Archer Wu Da

Wu Da, an archer from Qingtian County, went into the mountains with the battalion to catch thieves, and had a dream after returning. In the dream, he was still hunting thieves in the mountains, and the county lieutenant ordered everyone to scatter and search, and he opened his bow and arrows and walked forward cautiously.

Two stories of ancient Zhiwei: archers Wu Da and Wang Yuanmao

A thief suddenly flashed from behind the tree, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a beard, and a spear in his hand. Wu Da didn't have time to pull out his waist knife and was pierced through the abdomen by a spear.

He woke up with a scream, it turned out to be Nan Ke's dream, looked at his abdomen, and there was a scar, the color was light red, as if he had just healed. There is also a dull pain in the abdomen.

He asked for leave to go to the pharmacy for treatment, and the medicine guy at the front desk invited him to the back hall. The doctor raised his head, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a bearded cheek, which was the robber in the dream.

Wu was taken aback and at a loss, and the doctor stood up with a smile and grabbed his hand as if to check the pulse. In the other hand, he drew a short knife and stabbed him in the chest. Wu Da held the doctor's wrist with one and tried his best to resist. However, the doctor was powerful, and the sharp blade approached inch by inch, piercing into the chest.

Wu Da was frightened and desperate, screaming and waking up, it turned out to be a dream within a dream. He wiped the cold sweat and checked his body, but there was no scar, and then he was relieved.

At this time, a group of people hurriedly came in and said, "The new county lieutenant has gathered for roll call." Wu Da was surprised: "The county lieutenant took us to arrest the thieves yesterday, and today he will change the new official, how fast?" The man said: "How can you and I get a glimpse of the secret of the chief's transfer?" ”

Wu Da changed into a military uniform and came to the school grounds, and the rest of the soldiers were already standing. The new county lieutenant looked at him and said angrily: "If you slack off and delay the first assembly, how to enforce military discipline if you don't punish him severely." He didn't listen to Wu Da's explanation, and ordered someone to tie him to a pillar. Wu Da stole his eyes and looked at it, and the new county lieutenant was also full of beards, thick eyebrows and big eyes. There was a burst of arrows, and Wu Da woke up in severe pain, and it was another dream.

Since then, he has nightmares, and in his dreams he is always chased and killed by the person with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Wu Da gradually went crazy and couldn't distinguish between real dreams. From his upside-down narrative, everyone knows the content of the nightmare.

The county lieutenant sent someone to inform his family that Wu Da was taken home and died two days later. Before he died, he suddenly woke up and told his brother about what happened on the day of the arrest.

As he searched that day, he saw a figure flash behind the tree, and with an arrow, the man fell to the ground. Wu Da pulled out his waist knife and approached, only to see rope axes scattered on the ground, and it turned out that he had accidentally injured a woodcutter with big eyes and thick beard.

The woodcutter was speechless, and looked at him with pleading eyes. Wu Da hesitated again and again, thinking of the consequences of accidentally injuring civilians, he ruthlessly hacked the woodcutter to death, and then pulled out the feather arrow, wiped off the blood and put it back in the quiver.

After knowing this incident, some people analyzed that it was the woodcutter's soul who asked for his life, and some people said that it was Wu Da's own guilt.

Wang Yuanmao is very evil

Wang Yuanmao of the Southern Song Dynasty, a native of Quanzhou, worked as a servant in the temple when he was young, and learned the Nanyue language from the old monk. As an adult, he went to Champa (in present-day Vietnam) as a translator. The king left him to teach his son Chinese, and he was appointed as a son-in-law.

Ten years later, Wang Yuanmao returned to China, brought back a wealth of millions of silver, bought officials and negotiated Lang, and married the prime minister and the squire to form a family of children and daughters, and his hands and eyes were all over the sky for a while.

In the fifth year of Chunxi, he hired Li Da as a captain, led 38 sailors and men, and went to Nanyang to trade with goods from China and Earth. Li Daquan was in charge of this trip, and Wang Yuanmao did not go to sea in person.

Li Da and others traveled for ten years, and returned in the fifteenth year of Chunxi, bringing back dozens of times the capital. When he first arrived in the mainland, Li Da's apprentice Lin Mouwang organized a small gang to kill Li Da and 21 other people and embezzled property. In the course of the murder, there was a sailor named Song Liu, who was injured and fell into the water, pleading with his hand on the edge of the boat, and was cut off by Wang and went with the waves. Drifting for seven days, landing at the Chaoyang Boundary.

The assailants parked the big boat in the area of Luofu Mountain, removed half of their belongings and hid them, and hired a small boat to return to Quanzhou. Wang Yuanmao said: "The ship suffered a hurricane, and most of its property and personnel were lost. Wang Yuanmao was well-informed and doubtful that if he was shipwrecked, there should be no money left. He didn't say anything, and set the two of them up for wine as usual.

At night, he dreamed that Li Da and others came to complain, saying that they were killed by King Lin and others. Wang Yuanmao asked again, and the two told the truth. He also said: "Now there are pearls, spices and other goods worth hundreds of thousands of taels on the big ship, and if they are reported to the officials, they will be confiscated." Wang Yuanmao pondered for a long time, because of the hundreds of thousands of taels of goods, nodded and acquiesced.

The new promotion is called Zhang Xun, and he is not very proficient in business. Wang Yuanmao bribed Zhang Xun's subordinate Wu Min to ask the government not to investigate the matter thoroughly, and then divided the profits equally. Zhang Xun and Wu Min guessed that there was a hidden evil, but under the huge bribe, they did not pursue it.

Song Liu, who was lucky enough to escape, begged all the way and returned home in September of that year. The father learned what happened and took his son to Zhang Xun to report the case. Zhang Xun sent the case to Nan'an County to deal with it. Wang and Lin got the news and fled. Nan'an County ordered to figure out the boss's intentions, determined that it was an accident, and ruled that Li Da was the main responsible person and had drowned, and was not investigated. Wang Moulin is a father-in-law and is jointly and severally liable, but he has fled.

The law of the time stipulated that in the event of a crime, the person who escaped should be dealt with as the first evil. Since it was determined that it was for the accident, those accomplices were not detained and interrogated, so it was over.

Song Liu's father and son continued to report to the appeasement envoy Uncle Ma Hui. The pacification envoy attached great importance to this case, and after basically figuring out the ins and outs, he arranged for the Jinjiang County verdict and instructed: "Wang Yuanmao knows about the cover-up, and it is unforgivable." ”

Wang and Lin fled to Xianyou County, encountered more than a dozen unjust souls led by Li Da, tied two villains to a tree, and were captured by Xianyou County archers.

The case was cleared and the accomplices were arrested. reported to the imperial court, Zhang Xun, Wu Min, and Wang Yuanmao were all imprisoned. Wang and Lin were tortured and the accomplices were beheaded.

Before Zhang Xun could announce the verdict, when he was changing prisons, he saw a group of unjust souls rushing in front of him and falling into the water and dying. The officials in charge of shipping in Annam County were dismissed, and Wu Min was assassinated.

Wang Yuanmao was detained in a different place for several months, and he was released. He returned home in a sedan chair, and on the way, he saw Li Da leading a group of victims to block the road, and said: "You know the truth but you cover up the murderer, and hell is looking for you to confront you." Wang Yuanmao wailed for mercy and then died. Although the palanquin drivers didn't see Li Da and the others' unjust souls, they clearly heard their conversation.

The second story is from "Yi Jianzhi", the space of the long-distance ship is relatively isolated, and it is prone to major crimes. I remember a report that in 2010, the Lu Rongyu 2682 fishing boat went to sea with 33 crew members, and a year later it floated at sea and was towed back by the fishery administration boat, only 11 crew members were left on board, and the remaining 22 people were killed.
