And this Bao Qingtian, who is loved by the people, turned out that his tomb was not in Kaifeng Mansion, but in the deep mountains of Shennong Mountain, the best feng shui treasure land in Henan. Looking at the huge old and simple stone tablet in front of us, which recorded various legendary stories of Bao Zheng before his death, the three of us were already in the gods, and were deeply attracted by the personality charm of the Qing officials thousands of years ago.

Bao Zheng was born in a family of eunuchs in Luyang. At the age of twenty-eight, he was admitted to the Jinshi. According to the system of the Song Dynasty, you can become an official if you take the Jinshi examination, but Bao Zheng is a filial son, he abides by the teachings of the sage "parents are here, do not travel far", and did not officially serve as the magistrate of Tianchang County (now Tianchang, Anhui) until the death of his parents at the age of 36. During his tenure as the magistrate, he broke a strange case and became famous. At the age of thirty-eight, he was promoted to Zhizhou, honest and honest, valued by his superiors and praised by the world, and then began his career as an important minister of the imperial court.

Born in the second year of Xianping in the Northern Song Dynasty. Heavenly Saint Pilgrim. Tired of supervising the imperial history, it is recommended to train troops and select generals, and enrich border reserves. He was also envoyed to the Khitan, and successively served as the judge of the three divisions of the household department, and the transfer envoy of Jingdong, Shaanxi, and Hebei Road. He entered the court as the deputy envoy of the three divisions and asked the imperial court to allow the trade of salt. Changed the knowledge of the Yuan, and repeatedly discussed the impeachment of the Minister of Quan Xing. Awarded the Longtu Pavilion direct bachelor, Hebei capital transfer envoy, moved to Ying, Yang Zhuzhou, and then called into the court, the right to know Kaifeng Mansion, the right to Yu Shi Zhongcheng, the three envoys and so on. Jiayu served as the deputy privy councillor for six years. After his death, he was nicknamed "Xiaosu". Bao Zheng was an official and was known for his wisdom and uprightness in prison. When he knew Luzhou, law enforcement did not avoid pro-party. At the time of Kaifeng, the main gate of the official mansion was opened, so that the litigants could go to the front of the court to sue themselves and put an end to traitors. The dynasty is resolute, the nobles and eunuchs hold their hands for it, and the Beijing division has the saying that "the joint is not enough, and there is Yan Luo Bao Lao".

Among them, it also records several cases that Bao Zheng had broken before his death, first recorded on the top behind the stele: "When Bao Zheng was serving as the county commander in Dingyuan County, he often paid private visits. Once, when Bao Zheng took the officials to pass by a certain hill, he saw flies flying above the grass in front of him, and there was a smell of blood, so he ordered the officials to inspect it. There was a male corpse lying in the grass, his body had rotted and his face was unrecognizable, with a large bluestone slab pressed on his back, and a horse jacket on his shoulder, with a wooden "Song Ji" stamp inside—it turned out to be a man who sold coarse cloth, and when he inquired about the local security guard, he learned that there was no cloth dealer surnamed Song in the local area. Bao Zheng concluded that this was a case of murder for money. So who is the murderer?

The next day, Bao Zheng posted a notice saying that he would interrogate the stone slab in the lobby. Everyone was curious, and they all went to the hall to see strange things. The bluestone slab was placed in the center of the hall, and the iron-faced selfless Bao Zheng shouted: "The bold slate, dare to seek wealth and kill people, there is no national law, give me forty slabs!" The officer raised the board and struck it at the slate, and the "crackling" shook the officer's mouth in pain. When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but laugh out loud. Bao Zheng reprimanded: "This county has decided the case, and the hall should be quiet, but you dare to make a noise in the court, what crime should you be guilty of?" ”

Seeing that Bao Zheng was angry, everyone knelt down together and said "confession".

Bao Zheng said: "Okay, you say, are you willing to fight or punish?" Willing to fight, each person plays forty boards; Willing to be punished, each person will be held on bail, limited to three days, and a three-foot cloth will be handed over. Violators will be severely punished! ”

Everyone is willing to be punished. I thought: "Lord Bao is really interesting, I can't find the murderer, let everyone come and offer a filial piety cloth." ”

Within three days, the coarse cloth that had been gathered near the street was empty. Bao Zheng's subordinates checked the marks on the cloth while collecting the cloth, and found that the coarse cloth handed over by many people had the "Song Mark" stamp, which was exactly the same as the seal of the deceased. After inquiry, it was found that it was from a certain cloth village. Arrest the owner of a cloth village at the moment. When the boss saw the deceased's stamp, his face was like ashes, so he had to confess: the deceased Song bought a coarse cloth from other places, stamped it with the stamp, and deposited it with him. He tried to kill for money, but in his hurry he forgot to destroy the horse's coat'

completely exposed the high IQ of Bao Zheng, looking at the following record: "Legend has it that Yin Bao Zheng of Kaifeng Mansion decided the case like a god, but there was a case that took him hesitation.

Mao Qin, a street citizen, died suddenly, and the clansmen sued Kaifeng Mansion because of their strange death.

Bao Gong summoned Mao's wife Donghua, although Donghua said sadly, but her face was bewitching, wearing mourning clothes and a red jacket inside, she was clearly suspected of killing her husband, but she claimed that her husband died of "air drum syndrome".

Bao Gong asked: "Since you have air bulge, have you ever asked a doctor for treatment?" ”

Donghua replied: "My husband's life is thin, and he died of exhaustion before he could seek medical treatment." ”

Bao Gong ordered Liao Jie to open the coffin for an autopsy. Liao Jie is experienced, but the autopsy results showed that although Mao Qin's death was abnormal, there were no traces of murder. When I returned home, I couldn't sleep at night, and I didn't know how to report to Fu Yin.

Seeing that he was preoccupied, his wife Ah Ying asked, "Have you ever examined the nose of that corpse?" ”

Liao Jie asked rhetorically: "What's the use of testing that nose?" ”

Ah Ying said: "That nose can be used to make an article, if you nail a sharp nail into it and go straight to the brain, won't it be able to leave no trace and cause death!" ”

Liao Jie suspiciously went to re-examine the body overnight, and saw that there were two iron nails in Mao Qin's nostrils, so the truth was revealed, and Donghua was arrested for questioning. Donghua denied it, admitting that she colluded with her husband to murder her husband.

Afterwards, Bao Gong asked Liao Jie: "Donghua's method of committing the crime is peculiar, how did you come up with the idea of examining the nostrils of the corpse?" ”

Liao Jie replied: "This was reminded by the little wife. ”

Bao Gong said: "Please invite your wife to come to the house, and I will thank you in person." ”

The next day, Liao Jie happily took his wife to the house to receive the reward. Bao Gong looked at A-Ying like an acquaintance for a while, and asked, "How many years have you been married to Liao Jie?" A-Ying replied: "We are a halfway couple, and it was only because my ex-husband died of a violent illness that I remarried Liao Jie as my wife." ”

"Your ex-husband's name is Lu Cai?"

A-Ying looked surprised: "How did the adults know?" ”

"The case of Lu Cai's violent death was submitted to the government by the county government, and I checked the file last night and learned that the county government had made a conclusion on the case. But I find this kind of conclusion quite questionable. ”

Ah Ying was even more panicked: "Adults think"

"The government believes that Lu Cai was murdered by someone nailing through his nostrils."

Liao Jie was ordered to go to the Lucai cemetery and dig up the grave and open the coffin, although the body was already decomposed. However, two rusted spikes are exposed in the nostrils.

Bao Gong continued to hear Lu Cai's case. He said to Ah Ying: "I think you are an ordinary woman, how to understand the strange method of nailing nails, unless you have personal experience, you can break it in one word,"

Ah Ying had to truthfully confess the facts: it turned out that she was also a water-based Yanghua woman, after marrying Lu Cai, she often lived with others, and her concubine was a habitual offender, and conspired with her to kill Lu Cai with an iron nail and nose, and later the concubine was killed in the brawl, and Ah Ying remarried Liao Jie.

Liao Jie woke up like a dream when he heard this: "I can't imagine that this woman is such a femme fatale, if it weren't for the adult's discernment, I would almost be the meat on her anvil." ”

A-Ying was frustrated: "If I hadn't talked a lot, this case would never have been solved." ”

Bao Cheng said: "No, the perpetrator of the crime, by luck, can only be deceived for a while, and cannot be hidden for a long time, and one day he will be exposed to the evil consequences of self-eating." This is Skynet, negligent but not leaky! ”
