Li Le simply pulled the rope and pulled the boatman standing next to Gao Mingli over.
The bailiff thought Li Le was just joking, but when he suddenly saw someone tied up, he was surprised for a moment, and then he looked at the tied person carefully.
The bailiff looked very familiar with his appearance. He was the boatman who had been ferrying people across the ferry. His name was Gao Dazhuang.
I don’t know what I did wrong to be caught by the Immortal Li. As soon as this thought came to my mind, the bailiff suddenly felt that something was wrong.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Lezhi suspiciously, and asked, "Immortal Li, the wind was strong just now, I didn't hear what you said clearly, can you say it again?"
He must have heard it right just now. Immortal Li actually said that Gao Dazhuang had killed someone. That was impossible.
He had also heard about Gao Dazhuang's story. He is now living a rather poor life and has done things that are despicable to others, but he used to be a person who would help others whenever he could, and would even ferry elderly people across the river for free.
How could such a person have a murder case on his hands?
No family came to report the case. Could it be that Li Shenxian made a mistake? The bailiff looked at Li Lezhi suspiciously.
The yamen runner also knew that Immortal Li had never made a mistake, so he did not ask the question in his heart, but just said to Li Le: "Immortal Li, please wait a moment, I will report to the master."
After the bailiff had finished speaking, he held his sword, turned around and trotted back into the yamen, in a hurry to complete the matter.
Magistrate Hu was holding a cup of boiling hot tea. He was blowing on it and preparing to take a sip when he heard the yamen runner ask Li Le what he was talking about.
Taoist Priest Li tied up Gao Dazhuang and took him to Gao Dazhuang's hand because there was a murder case.

Magistrate Hu simply couldn't believe that a murder case had occurred within his jurisdiction, and the case involved a boatman who looked very honest.
When he came to Da'an County to take up his post, he met Gao Dazhuang at the ferry. He was a relatively enthusiastic young man.
At that time, when County Magistrate Hu saw this scene, he felt deeply that the people of Da'an County were simple and honest. However, it was such a person, when he heard his name again many years later, he actually said that he was a murderer.
Magistrate Hu twirled his beard, but ultimately did not say anything impossible. The people he had met and the things he had experienced were no longer comparable to what he had experienced when he first took office.
Even if it is impossible, there is still a one in ten thousand chance that it is true.
After Magistrate Hu tidied up his clothes, he put on the black gauze hat that was placed beside him, and put it on neatly. The corners of his smiling mouth instantly pulled down, and his face became serious.
"Go to court," he flicked his sleeves, walked behind him, and sat under the plaque with a bright mirror hanging high.
"Bring in the plaintiff and the defendant."
At the command, the bailiff immediately went out to invite Li Lezhi and told him that the master had taken over the case, and asked Immortal Li if he was sure about it.
Li Le had no expression, no nod, and no reply. He didn't know whether his calculation was correct, but no matter whether it was true or not, he would not let the suspect go.
According to the law, there is no guilt until proven guilty. If there is no evidence or the evidence is insufficient, no one will be held accountable.
But Li Lezhi didn't want to give the boatman the benefit of the doubt and didn't want to let him off easily, perhaps because of the child who was sold, or perhaps because of the person who was killed by the boatman.
Li Le had no choice but to pretend he didn't know. If it was true, it would be a good thing to punish the murderer.
If it is not true, he will pay the price for it.
Li Le only untied the boatman. Since they had already arrived in front of the yamen, there was no need to tie him up for fear that he would escape.
The boatman rubbed his arm. He didn't dare to act rashly in front of the yamen runners, but he didn't want to face the county magistrate either. He raised the corners of his mouth stiffly and said flatteringly: "Sir, you know me, I am an honest man, how could I kill someone, this is..."
He paused, then continued: "This is all a misunderstanding."
He didn't dare to say in front of the two people that they were slandering him.
The boatman rubbed his hands and waited quietly for the yamen runner's reply.
The bailiff glanced at him and said, "Your Excellency has already accepted the case. You can't just say it's a misunderstanding and let it go. Everything has to wait for Your Excellency's decision. As for whether you have committed a murder, we will know after our investigation."
"You will not be wrongly accused in court."
After the bailiff had finished speaking, he gestured to the two men and invited them to come in.
Li Le stepped into the yamen only once again. Last time he was the defendant, and this time he became the plaintiff.
"Sir," Li Le just bowed and stood there. He was still not used to kneeling down all the time.
Fortunately, he was a capable man, and County Magistrate Hu would naturally not offend him over such a small matter, so he acquiesced and allowed Li Le to just stand there and answer.
"Plaintiff Li Lezhi, do you have evidence to prove that defendant Gao Dazhuang committed murder? You must not slander others at will in court. If you do not have evidence and easily say that someone committed murder, you must be punished with thirty strokes of the cane in court to serve as a warning to others."
"Don't file lawsuits at will," Magistrate Hu took a sip of tea to moisten his throat. He didn't want to blame Taoist Li for this, but rules are rules and they won't change because of one person.
If we let Taoist Priest Li off today, anyone will dare to slander others in the future. Everything will be in chaos. Where is the system?
Gao Dazhuang cried out, "Sir, please help me. I originally wanted to ask this Taoist priest about what happened a year ago, but he actually asked his apprentice to beat me up and even accused me of murder. Please help me."
Gao Dazhuang raised his face so that everyone present could see the injuries on his face, and then cried, "Sir, a year ago, this Taoist priest said that my forehead was black and I would have a bloody disaster. It happened that I met this Taoist priest today and asked him about it. Then, this Taoist priest instigated his disciple to beat me."
"Sir, please help me," Gao Dazhuang cried in a low voice.
Those who hear it are sad and those who listen to it cry.
According to his description, a Taoist priest and his disciples bullied him. The onlookers thought it was a big case, but they didn't expect it to be this kind of thing.
"He dared to beat people in broad daylight. He really doesn't take the law seriously. He even dared to drag Gao Dazhuang to the government office. The world is really going downhill and people's hearts are not as good as they used to be. I almost got fooled by this guy."
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that the person next to him was looking at him with something strange in his eyes, and he looked back in confusion.
Someone asked, "Don't you know who that Taoist priest is?"
"Should I know?" the man wondered.
Seeing that he was genuinely confused, the person who spoke kindly told him, "That man is Taoist Priest Li, also known as Li Banxian. Nothing he predicts is wrong."
"Ah? Then what's going on? You said he was a half-immortal, so why did he bring his apprentice to bully people? Look at how he beat him. Look at the wound on his face. He must have done it with a rude move." The man seemed to understand and exclaimed.
Then he said, "Just now Gao Dazhuang said that the Taoist priest told him that his forehead was black and he would have a bloody disaster. I don't think it was inaccurate, so the Taoist priest asked his disciple to take action to make the bloody disaster he predicted come true."
"Is such a person worthy of your calling him a half-god? He is a pure liar." It is not appropriate to call him a liar. He looks like a decent person, but he does nothing. ?
Don't just pretend to be a god in that appearance.
?The author Feng Chui Lin An reminds you that the most complete "I am Ordinary and Worshipped as a National Master" is available at the domain name [(.)]+?+??
The man thought he had seen through everything and was secretly pleased with himself. ?
The person next to him took a look at him and wanted to tell him about the greatness of Li Shenxian, but he didn't expect to hear words slandering Li Shenxian from his mouth. He immediately suppressed the words in his throat and pretended not to see this person.
No matter who you suspect, you must not suspect Immortal Li.
He was the one who witnessed the case of Liu Po and the midwife with his own eyes. If it weren't for the immortal Li's magical calculations, who would have known the relationship between Liu Po and the midwife.
If it weren't for the Immortal Li, the child from Grandma Liu's family would have taken over the magpie's nest.
It's better not to talk about this kind of thing with people who have no vision and no perspective.
Magistrate Hu had no expression on his face after listening to Gao Dazhuang's crying. This scene was so familiar. Not long ago, another plaintiff had cried in his ear and asked him to make the decision.
Everyone who comes before him will cry out that they are innocent, and their mouths are as hard as clam shells.
Magistrate Hu slammed the gavel and asked, "Is there any witness?"
Gao Dazhuang's crying expression froze and he looked up blankly, as if he didn't understand what Magistrate Hu meant. No, he was beaten. Did he still want to find witnesses to testify that he was beaten?
"Sir," Li Le said calmly, "There is no witness. This man was the one who ferried someone across the river. When the boat was in the middle of the river, he pushed the person into the river and killed him."
Many days have passed, and it is impossible to salvage a body from the river.
But when Li Le just said this, Gao Dazhuang was already frightened. He was panicked for a moment, but then he calmed down.
When he took action, the boat had already sailed into the middle of the river. No one around saw it, and no one would have seen it. He was not from Da'an County, and even if the body was really found, there would be no evidence to prove that he did it.
The river was turbulent, and it was impossible for anyone to find the body. Even the corpse lifters had no way to do it. Moreover, it would take three to five days, or even longer, to salvage the body. Before that, the Taoist would be beaten thirty times by the county magistrate because he had no evidence to slander him.
As long as he doesn't admit it, the Taoist will be the one who will be in trouble.
This is asking for trouble.
He had originally let them go, but they came up and wanted to hand him over to the county magistrate. Now there was no witness or evidence, he wanted to see how this Taoist priest would produce evidence for the county magistrate to convict him.
At this time, Gao Dazhuang had forgotten that the person in front of him was a fortune teller who could calculate everything. He even knew that he had killed someone, let alone the evidence he had hidden.
Perhaps Gao Dazhuang didn't believe it, and didn't want to believe it, that there really was someone in this world who could predict things to this extent.
If he was really a prophet, he should have met with bloody disaster long ago. Why did he have to wait until a year later when it was this Taoist priest's disciple who did it?
Gao Dazhuang thought that the injury he suffered now was just in line with that saying. Deep down, he did not take Li Le's fortune-telling ability seriously. How could a person who needed to do it himself to cause him to suffer a bloody disaster have any real ability?
After calming down, Gao Dazhuang did not panic and shouted, "Sir, please ask the neighbors to testify that I really did not kill anyone. This Taoist priest framed me."
"This Taoist priest is so clear that he even predicted that I would kill someone in the river. I am a coward and would never do such a thing."
"Maybe... maybe this Taoist priest is the murderer. He is framing me and wants me to take the blame for him," Gao Dazhuang reacted. He figured it out, it's fake, and he is the murderer.
