Our ancestors left behind an old saying, good will be rewarded with good, evil will be rewarded with evil. It’s not that you don’t report that the time has not come yet.

, do you believe it?

During the Qing Dynasty, there was a scholar named Xue Ling in Xiangyang. He studied hard for more than ten years in Hanchuang, but failed to pass the examination. Unfortunately, his family was too poor to make a living, so he had to give up his studies and change his career to become a lawyer, helping people write petitions. Lawsuits, raising a family.

In order to make money, Xue Ling often confused right and wrong, framed good people, and did a lot of immoral things.

On this day, Xue Ling helped a rich man win another lawsuit and occupied the property of an ordinary family, forcing the family to be separated and left without a place to live.

At the celebration banquet, Xue Ling got very drunk. On the way home at night, a gust of cool wind blew by. The drunkenness made him weak, and he fell down at the door of Wenchang Temple and fell asleep.

In a daze, Xue Ling found himself chained and involuntarily pulled into a majestic and magnificent hall.

The person sitting in the hall was wearing a red robe and a crown that reached the sky, just like the legendary judge of the underworld. Next to him stood two rows of black officials, holding water and fire sticks, shouting about power and looking serious.

Xue Ling was so frightened that he trembled and knelt on the ground without daring to raise his head. He saw a booklet thrown down from the stage and landed in front of him. It recorded in detail all the bad things he had done over the years, including peeking at women. Small mistakes such as taking a bath are clearly written down. Finally, he noted that his blessings were about to end and he only had one month left to live.

After reading it, Xue Ling was sweating profusely and kowtowed and begged repeatedly, claiming that although he deserved his punishment, he still hoped that he still had an old mother to support at home and could be given a few more months of grace while he dealt with his funeral affairs.

The person on the stage said: "For the time being, you are filial to your mother and a filial son. I advise you to change quickly. There is still room for maneuver. If you don't change your bad behavior, you will not be punished when the time comes."

After that, the person on the stage said The man waved his hand and had Xue Ling driven out of the door.

Xue Ling felt his body sink suddenly. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was still lying at the door of Wenchang Temple. There was silence around him and not even a single person could be seen. It turned out to be a dream.

Thinking back to the previous dream, everything was vividly before his eyes. Xue Ling broke out in a cold sweat and had the idea of ​​repentance in his heart. But when he thought about it again, even if he did not help the bad guys with the lawsuit, how could he do good deeds and make up for the evil in the past? OK?

Xue Ling thought hard until the sky became white, and then he realized: "Although helping people with lawsuits can make money and harm people, it can also help people clear their grievances, seek justice, and save people from misery. Isn't this just accumulating virtue and doing good deeds?"

Having made up his mind, Xue Ling swore to the sky that from now on, whenever he helps others in a lawsuit, he should not win the lawsuit for the sake of making money, but should find ways to mediate. If you encounter a bad person who files a complaint first, you will definitely reprimand him as much as possible; you will only help those who are at a disadvantage to write a complaint.

In this way, Xue Ling bid farewell to the past, and no longer helped the tyrants, and fought lawsuits for the bad guys. He was still active after the one-month restriction. Although his living standard was not as good as before, his reputation in the local area changed and he was called "Xue Ling". "A great benevolent man" and will work harder to do good deeds from now on.

There was a family. The man died of illness, leaving only orphans and widows. In order to seize the family property, the tribesmen falsely accused the woman of having an affair with others and that the child was a bastard. They went to the Yamen to file a lawsuit and demanded that the woman be driven back to her natal family. Cleanse yourself and leave home.

The woman suffered an unjust injustice and cried all day long and vowed to seek death. This matter reached the ears of Xue Ling, who asked around to confirm the woman's innocence and decided to help her file a lawsuit.

Someone advised Xue Ling that doing more is worse than doing less. The other party's family has a large number of people and has considerable influence in the local area. He must not act on his own initiative and get into trouble.

Xue Ling said angrily: "Protecting chastity and safeguarding the legal rights of widows and orphans is the law of heaven. I want to do justice for heaven. What do I have to fear? If trouble occurs, I will bear the responsibility alone."

Everyone admired his righteousness and expressed their willingness to do so. Serve as a witness to prove the widow's innocence.

With everyone's help, Xue Ling collected detailed evidence and submitted it to the Yamen. He tried his best to state the details of the false accusations made by his husband's family. His words were well-organized and everyone burst into tears and felt sympathy.

With all the personal and material evidence available, the tribesmen were at a loss for explanation and could only admit that the widow had the right to inherit property, and the case was ruled unsuccessful.

The widow washed away her grievances and took out one hundred taels of silver to thank Xue Ling. Xue Ling firmly refused to accept it and said angrily: "I helped you with the lawsuit just for the sake of justice. You gave me so much money. Isn't this an insult to me?" After that, he walked away.

After this incident spread, Xue Ling became even more famous in the local area.

Time flies, and decades have passed. Although Xue Ling is over sixty years old, he is still bright-sighted, energetic, and has a loud voice. He looks like he is only in his forties. The family is happy, full of children and grandchildren, and all of them are promising. Either he was an official in the court or a wealthy businessman, becoming a wealthy family that everyone envied.
