Chapter No.16 The first case

Everyone in the lobby outside, including Li Shimin, didn't know what Liu Sheng wanted to do. The only thing they could tell was that the other party wanted to be promoted immediately.

This operation really made them very puzzled.

Li Shimin was really worried that Liu Sheng would embarrass the royal family, but why wasn't he giving him a chance?

"My son-in-law, are you sure you want to be promoted now?"

"If it takes a while, if you don't give me a satisfactory answer, I will settle the old and new debts with you!"

Regarding Li Shimin's words, Liu Sheng looked serious, bowed and said:

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

But Liu Sheng turned a blind eye to other people's doubts.

Even the emperor gave me a chance, what does it have to do with you?
Especially Changsun Wuji, who just wanted to remind the other party not to be so arrogant, but was yelled at by Liu Sheng:
"In the courtroom, how can you make noise at will."

There was anger in Changsun Wuji's eyes, but he turned his head to look at Li Shimin who was sitting at the side of the lobby. After all, he retreated behind Li Shimin without saying anything.

Although Liu Sheng is going to be promoted, he doesn't look like he can decide the case.

He was yawning, his eyes were blurred, and he looked like he hadn't woken up.

How can this be reassuring?

Li Shimin sat safely on the side of the lobby, he had already explained to Liu Sheng that this was his last chance.

If the other party can't solve the problem in the county government today, even if Princess Changle begs him again, he will punish Liu Sheng.

Therefore, from now on, Li Shimin will sit by the side, quietly watching his "good son-in-law"'s success and failure, gains and losses.

After some preparations, the hall of the county government office began to ascend.

The Chang'an County Government Hall, which had been closed for more than half a month, began to handle cases. Naturally, there were many cases.

Wu Jin, the county magistrate, quickly found the file and put it on Liu Sheng's desk.

Familiar with the history of this case, naturally the first thing to read is this file.

At the same time, it also gives the county magistrate a basis for judgment, so that there will be no misjudgment.

Of course, except for some people who have received bribes or are extremely stupid. After all, they never read the files and only rely on the lobby to yell.

Liu Sheng looked at the file in his hand. The first case involved a pair of brothers. They argued endlessly for their father's inheritance.

They have not been able to reach a result, so they made a fuss in the county government a few days ago.

Liu Sheng nodded secretly. At any rate, he has seen so many strange cases in his later generations, and this is quite common.

He secretly thought, let's use this case as a breakthrough.

Then, he raised his head and told the guard:
"Bring these two brothers up!"

The guard saluted solemnly: "Yes, my lord!"

Then he went out with the killing stick, and soon brought two people with him.

The two people who came to the court had similar faces, and it was obvious that they were indeed two brothers.

Because the county government of Chang'an County has been closed for more than half a month, not only the two brothers were surprised, but many people in Chang'an County were also surprised.

They also want to see who this new official is.
At the same time, they also want to see if the new official is reliable in handling cases.

Ever since, a large group of common people gathered outside the county government office, and they all crowded at the door, watching the case.

"Tell me, what is the dispute between the two of you?"

Liu Sheng knocked on the board on the table and asked directly.

When the two brothers saw the person sitting above, they knew that this was the new county magistrate.

So, the eldest brother hurriedly complained:

"Master Guan, my grandpa just died not long ago and left these properties. Originally, these properties were divided equally between the two of us."

"But my younger brother didn't divide it fairly, so he just divided the big head away!"

Hearing this, the younger brother became angry and said:
"My lord, don't listen to my elder brother's nonsense. I obviously divided the property according to the estimated price, which is obviously fair!"

"It's my big brother who always feels that I'm sharing it unfairly. If I ask him to share it, I always feel that he shares more and gives me the lesser share!"

"You are the one who is unfair!"

"Nonsense, it's because Grandpa loved you more when he was around, so I asked you to study. Now that you have learned skills outside, you can use them on my elder brother. Why is this business so vicious!"

"Master Guan, please make the decision for me. It's my younger brother who divides the family property a lot. He always says that I share a lot!"

"You're talking nonsense, you're the one who got a lot of money, and now you're still saying I'm slandering you!" The younger brother was also very angry, pointing at his elder brother and shouting angrily.

After finishing speaking, he also bowed his hands to Liu Sheng:

"My lord, let the villain decide! Punish my greedy brother!"

Liu Sheng hadn't spoken yet, and the people watching outside were talking about it.

Watching the excitement is never a big deal, anyway, it's not their family's business.

Therefore, a group of common people have a good reason to speak clearly and logically, even if they don't know how the matter will be judged in the end.

"According to me, it is obvious that the boss is bullying the second child because he is young, so he wants more family property. The boss should be punished and the second child should be innocent!"

"Looking at this, the boss seems to be an honest man, but why did he do such a thing? This is your own younger brother, the boss should be punished!"

"Nonsense, it's obvious that the second child is studying outside and has learned some skills, so he bullies the simple and honest boss. The second child should be punished, and the boss should not be wronged in vain!"

"This second child is not a good person at first glance, he has a wicked face, and he even thinks about his family. It's really an embarrassment to scholars!"

"What are you talking about, the official will decide this matter, let's just watch it, don't make any noise."

"I think this matter is pending. The official looks like he's not very old, and he doesn't know how to do things. It seems that this case is the same as before, and nothing has been resolved."

"What are you talking nonsense, don't talk nonsense, be careful to be caught by the official and beat the board!"

Fortunately, they didn't know that the person in plain clothes sitting next to Datang was Li Shimin, otherwise, no one would have dared to speak out.

Li Shimin was able to see the most simple voice of the people clearly, so he turned his eyes to the confident Liu Sheng behind the desk in the lobby.

This is a very common case, and the difficulty of deciding the case does not lie in how to judge, but in how quickly he can give the best answer.

Li Shimin has so much experience, the daily battle of wits with ministers is much more complicated than this case.

So, he quickly came up with a solution, but he didn't say it.

He just wanted to see how his "good son-in-law" would resolve the case.

This can also be regarded as Li Shimin's investigation of Liu Sheng, observing from the subtleties whether Liu Sheng is pretending to be confident, or has a solution.
