Qing Dynasty Zhiwei collection "Night Tan Suilu" - Zhang Wu

Zhang Wu

  There was a Zhixian who suffered from phobia and was frightened day and night. He often gathered dozens of people and lit candles all night to guard him in a circle, but he still woke up several times a night, so he was sick for more than half a month. There is a neighbor named Zhang Wu, who is in his forties and sells tofu for a living, and generally gets up to grind tofu on the fifth.

One night, when he was not on time, the fourth one got up and asked his wife to make tofu. The wife said, "Isn't it too early?" Zhang Wu said: "If you don't work hard for a day, you won't be able to eat enough in a day." It is also a good thing to do it early and sell early. You get up and light the lamp, and I'll go out and untie my hands first and come back. So he opened the door to the alley, and was about to climb the pit when suddenly two people passed him and called out, "Zhang Wu has come here!" Zhang Wu thought that he had always known them, so he walked with them to the mouth of the hutong and stood under the eaves of the house together. Looking at the two people carefully, they did not know each other, each wearing a green coat, a green headband, a red hat, and a Zhu ticket in his hand, resembling a servant in the yamen. Ergong said to Zhang Wu, "There is one thing to trouble you, don't prevaricate." Zhang Wu asked, "What's the matter?" The second servant said, "There is no need to ask the root of the matter, just go with us." "When you're done, head east." Zhang Wu was very reluctant in his heart, but his feet did not listen to life, and he still stumbled and followed.

  After going around the street market and coming to the Zhixian Yamen, I saw six people standing under the gate in front of the wooden stakes, wearing armor, all eight or nine feet high. The second servant did not dare to walk over, so he turned to a water cave behind the yamen and let Zhang Wu advance the hole. Zhang Wu refused, and the second servant pushed him from behind, and Zhang Wu unconsciously had people inside the wall. The second servant also followed in, experienced several high walls, used this method, and finally came to the Zhixian bedroom. The window light was very bright, and the two sent Zhang Wu to spy. I saw Zhixian moaning on the bed, and there were six or seven women sitting in the corners of the bed and behind their feet. The floor was covered with blankets, and there were eight or nine people sitting on blankets together.

Zhang Wu returned to the second service after looking at it, and the second service also went to see it. At this time, the five more will be exhausted, and the two servants are very frightened, and they frequently spy on each other. After a while, the county order was slightly quieter, and all the men and women were unusually tired, some hanging their heads and snoring, and some stretching their feet to sleep. Ergong jumped up happily, hurriedly took an iron chain, handed it to Zhang Wu, and said, "You quickly enter the house, tie the chain around Zhixian's neck, don't be afraid, and finally lead him out." Zhang Wu asked, "He is Zhi County, the chief." What kind of person am I, and how dare I go near him? The Second Servant said: "Although he is a chief, he is greedy for money and lustful, kills innocents indiscriminately, and uses torture well, and now he is already a sinner, what else is he afraid of!" Zhang Wu hesitated and never dared to walk over. The second servant was very flustered and pushed him hard. In a hurry, Zhang Wu had already entered the room, and when he couldn't do anything, he tied the chain around Zhixian's neck and turned around and came out. The second servant greeted him and went out along the same road together. Zhang Wu looked back at Zhi County, and he had followed with an iron chain around his neck, and he was very afraid. Zhixian was silent.

  When we got to the water cave, I saw two more people, dressed in the same clothes as the second servant, and one person was also detained, standing unkempt. The Second Servant asked, "Have you been detained?" He replied, "Here comes the detention." The man saw that Zhixian was about to cry, and the servant hurriedly slapped him to stop it. Zhang Wu secretly asked who this person was, and the servant replied, "It is his staff, Guo Mou, the master who manages the criminal name." The same case as Zhi County, so they were detained together. During the conversation, he heard the cries in the house and attacked together, and the servant said, "The time has come." So he went out of the cave and went to the neighborhood, where two people parked two prison carts in advance and waited on the main road. The fourth servant loaded Zhixian and Guo into the car and instructed Zhang Wu to say, "Go back yourself, and be careful not to tell others." "After saying that, drive the cattle away."

  Zhang Wu returned home, and the chicken was already barking. Seeing her wife weeping with a lamp on her back, three or five neighboring women, beside her, advised her: "The dead cannot be resurrected, this is the number of days that has long been set." Not to mention that the gas is not broken, wait for the dawn to ask the doctor to come and see, I think there is no big obstacle. Zhang Wu listened to the shock, lost his voice, suddenly woke up like a dream, and found himself lying on the kangtou, his wife sitting next to him, and the house was full of neighbors, chaotic. Zhang Wu sighed. When his wife saw him recover, she settled down and was overjoyed. Zhang Wu asked, "Why are you crying?" The wife replied, "You go to untie your hands, and you don't come back for half a day, and I'll go out to have a look, and you're frozen under the eaves." Ask the neighbors to carry you into the house, although your hands and feet are warm, but you are not awake, from the fourth to the present, it is already midnight. How did you get lucky enough to be reborn? Zhang Wu then understood that what had happened before was all done by his own soul. So he got up and thanked the neighbor's wife, and the neighbor's wife happily bid farewell and left. Zhang Wu told his wife in detail the reason for the incident, and her wife was also amazed. By dawn, the whole city was in chaos, and all the soldiers and civilians knew that the county magistrate had died at the fifth day. Zhang Wu secretly inquired about Master Guo, and at the same time died violently. Zhang Wu's mouth was not strict, and gradually leaked out the truth, and Zhixian's son was furious and detained Zhang Wu to Yamen and whipped thirty. This incident occurred in the Yongzhou and Liangzhou areas of Shaanxi, and the people of Shaanxi are still circulating it. Enmao first said, "This is true, my grandfather said this before." ”

  Lan Yanshi said, "Evil is rife, and heaven takes his life." The devil is humiliated, and the people are deceived. Pretending before the people, where is the authority now! It is not that the ghost pawn cannot arrest him and borrow Zhang Wu's hand; it is not that the ghost pawn does not have that ability, but that he wants Zhang Wu to act as a witness to reveal his evil deeds. ”

  Zhixian was sick and had palpitations day and night. The number of people in the Hengzhi family is ten generations, and the candles are guarded all night, and judas is shocked in one night, and the more than half a month is over. There are five Zhang people, who are more than forty years old, and they are engaged in tofu. He often rises five times, and when he violates the law in one night, he rises four times and instructs his wife to be corrupt. Wife: "Is it too early?" Zhang Yue: "One day is not effective, and one eclipse is insufficient." Early production and early sale, a good thing. Ru started the lamp, I temporarily untied my hand and turned it around. ”

  When he opened the door to the alley, Fang wanted to climb the mountain, and suddenly two people passed in front of him and called out, "Zhang Wu, come here!" Zhang thought that he was a vegetarian, and from it to the intersection, he stood under the eaves of the same house. Looking at the two of them, they were very ignorant of their lives, each wearing a green coat, a green headband, a red hat, and a Zhu ticket, resembling a subordinate in the Yamen. Xiang Zhang Yue: "There is one thing that annoys each other, and you cannot prevaricate." Zhang asked what was going on, and the second servant said, "There is no need to investigate exhaustively, just wait for me." "Finish your words and go east. Zhang Xinda was reluctant, and his feet were not free, so he staggered along and went around the street market to the front of the Yamen Huan of ZhiXian County. I saw six people standing under the gate, hunched over their armor, all eight or nine feet long. The second servant did not dare to enter, but turned to the front of the water sinus behind yahou, so that Zhang entered first, Zhang refused, and the servant pushed it, not realizing that he was already inside the wall. The second campaign was also entered. The number of high walls and the weight of the past, so that they reached the dormitory. The light on the window was very bright, and he saw that a certain person in Zhixian was moaning on the bed, and behind the corners of the bed and feet, there were six or seven women sitting, and the floor was full of blankets, and there were also eight or nine men and women, sitting in groups. The second campaign was also filed, and the second campaign also came. The five are more to the end, and the second service is quite worried, and the phase is frequently peeping. When they moved again, a certain peace, the men and women were very tired, or snored and snored, or slept and stretched. The second servant jumped happily, and hurriedly took an iron chain to pay Zhang Yue: "Ru quickly entered the room, tied this chain to the county item, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, even lead it out!" Zhang was shocked: "Pizhi County, the official is also." Who am I to dare to be close? The Second Servant said: "Although he is an official, but he is greedy for money and lustful, and he kills and tortures indiscriminately, and now he is a sinner, and he is fearful?" Zhang Zhao, finally did not dare to move forward. The second servant panicked, and pushed it vigorously, and the room was already in the room. As a last resort, that is, to tie the chain to the neck of the county, go backwards. The second battle greeted it and followed the old path. Zhang looked back at Zhi County, and he was already neck-tied and terrified. Zhixian was silent.

  Before reaching the water sinus, he saw the two men again, ended the same two battles, and also armed one person, and the prisoner stood facing each other. The Second Servant asked, "Have you been detained?" "It should be said: "I am bound." "When his people saw that the county wanted to cry, they rushed to criticize his cheeks and stopped. Zhang privately questioned who this person was, and said: "That is, the curtain guest of the canal, the chief criminal Guo Mouye." With the same case, so the same ear. Between the words, I heard the cries of the inner house. "The time is up." "Then I went out to the room, and there were two people stationed in the prisoners and two cars waiting for each other in the thoroughfare. The four battles were in Nazhi County and Guo Yuyuzhong. Zhang Yue was instructed: "Ru self-return, be careful not to leak to others." "Words, super public opinion and cattle away."

  Zhang zhijia, the chicken has been chirping. Seeing his wife weeping with a lamp on his back, the neighboring woman of three or five people exhorted from the side: "The dead cannot be resurrected, and the number of days is fixed." The situation is not endless, and it is not harmful for Tianming to prolong the healing. Zhang Wen was shocked, lost his voice, and suddenly like a dream, he was lying on the kangtou, his wife was sitting on the side, and the neighboring woman rushed to fill the room. Zhang Zhi was stunned. The wife saw that his recovery was also shocked and happy. Zhang asked Hu wei crying? The wife said: "Ru xie hand did not return for a long time, I looked out, Ru stiffly lay under the eaves." The neighbor carried him into the room. Although the hands and feet are warm, but they do not wake up, from the fourth to this time, it is already midnight. What a blessing to be reborn! "Zhang Wu's previous events were all done by the soul. Get up and thank you to the neighbor's wife. Each resigned happily. Zhang Naibei told his wife for his reason, and his wife was also horrified. Bi Xiao, the military and civilians of the city were in turmoil, and the county official died at the fifth time. Secretly visiting Guo Mu, he also died violently at the same time.

  Zhang is not careful, gradually leaked to people, the son of a certain smell of the big gong, the weapon sent to the county, flogging thirty. The incident was in the yongliang, and the Qin people still tell it. Enmao xian said, "It is true that the first great father also tasted it." ”

  Lan Yanyue:

  Sin reigns supreme, and heaven takes away. The devil is humiliated, and the people are deceived. Looking back at Gao Than Linmin, its authority is at ease! The ghost pawn cannot tie his neck, and the false hand is on Zhang; the non-ghost pawn cannot also, and Zhang witnesses it, in order to violently attack his evil ears.
