Chapter 103 Sending a plaque

Li Rizhi waved Wu Eryou and asked Wu Eryou to come into the store. He said, "Brother Yun has completely confessed. It was his elder brother Wu Dayou who killed him, and his sister-in-law Pan. Recommended: Fenghuo Xiu's new work "Sword Comes" http://www./0_1/"

Wu Eryou burst into tears and nodded repeatedly. Zheng Gangling looked at him and said, "Do you have anything to say to me? Let's take out the rag from your mouth first. He has finished confessing and you can speak!"

Wu Eryou quickly took out the rag from his mouth. He knelt down and cried, "I hope Master Qingtian will make the decision for the students!"

Zheng Gangling said: "I have my own opinions. Get up and stand aside."

Li Rizhi said to the shopkeeper Ximen: "The rest of the matter has been said by the shopkeeper Ximen. Then Brother Yun was blocked on the second floor by the shopkeeper Ximen. Then he jumped out of the bathroom and ran away, and the confessions were linked. However, I have something unknown and it is not easy to infer, that is, Manager Ximen. Why did you leave after we arrived? He was caught by Brother Yun?

The shopkeeper Ximen said with a grievance, "The villain didn't want to escape, but he was feeling guilty, so he didn't want to be too close to all the old men in the government, so he wanted to hide outside the town. When the uncles left, the villain came back, but was caught by Brother Yun and insisted that the villain wanted to escape, and then pressed the charge of murder on the villain's head. The villain is really wronged!"

Li Rizhi snorted and said, "You may not be wronged when you go privately to a private house at night, but it just doesn't cause any serious consequences!"

The onlookers nodded, and they would have to be a little bit good to this shopkeeper Ximen in the future. This guy likes to wander around in the middle of the night and tease the women in the town. He is a bad guy!

Li Rizhi said to the people in the town: "The government will punish the shopkeeper Ximen, but if he does bad things in the town in the future, you don't have to hit him after you catch him. You just need to let him think about his mistakes when facing the toilet!"

The people in the town burst into laughter. This trick is really useful. In the future, the shopkeeper Ximen will change his name and call it Ximen toilet!

Zheng Gangling said: "Although the case has been cleared, he has to go back to the county government to pronounce the verdict. It was too late today and he could not return to the yamen. So he stayed here for one night and went back to the county town tomorrow. I would like to invite the villagers in the town to entertain him. This official will pay for food and accommodation!"

Everyone in the town was happy. As long as the people in the government were willing to pay, it would be fine. Anyway, who is not doing business? There were not too big hotels in the small market town, and the servants could only stay in various places. Zheng Gangling and Li Rizhi lived in the only tavern in the town.

Brother Yun was taken to the Wuji Steamed Cake Shop, under the supervision of Wu Eryou and two servants, and it is best to be under the supervision of Wu Eryou, because Wu Eryou will not let Brother Yun escape, no matter how much he is.

That night, while having supper in the tavern, the owner of the tavern told Zheng Gangling that he had told a passing guest about the Wu family's case. However, he only talked about the first half and did not say that the guest had left. He seemed to be a scholar. The owner of the tavern was very worried that the passing guests would write randomly and changed the Wu family's case beyond recognition.

After hearing this, Li Rizhi smiled and said, "Don't worry, literati usually don't use their real names when writing books, especially when writing bizarre things. And the story will be changed. You don't have to worry about destroying anyone's reputation. You don't need to take this matter to heart!"

Zheng Gangling was very happy. If this case could be spread and let the people know that Li Rizhi was very good at solving the case, it would be of great help to make Li Rizhi famous.

If Li Rizhi went to Chang'an in the future, during the scientific examination, some people said, "Oh, isn't this the Li Rizhi who solved some cases? He is a capable person, so let him become a Jinshi!"

Or if Li Rizhi's name is known by the people in the palace, it will be of greater help to Li Rizhi's future career.

However, because the passerby didn't know that there was Li Rizhi, even if he wrote the story, it had nothing to do with Li Rizhi. On the contrary, because he was both a scholar, the passerby wanted to write Wu Eryou, and he would probably write a lot of good words. Wu Eryou, a useless man, might be written as a tall and mighty image.

However, these things are not what Li Rizhi and the others care about. Things are not merits and demerits, so let future generations comment on them!

Early the next morning, Li Rizhi and Zheng Gangling led a group of servants and Wu Eryou to take Ximen shopkeeper and Brother Yun to return to the county government.

After returning to the county government office, Zheng Gangling immediately went to the hall without any rest, asked the clerk to write his confession, asked Brother Yun to press his handprint, and directly sentenced him to death and reported it to the state. As long as he received a reply, he could cut off Brother Yun's head.

As for the shopkeeper Ximen, because of his poor character, of course, the shopkeeper Ximen himself also thought so. He never thought he was noble, but no matter how despicable his character was, he did not do anything serious. Therefore, Zheng Gangling only sentenced Ximen shopkeeper Ximen shopkeeper to 20 small boards, not big boards, but small boards, as a punishment. Ximen shopkeeper had no objection. After getting the twenty small boards, he went home.

Faced with Wu Eryou, Zheng Gangling first awarded the Wu family's property to him and asked him to inherit the family business. He also told Wu Eryou not to believe in others' words in the future.

For example, Brother Yun actively helped Wu Eryou to deal with various things this time. In fact, it was not that Brother Yun was kind-hearted, but that Brother Yun was monitoring him and also wanted to influence Wu Eryou to make others not suspect him, and even put the charges on others. This was an obvious use of Wu Eryou.

Zheng Gangling asked Wu Er to distinguish right from wrong in the future and not listen to the wind and rain. Reading more books is a good thing, but reading it to the heart. Even if you can’t solve the case like Li Rizhi, you must also clearly distinguish who is a good person and who is a bad person!

Wu Eryou was very ashamed and thanked Zheng Gangling for his persuasion, and then went home to deal with the funeral between Wu Dayou and Pan!

The case was solved and all the things on the surface were done. Zheng Gangling began to think about how to write a good-looking file and brag about Li Rizhi, so that the governor would know about Li Rizhi!

So, Zheng Gangling almost racked his brains and wrote a very good-looking file, which made Li Rizhi like a child prodigy. Although Li Rizhi was no longer a boy, Li Rizhi also solved the case when he was a child. The former child prodigy is still extremely smart now.

After writing the file, Zheng Gangling asked Li Rizhi to see and asked Li Rizhi to know how the file was written, so that he would not really meet the governor. As a result, when the governor asked, Li Rizhi said that he would miss it, and that would be bad, so he would swear for him in vain!

After reading this file, Li Rizhi's face turned red. Is he so great? It seems too exaggerated! But, his uncle, of course, he has to say his good things about him!

Zheng Gangling said: "Rizhi, go home first, don't go back to the academy immediately. You have to stay for at least three more days. I will report the file of this case to the state, and then make a name for you in the county. I will give you a plaque and record it in the county. In this way, you will become a celebrity in Xingyang. When the governor finds out, he will also brag about you. You will become a celebrity in Zhengzhou. If you go to Chang'an again and get a Jinshi, it will not be too difficult!"

In the early Tang Dynasty, the imperial examinations were not absent. All examiners knew that as long as the test papers were not too bad, the chances of being a Jinshi would be much greater. According to the rules that whoever is famous would be able to pass the exam. Sometimes, the rankings would be determined before the exam even began!

It is precisely because this exam method has too many disadvantages that it is improved. For example, when you start to miss a name, you are not allowed to have more contact with the examiner and candidates before the exam starts, and you must avoid suspicion.

Fortunately, in the era in which Li Rizhi lived, the scientific research system was not perfect, so it could still be operated. In addition, Li Rizhi was indeed capable, so there was quite a lot of room for operation!

Li Rizhi was very embarrassed. He was still too experienced and had too thin skin, but it didn't matter. As long as Zheng Gangling had a thick skin, it would be fine. Those who are uncles would handle these things well for their nephew!

Li Rizhi said goodbye to Zheng Gangling, returned home, met Li Zhengchun and Zheng, and told him about his case and then talked about Zheng Gangling's arrangements!

Li Zhengchun and Zheng were overjoyed. Li Zhengchun said, "It's great to make a name for yourself. My son is a capable person. The county is good at making my son famous. Well, of course, the county is the final word for your uncle, so your uncle is the best!"

Li Zhengchun laughed and was very proud, as if his son Li Rizhi had already passed the Jinshi.

Zheng was even more happy. She said, "I just don't know what kind of plaques the old man in the city will give you. If it doesn't suit our wishes, what should I do? Should we give them a size first and then set the words to be written on the plaque. I see the labor and material fees, so we can pay them together. We are willing to spend money ourselves. I am afraid that those old man will be reluctant to give up. As a result, the plaque will cut corners when it is made!"

This is a problem and needs to be considered carefully. Li Zhengchun nodded repeatedly. He had worked in the Imperial Hospital before and was well aware of the importance of fame. This plaque cannot be done poorly!

Li Rizhi smiled and said, "Dad, mom, you're over-thinking. Since the plaque was made by my uncle, how could they not be careful? Besides, a person who can solve the case in the local area can be recorded in the county annals, which is even more worthy of bragging about. Of course, the plaques of the Su Laos will do it with care. You don't have to worry, maybe the plaques they made are better than what we do ourselves!"

It was right for Li Zhengchun and Zheng to think about it. If the Su Laos want to flatter Zheng Gangling, of course they should pay attention to this matter, especially if this matter can be recorded in the Xingyang County Chronicle, which is a very honorable matter. The Xingyang County Chronicle records the major events and famous people in the local area of ​​Xingyang, and specifically records various local matters. The Su Laos have always attached great importance to it.

Li Rizhi asked the servants at home to boil water. He went back to the house to take a shower, then took a nap, and started reading again after getting up. No matter how famous he is, he still must read well. After all, this is the foundation for taking scientific examinations in the future!

I read the book for two days in a row. On the third day, it was almost noon. Li Rizhi suddenly heard the sound of firecrackers outside his door, crackling and crackling. He knew that it must be the old people who came carrying the plaque!

Li Rizhi immediately put down the book, took the bronze mirror, looked at his face well, and then asked the maid to comb his hair, then sat upright in the room, holding the book, reading in a pretentious manner, and deliberately opened the window so that as soon as others entered the yard, they could see him sitting and reading, waiting for others to call him!

Sure enough, before waiting for a while, someone in the yard shouted: "Mr. Li, Mr. Li, the old man in the city has come, and he even raised a plaque to congratulate you on successfully solving a major case. It has spread all over the ground in Xingyang. Mr. Li is really a master of solving cases!"

Li Rizhi coughed and said, "What a trivial matter, what's the point? The old man Su in the city actually came here in person. It really makes the students ashamed and feel ashamed of their love for Mr. Su and his fellow villagers!"

There was an old man in his eighties who was wearing decent clothes and was helped into the yard. The old man looked bad. After entering the yard, he shouted to the wall on the west side: "Mr. Li, come out to pick up the plaque..."

Someone immediately reminded him: "Old Zhang Su, Mr. Li is in the room on the north side, sitting in front of the window reading, and the wall on the west side!"

"Oh, where is the North? I can't see clearly!" said Zhang Su Lao.

The person next to him quickly turned the old man's body gently, and then Mr. Zhang Su shouted at Li Rizhi in the room: "Mr. Li, come out to answer the plaque... Cough cough, cough cough!"
