At this time, Baston was still bragging: "Come on, come on, come on, come on, I don't believe that a weak scholar like you can drink from a wine barrel like mine. Come on! Come on! Whoever gets down first will be the grandson! It's so annoying
How dare you change the package! You still don’t admit it after the package was changed, it really pisses me off!”
The angrier he gets, the more he drinks, and the more he drinks, the angrier he gets. The crowd below looks on with joy, and he drinks in shock.
Soon, after finishing the three large bottles of wine, I looked at Baston again. He was so drunk that he was slumped under the table and had slipped down the stool.
Li Li took a look and wondered, what else could this be compared to? Looking at Lawyer Tang, his face remained calm and his heart was not beating, as if he was drinking water instead of wine. However, it was clearly coming out of a pot, could it be fake?
Many outsiders from the Western Regions were present, and they all witnessed this fact. The real drinker is the master, not the cover-up. The wine judge adheres to the principle of fairness and justice, and has no choice but to announce that the champion of the drinking competition is Tang Lu, and Baston loses.
.
The wine commander announced the result. Li Li could only award the porcelain Guanyin to Chengen Temple, and everyone had no objection.
The people dispersed, but Baston was still sleeping, snoring loudly. He was carried back to the guild hall by his fellow villagers, and he woke up three days later. After knowing the whole story, he shouted that he had been deceived. Drinking is a waste of time. Drinking is a waste of time!
It’s strange. I can easily win three bottles of wine this time, but this time I lost to a white-faced scholar. Could it be that the wine is fake? No! The wine made this barrel drunk and the white-faced scholar was fine. This is
What's going on?
He was puzzled. Chengen Temple here invited Tang Lv to go there and hosted a banquet for Tang Lv. Of course, it was all vegetarian and very sumptuous.
During the banquet, the abbot asked Tang Lu: "May I ask Master, why do you feel fine drinking? Look at the guy with the nickname Baston, the wine barrel, who is actually drunk. What is going on?"
"This is simple. You only need to make a simple modification to the hip flask. This kind of flask is a sandwich flask, with two layers inside and outside. From the outside, it looks the same as a normal flask, not much different, but the trick is there
The spout of the wine pot. The spout is connected to the inner and outer layers. If you press the small hole on the top, only water can be poured out. If the hole for pouring wine is sucked tightly, no more wine can be poured out. Similarly, if you press the hole on the bottom, water can be poured out.
hole, the water will be sucked tightly, and only the wine can be poured out, but not the water. In fact, when pouring the wine, it is my apprentice, running forward and backward diligently, I know, the apprentice knows, it is Baston who can’t pour out the wine.
He knew it, but his fellow villagers didn't know it, and the onlookers didn't know it either. Even the county magistrate and the wine commander didn't know it. In this competition, Baston was destined to lose. Because he didn't understand that there were actually skills in drinking that couldn't be used.
Brute force, he looked down on the white-faced scholar, he had already lost one round, he was arrogant, he lost the second round, and in the end he risked his life when he was caught drinking. This was a mess, he lost the third round, and after three rounds, he was already
There is no way to save him, and the jug has a hidden trap, so it would be strange if he doesn't lose completely." Tang Luyan said.
"Hahaha, that's it! It's so high! Master is indeed a master! Kong Ming is really better than Zhuge in this world! It seems that this porcelain Guanyin has been 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 and can adapt to the changing circumstances. Without his help, it would be more difficult to achieve the goal." Tang Luyan said.
The abbot smiled at Huitong and said, "The future generations are to be feared! You will definitely be successful in the future!"
Everyone laughed.
After having had enough wine and food, Tang Lu left Chengen Temple and headed back home.
Huitong proposed to study with Tang Lv for a period of time. Tang Lv originally refused to accept it because he was used to being free and did not like to lead apprentices or teach students. If he led apprentices or taught students, it would affect his own life.
Of course, if you don’t have much time and don’t spend much time and energy, you can also consider it and decisively allow it if you meet outstanding talents.
"As the saying goes, joy, anger, sorrow, and joy manifest themselves in color. This sentence makes sense." Tang Lu said.
"What's the meaning?"
"That is to say, a person's mental state can be expressed through facial expressions. You don't feel it, but others can see it. If you don't want to see it, of course they can't. It is the so-called blindness. You can obviously see, but you choose to
If you don't look, such people are blind. You see, there are many people like this now," Tang Lu said.
"This is true. Many people are like this. The more mature you are, the better you are at pretending. Children don't know how to pretend. They cry when they should cry and laugh when they should laugh."
"Yes, you understand well. As people grow older, they become more confused and dare not express their opinions. Because they are worried about being rejected," Tang Lu said.
"Master, tell me, what can best express a person's true thoughts and ideas?" Huitong asked.
"Crying and laughing, of course."
"There are many kinds of crying and laughing, right?" Huitong asked.
"Yes. All kinds of crying and laughing express people's various emotions, inner feelings, or inner feelings." Tang Lu said.
"Are there many records in this regard?" Huitong asked.
"Of course there is, there are many recorded in the book. When we handle cases, or as spokespersons, we need to understand this common sense. We must always deeply understand it and understand it carefully, so that we can make progress." Tang Lu said.
"Master said yes!" Huitong responded.
The two of them walked carelessly on the street.
Suddenly, a shrill female voice cut through the sky and spread far away. This was a sad cry that really shook the world.
There was fear in this voice.
It's not a wail of pain because of the loss of a loved one. It's more like a wail of fear for one's future fate.
As they got closer and closer, the crying not only did not decrease, but increased, the sound became louder and louder, almost howling. There was fear in the voice, and every sound hit Tang Lu's heart, like rushing home in a hurry
It's like someone knocking hard on the door of your heart.
So Tang Lu said to monk Huitong: "There must be a relative in this family who is about to die. Come on, let's go and have a look."
With that said, they entered the yard and saw a man lying straight on the bed, and a woman next to him was crying bitterly.
"May I ask who you are from the deceased?" Huitong asked.
"Wife." The woman glanced at the monk with tears in her eyes. Did she want to do the ritual so soon? She thought to herself and answered the question. At this time, everyone understood that her husband was dead.
After hearing this, Tang Lu was suspicious, but there was no evidence, so he had to ask: "Is she really the wife of the deceased?"
When the woman asked, she was a little panicked. She glanced at Tang Lu again and immediately moved elsewhere.
She nodded vigorously again.
Huitong asked: "How long have you been dead?"
"About an hour." The woman replied.
Tang Lu immediately changed his expression, his expression became solemn, he looked at the woman and said coldly: "This is unreasonable."
When the woman heard this, she was startled and sat on the ground.
Huitong asked: "Master, why are you so unreasonable?"
What Huitong means is that since her husband is dead and I feel uncomfortable, I will definitely cry. Whether the cry is loud or small, there is no difference. Crying loudly is howling, and crying softly is weeping. There is nothing wrong with it!
"You probably don't understand this yet. I'll let you know the authenticity in a moment. Go to Li Li, the county magistrate who handled the Porcelain Guanyin case, Mr. Li, and ask him to arrange for the autopsy to be carried out to see the man's body.
As for the cause of death, I always feel that this man died strangely," Tang Lu said.
Huitong nodded, not knowing the reason, but he obeyed and quickly rushed to Li Li. When Li Li heard this, he secretly admired Tang Lu. This master usually wandered around and seemed not to be doing his job. In fact, he was always there.
They are all working on cases! The spirit is commendable! It is worth learning! It turns out that there are cases to be handled everywhere in life, and there are places to learn from everywhere.
Li Li quickly asked people to inform the policemen to go, and then secretly arranged for the government servants to follow them from a distance, waiting for the opportunity and waiting for the opportunity to move, so as not to cause them any disadvantages.
As soon as the police arrived, they began to examine the man's dead body.
Tang Lu handed over the matter to Wu Zuo, and the guards had already appeared at the entrance of the courtyard, and then surrounded the courtyard and houses.
Tang Lu and Huitong left the house.
Huitong asked: "What's going on?"
"You see, as long as you are a human being, according to human nature, you will feel worried about your loved ones. If your loved ones are sick, you will always be afraid that your loved ones will be ill and be in danger, and you cannot think about the consequences. Regarding the death of your loved ones,
, has been completely despaired, will be very sad, feels that there is no future or support, and is despairing of all thoughts. When crying, he will be very sad. If he is not dead and is about to die, he will be afraid, but if he is dead, he will be sad and not afraid. Do you think this is the case?
What's the truth?" Tang Lu asked.
"Yes, I think it makes sense. Many people have always wanted to save their loved ones and prevent their loved ones from getting sick or dying. As long as their loved ones are still breathing, they feel scared. They are good but they will not get better, and they will not die. They feel scared at this time.
It’s understandable. If you are already dead, you will be very sad. Then, this woman has known that her husband has been dead for an hour, but she is still crying like that. In fact, there is deep fear and fear in the cry.
Isn't there a problem? There must be a problem. This kind of crying is actually not crying, but a howling out of fear. It's not crying out of true emotion, but out of fear of being held accountable. It's only because you're extremely afraid.
She was howling uncontrollably, which made people's hair stand on end. It was such a state, so I judged that this woman must have done something that scared her, otherwise, there would not be such a big reaction." Tang Lu said.
When Huitong heard this, he realized that this was indeed true. He nodded, hoping to know the cause of death of the deceased as soon as possible so that he could verify what Tang Lu said was correct.
"Did you notice? When we approached her, her cry, the cry of fear, became louder. What does this mean?" Tang Lu asked.
Huitong suddenly realized, he said: "Yes, I understand, she killed her man, and after killing her, she was afraid. Before committing the crime, she not only wanted to kill her man, but also was afraid of being known and discussed by outsiders. In order to
To cover up her suspicion of murder and let outsiders know that her husband was killed, she started to pretend and act, that is, she started crying, crying loudly to cover up the fact that she was the murderer. This kind of crying does not come from the heart.
Sad crying, but a disguised cry to cover up a crime. Such crying inevitably reveals great fear in her voice. When she heard our footsteps, the voice of fear became louder. Isn’t it?
?Master?"
Tang Lu saw that he understood and nodded.
Tang Lu walked slowly in front, and a group of people came behind him, escorting a woman. Tang Lu and the others 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!
As expected, Tang Lu was right, this woman was the murderer.
After an autopsy, it was found that this woman's husband was killed by this woman. There was physical evidence, including the murder dagger and blood-stained clothes. In addition, there was the woman's confession. She admitted that she had killed her husband.
Because her husband often drinks and gambles. When he comes home drunk, he beats her. When he loses in gambling, he beats her when he comes back without giving her money. When he loses, he has no place to vent his anger when he comes back. He also uses her as a punching bag and beats her again.
, often tortured her and made her miserable.
She happened to meet a fortune teller when she was having her fortune told. He was interested in her and she thought he was a good fortune teller. As long as he didn't hit women, he was a good man. She wanted to be with the fortune teller, but the fortune teller also felt sorry for her.
, and agreed.
But there is one condition, that is, her man's problem must be solved first. If the previous marriage is not solved, the fortune teller will not do it, saying it is adultery or fornication. Such a thing is disgraceful and cannot be done.
After the woman returned home, she found an opportunity to tell him that she wanted him to write a letter of divorce to divorce her.
Her husband refused to do it. Not only did he not do it, he also refused to write a letter of divorce and beat her again. This time the beating was more severe, and she became murderous.
Her husband went gambling again and continued to ask her for money when he lost. She also had no money. She usually made a living by sewing for others. She couldn't save money and had to live. Her husband ignored it and asked her to go to her employer to advance the expenses.
If she didn't go, she would be beaten. There was really no other way but to go. Fortunately, her employer knew that she was hardworking and capable and was good at sewing, so he gave her an advance payment. Her husband got the money and went to the casino to gamble again.
The days go by like this, and I don’t know when it will end.
That night, her husband came back drunk.
She saw an opportunity coming.
The dagger has been prepared for a long time.
Just thinking about it being bloody makes me scared and I almost give up.
By the time it was dawn, the rooster had crowed three times. If she didn't take action, it might be too late, so her heart suddenly became hardened and she stabbed it right in the heart. Unexpectedly, blood spattered everywhere and dyed her clothes red.
Then she hid the dagger, and seeing that her husband didn't make a sound, he kicked his legs and feet for a while, then there was no movement, and he died without any movement.
While her husband's body was still warm, she placed him on the bed board and began to cry bitterly.
At this time, Tang Lu and Huitong happened to pass by. When they heard the crying, they followed the sound and saw this scene. After a brief conversation and observation, they understood the truth, but they did not explain it.
The woman was taken to the county government office. After Li Li heard the inspection report made by her husband, he immediately put the woman in jail pending trial. It is estimated that there is no hope of survival.
