Since ancient times, the wedding night should have been peaceful and beautiful, sweet and moving. However, during the Qing Dynasty, the wedding night of a couple was strange and abnormal, and the groom suddenly went crazy, rushed out of the marriage room and ran all the way into the river and then disappeared, not even a trace of the body. What's even more bizarre is that it was all planned by the bride! Why would she do that? Where has the bridegroom gone?
In Guangdong during the Qing Dynasty, there was a scholar. The family is well-off and good-looking. Such a good family background naturally does not worry about finding a wife, but the scholar is knowledgeable and has a high heart, and he does not look at ordinary women. The family searched all over the world, and finally found a woman with good looks and temperament, and the two families hit it off and quickly set up a kiss. Who would have thought that what seems to be a good couple is actually a hidden killing machine?
After the scholar and the beauty were betrothed, the spring breeze was proud and full of spirits, and soon won the show talent. When the good news came, both families were overjoyed, and the Shusheng family hoped that the two would take this opportunity to get married quickly, and the double happiness came to the door. After the matchmaker and the woman's family said it, the woman asked the man to enter the money. It turned out that the woman's father died early, and there was no brother, in order to facilitate the care of the old mother, the woman asked the scholar to enter the excess. Shusheng thought about it for a long time, felt that this matter was feasible, and agreed to it. The wedding banquet of the two will also be held soon. Who knew that the wedding night was also the time of his death?
On the day of the visit, relatives and friends came to congratulate each other, and everyone praised Shusheng for his good fortune to marry such a beautiful wife. After three rounds of drinking, the scholar returned to the cave room. According to the rules, newlyweds are required to drink hop wine on candlelight nights in the cave. At this time, the bride was tender as water, and had been advising the scholar to drink, and the scholar could not help but drink freely, and soon, he was drunk. Who knows, not long after, the guests outside suddenly heard the screams of the bride in the cave room. Then, seeing the groom's cloak scattered, he rushed out of the cave room, pulled out his legs and rushed out, extremely fast, as if he were crazy. When the guests saw the situation, they were dumbfounded for a while, and after they understood it, they went to chase the groom. However, the bridegroom ran extremely fast and soon reached the river. But as if he didn't see it, he plunged headlong into the river. The river is fast-flowing and deep. When the groom fell in, he lost track. When the crowd saw this, they quickly sent someone to salvage it. As a result, however, nothing was found. Probably the body has long been washed away.
When the people told the bride the bad news, the bride was furious, believing that the guests could not be saved when they saw death, and watched the bridegroom drown. Saying that, he also wanted to drag the guests to the official palace to fight a lawsuit. When the government learned of this, they questioned the mother and daughter in detail. The bride only said that the groom seemed to be caught in the evil, and suddenly began to go mad. ZhiXian, but found the clue. In order to find out the truth, Zhixian dressed up as a fortune teller and went to the bride's neighbor's house to inquire about the situation. This probe discovered the earth-shattering secret!
Neighbors who knew the inside story revealed important information to the disguised Zhixian, it turned out that the bride had a close relationship with a squire before marriage, and everyone suspected that the two had an improper relationship. Zhixian also inquired about the situation on the wedding night, and the person said that the groom was wearing a shawl that night, running so fast that he couldn't see clearly. Subsequently, Zhixian asked whether the squire had contact with the bride recently? Neighbors said that today they also saw the squire enter the woman's house. After zhixian listened, he already knew the truth in general, and quickly returned to yamen and led people to search the bride's home. When the bride's boudoir was searched, a pair of men's shoes were found under the bed. Zhixian immediately ordered someone to remove the bed and found that the floor tiles under the bed had loose marks. Looking around, I found a secret passage. The crowd followed the secret passage to a secret room, and the squire was inside! Also in the courtyard, the body of the scholar was exhumed. On the throat of the corpse, there was a stranglehold mark, which was strangled at first glance. Zhixian arrested the squire and the bride to Yamen, and the two quickly confessed. It turned out that the two had an adulterous affair long ago, and in order to prevent Shusheng from discovering, they decided to secretly kill Shusheng. The squire and the bride conspired together to first drunk the groom on their wedding night, strangle him, and drag the body out through the secret passage to bury him. Then hire a man who knows the nature of water to put on the clothes of the bridegroom, wear a shawl, pretend to be a mad groom, jump into the river and run away, and create the illusion that the bridegroom has jumped into the river to commit suicide. Interlocking, almost flawless. Fortunately, Zhixian saw what was going on and did he arrest and bring this vicious adulterer and adulteress to justice!
The day of the great joy turned out to be a day of sacrifice, and I wonder how sad the groom's family should be. Fortunately, Zhixian was resourceful and cracked the poisonous scheme and let the evil people be arrested. Want to know more about history? Come and listen to "Wild History Secrets"!
