The world is big, there is no wonder, read the Qing ren notes "Notes on the Rare Book of Advice", saw two bizarre cases, and shared them.
Qing Dynasty Yamen
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="133" >01 Cargo Lang inadvertently discovered</h1>
I once encountered a bizarre murder in Jinzhou, Liaoning.
There was a peasant couple, the husband's name was Li Shibao, a little more than fifty.
The two had a son named Lin Er, who had already performed the crown ceremony, and according to the present, they would have to be twenty years old. So the couple married a relative for him.
A few months after marriage, this Lin Er suddenly died in his bed, and when he found out, he was stiff.
His newlywed wife hurriedly called for someone to call her father-in-law and sister-in-law to come and check it out.
Only to see that Lin Er's lower body clothes were all blood, and then he took off his pants, and the male root was cut off.
Lin Er's family suspected that the new daughter-in-law had done it, so they sued the county yamen.
The county magistrate interrogated the new daughter-in-law three times and questioned her six times, but she suffered from the lack of confession, the lack of a murder weapon, and the fact that the male root that had been cut off could not be found.
The little daughter-in-law only said one sentence: "Lin Er hurried home from outside last night, and when she went to bed, she slept face inside." I thought he was asleep. After shouting for a long time, I didn't wake up, only to learn that the person was dead. ”
The county grand master carefully paid attention to the face and demeanor of the little daughter-in-law, serene and calm, and there was no abnormal look. Thinking that there was no good means, the little daughter-in-law was imprisoned, and there was no way to close the case for a long time.
There are two sides to the conversation. This Lin Er has a brother of the same clan, a cargo man. Shake the rattle, walk the streets, sell some needles and threads and cloth pieces and other small things.
One day, the goods were sold to a small village.
There was a woman who was still fifteen or sixteen years old, and opened the door from her home and called for a stop to buy things. After paying for something, a thick paper bag fell from the ground and left without realizing it.
The cargo man picked it up and opened it to see: the man's words had dried up. The cargo man quickly wrapped it up, put it back in its original position, and walked to the side.
Not long after, the little woman hurried out of the house, found the bag, looked at it, and hurried home to close the door.
Cargo Lang thought about Lin Er in the family, and felt that there might be some connection, so he lived in the village, carefully inquired about the visit, and learned that this woman had always had a bad reputation and wandered.
At this time, Cargo Lang was sure that Lin Er's affairs were almost nine times more likely to be related to this woman.
So the case was reported. Then arrested, interrogated.
The woman confessed.
It turned out that this woman and Lin Er had been in private for a long time, and it could be said that they had been having an affair for a long time, and their feelings were real, and the two of them also vowed to marry each other.
This Lin Er did not dare to tell his parents about this.
Later, after Lin Er married her daughter-in-law, this woman heard about it, and her heart was extremely unbalanced, angry and hateful.
After a few months, Lin Er secretly met with the woman again and continued the dream. After finishing the matter, the woman took scissors and clicked Lin Er's words.
After being cut off, Lin Er endured the pain and hurried home, and died when she returned.
The case was finally revealed.
The county decreed that the woman should be killed and put to death.
ay! I want to say that this woman loves Lin Er, either loves Lin Er as a whole person, or loves Lin Er's lower body. She died not from fornication, but from jealousy.
Foraging donkeys
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="61" >02 The trouble caused by two donkeys</h1>
There was a farmer, Li Liu, who led a donkey to his mother-in-law's house to pick up his wife and go home.
Because there were other things, considering that it was almost time to go home, he let his wife ride home alone on a donkey.
He said to his wife, "You are familiar with this road home, and there is nothing to worry about." I'm going to go to other villages to order the accounts, so I won't go with you." I'll go home the night after I'm done. ”
Li Liu's wife rode slowly on a donkey and met a man with a big belly. This man also rode a donkey to get, get, get.
Coincidentally, the donkey ridden by the two men, a male and a female, after seeing each other, became excited, and it was a joy and a hoof. Both men were thrown off their donkeys.
After a while, the two donkeys turned their tails against each other, unable to stop them.
After all, it is a beast.
The two watched for a while, and gradually their whole body became hot, their faces were red, and the two of them ran to the sorghum field next to them and rolled up.
After the fact.
Li Liu's wife was satisfied. Very smooth.
There were some date cakes in the package he carried, so he took them out and let the man eat them on the way.
The two men got on their own donkeys and said goodbye.
The man took the jujube cake and drove the donkey to find a country inn on the way back. Happened to share a room with Li Liu.
The man casually placed the date cake on the table in the shop.
Li Liu recognized that the jujube cake was made in his mother-in-law's house. I was surprised.
So I set up a set with men, chatted with each other, did not want to see each other as usual, the more we talked, the happier.
Since this is the case, we called again, drank wine together, and then talked.
As soon as a few glasses of wine were drunk, Li Liu asked the man with the big belly, where did this jujube cake come from?
The big-bellied man did not hesitate after drinking, and he told the details of what he encountered on the road.
This is exactly what it feels like for a man to cry.
Li Liu went home silently.
Blame and blame your wife.
The wife committed suicide in shame.
Guys, do you know how Li Liu feels at this time?
Li Liu was angry, hateful and afraid.
He did not dare to tell his parents-in-law's house. I had to buy a coffin and put it on burial, and told my parents-in-law that my wife had fallen ill and died.
The in-laws' family did not suspect it either. Because of his violent illness, he quickly buried the coffin next to a local temple.
Non-text temple, for reference
There was an old monk in the temple, and he faintly heard a voice coming out of the grave. The grave was dug up, the coffin was opened, and the woman was found to have awakened, and it turned out that she was not dead.
The old monk hid the woman in a hut behind the temple.
There was a little monk in the temple who saw it all in his eyes. In the middle of the night, he killed the old monk, and used the original coffin to bury the old monk in the original pit and cover the soil.
Li Liuyue's parents did not know where to hear that their daughter did not die of a violent illness, so they sued the official.
Yamen immediately sent someone to open the museum for autopsy.
The coffin opened, saw an old monk, did not have to think about it, and immediately grabbed the little monk, because the little monk was the most suspicious person.
The big punishment was served, and the little monk had to confess. Sentenced according to the law.
Sentence Li Liu's wife to return to her parents' house. Catch the big belly man, punish him with a rod, and beat the board.
After the fight, I limped home.
