"Oh? Lord County, I don't know what the case is? Ye Guan heard Yu County's order, so he asked curiously.

"Here's the thing......" Yu Xian Ling twisted his beard in one hand and told the case on the paper.

Xiwang Village is a small village under the jurisdiction of Huating County, there are more than 100 people in Zhuangzi, almost more than 80 households are surnamed Wang, and they all belong to an ancestor more than 100 years ago. Therefore, the chief of the bao, the chief of the li, and the big landlords in the village all belong to their Wang family.

Two months ago, heavy rains in Nanzhili caused the water level of the river to soar, flooding several villages along the river, and many villagers who did not provide timely relief dragged their children and daughters along the road to beg, some of them came to Xiwang Village.

A large landlord surnamed Wang in Xiwang Village has only one son who has been ill for a long time, and they believe in the ghost idea of Lang Zhong from You Fang, saying that their son's long-term illness is due to the disharmony of yin and yang caused by the entanglement of yin qi. Let them use great joy to flush out bad luck, so that their son may be cured.

The old couple of the landlords were also sick and rushed to the doctor, and they believed the words of this You Fang Langzhong. The rich man of the king went everywhere to help his son find a good match. But most of the people in the village knew that the son of the rich man Wang was a sick ghost, and this was the ground in the south of the Yangtze River, and the people's lives were quite passable, so they were unwilling to push their daughter into the fire pit.

After looking for a long time, no one agreed to marry their daughters to their sons, and the prices of those slaves and maids who could give birth were too high. And because she is a maidservant, she can only become a concubine, not a wife, and the female slave maid in her age plus the introduction fee of the tooth person is as high as dozens of taels of silver, so that the stingy rich man like Grande is reluctant. And his son saw that he was getting worse and worse, and even began to cough up blood. The rich man and his family, who were really anxious, finally came up with a good way when the displaced people fled to their village-buy a woman and let her come to Chong Chongxi for their son.

They found a condition among those homeless people that met their requirements, the most important thing was the daughter of a cheap family, the family's surname was Zhang, and the daughter did not have a big name, so she was replaced by the second sister Zhang. There were originally parents, brothers and sisters-in-law in the family, plus herself, a total of five people. They were displaced to Xiwang Village, without food and clothing, and when the flood waters receded, there was no harvest this year, and they were worried about how to spend the second half of the year. Under the temptation of Li Zheng and Zhang Caizhu, Zhang Laohan thought that he was just a yeoman farmer, and his daughter could marry a landlord's family and be a wife, which was an excellent thing. So in the end, the two families discussed and decided to marry their daughter with three taels of silver and 100 catties of brown rice, saying that they were marrying off, but in fact they were sold.

The night before the two families were satisfied and chose the auspicious day of the good day ten days later, the sick ghost son of the rich man suddenly continued to cough up blood in the middle of the night, and hung up at dawn. Before she got married, Second Sister Zhang became a widow, and she was only sixteen years old.

The rich man and his family were afraid that their son would die and would not have a wife, and they would be lonely and lonely underground, so they concealed the news of their son's death. The next day, he invited relatives and friends to the wedding banquet on time, and under the pretext that his son was too sick to get up, he asked his nephew to take Second Sister Zhang back, and replaced his son with a big rooster to marry Second Sister Zhang.

The people in the village who came to participate in the congratulatory celebration saw this situation, and most of them understood that it was estimated that the son of the rich man Wang was not good, but because they were all from the same village, and they were also related to the family, no one made it clear to the son of Zhang Laohan who sent his relatives, and only said that the son of the rich man Zhang was indeed seriously ill in the past few days, so he hurriedly got married and came to Chong Chongxi, and when he became a parent, your sister-in-law's illness will be cured. In addition, the rich man kept instructing people to pour wine on Second Sister Zhang's brother, and he was confused.

Second Sister Zhang has never seen the world, and a sixteen-year-old girl with an annuity doesn't know what the situation is. When she was sent to the new house, she could vaguely see a person lying on the bed with her head covered, the person was motionless, it seemed to be asleep, Second Sister Zhang was uneasy in her heart, and she didn't know what kind of person he was going to live with for the rest of his life. Half of his ass sat on the edge of the bed, his hands on his legs, motionless, waiting for his own Sina to pick up his hijab with a weighing rod.

Second Sister Zhang sat on the edge of the bed and listened to the red candles in the new room beeping and burning, the tone of the whole room was warmed by the candles of the red candles, thinking about what kind of person her husband should be, she had never heard what kind of person her man was from getting married to tonight, only knew that he was a little sick. But why did he lie in bed for a long time without any movement, could it be that he was overworked during the day?

It was getting deeper and deeper, and the noise in the yard finally gradually dissipated, and half of Second Sister Zhang's buttocks were made wood, and she didn't see her groom turn over or say a word. Originally, the people who were drinking and chatting outside were still there, but when the Naxi people dispersed, Second Sister Zhang felt more and more scared when she sat alone in the new house, because it was too quiet!

After waiting for another stick of incense, Second Sister Zhang was just a sixteen-year-old girl, officially at the age of jumping and jumping, she could endure such an atmosphere, so she secretly lifted her hijab a little, and saw that her man was still sleeping on the bed, and she was a little bored. She didn't expect that the most important thing in her life would become like this, and when she saw that she had to sleep peacefully, she simply stopped hijabs and showed up, ready to take a closer look at her husband.

Second Sister Zhang leaned over to look at her father-in-law, with a sallow and sallow face with a miserable white face, the whole person was lying motionless on the bed like a piece of wood, the more Sister Zhang looked at it, the more frightened she became, and she always felt that something was wrong. Her husband-in-law seemed to be too quiet, not like a person, so Second Sister Zhang tried to push him, motionless, pushing him, still motionless, and finally used a little more strength, Second Sister Zhang found out that her husband's body was stiff, and he had been dead for I don't know how long.

This is not the last situation, Second Sister Zhang cried and shouted to go home, and in order to let their son have a wife, Zhang Caizhu and his wife were afraid that Second Sister Zhang would run away secretly, and they were actually mad

broke the tendons of Second Sister Zhang's hands and feet, making her a waste, and later carved the appearance of a son with wood, so that she could accompany the wooden man day and night.

Second Sister Zhang's hands and feet were useless, like a wasted person, lying in bed day and night with the wooden man, and finally died of hunger strike for seven or eight days.

Rich Master Zhang is waiting for this day, as long as Second Sister Zhang commits suicide, then their family is not at fault. After learning that the second sister Zhang died, the rich man Zhang and the villagers and the villagers even brought the parents of the second sister Zhang to the death of the second sister Zhang, they actually beat the gong and drum to bury the body of the second sister Zhang with the son of the rich man, and also asked the Xiucai in the village to write a complaint, asking the county to report to the imperial court, and asking the government to publicize the festival of women and martyrs, and the officials at all levels should give commendations, enter the festival of filial piety, and even hope to set up a chastity archway, included in the official history and local chronicles.

Not only is he not ashamed to see them forcing people to death, but he actually publicizes such things with great fanfare, and even encourages them. Thinking that the husband of Second Sister Zhang's wedding night was actually a four-person person, and wanted to run away and was broken by her husband's hands and feet, lying on the bed and dying of hunger strike for seven or eight days, she was suddenly furious, slammed the teacup hard, and changed color: "There is still such a thing!" ”

Yu County Ling saw that Ye Guan was actually furious, and he didn't feel a little strange: "Virtuous nephew, this is a good example of commending our emperor Shengming, the king's Taoism and generosity, our county's official examination company is also a good thing to write down a heavy stroke, why are you so angry?" ”
