In ancient times, when an old man asked for an account to come back that night, he lost his breath, and his wife was almost ruined. The county order took the complaint and did not investigate the human life case, but went to interrogate a stone. The people thought that the county order was crazy, and they rushed to see the liveliness, and who expected that the stone actually identified the murderer of the old man on the spot.
There is an old man in Hangzhou named Zhuang who makes a living by baking flatbread. That night, when he came home from his accounting, he was happy, so he drank a few more glasses of wine, and when he was finished, he lay down and fell asleep.
Late at night, a man broke into the house and took the life of the old man, and the family's money was robbed.
Old Man Zhuang's wife, Wang Shi, was woken up, and the murderer turned and pounced, and the two entangled together, fortunately, Wang's voice was loud and woke up the next-door neighbor. The neighbor heard the shouting and came to knock on the door, and the murderer fled in a hurry.
Wang Shi went to the county to file a complaint, the county order sent someone to investigate the scene, did not find any clues, the county order let Wang shi go back first and wait for the news.
Five days later, Ya Gong posted a notice at the gate of the county court, which read: "A few days ago, a stone sheep in the backyard of the county ya came out in the middle of the night to ruin the Zhuang family, and was denounced by the bitter lord. ”
Seeing the lively people talking about it, they expressed their dissatisfaction: "Regardless of the case of Old Man Zhuang's murder, it is really absurd that the county grandmaster wants to judge a stone!" ”
The next day, a group of people went to the county court to see how the county order went crazy. Only to see that there was a stone sheep under the hall, and the county order walked to the stone sheep. He scolded, "You beast, why did you waste other people's bookmakers in the middle of the night?" You say it again, I didn't hear it clearly! ”
Suddenly, the stone made a human sound, which was very small and thin. Xian Ling approached Shi Yang's mouth and asked again, "Are you right?" If you don't admit your mistake, this officer will be executed. ”
Shi Yang spoke again, but the voice was too small, and the people watching the liveliness outside could not hear clearly, but everyone could clearly hear the county order, and everyone held their breath.
"You say you went to the crops to be a murderer who was seeking money and killing people?" After repeating Shi Yang's words, the county commander stood up straight and said to the crowd, "Shi Yang said that he saw the murderer of Old Man Zhuang, and this murderer is among you." ”
After hearing this, the crowd immediately exploded the pot and began to talk loudly: "Does the stone sheep know the murderer?" Really fake? Interesting, interesting. ”
The county order added: "Shi Yang told me that there was blood on the murderer's body. ”
The crowd listened to the music, Old Man Zhuang has been killed for so many days, and the blood on his body has long been washed clean, which is really funny.
The county order approached the stone sheep again and muttered quietly. After a while, he said: "Shi Yang said that the blood on the murderer's arm, no matter how it is washed, it can be seen, you roll up your sleeves, and Shi Yang will examine them one by one." ”
The bottom became silent, and everyone rolled up their sleeves as if in disbelief, to see what the county order would do next. The county order asked the masses to show the stones one by one.
At this time, standing in front of the stone sheep was the sun butcher who sold meat, and he was about to put down his sleeve and walk away, when the county commander suddenly shouted: "Stop! ”
Ya Gong stepped forward and pressed Sun Butcher, who was horrified and struggled.
It turned out that the county order had been trying to investigate the case for several days, and he learned from wang's mouth that when Wang was fighting with the murderer, she felt a bean-sized pimple on the murderer's right arm.
It's winter, everyone can wear three layers inside and three layers outside, where to find people with bumps on their arms? The county commander thought about it for three days before he thought of the trick of letting Shi Yang identify the murderer. The murderer commits a crime and will send it to the door by himself according to his curiosity.
After listening to the analysis of the county order, Sun Butcher's face turned miserable, and he immediately panicked, and he cried bitterly and said the original commission.
That night, old man Zhuang asked for the money from the tailor shop next door, took the silver, and came to him to buy meat. Old Man Zhuang bragged vigorously about how rich he was. He was worried about how to pay off the gambling debt, so he became evil, and he followed him to the old man's house and killed him after the old man slept.
The crowd asked curiously, why does the stone sheep talk?
Xian Ling smiled and said, "I am good at ventriloquism and can imitate the sounds of animals and people." The masses praised the county order for being discerning and resourceful.

It's about to be the New Year, so you should keep your money on your way home and don't show your wealth in front of strangers. In life, don't show off your wealth at will, Old Man Zhuang is just too proud and forgetful, only to be remembered by gangsters and lose his life.
