Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 19 Finding a Case
Luo Youdu didn't feel pity blindly, but looked at the fat man who could kill a cow with one punch.

The fat man put on a bitter face, cupped his fists and said, "My lord, it is true that the cow was killed by a certain person. But there is a reason for that... After these two days of rest, a certain person wanted to go to the mountains to buy some game teeth for sacrifice. When he came back, he passed by In the outskirts, I saw a mad bull running rampant in the village, and it was about to hurt people. I had no choice but to knock it down. At that time, I thought about subduing it, but never thought about killing it. .”

Luo Youdu looked at the sixty old man and said, "Old man, is this strong man telling the truth?"

The sixty-year-old man faltered and hesitated, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Luo Youdu knew that what the fat man said was not bad, so he asked with a bit of sternness: "Old man, this happened in the village, and we can find out the situation by sending someone to investigate. In the court, it is also a felony to deceive the official. "

The sixty-year-old man was a little frightened when he heard the words, but he seemed to have thought of something, and said forcefully: "He lied, sir, my cow was indeed frightened. But it really didn't hurt anyone, and no one was hurt. Don't believe it, don't believe it. Go ask."

The fat man was anxious and annoyed, and said: "The official can go and investigate. If XX lied, you can kill XX."

He has a reasonable posture that no one is afraid of.

Luo Youdu shook his head with a smile, already having a conclusion in his heart.

The situation is estimated to be as the fat man said, in order to save people, he killed the cattle of the sixty-year-old man by mistake.

But if you really want to investigate, the one who suffers must be the fat man.

The fat man thought of things too simply.

The fat man is an outsider, while the sixty-year-old man is from the village.

It's nonsense to help the manager or not to help the relatives.

Even in later generations, it cannot be done.Let alone ancient times?

The geographical affiliation of the ancients was not so strong, and there was even a theory of regional politics, the most typical one being Chen Deng of the Three Kingdoms.

If the old man's cow really bumped into someone, that's okay.This didn't hit anyone. Ten out of ten people in the village would help the old man instead of the fat man.

If someone feels justice, he helps outsiders.For the people in the whole village, this person is a traitor, and he will poke the back of him wherever he goes.

Luo Youdu asked: "Old man, you said that your cow was bought by your son with his life. What's the matter?"

The sixty-year-old man wiped his tears and said with a choked voice: "The old man's son went to fight the Liao people with the officials. He saved a general and died. The general rewarded us with a cow. When the son died, the wife ran away and left a Eight-year-old baby. This cow is life, without it, how will our grandchildren live."

The fat man's originally annoyed expression also revealed a little complicated.

Luo Youdu sighed secretly, and said: "Old man, I will exchange a live cow for you a dead cow. Can you tell me the situation truthfully?"

The sixty-year-old man stopped crying, looked at the hall with unbelievable eyes, and said, "Really?"

Luo Youdu said: "There is absolutely no falsehood."

The sixty-year-old man seemed to be ashamed and raised his head and said: "But as this strong man said, he, he killed the cow to save Niu Niu...Officer, you...you can't lie to me."

Luo Youdu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll send someone to fetch the cow from the village, and it will only take a day or two at most, and I'll give you a live cow."

It is not a matter of exchanging a dead cow for a live cow.

Everyone knows that beef is delicious.

Just as the old man said, the cow is life.In ancient times, the value of a cow was often even higher than that of a human life.

That's why all dynasties and dynasties have extremely strict management of farming cattle.Those who hurt and kill cattle will be severely punished, and they will be imprisoned for at least two years.

The more troubled the world, the heavier the criminal law for farming cattle.

Just four years ago, Guo Wei usurped Han and ascended the throne, and issued an order of amnesty for the world.

This order has a condition, "felony crimes such as slaughtering cattle, minting money, murder, poisoning, and heinous crimes are not limited to this."

It can be seen that slaughtering cattle in this era is at the same level as killing people.

Only when a cow dies of old age, sickness, or illness can it be reported to the local officials, and then a special person will be sent to slaughter it.Strategic materials such as cowhide and tendon must be turned over to the government.

When the cow is old, the meat will be very bad, and the taste is far worse than that of tender cow.

For some reason, there are always some unruly people in power deliberately causing accidents of death of tender beef in order to eat tender beef, and eat beef openly.

Guo Wei is used to making meritorious deeds, but Guo Rong doesn't accept this. He has severely punished many meritorious nobles and stopped this problem.

This has also led to a surge in the price of tender beef on the market.

There are not a few foodies who are willing to exchange a legal dead cow for a live cow.

According to normal procedures, the sixty-year-old man's report to the government today is considered a false accusation, and he himself will be punished.

But Luo Youdu thought he was getting old, so he didn't punish him too much, and asked the secretary in charge to close the case.

The secretary in charge handed over the case judgment document to Luo Youdu.

Luo Youdu now signed his name on it, and then stamped the official seal.Looking at the documents, he suddenly laughed, and said, "I forgot to ask for your names. You report your names to each other, and you will put a mark on your own name later, and this case is over."

Seeing Luo Youdu's trial of the case clearly, the fat man bowed respectfully and said, "I'm next Zhang Qiong!"

The sixty-year-old man knelt down directly in the tunnel and said, "Hu Sanzhuang, a grassroots man, thank you, the official."

Luo Youdu asked the yamen servant to help the old man up, but his eyes fell on the fat man.

Zhang Qiong, can't it be that Zhang Qiong?
Thinking of his supernatural power to kill a cow with one punch, he suddenly felt that he was inseparable.

In his memory, Zhang Qiong was a general under Zhao Kuangyin's command, equivalent to the captain of the bodyguard. He followed Zhao Kuangyin to the charge and was unparalleled in bravery. He even used his fat body to block Zhao Kuangyin's arrows and save his life.

It's strange to say that Zhao Kuangyin is one of the few emperors in China who treat heroes well.But because of Shi Hanqing's false accusation, someone beat his savior Zhang Qiong to death on the spot, and finally gave him to death in prison.

It has to be said that it is a miracle.

The two drew a pledge on the copy, and Luo Youdu first arranged for the yamen servant to follow the old man to fetch the meat.

Then he said to Zhang Qiong with burning eyes: "Zhang Zhuangshi killed the cow with one punch. This kind of divine power is truly terrifying. The bull butcher committed a felony. The strong man disregarded himself and resolutely shot to save people's lives. It can be said that he has both righteousness and courage. Admiration. Let me be the host, how about inviting a strong man to Koufuzhai to drink wine and eat meat?"

Zhang Qiong swallowed, it doesn't matter whether you drink alcohol or not, but meat is hard to refuse.

Koufuzhai's mutton is a must in Kaifeng.

Luo Youdu secretly laughed in his heart, just now when he was being interrogated, he heard Zhang Qiong say that he would rest for two days and go to the mountains to hunt wild game and hold tooth sacrifices.

Sure enough.

"Let's go!" Luo Youdu didn't wait for Zhang Qiong to refuse, and pulled him outside.

Zhang Qiong half pushed and half agreed, and followed them out of Kaifeng Mansion.

Just after leaving the Kaifeng mansion, a strong man came up to him, his appearance was quite similar to Zhang Qiong's, but he lacked the fat body.
