Chapter 175: The Love of People and Ghosts is Not Over
"I knew that my son would never buy arsenic for me to drink, he was so good! Of course, I am wholeheartedly good to my son, even if I have a younger son with you, I am still as good as ever to my eldest son. Xi Zili said.
"I know, husband, you have suffered, you can go in peace, just explain to the king of Hades that it is arsenic. Don't come out and scare your wife again. Good no good? ”
"Wait, you said the arsenic poisoned me, so, where did you get the arsenic?" Xi Zili asked.
"Husband, don't hide it, I asked for it from a second-rate son in the front yard."
"Second-rate? Why did you ask him for it? ”
"He didn't do his job, he stole chickens and dogs, and I asked him where he got the arsenic? He smiled but didn't answer, and said, don't care, just use it, and ensure that the goods are genuine. ”
"Did you give him the money?"
"Nope."
"Why not?"
"He doesn't want money, as long as I sleep with him."
"Did you accompany you?"
"Of course, there is nothing to lose, and you can save money. Wouldn't it be cost-effective? ”
"Alright! Anyway, I'm a dead man now, and I can't control so many people, it turns out that you still cuckold me, it seems, you are really good! Xi Zili said.
"Husband, if you die, I have to find a good family first, and it won't affect me if you die, as soon as you die, I will remarry, and if you have money, I'm not afraid of not finding a good person." Second-rate, I'm just taking advantage of it, I still have a game of chess, and I'll wait until the end to play. You can rest assured, the son born to me and my husband is my husband's seed, this is not adulterated, there is no moisture, because my husband married me, I am still a virgin, and later, it changed. You can leave with confidence, we will use all the property you left behind. If it's not enough, I'll find another way. Some people take a fancy to me and want to take advantage, but there is no way, there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, so I have to strictly control it, what is useful to me is OK, and if it is useless, I will sweep it out as garbage. Xi Dou said.
"Understand, I'm dead, whatever you do, now I'm just here to complete the task, otherwise the king of Hades won't accept it, I still have to come back to you, I think you can't do the good things you want, I'm afraid you can't do it, even if you do, as soon as I appear, I guess your new man can't stand it, the timid ran away early, and the bold ones are scared, I'm afraid you will be accounted for in the second half of your life." If you want to fulfill you, you must first fulfill me, and when I leave, you will live in peace, and I will not come back to trouble you. Do you think so? Xi Zili said.
"I know, you can rest assured, the medicine was bought by Xi Xiadong, he went to the best pharmacy in the city to buy the best medicine, everyone knows this, after coming back, it was he who boiled the medicine himself, and then I took him away, and he went to farm, I put the arsenic prepared in advance into the decoction, stir well, and then serve it to you to drink, you are about to die, and you can't tell whether there is poison or not, as long as it is medicine, drink it, because you want to live, only medicine can make you live, you will starve and eat, drink the medicine, and then die, bleeding from the seven orificesThen the second-rate son who was waiting outside came in, and when he saw that you were dead, he went to report to the official, because your bones are not cold, he can't do that with me, and when you are ready for your future, I will do those unfortunate things with him. Then I asked people to go to the field and call Xi Xiadong to come back, I grabbed him by the collar and said that he poisoned you, the purpose is to put him in prison, so that I can divide your family property, and then bring my parents to live with me, these family properties are all our Dou family, and your son will also change his name and surname Dou. No longer surnamed Xi, your Xi family ends here, and from now on it is the world of my Dou family. Xi Dou said.
"Your heart is so ruthless! It turns out that the most poisonous woman's heart, this sentence is true! Forget it, our husband and wife relationship has ended, it's not that the love is over, it's the grace that breaks off, you take your Yangguan Road, and I take my single-plank bridge. Since then, yin and yang have been separated from each other and have not disturbed each other. Fortunately, I am already dead, there is no more pain, no more suffering, no longer the torture of disease, and no longer Xi Xiadong's concern, you can let him live well, your wishful thinking may be able to fight well, or may not be good. As for me, I'm going to register with the king of Hades, what about you, go home by yourself, don't worry, I've dealt with this new ghost, they all know, and they won't embarrass you anymore. You can go with confidence! After Xi Zili finished speaking, he immediately disappeared.
Xi Dou rubbed his eyes, looked carefully, and looked around blankly, only the moon passed through the clouds, and the owl was crying mournfully, which was creepy. She didn't have time to think about it, so she took three steps and two steps, quickly left the new cemetery, and trotted briskly in the direction of home.
When she got home, she patted her face, pinched the person, and knew that it hurt, indicating that it was not a dream, but a real ghost!
She was even more scared!
Her husband had forgiven her, but Hades might not necessarily forgive, and it wasn't something the new ghost could decide. Perhaps, if Lord Yama fights unevenly, he will punish her! The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, and I didn't dare to go out for three days in a row, and I didn't dare to go to the toilet at night, for fear of running into a ghost again.
Three days later, she came to the door and said that the county order had invited her to go to the court.
When Xi Dou saw Tang Lu, he quickly knelt down, he was used to being afraid of officials, the more he was afraid, the more he could reassure the officials, and he was very timid and cowardly, so as not to make the officials disgusted, because many people were out of the mud and not stained.
"Xi Dou, did you stumble into a ghost three days ago?" Tang Lu asked suddenly.
"Ahh Sir, indeed, how did Sir. know? Xi Dou asked in surprise.
In order to convince him, Tang Lu said more details.
When Xi Dou heard this, he panicked, and immediately deflated, he originally wanted to get away with it, people don't know, ghosts don't know, God knows, no one knows, and second-rate people can also be dew couples, just use it, and throw it away like waste paper. His biggest interest is still to have money and not be afraid of no man, to find a son-in-law who is inverted, and his second parents also have a place to settle down.
In this way, a sweet dream of yellow sorghum was lost in the hands of Tang Lu.
What is puzzling is how Tang Lu knows so much, it is simply a god, either he is in a group with the king of Hades, or he has dealings with ghosts, this county order is extraordinary. It makes people look sideways, and they dare not face it, fearing that once they face it, their souls may be hooked away.
"Don't guess, your husband Xi Zili is dead. The second-rate son has also been captured, do you want to see it? What you bumped into in the graveyard that night wasn't a real ghost, it was a fake. Do you understand this time? Tang Lu said.
"Understood, my lord, there was a hell of an event arranged. Don't blame the adults, blame yourself for being clumsy. The adult already knows the truth, so he begs for mercy, the folk girl regrets it, he shouldn't commit a crime, this sin is not small, it causes a family tragedy, it is the folk girl who is confused and obsessed with money for a while, thinking that her husband Xi Zili is terminally ill, there is no good hope, and then see a doctor, the family property will be spent, he is sick, and he can't decide anything, seeing that Xi Xiadong's boss is not small, and he is not married yet, because everyone has to look at the family background, Xi Zili is not good, and the woman also has concerns, and then look at the youngest son of the folk girl, who is still young, if you want to become an adult, it will take time, Seeing that you can't make ends meet, you can't do it without taking measures. took a risk, let Xi Xiadong buy medicine, and then boil the medicine, cover people's eyes and ears, borrow a knife to kill, and wait for all this to be done, and then let him go out to the field, and then the people's daughter poisoned again, killing her husband Xi Zili, the advantage of this is that there is no need to spend money on treatment, knowing that this is a bad disease, no matter how much money is spent, it will not help, in addition, get rid of Xi Xiadong, let him go to prison or even sentence him to death, then, these family properties will fall into the hands of the people's daughter, because there is a son between the people's daughter and Xi Zili. If the property falls into the hands of the people's daughter, or in the hands of the people's daughter's son, it belongs to the people's daughter. Isn't that a good thing? Who knows that people are not as good as heaven, and the agency is too smart, and as a result, it hurt Qingqing's life, it really shouldn't be, my lord, pity the poor people's daughter, the people's daughter has died of her husband, the child is young, and there is no one to support her, I implore the adults to bypass the people's lives, and the people's daughters must change their ways, work hard to do good, do good deeds, and help more people. Xi Dou said.
After saying that, he actually cried loudly.
Tang Lu said: "The law of the country is intolerable, killing people to pay for their lives, and repaying debts, this is basic common sense, no matter how much you know, no matter how smart you are, you can't escape common sense, if you kill someone, you should die, what else is there to say." If you don't die, everyone in the world will be terrified, and everyone can kill their husbands without being held responsible. If you don't die, the world will be uneasy, and if you die, the world will have justice. ”
"My lord, if the people's daughter is sentenced to death, can you bury the people's daughter next to the people's husband?"
"No, you are greedy for money, and your murderous intentions are too heavy, if you are with Xi Zili, Xi Zili will be uneasy, in addition, you hook up with a second-rate son and commit adultery, and you despise yourself, that is, you are self-inflicted, and you should be executed by Ling Chi. Your body cannot be buried in the ancestral grave of the Xi family. They can only be fed to wild dogs, buried in the dog's belly, turned into dog shit, and everywhere. Tang Lu said.
"My lord, the folk girl knows that she is wrong, and she asks the adult to open the net, let the folk girl go, and let the folk girl repay the adult as a cow and a horse." Xi Dou said.
"It's useless, just because of your thoughts, you ended up being executed. If it's not yours, don't force it, it's yours, and no one else can take it away. Tang Lu said.
"Your Excellency!"
"Drag it off!"
Tang Lu commanded, and all the officials shouted and sent Xi Dou to death row and wait for execution.
Besides, Xi Xiadong was acquitted by Tang Lu, so that he could raise his young brother as an adult, and the county government paid a fee to Xi Xiadong as compensation. Xi Xiadong is grateful, this has never been seen in the history of Gucheng County, since ancient times, the people have paid taxes to the county government, and they have never received money from the county government.
The case was closed, and Tang Lu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The case is finally closed, and when the file is sorted out and reported to the court, it is ready to be executed after the autumn, and how many more are to be executed, take a look." ”
The master went to get a bunch of case files, and Tang Lu flipped through it and found a monk murder case.
This is strange! Monks don't eat well and fast and recite Buddha, why do they break their vows and kill people? What kind of monk is this?
Tang Lu decided to interrogate the monk.
"What's your name?" Tang Lu asked, a monk, dressed in rags and wearing shackles, is a felon, on death row, strictly controlled, and cannot be sloppy.
"The poor monk is called Yunxin. Because of hooking up with a married woman, a man named Xi Li, lured it out, after killing, thrown into a dry well, when throwing Xi Li, accidentally, brought himself into the well, was discovered, rescued the poor monk, saw the poor monk has blood on his body, and saw that there was a person in the well, he suspected the poor monk, said that the poor monk was a murderer, so he reported to Baozheng, twisted and sent the poor monk to the county office, at that time the trial of the case was not an adult, the poor monk was the first time to see the adult. The above situation has been explained, please check it clearly. Monk Yunxin said.
When Tang Lu heard this, he had a question in his heart and said, "Yunxin, when did you arrive in Gucheng?" ”
"Lord Qiqi, the poor monk arrived in Gucheng on the ninth day of July."
"Where did it come from?"
"Rush over from the Iron Buddha Temple in Xiangyang."
"What are you doing here?"
"Come and visit Qingyuan, the abbot of Cheng'en Temple."
"When did the crime happen?"
"July 10th."
"When was the sentence sentenced?"
"July 15th."
"Then from the day you arrived in Gucheng, it will only take six days to be sentenced, saying that you hooked up with Xi Li's family, it seems that it is too late, how can you hook up with the people's girls quickly? How did he kill the people's daughter? Why did you kill the folk girl and jump into the dry well together? Tang Lu asked.
"This, this, this ......" Yun Xin couldn't say. He looked left and right, beads of sweat on his forehead and nose.
"Then, the official asks you again, how did you kill people? What tools are used? What kind of knife is used? Tang Lu asked.
"The poor monk doesn't know the name of a knife, only a knife."
"Then the official reminds me, is it a ghost head knife?"
"Yes, the poor monk remembered that it was the ghost head knife, a very powerful knife, which looked terrifying, like a ghost! The poor monk remembers that it was this knife. Yun Xin said.
"Hahaha, hahaha!" Tang Lu laughed.
Yun Xin looked at Tang Lu with a confused expression.
"Hahaha, you can be so funny! Do you know what a ghost head knife is? Tang Lu asked.
"It's the head of the knife like the head of a ghost, isn't it?" Yun Xin replied.
"The ghost head knife is a professional knife used by the executioner, ordinary people don't have it, only the executioner has it, you are a monk of the wandering side, what are you doing walking with the ghost head knife used by the executioner? Is it going to kill the condemned prisoner? ”
"Oh, I see! The poor monk has seen it. Thank you for your advice. Yun Xin said.
"To tell you the truth, Yun Xin, this official doesn't want to kill a good person by mistake, he is looking at all the case files of death row prisoners, and finds that there is a problem with your materials, so he interrogated you, you have to be clear, you are lucky, if you change someone, you may not have a chance to speak, this arraignment, see your grievances, you might as well tell the truth, even if you are sentenced to death, you must die to understand. If you find that sin does not lead to death, it will not let you die, and you can still live, wander all over the world, live your monastic life, wander around like a cloud, and be free. Don't hide it, but tell the ruler what you know, and the ruler will avenge you. Tang Lu said.
