The gambler escaped, and Cai Lu's wife was so frightened that she lost her mind. It took a long time before she remembered to report it to Li Zheng.
Li Zheng reported it to Jin Shan. Jin Shan sent people to investigate, but the cause of Cai Lu's death was not found. The time limit had expired, so he could only hastily write down a cause of death and hastily close the case. However, Jin Shan was unwilling to accept it and kept trying to find the truth.
Ji. Occasionally, he would talk to Li Li and Tang Lu about the case.
There is no result either.
Tang Lu knew it well and remembered Cai Lu's name. In this case of Ding Si's violent death, he heard Wu Zuo say that his wife helped, so he connected it with the Cai Lu case and discovered the problem.
Later, when a gambler was gambling, he got into a conflict with someone because he was cheating without being discovered. There were many people in his family. During the conflict, he was beaten to death. I don’t know who killed him. Anyway, some of them are gone.
Unfortunately, Cai Lu's wife was nowhere to be found, and she happened to meet a matchmaker who introduced her to Gucheng's wife who had no wife, so she made a match and married him.
After marrying Wu Zuo, she restrained herself. Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, she gradually aged and her appearance was no longer beautiful and beautiful, so she gave up and wanted to live an honest life with Wu Zuo. She never thought about anything else. However,
She always dreamed about Cai Lu, who was bloody and wanted to kill her. She worried morning and night, if one day the ghost was not arrested, she would deserve it and have no regrets.
After listening to what Wu Zuo's wife said, Wu Zuo felt chills running down his spine and a cold wind blowing on his back. It turned out that the person next to him was actually a murderer. It was unbelievable and very dangerous.
Wu Zuo touched his nose and sneezed several times.
This nose might also be nailed in the future, right? He knelt down quickly and said, "Thank you, sir! Fortunately, you discovered it in time and saved my life. Otherwise, I would have been the next Cai Lu."
"You're welcome. As long as you pay attention everywhere, you will find abnormalities. If you find abnormalities, you can find clues to the case. With clues, even if it is an old case, you can find out the truth. If the victim can be comforted, the soul in heaven will also be comforted.
Rest."
"How do you plan to punish me, sir?"
"The other gambler and concubine has been beaten to death, so there is no need to investigate the guilt. When the case is over, your wife will definitely be executed in Lingchi. You can avoid this case, and when the punishment is over, you can find another good woman.
As your wife, you may not marry another wife, the key is up to you." Tang Lu said.
"Thank you, sir, for thinking about me. I suddenly encountered this incident and was a little confused. I'd better stop for a while and then consider personal issues when I feel better." Wu Zuo said.
Wuzuo thanked him and left, and his wife was imprisoned in the Gucheng County Government Office. Tang Lu sent people to notify Jin Shan, and Jin Shan sent people to Gucheng to escort the prisoner back to Dengcheng. In the letter, he told the details of Jin Shan's case,
Jin Shan put him on death row in Dengcheng without interrogation and waited for the execution to begin in autumn.
Tang Lu concluded the case and breathed a sigh of relief. If this woman becomes obsessed, she will kill her man. How terrible! This is such a painful realization! Women are more powerful than men! On the surface, women
Relatively weak, actually not. If you hate your man, no one can stop him. A man still has to deal with the relationship with his wife carefully. If he finds anything wrong, it is best to leave quickly. Maybe he can save his life. If
If you have to strive to win, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed.
Because many people don't understand this truth. Men have to make money, work hard for their careers, and pay close attention to the person they sleep with. Otherwise, the biggest danger comes from her, without exception. Men are not real tigers, women are.
.The so-called companion is like accompanying a tiger. It is better to say that a partner is like a tiger. If you are not careful about protection, you will lose your life. This case has given people too much inspiration. The key is to be careful about the person you sleep with.
Tang Lu was filled with emotion, and then continued to stay in Gucheng. He was content with the situation and was not afraid of any storms.
Someone came to complain, claiming to be from Dengcheng and Cai Lu's uncle.
When Tang Lu heard this, he became interested. He knew that Cai Lu was a party to a case handled by Jin Shan. In other words, Cai Lu was murdered. As an uncle, he felt guilty and felt that his nephew was raped by a woman.
I can't figure it out, because at that time I decided to move away from Dengcheng for the sake of face, and moved to Gucheng, a place where I didn't have many acquaintances, so as not to have anyone point at me and feel uncomfortable.
Cai Lu's uncle left his hometown. In order to avoid suspicion, he started a small business in the local area to make a living.
Who knew that he would not be able to get the payment for the goods, so he had to go to the county government to file a complaint.
Tang Lu was somewhat interested when he heard that he was from Dengcheng and doing business in Gucheng.
After listening to Old Man Cai's accusation, Tang Lu knew what he was talking about.
Old Man Cai said: "Three families are in arrears with the payment. Here's what happened: A neighbor named Hou Budan said he wanted to purchase goods, but the boss of the last batch of goods didn't settle the bill, and he didn't have the money to settle the bill with the boss who purchased the goods. He needed a sum of money. There was money everywhere.
If I couldn't borrow it, I had to borrow it from Old Man Cai. Old Man Cai was kind-hearted, so he believed him and lent him all his money."
"What about the second neighbor?" Tang Lu asked.
"The second neighbor's name is Mayud, and the third neighbor's name is Zhu Jincheng. They both want to help me exchange the goods."
"Exchange for what?"
"They knew that the old man had no money to borrow, but they had goods in hand. They had no money, so they couldn't buy the goods. Now they said that they would exchange the old goods for new ones. But the old man believed them all.
, and let them take away all the goods. Now the old man has no money and no goods. This business can't continue. My nephew was killed and I took refuge here. Why is there such bad luck? God, it's so unfair.
!”
"Have you found them?" Tang Lu asked.
"I found it, but they refused to admit it. They said they didn't borrow the money and they didn't take the goods. This is bullying! Sir! These three scoundrels actually took the old man's money and goods. The money was borrowed but never returned, and the goods were also delivered.
Without progress, the old man was penniless, his business was in a quagmire, he couldn't move, and he had to wait for death," said Old Man Cai.
"You are not old enough to die yet, don't be so discouraged! I will ask those three people to inquire about the situation. Please call Hou Budan, Ma Youde, and Zhu Jincheng to come to the court to listen to the interrogation." Tang Lu ordered.
The yamen officer took the order and left, and after a while, he brought back three people, none other than Hou Budan, Mayude and Zhu Jincheng.
"You three, do you recognize this old man?"
"We know him, he is our neighbor."
"What does he do?"
"It's for business."
"Have you ever borrowed money from him?"
"No." The three people said in unison.
"Have you ever gone to his house to pick up the goods?"
"No." The three of them still said in unison.
It seems that the three of them have formed an offensive and defensive alliance, advancing and retreating together, united as one, but they don't want to pay back the money or the goods, but they want to take advantage and put the old man in a desperate situation.
Tang Lu asked: "Can you tell your conscience, did you borrow money to buy goods?"
"Sir, if you want to succeed in business, you must be honest, which means you pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. If this is not the case, you must have a contract document as a voucher to avoid being found without evidence and difficult to be trusted. Even if it is a loan, there is an IOU.
When receiving goods, you must also have a delivery document or a receipt. If you owe money, there should be an IOU. If not, it is a false accusation. I hope you can find out clearly. It does not belong to the category of conscience. Many people are not conscientious, but
, is very trustworthy, because there is no evasion if there is proof and evidence. Even if you are litigating, you must also talk about evidence. Without evidence, it is difficult to support the case." Hou Budan said.
Tang Lu thought for a while, then turned to the old man and asked, "Listen, what's the problem?"
"Sir, Mr. Qingtian! The mirror is clear. These three people are not human beings. They bullied the old man for being illiterate. None of what they said is true. Fortunately, the old man saved a hand and wrote down the account details. Please check it out." The old man said,
Then he took out a scroll of paintings from his arms and presented it to Tang Lu for review.
When the three of them took a look, Mayud said: "Sir, since it is a voucher, it should be written. If it is painted, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public and will not convince people."
"Yes, sir, if you want to convince others, you must verify the truth." Zhu Jincheng said.
Seeing that Tang Lu had nothing to say, Hou Budan immediately raised his voice and said: "This painting is the graffiti of a three-year-old child. It cannot explain any problems at all. It cannot be used as an account and is not evidence. Adults should reject the painting."
"You don't need to teach me what to do!" Tang Lu responded sharply.
When the three people heard this, they were all shocked. Old Cai felt much better. He was still an upright official! He could speak for the people!
Tang Lu sternly silenced the three of them. The three of them did not dare to speak anymore. Tang Lu began to study the painting seriously. In the eyes of others, it was a graffiti, but in fact it had merits.
Tang Lu saw that although the painting was not well drawn and the production was rough, the meaning it wanted to express was very clear, and this may be what the author thought. The image of the painting was identifiable and the meaning was very clear.
"This painting is based on real evidence and is not just a graffiti. This is irrefutable evidence and you cannot deny it!" Tang Lu said.
The three evil neighbors were not convinced and did not admit their fault. They only cried out that they had been wronged.
Tang Lu pointed to a painting and said: "Here, there is a monkey with its back leaning on a mountain, eating mountain food. This monkey is the Hou Budan in your name. Hou and monkey have the same pronunciation, and your nickname is monkey.
Isn't that right? You locals all know that your nickname is also a monkey. How can you justify it? With your back against a mountain, you are saying that you, Hou Budan, owed Old Man Cai some money on credit, and used the money to buy goods from the mountains.
The meaning couldn't be clearer. What else do you have to say?"
Then, Tang Lu pointed to another painting and said: "This is a horse carrying goods. There is a baby under the horse's hooves, but the horse bent its legs and did not step on the baby. Isn't this saying
, is this horse very virtuous? Then, look at what is on the horse’s back? It’s goods, and this goods was carried away from Old Man Cai’s house. Mayud, what else do you have to say?”
Finally, Tang Lu pointed to the third painting and said: "Look, this pig is eating inside the gate. These foods are not pig food, but food for people. This means that you, Zhu Jincheng, came from Cai Laohan's house."
The goods were taken away. This has clearly shown that the pig is Zhu Jincheng's Zhu. The horse is Mayud's horse, and the monkey is Hou Budan, whose nickname and nickname are both monkeys. The three paintings prove that the three of you
What he did has clearly demonstrated this fact.”
The three of them were still a little unconvinced!
In order to convince the three people, Tang Lu said: "Go and invite the neighbors to come over and hear the trial."
The yamen officer took the order and went there. Soon, Cai Laohan, Hou Budan, Mayude and Zhu Jincheng's neighbors came. When they saw the formation, they defended Cai Laohan and said, "Excuse me, three of them are bullying one. Young people are doing it."
What's wrong with you, just bullying people!"
In short, Mr. Cai has received good support. Most people support the weak, and a small number support the strong. Those who want to become strong often need to work harder. Of course, if you have a good foundation, you need to save some effort.
.
Those neighbors with a sense of justice testified: "Sir, I am willing to testify for Old Man Cai, proving that two people carried goods from Old Man Cai's house."
"Sir, I would like to prove that since the two men, Ma Youde and Zhu Jincheng, took away the goods from Old Man Cai's house, Old Man Cai's business has stopped and has become worse and worse. The economic situation is very bad."
"Sir, I am willing to prove that one day, I saw Hou Budan coming out of Old Man Cai's house, beaming with joy and wearing a sash on his shoulders. I asked him where he came from and where he was going. He said that he came from Old Man Cai's house to purchase goods for business.
, I didn’t have the money to purchase goods, so I asked Old Man Cai to borrow money. Old Man Cai was so stupid. He knew clearly that he wanted to steal his business, but he still borrowed money. He was really stupid. This made him look good. He is so old.
I asked if I didn't plan to return the money to him? Hou Budan said that Old Cai was illiterate and had no proof of the money he borrowed, so he had nothing to do if he didn't pay him back. Besides, he was a foreigner and squeezed him away.
We are all better off. Otherwise, how can we say that colleagues are enemies? This sentence is correct."
"Yeah, sir, the little one has proved that they all do the same business."
"Sir, I would like to prove that the business of Hou Budan and the three of them is getting better and better, but the business of Old Cai is getting worse and worse, and it is basically at a standstill. If there is no money and no goods, no one will accept credit."
"Sir, I would like to prove that Mr. Cai is getting poorer and poorer, and those three are getting richer and richer."
Everyone was talking a lot and it was very lively!
Everyone looked at Tang Lu, and Tang Lu said to the three people: "What do you have to say? Now that the physical evidence and human evidence are all there, how can you deny it? Say! If you refuse to admit it, then I will have to let you
It’s normal to be beaten if you’ve been wronged. Who makes me your parents’ official? As a parent, if you don’t punish your children, you are an irresponsible parent, right?”
When the three of them saw that Tang Lu was really coming, they looked at each other, and they had no choice but to obey. They could not deny it, so they actively admitted their mistakes, and clearly calculated the borrowed money and payment, including the principal and interest, and gave it to Cai in court.
Old man, Old Man Cai admitted the account, and then signed and pledged it. Old Man Cai took the money back, regrouped, reopened the business, and the business gradually began to prosper. This chapter has been completed!
