First, let's talk about the situation of the protagonist of this article, Kuri Yumi.
Li Yumei (1778 ~ 1840 AD), also known as Hanhui, also known as Youmei, No. Pu Yuan, also known as Jishan, Shanxi Hunyuan people.
In the seventh year of Jiaqing (1802 AD), Emperor Qingrenzong (Ai Xin Jueluo, Yuanyan) was awarded the title of Zhi County in Henan.
He successively served as a governor, a prefect, an envoy, and a nursing inspector.
In the fifteenth year of Daoguang (1835 AD) of Emperor Xuanzong of the Qing Dynasty (Ai Xin Jue Luo Min Ning), Li Yumei was appointed governor of Hedong River (hence the name of Heshuai).
During his tenure, Li Yumei made a field survey of the Yellow River, summarized the causes of the flood, and believed that the flood was caused by the accumulation of water in the ditch and the collapse of the embankment. After careful study, he proposed the method of "throwing bricks to build a dam".
Li Yumei loves the people, devotes herself to river affairs, has a picture of water control in her chest, and knows the curve and height of the river, the width and depth of the river, and the speed of the flow. In the event of wind and rain, he immediately went to a dangerous place, and when he was flooded, he personally commanded and was deeply loved by the people. He was honest and honest, brave in enforcing the law, offended the powerful, was framed, and later became depressed, and died in the post of governor of the river, and was martyred at the age of 63.
After Li Yumei's death, everyone from the Tianzi courtiers to the people of Li Min missed him very much.
The Daoguang Emperor specially allowed Li Yumei to build a mausoleum two miles southeast of Hunyuan Prefecture, and gave it to Crown Prince Taibao and Gongqin.
When Li Yumei died, the Daoguang Emperor personally wrote an altar for him.
In addition, Li Yumei's former friend Lin Zexu also wrote an altar text for him.
The local people also built a temple for him, and whenever there was a flood, they went to sacrifice.
Later, the imperial court also had a canonization, and the Qing History Manuscript Chronicle 59 "Li San (Ji Li III)" has:
"During the Muzong Dynasty (Tongzhi period), the four kings of Jiajinlong were given the title of Four Crosses, and the temple was sealed qiu, Linqing, Zhangqiuzhen, and Liutanghe;
Until now, the two inscriptions of the Daoguang Emperor and Lin Zexu are still well preserved, located in the place known locally as the "Li family tomb". The local people have always affectionately called Kuri Yumi as Kurito. During the Qingming Festival, people will go to the "Li family tomb" to make sacrifices. Li Yumei is a strong and innovative river management expert, who has made important contributions to the development of water conservancy in ancient China.
The general situation of Li Yumei is generally as above.
In addition, the "Draft History of the Qing Dynasty" lists 170 "Li Yu Mei Biography" can also be used as a reference.
The man has said it, and it is up to him.
Regarding Li Yumei, the incident comes from a passage from the "Two Rules of Keekawa Shuai" in the "Celebrity Anecdotes" of the Qing Dynasty.
When Kuri yumi was a child, Takado died. He studied under a certain Ming Jing (originally referring to the subject of electing officials, here indicating those who studied the scriptures) in Tongyi.
This Ming Jing was a well-known scholar.
Under the Ming Dynasty, in addition to Li Yumei, there was also a student, A.
A certain Jia is younger than Li Yumei, has a wealthy family, and has the habits of a clumsy child.
Kuri's teacher has two children, one son and one daughter.
At that time, the teacher's son was already in his twenties, and although he was an adult, the teacher's son could not distinguish between beans and wheat, and he had a relatively serious mental defect.
The teacher's daughter, who had just reached the age when she could marry, was about fifteen or sixteen years old. This girl is gentle and virtuous, smart and sensitive. The teacher and the teacher mother loved her daughter very much and regarded her as a pearl in the palm of her hand.
The teacher usually attaches great importance to Kuri Yumi, and when he sees that his daughter has reached the age to be married, he wants to give her daughter Xu to Kuri Yumi.
Li Yumei also knew what the teacher meant, and he was also willing to marry in his heart.
This is something that each other has willingness to do!
Of course, the teacher's daughter also quietly knew that her parents belonged to Kuri Yumi, but she had not yet understood the matter of the appointment.
On that day, because Ofori Yumi's family was poor, he often stayed in the study, and the teacher's son often accompanied him.
One night, the teacher's son was very irritable and couldn't sleep. He said he was going to swap the bed with Kuri yumi. Kuri yumi was a little embarrassed at first, and when she saw that the teacher's son was very insistent, he finally agreed to change the bed with the teacher's son.
Just a short time after changing the bed, something fell from the roof, and there was a sound. Immediately after that, I heard the teacher's son shouting. Kuri yumi immediately got up to investigate, and the situation in front of her at that time was:
An iron go through the chest of the teacher's son, and then, before he could give first aid, the teacher's son died of exhaustion.
Kuriyuki saw this and cried in fright.
The teacher heard such a big movement and rushed out.
Seeing his son die tragically in Li Yumei's bed, the teacher firmly believed that his son was killed by Li Yumei.
Kurihimi defended herself loudly and said that there was a hole in the house. However, no matter how Kuri yumi explained, he could not say why the teacher's son died in his bed, why he changed beds with the teacher's son.
After the incident, Li Yumei's classmate A. He also questioned Kuri yumi and agreed with his claim that he had killed his teacher's son.
In the end, the matter was reported to the officials for investigation and handling.
Of course, Li Yumei was also arrested by the government.
After Li Yumei was arrested, the government tortured him to extract a confession. Poor Li Yumei, a weak scholar, where can he withstand those severe tortures. In the end, Li Yumei innocently confessed her guilt and was found to be a murderer, and he was also tortured into confessing and painting and serving the crime.
After prison, Kuri was placed on death row.
At this point, Kuri yumi was left with only her share waiting for execution.
After the incident, the teacher's daughter did not have a marriage partner for the time being.
At this time, Li Yumei's classmate, A, sent someone to the teacher's house to propose relatives, and promised to be willing to send the teacher's mother to the end of the pension.
The teacher agreed to a certain A's affair.
Subsequently, the teacher's daughter married A.
The teacher's daughter married A just turned one month old, and one day, A drank too much.
After drinking too much, it was probably difficult to control his emotions, and there were many words, and A said to his wife:
"In order to marry you, I really put in my efforts!"
When the wife heard it, she felt that there was a big article in the words of so-and-so A, so she asked A:
"Why do you say that? Is it that difficult for us to get married? ”
Guess what, at the time:
A certain person has drunk too much, drunk and ear fever, and his self-control ability is relatively poor;
Second, a certain person probably feels that he has been married for one month, and there is no need to hide anything from his wife;
Third, according to the social customs at that time, the teacher's daughter had already married herself, and even if she had any faults, her wife would be helpless against herself and would not easily give up this marriage.
It is probably based on the above points that A replied to his wife:
"Your brother's death actually has nothing to do with Li Yumei!"
The wife asked:
"How do you know? So how did my brother die? ”
A said:
"At that time, I knew that the teacher and the teacher's mother belonged to Li Yumei and wanted to marry you to him. In order to marry you, I paid to bribe the robbers, originally to kill Kuri Yumi. Unexpectedly, the yin and yang were wrong, but they accidentally injured your brother and killed him. ”
When the wife heard so-and-so say this, she almost fainted, but she still had to endure and continued to listen to so-and-so's speech:
Although he did not kill Kuri Yumi, he was already convicted and put on death row. In the end, I still married you. This is also a match made in heaven. ”
After the wife listened to the words of a certain person, she was really torn apart. In the face of such a vicious person, she did not dare to have a seizure at that time, or pretended to smile, as if there was no one, and also advised a certain person to continue to drink a few drinks.
After a certain person was lying drunk, the teacher's daughter found a sharp blade to hide on her body.
Thinking that her brother was killed, the original good marriage was calculated, Li Yumei was on death row and was about to be executed, but she shared a bed with this human-faced beast heart for more than a month, and the teacher's daughter really hated not being able to kill A immediately, and she really wanted to kill herself in A's house immediately.
But on second thought:
The poor brother did not understand the world's affairs and died tragically in confusion; Li Yumei was innocent and would also be unjustly killed; a certain person bought a murder and murdered people, but he was at ease; he absolutely could not die so inexplicably.
For a short night, like for many years, the teacher's daughter did not close her eyes all night.
As soon as the east showed its dawn, the teacher's daughter took the blade and left a certain house and went to the county to beat the drum to avenge her brother.
The county official verified the facts of the case and interrogated him in detail, and in the end, all the robbers he had bought were arrested and brought to justice, and after some interrogation and questioning, A and the robber could not argue and confessed to the crime.
After the real case was settled, Kuri Yumi was also released.
After the case was decided, the teacher's daughter said aloud in the lobby:
"Because of a momentary mistake, I married a certain A. Today, above the lobby, in order to avenge my brother's injustice, I came forward to report my husband. This is really a bad fate in a previous life! ”
After saying this, the teacher's daughter killed herself.
Kuri knew that it was the teacher's daughter who came out to file a complaint before she could be released from death row. Seeing her kill herself, Kuri yumi cried silently.
Later, Li Yumei became a county commander by paying tribute, and served as an official at all levels in the local government for many years, and the official was the governor of the river.
Li Yumei also sent her teacher and mother to the end of the pension. He has always enshrined the tablet of the teacher's daughter at home, and the incense is commemorated in the morning and evening.
