At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, warlords fought in a scuffle, so there were many incidents of soldiers harming the people in various places.
At that time, there was a battalion commander named Yu Datou, who acted brutally and greedily, and often connived at the soldiers to rely on their power to extort money everywhere, which later developed to the point of burning and looting.
One of the victims reported Yu Datou's crime to his superiors, who began to investigate, and the situation was very tense.
In order to exonerate his subordinates who assisted him in doing evil, Yu Datou arrested a carpenter surnamed Wang in the local area, tortured him, and burned him with cannons, falsely accusing him of confessing his guilt.
Wang Carpenter began to cry out for injustice, but later, under torture, he confessed all the charges of false accusations and just wanted to die quickly.
Later, Yu Datou handed over Wang Mugong's confession document, and the crime was pushed on him, so the case was closed, and Wang Carpenter was shot because of this.
Soon after this incident, one day, Yu Datou suddenly dreamed that Wang Carpenter came to ask for his life, so he was in a panic, and he suffered from a mad disease, and in his delirium, he hit his head against the wall, and the bleeding did not stop, and his family forcibly tied him up and did not let him move.
In the end, Yu Datou was in a state of madness, the wound on his head festered, and his face was unrecognizable, so he died in wailing.
This incident is recorded in "Dongling Xiaozhi", which was told by the author Guo Zexuan listening to Fu Hecen, Fu Hecen and Guo Zexuan are both former Qing Jinshi, ** period, Fu Hecen served as the secretary general of Hubei Province. According to Fu Hecen, his fellow villager surnamed Kong had seen what happened to Yu Datou with his own eyes.
Of course, when it comes to retribution for evil, many people will scoff at it, and even more so criticize and attack, after all, facing this problem will cause a lot of pressure on people's conscience.
However, what people think and think seems to be their own business, and there are more people who are as arrogant as Yu Datou, and when the evil is full, they want to jump for one more day, and it seems to have become a luxury!
