Duanji was a magistrate who lived a hundred years ago. He was famed or the fairness of his judgements. One day, while the magistrate was walking through the market, he saw a crowd outside a poultry shop. On inquiring what the matter was, he learnt that a peasant had accidentally dropped a heavy sack on a chicken, crushing it to death.
The chicken was small, worthy only about five coins, but the owner of the shop had caught the peasant by his throat and was demanding a hundred. His argument was that the chicken would have grown into a plump bird in another two y ears and then it would have fetched him the amount he was asking for.
Somebody recognized the magistrate and everybody made way for him. “Judge our case, MY lord”, said the owner of the chicken, letting go of the peasant and bowing obsequiously to the magistrate. “This man, through his carelessness has caused the death of a chicken that would have fetched me a hundred coins in another two years!”
Pest had made the peasant’s speech incoherent. Nobody could understand what he was saying. “The price put on the chicken is hundred coins”, said the magistrate, to the peasant. “I advise you to pay.” There was a gasp from the crowd.
Everybody had expected the magistrate to rule in the peasant’s favour as he was penniless. The owner of the chicken was overjoyed. “They said you were fair in your judgements. My Lord,” He said, nibbling his hands in glee, “now I can say there is no one fairer than you”.
“The law is always fair”, smiled the magistrate. “Tell me, how much Grain does a chicken eat in a year.” “About half a sack”, said the poultry shop owner. “So in two years the chicken who died would have whole sack of grain,” said Duanji. “Please give the sack of grain you have saved to this man”.
