Jia Xingfang from Jiangyin County (now Jiangyin City, Jiangsu Province) is a well-known scholar in the county. Jia's family is not well-off, but he is clean and honest, especially the word "famous festival". Criticize . He has a younger sister named Quan, who is very beautiful, dignified and graceful in temperament, knowledgeable and reasonable, and her brothers and sisters love her very much. At the age of sixteen, she betrothed to Jiang Haitao, the son of a salt merchant surnamed Jiang in the same county.
After more than a year, the wedding date is approaching. There was an old pearl seller named Wang in the neighborhood. When she heard that Jia Quan was going to get married, she went to her house to sell pearls. Jia Quan picked out a few beads, and then took out dozens of beads from his own marriage, and asked Wang Yu to tie a bead and phoenix. Wang Nuo took it to Jia Quan and said: "Although the young lady is a commoner, she is naturally beautiful, just like the person in the painting; if it is matched with this pearl and phoenix, it will definitely be more radiant. Ah." Jia Quan smiled, paid the pearl money, and let her go.
At this time, her sister-in-law brought a mirror box to invite her to draw a pattern. She saw the newly tied pearl phoenix on the table, took a look at it, and said in surprise, "Sister, is this pearl phoenix tied by the old lady of the Wang family? If it was her, my sister must have been deceived by her, and people like the old lady of the Wang family are not allowed to enter the house," Jia Quan took Zhufeng from her and looked at it carefully, only to realize that the pearl had already been replaced. , which is regrettable.
Sister-in-law told her husband about it after she went out. The next day, when Jia Xingfang went out, he met the old lady Wang again, stopped her outside the gate, and scolded her for being dishonest and secretly changing pearls. The old lady Wang was ashamed and left angrily.
After the old lady Wang returned home, became angry , she went straight to Jiang's house, and framed Jia Nu in front of Jiang's mother, saying, "This little girl is not serious, she once asked her neighbor Jin Ma to send a letter to a small student. Rumor has it that she is pregnant.Yesterday, I deliberately went to her place to sell beads to find out the truth of the matter, but it turned out to be not bad at all. "Mother Jiang went to tell the old man. The old man of the Jiang family was convinced of this.
After a few days, the maid of the Jiang family brought in an old woman who was selling flowers and asked her name, it turned out to be Wang. What the old woman said about Jin Ma. Several young women in Jiang’s house scrambled to buy flowers, and they dispersed after buying them. Jiang mother left Jin Ma and calmly asked her about Jia Quan. Jin Ma Xuxu talked for a long time, which was similar to what Mrs. Wang said. Jiang's mother was so angry that her face was blue, and she ordered the maid to invite the master immediately and let Jin's mother confirm the matter in person. After that, Jiang Weng decided to divorce his son, he I went directly to the matchmaker , and asked her to return the Geng post ( men and women Geng posts exchanged to indicate marriage proposal or engagement ) to Jia Quan, and went to Jia's house to break off the engagement. At that time, the matchmaker's ears were also scratched. After hearing a lot of gossip, he didn't dare to argue with Jiangfu, so he went to tell Jia Xingfang.
Jia Xingfang was very surprised when he heard it, and asked Jiangfu why he wanted to break off the marriage. The matchmaker showed a little bit of air, and Jia Sheng was furious when he heard it, and threw Geng stick on it. On the ground, he walked away. The
matchmaker had no choice but to go back and tell Jiang Weng. When Jiang Weng saw that it was not good to be "private", he went to Jiangyin County Yamen to file a complaint and asked Jin Ma to testify for others. At the same time, Jia Xingfang also went to the county. He appealed to Jiang Fu to withdraw his relatives unreasonably. When interrogated by the magistrate, Jia Xingfang spoke fiercely and righteously. The magistrate was speechless and had nothing to say. , confrontation in court. "
Jia Xingfang returned home full of anger, and discussed with his sister Jia Quan how to deal with the court case tomorrow, and said sadly, "God is so ruthless, that my sister was poisoned by this! Jia Quan also sighed and said, "My sister has been fondled by her brother and sister since she was a child, and she once thought that she would repay one day.To comfort the parents who are sleeping underground. How can it be tolerated today to be subjected to such a humiliating humiliation? My sister's idea has been decided. Please don't feel sorry for me, brother. After saying that, he covered his face and cried bitterly.
Early the next morning, Jia Quan washed up and changed into a plain white shirt again. Before leaving, he cried and said to his sister-in-law, "My sister has a bad life, so I can't stay with my sister-in-law." When I get old, I have failed my sister-in-law's affection for her sister in the past. At this time, my sister-in-law could only cry with tears and could not say anything. Then, Jia Quan calmly followed her brother to board the car.
Arriving at the lobby of Jiangyin County, Jia Quan pointed to the heaven and made an oath, explaining that her daughter was Innocent and eloquent, Jiangyin County magistrate said: "This matter has been confirmed, how can you allow you to argue with eloquence? ” Immediately ordered the officer to use a scorpion ( "拶" is the punishment for pinching the prisoner's finger, so it is also called scorpion finger. Use 拶子 to insert the finger, and then tighten it tightly, which is an old torture ) to hold her up Jia Quan was in so much pain that he said, "How can I, a little girl, endure such torture? If this goes on, I will definitely submit to injustice. Rather than being humiliated like this, it is better to die. How can the magistrate of the county have the heart to falsely accuse Liang of being a prostitute and kill him at will? ah? "A few words touched the sore spot of the county magistrate, and the Jiangyin magistrate became furious, and immediately called Wenpo ( was a folk person who was in the business of delivering mothers in the old days) , and took Jia Quan to the next door for a medical examination.
After a while, Granny Wen came out and reported to the county magistrate, "The Jia family has been four months pregnant. It turns out that this woman Wen received the benefits of Mrs. Wang, so she made a false testimonial. The result of Wen's medical examination was exactly what Jin Ma said. The county magistrate sneered and immediately asked Jia Nu: "Now you still have What can be said? "Jia Quan said: "I thought otherwise, rather than borrowing a midwife to examine the body, it is better to let all the parents and fellow villagers here see it for themselves."Before she finished speaking, she took out a saber from her sleeve with a swoosh, ripped open her bodice, and stabbed herself in the abdomen, but before the half was cut, she fainted and died. Jia Quan inserted the knife into her abdomen. From the beginning to her death, she didn't say a word during the whole process. She was really a strong woman!
Jia Xingfang hurried over to grab the saber from her sister's hand when she saw her sister's fall. Seeing that her lower abdomen had been cut, her stomach and intestines flowed out together, which was horrible. Jia Xingfang threw the knife in the On the ground, he cried out in grief: "Please ask the county government and all the villagers and fathers to personally test to see if there is a baby! "When the magistrate tried to stop it in a hurry, it was too late. At this time, Jia Quan had long since returned to the west.
Jia Xingfang later went to Suzhou Prefecture to file a lawsuit. When his boss received this case, he felt that the case was too suspicious, and immediately arranged for two groups of people to set off. , along the way, arranged for a special person to examine Jia Quan again, and at the same time arraigned Jiang's family and Jin's mother. As a result of the examination, Jia Quan was still a yellow flower girl, and she was re-examined, but she could not be tortured. As well as the result of Jin Ma's case, the source of the case also pointed directly at the old lady Wang. The old lady Wang began to deny it in every possible way, but as soon as the Suzhou government was sentenced, she honestly and completely revealed it.
This rumor murder case was checked. The case was soon closed: Jiang Weng, Mrs. Wang, and Ma Jin were beheaded, Jiangyin County magistrate sentenced him to hang, and Suzhou Prefecture built a shrine for Jia Quan to honor and commemorate her. It’s a pity that Jia Quan Loyal and loyal martyr, ruined on an old woman's broken mouth, makes people sigh!
