Li Quanwen is a rich man, 45 years old, and his family is in a market town called Lotus Town. When Li Quanwen was 20 years old, he married a woman named Wang Xiuying. However, he and Wang Xiuying have been related for many years and have not had children. Wang Xiuying persuaded him to take a concubine, but he insisted on not taking a concubine. When Li Quanwen was 42 years old, Wang Xiuying became pregnant, which could spoil Li Quanwenle. A few months later, Wang Xiuying gave birth to a daughter, and Li Quanwen gave her a name called Li Xiangcao.
Li Quanwen opened a shop in Lotus Town. One morning, he said to the guys in the store, "I'm going to the province to get a batch of goods, and after I'm gone, you must take good care of the business in the store." After listening to his words, the guy said, "Boss, you can rest assured, after you leave, I will definitely take care of the business in the store." In the afternoon, Li Quanwen left Lotus Town.
Five days later, Li Quanwen walked to the foot of a big mountain, and it was almost evening, and Li Quanwen decided to stay. Soon, he entered a small village, and after a short time, he stayed at the home of an old man named Zhao Laogen. Zhao Laogen's family was the only one in Zhao Laogen, and his wife died three years ago. Zhao Laogen only had one daughter, married thousands of miles away, and only came back to visit Zhao Laogen once in a few years.
Zhao Laogen was very kind to Li Quanwen and specially burned hare meat for Li Quanwen. Due to fatigue, Li Quanwen went to sleep after dinner. Late at night, Li Quanwen was awakened by a scream of women. After dawn, Li Quanwen asked Zhao Laogen if he had heard the woman's screams late last night? Zhao Laogen told Li Quanwen that not long ago, a female beggar came up from a small village, and it looked like a female beggar was about eighteen or nineteen years old and looked very beautiful. The villagers saw that the female beggar was pitiful and gave her something to eat. As a result, the female beggar saw that the villagers were very kind to her and did not plan to leave. In the evening, she went to a grass hut in the field outside the small village. The hut was built by a villager who used to herd sheep in the field, but when the villager stopped raising sheep, the hut was empty. Late that night, the villagers suddenly heard the screams of the women. The villagers got up one after another, and then followed the place where the woman's screams came from, only to find that it was the screams of the female beggars in the grass hut. Since then, every night, the female beggars have screamed in the grass hut.
After listening to Zhao Laogen's words, Li Quanwen said, "I went to the grass hut to see the female beggar. Li Quanquan finished speaking and walked out of Zhao Laogen's home. Next, Li Quanwen first walked to the field, and then walked to the grass house. He looked into the grass hut and saw that the beggar was still sleeping. Li Quanwen said in his heart, this female beggar is really pitiful, I want to help her. Li Quanwen finished speaking in his heart, went into the grass hut, woke up the female beggar, and then took the female beggar to the threshing ground in the small village. Next, Li Quanwen shouted. When the villagers heard his cries, they came to the threshing ground. Li Quanwen said to the villagers: "This female beggar is very poor, I want to help her, so let's give you 200 taels of silver, and you will take her to the big medical hall for treatment, because I have to do business and I don't have time to take her to the big medical center." After listening to Li Quanwen's words, the villagers said that Li Quanwen was a great benevolent person and would receive blessings in the future. In the end, After Li Quanwen left a silver ticket for 200 taels to the villagers, he left the small village. Before leaving the small village, Li Quanwen left his name and home address at the request of the villagers.
A month later, Li Quanwen returned to his home in Lotus Town. When he returned home, he told Wang Xiuying about the fact that he had left 200 taels of silver for the villagers in the small village. After listening to his words, Wang Xiuying said, "You did the right thing. ”
Time passed, and before I knew it, five years had passed. In the same year, a group of bandits appeared on the mountain 30 miles from the town of Lotus. One day at noon, Li Quanwen returned home from the store to eat, and after he entered the house, he found that Li Xiangcao was not at home, so he quickly asked Wang Xiuying why Li Xiangcao was not at home. After listening to his words, Wang Xiuying said: "In the morning, Vanilla said to go to the shop to find you, didn't she go to the store?" Li Quanwen said: "She did not come to the store at all." Next, the couple hurried out to look for Li Xiangcao. However, they searched the whole town of Lotus and did not find Li Xiangcao.
The next morning, a beggar sent a letter to Li Quanwen. The beggar told Li Quanwen that it was a stranger who asked him to send the letter to Li Quanwen. Li Quanwen opened the letter and looked at it, and found that the letter was written by the bandit boss on the mountain. The bandit boss told Li Quanwen in the letter that now Li Xiangcao was in his hands and asked Li Quanwen to bring 3,000 taels of silver to the bandit cottage to redeem people the day after tomorrow.
The morning after tomorrow, Li Quanwen went to the bandit cottage with 3,000 taels of silver. After he gave 3,000 taels of silver to the bandit boss, the bandit boss gave him Li Xiangcao. After Li Quanwen brought Li Xiangcao home, he said to Wang Xiuying: "Xiuying, in the future, you can't let Vanilla leave you three steps." Wang Xiuying said: "You can rest assured, in the future, I will definitely not let Vanilla leave my side." ”
Three months later, the officers and men went up the mountain to suppress the bandits and wiped out the bandits on the mountain. 10 days after the officers and soldiers withdrew, a boss in Lotus Town went to the county to inform him, and he told ZhiXian that Li Quanwen had funded 3,000 taels of silver for bandits on the mountain. Zhixian immediately ordered the servants to arrest Li Quanwen to the county court, and then, without asking any questions, said that Li Quanwen was a bandit and sentenced Li Quanwen to death, and three days later asked for beheading.
The morning before Li Quanwen was about to be beheaded, Minister Chincha came down to the county with his wife and a large group of men. Next, Minister Chincha said to Zhixian: "Li Quanwen, who was about to be beheaded, was innocent, and when the bandits kidnapped his daughter, he took 3,000 taels of silver and went to the bandit cottage to redeem his daughter." After listening to the words of minister Chincha, Zhixian hurriedly said: "The subordinate officials have made a wrong judgment, and the subordinate officials immediately order the servants to release Li Quanwen." ”
It turned out that the wife of the minister of Chincha was the beggar girl. In that year, after Li Quanwen left 200 taels of silver for the villagers in the small village, the villagers sent the female beggar to the big medical hall for treatment. The second year after the beggar returned to normal, she married a lifter. Later, the people went to the capital to take the exam and won the title. After he won the title, he stayed in the capital and became an official. Soon after, he took the beggars to the capital. Not long ago, the emperor made him a Chincha minister to patrol all over the place. When he took the female beggar and a large group of his men to the county where Li Quanwen was located, the female beggar took him to the town of Lotus to find Li Quanwen. The people in the town of Lotus told him and the female beggar that Li Quanwen had been sentenced to death. So he hurriedly led the beggars and a large group of his men to the county court.
Shortly after Li Quanwen was released, Zhixian was dismissed from his post and investigated.
