During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a small town called Anning Town in Nanchang Province, where the people's customs were simple and the people's lives were stable, so the literary style was extremely prosperous, and there were many people who read like cattle feathers.
However, recently, the town is not very peaceful, the town's students have disappeared one after another, their families and the servants of the government can not find it, for a time the people in the town are panicked, everyone is in danger.
There is a scholar in the town called Baili Fang, who reads hard and reads a lot of books, has his own unique thinking mode, and after the accident in the town, he keenly feels that the opportunity for his performance has come.
In order to be able to catch the murderer behind the scenes, so as to establish their own prestige and run for the local magistrate, the Hundred Mile Side often wanders alone in the deep mountains outside the town, and the life is extremely hard.
Wang Huixing, the wife of the Baili side, saw that he was so persistent, she opened her mouth to persuade him to pay attention to his body, who knew that the Baili side did not appreciate it at all, and scolded Wang Huixing bitterly, telling her not to be nosy.
After Wang Huixing was scolded, not only was he not angry, but there was also a glimmer of joy in his eyes, and he was well covered up, and since then, Wang Huixing has never taken care of the affairs of the Hundred Mile Side.
The unconstrained hundred-mile side became more free, and the scope of activities became larger and larger, and in the blink of an eye and half a year, the hundred-mile side still found nothing, but half of the students in the town disappeared.
Seeing that the situation was so serious, the magistrate gathered everyone together and prepared to come up with a countermeasure, and after some discussion, the people decided to follow the example of the hundred miles and take the initiative to find out who was behind it.
Seeing that his hopes for running for magistrate were dashed, the Baili side returned home disheartened, and he did not taste a bite of the meal carefully prepared for him by Wang Huixing.
Since that day, the Baili side has never gone out again, and has been hiding at home all day sighing, but Wang Huixing often goes out, and when he comes back, he has a happy face, at the same time, the remaining students in the town disappear faster and faster.
One morning, the magistrate personally came to ask the Baili side to go out to search for the murderer, and although the Baili side was impatient, it did not dare to disobey, so it had to go to the designated area to look for it.
In the evening, when the hundred mile side was preparing to go home, it suddenly rained heavily in the sky, and the hundred mile side looked around and found that there was a broken temple not far away, so it planned to go there to avoid the rain, and after going to the temple, the rain outside was getting bigger and bigger, and the hundred mile side decided to rest in the temple for one night.
In the middle of the night, there was a sudden knock at the door in the ears of the hundred miles, he immediately opened his eyes, held a wooden stick to the door, and then opened the door, after the door opened, a majestic but dying tiger walked in, the hundred miles side raised the stick and beat, but the wooden stick broke in response.
The hundred mile side retreated one after another, and grabbed a brick with his hand, the tiger spat out words after seeing it, so that the hundred mile side did not be afraid, he came this time to ask for something, the hundred mile side looked at the tiger suspiciously, and let the tiger stand outside the three zhangs to talk to him.
The tiger consciously stepped back two feet, and then knelt on the ground, begging the hundred-mile side to save the life of the town's students, and the hundred-mile side was confused and let the tiger explain the point.
Tiger said that he was originally a tiger demon practicing in the mountains, because he prevented his sister fox demon from harming the town's scholars, but his sister was beaten out of his original form and became like this, and now it seems that only the hundred miles side can save the remaining students in the town.
Without waiting for the Baili side to ask questions, the tiger said that its sister was the wife of the Baili side, and many years ago, the Baili side of the previous life saved its master sister, and in order to repay the favor, its master sister worked hard to cultivate and marry the Baili party in this life.
After becoming a relative, his sister saw that the Baili side was too obsessed with being a magistrate, so she decided to secretly help the Baili side, and she used her magic power to secretly kill some shusheng, hoping to reduce competitors for the Baili side, which led to the disappearance of the town's shusheng one after another.
A few days ago, after the Tiger Demon discovered the atrocities of its sister, it spoke out to stop it, and as a result, it was seriously injured, and in desperation, it could only come to the Baili side for help and ask him to save the remaining students.
Bai Li suddenly realized that he could not imagine that he was actually the culprit who killed those students, and as soon as he thought of this, he immediately braved the heavy rain to return home, wrote a letter of resignation to dismiss Wang Huixing, and refused to change his mind no matter how Wang Huixing pleaded.
Later, Wang Huixing committed suicide to apologize, and the Baili side lost the idea of being an official, and became a sweeper in the town, and a sweep was a lifetime.
