Liu Qingyu was a down-and-out scholar. After repeatedly failing the exam, he felt that his career path was dead, so he had to work as a bookkeeper in a county business firm.

Liu Qingyu is honest, hard-working and flexible. He was quickly appreciated by his employer, established a firm foothold in the business firm, and doubled his salary.

After his life stabilized, Liu Qingyu thought about getting married, but since he had no house in the county, he had to go back to his hometown to get married. His hometown is fifty miles away from the county seat, and he cannot go back and forth every day, so he has to arrange for his newly married wife, Chang, to stay in his hometown. He goes back to stay for two or three days every ten days and a half.

At first, the Chang family was quite virtuous. They all stayed at home and took care of the housework, waiting for Liu Qingyu to come back. Every time Liu Qingyu comes back, he will buy Chang some new women's gadgets, sometimes it is a skirt, sometimes it is a box of fragrant powder , sometimes it is a phoenix bra. In addition to these, Liu Qingyu would also leave all his monthly salary to the Chang family, worrying that she would have no money to spend at home.

As time went by, Mrs. Chang had money in her hands, and she also had some things that no country people had ever seen. Every time Mrs. Chang walked around the village, she would attract the envious eyes of a group of older girls and younger wives.

Chang's vanity was greatly satisfied, so he often put away his flowers and wandered around the village, which naturally attracted the attention of some impure people.

Butcher Zhang in the village is one of them. Butcher Zhang is already in his thirties. Just because he is a butcher of pigs, he is fat and short, and the smell of blood on his body is too strong. No one is willing to marry their daughter to him. The butcher also became an old bachelor.

He often saw Mrs. Chang dressed up and wandering around the village alone, and he had bad thoughts. On this day, when he saw Mrs. Chang passing by his stall, he hurriedly went up to chat with her and said, "Sister, you look really good in your clothes today."

Mrs. Chang felt happy when she heard someone complimenting her on her beauty. He quickly stopped to chat with Butcher Zhang. After chatting for a while, Butcher Zhang quickly cut off two kilograms of meat and stuffed it into Chang's hands and said, "Sister, I can't sell all the meat today. I'll cut some for you to take home and eat." "

Mrs. Chang said: "Brother Zhang, how embarrassing is this!" But he took the meat from Butcher Zhang and said goodbye with a smile.

Butcher Zhang almost drooled when he looked at Chang's slender back, but when he thought that Chang had accepted the meat, he felt that he would definitely have the opportunity to do it, and he felt happy.

After two or three days, Butcher Zhang estimated that Chang's meat was finished. He closed the stall early that afternoon and took another two kilograms of meat to Chang's home.

Mrs. Chang was washing clothes in the yard. When she saw Butcher Zhang coming to the door with meat, she quickly and warmly welcomed him into the house, making tea and getting fruits, and walked back and forth in front of Butcher Zhang.

Butcher Zhang couldn't hold himself back for a long time. He walked over and hugged Mrs. Chang and said, "Don't be busy. I've liked you for a long time. Just come and stay with me. I won't treat you badly."

Mrs. Chang She wanted to resist at first, but when she heard that she would not be treated badly, she immediately made a mental calculation: Liu Qingyu is a good person, but he doesn't come back often, and it's quite lonely for him to stay alone in his empty room all the time. It would also be a good thing if two men spend their money on themselves.

So she half-heartedly satisfied Butcher Zhang. When Butcher Zhang was happy, he did not treat Chang badly and gave her all the money from selling the meat that day.

The two of them each had their own little plans, and they hooked up together for a long time. On this day, Mrs. Chang said to Butcher Zhang: "Don't come here again these days. My husband, Xiu Mu, will be back soon."

Although Butcher Zhang had a thousand reluctances in his heart, they were the original couple. , I couldn't say anything, so I had to go out with an unhappy face.

In the next few days, Butcher Zhang watched Liu Qingyu and Chang having sex in the village, talking and laughing, which completely ignited the fire of jealousy in his heart. When he chopped meat, he used twice as many knives as usual. of strength.

Finally, when Liu Qingyu was about to return to the county town, Butcher Zhang did not rush to find Chang, but quietly followed Liu Qingyu with a knife.

Liu Qingyu had to go to work the next day, so he rushed to the county at dusk the day before. He was in a hurry and didn't pay attention to the people behind him. When he reached a cemetery, it was already dark. Although he was a scholar, he couldn't He believed in gods and ghosts, but the gusts of sinister wind still made him stand on his head.

He speeded up his pace a little. When he was concentrating on his way, he suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his back. When he touched it, there was a knife stuck in his back. Before he could react, the other party stabbed him again.

Poor Liu Qingyu didn't even see the other person's face and fell down slowly. Butcher Zhang kicked Liu Qingyu who was lying on the ground and found that he stopped moving, so he thought he was dead.

used the moonlight to find a new grave next to it, so he quickly opened the grave with a knife, opened the coffin and threw Liu Qingyu in, then covered the coffin and filled it with soil, and cleaned up the blood stains around it. He thought he had done it perfectly. Return to find Chang.

Liu Qingyu's life should not be cut off. This new grave belongs to Chu Yuanwai from the next village. He was just buried today. Because the Chu family has a rich family background and Chu Yuanwai is the head of the family, there are many valuable things buried in the tomb.

There are two tomb robbers . They inquired about the situation during the day and were ready to take action in the dead of night. As soon as Butcher Zhang left, the tomb robbers dug up the grave with their hind legs. Just as they opened the coffin lid and prepared to take out the burial objects, Liu Qingyu woke up slowly, grabbed one of the hands and said, "Save me! Save me!"

Tomb Robbers The thief screamed and ran away in fright. As he ran, he shouted: "Mr. Chu is resurrected! Mr. Chu is resurrected!"

This word soon spread to the Chu family. When they heard that Mr. Chu was resurrected, his two The son took a dozen people with him to the cemetery overnight, lighting torches.

The Chu family found that the grave had been dug up, and next to Mr. Chu lay a young man covered in blood. They thought the situation was serious and immediately reported it to the police.

The county magistrate received the report and took people to the cemetery overnight to check. He found that Liu Qingyu still had a faint breath and quickly ordered the doctor to stop the bleeding and rescue him.

A few hours later, Liu Qingyu woke up and saw that he was surrounded by government officials, and then he realized what had happened. He quickly gave his home address and business address, but he only knew that he was hacked in the cemetery and did not know who hacked him.

The county magistrate was thinking about an honest accountant who usually had no grudges against others. How could someone want his life? This matter was quite strange.

So he decided to take people to his house to look for some clues. When they arrived at Liu Qingyu's house, it was still dark. The county magistrate ordered someone to knock on the door, but he heard a male voice yelling irritably: "Who is it?"

The county magistrate was immediately confused. Didn't Liu Qingyu say that his wife was the only one in the house? How could there be a man? It seems that Liu Qingyu was not simply killed, but a deliberate murder.

The county magistrate waved, and several government officials swarmed into the inner room. They found Mrs. Chang and Butcher Zhang disheveled on the bed, and they instantly understood something.

The county magistrate brought Chang and Butcher Zhang to the court, and ordered people to carry Liu Qingyu up. When Butcher Zhang saw Liu Qingyu, his face turned pale with fright, and he stammered: "You...how are you still alive?" When the county magistrate heard this, he realized that there was something fishy. He slapped the gavel and shouted: "You are bold and cunning. You dare to take innocent people's lives and you don't deserve it."

Zhang Butcher realized that he had made a mistake, so he quickly knelt down and told the whole story. Liu Qingyu was heartbroken when he heard that his beloved wife had betrayed him a long time ago. It turned into eight petals, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

The county magistrate had no choice but to have people carry him down for rescue. Chang did not expect that his scandal would be revealed. Not only did the wishful thinking of the two men come to nothing, but his husband-in-law almost lost his life. She felt that she Wu Yangou lives in this world, and when others are not prepared, he hits a pillar and dies.

Butcher Zhang was sentenced to death by the county magistrate for seducing his wife and deliberately murdering her.

Liu Qingyu was physically and mentally damaged, and it took him three months to recover before he returned to normal. He sold the house in his hometown and lived in the county town for a long time. He never married again in his life.

The hearts of the people are like snakes swallowing elephants. If Chang had not been vain and greedy for money, she would not have given Butcher Zhang an opportunity to take advantage of her. This caused Butcher Zhang to become jealous and hateful, and he did impulsive things. As a result, neither of them ended up well.
