Datang: Li Er, are you teaching me how to do things?

Chapter 81 Theft Case

The sky was covered with red clouds, and the sun left a toe, and the rest of it was over the hills in the west.

On the official road from Chang'an to Fuzhou, a convoy slowly moved forward.

There are cavalry at the front and back of the convoy. They carry bows and long arrows, and they look very majestic.

This convoy is Li Yun's convoy. In the middle carriage, Li Yun closed his eyes and rested. Fang Yiyu was pillowing on his right leg and fell asleep.

At this time, the weather has become much cooler, but it is still very uncomfortable to drive in the mountains, because although there are official roads here, the roads are very difficult to walk.

Even sitting in a carriage will not be very comfortable.

At first Li Yun told Fang Yiyu the novels of later generations, but after listening to them for a long time, Fang Yiyu fell asleep on his lap.

"Da da da!"

There was a sound of horseshoes returning, "Your Highness, there is a small town in front of you, and there is an inn. Master Huang means that we will spend the night there."

"Okay, you can make arrangements, pay attention, the scouts must be dispersed."

"promise."

The sentry cavalry then hurried away, Li Yun opened the curtains and saw a not-so-tall house.

This is a very ordinary town with a main road with some houses and shops on both sides of the main road.

At this time, most of the shops are closed, and only a few restaurants are still open.

The station was very small, and it couldn't accommodate so many soldiers. The soldiers surrounded the station with three layers inside and three layers outside, and some people scattered all over the town.

Li Yun washed his face and was about to go downstairs to have dinner with Fang Yiyu when there was a burst of shouting outside.

"My lord, the grassroots are wronged, my lord, please make the decision for the grassroots, my lord, the grassroots refuse to accept."

Then there was another yell, but it was others who spoke for the man.

Li Yun came to the lobby on the first floor and saw Huang Jingwei and Guo Aiming.

"Your Highness, there is a man outside, named Chen Wu, who said he was wronged. I just sent someone to inquire. It turns out that he ate at a restaurant in the town this morning, and the owner of the restaurant lost his money bag."

"The owner of the restaurant said that these customers in the restaurant stole his money bag, and then organized people to stop these customers and prevent them from leaving."

"Later the mayor came and searched his body one by one. He found a money bag in Chen Wu's arms. The restaurant owner said it was his money bag."

"Chen Wu was beaten up and his money bag was taken away, but Chen Wu refused to accept it. He meant that the money bag was money he won in the casino, and many people can testify to him."

"Chen Wu led people to find the mayor to argue, but the mayor ignored him."

"He had no choice but to come over when he saw us."

Li Yun nodded, "Master Huang can deal with it, don't bother me."

Huang Jingwei breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that Li Yun really didn't intend to compete with him.

He was very satisfied with Li Yun's attitude, and bowed deeply, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, we will definitely resolve this case properly."

Huang Jingwei then led Guo Aiming out, and Li Yun naturally followed.

Chen Wu is a middle-aged man in his 30s. He has dark skin, small eyes, and some fat on his face. Looking at it makes people feel uneasy. He looks like an old bastard.

The same is true of those cheering and shouting people behind Chen Wu. Presumably these are Chen Wu's "witnesses".

There are also such people in later generations. If Chen Wu wins the lawsuit, he will not be able to keep his money bag, because he will invite these "witnesses" to drink.

Guo Aiming showed disgust, and frowned immediately.

A trace of suspicion also flashed in Huang Jingwei's eyes, Chen Wu's image was too bad.

Relatively speaking, the image of the owner of the restaurant is much better. He is a man of about 50 years old, with a medium build and appearance, but he is dressed in Confucian clothing and has the temperament of a scholar, which makes people feel more familiar.

Chen Wu expressed his opinion, the owner of the restaurant bowed slightly, and then said: "My lords, the villain lost his purse, and then searched under the eyes of everyone. In the bag, what else is the problem?"

Guo Aiming nodded, "Chen Wu, what do you say?"

"I don't know why he lost the money bag. The money bag on my body belongs to me. Why should it be his?"

"I have two gold nuggets of one tael in my purse, and fifty precious coins. This is the proof."

At this moment, someone shouted, "Chen Wu, what are you, you can afford gold nuggets."

At this time in Datang, the main circulation in the market is Zhuqian, Baoqin and cloth, and silver and gold are not in circulation, but if you really have gold and silver, it is also very valuable.

Rich people like to use gold and silver to make bowls and chopsticks, or Buddha statues. Generally speaking, a small tael of gold can be exchanged for a thousand yuan.

In other words, the purse actually contained two thousand and twenty coins, which was not a small sum.

When Chen Wu heard this, he jumped up and shouted: "Fuck your mother, I won it from a gambling house. Many brothers of my brother have seen it."

Guo Aiming nodded, and then said: "Since both of you insist on your own opinions, explain it clearly one by one. You said that the money bag is yours, so how did you get your gold nuggets?"

"It was exchanged for it when I was a merchant in Chang'an. It comes from the famous Bao Jindao in Chang'an. This is my transaction invoice. I exchanged it for a gold nugget to make a gold-plated one for my mother."

Baojinyu is a well-known gold and silver utensil shop in Chang'an, which can make silver and gold ornaments.

Guo Aiming took the invoice, and then showed it to Huang Jingwei, Huang Jingwei nodded, "This is the invoice from Bao Jinxuan."

Guo Aiming then asked Chen Wu, "Where did your gold nuggets come from, and what evidence do you have?"

"My gold nugget was won in the casino, and many of my brothers saw it."

"Who will win?"

"A strange young man, he lost dozens of money at that time, and then he was not convinced, and exchanged gold nuggets for my precious money."

Guo Aiming smiled, "Then can you find that young man?"

The restaurant owner lowered his head subconsciously when he heard the words.

Chen Wu frowned and said: "He should be from outside, I can't find him now."

"Chen Wu, you have to find this person, because your brother and your partner are all people you know. From a legal point of view, they can also testify, but the credibility of the evidence is not as good as other people's invoices."

"Why, why can't my brothers testify?"

"You can testify, but you don't have enough credibility. Otherwise, if I say you stole a hundred dollars from me, then my mother can testify. Do you believe me?"

Everyone burst into laughter, everyone understood this truth, some people cannot be witnesses.

Chen Wu's face was pale, with sweat on his forehead, "Where can I find this person? He might have left long ago."

Neither Huang Jingwei nor Guo Aiming spoke. They obviously didn't believe Chen Wu's words.

Li Yun said at this time: "It's not necessary to find someone, take out the money bag and show me."
