"Lai Piju, do you think so? The current evidence can't prove that you are Yao Niyang's father, you are a fake, say, isn't it? Tang Lu asked sharply.

When I heard this, I was very frightened, frightened, and shrunk into a ball, and there was no longer the arrogance I had just now.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, please forgive me, spare my life! Xiao Lao'er is old and helpless, poor, and poor thinks, so he thought of this method to blackmail Yao Niyang, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating, Xiao Lao'er is not Yao Niyang's father, not even a relative, please spare your life, Xiao Lao'er no longer dares to recognize his son. ”

"Then tell me the truth, do you have a son?"

"Lord Qiyu, Xiao Lao'er has two sons."

"If you have a son, why do you want to recognize a son?"

"Lord Qiyu, don't hide it, the little old man has no way to teach his son, although he raised two sons and raised them to grow up, they don't care about the little old man's pension, they all push the little old man, no one wants to raise it, the little old man really has no choice, seeing Yao Niyang bury his father, the little old man is very moved, I think this kid is really good, just dead father, if I go to him to be a father, one can make up for his regret of not having a father, the second little old man can also find a place to stay, can be a good pension. If you can do it, stay there, if you can't do it, you can only find a way, you just want to gamble. Who knew that the bet would be lost! Lai Pi said.

"Then is it true that what happened to you in the charlatans?"

"Lord Qiyu, it's all fake, the little old man was disobedient when he was young, he didn't listen to his father's words to learn a craft, he just lived by working for others, he didn't think about changing himself, he thought that he had strength, he could earn money to support himself, but he didn't expect that as soon as he got old, he had no strength, and it was difficult to get old. It's hard to get old! Lai Pi said.

"You're suing the wrong person!" Tang Lu said.

"Little Lao'er miscalculated. That's right, pray that the adults will help the little old man solve it. Having said that, this is Yao Niyang's proposal to solve this problem through adults, Yao Niyang is very smart, and he knows that adults are very wise to solve this problem. ”

"It seems that Yao Niyang is smarter than you. This official is not smart, but he understands a truth, that is, there is no love for no reason, and there is no hate for no reason. You didn't raise Yao Niyang, but you came to recognize your son and asked him to support him, you raised two sons, but the two biological sons don't support you, if you want to sue, just sue your own son, if you don't sue, don't sue, you can find a way out, if you can't find a way out, there is no way. To sue or not to sue, it's all your right, if you want to sue, you have to sue about you, sue has nothing to do with you, that's useless, is it clear? Tang Lu said.

"It's clear, that little old man is going to sue at this time, sue those two unfilial sons." Lai Pi said.

"That's a new case, you go down and write the case first, and then come back! This time the lawsuit is wrong, the official will not hold you accountable, and remember that you are old and ignorant, and it will be regarded as a lesson, and after you go down, you should write a good statement, otherwise, you will not be able to accept it, your case will not be solved, and your difficulties will not be solved. Do you understand? You have to show the right attitude to solve the problem, and you can't rely on fishing in troubled waters to achieve your goals, especially when it comes to personal rights. Do you understand? ”

"Understood, thank you for your advice." Lai Pi said.

"As for your goal, the official also knows that you just want to get money, and then get some land, and if you have a son, you will have these, you will take the risk to recognize it, try your luck, if you succeed, you don't have to worry about your old age, if you don't succeed, it doesn't matter, you know that the official will not embarrass the old man. That's your wishful thinking, isn't it? Tang Lu asked.

"Yes, adults have clear insight and know everything, that's how the little old man thinks. I was ashamed to be seen through by adults, and I was ashamed! Lai Pi said.

"You go and prepare a complaint, and then beat the drum to complain, the official will administer justice for you, so that you can take care of your old age, if you don't have a son, the old people's hall will support you, and the official will not let you die on the streets." Tang Lu said.

"Thank you, Lord Qingtian! You are really a parental official, thinking about the little people everywhere. Lai Pi said.

"There is no need to thank you, this is what this official should do, and it is not enough to worry about it." Tang Lu said.

Yao Niyang also expressed his gratitude! The people who came to attend the hearing also praised each other. With a long sigh of relief, it can be regarded as a complete understanding of the ins and outs of the father's recognition of his son, and since then it has become a rich resource, and anyone who meets him can take it out and talk about it, proving that he has talent, experience, and knowledge, and it is no problem to show off and show off, so as to enhance his prestige. To be the envy of everyone, this is to reach the pinnacle of life.

Tang Lu instructed to sign the interrogation record and then leave the court.

Through the governance of Tang Law, Gucheng County is a peaceful scene, and it is really a road that is not forgotten, and there is no loss of property at night.

At the junction of Gucheng and Laohekou County, within the jurisdiction of Gucheng, there is a family, the hall house is in Gucheng County, and the yard is Laohekou, and later they voluntarily joined Gucheng County and became residents of Gucheng County.

Originally, there was very little theft time in Gucheng, because theft was a case of rats crossing the street and everyone shouted and beaten, and they were all hated, but I encountered such a case.

The family had been hit by a burglary.

So he reported to the official, because he was closer to the Laohekou County Ya, he did not go to Laohekou, because he belonged to the jurisdiction of Gucheng County, and he trusted Tang Lu very much, so he went to the Gucheng County Ya to beat the drum and complain.

But he didn't know who to sue, so Tang Lu took the catcher to his house to see what was going on.

After careful investigation of the scene, some clues were found, and the means of committing the crime were also commonly used, and it seemed that the perpetrator was not tall and good at drilling holes. The doors and windows are all good, and the thief got into it from the dog's hole, is there a way to shrink the bones?

However, this is a special skill that the average thief does not have. I haven't heard of anyone on the rivers and lakes who will shrink bones. This kung fu has been lost for many years, if anyone knows this kung fu, it is a strange person in the world, many places need such talents, especially in the life-saving industry, for those who encounter dangerous difficulties, you can help, through the bone reduction gong, you can go to a very narrow space to rescue people.

Tang Lu thought to himself, for those thieves, we must prevent the return to the old business, because there is no other industry that is so profitable.

Encourage farming, however, there are people who are afraid of hardship, afraid of contribution, but unwilling to farm, tired and tired, no choice but to change careers to do something else, what is the best? It is to be a thief. This money comes quickly, people are relaxed, and they are not tired.

Once the thief washes his hands, he will repeat and come back, because the happiness of the thief is based on the joy of successful theft, which is inexplicable, and there will be no breakthrough if the profession has been decided.

That is to say, it is very necessary for some thieves in Gucheng County to clean up at one time, and all the thieves who have been documented are worthy of suspicion, so they should be questioned separately and make corresponding arrangements. Investigate one by one and finally determine the real culprit.

Generally speaking, only those who have committed sins will dream of sinning, and no one else has experienced sin, so they do not have this impression, they used to be thieves, and they also dreamed of being thieves, and when they were awake, they would also recall their previous deeds, and feel that they had done bad things, which should be condemned, but they immediately felt proud of their actions, felt that they were very brave, and dared to do things that others did not dare to do.

After this short-term pride, he regretted and felt guilty, but after a while, he began to be proud again, and he felt that he was amazing, Tang Lu felt that he should start to investigate from people with criminal records, expand the scope, and start with those who are often idle, looking for a breakthrough, maybe find the right person from these nets, that is, Skynet will be restored and negligent, and people who commit adultery can always be found.

So, Tang Lu started to investigate from this direction, and he issued an arrest warrant, detaining those who had a criminal record and those who were idle and waiting for trial.

Back to Gucheng County, he looked at the people who were arrested, tall, short, fat and thin, very lively, above the lobby, there was almost no place to kneel, everyone was gossiping, all of them were trying to prove that they didn't do it, trying to shout that they were innocent, they must have caught the wrong thing, they ran away that they should have been caught, and they were also arrested if they shouldn't have been caught.

The more this is the case, the more calm Tang Lu is, if you want to thoroughly investigate the case, you need guts, skills, and wisdom, all of which are indispensable.

"Wronged! Treat unjustly! ”

"My lord, I've washed my hands in a golden basin, why are you arresting me again!"

"You must be mistaken, I haven't stolen anything in ten years."

"You are abusing public power, it is a bend of the law for personal gain, you are committing a crime!"

"What are you doing? Is it forced to be a prostitute? Or is it forced to go to Liangshan? Does this still have to be lived? ”

"I've never dared to sin, so why did I become a thief?"

"I don't have a regular job, but I'm trying to find a job! What's going on? If you say it's closed, you can say it's closed, and if you say it's sentenced, you can judge it? Is there still a royal law? ”

"Is there still a royal law? It's just lawless! You jumping clowns, how long will you have to toss? ”

"You guys are so idle, why aren't you normal? Can you do some personnel with a little human touch? ”

"Do you still want people to live?"

"Hurry up and judge! When the trial is over, let me go home! ”

There are also painful runny noses, tears and snot everywhere, and some keep shouting Lord Qingtian, in short, no one takes the initiative to admit that they are thieves.

Tang Lu had been listening, silent, smiling, he looked at all the suspects, keeping a smiling expression, his eyes were very powerful, like the eyes of an eagle.

He said gently, "Don't be impatient, everyone, the reason why I invite you here is that the thieves are among you." ”

As soon as his words fell, everyone looked at each other, full of doubts, this is blackmail, right? How did he know? Must there be thieves? And the thieves must be among them?

Tang Lu made a gesture and continued: "The thief is among you, and the official knows, but it is not the official who comes to tell you who is the real thief. If you are wronged, go to the Cheng'en Temple near your local area, where there is a big bell. Some years, but also very aura, a lot of strange cases, the official can't crack it, to Cheng'en Temple, to ask the big bell, it will be solved, the official trusts this bell very much. In order to clear your innocence and not let you be wronged, the official went to ask the bell who is the thief and who is innocent, let the bell come and find out. Because this bell is very magical, good at distinguishing right from wrong, able to accurately identify good and bad, if anyone does something bad, touch the clock, the bell will sound, make a knocking sound, no need to knock to make a sound, on the contrary, if you don't do bad things, no matter how you touch this big bell, it will be fine. If you don't do anything bad, the bell won't ring, and if you do something bad, the bell will ring. Who is the thief, please go to Cheng'en Temple and touch the bell to know the answer. The case will come to light. ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, they didn't know what to say, and they couldn't take their turn to speak, even if 10,000 were unwilling, or thought it was unreliable, there was no way.

I saw Tang Lu wave his hand, and the crowd quickly escorted everyone to Cheng'en Temple together with all the officials.

When they arrived at Cheng'en Temple, the monks saw that these people were really strange people, that is, they were not ordinary people, they all seemed to be on the rivers and lakes, not ordinary people, people who were accustomed to working and living step by step, even after years of changes, they could still see some traces, and they could reveal some of their secrets from a gesture.

For the old monks, it is more accurate to see them. For the little monk, there is still some need for improvement.

Ability is not improved in theory, it needs to be improved in practice, and regular practice will lead to progress. This view of people is also one aspect of this. The monk closes his eyes and can see through the eyes of the heart.

Tang Lu asked the monks to avoid it, and when they arrived at the bell tower, they asked the officials to arrange the incense burner, and lit the high-grade incense in the incense burner, which was full of smoke, Tang Lu took the crowd to catch the fast and the officials and other civil officials, knelt down to the big bell three times and bowed nine times, very pious, respectful to the spirit of the big bell, and did not dare to have the slightest slackness, ten million times more pious than those good men and women, there were words in their mouths, and they didn't know what they were muttering, in short, some words of prayer, as if they were seeking some guidance, so that everyone could see that they were afraid in vain.

After the Tang Lu sacrifice was completed, he ordered the bell to be wrapped, that is, to wrap the bell tightly with a huge curtain, like a huge curtain tent, surrounding the bell, impermeable to the wind, and no light was seen.

After everything was ready, Tang Lu commanded in a loud voice: "Okay, now, this official orders you to enter the curtain one by one, circle around the big bell, and then walk out of the curtain, and after entering the curtain, start touching the bell." There must be no mistakes. ”

In order to prove their innocence, the suspects are eager to go in and try it.

I saw them fish in and out one by one. After coming out of the curtain, he stood aside respectfully, waiting for Tang Lu's next instructions, not knowing if he could find the thief, everyone waited and saw if there were any thieves among them, and if so, who was this hidden thief?
