Phoenix Nine Heavens

"Who is kneeling in the hall? What grievances do you have?" Mao Degui immediately patted the gavel in his hand after being promoted to the hall, and immediately asked an old woman kneeling in front of him.

"Qin Li, a folk woman, is from Zhengyang Street in this county. She runs a restaurant outside the county seat. When cleaning up the old accounts the day before yesterday, she found that a merchant from Huai'an County called Li Wei owed money to the small restaurant. If it has not been returned, please be the master for the women!" At this time, a gorgeously dressed woman saw Magistrate Mao asking, and immediately said to Magistrate Mao.

If she hadn't gone through those old accounts in the past two days, she probably wouldn't have known that there was such a large amount of money owed in the hotel.

But because of the long time, she couldn't find this person, so she could only come to the county yamen to seek help from the yamen.

But she didn't know that this man named Li Wei had been murdered three years ago, and his bones had been hidden in the earthen wall of the ruined temple for many years. If it wasn't for Su Xuan and the others passing by the ruined temple, and the rain washed down the earthen wall, it might not have happened. Some people know that Li Wei has died in a foreign land.

"Are you sure that the person who pays for the wine in your hotel is Li Wei, a merchant from Huai'an?" Upon hearing Li Wei's name, Mao Degui immediately widened his eyes, looked at the kneeling woman in the hall, and asked again seriously.

You must know that this matter is of great importance, and there should be no surprises, so he must take every detail seriously and ask clearly what is going on.

"Return to your lord, the lady has in her hand the indebtedness bill signed and pledged three years ago, and the word Li Wei is clearly written on it, please have a look at it!" The woman immediately took out an account book and put it on Mao Degui's In front of him, he said to Mao Degui.

"Although Li Wei is a foreign merchant, he has business dealings here, and he still carries a silver bag with him. How can he not pay for some wine?" Seeing the woman, Mao Degui said so firmly, and he could produce evidence, but But he still questioned the authenticity of what Qin Li said in front of him.

Since Mrs. Qin Li said that Li Wei was a foreign merchant, he must be well dressed. How could it be possible that such a well-dressed person does not have silver taels?

Moreover, since Li Wei came to Canglong County, it must be because of his own business and Canglong County. If so, he should not be short of money.

That being the case, what about the autograph on this bill?Could it be that Li Wei is really so poor that he can't afford to pay for his drinks?
This doesn't make sense, you have to know that during the process of Wang Si and Li Wei's acquaintance, Wang Si repeatedly emphasized that Li Wei has silver on him, and that silver is as much as 100 taels.

On that day, Wang Si took home the 100 taels and the silver bag discarded at the scene of the crime because of his greed for money, and this happened later.

But now Qin Li said that Li Wei couldn't pay for the wine, and even needed to sign and put a deposit on the bill, so that the restaurant could pay him the bill and wait for it to be returned in the future.

What's going on here?Who is lying?This really made Magistrate Mao very anxious.

"Just like him? Pay back the money? The woman only thinks that he is useless except for better clothes!" The woman said to Mao Degui immediately when she saw Mao Degui questioning him.

If that guy had some money, she believed that the other party would never sign the bill to pay for the wine on credit, so her face was full of disdain at the moment, as if she looked down on that kid.

"Captain Ying, invite Mr. Su!" Mao Degui felt that this case was inextricably related to the case of hiding corpses in ruined temples, so he didn't dare to make his own claims, so he immediately ordered Chief Ying to invite Su Xuan over.

He believed that what this woman said would help the case to some extent, so he was anxious to have someone call Su Xuan over so that Su Xuan could see what was going on.

Catcher Ying didn't dare to neglect, immediately turned around and ran towards the back hall of the yamen, intending to immediately notify Su Xuan to come to the front hall to interrogate this woman.

After a while, Su Xuan and Xiao Jing brought the two policemen Zhao Song to the court and appeared beside Mao Degui.

When Mao Degui saw Su Xuan came to the court, how dare he continue to sit on the high hall, so he immediately got up, bowed to Su Xuan and said: "Master Su, this case is related to the case of hiding corpses in ruined temples. The officials dare not make decisions, so please ask your lord to intervene in person!"

"Mr. Qin and Li, you said that Li Wei owed wine money on credit at your hotel? But the truth?" Su Xuan saw that Mao Degui had already reviewed the matter, so she immediately took over Mao Degui's rights, and immediately turned to the woman asked.

"Responding to my lord, it is true. This is the bill signed by Li Wei!" The woman immediately said to Su Xuan with certainty, and immediately handed over the account book in her hand to Su Xuan to check.

The little mirror took the account book, and then handed it over to Su Xuan directly for Su Xuan to check it.

Naturally, Su Xuan didn't waste any time, and immediately opened the account book she received, and found the credit record, and carefully checked the signature on it.

Although it has been a long time, the paper on which the wine owed on credit has begun to turn yellow and aged, but the handwriting of last year is clear, and the written content can be checked clearly, and there is no dispute. It can be completely proved that Li Wei owed the restaurant one. Drink money.

"This Li Wei can't pay for the wine, so how did he dress at that time?" Seeing that what Qin Li said was true, Su Xuan immediately asked Qin Li about Li Wei's clothes and attire at that time.

"This was all three years ago. The woman doesn't remember it very clearly, but the woman can still remember that he is not badly dressed, and he doesn't look like someone who can't pay for the drink, otherwise the shop won't follow his instructions." Asked for food and drink.

As the saying goes, people should not be judged by their appearance, how can a woman dare not imagine that a man dressed in such a brightly dressed man would not even be able to pay for a meal of wine! " Qin Li said to Su Xuan at this time.

"Did he only owe money for a drink, or did he just have a drink at your restaurant?" Su Xuan continued to ask, it seems that these details are very important to this case, so she took the trouble to face Qin Li asked.

"No, he only owed the money for the drink, but he didn't just have a drink in the small shop!" The woman went on immediately, "The woman clearly remembers that the next afternoon he owed the money for the drink Ten, he drank with a skinny man in a small shop, because he was worried that he would not be able to pay for the wine, my shopkeeper specially asked him to pay first.

Unexpectedly, this kid was unambiguous, and actually took out a certain amount of money on the spot, and asked the shopkeeper to choose wine and food for them. In this way, the two of them drank a meal in the small shop, and did not leave until nightfall! "
