Fortunate Young Gentleman

Outside the prison, officials from Yi'an County were anxiously waiting.

Although County Magistrate Zhao could hold up the sky, if something really happened, the Yi'an County Magistrate and the County Lieutenant would also be implicated, especially the Yi'an County Lieutenant in charge of public security. Once the Chu envoy reported the case, his position would be over.

They wanted to go in and see what was going on, but they were afraid of disturbing Tang Jieyuan, and they were very conflicted.

Not far away, Governor Dong strode over, and his voice arrived before he arrived.

"How is the case going? Have the envoy's things been found?"

"Sir Dong." Captain Xiu bowed to him, looked inside the cell, and said, "The things have not been found yet. Tang Jieyuan is interrogating the suspect inside."

"Tang Jieyuan, interrogating?"

"Nonsense!" Governor Dong was stunned for a moment, his face darkened, and he looked at Zhao Zhijie and questioned, "This case is extraordinary and of great importance. How can Magistrate Zhao treat it like a joke!"

He was not targeting anyone at the moment. If it was an ordinary theft case, it would be fine. But it happened to involve the envoy of Chu. If this case was not handled well, the pressure from above would be directly imposed on him. He had been sitting in the position of Governor of Lingzhou for a long time, and he was still thinking about climbing up. Now, it's good that he can stay where he is, which is already a blessing.

Zhao Zhijie clasped his fists and said, "Tang Jieyuan is very smart, even Lord Song Qiansong praised him highly. Lord Dong might as well wait a little longer to see what the final result will be."

When Zhao Zhijie mentioned Song Qian, Governor Dong's heart moved, and then he remembered that Tang Jieyuan was highly praised by Lord Song Qiansong, the chief judge of Jingdong Road, and he must have some ability.

His expression eased, and he glanced at Zhong Mingli and Zhao Zhijie, and said, "Then it depends on Tang Jieyuan."

Inside the cell, Tang Ning estimated that the time was about right, looked at Li Tianlan, and said, "Brother Li, I need your help later."

Li Tianlan showed interest on his face and asked, "How can I help?"

Tang Ning looked around and whispered a few words in her ear.

A slight blush appeared on her face, and then her eyes showed a strange color and nodded.

When Tang Ning walked into the cell again, the man's face was several times paler than before. He looked extremely haggard, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat, which showed how much he had struggled in his heart during the period of time.

Seeing Tang Ning walk in, his body began to tremble violently, and he couldn't stop.

Tang Ning pretended not to notice his abnormality, sighed, and said: "The three brothers are really of one mind. Neither of them confessed."

The man's face quickly turned red, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Tang Ning looked at him and asked again: "Are you really not going to confess? It's only two or three years since they confessed. When they confess, you will only have one knife."

The man looked up at him and smiled bitterly: "It wasn't us who did it. There's really no way to confess..."

"You still have a chance..." Tang Ning looked at him and was about to speak when Li Tianlan walked in from outside.

He looked at the man, then at Tang Ning and said, "No need to ask."

Tang Ning looked at her and said in surprise, "Confess?"

Li Tianlan did not answer, but turned and walked out.

Tang Ning looked at the man and sighed, "There was a chance just now, but now it's gone."

When he stood up and walked out, the man was terrified and trembling like a sieve.

He quickly crawled to Tang Ning's feet, his face collapsed, and shouted, "I confess, I confess, sir, don't kill me, I confess..."

...

Tang Ning held a piece of paper in her hand, on which was written the hiding place of the Chu envoy's thing.

When the government began to arrest habitual thieves in Lingzhou City one by one, they realized that the sheep they stole was not an ordinary sheep, but a sheep from Chu.

So they hid the things as soon as possible, and compared their confessions with each other, unified their statements, and firmly denied it.

As habitual thieves, they have been in and out of the Yi'an County jail seven times. They are more familiar with the laws and regulations than some officials. Without any evidence, they will be released after being locked up for a few days at most, and they will be treated as if they have never seen that thing.

Li Tianlan looked at Tang Ning, thought for a while, and asked: "What is this... theory you just said?"

"Game theory."

"What is... game theory?" Li Tianlan looked at Tang Ning with confusion on her face. This was the first time she heard this term today, and the person in front of him used this "game theory" to solve a difficult case in a short time and help them find the envoy's seal.

And he just said that the use of "game theory" is far more than that.

Tang Ning thought for a moment, looked at her and said, "Game theory, in layman's terms, is a linguistic theory that animals use the addictive souls of nature to form a three-dimensional equilibrium in the space expected by decision makers."

Li Tianlan thought for a long time, looked at him, and said, "Can you explain it in a more popular way?"

"This is a long story." Tang Ning looked at her, waved her hand, and said, "I will explain it to you slowly later."

Just now, she said something unintentionally, but she didn't expect that the girls of Chu were so straightforward. Tang Ning would explain game theory to her in detail in a few days, and there was no rush.

Tang Ning looked at her again and asked, "What do you plan to do with the three prisoners?"

Li Tianlan thought for a moment and said, "Deal with them according to the law."

Everyone has a different understanding of "dispose according to law". With the same sentence of "dispose according to law", these three people may be slapped dozens of times and sent back, or they may lose three heads because they stretched out their hands one more time.

Tangning didn't think it was the latter, so she looked at Li Tianlan and said, "It's good that the things are back. It's wrong for them to steal things, but it's not a crime that will lead to death."

After what happened this time, those three people should have a psychological shadow on the profession of thieves in the future. They must always give others a chance to correct themselves. If these three people lose their heads because of him, a certain level in Tangning's heart will remain for a long time. Can't get through it.

In this matter, the envoys of Chu State had a strong say.

Li Tianlan looked at him, nodded and said, "I understand, don't worry."

Thinking of something, he looked at a policeman behind him and said, "Those three will continue to be detained separately."

When Tang Ning and Li Tianlan walked out of the prison, a group of people surrounded them in front of them.

"How's it going?" The first one to step forward was Governor Dong, who looked more anxious than anyone else.

Tang Ning looked at him and nodded, then handed the piece of paper in her hand to Zhao Zhijie and said, "The things are hidden here. Master Zhao, please send someone to take a look."

Zhao Zhijie took the piece of paper, looked at Tang Ning deeply, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you Tang Jieyuan."

Zhong Mingli breathed a sigh of relief. When he looked at Zhao Zhijie, his brows furrowed, but he didn't speak again.

The repairman looked at Tang Ning with a look of disbelief on his face.

Several officials in Ngee'an County breathed a sigh of relief and gathered around Zhao Zhijie.

Li Tianlan took a few steps to the side, looked at the middle-aged envoy, and said, "Master Zhou, go and see if the things are there first."

"Yes." The envoy responded, followed by several police officers, and immediately left in a hurry.

Tang Ning looked at Li Tianlan and then at the middle-aged envoy who was leaving. After thinking for a moment, she shook her head, said hello to her father-in-law, and left. He still has two policy papers to write today.

Li Tianlan walked to Zhao Zhijie and said, "Master Zhao, I have a few more words to ask the prisoners. Is it convenient?"

Zhao Zhidian nodded, looked at the other two detectives, and said, "You accompany Mr. Li in."

Less than half an hour later, when Li Tianlan walked out of the prison again, although the expression on his face was calm, there were already waves in his heart.

She tried the method Tangning had just used on the other two people, and the results were exactly the same.

The two men persisted shorter than the first man and confessed to the case.

Obviously as long as everyone refuses to say anything, the three of them will not be guilty. Why is this the result?

In her heart, she became interested in "game theory".

Of course, she was more interested in that person.
