Gao (gao) Tao is the originator of Chinese law and a figure from ancient times. He is known as the "Four Ancient Saints" together with Yao, Shun and Dayu!

Legend has it that Gao Yao formulated the first ancient criminal law, "Five Punishments", to help the kings at that time govern the world. He strongly advocated that people should be upright and fair in trials, so that the Xia Dynasty at that time was harmonious.

Gao Yao himself died after living at the age of 106 and was buried in his fief Gaocheng, which is today Lu'an, Anhui.

The reason why I judged it was him was through two things.

The first is that the Yin Ling who just appeared called himself "I King" because he was the heir personally selected by Dayu back then.

The second was the horn. He stabbed me with the horn and said I was innocent. Legend has it that Gao Yao raised a very magical unicorn called Xie Zhi to help him with the case. As long as the unicorn touched the criminal with his horn, he would know whether he was guilty.

Whether this divine beast exists is too long to infer, but through the observation just now, I guess the so-called divine beast itself is a sinister object. When Gao Yao tried the case, he used it to touch the other party, and the innocent person did not respond. The guilty person would witness an extremely terrifying monster face. Perhaps this is how the legend of Xie Zhiduo's death came from...

The function of this divine horn is to trial cases, so whenever someone in the school makes a mistake, he will be forced to use ancient criminal laws to abuse them. Using ropes to whip themselves, taking mops, and hitting themselves with a rattan is to punish themselves, chopping them is to intercept them, and missing is to punish them. These are all the five ancient punishments, but there are several versions of the five ancient punishments, and in fact there should be more than five criminal laws.

After hearing me, Teacher Xia said in surprise: "Gao Yao? My hometown is from Lu'an. Everyone knows this name. There is also a sculpture of a unicorn in the city. The other name of Lu'an is also called Gaocheng."

I said, "What a coincidence!"

"It's incredible. The saints in my hometown are actually in this school. But Mr. Zhang, what evil things I just heard you say are all things with great resentment. Does the ancient saint Gao Yao also have resentment?" Teacher Xia asked in confusion.

"I don't know whether he is resentful or not. I only know that he is using ancient criminal law to judge the right and wrong today." I lowered the teacup with a cold face.

The principal asked, "How do you say this?"

"The criminal law formulated by Gao Yao back then stated that father is righteous, mother is kind, brother is kind, brother is respectful, and son is filial. This could make the world peaceful at that time, but it was not suitable for modern society. For example, in ancient times, unfilial piety was a serious crime, but today is just a moral issue." After obtaining Li Mazi's consent, I told me what happened last night. After hearing this, the principal and Teacher Xia were both surprised.

Li Xiaomeng pushed Li Mazi last night, which was unfilial in Yin Ling's eyes, so she was sentenced to be whipped!

I said again: "And the torture he used too much. What are the whipping and cutting his hands? In today's legal society, it is completely inhumane. This yin object sounds special and belongs to a functional yin object."

The principal asked, "What is a functional yin object?"

I thought for a while and said, "I'll give an example, it's like a beheaded knife. This knife may have cut thousands of heads. One day it suddenly breaks and is thrown away by someone, but it still wants to behead the head. This is what Buddhism calls obsession. If there is obsession, it will cause trouble! The same is true for this horn. It likes to examine cases, and the obsession left by users is uncontrollable when it comes to trouble."

The principal nodded and said, "Mr. Zhang's analysis is really reasonable. Listening to Mr. Zhang's words, I was enlightened and suddenly enlightened."

I smiled modestly. Actually, I have a headache now because this cannot be solved by resolving the resentment.

Obsession is a very powerful thing. As the saying goes, the three armies can seize the commander, but ordinary men cannot seize the ambition! It is even more difficult to convince an ordinary person. Such a thousand-year obsession will be even more difficult to resolve...

However, the principal actually said these words, just because he wanted to entrust me, that is, there is business to do. I can't show my timidity in front of the client, right?

Li Mazi asked, "No, then why did I get caught just now? I didn't steal or rob, why did I say that I had committed a crime?"

I couldn't help but laugh: "Didn't you stuff a hundred yuan in benefits to the guardian? You're considered bribery, he's considered taking bribes!"

Li Mazi was shocked: "I will be fined even if it costs 100 yuan. Damn, this is too much."

Yin Xinyue raised a question: "Husband, how could this corner come to Huanggang for a long time? Logically speaking, this kind of thing should have happened in Lu'an?"

I said, "I'm afraid someone is interfering with it. I guess it's related to the case of a student falling from a building three months ago."

Teacher Xia said: "Wait, I seem to remember a piece of news, let me find it!"

She took out her cell phone and searched, found a news from last year, and read it to us. It turned out that several thieves dug up Gao Yao’s tomb in Lu'an City last year. After the police arrived, they solved the case. Because the thieves kowtowed to Gao Yao’s tomb all night, their heads were covered in blood, and they fainted. It seemed that these thieves accidentally triggered this divine horn and sentenced them to death on the spot.

Afterwards, cultural relics experts came to inspect, and all the stolen goods were recovered and sent to the municipal museum. In fact, there were only some broken clay pots. Although Gao Yao was an ancient saint, the Xia Dynasty had just left the barbaric era and the ministers were relatively poor. How could they have any burial objects? It was incomparable to those nobles who built tombs into underground mazes after the Spring and Autumn Period and buried thousands of treasures with them.

I asked, "Did this horn be mentioned in the news?"

Teacher Xia shook his head: "The above didn't say anything, why don't I call back to my hometown to ask?"

"No need to worry, since this corner is at work in this school, it means that someone must have been taken away at that time..." I sighed.

The principal asked, "Mr. Zhang, can you conquer this troubled horn?"

I said, "I dare not talk all the time. It is not convenient to move in school during the day. I will come and have a look at it in the evening."

"How much does that cost?" the principal asked in a low voice.

After two years of training, my mind has become very calm. It is not something that the master does. I said lightly: "The necessary labor fees will still be charged, but don't worry, I am not the kind of genius who raises prices on the ground. In short, I will investigate first. Since I have taken care of this matter, it will definitely be completely solved."

The principal seemed to have a calming pill: "Okay, okay, Mr. Zhang's accommodation and food expenses have been paid by the school these two days. If you need anything, you can find me or my secretary."

"No need to do this. You can lend Teacher Xia to us for a few days. She is from Gao Yao's hometown, so she may be able to help." I said.

Teacher Xia agreed readily, as if she was a little excited. She said, "I usually live in the faculty and staff dormitory. If you investigate at night, I should be able to take time out."

Why did I pull her up? Because when we were sitting here and talking, I found that Teacher Xia glanced at Li Mazi several times, as if she was a little interested in Li Mazi.

Li Mazi suffered consecutive blows during this period, and I felt a little sorry for him. As the saying goes, "The worst thing is to come. A person cannot be unlucky all the time, nor can he always defeat his wife. Li Mazi should have a good luck, right? Since Teacher Xia is interested in him, why don't I go with the flow?

After we said goodbye to the principal, we came outside with Teacher Xia. Her name was Xia Qin. Xia Qin said to Li Mazi: "Mr. Li, I'm really sorry for my rude words just now."

"No, it doesn't matter. I feel relieved to see Xiao Meng's teacher so serious and responsible."

I felt this was an opportunity, so I said, "Well, Teacher Xia, you have a lot of classes during the day, right? Let's have a meal together after school at night."

"Okay, but I have to treat you. You are guests, so how can you spend money?"

At this time, the preparatory bell rang, and the students on the playground went back to the classroom one after another. Xia Qin said, "I will lose my companionship in the second quarter."

"Okay, go." I nodded.
