Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 670
"What's going on here?" Everyone was more and more surprised.

"The old man doesn't know exactly what happened, but he heard that Wang Bao went to the Ci'en Temple and fell from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Although he survived by chance, he broke his legs." The old man Hu said.

"Tsk tsk, this Wang Bao is really pitiful!"

"That's right, how can there be such a cruel woman in the world? She really deserves to be struck by thunder!"

Li Canghai narrowed his eyes, and from what Old Man Hu said, he gradually understood the whole story.

To put it simply, it is the story of a pair of adulterers and sluts. This story also has a similar version in later generations, called 'Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing'.

However, from what he knew, Ma Rong and Song Yan were much more ruthless than Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing.

At least, when Ximen Qing hooked up with Pan Jinlian, he didn't think of playing Wu Dalang's biscuits.

However, after the adultery was exposed, this couple took away all the family property that Wang Bao had worked so hard to accumulate.

It stands to reason that such small cases should be handed over to the Chang'an government for resolution.

But Li Canghai faintly felt that this matter was not that simple.

"Old man, do you dare to take Ma Rong to court for what you said?" Li Canghai asked.

The old man Hu said seriously: "Why don't you dare? Ma Rong is a slut who steals men and property, and everything is disgusting! Everything the old man said is true, if there is even half a lie, the sky will be struck by lightning!"

Li Canghai nodded and said, "In that case, I will take over the case."

The old man Hu looked at him in surprise, and said in disbelief: "My lord, are you really willing to take over this case? Even the Chang'an Mansion is unwilling to take over the matter of the Wang family. Your lord is really willing to avenge the Wang family?"

Li Canghai looked old man Hu up and down, and asked, "Old man, may I ask why you care so much about the Wang family's affairs?"

The old man Hu said: "I have been neighbors with Wang Bao for several years, and I know Wang Bao very well. What's more, in the most difficult time of the small shop, thanks to Wang Bao's help. This kindness, the old man has always remembered Wu Nei. Now Wang Bao is in trouble, how can the old man just sit back and ignore it? I only hate that the old man is old and weak, and there is nothing I can do to help him!"

"That's it. The old man has no blood relationship with him, and everyone is willing to help him. As the official of the parents, how can I ignore it? Besides, according to your words, this Wang Bao is also a simple and honest person. How can I allow the good people to be bullied and the wicked to be at ease?" Li Canghai said seriously.

When the old man heard the words, he was very excited and said: "If my lord can avenge Wang Bao's grievances, the Wang family will really be saved! The old man is here, kowtowing to my lord on Wang Bao's behalf!"

As he spoke, Old Man Hu knelt down tremblingly.

"Please hurry up, old man! This is my duty." Li Canghai helped the old man Hu, and said: "Give me a day, and tomorrow the Japanese official will hold a trial in Dali Temple, and the injustice will definitely be paid. One is fair."

After speaking, Li Canghai left Zhuque Street and headed for Dali Temple.

After Li Canghai left, the surrounding audience began to discuss.

"Why is the Minister of Dali Temple so young?"

"Huh, Zhengqing of Dali Temple? Could it be the 'Shenduan' Master Li Canghai who became famous all over the world some time ago?"

"When you say that, it seems to be true! It is said that Mr. Li is very good at solving cases, comparable to Mr. Di back then! If this is true, the Wang family's grievances may really be able to seek justice!"

"Did you hear that? Just now he said that he only needs one day to investigate the case. This time is just to see if he is as powerful as the rumors say."

"If you want to know whether he is really as powerful as the rumors, go to Dali Temple tomorrow for a hearing!"

……

But he said, Li Canghai came to Dali Temple.

The officials of Dali Temple had been waiting for a long time. Under Zhou Feiyan's recommendation, after meeting everyone one by one, Li Canghai went directly to the back hall and found Wang Bao's mother, Wang Zhang.

At this time, Wang Zhang's health has recovered a lot. When he saw Li Canghai, he knelt down and saluted him.

Li Canghai helped Mrs. Wang and Zhang up, ordered someone to bring some refreshments, sat on a chair, and said straight to the point: "Old man, I already understand what happened in your home. However, I still have a few questions to ask." to ask you."

Mrs. Wang and Zhang nodded with tears in their eyes: "Your Excellency asks, women dare not hide anything."

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea, Li Canghai asked, "I want to ask you, how is your daughter-in-law Ma Rong?"

Mrs. Wang Zhang wiped her tears and cried tremblingly: "My daughter-in-law is young and beautiful, and she once bought silks and satins for women...The women always thought she was a virtuous and virtuous woman. No matter what, the women can't believe that my daughter-in-law, whom I have always loved, is actually a promiscuous slut..."

"Wang Bao often goes out on business, and you haven't noticed that Ma Rong hooked up with Song Yan?" Li Canghai asked with a frown.

"My lord doesn't know that women live in the countryside... Ever since my son got married to Ma Rong, women have rarely seen her. Every time you want to visit my son, you must write a letter in advance and let her agree. Only after that can I come here, so the woman does not know what she has done. If the folks who do business in Chang'an go back and tell the woman what happened to my son, I am afraid that the woman will never see my son again... . " Said, Wang Zhang cried again.

Li Canghai comforted Wang and Zhang, and then asked: "Then do you know how much Wang Bao's family property is?"

Mrs. Wang Zhang shook her head and sobbed: "The woman has always lived in the country, and she doesn't know how much my son's family property is. The woman only remembers that my son has three shops. His daughter Ying'er came to Chang'an to help him take care of it. But not long after, Ying'er stumbled and fell off a cliff... Woohoo, my poor daughter!"

"Stumbled and fell off the cliff? When did this happen?" Li Canghai asked in a deep voice while holding a teacup.

"Three years ago." Wang Zhang choked up.

"Do you know why?" Li Canghai continued to ask.

Mrs. Wang Zhang shook her head and said sadly: "The women don't know what's going on, but I just heard from my son that the reason given by the government is that the carriage lost control and rushed down the cliff."

Li Canghai sighed secretly. He originally wanted to continue asking, but he thought that a white-haired person sending a black-haired person is already a tragedy in the world. If he mentioned it again at this time, it would only aggravate the pain in Wang Zhang's heart, so he changed the question.

"People cannot be resurrected after death, so don't be too sad for the elderly. There is another question, where is Wang Bao now?"

"Thank you for thinking about the women." Mrs. Wang and Zhang wiped away her dirty tears and said, "My son is penniless and has both legs broken. Now he is in a ruined temple outside Pingkang Square."

Li Canghai stood up and said to Wang Zhang, "Old man, you can rest here for now. This officer will definitely give you justice in this matter."
