Chapter 133 Ancient Version Plagiarism
The white deed for buying land became a red deed after being registered and stamped by the government office.
Old Mrs. Lin lost five taels of silver, and the eldest and second sons only got a piece of inferior land.
He was so angry that he didn't go out of the house for the past few days, and sat at the door every day cursing the world.
Old man Lin had no choice but to go to the fields rather than stay in the house.
I just happened to have an acre of low-quality land, so I plowed the soil a bit more to bury the weeds, then sprinkled some wood ash on the land to nourish it.
Lin Dajiang suddenly got six acres of land and felt that his family was short of manpower.
The five acres of top-quality farmland were close to the river bend and easily irrigated, so on the day the red deed was exchanged, Lin Dajiang took Lin Jingzhe to plow the land.
But the land had been abandoned for a long time, and it took several days just to weed the land, not to mention turning the land over.
This was the time when strength lies in numbers. Li Shan, along with his three younger brothers and four older sons, a total of eight people, worked together and cleared the weeds in two afternoons. They then spent another four or five afternoons turning over the land.
After that, the fields are irrigated.
After two days, drain the water and start plowing the land.
Plowing the land is a physical job. Lin Xiaoman once again lamented that her family's land was all thanks to her uncle's family, which had little land but many men.
Otherwise, I really wouldn’t be able to take care of the five acres of paddy fields.
Not only the Lin family is busy, but every household in Jialin County is busy with farming.
The most leisurely time in Shanglin Village is the time for spring ploughing and summer harvest and late rice planting. Every household is so busy that they have no time to cause trouble.
The mother-in-law no longer bullies her daughter-in-law, the neighbors on the east side no longer quarrel with the neighbors on the west side, and even the most mischievous child in the village is taken to help in the fields.
"Uncle, uncle, I've brought you some ice cream!"
Lin Xiaoman brought her two children with her, carrying a bucket of osmanthus-flavored iced dessert, which she had specially chilled with ice cubes.
“Ice-cold frozen food is so delicious that I never get tired of it!”
My second uncle Li Qiao gobbled down half a bowl of soup in one gulp and felt instantly cooled down.
Then just sip it and taste it.
"Uncle, there's mint juice in the ice cream, so it'll make you feel cool all over."
Now that Lin Xiaoman doesn't need to go to the breakfast shop, she prepares the frozen breakfast at home in advance.
Several uncles and cousins came to help in the fields, and her parents and brother were busy working in the fields, so she packed lunch and dinner.
She was also responsible for delivering ice-cold products to the fields in the afternoon.
During the rice planting season, Xiaoman, with her two children, became the only girl in Shanglin Village who did not have to go to the fields to plant rice.
While others were planting rice, she was reading the stories received by the Jixiang Bookstore in Lin'an Prefecture.
It’s not enough to collect stories, you also have to write them.
The owner of the bookstore in Lin'an Prefecture said that the students were clamoring to see Lord Mo's case-solving notes.
Did Lord Mo get promoted?
Is Lord Mo still solving cases?
The students who did not receive a response surrounded the Jixiang Bookstore and prevented the owner from returning home. They threatened that the owner should take a letter to Liang Mancang, telling Liang Mancang to write the rest of the story as soon as possible.
Lin Xiaoman didn't expect that ancient scholars also liked suspenseful crime novels. This was simple. Any suspense novel he had read before could fool ancient people.
The second part is called "The Dali Temple Judge's Case-Solving Notes", with the word "short" removed.
Lord Mo was promoted to the position of Chief Justice of Dali Temple. The first case he encountered involved a serial murder case eight years ago.
An unidentified female corpse was found in a dry well outside Beijing. The words "Tian Dao" were written on both sides of her cheeks. Because the body was found early, the characters were almost not destroyed.
There was a deep mark on the neck of the unknown female corpse, her tongue was cut, the nails of her hands and feet were pulled out, and her finger and toe bones were broken.
According to the coroner's autopsy, the deceased was tortured to death.
When Lord Mo saw the word "Heaven's Way", he was reminded of the serial murder case that had caused panic among the people of the capital eight years ago when he had just entered the officialdom.
Over a period of six months, six young women disappeared in Beijing.
Among the six missing people, there was no similarity between them except that they were all newlyweds who had just been married for less than three months.
After investigating the relationships between the characters, it was discovered that the six missing people did not know each other.
At that time, Lord Mo was still on duty in the Hanlin Academy. The little Hanlin didn’t know much about the case. He only knew that the murderer was caught, and since then, no female corpse with the words "Heavenly Way" engraved on it has appeared again.
The files that had been sealed for eight years were called up by Lord Mo to read...
The fog rolled in again, and before Lord Mo could catch the real culprit, a female corpse with the word "Heavenly Way" engraved on it appeared in the suburbs of Beijing.
The corpse this time was even more horrific, with its tongue cut off, its fingernails and toenails plucked out, its fingers and toes broken, and its bones broken by sharp weapons. There was no intact skin on the corpse, as if it had been whipped after death.
The murderer is absolutely heartless!
The entire Dali Temple was provoked by the murderer, as if it was being roasted directly on the fire.
The people in the capital were in a panic, and at dusk, wives and daughters stayed indoors.
Lord Mo looked through the files again and asked someone to carefully record the details of the six cases. He and a group of officials from the Dali Temple unraveled the cases and looked for the key to solving them.
finally--
He discovered that the strokes of the last female corpse's face eight years ago were slightly different from those of the previous five.
"Sir, could it be a mistake by the artist?"
"Whether it is a typo or not, we will know after checking."
......
After a few months, Xie Ci'an and Lin Jingzhe were no longer surprised by Lin Xiaoman's scribbled handwriting.
Lin Jingzhe said that his handwriting looked like dog crawling and Xiaoman's handwriting looked like talismans, both were equally ugly. Anyway, no one should laugh at anyone else.
So in order to save ink and paper, Lin Xiaoman tried to write as small as possible.
It took three or four days to write "The Dali Temple Judge's Case-Solving Notes" to cover only two cases.
Lin Xiaoman, who knew all kinds of methods of solving cases, began to be at a loss for words. After all, high-tech methods of solving cases were not applicable here, and she had to rack her brains to come up with methods of solving cases that were consistent with the dynasty.
Even ten more brains wouldn't be enough.
However, Xie Ci'an, who had read several detective stories about the Dali Temple and coroners, developed a strong interest in this type of story and wrote an article called "The Wandering Little Coroner."
Qi Hao, an orphan, had no parents since childhood and had to compete with beggars for food every day. During the years of disasters and people's livelihood was in dire straits, an old coroner from the county government adopted him.
Over the years, Qi Hao learned the skills of autopsy from the old coroner and could look at a corpse without batting an eyelid while holding a sharp knife.
It’s a pity that the old coroner was old and sick, and passed away when Qi Hao was able to hold up the sky.
After burying the old coroner, Qi Hao set foot on Kyushu, sleeping in the open air and wandering aimlessly. The only thing he remembered was that he wanted to fulfill the old coroner's wish - to travel around Kyushu.
The strange thing is that murders always happen wherever Qi Hao appears. The story revolves around Qi Hao's transformation from a wandering coroner who is sneered by everyone to a legendary coroner.
When Lin Xiaoman read it for the first time, he exclaimed, “Isn’t this just the ancient version of Detective Conan?”
Xie Ci'an is a really talented guy. It's not easy to write such a wonderful story in such a short time.
In addition, Lin Xiaoman found a suspense story similar to the "Haunted Ancient Temple" she wrote among many vernacular stories, except that the ancient temple became a Taoist temple, the abbot with a human face and a beastly heart became the Taoist priest of Taixuan Temple, and the plot was exactly the same as "Haunted Ancient Temple".
Even the name was imitated, it was called Qin Xiaotian.
The writer who wrote "The Shock at Taixuan Temple" probably didn't expect that the person who chose the script was Liang Mancang himself, and he walked right into the trap.
There was no intellectual property right in ancient times, but students with real noble character would not bother to do such petty things.
Lin Xiaoman angrily put "The Shock at Taixuan Temple" aside and continued to read the next story with great interest.
