他是漢王朝一位著名的大臣。
歷史書上記載了一個關於他的故事。
他的父親曾任首都的副市長。
有一天，他與他的父親一起午餐。他的父親突然接到一件緊急通知。
他的父親對他說。
你慢慢吃飯，吃飽飯後記得把沒有吃完的豬肉收起來。
以免被老鼠偷走。
在那個時代，豬肉是很珍貴的，可以吃到豬肉是很稀罕的事。
就算他的父親是一個高級的政府官員，也只能偶爾吃到豬肉。
他吃完飯後，他忘記父親的吩咐，他跑去跟鄰居的朋友玩。
當天晚上，他的父親回家後發現那些沒吃完的豬肉被老鼠偷走了。
他的父親非常生氣，就狠狠地揍了他。
隔天，他的父親上班後，他愈想愈生氣。
他沒有反省自已忘記把沒有吃完的豬肉收起來，
他對自己說。
那一隻老鼠太可惡了，因為牠把肉偷走，所以我才被揍。
他設了一個陷阱抓到那隻老鼠，他接著把老鼠洞挖開。
他看到老鼠洞中，的確有一塊被老鼠吃剩的豬肉。
他把那一塊被老鼠吃剩的豬肉拿出來放在地上，他把被他抓到的那隻老鼠綁起來放在那塊豬肉的旁邊。
他開始審問這隻老鼠。
他對老鼠說。
你偷了一塊豬肉，你是否承認你的罪行。
老鼠發出嘰嘰的聲音。
他對老鼠說。
你說你沒有偷豬肉，但是我已經找到了贓物，你如何解釋。
老鼠發出嘰嘰的聲音。
他對老鼠說。
你說你肚子很餓所以偷了這塊豬肉，你承認你犯了罪。
我很憐憫你，因此我還是要根據法律來審判你，他把這過程中的所有對話寫成一張筆錄。
老鼠發出嘰嘰的聲音。
他對老鼠說。
你犯了罪，你就必須被處罰。
根據法律規定，因為你偷了東西所以你的手要被砍掉。
我待會就立刻執行這刑刑罰。
他做完這些事後，他覺得很開心，他覺得自已依照法律伸張了正義。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你是否有曾經到法院觀看審判的過程呢?你是否曾經偷過東西呢?
我希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
