During the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, a homicide occurred in a county under the jurisdiction of Datong Prefecture in Shanxi. An 18-year-old child was pierced by scissors and died. His 9-year-old cousin was accused of being the murderer. The county magistrate became suspicious and launched an investigation. There is a sad past hidden behind the case...
Li Jiapo, eight miles away from the city, has a family named Li. The head of the family, Li Zhenqi, was nearly 60 years old. At home, there are three sons and one daughter. The sons are all married. The daughter is the youngest and the most well-behaved and sensible. Li Zhenqi and his wife regard them as pearls in the palm of their hands. Married to Hua Jiaoyu of this county (in charge of education in a county) as his wife. Later, the imperial court severely punished the imperial court and the couple were killed because of the imprisonment of the imperial court fraud. There was a minor child named Hua Shan, who was only six years old, and was taken by his grandfather Li Zhenqi to look after him.
Li Zhenqi and his wife regret their bitter daughter, they love Uganda and Uganda, and they are even more affectionate and pampering to Xiaohuashan. They have enough food and clothing, and they take care of themselves. Although Xiao Huashan, who has lost his parents, is ignorant and ignorant, his grandfather and grandmother are deeply concerned about her kindness. The three uncles of Hua Shan had no problem with the arrival of Hua Shan. The younger sister was orphaned, and her parents should take care of her. But the attitudes of the aunts were completely opposite. They regarded Hua Shan as a cumbersome, rather disapproving, especially the beautiful and hypocritical big aunt Wei, who pretended to treat Hua Shan as if they were his own, but spoke badly behind her back.
Uncle Hua Shan Li Congwen did business in remote Yunnan and rarely came back. Due to difficult environmental conditions, Wei and his only son Li Changhong were left at home. Changhong Xiao Huashan was one year old, and his cousins became playmates by themselves. Li Zhenqi invited her husband to study together. Hua Shan was smart and steady, and Changhong was naughty and playful. One is often praised, and the other is often punished. The Wei family's godson had no way, and Huashan often lied to instigate and instigate. The gradually precocious and sensitive Hua Shan, knowing that he was sent under the fence, was scolded and scolded for defense, and often hid in the corner secretly weeping. Grandpa didn't dare to tell the truth completely, because he was afraid of grandpa's anger and searched for his theory. It was even more difficult for him to deal with it.
Several aunts are like this, they often deliberately use poor Hua Shan to tease and scold them. The more maternal grandfather Li Zhenqi loved Xiao Huashan, the more people were jealous and embarrassed him. As the father-in-law, Li Zhenqi couldn’t say anything.Only let Hua Shan stay away from them. But the children are full of play, and living in a large courtyard, can they avoid it?
But she said that the milf-aged Wei family was in the age of tiger and wolf, and her husband was not around all the year round, and she could not bear the loneliness of her empty girlfriend, so she hooked up with the servant Li Gui. Whenever there is a chance, the two secretly fornicate.
The years are long, the white cloud dog, unknowingly, it has been three years since Hua Shan blinked at his grandfather's house. Suddenly one summer afternoon, some of the family went out, and the rest were taking a nap. Only Hua Shan and Changhong were playing "peek-a-boo" in the front yard. But he said that Huashan looked everywhere for the Changhong and couldn't find it. When he arrived at his aunt's room, he heard the sound of rustling in the room, so he whispered twice: "Changhong, Changhong." There was no answer, but I heard it. The more movement in the house.
He thought it was his cousin Changhong playing with him, but he couldn't open the door, and the child's playful psychology became aggravated. He walked around the room and crept into the room from the back window. He saw the movement coming from the bed tent, and he quietly came to the bedside, trying to scare the cousin who had always been ignorant of the height of the sky. I suddenly opened the tent on the bed...
I was stunned on the spot for a while. There was no shadow of Changhong in the tent, only two naked carcasses were intertwined. Although Xiao Huashan had nothing to do, he knew that what the two of them had done was not a good thing, so he turned away in fright. The two people in the account were Wei and Li Gui. The two on Xing's head were shocked, and Wei was ashamed and angry. When he came back to his senses, Li Gui didn't have time to get dressed, so he chased him outside.
At this time, Hua Shan has ran to the door, is opening the latch, trying to seize the door and go out. Wei Shi was afraid of escaping, and while hurriedly dressing, he cast a wink at Li Gui at the scissors on the table. Li Gui understood, picked up the scissors and chased after him. At this time, Hua Shan had opened the door. Li Gui saw that he could not catch up. He waved his hand and threw the scissors to Hua Shan at the door...
Only when he heard "Ah!" Changhong fell to the ground in response. It turned out that the naughty Changhong hid by the door when he saw his mother's room door ringing. He wanted to make a joke with his mother, but when the door opened, he slammed out and Hua Shan drew away in shock.The scissors stabbed in Changhong's throat, and only struggled a few times on the ground, and there was no sound. It happened so suddenly that Xiao Huashan hadn't figured out where the scissors came from. All three were dumbfounded on the spot.
Seeing his son fell to the ground, Wei couldn't vent his anger. He only dragged Hua Shan, who had been frightened, into the house, punching and kicking. Li Gui hurriedly hugged Changhong to the bed in the house to look around, but he was already breathless. Anxious to get dressed, they were stopped by Wei Clan. The two looked at Hua Shan, who was dull-eyed and at a loss...
Wei Clan tied Hua Shan and sent it to the county government. While letting out a mournful voice, it alarmed the family. Someone reported that Li Zhenqi and his wife knew about it. They only said: "Young Master Biao and Young Master were annoyed by playing and stabbed the Young Master to death. Li Zhenqi hurriedly hurried to death. When he came, Wei had ordered Li Gui to find someone to lift the body of Changhong and send Huashan to the county office. His eyes were red, and his eyes were tearful. He bothered the death of his grandson and worried about the situation of his grandson Huashan. Suddenly at a loss, but no good idea, I had to rush to the county office to hear the trial.
However, the county magistrate Huang was quick to make a judgment. He originally served at the Dali Temple in Beijing, but was later released because of offending the powerful. I heard someone complained. , I was promoted to the hall to ask the case. I saw a beautiful lady and a bound child kneeling down in the hall, and they asked: "Lady in the hall, report her name and tie this young child, why? "Wei cried and cried: "The wife of the family, Wei, he was originally a family husband. His parents were beheaded for his crimes, and he was entitled to a foster home. He didn't want him to be sexually violent. The youngest son was one year younger and offended him during playing. He was so fierce that he stabbed the youngest son to death. "
Huang Xianhuan took a closer look at Hua Shan, and saw that he was weak and delicate, and trembling with fright, unlike the wild and unruly child described by Wei. He asked Hua Shan. : "Who is your last name? Why stabbed his cousin to death? To kill is to pay for your life, you know? "Hua Shan looked at his aunt Wei Shi tremblingly and said: "My name is Hua Shan, and my cousin... missed and stabbed... him while playing. Then he lowered his head and asked Wei, "Auntie, are you... and Li Gui... mean, don't you have to pay for the life of a kid who kills...?" "Wei gave a vicious look at Hua Shan, and Hua Shan was so frightened that he didn't dare to say more.
Wei's vicious glance was caught by the magistrate Huang, and he asked sharply, "Who is Li Gui?" Wei Shi hurriedly replied, "Li Gui is my servant. Kill my son, Li Gui is also a witness. He just carried the child's corpse and waited outside the hall." Huang County Order did not speak, and went down to the Yamen, carefully inspected Changhong's injuries, and brought Li Gui to the court for interrogation.
The magistrate Huang looked at that Li Gui, with a face full of raping images. At first glance, he was not a good person. The magistrate Huang "pop!" shot the gavel and asked Li Gui to kill Hua Shan's cousin Recounting the situation, he said: "I was in Wei's room and saw Hua Shan get angry and stabbed Young Master Changhong to death." Huang Xian Lingxin asked him: "What are you doing in your wife's room in the afternoon?" He dare. Then the name was changed to outside the house, and Huang County magistrate asked him while observing Wei's eyes, but seeing the two people's eyes communicate with each other, Wei's stare at him, so he changed his mouth. I understood a bit in my heart.
escorted the two to the hall, and talked with Yan Yuese and Hua Shan alone. After a while, they had already asked about the facts of the case. After that, the Wei family and Li Gui were sent to prison, and they were sentenced to big punishment without any explanation. The adulterer and the adulterer had a hard mouth at first, but soon he was tortured. He broke Hua Shan's affair, and Li Gui killed Changhong by mistake. The two threatened to trick Hua Shan into taking responsibility, and they made it clear. I thought that as long as the "murderer" Hua Shan pleaded guilty, the county magistrate would close the case hastily, but he came across the county magistrate Huang, who has always been rigorous in handling cases. The old man Li Zhenqi stomped his feet with anger outside the hall.
Huang County magistrate angrily sentenced in court: Wei has committed adultery with a bad servant and has killed his young son. It is really self-inflicted. He falsely accuses him of the sixty board and drives him out of the court. . The wicked servant Li Gui had an affair with the housewife and wanted to kill someone. Although it was accidentally wounded, he was sentenced to be executed on the basis of murder. Hua Shan was acquitted. This case has ended.
Before Wei's 60th board was finished, Jiuquan was killed in shame and anger.
Odd case review:
People are doing, the sky is watching. "If people are good, although the blessing has not come, the misfortune has been far away; if people are evil, although the misfortune has not come, the blessing has been far away." Master Liao Fan's words are truly classic. The Wie's woman in this case is a clear proof.Her own injustice has caused misfortunes, but she wants to deceive the world and hide her from the sky, so that a miserable young child will pay for her sins. Huang Xian ordered this sentence to respond to the hearts of the gods and the people.
