Detectives have existed since ancient times

In 1493, Chengdu Taishou Lu Yongqing received a tricky case: the man said that he was in love with the woman, but the woman said that he was forced. Therefore, Lu Yongqing patted the shocked wood: the woman's clothes were removed, and when the last belly pocket was left, the case was settled.

When things fall into "Rashomon", it is often necessary to have extraordinary means to find out the truth, and in this strange case in the "Complete Works of Think Tanks", Luo Yongqing's approach is amazing.

Lu Yongqing is a man of integrity, is a rare clean official, known as Lu Gong, he has his own set of theories in judging cases, when handling various cases, he is good at grasping detailed evidence, compared to the iron-faced selfless Bao Gong.

Lu Yongqing not only has a method to handle cases, but also has a particularly fast speed. In order to save the people from running back and forth, he built a few houses in the open space outside the gate so that they could live in peace and wait for the result. But the people who come to him for appeal often have not packed their bags and the case is over.

Therefore, there is a saying among the common people: "There is no second degree of cooking, and there is no need to lift the burden." "It is said that as long as Lu Yongqing handles the case, the meal will be less than two meals, the case can be solved, and people can go home."

But Lu Yongqing also encountered a tricky case, because the two sides in the complaint had their own opinions: the woman said that the man saw that she was beautiful like a flower, had evil thoughts, and did harm to her; while the man said that the woman hooked up with her first, and the two had intimate behavior under the condition that you loved me.

As for the difficulty of this case, it was in that era that what a man forcibly did against the woman's wishes was sentenced to death, even if he did not succeed, he had to be punished with a hundred rods and then exiled. However, if it is a situation where two people are willing to do so, the punishment will be lighter. It is only eighty rods of both men and women.

However, there was no evidence in the case, so Lu Yongqing was specially invited to try the case. But in the face of such a case, how did Lu Yongqing solve it?

The Complete Collection of Wise Men records that the public orders the powerful to go to the women's clothes, and all the clothes go, and the solitary women hold on to their own death. The public said: "Confession and adultery, cover the woman to keep her virginity, and the clothes cannot go, but can commit evil deeds?" ”

After Lu Yongqing understood the situation, he pondered for a while, then ordered the two jailers to come over, whispered a few words to them, and then let the two go out.

Just when everyone was puzzled, they saw two jailers leading the two women in, and Lu Yongqing ordered: "Since the two men have their own opinions, the two women standing next to them will take off the women's clothes on the spot."

Hearing his order, the people below looked at each other and felt that Lu Yongqing's decision was not feasible, the woman's reputation was so important, if the woman was the victim, then Lord Lu's name would be destroyed.

At this time, a master next to Lu Yongqing whispered, "Lord Lu, please think twice, don't be careless, ruin the name of the emperor!" ”

Lu Yongqing smiled and said, "Master rest assured, please rest assured, if there is anything I take on, you just have to take care of it." ”

Seeing the two women coming, the women retreated one after another, and ran to the front, and the fast-eyed jailer grabbed her and allowed the two women to take off her clothes, and when only the last intimate clothes were left, the woman sat down on the ground in a decadent manner.

At this moment, Lu Yongqing laughed loudly and loudly declared: "This case has come to light, the woman lied, and the man was wronged." ”

After the woman listened, the flower faded, and she shouted that she had been wronged. The crowd was also confused, thinking that Lord Lu was not a little arbitrary and impulsive.

Lu Yongqing saw the unknown people and calmly said to the woman: "If you don't know, if he touches you, you will inevitably fight to the death, and your clothes will definitely be damaged." And the two women just now can't control you, and they need the help of two jailers, which shows that your strength is very large. But when you see that your underwear is intact, it means that you and he have known each other for a long time, and you are willing to be with him. ”

Hearing Lu Yongqing's explanation, everyone understood that the woman was speechless and had to confess her guilt. In fact, Lu Yongqing had already found a clue the moment he entered the gate: if the woman was hurt, for example, the whole person was very haggard, and the clothes would be wrinkled, and the woman was plump, and there was not even a little frightened performance. That's why he thinks the woman is lying, so he uses this method.
