"There was a thunderclap, and someone was killed by lightning!"

"When Li Cailiang went home and passed by the river, a thunder chopped him to death!"

"At that time, many people from the same village went home after farming. ”

"I saw the scene where Li Liangcai was killed by thunder. ”

There was a loud thunder in the sky, the earth and rocks fell, the willow wood was broken, and a scorched black pit was blown out on the spot, and Li Liangcai, who happened to be walking on the bank of the river, fell directly into the cold river water in February, and his bones were gone. ”

When Li Liangcai's body was recovered from the lower reaches of the river by fishing nets and pulled back to the door of the Li family in Shangpan Village by an ox cart, Li Liangcai's death was so tragic that his hands and feet were blown off. ”

"The severed hands and feet, with the blood that had not yet dried, stained the ox cart red. ”

The corpse didn't even have a straw mat to cover, and the corpse was exposed all the way, so it was pulled back to Shangpan Village by ox cart. ”

Looking at her husband, who was fine not long ago and promised to go home for dinner after returning the cow, and in a blink of an eye, there was only a dead body, and Li suddenly heard the bad news and cried heartbroken. The son in his arms was also so frightened that he cried and kept crying for his father. ”

"Hey, that scene... Those who heard it wept. ”

"Li Cailiang's bones here are not cold, and rumors have spread in the village over there, and the villagers all say that this Li Liangcai must have done something to lose his conscience, so he will be retributed, and he was thundered by Lei Gong. Otherwise, he would not have been punished by God, and people would not only be hacked to death by lightning, but would still have no corpse. ”

The Li family, who was already crying bitterly, heard the gossip of the villagers around him, and cried even more heartbreakingly, saying that her old Li had been honest all his life, why did he still lose his reputation in his old age after death, and was slandered by others. ”

"But there is no choice but to make money, what role can Li be a woman and a Taoist family. The villagers gossiped and said that there are so many villagers in Shangpan Village, why didn't others be killed by thunder, but Li Cailiang let God chop them to death?"

"The old men and women in the village all said that this is God has eyes, God specializes in splitting evil people, not good people, God will not wronged good people, scolding the Li family for not respecting God, this is to be punished by God, this year Shangpan Village will definitely be implicated, the fields are dry, there is no harvest, and the teeth are grinning and scolding to drive away the Li family, so as not to cause the evil done by Li Cailiang's family and harm the innocent people in the whole village. ”

"Pity this Li Liangcai is still cold here, and let the orphaned and widowed Li family and his only son be bullied by the surrounding neighbors. ”

Just when everyone thought that this matter was so conclusive, Li Liangcai's death was killed by thunder, and even Li Zheng and Mura Yong had no objections, but a son stood up in the crowd. ”

Eight feet tall and eight feet wide, with a dignified body, fine skin and tender flesh, short inch hair like a monk, self-reported name, surname Jin Ming'an, and accompanied by a scholar and a chauffeur companion, it was the three people from other villages who had just stayed overnight in Shangpan Village tonight......

This self-proclaimed Jin'an, he said that when lightning strikes people, it will only leave a scorched black mark on the spot, and it will definitely not be like the earth and rocks that people see flying, the willow wood is broken, and there is a big pit in the place. ”

"This is obviously someone who buried gunpowder by the river in advance, deliberately led Li Liangcai to the preset location, and then pretended that Li Liangcai was killed by lightning. And with the help of the river, the river washed the riverbank, washed Li Liangcai's body, and achieved the attempt to destroy the corpse and wash away the residual particles and smell of gunpowder. ”

"Because only gunpowder in this world can have such a violent and domineering effect. ”

"The village Lizheng only needs to report this murder to the official and let the county government investigate who has recently bought a large amount of gunpowder, sulfur, and saltpeter; besides Li Liangcai who walks to the river by himself, who else is most likely to make an appointment with Li Liangcai by the river, or who walked with Li Liangcai at that time; and who is most beneficial to Li Liangcai's death... Then this person must be the murderer who killed Li Liangcai. ”

"Gunpowder?"

The villagers were shocked when they heard this, the Kangding court had extremely strict control over the folk gunpowder, and the gunpowder belonged to the ordnance control, and it was strictly forbidden for the people to possess gunpowder in the Kangding State, and even the formula of gunpowder was forbidden to go to the people. ”

The villagers didn't believe it, Li Cailiang died of gunpowder. ”

"Because no one in the people has access to gunpowder. ”

The crowd was angry and scolded these people from other villages for being disrespectful to God, and wanted to drive these people from other villages out of Shangpan Village together with Li's mother and son. ”

But fortunately, Li Zheng has studied in private school for a few years, and his knowledge is wider than that of these illiterate poor mountains and bad waters, and Li Zheng knows that once this matter involves gunpowder, it is a big matter, and it is definitely not something that he can take over a small Li Zheng. It is better to believe that it is not credible, and it is absolutely impossible to conceal and lie about this matter, Li Zheng sent several village warriors with the fastest legs and feet to report the matter to the county government of Changxian County overnight. ”

"I heard that there was a suspected gunpowder case in a small rural village in Chang County, Zhang Zhi County of Chang County did not dare to delay, and lit all the heads of the county overnight, brought the trappers and fast horses, and divided the soldiers into several ways, according to the clues mentioned by the son of Jin An, and investigated overnight, and sure enough, the real murderer was quickly caught!"

"It really responds to a folk proverb, if people don't know, they can't do it unless they do. ”

"Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of the yali calling the door in the middle of the night. ”

"The murderer who killed Li Liangcai was Li Liangcai's relative in the same village. That man was a bad gambler, and in the early years, he borrowed money from Li Liangcai and his wife to help him tide over the difficulties, and vowed never to gamble again in the future. Li Liangcai and his wife saw that he was pitiful, believed his words, and took out their savings to help him pay off his gambling debts. ”

As a result, not only did the guy not repent, but after his relatives helped him repay the money, he continued to gamble like his life, and he never paid back the money owed to Li Liangcai and his wife, but also asked Li Liangcai to borrow money in private several times. But Li Liangcai knows that his gambling nature is difficult to change, and lending money to a good gambler is like a bamboo basket to draw water, so he has always refused to borrow money again. ”

"This rotten gambler's relatives saw that Li Liangcai obviously had savings but was unwilling to help his relatives, and felt that he couldn't pay back the money for a lifetime, so he had evil thoughts and designed to kill Li Liangcai, and when he was left with a weak personality of Li's orphan daughter and widow, he didn't have to pay back. He even devised a vicious plan to incite ignorant villagers who did not know the truth to drive away the orphans and widows of the Li family, and then took the opportunity to occupy the houses and fields. ”

"As the saying goes, emergency relief is not poverty relief. ”

"Shengmien, Doumien. ”

"People know that ghosts are terrifying, and ghosts know that people are poisonous. ”

"It was supposed to be a 'lightning struck scorched corpse case', but in the end it was a 'record of clearing grievances', and finally another 'strange case of private possession of gunpowder by the people' was involved, with twists and turns, twists and turns. ”

And because the son surnamed Jin Ming'an, because of the merit of cracking the gunpowder case, was appreciated by the county government and the county, and set up a banquet to entertain, Zhang Zhixian was well aware of the righteousness, rewards and punishments were clear, and at the banquet, let the county businessman squire raise three hundred taels of silver, and handed it over to the son of Jin An in person, thanks to the son of Jin An for saving the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Chang County, and now the businessman squire raised money into a plaque, which is still hanging on the archway of Chang County. ”
