He said, "My Lord, the copper coins I sold have been stolen."
After hearing this, Bao Gong hesitated for a while and suddenly had an idea. He asked the dynasty and Mahan to carry the stone to an ancestral temple and said that they would check it. At the moment, the news of Bao Zheng's trial of the stone spread with great fanfare, and everyone knew about it. The next day, everyone rushed into the ancestral temple in a hurry, wanting to see the mystery of Bao Shenshi with their own eyes. He sat majestically in the temporary court, patting the gavel and shouting, "You stone,
Sitting on you for a nap, he lost all the money to sell the bus. You must have stolen it. Tell the truth quickly and avoid punishment. "Bao asked three times in a row, but the stone was silent. When Bao Gong saw that the stone was silent, he immediately glared at it and shouted, "This stubborn stone doesn't open its mouth, so it has to be beaten thirty times. "After the stone was hit, I kept silent. Bao Gong shouted again, "Hit 30 more boards and it won't move." At this time, onlookers crowded the ancestral temple. Bao Gong smiled and said, "Fellow villagers, this stubborn stone stole money and refused to admit it. I think this
Poor thing. Let's extend a friendly hand and give him a dollar each, shall we? "Everyone said with one voice," Good! What we listen to. "Bao Gong told me to keep the small doors on the left and right sides of the ancestral temple and forbid anyone to go out. There is a wooden bucket full of water at the door. Bao Gong walked to the front of the barrel, took the lead in throwing down a copper coin, then sat in a chair, staring at everyone, and threw a money into the barrel when everyone came out. One person, two people and three people. When a man threw a copper coin into the water, Bao Gong found an oil film on the water.
Bao Gong "arrested the thief who stole money and sent him to court!" This big mouth made everyone puzzled and talked about it. Everyone thought, "What makes Mr. Bao say that this man is stealing money?" Bao Gong returned to the hall and asked the man, "What's your name and where do you live?" "My name is Wang and I live in." "How did you steal Zhang Xiaoyou's money? Tell the truth. " "'m, little people didn't steal his money, it's really wrong! I still hope that adults can learn from it. ""The evidence is here, and you still want to deny it. So, Bao Gong picked up the copper coin floating with oil and said loudly, "Dear villagers, Zhang Xiaoyou is for sale." Copper coins thrown into the basket are inevitably stained with oil stains. Once the money is thrown into the water, the oil slick will surface. I think everyone goes out with money. If they find oil stains on the money, the metropolis will clean it to avoid soiling the clothes. So, I made a plan to lure the elders and passers-by in the countryside to see the strange case of "judging stones", and thieves who steal money are likely to sneak in to see the wonders. If so, that's exactly what I want! Dear folks, thanks to your support and cooperation, you can solve the case today. Thank you! Hearing this, the king turned pale with fear, and hurried to climb on the ground, kowtowing like garlic, admitting the stolen money, taking it out respectfully and accepting the punishment.
When people saw Bao Gong solve the case so quickly, they all said happily, "We have a good official in Duanzhou." An old man said in a jingle: "Mr. Bao came from Duanzhou, and the people will see the light of day from now on;" Men plow and women weave, and the harvest valley is Man Cang. "
