Pei Shien said that if a person dies, it is not easy to pursue it anymore. He also instructed the patriarch Wu to help Wu Beiping deal with the aftermath, and then led the entourage officials to leave here.

Half a month later, Pei Shien and his entourage returned and stayed at the Xinghua Village Post House. Wu Yougui saw Pei Shien's official sedan chair, so he ran to his younger brother Wu Youfu's house to tell him, saying that Governor Pei passed through our village and solved the case for your unfortunate son, and you should also thank others.

Wu Youfu was embarrassed and said, he is such a big official, how can I thank him, the courtesy is light, people can't look down on it, and our family can't take it out if the courtesy is heavy.

Wu Yougui said, alas, I said brother, you should also invite Governor Pei and his party to have a meal! Wu Youfu nodded and said okay! I please, I please. But Wu Youfu still had a problem in his heart, inviting an official as big as the governor to dinner, he always had to put a few decent dishes! It is impossible to put a few bowls of vegetarian dishes such as radish and cabbage on the table, so it is better not to be invited. But the family really didn't have the money to buy big fish and meat to make more ceremonial dishes to entertain others, and he was in trouble again.

As soon as Wu Yougui walked away, he discussed it with his wife Fennel. Unexpectedly, Fennel moved her eyes, and there was a way. She said, "What are you anxious about?" If we slaughter the cow in the house, won't we have beef? Wu Youfu said, how can you do just a bowl of beef?

Fennel smiled indifferently and told him that if the cow was killed, it would not be possible to use all the beef, and wouldn't more beef be sold for money? With money, if you buy pork and fresh fish or something, isn't everything solved? Wu Youfu praised that his wife still has a flexible brain.

On this day, Pei Shien and an entourage official walked on the side of the mountain at the north end of Xinghua Village. Wu Youfu greeted him and said, Lord Governor, my son was killed, and as soon as you investigate and handle it, you will let the case be revealed to the world. I owe you a lot of favors, and I don't care if I don't pay them back, but I do. Of course I can't afford it, but I can pick you up and your men for a meal!

Pei Shien waved his hand and said, no, no, this case was not handled neatly enough, I am very ashamed, I did not expect the suspect to commit suicide before I was promoted to the court to try the case.

Wu Youfu said politely, don't talk about other topics at the moment, our family will pick you up for the banquet tonight, and I have prepared it. Pei Shien repeated again, no, no, why bother your family? The official interjected, Lord Governor, this is the intention of the common people, you should still agree! It's not easy for your subordinates to go out with you, so I'll touch your light and go to the people's homes tonight to make a tooth sacrifice.

Pei Shien finally nodded. Wu Youfu bowed to Pei Shien, turned around and went into the forest. After a while, he led a ox out of the woods, and a calf also jumped out of the woods.

Wu Youfu saw that Pei Shien, who was walking on the side of the mountain, and an entourage official had not yet left, so he opened his voice and said flatteringly, Lord Governor, I will go to the threshing field to kill the cow, just kill this ox, the yellow beef is delicious!

Pei Shien was stunned for a moment and didn't answer, only glanced at the fat and strong ox. But the attendant said to him, "Your Excellency, the common people have specially killed cattle for the purpose of entertaining us, so let's go and see the excitement together!" Pei Shien said, don't look at it, it's too cruel. You can watch it if you want! And the attendant said, "The governor does not look, and neither do I."

A little later, they found a calf walking to the side of the mountain, and the road was covered in blood. Where did this blood come from? Pei Shien was alerted, and he followed the blood trail and finally observed that the calf was bleeding from its mouth, and it turned out that it had a sharp knife in its mouth, why did it do this?

Before Pei Shien could react, he saw a butcher with bulging eyes chasing after him. The calf ran into the woods, and he chased after it in a hurry, and Pei Shien understood what was going on, so he stopped the butcher from chasing him.

The butcher didn't want to pay attention to it, but when he looked back, the person who spoke was dressed in an official uniform, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he told the truth: Official, it's like this, Wu Youfu from Xinghua Village asked me to kill a female scalper, my knife was sharpened quickly, put it aside, and when I put down the scalper with a few guys, I reached out for the knife again, but it was gone. I told some of the men to hold the ox down, and I went to look for the knife, but I found blood on the threshing floor, and the blood came out of the calf's mouth, and I understood that the knife had been taken away by the calf, and that it was not for me to kill its mother, the cow.

Pei Shien said with a stern face, then you won't kill the female scalper, the calf is a beast, and they all know the mother who protects it, it would rather bleed in its mouth, and hide the knife, this filial piety touches the heavens and the earth, we are human beings, and we should be moved by its filial piety. I advise you not to chase the calf, and not to snatch the knife from the calf's mouth. You should learn from the calf and follow its filial piety of hiding the knife to save the mother.

The butcher said a little unhappily, "Official, I was invited to slaughter a cow, and now you tell me not to slaughter a cow, you have to tell the owner to say yes, and the owner called Wu Youfu to wait for me to take a knife on the threshing field and kill the ox." Besides, Wu Youfu gave me all the wages for slaughtering the cow in advance, and I don't want to return it to him, and you stop me from killing the cow, what do you think I should do?

Pei Shien sneered, easy to do. How much wages do you pay Wu Youfu, how much wages do I pay you, okay?

The butcher slapped the robe around his waist, and there was a metallic sound from inside. He said, "All right!" Wu Youfu gave 10 hanging wages. Pei Shien motioned to the attendant official standing aside and took out 10 copper coins for him. The butcher put the coin into his coat, took a few steps, and then turned to say that it was not enough. My knife, which was taken away by the calf, is worth 8 copper coins, and it should be given to me.

The attendant replied, it's not a new knife, I don't know how long you've used it, and it's still worth 8 copper coins? The butcher said, although it is not a new knife, but the more you use it, the faster it is used, and it is said to be worth more than 8 yuan, and I haven't shouted a high price yet? Pei Shien said generously, give him 8 hanging money!

The butcher got the money, and returned to the threshing floor with joy, and the bull that had fallen down was still being held down by some of the men. Wu Youfu was also among them, and when he saw that the butcher didn't have a knife in his hand, he asked, "Alas, what's the matter, aren't you going to kill scalpers?" And the butcher said, "Don't kill it." He took out 10 copper coins from the cloth that was tied around his waist, and threw them on the threshing floor, saying, "Rich, give it back to you." Then he slapped his ass and left.

At this time, Pei Shien came over, and when he saw a few guys still pressing the scalper who was mooing but couldn't move, he said to Wu Youfu, you let this scalper live! I don't need you to kill the cow and feast me, I can't afford it. Wu Youfu then signaled everyone to let go and loosen the tie.

The scalper turned over, frightened and about to run away, but Wu Youfu grabbed the rope strung in his nostrils, and he yelled at the ox, brute, if you don't kill you, what else will you escape?

At this moment, I rushed to the threshing field to see that the lively door gods and family gods were discussing this matter. The door god said that the calf is more filial than human, and in order to save its mother cow, he quietly put aside the butcher's sharpened knife and took away, regardless of the fact that he was cut by the tip of the knife and the tip of his tongue was bleeding, so touching!

The family god smiled, isn't it just touching? And touched God, you see. He raised his hand and pointed to the side of the house, and saw a mountain god in ancient costume archiving in the direction of the calf's escape. The door god asked, what does it mean that the mountain god gives his hand? The god of the house said, you will know it when you listen to the god of the mountain. The door god was silent, and sure enough, he heard the mountain god speak:

Although the calf is small and filial, it is boastful of touching the heavens and the earth;

In this life, he will accumulate merit for animals, and he will no longer be cattle and horses in the next life.

Suddenly, a god and monster covered in hair and with a human-like face came out, gave a thumbs up and said, You speak well, this calf can be reincarnated as a human next time with this good deed, and no longer be a cow or horse. I'll play a good deed excerpt for him and give it to the Wheel King. After speaking, he flashed. The door god stared at the family god and asked, who is that god?

Oh, you don't even know the famous god of animals? What a frog at the bottom of the well!

I guard the door every day to communicate with the outside world, which is better than you being the agent god of this family, knowing everything.

When the family god saw the door god say this, he laughed. He said that it is certainly commendable for calves to have this filial piety, but there is actually a reason. The door god asked, what is the reason? The family god took out a mirror from his pocket, pinched the button on it, and presented a group of pictures in a comic strip. And he said, "Door God, you see, this is what happened many generations ago."
