During the reign of the Daoguang Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, there was a particularly famous fortune teller in the Yangzhou capital of Jiangsu Province. According to legend, if an ordinary person wants to tell his fortune, he does not need to open his own mouth, and the fortune teller only needs to look in his direction to tell where the person came from, how many people there are in the family, what name he wants to calculate. The most outrageous thing is that this fortune teller is simply a blind man.
What is even more strange is that it is not the strength of this fortune teller. It is a rule made by this fortune teller, that is, not to tell the fortune of women.
A man of good deeds once asked the fortune teller why he had made such a rule by inviting him to drink.
But what people never expected was that when this fortune teller heard that someone wanted to say something to him, he directly threw away the wine glass and touched his bamboo stick to leave. The frightened doer confessed his sins one after another, and after a few more drinks of punishment, he calmed down the fortune teller.
The fortune teller is actually similar to the Feng Shui we are talking about now, in our current scientific and technological society, Mr. Feng Shui can also use feng shui to become popular in society. It is conceivable that in the feudal era when there was no "Mr. De" and "Mr. Sai", how much the ordinary people had to fear people with "mysterious" attributes like Fortune Teller.
But just as there is no impermeable wall in the world, this rule established by the fortune teller is still known to others.
It turned out that the reason why this fortune teller had made such a rule not to tell women's fortunes was that there was a shocking story hidden in it.
Tao Zhengde, a fortune teller, was born in Jiaqing in the fourth year. The family is not to say how generous it is, but it is also a small rich family. Tao Zhengde, who grew up in such an environment, naturally enjoyed more resources than ordinary people.
But this Tao Zhengde did not learn well, and he did not do anything serious except cockfighting and walking dogs on weekdays. Seeing that this Tao Zhengde was also older, when it was time to marry and have children, this Tao Zhengde hooked up with a little girl from the neighbor's family, Bian Shi.
In fact, it is not appropriate to hook up, but there is indeed some ambiguity between these two people. Everyone knows that during the Qing Dynasty, the woman did not go out of the door at home. If any family relies on women to come out to see people and do things, it will inevitably be gossiped by the people.
Under such conditions, even if the neighbor's little girl Bian Shi wanted to have something to do with Tao Zhengde, she would not have this opportunity.
However, as we have just said, this Tao Zhengde is a "street slipper" who does not do business. Ever since he was sure that the Bian clan of the neighbor's family really had feelings for her, he climbed the wall at night and entered the courtyard of the Bian family, and met with the Bian clan at night.
As long as you finally marry this Bian clan home as a wife, it is not a big deal. But Tao Zhengde didn't think so, in his opinion, this night and night meeting was just a "past affair" of the young prince, how could he possibly marry such a woman home?
What people never expected was that this Bian father later wanted to marry this Bian clan to the head of the family of this "Zhaotai" (臬台, also known as 'According to the Inspector', a provincial official in charge of the judiciary, the township examination, and the assessment of local officials).
As we said earlier, the oppression of women during the Qing Dynasty was particularly deep. When Bian Shi learned that he had to marry a second person besides Tao Zhengde, his heart immediately panicked. When I think of "serving" two men in this life, I can't help but be a little afraid. In addition, if the son of this lord of the house finds himself on the wedding night and is embarrassed and angry, I am afraid that the life of his family will have to be accounted for.
Thinking of this, Bian Shi told Tao Zhengde about the incident one night, hoping that Tao Zhengde could show up and give an explanation. Who knew that as soon as Tao Zhengde heard about this, he immediately rolled up his sleeves and said, "If you want to marry someone, then you will marry, what do you have to do with me?" Do you still want me to marry you? ”
Hearing this, Bian Shi was suddenly struck by lightning, and his tears immediately flowed uncontrollably. Tao Zhengde did not pity him at all, just sneered, and climbed back along the wall again.
Bian Shi cried in his boudoir for half a moment, and felt that he could not sit here and wait for death, so he began to think of a way. Not long after, a somewhat treacherous plan emerged from his heart.
The next morning, Bian went to his parents' room crying and crying, and as soon as he opened the door, he threw himself into his father's arms. Before Bian's father could react, he saw his daughter crying so much that he asked what had happened.
Bian Shi cried again for a while before he spoke, "Last night, when Old Uncle Tao next door heard that I was going to marry the son of the lord of the temple, he took advantage of his daughter's sleep, flipped over from the wall, and broke into her daughter's room to defile her daughter. Hearing this, Bian's father was suddenly struck by lightning and stayed where he was for a while without reacting.
After speaking, Bian Shi cried for a while, and when he saw that his father had returned to god, he continued: "Uncle Tao Shi also said that since the father wants his daughter to marry the son of the lord of the tai, he must enjoy it himself first." ”
As soon as Bian Shi's words came out, he immediately made his father angry. Seeing him shout angrily, he was about to go out. Bian Shi quickly grabbed his father and asked, "What does my father want to do?" Seeing his daughter blocking him, Bian's father said, "What else can be done, naturally it is to go to that old thing to settle accounts." ”
Who knew that before he could say this, Bian Shi shook his head and said to his father, "What is the use of my father going to find uncle Tao Shi?" What good can it do other than let others know that her daughter has been humiliated? Instead of going to find Uncle Tao Shi's trouble, the father would go directly to the son of the lord of the tai and let him come forward to administer justice for his daughter. In this way, even if the daughter dies, she can die willingly. ”
Hearing his daughter's words, Bian's father also felt that it made sense, so he went back to change his clothes and led the horse to the palace of lord Nagutai.
That Bian Shi looked at the back of his father's departure, turned his head and looked in the direction where the Tao family's courtyard was located. In his heart, he thought with hatred: "Tao Zhengde, you negative man with a wolf's heart and dog lungs, since you don't want to contribute to my affairs, then I will destroy your family." ”
Moreover, when the father of the Bian clan went to the palace of the Lord of Nagutai, the people in this house did not have the slightest sense that a catastrophe was imminent.
Not long after, the son of lord Nagutai led a group of people and horses to follow the father of the Bian clan to the gate of the Tao family. Without saying a word, the prince of the lord of the platform drew his sword and slashed the two underlings at the gatekeeper, and then he waved his hand and let the people and horses brought behind him knock the gate open.
After entering the gate, the son of the lord of the Taitai said to the somewhat confused Tao family members: "I am the son of the Tai family in this province, and I heard that your old master Tao defiled my wife who had not passed through the door last night, but is there really something wrong?" ”
Looking at the menacing and blood-stained knife of the Tai Tai Gongzi, everyone in the Tao family was like a sieve chaff one by one, and did not dare to speak at all. At this moment, The father of the Bian clan walked in and pointed to a middle-aged man in his forties and said, "Tao Wenjiang, how long will you have to hide?" ”
When the prince of the Great Man heard the identification of the future Yue Zhang, he immediately took a step forward and arrested Tao Wenjiang from the crowd. The big knife was thrown into the neck of that Tao Wenjiang, and immediately frightened that Tao Wenjiang into, and he quickly began to explain: Gongzi forgives sins and Gongzi forgives sins, and the old man does not know why Gongzi is so angry. ”
Hearing Tao Wenjiang's words, the prince of Lord Futai sneered and said to Tao Wenjiang: "Is it not true that you old man wants to say that my unmarried wife wants to slander you with her innocence?" Speaking of this, the son of Lord Gutai turned his head to look at Bian's father and said, "Father-in-law, go and invite my wife who has not passed through the door and ask him to recognize himself." Bian's father hurriedly responded and went home to find his daughter.
But when Bian's father entered the house, he heard a cry coming out. Bian's father secretly said something bad in his heart and rushed into the back room. As soon as I looked at the past, it was like being beaten by someone, and the whole person could not stand.
I saw a white silk hanging from the beam of the room, and my wife was sitting on the ground holding her daughter's body and crying bitterly.
Bian's father felt a rush of blood in his heart, turned and rushed out of the house and ran to the door of the Tao family. As soon as he entered the door, he grabbed a steel knife and made a gesture to split it towards Tao Wenjiang. The prince of the Lord of the Pillar saw that the situation was not good, so he reached out and stopped him. After waiting for a long time, I saw the father of the Bian clan sitting on the ground crying bitterly. Lord Futai's son also felt bad in his heart, so he asked, "Father-in-law?" But what happened? ”
While crying, Bian's father pointed to Tao Wenjiang, who was pressed to the ground, and scolded: "He also said that he did not do such a faceless thing, it is difficult to succeed, it is difficult to become my daughter who is suffering, and I want to use my own life to harm you." ”
As soon as these words came out, even the prince of the Lord of The Taitai could not help but feel the anger in his heart, and with a quick swing of the knife in his hand, he cut off one of Tao Wenjiang's arms. After cutting off Tao Wenjiang's arm, the prince of the Lord of The Taitai asked, "Do you admit your guilt or not?" If you don't admit guilt, Ben Gongzi will have to kill you in your Tao family today. ”
Tao Wenjiang's heart was full of pain, and at this time, he also guessed the truth of these things. He closed his eyes and said with tears in his eyes: "Confessed, recognized, the old man recognized." ”
Hearing that Tao Wenjiang had indeed confessed his guilt, the prince of the Lord of The Taitai swung the steel knife in his hand and slashed Tao Wenjiang to the head with one sword. Then he said to the people behind him, "Kill this Potter family up and down to me to honor the soul of my dead wife." ”
Suddenly, the Tao family suddenly jumped, and all the men, women, and children were killed under this butcher's knife. At this moment, Tao Zhengde, who had lost all his money outside, walked to the door. As soon as he approached the gate of the Tao family, two people immediately arrested him. As soon as Bian's father saw that Tao Zhengde was still there, he immediately raised his hand to give him a knife, but he was stopped by the prince of the Lord of the Taitai.
Even if Tao Zhengde was stupid, he knew that he had entered the Yan Luo Hall by mistake, and he immediately struggled. When a subordinate saw that Tao Zhengde still wanted to escape, he raised the horse whip and pointed it at Tao Zhengde's cheek, which made Tao Zhengde scream bitterly.
When Tao Zhengde walked inside and saw his father lying on the ground, he immediately softened his legs and sat on the ground.
Looking at Tao Zhengde, who had a miserable face, the prince of the lord of the platform did not have the heart to tease him, and said to a subordinate: "Goug out his eyes, and then throw him outside the city." One of the subordinates nodded, and after pulling out a sharp knife from the back of his waist, he asked two people to help him, and then he dug out Tao Zhengde's eyeballs.
At this time, Tao Zhengde had already fainted in pain, and by the time he woke up again, he had already been thrown into the wilderness outside the city.
I don't know whether to say that this Tao Zhengde is lucky or bad, he was groping and crawling on that desolate wilderness ridge, and he actually met a Taoist monk. The Daoist priest naturally did not know what kind of person this Tao Zhengde was, but when he saw that he was pitiful, he helped him up and said to him again: "The Poor Dao is a Daoist monk, although I don't know what kind of calamity you have already had, but when I see that you are pitiful, I also want to ask you if you are willing to follow the Poor Dao into the gate of all the wonderful things and become a Wandering Daoist." ”
Tao Zhengde naturally refused to give up such a chance to live, and when he knelt down, he bowed to this Youfang Daoist.
After that, things were simple, after the death of the Youfang Daoist, only this Tao Zhengde himself was left alone. However, this Tao Zhengde was a blind man who could not see the road, and naturally could not do those rituals of exorcising demons and exorcising demons and watching the wind and listening to the water. He could only pull a piece of cloth, write the word fortune teller, and continue to wander away from the land of Kyushu while telling people fortunes. Fortunately, Tao Zhengde calculated correctly, otherwise, he would have starved to death long ago.
The words of the ancients that "the most poisonous woman's heart" are not without reason from the perspective of this story. Look at that Bian Clan in order to get revenge on Tao Zhengde, at the cost of his own life. Although in the end, Tao Zhengde survived, he also became a blind man who told fortunes along the street.
In fact, if we deviate from this storyline, it is not difficult to see the meaning of this story. The love of men and women is actually not a taboo thing, the most important thing is that women should find a responsible man, and men should also be a responsible person.
