Seeing that it was too late, Craftsman Liu did not report to the official immediately, but just wanted to tell Liu Xiangzi, the owner of the cow, so he walked towards the tiled house where Liu Xiangzi was staying, and was about to knock on the door, but was grabbed by someone and stretched out his hand, and whispered: Spare me, don't report the news.

I couldn't see anyone when it was dark, and Craftsman Liu listened to the voice and knew that it was Xin Taitu, so he said: Who told you to do something immoral?

I'll kneel down for you, and I won't do it again. As he spoke, Sintaitu knelt down in front of him. In the faint starlight, his silhouette could be seen. Craftsman Liu originally wanted to shout, but when he saw him pestering himself like this, he was a little embarrassed, and was about to say something, Xin Taitu knocked his head a few times like a chicken pecking rice, and said: Don't make a noise about this matter, I will give you a knife of fresh beef every day as a reward. Craftsman Liu said, this is not necessary, as long as you don't harm the farming cattle in the village, I am also worried that one day you will poison my family's cattle.

No, absolutely not. Xin Taitu stood up again and said: I promise, if I still do that immoral thing, I will be hit by five thunders. Hearing him say this, Craftsman Liu said: Forget it, I won't poke out your affairs in front of people, you just need to understand it in your heart, now that spring ploughing and production, you need to plough cattle, you poisoned the ploughing cattle, wouldn't you miss the farming time? Heaven does not allow it!

It was late at night when Craftsman Liu returned home, and he woke up the next day, and wanted to go out to work after washing, but he ran into Xin Taitu head-on, and saw that he was holding a knife of fresh beef in his hand, and it was dripping with blood. Xin Taitu walked into the house, threw the fresh beef on the kitchen board of Craftsman Liu's house and said: I didn't break my promise. Then he left without smiling, of course Craftsman Liu knew that he had to seal his mouth. Originally, I wanted to put this matter on hold, but now that the officials have come to inspect the matter, I can't say it's okay.

Sun Ming listened and asked repeatedly, is this the truth? Craftsman Liu gambled on the sky: If there is half a lie, you can connect the nine clans.

At that moment, Sun Ming led the officials to Niutoushan Village to arrest Xin Taitu. Xin Taitu was bargaining with Liu Xiangzi about the dissected buffalo, and when he was about to finalize the price, a powerful official unexpectedly threw a thick brown rope at him, tied his mouth, and followed up with a big-shouldered and thick official to help hold Xin Taitu. Xin Taitu shouted: What royal law did I violate? Do not bind me. Sun Ming looked at him forcefully: We only bind up bad people and don't tie up good people, what law have you violated, don't you know? Also loaded with garlic. Liu Xiangzi was quite surprised, he glanced at Xin Taitu, who was struggling desperately, suspiciously, and then turned his gaze to Sun Ming. Sun Ming looked at him and said: You are still in the dark, your buffalo was poisoned by Xin Taitu.

Is it true? Liu Xiangzi asked abruptly.

Don't listen to his nonsense, there is no evidence, he is lying to me. Xin Taitu, who had been tightly bound, was still writhing and quibbling.

At this time, Sun Ming motioned to Craftsman Liu, who was standing on the side all the way, to walk in front of Xin Taitu, and then asked: Do you know Craftsman Liu?

Seeing him, Cintetu was silent. He was angry in his heart, you Craftsman Liu accepted my bribe, so you should keep it secret for me, why did you report it to the official now? This account must be settled with you. Craftsman Liu also held the beef given to him by Xin Taitu in his hand, saying that he was not rare in this thing. Xin Taitu asked angrily: Why is it so rare when it is given to you? Craftsman Liu said: You want to seal my mouth, and I have no choice but to accept it.

You're all less. Sun Ming said, with a wave of his hand, he asked the official to take Xin Taitu away. I saw Liu Xiangzi come up and slap Xin Taitu hard, saying that you are a kind-hearted guy, it turns out that my buffalo was poisoned by you, and you are poisoned and want me to sell the dead cow to you at a cheap price, it's so insidious, you guy who can't die well.

Xin Taitu had no choice but to listen dryly, and he didn't tell the difference, only touched his face that was numb, and thought about how to deal with the harsh treatment of the yamen. Sure enough, Sun Ming sent him into the yamen, Hong Facai asked the reason, and ordered the thugs to beat him fifty boards, and then asked him to go to winter and this spring, Niutoushan Village rumored that all the ploughing cattle that died of plague were poisoned by him, and he really dared to nod his head and did not hide it, as if he felt more relaxed when he said it.

Why?

I want to get the most business with the least amount of money.

If you have a black conscience, you will lose what you gain. questioned Xin Taitu a few words, Hong Facai was annoyed, and then ordered the thugs to beat him with seventy boards, and when he hit fifty-two boards, he was already peeling his flesh. Liu Xiangzi and the seven or eight villagers who had killed their cattle also arrived, and they said don't beat Xin Taitu to death, he didn't die, our cattle were poisoned by him, and we can still ask him for compensation for the losses caused. When Xin Taitu heard this, he struggled to raise his head, and said with a sad face: Hong County Order, leave me this little life, as long as I have money, I will try my best to repay the losses of these villagers who died cattle. Hong Facai thought about it, this also made sense, and as soon as he wrapped his hand, he let the thug stop the stick. Xin Taitu immediately turned over and knelt down, and said to Hong Facai: Xie County's order forgiveness. Hong Facai said sharply: Imprisoned him and serve two years in prison.

Later, Xin Taitu's family took out all their savings, sold their property, and cashed out the compensation amount approved by the county government for all the villagers who were injured by poisoning their cattle, and Xin Taitu was able to reduce his sentence for half a year. However, a year after he was released from prison, because his family was too poor, he had a resurgence of bad thoughts, relapsed from his old illness, and went to a remote mountain village to poison cattle with venom. He then negotiated with the owner of the dead cow for the goods. Unexpectedly, the sky was clear just now, but in an instant, dark clouds rolled and torrential rain poured in.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck the bullpen house, shining like snow, and then a fireball rolled in, heading straight for Cintaitu's shrinking figure. At this moment, it was as if there was a magical big hand, but the shape was invisible, and it picked up the Xintaitu and threw it into an arc and threw it into the rain outside the door.

Suddenly, crackling-thump-th-clad slammed into Cintet's body, and the terrifying electric fire slammed through him like a blue locust, and in a moment, he was burned into a pile of black charcoal.

Besides, the head of the household was so shocked by the explosion that he sat on the ground, holding his head with both hands, and did not even dare to look out. When the thunder and lightning converged and the wind and rain stopped, he trembled and moved his steps from the bullpen to step out of the threshold, and his eyes widened in surprise, many villagers were looking around to see the appearance of Xin Taitu, who was killed by lightning and burned to ashes, but the appearance was completely different, and he saw two lines of twisted words on his back, but no one recognized it. Someone called a Taoist priest in a robe and a bun in a nearby Taoist temple, the Taoist priest seemed to come out of a dream, snorted a sigh, stretched his waist, and recited a scripture silently, like the buzzing sound of a bee, ordinary people could not understand, only concerned about him deciphering the book of heaven on Xin Taitu's back, he finally came over, looked at it carefully, and then raised a kick to kick over Xin Taitu's human ash heap.

Some villagers were puzzled and asked, "What are you doing here?" The Taoist priest replied to the question: Is there a dead cow nearby? The head of the household looked at him and nodded, and then said, "My cow died last night." The Taoist priest said, "The man killed by thunder is a bad man, and he poisoned your cow with venom last night." The head of the household said angrily: No wonder this guy came to me to sell him the dead cow at a low price, it turned out that he was the ghost! God has eyes, and finally a thunderbolt chopped him to death.

There was also Craftsman Liu who came to watch, and he remembered that Xin Taitu swore to the sky in front of him that if he did such a bad thing in the future, he would be burned with thunder. This proverb has been fulfilled. Craftsman Liu said to himself. When others asked him what he said, he repeated the poisonous oath that Xin Taitu had made. After hearing this, most of them sighed: It is really good that good is rewarded, and evil is rewarded.
