Today's opening, first pull two idiom stories.
The Northern Song Dynasty painter Wen Tong is not famous, but his cousin Su Dongpo is famous all over the world, the two are both cousins and children's relatives, often paid with literature, playing that is called a style!
Wen Tong is the best at painting bamboo, because of the years of subtle observation of bamboo, he painted bamboo with a wave, never draft, others praised him: "Wen Tong painting bamboo, has long been a bamboo!" ”。
When Yangzhou was too punctual, others thought it was a poor and remote area, but Wen Tong loved it, because the local area was full of bamboo forests.
Because of his honesty and honesty, Wen Tong often used bamboo shoots to eat, and one day he was eating when he suddenly received a letter from Su Dongpo and opened it to see that there was such a poem:
"The Han sword repairs bamboo as a pony, and the jin axe He once pardoned the dragon of tuò. It is expected that the poor and hungry are too guarded, and the Weichuan thousand acres are in the chest. ”
The implication is that I know your disposition very well, and I think that at this time, you who have a cleaner face than your face have eaten thousands of acres of bamboo!
Wen Tong, who was eating, laughed so much that a mouthful of rice suddenly spewed out, which also created an idiom: laugh and spray rice.
Pull so much, only because the protagonist of today's story is this official of true temperament - Wen Tong.
01
During the reign of Emperor You of the Northern Song Dynasty, Wen Tong served as the Taishou of Jincheng in Shanxi.
On this day, he was working in the government office, when suddenly a servant came to report: "There is a young scholar who claims that he has committed a murder and wants to meet the adult." ”
As soon as he heard that there had been a murder, Wen Tong did not dare to slacken off, and quickly went to the court to interrogate the case, only to see that the scholar had a withered face, a thin body, and a weak look.
"You said there was a murder, who was the deceased, and who was the murderer?" And one by one! ”
"Your Honor, the deceased is my wife, and the murderer is me!" Wen Tong couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this: "Can't you see that this scholar is actually a murderer, and has the courage to turn himself in?" ”！
After some questioning, it was only after some inquiry that the cause of the murder was learned.
It turned out that this scholar's name was Kim Jong-won, a talent from Jinjiazhuang on the outskirts of the city, who was only nineteen years old this year, and his wife Wu was sixteen years old, and the two did not know each other before marriage, and they were married on the orders of their parents.
Since their marriage, the Wu clan has been very cold to Kim Jong-won, and on the day of the Chongyang Festival six days ago, Kim Jong-won went out as a guest, returned home in the evening to open the door, and found his wife Wu and his neighbor Gao Jinbao doing that meticulous thing in a red stripe.
Gao Jinbao was frightened to seize the door and flee when he saw the scandal, and Kim Jong-won became more and more depressed the more he thought about it afterwards, so he killed Wu Shi today and came to Yamen to surrender.
The facts of the case are simple, Kim Jong-won can't bear the humiliation, out of anger and killed his wife afterwards turned himself in.
According to the Great Song Dynasty, a husband who kills his adulterous wife can be acquitted as long as the evidence is conclusive.
But at this time, Wen Tong's heart floated a little doubt: "Since it is out of anger, why did Jin Jong-won kill his wife after six days?" Such a statement is obviously difficult to establish!
Therefore, while taking Kim Jong-won into custody, he summoned ya to the scene of the crime to investigate.
Sure enough, once the scene was investigated, many suspicious points were found.
02
A female corpse fell in a pool of blood, although the scene was bloody and messy, but it was still faintly recognizable wu's beauty before his death.
After examination, the knife wounds on the deceased Wu's whole body were tilted and violent, and the murderer was left-handed.
lefty? Wen Tong excluded Kim Jong-won at the first time: First, Hezuo said that the perpetrator was a person with fierce strength, and this Kim Jong-won was just a weak student, where is there such strength?
Second, according to his observation, this Kim Jong-won is not left-handed.
Since the murderer was not Kim Jong-won, why did he have to bear the charge of murder?
Wen Tong then summoned Kim Jong-won's father, Kim Yu-sung, to find out some clues from him.
Who expected that this Kim Jong-won was also a fool, just prostrating his head like pounding garlic, crying and begging Wen Taishou to turn himself in for the sake of his son's surrender, and send him down lightly.
At this moment, his neighbor Wang Shan stood up to help: "Everyone knows that Wu Shi is a woman with watery Yanghua, since Jin Zhengyuan has seen the adulterer Gao Jinbao, don't you know if you arrest him for interrogation?" ”。
This proposal made Wen Tong look at this rural villager with astonishment: This remark is reasonable and well-founded, that is, the enthusiasm is a bit excessive!
He silently wrote down the name "Wang Shan" in his mind, and then ordered someone to bring Gao Jinbao to the front of the hall.
Wen Tong saw that this Gao Jinbao was born with a dignified appearance, and the man's heroism was full of manhood between his eyebrows, and indeed he was a little more manly than that Jin Zhengyuan, and from this point of view, it was also reasonable for Wu To have an affair with him.
After several interrogations, Gao Jinbao admitted to his adulterous affair with Wu, and did not hesitate to praise Wu's figure.
Then he turned sharply, saying that Jin Jong-won was just a bag without the power of a chicken, where would he dare to do the act of killing people? He also asked Wen Taishou to preside over justice and strictly investigate the real culprit to avenge the grievances of the Wu clan.
This wave of flirtatious operations made the onlookers look dumbfounded, and also brought the case to an impasse.
No matter how Wen Tong tortured, gao Jinbao only admitted to adultery, insisting that he had never killed anyone, so who would be the real murderer?
03
For several days, there was no progress in the case, and Wen Tong could not help but sigh for a long time, when someone invited him to a Taoist temple to relax, and he gladly went to the appointment.
The three monkeys that were fighting in the Taoist temple made Wen Tong look very excited: a green-tailed monkey suddenly slapped the red-tailed monkey's head door a few times.
The third monkey ran after him, slapping the green-tailed monkey to the ground, and then the two monkeys beat the green-tailed monkey violently.
Wen Tong unconsciously clapped his hands and laughed, he thought about it, since the ancients and the monkeys are reasonable, if someone helps Kim Jong-won kill Wu, and then let Kim Jong-won bear the crime of killing his wife, is this not a well-designed murder plan with a knife?
Perhaps wu in addition to Gao Jinbao, there are other lovers, several people entangled, Wu was killed by this person?
Maybe push along this line of thinking and find new clues!
After returning to the palace, Wen Tong immediately interrogated Jin Zhengyuan, who looked deep and shouted angrily: "According to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, killing the adulterous wife is not guilty, but if you shield the accomplice, the nature of the crime will be different, and when the real murderer is caught, you will be severely punished!" ”。
Jin Jong-won was so frightened that he was terrified and told the truth: Wu was killed by Wang Shan, and the reason why he learned of Wu's adultery was also because of Wang Shan's revelation.
Sure enough, this old king next door is not a good bird!
When Wang Shan was taken to court, he claimed that he had never been involved in Kim Jong-won's wife murder case, which was Kim Jong-won's planting of stolen goods.
Wen Tong also did not listen to his defense, and asked someone to hand him a kitchen knife and a gourd, and ordered him to break open the hall, where Wang Shan knew which one it was, and took the knife in his left hand and split the gourd in two.
Wen Tong saw the situation and slapped Tang Mu in shock: "The murderer has appeared, Wang Shan, where do I see you fleeing?" ”！

As mentioned earlier, judging from the wounds of the deceased Wu, the murderer Kong Wuli was still a left-handed, and in the entire Jinjiazhuang, the left-hander was only Wang Shan, and his performance when cutting melons confirmed this thesis.
In the face of ironclad evidence, Wang Shan had to confess, and a bloody and bizarre murder case finally came out.
It turned out that Wu had always disliked her weak husband Kim Jong-won, and the next-door neighbor Wang Shan, although he was an illiterate mangy man, was extremely good at pleasing women, and soon the two hooked up and became adulterous, but Kim Jong-won did not know about it.
Later, Wu Shi hooked up with the mercurial Gao Jinbao, and this comparison felt that Wang Shan's words and deeds were too rude, so he empathized with him.
Wang Shan was resentful of this, and he first exposed wu to Kim Jong-won, but he did not think that although the goods were angry, they did not want to kill the adulteress.
On the day of the Chongyang Festival, Wang Shan heard an argument next door, and he took the opportunity to go to the Jin family to say peace, and took advantage of Wu's inattention to stab him to death.
Then he cried to Kim Jong-won: "I wanted to give you a little couple to say and say peace, but I didn't think that I would be angry for a while and make a human life, and now I can't eat and go!" ”。
At this time, Jin Zhengyuan also regarded Wang Shan as a good brother who acted heroically and righteously, and it was because he was not accustomed to Wu's lasciviousness that he helped himself to kill people, and then after Wang Shan's flickering, he decided to take over the crime of murder.
Not only can he help Wang Shan escape from his guilt, but he also get rid of this adulteress, wouldn't he have killed two birds with one stone?
In the end, Wen Tong sentenced: Wang Shan deliberately killed people and deliberately punished Ling Chi, Gao Jinbao's adulterous wife was sentenced to be beheaded, and Wu Shi should have been beheaded, but he was exempted from execution because he was dead.
As for the Green Hat King Kim Jong-won, because of his confusion and become an accomplice to the murder, he blamed forty people for removing his meritorious name, and his future for a lifetime was ruined.
If it were not for Wen Taishou to find out the real culprit, then Wang Shan not only killed Wu to vent his anger, but also regarded Jin Zhengyuan as a scapegoat, incidentally asking for the life of his love enemy Gao Jinbao.
Even if Kim Jong-won is spared the death penalty, afterwards he still has to be grateful to This Wang Shan, who played with his wife, how vicious this intention is!
After reading it, I can't help but sigh, people with hearts and minds are really terrible!
