　　"You have yin entrenched in you, and there will be a disaster of blood in the near future. You must set up a Buddha to offer incense to break the wealth and eliminate disasters, and you must be in harmony with the yin and yang of the destined nobles. Only then can you keep your family safe and everything goes well..." Seeing the "Jiuhuashan Fengshui Master" on WeChat " Liu Ling (pseudonym) panicked immediately after an inscrutable speech.

Under the guidance of the "Feng Shui Master", in order to absorb "Yang Qi" to resolve the disaster, Liu Ling met and had a sexual relationship with a "noble person" who matched the eight characters, and also contributed to his partnership to "do business".

It was not until Liu Ling realized that she was deceived into calling the police and the public security organs solved the case. She didn't know that the "Feng Shui Master" contacted by WeChat, the "Feng Shui Mr." who introduced her to the "Master", and the so-called "noble people" were actually all alone.

　　The Qingxian People's Court of Hebei Province and the Cangzhou City Intermediate People's Court recently heard such a fraud and rape case under the guise of feudal superstition.

　　make up identities

　　Hu, who was born in 1990, has only a junior high school education, and usually supports his family by repairing natural gas fireplaces in Qingxian County.

In December 2020, Hu met a woman named Liu when he entered the house to repair the wall-hung boiler.

Hu lied that several trees in Liu's yard had bad feng shui and had "yin", which affected the family's fortune.

　　For Hu's false remarks, Liu took it seriously after hearing it. He felt that this person was a bit "daoist", and also introduced Hu to his sister Liu Ling, who had a bad marriage recently.

Under the introduction of her sister, Liu Ling added Hu's WeChat nickname of "Shan" and started chatting with "Mr. Feng Shui" on the other side of WeChat.

Seeing this, Hu Mou secretly plotted a scam.

　　In order to win Liu Ling's trust, Hu first pretended to be frank, and told her through WeChat that the problems she was facing were more serious and that her "doing" was too shallow to see.

After some resignation, Hu revealed that he had a master in Jiuhua Mountain who was quite "daoist" and was willing to introduce Liu Ling, and Liu Ling readily agreed.

　　Hu Mou also told Liu Ling that Master Jiuhuashan would not tell fortune-telling for strangers easily, but Liu Ling pretended to be her cousin.

Liu Ling saw that her actions were very mysterious, and she was even more convinced.

Afterwards, Hu recommended another WeChat account of his nickname "Chaoyue" to Liu Ling, and he became a "Jiuhuashan Fengshui Master".

　　Afterwards, Hu Mou used the "transcendence" WeChat account to show Liu Ling's face and fortune-telling her birth date, so as to tell some of the unhappy things that Liu Ling encountered in marriage, family and career. told him.

Hearing what the "Master" said was basically the same as the actual situation, Liu Ling was even more convinced.

　　coercion, intimidation

　　Talking about the root cause of all misfortunes, Hu told Liu Ling that she has a lot of "yin", which not only affects the past, but also has a bloody disaster in the near future.

　　Liu Ling was deeply panicked by this, and quickly asked how to resolve it.

Hu told Liu Ling that if you want to eliminate disasters and solve difficulties, you need to find a "noble person" with a matching "yin and yang", so as to absorb "yang", otherwise the family will have an accident.

Liu Ling asked the "master" where to find such a "noble person".

Hu said that he happened to know a person who met the conditions and could recommend him and arrange for them to meet.

　　According to the recommendation of "Master", Liu Ling added Hu's WeChat account nicknamed "Yuan".

On December 20, 2020, Liu Ling and Hu, who pretended to be a "noble person", met at an express hotel and had a relationship.

A few days later, Hu repeated his old tricks and raped Liu Ling again.

　　During the trial, Liu Ling stated that the two sexual relations with the "noble person" were not consensual, but were caused by the "master" intimidation.

　　Hu not only cheated sex, but also cheated money.

During this period, in the name of "Feng Shui Master", he asked Liu Ling not only to maintain a long-term relationship with "noble people", but also to do business with "noble people", and asked Liu Ling to pay for Buddha statues to ensure safety. A total of 80,000 yuan was defrauded Liu Ling.

A few days later, Liu Ling felt that something was not right, so she asked the so-called "noble people" for the money from the previous business. Hu pushed back and said that the money had been spent.

At this time, Liu Ling finally realized that all this was a scam, so she reported the case to the Qingxian Public Security Bureau, and Hu was arrested.

　　Sentenced to seven years in prison

　　In April 2021, the Qingxian Procuratorate accused the defendant Hu of rape and fraud, and filed a public prosecution with the Qingxian Court.

The Qingxian court held that the defendant Hu raped the woman twice by coercion, and his behavior constituted the crime of rape; for the purpose of illegal possession, he defrauded others of 80,000 yuan of property, which constituted the crime of fraud.

For several crimes, the defendant Hu was sentenced to seven years in prison and a fine of 10,000 yuan.

　　After the first-instance judgment was pronounced, the defendant Hu appealed on the grounds that the sentence was too severe.

Recently, the Cangzhou Intermediate People's Court held that the original judgment found that the facts were clear, the application of the law was correct, the sentencing was appropriate, and the trial procedure was legal. It ruled to reject the appeal and uphold the original judgment.

　　The presiding judge of the first instance of the case said that this case is a typical criminal case of using feudal superstition to defraud wealth and sex. Liu Ling agreed to have a relationship with Hu because Hu used Liu Ling's superstition of Feng Shui to deceive her, which caused Liu Ling to have a relationship. Misunderstandings form psychological coercion.

His behavior has gone beyond the normal scope of folk customs based on feng shui appearance. It belongs to the use of superstition and fictitious facts, through fraud, verbal threats and other coercive methods, so that the victimized women do not know or dare not resist, have sexual relations with them against their own will, and fall into a wrong understanding. Disposal of property shall be identified as the crime of rape and fraud.

　　The judge reminded that feudal superstitions are not credible, and they should always be vigilant, firmly establish the awareness of advocating science and rejecting feudal superstitions, and protect their personal and property safety.

Once deceived, you must report to the case in a timely manner and boldly expose it, so that the criminals can be punished by the law they deserve.
