It has been two months since the end of the ghost case in the painting, the murderer Lu Dayou was sentenced to death, he also confessed in prison that he was not a friend of the deceased, just two thieves who committed the crime together, the deceased's money was obtained from selling some antiquities of unknown origin, and these antiquities were sold by two people, since Wang Yiming was released from prison, the relationship between the two has lasted for several years, and the person who supplied the two asked them not to sell locally, but to go to other places every time, and the money from the sale was also more than half of the two and then divided equally, And every time there is goods to sell, Lu Dayou is the upper line to ask the deceased out, Lu Dayou is very low-key, he covers himself as a farmer, but the deceased Wang Yiming ran to build a house and marry a wife with great fanfare, Lu Dayou has more than once advised Wang Yiming to act low-key, otherwise it is easy to be discovered by the yamen, and Wang Yiming did not listen, and when the deceased sold antiquities with Lu Dayou for the last time, he said that he had a family and children, so he didn't want to do this business anymore, and he planned to take the money to engage in calligraphy and painting business. And also said that he wanted to wash his white after building a house and marrying his daughter-in-law, but he couldn't think of anything at first, and then he did that business because his wife liked calligraphy and painting, but Lu Dayou didn't want to wash his name, he was worried that Wang Yiming would be easy to expose his own things after whitewashing, so he chose to take a risk and kill him. At that time, the two of them each took a knife and cut their fingers and drank blood wine, and the knife of the deceased Wang Yiming was the one that fell in the ghost house, and the painting hanging in the ghost house was also painted by Lu Dayou for Wang Yiming, which meant that Wang Yiming died at the hands of the ghost in the calligraphy and painting, that is, in the hands of the ghost he pretended. Five days before the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info case, Lu Dayou took away the painting that was originally hung on the main seat, and hung his own painting, and wrote to Wang Yiming to ask him to go to the ghost house five days later, and wait for him in the hall, Wang Yiming was worried that Lu Dayou would harm himself so he took a knife that he had sworn to go, and then the later case happened, and then Lu Dayou heard the rumor that the wine shop lady was crazy the next day, so he wanted to go and transport Wang Yiming's body in a sack, and the reason why he didn't take the knife was because he wanted to use the knife that Wang Yiming swore to divide his body, which means that you betrayed you and deserved to be divided by the knife you swore to。 In this case, in addition to Chen Jinbao and Yigan Arrest were rewarded quickly, several witnesses were also rewarded differently, especially the wine shop lady, Liu Song was hired by the county master as the master (the county lord's private secretary, not an official position, as long as the county lord has money, please have a few) But the corrupt Confucian scholar said that he would come to the county government as the master when he came back from his study tour, and the family of the deceased was raided because the deceased's money was not clean, and the deceased's wife and children were merciful to the county lord when they raided the house and left a sum of money for them to let the mother and son return to their hometown. The reason why Wang Fugui didn't come in time at that time was because when searching Lu Dayou's luggage, Wang Fugui found that Lu Dayou had sewn a large number of silver tickets with a piece of cloth in a quilt that had been sewn many times, so he went to investigate the origin of these silver tickets, and it was precisely because he found the silver tickets that Lu Dayou explained more quickly in prison.

The case was solved, and Chen Jinbao's days also returned to his daily routine, going to the yamen on time every day, going home to sleep on time, and sometimes going around the street with the catchers, but today he didn't have to take the catchers to patrol the streets, sitting alone in the yamen and doing nothing.

Suddenly, there was a voice of ascending to the hall, Chen Jinbao came in spirit, maybe it was a murder, even if it was not a murder, you could go and see the excitement, at least there was something to do now. He hurriedly ran to the back of the public hall to see, there were two men kneeling under the public hall, one was dressed in fancy clothes and was clean and tidy, and this person Chen Jinbao also knew, that is, the shopkeeper of the East Street Teahouse, and the other had a wound on his face and was covered with mud.

Chen Jinbao thought to himself, it should be this injured person who beat the drum of injustice, and the complaint should have been beaten by the shopkeeper of the teahouse.

"Smack!"

The county magistrate went down in shock and asked, "Who is the person under the hall?" What are the grievances? ”

The shopkeeper of the teahouse knocked on the ground and said: "My lord, the villain is the shopkeeper of the teahouse on East Street, named Sun Wang, and the villain has grievances!" ”

Chen Jinbao was stunned when he heard this, and the county magistrate also looked at the two of them with a puzzled look on his beard.

"Smack!"

Another shocked voice went down and asked, "Are you the one who has a grievance?" If you have any grievances, come quickly. ”

The shopkeeper of the teahouse said with a crying voice: "My lord, the villain's mother just passed away a few days ago, and the villain buried his mother yesterday, who knew that this morning, this bastard ran to dig the grave of the villain's mother, fortunately, a woodcutter came to tell the villain about this, the villain quickly found some housekeepers to go to his mother's grave, and found that the bastard was still digging, and the villain ordered a few housekeepers to pull him away, but he also waved his hand to hit the villain's housekeeper, and the villain asked the housekeeper to beat him, and then let him go, After the villain repaired his mother's grave, he turned around and walked a short distance, and the bastard ran back to dig, and the villain had no choice but to send him to the yamen, please see it! ”

"Smack!"

The county magistrate went down again and asked, "Who is the other person in the hall?" Is what Sun Wang said true? ”

The injured man was expressionless, kowtowed lightly and said, "My lord, the villain is named Yang Ming, the cook of the Zhou Family Tavern in Dongcheng, and what the shopkeeper said is indeed true." ”

"Smack!"

Another shocking sound went down, and the county magistrate said: "Boldly Diao the people, dare to dig people's graves in broad daylight, come here!" Beat this person to thirty boards! ”

"Yes!"

As soon as the two officials responded, before the county master's token was dropped, Yang Ming slammed his head on the ground and shouted, "My lord! The villain also has grievances, and the shopkeeper's mother is not buried in his mother's grave, but the villain's wife! ”

As soon as these words came out, the county magistrate was stunned, several officials were also stunned, and even Chen Jinbao, who was standing behind the court, was stunned.

After a while, the county magistrate who came back to his senses was shocked and shot again.

"Smack!"

"Do you have a certificate for saying this?" The county magistrate asked.

Before Yang Ming could say anything as soon as he wanted to answer, the shopkeeper Sun slammed on the ground and shouted, "My lord! He is pure nonsense, how can there be his wife in the tomb of the villain's mother, he is wronging the villain, please be aware of it! ”

Yang Ming heard what the shopkeeper said, his face was still expressionless, he wiped the blood on his face and continued: "My lord, the villain implores the adult to open the coffin for an autopsy, if the villain is talking nonsense, the adult has nothing to say even if he kills the villain, if what the villain said is true, then please treat the shopkeeper's sin." ”

The county magistrate stroked his beard and looked at Yang Ming, listening to his words in a very earnest tone, it really didn't look like he was lying.

"Yang Ming, this official asks you, you said that your lady is in the tomb of the shopkeeper's mother, do you have a certificate?" The county magistrate asked.

Yang Ming was still expressionless, and said: "My lord, the villain has no evidence that can be seen and touched, the villain's lady disappeared early in the morning, and it has been two days now, the night before her disappearance, the villain had a dream, and dreamed that an old woman took the villain's lady away, and this old woman and villain have also seen it twice, it is the old mother of the shopkeeper, and also dreamed that the old woman brought the villain's lady into the coffin, and the shopkeeper closed the coffin door. At that time, the villain woke up suddenly, and found that it was already morning, when the villain's lady was gone, and the villain searched for two days in the county and couldn't find it, so he thought of the dream, and the villain also thought that it was just a dream that should not come true, but after looking for so long, he couldn't find it, and he thought that maybe what he saw in the dream was actually true, so the villain ran to dig the grave of the shopkeeper's mother today, and wanted to confirm whether the villain's idea was right. Adult, the relationship between the villain and the lady has always been very good, so the villain believes that the lady gave the villain a dream, please allow the adult to open the coffin for autopsy, if there is no lady in the coffin, the villain is willing to pay for the shopkeeper with his life, let the shopkeeper take the villain's head to pay tribute to the mother, if the villain's lady is in the coffin, please treat the shopkeeper's sin! ”

When the shopkeeper Sun heard this, his tears were about to fall, and he slammed his head on the ground and said: "My lord, it is really against humanity for my mother to dig it out just after I entered the soil, please be aware of it, what this person said is that the lady is purely a dream in the tomb of the villain's mother, there is no evidence at all, please treat this bastard's sin!" ”

"Smack!"

A startled voice went down again, and the county master said: "Okay, the official has his own judgment on this point, so there is no need to wait for more." ”

Although the county magistrate said so, he didn't know who to believe now, a pure dream to say that his wife was in someone else's tomb, it was really sensational, but this person seemed to be sincere, not like he was talking nonsense, but just for his so-called dream, he had to open someone's coffin.......

The county master also fell into deep thought, not knowing how to judge, and then the shopkeeper said: "My lord, the villain's mother has been dead for seven days, and the villain sent the old mother into the soil after keeping filial piety for the old mother, what is this person talking about The wife disappeared for two days, and the old mother took her away and closed the coffin door The villain is pure nonsense, could it be that the villain's mother deceived the corpse and ran to drag his wife away?" ”

The shopkeeper's words seemed to remind the county master, and at the same time reminded Chen Jinbao, deceitful corpse? Folklore has several sayings, people come back to life after death, and then find someone to ask for their lives or can't speak has always been the expression of a dead person walking around, in addition to these two there are many, but this thing seems to be exaggerated, some deaths are just the so-called fake death, just like a drowning person, being fished up and obviously not angry, but after a while coughed a few mouthfuls of water and came out and lived, this kind of thing I have seen in the yamen for so many years, but this time the so-called dead man is alive again and looking for someone to ask for his life is the first time I have seen it, And it's what I saw in my dream. Although it is not ruled out that this person named Yang Ming is talking nonsense, but looking at his eyes, the expression seems to be real.

"Smack!"

This shocking sound startled Chen Jinbao, who was thinking.

"Your certificate is just a dream, and I don't know if it's true or not, so how can it be used as a certificate?" The county magistrate asked.

Yang Ming smashed directly to the ground this time, his voice was very crisp, and said, "My lord! The villain said that if the villain is indeed nonsense, the villain is willing to pay his life to the shopkeeper to pay tribute to the spirit of the shopkeeper's mother in the sky! ”

The county magistrate looked at Yang Ming with his beard twisted, his eyes were very firm, and he couldn't laugh at all when this thing seemed to be a joke came out of his mouth.

The county magistrate stroked his beard and thought about it, and finally took a shocking shot.

"Smack!"

"Yang Ming, this official believes you this time, if you talk nonsense, this official doesn't want your life, this official asks you to compensate Sun Wang for one hundred taels of silver, if you can't come up with the money, then it depends on how the shopkeeper handles it, whether you want to sell yourself as a slave or let you pay it back little by little, it is up to Sun Wang to decide!"

Yang Ming slammed his head on the ground and said, "Lord Xie, the villain obeys the orders of the adults." ”

The county magistrate asked the shopkeeper again: "Sun Wang, what do you think?" ”

The shopkeeper thought about it with a sad face, and said helplessly: "Then follow the orders of the adults." ”

After speaking, the county master sent someone to find Chen Jinbao, and asked Chen Jinbao to bring more than a dozen catchers to go with him, this time even the county master wanted to see if there was really such a strange thing.

After everyone was found, the county lord sat in a sedan chair, accompanied by more than a dozen people with shovels and hoes in addition to Yang Ming and Sun Wang, and went to the grave of the shopkeeper's mother outside Dongcheng.

"Master, what's going on again?" Wang Fugui asked Chen Jinbao with a puzzled expression.

Chen Jinbao told him all about the matter, and the expression on Wang Fugui's face became even more puzzled after hearing this, and then asked, "Master, do you think this matter is credible?" ”

Chen Jinbao shook his head and said, "It's not credible at all, but this person is very true, and it's hard for you not to believe it." ”

Wang Fugui bit his thumb, and then asked: "Master, if you really find that this person's daughter-in-law is in the coffin, if she is alive, then it will be easy to do, just ask directly, if she is dead........

Chen Jinbao touched his chin, and then said: "If you die, you can't suspect any fraud first, you have to suspect this husband first." ”

Wang Fugui nodded, and then said: "But master, there is one thing that is very strange, if this husband really killed his own daughter-in-law and hid it in the coffin, it will definitely not be discovered, why do you have to dig it out?" ”

Chen Jinbao touched his chin again, and then said: "Maybe it's some reason for being inside, only when you see the corpse you know." Besides, it is not yet possible to confirm whether the person is in the coffin or whether the person is still alive, and it is too early to think that the person died in the coffin. ”

Wang Fugui nodded and stopped speaking.

After a while, the group arrived at the place. This place is the most prosperous outside the county, it seems that the scenery of this place is very good, it is a treasure of feng shui, and the mother of the shopkeeper is buried on a hillside here.

"Dig up."

The county master gave an order, and more than a dozen catchers began to dig up, Yang Ming was still expressionless, while the shopkeeper Sun had a sad face, his hands folded and his mouth kept chanting something.

After a while, the coffin was dug up, and when the coffin was opened, it was found that there were two bodies stacked on top of each other, the upper body was a young woman, and the lower body was an old lady.
