Chapter 292: Cut the Mess with a Quick Knife! Grace and affection!
"Niangniang, do you also like to drink tea?" Lu Zhidao.
"Well, in general. Sometimes, nine cups a day means 'forever', and sometimes 10 cups means 'full comfort'. โ
"Niangniang, you're a tea idiot." Lu Zhi praised.
Concubine Wen pondered: "It would be enjoyable if you tried the case with a belly full of poems and books in the public court!" will definitely scold the prisoners to the blood, and will definitely blame themselves bitterly, regretting that they shouldn't have done it in the first place! โ
"So good! Niangniang really opened the eyes of the old man! I happen to be friends with you, so why not give it a try! โ
On the second day, Concubine Wen changed into the clothes of the prefect of the government and sat majestically in the center of the court, with a row of officials standing on each side of the court, holding a walking stick.
He shouted angrily, "Who is coming? โ
"Grass King Mazi." The man sat on a small stool with his legs shaking.
"Mazi, do you know why you sit on a small stool?"
"The grass people don't know, please make it clear!" Wang Mazi asked in a trembling voice.
"Because you have violated the criminal law, you are a villain, and the villain will be a small stool." Concubine Wen was still happy from the bottom of her heart when she was called 'adult' for the first time, but she tried her best to hold back a smile and sat upright.
"Wang Mazi, what did you do when you recruited from the truth?" Concubine Wen slapped the shocked wood and said angrily.
"The little one burned down the neighbor's forest for a little revenge."
"It's too bad! Do you know what's in the mountains? The mountains and forests selflessly nurture the neighbors' firewood, the trees are set up with the nests of all kinds of birds, and the grass hides the homes of ants and insects, and these beautiful plants and animals have lived together in harmony for many years. As the saying goes: 'Ten years of trees', it takes about two to three years for a big tree to grow into shape, and if it wants to grow into a towering tree, it will take at least ten years for the official to punish you, first plant a tree on the hillside for your neighbors for a year, you must let the saplings survive, and then go to prison, if you should be sentenced to three years, the sentence can be reduced to two or two and a half years, depending on your confession. โ
"Little one, thank you, adult!" Although Wang Mazi felt uncomfortable, he had to convince the new judge that he was right.
"What's your name?" Concubine Wen asked, and when the man heard it, he said strangely: "This official is interesting, and he also asked the name of the prisoner, so he looks up to me so much!" After thinking about it, he said: "If you go back to the master, my name is Sun Deren, and it is rare for an adult to care so much about the name of a sinner." "You are too worried, not that you care what your name is, but that you feel sorry for your parents, and you go to great lengths to give you a good name, but you don't cherish it, you are benevolent, you are so 'unkind', it is difficult for the old man!" What crime was committed? Hurry up! Concubine Wen shouted.
"I poisoned Tu Jun's fish pond, causing all his fish to die."
"Boldly tricking the people, why is it so vicious? Only when the heart is poisonous, will it harm the fish and water. โ
"But I only poisoned the fish, not the water." Deren quibbled. "Really? If you put rat droppings in your soup, you say, are you harming the vegetables or the soup? "Is this pot of soup still drinkable?" Concubine Wen can make this guy speechless if she talks about it casually. "If you go back to your adult, you can't, naturally, my lord!"
Seeing that this person still understood some truth, Concubine Wen used the excuse to sneak out, avoid the prisoner, and whispered to the errand man: "You go and get some rice water to mix with a glass of water." "After half an hour,
"Daring fanatic, do you dare to drink the water of the pond where you have poisoned? This is what I scooped up for you yesterday. It's called carpenter's yokeโself-inflicted, or 'lifting a stone and shooting oneself in the foot'. Concubine Wen asked angrily. When the man heard this, he immediately sat down on the ground, his face was like ashes, and said, "Great, great, sir, spare me, I am willing to go to prison for a few more years." "You want to be beautiful! All beings are equal, and fish can drink, so why can't you drink it? Drink it! The man still refused. Concubine Wen had no choice but to ask someone to pour "poisonous water" on him.
After a while, the man was about to take the opportunity to pretend to be dead, Concubine Wen saw through his trick and said: "Boy, remember: only a person with a bad stomach will think of poisoning, in fact, while making the fish's stomach rot, your heart, your stomach has already rotted first!" It is impossible for this official to let you die, but only to let you taste the taste of doing bad things, and also let you become a fish once, and truly experience the uncomfortable taste of poisoning to death, you know? โ
"My lord, I'd rather go to jail for one more year than be scared to death by you!" The man's heart palpitated.
"Bold! Dare to bargain with this official, okay, add another year to the prison. Only then did the man realize his mistake and hurriedly pleaded, and Concubine Wen was executed in accordance with the original judgment.
After handling a few more cases, Concubine Wen felt a little boring.
At this time, drums were beaten outside the courtroom. Zhang Shan said: "My lord, my name is Zhang Shan, this Li is really hateful, he has been borrowing my money for three years, and he has not paid it back, and he still ignores it, just like I owe him money." When Concubine Wen heard this, she was angry, she hated this kind of shameless villain the most, and hurriedly asked: "Zhang Shan, how many taels of silver did he lend you?" "My lord, Lord Qingtian, he borrowed ten taels of silver from me!" "It's obviously a tael of silver, besides, do you have my IOU?" Lee is cheeky and said.
Concubine Wen thought: It's okay now, if you meet a scoundrel, you might as well plan it. So she calmed down: "This official is a high-ranking person, and today he was hired by the Rongzhou Mansion with a high salary, this official has a special function, as long as you lie, I can see from your eyes that you are lying, and you can also judge who is lying by your heartbeat, dare to try?" โ
"Dare! I dare! "Zhang Shanshi is straight and strong." I dare too. "Li is a duck with a dead mouth.
"Li is, you come up." Concubine Wen said majestically. "Adult, the little one didn't borrow him as much." "So, do you dare to look into the eyes of this official?" Li was timid to look at it from a distance, not daring to look around.
"Zhang Shan, you come up, what did you buy after you saw him borrow your money?"
"My lord, this Li is, it's hateful! He lied that his mother was sick, and as a result, he took my money and went to spend all his time, going to the kiln today, the casino tomorrow, and the restaurant the day after tomorrow, and he spent it all for me in a few clicks. That's my hard-earned money, my lord! Please be the master of the grass people! โ
"Treacherous and greedy wicked, this official makes the following judgment, immediately lead the messenger to Li Shi's house, and return all his pigs, cattle and sheep to Zhang Shan until it is finished, if it is not enough, sell himself into slavery, and severely punish these wicked people for working as coolies for Zhang Shan's family for a year, there must be no mistake! Retire from court! โ
