In ancient times, there was a widow named Luo Jinmei in the north of Jiangzhou City. She was in her twenties and was young and beautiful. She was a famous beauty in the town.
A few years ago, Luo Jinmei followed her mother Zhang to the town to sell vegetables and met the elegant scholar Li Wen.
That time, the two fell in love at first sight.
Although Li Wen is quite talented and his family is poor; he is said to be very good to Luo family, but Zhang family does not want his daughter to marry Li Wen. Because at that time, several rich young masters came to ask for marriage.
Chapter 1 Zhang has worked hard to pull his daughter up, and I don’t know how much sweat it has been. Now that her daughter has grown up, she certainly hopes that her daughter will marry into a wealthy family and she can benefit from it in the future.
did not expect that Zhang would be bewitched by Li Xiucai and would not marry Li Wen.
Seeing that his mother disagreed, Luo Jinmei and Li Wen elope.
Seeing that his daughter who had worked hard to raise, he followed a poor scholar, Zhang was very sad and soon became tired.
It was not until a year later, when Zhang was critically ill that Luo came back to fulfill his filial piety.
Later, after Zhang passed away, Luo immediately moved to the Li family, and the couple lived an ordinary life from then on.
may be retribution, and in less than three years, Li Wen died of sudden illness.
Poor Luo, at a young age, became a widow.
Although someone proposed marriage at that time, Luo's family adhered to their wife's morals and had always been loyal to their husbands. They lived alone in the old house of the Li family, and usually rely on a few acres of land to make a living.
: Luo’s hardworking and virtuous character, but she has a strange problem, which is that she loves sleepwalking at night.
Every late at night, Widow Luo would get up and go to the yard to chop firewood, and clean the house.
It’s a coincidence that the next morning, after Widow Luo woke up, she looked at Zhang Fugui in the neighboring village several times and passed by the doorstep with a sickle. So she thought that it must be Zhang Fugui who saw her pitiful and secretly helped him chop firewood.
For a moment, Widow Luo had a good impression of Zhang Fugui.
But Zhang Fugui had an indifferent attitude, which made Widow Luo very uncomfortable, so she directly stopped Zhang Fugui and said with a smile: "Brother Fugui, you have been helping me chop firewood, right?"
Zhang Fugui has always admired Widow Luo, but he thought Luo was young and beautiful, but he had nothing, so he thought he was not worthy of Luo, so he did not dare to confess his love.
Now Luo believes that he has done a good thing, and Zhang Fugui immediately admitted it.
Widow Luo was very happy and bought some good wine and dishes to treat Zhang Fugui.
After a while, the two of them got along well.
One night, neighbor Pan Chao returned from drinking.
When he passed by the village head, he accidentally saw a young monk walking into Widow Luo's house calmly.
Thinking of Widow Luo, who has always regarded herself as a chaste and fierce woman, did not expect that she would be so unfaithful and had an affair with the monk.
Suddenly, Pan Chao thought of his friend Zhang Fugui.
A few days ago, the two had drunk together.
At that time, Zhang Fugui told Pan Chao that he liked Widow Luo very much, and Widow Luo had a good impression of him.
Zhang Fugui said that it won’t be long before he will surely capture Luo’s heart and embrace the beauty.
said that Pan Chao and Zhang Fugui were friends of life and death. Now that he discovered that Luo had an affair, he must not let his friends suffer great humiliation, so he hurried to the neighboring village and informed Zhang Fugui of the matter.
Zhang Fugui was furious after hearing this and rushed straight to Widow Luo with a kitchen knife.
When the two arrived at Luo's house, they found that the gate of the courtyard was closed.
At this moment, Zhang Fugui got angry and had to break in.
It’s a coincidence that the young monk came over with a sickle.
In the night, Zhang Fugui thought the monk was going to fight him desperately, so he raised his knife and slashed him.
How could the monk not dodge.
Just like that, Zhang Fugui stabbed the monk in the chest.
Monk fell to the ground and died.
Realizing that he had caused trouble, Zhang Fugui was so scared that he threw away his kitchen knife and ran away.
Pan Chao was worried that he would implicate him, so he immediately went to the yamen to report the case and informed Chen Zhixian in the future.
County Magistrate Chen was furious and ordered the yamen runners to arrest Zhang Fugui and arrest Widow Luo in prison.
A few days later, Zhang Fugui was arrested and brought to justice.
But in the court, the abbot told everyone a shocking secret.
It turned out that the monk also loved sleepwalking. Before, he often went to Widow Luo's house to help her dive and chop wood.
At the same time, Widow Luo insisted that she was honest and had no selfless love with the monk.
Later, after investigation, the government confirmed that what the two said was not false.
At this time, everyone found out the truth.
It turns out that both Widow Luo and the monk both have the problem of sleepwalking . Originally, the monk helped Widow Luo chop wood after sleepwalking. Widow Luo thought that Zhang Fugui had been helping him chop wood; Zhang Fugui took this opportunity to please Widow Luo and captured Luo's heart bit by bit. In the end, he lost his life by picking up a bargain and losing his life
But when the monk was sleepwalking again, he happened to be caught by Pan Chao. Pan Chao mistakenly believed that Luo and the monk had an affair, which led to the innocent Zhang Fugui's murder.
