Chapter 2940 Jia Wu
Of course Jia Wu denied it. He didn't admit any of the crimes.
But he cannot just deny this sin.
"Corrupting customs lies in beating one's wife without kindness and raising a son without educating him," Bai Shan said with a sullen face, slamming the gavel and saying, "Do you know about Jia Dalang's murder of Zhao Shan?"
"I don't know, sir. I've never had a good relationship with this rebellious son. I know nothing about him robbing Xiaoliu Village. The other families in the village know more than I do..."
Bai Shan slammed the gavel, interrupting Jia Wu and saying, "I was asking about Zhaoshan, not Xiaoliu Village!"
Jia Wu, who had been thinking of an excuse all the way, was stunned when Bai Shan asked him what he wanted to say. The name "Zhao Shan" suddenly popped into his mind, and he couldn't help but turn pale.
Seeing that he finally remembered, Bai Shan squinted his eyes and asked, "How did Zhao Shan die?"
Zhao Shan's family, who had been called in advance, became agitated and wanted to rush over, but were stopped by the yamen runners holding boards. They glared at them and dared not move.
Jia Wu trembled his lips and turned to look at Jia Dalang. He saw Jia Dalang was stunned for a moment and then grinned at him. Perhaps the more he thought about it, the happier he became. He laughed slowly and finally burst into laughter. He looked up and said to Bai Shan, "Sir, I know. He killed Zhao Shan."
"You're lying!" Jia Wu couldn't help but yell, "Yes, it was you. It was clearly you who killed him!"
Bai Shan slammed the gavel and asked him expressionlessly, "Be quiet, Jia Wu. Just answer what I ask you. Don't shout."
Could Bai Shan not know that Zhao Shan was killed by Jia Dalang?
The first time they talked in court, Jia Dalang confessed.
Zhao Shan is Jia Wu's good friend, or so to speak, a good friend for now. Like him, he has done many things, such as bullying his family and running rampant in the village.
But he disappeared ten years ago and never returned.
The Zhao family lived in another village and was not very wealthy. When Zhao Shan disappeared, they never looked for him or reported the case to the police. They just lived their lives as if this person did not exist.
If Bai Shan had not asked the bailiff to bring the man to the county government office, they would probably have been confused for the rest of their lives and would never have remembered this man until they died.
So bad people...are especially likely to be forgotten by their families.
The reason why Bai Shan arrested Jia Wu was, first, to find the body and thoroughly investigate the case; second, to severely punish Jia Wu and rectify the atmosphere.
Although Jia Dalang is evil, the reasons why he is evil cannot be ignored.
When managing a local area, especially when encountering this type of criminal case, prevention and education should be the main focus to guard against the recurrence of such evil deeds and such evil people.
Therefore, Jia Dalang must be severely punished, and the root of his evil deeds cannot be let off.
Bai Shan stared at Jia Wu unkindly and asked, "You said Jia Dalang killed the man. Did you see it with your own eyes?"
Jia Wu was afraid that Bai Shan would believe Jia Dalang's words, so he nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, I saw it with my own eyes."
Bai Shan then asked, "Where was the murder?"
"Yes, at my home." Jia Wu was still frightened when he recalled what happened ten years ago. From that day on, he was completely suppressed and beaten by Jia Dalang, and there was always a fear of being killed in his heart.
Zhao Shan and Jia Wu were bad friends. They both angered each other's parents to death, and they drank, gambled, and stole things together.
Of course, beating your wife and children is also included.
When Jia Dalang was fourteen, he couldn't help but fight back when he was beaten by Jia Wu again...
So Jia Wu became angry and cruel, and beat him even harder.
Jia Dalang had a miserable life during those two years. Sometimes he could hit Jia Wu and fight back with his fists, but most of the time, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy was not as strong as Jia Wu, who was in his prime.
But as he grew up, when he was sixteen, whenever the father and son fought, Jia Wu lost more than he won.
So he called his good friend Zhao Shan.
Zhao Shan had long disliked Jia Dalang. This kid actually dared to fight back and hit his father instead of just accepting the beating.
So he went to the Jia family for a drink as promised, and then he started to lecture Jia Dalang. The man who had angered his own parents to death told Jia Dalang that he should be filial to his father and not fight back or talk back when his father beat or scolded him...
Jia Dalang was already abnormal at that time, but he was also smart. When he saw Zhao Shan coming to his house as a guest with a sharpened sickle, he roughly guessed what they meant.
This is intended to take action if he doesn't listen to advice.
So he said nothing, went back to the kitchen to bring the prepared snacks into the house, and hid a knife in his pocket.
He has always been ruthless and decisive. Since he has made up his mind to fight back, he will fight back thoroughly. Zhao Shan was still nagging and preaching, and had no intention of taking action, but Jia Dalang took out a knife and took action.
He was very direct and attacked Zhao Shan with all his might. When he regained his senses, Zhao Shan had been hacked beyond recognition and was lying in a pool of blood.
Jia Wu, who was standing by, fell to the ground in fear, his whole body reeking of urine, and he was obviously frightened to death.
Jia Dalang was very happy and felt that killing people was really fun.
Jia Wu was terrified at the time. He was afraid of Jia Dalang and also afraid that Zhao Shan's death would be known to others.
He helped Jia Dalang dispose of the body in a daze. From then on, everything in the Jia family turned upside down. Jia Dalang was the head of the family and Jia Wu never dared to be cruel to Jia Dalang again.
Even though I couldn't help but fight with him sometimes, I didn't dare to use too much force, for fear that I would push him too hard and he would use a knife to attack me.
From that time on, the lives of Lady Jia and her children gradually improved.
Bai Shan looked grave and ordered someone to take Jia Wu to the woods near Dajing Village to dig up the remains, with the Zhao family following.
The Zhao family then burst into tears, and no one knew whether they were crying for real or fake, but their cries were deafening. They didn't dare to look for Jia Dalang, so they went to find Jia Wu to beat him, shouting for them to return their Zhao Shan.
County Magistrate Dong curled his lips and couldn't help but say, "If we really return Zhao Shan to them, I'm afraid they will cry even more miserably."
Bai Shan glanced at him, and County Lieutenant Dong immediately fell silent, leaning forward and smiling, "Sir, I was wrong. No one, whether good or evil, should be killed by one person. If there is any problem, you should come to our county government."
This was also the request that Bai Shan made to County Magistrate Dong and the yamen runners after the case was decided: they must promote this idea.
"What's wrong with a father beating his son or wife? This is against public order and good morals, and is also illegal. A father is unkind and a husband is disrespectful. Besides the family, the county government can handle it." For this reason, Bai Shan summoned the village heads and sternly asked them, "If the village and family cannot restrain good people, report them to the county government. The county government will eliminate the evil and correct the atmosphere."
"Don't think that a father beating his son or a husband beating his wife are just minor family matters. Just look at what happened to Jia Dalang. If a bad family atmosphere is bad, it will inevitably affect the entire family, and the family will affect the village, and then it will affect the surrounding area where people can hear and see it..."
Bai Shan said: "Counties are made up of villages, and villages are made up of families and households. Therefore, every household in them must not be neglected."
Under such circumstances, there are fewer people who dare to beat their wives and sons recently.
Of course, many families in Dajin still believe that filial sons are made under the stick, and Bai Shan did not strictly require that fathers should not beat their sons.
There is a "beat" before "beat". Bai Shan decided to explain the two words "degree" and "mutual respect" specifically when he returns to inspect the village.
