Lotus Town is a large town in the south, with more than 500 households living in the town. There is a scholar in the town named Wu Wencai, Wu Wencai and a woman named Qing'er in the town, Qingmei Bamboo Horse. This year, Wu Wen was only 21 years old, and Qing'er was 19 years old. It was in this year that Qing'er was forced to marry Wu Dafa, a rich man in the town. Wu Dafa was the richest man in the town, and one day he came to Qing'er's house with his housekeeper and said to Qing'er's parents: "I have a crush on your daughter, I have brought you a dowry of 5,000 taels of silver today, and if you agree to marry your daughter to me, I will give you 5,000 taels of silver now." ”
Qing'er's parents are little people who see money and open their eyes, so after listening to Wu Dafa's words, they immediately expressed their willingness to marry Qing'er to Wu Dafa, and then they accepted 5,000 taels of silver with a smile.
Although Qing'er was ten thousand unwilling to marry Wu Dafa, he was a weak woman after all, and Wu Wencai was a poor student, he did not even have the money to elope with Qing'er, and finally, on a good and auspicious day, Qing'er was forced to marry Wu Dafa and became Wu Dafa's concubine.
After Qing'er married and was forced to marry Wu Dafa, Wu Wencai was discouraged and went to a temple on the mountain 20 miles from Lotus Town to become a monk. After Wu Wencai became a monk for a month, Qing'er learned that he had become a monk. One morning, Qing'er told Wu Dafa that she was going to burn incense in a temple on the mountain. Originally, after Qing'er married Wu Dafa, he was sullen all day, but now Wu Dafa heard that Qing'er was going to burn incense in the temple on the mountain, and he was immediately happy, so he said to Qing'er: "Well, you take a yakuza and two family members to burn incense." ”
In the afternoon, Qing'er took a squirrel and two family members to the temple on the mountain to burn incense. In fact, the purpose of Qing'er going to the temple to burn incense was to find Wu Wencai. After Qing'er finished burning the incense, she said to Ya Gui and the two family members, "I will go to the backyard of the temple to have a look, and you will wait for me here." After Qing'er arrived at the backyard of the temple, she quickly found Wu Wencai. Qing'er cried and told Wu Wencai that she had been forced to marry Wu Dafa. At first, Wu Wencai ignored Qing'er. However, after the time of the little half-pillar incense, he hugged Qing'er and cried softly. Since then, Qing'er has often taken Her Beard and Jia Ding to the temple to burn incense, in fact, her incense burning is fake, and seeing Wu Wen is the truth.
After a long time, the secret of Qing'er going to the temple on the mountain to meet Wu Wencai was known to Wu Dafa. One night, two strange middle-aged men suddenly came to Wu Dafa's house, they tied up Qing'er, and stuffed a rag in Qing'er's mouth, next, they put Qing'er into a large cloth bag, and finally they carried the big cloth bag out of Wu Dafa's door. It turned out that the two middle-aged men were human traffickers, found by Wu Dafa, who sold Qing'er to them for 100 taels of silver. Three days later, Qing'er's body appeared in the field outside the county town, and it turned out that after two middle-aged men took Qing'er away, they quickly sold Qing'er to the lady owner of a brothel in the county town, and that night, Qing'er hit the wall and committed suicide. When the lady boss saw that there was a human life, she quickly asked someone to transport Qing'er's body to the field outside the county town, and then threw Qing'er's body in the field.
The news of Qing'er's death soon reached the town of Lotus, and Qing'er's parents cried bitterly when they learned that Qing'er had died. After they had finished crying, they hired a carriage and went to the field outside the county town to collect the corpses. After transporting Qing'er's body back to Lotus Town, they found Wu Dafa and asked Wu Dafa to take responsibility. However, Wu Dafa told them that Qing'er had sneaked out by himself, so Qing'er's death had nothing to do with him. Qing'er's parents saw that Wu Dafa was not responsible, so they went to the county court to file a complaint. However, Zhixian was a friend of Wu Dafa, and Zhixian said that Qing'er's parents falsely accused Wu Dafa and ordered the servants to drive Qing'er's parents out of the county.
When Qing'er's body was buried, Wu Wencai came to attend Qing'er's funeral. After Wu Wencai attended Qing'er's funeral, he did not return to the temple, and he was still a layman. After Wu Wencai returned to the world, he studied hard every day. Soon, he took the local exam, but he was named Sun Shan. After Wu Wencai's name fell to Sun Mountain, he left Lotus Town and then went to the capital. When he arrived in Beijing, he worked in a restaurant, where he worked and studied. One day, he accidentally met a Beijing official. This Beijing official admired Wu Wencai very much, and he said to Wu Wencai: "Now that the imperial court is employing people, I can recommend you to the imperial court and let you take next year's exam." ”
Time passed, unconsciously, and in the second year, Wu Wencai took the exam out of the box, and as a result, he won high school. Soon after, the imperial court made him a minister of Chincha. After Wu Wencai became the minister of Chincha, he immediately returned to his hometown with a group of subordinates. After he returned to his hometown, he first dismissed Zhixian from his post and investigated it, and then ordered the servants to arrest Wu Dafa and take him to the county. Wu Dafa saw that Wu Wencai had become the minister of Chincha and was very frightened. In the county court, he confessed to the crime of selling Qing'er to two middle-aged men. After Wu Wen learned of Wu Dafa's crime of selling Qing'er to two middle-aged men, he immediately ordered the servants to arrest the two middle-aged men. The two middle-aged men had no idea that Wu Dafa had confessed them, so they did not watch out for the servants to arrest them, and as a result, the servants easily caught them. Subsequently, the brothel owner lady was also caught by the servants and taken to the county court.
The end result was that the two middle-aged men were sentenced to death, and Wu Dafa and the brothel owner lady were sentenced to life imprisonment. Three years later, both Wu Dafa and the brothel owner's wife died in prison.
