In ancient times, on the wedding night, the groom died mysteriously, 3 months later, suddenly, a young man came to him, saw the groom's father, and shouted, Father, I am your son! The father of the bridegroom was shocked, my son is dead, how can he still be alive? The young man cried, I am really your son, I borrowed the corpse to return the soul!
During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, in southern Hunan, there was a Qi family, a sad thing happened, the son of the Qi family was unexpectedly plotted on the wedding night, and unfortunately died.
Suddenly, a young man in his 20s came to the door of Qi's house, claiming to be the son of the family.
When the young man saw Master Qi, he pounced, knelt on the ground, and shouted, Father, I am your son Qi Heng! The Qi family was taken aback, and Qi's father said, my son is dead, how can he still be alive?
The young man cried bitterly, I am really your son Qi Heng, I am still alive, I borrowed the corpse to return my soul!
The second elder of the Qi family, who loved his son, immediately called his daughter-in-law Meihua, pointed to the young man and said, This is my son, your husband Qi Heng!
Plum Blossom said categorically, this is not good, my husband has died a long time ago, you talk about it, why do you say that you are my husband?
The young man didn't say a word, and told all the things that the two had said on their wedding night, and after hearing it, Meihua was taken aback and cried, you are really Qi Heng! As he spoke, the two hugged and cried.
Since then, this man has become the son of the Qi family, and this matter has also become a strange talk in southern Xiangnan.
The Qi family has been in business for generations, the family is well-off, the young master of the Qi family is called Qi Heng, he has a bold personality and makes friends, 3 months ago, Qi Heng got married, and his two best friends, one is called Ou Qi, and the other is called Buyun, who was also invited.
When they had nothing to do, the two friends made an appointment to go to the cave room. The two of them hid in the attic above the new house, ready to listen to the room.
However, the groom Qi Heng and the bride Meihua did not sleep, but sat at the table and chatted.
The two of them waited left and right, but they didn't hear what they wanted to hear, and they were about to leave, when Ochie took out a knife, said with a wicked smile, frightened them, and threw the knife through the crack in the floor, and then left.
The next day, the two came to Qi's house again, but they only saw the bride, not the groom. Och casually asked, have you seen anything strange?
Plum blossom hesitated for a moment, took out a knife from his arms, Occhi laughed, did you scare you yesterday? This is what I threw from above!
Suddenly, Meihua's face suddenly changed, she stood up, grabbed Ou Qi, and cried, You are the one who killed my husband!
Ou Qi and Buyun were dumbfounded, the cry attracted the Qi family, Meihua began to cry, last night we were drinking tea, suddenly, someone threw a knife, right on his right head, he fell to the ground on the spot, I was frightened, I looked, the groom is dead, I panicked for a moment, so I hid his body under the bed, to see who will come back tomorrow to get the knife.
After hearing this, everyone was shocked, and pulled out Qi Heng from under the bed, and sure enough, he had been dead for a long time.
The Qi family was heartbroken when they saw their son's tragic death, and immediately tied up Ou Qi and Bu Yun and sent them to the yamen.
Although it was a manslaughter, the county lord still sentenced Ou Qi to prison, and Bu Yun beat him with a cane for twenty. The Ou family felt that this matter was strange, but they couldn't say why, so they had to watch their son being imprisoned.
Coincidentally, Zhou Shilang at that time inspected the two lakes and came to Xiangnan, and when he heard this strange thing, he couldn't help laughing.
He believed that resurrecting the soul of a corpse was a hoax at all.
So, Zhou Shilang transferred the file of Qi Heng's murder case, studied it carefully, and found that the case was full of flaws and suspicious.
The next day, he quietly sent someone to investigate this young man, and within 2 days, he found out his true identity, he actually lived in the same village as his bride Meihua, formerly known as Mei Jiu.
Zhou Shilang smiled slightly, knowing in his heart, so, he sent someone to invite the young man to the government to set up a banquet for hospitality, Zhou Shilang said, you are a strange person, you are a lucky star in southern Hunan, today I specially entertained, I recommend to the emperor, let you be an official, for the benefit of the people.
When the young man heard this, he was flattered, and his heart was even more complacent, and he couldn't help but get drunk.
Suddenly, Zhou Shilang asked, Mei Jiu, what is your father's name?
The young man was vague and said, My father's name is Mei Gui.
Suddenly, Zhou Shilang shouted loudly, rushed in several officials, tied him up, and threw him into the prison.
Then, Zhou Shilang took advantage of the night to bring plum blossoms, and asked straight to the point, plum blossoms, what is your relationship with that plum nine?
Meihua was stunned for a long time, knowing that the matter had been revealed, so she had to confess, adult, the little woman and Mei Jiu are lovers, we have known each other since childhood, but unfortunately, his family is poor, my father married me to Qi Heng, who expected, on the night of marriage, he died unfortunately.
The second elder of the Qi family missed his son and was in pain, so I thought of this strategy of borrowing the corpse to return the soul, so that we can be a long-term husband and wife.
Zhou Shilang asked, then in this way, Qi Heng should be your victim!
Meihua was shocked, kowtowed and sobbed again and again, and said, although I am not behaving well, I dare not do anything harmful.
That night, Qi Heng and I were drinking tea and chatting in the room, and suddenly heard a noise outside the door, he opened the door to look, and heard him say, Hey, why are you? What are you doing?
Suddenly, I heard him snort and fall to the ground.
I went out to take a look and found that Qi Heng had fallen to the ground, his right side of the head was stabbed, bleeding nonstop, and he was already out of breath.
I saw the figure of the man, a bit like Mei Jiu, thinking that he was holding a grudge and taking revenge, so he didn't dare to speak out.
When I returned to the room, I was so frightened that I suddenly saw a knife stuck in the ground, which I guess was left by someone in the cave room, and I had an idea.
Zhou Shilang thought for a moment and asked, what is it about that person that makes you think it's Mei Jiu?
Plum thought for a moment and said, tall and thin.
The next day, Mei Jiu and Mei Blossom said roughly the same, and Zhou Shilang temporarily imprisoned the two and waited for their fate.
After investigation, only three of the people in the cave room that night matched.
The three of them were brought, and Zhou Shilang waved his hand and asked people to take out paper and pens, and asked them to take turns writing their names on the paper.
The three of them finished writing quickly, but unexpectedly, Zhou Shilang pointed to Buyun and said, it was Qi Heng that you killed!
Bu Yun suddenly turned pale, knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again, "Big man, small wrong, Qi Heng and I are good friends, how can I kill him?"
It's very simple, just because they are friends, so when I saw you that night, Qi Heng asked, hey, why are you? What are you doing?
Then, when he was completely defenseless, you stabbed him in the right side of the head. Zhou Shilang said slowly.
Buyun loudly argued, my lord, you can't jump to conclusions without evidence!
Zhou Shilang sneered, when you were writing, I had already seen that you were a left-hander, and the person with a knife in his right hand could only stab the left head of the opposite person, and only the left hand could stab the right head of the opposite person.
And Qi Heng is right side of the head was injured, both of them used their right hands, who else would you say if it wasn't you? If you don't recruit again, don't blame me for serving the torture.
Bu Yun was so frightened that he pounced and fainted.
Later, Bu Yun confessed that he was indeed the one who killed Qi Heng.
It turned out that night, after he and Ou Qi came down from the attic, they found that the door of the side room where the Qi family's maid Qiao'er lived was not closed.
Buyun, who has coveted Qiao'er's beauty for a long time, has a bad heart, and after breaking up with Ou Qi, he quietly returned, and when he was about to touch the side room, he accidentally kicked over the flower pot and made a sound.
Qi Heng came out to take a look, and saw at a glance that the sneaky Buyun asked casually, Hey, why are you doing?
Bu Yun thought that he had discovered his attempt, panicked for a moment, hurriedly stepped forward, took out the knife for self-defense, and stabbed into the right side of the head with a knife, Qi Heng snorted and fell to the ground and died.
Unexpectedly, Meihua heard the sound and came out to check, and Buyun fled in a hurry.
The next day, he asked Ou Qi to come to the house to investigate, but he didn't expect that Ouyang Qi was used by Meihua as a substitute for the dead ghost, and he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, he was recognized by Zhou Shilang's discernment.
In the end, the Shonan County Order was dismissed and investigated, and Ochi was released and returned home. Buyun was sentenced to be executed, Meihua hanged herself in prison, and Meijiu was sentenced to 3 years in prison.
At this point, this strange case that caused a sensation in Shonan was finally revealed.
The deer speak the language of the deer. Story**Folk tales, entertaining, small stories contain big truths, don't sit down with feudal superstition!
Zhou Shilang had great wisdom and was not deceived by the superficial illusions, but conducted in-depth investigations, carefully analyzed, and finally exposed this deception of borrowing corpses to resurrect souls.
Meihua is selfish, and in the face of her husband's death, she does not hesitate to create lies to satisfy her greed.
And Bu Yun was a thief with a weak heart, for his own selfish desires, he ruthlessly killed his friends, pitiful Qi Heng, took his hypocrisy as sincerity, and gave his life in vain!
A wicked man is his own hell. A person with an open heart will be fearless.
