The Body-Stealing Rai Murder Case

neighbor Zhou Cai and others just walked to the door of the Pan family, to see Haizum is going out, though the two have ceased to quarrel, so also did not enter the courtyard, and this turned to go home.

On the same day, Pan Cunzheng's brother Pan Cunzhong came to his brother's house but found that he had been dead for a long time, and there were still wounds on his body, so he immediately asked the neighbors Zhoucai and others to inquire, and learned that Cunzheng had had a quarrel with the monk Haidan of Zifu Temple, so it was assumed that Haidan had beaten and killed Cunzheng. After he buried Cunzheng outside the temple, Cunzheng immediately filed a complaint against Haidan for killing his brother.

After returning to the temple, Haidan became more and more afraid. Although no one was there to witness the killing of Pan Cunzheng, Zhou Cai and others saw themselves walking out of Pan's house and knew that they and Pan Cunzheng had quarreled first, so Pan's family would not let themselves off easily. If this lawsuit is filed, I will definitely not be able to afford it. Instead of waiting for death, I would rather take the first step and sue Pan Cunzheng for reneging on the rent, so I argued with him. The reason for this is that he died of a sudden illness and had nothing to do with himself. The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers. But suddenly thought, no, if the magistrate opens the coffin to examine the body, Pan Cunzheng wounded, is it not a clear picture? Yes, I might as well open the coffin and steal the body, and then go to the magistrate to sue, so that even if the magistrate wants to examine the corpse, there is no corpse to examine. No corpse can be examined, and how can I be convicted of murder? The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea. The idea is decided, and Haidan can not help but be pleased a lot. That night, he took a shovel and sneaked out of the temple to the cemetery, stole the body of Pan Cunzheng, and moved it to the forest to bury it.The next day, the Daimyo Prefecture Criminal Court was instructed by the governor to accept the case of Pan Cunzhong suing the monk Haidan for killing Pan Cunzheng, and sent someone to Zifu Temple to arrest Haidan. Hai Duan had already prepared for the case, so he brought the papers and followed the officer to the government office.

When Haidan entered the hall, he saw Pan Cunzhong and other Pan family members standing on one side, staring at him angrily. The official of the Daimyo Prefecture, Lord Shu Run, was sitting in front of the hall with a plaque hanging above him, with the words "The mirror is hanging high". The police officers holding the instruments of torture, on both sides of the lobby, look majestic. The first time Haidan saw such a situation, his heart some timid. But he was confident that he had done the job seamlessly, and as long as he refused to admit it, he thought he could escape unscathed, so he was brave enough to walk to the front of the hall. At this time, Shu Run asked, "Monk Haidan, the villager Pan Cunzhong of Dingfu Zhuang accused you of killing his brother Pan Cunzheng, a tenant of the same Zhuang, and there are neighbors such as Zhou Cai testifying, do you plead guilty or not?" Hai Tan pretended to be astonished after hearing this, he took out the paper from his bosom and handed it over: "The poor monk was about to sue Pan Cunzheng for not paying the rent, how did he become the defendant? That day, the poor monk argued with him about the rent, which is the fact. But he insisted on not paying, so the poor monk had no choice but to leave Pan's house and met Zhou Cai and others outside the door. How can we conclude that the poor monk is the murderer? Pan Cunzheng had been weak and sickly, which is well known to everyone. His death must be caused by serious illness, but Pan's family took the opportunity to frame him, saying that he was killed by the poor monk, which is wrong. Your Excellency, I hope that you will judge the poor monk."
