Liu Fengying's Hu Ji Inn in Sanghe Town is a place where people from all walks of life gather in three religions and nine streams. She is also accustomed to seeing the customs and customs of the north and the south, and is used to all kinds of tricks on the rivers and lakes. And the grocery store she runs is the window of clothing, food, housing and transportation in the bottom society, allowing her to see all kinds of human nature.

Among the merchants who come and go to the hotel, there are some people who are greedy for the beauty and beauty of the proprietress Liu Fengying. They often look for opportunities to approach her, or flirt, or seduce with money. knew that Liu Fengying's husband was a useless second-rate son, so he deliberately took the opportunity to tease and take advantage. Liu Fengying is never moved, it can be said that she is out of the mud but not stained, and she is clear and rippled but not demonic. Liu Fengying found that Cai Mingfeng was loyal and different from other guests, and she had always been polite and polite to her, without the slightest thought of non-judgment, let alone the slightest act of being polite.

After living in the hotel for a long time, the two became familiar with each other. During the chat, Liu Fengying learned from Cai Mingfeng that he lived alone, with no parents, brothers, or children. Liu Fengying, who has endured her husband's beating and scolding for many years and is full of resentment, can't help but feel feelings for the gentle and well-informed handsome man in front of her. But I didn't know that Cai Mingfeng left home because of discord with his wife, and he concealed the matter of marrying a wife, because he had been snubbed by his wife for a long time, and he really didn't want to mention to outsiders that he already had a wife.

When Cai Mingfeng was in a difficult situation, he had to meet Liu Fengying to help him and was grateful. The two admired each other, and after a long time, they naturally formed a private relationship. As the saying goes, there is no such thing as an impermeable wall. I don't know how this matter reached the ears of Liu Fengying's husband, who eats, drinks, prostitutes, and gambles all day long.

One evening, Cai Mingfeng came back from doing business outside and was chatting about what he saw outside in Liu Fengying's store. Liu Fengying's husband lost the money, ran to the store and reached out to her to ask for money and then go to the capital. Liu Fengying refused, and persuaded her husband: "You fight cocks and lackeys all day long, either gambling or prostitution, let me raise you as a woman, and let me pay off your gambling debts and prostitution debts, is there a man like you in the world?" ”

Liu Fengying's husband saw that she dared to count herself, so she raised her foot and kicked Liu Fengying: "You stinky woman, you dare to scold your husband, are you raising a little white face?" Cai Mingfeng saw that the situation was not good, so he stopped in front and took a solid kick for Liu Fengying.

Liu Fengying's husband scolded angrily: "Where did your little white face come from, you won't be the little white face she raised, right?" No, you dare to take care of Lao Tzu's family affairs? It seems that the words of the legend outside are true, you are the little white face she raised? Honestly, did you hook up with her? If you don't say it, I'm going to break your leg today. ”

Liu Fengying was afraid that her husband's indiscriminate noise would cause more incidents, so she threatened her husband and said: "If you dare to mess around like this again, I don't want to live anymore, I will burn down this grocery store now!" You're going to come to me for trouble anyway, and it's not interesting for me to live, so let's die together. It saves you from having nothing to do everywhere, and it is not embarrassing for people to live in peace. ”

Her husband, who was acting outside mischiefly, was dumbfounded when he heard this, he knew that he and his family all depended on the inn and grocery store run by Liu Fengying, if Liu Fengying was really forced to be in a hurry, this old lady was not easy to mess with, and she would definitely be able to do what she said.

When he thought of this, his tone finally softened: "You old lady is really unruly, don't blame me for being ruthless." I don't care about you in the future, and you don't care about me. Hurry up and give me the money, so that I don't have to be sick to watch you here. While talking to himself, he stared at Liu Fengying unwillingly: "Do you give it or not?" ”

Liu Fengying thought for a while, took out a dozen taels of silver from the cabinet and threw them on the ground, and said with something to say: "Although the surname of this shop is Hu, I am supporting it alone." Business is not good these days, and it is not easy to make money. You are a man who can do it for himself, and I will give you the money you give you every month, and not a penny will be less. You don't have to expect too much, the family has to eat and drink, you are such a loser, sooner or later you will sit and eat empty. ”

Liu Fengying's husband picked up the silver, glared at Cai Mingfeng fiercely, and slammed the door scolding. Cai Mingfeng looked at Liu Fengying and said worriedly, "Did he know about the two of us?" How is this good? ”

Liu Fengying snorted as if nothing was going to happen, "What's the matter?" It's okay as usual, what's there to be afraid of? I'm not afraid of a woman, what are you afraid of as a man? It doesn't matter if he knows it or not, is he my husband? Where do you think he looks like a husband? Where is he worthy to be a man? Such a man is not worthy of a wife. I just want to be nice to you, he doesn't care. ”

There are many men who are thinking about Liu Fengying in their hearts, and the two have been in love for a long time, and someone will always find clues. In the face of rumors, Liu Fengying did not waver. Cai Mingfeng is often ashamed, after all, he is a married man, Liu Fengying is also a married woman, he regrets that he did not tell Liu Fengying the truth at the beginning, and now if he says it, he is afraid of hurting Liu Fengying's heart, therefore, in this contradictory psychology, how many times did he want to tell the truth, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it back.

As the days passed, Cai Mingfeng, who was in a dilemma, suddenly received a letter from his father-in-law, Zhu Maoqing, asking him to go home no matter what. Thinking that it had been three years since he had left home, whether he wanted it or not, there was no reason why he should not return. Liu Fengying saw that his mood was obviously different from usual, and after interrogation, Cai Mingfeng finally had to tell the truth that he was a married man.

Cai Mingfeng said ashamedly: "I didn't mean to lie to you, it was really out of helplessness." I had no intention of going back when I ran away from home, and now that they know my whereabouts and situation, it is impossible not to go back. At that moment, Liu Fengying suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and her whole body was numb.

The impression that the two have loved each other for several years has emerged one by one. Liu Fengying thought to herself: The person in front of her is the lover she has been in love with for three years, and she can't be scolded or reluctant! She can leave behind her hard-earned family business, she can leave her ruthless and unrighteous husband behind, she can ignore her status and status, and she can also bear the ridicule and abuse of the world, but she is unwilling to give up her true love like this.

Cai Mingfeng is a shrewd businessman and a cowardly man. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have gone out to do business to avoid the in his family. Looking at the woman in front of him who is affectionate and righteous to him, and who is kind to him, thinking of the hot and cold wife behind him, what choice can he make?

If he doesn't leave, he won't be able to stay in this town any longer, and his father-in-law may come to him soon. Where can he go? He loves Liu Fengying out of sincerity, but he can't bear the infamy caused by abandoning his wife, and he is even more afraid that sooner or later the people in this town will point at his nose and call him an adulterer, so he can only cowardly choose to give up what he loves.

Cai Mingfeng bitterly told her helplessness: "Fengying, just let me go back, I will always think about you in my heart." ”

Liu Fengying's hot heart was like falling into an ice cellar, she stared into his eyes for a long time, and from his flickering eyes, what she saw was no longer nostalgia for herself, but a panicked heart.

She understood in her heart that it would be difficult for her to keep him, so she could only nod numbly and said, "You go, what if I don't let you go?" Your heart is no longer there, you go, let's go! Then he turned around and waved away alone with tears in his eyes.

Cai Mingfeng silently packed her luggage and quietly walked out of Liu Fengying's inn. Looking at the town where he had lived for several years, he turned around and left the town of Sanhe and embarked on the road back to his hometown, carrying the money earned by the merchants.

What Cai Mingfeng never expected was that the thieves who had been eyeing him for a long time also followed him all the way. Day and night, when he hurried back to his house, it was already late at night. Just as he was looking around blankly and hesitating, he was awakened by the sound of a dog barking.

Although he had been away from home for more than three years, the old dog still recognized his master at a glance, barked twice and then ran over, rubbing his long cloth shirt affectionately. Cai Mingfeng was about to put down the package and open the door to call the door, but the door suddenly opened from the inside, and a figure suddenly rushed out.

Cai Mingfeng found that it was a man, and seeing that the man was about to flee in a hurry, he had the courage to step forward and grab the man's sleeve. Before he could expect it, the man swung a short knife in his hand and slashed at his neck. Cai Mingfeng fell to the ground, and a stream of blood gushed out. Seeing that the murder was committed, the man threw down the murder weapon and fled in a panic.

Cai Mingfeng's father-in-law Zhu Maoqing's house was not far away, and after hearing the sound of the dog barking, Zhu Maoqing guessed that his son-in-law should have returned. He knew that his daughter and son-in-law often quarreled, and this time he asked someone to talk to him with both soft and hard, so Cai Mingfeng had to come back. After thinking about it again and again, Zhu Maoqing couldn't rest assured and decided to get up and go to visit. When he hurriedly rushed to Cai's house in the dark, he tripped over Cai Mingfeng, who had fallen to the ground, and when he got up, he touched a short knife with a handle, and when he got closer, his hands were covered with blood.

Zhu Maoqing didn't know what was going on for a while, and was about to take a closer look, when the husband who was patrolling the night with torches happened to pass by here and discovered this tragedy. The husband couldn't help but be shocked, and suspected that he had killed his son-in-law, while shouting: "Murder, death!" Zhu Maoqing has killed someone! While working with the neighbors who were awakened, he twisted the overwhelmed Zhu Maoqing to the yamen.

It was really a disaster from the sky, although Zhu Maoqing felt wronged, he knew in his heart that this incident was caused by his daughter. Zhu Maoqing's daughter Zhu Lian got along with Chen Dalei, the descendant of the butcher shop, before she got married, but he couldn't get used to Chen Dalei, so he forced his daughter to marry Cai Mingfeng. Unexpectedly, after Zhu Lian and Cai Mingfeng got married, they still secretly corresponded with Chen Dalei, but they were extremely indifferent to their husband Cai Mingfeng.

Chen Dalei and Zhu Lian mixed together without avoiding suspicion. The short knife was originally used by Zhu Maoqing to cut vegetables on behalf of his daughter, because the blacksmith and Zhu Maoqing were acquaintances, so he kindly engraved his surname "Zhu" on the handle of the knife, he never imagined that it turned out to be the evidence that he murdered his son-in-law Cai Mingfeng could not deny.

Zhu Lian was forced by her father to leave Chen Dalei and marry Cai Mingfeng, and she had a resentment in her heart. Although she knew the truth of this matter, not only did she refuse to defend her father, but she framed her father. Zhu Maoqing sighed sadly and wept, feeling that he had no way to teach his daughter and his family was unfortunate, but he was unwilling to expose his daughter's ugly affairs, so he was silent in tears, unwilling to resign himself to fate.

In the public court, the county official shouted and asked: "Who are you, why do you want to shout for Cai Mingfeng?" Liu Fengying then parted with Cai Mingfeng's affection one by one, and the listeners were in an uproar, some praised her for her love and righteousness, and some scolded her for not abiding by women's morals and ruining the doorway.

In the public court, the county official shouted and asked: "Who are you, why do you want to shout for Cai Mingfeng?" Liu Fengying then parted with Cai Mingfeng's affection one by one, and the listeners were in an uproar, some praised her for her love and righteousness, and some scolded her for not abiding by women's morals and ruining the doorway.

Although Liu Fengying suspects that there is another real culprit in this murder case, there is no evidence in her hand to prove who killed Cai Mingfeng. At the moment of suspense, I suddenly saw a person break into the lobby, but when I saw this person kneeling on the ground, the county official was about to ask, and the person had already spoken: "The villain saw Cai Shanren being killed, if I don't report it, it will be a crime." Besides, I can't get over it on my conscience, I think Cai Shanren was also my benefactor back then, I'm afraid that if I don't tell the truth, I will be retributed. ”

This person is the thief who followed behind Cai Mingfeng, although he is greedy for money, he also has his own conscience. Previously, when Cai Mingfeng was doing business in Sanghe Town, he had received Cai Mingfeng's favor several times in hunger and cold, so he called Cai Mingfeng Cai Shanren.

That night, although he followed Cai Mingfeng all the way, it was just because he was obsessed with money, but he unfortunately saw a human tragedy. In addition to being shocked, he thought that only he had witnessed the whole story of the case, and if he didn't tell the truth, Cai Mingfeng would definitely die. After dozens of days of inner struggle, I finally mustered up the courage to kneel on top of the lobby and revealed the whole truth of the case.

After the truth was revealed, the case finally had the result it should have. Zhu's father and daughter were acquitted, and the murderer Chen Dalei escaped and was wanted and pursued; Liu Fengying, an infatuated woman, but because she violated ethics and morals, she trespassed into the court, and finally angered the county officials and was punished for selling as an official prostitute.

The wind was gloomy and miserable, and the two officials escorted Liu Fengying all the way, and a raised new tomb next to the road suddenly caught Liu Fengying's eyes: Cai Mingfeng's tomb! Two lines of tears instantly welled up in her eyes, and she silently thought in her heart: Cai Lang, I'm here, I can't be together in life, let's be together forever after death.

Liu Fengying suddenly rushed towards the mound, slammed her head on the hard stone stele, and the blood splattered in all directions instantly soaked into the mound of Xinli. When the two officials were stunned when they saw this fierce woman die in love, they couldn't help but sigh deeply for what happened to Liu Fengying: "God doesn't open his eyes! ”
