In the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a scholar named Zhang Liang in Qingzhou City. There was also an older brother named Zhang Yong in the family. The two brothers were two years apart. Both Zhang's parents were honest and opened a grocery store in the city. The goods in the store were of good quality and low price, so the business was pretty good.
Zhang Yong is at the age of marriage. According to the matchmaker, he married Wang Yuyan, the younger sister next door. Wang Yuyan is very beautiful. She has liked Zhang Yong's brother from her neighbor since she was a child. So when the matchmaker came to talk about the matchmaker, she was full of joy. Her parents had long liked Zhang Yong when they saw her daughter. In addition, Zhang Yong was loyal, honest, kind and filial, and knew the truth, so he agreed to this marriage.
The marriage went smoothly, so Zhang Yong married the beautiful Wang Yuyan.
After marriage, the couple is loving, Zhang Yong goes to the grocery store to help his parents every day, and Wang Yuyan prepares the meal at noon every day and delivers them food.
On this day, Wang Yuyan carried the food box to the grocery store as usual. Because she was in a hurry, Yang bumped into someone on the way, and the food in the food box was spread all over the floor. Seeing that the food had been sprinkled, Wang Yuyan couldn't help but frown. The man she hit was about to get angry, and she looked up and saw that it was a beauty. His eyes lit up, and he quickly changed his anger, with a smile on his face, and asked, "Girl, are you okay? I'm really embarrassed, I'm so abrupt. The food is no longer eaten. Why don't I spend money to buy you another one?" While saying that, he saluted Wang Yuyan.
Wang Yuyan then looked up at the man. This man looked handsome and his clothes were obviously rich.
Wang Yuyan looked at the gentleman's young master in front of her and said, "It's okay, it's not your fault. I left in a hurry and bumped into you. Sorry, please forgive me."
Wang Yuyan thought, she was walking in a hurry and accidentally hit someone. Now that the food is sprinkled, there is no reason to blame others. Seeing that the man didn't reply, Wang Yuyan hurried away.
Looking at the beauty leaving, the man smiled evilly, called his subordinates and arranged for him to follow him.
It turns out that this man is no one else, but the son of the county magistrate of Qingzhou County. His name is Liu Changqing. He looks handsome. But Liu Changqing relies on his father as the county magistrate and does everything evil in this city. Those who have been bullied by him are afraid of the power of the Liu family and dare not speak out, so Liu Changqing is becoming more and more rampant.
At night, when the servants came to report, Liu Changqing learned that the beauty's name was Wang Yuyan, she was a married woman, her husband was Zhang Yong, and she had a small grocery store at home.
Liu Changqing's mind is full of Wang Yuyan's appearance. Unfortunately, this beauty has to think of a way to do it with her husband.
For several days in the next row, Liu Changqing sent his servants to follow Wang Yuyan. It turned out that Wang Yuyan's life was very regular every day. She would go to the store to deliver food to her husband and in-laws every morning.
Liu Changqing went to meet her every day and gradually became familiar with Wang Yuyan, but Wang Yuyan just simply said hello to him, and there was nothing else.
Liu Changqing sat at home, looking at bronze mirror , looking at the handsome face in the mirror, wondering why Wang Yuyan was not moved by such a handsome appearance. So the next day, when he met Wang Yuyan again, he couldn't wait to grab Wang Yuyan's arm in the street and asked, "We are so destined to be together, you don't hate me, why don't you follow me, I will make you delicious and delicious in the future."
Wang Yuyan was shocked and struggled to break free from Liu Changqing's hand, saying, "Young Master Liu, please respect yourself. Thank you for your love. I already have a husband, and you will definitely meet someone suitable for you in the future." After that, he left as if he ran away.
Liu Changqing was very angry. He had never seen any woman before. But after seeing Wang Yuyan that day, he kept thinking about her, thinking that he could not be as tough as before. He thought that Wang Yuyan would be attracted by his handsomeness, but this woman refused him without knowing her. I feel annoyed when I think about it.
So the next day on Wang Yuyan's way to deliver food, Liu Changqing directly asked someone to kidnap Wang Yuyan.The servant brought Wang Yuyan to Liu Changqing. Liu Changqing asked someone to take away the sack on Wang Yuyan's head. Wang Yuyan saw that it was Mr. Liu, and her eyes were full of shock, but her mouth was stuffed with rags and she could not speak.
sent off the person, and Liu Changqing defiled Wang Yuyan like this. After Liu Changqing finished his life, he asked someone to send Wang Yuyan back. Wang Yuyan returned home. It was already evening. The Zhang family had been looking for Wang Yuyan for a long time, but Wang Yuyan came back by herself. Looking at Wang Yuyan's despair, Zhang Yong felt that something must have happened, but after his wife came back, he kept silent. Zhang Yong was in a hurry and had no choice.
After blowing out the candle at night, Zhang Yong lay on the bed to hug his wife. Wang Yuyan sat up suddenly and shouted, "Dirty! Dirty!"
Zhang Yong quickly asked, "Yuyan, what's wrong with you? Tell me if it's okay. I think something is wrong with you when you come back. What happened?"
Wang Yuyan looked at her husband's anxious look, hugged her head and cried, and then told Zhang Yong how she met Liu Changqing and what happened today.
Zhang stood up courageously and wanted to kill Liu Changqing. Wang Yuyan hurriedly grabbed Zhang Yong and said, "Don't go, it's useless. Before I came back, he told me that his father was the county magistrate. If he killed him, you still have to go to jail. I don't want you to go to jail."
Zhang Yong suddenly became angry. What should I do? Did he just swallow his anger like this? Zhang Yong hated him so much, hated that he was incompetent.
Wang Yuyan stepped forward and hugged her husband and said, "Now my body is not clean. If you dislike me, please leave me."
Zhang Yong looked at his wife and said, "What stupid things do you say? How could I dislike you? Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to avenge you."
The next day, Zhang Yong went out alone. He had a kitchen knife in his arms. He vowed to take Liu Changqing's life. When he found out that Liu Changqing was in the fireworks building, he walked straight to the room where Liu Changqing was. There were many bodyguards at the door. Zhang Yong pretended to be drunk and moved into the room next to Liu Changqing.
Zhang Yong patiently waited for the opportunity, and finally the bodyguard went down to have a meal. There was a person guarding the door. The man seemed to be very sleepy and fell asleep at the door in a short while.
Zhang Yong tiptoed open the door and walked into Liu Changqing's house.
Liu Changqing is happily living, there are three beautiful girls on the bed who are not covered in clothes. Zhang Yong took out the kitchen knife in his arms and slashed directly at Liu Changqing. Liu Changqing felt something was wrong. He opened his eyes and saw someone slashing at him with a kitchen knife. He was shocked and shouted that someone was coming from his mouth, then kicked Zhang Yong to the ground with one kick. Zhang Yong got up from the ground and picked up the kitchen knife again. At this moment, seven or eight bodyguards outside the house suddenly came, and seven or eight people took action at the same time, and soon they subdued Zhang Yong.
Liu Changqing asked angrily: "Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?"
Zhang Yong said: "My name is Zhang Yong, why you kill you, you should know why you are."
Liu Changqing felt strange. He didn't know a man named Zhang Yong. A servant heard Zhang Yong's name and attached it to Liu Changqing's ear and said a few words. This servant was the person Liu Changqing arranged to follow Wang Yuyan. He naturally knew that Zhang Yong was Wang Yuyan's husband.
Liu Changqing only realized after listening to it that this was Wang Yuyan’s husband, and he thought in his heart that it was just that. So he said to Zhang Yong, "Oh, who do I think I am? It turns out that you are Yu Yan's husband. It's really a bargain to marry her. I was thinking about finding you, but you came to your door. If you don't have you, she will be mine."
Zhang Yong spat at Liu Changqing and said, "You think beautifully. As long as I have a breath, don't want to bully her again."
Liu Changqing was furious and ordered his subordinates: "Blow me hard!"
bodyguards heard Liu Changqing's words, one of them was heavier than the other. After a while, Zhang Yong was beaten to death.
Liu Changqing ordered his subordinates to carry him out of the fireworks building and throw him on the street. I continued to go happily.
The Zhang family could not find Zhang Yong. It was not until the evening that they heard that Zhang Yong was beaten. The Zhang family rushed to the place and saw Zhang Yong lying dying on the ground. Then they carried Zhang Yong home. Before they could find out who beat him, Zhang Yong died.
Zhang’s father and mother were crying. The family was honest and honest. I really didn’t know who they had offended, so they beat their eldest son to death.
Wang Yuyan found out after inquiring from many sources that Zhang Yong was beaten to death by Liu Changqing, but Liu Changqing's father was the county magistrate. It would be useless to sue the county government. He was extremely angry with Liu Changqing.
Zhang’s father and mother had no choice but to bury their eldest son.
After Zhang Yong's death, Wang Yuyan became a widow. She knew that Zhang Yong was beaten to death in order to avenge her, so she thought to be filial to Zhang Yong's parents, so she stayed in the Zhang family.
Later, Liu Changqing often came to harass Wang Yuyan. Wang Yuyan was very distressed and could only try her best to avoid him.
Zhang Liang knew that his brother was beaten to death by the county magistrate's son, so he determined to get fame and avenge his brother.
This year, , the time has come. Zhang Liang said goodbye to his parents and went to take the imperial examination. After three days of intense examinations, Zhang Liangrong ranked first.
When he entered the court to meet the saint, Zhang Liang begged the saint to make the decision and avenge his brother. The emperor asked Zhang Liang to tell the whole story, and Zhang Liang carefully talked about how Liu Changqing relied on his father's position as a county magistrate. He did everything in Qingzhou City, and the people below were suffering. How did Liu Changqing rob the civilian women and how did Zhang Yong to death?
After hearing this, the emperor was furious and appointed Zhang Liang as the county magistrate of Qingzhou County in court and ordered him to thoroughly investigate the murder case.
Zhang Liang returned to Qingzhou City with the imperial edict, and immediately sent people to remove Liu County Magistrate black hat and sent Liu family father and son to prison.
Qingzhou City has changed. Everyone knows that County Magistrate Liu has been removed from his post, so countless people have gone to the yamen to report the case. At this time, Zhang Liang realized that there were as many as eighteen bloody cases at the hands of Liu Changqing and his son.
Now that the evidence is conclusive, the Liu family father and son were sentenced to death penalty .
people all praise County Magistrate Zhang as a good official. Because the Liu family's crimes were heard in court, and her sister-in-law Wang Yuyan also came to the yamen to be a witness, so the defilement of her by Liu Changqing was made public.
Although people know that she is the victim, many people still point fingers at her behind their backs. Some say that she is a disaster. If it weren't for her, Zhang Yong would not have died. Some say she is unfaithful. There are all things you say.
Zhang Liang was very angry after hearing other people's comments. His sister-in-law is a good woman and should not be slandered, but he doesn't know how to help his sister-in-law.
When they returned home, they saw that their parents were older and if their brother was still there, they would all hold their grandson. Seeing that his parents had avenged their great revenge, they urged Zhang Liang to find a wife.
Zhang Liang thought in his heart that if he wanted to find a woman like her sister-in-law, he had to find a gentle, virtuous, sensible and filial woman. He remembered the slander that Wang Yuyan was, and the difficulty of Wang Yuyan, and made a decision in his heart.
Zhang Liang wanted to marry his sister-in-law Wang Yuyan, and he told his thoughts to his mother. His mother initially opposed it. After Zhang Liang persuaded him with emotion and reason, his mother finally agreed because Wang Yuyan was indeed a good woman.
Under the arrangement of her parents, Zhang Liang and Wang Yuyan got married. Wang Yuyan is now the county magistrate's wife, and no one dares to gossip behind her back. Wang Yuyan is very grateful to Zhang Liang. Not only did Zhang Liang not dislike her, she also married her as a wife. She will repay this kindness for the rest of her life.
The next year, they had their first child, a boy. When Zhang’s father and mother saw their grandson, they couldn’t stop smiling.
