Back in Xiaye Village, while he was making medicine for his father, there was a noise at the door. He hurriedly went out to take a look, and an iron chain clanged around his neck. Several government officials gathered around him and said, "Brother, your
The case has been committed, come with us to the county government office."
Case, what case? I am a medicine practitioner in my own right, and I never do anything illegal, so I must have been wronged. Ye Dimin shouted loudly: "It's a small injustice. The government has to find a basis for arresting people."
."
Whenever someone is arrested, they cry out for injustice. The yamen officer has seen this kind of thing a lot, so he said: "Is it unfair? I went to the county yamen hall and told me that something was stolen from Zhou Yuanwai's house. It involved the innocence of his daughter and a human life. You just bought the dirty things.
The pawnshop owner reported you."
"A gift from the monkey?" In the lobby, after listening to his story, the county magistrate sneered and said, "Do you think I will believe your talk of nonsense? It is extremely ridiculous. It seems that there is no need for severe punishment.
You don’t know how to recruit someone, come here and give me ten big blows first.”
After going down the ten boards, Ye Dimin continued to cry out for injustice, insisting that the monkey had sent it. The villagers in the village also testified that he had gone to the mountains to collect medicine due to his father's illness these days and had never been to Pantan.
"Is there anyone who has a witness for going into the mountains to collect herbs? Do you believe what he says?" The county magistrate said solemnly: "I will never decide a case haphazardly."
It's really hard to find a witness. The medicine is collected in the deep mountains and old forests, in the middle of nowhere. The only people who can prove themselves are these monkeys. However, the monkeys come and go without a trace. Where can I find it on my own?
But it was a matter of a person's innocence, so he had no choice but to endure the pain and lead the government servants towards the virgin forest.
"Looking for Monkey"
In the courtroom, the sound of alarmed wood sounded,
The county magistrate has great authority.
Who can trust a monkey to give gifts?
My butt has been slapped ten times.
This matter is a wonder among wonders,
Don't blame me for not believing it.
Take the yamen to search for monkeys in the mountains,
Only then can the unjust case be cleared.
What's this life lawsuit about? It turns out that the Li family is a scholarly family in the north. The previous generation fled to Xianju because of the Jin soldiers going south. When they first moved to Xianju, they were helpless and had no one to rely on. The Zhou family
As a result, the two families became close friends. Gradually, the Li family took root in Xianju and became well-known local sages. Because of their gratitude to the Zhou family, the two families arranged a marriage that year. The grandson of the Li family was smart.
He was studious, and his grades in Tongjiang Academy were excellent. The family was very optimistic about him, thinking that he would definitely be able to go to high school at that age. Gradually, they began to dislike the Zhou family's merchant background. Miss Zhou was born into a merchant family.
Although she is not a great beauty, she has a bold personality. She has to help the family with the business, and naturally has some interactions with customers. At the same time, she has not had her feet bound since she was a child. Because of this, the Li family said she was unruly.
They sent someone to break off the engagement. The Zhou family naturally refused. The Li family used the excuse that the jewelry they gave her during the engagement was lost, and it was Miss Zhou who gave it to her sweetheart. The Zhou family couldn't stand this rumor, so they went to Miss Zhou's room to check and found out that the jewelry they gave her was missing.
The box was missing, but there were a lot of other valuable items, so they started to trace it. Ms. Zhou couldn't bear the injustice, so she committed suicide by taking poison. Because the injustice was not clear, the body was not buried. The family handed a piece of paper to the county government, and the county magistrate
The Lord ordered a strict investigation, drew a pattern of jewelry, and ordered each pawnshop to pay attention to whether anyone was pawning it. Just like that, Ye Dimin bumped into the muzzle of the gun.
The guest asked: "This monkey comes and goes nowhere, how can anyone find it?"
This is for ordinary people. For people who are familiar with monkey activity patterns, it is not difficult to find them, because monkeys have a strong sense of territory. Generally, they will only move in their own territory. If they go out of bounds, they will cause a group of monkeys.
The war between them. The Yedi people have been burrowing in the deep mountains all year round, so they naturally know the rules of their activities.
On the way to find the monkey, Ye Dimin saw a lame old man on the mountain road, lying on the ground moaning and looking in great pain. He hurried over and asked Shi Shi with concern: "Old man, what's the matter?"
He saw two government officials following him, with thin iron chains around their necks, and said angrily: "The old man's leg was injured, so he is lying here. You, a prisoner, can't even protect yourself, and you still have thoughts."
Do you mind the business of a poor old man like me?"
Seeing his painful look, he couldn't help but beg for mercy from the yamen servant, collected some herbs on the spot, and gave him some simple bandages. The old man stared at him, said no thanks, and picked up the cane.
He walked away clucking away.
"Young Master is still kind-hearted." The yamen servant complained, "What a strange man. He doesn't even say thank you for being kind to others."
Ye Dimin felt more sympathy for him in his heart. He looked at the terrain carefully. Within half a day, the monkeys found it. However, how to communicate with the monkeys and let them prove to themselves that this string of pearls was given to them.
What? Monkeys can't talk. In addition, with the presence of government officials, the monkey was afraid and avoided strangers. It stopped on a branch dozens of meters away. He stood underground for a long time and made gestures, but the monkeys still didn't know what he meant.
.
The guests were also talking about how to communicate with monkeys. This is indeed a big problem. Otherwise, this lawsuit will never be settled. The guests could not think of a way and said: "Let's have a drink with cold peanuts and have a good drink while listening."
Tell a story."
"Drunken Spring·Cold Peanuts"
Peanuts and cucumber are the best food to go with wine. Peel the fruit, cut the melon into cubes, and soak it in salt, rice vinegar.
Add a few drops of sesame oil, coriander, chili pepper, and oyster sauce. Mix it thoroughly and let it cool down. The sun and moon in the pot will dawn on the drinker.
The guest sipped his wine and perked up his ears. Jin Huabin continued: "After gesturing for a long time, I took out the necklace and showed it to the monkey, but the monkey still didn't understand.
When everyone was at a loss what to do, there was a clicking sound of crutches hitting the ground behind them. It was the old man who was rescued by the Yedi people on the road. He said to them: "I know this monkey. You are a kind-hearted young man. Let me help you."
Let me help you."
After saying that, he came to the monkey and muttered something in his mouth. He saw the monkey running away, and after a while, he was holding a jewelry box, which was the one where the lady put the necklace.
Several monkeys were brought to the county government hall as witnesses. The county magistrate asked questions, and the lame man acted as an interpreter. The two monkeys held jewelry boxes in their hands and chattered back. The whole process was just as Ye Dimin said in the court hall before,
There is no falsehood. Humans and monkeys have not been able to collude in confession before.
"Beast Language"
The old cripple knows bestiality,
In the court, everyone was shocked.
The monkey squeaked,
The old man translated it into human language.
The animal's heart is simple, but the human heart is complex,
People who understand animal language are also ordinary.
Three or five words of getting rid of the grievances,
After a while, the truth came out.
Seeing that the lame man's translation was reasonable, the onlookers nodded frequently. It seemed that the Yedi people had been wronged, so the county magistrate ordered his release and returned his money. At the same time, he rewarded the monkeys with some fresh fruits and released them back into the forest.
