Bu Huishu asked Yin Jian what was the cause of Guo Jia's death?
Yin Jian said: "Guo Jia probably saw all this. That is to say, the snake discovered the toad, attacked the toad, and the toad was swallowed by the snake. This scene was seen by the mantis. The mantis saw the snake's belly bulged and knew that the toad became
The snake was a delicious meal, so he attacked the snake, hugged the snake tightly, sawed open the snake's belly, and rescued the toad. The mantis himself was half exhausted and dying. The toad saw the mantis and completely forgot that it was the mantis who saved him.
To save his life, he stuck out his tongue, rolled the praying mantis into his big mouth, and swallowed the praying mantis. Guo Jia was so angry that he went to punish the toad, pounced forward, and pressed the toad under him. Unexpectedly, he
He was carrying a big scythe on his shoulder, but the scythe was brought to him, and he just happened to cut his neck. As a result, his neck bled and he died. Just when Jia Guo had finished his work, he caught up and saw Guo Jia bleeding in the ditch. He was already on the verge of death.
, he had no choice but to report it to Wang Yuanwai. Wang Yuanwai did not want to delay his harvest of wheat, because if the weather changed soon, he would face huge losses, so he threw Jia Guo into prison. He did not want to cause trouble and was afraid of lawsuits.
.This is the whole process. I wonder if my analysis, Brother Yu, is correct?"
"That's absolutely correct! My dear, you are worthy of being the minister of Dali Temple. You have a way of handling cases," Bu Huishu said.
"No, no, this is all the credit of Brother Xian. Without Brother Xian's help to remind him, Brother Yu couldn't solve the case even if he tried for a year. This case is really difficult to solve. There is one thing that Brother Yu still doesn't quite understand. Why did Guo Jia
Why bother meddling in other people's business? Doesn't he know the story of the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind it? Why bother risking his life?" Yin Jian asked.
"My dear friend, have you learned about Guo Jia's character from Li Zheng and the local security guard?"
"Yes, I understand. They all say that Guo Jia is kind and honest, gentle and amiable, and very filial. He usually does not dare to kill chickens, but he may also believe in Buddhism and not kill animals. He especially believes in karma, or in other words,
He knows how to repay kindness, loves justice the most, and can't stand people or things that repay kindness with hatred. On the day of harvesting wheat, he happened to see an ungrateful thing, that is, the toad was not willing to repay the mantis for saving his life.
"Eating the thing that saved its life, what kind of thing is intolerable? So he punished the toad, but he didn't expect that he was injured by the sickle he brought and died of anger," Yin Jian said.
"Yes, then, this case will be thoroughly investigated. If I feel confident, you can go to court for trial. My dear friend, Full Screen, will make the decision." Bu Huishu said.
"Okay, let's go to court immediately. Now notify the Zaoyang County Magistrate, ask the people involved to come to court, bring the case to court, notify Li Zheng, the local security guard and everyone who cares about the case to come to court." Yin Jian said, and then made arrangements.
Go down.
Interrogation in the lobby.
Jia Guo was put on trial. Jia Guo was very happy to know that this was the minister of Dali Temple who came from the capital. He asked and answered ten questions and told everything he knew. He told everything he knew and didn't know, hoping to be released and pardoned because he
I had been wrongly accused and was in prison without seeing the light of day. The feeling of losing my freedom was too uncomfortable.
Yin Jian ordered the clerk to write down the proceedings of the trial, and then asked Jia Guo to sign and stamp it. Jia Guo knew a few words and could write his own name, so he signed it readily.
The people who came to attend the court trial were very interested in the case. They came to listen to the case and spread it to tens, hundreds, and thousands, and surrounded the county government office. The Zaoyang County magistrate sent additional government officials to maintain order.
After everyone understood the ins and outs of this case, they were greatly surprised. It turned out that people can be ungrateful, even toads can do it. It seemed that this toad also deserved to die, but Guo Jia died unjustly.
The case was revealed to the world, and Jia Guo was acquitted. He was given fifty taels of silver as compensation for the period of imprisonment. Jia Guo did not expect that when he met Mr. Qingtian, he not only restored his innocence, but also received benefits. Of course, this
The money was borne by the local government of Zaoyang. Jia Guo returned home happily.
Everyone he met said that Yin Jian, who came from the capital, was a really sensible person. Wherever he was an official, the people there praised him. Among them, how Yin Jian solved the case, no one knew as well as he himself.
On his way home, Jia Guo met an old man crying on the roadside. He was holding a rope in his hand, and a donkey was tied to the other end of the rope.
Jia Guo was in a very good mood. He couldn't see anyone suffering, so he asked, "Old man, why are you crying?"
The old man looked at the short fat man and ignored him. He didn't look like a good person. He had a fat head and big ears, and his mouth was shiny. He looked like he had just eaten something delicious. He went out to show off on purpose and made people angry on purpose. Some people even
If you can’t even eat vegetarian dishes or rice, how can you talk about eating meat?
"Old man, why are you ignoring me? I'm asking you kindly, why don't you say anything?" Jia Guo asked again.
The old man still ignored him.
You think this Dwarf Tiger is here to harm and eat people, why should you care about him?
Jia Guo had never met such a person before. He was in a good mood, but when he was poured a basin of cold water on him, he felt cold from head to toe.
"Hey, old man! I asked you kindly and wanted to help you, but why are you ignoring me? Are you mute?" Jia Guo said angrily, unwilling to give in.
"You are the mute! I am too lazy to care about you! You don't look like a good person!" the old man said.
"Hey, hey, hey, you're such an interesting person! Don't look at your age. If you piss me off, I dare to hit you!" Jia Guo said.
"Hit me? Okay! Come on, beat me, beat me! If you want to beat me, beat me to death. If you don't beat me to death, you can't be considered a good man! Beating me to death is just right. I don't want to live anyway," the old man said.
"It's not that easy for you to die! Do you want to get into trouble? I won't be fooled! I don't want to get involved in a lawsuit. I just had a lawsuit and I don't want to enter the palace for the second time." Jia Guoyan said.
"A lawsuit? Who is afraid of a lawsuit? The old man even wants to die, but he is still afraid of a lawsuit?" the old man said.
"No, you heard wrong, I meant me, I just got a lawsuit." Jia Guo said.
"Oh, I heard it wrong. Why are you suing me? I will only believe you if you are more cruel to me. I am afraid of those who use sweet words to coax others. The most hateful people are such people! They have honey on their lips.
What you say sounds nice, but you are harmful to others!" said the old man.
"Speaking of it, you don't believe it. This lawsuit is really rare in the world. It seems that I am going to the bottom of the prison with no hope of walking out of the prison alive. Who knows, I really met a good officer. He understood everything clearly, solved the case, and let me go home.
." Jia Guo said that he did not dare to talk about the money because he was worried about being remembered.
"What's going on? It sounds like a fog. You said this case didn't come from the human world. Did it come to heaven? Tell me what's going on. If you don't tell me, I won't talk about mine." The old man said.
explain.
It seems that the old man is more cunning and cautious.
Jia Guo told him what happened on the way to harvest the wheat.
After listening to Jia Guo's narration, the old man nodded and said, "There is indeed a saying. There are fights between praying mantises and snakes among the people. I have seen them all. Even though the mantis is small, its posture is not small. When a snake sees a praying mantis, it is not casual.
You're the one who offended me. Okay, I'll keep my word. After hearing your story, I'll tell you my story."
"What's the matter? Come on, I'm on my way. If I can help you, I'll do it, and don't feel bad about it," Jia Guo said.
"Hey, it's so annoying to talk about it! If I don't say it, I feel so panicked. If I want to say it, I don't know who to say it to. It's hard! It's hard! It's hard!" said the old man.
"If you have something to say, just say it, if you have a fart, let it go. What's the problem? Do you have to hold it in and get sick?" Jia Guo said.
"Oh - what a bad luck! I lost my donkey." The old man said and sighed.
"Old man, old man! Your donkey is here, isn't it in your hands?" Jia Guo said. When he was anxious, he called him old man.
"You're wrong, my mule. This donkey is not mine, it belongs to a bandit." The old man said.
"Where do you start talking about this? The thieves are so kind. Why should I give you a donkey?" Jia Guo asked.
"Just stop talking. Can I finish what I said?"
"Okay, okay, you say it!"
"This donkey belongs to the bad guy, not me. I have a mule. The mule is a good mule. The coat is very beautiful, smooth, and has strong hooves. It can walk like flying. It has great strength and is very easy to use. Today, I have a batch of mountain goods to pick up.
Go to the market to sell. Who knows, when the ghost spirit comes out, the mule will stop walking halfway and kick its legs. Even if you give it delicious food to coax it, it will not go away, and it will not go away even if you beat it with a whip. It is just stubborn.
, no compromise. I am an old man. There is no shop in front of Buba Village or back in here, and there is not even a place to drink water. When I felt desperate, there was a person who looked like you and seemed kind-hearted. He came over and asked kindly.
Where am I going? I said I was going to the market. He was riding a Maori, Nuo, this one, and then he cared about me and said, you are in such a hurry, why doesn’t the mule want to leave? It’s so anxious! He said, looking left and right.
He looked at the mule, nodded, and said that he had to go to the county town ahead for business, and he happened to be traveling the same way, so he asked me to go with him. Seeing that the mule refused to go, he suggested riding another one. I didn't think much about it, I just thought he was kind.
He spoke softly and didn't mean anything bad, so he relaxed his guard. They were all traveling on the same road, and the places were not big. They were all going to market towns. He was riding a donkey. He said that his donkey was very docile and obedient.
It's really comfortable to walk on it. If you don't believe it, just switch to riding one and you will know after trying it. I believed it. I agreed to switch to another, so I gave him the reins and he gave me the donkey. Who knows, he got on the mule.
, smiled, and whipped the mule hard several times. I was reluctant to beat him, but he beat him with all his strength, until he was beaten to death. The mule had suffered like this. The mule was in unbearable pain, and ran away with the man.
"It's a pity that my mules and mountain animals are gone. No, I just left this donkey. It's really annoying! Wuwuwuwu," the old man said.
After saying that, he started to sob, crying like a child who was bullied.
Jia Guo hated to see others cry. After hearing the old man's cry, he cursed: "It's so unconscionable! Such people should go to hell. Old man, don't cry, let's find a way. Oh, by the way, I know from the capital
Mr. Yin Jian, the minister of Dali Temple who came here, has not left yet. He is in Zaoyang County. Why not go find him now? He will definitely be able to help you. He helped solve my case. Otherwise, I would still be in the cell.
Waiting to die.”
"Sir Yin Jianyin you are talking about, I have also heard of it, but I have never met him. If he can really solve the case, I am willing to worship him as a god. I have worked hard all my life, but this mule is valuable, thief
It would be better to kill the little old man than to take his mule away. The little old man's heart is so cold that he really wants to go with the mule." said the old man.
"You can go directly to the Zaoyang County Government Office to complain, and directly ask to see Mr. Yin Jian. As for me, I don't want to go to the County Government Office. I am scared when I see it. You can go by yourself, don't worry, you will definitely find your mule. Old man,
I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first. As for you, don’t be afraid. Master Qingtian will give you justice. The thief will definitely not be able to escape. Have confidence! You can ride a donkey to the county.
The Yamen complained, and I went on my way. Oh, by the way, if I have time in the future, I would still like to visit you. Where do you live? What's your name?" Jia asked.
"The little old man's surname is Luo Bu Huan, and he lives in Luojiazhuang, Shuanggou Township. Just go to Luojiazhuang and ask me where Luo Buhuan lives. Or the hut next to a big elm tree at the west end of the village is the little old man's home.
." said the old man.
"Okay, I'll remember it and I'll visit you later. You should go as soon as possible. I'm afraid that after the visit, Mr. Yin will return to the capital and your case will be far away," Jia Guoyan said.
"The little old man knows that if he leaves, he will arrange for others to handle it. Under his intervention, most people would not dare to be careless." Luo Buhuan said.
The old man Luo Buhuan got on the donkey. He was no longer as discouraged as before. His eyes were shining, and it seemed that the light of hope was shining again. He got on the donkey. Unexpectedly, the donkey was also sensible and obedient. He obediently let Luo Buhuan ride on it, and then
Just left.
Jia Guo waved to him, and Luo Buhuan said, "Thank you! I was not polite to you at first, so don't take it seriously!"
"It's okay, it's okay. My mood is understandable. If it were me who had just been deceived and suffered a loss, I would definitely not be in a good mood! Go ahead, old man, and you will succeed in no time!" Jia Guoyan said, then turned around and walked quickly towards home.
go.
Besides, Luo Buhuan rode a donkey to the Zaoyang County Government Office. He tied the donkey to a jujube tree nearby, went to the grievance drum next to the gate, and knocked "dong dong dong" three times.
After a while, someone came out and asked, "What's the matter with drumming?"
"Complain!"
"Sue who?"
"have no idea."
"You're making a fool of yourself! To file a complaint, you need a written complaint. You don't even know who you are going to sue, so how can you make such a complaint loud and clear?"
"My mule was snatched away. On the way, I met a man named Jia Guo who was going out from here. He asked me to come to Zaoyang County to find Mr. Yin Jian, the minister of Dali Temple who came from the capital." Luo Buhuan finished in one breath.
, gasped.
When the yamen servant heard this, he realized that there was something going on here and did not dare to be careless. The old man mentioned names and surnames, which seemed to have some background. Without saying a word, he went in to report to the Zaoyang County Magistrate.
The magistrate of Zaoyang County is named Wu Shicheng.
When County Magistrate Wu heard that someone was coming to complain, he asked the Minister of Dali Temple by name. He panicked. Was he going to file a complaint? Why didn't he just go to Wu Shicheng to file a complaint against the County Magistrate? Isn't there something that cannot be sued?
