A short puzzle story: a clever county magistrate

A clever county magistrate was transferred to a larger county by the emperor because of his excellent handling of cases. One day, he was reading official documents in the county government when he suddenly saw a man come in and claimed to be selling beans. He spent the night in a temple in the county, and when he got up in the morning, he found that the beans were gone. He asked the people in the temple that he didn't see it, so he came to the county government to report it. After hearing this, the clever county magistrate asked who lived in the temple and whether anyone lived with him. The bean seller told the county magistrate one by one. The clever county magistrate thought about it and said to the bean seller, "Don't worry, don't tell anyone. You can carry another bag of beans to the temple tonight. If you lose it, you can come to the county government quietly. I will help you find the magic beans. " Then he explained to the leader that the leader had been taken away.

When it was getting dark, the official took out a bag of beans mixed with raw beans and cooked beans and gave it to the bean seller. The bean seller took the bag of beans and went to live in the temple.

Sure enough, the beans were lost again, and the man quietly returned to the county government without saying anything.

The next day, the clever county magistrate sent an official to put on people's clothes and carry some firewood to the temple to change some beans. The monk in the temple took out some beans and gave them to the official.

The chief took it and saw that the beans were raw and cooked.

At this time, the clever county magistrate also took the bean seller and two officials into the temple, exposed the fact that the monk stole the beans from the bean seller on the spot, and then asked the temple to compensate the beans from the bean seller, took the monk who stole the beans back to the county government and punished him.
