Folk tales: The old man comes back from the dead, the man feels strange, uncovers the truth, and everything is a conspiracy

During the Qing Dynasty, there was a man named Zhang Linsheng in Yongping Province. He and his wife Feng Niang have a son and a daughter, and the family of four has a lot of fun. As the saying goes, "When the sky is unpredictable, people have bad luck and bad luck." Zhang Linsheng never dreamed that due to his carelessness, he was involved in a murder case.

One day at noon, Zhang Linsheng went out for a drink at the invitation of a friend. Several people drank and chatted, and unconsciously drank a few more drinks. It wasn't until Shen Shi's banquet dispersed that Zhang Linsheng walked out of the restaurant shakily. As soon as I walked to the door, I saw my wife arguing with an old man who sold maltose. Zhang Linsheng was drunk and indiscriminately punched the old man. The old man was old and sick, so he fell to the ground with one punch and lost consciousness.

Zhang Linsheng was horrified when he saw this scene. If he killed the old man, wouldn't he lose his life? When he saw that the old man could not fall to the ground, he woke up in fright and helped the old man into the house with his wife. After a long time, the old man slowly woke up, and the couple breathed a long sigh of relief. Zhang Linsheng quickly apologized to the old man and asked his wife to prepare a meal to apologize.

The old man's name is Deng Bingchang, and his family lives in the south of the city. He had never been married in his life and had no children under his knees. He made a living selling maltose. Zhang Linsheng looked carefully at the old man in front of him, but found that he was wearing worn-out clothes and his heart was full of pity, so he gave the old man a new dress that had just been made two days ago. Deng Bingchang was very moved, and his dissatisfaction with Zhang Linsheng had long since disappeared. After the meal, Deng Bingchang thanked Zhang Linsheng and his wife for leaving. At this time, Zhang Linsheng took out two silver coins from his pocket and handed them to the old man, but the old man politely refused.

An hour later, Zhang Linsheng suddenly heard a sharp knock on the door outside. When he opened the door, he found that the new arrival was Liu Zhao, a boatman on the ferry. Seeing Zhang Linsheng's panic, he said: "My son's affairs are not good. Deng Bingchang, an old man who sold maltose, had just passed away. Frightened and trembling, he quickly asked why, and Zhao Liu told the story of the incident.

Just half an hour ago, the old Commander Deng Man was sitting on Liu Zhao's ferry, preparing to go home. Shortly after boarding the boat, the old man suddenly fell into the boat. Before dying, he told Liu Zhao that he had just been beaten by Zhang Linsheng, handed him a new dress, and entrusted Liu Zhao to go to the county government to report his grievances. Zhang Linsheng sat on the ground in fright and kept saying, "What can I do?" After a long time, Zhang Linsheng suddenly pleaded with Liu Zhao, saying, "Now there is no other way, only the Zhao Can brothers can save my life."

Zhao was very reluctant and said, "It really makes me embarrassed that human life is at stake." Zhang Linsheng got up and went into the bedroom, took out one hundred and twenty taels of silver, and handed it to Liu Zhao: "As far as I know, Deng Bingchang has no close relatives. If Brother Zhao is willing to secretly bury the body, it is estimated that no one will pursue it. This is something that only you know. As long as Brother Zhao is willing to help, he will definitely save my life. Liu Zhao looked at the silver in his hand and said, "People can't be resurrected from the dead, so when it gets dark, I'm going to bury the body and pretend it didn't happen." With that, he handed the new clothes to Zhang Linsheng, and then turned away.

When Liu Zhao was sent away, Zhang Linsheng felt uneasy. He felt worthy of Deng Bingchang and wanted to surrender himself, but he was afraid of beheading. For several months, Zhang Linsheng lived in deep remorse. One day half a year later, when Zhang Linsheng walked home, a man suddenly walked over. After the two looked at each other, Zhang Linsheng's face turned pale with fright and he suddenly stopped. The man walked up to him, smiled, and said, "I didn't expect to meet this man here." I don't know if the boy has been good lately? ”

Zhang Linsheng trembled and said, "Are you a human or a ghost?" Aren't you already dead? How can you come back from the dead? "It turned out that the person in front of us was Deng Bingchang. When the old man heard this, he smiled and said, "Why did my son say that?" Zhang Linsheng told the story of the incident. As soon as the words stopped, Deng Bingchang said angrily, "Alas, you and I have all been deceived by Liu Zhao."

It turned out that after Deng Bingchang left Zhang Linsheng's house that night, he was ready to take a ferry home. After getting on the boat, he chatted with the boatman Liu Zhao. When Liu Zhao saw Deng Bingchang holding a new dress in his hand, he asked unexpectedly, and Deng Bingchang told Liu Zhao what had happened during the day. The person who speaks is careless, but the listener is interested. Liu Zhao had just lost all his gambling money recently, and he had a stroke of genius. Taking advantage of his lack of preparation, Liu Zhao deliberately pretended to overturn the ship, and Deng Bingchang unfortunately fell into the water. When he dragged Deng Bingchang onto the ship, he found himself losing his breath.

Immediately, Liu Zhao went to Zhang Linsheng's home, falsely claimed that Deng Bingchang had been killed, and took the opportunity to extort a sum of money. In order to make Zhang Linsheng believe in this matter, Liu Zhao specially brought new clothes that Zhang Linsheng gave to Deng Bingchang. After knowing the truth of the matter, Deng Bingchang realized that his falling into the water was not an accident, but Liu Zhao deliberately covered up the criminal. Fortunately, when Liu Zhao went to find Zhang Linsheng, Deng Bingchang luckily survived, and when he saw no one around, he left alone.

Deng Bingchang understood the truth of the matter and became more and more angry. He did not expect that Liu Zhao would commit suicide for money. He consulted with Zhang Linsheng and reported to the county government. After listening to their statements, the county order sent someone to arrest Liu Zhao. Zhao came to the lobby. When he saw Zhang Linsheng and Deng Bingchang, a cold sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead. He prostrated his head like garlic, and when he saw something, he could not hide it, so he had to obediently confess his sins.

In order to defraud money, Zhao did not hesitate to kill others. He was severely beaten by all the first officers for committing heinous crimes, and he was put in prison, and what awaited him would be a long prison sentence. That's why Skynet is slow and easy. I advise you not to reach out. If you reach out, you'll be caught.
