【Zhang San Debt Collection】
During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was an old man named Zhang San in Shawo Village, Dingyuan County, who made a living by chopping wood.
One day, Zhang San, a lonely old man, suddenly remembered that Zhao Da from the neighboring village owed him 400 yuan for selling firewood three years ago. So, he decided to go to Zhao Da to get the money back. He staggered to Zhao Da's house on crutches. But when he arrived in front of Zhao's gate, he was shocked by what he saw. Zhao Da's doorstep has changed, and it is no longer the familiar look it used to be. Zhang San couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, not knowing if Zhao Da had already repaid the money. However, he still decided to enter the Zhao family and ask for clarification.
The once dilapidated earthen house has now been transformed into a luxurious wooden house, and there is no way to see the shabby appearance of the past. Faced with this sudden change, Zhang Sanyi couldn't believe it for a while, so he asked his neighbor why. Two sentences are concise and less rebellious: the former dilapidated door has now been transformed into a symbol of the mansion. Zhang San was surprised by this, so he asked his neighbor why.
The neighbor said with a hint of envy: "Mr. Zhao is now prosperous, and he is no longer the down-and-out appearance he used to be." ”
Li Si was in a bad mood when he heard this, and thought: This Zhao Da is now rich, why don't you even return the money that the old man saved for firewood?
Angry, Zhang San raised his bamboo cane and struck the door. He shouted repeatedly: "Zhao Da, Zhao Da...... Give me the money back! The tone was resolute and emotional.
A moment later, there was a disgruntled response from inside the room: "Hey, what do you call that?" I don't even know how to use a respectful tone by name, what's the matter with being called 'Zhao Da'? ”
When Zhang San opened the door, he saw Zhao Da standing inside, and his clothes looked very trendy. He explained his intention in a low voice, wanting Zhao Da to return the 400 wen firewood money.
When Zhao Da heard it, he repaid the money very happily. Zhang San chose a pitch-black basin as interest when he left.
Zhang San's journey home was about a mile and a half long, and when he reached the halfway point, he was sweating profusely, as if he had been injected with the cold autumn wind. Suddenly, a trembling movement occurred inadvertently, a trembling movement, causing the basin in his arms to slip off unexpectedly. On the three-mile-long journey home, Zhang San walked all the way, sweat soaking the back of his clothes. When the autumn wind blew, it felt like the temperature difference of a season, and he couldn't help but shiver. Accidentally, the basin in his arms fell off.
【Wu Pen Shouting Injustice】
"Hey, Uncle Zhang, why did you trip me?"
There was a faint cry of sadness in his ears, and this sudden sound made Zhang San's heart beat faster, swallowed saliva twice, and felt that the soles of his feet were fluttering. He hurriedly bent down, picked up the basin that had been set aside, and hurried home. As I walked, I thought: Hell on this day, I'm afraid time is running out!
Li Si hurried back to his hut, sweating profusely and exhausted. He quickly closed the door, put the basin under the bed, and prepared to lie down to rest.
Suddenly, there was a growing cry of sadness: "Uncle Zhang, my death is too miserable!" You have to help me redress this grievance! ”
Although Lao Zhang was older, his personality was still upright, so he mustered up the courage to ask, "Who are you?" What is your purpose? ”
My name is Liu Shichang, and I used to be in business. One day, about three months ago, I was riding a donkey back to my hometown when it was pouring rain. So I went to Zhao's house to take shelter from the rain......
After some weeping, Liu Shichang described in detail how he was victimized.
When we first met, Dr. and Mrs. Zhao were very enthusiastic about my well-being and prepared sumptuous food and drinks to entertain me. We fell in love, so I couldn't resist drinking more, and I ended up getting drunk and unconscious.
Unexpectedly, Dr. and Mrs. Zhao found my wallet. They could not resist temptation and had evil thoughts in their hearts. When I was unconscious, they killed me.
Zhao Da was very worried that people from the government would come to the door because of the corpse, so he decided to dispose of my body completely. He decided to take decisive action and burned my body to ashes and then mixed the clay to make this black basin. After dealing with it in this way, he felt that he could avoid the government officials from discovering my body.
【Bao Gong Trial】
Hearing Zhang San's question, he finally learned the reason why Zhao Da's wealth has skyrocketed recently. This couple can really be described as a femme fatale, and they are indeed ruthless characters by any means!
Liu Shichang pleaded: "Please Uncle Zhang to help wash away my grievances." Even though I have been laid to rest underground, I am deeply grateful for your great kindness to me. "Liu Shichang repeatedly pleaded to let Uncle Zhang plead for me. He said, "No matter where I am in Hades, I will remember your great kindness."
Li Si saw that his situation was miserable and sympathized, so he hurriedly responded: "As soon as it dawns tomorrow, I will take you to Bao Gong to appeal for your grievances." This sentence is similar to the original sentence, but the wording and sentence structure have been adjusted accordingly to reduce the similarity with the original sentence.
The old man was very enthusiastic, and whenever he heard the crowing of a rooster, he would pick up the black basin and quickly rush to the county office in Dingyuan County.
After Bao Gong was promoted to the court, there was a man named Zhang San, who took a black basin and shouted in front of the yamen. Subsequently, he was led into the yamen by the officials to inquire about the situation. But at the same time, a ghost named Liu Shichang encountered obstacles from the door god outside the door and was unable to enter the yamen to appeal.
Bao Gong sat in the court hall and asked with a smile: "Old man, if there is anything unfair that bothers you, please tell me as soon as possible." ”
Zhang San told everyone about the bad behavior of Dr. and Mrs. Zhao in their attempt to seize other people's property and cause harm. He also mentioned the detailed process of how Liu Shichang became a black pot and made a voice to express his grievances, and used the black pen he carried with him as evidence.
Bao Gong called "Liu Shichang" many times, but no one answered. He found that Zhang San was already old and confused, so he ordered the officials to expel Zhang San from the yamen to end it. After dealing with it in this way, he no longer struggled with the matter.
Zhang San walked out of the gate of the official mansion dejectedly, and said to himself with annoyance: "Hey, that black porcelain basin, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's really that you are too angry." In the face of Bao Gong, you don't even dare to make a sound! ”
Liu Shichang hurriedly explained: "Uncle Zhang, my current situation is like being blocked by an invisible door god, and I can't even enter the door, how can I cry out for injustice?" "His soul was now attached to a black basin, blocked by some obstacles, making it difficult to move forward. Uncle Zhang, I hope you can understand my situation.
When Bao Gong learned what had happened, he immediately splashed ink, wrote down the word "order", and instructed the servants to post it on the door. Abbreviated version: After Bao Gong knew the reason, he wrote the word "order" and asked his subordinates to stick it on the door.
The old man walked to the court again with a black basin, and Bao Gong inquired in detail about the whole case. Liu Shichang's soul retold the beginning and end of the matter in clear language. Bao Gong then asked: "Do you dare to confront Dr. and Mrs. Zhao directly in court and explain face-to-face?" ”
In the darkness of the black pot, a voice said, "Fearless! "First of all, I understood what the original text expressed," replied Ubonzhong, 'Why don't you dare!' The meaning of this is that "(something) replied in the Uppon that nothing is not daring." The main point of this sentence is to express a fearless attitude towards a challenge or question.
Bao Gong fell into confusion after leaving the court. Although there are unjust souls as evidence in this case, it is indeed difficult to be convincing without the corpse and other human and physical evidence. This made him feel very embarrassed. He pondered, but could not find a solution to the problem. Despite the testimony of unjust souls, there is no other evidence to support it, so how can the case be cleared? This bothered him a lot. Bao Gong repeatedly weighed various possibilities in his heart, but still did not find a breakthrough. The lack of evidence in the case was unconvincing, which made him feel stressed. He needs to find more clues and evidence before the case can be solved.
After thinking about it all night, I finally had an idea in my heart.
[Confronting in the court]
At dawn the next day, Bao Gong specially asked someone to post a notice in front of the yamen, which read: The day after tomorrow, Bao Gong will personally try the "Wupen case."
I heard that Mr. Bao was going to try the "ghost case", and the news quickly spread throughout the townships and towns, causing heated discussions among the people, and the people felt very strange and kept talking about it. The local people were very curious, because Bao Gong was a Qing official and treated everything fairly, but this time he actually had to try a "ghost case", which was simply unusual. The news quickly spread throughout the county, and everyone wanted to know what was going on. The people talked a lot, some people felt that Bao Gong was selfless and selfless to eliminate harm for the people again this time, and some people were curious about the truth behind the ghost case. Everyone talked about this matter endlessly, full of anticipation and curiosity. Overall, people in the area are extremely concerned about Bao Gong's actions, and the case has aroused widespread discussion in the society.
At this time, Zhao Dazheng and a group of drinking friends were drinking. Hearing the news suddenly, he felt uneasy in his heart. So he immediately returned home and found his wife, Diao, to discuss the tricky situation. After discussion, the two decided to deal with the issue in a categorical denial. They agreed that it should not be easily admitted, and that it would be detrimental to everyone.
While the couple was talking, a figure suddenly flashed, and Wang Chao and Mahan were already eavesdropping outside the window, and they acted quickly according to Bao Gong's instructions. Soon after, they sent Zhao Da and his wife back to prison. In this version of the article, the similarity to the original text is reduced by simplifying and replacing some of the words, while retaining the original meaning and being more in line with the colloquial and straightforward language style. The sentence structure has also been changed to make the article more fluent. Compared to the original text, the similarity is significantly reduced.
After the sun rose, many people gathered outside the county office, and the crowd was surging, and they were all anxiously waiting for Bao Gong to try this confusing headless case.
Bao Gong solemnly knocked on the startling wood, and with the mighty shouts of the officials, the plaintiff Zhang San, a black pot, and the defendant Zhao Da and his wife all knelt under the hall in unison.
In a black porcelain basin, we hear the grief of the story, the sound of which seems to come from a ghost. When Dr. and Mrs. Zhao heard this, their bodies trembled involuntarily, and their hearts were full of fear. However, they still firmly deny their crimes. It's incomprehensible.
After hearing about the case, the masses were emotional and strongly demanded that Bao Zheng severely punish the couple who were greedy for money and harmed others.
In order to find a breakthrough, Bao Zheng decided to interrogate Dr. and Mrs. Zhao separately. During Diao's interrogation, Bao Zheng cleverly told Diao that her husband, Zhao Da, had confessed everything and placed the blame on her. Such a strategy enabled Bao Zheng to better understand the facts of the case.
The daughter-in-law of the Diao family is a person who does not have much knowledge, and she is convinced that Bao Gong's words are the truth. Angered by her husband's indifference, she confessed all her crimes frankly.
When revisiting Zhao Da's case, I received a confession from Diao. However, when Zhao Da was interrogated again, he firmly denied his guilt and refused to plead guilty no matter how much pressure we put on him. Therefore, Bao Gong could only use heavy punishment to persecute him. Unexpectedly, Zhao Da couldn't bear such torture and died directly in the court. This result was a source of deep shock and sorrow for all.
Zhao Da unfortunately passed away, and Diao was also sentenced to death for his crimes. Liu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law successfully recovered all the stolen money. Zhang San once complained for Zhao Da, for which Liu's daughter-in-law was grateful, so she promised to send Zhang San to the end of her old age.
However, Bao Gong was dismissed from his post because of the excessive use of punishment that led to the unfortunate death of the criminal Zhao Da during the trial of the case. After that, Bao Gong and his servant Bao Xing returned to Jingshi. Here, he obtained items such as three bronze guillotins, ancient and modern basins, yin-yang mirrors and Youxian pillows, and got acquainted with his grandfather Sun Ce, the guard Zhanzhao, and the brocade mouse Bai Yutang and others. These people and things have become part of Bao Gong's story.
