Chapter 300 The Case
Li Tong was almost numb to Wang Lang's endless whimsy.

He couldn't figure out how Wang Lang's head was so long, and why he was so much smarter than himself. He could only sigh in his heart: "Your Majesty is really different from ordinary people. I think only such a person can unite mankind!"

"Your Majesty, I will try according to your wishes. If I find anything, I will report to you immediately!" Li Tong said respectfully.

Wang Lang nodded, and said: "Everything here can't be revealed to others, even relatives, you must remember this."

Li Tong quickly patted his chest to assure him: "Chen, I will never leak a word, and I will not let anyone take out a piece of paper here."

"Very good. When the weapons you made are effective, I will reward you heavily. I hope you will use your best efforts to complete this matter." Wang Lang said in a deep voice.

When everyone heard this, they quickly expressed their determination to Wang Lang.

After Wang Lang encouraged everyone, he left the secret place where gunpowder was produced.

The explosion just now did not affect the lives of the residents of Yancheng. People are almost familiar with the phenomenon of thunder from time to time on sunny days. Except for the previous few times that scared everyone into panic, now it can only make people feel a little bit shocked. It was nothing more than a fright, and this strange phenomenon was only regarded as a topic of conversation after dinner.

Although gunpowder has not yet been put into practical application, according to this development momentum, it will not be long before the first batch of gunpowder weapons will be equipped with the army.

Compared with the military, gunpowder is more useful for civilians, and opening roads in iron mines and jungles will get twice the result with half the effort.

When road construction encounters huge and hard stones, there is no need to deliberately circle them. You only need to put a bundle of explosives, "Boom!", no matter what kind of stone you are, it will all be blown into powder.

In the north of Yancheng, Dingyuan City.

Since the city was built, after continuous population migration, it is now a large city with a population of nearly 4000.

Although it is not as lively as the capital Yancheng, many new shops have opened on both sides of the street, but most of the people in the city still make a living by farming.

Outside the city, there are fertile fields and canals, and a large number of farmers are wielding hoes to work in the fields. It is really picturesque to look at.

In the city, with the sound of drums in front of the yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the yamen servants hurriedly gathered and lined up on both sides.

Li Qingshui, a doctor from the Ministry of Punishment, came to the lobby in his official uniform, sat down at the square table, and said loudly, "Who is playing the drums in the hall?"

"Back to the doctor, Zhou Hei, a fellow countryman, sued Zhao Yu!" Zhou Hei, who had slightly dark skin, said nervously.

"What are you suing him for?" Li Qingshui asked.

Hearing this, Zhou Hei said emotionally: "Langzhong, the thing is like this. The day before yesterday, a livestock raised by my family ran out of the fence and was caught by Zhao Yu from the same village. I went to ask him for it, but he said it was him. My dear, that Zhao Yu is very strong, I can't beat him, and I was humiliated by him, and I asked Langzhong to be the master for me."

After listening to Zhou Hei's narration quietly, Li Qingshui said in a deep voice, "Then where is Zhao Yu now?"

"Go back to Langzhong, Zhao Yu is at his home right now, and he is keeping my animal in his pen," Zhou Hei said hastily.

"Come on! Go and bring me that Zhao Yu!"

Several yamen servants heard the words, took a step forward, and said in unison: "Yes!"

It may be the nature of human beings to watch the bustle. The people around who got the news came from bee pupae and surrounded the gate of the yamen.

Not long after, the yamen servant brought the flustered Zhao Yu over.

"It's Zhao Yu under the hall!" Li Qingshui said without the slightest emotion.

Zhao Yu couldn't help but trembled when he heard the words, and replied tremblingly, "That's right...it's a Chinese!"

"Bold Zhao Yu, why did you snatch Zhou Hei's livestock and not return it!" Li Qingshui suddenly shouted angrily.

Zhao Yu was taken aback, and quickly said: "Lang Zhong, when did I rob Zhou Hei's livestock? I caught that deer myself. How can he prove that it is his?"

Li Qingshui, who is familiar with Daxia's laws, naturally knows that witnesses and physical evidence are necessary to convict him.

"Zhou Hei, do you have a way to prove that the livestock is yours?" Li Qingshui asked.

"Lang Zhong, I bought that livestock from the trading station. It was a cub at first, and it took a year to raise it to such a large size. My neighbors all know about it, and they are in the hall now!" Zhou Hei was excited. Said.

"Chuan, Zhou Hei's neighbor came in!" Li Qingshui said in a deep voice.

After a while, three big men walked in from the hall and stood aside respectfully.

"You are Zhou Hei's neighbor!" Li Qingshui asked.

"Back to the doctor, we are Zhou Hei's neighbor!" one person replied.

"Have you heard what Zhou Hei said just now!"

One person nodded and said, "I heard that, we can prove that the livestock belongs to Zhou Hei, and we also helped to find it at that time."

"Okay, please describe the appearance of the livestock, and I'll let the yamen guard go and identify it!" Li Qingshui said.

Several people recalled it for a while, and said: "It was a male deer more than a year old. It had already grown horns. Its fur was khaki and there were some white spots on its body, especially on the tail, which was burned a little before. , and one piece was hairless."

Li Qingshui nodded and asked the yamen servant to check.

At this time, Zhao Yu was already sweating profusely, and he kept praying to the gods in his heart.

Not long after, the yamen servant came back with the results of the inspection, and whispered a few words in Li Qingshui's ear.

Li Qingshui's face immediately turned cold, and he said angrily, "Bold Zhao Yu, how dare you lie to me."

Zhao Yu begged with a pale face: "Lang Zhong, I'm guilty, I'm guilty, I'll return the animal to him right away."

Li Qingshui snorted coldly, and said: "According to the laws of Daxia, you have committed the crime of theft, and beating Zhou Hei is the crime of intentionally hurting others. If you are punished for both crimes, Zhao Yu will be sentenced to ten lashes and fixed-term imprisonment. After three months, immediately return the stolen goods to Zhou Hei."

When Zhao Yu heard the words, he suddenly felt dizzy, and begged again and again: "Langzhong, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong!"

Li Qingshui snorted coldly and said: "The law of the Great Xia was personally ordered by His Majesty, no blasphemy is tolerated, come here, drag it down and beat me!"

Hearing the words, the yamen servant immediately dragged Zhao Yu down. Following the sound of pig-killing screams, Zhou Hei said excitedly, "Thank you Lang Zhong for making the decision for me! Thank you Lang Zhong!"

Li Qingshui nodded, and said in a loud voice: "My countrymen, you must abide by the law, and you must not learn from Zhao Yu, who suffers from this flesh and blood for a small profit. The plaque above is made by His Majesty himself. The writing is fair and honest, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice protects the interests and dignity of every Chinese from being violated!"

Li Qingshui's words won the applause of everyone in the hall. For a long time, this case will be a good story in the hearts of the people of Dingyuan City.

　　You deny that my country is too small to be on the table, and I despise your old calendar.

　　You laugh at me for being treacherous and cunning to entrap other countries, and I pity you for only infighting and oppressing the people to cede land and pay compensation.

　　You can underestimate my sweat and hard work, I will prove whose time Euroland and the world are.

　　Seeking hegemony is destined to be a difficult journey, and jealousy and disputes are bound to be inevitable.
