In the arbitrary township in Zhitang, Changshu, there is a wealthy family named Qian Minzhi, whose courtesy name is Wailang. This guy is very rich, but he is not upright and lustful, and has harmed many young women. However, because his family has money and can spend money to bribe officials, Qian Minzhi has never been punished.
When the locals mentioned Qian Minzhi, they were very angry and wanted to kill him.
But as the saying goes, don’t fight against the rich, and don’t fight against the officials. Qian Minzhi has money and the government supports him behind him. Everyone can’t do anything about him. So people gave him a nickname based on his words, calling him Bad Wolf.
Recently, a couple moved in the local area. Her husband is Zhao Chongyang and his wife is Zhao's . Zhao Chongyang's family is very poor and often hungry, while Zhao's family is very young and beautiful. Poor and humble couples are sad about everything. Because of poverty, they often quarrel and have a bad relationship.
By chance, Qian Minzhi passed by Zhao Chongyang's house and saw his wife. At that moment, when he saw Zhao's celestial appearance, he immediately made up his mind: I will get this woman even if I die.
So, he pretended to be thirsty and went to Zhao Chongyang's house to borrow some water to drink. When Zhao saw the stranger coming, he hurried into the house. Zhao Chongyang took a bowl, scooped a bowl of water into the house, and brought it to Qian Minzhi.
After drinking water, Qian Minzhi saw that Zhao Chongyang’s family was very poor, he suddenly had a plan in his mind. So he deliberately took out a few taels of silver and gave it to Zhao Chongyang, saying that he was thanking him for this bowl of water. He had no choice but to give it money.
Although Zhao Chongyang is poor, he is quite ambitious and said, "It's just a bowl of water, it's not worth it. I can't ask for your money."
Qian Minzhi said, "I think your family is very poor, and my family is still rich. This money is just for you to use the capital to do business. You can use this money to do some small business and subsidize your family's income, which is good."
Zhao Chongyang said again, "I'm just a farmer and don't know how to do business. If I mess up and waste money, I'll still have to pay. It doesn't cost so much."
Qian Minzhi smiled and said, "These few taels of silver are not much, just use it. I have some experience in doing business. Now, you can make some local silk cloth and sell it in Linqing and other places. There is no good silk cloth here here. You can buy more, and the price is lower. After arriving in Linqing, you can sell it at a good price."
Zhao Chongyang heard it and thanked him repeatedly. He immediately asked his wife to come out and thank Qian Minzhi together. He also asked his wife to make a few more dishes and treat Qian Minzhi well.
Qian Minzhi was naturally not polite, so he stayed there. During this period, he often went to see Zhao intentionally or unintentionally. After Zhao noticed it, he was not angry, and was a little shy, and kept giving Qian Minzhi a glimpse. Obviously, she is also interested in Qian Minzhi.
It turns out that Zhao's water-born Poplar flower was not at ease in her hometown and had an affair with a few gangsters. Zhao Chongyang couldn't stand it anymore and scolded her countless times, but Zhao did not correct it. This is not because Zhao Chongyang is useless, but because Zhao despises the poor and loves the rich, and thinks that Zhao Chongyang is poor and cannot satisfy her material life. Zhao Chongyang really had no choice but to hit her, so he moved to Changshu .
So far, because of Zhao's affair with a strange man, Zhao Chongyang has moved three times, and his short-lived family background has been spent. After
, Qian Minzhi went to Zhao Chongyang's house several times, gave him money, and then taught him how to do business, how to negotiate prices, where to go closer, etc. Zhao Chongyang learned very quickly and was not prepared for this rich man.
Two days later, Zhao Chongyang took a boat to Linqing by water with silk cloth.
As soon as Zhao Chongyang left, Qian Minzhi came to his house and hooked up with Zhao. Zhao had originally intended him, but could not resist Qian Minzhi's love words and methods. In less than a moment, the two of them drank from the table and went to bed.
So, in order to make money, Zhao Chongyang bought clothes and jewelry for his wife, sweating profusely on the boat and on the ground; while Qian Minzhi and Zhao were also sweating profusely on his home and on the bed.
Good things don’t go out, bad things go through thousands of miles.Soon, everyone in the neighbors knew about Qian Minzhi and Zhao's scandal, but everyone was watching the fun and discussing it secretly, and no one went to report to the official.
Only Zhao Chongyang doesn’t know, he is still in the dark.
Sometimes, Zhao Chongyang goes home to visit his wife, gives his wife money and gifts, and stays at home for two days, Qian Minzhi will urge him to go out and make more money, etc. Zhao also urged her husband to say that he was good at home.
On this day, Zhao Chongyang went home, gave Zhao some money, and bought a few pieces of jewelry. Zhao was lukewarm and asked him to invite his benefactor Qian Minzhi to have a meal. After Qian Minzhi came, he had dinner and still told Zhao Chongyang not to stay at home for more time. He should go out to make more money while he was young.
After saying that, Qian Minzhi left.
Zhao Chongyang did not doubt it. After dinner, he simply packed up and said goodbye to his wife. When he went out, he accidentally touched the person at the entrance of the village and he quickly apologized. Unexpectedly, the man was furious and scolded Zhao Chongyang a few words. Zhao Chongyang was so angry that he started arguing with him and almost started to attack. When the man was excited, he mocked Zhao Chongyang for "You have a green head but you don't know, but you have the leisure to quarrel with me." He directly told Zhao Chongyang about being cuckolded.
When Zhao Chongyang heard this, he was shocked and hurriedly went home quietly.
After returning home, Zhao Chongyang heard a strange sound and rushed into the room to see Qian Minzhi holding Zhao and drinking. Qian Min's hand was not honest on Zhao, while Zhao fed him with his mouth to drink, and the scene was unsightly. Zhao Chongyang was furious and was so angry that he wanted to find a knife to cut Qian Minzhi. Qian Minzhi has seen such scenes as
several times, so he was not panicked and shouted: "Zhao Chongyang, have you forgotten that I gave you money and sponsored you to do business? Without me, how could you be today?"
while Zhao Chongyang was in a daze, he quickly slipped away.
Zhao Chongyang was angry, he cursed a few times, and then went outside. Later, when he returned to the boat, the boatman was still complaining that he did not come back in time and that he had waited for a long time, which delayed his business and required extra money to wait. Zhao Chongyang was not in the mood and gave the boatman a few more cents to tell him not to set off.
Qian Minzhi kept following Zhao Chongyang secretly. When he saw Zhao Chongyang boarding the boat, he felt a little relieved. In the middle of the night, the boatman fell asleep, and Qian Minzhi held his throat and called Zhao Chongyang to come down. It was dark in the middle of the night, and Zhao Chongyang heard the sound unfamiliar, and he didn't know who was opposite. After getting off the boat, Zhao Chongyang had just taken two steps, and Qian Minzhi took out a knife and stabbed him to death while he was unprepared.
After dawn, the boatman was shocked when he saw Zhao Chongyang's body and quickly reported to the official.
The county magistrate named Yang Ziqi. After learning that Zhao Chongyang was killed, he immediately took the coroner for an autopsy. The result was not complicated, and the weapon was still next to Zhao Chongyang's body.
The county magistrate asked the boatman, and the boatman told the truth. He mentioned the situation when Zhao Chongyang boarded the boat, and seemed to have something to do. The county magistrate called his wife Zhao and people from his neighbors to ask, but Zhao naturally said he didn't know. However, neighbors revealed that Zhao often receives Qian Minzhi while her husband is not at home.
This time, the county magistrate has basically determined what is going on. However, when he interrogated Qian Min, he refused to admit it. The county magistrate could not bear to be punished and locked Zhao and Qian Minzhi in prisons for men and women.
Coincidentally, since Zhao Chongyang's death, the local area has started to have a drought. It has not rained for three consecutive months.
The magistrate quietly said to the county magistrate: "Sir, do you know why God has not rained? It's because of injustice! Zhao Chongyang was killed, obviously because of Qian Minzhi's cause. Someone has seen the knife on him. If the magistrate can execute him, it will definitely rain."
County magistrate sighed and said: "I also know that Zhao Chongyang was killed by Qian Minzhi, but Qian Minzhi refused to admit his guilt. What should I do?"
The magistrate smiled and said, "Sir, he refused to admit his guilt, so he ordered him to confess his guilt. If such a bad person does not let him suffer a little, even if he has complete personal evidence and physical evidence, he will not admit his guilt." The magistrate of
understood and said, "I have never liked the punishment for serving the great punishment." The magistrate of
also said, "Punishment is used to punish evil people. If such evil people are not used, how could they confess their guilt? He would not be allowed to admit it after a slaughter.What's more, the adults also know that this is not torture and torture confessions, or to turn black and white into black, but to punish evil people. "
The county magistrate was told, and he was even more worried about the drought, so he agreed.
The next morning, the county magistrate was promoted to the court and continued to interrogate Qian Minzhi. Qian Minzhi did not plead guilty, and the county magistrate was furious and directly asked someone to beat thirty boards and beat them heavily. After just ten beats, Qian Minzhi, who was pampered and had to bear it, admitted that he had killed Zhao Chongyang. So the county magistrate immediately sentenced the case, Qian Minzhi was executed after the autumn, Zhao took off his clothes and had to travel The street was half a day, and the final death penalty was also. As soon as the
judgment result came out, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it immediately rained heavily. Everyone in the county cheered and shouted "Master Qingtian".
Not long after, there were some prisoners in the prison. They were thieves who were sentenced to death for robbery, stealing, and murdering people.
Qian Minyi saw that the opportunity came and immediately said to the robbers: "I know, you were sentenced to death. If you can admit that you killed Zhao Chongyang, you will be guilty of death, but I will survive. Moreover, I am very rich. As long as I go out alive, in the days ahead, I will send you good wine and meat to you every day and take care of your family. How about it? "
When the robbers heard this, they thought it was good, so they agreed.
As expected, Qian Minzhi shouted loudly again, saying that the robbers killed Zhao Chongyang. The county magistrate had no choice but to retrieve the case. For the sake of his mouth, the robbers also described the story of killing Zhao Chongyang as if they were not bad, and said that the knife was also stolen, etc.
Of course , the county magistrate didn't believe it. Soon, the case alarmed the prefect, and the prefect asked the county magistrate what was going on.
The county magistrate was very righteous and said, "The prison guard told me that this is a good thing between Qian Minzhi and the robbers, and the prefect doesn't have to pay attention to it." He was just taking a wrong path and thinking about living. Haha, if I don't even know this, I can't be a county magistrate!"
So, Qian Minzhi's method didn't work. He asked his family who delivered the meal to continue to sue and sue the Nanjing Three Laws. He also asked his family to give more money to XX. As a result, the three judicial departments of and retried the case, and believed the robber's words and found Zhao and Qian Minzhi innocent.
On the day he was released from prison, Qian Minzhi and Zhao were very happy and thought nothing had happened. However, in an instant, thunder rolled in the sky, and a thunder exploded. Qian Minzhi and Zhao were immediately struck to death by lightning. At the same time, an official from the Three Laws and Litigation Department in Nanjing was also struck to death by lightning.
People say that even if the bad guys who do evil are sheltered by bad guys, they will never escape the punishment of God.
