More than 140 years ago, Yang Naiwu and Xiao Cabbage were wronged, and French reporters took a rare picture

 People often say that "the legal network is restored, neglect is not leaked", those who make mistakes and crimes will be punished accordingly sooner or later, and the law is the best sanction tool to ensure the stability of social security, those who are just law enforcers are also respected and affirmed by people, especially in modern society, judicial justice directly affects the harmony of society, and those who try to bend the law for personal gain will inevitably bear their own consequences.

However, in the late Qing Dynasty, the declining Qing court was eaten by many officials like silverfish, and the world was getting worse, and selling officials and lords, corruption, and bending the law for personal gain had become the norm, and in such an environment, a suspicious case at the end of the Qing Dynasty occurred, that is, the famous Yang Naiwu and Xiao Cabbage, the two of them suffered grievances and were fabricated into folk tales by the world. Yang Naiwu and Xiao Cabbage became celebrities, and no one knew what they looked like, but they were photographed by French reporters.

Yang Naiwu is a native of Yuhang, Zhejiang, and all know that the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas are rich in silk, and the Yang family is no exception, it is a famous local sericulture professional household, the Yang family should have been an authentic rich businessman, and did not expect that the Yang family had such a talented person as Yang Naiwu. Yang Naiwu not only looked dignified, but also only eight buckets high, and after participating in the imperial examination, he became a trial person in the township of Yan Youke, which can be said to be rich and talented.

The original name of the little cabbage is Bi Xiugu, married to Ge Pinlian as a child bridesmaid, and has since become Ge Bishi, after marriage, the couple came to Yuhang to make a living, and became Yang Naiwu's tenants. Ge Bishi looks good, usually likes to wear green clothes and white pants, the neighbors gave her a nickname, called "little cabbage", this name spread.

Originally, the Ge family was an ordinary tenant, but the little cabbage was diligent and studious, and after knowing that Yang Naiwu was a person, he humbly asked for advice and wanted to learn some knowledge. Yang Naiwu is a person with a straight and enthusiastic personality, seeing that the little cabbage is so studious, he has time to teach her to read and write, one is willing to learn, one is willing to teach, and when they come and go, they become a master-apprentice relationship.

The mouths of the people can sparkle gold, and the three of them become tigers. The two were originally a normal master-apprentice relationship, but in that period it was inevitable that they would be criticized by the neighbors, thinking that their relationship was unclear, passing around, after a "polish" of the seven aunts and eight aunts, Yang Naiwu's master-apprentice relationship with the little cabbage became a scandal, but this word was not pointed out, after all, there was no evidence, the neighbors were only privately discussing and speculating.

Moreover, Ge Pinlian was also a short-lived person, suffering from "flowing fire disease". This condition is more complex, in modern medicine, it is an infection involving superficial lymphatic vessels of the dermis, it is easy to recur, there will be symptoms of high fever when it occurs, the skin will burn and swell and become red, and it will endanger life when it is serious. When Ge Pinlian had a flaming attack, Xiao Cabbage thought that he was a common cold, and as a result, the medicine was ineffective, and In just three days, Ge Pinlian died violently.

The little cabbage who died her husband is naturally very sad, but no matter how sad she is, she can't save her husband's life, she can only bear to worry about her husband's aftermath. But in the eyes of neighbors, Ge Pinlian's death is not so simple, people like to string together some events to make plausible inferences, such as the scandal between Yang Naiwu and Xiao Cabbage, and Ge Pinlian's violent death, that is, a typical murder of her husband, so the enthusiastic neighbors think that Ge Pinlian died because of the mystery, so they told the government about it.

In the eyes of the neighbors, the little cabbage is a wicked woman and slut like Pan Jinlian, and the little cabbage is innocent and useless, since it alarmed the official government, then let the people of the official government come to the autopsy. The little cabbage did not do bad things naturally not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, but the people who could not stand the official government had ghosts in their hearts. Liu Xitong and Yang Naiwu of Yuhang Zhi County already had entanglements, and they had long seen that Yang Naiwu was not pleasing to the eye, and when they saw that this matter was related to Yang Naiwu, it was a good time to retaliate against Yang Naiwu.

I don't know if it was intentional, or the autopsy was derelict in its duties, the silver needle used to check whether the body was poisoned, normally should be cleaned with soap horn water and then acupunctured, otherwise the thorn will appear black, the result is that the thorn will appear black, the result is that the white cabbage is not cleaned directly to test the poison, the silver needle becomes black, so Liu Xitong arbitrarily believes that the little cabbage uses arsenic to murder her husband, and the little cabbage is caught in this way.

Xiao Cabbage naturally refused to admit that Bai had been wronged by virtue of Bai, how could Liu Xitong miss the opportunity to frame Yang Naiwu, so he tortured Xiao Cabbage and pierced her breasts with hot copper wire, Xiao Cabbage could not stand this kind of capital punishment and was beaten into a confession, and Yang Naiwu thus became an accomplice to "adultery and murder" with Xiao Cabbage. Yang Naiwu suffered a grievance out of thin air and would not admit this crime, because Yang Naiwu was an elevated person, and Xiao Zhixian had no right to execute the sentence, so this case of "adultery and murder" was transferred to the prefect of Hangzhou.

The prefect of Hangzhou and The county of Yuhangzhi were both on the same hill, and they all belonged to the Zuo Zongtang faction, relying on Zuo Zongtang, the patron of the mountain, to commit adultery, and tortured Yang Naiwu, who could not stand the torture and was beaten into a confession. At this point in the case, it seems that Yang Naiwu and Xiao Cabbage are waiting for qiuhou to be cut off, but the people of the Yang family are not willing, after all, with their local identity and prestige, there are also some connections in the court, in order to save Yang Naiwu, they also did their best.

With the efforts of the Yang family, they used their connections to go to Beijing to file a complaint, and the file was sent to the military minister and prime minister of state affairs, Weng Tonggong, who was also an important minister of the imperial court, no less than Zuo Zongtang, and after mutual disclosure and ridicule, this case alarmed Empress Dowager Cixi. Empress Dowager Cixi sent minister Chincha to handle the case, and the case of "adultery and murder" was tried in public in the capital.

The public trial attracted many people who did not know the truth, including some outsiders, a French journalist Youqing witnessed the trial process of the case, and photographed the true faces of Yang Naiwu and Xiao Cabbage. After the case was rigorously tried by minister Chincha, it was found that Ge Pinlian was not poisoned, but died of illness, and the truth of Yang Naiwu's "adultery and murder" case between Yang Naiwu and Xiao Cabbage was revealed, and the two were acquitted.
