Wang Huizu broke the field production case

Wang Huizu of the Qing Dynasty handled a case while serving as an official in Daozhou, Hunan (present-day Lingling, Hunan).

There is a family surnamed Chen in Wai County, who has a son, who was adopted by a man named Kuang Cheng in Honshu and changed

His name is Kuang Xueyi. Later, Kuang Cheng himself raised a son, named Kuang Xueli, and gave Kuang Xueyi 8 acres of land

, let him return to the Chen clan. After a few years, Kuang Cheng died, and Kuang Xueli fell ill. On the occasion of his death, Kuang Xueli gave Xueyi 5 acres of land, and also entrusted him with the aftermath, hoping that he would take care of the orphans and widows' internal and external family affairs.

Kuang Xueli left behind 200 acres of land, and his wife Li and son Kuang Sheng were diligent and thrifty when they ran the family for 17 years.

Another 100 acres of land were purchased, and the annual income became increasingly abundant.

One day, a landlord ransomed the land back and forth, and just as the housekeeper Kuang Xueyi was out, Li Called his son Kuang Sheng

When looking for Tian Qi, he found that the above impressive record was that Li Shi and Kuang Xueyi bought it together, and other Tian Qi were also like this

Wrote, can't help but be shocked. When Kuang Xueyi returned, Li confronted him, insisting that Tian Sanyuan was a communist

The land rent is also shared with the purchase, and these are recorded in the rent book in detail.

Li Shi was shocked and angry, and complained to the county government, which was rejected by the county; the upper complaint was sent to Lingling County for trial.

It was also rejected because the deed and the lease book were clearly recorded. Li Shi was very sad and indignant, and complained to Daozhou,

Accepted by Wang Huizu.

Wang Huizu believes that Kuang Xueyi manages the household chores for the Li family, and the sale and purchase of field property is handled by him, the Li family

I didn't know the words when I took the deed, so the record of the deed is not enough. However, if you abandon the deed to adjudicate the case, you will not

It can convince Kuang Xueyi. What to do? Wang Huizu thought about it for a moment, then asked the parties to go to the public court to make a judgment: "Now the deeds of the land and the lease book are clearly remembered in black and white, and indeed they are jointly purchased." ”

Li Shi wept bitterly and asked for a judgment of truth and falsehood. Wang Huizu sternly waved her out, but greatly praised Kuang Xueyi for being good at business management. Kuang Xueyi was very happy, thinking that the case had been solved since then. Wang Huizu chatted cordially with him and asked, "How much family property do you have?" ”

Kuang Xueyi replied: "There are 13 acres of land, and 31 stones of rent are collected every year, and 16 stones of rice are net. ”

"How many people are in the family?"

"My wife and I and two men and three women."

"What's the family's income?"

"I want to manage her family's affairs on behalf of the Lee family, and only the eldest son can devote himself to field work."

Wang Huizu asked, "According to this point of view, it is difficult for your family to feed itself, so how can it be said that you are very much outside."

What about money? ”

Kuang Xueyi replied, "I am dumb and eat Huang Lian, and I can't say anything about it." ”

Wang Huizu immediately slapped Tang Mu and said angrily, "Then you and Li Clan will jointly purchase the field property."

The money must have been stolen and cheated! He then ordered the stolen reports of the previously unsolved cases to be turned around

tell. He said: "There is a theft case that has lost a lot of silver, and the criminal has not yet been caught, and it is also chen surname, is it you?"

Do you?! ”

Kuang Xueyi was shocked and ashamed, and immediately prostrated his head like pounding garlic, and confessed truthfully: "I am not a thief

The purchase of land is indeed unique to Lee's family. I wrote it as a buy, I really wanted to wait for Li Shi to die and be able to work with her son Kuang

When the victory was won, there was no deception and corruption of the land rent in the past years. ”

Wang Huizu immediately sent someone to recall Li Shi, comfort her, and write Kuang Xueyi's name on the deed

The traces were smeared, and the forged lease book was burned, confirming that the land property belonged to the Lee family.

Li Shi was overjoyed, and while grateful, he asked kuang xueyi to be strictly handled.

Wang Huizu said: "Kuang Xueyi's character is indeed hateful, but your husband is very knowledgeable. If

If you don't entrust him to be the housekeeper, your family's original land and property will be abandoned, so how can you continue to increase production? If he is year after year

If you embezzle some of the land rent, you will not be able to recover it today. It's just that he is too greedy to want to do a hand on the deed

The foot intends to divide up the land, so that the matter is exposed and nothing is gained. Heaven abhors greed and has punished him. ”

Therefore, Kuang Xueyi was forgiven and only ordered him to return to the Chen clan.
