Xiao Cabbage's husband has been working outside for many years, and there are rumors in neighbors that Yang Naiwu and Xiao Cabbage have an ambiguous relationship, after all, the rumors are not credible, and there is nothing wrong. However, on the ninth day of the first month of October in the twelfth year of Tongzhi, Ge Pinlian, the husband of Xiao Cabbage, died suddenly and violently in the middle of the night, and the next day the body bled from her mouth and nose, and Ge Pinlian's mother reported to the authorities.

This Liu Zhixian and Yang Naiwu had a little contradiction, and when they heard the rumors of the villagers, they beat Yang Naiwu and Xiao Cabbage into a confession. Yang Naiwu was worthy of being a man, thinking that I couldn't just finish it, so he wrote in prison that he was beaten into confession and alibi, and handed it over to his wife and sister to help him rehabilitate.
