Chapter 546: Evil Obstacles
The news reached the ears of Second Uncle Lei's wife, who was preparing to give birth at home, and when she heard the news, she was heartbroken, and she had a difficult birth during childbirth, and the lives of adults and children were not saved.
Second Uncle Lei's father knew that his son, daughter-in-law and grandson were gone, so he cried all day long, did not eat or drink, and died after more than a month.
At this time, everyone remembered the coffin that Second Uncle Lei had moved, and remembered what the old man said.
The people in the village began to say that Second Uncle Lei was not doing his job properly and had no kindness, so the souls in the coffin would take revenge like this and let his family die.
Something strange happened in Nanaicun.
There is an old well at the east end of this village, which is said to have been the alchemy well of a warlock.
This wellhead is round, made of white granite, there is clear water all year round, the well water is sweet and fragrant, how deep it is, no one can say, some people say that this well has no bottom, all the way to the old dragon palace of the East China Sea.
Recently, a strange fish suddenly appeared in this ancient well, with a red body and barbs, and the most strange thing is that it can swallow things.
The strange story of the strange fish in Qili Village who could eat things quickly spread throughout the town, and when Jiang Furen heard about it, he started to think.
He thought, if he can catch this kind of divine fish and present it to the king, and the king is happy, won't he be promoted to an official and make a fortune?
So, he let out the wind and was willing to pay a hundred shells to buy a strange fish.
This caused a sensation in the town, and all the diving masters came to Qijing Village to catch strange fish, but none of them succeeded, and all the people who wanted to catch it were inexplicably sick one after another, and I heard that several people died.
So everyone is superstitious that this is a kind of divine fish, and whoever catches it is unlucky.
A hundred shells is a lot, but it is not worth it to die for it, so the number of fishermen is thinning.
Although Jiang Furen later increased the remuneration to three hundred shells, no one dared to try it easily.
However, it is said that there is a family in this Qijing Village, whose surname is Pregnant Long, and there is a brother named Pregnant Tiger, whose ancestors have lived by fishing for generations.
After he heard the news released by Jiang Furen, he has been fishing unremittingly, and gradually mastered the living habits and haunting rules of strange fish, and almost caught strange fish several times.
On this day, he told his wife that he would definitely catch a strange fish today.
The wife was full of joy at home waiting for her husband's good news, but she waited left and right, but she did not see her husband back, until it was dark, and there was no sign of her husband.
The wife hurriedly locked the door and went out to look for her husband, but when she found her husband's body by the well, she burst into tears.
When the villagers heard the cry, they rushed to take a look, only to see that the pregnant dragon was covered with knife wounds, the skin and flesh were rolling, and the blood was flowing all over the ground, and the death was very miserable.
Pregnant Long's brother Pregnant Tiger reported the case, and the official master led the third class of officials to come.
This official is honest and honest, loves the people like a son, is very knowledgeable, and has a good hand.
It is said that he came to office on foot, and he had nothing but a bag and clothes.
Since his arrival, he has successively solved many strange cases, asked cows, tried chickens, and sentenced stones!
The official master is discerning and judgmental like a god, and is called "Taiye" by the people of Limin.
The official personally led people to investigate the scene and examine the corpse, and he was busy.
After a while, the autopsy report came out, and the pregnant dragon died two hours ago, the clothes on his body were basically intact, and there were still ten shell coins in his pocket, but there were more than a dozen wounds on his body, all of which were cut with knives.
After reading the autopsy report, the official man analyzed: "The robbers killed people for money, and now the clothes and shell coins on the deceased are still there, so it can be seen that the robbers did not kill people." The deceased had more than a dozen stab wounds on his body, probably a vendetta. ”
He went to the wife of the dragon and asked her if her husband had any enemies during his lifetime.
The pregnant wife said: "My husband is loyal and never has enemies with others, but a few days ago the neighbor came to borrow money, we think that he usually travels around and does not do his job, and we are afraid that he will not be able to repay the money, so we did not lend him money." Pregnant Ergou was very unhappy at the time, and threatened to trouble us if he didn't borrow it, but it wasn't a big hate. ”
The official asked for the address of the pregnant Ergou's house, and sent his servants to arrest him to the official office.
This pregnant dog has a roe deer, a big mouth, and attractive ears, and he doesn't look like a good person at first glance.
But the pregnant second dog did not admit that he had killed someone, and shouted injustice, he said that although he said that he was troublesome to the pregnant dragon's family, but it was a momentary anger, and he didn't think about revenge at all.
The official man shouted: "Okay, you are a pregnant dog, because people refuse to lend you shell coins, you will retaliate and kill, do not move the punishment, you will not be punished, come on, drag it down and beat the eighty boards." ”
Then I heard the crackling of the board, and the miserable cry of the pregnant dog.
After the eighty boards were played, the official came out and said that the pregnant dog had confessed.
So, the official put him in prison temporarily, saying that he would be beheaded after the autumn.
It took less than half an hour from the case to the case, and when he and his sister-in-law saw that they had avenged the dragon, they hated it, kowtowed to the grandfather, thanked him and went home.
The people who watched the excitement praised the official for his wisdom and decisiveness, and his quick decision on the case, which deserved to be called the master.
Qijing Village also returned to its previous calm, but within two days, this small village once again became the focus of the world's attention, and the focus was still on the pregnant family.
Pregnant Dragon's brother Pregnant Tiger actually caught a strange fish and got 300 shell coins from Jiang Furen.
People say that the tiger is more blessed than his brother, and his brother lost his life in order to catch the strange fish, but the tiger got shellfish.
At this time, the official came to Qijing Village again, saying that thieves have been rampant recently, and that a village joint defense team should be established, and the common people should hand over their knives, write their own names, and use them as weapons for the joint defense team, and return them after catching the thieves. Whoever does not pay or does not pay is designated as a gang of thieves and will be strictly investigated and dealt with.
In a short time, the common people handed over nearly a hundred knives and lined them up on the ground one by one.
It was July and August, and the weather was very hot, and one knife was full of flies in a moment.
The official asked whose knife it was, and the official saw that the name was that of a pregnant tiger.
Therefore, the official lord ordered the immediate arrest of the pregnant tiger and escorted him back to the official office for interrogation.
Back at the official office, the official master was shocked and shouted: "Pregnant Tiger, how did you kill your brother, it's not as good as the truth!"
Pregnant Tiger shouted injustice vigorously and refused to admit that he was the murderer.
The official said: "As far as I know, you are usually idle, you don't know how to fish at all, you can only eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and you are angry with your father and mother, how can you catch strange fish?"
"This ...... This ......" the tiger opened his mouth and couldn't answer.
The official said: "There are no flies on other people's knives, only flies on your knives, which means that you have killed people with this knife." Although the knife is clean, but the bloody gas remains on it, can you still hide it? It must be because you saw that your brother caught a strange fish, and when you saw that you wanted to make money, you ruthlessly killed your brother and then went to receive the reward. ”
When the tiger saw that the official master was as if he had seen it with his own eyes, he no longer dared to deny it, so he could only bow his head and admit his guilt.
It turned out that when the pregnant dragon went out fishing that day, he said that he would definitely catch a strange fish today, so his wife ran to tell the pregnant tiger.
Although the pregnant dragon and the pregnant tiger are brothers, they look very different.
Pregnant dragon had a serious illness when he was young, which affected his physical development, he was short in stature, narrow shoulders, not much flesh on his body, his face was like a sun-dried sour pear, and his wife γ wanted to vomit when he saw him.
The pregnant tiger has a big shoulder, a round waist, a strong force, and a very manly style. Seeing that the little brother-in-law had not yet married and was physically strong, the wife of the pregnant dragon seduced her in every possible way, and carried her husband behind her back to make food for the little brother-in-law and make good clothes.
On a snowy night, the dragon set up a sumptuous banquet to lure the tiger to get drunk, and the two finally committed incestuous things.
Since then, the two of them have been out of control, and they slowly think that the pregnancy dragon is a bit of an eyesore, and they want to find a way to get rid of him, and the two can be a long-term husband and wife.
So as soon as she heard that the pregnant dragon could catch a strange fish, she asked the pregnant tiger to follow to see, and if she could catch a strange fish, she would kill the fish, and when the pregnant dragon was not prepared, she pushed him down the well, creating the illusion that he had accidentally drowned.
He took a sickle and followed his brother to the well, and saw that he had caught a strange fish and put it in a bucket.
He quietly stepped forward, and was about to push his brother down the well while he was unprepared, but unexpectedly, the pregnant dragon suddenly turned around and happened to see him.
As soon as the pregnant dragon saw that his brother was also coming, he said happily: "Brother, you came just in time, I caught a fish that can swallow things, you carry a bucket, let's get the reward together." ”
The pregnant tiger came to his brother's side resignedly, and while his brother was unprepared, this inhumane guy raised the knife in his hand and slashed at his brother.
In his panic, he only took away the strange fish, and did not throw his brother down the well.
Pregnant Tiger was not going to go to Jiang Furen to sell fish so soon, he wanted to wait for his brother's case to settle down for a while.
Unexpectedly, the pregnant dragon bit out a pregnant dog, and was beaten into a trick by the official master, becoming a scapegoat, and the brother's case was closed on the same day.
