According to legend, the imperial clan of Guilin in Ming Dynasty has always been arrogant, constantly fighting dogs for court gambling and entertainment. Domestic slaves are also arrogant by virtue of their status as royal slaves, not only bullying the people, but even ignoring the government.
In the second year of the Apocalypse (1622), Cao Xuequan, the leader of "Ten Talents in Middle Fujian", was appointed as the right senator of Guangxi. He is upright and upright.
One day, the minions of the royal family got bored, so they let out fighting dogs and bit passers-by at will. A scholar can't run fast, throw himself on the ground, and the scholar will die. Just then, a pig killer rushed out of the roadside, cut off the dog's head and saved the scholar.
The minions of the royal family saw at a glance that the untouchables actually killed their master's beloved fighting dog, which was amazing! They tied up the pig killer and sent him to the government with the dead dog, demanding that the government sentence him to death and compensate the dog's life.
Cao Xuequan happened to hear about the case. He read the complaint in detail, not afraid of the imperial clan, acquitted the butcher, and even awarded the royal family compensation for the medical expenses of the scholar. When the royal family saw it, they decided that their faces were in danger, but they couldn't beat Cao Xuequan in composition. They had long planned to ask for a retrial and secretly bribed the scholar to change his confession.
Cao Xuequan flew into a rage after hearing the confession of the scholar. He was angry and scolded, "All the witnesses and physical evidence are here. Besides, the butcher saved your life, but you didn't expect to give it back to him. Instead, you wanted to kill him and befriend the dog. This is unnatural! God forbid, I won't let you go! "
After that, I will beat the scholar with the official staff, and the scholar can't stand it. Finally, he confessed how the royal family threatened him to make a false statement with heavy money. The truth of this case came to light.
Cao Xuequan heavy sentence:
The butcher is innocent; Scholar, be friends with dogs, recognize dogs as friends, bite back, get rid of fame, and be a dog for royalty!
And angrily wrote on the case file: "Every time you kill a dog, you are a scholar."
