Although there are physical and personal evidence, the cunning old fox refused to admit that he had sold the water saplings to a man surnamed Zhang.

"Bold! Don't hesitate to confess! There are all witnesses and evidence, and you still dare to quibble!" The newly appointed official was very angry when he met such a stubborn person for the first time.

"My lord, the grass people just saved some water saplings and didn't plant them. Why should you be angry?" Village Chief Li's mouth was swollen a lot.

Seeing that someone refused to admit it, the official was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

Village head Li, who was tied up, was disheveled, spat out the blood in his mouth, and looked at Mo Jingcheng outside the court defiantly, secretly thinking of the worst plan.

If he wanted to convict him at that time, he could definitely say that those hundreds of water saplings were going to be sold in the coastal areas, and planting water saplings there would not violate the official law at all.

As for why he sold it to Mo Jingcheng, he could lie that he just met a customer and thought Mo Jingcheng was a villager from the coast.

Furthermore, although Mo Jingcheng provided testimony, so what?A person can talk nonsense at any time, so how can they believe that Mo Jingcheng is telling the truth?

As long as he insists on this, and they don't know that he sold the water sapling to Xinghua Village, the official will not be able to do anything with him.

He used the water tree business as a tool to make money. Once he decided to do this business, he decided that he would have to worry about it for the rest of his life and had to prepare as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, when he put his eyes on Mo Jingcheng, the other party smiled leisurely, his eyes filled with frost were very dark.

Village head Li was taken aback for a moment, and his whole body trembled when he was stared at by those sharp wolf-like eyes.Immediately afterwards, he saw Mo Jingcheng take out a dark blue account book from the side of his clothes.

After seeing what it was, Village Chief Li's face suddenly turned ashen, and his bloodshot eyes widened in disbelief, "How is that possible! I obviously took it out and hid it in the cellar!"

After showing the account book to Mo Jingcheng that day, he was always worried that Mo Jingcheng would remember the location, so he secretly turned back and took out the account book and hid it in the cellar in his yard.

As soon as the words finished, Mo Jingcheng laughed coldly, stepped forward and threw the account book on him.

The page of the account book fell to the ground and opened continuously, stopping at the page that recorded the transaction with the man surnamed Zhang.

Village Chief Li looked down, his expression changed drastically, and he realized what he had just said just now, and even knelt on the ground as if he had lost his soul.

The opened page did not bear any handprints.Obviously, this is a fake ledger.

The officials who succeeded in the design immediately called the officials and ordered them to search the cellar in Village Chief Li's yard. Sure enough, they found an account book full of transaction information in the pickle jar.

Not only the account books, but also all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry were found in the cellar, which were obviously stolen goods.It is impossible for these gold and silver jewels to appear in the remote Peach Blossom Village.

After realizing that he had cut off the last escape route with his own hands, Village Chief Li collapsed on the ground and completely resigned himself to his fate, "I say, I say everything"

Under the account of Village Chief Li, everyone understood the whole story.

This old fox was originally the head of other coastal villages, but because he committed a crime in the village, he ran to Peach Blossom Village to become the head of the village by virtue of his relationship.But the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change. This village chief Li has been in peace for a few years, and his skin is itchy again.

The location of Peach Blossom Village is remote, and it rarely communicates with the outside world, and there is little millet handed over to the top. After going down one by one, there is basically little oil and water left in his hands.

The money-greedy old fox couldn't get used to living in dilapidated houses, so he thought about how to make a fortune. One day, he happened to see a wild water tree by the side of the road, and he had a crooked idea.He was originally in Haiyan Village, where water trees were not uncommon.

If Taohua Village fell into a famine, the relief from above would increase, and the oil and water he could extract from it would be several times higher than before.

So he quietly transported water saplings from the original coastal village and planted them in every corner of Taohua Village.Because the villagers in Taohua Village have never seen a water tree, they don't recognize it at all.

It's just that after planting more, occasionally passers-by pass by, and the water tree will still be recognized.But unexpectedly, the people who passed by had the same heart as him, and they were also people who wanted to use the tree for personal gain.

As a result, his reputation for selling water saplings quietly spread to several villages hundreds of miles away, and the price of the water saplings he sold was even higher.

This also made his greed and mind more cautious, so he knew that if the water tree was planted here privately, it would be a violation of the law.

As for the man surnamed Zhang in Xinghua Village, he didn't know much about it, but this man was generous and willing to pay extra money for him to help plant trees in Xinghua Village, so he agreed.

All the crimes of the old fox were recorded by the master book, and he was temporarily imprisoned.And the official has ordered people to bring the man surnamed Zhang to justice.

Everything is still to be determined, and Mo Jingcheng can't help but intervene in the next thing.

Mo Jingcheng, who was a little tired after walking out of the courtroom, met his husband's gaze, immediately changed into a warm smile, and walked towards Fang Yun at a faster pace.

Ah Jin, who watched the whole process from the side, was very excited, wishing to beat up the sinister old fox, but at the same time he was a little curious.

"Shopkeeper Mo, the account books were not found in that place. How do you know that this old fox hid the account books instead of destroying them? Doesn't he know that if the account books are found, his life will be lost?"

These Fang Yuns were also a little curious, so they blinked and looked at Mo Jingcheng.

Mo Jingcheng, who didn't want to answer at first, met Fu Lang's eyes, pinched his nose helplessly, and sighed for them to analyze.

"When the old fox looked through the account book, I accidentally saw the amount of stolen goods on it, so I guessed that this account book is very important to him, and it is used to count property."

"If he put such an important account book in front of me in a moment of excitement, he would definitely feel uneasy and take it away later, so I recorded the appearance of the account book in my heart."

Only then did Fang Yun suddenly realize, "Brother Mo, that's why you asked Ah Jin to look for such an account book yesterday?"

Mo Jingcheng smiled indulgently, "Exactly. Just use this to bluff him, and with his uneasy temperament of doing too many bad things, he will be able to shake it out with a single confirmation."

After listening to everything, Fang Yun's star eyes lit up, and he boasted: "My husband is really amazing!"

Mo Jingcheng smiled lightly.

In fact, just by looking at it, the intellectual brain can immediately write down the appearance of the account book. Moreover, the appearance of the account book can be seen everywhere, and it does not take time to find it, it just needs more attention.

Naturally, these cannot be told to Fulang.

"Just" Fang Yun murmured softly, "What will Big Brother Zhang do?"

The man surnamed Zhang often helps the villagers. If there is anyone who needs his help, even if it is something that may cost his life, he will definitely show up in time.

Since Fang Yun came to Xinghua Village, the man surnamed Zhang would often help him get rid of the grass in the field or drive away the big insects coming down from the mountain, so Fang Yun would call him "Brother Zhang" when he met him.

Everyone in the village said that he was a good man, a smart scholar and kind-hearted.

It's just that I never thought that such a good person would do such a thing.

Mo Jingcheng didn't answer, but just hugged Fang Yun's arm tightly.

When all the evidence was presented in front of the man surnamed Zhang, the man surnamed Zhang admitted his crime indifferently without even a single sophistry.In the abandoned woodshed of his house, the remaining water saplings were also found.

The aunt who adopted him couldn't bear such a blow, and immediately passed out. After the doctor's rescue, she woke up dizzy.

The wife didn't know about this matter, she was already crazy, and now she was making a fuss outside, she couldn't believe that her gentle husband would do such a thing.

The people from Xinghua Village who were watching outside the court shook their heads and left with some disappointment, but most of them scolded him directly outside, saying that he is a hypocrite with a brutal face.

"Before I thought he had a very good heart, but I didn't expect it to be the mind of a beast!"

"That's right, this is a person who has passed the examination of scholar, no wonder he has been unable to pass the examination later! It turns out that there is such bad water in his stomach!"

"Don't tell me, I asked him to help me repair the hall earlier, you said he won't take revenge on me in the future?"

"Oh, what are you worried about! Sooner or later he will be captured by the official, and he probably won't be able to get out for the rest of his life!"

The village chief couldn't listen, and yelled at them with a dark face. The voices of complaints gradually faded away, but some people still muttered in dissatisfaction.

As if he had expected this ending, the man surnamed Zhang just stared at the floor of the courtroom, his eyes gloomy and he didn't say a word.

If you look carefully, this man with the surname Zhang can be regarded as handsome, perhaps because he has read a lot of sage books, and his temperament is completely different from that of rural people.

No matter how many sage books there are to read, it can't conceal that this is a sinner who violated the official law and almost killed the whole village.

The man surnamed Zhang listened to the scolding just now. After a long time, he sneered and raised his head slowly. Even though he was kneeling on the ground as a criminal, his back was still straight.

But perhaps because of working all the year round, his figure is not as weak as ordinary scholars, but rather burly.

Those gloomy eyes were full of resentment, completely lacking the indifference and peace just now.

He knelt and turned to the outer hall, and glanced at the crowd watching the theater, with resentment in his eyes.

On weekdays, the man surnamed Zhang always cowardly and silent when being teased, but being looked at like this today, all the villagers shrank, not even daring to speak out.

Even the village head felt that the man in front of him was very strange.

When did a man who was always gentle and gentle start to become like this?No one can understand.

"Is there bad water in my stomach?" He said coldly, his eyes were full of scarlet, "Why didn't you say that I was going to kill you when you grabbed my food?"

All the onlookers in the village had a meal.

"When you robbed me of my childhood, humiliated my wife, and occupied my fields, why didn't you say that you have a human face and a beast's heart! I just didn't pass the exam, so why should I be called a waste material by you, why should I be inferior to others, Why should the whole family be ordered by you!"

"Didn't you say that I am worse than a dog?" The gloomy voice echoed in the courtroom, "Then I will let you taste what it is like to beg for mercy from others like a dog."

"Now the fields in Xinghua Village have died of drought, I want you to watch yourself lie on the ground and wag your tail at others disgustingly!"

Immediately, the man surnamed Zhang laughed wildly, as if he wanted to laugh out all the grievances of his life.

"Boy Zhang" the village head who had been watching him growing up looked at him in disbelief, and was dizzy with anger in front of his eyes.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the man surnamed Zhang slowly putting away his smile, his eyes glowing dimly, like a terrifying beast.

"And you, what kind of kind person do you think you are? Do you think you are good to me if you care about me?" The man surnamed Zhang said with a hoarse voice.

"You do not deserve."
