On the night of the candle in the newlywed cave, the groom suddenly ran madly and jumped into the river to commit suicide. Everyone thought that they had hit a ghost, and did not want a breeze to blow through the funeral, lifting the red dress under the bride's filial piety, which revealed a shocking conspiracy. This is a true incident broadcast in the "Approaching Science" series in 2006.
During the Daoguang years of the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Sheng, a poor boy in Jiangnan, entered the Li family, and after the chapel, Zhang Sheng and Miss Li were sent to the cave house. Not long after, the relatives and friends who were eating outside the banquet suddenly heard a scream in the cave room, and then they saw Zhang Sheng running out of the house in a shawl.
Everyone hurried out, but it was still a step too late, Zhang Sheng ran to the big river, and without hesitation jumped into the river, the river was turbulent, and zhang Sheng was submerged in an instant. Everyone salvaged for a long time, and there was no one alive, and no corpse was seen in death.
This incident quickly caused a heated discussion among the locals, and many people said that Zhang Sheng had hit a ghost, otherwise who would have gone crazy suddenly on the night of the candle in the cave. The government also intervened, but the investigation made little progress.
A few days later, the fisherman found a disfigured corpse in the water, and the county people asked Miss Li to identify the body, and Miss Li cried as soon as she arrived at the scene, and under her designation, she determined that the dead body was indeed Zhang Sheng, because the corpse was still wearing pants from the wedding day.
When the autopsy was determined that the deceased had drowned, the government asked Miss Li to bring the body back to prepare for burial. Originally, this was the end of the matter, but maybe it was free and fixed in the dark.
On the day of the funeral, the county order adult just passed by, Miss Li covered her face and cried bitterly, when the funeral procession walked over, the county order inadvertently looked back, just at this time a breeze blew through, the county made the adults see an incredible scene: the wind blew up Miss Li's filial piety, which was a red skirt.
Funeral wearing a red dress? This is not in accordance with the rules! Xian Ling originally felt that Zhang's life and death were very strange, and this discovery made him more suspicious of Miss Li. So the county order immediately re-investigated, but also planned to open the coffin autopsy, thinking that Miss Li must be opposed, so he took advantage of the night with his men to secretly dig the grave.
After careful examination, it was found that the deceased did not die of drowning, but was strangled and thrown into the river, and a birthmark was found on the left arm of the deceased. After the reaction of Zhang Sheng's relatives and friends, Zhang Sheng did not have a birthmark. The county order was convinced that the deceased was not Zhang Sheng.
After many investigations, the identity of the deceased was a servant of a large family surnamed Wang in the city, named Zhao Wu. Just when everyone thought that Zhao Wu and Zhang Sheng's affair was just a coincidence, Ya Gong found a wedding hat in Zhao Wu's residence.
Zhao Wu has no plans to get married recently, what does he do when a poor boy is idle and has nothing to do to buy a wedding hat? This made Xian Ling feel that Zhao Wu and Zhang Sheng must have a connection. So he had people secretly monitor the movements of the Li family, and as expected, a few days later, the Li family moved.
In the middle of the night, several people lifted a palanquin from the backyard of the Li family, and the sedan walked crookedly, looking very hard, walking and stopping. It is reasonable to say that if there was only one person sitting inside, the people who monitored the Li family saw this situation and quickly notified the county order, and the county order rushed to find Miss Li sitting inside.
The county order asked for the inspection of the palanquin, but Miss Li obstructed it in every way, and the more she did so, the more suspicious the county order became, so she insisted on inspecting it despite the obstruction. Eventually a mezzanine was found under the palanquin, which was shocking when opened, and inside was a rotting corpse, which was still full of mud.
Miss Li was taken to the court, and the people stole and seized, and Miss Li could only explain the ins and outs of the matter. It turned out that Miss Li's mother did not like Zhang Sheng as her son-in-law, and just the day before the wedding, Miss Li went out and was favored by the rich prince surnamed Wang.
In the evening, the prince found the Li family and gave Mother Li a lot of money, saying that she wanted to marry Miss Li, and Mother Li of course wanted her daughter to marry a rich prince, but the daughter was about to get married, and she could not quit her relatives for no reason. However, Mother Li still let the prince into her daughter's room.
That night, the three of them agreed on a vicious plan: let Zhao Wu, a water-savvy servant of the Wang family, hide in the cave room in advance, poison Zhang Sheng with poisoned wine on the wedding night, and then Zhao Wu put on the groom's clothes and jump into the river in public, while everyone was chasing Zhao Wu, several members of the Li family buried Zhang Sheng's body in the backyard and then bought it.
Later, everything went according to plan, but fearing that Zhao Wu would leak secrets, the prince threw Zhao Wu into the river after strangling him to death, posing as Zhang Sheng's body. In this way, Zhang Sheng died innocently on the wedding night, and the accomplice Zhao Wu was also exterminated.
In the end, both the prince and the li mother and daughter were sentenced to death. The case is closed.
The human heart is not enough for the snake to swallow the elephant, and there is a knife on the head of the color character. The ugly way has not changed since ancient times, but we all know that persecuting others will eventually be equivalent to persecuting ourselves.
You thought you did it seamlessly, but on the day the county ordered the road to meet the funeral procession, he looked back, but at that time, the breeze blew up your red dress, so that the truth of the matter was revealed.
