During the 20th Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, there were two minor officials in Shaanxi who managed the official warehouse. One of them was Gong Changzhang and the other was Li Zaozhang. Coincidentally, they were not only the same Geng, both of them were twenty-five years old, but also their names were exactly the same, and they were both called Changxing.
For this, I often make jokes, so I find Zhang Shizhang to come out and look for Zhang Shizhang to meet him. Once, a friend from other places asked someone to bring two boxes of refined snacks to Zhang Changxing from , Huguang . Due to the different pronunciations, a misunderstanding occurred, which made the other Zhang Changxing enjoy it all. Later, for the sake of a good difference, I asked Zhang to find "Li Zao" and Zhang to find "Bow Chief", and the misunderstanding gradually decreased.
Although these two Changxing are of the same age and have the same name, their character and character are completely different. Gong Changzhang is greedy by nature and has a bad mind. He often engages in bad activities such as fraud and self-stealing. Sometimes he even calls for catching thieves and frames good people. But this guy pretends to be like a gentleman on the surface, behaves politely, speaks kindly, respects the superiors and kindly to the subordinates. This trick is really effective, and many people have not seen through his true face.
is very different. He is straightforward and open-minded. He is very clear about the accounts he manages and never privately writes a single piece of the treasury. Besides, he is a generous and chivalrous man. When people are in danger, they will help them all. When they see injustice, they must stand up. I usually hate those who behave the superiors and bully the subordinates and act in an unrighteous manner. Therefore, neighbors and neighbors in the warehouse all think that it is a kind and respectable to establish an early seal.
This early seal was established. Because his parents passed away early, no one took care of getting married for him. In addition, he liked to make friends. He was busy with Kuzhonggong during the day, so he recited poems and drank wine with his friends at night. He never took the marriage to heart, so he delayed until he was twenty-five years old and was still a bachelor. However, a few close friends were anxious for him, so they begged relatives and friends everywhere to help him bring a marriage. Everyone forced him to agree. Li Zaozhang couldn't resist the kindness of his friends, and felt that he was indeed old and accepted it happily.
Because of his good popularity, on the day of the wedding, there were so many guests coming to congratulate him that they almost broke the door. After worshiping the flower hall, Li Zaozhang began to drink with guests until the third update of the drum and the moon was scattered in the west. He made Li Zaozhang so tired that his bones and frames were scattered. He sat on the chair and could never get up again. After about one stick of incense, he suddenly remembered the couplet of the two great joys of life, "When the wedding night, the title of the golden list", and felt that heart was uncertain, and his mind was hard to tie. He seemed to have forgotten that he was dizzy, back pain, and his legs were sore. He was drunk and stood up and walked towards the wedding chamber.
The bride sat in the bridal chamber. Although she had been waiting for a long time, because the groom did not come, how dare she walk around randomly? She had to sit patiently and wait by the bed. After Li Zaozhang walked into the bridal chamber with an impulse, he saw the red hijab on the bride's head at first sight, and the second sight saw the bride's white and tender hands placed flat on her legs.
He thought, his hands were so white, tender and cute, and his face under the veil must be even thin and thin, and it can be broken. When he thought that he was about to embrace the soft jade fragrance tonight, he immediately felt like he fell into a honey river, from his internal organs to his hairy eyes, he couldn't help but walk forward and stretched out his hand to remove the veil on the bride's head.
This bride was originally cute and delicate, and very pretty. Hearing the footsteps, he knew that it was the groom entering the room, and a blush appeared on his face. At this time, the veil on his head was suddenly removed, making his pink face redder even more nervous. Li Zaozhang looked closely and saw that the bride's face was even more beautiful than the peach blossoms after the rain. He was surprised out of sight. When he was about to do some intimate moves with the bride, he suddenly felt something heavy was hit on his back. He felt a sharp pain in his heart, and he staggered back a few steps, opened his mouth, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on the bride.
Women's family are already timid, and the sudden blood and redness happens in the candlelight in the middle of the night, which makes them even more gloomy and terrifying. The bride screamed with a galloping sound, and then fell to the ground with a "gulp" sound, and was immediately frightened and died.
Li Zaozhang stretched his hand to the bride a few times, struggled a few times, and fell to the ground and died next to the bride.
What's going on? It turned out that it was the white-faced judge who was in charge of life and death in the underworld, and sent two soul-catching ghosts to seduce Li Zaozhang's Yanghun away.
Li Zaozhang didn't know who the two soul-grabbing ghosts were, nor did they know why the two had to lock their necks with iron chains, but they couldn't help but follow them forward. After walking an unfamiliar road, he entered a city he didn't know. There were many pedestrians coming and going on the street, and there were everywhere for buying and selling, and he didn't even take a closer look. Not far away, I came to the front of a hall that was more majestic than the City God Temple. I saw a large plaque with golden characters hanging high above the hall gate, with four eye-catching characters "Yan Luo Temple".
Li Zaozhang couldn't help but gasp, and then he realized that he was caught by a little ghost and was in the underworld. But after all, he was upright and brave. He knew that he had never done anything that was harmful to the world, so he was not very afraid. Just as he was thinking about it, the little ghost pulled him into the hall and brought him to the white-faced judge's table. A little ghost said, "Report to the judge, you're hooking me."
Hearing the judge "um" and the two little ghosts retreated aside.
While the judge was looking through a book of documents, Li Zaozhang looked up and saw that the judge was about fifty years old, with a fair face, kind eyebrows, and a kind elder. He was about to ask why he locked me to the underworld, but the judge asked him first.
"What's your name?"
"Zhang Changxing."
"You are young, why don't you be kind, but do evil in the world?"
"You are slandering and talking nonsense!" Li Zaozhang was angry.
"What?" The judge was so angry that his face turned blue. "How dare you speak rudely and insult the underworld?"
"Because you wronged the good person!"
"Unforgivating the good person? Unless you are not Zhang Changxing!"
"Who said I am not Zhang Changxing? I have crawled out of my mother's belly until now, and I have always called Zhang, Chang, Xing! "
" It's easy to do since it's Zhang Changxing. Don't think that my underworld doesn't know the evil you did in the sun. "The judge patted the document book in his hand, "All things are here for you to remember clearly. It's really unforgivable to deny it now!"
He called the two little ghosts to the front and said angrily: "Put this evil spirit who refuses to confess his sins into the eighteenth floor of Abi hell, so that he will never be reincarnated as a human being!"
The two little ghosts roared, rushed forward, and immediately twisted Li Zaozhang's arms, and pushed them out without saying a word.
Li Zaozhang heard that he was going to be sent to the eighteenth level of hell, so scared that he suddenly had a cold war. Suddenly remembered the things he had made mistakes with Gong Chang, and he quickly shouted: "Slow up!" Then he told the judge that he and Gong Chang had the same name as Gong Chang, and that Gong Chang did injustice. It is suspected that the underworld mistakenly regards Li Zaozhang as Gong Changzhang and requests to re-check it carefully to avoid the evil people being spared, but the good people are wronged and wronged.
After hearing this, the judge was stunned at first. He didn't believe that there was no such coincidence, but he couldn't stand the repeated begging of the old Zhang, so he looked down at Life and Death Book . Unexpectedly, the result of the investigation was that he had mistakenly made the bow chief and hooked the soul wrongly. The white-faced judge couldn't sit still. He knew the terrible consequences of accidentally seducing people's souls. He was so shocked that the sweat of soybeans appeared on his forehead. In a blink of an eye, he saw the second little ghost holding Li Zaozhang tightly, so he hurriedly shouted and let go. It was also called to bring a chair for Mr. Zhang, and it was also called to bring incense tea for Mr. Zhang. He hurriedly bowed to Mr. Li Zao Zhang and admitted his mistake.
Li Zaozhang was both sad and angry at this time. What’s sad is that not only was my soul hooked up wrongly, but the good bride was also implicated. What was angry was that the most fair underworld actually had something to do with human souls, and he almost threw him into the eighteenth level of hell, and he would never be able to be a human being.
Just as I was about to get angry, the two little ghosts brought the bench and fragrant tea respectively. The anger that was held in Li Zaozhang's heart suddenly burst out. He raised his foot and kicked the stool away, raised his hand and broke the tea cup, pointed at the white-faced judge and shouted, "You ghost judge have caused me a lot of pain!" Before the sequel was finished, he knocked off the hat on the judge's head with one palm, grabbed the judge's shoulders and pushed and shoved, and kept shouting, "Give me my life back! Give me my life back!"
niu head , horse face, yasha , little ghost in the palace of Yan Luo saw that the judge suffered, they didn't care who was wrong and who was right, so they rushed forward, with great opposition to Zaozhang leaning against the crowd. The White-Faced Judge was afraid that the matter would be a big deal, and it would be even more difficult for the King of Hell to explain it when he came back, so he shouted loudly, turned around and bowed to Li Zaozhang again and again, promising to send his soldiers to return to the sun immediately.
Unexpectedly, Li Zaozhang proposed another condition: not only should he be sent back to the sun immediately, but the judge also had to pay his bride's life at the same time. This made the White-Faced Judge stump. He picked up the book of life and death, turned to the name of the bride, and said to the opposite Zao Zhang, "Grandpa Zhang, look at what is written on it. Your bride is destined to die prematurely in this life because of too many sins in his previous life. Resurrecting her is a major matter that violates the laws of heaven. Not to mention that I, a small official, dare not take responsibility, even the Emperor of Yama will not be able to bear it. Please don't violate the destiny of heaven, and be forgiven for a lot."
Li Zao Zhang made a heart at this time and didn't listen to anything the judge said. He only emphasized: The bride was scared to death because you mistakenly hooked my soul. If you don't pay my life to your bride, I will wait for your King of Hell to come back to make peace. If you protect your King of Hell, I will go to the Emperor of Hell to take care of your King of Hell. If the Emperor of Hell can't take care of you, I will go to the Emperor of the Jade Emperor to sue the heaven. Anyway, if I don’t pay my wife and wife, I will never give up with you!
The white-faced judge saw that Li Zaozhang was a difficult person who could not afford to offend and dared to fight to the death. He was so frightened that he was at a loss, ashamed and regretful. Tears flowed down the bridge of his nose and his snot fell on his beard. Li Zaozhang was still shouting and scolding from the side, insisting on paying his wife and wife. Just when the White-Faced Judge was in a panic and unable to step down, another Black-Faced Judge walked up to the White-Faced Judge and muttered for a while. The White-Faced Judge first frowned, shook his head slightly, and then showed a helpless look, and gently pointed his head two points.
The black-faced judge then talked to Li Zaozhang in a humble tone and talked about his solution: the bride is destined to die, but it is indeed not reborn. The White-Faced Judge has a beloved daughter, who is only 29 years old, she is smart and beautiful, virtuous and gentle. She is both proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is also proficient in poetry, lyrics, songs and essays. She has now been included in the book of reincarnation and will be reborn in the world soon. Now that I have mistakenly hooked up the soul of yourselves, I just made you lose your wife, so I would like to give you a dowry and let his daughter reincarnate as a bride, marry you, and live with you for a hundred years. Xijun should make this plan so that he can settle the wrong case privately.
Founded the early chapter to see that the life and death book is destined to be dead early, and it would be useless to force it. Seeing that the judge of white-faced was pious and spoke pertinently, he felt a little moved. The judge of white-faced took the opportunity to come forward and ask for good words. Li Zaozhang sighed and said nothing. Finally, the decision was made: I sent the soul of Li Zaozhang to return to the sun first, and the daughter of the White-faced judge made some preparations and then immediately sent it.
Li Zaozhang only has one child who serves him at home. During the day, the owner is busy with weddings. He is so tired that the child falls asleep as soon as he gets the pillow at night. He doesn't know anything that happened in the new house that night. After Li Zaozhanghun returned to the bridal chamber, he climbed up from the ground with a wheel. Seeing the bride lying straight on the ground, a feeling of love arises sadly. He hurriedly carried it to the bed, covered it with a new silk quilt, and then sat at the table and thought about what had just passed by in the underworld.
Just after drinking a cup of tea, the bride suddenly turned over and sat up. Strangely, it was still the same, but she was wearing another set of silk clothes, and her head was filled with dazzling precious pearls and jade. She held a lacquer and gold embroidered box in her hand. When she opened it, she saw that it was all yellow and white.
Li Zaozhang asked softly, "Who is my wife? Where did you come from?"
The bride blushed and replied shyly: "I am the daughter of the white-faced judge, who comes from the Underworld Palace."
Li Zaozhang nodded without saying anything, turned around and blew out the red candle in the bridal chamber...
The next day, I heard that Zhang Changxing in the same database had some acute illness and died at home last night. Li Zaozhang understood in his heart, but he was kind and thought that he had worked in the same yamen, so he did not tell the secrets he knew. If he hadn't spoken out after drinking with his friends, this story would have probably not been leaked to the world and has been passed down to this day.
