? "

The county magistrate of Song Dynasty didn't remember it and asked, "did you tell me? How did I get back? "

The master said: "it's rare for a fool to ask for that kind of land. If he has a brain disease, he will let him get sick. Anyway, if the seal is sealed, you will not return the money."

The county magistrate of Song said awkwardly: "I Is that what I said? "

The master nodded his head seriously, and then said: "but the time of Mr. Li's renting the land is very strange. We rent the land for half a year at the minimum, and he only rents it for half a year."

This time, even if the county magistrate of song wanted to explain something to Li Kuan, he could not say it.

Rent a piece of land for nothing.

At least half a year, you really only rent half a year.

What can he do in half a year? It will take four seasons to plant trees and food. In that land, there are also wooden houses and boats under Li Kuan's name. All the evidence points to Li Kuan. Can he still say that Li Kuan is innocent?

Even if the murderer is not Li Kuan, Li Kuan's purpose of renting this piece must be impure.
