During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, in early summer, a group of gangsters dressed up in disguise and suddenly looted the government's treasury at three o'clock in the night and killed all the government officials who guarded the treasury.

During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty , it was early summer. A group of gangsters dressed up in disguise and suddenly looted the government's treasury at midnight and killed all the government officials who guarded the treasury.

Unexpectedly, this group of bandits actually put all 10,000 taels of silver into the coffin, and after daybreak, they swaggered out of the city gate as soon as possible.

However, when County Magistrate Zhang got the news, he immediately led a large number of government officials to chase him all the way to the foot of the mountain. As a result, he only saw coffins and mourning robes scattered on the ground.

Seeing this situation, County Magistrate Zhang became angry instantly and shouted directly: "Come here! Post notices throughout the city. Anyone who can provide clues will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver. Anyone who hides the suspect will be exterminated. "

"Yes, sir, I obey!" After hearing this, the officer immediately nodded in agreement.

Five days later, in a remote house in the city, there were six strange big men, talking and laughing together, drinking wine and eating meat.

However, there is a big man among them, named Wang Xiaobao, who is nearly thirty years old. He has been an orphan since he was a child. Due to lack of discipline, he has developed a lazy character and does not do his job all day long.

At this moment, Wang Xiaobao glanced at the wine jar on the table, and suddenly the corners of his mouth rose, revealing a strange smile.

Then, he said with a smile: "Brothers, let's have another drink. After a while, after the news has passed, we will divide the silver coins. Then, you can live and drink as much as you like."

"Brother, this is really great. We will do whatever you say," said a big man with triangular eyes.

After hearing this, the other big men immediately nodded and bowed in agreement.

At this moment, a black-faced man suddenly screamed "Ah" and fell to the ground, with a column of blood spurting out of his mouth.

then shouted: "Brother, this wine is poisonous, you have to be careful!" As soon as

finished speaking, several big men next to him all screamed, and they all spurted out a stream of blood and fell to the ground. Hum.

At this time, Wang Xiaobao sighed and said helplessly: "Brothers, actually I don't want to do this. After all, you have been with me for 10 years. It would be fake if you don't have feelings.

But, as the saying goes, , I am not a poisonous husband, I am not a gentleman, I really don’t want to share this 10,000 taels of silver with you!

So what should I do? You can report to the underworld first! , I’ll burn more paper for you, but don’t expect me to be cruel!” After

finished speaking, Wang Xiaobao burst out laughing.

At this time, when the big men lying on the ground heard this, they all showed resentful eyes and stared at Wang Xiaobao.

After a while, they used their last breath to say: "Wang Xiaobao, you have to die well, we will not let you go even if we are ghosts."

As soon as they finished speaking, these big men all stared with big eyes and died unwillingly. .

After Wang Xiaobao saw it, he suddenly stood up, drank a bowl of wine immediately, and threw the bowl to the ground.

then said coldly: "People die for money and birds die for food. This is the law. It's just that you are too young and can only be my scapegoat. When the news passes, I will naturally come and take away the money. When the time comes, I will help you spend it well!" After

said this, Wang Xiaobao turned around and ran away.

Three days later, when an old man selling tofu passed by the door of this house, he suddenly smelled a strong stench, which made him frown and felt something was wrong.

So, driven by curiosity, the old man slowly opened the door and walked in.

Unexpectedly, when he walked into the house and took a look, his back was instantly frightened. He saw several rotting corpses lying on the ground, with many mung bean flies buzzing above them.

Seeing this, the old man turned around and ran to the Yamen to report the crime without saying a word.

About two hours later, after County Magistrate Zhang got the news, he immediately rushed to the scene with his government officials.

Finally, after some verification by Zuo Zuo, it was confirmed that these corpses were the group that robbed the official banknotes.

County Magistrate Zhang frowned when he heard the result. He thought to himself: The clue was broken here, where did the money go? How can I recover it?

At this moment, the master suddenly said: "Sir, after verification, these people all died of poisoning. There are still doubts about this case."

When Magistrate Zhang heard this, his eyes lit up instantly, and then he said to the master Made some remarks.

After hearing this, the master turned around and took the people to make arrangements without saying a word!

Just like that, 20 days passed in the blink of an eye.

At noon that day, the proprietress of Yuelai Inn was working on the abacus at the counter when she suddenly saw a strange big man. After entering the store, he actually looked around and kept looking around.

After seeing this, the landlady frowned, and then said to him with a smile: "Hey, guest officer, are you staying in a hotel? Or are you in the hotel?"

The big man saw the appearance of the landlady, and she looked so good. She has fair skin, beautiful appearance and long legs, and her mouth watered immediately. .

So, he stretched, pretended to be very tired, and said with a smile: "Oh! I've been traveling all day, of course I have to stay in a hotel!"

"Oh! This guest officer , if you want to stay in a hotel, this is the right place! Our hotel’s room is clean and spacious, and we will give you a bowl of red bean soup for free. Did I make this myself?”

The landlady heard that the guest wanted to stay in the hotel. , he immediately became energetic and said with a smile.

When the big man heard this, he immediately laughed! Then he said: "Hey! I didn't see it! You are still a good cook, so I want to taste it. I'll wait for you in the room!" After

finished speaking, the big man glanced at the landlady secretly. , turned around and followed the waiter back to the room!

After a while, the landlady came to the big man's room carrying a bowl of red bean soup.

After the big man took a sip, he immediately smiled and said: "Yes, this tastes great. Boss lady, your craftsmanship is amazing! I, Zhang Daniu, have traveled all over the world in my life, and this is the first time I have tasted such good red bean soup."

"Hey, it turns out to be Boss Zhang! I made you laugh. By the way, what kind of business do you do?" The landlady smiled and said immediately.

When Zhang Daniu heard this, he immediately said with a proud look: "To tell you the truth, my hometown lives in Zhao County , 100 miles away. Because my silk and satin business needs to expand, I want to open another one here. "

" Then you are really awesome. By the way, have you found a suitable shop?" The lady boss asked in surprise after hearing this.

"Hey! I looked around a bit and fell in love with the house not far from the back alley. Unfortunately, I don't know who to buy it for."

When Zhang Daniu heard this, he immediately pretended to be pitiful. Said like that.

Unexpectedly, when the proprietress heard this, she turned pale with fright, and then said with a horrified look: "Boss Zhang, are you sure you want to buy that house?"

"Yes! Of course I want to buy it, I see that house. The feng shui is good and it will definitely help me get rich!" Zhang Daniu said with a smile.

At this time, the landlady shouted in fright: "Boss Zhang, you have to think twice! I heard that this house has been haunted at night since the accident. It is said that it has scared away several buyers!"

"Then what should we do? This is the house I'm attracted to. I can't stand other houses either!"

Zhang Daniu said with a pretended look of helplessness.

After a while, the landlady calmed down and said to him: "Boss Zhang, if you insist on that house, you must buy a little black dog, and then walk in with the little black dog. I guess it will be safe."

When Zhang Daniu heard this, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart: How could there be so many ghosts in this world? It's just a trick to scare people.

So, he didn't have much to say, so he took out 10 taels of silver from his body and put it in the hands of the landlady.

Then, he smiled and said to her: "Madam boss, this is a reward for you. As long as you can help me buy that house, I will not treat you badly."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Daniu sneaked away secretly Touch the boss lady's little hand.

As a result, the proprietress gave him a hard look, then turned around and walked out of the door!

When Zhang Daniu saw the back of the landlady leaving, he actually raised his palm and smelled it, and suddenly laughed.

At three o'clock in the evening, Zhang Daniu suddenly opened his eyes, with a flash of light in his eyes, he immediately put on his night clothes, hugged the little black dog he had prepared in advance, and jumped out of the window in one move.

After a while, Zhang Daniu came to the gate of the haunted house, took a look at the little black dog in his arms, and then calmed down.

To be honest, he is very courageous, not because he is afraid of ghosts, but just for peace of mind.

After a while, he stretched out his right hand and slowly pushed the door of the deserted house, and then heard a creaking sound.

When he walked into the door, a cold wind suddenly blew from all around, making him shiver all over.

At this time, he couldn't help but think: "Why is there such a cold wind in this summer? Is there really a ghost?"

Thinking of this, he immediately put the little black dog on the ground and let the little black dog run forward. .

Then, Zhang Daniu took advantage of the moonlight and walked to the backyard with ease. When he came to a peach tree, he took out the Luoyang shovel and dug down.

After a while, I suddenly heard a local noise and saw an iron box appearing in the pit.

When he opened the box, he saw that the box was full of silver, which immediately made him smile.

At this moment, something strange happened!

Suddenly two figures, one black and one white, fell from the peach tree and floated in the air.

Then Bai Ying said coldly: "Wang Xiaobao, you have made me suffer so much! Give me back my life."

When Zhang Daniu heard this, his scalp was numb with fear, but he still had to bite the bullet, He said disdainfully: "I don't care whether you are a human or a ghost? You were killed by me when you were alive, and now you have become a ghost. How can I be afraid of you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Wang Xiaobao holding a Luoyang shovel , and killed these two people.

Soon after, Wang Xiaobao suddenly felt a strong sense of pain and was kicked 2 feet away in an instant. He fell to the ground and groaned.

At this moment, many torches suddenly lit up all around, lighting up the entire scene.

When Wang Xiaobao saw this situation, he still didn’t know where this was a ghost! This is clearly a trap.

What he didn't expect was that Magistrate Zhang actually walked out from behind the crowd and came to Wang Xiaobao with the proprietress of the inn.

said directly and coldly: "Boy, you finally showed up, I had to wait so hard!"

When Wang Xiaobao saw that he could not escape, he immediately asked curiously: "Sir, I deserve to die, but why is this boss lady? Will I be by your side?"

Magistrate Zhang was about to answer when he suddenly walked up to him and said with a smile: "Dad, my daughter is right!"

Everyone must be curious about what is going on. Woolen cloth?

It turns out that 20 days ago, when Magistrate Zhang learned that the robbers had been poisoned to death, and their deaths were a bit strange, this must be due to uneven distribution of the spoils and internal strife.

So he concluded that there must be an important person running away behind this, after all, the silver coins have not been found yet.

So, Magistrate Zhang sent people to keep an eye on the inn near the house. Coincidentally, the Yuelai Inn was owned by his daughter. Finally, under his careful arrangement, this scene happened. .

After hearing this, Wang Xiaobao immediately smiled bitterly, confessed to his crime, and shed tears of regret.

When Magistrate Zhang saw this, he immediately shouted: "Here comes someone! Put this man on death row and he will be executed at three o'clock tomorrow at noon."

"Yes, sir, I obey." Upon hearing this, the Yamen officer immediately arrested him. Wang Xiaobao is gone.

Postscript:

At noon the next day, Magistrate Zhang came to the execution ground and asked the government officials to read out various crimes committed by Wang Xiaobao. When the people in the audience heard this, they immediately became angry and threw eggs and vegetable leaves at Wang Xiaobao. , always a mess.

At this moment, Magistrate Zhang suddenly shouted: "It's three quarters at noon, let's kill him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Magistrate Zhang immediately threw out a beheading token.

At this time, when Wang Xiaobao heard this, he was so frightened that he shouted to the sky: " Good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil. It's not that there will be no reward, the time has not yet come! Don't let me be a human being in the next life, I want to be a Just a pig..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a "pop" sound and his head fell to the ground. A generation of robbers, Wang Xiaobao, ended his life like this!

The story is over!
