Datang: Changle, I really don’t have any private money for my husband

Chapter 111
Looking at the two people with flawless faces, Liu Sheng was silent for a while, and finally said, "Since it is impossible to prove whether this bundle of white cloth belongs to the sixth child or the third pockmarked child, then..."

He paused when he said this, and looked at the crowd around him. From their eyes, he could see the desire to know the outcome of the case.

Facing the eyes of the two parties, Liu Sheng glanced at the bundle of white cloth on the ground:
"Since that's the case, then this bundle of white cloth should be half for each person!"

The expressions of the two people are different, but neither of them can tell who is convinced by this assignment.

Judging from the appearance of the two of them, they both seemed to be dissatisfied with Liu Sheng's solution.

Not only the two parties involved, but even the people around them all looked at each other in blank dismay. They thought that Liu Sheng would come up with a very reliable solution.

Unexpectedly, Liu Sheng just used a method of playing [-] boards each, and everyone gave half. What kind of operation is this?
The county magistrate and the chief secretary also looked at Liu Sheng who was seated in the courtroom, with puzzled eyes.

Liu Sheng naturally did not hide it, but said:

"Since we are all neighbors, there is no need to quarrel over such a trivial matter. We are all civilized people, and we should sit down and have a good chat. It is a small matter, but the most important thing is the relationship between your neighbors. "

Liu Sheng said what he was most unwilling to say, but no one knew what Liu Sheng was thinking.

Including his subordinates, the county magistrate and the chief secretary, were even more confused.

Does that sound like something grown-ups would say?
Shouldn't your lord be the one with the blue sky above his head, in charge of the Tang Dynasty's official weapon, and angrily scold the concubine for being ashamed to work with you?
Why have you become so humble?

Liu Sheng's performance surprised all the subordinates of the county government.

It's like one day, the black boss who does all kinds of crimes tells you with a gentle smile, we are civilized people, and we want to contribute our own strength to this harmonious society, killing people is the most annoying thing.

The impact on them can be seen from this.

Looking at the smile on Liu Sheng's face, the two people in the courtroom didn't know what to do, and they didn't even know what expression to use to reply.

Said the case was over, but one of them lost half a bundle of white cloth.

But if there are still doubts about the case, County Magistrate Liu seems to be right. Neighbors really shouldn't be so tense because of such a trivial matter.

In fact, only one of them knows the answer, who is the liar, and even Liu Sheng does not know who is the criminal.

"I didn't expect the county magistrate to make such a judgment. This is really surprising!"

"Who would have thought, but this also means that the case has been solved? But we don't know the answer yet." Someone was still confused.

"I don't know, maybe in the eyes of adults, the answer is not important..."

The people who watched the excitement were not without doubts, but out of their trust in Liu Sheng, they could only accept this answer, which was not an answer.

Listening to the discussions of the people around, the two people in the courtroom looked confused, and one of them sneered in his heart: "It's too immature to make me feel guilty for delusion, and then stand up on your own."

Liu Sheng didn't know that he was being ridiculed secretly. He looked at the two and announced the end of the matter:

"Because the yamen still needs to record this bundle of white cloth, I can't give it to you for the time being. How about it, the two of you will come to the county yamen tomorrow, and I will personally distribute it to you two."

"Okay, let's go down now!"

In desperation, the two had no choice but to bow to Liu Sheng, and then left the court with their heads down.

Watching the two leave, Liu Sheng waved to the county government beside him, and when he approached, he gave some instructions in a low voice, and the government officials nodded repeatedly.

"Remember, we need to find some smart people." Before the other party left, Liu Sheng asked.

The yamen servant bowed again and again, and left quickly.

Watching this scene, people who knew Liu Sheng well showed subtle but meaningful smiles. It turns out that the story has just begun.

This is the magistrate Liu we are familiar with.

After the yamen servant left, Liu Sheng sat up straight, looked around, and suddenly asked:

"Everyone, dare I ask you how you view the law?"

He was not referring to the laws concerning matters of state, but to the rules dealing with such trivial matters.

The crowd continued to be confused, completely unaware of what Liu Sheng wanted to say, just like they couldn't spy on Liu Sheng's next move just now.

Liu Sheng didn't expect them to speak out, he asked himself and answered:
"In my opinion, the laws of our Chang'an County are not just for convicting criminals, but also for maintaining harmony in Chang'an County."

"Let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and maintain the safety of the law-abiding people. This is the foundation of the laws of the Tang Dynasty. This is the public bottom line for human conduct. Do you all know this?"

There was seriousness in his tone, and such trivial matters were only seen from their point of view.

On the other hand, for the parties concerned, this kind of thing is not a small matter, and it is related to their trust in the government.

If the people don't trust the government anymore, then the people won't have awe of the law, after all, the law is made by the government.

"I just don't want to cause trouble." Liu Sheng answered their doubts, "If the prisoner reforms, naturally there is no need for the law, as long as they solve it in private."

"But if he doesn't change his mind, then don't blame me for a heavy sentence!"

As he spoke, Liu Sheng looked around with his lingering eyes, scanning everyone's faces.

The common people seem to understand, they seem to understand the meaning of Liu Sheng's words, and they also understand why Liu Sheng let the two of them leave.

However, they were still curious. Which of the two of them was the criminal, this was the question they were most concerned about.

Liu Sheng didn't speak any more, but closed his eyes, waiting for them to return.

Seeing that the county magistrate was like this, everyone didn't dare to ask casually, so they could only wait silently.

The common people are extremely curious at this time, like a cat's paw scratching, but they can't eradicate the anticipation in their eyes.

It didn't make them wait for too long, and soon, the people in the periphery dispersed for a way, and the yamen servants who had just been sent out by Liu Sheng soon returned with the two people who had just left.

"grown ups……"

The leading yamen servant stepped forward and whispered a report in Liu Sheng's ear.

After Liu Sheng listened, he nodded, and he roughly knew who the murderer was.

But in the hall, not only the onlookers were still in a daze, but the two people who had just been brought back were also in a daze.

They didn't know what happened, and they were brought over by the yamen servants not long after they got home.

Could it be that the county magistrate deliberately entertained them?
