When Li Huanggong was in Fengxiang Town, when the local people were plowing the fields, they stumbled upon a treasure of horseshoe gold.
According to the "Book of Han", Dongyue Mountain saw gold, and Emperor Wenwu believed that it was the Rui Zhao of Bailin Shenma.
He once ordered the casting of horseshoe gold in the shape of a toe to show auspiciousness, and later the people followed suit.
The local people sent the treasure to the county government, and Li Wanggong prepared to display it in the palace.
The prefectural commander was very happy to get this treasure and wanted to make meritorious contributions to it.
He was worried that Li Wanggong's treasure was not strict, so he brought the treasure to his home privately.
After a night, he reopened with the officials and found that the treasure had been replaced with a stone.
At that time, when the urn gold was unearthed, people from the village came to inspect it, but now the results have changed, and everyone is shocked.
The situation was immediately reported to the prefect.
There was also a lot of talk about it, and some said that it was a replacement for a treasure.
The prefect sent Fa Cao and several military officials to investigate the case.
As a result, the village where the treasure was excavated was found, and everyone unanimously testified that the horseshoe metal was solid.
The prefectural order was pointed out by the testimony of the public, and was severely questioned and insulted, and finally admitted to the crime of exchanging money.
The detailed confessions are kept, but the county order can't say what the ** was hidden in** and what was done with it.
Facao and the military officials ordered the servants to be detained and coerced into telling the truth.
Some say that the treasure is hidden in the dung soil, others say that it is thrown into the water, and all kinds of speculations are different.
The investigators finally compiled the case file and reported it to the trial, and Li Wanggong was also very angry when he saw this.
Soon after, there was a banquet, and everyone stopped to talk about it.
The guests in the seats joked.
Some people say that the county order is to imitate the plundering behavior of the Qi people, and some people say that there is a habit of Yang Zhen.
While talking and laughing, everyone thought that this gold exchange incident was not surprising.
Yuan Xiangguo was also present at that time, and he lowered his head and barely responded.
Li Wanggong looked at Yuan Xiangguo and said, "Is the county order a close confidant of Judge Yuan?" ”
Yuan Xiangguo said: "I have no close relationship with him. ”
Li Wanggong said: "Why are you upset when you hear about his crime? ”
Yuan Xiangguo said: "I doubt that this matter is over, so I ask Li Gong to investigate it in detail." ”
Wang Gong said: "The situation of the exchange of gold is very obvious, if it is not over, then there must be other clues, only the judge can be true or false."
Yuan Xiangguo said: "Okay. He then ordered the case to be transferred to the palace for interrogation.
Then he read the information in detail between the urns and found that it was more than two hundred and fifty pieces of gold.
He also questioned the person who had first dug up the nugget, saying that there was so much to dig up.
So Yuan Xiangguo ordered people to search the streets, smelt and equal the shape of the original block.
After it was made, it began to be weighed, and it had reached three hundred catties.
When asked about the manpower they used to carry **, they said that they were two farmers who moved to the county with bamboo poles.
Yuan Xiangguo calculated the number of **, not two people can lift it with a bamboo pole.
It is obvious that ** has been turned to dirt on the way.
So everyone's doubts were solved.
The prefectural order was eventually cleared.
