On May 4, 1919, the May Fourth Movement, which could be called a change in Chinese history, broke out. Cao Rulin , who was the director of transportation at the time, also praised the name of "traitor" .

Patriotic students not only did not cancel the " Twenty-One ", but also signed the Versailles contract. The person who bears their anger becomes Yuan Shikai After taking office as the "Grand President", he sat on Cao Rulin, who was the crater of the diplomatic crater against Japan and the position of Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs.
China's new democratic revolution kicked off with a fire in Zhaojialou. However, before becoming a "traitor" in public opinion, Cao Rulin was involved in a rare incident of "two women invading one man" .
Cao Rulin
The first practicing lawyer in the Republic of China
Beat the drum and make excuses, go to court, be brave, and board...
This is the inherent impression of many people on ancient judgments, but when Cao Rulin was the first to obtain a lawyer's certificate, things had changed quality, and is no longer the "Master Qingtian" alone, and the law has the ability to defend innocent people.
1877, Cao Rulin was born in Shanghai. His idol was an outstanding legal reformer in the late Qing Dynasty. He graduated from the Lincoln Law School in the UK and graduated from the Lincoln School of Law in the UK. In 1912, Wu Tingfang followed the Western legal system and proposed for the first time that "lawyers can appear in court to defend."

originally a warning word, but it was regarded as crazy by conservatives, but Cao Rulin, who had already resigned from public office, seemed to be "sitting in dying" and immediately signed up and became the number one practicing lawyer in the Republic of China.
The fruits of the 1911 Revolution were stolen by Yuan Shikai, but justice has no reason. Many people regard lawyers as the "sunset industry". Even Yuan Shikai asked "Since you have become famous, why should you be a lawyer?" . Cao Rulin didn't know how to explain the charm of case-breaking to Yuan Shikai, who advocated force and money, but he himself enjoyed it.

However, at first, not many people asked Cao Rulin for legal issues, but this did not affect the two cases he handled were incredible.
The first thing Cao Rulin handled the eunuch divorce case.
Cao Rulin
The case is not complicated, but it is ridiculous enough. It is about Qing Dynasty An eunuch named Zhang Jingxuan in the palace who fell in love with a young woman in a brothel. She learned that she could hold a beauty back after 300 yuan. She had no old mother to support her and no children to support her. She received her monthly salary but had nowhere to spend it. Zhang Jingxuan directly paid the 300 yuan redemption silver.
As I wished, the beauty returned home. The beauty thought she had found a good boss, but unexpectedly, The Qing Dynasty had fallen, and she was inexplicably a "concubine".

Because this Zhang Jingxuan is a person with a wife.
Before entering the palace, Zhang Jingxuan married a wife, but not long after he entered the palace, he fell in love with Cheng Yuezhen, the top card in the brothel. However, he never mentioned the fact that he was married.
coaxed and tricked into the house, but found that he was not even a wife. He felt that Cheng Yuezhen was cheated and was about to divorce immediately. At the beginning, Zhang Jingxuan would coax her, but after a long time, and there were many obedient women outside, Zhang Jingxuan was directly bored and sent someone to notify Cheng Yuezhen "If you want to break up, you only need to return the original price to redeem your silver" .

The person who came out of the "Palace Courtyard" is scheming. Cheng Yuezhen is just a weak woman. She can't beat Zhang Jingxuan's routine and doesn't have that much money at hand, so she sued him in court with a complaint.
The story of the two people, Cao Rulin should not have "name" , but when it involves the law, Cao Rulin, as a judge in the court, must speak.
"Cheng, you said in your testimony that Zhang Jingxuan abused you, is there any evidence?"
"No, after so many days, the scars are gone."
Seeing that Cheng Yuezhen could not produce evidence, Zhang Jingxuan was really proud and immediately raised his tone and believed that he could recover the 300 yuan redemption silver.
It’s a pity that Cao Rulin’s words turned too fast.
Cao Rulin
"Living people cannot be bought or sold. This has been listed as a severe ban in the former Qing Dynasty, let alone the Republic of China? You can give it to you, and the crime of trafficking in persons will be immediately implemented."
When facing the weak woman, Zhang Jingxuan's tricks were useful, but when facing Cao Rulin, his momentum became weaker, "That's not human trafficking, I lent her the money for redemption."
"Marriage is a family. According to Chinese custom, this is the common property of the couple. If you have evidence of borrowing, you will present it. If not, it will be the same as sophistry ."
every sentence that touched the hard board, Zhang Jingxuan didn't know how to deal with it. Cao Rulin said, "Marriage is based on illegal transactions and should be terminated. As for the 300 yuan redemption silver, no one threatened and extorted Zhang Jingxuan when paying it. It was him who voluntarily, so there was no need to return it."
Cao Rulin, who won the case, announced the result of the divorce between the two three days later. This is one of the earliest divorce cases publicly tried after the implementation of the new law of the Republic of China. Because of "fair service", Cao Rulin's reputation has increased, and he encountered the second incredible thing.
Two women assault one man
The second case, Cao Rulin handled the case where two women assault one man, but the hero died unexpectedly.
In the early years of the Republic of China, there was a pair of famous sisters in Baoshan , Jiangsu. The sister was named Zhou Fengbao and the sister was called Zhou Fengrong. Others were famous for their talent, but these sisters were charismatic.

parents work hard to get the two sisters to receive education, but both sisters have become romantic women. They are obviously at the age of the word, but their reputation has spread to the villages. When the young man saw them, they both took a detour.
However, 912 autumn harvest made the hungry sisters meet a lucky person who was alone.
The man's name is Li Jia, he has no marriage and no lover. He is working alone in the field, but he hears the girl's silver bell laughter.

"Brother Li, the sun is not as hardworking as you. It has gone down the mountain. You don't know how to take a break. Be careful to get tired." After the two sisters said this, Li Jia really felt his stomach empty. When he carried a hoe and was about to drink a sip of rice wine and was about to leave, the road in front of him was blocked by the two sisters.

"Brother Li, can you let my sisters drink this thing? After doing farm work for a whole afternoon, they were dry and dry." Li Jia is an honest man. Without thinking too much, he poured a cup for each of them, but the cup fell to his stomach, but the two of them didn't mean to stop. As they drank , the three of them entered the cotton field from the main road and became a rape.
Feeling deep in the heart, my body should have been hot and hot, but the two sisters felt that Li Jia's body was getting cooler and colder. When they turned over, they saw that they had no breath.

The two of them just want to have a happy life, but they did not expect to bear a life for them. . The first reaction of the instinctive first was to escape, and no one knew about it anyway.
But this fate is to be afraid of whatever you want.
The two sisters had just finished their clothes and walked out of the cotton field and met a villager directly. If it were normal, they would always hook up and tease each other with words, but this time they saw them, they ran home like a ghost.
The villagers who noticed something was wrong quickly walked into the cotton field. Seeing Li Jia who was motionless, they were so scared that they ran to the town to report to the police.
The police and doctors quickly arrived at the scene, and Li Jia's parents were also supported by someone to come to the death of their son. Knowing that the two elders are in a state of grief, it is not advisable to sprinkle salt on their wounds, but Li Jia's death is too strange and there is no external trauma, so we can only infer that it is a disease.

Unfortunately, the parents said that their children were in good health and had never taken a few doses of medicine since childhood. The reasoning for the cause of death was awkward, and the villagers who were the first to find the body made the scene explode with one sentence.
"Police Officer, when I found the body, the two sisters of the Zhou family came out of here in a panic. Will Li Jia's death be related to them?"
How can two young women treat a strong man? The sentence is a bit ridiculous, but since the two acted strangely, the police officer still brought the two sisters to the bureau. He had no expectations for interrogation, but the Zhou sisters said, "We just wanted to have a happy life with him, but he didn't expect him to stop moving."
"Murderer" was not guilty and was exempted from guilt
"What happened that day? You didn't say a word, just call me the truth."
Although it was already the Republic of China, the plan to make a case and the way to force confessions still exist in the Baoshan County Government. Official Zhang, who served as the governor, was still an old bureaucrat of the Qing Dynasty, so it was still a feudal style to make a case cut.

Gavel Then, the souls of the two sisters were scared to death and said everything in detail. Everyone present had a white and red face, which was as beautiful as changing their faces.
unprecedented absurdity made Governor Zhang not know what to do, but a life dissipated due to the lust of the two sisters. Although Li Jia did not know how to control it, it caused the provocation of the two sisters. Therefore, and the two were sentenced to for three years in prison.
For the Zhou parents, the reputation of the two sisters was ruined because they were small, but the daughter was imprisoned and the matter was big. So they asked for help everywhere. The more people they could ask for, the more people they knew about it.

Good things don’t go out, bad things are spreading thousands of miles away. Not long after, the whole Baoshan learned about this news, and some people wrote this rare thing into storytelling . In the tea house, Cao Rulin learned about it because of such an opportunity.

Looking at everyone who talked with relish and blushed, Cao Rulin was the teacup and stood up and said "This person who judged the case is really a confused insect, and the two sisters are clearly innocent."
The news quickly reached Zhou's father's ears. He asked someone to find out about Cao Rulin's residence. When he met, he fell down and knelt down without saying a word. "Sir, please save my daughter."
Cao Rulin agreed, not only promised not to pay, but also wrote a scattered complaint on the spot.
"When the two women and Li Jia were in love, there was no compulsive behavior. Both parties were willing to do so and should not impose a charge on the suspect because the victim had no ability to commit a crime."
Cao Rulin
The whole testimony, Cao Rulin emphasized that the weak girl had no ability to commit adultery and had no ability to kill. It was Li Jia's excessive greed that caused the tragedy.
In addition to touching people with emotion, Cao Rulin also won over people with virtue, and brought out the fact that women cannot be the subject of criminal in the "New Criminal Law" and applied to let the case handler re-handle the case.
The old thoughts were rooted in the heart, so the matter was unable to take over this hot potato, so the matter was finally handed over to the Supreme Court of Jiangsu Province and got the trial result of "the law is not clear and not guilty."
Zhou Fengbao and Zhou Fengrong were acquitted, and a bizarre case came to an end. Cao Rulin became famous in Shanghai, but after the May Fourth Movement, the collision of merits and demerits still made him a famous traitor.
But in fact, Cao Rulin has something to say about this matter.
As early as May 9, 1915, when he was ordered to send twenty-one items to the Japanese mansion, what he thought was "I felt desolate in my heart, as if I had a feeling of handing over the letter", but because of the compromise of Duan Qirui , Cao Rulin, as a shield, had no choice but to work hard.
Duan Qirui
After the May Fourth Movement, Cao Rulin swore in his heart that he would never interfere in politics again and be an opposition citizen. Although Japan repeatedly threw olive branches to him during the Anti-Japanese War , Cao Rulin refused without exception and died of illness in the United States in 1966.
The conclusion of "traitor" is not easy to say, but the case of "two women invading one man to death" is still talked about by many people.
Who should be blamed on? With time, it is no longer necessary to be petty. The true meaning of the story is that there are all kinds of wonders in the world. While staying alert in life and doing things, you should also be moderate without having to do it at once.
Arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and you will be sad when you are happy. This is what you mean.
