Chapter Ninety-Eight: Confession 2
Complaining to the yin, also known as letting go and burning the king's complaint, is usually a method for ordinary people to turn to ghosts and gods when they have nowhere to say and have nowhere to complain.
I looked at Huang Feng puzzled, and said, "I know, what does this work have to do with the accusation?" ”
"Then have you ever heard of covering your face with your hair and stuffing your mouth with chaff?" Huang Feng didn't answer, and asked again.
"Heard!"
I nodded.
I came from a family of second leather craftsmen, and when I was a child, I liked to listen to my grandfather tell me all kinds of strange things, and later when I went to school, I didn't change this habit.
After I went to university, in my spare time, in addition to my part-time job, I spent all my free time in the library and reading all kinds of strange stories from ancient times.
Huang Feng said that covering his face with hair and stuffing his mouth with chaff originated from a public case in the Three Kingdoms era.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Zhi wrote a "Luo Shen Fu", in which a few sentences are like a frightening and graceful dragon, and until now, they are often quoted.
And this "Luo Shen Fu" is written about a beauty comparable to Diao Chan - Zhen Mi.
Zhen Mi was the concubine of Emperor Cao Pi of Wei, and gave birth to a son Cao Rui for Cao Pi, who later became Emperor Ming of Wei.
According to the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", in the process of Cao Pi's struggle for the prince of Wei, the role of a woman was very important, that is, Queen Guo.
After Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi ascended the throne as the king of Wei and named Queen Guo as his wife.
If Queen Guo wants to go to the next level, she must remove the stumbling block in front of her, Zhen Mi, the princess of Wei at that time.
For this reason, Queen Guo played a lot of tricks to make Cao Pi disgusted with Zhen Mi, and Zhen Mi often complained and complained about Cao Pi.
Then, with Cao Pi's approval, Queen Guo came forward to execute Zhen Mi's death sentence and forced Zhen Mi to commit suicide.
After Zhen Mi's death, he was buried with hair to cover his face and plug his mouth with chaff, that is, to cover his face with his hair, and his mouth was stuffed with chaff.
The purpose of this was because Queen Guo was afraid that Zhen Mi would sue in the underworld after she died, so she draped her body with long hair and stuffed her mouth with chaff, so that her soul was both unsightly and had nowhere to reason.
"This time, it's a woman who tells the shadow!" Huang Feng said, "It's just that she wasn't covered with hair and stuffed with chaff, but her mouth and eyes were sewn up with needles and threads!" ”
Speaking of this, Huang Feng paused for a moment and said, "I want you to untie the stitches on the woman's mouth and eyes!" ”
"I don't have to come to this job, Zhang Zhaoguang can do it?" I questioned.
If Huang Feng didn't lie to me, this woman is not physically disabled, just cut the stitches on her mouth and eyes, anyone can go, why choose me?
The most important thing is that just by looking at the woman's way of death, you know that the resentment on her body is extremely heavy, and once the stitches on her mouth and eyes are untied, I am afraid that she will kill people indiscriminately.
One is not good, I tend to bury myself in a pit.
"Zhang Zhaoguang can't do it!"
Huang Feng shook his head and said, "He doesn't have a yin needle, he can't suppress that female corpse, what I want you to do is to untie the stitches on her mouth and eyes, help me seal her for at least a day, and I'll deal with the rest!" ”
He was not wrong about this, the Yin Needle in my hand was refined by the blood sacrifice of three generations of our Chen family, and I am already the fourth generation.
Without the bloodline of our Chen family, if you rashly use the Yin Needle, you will be eaten by the evil qi.
In fact, don't talk about using it, even if you hold the yin needle with your hand, if one is not good, you will be attacked by evil qi.
But I'll be more curious about Huang Feng's purpose, "What exactly do you want to do?" ”
According to the agreement between us, I will not accept work that violates the law or discipline or hurts people's lives.
"Want to hear a story?" Huang Feng didn't answer this time, but asked rhetorically.
"You say!"
I'm noncommittal.
Huang Feng's eyes suddenly became confused, fell into memory, and said in a strange tone: "One day in the seventies of the last century, the daughter-in-law of Widow Zhang's family in Zhangjia Village, Binchengtong County, committed suicide in the village temple wearing a red dress and red pants. ”
Hearing this, my heart moved, the woman Huang Feng asked me to unseal should be the daughter-in-law of Widow Zhang's family.
"The news of this discovery quickly spread throughout the village!"
"Most of the rural people are superstitious, and it will be even worse in the seventies, as soon as the news spread, the people in the village began to talk about it, saying that Widow Zhang's daughter-in-law is using death to sue her, and anyone who has done something sorry for her during her lifetime will be punished!"
This statement was quickly recognized by the whole village, and the next thing that happened confirmed this point of view!
"On the first night of the suspension, Widow Zhang died!"
"When Widow Zhang was found, her body was already hard, she was kneeling on the ground, leaning against the wardrobe, facing the door, with a hemp rope hanging around her neck, and her tongue was spitting out!"
"As soon as Widow Zhang died, the village blew up, and they all began to be afraid, worried that they would be the next to die!"
At this time, an old man in the village proposed a solution, saying that she didn't sue her? We sew her eyes and mouth so that she can't see or speak, so that she can't get revenge! ”
Huang Feng said this, stopped, my interest had been aroused, and asked; "Why didn't you say it?"
What I want to know most is, what did Widow Zhang do to her daughter-in-law? And the people in the village, why are they afraid?
