1. Chess case is broken up, and it is filing with right and wrong
In ancient times, there was a magistrate named Lin in the north. He was honest and honest, and he judged cases like a god. He loved the people so much, and was known as Lin Qingtian. However, it is said that when he first took office, he did not have any ability to judge cases.
After years of hard study, Lin Magistrate Lin finally passed the exam and became the magistrate. However, County Magistrate Lin was more determined than the sky and felt that he was capable, but he was assigned to a bitter and cold place. He thought that he was a southerner, but he was assigned to the north as an official. He was dissatisfied with the officials of the Ministry of Personnel, so he gave up a lot of official duties to his subordinates, and he was happy to be the boss of his own hands.
When someone complains, County Magistrate Lin likes to hand over official duties to a yamen runner named Li. Whoever is right or wrong will be judged according to the yamen runner's hint. The method is: put a small chess board on the lobby table and two chess pieces in the plate. One is "official" and the other is "principal". Every time a case is heard, the defendant and the plaintiff stand on the left and right. When the case is decided after trial, County Magistrate Lin saw that Li Yabos put the "official" side, which side is the reasonable side: the "principal" side is, because when playing chess, they often say "flying" and the meaning of "non-descendant" means the unreasonable side.
In the previous cases, Li Yabos was able to handle them impartially, and several cases were handled fairly. County Magistrate Lin was secretly proud of himself, thinking that he had the ability to recognize people, but he had a keen eye and found a good helper.
However, this secret code was found by a yamen runner surnamed Liu. Liu Yahai Run and Li Yahai Runner have always been dissatisfied. Seeing that Li Yahai Runner was valued by County Magistrate Lin, he felt very dissatisfied. In an investigation, Liu Yafai took the opportunity to pour tea for County Magistrate Lin and used his hand to move the two chess pieces that Li Yafai had arranged in advance, and "State" and "Secretary" changed positions. As a result, County Magistrate Lin made a wrong judgment.
County Magistrate Lin’s wife is very talented. She knew the whole story of the matter that Lin soon knew after he made a wrong case. She told her husband: "Someone is fiddling with it, and we should take it as a warning in the future."
2. The case is broken, and the black and white
Since then, County Magistrate Lin no longer uses the method of "official" or "main" to judge cases. During the trial, the wife was changed to the trial in the side room of the court. When the case was to be judged, the wife asked the maid to bring a pen holder to County Magistrate Lin, which contained a pen tube, one end of which was black and the other end of which was white. If the black is above, the plaintiff is unreasonable; if the white is above, the plaintiff is reasonable. By this method, County Magistrate Lin also cut off several fair cases.
One day, when the maid sent the pen guard, the magistrate pretended to say a few more words to the maid in order to cover up his eyes and fiddle with it. As a result, when the maid returned, the black and white of the pen guard had been reversed, and magistrate Lin made the wrong case without any surprise. After leaving the house, the wife told Magistrate Lin that black and white were reversed again and hoped that Magistrate Lin could learn to decide the case by himself, otherwise it would lead to a disaster sooner or later.
After two wrong cases were concluded, Lin Magistrate Lin thought: The case trial depends on the yamen runners, and the right and wrong were messed up; relying on his wife, he turned black and white again. It seems that relying on others to judge the case is not a solution after all.
3. Work hard and finally become Lin Qingtian
0 Since then, Lin Magistrate Lin has studied hard in the past dynasties for review and visits, and often visits privately. When encountering cases, he will first go through double statements and defenses to find out the contradictions, use the contradictions to refute the other party, and then judge the case correctly, and is called Lin Qingtian by the local people.
After hearing the story of Magistrate Lin, the court transferred him back to his hometown in the south to serve as the magistrate. Magistrate Lin finally exchanged his efforts for return home in glory.
4. Learn from history to understand gains and losses
1. Give up on oneself and appointing a yamen runners is just like appointing a temporary worker today. It is only a matter of time before mistakes are made.
2. There is a good wife in the family, and it is expected that a successful counterattack will occur. Behind every man’s success, there is a successful woman.
3. It is great to know that mistakes can be corrected. County Magistrate Lin is not stubborn, but listens to his wife's advice, faces his own mistakes, and strives to improve. He listens to his wife's words, that's right.
4. A blacksmith must be strong himself. If you don’t learn to determine a case, you can determine a case for a while, but it won’t last long.
