Historical Biography+Suspense Reasoning
In the thirty-fifth year of Qin Shihuang's reign, the book burning order was issued. I am a small official who fights for food, with a salary of three hundred dan, but I want to leave a way for the people to survive under this cannibalistic Qin law.
Autumn, the thirty-fifth year of Qin Shihuang.
The Yangcheng County warden's morning drum beat three times, Li Mo clutched his official badge and stepped into the county gate.
His first case today was that the cattle belonging to Liu Laosan's family were stolen.
Everyone said it was the cattle dealer Zheng Tu who did it. The evidence was conclusive and all it took was a signature to close the case.
Zhou Shifu had already handed the love letter to him: "Xiao Li, sign it. The county captain is waiting there."
Li Mo did not take over the writing.
He stared at the record of the cow's hoofprints in the love book and suddenly raised his head: "Chief, there is something wrong with the cow's hoofprints."
Zhou Shifu's face sank: "What's the problem?"
"Look," Li Mo pointed to the words on the slip, "it is written in the love letter that the time of stealing the cattle is Zi Shi, and the hoof prints are to the west. But Zheng Tu's house is in the east, and the month of Zi Shi is in the west. If the cow walked west, its shadow should be in the east, but there is no trace of the cow's shadow next to the hoof prints at the scene."
"What does this mean?"
"Explain," Li Mo's voice was very soft but his words were clear, "Zi Shi did not steal this cow at all. Someone is lying."
Zhou Shifu's face turned pale instantly.
But Li Mo didn't know that this was just his first step into the whirlpool.
Little did he know that seven years later, he would stand on the ruins of Xianyang, watching the fire that burned for three months, and personally pass on Qin Lu's fire.
——The law of Qin is silent, but it is more important than Mount Tai.
