Chapter 178: The Benevolent Heartbeat
On the afternoon of the second day of the birthday feast, the family members of Mafu fished out Ma Junguo's body from the well.
It turned out that the monk Jueyuan met at the door of the Ma family at three o'clock in the afternoon of Ma Junguo, and the Ma Junguo prepared the luggage package early, but never saw the arrival of the monk Jueyuan.
"The Buddha said, it's not the wind moving, it's not the flag, the benevolent heart is moving, Amitabha, my Buddha is compassionate"
Ma Junguo muttered such a sentence in his mouth, his face was magically very serious, it was a deathly silent face, and his eyes were full of infinite disappointment, not only disappointed in Master Jueyuan's dishonesty, but also completely disappointed in himself.
The horse Junguo muttered in his mouth, and his feet seemed to be disobedient, and he approached a bend of the well next to his lotus pond step by step, and looked at the pure well with some small unknown green grass growing next to it, although there was no sunlight, it was very vibrant.
It turned out that after combining the "benevolent heartbeat" with Master Jueyuan's dishonesty, he found that this Master Jueyuan was actually hinting at him, if he didn't come to him, then there was no need to wait, and he would have decided on his own.
"My father has hardly had a good night's sleep in his life in order to do business, has eaten a stable meal, goes to bed late and gets up early every day, in order to socialize, the three meals are irregular, so I want to accompany the family to have a meal is so luxurious, in my memory, the only meal that my father stayed at home to eat with everyone was in the Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve meal"
This Ma Rong said to Runzhi with an infinitely sad tone.
Hearing that Ma Junguo had died suddenly in this well, this Runzhi was very puzzled, so after learning the news, he rushed to Mafu.
This Ma Rong continued:
"I have a brother who is not angry, actually on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, when my father finally had a meal with everyone, because of some small things, so that he gambled and hid in the room and did not come out to eat, so that this year's Chinese New Year's Eve was unprecedented and not the night of family reunion, which may be the reason why my father has been very bad this year"
Runzhi listened, so he said:
"You think too much, this is just your wishful thinking, but your younger brother since childhood, is indeed too ignorant, this Chinese New Year's Eve reunion dinner can not be valued" Runzhi said, "Let it disperse with the wind in the past, people will always face death, it's just a matter of time, we still have to cherish the people in front of us, and live the current life is the most important thing."
Ma Rong listened and nodded again and again.
This Ma Rong is also a very strong woman.
Although her father died and made her feel extremely sad, she handled the affairs of the house in an orderly manner, witty and flexible, and was no worse than ordinary men.
So Runzhi is still more at ease with this woman.
It is said that after Runzhi helped Ma Rong deal with many things in Mafu, he returned to the Yamen of Zhejiang Prefecture and once again devoted himself wholeheartedly to the official affairs of hearing many large and small local cases.
On this day, there was a light rain in the sky, and on the streets of Hangzhou, there was really a kind of beauty of "the light rain in the heavenly street was as moist as a crisp".
Suddenly, there was a drum sound from the prefect's yamen, and an old man and a woman came to complain.
It turned out that the two men were farmers in the neighborhood, but because of the recent dry weather and lack of rain, the family that had relied on rice cultivation for generations tried almost everything to bring water from other places here, but this was obviously not enough.
Originally, in the south, most of the farmland planted rice was soaked and irrigated, that is, the water source with a certain thickness in the field was always maintained to reach the height of a man's fist, so as to maintain the rapid growth of rice. Hot e-books
The old man and the woman and her husband were fighting over the water with a farmer next door, and the other side had more men, so they beat the woman's husband to death.
This family originally relied on this man's farming income to earn living expenses, so the family was almost in a desperate situation, and in desperation, naturally the old man and the woman came to the county government to sue the family.
But this county order ignored it because it received ten taels of silver from another family.
So these two people had to travel hundreds of miles, and they came to the prefect to administer justice.
"Get up, if you have something to say, this official will definitely administer justice for you."
In the prefect's yamen, many officials stood on both sides, holding the killing rod in their hands, and their eyes were very solemn.
The two of them finally stood up with the support of the officials.
"My lord, please call the shots for the grass people."
The two men said almost in unison.
"You will tell everything about the matter, but if there is a grievance, this official must be duty-bound."
So the two of them took turns and told Runzhi about what happened.
But the two peasants didn't seem to have any coherence or train of thought when they spoke, they just said whatever they wanted, and when they talked about what seemed to be emotional, tears fell big and big.
In order to better sort out the ins and outs of this matter, Runzhi specially sent people to the field where the two said that the fight took place, and found that there was a canal at the place where the fight took place, and the canal was about three meters high.
Combined with the descriptions of both parties, it turned out that the other party directly hit the deceased in the back of the head with a stone, and after knocking the deceased unconscious, he not only allowed the deceased to have a hemorrhage in the back of the head, but also threw the deceased directly from the canal by virtue of the strength of the crowd, causing the deceased to completely suffocate in the water of the canal.
In Runzhi's opinion, it is indeed very ignorant and irrational for the two farmers to fight just for a little more arable land and water, after all, what can not be done to sit down and discuss it?
But these two families didn't have so much patience, and a foul word burst out, and they didn't feel good to listen to it and did it directly.
According to the surrounding farmers, the two families fought fiercely in the fields, and if the village elders had not heard the news, perhaps more people would have died.
In order to better understand the ins and outs of the matter, Runzhi spent a few days bringing people to the village to investigate, making some necessary visits to almost every one of the villages, plus sending people to cordon off the scene and fix the evidence, and gradually the case surfaced.
It turned out that this incident was only the direct cause of the death of the deceased, but in fact, the grievances between the two families have not been a day or two for a long time.
It turned out that for a long time before this happened, the two families were in the village with needles on the tip of the wheat.
These two families have long been foul with each other, accusing each other and slandering each other, so that they hate each other's whole family to each other so much that they grit their teeth.
