At this time, Baston was still bragging: "Come on, come on, come again, come again, I don't believe that you, a weak scholar, can drink my barrel." Come on! Come on! Whoever lies down first is the grandson! It's so annoying that you dare to drop the bag! I don't admit it when I drop the bag, I'm really angry! ”

The more angry he became, the more he drank, the more he drank, the more angry he became, and the crowd below was so happy that he was shocked.

Soon, after the three jugs of wine were drunk, and then look at Baston, who was already drunk and slumped under the table, and slipped down the stool.

Li Li took a look, what is this compared to? Look at Mr. Tang, his face does not change and his heart does not beat, as if he is drinking water and not wine, but it is obviously from a pot, is it fake?

Many outsiders from the Western Regions who were present also witnessed this fact. The wine judge adhered to the principle of fairness and justice, so he had to announce that the champion of the drinking competition was Tang Lu, and Baston lost.

The wine commander announced the result, and Li Li only awarded the porcelain Guanyin to Cheng'en Temple, and everyone had no opinion.

The people dispersed, except for Baston, who was still asleep and snoring, and was carried back to the hall by his fellow villagers, only to wake up three days later. After knowing what happened, I shouted that I was deceived, and the wine was wrong, and the wine was wrong!

It's strange, usually three pots of wine are not a problem, but this competition was lost to a white-faced scholar, is the wine fake? That's not right! Wine makes this barrel drunk and makes the white-faced scholar okay, what's going on?

He couldn't figure it out, here Cheng'en Temple invited Tang Lu to go and set up a banquet to entertain Tang Lu, of course, they were all vegetarian and very rich.

During the banquet, the abbot asked Tang Lu: "Dare to ask Master, why are you okay with drinking?" Look at the barrel nicknamed Baston, he actually got drunk, what the hell is going on? ”

"It's simple, just a simple makeover of the flask. Such a flask is a sandwich flask, with two layers inside and outside, and from the outside, it is no different from a normal flask, not much different, but the mechanism is in the spout of the flask. The spout is connected to the inner and outer layers, and if you hold down the small hole on the top, you can only pour out the water, and if the hole where the wine is poured is sucked firmly, you can't pour out the wine again, and similarly, if you hold down the hole below, the water will be sucked firmly, and you can only pour out the wine, not the water. In fact, when pouring the wine, it was my apprentice, who ran diligently before and after, I knew, the apprentice knew, even Baston didn't know, his fellow villagers didn't know, the onlookers present didn't know, and even the county magistrate and the wine commander didn't know. In this match, Baston was destined to lose. Because he doesn't understand, drinking actually has skills, can't make brute force, he looks down on the white-faced scholar, has lost a game, he is arrogant, lost the second game, and finally caught the wine and died, this is a mess, lost the third game, after three games, has returned to the sky and is powerless, plus the wine pot hides a hidden mechanism, it is strange that he does not lose completely. Tang Lu said.

"Hahaha, I see! That's high! Master deserves to be master! It's really Kong Ming who has played Zhuge in the world! It seems that this porcelain Guanyin is properly returned to its original owner and has become the treasure of Cheng'en Temple. Thank you again, Master! The abbot said.

"This is nothing, your apprentice Huitong is very clever, he sees the wind and steers, without his help, it is more difficult to achieve the goal." Tang Lu said.

The abbot smiled at Huitong and said, "The future is terrifying! There will be a future in the future! ”

The crowd laughed.

Full of wine and food, Tang Lu left Cheng'en Temple and returned home.

Huitong proposed to study with Tang Lu for a period of time, Tang Lu didn't look at it, because he was used to being free, he didn't like to take apprentices, and he didn't like to teach students, if he took apprentices or taught students, it would affect his own life, of course, if there was little time, not much time and energy spent, you could also consider, meet excellent talents, and decisively allow it.

"As the saying goes, joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are present in color, and this sentence makes sense." Tang Lu said.

"What do you mean?"

That is to say, a person's mental state can be expressed through facial expressions, and he does not feel it, but others can see it, and if he does not want to see it, of course he can't see it. That is the so-called blind eye, you can see clearly, but you choose not to look. Such a person is blind. You see, there are a lot of people now. Tang Lu said.

"This is true, and many people are. The more mature you are, the more you can disguise, children don't pretend, they cry when they should cry, and they laugh when they should laugh. ”

"Yes, your understanding is good, the longer people go, the more confused they become, and they don't dare to express their opinions. I was rejected for fear of being rejected. Tang Lu said.

"Master, tell me, what can best express people's true thoughts and thoughts?" Smartcom asked.

"Crying and laughing, of course."

"There are many types of crying and laughing, right?" Smartcom asked.

"Yes. All kinds of crying and laughing express different feelings, inner feelings, or inner feelings. Tang Lu said.

"Isn't there a lot of documentation of this?" Smartcom asked.

"Of course there is, there are quite a few of them in the books. When we handle cases, or act as spokespersons, we need to know common sense in this area. We must always deeply experience and comprehend with our hearts, so that we can make progress. Tang Lu said.

"That's what the master said!" Smartcom responded.

The two walked casually down the street.

Suddenly, a mournful female voice pierced the sky and spread far away, this is a mournful cry, it is really a sound that vibrates the world.

There was fear in the voice.

Not the painful wail of losing a loved one. It's like a wail of fear for your future fate.

As they drew nearer, their cries not only did not decrease, but increased, and they grew louder and louder, approaching howling. There was a trembling in the voice, and every sound hit Tang Lu's heart, like a person in a hurry home banging on the door of the atrium.

So, Tang Lu said to Monk Huitong: "There must be relatives in this family who are about to die." Let's go and see. ”

So saying, they entered the courtyard and saw a man lying upright on the bed, and a woman next to him was weeping bitterly.

"Who dare to ask you who is dead?" Smartcom asked.

"Wife." The woman had tears in her eyes, glanced at the monk, and thought to herself, would she have done something so soon? She thought to herself, and answered the question, and this time, everyone understood that her husband was dead.

When Tang Lu heard this, he was suspicious, but there was no evidence, so he had to ask: "Is it really the wife of the deceased?" ”

When the woman saw this, she was a little flustered, her eyes glanced at Tang Lu again, and she immediately moved elsewhere.

She nodded vigorously again.

"How long have you been dead?" ”

"About an hour." The woman replied.

Tang Lu's face immediately changed, his expression became solemn, and he looked at the woman and said coldly, "This is unreasonable." ”

When the woman heard this, she was startled and sat down on the ground.

Huitong asked: "Master, why is it unreasonable?" ”

What Huitong means is that since her husband is dead and she feels uncomfortable, she will definitely cry, and there is no difference between big and small crying. Crying loudly is howling, crying quietly is crying, there is nothing wrong with it!

"You probably don't understand this yet, I'll let you see the truth clearly in a while, you go to Li Li, that is, the county magistrate who judged and handled the porcelain Guanyin case, Lord Li, let him arrange for a post-mortem to see the cause of the man's death, I always feel that this man died strangely." Tang Lu said.

Huitong nodded, he didn't know the reason, but he was obedient and did so, he quickly rushed to Li Li, Li Li heard it, and secretly admired Tang Lu in his heart, this master usually wanders around, it seems that he is not doing his job, but in fact, he is handling cases all the time! The spirit is commendable! It's worth learning! It turns out that there are cases to be handled everywhere in life, and there are places to learn everywhere.

Li Li quickly asked people to inform him to go, and then quietly arranged for the officials to follow from afar, waiting for the opportunity to move. lest they suffer.

As soon as the man arrived, the man's body was examined.

Tang Lu handed over the matter to the servant, and the messenger had already appeared, at the gate of the compound, and then surrounded this courtyard house.

Tang Lu and Huitong left the house.

Smartcom asked, "What's going on?" ”

"You see, as long as it is a human being, according to the normal understanding of human feelings, for relatives, if a loved one is sick, there will be worries, always afraid that the illness of the relative is not good, there will be danger, and the consequences cannot be thought about. For the death of a loved one, you are completely hopeless, you will be very sad, you will feel that you have no future and no support, all your thoughts will be lost, and you will cry very sadly. If you don't die, you will be afraid, but if you die, you will be sad and will not be afraid. Do you think that's the truth? Tang Lu asked.

"yes, I think it makes sense. Many people have always wanted to keep their loved ones from getting sick or dying, as long as their loved ones still have a breath, they feel fear, good and good, and they can't die, they are afraid. The mood at this time is understandable. If she is already dead, she will be very sad, so is there no problem with this woman who knows that her husband has been dead for an hour, and still cries like that, but in fact cries with deep fear and fear? There must be something wrong. This kind of crying is not actually crying, but a howl made out of fear. It's not that I'm crying with real feelings, but I'm afraid that I'm going to be held accountable, and I'm so afraid that I'll lose my voice and howl, which makes people feel creepy, and that's how it is, so I judged that this woman must have done something that scared her, otherwise, there wouldn't have been such a big reaction. Tang Lu said.

When Huitong heard it, it was really such a truth, he nodded, hoping to know the cause of the deceased's death as soon as possible, so that he could verify it and see if what Tang Lu said was right.

"Did you notice? As we approached her, her cry, that cry of fear, grew louder. What does this mean? Tang Lu asked.

Huitong suddenly realized, he time: "Yes, I understand, she killed her man, and after she died, she was afraid, before committing the crime, she wanted to kill her man, but also afraid of being known and discussed by outsiders, in order to cover up her murder suspicion, let outsiders know that she killed her husband and was killed by someone, she began to pretend, began to perform, that is, began to cry, and used loud crying to cover the fact that she was a murderer." This cry was not a cry of heartache, but a cry in disguise to cover up the crime, and such a cry inevitably revealed great fear in her voice, and when she heard our footsteps, the sound of fear became louder. Isn't it? Touts? ”

Tang Lu saw that he understood, and nodded.

Tang Lu walked slowly in front, and a group of people came behind, holding a woman, Tang Lu and they saw that it was the woman who was crying for her husband just now.

Huitong looked at Tang Lu and admired him from the bottom of his heart!

Sure enough, Tang Lu said that this woman was the murderer.

After a post-mortem examination, it was found that the woman's husband had been killed by the woman, and there was physical evidence, that is, the dagger that killed the murderer, and blood-stained clothes, and in addition, it was the woman's confession, and she admitted that she had killed her husband.

Because her husband often drinks and gambles, he beats her when he comes home drunk and drunk, and when he loses his gambling and doesn't give her money, he also beats her, loses his gambling, and has no place to vent when he comes back, and he also uses her as a punching bag, and he still beats her, often tortures her, and makes her miserable.

Just when I was telling fortunes, I met a fortune teller, and the husband was interesting to her, and she also thought that the fortune teller was good, as long as he didn't hit a woman, such a man would be fine. She wanted to be good with the fortune teller, and the fortune teller also saw her pitiful, so she agreed.

But there is one condition, which is to solve her man's problem first. If the previous marriage is not settled, the fortune teller will not do it, saying that it is adultery, fornication, such a thing is dishonorable, and it cannot be done.

After the woman returned home, she found an opportunity to tell him that she wanted him to write a letter of resignation and divorce her.

Her husband didn't do it, not only did he not do it, he didn't write a letter of resignation, but he beat her again, and this time the beating was more serious, and she had murderous intentions.

Her husband went to gamble again, lost and continued to ask her for money, she had no money, usually made a living by sewing and mending people, couldn't save money, and had to live, her husband didn't care, let her go to the employer to advance the expenses, she didn't go, she didn't go, she was beaten, there was really no way, only to go, fortunately, the employer knew that she was hardworking and capable, and did a good needlework, so he gave her an advance, and her husband got the money and went to the casino to gamble.

Life goes by like this, and I don't know when it's a head.

That night, her husband came back drunk.

She saw that the opportunity had come.

The dagger was prepared a long time ago.

Just thinking of the bloody one, I was scared and almost gave up.

By the time it was dawn, the roosters had crowed three times. If she doesn't do it, I'm afraid it will be too late, so her heart is crossed, she becomes hard, and a knife goes down, hitting the heart, but she didn't expect blood to splatter everywhere, staining her clothes red, and then hiding the dagger, seeing that her husband didn't shout, he kicked his legs and feet for a while, and then there was no movement, and his body was all the way, so he swallowed his breath.

Taking advantage of the warmth of her husband's body, she placed him on the bed and began to cry bitterly.

At this time, Tang Lu and Huitong happened to pass by, and when they heard the cry, they followed the sound and came in, and when they saw this scene, after a simple conversation and observation, they understood the truth, but they didn't say it.

The woman was escorted to the county office, and Li Li listened to the inspection report and immediately put the woman in prison pending trial. It is estimated that there is little hope of survival.
