Chapter 433: Panjia Village's Strange Injustices Through the Ages
Yanggu County is not big, it doesn't take half an hour to turn around, but the county town is antique, with hundreds of history, and some old buildings still retain their original style.
Under the guidance of enthusiastic passers-by, Ye Xu and the others stopped in Panjia Village. Here by the mountains and rivers, the scenery is beautiful, the folk customs are simple, and it is a rare place to go.
Staying in a farmhouse hotel, here is the layout of a courtyard house, with a patio in the middle, and surrounded by a courtyard similar to the kind of courtyard of the village people, which has a very local atmosphere.
It can be seen that Huayin likes this place very much, Mengkong is a monk, and he is home wherever he goes, so he is not picky about where he lives, but he is just interested in food. He saw that there was a lot of game hanging in his master's house, including fresh hares and pheasants that had just been caught yesterday, as well as air-dried bacon and ham, and he was immediately interested.
Seeing this, Ye Xu asked the host to pick a good one, although it was done, the price was not a problem. The master's family is also surnamed Pan, and the old man's name is Pan Winter, because he was born in winter, so he was named directly after the season.
In the courtyard, while enjoying the cool while eating the farmer's meal, the table is full of wild vegetables and all kinds of game, the hare and braised pork stewed together, plus a handful of the unique shepherd's cabbage, it is delicious. The pheasant is mixed with the foamed mountain mushrooms and stir-fried, sprinkled with a handful of wild mountain onions, and the taste is so delicious that even the flower sound has eaten a few more pieces.
The biggest gain of Mengkong and Ye Xu walking together is that they have tasted all kinds of delicacies, this great monk who cultivates his mind but does not cultivate his mouth, eats sweating, and looks at the master's family with a grin.
"Uncle Pan, do all the people in Panjia Village have the surname Pan?" Ye Xu chatted.
"Almost, we are all descendants of our ancestors surnamed Pan, and the village next door is surnamed Wu." Pan Winter Road.
Ye Xu was slightly stunned, the surname of Pan Wu in Yanggu County, these were linked, which reminded him of the well-known story in the novel.
"Did the lad think of something?" Pan Dong smoked a dry cigarette and glanced at Ye Xudao.
Ye Xu wanted to speak and stopped, it was not good to ask if you were Pan Jinlian's descendants, in case it was not equivalent to slapping someone in the face.
"I know what you're thinking, one of our ancestors' celebrities is named Pan Jinlian." Pan Dongdong didn't mind.
"Huh?" Not only Ye Xu was surprised at this time, but even Mengkong and Huayin were curious.
The story of Pan Jinlian is so famous that even Huayin, who is far away on the island, knows this allusion, and "Water Margin", as one of the four famous novels, interprets this story vividly.
"That Takemura?" Ye Xu said suspiciously.
"Yes, it is the hometown of the Wu brothers, and it was later changed to Wu Village." When Pan Winter said this, there was a little melancholy in his tone.
He continued: "After Wu Dalang committed suicide, Wu Song followed Liangshan's team to fight the world, and finally became a monk, and their Wu clan changed the village of the family surnamed Wu to Wu Village in order to commemorate this hero. Pan Dongdong continued.
"Wait, Wu Dalang committed suicide?" Ye Xu opened his mouth wide.
"Yes, the history in that book is all made up by people, Wu Dalang committed suicide, and Pan Jinlian was accidentally killed by Wu Song, but the real Pan Jinlian is a chaste martyr, and our Panjia Village also set up a chaste archway for her according to historical records." Pan Dong said proudly.
Ye Xu fainted, Mengkong and Huayin looked at each other even more, where is this, the people of Panjia Village really dare to put gold on their faces, and dare to tamper with history?
Pan Dongdong looked at their expressions, "I know you don't believe it, let me tell you from the beginning, this Pan Jinlian has been wronged for hundreds of years." ”
Even Mengkong, a foodie, didn't eat it, and several people listened to Pan Dongdong tell this story with great interest.
Pan Dongdong said slowly, this Pan Jinlian was indeed sold to bury her father back then, and was taken in by Wu Dalang. But Nawu Dalang is a man who can't do anything, and after Pan Jinlian got married, she was still a virgin like jade.
This Pan Jinlian has had a childhood sweetheart since she was a child, that is Ximenqing, but after she was scattered since she was a child, her families made a living and lost contact. Unexpectedly, Ximen Qing met Pan Jinlian at Wu Dalang, and Pan Jinlian also carried a piece of his family's ancestral jade pendant around his neck, which he gave to Jin Lian when he was a child.
Poor Jin Lian was single-minded and kept this piece of jade with her.
Ximenqing and Pan Jinlian got together, full of emotion, and they still remembered the old love when they talked about the past. Ximenqing is already married and has children, and has a solid life, so he wants to redeem Pan Jinlian and remarry her as a second room.
Pan Jinlian also agreed after thinking about it, and when Ximen Qing found Wu Dalang and asked him to write a letter of resignation, Wu Dalang was not only short in length, but also very small in heart, such a beautiful woman like a flower and jade, she couldn't touch it and was unwilling to keep it by her side, and insisted on refusing to write a letter of resignation.
Ximen Qing was helpless, and he didn't go out until 100 gold, which made Wu Dalang shake his mind. After Ximenqing went back, Wu Dalang thought about it and looked at Pan Jinlian, who was as delicate as a fairy, and wanted to regret it, but his heart hurt the one hundred taels of gold.
Wu Dalang didn't make a decision for a long time, and Ximen Qing secretly came to Pan Jinlian every once in a while to tell him about the pain of lovesickness.
The two of them have always respected each other and have not acted excessively, but in that era, such actions would undoubtedly be gossiped, and if it spread more and more, in the end, Pan Jinlian's reputation was destroyed, and Wu Dalang was suspected of being a cuckold.
Wu Dalang was so angry that he couldn't swallow it in one breath, so he wrote a letter to his younger brother Wu Song, and then committed suicide by taking medicine.
This Wu Song was originally a hero, but he was upright and reckless, and when he came back, he didn't ask any questions, and directly killed Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qingmanmen.
And Wu Song's ordination was because he met a fellow villager, who said that after Wu Song killed Ximen Qing and left, he found out that she was still a virgin when he pretended to be an old woman and gave Pan Jinlian an autopsy. And the fact that Pan Jinlian has been with Ximen Qing's childhood sweetheart has been rumored in Pan's hometown, who is in the know.
Wu Song repented late, and finally became a monk and repented, surpassing Pan Jinlian's soul.
After listening to Pan Dongdong's story, several people were speechless for a long time, and Ye Xu was even more skeptical.
"Is this history passed down orally, or is there real evidence?" Ye Xu said.
"Of course, there is real evidence, and later someone recorded it according to this, and found witnesses to sort out a copy of "Pan Wupiao", and now there is only one fragment left, and the other half of the content is missing, what a pity." Pan Dongdong sighed.
"After so many years, not only Pan Jinlian, but even our Panjia Village have been burdened with this notoriety of unchastity, and we have always wanted to restore our reputation, but we can't find the half of the Song version of "Pan Wu Piao"."
"And the old woman who gave Pan Jinlian an autopsy back then was a member of the martial family, and it is said that the martial family also had a copy of "Pan's Martyrdom" handed down, and attached a certificate that Pan Jinlian was a virgin like jade, and there was also a big seal of the county government on it, and the county magistrate Song Housheng personally wrote a marginal note to prove Pan Jinlian's innocence."
Pan Dongdong buckled the dry tobacco stick and sighed again, "It's a pity, all these things that can be proved are gone, so I have to let the wild historical novels flood among the people, staining Pan Jinlian's innocence." ”
Ye Xu never thought that this Pan Jinlian still had such an unknown past, and he was embarrassed.
"Bingo"
The Sealed Spirit Hall came out, "Master, Pan Jinlian's soul wants to see you"
