Cai Yu studied hard in the cold window of a relative's house and didn't realize the time, and when he was hungry after studying late one day, he went to the kitchen to find some food, and suddenly found that someone next door was groaning. He thought someone was hurt, so he walked to the source of the sound, it turned out to be the next-door neighbor, he was already stammering, and he only shouted when he was in a hurry.

Then, the sound next door stopped abruptly, and a dark shadow ran out of the bathroom. Cai Yu was even more worried about the safety of her neighbor, so she climbed over the wall and went into the toilet, but saw the neighbor's woman's snow-white big buttocks. Cai Yu was taken aback, but unexpectedly, the woman also screamed loudly and shouted: "Someone, a pervert, someone, a pervert!" ”

So, this Cai Yu was arrested by the villagers, this Cai Yu was an outsider, and he made a big mistake by peeking at the women in the village going to the toilet. The woman cried and cried, "The little woman Tang has been married here for more than two years, and her husband has just died less than 100 days, and there are evil people who covet the little girl. The village is in charge, if you don't give the little girl an explanation, the little woman will go to her mother's house to complain, there is no room for a chaste martyr in this beautiful village! ”

It turned out that this woman Tang married from other places, originally for the son of a rich family in the village, but she didn't expect that less than a year after getting married, the son of the rich family fell ill and died. Tang threatened to be a widow for her husband for a lifetime, to be a chaste martyr in the village, and to fight for a chastity archway for the village, so the people in the village respected her very much.

At this time, the chaste martyr was looked at by someone, so she had to smash the archway of chastity in the village? So the villagers were very angry and demanded that Cai Yu be executed. Fortunately, Cai Yu's relatives are also figures in the village, shouting: "My nephew is a Xiucai, that is, you don't have to kneel when you see the county order, if you kill my nephew, I'm afraid that the government will drag you to Saibei to serve hard labor." ”

In the past 30 years, those who went to Saibei to do hard labor, basically did not come back, either died outside, or settled down and could not return to their hometowns, so in the eyes of the local people, the second only to death, was sent to Saibei to do hard labor. When the villagers heard this, they hurriedly stopped, but they couldn't let go of the people, and they didn't know what to do, so they looked at the village one after another.

The village is thinking that if the villagers of Yuanmei Village beat this Xiucai to death, the village will definitely be punished by the county order, after all, there are only so many Xiucai in the entire Youzhou. So everyone tied the "voyeur" hand and foot together in the way of tying wild beasts, and carried it to the county government with wooden sticks, asking the county magistrate to decide. It's just that this is like tying a piglet, parading people through the streets, and Cai Yu can't explain it even if he has ten mouths, and besides, this person is still a stammer, and he can't explain it. Seeing this, the people of Qinghua County pointed out that this scholar surnamed Cai was obscene and evil, unworthy of being a showman, and not worthy of being a talent in this county.

Seeing the county order, the Tang clan knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "Lord county order, you may not know me, I am a famous chaste martyr in our village, loyal and loyal, such an insult, it is really a shame to kill me." It's better for you to give me three feet of white silk and let me die, so as not to affect our beautiful village and the reputation of Qinghua County. County master, you have to be the master of the slave family. ”

The county order is really difficult to do, and the Holy Han Dynasty also has a sentence that cannot be punished, and this Xiucai is really unlucky, that is, he peeked at the ass of a little widow of the neighbor next door, whether he did anything else, naturally he would not be sentenced to death. After thinking about it, the county order said: "Cai Yu peeping at the woman next door to go to the toilet, this is a matter of morality, but it is not a traitor, not a thief, not a plunder, and no harm. This case, as a county chronicle recorded, Tang martyr, he will definitely ask His Majesty for a chastity archway, standing at the head of your village, lest anyone say irresponsible remarks. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Tang said gratefully.

However, for Cai Yu, it was really extremely wronged, he was kindly slandered as a ** pervert, and he was even removed from his reputation for showing his talents, and he was not allowed to continue studying, which was tantamount to murder and punishment, and even took him to death from body to spirit. Cai Yu wrote ten complaints, but was directly torn up by the county order, and told the yastodian: "This person insulted the scholar with three words, if he comes to the door of the yamen in the future, he will be beaten away." ”

Cai Yu returned home, and when he saw his father and mother, he cried, not knowing how he would live in the future, thinking about it, he ran outside the city to find a crooked-necked tree and hang him. How could I have thought that he was hanging, Zhang Xiaowu was camelped here by an elk, which can be regarded as God's destined fate.

Zhang Xiaowu looked at his story, noticed a key point, that is, the black figure, and asked, "Have you seen it clearly?" Is that a figure? Is that a person? ”

Cai Yu replied that he could see it clearly, it was a figure, but it was too dark at that time to see who it was, and he didn't know whether it was a man or a woman. Zhang Xiaowu asked how many members of the Tang family were, and Cai Yu said that he didn't know how many people his family had, because he had only been in the village for a month, and he had only been out of his uncle's yard twice.

Zhang Xiaowu said: "That's it, I suspect that there is something wrong with her family, you take me to this beautiful village, I want to see what this chaste martyr is doing." ”

Zhao Fu immediately reacted and asked, "My lord, do you mean that a chaste martyr is not chaste?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Only in her twenties, you have to be a chaste martyr, have you ever seen a woman who is so young and has to be widowed for a lifetime?" ”

Everyone shook their heads and said, "My lord, we haven't touched a woman yet." ”

Zhang Xiaowu reacted at this time, these young men are really half-old, naturally they have never touched a woman, so they laughed and said, "Let's catch ghosts today-I'll go!" What about my daughter-in-law? ”

Everyone hurried back, and when they saw Gu Ruoxi roasting game with a group of soldiers, she glared at Zhang Xiaowu reproachfully, meaning that you threw me away. Zhang Xiaowu was very embarrassed, but An An was the fastest, and said that Grandpa saved someone. Gu Ruoxi hurriedly asked what was going on, Zhang Xiaowu explained, Gu Ruoxi said, "You still plan to help him avenge his grievances, don't you?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "This elk carried me to his side and saved his life, which shows that we have a fate in the dark, as the so-called good man sends the Buddha to the west in the end, what if I help him clear up his grievances, I don't lose anything." ”

Gu Ruoxi asked: "I know what a good person does in the end, but what does it mean to send the Buddha to the west, and which allusion comes from?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu patted his head and secretly screamed confused, this proverb naturally comes from the story of "Journey to the West", but there is no "Journey to the West" in this world, and where does the saying come from, so he had to laugh and say: "Asking for life for the people, I can be regarded as doing a good deed." Don't look at me to save him now, but if he can't get revenge, he will find another crooked neck tree tomorrow and hang him. ”

Gu Ruoxi no longer stopped him, and also felt that this Cai Yu was really wronged.
