Chapter 3 Conscience will hurt(2/2)
"Hahahaha..." There was a roar of laughter outside the main hall.
The people watching the excitement did not think it was a big deal. They wiped away the tears from laughter and secretly moved forward, fearing that the distance would be too far and affect their "appreciation" of the wonderful "performance" in the lobby.
To their surprise and slight disappointment, the new young inspector, although he didn't even have a beard, acted more experienced than the forty-year-old former inspector Chen Ping.
Neither angry nor anxious, she sat calmly behind the desk, patiently listening to Hou Zhang's cry. It wasn't until Hou Zhang cried that she had no energy left, then she smiled and said, "Come here, give her a break."
Seat, let her sit and answer!"
"A civilian woman, a civilian woman doesn't dare to sit down! In front of an inspection, a civilian woman doesn't dare to make a mistake."
I was already prepared to cry again whenever the inspector asked about the case, but I didn't expect that the young inspector's first sentence was to ask him to take a seat. At that moment, Mrs. Hou Zhang was at a loss.
His eyes were filled with tears and he waved his hands repeatedly.
"I told you to sit down. You sit down. This inspector lowered his head to look at you and his neck hurts!" Han Qing raised his hand and rubbed the back of his neck, his voice slightly raised. "Besides, it's not a shocking case. Who cares about you kneeling down?"
go!"
Still not acting according to common sense, Hou Zhang's tears suddenly didn't know whether he should continue to flow out. After seven or eight breaths, he stood up aggrievedly, bowed and saluted: "A civilian woman, don't you?"
Dare, it would be nice if the civilian woman stood and went back for inspection!"
"That's fine, it's up to you!" Han Qing waved his hand, signaling Xiang Yong to carry away the newly moved seat.
Immediately, he smiled and asked Hou Zhang in a soft voice: "You accused Zhou Lezi of Zhoujiabao of stealing your cattle, do you have any evidence?"
"Inspection inspection, you have to make decisions for civilian women..." Hou Zhang was waiting for these words, and he knelt down again and cried loudly.
"Don't cry, stand up and tell me the evidence. This inspector is from out of town, and I don't understand your local dialect. If you cry, I can't understand it even more!" Han Qing glanced at her and responded with a slight tone.
Got a little annoyed.
Hou Zhang was startled and her tears stopped abruptly.
Han Qing glanced at him, frowned and asked, "You accused Zhou Lezi from Zhoujiabao of stealing your cattle, do you have any evidence? I can't let the inspector immediately send someone to arrest him after listening to your cry?"
"Yes, yes!" Mrs. Hou Zhang did not dare to continue crying, stood up, waved her arms and responded loudly, "That Zhou Lezi is a low-life, cheating and abducting, and doing all kinds of bad things. If you don't believe me, just ask the inspector.
, these ten miles and eight villages..."
"This inspection is asking for evidence! If you have it, bring it out. As for whether he is a promiscuous person, what does it have to do with whether he stole your cattle?" Han Qing tapped the ruler lightly and interrupted in a low voice.
.
"I just lost my big ox, and his family got a big ox! They look exactly the same!" Hou Zhang waved his hands and stamped his feet, fearing that his words were not convincing enough.
"Most farm cattle in this area are yellow. There must be a mark, or something special that makes it easy to identify! Only this inspection can award the cattle to you." Han Qing smiled and frowned as he reminded.
"My big scalper has the word "Hou" burned on his butt!" Hou Zhang immediately knew what he was going to say, stamped his foot again, and emphasized loudly.
"Did his cow also have the word "Hou" burned on its butt?" Han Qing's brows furrowed even more tightly, and her smile quickly disappeared. "Did you see clearly? I will send someone to check immediately. If not,
Hou Zhang, you must bear the consequences."
""This, this..." Hou Zhang was caught off guard again, his eyes widened with tears, and he added in a hoarse voice, "He, he burned the mark off. He, his big scalper, has a scar in the same position.
.”
"You just concluded that his cow was stolen from your family just because it has a scar in the same position?" Han Qing was funny and angry at the same time, shaking his head and whispering.
cross-examination.
"It must have been freshly permed. The woman could tell at a glance that he deliberately permed the scar because he was afraid that the woman would ask him for it! Inspection, please make the decision for the woman. The rhubarb belongs to the woman's family...
..." Mrs. Hou Zhang grinned and howled loudly.
"Hehehe..." Before Han Qing could get angry, laughter was already bursting out at the entrance of the main hall.
Everyone heard the problem from the previous conversation between Inspector Han and Mrs. Hou Zhang.
I'm sorry, this Hou Hou Zhang has no evidence at all, it's like he won the lawsuit by crying!
How can anything be so cheap in the world?!
That is to say, Inspector Han had a good temper and would not argue with her. But Inspector Chen, who had a bad temper, had ordered someone to beat her out with a stick a long time ago. How could he have the patience to listen to her continued mourning?!
When Mrs. Hou Zhang heard the roar of laughter, she couldn't stop crying. She raised her hand and rubbed her eyes hard, and added loudly: "That week, the leper was eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and took over everything. Where did he get the money to buy the cow? My family is big.
As soon as the scalper lost the cow, his family suddenly had a cow. If it didn't steal from my family, where did it come from?"
"My big scalper is spiritual. That day I found the cow in Zhoujiapu. I shouted through the door, and the big cow banged its head against the door while barking."
"I asked Zhou Lezi to tell me where the cows came from, but he refused to tell me no matter what. He even threw the toilet at me! I'm a poor woman..."
As she spoke, she started crying again. Although her voice was much softer than before, it was heartbreaking. The laughter at the entrance of the lobby quickly weakened.
Han Qing listened but was not moved at all.
In litigation in the 21st century, the evidence that matters is not which of the two parties is more pitiable or whose moral character is poor. Hou Zhang's cry sounds quite sympathetic, but as evidence, it is far from weighty.
He was about to point out the problems in the other party's words and quickly close the case. A stinging pain suddenly surged in his heart. Immediately, Han Qing's body froze, and the words that had reached his mouth stopped abruptly.
The next moment, a clear text flashed in my mind.
"Whenever you buy or sell cattle, livestock, boats or carts, a written deed must be made, and the county government will seal it within three days. If the road is long, you can stay in the countryside to be a middleman, and the seal will be delayed for a hundred days."
It is clearer than Internet search results and far more conscientious than a certain degree.
His body stiffened slightly again, and Han Qing immediately knew whose memory this was.
Helplessly pressing his chest with the edge of the table, he lowered his head and reminded Hou Zhang softly, "Since you are so sure that the scalper belongs to your family, I will send someone to ask that Zhou Leizi to hand over the transaction document."
, just take it out and verify it in public."
"Since he said he bought the cow, there will always be a contract or a suitable person. If not, the cow will be cut off from you, so he must have nothing to say!"
"If he gets the deed and the verification is correct, maybe the cow really belongs to him. Mr. Hou Zhang, don't accuse him unjustly then. Zhoujiabao and Houjiazhuang are separated by a river, so they are neighbors...
"
Hou Zhang was so anxious that he waved his arms and interrupted sadly: "Inspection, you may not know that Hou Leizi has always been able to deceive people. He may have forged the cow purchase contract and deceived the official seal stamped by the county government!
"
"So, you have already read Wenqi?" Han Qing asked in a deep voice with a straight face. The pressure in his heart disappeared instantly, replaced by the genuine embarrassment.
"The deed in his hand must be a forgery, a forgery." Hou Zhang's voice became more and more shrill, and he waved his arms as if he wanted to tear the cattle stealer to pieces on the spot.
"If it was a forgery, why did the county government stamp the deed for him?" Han Qing was not moved by the other party's momentum at all. While feeling the reaction of his heart, he frowned and asked in a low voice.
"The government was deceived by him!" Hou Zhang was so angry and anxious that he blurted out the words without thinking.
"Since it's a business, there has to be a middleman. Zhou Leizi may have forged the document, but it's impossible that he can even forge the middleman?" Han Qing knew that the other party was starting to mess around, but he didn't get angry at all and continued to ask with a smile.
"He found an accomplice to impersonate the man!"
"Do you know who the stranger is?"
"What is written on the deed is Hu Laoliu of Yaxing."
"Then I can ask Hu Laoliu to verify it!"
"Inspection, Hu Laoliu is in the same group with him, and he has been bribed by him a long time ago!"
"Auntie, who are you going to sue? In just a short while, you have sued all three of the Yamen's clerks in charge of Wenqi, Hu Laoliu of Yaxing, and Zhou Leizi!"
"Here, patrol inspection, you can make the decision for me. There are seven or eight people in my family, all counting on that one..."
Cries replaced the responses and resounded throughout the hall again.
"Hehehe..." The roar of laughter also sounded at the entrance of the lobby again. Except for Hou Zhang's neighbors in the village, other onlookers could no longer feel any sympathy for her in their hearts.
"Don't be too busy crying, let me help you sort it out!" Han Qing sighed and tapped the table with a ruler.
"Quiet -" The village heroes, impatient with the crying, dragged their voices and beat the ground with sticks.
Hou Zhang's cries were suppressed, and she squatted softly on the ground, tears pouring down her face.
"You sued Zhou Lezi for stealing your scalpers." Han Qing sighed, looked at Hou Zhang with sympathy, and concluded in a low voice, "But you can't produce any evidence. Even the hot stamps on the scalpers are not what you said.
However, the defendant was able to produce documents from the government and an intermediary from the dental shop. How can you ask this inspector to make the decision for you?"
"It's fake, the Wenqi is fake. Master Zhou was deceived by him. Hu Laoliu and he are in the same group!" Hou Zhang knew that it was impossible to win the lawsuit, but continued to grit his teeth and hold on. His voice was sad and harsh.
And desperate.
"The duty of this inspection is to arrest bandits and maintain public order. If you insist that the deed is forged, Hu Laoliu from the dental shop in the county colluded with Zhou Leizi. This is not a theft case, but a forged deed case.
It was a case of property fraud with others. The location was beyond the jurisdiction of this inspection, and it involved colleagues of this inspection." Han Qing carefully felt the reaction of his heart and said slowly.
The heart was very stuffy, but the beating was normal. Obviously, even if there was a ghost living in the heart, it would have no shame to interfere with how he judged the case.
Smiling, he continued to add:
"In this case, you need to go to the county government office to file a complaint with the county magistrate. This inspection has no right to summon the county clerk. It has no control over the county dental shop."
"But you have to think clearly!" Before Hou Zhang could cry, Han Qing quickly added, "The county magistrate may not be as easy to talk to as this inspection officer. But stealing cattle..."
After a moment's hesitation, he pulled out a passage of law from the memory of the previous owner of the body, and read it to everyone, word for word.
"If you steal an ox, you will be yokeed for half a month, exiled thousands of miles away, or imprisoned for four years. If you accuse someone falsely, you will be imprisoned!"
