"What your Excellency said is absolutely true. From now on, I must abide by the rules and not bully honest people. To be honest, my son is very good. It is difficult to find him in the world. He is filial and considerate. It is all nonsense of an old man. Fortunately, I met Mr. Qingtian. For
Lao Chen's son upholds justice, and Lao Chen admires him very much. In the future, Lao Chen will definitely preach your virtues and wisdom in judging cases, which will really open his eyes." said Mr. Qiao.
"It's not necessary, this is part of the job. You living in harmony is the purpose of this trial. After all, you have been living together for a long time. If you become enemies and outsiders laugh at it, it will not be conducive to the establishment of local public order and good customs. If it spreads,
It will have an impact on your reputation and the reputation of the local people. In order to eliminate these impacts, this judgment must be done. Through such a case, people can understand some principles and laws, and stop taking the law by their own example.
Lest you bring shame on yourself." Jin Shan said.
After Jin Shan finished speaking, he announced his resignation. After Qiao and his son signed the transcript, they went back and lived a good life. Father and son were still father and son, and everyone was happy. After this lesson, Mr. Qiao learned well and no longer dared to talk nonsense.
Making trouble out of nothing will be the end of it unless you meet a good person. My son also learned something, that is, he must have the courage to admit what he has done and dare to deny what he has not done. He must have courage when speaking and don't be too indecisive.
Don't be too gentle, just say no when you need to say no, and do whatever you need to do.
As soon as they left, someone started beating drums. As soon as Jin Shan was reading in the backyard study, he heard the sound of drums. Who was this? Jin Shan was used to this kind of lifestyle. Sometimes, he really envied Tang Lu because of his fierceness.
, because of freedom, you can do whatever you want, unlike being a county magistrate, where you have to do it, and you can do it if you don’t want to.
The drummer was a vendor selling dates from Zaoyang County to Laohekou County, passing through Dengcheng in the middle.
The hawker's last name is "Hong Zhao", which means "Hong Zhao".
After Hong Zhao played the drum, he was taken to the court.
At this time, Jin Shan had already sat down, leaned forward and asked, "Who is kneeling?"
"Hongzhao, a small citizen. A native of Laohekou."
"Who are you suing? Why are you suing?" Jin Shan asked.
"Xiaomin sued the blind man, whose name he didn't know. He accused him of stealing money. Xiaomin suspected that he had stolen Xiaomin's money. Xiaomin's money was money from selling dates. He was preparing to go home and live in an inn here in Dengcheng.
, I didn’t expect to be robbed." Hong Zhaoyan said.
"What's going on? You mean, the blind man stole your money?" Jin Shan asked.
"Yes, Xiaomin's money was stolen by a blind man, oh, no, a blind man."
"You mean, the blind man stole your money?" Jin Shan asked.
"Yes, blind man, the blind man stole the money of the common people." Hong Zhaoyan said.
"Why are you so sure that the blind man stole your money?" Jin Shan asked.
"It's like this, sir! I passed by Dengcheng. It was getting late and I needed to rest. I continued on my way the next day. When I arrived at an inn, it was full. The waiter had no place to arrange it, so I asked him to share the room with others.
In a room. This room is also rare. I thought, it would be nice to have a place to sleep, so I wouldn’t have to sleep on the street! I had no choice but to agree, but who knew the conditions of this room were really bad." Hong Zhaoyan said.
"So did you finally move in?"
"Definitely settled in."
"With the blind man?"
"Yes, I shared a room with a blind man. It was said to be a room, but in fact it was not a formal room. It was a side room, very simple. There was a blind man in there. He said that when he came, it was quite late and it was full.
I still begged the waiter, and the waiter showed kindness and let the blind man stay. Otherwise, the blind person would have to sleep on the street. The waiter showed compassion, that is, kindness. Seeing that the blind man was lonely and pitiful, he let him stay.
Yes, the blind man is very grateful." Hong Zhaoyan said.
"Come here, go and catch the blind man." Jin Shan ordered, throwing out a stick.
The police officer received the warrant and went to the inn to arrest the man.
The waiter in the store knew that there had been a theft and that the customer had lost his money. The waiter was panic-stricken and didn't know what was going on.
When the waiter saw that the arrest was coming, he asked, "Why are the officials here?"
"Arrest people!"
"Catch who?"
"blind."
"Oh, please come with me." The waiter said, leading the policeman to the side room.
I saw the blind man touching around his waist. He didn't know what he was touching. It didn't look like a belt.
When he felt someone coming in, he stopped groping.
Question: "Is it the waiter? Can I go?"
"Sir, I can't leave now. I need to go to the county government office." the waiter said.
"Why are you going to the county government office?" the blind man asked.
"Don't you know? Someone filed a complaint," the waiter said.
"Did the date seller who lived with me sue me?" the blind man asked.
"You can't see, but you are still very smart and thoughtful. Yes, it is the date seller. He has a name and a surname. How can you call him a date seller? You are blind and can't see, so they call you blind.
,Are you happy?" the waiter said.
"Boy, boss, you are the future boss. You are right to criticize me, but I am wrong. I cannot see with my eyes, but I am obedient and listen to sounds. I can see more clearly and further than a person with sight. My ears can complete the task for me. I
His name is Blind Eyes and Ears Ling, and his name is He Mo." said the blind man.
"He Mo? This name is interesting. Why do you call it this name?" the waiter asked.
"It was given by my parents. Originally, there was a brother at the top, called pen, and two brothers at the bottom, one called paper and the other called inkstone. In other words, the four brothers, except He Mo and me, were all pens, inks, paper and inkstones.
The eyes can see, the ears can hear, the mouth can tell the truth, and the brain can be active and constantly exploring." He Mo said.
"Yes, it seems that you have been studying a lot, haven't you?"
"Do you think I can read?" He Mo asked.
"I'm kidding. It's said that some people can touch books," the waiter said.
"It's impossible to touch books, but it's almost impossible to touch money."
"What? Touch money?" the waiter said.
"It's so hot today! Aren't you going to invite me to the county government office? Where are the people?" He Mo realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly changed the subject.
He heard these arrests soon, and based on his usual experience in handling cases, he knew that this blind man must be good.
So he asked: "Are you the blind man who stayed with the date seller for one night?"
"Who are you?"
"We are agents!"
"Oh, he's from the government."
"We have been ordered to arrest you, please cooperate with us and leave," the policeman said.
"Let's just go. Didn't the waiter in the shop ask questions just now? Let's go now. Let's go right now." He Mo said.
"Are you He Mo?" the policeman asked.
"Yes, I am. The person who stayed in the same room with me last night suddenly left today, and then you came. I can only obey orders and do as I am told." He Mo said.
"Remind me again, we are following orders. Please go to the county government office. If you make a mistake, you can tell the county magistrate directly after a while, and the county magistrate will definitely uphold justice for you." The policeman said.
"Okay, let's go, let's go! You lead the way." He Mo said, and then touched something similar to a belt around his waist.
"Waiter, please take care of my things first. I'll pick them up when it's over. Thank you!" He Mo raised his voice and said to the waiter.
The waiter agreed and said bitterly: "Don't be complacent yet. If I hadn't been watching you, you would have run away. You ran away, but I have to carry the pot on my back. How can that be okay?"
"Boy, don't say bad things about me behind my back. I have a good ear. I can hear a pin drop in your shop," He Mo said.
When the waiter heard this, he was startled, stuck out his tongue, and went to work quickly.
He Mo was taken to the county government hall.
He was led to a place and then ordered to kneel down. He Mo felt the atmosphere in the court, which was solemn and solemn. He knew that every word he said must be considered with consequences, because many people knew what was said in the court.
It has to be recorded, signed and pledged, and kept for reference so that it can still be seen many years later.
"Who is kneeling?"
Jin Shan shouted.
"mighty--"
The powerful bass echoed in the lobby, making He Mo's body tremble involuntarily.
"Little man, little man, oh, no, no, the little man's name is He Mo."
"This name is very interesting."
"Xiao Min is the second eldest son in the family. He has four sons, pen, ink, paper and inkstone. The second character is ink, and his surname is He, so he was named that way." He Moyan said.
The police officer gave Jin Shan a hint. Jin Shan knew it and left the courtroom, went to a place far away from the courtroom, and then found a place where the cicadas screamed loudly and happily. They also lowered their voices when talking.
As soon as Jin Shan saw the policeman's gesture, he knew that he had something to discuss and had to avoid the blind man. Jin Shan also knew that the blind man's hearing was very good, and he could hear his whispers clearly.
"What's up?"
"When we captured He Mo just now, he said he could touch him," the policeman said.
"That's for sure. The blind man's touch and hearing are better than those of normal people. What else do you hear?" Jin Shan asked.
"Yes, he said he could touch money." said the police officer. "When he started talking to the waiter, he didn't know we were there, so he said he could touch things in the dark, and the things he touched were very accurate. Who knew he
In the end, he said the wrong thing, which was to touch money. When he realized that he had made a mistake, he immediately changed the subject," the policeman said.
"Okay, I understand. You are very careful, which is the quality of a police officer. Very good!" Jin Shan said.
"That's a compliment, sir. The younger one still needs to improve."
"Go back and continue the trial. If it takes too long, it will arouse their suspicion." Jin Shan said.
Then walking back, Jin Shan already knew what to do next.
"Hong Zhao, tell me, do you know the blind man in front of you?" After Jin Shan sat down, he began to ask the date seller.
"Let me tell you, sir, this blind man lives in the inn with the common people, that is, in a side room." Hong Zhaoyan said.
"He Mo, is this true?" Jin Shan asked.
"Sir, I've never seen this man before, but the voice sounds like him!" He Moyan said.
"Well, then, He Mo, tell me, did you steal Hong Zhao's money? Tell the truth." Jin Shan said.
"Sir, I have never seen Hong Zhao bring money to stay in a hotel." He Moyan said.
"Sir, that's not the case. When Xiaomin arrived at the inn, He Mo had been arranged to live in a side room by the waiter, but he did not fall asleep and was still awake. When Xiaomin saw that the room was not in good condition and he was living with a blind man, he felt
I was a little panicked because Xiaomin had money with him. The waiter at the store said it was okay and he would not be in the way. This blind man was not like a thief and could not steal. Therefore, when Xiaomin said this, he was doubtful. He really had nowhere to go.
We can only make do with it for one night and leave on our way the next day." Hong Zhaoyan said.
"When did you realize the money was missing?"
"Early the next morning, when the sky was bright and clear, Xiaomin was about to go on his way. Who knew that when he touched his money bag, it turned out to be empty. Xiaomin shouted that something was wrong, there was a thief. This alarmed many people, including the waiter in the shop, who came to check.
." Hong Zhaoyan said.
"What should we do?"
"The waiter asked other passengers to go back to their rooms. The waiter asked He Mo, but He Mo refused to admit it," Hong Zhaoyan said.
"Is this the case, He Mo?" Jin Shan asked.
"Yes, it wasn't stolen by a blind man. Why do you have to admit it? The younger one is blind and can't see anything. How could he steal money?" He Mo asked rhetorically.
"He Mo, you said you didn't steal any money, so do you have any money?" Jin Shan asked.
"My lord, I am out of town. Although I can't see, I do things fairly. I never default on money and I don't accept alms from others casually. My eyes are not good, but my heart is bright." He Mo said.
"So, how much money did you bring with you when you went out?" Jin Shan asked.
"5,000 copper coins." He Mo said.
"Sir, that amount just matches the amount of money stolen by the common people. Please take a closer look," Hong Zhaoyan said.
"What a coincidence! It seems that one of you must have lied." Jin Shan said.
"Sir, that money is the hard-earned money of ordinary people. It is the payment for selling goods. The whole family depends on this money to live." Hong Zhaoyan said.
"Master, Hong Zhao is not well-intentioned. He looks pretty good, like a good guy, but he is actually a bad guy. He wants to blackmail me and take away my money. He attacks a blind man. It can be said that he has a bad conscience. Such a person
I won't die well." He Mo said.
"He Mo, how can you speak like this in court? Everything you say will be recorded and kept for a long time. If you speak like this, be careful that you will be found to have bad records. Then no one can help you.
"Jin Shan said.
"I'm sorry, sir, I'm too angry. I actually made a mistake on a blind man. I really don't have good intentions and I'm not afraid of retribution. I'm too angry, that's why I said this, please forgive me." He Mo said.
"It's not you who wants me to forgive you, it's you who wants accuser Hong Zhao to forgive you," Jin Shan said.
"Okay, I'm sorry, Hong Zhao."
"It's no use just apologizing. Give me my money back! Stop fooling around!" Hong Zhaoyan said.
"You're here again! Do you still want to be scolded?" He Mo said angrily.
Seeing He Mo's performance, Jin Shan felt funny in his heart but serious on his face.
"He Mo, you said you didn't take his money. You said you have money. Does your money have any characteristics?" Jin Shan asked.
"What characteristics?"
"The money is yours. You should be deeply impressed. What is on the money should be very clear. Do you remember what is on your money? If you remember, it can prove that the money is yours. Otherwise, it will be difficult to support you.
Do you understand the explanation?" Jin Shan asked.
