In ancient times, there was a wealthy businessman named Zhao Hui in Qinghe County, Luozhou City, who was very powerful in the local area. Not only that, Zhao Hui's cousin Zhao Wen served in the Ministry of Personnel in the capital. Although his official position was not high, he knew many powerful people.
said that Zhao Hui has a son named Zhao Xuri. Although he looks handsome, he relies on his father's wealth and power, showing off his strength on weekdays, eating, drinking and having fun all day, and having a bohemian style.
Zhao Xuri is twenty-six or seven years old.
Seeing that his son was doing nothing, Zhao Hui thought about letting his son do some small business so that he could take charge of the Zhao family in the future.
But Zhao Xuri is better. He has no interest in business and is fascinated by the official position.
learned that his uncle was an official in the capital, so Zhao Xuri begged his father to ask his uncle to help him find a job in Qinghe County .
Although Zhao Hui knew that his son was incompetent, he spoiled his son very much; in order not to make his son sad, he personally went to the capital to visit Zhao Wen and asked him to help operate the matter.
Before leaving, Zhao Hui secretly left a silver note.
Zhao Wen, who got the benefits, naturally did his best to do this.
A month later, Zhao Xuri successfully became a small official, which is equivalent to the film length, and is responsible for managing an area.
said that on the day of taking office, he had always loved to show off, and sent an invitation to the people in his jurisdiction in advance, inviting 100 people to welcome him to take office.
Although many people came that day, it was quite lively.
, but Zhao Xuri found that no monk came to welcome him.
You know that there is a temple in his jurisdiction, and there are about a dozen monks in the temple, but now none of them is here.
At that time, he was very angry.
That day, he sent his subordinates to investigate the matter and learned that it was Huilong, the abbot of the temple, who refused to let the monk come.
The narrow-minded Zhao Xuri believed that this was the intentional opposition to him by Mr. Huilong without giving face.
In order to retaliate against Huilong, Zhao Xuri thought of a dirty way.
A few days later, it was raining heavily late that night.
Suddenly, a young woman ran into the temple in panic and headed straight to Huilong's room.
"Help, help"
Huilong heard the woman's help and quickly opened the door.
"Master, someone wants to kill me, please save me."
Huilong hesitated for a moment, then looked up and found that there were several good black people not far away, each holding a knife.
Before there was any time to think about it, Huilong quickly pulled the woman into the house.
Seeing that the woman was soaked all over, Huilong found a piece of clothing for the woman to change into.
The woman knelt down and thanked her.
She told Huilong that she was originally a duty woman named Qin Yuxuan; because her father owed a gambling debt, in order to repay the debt, her father sold her to a brothel as a dancer.
But Qin Yuxuan knew that brothels were a place of dust, so she kept looking for opportunities to slip away.
That day, she took advantage of the madam getting drunk and ran away.
Unexpectedly, the guy in the brothel discovered that he was chased by the man in black.
Huilong was quite sympathetic to what happened to Qin.
Just as he was thinking about how to place Qin's family, suddenly Qin's family sprinkled a packet of white powder, and then Huilong fainted.
Wait Huilong woke up and found Qin lying beside him.
At this moment, Huilong was very ashamed. Thinking that as a monk, I have committed heinous crimes now.
After driving Qin's family away, Huilong committed suicide by hanging his beam.
In fact, Huilong didn't know that this Qin family was Zhao Xuri, who selected a dancer from the brothel, deliberately staged a scene where Qin family was hunted down, so that Qin family had the opportunity to approach Monk Huilong, and then used Huilong's kindness to make him dizzy while he was unprepared, causing him to lose his body.
In Zhao Xuri's view, only in this way can Huilong be tortured and let him live in endless guilt forever.
I didn’t expect Huilong to end his life.
It’s a coincidence that on the day of Huilong’s funeral, Zhao Xuri’s wife Pan gave birth to a daughter and named her Zhao Qiumei.
is also a retribution. When Zhao Qiumei was five years old, Zhao Xuri died of sudden illness.
With Zhao Xuri's death, the Zhao family quickly declined.
Poor Pan pulled his daughter up with great difficulty.
More than ten years have passed.
In order to make a living, Pan betrothed his daughter to Mr. Li as his concubine.
However, Mr. Li died in less than two years.
Later, Zhao Qiumei was sold to a brothel by the Li family as a dancer.
Coincidentally, the brothel is Qin's family.
Learned that Zhao Qiumei was Zhao Xuri's daughter, Qin sighed, "Retribution, this is really a cycle of cause and effect"
In fact, after Huilong committed suicide, Qin has been feeling guilty; over the years, Qin has insisted on worshiping Huilong, hoping to relieve her sins.
When Zhao Qiumei learned of the sins her father committed, she couldn't accept it for a moment.
Later, Zhao Qiumei planned to cut her hair into a nun to atone for her father.
But Qin believes that the mistakes Zhao Xuri made back then should not be borne by his descendants; thinking that Zhao Qiumei was miserable enough, she took out her savings to redeem Qiumei, let her leave the brothel and find an honest person to live a new life.
After settling Qiumei, Qin left the brothel and went to the nunnery to atone for his sins for the rest of his life.
