One day, Bao Heizi was ascended to the lobby, and someone beat the drum to complain. Bao Heizi then ordered the person who called for the wronged came to the hall. The yamen runner led a man from outside and knelt in the lobby.

Bao Heizi looked at the man first, and saw that he was wearing a silk shirt with some blood sprinkled on it; his hair was scattered behind his head, and there were several places that were stuck together by blood; his left eye socket was blue-black, and it was obviously a punched person, which turned into a panda's eye. Two bright red liquid flowed out of his nostrils, which seemed to be a mixture of snot and blood, and there were still some blood around his mouth and chin.

After Bao Heizi saw it, he was already calculating. So he spoke, "Who is kneeling down? Why do you beat the drum?"

When the master asked a question, the man quickly replied with grievance: "Sir, the little man lives in Nancheng, named Cao Pi. Last evening, the little man returned home. He didn't expect a mute to be guarding my door and beat the little man up. Seeing that he was a mute, I didn't care about him. Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out this morning, he beat him again. Look, my nose was broken and my eyes were swollen, all thanks to him. The little man couldn't bear it anymore, so he came to complain and ask the lord to make the decision!"

After hearing this, Bao Heizi slapped the awkward in his hand: "This mute is really rude, so I will catch him quickly. I want to treat him heavily!"

After hearing this, Cao Pi hurriedly said, "Sir, that mute is very bold. He chased the villain and came to the outside of the county government gate. I don't know who he has to support him, but he is so bold and arrogant!"

The servants below were a little laughed: The one who supported this mute was the master sitting in front of you. Of course, he dared to chase you all the way to the yamen to beat you!

Seeing that everyone on the left and right looked different, Bao Heizi coughed and shouted loudly: "I didn't expect this guy to be so brave, so he brought him to the court quickly. I want to deal with him heavily!"

Two yamen runners received the order and came outside and brought the mute who was waiting there into the lobby. Bao Heizi glanced at the mute, and saw that his face was still full of anger, and his hands were still trembling. He thought that he had been bullied by Cao Pi, but he could avenge his shame today. When he saw Cao Pi, he immediately broke free from the yamen runner beside him and rushed to him. Then he bent down, waved his fist, smashed Cao Pi's face, and hit Cao Pi's originally intact eye socket again. It was probably that his eye socket would turn blue in a while and would be symmetrical to that one.

The officer saw him and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Cao Zhi. Bao Heizi looked at him and slapped the sucker: "You mute, so unreasonable. You beat the good people for no reason. Who was the instructed by him? Come quickly and take the real tricks to avoid suffering from the flesh!"

When the mute Cao Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but wonder: "Master. You asked me to see my brother once, and then hit him once. I was as you said, and I met him twice last night and this morning, and I hit him twice. By the way, I met for the third time just now, and I just punched him and was stopped."

Cao Pi, who was standing beside him, was also amused and laughed: "This adult is so confused! He knew that he was a mute, but he still asked him to call him? If a mute could speak, that would be a strange thing!"

Seeing that the mute was silent, Bao Heizi said to Gongsun Ce beside him: "Tell me, how should I be punished if I hurt someone for no reason!"

Gongsun Ce pretended to think about it. Then he said to Bao Heizi: "Sir, it depends on the relationship between the perpetrator and the beaten person. If he is an irrelevant person, he should be beaten to twenty according to the law and be responsible for treating the victim."

Bao Heizi heard this and said, "How can I get rid of the anger in my heart!" Cao Pi thought to himself, "This younger brother is fine, so he still whips himself. Isn't this whip twenty alike commonplace for him? And he is so poor that he makes a living by begging, how can he compensate me for my medical expenses?"

While thinking about it, he heard it and said to Gongsun Ce: "What else is there?"

Gongsun Ce said slowly: "The other is the struggle between relatives of the same clan. Most of them are for property, and there are also many people who seek money and kill. According to the law, they should be exiled and never return to their hometowns!"

After hearing this, Cao Pi actually believed it to be true, so he hurriedly said, "Sir, the villain forgot to tell him just now that this mute is the villain's younger brother!"

Bao Heizi heard this and his face darkened: "Although he is a mute and cannot speak, he can also testify against his neighbors in this matter. You must not recognize your relatives randomly and deceive your official position!"

After hearing this, Cao Pi kowtowed repeatedly and said, "Sir, he is indeed a little brother. His name is Cao Zhi, and he is the brother of his fellow-mistresses. He must have wanted to murder me and then occupy my property. His intentions are so vicious! Sir, you can call our neighbors and you will know it as soon as you ask!"

Bao Heizi was very angry when he heard this: "You ignore your brothers and sisters and abandon your disabled younger brother. How vicious your intention is! Let's settle the accounts together later." So he temporarily held back and told his left and right: "Go and send Cao Pi's neighbors quickly. If it is confirmed that this mute is indeed his younger brother, he will be severely punished!"

Cao Pi hurriedly said to Bao Heizi: "Sir, when the villain came, several neighbors came with him to watch the fun. Now they are outside the yamen. Can they be summoned in?"

Bao Heizi couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this: "This is the best and it will save you from running back and forth, so you can take these people to the lobby soon."

The yamen runners took the order and brought in a few people from the hall. Bao Heizi saw that the old man who came to plead for the mute yesterday was also included. It was obvious that he was afraid that Cao Zhi would suffer a loss, so he followed him regardless of his age.

Bao Heizi then asked, "Several fellow villagers, Cao Pi now says that this mute is his brother. If you want to testify, you must tell the truth."

The few people agreed and then recommended the old man together. The old man did not refuse and pointed his hand at Cao Pi and said, "Sir, the mute is not his brother!"

Bao Heizi was stunned when he heard this: "This is different from yesterday!" But the old man continued: "Although they were born to the same father and mother, how could he have a brother like him? He actually drove his disabled younger brother out of the house and begged to live along the street. Such a person, without thinking about brotherhood, is simply a beast that is worse than a pig or a dog. How can he be a mute brother!"

Bao Heizi heard it and kept shouting in his heart, "Happy!" The old man was so wise that he was so wise that he dared to speak out for justice and was indeed respectable. So he said with a kind look: "So, from the point of view of blood, the mute is indeed Cao Pi's younger brother?"

The old man salied at Cao Pi next to him, and nodded reluctantly. Bao Heizi turned to the other people and asked them again. The people also nodded.

Bao Heizi turned to Cao Pi and said, "In this way, this Cao Zhi is indeed your younger brother!"

Although Cao Pi was a little bad on his face, in order to completely relieve the mute's confidant, he nodded and said yes. Bao Heizi suddenly laughed loudly when he heard this, then slapped the gavel in his hand on the table, and shouted angrily: "Bold Cao Pi, since this mute is your brother, how can you drive him out of the house and embezzle his family property? Come! Drag this ruthless, unrighteous, filial, and shameless person down, a great fifty stick!"

The officers on both sides did not appreciate Cao Pi's shameless behavior, and their hands were itchy. Now that they heard the adults' words, they would not be polite. They immediately came up with five or six strong men with big arms and round waists, dragged Cao Pi out, and then the two pressed their heads and upper limbs, and they held their thighs. One of them swung the water and fire sticks, and the remaining one was counting around and they started fighting in all kinds of ways.

Because the servants worked extra hard, Cao Pi called him very hard. He felt that the big stick that was heavier than a thousand pounds was intimately touching his butt and thighs one after another, and a mountain sounded. At first, he felt a heart-wrenching pain, but later he fainted in pain and lost consciousness.

When the executioner saw this, he immediately called someone to get cold water and poured it on Cao Pi's head. Soon Cao Pi woke up again, and he really couldn't survive or die.

And that over-counting officer inevitably lied about military affairs from time to time in order to vent his anger, and added dozens of extra charges to Cao Pi. Anyway, this guy was just yelling, so he would not look at the count at once!

Fifty boards--of course, it may be seventy or eighty boards. After finishing the board, Cao Pi was dragged back to the lobby. This guy is now full of skin, with blood and flesh between his butt and thighs, and he doesn't even have the strength to speak, but just lying on the ground like a pile of mud.

Bao Heizi couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this: I didn't expect that the board of the county government will be so powerful today! However, it should be true to deal with such evil people!

So he said to Cao Pi on the ground: "Today, these fifty sticks are considered cheaper. Please note the rest. If you find that you dare to abuse your younger brother in the future, you will make up for it! After you go back, you will summon the elders of the clan and the people present to divide the property into two and share it equally with your younger brother Cao Zhi. Are you willing?"

Then Cao Pi dared not say a word, but he just nodded. Bao Heizi then said to Cao Zhi again: "You go back too, and you can live a good life in the future."

Cao Zhi thumped, knelt on the ground, kowtowed Bao Heizi a few times, then climbed to Cao Pi, carried him carefully on his body, and walked out of the lobby.

Bao Heizi looked at it and couldn't help but nodded repeatedly: "This mute is not bad-hearted and can actually repay grudges with kindness, which is also respectable!" So he called the old man again and said, "Brother-in-law, if they are fair and reasonable when they are separated, it would be fine. If they are unfair to the mute, you ask him to come to me again. I see that Cao Pi looked resentful, and I'm afraid he won't change it."

The old man nodded and agreed, and then said to Bao Heizi: "It is really admirable that adults can enforce the law impartially and act without reason." After that, he led his neighbors to leave the lobby and chase the mute.
