When Li Qingzhi arrived at Sister Wang's residence, he saw that Sister Wang's house was filled with all kinds of newly made items.
Gloves, sleeves, shoes... all kinds of small items made of fine fabrics were spread all over the floor, and Jin Xiaoye was packing and sorting them.
Seeing Li Qingzhi, Jin Xiaoye said, "Ah Qing, wait for me for a while."
"Okay." Li Qingzhi said.
At this time, Sister Wang asked Li Qingzhi: "Xiao Li, did you go to the county government office today?"
"I went." Li Qingzhi said.
"Did you see the county magistrate trying the case?" Sister Wang looked at Li Qingzhi expectantly, and the attention of others was also attracted.
Li Qingzhi said: "I was squeezed outside and didn't see it, but I know roughly... Xiaoye, the man who hit Xiaoshu was beaten with fifty boards."
Although Jin Xiaoshu was beaten that day, he was not injured and did not file a complaint.
It’s just that Jin Xiaoshu didn’t sue that person, but others did... The man who beat Jin Xiaoshu was helping Zhang Chouqian collect debts, and he and others had beaten an old man to death.
In fact, yesterday, County Magistrate Gou had already read all the petitions and decided on the verdict for today. At that time, Li Qingzhi also discussed the matter with him.
Ordinary people would not file a complaint if they were slightly beaten. Those who came to file a complaint had suffered great injustice, and therefore, the things written on the complaint were shocking.
Li Qingzhi had a very good memory. He could tell the name of every criminal, what crimes they had committed, and what sentences they were given in the end... Sister Wang and the others were extremely satisfied to hear what they heard.
After Li Qingzhi and Jin Xiaoye left, Sister Wang couldn't help but say, "Xiao Li knows so much!"
"Yes, Xiao Li knows everything!" said an old lady. She knew some of the people Li Qing was talking to, so she asked a few more questions. Now she knew a lot of things and planned to talk to them when she got back.
Madam Xu smiled when she heard this and suddenly said, "Xiao Li must know a lot. He knows the county magistrate."
"Xiao Li knows the county magistrate?" Sister Wang was extremely surprised. "I know that he was brought to court after his arm was broken by the young master of the Hong family, but how could he know the county magistrate?"
Madam Xu said, "Recently, restaurants and teahouses have been talking about the story of the county magistrate solving a case. You all know about it, right?"
Sister Wang said, "I know. I went to the teahouse this morning to listen."
There are several teahouses in Chongcheng County. These teahouses are basically open before dawn. The tea in the store costs one cent per pot. After buying a pot of tea, you can get unlimited hot water.
This is the favorite place for the elderly.
They spent a penny to buy a pot of tea in the teahouse, and then chatted from before dawn to mid-morning, a total of two hours.
Some elderly people who have extra money will buy other things to eat, such as tea eggs, melon seeds, boiled broad beans, etc.
Teahouses offer relatively few foods, but there are often breakfast shops near them. You can also ask the waiters at the breakfast shop to bring breakfast such as noodles and buns to the teahouse. After eating, you can return the bowl or wait for someone to collect the bowl.
Sitting in a teahouse, drinking a pot of tea, eating a bowl of hot noodles, and talking about how filial your children are in the envious eyes of people around you, this is the life that countless elderly people dream of.
