Once upon a time, there was a scholar named Shang Shiyu in Zhuge City. Once, he said a few jokes after getting drunk, which angered a gentry in the city. The gentry instructed his slaves to beat him up, and he was taken home and died.

Shang Shiyu has two sons, the eldest son is Shangchen and the second son is Shangli. There is also a daughter named Shang Sanguan, who was only sixteen years old. She had already made a date for marriage, but because her father died suddenly, the marriage was delayed. The two brothers of the Sanguan went out to sue, but the case still couldn't be settled after a year.

The husband's family of the three officials sent someone to discuss with the three officials' mother. It is recommended to make adjustments based on the current situation. It is best to handle the marriage of the three officials first. The mother of the three officials is ready to agree to the in-law's proposal. But the Sanguan stepped forward and said to his mother, "How can there be no reason in the world that the father's body is not cold and his daughter holds a wedding? Does he have no father and mother?" The people from the Sanguan's husband's family were ashamed of what the Sanguan said, and gave up their original plans.

Soon after, the two brothers of the three officials lost the lawsuit and returned home with grievance. The whole family was very sad and angry. The brothers of the three officials advocated leaving their father's body without burial in order to leave evidence to the government for another complaint. The three officials said: "If a person is killed, he will not care about it. This world can be imagined. Will God give birth to a man named Bao of Yan for your brother? His father's remains have been exposed, so how can we bear it!"

The two brothers thought what she said made sense, so they buried their father. Shortly after the funeral, the three officials ran away from home one night, and no one knew where she had gone. The mother of the three officials was uneasy and ashamed, fearing that the husband's family of the three officials knew about this, so she did not dare to tell the clan and relatives and friends, but just asked her two sons to secretly investigate the whereabouts of the three officials.

Almost half a year later, and the three officials still disappeared. One day, it was the birthday of the gentry who killed the three officials' father. In order to celebrate the birthday, the gentry invited many opera singers to come and cheer them up. The actor Sun Chun also came with his two disciples. One of his disciples was named Wang Cheng. Although he looked ordinary, he was just a straightforward word when singing operas, which won applause from the audience. Another disciple was Li Yu, who looked very outstanding, like a beautiful woman. The guests asked him to sing the opera. He refused to sing the opera. When he forced him to sing, his songs were mixed with many popular songs from children, which caused the guests present to applaud and laugh.

Master Sun Chun was very ashamed. He explained in front of the master: "My disciple has not been studying opera for a long time, and has only learned some toasting etiquette. Please don't blame him." So the gentry ordered Li Yu to toast the guests. Li Yu shuttled and held glasses among the guests and persuaded him to drink. He was very good at looking at the owner's eyes, and the gentry liked him very much. After the meal ended and the people left, the gentry left Li Yu to sleep with him. Li Yu diligently swept the bed, lay the quilt, took off his shoes, and served the gentry with great thoughtfulness. The gentry was drunk and swearing at him, but Li Yu just smiled and was not annoyed. The gentry liked Li Yu more and more, and was completely fascinated by him, so he sent all the servants away, leaving only Li Yu to accompany him. When Li Yu saw that all the servants had left, he closed the door and locked the door with the door bolt. After the servants left the master, they went to another room to drink and chat.

After a while, the "Princess" sound came from the owner's room. A servant hurried over to check the truth, but saw that the master's room was pitch black and there was no sound at all. The servant was about to turn around and walk back when a loud noise suddenly came, just like a rope hanging heavy objects suddenly broke. The servant hurriedly asked loudly, but no one answered. The servant hurriedly greeted everyone, and the servants smashed the door open and rushed in. They saw that the master had already had a different body and head. Li Yu hanged himself on his back. The rope broke and fell to the ground. There was a broken rope around Li Yu's neck.

Everyone was shocked and quickly reported the situation to the inner house. The master and servant of the family gathered at the place where the accident happened, and no one could figure out what was going on.When people lifted Li Yu's body into the yard, they felt that the shoes and socks were empty and shrunk, as if they had no feet. They took off Li Yu's shoes and socks and saw that they were a pair of three-inch golden lotus wearing white filial shoes. Li Yu was actually a woman! Everyone was even more shocked. They quickly called Li Yu's master Sun Chun to interrogate him.

Sun Chun was completely frightened by what happened in front of him. He didn't know how to answer this series of questions, but said, "Li Yu joined my disciple a month ago as a disciple and was willing to follow me to celebrate her master's birthday. I really don't know where she came from." Because she was wearing filial piety clothes, people suspected that she was an assassin sent by Shang Shiyu's family, and the Haoshen family temporarily sent two servants to guard her body.

The two of them saw Li Yu's face as angry as a living person. They touched her body, which was warm and soft. The two of them secretly planned the traitor. One of them first hugged the body and turned her over. Just as he was about to untie her clothes, he suddenly felt like something was hit on his head, and he spurted blood from his mouth in a big mouth, and he was swallowing in a blink of an eye. The other person was frightened when he saw this and quickly told everyone that in this way, people could not help but respect Li Yu as a god.

The next day, the gentry's family reported the case to the yamen. The local officials called Shang Chen and Shang Li to interrogate him carefully. Both brothers said, "I don't know this. It's just that my sister Shang Sanguan has been running away from home for half a year." The local officials asked Shang Chen and Shang Li to examine Li Yu's body, but Li Yu was indeed the third official. The local officials were very surprised and sympathetic about the righteous acts of the three officials, so they gave a lenient sentence, ordered the merchant brothers to take back the bodies of the three officials to be buried properly, and ordered the people of the gentry's family to settle the matter and not to seek revenge with the merchant.
