After the group arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Lin Yuan first loaded the sweet potatoes into Li Shimin's carriage.
Then, he brought Princess Chang Le to the nearby county town.
Li Shi Min also entered the city with the excuse of replenishing his water and rations.
The group walked into the city.
He found that the city was very lively. The commoners surrounded the center of the market and shouted loudly.
Lin Yuan observed carefully and realized that the Magistrate was solving a case. Among them was a brothel woman with a tearful face, a fierce-looking muscular man, Zhang Shan, and an innocent-looking child, Li Si.
The commoners were agitated. Some of them even threw rotten eggs and rotten cabbages at Zhang Shan.
This was the first time Princess Chang Le had seen such a thing. She said excitedly,"Lin Yuan, let's go and see what's going on.”
Lin Yuan wasn't interested in it, but he could only nod.
Li Shimin saw his daughter joining in the fun, so he followed along with Cheng Yaojin and Du Ruhui.
The guards stood guard at the back to prevent anyone from approaching the Emperor.
After everyone got close, they listened to the conversation of the commoners.
Only then did he understand the whole story.
It turned out that the brothel woman had a copper coin stolen. This morning, she only had contact with children and strong men.
Hence, after she reported to the authorities, the county magistrate led the bailiffs to capture the child Li Si and the burly man Zhang Shan in the market.
However, a problem arose. Zhang Shan and Li Si both had copper coins on them.
The ancient copper coins did not have a number. The brothel girl could not tell whether the copper coins she lost belonged to Zhang Shan or Li Si.
The situation was in a stalemate.
After Lin Yuan took a look at Zhang Shan and Li Si's copper coins, he went into space with a lack of interest. How could such a trivial matter stir up the crowd?
However, this brothel girl was amazing. She could actually earn so much money.
Princess Chang Le was a little lost. She looked at Lin Yuan and realized that he was pretending to be asleep. She could only look at Du Ruhui and ask,""Uncle Mu, do you know who the thief is?”
Without waiting for Du Ruhui to speak.
A few women at the side chimed in.
"Is there a need to ask? It must be that Zhang Shan!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Zhang Shan was usually idle and looked fierce. He had even gotten into a fight with someone a while ago and had broken his penis. One look and he could tell that he was a bad person!”
"That's right. I know that child, Li Si. She's very obedient and calls everyone she sees.”
"I think so too. Besides, Li Si is so young. How could he steal that slut's money?”
"It must be Zhang Shan!"
The women were all confident.
After hearing this, Princess Chang Le also believed this conclusion, but she still looked at Du Ruhui and asked,""Uncle Mu, what do you think?"
"Since there's a direction for this matter, we'll just be bystanders and see how the Magistrate decides the case." Du Ruhui smiled.”
He would not believe the words of the commoners and convict the brawny man.
It still depended on what the county magistrate had to say.
The county magistrate was the one who understood this matter the most.
"Let's wait and see." Li Shimin also said.”
Princess Changle could only look at the county magistrate.
At this time, the county magistrate basically understood the entire situation.
The child, Li Si, had accidentally bumped into the woman from the brothel when she was returning home. He was also the last person the woman from the brothel had contact with.
Li Shan, on the other hand, was the one who took care of the brothel's business in the afternoon.
According to the order, Li Si was the most likely thief.
"But! As far as I know, Zhang Shan, your mother is seriously ill and is raising money to go to Chang 'an City to see a doctor. Where do you have the spare money to play? The truth was that he stole money to treat his mother's illness, right?”
Zhang Shan's expression froze. He straightened his neck and said,""This is really the money earned from a business deal! And my mother has already been sent to Chang 'an and is already receiving medical treatment!”
"The doctor said that my mother would be cured in seven days. I went to look for her because I was happy!”
"How is that possible?" the brothel woman asked. When you came, you clearly had a lot on your mind, and your actions were even... He was also very reckless. It was obvious that he was venting the depression in his heart!”
After the woman finished speaking, she started crying again with a red face."Magistrate, you have to stand up for me! This money was earned through hard work.”
The child, Li Si, also spoke in a childish voice. She blinked her innocent big eyes and said,"Magistrate, this money was earned by my mother. I didn't steal the money for my father's imperial examination!”
When the county magistrate heard this, he came to a conclusion in his heart.
Among the three of them, only Zhang Shan could not hold his ground. It was obvious that in this case, the thief was Zhang Shan.
Du Ruhui also came to the same conclusion.
Cheng Yaojin said excitedly,""This Zhang Shan can't do such a thing in order to treat his mother!”
Princess Chang Le muttered,"Every family has their own difficulties."”
Li Shimin nodded. He felt that his daughter's words were very philosophical.
Being born in an imperial family also had its difficulties.
However, he realized that Lin Yuan was looking at Zhang Shan expressionlessly. There was even some sympathy in his eyes.
Could it be that Lin Yuan had other opinions?
He subconsciously asked,"Lin Yuan, what do you think?”
When Lin Yuan heard that, he subconsciously said,""If this county magistrate thinks that the thief is Zhang Shan, then he must be an idiot.”
As soon as he said that, Li Shimin and the other three stared at Lin Yuan.
Are you trying to call us idiots?
