Chapter 359: The Yellow Sparrow's Game

A cadre came to the yamen, and the Taoist priest knelt under the public court. The prefect slapped the shocked wood and asked why the Taoist priest wanted to murder the woman?

The Taoist priest replied: "The villain's name is Chang Yun, and he has been telling fortunes outside all the year round to make a living. Half a year ago, I married this lady in the provincial capital, and half a month ago, I came to Bozhou City and rented a small shop to tell fortunes. The day before yesterday, the two quarreled, and the lady went out and disappeared. The corpse in this well is definitely not my mother's. ”

The prefect asked, "Why didn't you report your lady to the official?"

Taoist priest Chang Yun replied: "The lady is missing, she vomited and left, and she will come back when she is angry, and I didn't report it to the official." ”

"Who is the body in the well?"

"I don't know. It could also be that someone framed it. ”

The prefect saw that the Taoist priest Chang Yun's eyes were cunning, and his answer was not leaky, but he must not be a good person, so he said angrily: "If you don't move the punishment, you won't recruit it, give me a beating." ”

dragged it down, hit dozens of boards, and beat this Taoist priest Chang Yun's blood burst out, and he was revived after death, but he still didn't move. The prefect had to put him on hold for the time being.

He brought Lin San again, knelt under the court, and the prefect asked him, "How did you find out that the woman was missing?"

Na Lin San replied: "The villain is an old bachelor, since he saw this woman's beauty, he couldn't rest assured, but he was annoyed that the Taoist priest was tightly controlled, and he couldn't do anything." The night before yesterday, I heard the sound of beating and scolding in his house, and yesterday I didn't see the woman in his family, so I suspected that I was murdered by this Taoist priest. The corpse in this well is his wife. ”

The prefect also detained the neighbors to identify the corpse, and they all said that this woman had only been here for more than half a month, and had been hiding in her home, never showing her face, not knowing her, and not daring to be sure that the corpse was his wife.

The prefect was still virtuous, and when he saw that the evidence was insufficient and he could not decide the case, he first put the Taoist priest Chang Yun in a cell.

Five days later, the prefect sat in the public court, thinking about the murder of the woman by the Taoist priest, and decided not to do so for a while. At this time, the fortune teller Cheng Yuyou's son walked into the mansion and visited the prefect, and the Taoist family was stolen, and the gold and silver were stolen. When the prefect saw that he was a rich son and his father was an official in another place, he personally brought people to Cheng's house to investigate. Seeing that there were no traces of prying on the doors and windows, it was estimated that he was a thief, but he couldn't find any clues for a while, so he decided that the case was unsolved and shelved.

A few days later, a young man came to Bozhou City, claiming to be Chang Mu, the younger brother of a Taoist priest, and he came to inquire about the whereabouts of his brother Chang Yun. When the neighbor told him what had happened, he ran to the yamen to cry out and was thrown out by the yamen. Chang Mu came to the door of the cell, gave up a few pennies of silver, and then entered the prison, and the brothers saw each other and cried.

Chang Mu ran to the front of the government several times to shout grievances, and was beaten away by the officials with sticks. On this day, Tsuneki wandered the streets. When I looked up by chance, I saw a woman faintly in the attic window, and I couldn't help but be shocked:

"Isn't this my sister-in-law?"

Standing outside the fence, she whispered a few times to her sister-in-law, and the woman heard it, glanced at it, turned around and flashed into the house.

Sure that it was his sister-in-law, Chang Mu hurriedly knocked on the door, and as soon as the back door opened, he rushed in. A few servants came to intercept, this Changmu is young and strong, and has martial arts, three punches and two feet, these servants are not opponents. He rushed up to the attic, dragged his sister-in-law downstairs, and shouted loudly to go to the yamen to complain.

This is exactly the mansion of Cheng Yuyou's son.

When Cheng Gongzi heard the news, he hurriedly ran over, and as soon as he heard that he was going to go to the yamen to complain, he panicked, and he didn't know what to do.

"My son-in-law is willing to pay money, but privately, if you sue the yamen, the prefect will not be able to cut off how much money you have for the sake of the lord as an official. ”

This Changmu is greedy, and as soon as he heard that he was rich, he bowed his head and said nothing, and the fierce momentum just now quickly disappeared without a trace. In the end, the two sides agreed that the Cheng family would give Chang Mu two hundred taels of silver, and Chang Mu promised to only save his brother and not tell Cheng Gongzi.

Chang Mu got the money, didn't say anything more, and led his sister-in-law away. Chang Mu took her to the yamen, knelt in the court, and told the prefect what had happened, without mentioning Cheng Yuyou.

The prefect slapped the shocked wood and shouted at the woman, "Where have you been these days? If there is half a lie, I will not spare you." ”

The woman is a small family, who has never seen the majesty of the court, after this fright, she has long forgotten Cheng Gongzi's explanation, and unconsciously told the truth: "I quarreled with my husband, I left home in anger, walked into a small alley, and was lured to his house by Cheng Gongzi." ”

Quickly brought Cheng Gongzi to the Yamen, Cheng Gongzi saw that there were all the witnesses, and he couldn't deny it, so he had to admit it. The prefect could no longer care about his decency, and asked:

"Who is the corpse in the well?"

Cheng Gongzi said: "It was the maid in the family who died of illness, gave him twenty taels of silver, threw the body into the well in the backyard of the Taoist priest, and framed the Taoist priest in order to possess this woman for a long time." ”

The prefect was furious and showed no mercy, and ordered the official to press Cheng Gongzi on the court, and beat dozens of boards firmly, so that Cheng Gongzi's skin was opened, dragged him into the cell, and fined his family one hundred taels of silver. Cheng Gongzi exhausted all his organs, and finally ended up with no personal wealth.

Taoist priest Chang Yun suffered this lawsuit in vain, saw through the world, no longer told fortunes for others, and decided to leave Bozhou City with his family and prepare to return to his hometown.

A family of three left Bozhou City. After walking ten miles away, he saw that there was no figure on the road, and quickly turned into the dense forest on the side of the road. Three people sit on the stone, you look at me, I look at you, and I can't help laughing.

It turns out that these three people are a gang of charlatans!

The leader was Chang Yun, Chang Mu was a scoundrel in his village, and the woman was a prostitute they had hired for money in the Yingchun Building in the provincial capital.

Chang Yun pretended to be a Taoist priest, took this prostitute and narrated girl, first came to Bozhou City, rented a room, and pretended to set up a stall to tell fortunes, specifically to lure the lustful Cheng Yuyou's son to take the bait.

This Cheng Gongzi is a womanizer, and in two days, he hooked up with a woman. This Cheng Gongzi had a hot fight with the woman, so he thought about occupying it for a long time, and just happened to have a girl ring in the house, so he threw the body into the well of the Taoist priest's house, took the woman home, and framed the Taoist priest and put him in prison. Within two days of Cheng's house, this woman found out where his family's gold was, opened the back door at night, put Chang Mu into the courtyard, and stole it. Then an uncle and sister-in-law recognized each other, pretended to sue the official, and extorted two hundred taels of silver from Cheng Gongzi.

The three of them made a calculation, got the money, did not dare to live in the city for a long time, and hurriedly left the place of right and wrong.

The three of them sat in the dense forest. Chang Yun said proudly: "Cheng Gongzi designed to frame me, he thought he had a plan, but he didn't know that I was setting up a game within a game." As the saying goes, the praying mantis catches the cicada, the yellow finch is behind, and I set up the yellow finch bureau. ”

The three men giggled and dug out the stolen goods from under the stones, prepared to divide the spoils, and left the place.

At this moment, he walked out of the dense forest next door, Lin Sanlai, holding a big wooden stick, and shouted: "You gang of charlatans, you can deceive the prefect and Cheng Gongzi, but you can't deceive me." Leave me all your belongings and silver, or else I will send you to the yamen, which is not a vegetarian. ”

The tricks of these three people were drunk and panicked, Chang Mu was full of martial arts, it could be seen that Lin San was holding a big stick, and he couldn't get close. The three of them had to beg for mercy, saying that although they had extorted Cheng Gongzi's property, Chang Yun also suffered from flesh and skin, and he was in prison for ten days, and he suffered a lot, so he left them a little bit behind. This Lin San was greedy and shouted to leave all the belongings and silver.

It turned out that this Lin San was an old bachelor, and he also coveted the beauty of this woman, and climbed the wall every day to peep, but this Taoist priest took care of it tightly, and he had nowhere to start. Lin San climbed over the wall at night, squatted under the window and eavesdropped, and sure enough, he heard the Yellow Bird Bureau set up by the Taoist priest. Later, I saw Cheng Gongzi come to seduce this woman. Within two days, Cheng Gongzi sent someone to give Lin San a few taels of silver, and told him to come forward to sue the Taoist priest for murdering the woman.

Lin San watched the whole process coldly, and he didn't say anything, he just acted according to Cheng Gongzi's strategy, and waited until they got the money, and then he came to eat black and black halfway. Lin San couldn't help but feel proud, he was the last yellow finch in this yellow finch game.

The three of them saw Lin San holding a big stick and was aggressive, so they had to hand over the money. Lin San carelessly, looked down at his belongings, Chang Mu suddenly hugged him from behind, Chang Yun picked up a big stone, and smashed it on his head again and again. Chang Mu's hand loosened, and Lin San fell to the ground. Chang Yun was afraid that he would not die, so he stepped forward and smashed him twice, and his head was broken, so he was relieved.

"Hmph, good job!"

I saw a man with a sword and walked into the dense forest.
