Gui Jian in Prison is a compilation of ancient famous cases in China compiled by Zheng Ke in Song Dynasty, which records many examples of "strange detectives" using wisdom to solve crimes in Tang Dynasty.
Let the old woman help solve the case. According to the book "Guide to Breaking Prison Turtles", during the Zhenguan period of Emperor Taizong, the owner of an inn in Weizhou was called Zhang Qian. One day, his wife went back to visit her family. Three tourists, including Zheng Yang, stayed in the shop. They were all from Weizhou Sanwei, and left at five o'clock that night because of the long journey.
That night, someone secretly took Zheng Yang's sabre, killed Zhang Wei, and then put the weapon back into the scabbard. Zheng Yang and they didn't notice it at all. At dawn, the people in the shop caught up with them, examined them and found that the knife was covered with blood, so they arrested the three of them and sent them to the government. Under torture, they had no choice but to admit to killing someone.
Later, when the case was reported to the court, Emperor Taizong became suspicious and sent suggestions to Jiang Chang for review. Jiang is often a famous "strange detective", and the cases he solved are irrefutable evidence. Jiang Chang had a plan in mind after reading the document. As soon as he arrived at the crime scene, he asked more than 0/5 people in the original store/kloc-to be together. However, he hasn't been here for a long time, so Jiang often lets them all go back, except for an old lady in her eighties, who didn't let her go home until very late. At the same time, secretly sent a person with experience in handling cases and solving cases to secretly follow the old woman and tell him: "If anyone talks to this old woman, write down his name at once." Sure enough, someone asked the old woman, "What did the people above ask you?"
Three days ago, this man came to ask this mother-in-law. The old woman is blind and deaf, and she can't tell why.
Therefore, Jiang often lets this person get caught. After the trial, he explained in detail the fact that he had committed adultery with Zhang's wife and killed Zhang Mouwei to frame tourists. After verification and execution, Zheng Yang and others were acquitted.
This is exactly: "although my mother-in-law is old and useful, I suggest a clever trick to lure the real murderer;" Love is proud of daring to try the law, wasting wisdom. "
Let the words out refer to the three-year turtle book of the securities supervisor: Zhang | In the Tang Dynasty, when he was the magistrate of Heyang County, a man named Lv Yuan forged a letter from the warehouse supervisor and stole official grain. After the incident, Chen Feng denied that he wrote the letter, but Lv Yuan insisted that he did. The two sides held their own words and could not make a judgment for a long time.
Zhang | looked at the case file carefully, thought it over carefully, and came up with a countermeasure: he sent Lv Yuan to ask officials to bring Lv Yuan's words in public, fold out a line of words, cover both ends, leaving only one word in the middle, and then asked Lv Yuan: "Look at this word, if you wrote it, write a' yes' word, if you didn't write it, write a' no' word. Maybe Lv Yuan thought it was his forged letter that was covered up. He felt guilty and wrote a word "no". Zhang | Let the section chief show him what covers both ends. It turned out that it was written by Lv Yuan, so I hit him 50 times. Then take out Lv Yuan's fake letter and cover both ends in the same way, leaving only one word in the middle to ask Lv Yuan. Lv Yuan wrote a "yes" and then took off the things covered at both ends. Lv Yuan saw that this was a letter written by Chen Feng, and he forged it! At this point, Lv Yuan had nothing to say, but bowed their heads and pleaded guilty.
Zhang | used psychological tactics. In the truth, Lv Yuan was puzzled and finally revealed the clues. Finally, he had to admit his crime and accept legal sanctions.
This is exactly: "it is true and false not to bully things with things, but to oppress people with things;" Words can be said silently, and it is difficult to escape after all. "
Records of Traditional Chinese Opera and History of Tang Que are collections of legendary novels compiled by Kang Pian in Tang Dynasty and Gao Yanlin respectively. In the wonderful novels, there are also some cases of "strange detectives" in the Tang Dynasty.
Let the gold speak. According to the Record of Drama, when Li Mian was guarding Fengxiang in the Tang Dynasty, a farmer in the county dug up a large pot of horseshoe gold while plowing. They consciously took it to the county government. The county magistrate is very responsible. He was afraid that the officials in charge of the warehouse would be careless and make mistakes, so he told them to carry the big urn to his room and keep it under his nose.
Who knows, the next day, the magistrate opened the big urn and was shocked. There is no gold nugget, and the urn is full of clods. Helpless, I had to report the situation to my superiors, and the government sent officials to trace it. The magistrate couldn't explain it, so I had to admit that I had replaced the clod with a horseshoe. Ask him where the gold is. The magistrate began to say that horseshoe gold was buried in the soil and stolen; It was later said that it was thrown into the water, and there was no definite place. It's hard to justify. Although the last gold was not hidden anywhere, everyone thought that there was no doubt that the county magistrate replaced horseshoe gold with clods.
One day, officials in the yamen had a collective dinner, and when they talked about it, they all sighed and felt sorry for the magistrate. Yuan Zi, a calligrapher who went to Hunan as an observer, was in this shogunate at that time, but he was the only one who questioned the case. Li Mian ordered him to transfer the case from the county to the house for trial, so as to get to the bottom of it.
Yuan Zi knows that this is a difficult case, but if it is not made clear, the county magistrate may be wronged for life. First, he carefully looked at the big urn and took out 250 clods from it. I also asked the person who dug up the urn first, and the person said that two people carried it to the county seat with a big bamboo pole. Hearing this, Yuan Zi was thoughtful. He immediately sent someone to the shop in the street to get some silver, melted it, cast it into silver pieces of the same size according to the shape of clods, and weighed it. Only half of it was weighed, and it weighed 300 Jin. Even so, isn't gold heavier? Calculating its total weight is by no means something that two people can lift with a bamboo pole. Therefore, Yuan Zi concluded that the gold nuggets had been replaced by clods on the way to the county seat. Obviously, the county magistrate was wronged. Yuan Zi was conscientious and skillful, and finally cleared a wrong case.
This is precisely: "Being an official is responsible for the official position, so that there will be no grievances in the world; Intelligence seems to be a very common thing, and it takes a lot of effort to get it. "
According to the History of Que in the Tang Dynasty, during the period when Tang Chaoyi lived in Xian Tong, there were two farmers in Huaiyin County, Chuzhou, one lived in the east of the village and the other in the west of the village, and the two families were friends for generations. The village owner borrowed 1000 yuan from the village owner with his own title deed as collateral, and both parties agreed to repay the principal and interest and redeem the title deed in the next year. After the loan expires, the borrower, who only has 800 yuan, will give it to the lender first, and it is agreed to pay off the owed 200 yuan and its interest the next day and redeem the house deed. Because the two families are family friends, and it has only been a short night, the borrower who owes money has not asked the lender to write a receipt.
Unexpectedly, people are unpredictable. The next day, when the borrower went to the lender to redeem the house deed with the balance as agreed, he turned his back and refused to accept his 800 yuan yesterday. Helpless, people who owe money sued the county government, but they lost because they said there was no evidence. He went to the state capital to complain again, but it was still fruitless.
When the farmers who owed money felt desperate, they heard that Zhao He was a native of Tianshui and worked as a county magistrate in Jiangyin County. He is good at solving crimes and can solve difficult cases from a few words and clues, so he crossed the Yangtze River and went to Jiangyin County to find Zhao He to complain and redress grievances. Zhao He is embarrassed because his position is very low and this case is beyond his jurisdiction. However, looking at the dying poor man who owed money, the kind Zhao He made an exception and accepted the case.
But litigation is evidence. What shall we do? Zhao He stayed up all night and finally came up with a clever plan. The next day, Zhao He sent the chief to Huaiyin County to deliver the official document, saying that Jiangyin County had captured the Jiang Yang thief, and the rogue who was lending money at the time of the trial was an accomplice, requesting the county to arrest and send it. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, robbers who robbed rivers and lakes with knives were not allowed to take refuge in neighboring counties, and hooligans were escorted to Jiangyin County.
That scoundrel has done nothing wrong and is not afraid of ghosts knocking at the door. Zhao He said that what the robbers robbed was not agricultural products, but gold and silver treasures, which should be counted and identified in the rogue's home. In order to clean up the grievances and excuse himself, the gangster racked his brains and wrote down all the gold and silver treasures in the family, including 800 yuan returned to him by the borrower. The gangster was bent on getting rid of the Jiang Yang thief, but he didn't expect the debtor to cross the border to complain. And that's what Zhao He wants most.
Zhao He smiled and said to him with a list written by a gangster in his hand, "It seems that you didn't participate in the robbery of Jiang Yang thieves, but why don't you admit that you received 800 yuan from people who owe money?" And immediately sent people who owed money to confront the hooligans. The witnesses were there, and the gangsters could no longer deny it, so they had to bow their heads and truthfully confess that they had received 800 yuan, who owed money. The gangster was taken back to his hometown, not only returned the title deed of the debtor, but also was punished by the government.
This is exactly: "Zhao Heqiu is a model, please enter the urn, it is still unknown; The hooligans themselves reveal clues, and the losses will eventually be returned. "
