"I knew that my son would never buy arsenic to make medicine for me. He is so kind! Of course, I love my son wholeheartedly. Even if I have a younger son with you, I will still treat my older son as always.
Okay." Xi Zili said.
"I know, husband, you have suffered, so you can go in peace and tell the King of Hell that it is arsenic. Just don't come out to scare your wife again. Okay?"
"Wait a minute, you said arsenic poisoned me, so where did you get the arsenic?" Xi Zili asked.
"Husband, I'll tell you the truth, I got it from the second-rate guy in the front yard."
"Second bitch? Why did you ask him for it?"
"He was not doing his job properly and was scheming. I also asked him where he got the arsenic. He laughed and didn't answer and said, don't worry about it, just use it to make sure it's genuine."
"Then did you give him money?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"He doesn't want money, he just wants me to sleep with him once."
"Then are you accompanying me?"
"Of course, there is no loss, and you can save money. You kill two birds with one stone, why isn't it cost-effective?"
"Okay! Anyway, I'm dead now, so I can't control so many people. It turns out that you still cuckolded me. It seems that you are really good at it!" Xi Zili said.
"Husband, after you die, I have to find a good wife first. Your death will not affect me. As soon as you die, I will remarry. If I have money, I will not be afraid of finding a good man. Second-rate, I am just taking advantage. I still have a game of chess.
, wait until the end. Don’t worry, the son my husband and I gave birth to is his seed. There is no adulteration or moisture in it, because when my husband married me, I was still a virgin, but later on, it changed. You can rest assured and go.
, the property you left behind has been used by us. If it is not enough, I will find a way. Some people take a fancy to me and want to take advantage, but there is no way. There is a lot of trouble in front of the widow, so I have to strictly control what is useful to me.
It's good, but if it's useless, just throw it away as rubbish." Mrs. Xi Dou said.
"Understood, I'm dead, you can do whatever you want. Now I'm just here to complete the task. Otherwise, if the King of Hell doesn't accept it, I will still come back to find you. I'm afraid you won't be able to do the good things you want. Even if you do, I
As soon as he appears, your new man will surely not be able to bear it. The timid ones will run away early, and the bold ones will be scared out of their wits. I am afraid that you will have to give up for the rest of your life. If you want to help you, you must first help me, and then I leave.
Now you can live in peace, and I won't come back to trouble you. What do you think?" Xi Zili said.
"I understand, you can go ahead with peace of mind. Xi Xiadong bought the medicine. He went to the best drug store in the city to buy the best medicine. Everyone knows this. When he came back, he prepared the medicine himself. Then I
After sending him away, he went to farm. I put the arsenic prepared in advance into the decoction, stirred it evenly, and then gave it to you to drink. You who are about to die will not be able to tell whether it is poisonous or not. As long as
If it’s medicine, just drink it, because you want to live, and only medicine can keep you alive, so you’ll be hungry and don’t choose food. After drinking the medicine, you’ll have an attack, and then you’ll die, with bleeding from all your orifices, and then the idiots waiting outside will come in and see how dead you are.
, go to report to the official, because your body is still cold, he can't do that with me. After your funeral is prepared, you can do those sloppy things with him. Then let people go to the fields to call Xi Xiadong back.
, I grabbed him by the collar and said that he poisoned you to put him in jail so that I could divide your property and then take my parents to live with me. These properties will belong to our Dou family.
Your son will also change his name to Dou. He will no longer be named Xi. This is the end of your Xi family. From now on, it will be the world of my Dou family." said Mrs. Xi Dou.
"Your heart is so cruel! It turns out that the most poisonous woman's heart is true! Forget it, our relationship as husband and wife has ended. It's not an unresolved love, but a severance of friendship. You go your way, and I'll go my single-plank bridge.
From now on, Yin and Yang are separated and do not interfere with each other. Fortunately, I am dead. There is no pain or torture of disease anymore, and I am no longer a concern for Xi Xiadong. I can let him live well. Your wishful thinking may be successful, but maybe not.
Okay. As for me, I went to see the King of Hell to register. As for you, go home by yourself. Don’t worry. They have dealt with me, a new ghost, and they all know that they won’t make things difficult for you anymore. Just go without worry!”
After Xi Zili finished speaking, he disappeared immediately.
Mrs. Xi Dou rubbed her eyes and looked carefully. She looked around at a loss. Only the moon passed through the clouds and the owl was hooting sadly. She didn't have time to think about it. She took three steps and two steps at a time and quickly left the new cemetery.
He trotted quickly towards home.
When she got home, she patted her face and pinched her. She still felt pain, which meant that this was not a dream, but that she had really seen a ghost!
She became even more frightened!
Her husband has forgiven her, but the King of Hell may not necessarily forgive her. This is not a matter that this new ghost can decide. Maybe, the King of Hell will punish her if she is wronged! The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she did not dare to go out for three days in a row.
I didn’t dare to go to the toilet at night for fear of seeing another ghost.
Three days later, the police came to her door and told her that the county magistrate had invited her to appear in court.
When Xi Dou saw Tang Lu, he quickly knelt down. He was used to being afraid of officials. The more afraid he was, the more he reassured the officials. He showed very timidity and cowardice so that the officials would not be disgusted, because many officials
People emerge from the mire but remain unstained.
"Ms. Xi Dou, did you see a ghost three days ago?" Tang Lu suddenly asked.
"Ah! Master, it is indeed true. How did you know this?" Xi Dou asked in surprise.
In order to convince him, Tang Lu gave more details.
When Mrs. Xi Dou heard this, she panicked and immediately lost her temper. She originally wanted to get away with it, but no one knew, no one knew, no one knew, no one knew, and she and a second-rate man could also be a casual couple, just use it, and be done with it.
Throw it away like waste paper. His biggest interest is that if he has money, he is not afraid of not having a man. He can find a son-in-law who steps in, so that his parents can have a place to settle down.
In this way, a beautiful dream was ruined in the hands of Tang Lu.
What's puzzling is how Tang Lu knew so much in detail. It's amazing. Either he is in the same group with the King of Hell, or he has dealings with ghosts. This county magistrate is extraordinary. It makes people look at him and dare not face him.
I'm worried that if I look at it squarely, my soul may be taken away.
"Don't make wild guesses. Your husband Xi Zili is indeed dead. The second-rate man was also captured. Do you want to see him? The ghost you met in the cemetery that night was not a real ghost, but a pretender. Do you understand now?" Tang Lu
explain.
"I understand, my lord, I originally arranged a ghostly event. I don't blame you, I blame my own blindness. Your Excellency already knows the truth and begs for mercy. The girl regrets it and shouldn't have committed a crime. This crime is not small and has caused a family tragedy.
The daughter of the common people was confused and obsessed with money, thinking that her husband Xi Zili was already terminally ill and there was no hope for a better future. If he continued to see a doctor, all the family property would be spent. He could not decide anything while he was ill. Seeing that Xi Xiadong was not young, he was not married yet, because everyone else
Looking at the family situation, Xi Zili is not good at all. The woman in the family also has concerns. Looking at the youngest son of the daughter of the people, he is still young. It will take time for him to become an adult. Seeing that he can't make ends meet, he can't do it without taking measures. So he took the risk and let Xi Xiadong
Buy medicine, then boil it, cover up others' eyes and ears, borrow a knife to kill someone, wait until all this is done, let him go out to the fields, and then the woman poisons her husband, Xi Zili, and kills her husband. The advantage of this is that there is no need to spend money on treatment.
, knowing clearly that this is a bad disease, no matter how much money is spent, it will not help. In addition, if Xi Xiadong is removed, put in jail or even sentenced to death, then these family properties will fall into the hands of Minnu, because Minnu and Xi Zi
There is also a son between Li. If the family property falls into the hands of a civilian daughter, or in the hands of a civilian daughter's son, it belongs to the civilian daughter. Isn't this a good thing? Who knows that people are not as good as God, and agencies are too smart to calculate.
As a result, Qingqing's life was taken. It really shouldn't have happened. My lord, please pity the poor girl. Her husband died, her children are young, and there is no one to take care of her. I beg you to ignore the life of a civilian girl. The girl will definitely change her past.
Work hard to be kind, do good deeds, and help more people." Xi Dou said.
After saying that, he burst into tears.
Tang Lu said: "The laws of the country cannot be tolerated. Murder must be paid with life and debt must be repaid with money. This is basic common sense. No matter how much you know and how smart you are, you cannot escape common sense. If you kill someone, you deserve to die. What else is there to say?"
.If you die, everything will be the same as before. If you don't die, everyone in the world will be in panic, and everyone can kill their husbands without having to bear responsibility. If you don't die, the world will be uneasy. But if you die, the world will have justice."
"Sir, if a civilian girl is sentenced to death, would you please bury the civilian girl next to her husband?"
"No, you are motivated by greed for money and are too murderous. If you are with Xi Zili, Xi Zili will be uneasy. In addition, you have hooked up with a second-rate man and despised yourself. In other words, you have committed a crime and should be executed without delay. Your
The body cannot be buried in the ancestral grave of the Xi family. It can only be fed to wild dogs, buried in the dog's belly, and turned into dog feces, everywhere." Tang Lu said.
"Sir, the women of the people know that they are wrong, so please be more generous and let the women go. Let the women do whatever they want to repay you," said Mrs. Xi Dou.
"It's useless. Just because of your wrong thoughts, you ended up being executed in Lingchi. It's not yours, so don't force it. It's yours and no one else can take it away." Tang Lu said.
"grown ups!"
"Drag it down!"
Tang Lu ordered, all the government officials shouted, and Xi Dou was thrown into death row to await execution.
Let’s talk about Xi Xiadong. He was acquitted by the Tang Dynasty and ordered to have a good life and raise his young brother. The county government paid a fee to Xi Xiadong as compensation. Xi Xiadong was extremely grateful. This had never happened in the history of Gucheng County since ancient times.
They all paid taxes to the county government and never received any money from the county government.
The case was closed. Tang Lv breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The case is finally closed. Once the files are compiled and submitted to the court, we will prepare for executions in the fall. Let's take a look at how many more people are to be executed."
The master then went to get a bunch of case files, and when Tang Lv flipped through them, he found a murder case involving a monk.
This is strange! If a monk doesn’t eat well, fast and chant the Buddha’s name, why would he break the precepts and kill people? What kind of monk is this?
Tang Lu decided to interrogate the monk.
"What's your name?" Tang Lu asked. He was a monk, dressed in ragged clothes, wearing shackles and shackles. He was a serious criminal who was sent to death row. He was strictly controlled and could not be careless.
"The poor monk's name is Yun Xin. Because he was seducing a married woman named Xi Li, he lured her out. After killing her, he threw her into a dry well. When throwing Xi Li, he accidentally killed himself.
He brought him into the well and was discovered. He rescued the poor monk. When he saw blood on the poor monk's body and another person in the well, he suspected the poor monk and said that the poor monk was the murderer, so he reported Baozheng and sent the poor monk away.
When the monk came to the county government office, the person who was hearing the case was not your Excellency. It was the first time that the poor monk saw your Excellency. The above situation has been explained clearly, please investigate it clearly." Monk Yunxin said.
After hearing this, Tang Lu had questions in his heart and said, "Yun Xin, when did you arrive in Gucheng?"
"Sir, the poor monk arrived in Gucheng on July 9th."
"From where?"
"Come here from Xiangyang Iron Buddha Temple."
"What are you doing here?"
"Come and visit Qingyuan, the abbot of Chengen Temple."
"When did the crime occur?"
"July 10th."
"When was the sentence sentenced?"
"July 15th."
"Then it only took six days from the day you arrived in Gucheng to the time you were sentenced. It seems that you didn't have enough time to hook up with the Xi Li family. How did you hook up with the girl so quickly? How did you kill the girl? Why did you kill her?
If you marry a folk girl, why do you want to jump into a dry well together?" Tang Lu asked.
"This, this, this..." Yun Xin hesitated and couldn't say anything. He looked left and right, beads of sweat hanging on his forehead and nose.
"Then, I will ask you again, how did you kill? What tools did you use? What kind of knife did you use?" Tang Lu asked.
"The poor monk doesn't know the name of the knife, he only knows that it is a knife."
"Then I would like to remind you, is it the Ghost Head Sword?"
"Yes, I remembered it. It is the Ghost Head Sword. It is a very powerful knife. It looks scary, like a ghost! This is the knife that I remember." Yun Xin said.
"Hahaha, hahaha!" Tang Lu laughed.
Yun Xin looked at Tang Lu with a confused look on her face.
"Hahaha, you can be so funny! Do you know what a ghost head sword is?" Tang Lu asked.
"The head of the knife looks like a ghost's head, doesn't it?" Yun Xin replied.
"The ghost-headed knife is a professional knife used by executioners. Most people don't have it. Only executioners have it. You, a wandering monk who has become a monk, are walking around with a ghost-headed knife used by executioners. Are you going to kill the criminal?"
"Oh, so that's it! The poor monk has learned a lot. Thank you for your advice." Yun Xin said.
"To tell you the truth, Yun Xin, I don't want to kill a good person by mistake. I was looking at the case files of all death row prisoners and found that there were problems with your materials, so I put you on trial. You have to be clear that you are lucky. If you change
If you are alone, you may not have a chance to speak. If your grievances are revealed during this interrogation, you might as well tell the truth. Even if you are sentenced to death, you must die clearly. If it is found that the crime is not worthy of death, you will not be punished.
Even if you die, you can still live, travel around and live your life as a monk, wandering around freely like clouds. Don't hide it, tell me what you know, and I will avenge you.
