During the Qing Dynasty, there was a man named Zhang Linsheng in Yongping Province, who had a son and a daughter with his wife Fengniang, and a family of four had a good life. As the saying goes: "There are unexpected storms in the sky, and people have bad luck and bad luck", Zhang Linsheng could not have dreamed of it, because his unintentional act actually involved a murder case.
At noon one day, Zhang Linsheng went out to drink at the invitation of a friend, and several people drank and chatted, and unconsciously drank a few more drinks. It wasn't until Shen Shi's banquet dispersed that Zhang Linsheng staggered out of the restaurant. Just walked to the door, I saw my wife and an old man selling candy arguing, Zhang Linsheng came up with wine, indiscriminately punching the old man. The old man was old, plus there was an illness in his body, and the old man fell to the ground with one punch and was unconscious.
Zhang Linsheng was shocked to see this scene, if he killed the old man, wouldn't he have to lose his life? When he saw the old man falling to the ground, he was so frightened that he suddenly woke up drunk, and together with his wife helped the old man into the house. After a long time, the old man slowly woke up, and the two mouths breathed a long sigh of relief. Zhang Linsheng quickly apologized to the old man and asked his wife to prepare meals to apologize.
The old man's name is Deng Bingchang, his family lives in the south of the city, he has never married a wife in his life, and he has no children and no daughters under his knees, so he makes a living by selling candy. Zhang Linsheng carefully looked at the old man in front of him, only to see that he was dressed in shabby clothes, and his clothes were already tattered, and he felt pity and gave the old man a new dress that he had just made two days ago. Deng Bingchang was very moved, and his dissatisfaction with Zhang Linsheng had long since disappeared. After dinner, Deng Bingchang thanked Zhang Linsheng and his wife for leaving, and at this moment, Zhang Linsheng took out two or two pieces of silver from his arms and handed them to the old man, but the old man politely refused.
An hour later, Zhang Linsheng suddenly heard a rapid knock on the door outside the door, and when he opened the door, he saw that the person who came was Zhao Liu, the boatman of the ferry. He saw Zhang Linsheng's panicked face and said, "Gongzi is not doing a good job, and the old man Deng Bingchang who sells candy has just passed away." Zhang Linsheng was frightened and trembling when he heard it, and quickly asked the reason, and Zhao Liu said the details of the matter.
Just half an hour ago, the old man Deng Bingchang took Zhao Liu's ferry boat to prepare to go home, and shortly after getting on the boat, the old man suddenly fell on the boat. Before dying, he told Zhao Liu that he had just been beaten by Zhang Linsheng, handed him a new piece of clothing, and entrusted Zhao Liu to go to the county court to report for his grievances. Zhang Linsheng was so frightened that he sat on the ground and kept saying in his mouth: "How is this good?" After a long time, Zhang Linsheng suddenly begged Zhao Liu and said, "At this point, there is no other way, just ask Brother Zhao to save my life." ”
Zhao Liu looked embarrassed and said, "Human life is at stake, this is really embarrassing for me." Zhang Linsheng got up and went into the bedroom, took out a hundred taels of silver and handed it to Zhao Liu, saying: "As far as I know, Deng Bingchang has no close relatives, and if Brother Zhao is willing to secretly bury his body, it is expected that no one will pursue him." Only you and I know about this matter, as long as Brother Zhao is willing to help, he will definitely be able to save my life. Zhao Liu looked at the silver in his hand and said, "People can't be resurrected from the dead, so I'm going to bury the body now while it's dark, as if this didn't happen." After saying that, he handed the new dress to Zhang Linsheng and then turned away.
Sending Zhao Liu away, Zhang Linsheng was uneasy in his heart, he felt ashamed of Deng Bingchang and wanted to surrender himself, but he was afraid of the crime of beheading. For several months, Zhang Linsheng lived in deep self-blame. One day half a year later, Zhang Linsheng was walking on the way home, suddenly greeted by a person, after the two looked at each other, Zhang Linsheng was frightened and pale, and suddenly stunned in place. The man came to him and smiled and said, "I didn't expect to meet Gongzi here, but I don't know if Gongzi has been good lately?" ”
Zhang Linsheng said tremblingly, "Are you a human or a ghost?" Aren't you already dead, and how can you come back from the dead? It turned out that the person in front of him was Deng Bingchang. When the old man heard this, he laughed and said, "Why did the prince say this?" Zhang Linsheng said the cause and effect of the matter, and as soon as the voice dropped, Deng Bingchang said angrily: "Oh, you and I have both fallen for Zhao Liu's deception." ”
It turned out that after Deng Bingchang left Zhang Linsheng's house that night, he was ready to take a ferry home. After he boarded the ship, he chatted with the boatman Zhao Liu, who saw the new clothes in Deng Bingchang's hand and inadvertently asked a question, and Deng Bingchang told Zhao Liu what happened during the day. The speaker has no intention, the listener is intentional, Zhao Liu has just recently lost a gamble, and he has a clever move to his heart. Taking advantage of his lack of preparation, Zhao Liu deliberately pretended to overturn the ship, and Deng Bingchang unfortunately fell into the water. When he dragged Deng Bingchang onto the ship, he found that he had lost his breath.
Immediately, Zhao Liu went to Zhang Linsheng's home, falsely claimed that Deng Bingchang had been beaten to death, and took the opportunity to extort a sum of silver. In order to make Zhang Linsheng convinced of this matter, Zhao Liu specially brought the new clothes that Zhang Linsheng gave to Deng Bingchang. Knowing the truth of the matter, Deng Bingchang realized that his falling into the water was not accidental, but Zhao Liu deliberately killed people and killed his mouth, thanks to his own life, when Zhao Liu went to find Zhang Linsheng, Deng Bingchang luckily survived, and saw that there was no one around and left alone.
Deng Bingchang understood the truth of the matter, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he did not expect that Zhao Liu had actually murdered himself for money. He and Zhang Linsheng discussed going to the county court to report to the officials. After listening to the statements of the two men, the county lord sent someone to arrest Zhao Liu and bring him to justice. Zhao Liu came to the lobby, and when he saw Zhang Linsheng and Deng Bingchang, a cold sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead. He prostrated his head like a garlic, and seeing that things could not be hidden, he had to obediently confess to the crime he had committed.
Zhao Liu did not hesitate to murder others in order to defraud money, and he was beaten by the servants for thirty times and imprisoned, and what awaited him would be a long prison disaster. This is exactly the restoration of the Skynet, neglect without leakage, persuade Jun Mo to reach out, reach out will be caught.
