Simple people believe in fairness and justice that they see with their eyes. The so-called justice means that evil will be rewarded, good will be rewarded, and lovers will eventually get married. They will like to watch the excitement of a woman marrying three husbands, but in his nature, he is more willing to watch A man like Huang Yi, who is honest and affectionate, can finally impress everyone with his kindness and let Huang Su'e have a good ending. This is the so-called popular support.
Everyone in the courtroom praised the magistrate for his clear insight into the case and his ability to solve such a difficult case to win the hearts of the people. Naturally, Magistrate Song could not pass the credit on to Liang Chuan. He would not even be able to reap such benefits himself!
It was a coincidence that he was able to conclude this case. He had seen a similar case before.
Liang Chuan had seen a case before. There were two brothers in a place. The sister-in-law had been infertile for many years. Later, she finally got pregnant, and the baby was still born. Later, the younger brother also got married, and his sister-in-law became pregnant quickly. However, something went wrong during the delivery. The sister-in-law snatched the child from her sister-in-law and claimed that it was her own.
In those days, there were no such detailed registrations, and there were no blood tests, DNA tests and other methods. To determine whether the child was yours was to see if it looked like you. This is where the trouble lies in this case. The child's fathers are actually two brothers, and they look alike. When the children were young, it was hard to tell which one they looked like.
This case has been fought for three years with no result. In the end, there was no choice but to file a lawsuit with the government. The government had no good solution at the beginning, but the official observed carefully and found that the elder sister-in-law of the two families who came to file the complaint was always arrogant and loud. Even if she acts violently towards the child, her sister-in-law's eyes are always full of love towards the child, and her heart will twitch even if others use a little force on the child. We fought in court but got no result. In the end, they had a big fight in court. The two families fought over the child. The sister-in-law grabbed the child by pulling it. The pain made the child cry loudly, and the sister-in-law started crying when she heard the child. , I also cried, reluctant to let my child suffer this.
When the county magistrate saw this scene, he immediately pronounced the case and pronounced that the child belonged to his sister-in-law. The reason was very simple. If it was your own child, how could you only care about the child and not consider whether the child would hurt. This case has also been widely circulated in the local area. People have praised the local county magistrate for his clear insight and miraculous handling of the case, which has become a good story. The Huang Su'e case is exactly the same as the child dispute case, so the little plan was a success.
It's just that the county boss is such a thief. Not only did he take all the credit for the method he came up with, he pretended to have come up with it himself and even scolded himself.
Huang Su'e was beaten several times and her vitality was severely damaged. The family helped her back home alive. When Su Cheng and Feng Yizhi saw that Huang Su'e was pretending to be dead, they were furious, but they couldn't control it. Just now, the county magistrate personally asked whether they were willing to handle Huang Su'e's funeral as her husband. Both of them denied it in court. Now that they had spoken, they There was nothing else to say. They would only insult each other. The two of them swung their sleeves and left angrily.
The county magistrate was originally in an extremely depressed mood because of the fire, but by chance, he settled the case of the three husbands. He felt very relieved, and every pore in his body was roaring with excitement. If it weren't for the two eggs falling down below, he would have been very depressed. Can fly into the sky.
The magistrate ordered the yamen officer to report the criminal to court, and two policemen carried Liang Chuan to the court. Liang Chuan found this interesting. Going to court one day was like going shopping, with dead pigs swaying across the street. This time Liang Chuan was honest. All of these people were talented and scheming. He had better be honest and strive for leniency.
The magistrate was in a good mood and said slowly: "Wu Dutou, what's going on?"
Wu Du stood on his horse with his head drawn and his sword drawn, and stood majestically in the courtroom. He pointed at Liang Chuan with a look of disdain and said: "To tell you something, the night before yesterday we received a report from Yang Chun, a villager in Fengshan, who reported that Yang Xing, a villager in Fengshan, was on the street. He was beaten by a strongman and died of serious injuries after returning home. After receiving the report, we investigated all night and finally found out that it was Liang Chuan, a villager in Fengshan. A few days ago, my subordinates and a group of brothers captured the suspect Liang Chuan and brought him to justice. Now please inform the county Sir, show me!"
The magistrate didn't even raise his eyes. This criminal was quite interesting. He came up with such a clever idea in the case just now.
Then let’s go to trial!
The magistrate followed the procedure and asked where the plaintiff was. Yang Chun was already waiting in the hall.
At this time, Yang Chun's face was sallow, and his chest was wrapped in circles of white cloth, which seemed to be coated with a lot of green and yellow ointment. Liang Chuan's previous kick took most of Yang Chun's life, and now he was almost being carried. Come in, half of your feet are in the gate of hell.
The magistrate waved his hand, and Wu Dutou retreated consciously.
The magistrate asked: "Plaintiff, tell me the matter in detail. If you conceal anything, I will be severely punished."
Yang Chun is a timid person. In the past, he just followed brother Yang Xing and waited for the tiger to show off. How could he dare to act like a leader? In Fengshan, it was one thing for others to treat him as such. But here in the courtroom, the two rows of government servants next to him are majestic. Lin Lin looked at Yang Chun condescendingly as if he were a dead dog, his eyes full of disdain.
Yang Chun didn't go to court either, and when he encountered an evil star like Liang Chuan, he said tremblingly: "Sir, this villain is a good citizen of Fengshan. The day before yesterday, he and his brother Yang Xing were wandering on the streets of Fengshan, thinking about what happened to be at home. My mother was about to buy some fish eggs to honor the elderly family members on her birthday, but she suddenly ran into this black guy."
Yang Chun pointed at Liang Chuan and said, it was as if he had killed his father. His enemy was extremely jealous when he saw him, but he couldn't get angry. Whenever he exerted force, his body felt excruciating pain. Yang Chun couldn't speak loudly even if he wanted to, so he could only whisper softly. Then he said: "Unexpectedly, we met this black guy on the road. He stopped us two brothers and claimed that if we didn't buy him money for the road, he would kill us both. It's a pity that our two brothers have nothing to buy. We only have a few pennies to buy it." I bought a piece of pork and wanted to go back to honor my parents. I discussed with my eldest brother that we would give the meat to this guy and let me go. Unexpectedly, this strong man used violence against us when we disagreed. He kicked me into the coffin. , when I woke up, I found that my eldest brother had been seriously injured and died. I dragged him back home, but after I got home, it was too late to call the doctor. My eldest brother had been seriously injured by the guy and died! Please be kind to me. The master is in charge!"
This Yang Chun is injured. He cannot speak loudly, as quietly as a mosquito buzzing. In addition, as the magistrate is old, his hearing has deteriorated. It is his best to be able to hear only one sentence of three sentences without speaking too loudly. Yang Chun Kneeling below, he heard what was being said in a daze and was about to have a seizure when the master next to him coughed and repeated it for Yang Chun.
After the county magistrate heard what happened, he didn't expect that there would be such a madman under his rule. He even collected protection money in broad daylight on the street. He went against the grain and shouted to Liang Chuan, "Is this true?"
How could Liang Chuan dare to say yes? He didn't know why he was brought here for interrogation. Now if you ask him if he is, even a pig would say no. Liang Chuan was neither impatient nor angry, and just answered the magistrate's question: "Sir, Yang Chun is talking nonsense!"
The county magistrate also asked Liang Chuan, "Then tell me what happened in detail!"
Liang Chuan knelt on the ground and told the story from the beginning to the end about Er Yang's plan to do something frivolous to the artiste, without adding any exaggeration, sensationalism, or modification. As for how he beat the two of them violently, he did not increase or decrease it. He told it truthfully. out.
Liang Chuan could still remember Er Yang's dirty words that day, and he imitated them subtly. At first, when the onlookers heard that Yang Chun bought meat to honor his mother, they thought that this thin ghost must be a filial son and did not look like a bad person. However, Liangchuan people are tall, big and thick, and people are born with an affinity for huge animals. With a conflicting mentality, I first thought that Liang Chuan must be a bad person.
After a conversation, Liang Chuan spoke in a clear and logical manner, and it didn't sound like he was just making it up, nor did he give people the feeling of hypocrisy like Yang Chun did. People were talking about which one was lying.
The county magistrate sighed in his heart, Xinghua has always had simple folk customs, people living and working in peace and contentment, and many years of peace and prosperity, but now people's hearts are still so impetuous.
This was an unheard-of case of three husbands, and now there was another murder case in the street. He remembered that no one had beaten the drum of grievance in front of the door for a long time. It was because he was too content with his old age and relaxed his management of Xinghua. .
These two people seem to be honest people, but in fact they are very dishonest. They are telling completely opposite things. One of them must be telling lies. It seems that it is necessary to straighten things out today, otherwise everyone will think that they are too old to care. Moved.
Magistrate Song said: "Yang Chun, did Yang Xing say anything or do anything when he died?"
Yang Chun said slowly: "After we were injured by him that day, I carried my eldest brother back to Yang Xing's home alone, because although Yang Xing had the same surname as me, he was not related. Both of Yang Xing's parents died early, leaving him alone. A wife and sister-in-law were so frightened and at a loss when they saw that Yang Xing was so seriously injured that I had no choice but to go to the doctor for my sister-in-law to get some medicine and give it to her. The doctor prescribed the medicine and went back, saying that the injury was too serious and she was afraid that she could not be saved. That day he was fine during the day, but at night my eldest brother kept complaining of pain. Before I even went to call for a doctor, my eldest brother died! I have carried my eldest brother's body outside the hall. Please take a closer look."
The county magistrate asked Liang Chuan again: "Liang Chuan, what do you have to say?"
Liang Chuan said: "Sir, the villain only injured Yang Chun's chin that day. This chin is not a part of the command. Even if it is completely smashed, it is impossible to kill the person. It just so happened that Yang Chun also brought Yang Xing's body. Why not examine the cause of death and the truth will come out.”
The magistrate had just taken a special liking to his wit, and what he said now was also well-founded. He was curious, when did such a famous figure appear in Fengshan? Fengshan, there was a Meng Liangchen here, why did he do it again? Come out with this character No. 1!
The county magistrate said: "Come on, bring up Yang Xing's body!"
