Li Er had enough acting today.
In the past, in order to maintain his image as a wise ruler, he strictly required himself to play the role of a "trash can" in the court.
After all, the sea was filled with rivers.
As for those ministers who had the halo of "remonstrance minister","loyal minister", and "famous minister", Wei Zheng was the representative. All the rubbish was thrown into his "trash can".
Naturally, Li Er had been unhappy for a long time.
But today, Li Er threw a real " king bomb " at Wei Zheng! It could be said to be very satisfying. He even began to feel that he had bullied Wei Zheng a little too much.
After all, although Wei Zheng's words were sometimes a little uncomfortable, his intentions were usually good.
Therefore, Li Er wanted to find a suitable time to comfort this old messenger in private.
A slap and a piece of candy was the most basic art of the Emperor!
……
What Li Er did not know was that although he had been acting cool in court today, Lin Ye had gotten into some trouble because of him.
There was a murder in An Le Village today!
The one who died was the biggest landlord in the village, Lin Tucai. Naturally, the news quickly spread to the neighboring village.
The elders in the village said that the last time there was a murder in the village was during the previous dynasty.
Soon, Chang 'an County sent constables to the village to investigate the case.
In the Tang Dynasty, the Supreme Court was also in charge of arresting and investigating cases. However, the Supreme Court was mostly in charge of major cases and official cases, or cases that Li Er had designated to investigate.
If it was a commoner who died, it would be under the jurisdiction of the county government.
When Lin Yechu heard the news of Lin Tucai's death, he was shocked.
Who was the one who helped Lin Tu so much?
But soon, Lin Ye realized that he was in trouble.
After all, Lin Tu had just brought people to provoke him yesterday, and then he died at home that night.
Logically speaking, the constables would definitely suspect him.
As expected, Lin Ye was soon identified as the prime suspect. The second and third suspects were Lin Shuisheng and Lin Houfu. Anyway, they were all related to Lin Ye.
In the afternoon, the constables came to Lin Ye's house under the guidance of the village chief.
Naturally, the nosy villagers surrounded Lin Ye's house. In their hearts, they seemed to have already determined that Lin Ye was the murderer.
This was the typical "judgment before trial" of the onlookers!
"This Lin Ye usually looks like a very kind person. I didn't expect him to be so ruthless that he would kill!”
"Even a cat will bite when it's anxious. He was probably forced by the forest soil!”
"No wonder I looked at him strangely yesterday. He was planning to kill someone.”
"Lin Ye killed someone, so he naturally has to pay with his life. It's the same for every generation. It's just that his mother-in-law is pitiful. She's so young and beautiful, but she has to live as a widow!”
"Actually, I don't mind marrying a widow.”
"I don't mind either."
"I think I can…"
……
The leader of the bailiffs who entered the room to ask was called Song Yu. He led three bailiffs under him.
Li Qingshuang had been very nervous ever since Song Yu entered the room with the three constables.
From what she knew, it seemed like the arrival of a government official meant the arrival of a disaster.
Lin Ye put his arm around her shoulder and said," Don't worry, it'll be fine. Go inside first. I'll handle this alone."”
" No, I have to be there to watch," Li Qingshuang said stubbornly." I can't let them accuse you wrongly. One more person means more."”
When Song Yu entered, he was surprised to see a female owner who looked like a fairy who had walked out of a painting.
Naturally, she was also quite jealous of Lin Ye.
He, Song Yu, had a decent "official position".
Although the head of constables was almost at the bottom of the Tang Dynasty's bureaucracy and did not have any rank, he was still considered to be a government official.
However, he was far from being as lucky as Lin Ye to marry a tigress.
The heavens were unfair. Even a farmer could marry a beautiful mother-in-law!
"Tell me, what grudge do you have with Lin Tucai?”
Song Yu questioned Lin Ye sharply. He seemed to have convicted Lin Ye in his heart.
"There's no grudge!" Lin Ye shrugged and said," If you don't believe me, you can ask the other villagers. I barely have any contact with Lin Tucai.”
" Then why did he come to see you yesterday?" Song Yu continued to ask," An insider said that when Lin Tu just left your house, his face was full of anger. You two quarreled very badly yesterday, right?”
"Yesterday, no one quarreled here.”Li Qingshuang chimed in.
Song Yu smiled and threatened,
"I think it's best for you to tell me the truth now. I've been handling cases for more than ten years, and no one can lie to me."
"In addition, I also learned a fact. You originally had a job as a night watchman, but you suddenly quit yesterday."
"Can you explain why you quit your job yesterday?”
