Once upon a time, there was a temple in the east of Zhanglou Village, and there lived a sister-in-law who often hung out with Zhang Heng, a martial arts scholar from Zhanglou.
Zhang Heng has long had evil intentions towards the wife of Zhang Wensheng, the teacher at the village, but he has not succeeded yet. One day, Zhang Heng said to his sister-in-law, "Zhang Wensheng's daughter-in-law is so handsome. I think she is going crazy. If you can find a way to trick her into coming to the temple, I will give you thirty taels of silver." When the sister-in-law heard about the money, she was happy and said, "This is easy to handle. You can keep your word." A few days later, Vincent's daughter-in-law happened to be passing by the temple, and she was tricked into entering by her sister-in-law. When Vincent's wife saw that the villain Zhang Heng was also in the temple, she turned around and left. Zhang Heng stepped forward and stopped her and said, "It's easy to get in, but it's hard to get out!" He went up and hugged her, and pushed her to the bed. Wen Sheng's wife couldn't get away, so she obeyed. Afterwards, Zhang Heng gave her some silver.
From then on, as long as Wensheng was not at home, Zhang Heng would go to her to spend the night. One time, Zhang Heng accidentally spat on the wall. As time went by, it ended up on the wall. One morning, Vincent was lying on the bed to rest. He saw phlegm on the wall and became a little suspicious. I thought to myself: I have never spit on the wall before, and my wife can’t spit it so high, so I asked her what was wrong with her. His wife said: "I vomited it." Vincent didn't believe it: "You vomited it? If you can vomit it there while you are sleeping on the bed, it will make me suspicious, and I will apologize to you; if you can't vomit it there, you have to tell me who vomited it. If you don't tell me, I will beat you up." His wife slept on the bed, but she couldn't vomit on the wall, and she was so anxious that she was sweating.
Vincent picked up the stick and was about to hit him. "If you don't tell the truth, I will beat you to death. If you tell the truth, we are still a good couple." His wife knew that it was impossible not to tell the truth, so she had to tell the story of her adultery with Zhang Heng in detail. After saying that, he knelt on the ground and begged him for forgiveness. Never again. Vincent thought that it was useless to beat her to death now that things were like this, so he said, "Zhang Heng will come back tomorrow. Bite off his tongue and give it to me. If you don't bite it, you are not devoted to me. I have to beat you to death!" The daughter-in-law was frightened, and she secretly hated Zhang Heng for harming her, so she had to agree.
The next day, Zhang Heng heard that Wen Sheng was out, and he came again. Vincent's wife remained the same as before, sharing the same bed with him affectionately. When the two were kissing, Zhang Heng unconsciously stuck his tongue into Vincent's wife's mouth. When Vincent's wife saw that the time had come, she was heartbroken and bit his tongue off with her upper and lower teeth. Zhang Heng screamed in pain. Vincent heard the cry and came out of the darkness. When Zhang Heng saw Wen Sheng at home, he knew he had been fooled. Pick up your pants and run. Vincent didn't chase him away. He asked his wife to cut off half of his tongue, then ran to the temple with a knife. My sister-in-law is sleeping. Vincent killed her with one knife and stuffed his tongue into her mouth. Then he secretly went home without meeting anyone on the road.
After dawn, someone entered the temple and saw that his sister-in-law had been killed. As soon as he shouted, many people in the village went there. One said: "What's going on?" The other said: "Who did it?" Several elderly people advocated reporting it to the official quickly to avoid being implicated. Soon after, the county magistrate came to do an autopsy in person and found half a tongue in his mouth, so he decided it was a rape and murder case. He immediately summoned the whole village to see who had no tongue. When everyone arrived, they were called one by one, and there was no one without a tongue. Some people said that Zhang Heng was not here, so the county magistrate immediately sent people to find Zhang Heng. He was arrested when he got home. The county magistrate asked: " Did you kill my sister-in-law?" He just shook his head and said nothing. When he saw that his mouth was bloody, half of his tongue belonged to him. The county magistrate thought: "This is obviously Zhang Heng who raped my sister-in-law, and she bit off her tongue. Zhang Heng killed my sister-in-law out of hatred. The case was settled in this way, and Zhang Heng was sentenced to death.
The matter has passed, but Zhang Wensheng still feels uncomfortable. He thought that his wife knew that he had killed his sister-in-law. It would be troublesome if she told her after a long time. Besides, my daughter-in-law has lost her virginity and I can no longer live with her. So I secretly hatched a plan in my mind. That day he bought back two large live carp and put them into the big water tank. He said to his wife: "Go and fetch your mother. She can't eat much all year round. I bought two fish and asked her to come and eat together." When his wife heard this, her husband did not change his mind as before, so she proudly fetched her mother.Vincent said to his daughter-in-law in front of his mother-in-law: "I'll go out to buy some other vegetables. You take out the fish from the tank and clean them up." After that, he pretended to go out, and then slipped back and hid in the darkness of the kitchen when no one was paying attention. When his wife went into the kitchen to fish for fish in the tank, Vincent suddenly jumped out and lifted up his wife's legs. Before she could even grunt, she fell headlong into the big water tank. He tiptoed out the door again. His mother-in-law had been in the house for a long time without seeing her daughter come out, so she wanted to help her. When I went to the kitchen, I saw my daughter with her head upside down in the water tank. He shouted in a panic: "Help!" Several neighbors ran over and took it out. They found that it was already out of breath. At this time, Vincent came back with vegetables. When he saw that his wife was dead, he burst into tears. The neighbors could not persuade him. I cried for half an hour before I stopped crying and took care of the funeral. He buried his wife hastily.
