It was said that Gao Ming was talking happily with Du Chou in the living room, and Guo Wen walked up to him from the outside and whispered: "Master, there is a crazy woman outside the door, saying that there is a great grievance to ask the master to make a decision." ”

"So fast?" Suddenly hearing such a thing, Gao Ming said that it was impossible not to be nervous, but when it came to the end, he couldn't shrink back no matter what, turned his head to Du Chou and said, "Mr. Du, let's go, let's go out and have a look." ”

When the two came to the gate of the Hou Mansion, they saw an unkempt woman kneeling there and shouting at her age. She was covered in mud.

Gao Ming frowned, and first ordered Guo Wen to take this person down to wash and change into clean clothes. When he walked out, he already knew that this was the first time he had come here to judge a case, and he had to make a sound of it in order to establish his name as a high sky.

As soon as he sat there, he saw that the pavilion chief named Huang Ang hurriedly came with a few people, and when he saw Gao Ming sitting there, his face couldn't help but change slightly.

"Xiaomin Huang Ang greets the lord!"

"The Huang Pavilion Chief is here at the right time," Gao Ming beckoned, "and I was about to trouble the Huang Pavilion to go and invite all the respected fathers and elders in our Pavilion to come over." ”

Watching Huang Ang leave, Du Chou couldn't help but ask on the side: "What does the prince mean by inviting those fathers and elders to come?"

"I remember that there is a sentence in the book of Sage Confucius, which is called hearing lawsuits, and I Jews too, aren't we?" Gao Ming naturally would not say that this was the practice of his world. And as a man of that world, although he didn't quite understand the meaning of a jury, he knew that there must be a reason for it.

Of course, there were some things he couldn't say. That is, as the first time to judge a case, he was very nervous, he was afraid that he would judge a confused case and end up with laughter. So, he decided to divide the pot in advance.

"The prince wants to be free of lawsuits?"

"No lawsuits? Once Gao Ming encountered this kind of theoretical problem, he subconsciously wanted to avoid it. Since he had debated with Wang Tianci a few times, he understood that his little knowledge was not systematic at all. It's okay to fool ordinary people, but if you really encounter that kind of belly, it's yourself who falls into jokes.

"Where dare to look up to the sages. Gao Ming said modestly: "It's just that a person's judgment is inevitably ill-considered, and it is easy to use public power for private purposes." If a group of people were to decide a case together, there would be no such problems. ”

Hearing Gao Ming's astonishing words, Du Chou immediately fell into deep thought.

Not long after Guo Wen led the woman in, he led her out again. The woman took a bath and changed into clean clothes, she looked like she was in her thirties, and she was not very white, but it could still be seen between her eyebrows that she must have been a beautiful woman in her early years.

Seeing that the crowd had slowly gathered, he straightened up and asked in a deep voice, "Who is coming down here, and what are the grievances?"

"Lord, the little girl was originally a resident of our pavilion Sanlitun, and today I came to tell the pavilion chief Huang Ang, he not only killed my father, but also killed my three brothers, forcibly seized my family's spiritual field, and asked the lord to be the master of the little girl, and give the little girl justice. ”

"What?" Gao Ming was really taken aback when he heard the woman's words, he really didn't expect that the first case he took over would involve his pavilion chief, "You tell me in detail." ”

"This is what it is......" the woman began to tell as she knelt there.

It turned out that this name was Hu E, and it was originally a slightly famous family on the Yandao side, and there were monks in the family for generations. When she arrived at her father, due to a business problem, his father mortgaged the ancestral ten acres of spiritual land to the Huang family in exchange for ten gold baht. The two sides signed an agreement that if the ten gold baht were returned within one year, the Huang family would return the ten acres of spiritual land, otherwise, the ten acres of spiritual land would be owned by the Huang family. His father was bent on making a profitable deal again, but after a trip to Ningzhou, not only did he not earn any money back, but he lost all the ten gold baht. These ten acres of spiritual land are the most valuable property handed down by his Hu family for generations, and they are the lifeblood of their Hu family. His father couldn't accept it anyway, and when it reached his hands, he cut off the hope of the descendants of the Hu family to cultivate the truth in the future. So, he begged the Huang family again and asked for another year of grace. But no matter how he pleaded, the Huang family would not allow it.

Finally, one day, after his father's plea was unsuccessful and was humiliated by the Huang family, he committed suicide at the door of Huang's house with a knife. After burying their father, the Hu brothers blamed the Huang family for their father's death, threatening to avenge their father's murder one day.

After the Huang family learned about it, they were annoyed and resentful, and they saw that the Hu brothers were studying hard and determined to become a leader, and they were afraid that one day the Huang family would be retaliated against after the Hu family became prosperous, so Huang Ang wanted to pay attention. That is to secretly give money to a thief in the mountains of Zhuti County, so that they can learn about the lives of the Hu brothers when they go to business.

This was originally done without God knowing. But as the saying goes, thieves don't recruit themselves for three years. A few years later, a child of the Huang family accidentally leaked his mouth after a drunken accident, and the news spread.

But after the men of the Hu family have been extinct, only this Hu E, who has already been married, is left. After Hu E learned the news, she burst into tears all day long, and vowed to seek justice for her brother. She repeatedly went to the county government alone to sue the people of the Huang family. But when it comes to the official office, what needs to be talked about is evidence. Hearsay that there is no evidence for the Huang family, how can the Huang family not be convicted. What's more, their Hu family has been extinct, and the Huang family's family business is becoming more and more prosperous. Up and down, no one paid attention to Hu E's complaint. Even Hu E's husband's family was because of the pressure of the Huang family, and secondly, she couldn't stand the fact that this daughter-in-law was suing every day, and after repeated dissuasion failed, Hu E was forced out of the house.

And the rest of the Hu family was originally angry that Hu E's father mortgaged the ancestral Lingtian, and after receiving a lot of apologies from the Huang family, they also acquiesced in the matter. Hu E was left alone, living alone in a thatched hut, shouting all day long to avenge her father and brother.

One day, this woman, who had gone insane in everyone's eyes, disappeared. No one knows where she went.

Some say dead, others say they were taken captive to the mountains by thieves for those people to vent their lust.

After a few more years, there was another crazy woman here, wandering around, and every day some children followed her and laughed at this crazy woman for not being ashamed, begging for food.

By the time Hu E finished talking about all this, Huang Ang had already returned here. He actually recognized this crazy woman as Hu E a few years ago, but he said that this woman was crazy, and it was okay to keep her, and besides, making her so embarrassed to appear outside was not only a joke for the Hu family, but also had some unspeakable thoughts.

Liwei?

Proud?

He couldn't say it himself, but every time he saw this crazy woman, he couldn't help but be proud of the idea he came up with back then.

At this time, seeing that Hu E was not only not crazy, but also sued the newly appointed monarch, Huang Ang instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

They are all villagers, and they can't hide it from everyone back then, and everyone in all the townships knows about it. But as long as their Huang family doesn't admit it, there is no evidence of it, and no one can do anything to themselves.

Thinking so, he hurriedly rushed out and knelt at Gao Ming's feet, and shouted loudly: "Lord, I Huang Ang has been wronged." This woman spews blood, and she also hopes that the lord will be aware of everything and make decisions for the small people. ”

Gao Ming's heart was broken at this time, and he now regretted that he had eaten enough to settle the case.

At this moment, he finally deeply understood the meaning of the words of the Confucian saint in this world, "Listen to lawsuits, I Jews too".

He actually believed Hu E's statement in his heart, but his reason told him not to be emotional, but to talk about evidence. What if Hu E is talking nonsense?

Also, what should I do if Hu E still can't produce evidence as before?

Torture Huang Ang?

Wouldn't that be a tyrant himself?

For a while, Gao Ming was really on pins and needles.

"Ahem," he cleared his throat and said quietly on his face: "Pavilion Chief Huang is not in a hurry, he can't listen to what one party says on the merits. You can rest assured, Ben Hou will definitely judge right and wrong, he who is white cannot become black, and he who is black cannot become white. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Huang Ang heard Gao Ming's sentence and made up his mind, he had inquired about the thieves back then, and he had been exterminated by the then county magistrate of Nanguang County, Zhuti County a few years ago. The evidence does not exist.

Just when he thought he had nothing to worry about, he looked at Hu E next to him and took out a crumpled yellow paper from his bosom and said, "Your lord, the people have evidence!"

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding audience was in an uproar!
