In the Ming Dynasty, there was a man named Chen Yaohui. He used to be an executioner.
He was doing well until one day his best friend was sentenced to be beheaded.
Chen Yaohui originally avoided it, but his friend said: "I am content to die in your hands."
From that day on, Chen Yaohui stopped being an executioner and started selling sesame seed cakes on the street.
He saw Cui Zhennan when he was selling sesame seed cakes. When he saw this man, he became very angry.
The problem happened when my friend was with him, but Cui Zhennan is still here.
When a friend came to Cui Mansion to treat his father's illness, he was arranged to be a servant next to Cui Zhennan.
Cui Zhennan beat and scolded his friend when he was unhappy. Seeing his friend's injuries, Chen Yaohui persuaded him to leave more than once.
A friend said: "My family has no money, and I will be bullied wherever I go. I just have to endure it and it will be over."
One day, my friend went out with Cui Zhennan, but when he came back, he was arrested and put in jail.
At that time, Cui Zhennan was fighting with others, and his friend accidentally beat him to death.
The other party’s family was very angry and asked the government to find out.
In the end, the friend confessed, and the matter ended after his death.
My friend’s father was in poor health. He heard that his son had been beheaded and he died a few days later.
So when he saw Cui Zhennan, he became very angry, but he had no good solution.
There is a man named Xiaoliuzi in the city. He is an inquisitor and always has good information.
He said to Chen Yaohui: "I heard that the man was beaten to death by Cui Zhennan, and your friend was wronged."
Chen Yaohui said: "Where did you hear this?"
Xiao Liuzi also heard from Cui Zhennan. My friend said it, but that person has already left here.
From that day on, Chen Yaohui was determined to find out about this matter.
He inquired while selling cakes, and Cui Zhennan soon learned about it.
He found Chen Yaohui and said, "It's better not to inquire about some things, otherwise you won't know how you died."
Cui Zhennan thought Chen Yaohui would stop, but he didn't expect that it strengthened his determination to continue investigating.
In Chen Yaohui's opinion, Cui Zhennan has a guilty conscience, and there must be something fishy in this.
He found a watchman. It was at night when the accident happened. Maybe he would know something.
The watchman didn't say much, he just asked Chen Yaohui to find the yellow dog in the west of the city.
The yellow dog has been wandering on the street, and friends will always feed it with their own food.
My friend said: "It is as pitiful as me."
Chen Yaohui finally found the yellow dog, but to his surprise, the yellow dog actually started talking when he saw it.
"He is wronged, you must help him." It has been waiting for this day for a long time.
The yellow dog cannot take the initiative to find Chen Yaohui, because then it will be unable to speak and things will not be explained clearly.
It took Chen Yaohui to a place, and he found a box inside.
There is a letter in the box, which was brought out by the yellow dog who slipped into the prison.
A friend wrote a letter, saying: "I have half of the jade pendant here. If I find the other half, I can clear away the suspicion."
It turns out that this man was not killed by him at all, but was pushed out by Cui Zhennan.
Cui Zhennan said: "If you dare to say one more word, your father will be in danger."
He had no choice but to plead guilty, and he was unwilling to do so, so he came up with this method.
Chen Yaohui was very sad after hearing his friend's story. He must help his friend seek justice.
He returned to the village to settle his wife and children at home. Unexpectedly, he happened to catch up with a villager getting married.
all live in the same village, and he would go to support any red event.
The wedding banquet was very lively and everyone ate happily. However, an accident happened when the groom was toasting.
Chen Yaohui accidentally knocked over his wine glass, but he didn't care. He would probably pour another glass.
The groom said: "You are going to be in trouble."
Chen Yaohui didn't understand what he meant, so he continued: "Look at the wine flowing out of the cup."
Chen Yaohui lowered his head and saw that the wine had turned red at some point.
The groom advised him to leave this place quickly and not to worry about anything.
Chen Yaohui also wanted to leave, but his friend's affairs were not finished yet. He must find the jade pendant. The other half.
Chen Yaohui thought that this jade pendant was so important that Cui Zhennan would definitely hide it at home.
It happened that Cui Zhennan's servant went to the market to buy vegetables. He knew this man and he usually liked gambling.
Recently, he owed money to the casino. The debt collectors came to him many times for a large sum of money.
Chen Yaohui took the initiative to find him and gave him twenty taels of silver.
He said, "As long as you can find the half of the jade pendant, I will give you three more." Ten taels of silver.
The servant thought: "50 taels of silver is enough for me to work in Cui Mansion for several years. This business is a good deal." "
The servant is also very smart. He did not search in a big way, but observed secretly.
He invited other servants in the house to have dinner. There is no airtight wall in this world. There are always a few people with lax mouths.
A boy said: "The young master doesn't know why he always carries a broken jade pendant, and he also says it is his life. "
After reading it, he carefully put the jade pendant back. Everyone else took it as a joke. Only this servant nodded.
The next day, he stole the jade pendant while Cui Zhennan was out.
Chen Yaohui got the jade pendant. Afterwards, he was very excited and rushed to the government office.
When Cui Zhennan came back from his trip, he found that the jade pendant was missing. He guessed that it must have been picked up by Chen Yaohui.
Although he didn't know how he did it, the top priority was to find him. He led the people to chase him quickly, and finally found him on the way to the government office.
Cui Zhennan said: "As long as you give me the jade pendant, I will let you go. "
Chen Yaohui refused to let go, so he asked his servants to rush forward.
He shouted from behind: "Kill him for me, and you will be rewarded heavily when you go back! "
Everyone rushed up together, but Chen Yaohui was outnumbered and was quickly defeated.
At this moment, the yellow dog appeared, and he fought with them regardless.
The yellow dog looked at Chen Yaohui, with tears flowing from the corners of its eyes. Tears came, Chen Yaohui knew that Huang Gou wanted him to leave quickly.
Chen Yaohui was very sad, but he could only leave for the sake of his friends.
Chen Yaohui found the prefect and put the two jade pendants together. At this time, the ghost came from outside. Come in.
He said: "The deceased asked me to bring this. He said that you will understand it after reading this. "
The letter explained everything, even the jade pendant.
The deceased's name was Deng Yuan. He was having dinner with his friends that day. Unexpectedly, Cui Zhennan came.
He came up and let them go. He He said: “I have always occupied this seat, and anyone who comes has to give up his seat to me. "
Deng Yuan also had a temper. He said: "I won't let you! "
The two men started fighting when they disagreed. Because Deng Yuan had many people, Cui Zhennan did not get any advantage.
He was unwilling to give in, so he stopped Deng Yuan on his way. This time Cui Zhennan beat Deng Yuan to death directly.
He was very scared, and he didn't want to be put in jail, so he claimed that it was Chen Yaohui's friend who beat him.
But if he didn't want others to know, Deng Yuan's jade pendant suddenly broke into pieces. 2.
Half of it flew directly into Cui Zhennan's pocket, and he couldn't get it out.
After returning home, Cui Zhennan told his father about it, and his father was thoughtful.
"This is half a jade pendant." You cannot throw it away casually. If it is lost, your affairs will be known. "
Although the jade pendant has aura, it must wait until the destined person can combine the jade pendant into one. Chen Yaohui is that person, because he represents justice.
The magistrate re-heard the case after reading the letter, and Cui Zhennan finally sentenced him to beheading.
He said: "If I had known what would happen today, why would I have to go through such a big circle. "
Chen Yaohui buried the yellow dog next to his friend. There are many bad people in this world, as well as many touching people and things.
Summary: People will have many friends in their lives, but few can become close friends.
It is rare to have a friend who can shield you from wind and rain and protect you from all odds, so you must cherish it.
If you don’t want others to know what you are doing, you will be able to escape doing bad things for a while, but you will not be able to escape forever.
When the trouble you cause cannot be covered up, then you will definitely be punished.
In this life, meeting a close friend and having a clear conscience is happiness.
