During the Wu Zetian period of the Tang Dynasty, there was a businessman named Tu Zhuancai, who often bought some small animals to release, and also did some small good deeds, such as repairing roads and bridges, and helping several poor people who couldn't survive, so he won the name of a good man and was deeply respected by people.
On this day, Tu Zhuancai wore festive clothes and took people to greet his relatives. His wife has long since died, and there is only one concubine by his side to take care of his daily life. Not long ago, he helped a poor family, and this poor family was grateful to Dade and was willing to marry his daughter to him as a house-filler.
The daughter of this family is named Rong'er, who has just turned fifteen years old, and she is so beautiful that she looks like a fairy descending from the earth, but everyone who has seen it can't help but praise it. Her family used to live a stable life, but an accident broke this stability, and her family fell into poverty ever since.
Yu Rong'er's father's surname is Ran, and he is a good friend with a surname. The surname Guan is full of pockmarks, so he is called Guan Mazi, he found the surname Ran, saying that the cloth in the state city is cheap, and he wants to partner with him to purchase a boatload of cloth back, and he can make a lot of money. The surnamed Ran shook his head and said, "I don't have the capital, forget it, don't want to get rich." ”
Guan Mazi said: "The opportunity to make a fortune has come, you can't help but seize it, don't you want your wife and children to live a good life? ”
The surnamed Ran smiled wryly and said: "My relatives and friends are all poor families, none of them have made a fortune, who will borrow them?" Guan Mazi thought for a while and said: "That's it, I have a friend who has money at home, I will guarantee you and ask him to borrow a thousand taels of silver, no interest, just need to turn around for a while." ”
Under the repeated encouragement of Guan Mazi, the surnamed Ran finally moved his heart and went with him to find his friends. The friend looked at Guan Mazi's face, didn't say a word, took out a thousand taels of silver, and promised no interest. Both parties sign the note for a period of one month.
Early the next morning, Guan Mazi rented a boat and went to the state city with the surname Ran. That night, they moored their ships in shallow bays. Who knew that in the middle of the night, a few small strokes suddenly came, and a few masked people jumped up, not only snatching the silver, but also seriously injuring the surnamed Ran.
The surnamed Ran was lying at home to recuperate, the injury was not yet healed, and the debt collector came to the door, and the one-month deadline had expired, and he wanted to pay back the money. Guan Mazi rushed to hear the news and begged his friend for a period of time, but his friend turned his face and didn't recognize anyone, so he took out the loan and said: "It's okay if you don't pay back the money, and use his daughter as a countervail." With that, with a wave of his hand, several people rushed up and dragged Rong Er out of the door.
Yu Rong'er was so frightened that she lost her face and cried, her mother also rushed up and pulled her, Guan Mazi also pleaded on the side, and Yu Rong'er's two younger brothers were so frightened that they cried, and the surnamed Ran was lying on the bed and couldn't move, and begged the creditor to raise his noble hand. For a while, the house was a mess.
At this moment, Tu Zhuancai came, and when he learned of the situation, he said to the creditor: "Don't force them, I will pay the debt, and wait a while, you will go to my house and get the money." The creditor said yes and took the man away. Tu Zhuancai walked in and reassured the surnamed Ran not to worry, and to recuperate with peace of mind.
Qiu Rong'er's mother pulled her three children, knelt in front of Tu Zhuancai and kowtowed, thanked him for his help, and said that she would return the money she earned in the future. Tu Zhuancai said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry first, it's important to recuperate the head first." ”
After that, Tu Zhuancai came to visit the surnamed Ran every now and then, and brought money and rice to help his family. The surname Ran wants to take medicine, and the money accumulated at home has long been used up, and the money and rice sent by Tu Zhuancai are tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow, and the surname Ran is often moved to tears.
Guan Mazi said to the surnamed Ran: "I think Tu Zhuancai is a good person, after his wife died, he has not renewed the string, it is better to marry his niece Rong'er to him to fill the house, so that you don't have to worry about paying back his money, and you can also get light and live a good life." At the beginning, the surnamed Ran felt that Tu Zhuancai's eldest daughter was nearly twenty years old and inappropriate, but he couldn't help but encourage Guan Mazi again and again, and finally agreed.
So, Guan Mazi became a matchmaker, and made a marriage contract. Tu Zhuancai not only didn't want the 1,000 taels of silver, but also sent 800 taels of silver and two silk cloths as a dowry.
After a while, Tu Zhuancai set a good day, and this led to the opening scene, he wore festive clothes to greet his relatives. As soon as the auspicious time arrives, the bride wears a red hijab, gets on the sedan chair, and the wedding procession goes back.
After a while, they came to the bank of the big river and needed to get on a boat to cross the river. The bride got off the sedan chair, the sedan chair bearer carried the sedan chair to the boat, and the groom Tu Zhuancai supported the bride and stepped on the board.
At this moment, two big herring fish suddenly floated up, pushed the boat, and the board fell into the river at once, and Tu Zhuancai and Qiu Rong'er fell into the river at the same time.
The crowd was shocked and called for the boatman to go into the water to save the people. The boatman was about to jump, but suddenly stopped, only to see a big herring biting Tu Zhuancai's clothes and dragging it vigorously under the water, setting off a huge wave. Another big herring carried Rong Er and went downstream, and after a while, only a small black dot remained.
The boatman had already recognized that these two big herring were released by Tu Zhuancai a few years earlier, and he was at the scene when they were released. He really couldn't understand why the big herring fish would take revenge, so he hesitated and didn't dare to go into the water. Under the repeated urging of everyone, the boatman picked up the penny and jumped into the river, holding the penny to hit the big herring, and the big herring had to let go of its mouth and sank to the bottom of the river and disappeared. The boatman put Tu Zhuancai on the boat to control the water, and after a while, Tu Zhuancai woke up, dragged and cried and said: "I shouldn't have bought the big herring and released it, now they will take revenge." ”
One day five years ago, Tu Zhuancai was rushing to the market in a small boat, and soon after he set off, he saw a group of people surrounding the shore, and they let out exclamations from time to time. He asked the boatman to approach in a small boat, only to find that the old fisherman had caught two big herrings, each of which was more than 100 catties.
The old fisherman said happily: "Originally, there was only one female net, and it took three nets to drag the big herring with no strength." But this one of the male ones was automatically sent to the door, and I caught it too. Everyone sighed that the big herring husband and wife were deeply in love, and some people said to Tu Zhuancai: "It is not easy for the big herring to grow so big, you are a good person, and you are not short of money, just buy them and release them, it can be regarded as doing good deeds and accumulating virtue." ”
Everyone followed suit, Tu Zhuancai nodded with a smile, took out the money to buy two big herring fish and released them, winning a round of applause from everyone.
It's just that no one expected that these two big herring fish would disrupt Tu Zhuancai's marriage, and now the whereabouts of the bride and Rong'er are unknown. Kind-hearted people and boatmen searched downstream along the river bank for more than ten miles, but there was no trace of Yu Rong'er.
Tu Zhuancai had no choice but to give up and give twenty yuan to the Ran family to appease their family, and the Ran family had no choice but to accept their fate and bury their thoughts about their daughter in their hearts.
After a while, Tu Zhuancai bought a tavern in the town and reopened it. On the day of the opening, he was bitten by a wild wolf.
We have to start from the beginning. There is a restaurant in the town, the shopkeeper's surname is Qin, and the business is very good. Suddenly, one day, a foreigner came and took out 200 yuan, saying that he wanted to follow the surname Qin to learn art, and he also wanted to open a restaurant in his hometown. The one surnamed Qin accepted him and said that the deadline was half a year.
Suddenly, one day, there was an old man drinking in the restaurant, fainted on the spot, surnamed Qin quickly sent him to the hospital for treatment, the doctor diagnosed that the old man was poisoned, fortunately delivered in time, no life.
The old man threatened to go to the official mansion to complain, and the surnamed Qin hurriedly took out a sum of money to appease the old man. The surnamed Qin put his mind at ease, thinking that this matter was over, but three days later, several errand officers suddenly came and arrested him to the county office.
It turned out that the outsider who studied art sued him, saying that he harbored evil intentions and poisoned the wine, and that the old man was the poison surnamed Qin, and the poison was hidden in the counter.
The surname Qin was wronged, but the servants did find poison in the counter, so the county order ordered the board to be beaten until the surname Qin confessed. Poor surnamed Qin, since he was born, he has not suffered so much, and in the end he couldn't stand it anymore and confessed indiscriminately.
Who knew that the county order did not pronounce the crime of the surname Qin, but took him to the study and whispered to him: "As long as you take out five thousand taels of silver, the county will exonerate you from the crime and release you from charge." Of course, the surnamed Qin didn't want to be convicted, so he asked the family to raise money. However, the family could only scrape together more than 3,000 taels of silver, and they really couldn't think of a way to do the rest. The one surnamed Qin gritted his teeth and decided to sell the wine building and let his family find Tu Zhuancai to buy it.
Why did the surnamed Qin ask his family to find Tu Zhuancai? Because a year ago, Tu Zhuancai had talked to the person surnamed Qin about buying a restaurant, but he rejected it outright, and it was only because Tu Zhuancai had the intention to buy it that the family surnamed Qin would let his family look for him.
Who knew that Tu Zhuancai said politely: "Oh, at this time and that time, I really wanted to buy a restaurant, but I don't plan to buy it now." The Qin family's face suddenly showed a look of disappointment. I only heard Tu Zhuancai say: "In this way, you put out the sign first, if there is really no one to buy, and then come to me, you are facing difficulties, and I can't stand idly by." ”
The Qin family had no choice but to put out a sign with a price tag of five thousand taels. However, no one asked for three days, and the county government was in a hurry. There was no way, the Qin family had no choice but to go to Tu Zhuancai again.
Tu Zhuancai said with a bitter face: "If you really want to sell, I will help you buy the restaurant." The Qin family was overjoyed and thanked them again and again, but Tu Zhuancai sighed and said, "However, I am short of money, so I can only bid two thousand taels of silver." The Qin family was immediately blindsided, so they had to go to the county jail to find a report surnamed Qin.
The surnamed Qin was often beaten by the cell boss, and he wished he would go out earlier, so he said, "You let him add a little more and sell it to him." The Qin family went to Tu Zhuancai again, and in the end, Tu Zhuancai added a little and bought the restaurant at a price of two thousand three hundred taels of silver. After the surnamed Qin came out, he took his family back to his hometown to recuperate, and the outsider was long gone.
Tu Zhuancai renovated the restaurant and chose a good day to open. On the morning of the opening, he had just opened the door of the restaurant when a wild wolf suddenly rushed over and tore off a piece of the meat on his calf.
At first, Tu Zhuancai thought it was someone's dog nearby, but it wasn't until the wild wolf bit him that he found out that it was a wild wolf, and he couldn't help crying: "You guy who doesn't know how to be grateful, I shouldn't have saved you in the first place!"
It turned out that this wild wolf was also released by Tu Zhucai. It was still four years ago, Tu Zhuancai rushed to the market, and met a hunter in the market, who was selling prey, and among them was a wild wolf, not yet dead, dying.
Tu Zhuancai wanted to make a winter jacket, and planned to buy two wild wolves to find someone to skin. As he was rummaging through the wild animals, the dying wolf suddenly raised his head and barked, so frightened that he almost urinated.
The shouting attracted many onlookers, and they couldn't help but talk about it. Someone recognized Tu Zhuancai and quipped: "Hey, aren't you that great good man?" I heard that you have bought many small animals for release, so why don't you buy this wild wolf and release it?" Another person answered, "Yes, this wild wolf has a great life, and it has never died, maybe it is just waiting for you to save it." ”
Everyone said a word, Tu Zhuancai was embarrassed to buy a wolf skin, so he bought this wild wolf that was not dead yet, and asked someone to send it to the hospital for treatment in a wheelbarrow. After the doctor applied medicine to the wound, Tu Zhuancai asked someone to drag him home to recuperate. When the wolf had fully recovered, he released the wolf. On the day of his release, Tu Zhuancai called the villagers to testify, and many passers-by witnessed the scene.
What people never expected was that this wild wolf actually ran to the town and bit off a piece of meat on Tu Zhuancai's body. Everyone heard the exclamation, and hurriedly came over to drive away the wolf, and some people had witnessed the moment of release, and recognized this wild wolf, and they couldn't help but feel upset for Tu Zhuancai. The wolf ran away with the meat in his mouth, and disappeared in an instant.
Tu Zhuancai had no choice but to go to the hospital to heal his wounds, and the opening of the restaurant had to be handed over to someone else. After the news spread, everyone looked at each other, and couldn't guess why the wild wolf came to bite and slaughter the wealth?
After some time, Tu Zhuancai's injuries healed. That night, he was sitting at home when Lao Cheng from the neighboring village came to the door and said with a bitter face: "Brother Tu, you can do it and buy my field." ”
Lao Cheng's family has more than 300 acres of fertile land, and the location is very good, just across the river, across the river from the fertile land of Tu Zhuancai. His family's fertile land is in a good location and there is no shortage of water, so there is a good harvest every year. So, why did Lao Cheng find Tu Zhuan to sell his land? This matter has to start from the beginning.
Not long ago, Lao Cheng's son went to the state city to play, and was tied up by several people on the way, took off a piece of clothing and threw it into the courtyard of the Cheng family, which contained a letter asking the Cheng family to send three thousand taels of silver. The Cheng family didn't have much money to accumulate, and they could only come up with a thousand taels of silver, so in a hurry, they released the news and bought some fertile land to save the emergency.
At that time, the market was more than 20 taels of silver for one acre of fertile land, and the Cheng family planned to sell 100 acres of fertile land. However, after the news was released, no one cared about it all day, and in a hurry, Lao Cheng had no choice but to come to Tu Zhuancai. Because two years earlier, Tu Zhuancai once proposed a price of 30 taels of silver per mu of land to buy all the good land of the Cheng family, but the Cheng family did not agree.
After listening to Lao Cheng's words, who knew that Tu Zhuan Cai didn't raise his head, and said, "I don't want it now, you can go back." Lao Cheng was anxious, knelt down in front of Tu Zhuancai, and begged him to save his son.
Tu Zhuancai hurriedly helped him up, and said with a kind smile: "Okay, since your family is in trouble, I have the right to help, but I have one request, that is, to buy all the good land, not a single acre." ”
Lao Cheng was taken aback and said: "However, my family has no good land, what kind of life do you have?" Tu Zhuancai said with a smile: "You can't say that, you can change careers to other businesses, and I won't lie to you, just according to the market price, not a penny will be less." Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force you. Lao Cheng was in a hurry to use the money, so he had to grit his teeth and agree.
That night, Lao Cheng took all the title deeds, wrote the resale papers, and went home with the silver. Early the next morning he took the money and went to redeem his son.
Tu Zhuancai happily crossed the river with people to see the newly bought fertile land, walked on the ridge, and suddenly a big snake came out and bit Tu Zhuancai. Everyone was so frightened that they fled in all directions, and the sharp-eyed people had already recognized that this snake was released by Tu Zhuancai.
Everyone carried Tu Zhuancai to the medical hall, and Tu Zhuancai complained with a bitter face: "I knew this was the case, why should I not release this big snake in the first place." Someone couldn't help laughing and said, "Big brother, why do you have such a bad idea? Within a year, you were bitten by wild animals three times, and they were all released by you, don't you say strange?"
Tu Zhuancai sighed and said no more. Another person said: "When the snake was released, I was still there, and I saw it with my own eyes, and speaking of which, it has been two or three years since this incident. ”
Three years ago, Tu Zhuancai visited relatives, and saw a group of people gathered under a tree on the way, he became curious, squeezed into the crowd to see, it turned out that a strong man was about to skin snakes. This morning, he was working in the fields, and caught this great snake, which was more than seven feet long, and was ready to kill it, drink wine, and eat meat.
Someone recognized Tu Zhuancai and quipped: "The great good man is here, this snake has been saved." Tu Zhuancai smiled and said, "I will comply with the will of the people, buy this snake and release it." "Immediately negotiated the price with the big man, bought the big snake and released it.
No one expected that now the big snake would bite his benefactor Tu Zhuancai. The doctor bleed Tu Zhuancai, smeared medicinal powder on the wound, and he returned home to recuperate for more than ten days before he could get out of bed and walk around.
On this day, Tu Zhuancai went to the market to buy things and saw a group of people in front of him. It turned out that a Taoist priest from Youfang came and was teaching the concept of retribution for good and evil. When someone saw Tu Zhuancai squeezing in, he retorted: "It is a lie to have good and evil rewarded, I don't believe you ask this great good man, he has been bitten by a wild animal released three times in a row, where can we talk about good and evil being rewarded? ”
People who have many mouths take the trouble to talk about what happened to Tu Zhuancai. The Taoist priest looked at Tu Zhuancai, suddenly laughed, and said, "He is a yin and a yang, and he has been punished." If it weren't for the gratitude of these wild creatures, he would have died a long time ago. ”
Daoist You continued: "This person pretends to be a good person on the surface, but in fact, he has done all the bad things secretly. He fell in love with the beautiful little girl, instructed people to instigate the little girl's father to do business, and led people to rob the money on the way. In order to buy a restaurant, he bought outsiders to poison him. In order to buy fertile land, he instructed people to kidnap other people's sons. All of this is secretly controlled by him, and he is actually the most poisonous person in the world. ”
Tu Zhuancai's face suddenly changed greatly, squeezed out of the crowd, and fled. Only then did people suddenly realize that there was a lot of discussion. The news spread instantly, but the matter was told by Daoist You Fang, and there was no evidence, so no one pursued it. However, people no longer call Tu Zhuancai a good person, and scold others behind their backs.
After half a year in this way, an official sedan chair suddenly came to the Ran family, and the leader rode a high-headed horse and wore an official uniform, which turned out to be the newly appointed county commander of the county. A lady walked down from the official sedan chair, it was Yu Rong'er.
It turned out that on that day, Yu Rong'er was carried by a big herring, and when he arrived more than ten miles downstream, he happened to meet a small boat, and there was a scholar on the small boat who was rushing to take the exam, named Lu Yuanhe. When he saw that the scenery was beautiful, he asked the boatman to move slowly and enjoy the scenery along the way, so he was overtaken by the big herring.
Lu Yuanhe found a woman floating in and hurriedly asked the boatman to fish it up. Qiu Rong'er didn't choke on the water, but fainted in fright, and soon woke up and cried about what happened to her. Lu Yuanhe wanted to send her back, begging Rong'er to cry, she didn't want to marry a man who was nearly twenty years older than her, but now she finally escaped from the tiger's mouth, and she couldn't go back, so she asked Lu Yuanhe to take her away. Lu Yuanhe has not yet married, and he has long been impressed by Qiao Zhen'er's beauty, so he promised to take her to the capital with him.
Along the way, the two were affectionate, lived together, and became husband and wife privately. Later, Lu Yuanhe was on the list, was named Jinshi, and was actually awarded the position of county Cheng, which happened to be the hometown of Yu Rong'er. He first took Qiu Rong'er home to save his relatives, officially worshiped heaven and earth, and then took Qiu Rong'er to office. Before taking office, take her back to her parents' home.
The surname Ran was overjoyed when he saw that his daughter had been regained, and he had a big feast, and relatives and friends came to congratulate him. During the banquet, everyone talked about the Ran family being deceived by Tu Zhuancai, and Lu Yuanhe was furious and said that he must investigate the matter and bring Tu Zhuancai to justice.
A few days later, Lu Yuanhe sent someone to summon Tu Zhuancai, but found that the Tu family was holding a funeral, and it turned out that Tu Zhuancai was dead. He heard that Qiu Rong'er was married to the county Cheng, and the county Cheng wanted to investigate his crimes, so he was so frightened that he hanged himself and ended his life of crime.
Although Tu Zhuancai was dead, Lu Yuanhe continued to investigate the matter, arrested all the suspects, and interrogated them clearly. It turned out that Guan Mazi was bribed by Tu Zhuancai, and he came forward to instigate the surname Ran to do business, and he came forward to instigate the marriage of the surnamed Ran, so that Tu Zhuancai successfully made a marriage contract. Those who robbed the money surnamed Ran were arrested.
In the case of buying a restaurant, outsiders were also arrested and admitted that he was poisoned. The county order was instructed by Tu Zhuancai to deliberately bend into a trick, because the county order had been transferred, Lu Yuanhe reported the case, and the county order was finally dismissed. In the case of buying land, it was also clear that those who kidnapped people were arrested, and they were all bought by Tu Zhuancai, thus forcing Lao Cheng to sell his land.
All of them have been duly punished, and the dowry for Rong Er will not be returned, and the right to be surnamed Ran's medical expenses. The Tu family returned the restaurant and the Cheng family's land, and both families were grateful to the county Chenglu Yuanhe.
At this point, people were surprised, and they couldn't imagine that the Taoist priest You Fang seemed to see with his own eyes, and he knew everything about what Tu Zhuancai did, so they believed that people were doing it, and the sky was watching, and they could hide it from people, but they couldn't hide it from the sky. Of course, they can't hide it from those spiritual animals, otherwise, they wouldn't have taken the charge of revenge and punished Tu Zhucai.
There is no shortage of hypocrites in the world, who pretend to be kind on the surface, but in fact, they are very bad in their bones, and they are secretly doing unspeakable things. To be a man, we must maintain the true character of kindness, and true kindness does not lie in how many good deeds we have done, but in the warmth in our hearts.
