In Bao Zheng's life, countless grievances have been resolved, and all the injustices suffered by the people have been resolved, and the people can be said to be extremely sought after by him. And Bao Zheng also has this very interesting "couplet to solve the case" story in solving the case, the bride hanged herself the day after the wedding, Bao Zheng said that the couplet will be posted on the street, and the person who can be linked must be the murderer, which is very magical.
In the first year of Qingli (1041), Bao Zheng served as the prefect of Duanzhou, and his honest and honest conduct began to be revealed. The officialdom of the imperial court is always the most frequent place for corruption and bribery, and as an official position like the prefect, Bao Zheng will inevitably encounter those who come to offer bribes, but he sternly refuses, and the bribe-givers all return home.
In the more than 20 years he has been an official, he has always taken helping the people to avenge their grievances and clean air as his goal, and has always implemented it, and finally became what people call "iron-faced selfless Bao Qingtian".
When Bao Zheng visited the people in his later years, he found that a local family had a strange case in which the young master and his fiancée both committed suicide.
After some visits, it turned out that the couple had an accident on the second day of marriage, the woman hung the beam directly, and the man jumped into the river to follow the bride.
This family is extremely sad, and there is no explanation for suicide, but Bao Zheng, who has been handling the case for many years, feels that it is not so simple.
After in-depth understanding, Bao Zheng found that the bride was still a well-known talented girl.
On the day of marriage, with the festive atmosphere, she wrote down the upper link of "lighting the lamp and going to the pavilion to attack the book" to assess her husband, and only the lower link could enter the cave room. At this time, the bridegroom had already drunk heavily with his guests, and was so drunk that he could not match this couplet at all, so he went to the study that night to spend the night.
The next day, the bride was very happy to come and praise her husband for the good matching, which immediately became a problem. After some entanglement, I realized that there was someone else in the cave room, which was a great shame in the old society.
The grief-stricken woman immediately ran out of the house crying, and when her husband caught up with her, she felt that she had broken her innocence and committed suicide by hanging herself, and the man was so sad that he threw himself into the river and died.
In the old tradition, the husband and wife could not see each other until they got married, and this mastermind behind the scenes also took advantage of this.
Bao Zheng had an idea at the moment, he pasted the couplet written by the bride on the yamen, and said that whoever was worthy of the couplet would reward him with an official position, which caused a sensation among the people for a while. Sure enough, a description that was consistent with the bride's description of "moving chairs and leaning on tongs to admire the moon" appeared, and finally the prisoner appeared, and he was immediately taken into custody by the yamen.
