Tang Lu listened to the old man's words, and said with a smile: "It's good to understand, officialdom is not so smooth, it is still necessary to balance the relationship, so that the officials and the people can live in harmony and will not cause big problems." The dumb man actually understands what the official means, he is very obedient, and knows that with the official's performance, it seems that many people are deceived by the dumb man's acting skills, in addition to the dumb can't speak, the ability of the dumb person in other aspects is more than that of ordinary people, but many people don't realize the ability of the dumb, probably people like those who are freshly dressed and angry, and don't like those with physical disabilities. But the mutes are much smarter than those people. If it weren't for the dumb man's good acting skills, the old man might not have been deceived. Won't tell some truth. Right? ”

"Yes." The old man said that as soon as he heard this, he understood, and the white beard and white eyebrows were fluttering as he spoke, and he smiled and said, "No wonder! I don't think that blood will flow so much, if it flows so much, I'm afraid people will soon die, and they are still alive for so long, there should be fraud, but I suspect it. After an explanation by an adult, I understood everything. ”

"You have a lot of knowledge, you know the name of this dumb man, right? If you don't know the name, it's hard to write a verdict. Tang Lu said.

"He has a name, how can a big family not have a name? His name is Di Daxiong, and his brother's name is Di Daying. They were two brothers. The old man said.

"So, may I ask the old man what is your honorable name?" Tang Lu asked, try to be modest.

"The name is just a symbol, it doesn't mean anything, adults can call Lao Di is feasible." Lao Di said.

"Oh no, you're Di Lao. Di Lao, what is the relationship between you and Di Daxiong? Tang Lu asked.

"Strictly speaking, I am Di Daxiong's second uncle. watched Di Daxiong grow up, he has been very kind since he was a child, Di Daying has a heart, the old man doesn't like scheming people, such people are often not kind, people are afraid, with kind people, it is more relaxed and natural, if you are with evil people, it is more uncomfortable. ”

"I see! No wonder Di Lao knows Di Daxiong so well! In such a situation, how should Di Lao deal with it? Tang Lu asked.

"It's easy to say, it's complicated to say it's complicated. The easy way is to let Di Daying, that is, his elder brother and his elder brother, recognize this younger brother, as long as he admits that it is his younger brother, then half of the family property is his, if he does not admit it, he will not be able to share the family property, the key is that the brothers recognize each other, if they do not recognize each other, there will be other problems. For example, without brotherhood, there is no way to property. If the name is not right, it is not good. Lao Di said.

"Then, if you want to solve this case, you must first send Di Daying to the court to ask." Tang Lu said.

"Exactly, he is a party, a defendant, he wants to pay, and if he wants to divide the family property, he must go through him, if he admits that he is Di Daxiong's brother, it will be easy to do, but it will be difficult if he does not admit it."

"Okay, there is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid that there are people who have a heart, and Di Daying will be sent to the hall to question!" Tang Lu commanded.

Soon, Di Daying came.

He wore gorgeous clothes, was fat, had oil on his mouth, and spoke in a strange tone, I don't know where he didn't learn to climb back as a toddler.

"What's your name?" Tang Lu asked.

"The little one's name is Di Daying." He looked away and said.

"Do you know him?"

"I don't know." Di Daying replied, and when Tang Lu pointed to the mute and asked him, he replied categorically.

In fact, he had seen the mute a long time ago, and it was estimated that the mute was complaining again, and he was beaten and was dying, just as Lao Di said, Di Daying did not recognize Di Daxiong as his younger brother.

Tang Lu secretly admired Lao Di's judgment, in the face of interests, people's humanity is undoubtedly revealed, for the sake of petty profits, they dare to risk killing their heads to try, such a desperate risk is commonplace, and it is not strange.

"I really don't know?" Tang Lu asked, wanting to give him a chance.

"Seriously."

"Okay, let's go!" Tang Lu said.

"Really?"

"This official never breaks his word, let you go, you will leave, not everyone will be beaten when they go to court." Tang Lu said, "Obedient people will not be beaten, and disobedient people will open their buttocks." ”

Hearing this, he didn't feel any emotion to Di Daying, he thought to himself, just don't admit it, so as not to share the family property, I am not so stupid. If I'm stupid, I'm not human. After all, you have to live in harmony with money, if you don't love money, you can't have money, and if you don't have money, you can't let ghosts grind. Big money can make big ghosts grind, small money can make small ghosts grind, without money, you can't call any ghosts to grind, but you will be ridiculed and tortured by ghosts.

He thanked him and withdrew.

Everyone looked at each other and couldn't do anything.

Lao Di was present, and Tang Lu asked him: "Sure enough, I don't admit it, but Di Lao has foresight and vision." ”

"It's human nature. Lao Yu watched the two of them grow up, and who knew what his personality was like Lao Yu knew best. Just now he clearly saw that the dumb man was present, he hesitated for a moment, and immediately pretended to be calm, he also saw the old man present, and he also pretended not to know, it can be seen that his conscience has already fed the wild dog, his heart is a wolf's heart, his lungs are dog lungs, and nothing is good. Lao Di said.

"Then, the next step is to deal with him. I don't know if Di Lao understands the dumb words of the mute Di Daxiong? If you understand, you can translate it, okay? Tang Lu asked.

"I know a little bit, strictly speaking, Lao Yu has not learned dumb language professionally, but he is with Di Daxiong, and he understands what he means better than others, if Lao Yu helps, of course Lao Yu can't shirk it." Lao Di said.

"That's good. The official wanted Di Daxiong to do something, and asked Di Lao to translate it for him, so that he could understand what the official meant. Tang Lu said.

"Okay, please!"

"Di Daxiong, your brother has seized the property that should belong to you, and the official already knows that the official will support you and want your property back, but you have to cooperate with the official to do one thing, I don't know if you are willing?" Tang Lu said.

Di Daxiong looked at Tang Lu's mouth moving, and didn't know what he was talking about, but he understood some meaning from the change of his lips, Tang Lu made a gesture to Lao Di, and Lao Di immediately understood, and immediately translated it to Di Daxiong, using gestures.

Di Daxiong nodded, meaning to understand, he knew very well that this was to let him do things, to help him get back his family property.

"You go and deliberately beat up your brother Di Daying. It's better to beat him to the head, but not to kill him. Clear? No matter what kind of beating you do, first make sure you are safe, and don't let the small be a big one. You beat him, no matter what you lose, don't fall in love, fight quickly, and then wait for the news later. You can only do it with confidence, and the official will make the decision for you. Tang Lu said.

Tang Lu looked at Lao Di and said, "Please ask Lao Di to translate for him." ”

Di Lao translated the meaning of Tang Lu to Di Daxiong. Di Daxiong's eyes widened and looked at Tang Lu, Tang Lu was very serious and nodded, his eyes full of light expecting success.

Di Daxiong nodded, and screamed in his mouth, which means that he understands, rest assured, translated by Lao Di, and it really means that. Sure enough, those who have not learned dumb language will also guess the meaning of dumbness. This is probably the best translator.

The mute Di Daxiong understood what Tang Lu meant, so he left the court, and Lao Di left with him.

Soon after Lao Di returned to the village, he heard that Di Daxiong had beaten Di Daying.

Everyone was watching the excitement, but no one stepped forward to help.

One or two stepped forward to pull the frame, which was also a bias frame, obviously standing on Di Daxiong's side, and took the opportunity to kick Di Daying, Di Daying is a hero, and it is difficult to defeat so many hands and feet, obviously suffered a loss, and there is no way to reason, I don't know who moved the hand, the start of the fight was one-on-one, and the result was many to one, he naturally broke his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach.

The people who pulled the bias frame all looked at Di Daxiong, as long as Di Daxiong didn't fight, they would stop, Di Daxiong had a very good set of fighting, specializing in hitting the position of the pain but not hurting the vital organs, and also, the head breaking the blood flow is the ultimate goal, and if it is reached, it will be withdrawn, and the heat should be grasped accurately, and the proportion should be grasped properly.

Di Daying couldn't swallow this breath, this Di Daxiong came prepared, there were so many accomplices! It's nominally a fight, but it's actually a fight, this breath is really hard to swallow, he thinks, this is an unhealthy trend, it must be corrected, originally the hatred of the rich in the village is serious, many people look at the rich and red-eyed, always rumors behind their backs, saying that they are wrong, always hope that I am unlucky, I am not unlucky, this fighting Di Daxiong should be severely punished, it is best to let him go to prison or send to the frontier, as long as he goes, this property will be completely mine. He is likely to die on the frontier, so I will take this property to myself.

The best result is this, no matter what, is to severely punish this unhealthy trend, otherwise, I will not be able to raise my head in the village, and people will look down on me or my family when they see me, even if I am very rich, I have no status. No matter how rich a person is, as long as he doesn't ask for it, his status is generally high, and there is no difference.

Di Daying arrived at the county office and beat the drum violently, like a great enemy, Tang Lu ascended to the hall, and at first glance it turned out to be an acquaintance, but he pretended not to know him, and tried it step by step, so that he could also taste the consequences of arrogance.

"Who is the one who kneels?" Tang Lu asked.

"Little Di Daying."

"Who's the accusator?"

"Sue Di Daxiong."

"Who is Di Daxiong?"

"Di Daxiong is the younger brother."

"Really?"

"Really, my lord, Di Daxiong is the younger brother, the younger one is named Di Daying, and the younger brother is named Di Daxiong. Generally, only the names of brothers are so similar. They are all big characters, and he is two years younger than the youngest. Di Daying said.

"Not necessarily! Cousins are also named according to the word school, he is your cousin, and he can also be called Di Daxiong, right? ”

"No, my lord, Di Daxiong's is indeed my younger brother, my own brother!" Di Daying said.

"Okay, Shuli, just make a note of this. Di Daying, this official asks you, what do you sue your brother? Tang Lu asked.

"Adult, the younger brother sues the younger brother for not respecting the law of etiquette, committing the following crimes, going against the morals, beating his brother, ignoring the law of etiquette, regardless of the clan relatives, and not remembering family affection." Di Daying said.

"Di Daying, have you written a good statement? If it's written, submit it. Tang Lu asked.

"This, no, I didn't write it, I didn't write it, I didn't write it." Di Daying said.

"If you didn't write a complaint, which one did you sue for? Let's go back! Tang Lu said.

Di Daying was anxious when he heard this, and said again and again: "My lord, it's not easy for the little one to come to the court, so I want to sue first, and then add a complaint and hand it in later, I don't know if the adult will allow it?" ”

"In this way, it seems that you can't hang your face when you go back, because you want to come to sue, but the result is not accurate, that is, you are really embarrassed that you did not file a case. If this is the case, then the official will fulfill you, the county has a book, you can draft a petition, after you read it, sign it is the same, what do you think? After all, it's for you, if you go back and find someone to write a letter, seeing that you are so rich, people are not necessarily reluctant to ask for money, you have to give, if you don't want to, then forget it. You go your way, and others continue to write for others, and the two do not disturb each other, each doing its own thing, and each is well. You can't influence others, and others can't influence you, don't you think that's the truth? Tang Lu asked.

"That's true, my lord really has insight into people's hearts and people's feelings, and understands the situation here very well, thank you, thank you very much! The small one began to speak, and the book can be recorded, and the small one will be signed after it is finished. Di Daying said.

Then, Di Daying described how Di Daxiong came to beat him, and the book was recorded next to it, just like a dragon flying and phoenix dancing, it was quickly written, and then handed over to Di Daying to sign, Di Daying read the situation, there was nothing to change, it was very complete. He signed and signed it, and then handed it to Tang Lu.

When Tang Lu saw this, he immediately thought of a plan.

He said softly: "If Di Daxiong is Di Daying's own brother, he will commit the crime of disobedience, the crime is not small, the punishment is not light, he must be severely punished, and he will be sent to the frontier in a serious way, and he will never return it." If it's not a younger brother, just an ordinary outsider, then it's just a brawl, it's not serious, just reprimand and reprimand, and fine some money. As if talking to himself, and as if he was discussing with the master, the master touched the beard on his chin and nodded, meaning to agree with Tang Lu's judgment and sentencing. However, these words were heard by Di Daying, who was also a keen ear.

He immediately said: "My lord, my lord, the form was written just now, and the little one also admitted it verbally, now I want to reiterate that Di Daxiong is the younger brother, the real brother, just this one brother, there is no second one, not a cousin, but a brother." My lord! ”

When Tang Lu heard this, his eyebrows were upside down, his eyes were wide open, as if anger was coming out of his eyes, and he shouted: "Di Daying, you are so bold!" Since Di Daxiong is your own brother, why don't you give him the family wealth? How can your parents live in peace in the spirit of heaven? Are your promises like farts? What is your purpose? Do you want to squeeze out Di Daxiong and then seize the family property left by your father alone? Say, isn't that so? ”

"My lord, my lord, it's not like this, it's not like this, Di Daying is not such a person, Di Daxiong's family property is all with Di Daying, and the small one is to divide the family and property when he gets married. He hasn't been married for a long time, how can the little one be given to him? What if someone cheats you? Di Daying quibbled.

"Nonsense, you're the biggest liar. What is your explanation for the fact that you have usurped his property and refused to give it to him, and that he keeps complaining? Tang Lu asked.
