The woman took a look at Li Le and wished she could eat his flesh and blood. She had been looking forward to having a grandson for a long time and had provided her daughter-in-law with good food and drink just for the gold nugget in her belly.
She heard that there was a Taoist named Li who had great fortune-telling skills and could calculate everything in the world, so she did not hesitate to spend a tael of silver to ask the Taoist for help.
Who could have thought that this man was actually a liar. Not only did she lose her grandson, but she also wasted several taels of silver.
She won't let this liar go!
The woman glared at Li Lezhi fiercely, her eyes like a devil.
The daughter-in-law kneeling beside her held the baby tightly in her arms, her eyes numb and her hands patting the swaddling cloth.
"Master, how should we deal with this according to the law?" the county magistrate in the hall glanced at the master sitting below.
The lawyer paused holding the pen, looked at the county magistrate, and said, "According to Daliang law, anyone who cheats money will be imprisoned for three days and must return the money."
"In that case, Taoist Li, have you deceived this woman?" the county magistrate rubbed his beard at the corners of his mouth and smiled like a fox.
What else could Li Le say.
If he admitted that he was a liar, he would go to jail and pay a fine. So he said, "I didn't lie to her."
"You are a heartless liar. You look handsome, but you are actually a black-hearted person. You even swindle people like us who work in the fields and don't make much money a year. Please be clear, my Lord. After this liar came to my Liujia Village, many people heard him say that my daughter-in-law is a boy and can't be fake." www.jiangnanxs.com Jiangnan Literature Network
"I didn't lie to you," Li Le remained calm. Of course he didn't lie to the woman. The one who spoke before was the original body, and it had nothing to do with him, Li Le.
"You didn't lie to me, you didn't lie to me. Where did my good grandson go? You liar, you want my Liu family to have no descendants—"
The woman covered her face and wept.
The onlookers were talking in twos and threes in low voices, and Master Gao and Master Gu looked at each other in the crowd.
Both of them could see what was in each other's eyes.
Under the cover of other people's voices, the two talked quietly. Master Gu asked: "Do you think Taoist Li is a liar?"
Whether it is a boy or a girl, Taoist Li is really a fortune teller, he shouldn’t be wrong.
A trace of doubt arose in Mr. Gu's heart.
As if he knew what Master Gu was thinking, Master Gao looked over with disdain, smiled mockingly, and spoke in a sarcastic tone, "Why, do you also think that Immortal Li is a liar?"
"No," Mr. Gu retorted immediately. He would not admit that he had some suspicions in his heart just now, but it would not be good for him to talk about this matter openly.
"That's good," Master Gao chuckled twice, and then under Master Gu's unhappy eyes, he lowered his voice and said, "How did you make your business? You don't even understand this."
Master Gu secretly pricked up his ears.
Master Gao said angrily, "Immortal Li has said twice that he is not lying. Don't you understand? Immortal Li means that everything he said is true, without a single mistake."
"Then?" Mr. Gu hesitated for a moment.
Mr. Gao glanced at him with naked disdain in his eyes.
"Since Immortal Li said it's a boy, there can't be any mistake."
Only the family knows why the baby was born a girl.
Looking at the old lady's appearance, she doesn't look like someone who would lose her grandson.
Is there any other change here?
"this?,
Since you all have your own opinions?
Things are easy to handle, right?
My wife is about to give birth recently??[(.)]??*?*???,
"Master Li, do you dare to do the math?" the county magistrate said with a smile.
This is also one of the reasons why he took on this case and sent someone to ask Li Lezhi to come down the mountain.
One is that people are curious whether Li Lezhi is a man of real ability as rumored, or a charlatan who is engaged in deception and fraud.
Second, his wife's belly is bigger than that of an average person, and he also wants to know whether the baby in his wife's belly is a boy or a girl.
Third, after hearing that Li Le was only related to the Zhou family's affairs, the county magistrate also wanted to understand how these two people who had nothing in common could get together.
Li Le didn't know what the county magistrate was thinking, and he didn't want to find out. He frowned slightly, his eyes were cold, and he glanced at the woman kneeling on the ground.
The woman was stealing glances at him, and when she met his gaze, she immediately lowered her head, raised her hands to cover her face and pretended to cry.
I was thinking, how could this person become so scary after not seeing him for a few months?
The woman began to feel uneasy, always feeling that things were beyond her control.
Li Le just retracted his gaze and said calmly: "His family did give birth to a boy. Why the child is a girl, only they themselves know in their hearts."
As soon as these words came out, the woman's heart started beating fast and her expression became obviously panicked.
The woman holding the child also raised her head and looked at Li Lezhi in a daze. She seemed to remember something and immediately came to her senses. She lowered her head and looked at the ground, gently patting the shroud with her hands, which was much slower than before.
The woman hid the panic in her eyes and cried loudly, "I won't live anymore. Things have come to this point, and you still say that my daughter-in-law is the one who ruined the boy."
"You money-stealing liar, I'm going to beat you to death," the woman suddenly rushed towards Li Lezhi, raising her clenched fist high, and was about to hit Li Lezhi.
Li Lezhi still stood there as steady as a rock, his hands hidden in his sleeves, clenched tightly.
Before the hand touched Li Lezhi, it was stopped by the bailiff.
The county magistrate also slammed the gavel and said, "Silence, do not disturb the court."
"Bring up the witness."
After a while, four people walked out of the crowd. They were all from Liujia Village, and they were the ones who had seen and heard Taoist Li's comments with their own eyes.
If four people kneel down and give birth, it will be a boy. "
"Yeah yeah."
“…”
With the witness to prove that Taoist Li did say this, the county magistrate looked at Li Le and asked, "Master Li, do you have anything else to say?"
Li Le just remained silent.
He glanced at the four people, then looked at the county magistrate, and finally said, "I can tell your wife's fortune."
Trying to prove that you are not a liar is as difficult as proving that you are a good person.
People should never get caught up in self-verification.
Li Le understood this principle very well. Since he couldn't avoid the matter, he would find another way.
This touched the heart of the county magistrate, so he naturally agreed. He smiled and said, "In that case, Taoist Li, please calculate for my wife. The answer will be clear in three days."
"Sir," the woman shouted something in shock, and then she saw the county magistrate looking at her with a frown, which frightened her so much that she could not say a word.
hateful!
How could she find trouble for this liar after today?
Li Le just glanced at the child in the package several times.
A family that has been looking forward to the birth of a grandchild actually has a granddaughter who is not of their own blood.
There is something fishy here.
I don't know who this ghost is. Is it the woman, her daughter-in-law, or the man hiding behind the two of them?
Li Le just said coldly: "There is a god above us. If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself."
When he said this, the people in the court had not yet reacted, but the people outside the court who were listening to the case were suddenly in an uproar.
"What does this mean, Immortal Li?"
"Does this mean there is something fishy going on in this matter? This family is not good people?"
