Many years ago, in a small mountain village in the Qinba Mountains in northern Sichuan, there was a scholar nicknamed Bao Dawing. Because he was good at writing lawsuits for people, and he was very smart. After he wrote the case, he had never lost a lawsuit, and he would not be implicated in the lawsuit. Therefore, the local people gave him the nickname of "Bao Dawing". As for his real name, no one knows it for a long time, only some interesting legends of him have been passed on to the common people one by one.

The story takes place on a sweltering summer day. On this day, a father and son in the village had a conflict, and the father was beaten to death by his son. So the father sued the son to the county yamen for "beating his own father and being unfilial to his son." The son knew that his father had sued him, so he went to the bag to win the winner and asked Bao to win the idea. After Bao Dawin heard the whole story, he said, "You go back first, and I will write a reply to you immediately. Come and get it after a meal, and you will go to the county yamen to win the lawsuit."

The man went back according to the words. Here, Bao Zhanying hurriedly took out the four treasures of the study, sealed it after writing, and waited for the man to come and get it.

After a meal, the man came. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Bao Win wearing a cotton hat, topless, and cotton pants, and in front of him was a pot of red charcoal fire. Holding a fan in his hand, he was baking the fire and shaking the fan lightly. His every move made the young monk - not thinking. I don't know what Bao Win is doing, and he hurriedly asked, "Sir, have you written the reply? Give it to me!"

"It's written, but you have to listen to my orders, or you will not win the lawsuit!"

"Okay, I'll follow you!"

Bao won so, so, so, so, and ordered in that person's ear for a while. The man nodded, took it back and left.

The next day, the man was sent to the county yamen's office. No matter what the county magistrate asked or said, he always replied in his head without saying a word.

The county mayor asked three questions and two questions, but there was no reply, and his heart was angry, and he said angrily: "Daring to make trouble with the people, your father accused you of'beating your own father, disobeying and unfilial piety ', this official asked the case, and you dared to refuse to answer, clearly ignoring the county yamen's court, and despising the dignified county." Saying that, he ordered the yamen on both sides, "The staff..."

As soon as the county magistrate exited the word'punishment 'with a punishment staff, he found that the master who was copying it on the side winked at him. And he heard the master say, "Report to the grand master, the defendant's head is like a shape, and if he doesn't say a word, there may be something different inside. You might as well ask him to take a look and find out what's going on. It's not too late to decide!"

"What the Master said is very true," said the county princess, "book office, take off the thing on the defendant's head and present it!" The book office took it and presented it to the princess. The county princess opened it and looked back, and couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. But under the big word "injustice" in the document, there were two lines of slightly smaller writing that read:

The wife has the beauty of Diao Chan

Father has Dong Zhuo's intention.

After looking at it, the county princess thought to herself, "Who wrote this, it is clear that he is incompetent to bully this county, and he has overlooked this case. Hmph, this county wants to see who is sacred and dare to oppose this county. After thinking of this, the county princess ordered: "Take the plaintiff into custody for the time being."

After the yamen brought the plaintiff, the grand master said, "Defendant, if you ask this county, you have to recruit it from the truth to avoid the pain of flesh and blood, and you can also be exempted from the crime. If you don't recruit it from the truth, the crime will be increased by one class!"

When the defendant heard the exoneration, he hurriedly replied, "The villain is willing to confess, please forgive me." The grandpa said, "That's fine. Let me ask you, who wrote the document on your head?" The defendant said, "Grandpa, before the villain went to court, he promised not to say who wrote the document, and asked my lord to forgive me."

"Hmph! You dare to bully the people, you dare to bully this county and refuse to invite the truth. Come on, serve the big punishment!" The grandpa shouted angrily.

"I'll recruit, I'll recruit…I hope the lord will bypass the little one, and the villain will do it!" The defendant was afraid of being punished, so he had to tell the matter like this. Shortly after, the county mayor asked the yamen to pass Bao Zhanying to the county yamen, and asked in court, the grand lord said: "Bao Zhanying won, but you wrote the defendant's statement? Tell the truth."

Bao Dawin said, "The defendant's statement is not written by Xiaomin."

"Bold, the defendant said you wrote it, why didn't you tell the truth?"

If you don't believe that Xiaomin's words are the truth, can you ask the grand master to ask the defendant to tell me how he found Xiaomin to write the statement, and what Xiaomin was doing when he saw Xiaomin? "

"Okay! This county will do as you say. The defendant, what was he doing when he won you? Tell the truth."

"Report to the grand master, when the defendant saw him..." When the defendant told him what he had seen and heard one by one, it immediately made everyone in the hall burst into laughter. It made the county grand master cry, laugh, brain, and anger; the tiger skin burrs on the grand master's chair were like countless steel needles, making him uneasy to sit and stand, and the lion stood at the foot of the table - he would not fall down.

Seeing that the county magistrate was so embarrassed, Bao Zhan was secretly happy to win. But he had to rescue the county magistrate, so he said again, "My lord has clearly observed that what this person has said is pure nonsense. In such hot weather, he actually falsely accused Xiaomin of wearing a cotton hat, naked upper body, and cotton pants under it; he also made the small people roast on fire, holding a fan and fanning the cold; does this person's words also seem credible to my lord? According to Xiaomin's foolish opinion, this person must have been frightened by the power of the tiger of the lord, and he was so confused. I hope the Lord will be the master of Xiaomin and avenge the injustice and shame. Otherwise, let Xiaomin have no face to see the world. At this point, Bao Dawing changed the topic and said, "Xiaomin dares to ask the Lord, although the defendant's statement is not written by Xiaomin, can the Lord tell Xiaomin what words are written on it?"

It was not until this time that the county magistrate calmed down and said leisurely, "It doesn't matter if this county tells you, it is written on the form, 'The wife has the beauty of Diao Chan, and the father has the meaning of Dong Zhuo.'"

Bao Daying pretended to think for a moment and said, "So it seems that Xiaomin has a foolish opinion. I don't know if the Lord is willing to listen."

"What are you talking about, say it to this county, forgive you for your innocence."

"My lord, the father of the accused accused accused accused his father, and beat his father, for the crime of unfilial piety. The defendant should have been punished for his crime, but it was no accident that someone pleaded for his injustice. As the saying goes: There is no wall in the world that is impervious to the wind. Since it is a father does not obey, why should it be blamed for his son's unfilial piety? A father covets the appearance of his daughter-in-law, or plays with dirty words or filthy behavior, but he does not know. If a person wants to take away his love, how can he not fight for his life? In the foolish opinion of Xiaomin, this case should be based on reconciliation. I hope the master will pass on his father and son to court and persuade him to return home. Father and son, husband and wife, young and old, reunite, get along in harmony, and everyone is happy. Wouldn't Lord Yu be happy and beautiful if future generations passed on a beautiful saying of 'clean officials and clear decisions'? "

County Magistrate Zhan Yan smiled and said, "What Bao Yingxiong said is very suitable for me, so I will act according to your words!"
