Examples of stories about eliminating evil with wisdom

Once upon a time, there was a poor Mrs. Liu in Liujiatun on the bank of Huaihe River. The husband died young and lived alone with his daughter. The daughter grew up to eighteen and looked like a fairy. The matchmaker stepped on the threshold. Finally, my daughter married a wealthy family in Li Jiazhuang. The water poured out by the married daughter, after the daughter got married, because the in-laws looked down on the poverty of the Liu family, prevented the daughter-in-law from returning to her family. Mrs. Liu is old and weak, and there is no one to rely on except her daughter. My daughter loves her old mother dearly and often secretly helps.

This year, the Dragon Boat Festival is coming. When Mrs Liu saw that there was no glutinous rice for jiaozi at home, she went to Li Jiazhuang to ask her daughter for some. The daughter gave her half a bag of glutinous rice under the nose of her in-laws. When handing the bag to Mrs. Liu, the daughter said meaningfully, "Mom should carry the bag well." Say that finish blinked. Mrs. Liu knew that her daughter had something to say, nodded, did not dare to stay long, and hurriedly said goodbye to her in-laws.

Out of Li Jiazhuang, the old lady saw no one around, so she opened the rice bag, reached into it, took out a string of copper coins and counted 800 articles. She knew that this was her daughter's daily savings, and she was very happy to see her daughter being so filial. She drove several miles in one breath.

After all, Mrs. Liu is old. After a few miles, she felt exhausted and sat on the side of the road to rest. After a rest, a woman riding a donkey passed by. This woman is Yang Er's sister-in-law. She lives in the same village as Mrs. Liu. Today, she went out to visit relatives. Sister-in-law Yang Er asked the old lady to put the rice bag on the donkey's back. Mrs Liu immediately thanked her, gave the rice bag to Yang Er who was riding on the donkey's back, and walked behind the donkey.

Sister-in-law Yang Er discussed with Mrs. Liu and wanted to take a shortcut back to the village. Mrs. Liu agreed. Cut across a small river. Although it is not deep, the river is wide. Mrs. Yang Er crossed the river easily on a donkey, while Mrs. Liu slowly took off her shoes, rolled up her trouser legs and crossed the river carefully. Mrs. Liu's feet are very small, and the pebbles at the bottom of the river are slippery. When the old lady finally reached the other side, Mrs Yang Er had left her far away. Thinking about the money in the rice bag, Mrs. Liu quickly put on her shoes and took a few steps to catch up.

Finally caught up with Yang Er's sister-in-law, and saw that the rice bag was still intact on the donkey's back. Mrs. Liu is relieved. But she was still worried and told Yang Er to stop. Mrs. Yang Er drank the donkey, and Mrs. Liu quickly put her hand into the rice bag and touched it, but she couldn't touch the copper coin! Mrs. Liu couldn't help but change her face and immediately quarreled with Yang Er's sister-in-law.

Mrs. Liu thinks that Mrs. Yang Er stole her money, but Mrs. Yang Er refuses to admit it. Two people quarreled all the way. They came to the door of a small hotel, where many people were watching. Mrs. Liu thinks that in front of so many people, it is impossible for her wife to acquiesce. The owner of this small shop, surnamed Du, is a simple and honest man. After listening to the quarrel between Mrs. Liu and her wife's sister-in-law, he saw that the two had their own words, so he proposed to ask the county magistrate Han's adult to help solve the matter. This Han adult is fair and upright, and he is an honest official.

Just then, a carriage came running, and when it approached, it stopped. People looked up and saw that it was Han's adult who got off the carriage.

In this case, they asked Han's adult to judge the matter

After Han county magistrate asked about the situation, he entered the store and sat down, temporarily holding the court in the store. Mrs Liu is crying, and Yang Er's sister-in-law looks aggrieved. Du shopkeeper would like to see how this county magistrate, known as Gong, tried the case without witness and material evidence. Du shopkeeper put the tea in front of Han county magistrate and looked at his face, but Han county magistrate was expressionless and said nothing. More and more people gathered in front of the store to watch the excitement. Han county magistrate asked Mrs. Liu, "You said that Mrs. Liu stole the money from your bag, but you went to your daughter's house to beg for rice. How could there be money in the rice bag?"

"I ... I gave the money to my daughter, but she didn't want it back, so I put it in a rice bag ..." Mrs. Liu was afraid of living, and her in-laws blamed her daughter for subsidizing her family, so she had to tell a lie falteringly. "Nonsense, you are too poor to give your daughter money!" Sister-in-law Yang Er said, "There is no money in the bag. You wronged me! " At this time, an official suggested: "Sir, I think you can directly search Yang Er's sister-in-law!" Hearing this, Yang Er's sister-in-law blushed and trembled. At this time, Han county magistrate threw the tea bowl on the table and reprimanded the officer: "I am innocent, why should I search?"

Hearing this, the village chief quickly hid to one side and dared not speak any more.

After a pause, the magistrate whispered, "I'm afraid this case will be chaotic for a while." Why don't you have a glass of wine first? " After that, he took out some copper coins from his pocket and said to the clerk, "Bring two Jin of wine, and wait until the county has finished drinking the wine before hearing the case."

The bartender took the money and soon put a pot of wine in front of Han county magistrate. Han's adult didn't drink immediately, but asked Du if there was a scale in the shopkeeper's shop. Du shopkeeper quickly brought it to the scale, and Han magistrate put the wine on the scale and said, "Why is this wine missing a dollar?" Du shopkeeper explained: "It is not surprising that two Jin of wine is less than one yuan."

County magistrate Han asked again, "How many years have you been opening a shop?"

"Two years and three months."

"How much wine do you sell every day?"

"About twenty pounds."

After hearing this, Han County magistrate raised his finger and calculated: "Two Jin of wine is one yuan less, and twenty Jin is one or two yuan less. One or two drinks cost a penny, and in two years and three months, he earned more than 800 yuan, right? " Du shopkeeper a listen to blindsided, speechless. Han county magistrate reprimanded: "Boss Du, you are an honest man, but you did such a thing. The county doesn't want to embarrass you today, so let you take out the overcharged money and donate it to Mrs. Liu. What do you think? "

Du shopkeeper was helpless, took out 800 pence and muttered in a low voice: "Zhang San is drunk and Li Si, how can he meet such a confused official ..."

I didn't expect his words to be heard by the county magistrate. The magistrate's face sank and said, "Bold! Dare to speak ill of the county and punish you for shoveling weeds on the roadside within one hour! " Say that finish, angrily sat on the carriage, and sent a message to the shopkeeper du, asking him to hoe the carriage to stop.

The shopkeeper Du Baibai was fined a sum of money and ordered to mow the grass. He was very angry. While mowing the grass, he cursed: "stupid official, confused official!" " "In this way, the shopkeeper Du was busy for more than an hour waving a hoe, and was about to hoe to the position where the carriage had just stopped. Suddenly, he heard the hoe ring, looked down and found a string of copper coins in the grass, which counted just 800 words and contained rice grains. Du shopkeeper looked up and saw Han county magistrate lifted the curtain in the carriage and looked at him laughing.

It turned out that Han county magistrate had already concluded in his heart that yes, my sister-in-law found something strange in the rice bag after crossing the river, and at that time she became greedy and stole money. Unexpectedly, the magistrate of Han county passed by in a carriage and heard the case publicly in a pub.

Hearing the village chief say that she would be searched, Yang Er's sister-in-law was frightened and threw the money into the grass when people were not looking.

"Why don't you expose Yang Er's sister-in-law to her face?" The leader asked incredulously. "Just because I observed Mrs. Liu's speech, I guessed that this money was her daughter's private money and I didn't want to be known. If you don't expose Yang Er's sister-in-law, first of all, you won't be exposed, and second, Yang Er's sister-in-law has fallen under the thief's name. How will she behave in the future? "

Du shopkeeper suddenly understood the good intentions of Han county magistrate and admired him deeply. Han county magistrate added, "This official deliberately found fault with you and wronged you. You can keep this 800 yuan. "

Afterwards, county magistrate Han sent a message to his sister-in-law, asking her to quit corruption in the future. Yang Er's sister-in-law was full of gratitude and sighed: "County magistrate Han took care of the faces of the people and women, and the people and women must be good people in the future."
