When Jin Shan took office, he encountered someone beating drums to express his grievances.
Jin Shan asked the complainer to come forward and speak.
"Who are you? Why are you here? What grievances are there?" Jin Shan asked.
"I'm telling you, sir, I have a wealthy family named Zhang who came to the county government office to file a complaint. There was a thief in the house and I suffered a lot from it."
"What kind of thief? Isn't this reasonable? You dare to be so bold right under your nose. Is there any royal law?" Jin Shan said angrily.
"Master Qi, he is a domestic thief."
"Domestic thieves? This is something new. It has always been said that house thieves are difficult to guard against. It seems there is some truth to this." Jin Shan said.
"Yes, sir, this house thief is very strong. He was originally lazy and delicious, and wanted to send him away. Unexpectedly, the person who recommended him had a strong background. In order to take care of the recommender's face, he was allowed to stay at home. Unexpectedly,
It starts to cause problems when you put it at home." Zhang Dahu said.
"What's going on? It seems that there is a bad servant in your family. Go on," Jin Shan said.
"He is lazy and can't be fired. When he heard that he was going to be fired, he became even more angry. However, he listened to the recommender and restrained himself. Our family has returned to its former self," Zhang Dahu said.
"Such an evil servant is easy to deal with. That's because you have a kind heart. If you had replaced me, you would have beaten him out long ago. How can you allow such a long time to be consumed? It is really unreasonable for people to spend time on such an evil servant.
It's worth it. You still have to make up your mind, be decisive, and send him away without hesitation. You can't heal the scars and forget the pain." Jin Shan said.
"That's it, if we really drive him away, he might hurt others. He relies on his backing and the power to protect people, so he will do this. It really shouldn't be done. There is nothing I can do about it!"
"Then what are you suing for? Are you just suing him to leave?" Jin Shan asked.
"No, no, that's not important. What's important is that my son is going to die."
"Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier? Human lives are at stake. Tell me quickly. What's going on?"
"It's my son who was kidnapped."
"Kidnapping?"
"almost."
"Why is it so similar? Is it a kidnapping?"
"It's kidnapping. My son was tied to a pillar by him. Does that count?"
"Yes, I'm tied. Do you want any money?"
"I don't want money, I just want food and drink."
"That's strange. Kidnappers usually want money. The kidnapping you encountered was not kidnapping. It should be revenge. Have you offended anyone?"
"I am a small commoner, how can I dare to offend anyone? I can do some small business and have a little more money."
"In other words, you are a local rich man. Someone was watching you. They were worried about your money, so they kidnapped your son."
"No, it's not for money."
"why?"
"I don't know either."
"That's weird. I kidnapped your son and didn't ask for money. What does that mean?" Jin Shan asked.
He has never encountered such a case before. This is the first time in his life. It seems that this is a strange case.
The more bizarre the case, the more attention it will attract. Once the case is solved, it will become famous all over the world.
Jin Shan thought happily. But when he saw the case, he still had no clue. There were a few bits here and there, and he felt hesitant again, not knowing what to do.
"Master Qi, the evil servant I just mentioned is the kidnapper. He doesn't want money. He just wants food, drink and fun." Zhang Dahu said.
"Why is this?" Jin Shan asked.
"I was very happy to have a son in my later years. I regarded my son as the apple of my eye. I didn't care about slacking off and raised him carefully. Through a matchmaker, I got married to a wealthy lady from a silk and satin merchant in the town. If I want my son to be a precious child early, I can let me hold him as soon as possible.
Your grandson." Zhang Dahu said.
"This is human nature and understandable."
"Sir, I hope to catch the evil servant and help me vent my anger."
"You are so incompetent in managing your family, why do you let your servants kick your nose in the face?" Jin Shan asked.
"Your Excellency is right in your criticism. It's all my fault. You should treat the evil servant according to the family law, so you don't have to bother so much. If the evil servant doesn't abide by the national laws and family rules, he will be severely punished. You can't have the heart of a woman and treat him too well.
Otherwise, it will be a big disaster." Zhang Dahu said.
"It's been a long time, but I still haven't figured it out. What are you suing for?"
"I'm telling you, sir, I'm going to report this evil servant."
"What do you accuse the evil servant of?"
"Sue him for bullying men and dominating women."
"Why do evil servants bully men and dominate women?"
"He bullied my son and took over my wife."
"How is this going?"
"I found the daughter of the owner of a silk and satin shop for my son and married it to my son. My daughter-in-law is not as handsome as Xishi Diaochan or Zhaojun Yuhuan, but she is considered a beauty in the ten miles and eight towns, let alone her beauty.
The beauty of a city, at least in the county and the countryside, can charm many men. I am worried that my son will not be able to control my daughter-in-law. My daughter-in-law relies on her wealth and beauty. My son is thin, and I am also worried that I will not be able to greet her. Unexpectedly, my daughter-in-law is very fond of my son.
Well, the husband and wife respect each other as guests. Although my daughter-in-law was born in a businessman and her father spent a lot of money to hire a gentleman to teach her when she was young, she has grown up to be a graceful and well-educated woman, which makes me very happy. I feel that this is a charity done by my predecessors, and the good things should be attributed to me. "
Zhang Dahu said.
"Yes, good things come to you. Please tell me, what happened next?"
"Later, that evil servant who was worse than a beast, saw that my son and daughter-in-law were living well and that my daughter-in-law was beautiful, so he became lustful. He was so daring that he took advantage of my son's absence to touch my wife.
Feet, let's tease." Zhang Dahu said.
"How unreasonable!" Jin Shan said angrily. He paused and asked eagerly: "Did you succeed?"
"No. Didn't I just say that? What kind of person is my daughter-in-law? She is very strong-willed. She marries my son and treats her son wholeheartedly. Other men are regarded as trash. The evil servant is short and thick, but he has
He is so strong, has a sinister look on his face, and is so fierce that his daughter-in-law feels like she has seen a piece of dog shit when she sees him. My daughter-in-law has avoided the evil servant many times, but the evil servant never succeeds. I am really lucky to have such a good wife for my son.
"Zhang Dahu said.
"That's great. People who study are still different. What happened next?"
"Later, the evil servant became angry with shame and grew evil. He found ropes, nails, hammers and other objects and broke into the house of my son and daughter-in-law."
"Ah, what are you doing in the room?"
"I went to the room and tied up my son."
"Tie where?"
"Right in the room."
"Your son didn't resist?"
"I resisted, but the evil servant was too strong to resist. My son was captured and tied to a pillar in the room." Zhang Dahu said, and then started crying.
"Then what?"
"Then the evil servant went and insulted the daughter-in-law in front of her son."
"How insulted?"
"I don't know the specifics. I just heard what the evil servant said. He said he slapped his daughter-in-law unconscious, tied her hands and feet, and then did bad things."
"Then what?"
"Then he started looking for me to eat and drink. After eating and drinking, he continued to beat his son and insult his wife when he was drunk."
"Isn't this reasonable? Is there any king's law? Isn't he afraid of punishment? Didn't you say you want to report to the official?" Jin Shan said angrily.
After losing his temper, Jin Shan suddenly realized that if he wanted to handle this case well, he had to use his brain. This is what Bu Huishu often said.
He came up with a plan and said: "You go back first. You are not managing the family well and you need to reflect on yourself. It is really disrespectful to cry when you encounter such a trivial matter. Go back and find a way yourself. I
There are still many murder cases to be dealt with. Your evil servant is just a family matter. Since it is a family matter, you can handle it at home. There is no need to report it to the official. Reporting to the official is useless. As long as no one is killed, it will not be taken seriously. You go back
Bar!"
When Zhang Dahu heard this, his head buzzed and he almost fainted. He was supported by his wife and said: "Master, you can make the decision for me! Just now you said that you would report to the official to punish this lawless thing. Why?
What happened in the blink of an eye?"
Jin Shan was holding back his laughter, and said with a serious face: "Find the reasons for yourself! You can't manage a bad servant, and it's all a joke if you say it. This is a trivial matter, don't dwell on it anymore. Quit!"
Zhang Dahu was very rich, but he didn't expect that money would be useless. He saw that Jin Shan was determined to drive them away, but he had no choice. Only Jin Shan knew better and sent Zhang Dahu away first.
Zhang Dahu left the county government office and returned home dejectedly.
The evil servant had already heard that the old couple had gone to the county government to file a complaint, and he was angry. He was also afraid that if the officers and soldiers really came, he would not be able to continue to do evil.
When the old couple came back, he eavesdropped on what was going on outside. He heard Zhang Dahu sigh and said, "I really shouldn't have gone to report to the official. I'm in trouble and asking for trouble. I didn't expect the county magistrate to be such a person."
!”
His complaint was overheard by the evil servant. He thought to himself, these two old immortals have really reported to the customs. It's a pity that the sky has eyes and does not bless the rich, but only takes care of those who can't find wives. It's really bad for them to do bad things.
Okay, it feels great! These two old guys are really impatient with life.
"Old immortal! Hurry, bring me food and drink. Hurry! Otherwise, your son will not see the sun tomorrow. Hurry! You are dragging your feet!" the evil servant said viciously.
"Please do well. I will have food and drink. I will give you the best, but don't harm my son! Otherwise, I will be sorry for my ancestors." Zhang Dahu said.
"I don't care who your ancestors are, I just want to eat well, drink well, have fun, hahahahaha, you old man, go and get something to eat." the evil servant roared.
Zhang Dahu did not dare to disobey the order, so he had no choice but to comply. He was very anxious, but there was nothing he could do. Now the hostage was in his hands, with two lives, and it would not hurt either one. As long as he eats, drinks, and has fun, sooner or later
He will be tired. Then he can break in and rescue his son and daughter-in-law. Now is not the time. Once he is angered, his son's life will be difficult to save.
Thinking this way, he still hoped that a hero would come to punish the bad guys and bring justice.
The evil servant ate and drank enough, and took advantage of the drunkenness to ravage Zhang Dahu's daughter-in-law, and then fell asleep.
At midnight, they heard a lot of noise outside. Zhang Dahu and his wife were so frightened that they trembled and did not dare to say anything. They obediently handed over their gold and silver treasures.
More than twenty people came in, all dressed in black and masked, holding a sword in one hand and a torch in the other. The torch burned and made a beeping sound.
"Quickly, hand over the money, and you will keep your life if you give the money, and those who keep the money will not keep their heads." The leader of the gangster shouted.
Zhang Dahu and his wife lowered their heads, trembling all over and talking. They did not expect this.
The bandits rummaged through the boxes and cabinets unscrupulously, searching through the properties on the first floor. There were already quite a few, but they were still unwilling to give in, so they shouted loudly: "Tell me, where are the valuable gold, silver and jewelry?"
Zhang Dahu was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything. He heard that the voice sounded familiar, but his face was covered and he was dressed in black. Zhang Dahu wanted to see it but didn't dare to. He was afraid that if the knife came down, his body would be dismembered.
"You didn't tell me, didn't you? You're so cunning, old guy! Even if you didn't tell me, I would know that all the valuable things are upstairs, right? Hahahaha!" they said with a wild laugh.
"Come here, go upstairs and search. All the valuables are upstairs. Go upstairs and search. Don't give up even if there are any clues. Search carefully for me. If you find the big guy, you will be rewarded." The bandit leader shouted.
It didn't matter that he shouted. Everyone held torches and gathered towards the stairs. The wooden stairs made a thumping sound. Fortunately, Zhang Dahu used golden nanmu to make the stairs. This guy is worth his money. It's so luxurious.
So much so that people who have never seen golden nanmu are very happy, and they are thinking about how to move the stairs home.
There are many people who think this way, but they cannot delay the business. No matter how good the wood is, it is still wood and serves people. Needless to say, the golden nanmu stairs.
Besides, golden nanmu is not only used for stairs. It can be said that all the houses in the yard are made of golden nanmu, which is quite valuable.
Boom, boom, boom, everyone came upstairs and searched each room.
At this time, the evil servant woke up vaguely and saw that Zhang Dahu's son and daughter-in-law were still there. He was about to sleep for a while, but unexpectedly, a group of unqualified robbers disrupted the plan and disturbed his erotic dream.
He couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
This couple is a legal couple. No matter how you say it, you shouldn't be here. If you show up, it means you are a bad guy and an uninvited guest. You should be deported or expelled.
The evil servant was thinking of a way to escape, but there was no feasible way yet. Suddenly there was a "clang", the door was knocked open, and five or six big men rushed in, all in black clothes and black turbans, with their faces covered. The firelight swayed, and the figures were
The evil servant had just climbed to the window, stepped out with one foot, and had not had time to turn over with the other foot. He wanted to hide in the shadow of the skylight on the roof, but was caught before he could.
The big man in black tied up the evil servant without any explanation. It was like a rice dumpling and was so strong that he could no longer move.
The evil servant could only lower his head and dare not say a word. He knew very well that these robbers were only looking for money, not life. As long as he acted honestly and pretended to be pitiful, he could escape the disaster and save his life. When he thought about it, he
Don't panic.
After the group of people came in, they stopped rummaging through the boxes. The bandit leader heard someone shouting: "He's on fire!"
"Bring them down!" the bandit leader ordered, "Untie the two of them and bring them down together."
Everyone obeyed and pushed the evil servant downstairs. The evil servant was confused. He didn't know what kind of robber this was. He was a thief, so he called him a thief. Is this a thief calling to catch a thief? He was really wronged!
