Judicial Doctor, Wild Princess

The words of Liu Wei about finding the culprit was actually not that absolute.

Li Kuan, the eldest son of Honorable Li's family. He stood at the age of one wife and two concubines in his family. There were three people in the outer chamber that he knew of. The number of people that he did not know was estimated to be six.

The Huai Shan of West Entering County was owned by the imperial government, and no one could get close enough to seize the land. The fact that the villagers who lived near the Huai Shan could chop firewood and hunt on the mountain was permitted by the county magistrate's seal.

A daughter does not inherit property, and the only son of Minister Li and his wife is Li Kuan.

Since he only had one son, there was no need for him to separate rooms. Therefore, even though he was already old enough to marry and have children, he should have long been separated. Li Kuan still lived with his parents.

Unfortunately, the year before last, Great Official Li had found an illegitimate child.

The mother of this illegitimate child was a brothel girl who had been raised in a foreign land when Master Li had gone out to discuss business matters with others.

Grand Marshal Li didn't think much of the brothel girl, and never thought of taking her back home as a concubine. That woman was tactful. She took the money and disappeared without a trace.

The year before, Grand Official Li once again went to the city to discuss business, and on the way, they bumped into an outer room that had already been married off. The two of them had initially been rather close, and had not planned to communicate with each other, but Grand Official Li had accidentally overheard it.

Counting the age, the investigation, and the months, only then did Lee find out that the outer chamber was pregnant with his child and separated from him.

Official Li was extremely angry. His wife only gave him one son, and this concubine did not live up to her expectations. She gave birth to three daughters, but who would have thought that there would actually be a son in the foreign land.

Thus, he decided to take the child away. The child was not that old, so he did not want to leave his mother behind. When he heard that his father was a wealthy county businessman, he had a brighter future ahead of him, so he agreed to follow his father home.

And so the bastard came to Xijin County.

This illegitimate child grew up poor and had a good eye. When he first came here, he was able to grasp the temperament of Great Official Li. After ten days, he even questioned Li Kuan, who was opposed to his entry, and even threatened to force Li Kuan's mother to enter with his death.

The spectators couldn't help but admire his methods.

After Li Kuan had his younger brother scam him a few times, he was like a fire and water compared to him. Whether it was in terms of managing the business or his daily life, he had become extremely noisy.

Two months later, Great Official Li had a business deal in the capital. Li Kuan and his illegitimate son both wanted to buy a business deal related to the ship's opening of a branch in the capital, but Great General Li had intentionally given it to his youngest son.

After knowing that he had nothing to do with the branch, Li Kuan became furious.

While the world was waiting for his anger to rise up and for him to fight to the death with his new younger brother, Li Kuan fell silent. It was a very strange silence, and after a few days of silence, he went to rent a mountain with the yamen.

If he didn't do a boat trade, would the local owner have gone?

No one knew what Li Kuan was thinking. In short, from that day onwards, he acted in a quiet and low-key manner. He even returned home a few times.

After that, Liu Wei very easily found the identity of the mountain from the lease letter at the yamen.

Li Kuang was Liu Wei's suspect.

Duke Song was dumbstruck as he heard Liu Wei explain everything she discovered on the mountain. After that, he immediately retorted while being taken aback: "The mountain is his, and the culprit is him? Isn't that a bit too sloppy? You also said that the underground river's connection and reservoir's location are both in that area. Maybe the culprit secretly touched the corpses that were transported over, and on what basis does the culprit say it's Young Master Li? "

County Magistrate Song was an economic official. He had previously offended the Sun family, but now he had suffered so much that he lost his hair all night long. This time, he had offended another wealthy gentleman, Senior Officer Li.

Liu Wei did not care about money. She only cared about solving cases.

"According to your yamen's lease book, Li Kuan leases a land area of 40 mu, from the mouth of the reservoir to the top of the mountain, connecting all the way, right?"

County Magistrate Song nodded, "So what if I am?"

Liu Wei said: "Then do you know, if you exit from the reservoir, it would be an underground river that could not be filled? The width of the underground river is two acres, and on the left side of the river, the path across five mu would be a cliff. On the right side of the river, there is a short path leading up the mountain.

When he first rented the land, he was only concerned about how much an acre of land would cost, so he didn't care about his position.

Measuring the location, it was all done by the Grand Master.

Thinking about this, he then said to Liu Wei "wait a moment" and quickly ran out to find Master.

After finding the Grand Master, the Grand Master said, "I was wondering when we were going to survey the land. Why does Young Master Li want that land? I also specifically told him that after the river crossed the reservoir it was to enter the well, that the water could not be filled, that the waterfall upstream could not be touched, that even the water below could not flow over, and that he agreed, and that I was still suspicious when I came back, didn't I still tell the Lord that you didn't take it seriously? "

County Magistrate Song could not remember, so he asked, "Did you tell me? How did I get back? "

Grand Master replied, "You tell me, who cares about him. It's rare for a fool to want that kind of place. If he's mentally ill, then let him be sick. Anyway, it's sealed, you won't be able to withdraw the money."

County Magistrate Song's mouth twitched in embarrassment, "Did I say that?"

Grand Master nodded his head, then said, "However, Young Master Li's rent time is quite strange. Our minimum rent is half a year, and he's only rented this place for half a year."

This time, even if County Magistrate Song wanted to explain more to Li Kuan, he couldn't.

It was one thing to rent a piece of land.

At the very least, you only rent it for half a year.

What could he do in half a year? It took four seasons to grow trees and grain, and he even found a wooden cabin and a wooden boat under Li Kuan's name in that field. All the evidence pointed towards Li Kuan, so how could he deny Li Kuan's innocence?

Even if the culprit wasn't Li Kuan, the purpose of Li Kuan renting this place was definitely not pure.
