The Little Lucky Girl

Magistrate Tao sighed, "So we can't use the parrot's spiritual power trick too much, otherwise it will alert him and alert the enemy. Besides, ghosts and gods are too vague. If Qi Ming insists that he was frightened and talking nonsense, it is possible that he will want to change his statement. So I just need to use this to confuse his mind and the minds of his family."

Lu Tai suddenly remembered that Lord Tao was acting strangely today, and asked, "So you delayed the trial this morning on purpose?"

Magistrate Tao was very pleased with his sharpness and nodded, "Including the fact that I brought the prisoner from Pingyang to Yuqing for interrogation yesterday afternoon, and asked him questions about the same thing again and again in court, all in order to make the prisoner mentally exhausted and easily reveal flaws."

Ming Youyou suddenly realized, "This is the same as when you always try to trick me when I'm full and satisfied."

Magistrate Tao was embarrassed for a moment, and just as he was about to explain, she waved her hand generously, "It doesn't matter, Lord Tao is one of us, what he said is what he said, I won't mind it."

County Magistrate Tao glanced at Mr. Zong and swallowed back the words he had been saying, his face slightly red.

Zheng Huan and his friends were very happy to see Lord Tao suffer a setback, but when they thought about the future, they thought they should be kinder, so they changed the subject and said, "But you clearly have Doctor Zhao as a witness, and you can defeat the enemy with one move, so why do you have to go to such great lengths?"

"What if this witness doesn't actually exist?" Magistrate Tao asked with narrowed eyes.

Everyone in the study, including the teachers, was shocked. Feng Xu was so surprised that he stuttered, "Could it be that, that Doctor Zhao is a fake?"

Magistrate Tao sighed and said, "Doctor Zhao did go to the widow's hometown, but half a year ago he went to the mountains to collect herbs and accidentally fell off a cliff, becoming a fool. The widow's family was afraid of bringing disaster, so they burned all the account books and records he left behind. So I had to take a risky move and find someone who looked similar to me to trick them."

"No wonder Doctor Zhao didn't say a word." Zheng Huan and the others said excitedly, "So there is a plan within a plan. Can we write all of this into the book?"

Magistrate Tao was a little hesitant. There was really too little evidence in this case, so he had to resort to fraud. Some people might think that this was an unfair victory.

Instead, the elder said, "Write it. Tao was able to find the connection between the widow and Doctor Zhao in a very clever way. His ingenuity and patience have surpassed many people in the court. In addition, he used a strange strategy to throw the prisoner off balance. This can inspire those mediocre people to learn how to win by surprise."

Magistrate Tao did not expect that Elder Zong would give him such an evaluation. He bowed excitedly and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Elder. I am just showing off my skills in front of you. I am ashamed."

Elder Zong smiled and said to Zheng Huan and the others, "But you need to write two versions. One version should be based on the facts, with some exaggeration; the other version should only include the parts that everyone knows, to warn people that the law will catch them and they should not do evil."

Lu Tai was puzzled and said, "You always want to keep the first edition in the court so that officials can learn how to judge cases? But these are all in Lord Tao's memorial, and the court will select and print the good content. Isn't it enough for everyone to just learn from that?"

The elder of the clan snorted, "I don't understand these officials. After they have secured their positions, how many of them are willing to delve into government affairs? Besides, memorials are not as interesting as story books. Let's not talk about others, even your grandfather, go back and write a letter to him and ask him how many serious books he has on his desk?"

Lu Tai immediately shrank his neck and dared not speak.

Ming Youyou asked curiously, "Can we still get paid for writing books for the court?"

When the elder mentioned this, his face became pleasant, "Of course we can accept it. You guys write it well, and then let Xiao Pei write a preface for you, and we will sell it directly to the highest price."

He whispered a number into Ming Youyou's ear, and Ming Youyou's eyes immediately lit up and shook everyone, clapping her hands excitedly and saying, "Okay, okay, we'll split the money equally."

She looked at Principal Pei again and whispered to the elder, "How about we give some to Principal too?"

"No need," said the elder Qiankun, looking at the eldest disciple, "Do you have any objection?"

Principal Pei shook his head helplessly, "I dare not."

Zheng Huan and the others immediately winked at Ming Youyou. As the saying goes, a current official is not as good as a current manager. Principal Pei will be giving them a large class next semester. They have offended their teacher. Is it because they think there are not enough homework?

Ming Youyou also remembered this. While Magistrate Tao and Elder Zong were talking, she approached Principal Pei and said, "This book has been finalized. That's it. But don't worry, if you write a preface for the next book, we will definitely give you a share of the money."

Pei Shanchang thought that my articles must be worthless, and I have to write prefaces for every one of them. However, seeing the sincerity on the child's face, he could not say no, so he had to make a request: "It must be a book about criminal cases or something that can be studied. I don't care about books about gods and immortals."

"No problem," Ming Youyou nodded vigorously, "We'll just write about solving the case."

Principal Pei was amused. "It has to be a strange case like today's, with a special interrogation process to be interesting. Ordinary small cases are not worth watching."

"I understand. Just watch it." She quietly asked the system, "Can I still watch videos like "Bao Gong An" and "Di Gong An"? "

The system said, "Didn't you say before that you were scared and asked me to exchange them for videos of making pastries? Why aren't you scared now?"

Actually, she was still afraid. Ming Youyou had read a story called "The Story of the Black Basin" before. A person was murdered and burned in a black basin, and then turned into a ghost to seek justice from Bao Gong... She was so scared that she couldn't sleep all night. Now she still feels cold when she thinks about it. But she didn't expect that criminal cases were so profitable. She could just wear more clothes before reading it.

"Those videos were sold to you at a discount. Now you can only buy them back at full price, but it requires a lot of points." The system reminded.

Ming Youyou sighed and said, "Buy it." She really couldn't save her points.

When they came out of the study, it was already dark and they could not see the road ahead, so Mrs. Tao wanted to let them stay in the guest house.

Several people apologized and said, "We have agreed with Mr. Luo that we will go to his house to sleep at night and discuss some academic matters."

Mrs. Tao looked at the way they smacked their lips while talking and knew that they were not discussing academic matters but were clearly thinking about the mutton soup from Mrs. Zhang's house.

She looked at their stomachs. These kids had eaten a lot at night. How come they digested it all so quickly? The appetite of the young boys was really good. Young people were growing up, so being able to eat was a good thing. So she didn't stop them and asked someone to send them to Zhang's house.
