During the Jin Dynasty, there was a blacksmith named Cai Guanghuan in Suzhou. In addition to selling iron utensils, he also relied on his family to lend money to usury. It rained heavily that day, and a man who was soaked in a rooster came to his house to stay.
Cai Guanghuan welcomed him into the house without saying a word, and also moved out a clean house for him to stay for a night, but this required a man's silver to be charged as a reward.
The man is Chang Weiyang, a wealthy businessman from another place. He lost all his money in business. He looked through his pocket and found only a few copper coins in , which could not make up a tael of silver.
At this time, Cai Guanghuan reminded Chang Weiyang, reminding him that he could pay on credit here, but he had to make a document to ensure that he could return it truthfully in the future.
Changwei Central Bank has been going for several days and has never even had a full meal. He urgently needed a good rest in order to restore his usual energy. He wrote down an IOU and handed it to Cai Guanghuan, and went to the room to fall asleep.
1 The next morning, Chang Weiyang left with his luggage, and before leaving, he borrowed twenty taels of silver from Cai Guanghuan for money. The villagers near
all know that Cai Guanghuan is a rooster who is stingy. He is not only stingy, but also harsh to those who lend his own money. Chang Weiyang borrowed him twenty taels of silver, and the return of the day will definitely be several times the twenty taels of silver.
Cai Guanghuan was overjoyed every day when he looked at the letter. According to the current snowball speed, wouldn’t he have a great harvest in the future? He waited for two years, but Chang Weiyang, who had not been waiting for the money to pay it back for a long time. He thought that Chang Weiyang was hiding debts and wanted to pay back the debt. So based on the address on the letter, he traveled thousands of miles to find Chang Weiyang’s home. In front of him was a magnificent mansion.
The Chang family has been doing business for generations. Chang Weiyang lost money that time, but Chang's father gave his son a chance to train. At that time, Chang Weiyang was about to leave the house, but a short and fat man stopped him and asked him for money.
Not seen in two years, Chang Weiyang did not recognize Cai Guanghuan for a while. He thought he was a robber who blocked the road, so he asked his servants to knock him aside, got on the carriage, and left.
Cai Guanghuan almost doubted his life. He felt that he was too poor and that Chang Weiyang looked down on him, and he disdained to pay back the twenty-one taels of silver - no, it was 224 taels, and the interest rate was 204 taels over the years.
Because Chang Weiyang did not pay back his money, Cai Guanghuan couldn't help but get angry. At this moment, he learned from a nearby villager that burying a dog's head in someone else's house can change the fortune of the family. At the least, it will be lost in money, and at the worst, it will be destroyed in family.
For this reason, Cai Guanghuan did not hesitate to slaughter a stray dog on the street. At the midnight of the night, he climbed over the wall and sneaked into the Chang's house and buried the dog's head under the old locust tree.
Afterwards, Cai Guanghuan traveled a hundred miles back home, waiting for news of the bankruptcy of the Chang family from afar. He waited for two years like this, but not only did not wait for the Chang family to change, but he became poor and impoverished.
Wife Chen couldn't stand such a poor life. She went to her parents' home for a few days. On the way back, she met an Taoist priest . The Taoist priest blocked her way and asked her if something strange happened at home. Chen told the Taoist priest the truth, and then learned that the bloody disaster at home recently originated from the dog head buried by Cai Guanghuan.
Chang Weiyang's house leaked and needed to be renovated. By the way, the old locust tree was dug out, and the dog head was found, and he threw it into a mass grave.
In this way, Cai Guanghuan's magic was destroyed and severely backlashed, causing him to destroy his family and his family to die.
After Chen arrived at home, he placed forty-two taels of silver in front of Cai Guanghuan. This was returned by Chang Weiyang.
In fact, Chang Weiyang had paid off his loan to Cai Guanghuan four years ago, but Cai Guanghuan was not at home at that time, and Chen accepted it on behalf of her husband. Chen was kind-hearted and the couple did not lack money to spend. She didn't want her husband to do usury. After all, Cai Guanghuan set high interest rates every time. Once it was lent to ordinary people, they could easily become Cai Guanghuan's cash withdrawal device for the rest of her life.
Chen can't do such unethical things, but now, there is no need for her to hide anything from her husband. In order to avoid the bloody disaster, she had to temporarily propose divorce to Cai Guanghuan.
However, Cai Guanghuan did not agree. He could not bear all the guilt by himself. He wanted to take Chen to hell together. Three days later, Cai Guanghuan suddenly suffered from a strange disease, and his whole body was tingling. Blood was leaking out of the seven orifices . It didn't work if he hired all the doctors in the town.
Finally, Cai Guanghuan died on a snowy night, and Chen lay on her husband's body and cried bitterly. He finished his funeral in a heartbreaking manner. He mourned for three years and remarried to the carpenter in the village.
