The thief king Yongliang washed his hands in a golden basin and retired to the rivers and lakes.

In the late autumn sky, the sky is high and the clouds are light, Wang Yongliang is happy to have a noble son, the whole family is happy, he drank happily, and unconsciously, he has been slightly drunk.

Wang Yongliang felt that he was drunk and brought a horse, he rode out to wander, in a trance galloping on a wide street, passing through a crooked alley, it seems that there is a family there, the door is painted with red paint, it is not very spacious, and there is a couplet pasted on both sides of the door, which reads: "Dance to stop the clouds, sing into willows and warblers." The handwriting is soft, and the tone looks like a place like a green building.

Wang Yongliang stopped his horse and stopped walking.

Suddenly, there was a girl with unkempt hair, who opened the door and walked out, and said to herself: "I, Dou Guimei, how can I do such ugly things that are filthy and cheap! No matter how you whip and torture me, I Dou Guimei will not give in to you!"

Wang Yongliang felt very strange, so he squinted at this girl and found that her age, about fourteen or five years old, was about 14 or 5 years old, with buds waiting to be released, her skin was snow-white, and her demeanor was graceful.

Wang Yongliang saw the girl, walking to the east of the jungle, he was also about to hit the horse to follow to see what was going on, but the horse riding under him, suddenly lame, knocked him up, almost fell off, Wang Yongliang was taken aback, cold sweat, and then woke up, and saw that he was lying on the bed in the hall, it turned out to be a strange dream, however, the scene encountered in this dream is vivid, and it can't be shaken, in Wang Yongliang's mind, left a deep impression.

For several nights, I had the same strange dreams.

In the dark, there is a providence.

After Xu Minghui, the city lord of Bianzhou City, returned to the yang, he was not what it used to be, he was thirsty for talent, and he had been condescending to the noble three times, and he went to the mountain village to invite the thief Wang Yongliang to go out of the mountain again, re-emerge from the rivers and lakes, assist him in managing the affairs of Bianzhou City, and let his daughter Xu Nana worship Wang Yongliang's mother as a godmother, and Wang Yongliang began to call each other brother and sister.

Xu Nana's mouth was very sweet, and she coaxed the queen mother to bloom in her heart, so she and her daughter-in-law Dong Yulan persuaded Wang Yongliang to go to the city lord's mansion to assist her father-in-law Xu Minghui in handling official business.

Mother's fate is difficult to disobey, Wang Yongliang is actually a big filial son, he has been grateful to his old mother for decades, with the great kindness of raising him to adulthood, besides, since he recognized Xu Nana as his goddaughter, and added a grandson to the family, he has been bitter and happy, laughing and laughing, and the old mother seems to be living younger and younger.

Wang Yongliang happily said goodbye to his family and lived in the city lord's mansion in Bianzhou.

After Wang Yongliang arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, he was busy and occasionally went to the market to wander around.

On this day, Wang Yongliang walked leisurely through a deep alley, which was very similar to what he had seen in his dream before, and when he passed in front of the door of a house, he felt particularly like the family he saw in his dream, and the two doors were also tightly closed, and there was a couplet on both sides of the door, which was also written with those words.

Wang Yongliang couldn't help but feel surprised, so he asked the people nearby, only to know that this courtyard lived in a famous prostitute Lan Yuhong in Bianzhou City.

When Lan Yuhong was young, she was as beautiful as a flower, and she was very famous in Bianzhou City.

The neighbor on the left adjacent to the Spring Festival Courtyard, whose name is Fan Qi, his mother-in-law Wei Xiaoyan is a good prostitute, and she used to sit with the old bustard Lan Yuhong to sell her body and sell her body, and the relationship between the two is particularly good, she told Wang Yongliang that "when Lan Yuhong was young, she was very beautiful, and there were too many prostitutes, which caused her to be unable to have children all her life." After opening the Spring Festival Courtyard, Lan Yuhong became an old bustard, and her wealth was extensive, she thought about her own future, so she adopted a particularly beautiful fourteen-year-old girl Dou Guimei from the girl she bought to be her goddaughter, enjoying the treatment of a young lady, but I don't know what's going on? This Dou Guimei girl, I don't know how to lift, suddenly, after she stole a lot of money from her godmother Lan Yuhong, the world evaporated, disappeared and disappeared, until now, more than half a year has passed, Lan Yuhong sent out many people, and has not been able to find Dou Guimei's whereabouts, therefore, the disheartened Lan Yuhong dismissed all the girls in the kiln, sent away the nursing homes that took care of the courtyard, and blocked the Spring Festival Courtyard seriously, swearing that from now on, she will wash her heart and change her face, eat fasting and recite Buddha, and no longer earn the dirty money of her conscience。 ”

After Wang Yongliang learned these details from Wei Xiaoyan's mouth, he was even more suspicious in his heart, he thought: Fourteen-year-old Dou Guimei, who was trafficked and fell into the hook fence, she must be unwilling to succumb to the old bustard Lan Yuhong to coerce her into prostitution to pick up customers, and she was tortured to death, what Dou Guimei said to steal money and abscond, but it was just a lie that the old bustard Lan Yuhong deliberately said to deceive everyone, just imagine, how did a fifteen-year-old weak woman, how she managed to steal a huge amount of money and escaped, and successfully absconded out of the brothel？

Wang Yongliang returned to the city lord's mansion, met the city lord Xu Minghui, and explained the ins and outs of the matter in detail, asking him to quickly go and tell the soldiers patrolling Bianzhou City, pay close attention, and pay attention to the every move of Lan Yuhong, the old bustard of the Yingchun Courtyard.

The city lord Xu Minghui disagreed, thinking that this matter was just a guess by Wang Yongliang chasing the wind and shadows, so he didn't listen to him.

Wang Yongliang's heart was not convinced after all, so he discussed with Shang Wuhei, the servant who took care of him, and decided to let Shang Wuhei pretend to be Dou Guimei's own brother and go to Lan Yuhong's house to ask for someone first.

Where else is there anyone! Lan Yuhong couldn't hand over Dou Guimei at all.

So, Wang Yongliang began to act according to the plan he had drawn up, first reported to the local government, and he himself put on the bright clothes of the city lord's office, wrote a supplementary report, and reported the case to the local government.

Wang Yongliang wrote on the statement: The servant next to him is still free of black, and he has a cousin of his fiancée, whose name is Dou Guimei, who is 15 years old. One night more than half a month ago, the servant Shang Shun Hei had something to do with her husband, and happened to pass by the door of a brothel named Yingchun, and accidentally saw his fiancée's cousin Dou Guimei standing by the door of the brothel dressed as a flowery branch, soliciting prostitutes in a loud voice, and when she saw her fiancé's cousin Shang Tuhei coming, she was ashamed and immediately avoided it, and hurriedly ran into the brothel.

Wang Yongliang also wrote Dou Guimei's appearance and the clothes she was wearing on this statement, no matter how big or small, it was true, and it was very well-founded, and he asked the local government to immediately send a messenger to the Yingchun brothel to help search it.

Hu Guangli, the magistrate of Bianzhou City, is jealous of evil and hatred, loves the people like a son, punishes criminals, and is very famous, he knows Wang Yongliang, knows that he is the newly appointed deputy city lord in the city lord's mansion, has a high position, knows the law and understands the law, and will not fabricate facts and make false accusations, so he arrested Lan Yuhong, the old bustard of the Yingchun brothel, and prepared to be tortured to find out Dou Guimei's whereabouts.

Lan Yuhong, the old bustard of the Spring Festival brothel, broke down in her heart, was extremely afraid, afraid of being beaten, and confided the truth one by one.

Sure enough, Dou Guimei was abducted and kidnapped by traffickers from her hometown and sold to a brothel in the Spring Festival, however, although this woman is as beautiful as a flower and waiting to be released, she has a very strong temperament, she refuses to succumb to the customer, and the old bustard Lan Yuhong asked the king in the brothel to whip and beat her all day long, and even stripped off her clothes, tied her arms and legs, and let the prostitute overlord bow hard.

In the second half of the night ten days ago, Dou Guimei, who was covered in bruises, couldn't bear the double torture of daily beatings and physical devastation, and took advantage of the dead of night to commit suicide by cutting her wrists. If the servants were to be sent to the autopsy, there would be traces of binding and beating and forced prostitution by force, forcing the good to become a prostitute, resulting in death, which would be tantamount to murder. Therefore, the old bustard Lan Yuhong did not dare to make a noise, but privately let Dou Guimei's body be hastily buried in the flowers behind the Spring Festival brothel, and was afraid of leaking out, so she assumed that she ran away after stealing the money, but she didn't expect that Dou Guimei actually had a fiancé's cousin, who was on an errand in the city lord's mansion, and came to the brothel to find her to ask for someone.

Hu Guangli, the magistrate of the county, asked the servants to escort the old bustard Lan Yuhong to the Yingchun brothel, and under her identification, the body of Dou Guimei, who died tragically, was dug up.

Lan Yuhong, the old bustard of the Yingchun brothel, was arrested by the government, and was also escorted back to the Yingchun brothel to dig up the body.

On Dou Guimei's corpse, the body is incomplete, full of devastation, and it is unbearable to see!

Suddenly, a young man wearing a high crown and gorgeous clothes walked in from the crowd, caressed Dou Guimei's body, cried loudly, and looked at the lively crowd, all of them felt very shocked, and they didn't know what the relationship between the deceased Dou Guimei and this young man was.

The servant waited for him to cry for a while before he came and asked who he was and what he had to do with the deceased.

The young man replied: "My name is Dou Xiaoming, a native of Anzhou, I am seventeen years old this year, I am a passing merchant, and this deceased Dou Guimei is my own sister, and I am fifteen years old this year. ”

"What? The deceased Dou Guimei is your own sister? Have you made a mistake?"

"Poor master, it will never be wrong, don't believe it, you can do an autopsy on the spot, my sister's back has a plum blossom-shaped mark!"

"The woman came over and quickly examined Dou Guimei's body!"

"Yes!"

......

The autopsy results came out soon, and the deceased Dou Guimei's back really had a plum blossom-shaped birthmark.

"Dou Xiaoming, your hometown is thousands of kilometers away from Bianzhou City, your sister Dou Guimei, how did she come here?

"Back to the official's words, the grass people's parents died since childhood, and his sister Dou Guimei depended on each other, life was forced, the grass people did business outside all the year round, the grass people's wife Lu's temperament has always been very strong, the grass people are not at home, she often abuses the little sister Dou Guimei, the little sister is unbearable, and runs away from home.

After the grass people returned home, they were very angry when they learned about this situation, so they wrote a letter of resignation, expelled his wife Lu from the house, and drove him back to his parents' house. However, Caomin has never heard any news of his sister Dou Guimei, who has been lost for almost another year.

This morning, Jiang Dunhao, the servant of the grass people, passed by here, and saw a lot of people gathered around, all of whom were talking and watching the excitement, so he also squeezed over to see, but as soon as he saw the face of the deceased, he hurriedly ran away, and found the grass people in a shop in the downtown bureau and said, "Young master, the one who died in the brothel of Yingchun should be my Aunt Mei." ’

When the grass people heard this, they were taken aback, and hurriedly ran over to see, and sure enough, it was their own sister, so they were so sad and weeping. ”

The messenger immediately went back to report to Hu Xianling, who was also puzzled and surprised, so he immediately invited Wang Yongliang over and asked him what was going on? Didn't you say that your servant was his cousin? Why did you have another brother running out now?

Wang Yongliang knew that the cousin he arranged, of course, was an impostor, and now Dou Guimei's own brother in the family appeared, so he and Hu Xianling smiled and told the reason for the matter, saying that he himself passed by the door of the spring sunshine opened by Lan Yuhong, and felt very strange, and asked the people around him about some of Lan Yuhong's situation, and expected that Miss Dou Guimei must have been killed by the old bustard Lan Yuhong, so the servant pretended to be the cousin of the old bustard Lan Yuhong, and went to the old bustard Lan Yuhong to ask for someone, and then sued the government and got the cause of Dou Guimei's death。 Wang Yongliang just didn't tell Hu Xianling about the adventures in his previous dreams, and this secret was still hidden in his heart.

Hu Xianling had to be impressed.

Since then, the chivalrous and self-proclaimed people in Bianzhou City have envied Wang Yongliang's reputation for being impatient and righteous, and are willing to make friends with him, and the city lord Xu Minghui is even more impressed by him.

The elder brother of the deceased Dou Guimei, Dou Xiaoming, was even more grateful to Wang Yonghu and often corresponded with him, like an old friend.

In the middle of the night, Wang Yongliang was in a daze, and heard the sound of a rope in front of the bed, as if it was someone, so he asked who it was? Someone immediately replied: "Dou Guiyu." ”

Wang Yongliang has admired Dou Gui very much since he met him in a dream, although she is dead, he is not afraid, he just smiled and said: "The black light is blind, and there is no lamp and candle, how can I know if you lied to me?"

Before he finished speaking, the lights were lit up in the room, and the candles that had been blown out were re-lit, and sure enough, I saw Dou Guimei standing there, still with a flower and moon appearance, and the decoration was also gorgeous and noble, which was completely different from the bleak look he saw in his dream, and rolled up his sleeves, bowed to Wang Yongliang twice, and said: "Guimei has a thin life, at first she was abused by her evil sister-in-law, and then she was persecuted by prostitutes. I didn't expect to meet a hero like you, not a relative, righteous Bo Yuntian defended my grievances, I want to repay your great kindness, it's been a long time, I hope you don't dislike me because I'm already a person in the netherworld, so that I can repay your great kindness slightly, for me, that's a great favor. ”

After listening to her words, Wang Yongliang pondered for a while, and asked her slightly: "The two of us, people and ghosts have different paths, is there any harm?"

Dou Guimei replied a little shyly: "The danger is indeed there, it also depends on who it is." Ghosts are also human beings because of kindness and righteousness, and if they only covet ** and forget their lives, people are also ghosts. Besides, I'm so loyal that I've long gone beyond the path of ghosts, and I'm different from ordinary ghosts, so what do you have to worry about?"

"Since that's the case, then come!" Wang Yongliang happily took the hand of the ghost Dou Guimei and told her to hurry up and go to bed to sleep with him.

Dou Guimei, the ghost of Zhi'en Tubao, squirmed and shyly replied to Wang Yongliang's bed......
