There are strange cases in ancient and modern times, and there are many strange talks in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and if you want to know what happened, you need to listen to the words of the "big lion"!
During the Guangxu period at the end of the Qing Dynasty, a murder case of wind and moon occurred in Zhejiang, the process was strange, the content was absurd, and it was really laughable to say.
It is said that in the autumn of the third year of Guangxu, Zhejiang held a major examination, and Dong Jian, a scholar in Wucheng County (present-day Huzhou, Zhejiang), went to the provincial capital to take the examination and temporarily rented a house in Shi Changsheng's home in Yongjinmen.

Shi Changsheng was a generous person, afraid of delaying the future of the students, so he paid special attention to Dong Jian, he saw that the house rented by Dong Jian was somewhat small, so he gave the big house where he and his wife Chen lived to Dong Jian to live, he and his wife temporarily lived in the hut, and told Dong Jian not to be restrained, if necessary, he would open his mouth.
Dong Jian is naturally grateful to Shi Changsheng, but he came here from other places, his life is not familiar, he lives in other people's homes, and he sleeps alone, and he can't help but toss and turn and sleep unsteadily.
I really couldn't sleep, so I sat up and looked out along the window slit, only to see that not far from the window was a low wall, and if there were thieves who came to steal at night, this low wall could not be stopped at all. Dong Jian faced this wall, more and more nervous, only sighing that this kind of courtyard wall that prevents gentlemen and does not prevent villains is what is the use of it?
In order to get up early at dawn and work hard, Dong Jian did not want to sleep, just confused and a little sleepy, suddenly awakened by a sound of creaking. Hurriedly opening his eyes and sitting up, he saw a figure dangling from the window. Dong Jian could see clearly that the man was bald and hairless, dressed in a monk's robe, not a thief, but a monk.
Weird! In the middle of the night, there was silence, and the monk did not dream well in the temple, and ran to the people's house to make Rausch?
Dong Jian was confused, so he quickly lay down, pretended to be asleep, and peeked into the movement.
It was even stranger to say that the monk was crouching outside the window, making no sound, and not moving, like a clay sculpture of wood. Such and such a school makes people scratch their heads, could it be that this is a feng shui treasure land of Qing cultivation, and the monks have come here to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, the essence of moonlight? Oh, if this is the case, this is not a monk, but a "great immortal."
To laugh is to laugh. After a long time, the bald brain melon stood up, and then reached out and groped back and forth on the window, only to hear a creaking sound, and the window suddenly opened.
Dong Jian was shocked in his heart, could it be that the monk would change his tricks?
The bald head first probed through the window, then plunged his body into the room, quietly entered the room, gently placed the folding fan in his hand on the table, quickly removed his coat, revealing a sac, crept to the bed, and whispered: "Female benefactor, I have brought you tea." ”
It is a joke again, forgive the author for reading too much "Journey to the West". The monk was not a lama, and the person lying on the bed was not a golden-nosed white-haired mouse spirit, but a confused Dong Jian.
The monk's original words were: "Good sister, the little monk is coming, you can make the little monk want to die." ”

When Dong Jian heard it, he immediately understood what was going on. It turned out that this was a flower monk, just like the sea monk (Pei Ruhai) in "Water Margin", who was looking for Pan Qiaoyun to meet.
Dong Jian sat up with a smile and said to the monk, "Master, you have found the wrong person, Xiaosheng is not Xiao Pan, just living in this house temporarily, you are not my good brother, I am not your good sister, I advise you to take advantage of no one to see, or go back quickly." ”
The monk was dumbfounded, and it took half a day for him to wake up, quickly fold his hands, read "Zenya", and then pick up the monk's robe and jump out of the window. It was like a fat cat on the wall, and there was no shadow when it fell off the wall.
Dong Jian looked at the monk's confused look and couldn't help but laugh. Laughing, I got off the ground and put on my shoes, came to the table, picked up the folding fan that the monk had forgotten here, opened it, and looked at the landscape fan surface, which had a paragraph on it, and wrote the monk's legal name, and Fang knew that this flower monk's name was Hui Jian.
Looking at the fan noodles, Dong Jian was secretly happy, the next day he ate breakfast, took the folding fan out of the door, found a shop that specializes in selling incense candles, inquired about how many temples there were around, and whether there was another mage named Hui Jian?
The boss immediately told Dong Jian that out of the Qiantang Gate, there was a Zhaoqing Temple, the temple was not big, more than ten Three Treasures disciples, the presiding monk was called Hui Jian, and he was an obese monk.
When Dong Jian heard this, his heart said that it was this monk. So I thanked the boss, bought some incense candle paper, went out of the Qiantang Gate, took a leaf boat, went with the water and the wind, and easily came to Zhaoqing Temple. Seeing the welcoming monk, Dong Jian pointed out that he wanted to see the presiding monk Master Huijian, and said that there was a deceased person who came to send a folding fan, just by saying this, Master Huijian would immediately come out to greet him.
The welcoming monk believed that it was true, and regarded Dong Jianzhen as a friend of the host, so he hurried inside to communicate.
Not long after, I saw Master Hui Jian walking out quickly from inside, smiling with a smile on his face, and holding Dong Jian's hand to greet him, just like an old friend who had not seen each other for many years.
In an elegantly decorated house, Master Hui Jian instructed the welcoming monk to bring tea and a snack, and then said that he would reminisce with the deceased, and no one was allowed to come in and disturb him without his command.
At this moment, there were only Dong Jian and Hui Jian in the room, and Hui Jian lifted up his robe, knelt on his knees, and after kowtowing to Dong Jian, he got up and clapped his hands together to thank him.
Dong Jian told him not to be formal, and then returned the folding fan and said: "Xiaosheng likes to visit the Buddha since he was a child, admires the precepts for a long time, hates himself and is not dusty, has no reason to serve the Buddha, and last night he saw the master, which is the fate between you and me monks and laymen." I came to visit today only to make friends with the master. ”
Hui Jian was overjoyed when she heard this, and immediately clasped Dong Jian's hands, expressing endless gratitude and regarding Dong Jian as a confidant and friend.
Subsequently, Hui Jian opened the box, took out a bag and handed it to Dong Jian, saying: "Sir, no teeth are unforgettable, the grass ring is knotted, it is difficult to repay, it is a small gift, talk about my heart, if Mr. considers me as a confidant, please accept it, do not resign." ”
Dong Jian did not have to open the bag to see, but also knew that it must be yellow and white things inside, he repeatedly resigned, Hui Jian insisted on him to accept, so Dong Jian down the slope down the donkey, the bag of good things laughed.
After chatting for a while, Dong Jian got up and said goodbye, and Hui Jian sent him out of more than three miles, which saw Dong Jian board the ship and go away.
Dong Jian returned to the Shi family with a heavy burden, immediately packed up his bags, paid more rent, and bid farewell to Shi Changsheng and left.
Shi Changsheng asked him how to live well and how to leave? He lied that he had gone to see a friend who had a big family and insisted that he move in, and he was embarrassed to refute the face of his friend, so he moved in.
Seeing that he insisted on leaving, Shi Changsheng knew that he could not stay, watched the guests go away, and returned to continue to do his own work. Since the guests are gone, the couple can no longer live in the cottage and move back to the big house.
At night, Shi Changsheng, who was asleep, vaguely felt that someone had entered the house, and before he could open his eyes to look, he heard a muffled sound in his ears, and then a bloody smell came to his nose. He hurriedly opened his eyes, only to see a bald head with a steel knife standing on the edge of the bed, his eyes straight and stupid.
Look again, the wife has been separated. Shi Changsheng couldn't help but scream, and then he threw the monk down at the cost of his life, shouting loudly while fighting with him.
Shouts drew in neighbors, who joined forces to subdue the murderers. When the face of the murderer was clearly seen, everyone was amazed, this is not the abbot of Zhaoqing Temple, Hui jian!
Someone called for di bao, and then sent Hui Jian to the county court. There is a blood knife as evidence, and huijian is not allowed to deny it. The great monk also knew that he could not escape the law, weeping bitterly and regretting it, saying that he only wanted to kill Dong Jian, a useless scholar who had blackmailed himself with a sum of gold and silver, but did not expect to kill the woman he loved by mistake.
It turned out that Shi Changsheng's wife Chen Shi was a prostitute in the Qinglou in his early years, and Hui Jian could not stand the pain of Qingxiu, often changing into civilian clothes to pretend to be a businessman to go to the Qinglou to have fun, during which he met chen, and the two swore an oath to the sea and vowed not to abandon it in this life.
Later, Shi Changsheng, who died of his mother-in-law, redeemed himself for the Chen clan and incorporated it into his own family, and Hui Jian was also a love species that counted, and after finding out the whereabouts of the Chen clan, he secretly found the Chen clan to continue the frontier. Chen Shi made an agreement with him that when the first fifteenth came to meet, she would try to take Shi Changsheng away. After coming and going, the two had a private meeting for half a year, and Shi Changsheng was actually unaware. Knowing that Tiangong was tricked, Shi Changsheng returned the big house to Dong Jian to live in so that Dong Jian could study with peace of mind, and the Chen clan forgot to inform Huijian not to come again for the time being, which led to a farce of "monks will study students".
In addition, Hui Jian ostensibly regarded Dong Jian, who came to deliver the folding fan, as a close friend, and also gave a generous gift, but in fact, he secretly killed dong Jian and was bound to put Dong Jian to death, so that his unseemly deeds would not be publicized. So he rushed into shi mansion with a knife in the middle of the night, and took the life of a person with a knife in his hand, but he did not want to be killed by him not a useless student, but a beloved.
Listening to this confession, the county order did not embarrass Huijian, and let people temporarily imprison him and wait for him to be released. Immediately issued a flying fire ticket, ordering people to quickly arrest Dong Jian and bring him to justice.
Dong Jian came for the exam and could not leave, so he found a shop and chartered a Tianzi guest room to live temporarily. Unexpectedly, just a day after staying, he was found by Ya Cha, and when he reached the court, he had to confess one hundred and fifty.
Xian Ling read that he was a reader, but he made a mistake for a while, so he had people beat him up, and then confiscated the gold and silver that Hui Jian had given him, and then released him, but he was not allowed to stay in the local area. In other words, Dong Jian lost the qualification for the exam, and this bitter fruit was also planted by himself, no wonder others.
Speaking of Hui Jian, he was also a man, he knew that he would die, but he did not want to be beheaded, and asked to be burned alive. The county commander admired him for having some backbone, so he agreed to come down.
On the day of the execution, the court piled up firewood, and Hui Jian, dressed in a robe, walked to the top of the firewood pile with a big swing, sat down on his knees, closed his eyes, folded his hands, and chanted silently. After the execution, the ashes were scattered into the Qiantang River. At this point, this absurd wind and moon murder case was over.
During the Republic of China, the case was put on the screen and made public in the form of a "silent film", and the opera stage was also interpreted, known as "Zhaoqing Monk", also known as "Flower Monk".
