Speaking of Linying County under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou, Henan Province, there is a man named Cha Mingyi. He is a gentle scholar. He was sent to the county school since he was a child and married Yin Zhenniang from a nearby village.

Episode 1: There is a man named Cha Mingyi in Linying County under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou, Henan Province. He is a gentle scholar. He was sent to the county school to study since he was a child and married Yin Zhenniang from a nearby village.

On the night of the wedding, Cha Sheng was about to take off his clothes and sleep, but Yin Zhenniang was having a lot of fun and wanted to teach Cha Sheng's knowledge, so she said to him: "I heard that you have been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since you were a child, and have a lofty ambitions. It is not an ordinary person. Today is the day of your wedding. How can you enter the bridal chamber without saying anything? Let me say the first couplet. If you can get the second couplet, we will enter the bridal chamber; if you can't get it wrong, you should go to study again, and go to the study tonight."

Cha Sheng was also interested when he heard it, and immediately asked Zhenniang to give the question. Zhenniang then said the first couplet: "Light the lamp and climb the pavilion to attack the books." Cha Sheng thought for a while, but he didn't answer. He felt ashamed, so he said goodbye to the bride and went straight to school with the lamp.

At that time, friends in the school saw Cha Sheng coming back at night, and they all stepped forward and asked him: "You should be with the bride tonight, why are you leaving the newbie behind here alone?" Cha Sheng saw his friend ask him, and told his friends the poems he had posted by his wife. After hearing this, the friends didn't answer, so they all went back to their room to rest.

Cha Sheng’s friend is Zheng Zheng, who is usually a joke. When he heard Cha Sheng say this, he sneaked out of the academy while the night is dark.

After Cha Sheng left, Zhen Niang herself regretted the couplet game. In fact, she was just trying to make things difficult for him. Unexpectedly, her husband left in ashamed and regretted it. At this time, a person pushed the door in from outside. Zhen Niang just thought that Cha Sheng had returned, so she asked, "You were sorry for the second couplet just now, why are you back suddenly now? Did you think of the second couplet?" The person who came didn't say anything, just stood there.

Zhenniang thought it was her husband still angry, so she didn't ask again. The person who came to bed with Zhenniang and left before dawn. The next morning, Cha Sheng returned home and bowed to Zhen Niang and said, "I was just a little confused about the first couplet you published last night. I couldn't answer it. I felt ashamed and didn't accompany you." Zhen Niang said, "Didn't you come back last night? Why did you say that?" After asking again and again, Cha Sheng had never come back. After hearing Mr. Cha's words, Zhenniang knew that she had been defiled by others, so she said to Cha Sheng: "I hope you have a bright future. From now on, you will study hard and not miss me." After that, she went into the room and hanged herself. After a while, Cha Sheng found that Cha Sheng was in pain and sadness and fainted on the ground. The parents hurriedly woke up and buried Zhenniang with a coffin.

After a while, Baogong toured to Linying County and arrived at the General Office. Seeing that there was an sycamore tree next to the courtyard of the general court, it was very shaded under the tree, Bao Gong asked someone to move the chair to the sycamore tree to enjoy the moon, and casually said a poem: "Move the chair and lean on the tung tree to play with the moon." He wanted to make a whole sentence, but he couldn't think of the next sentence for a long time, so he lay down on the chair.

While I was sleeping, I saw a woman who was nearly 28 years old and very beautiful, with her head raised and her chest raised, and said, "The adults are thinking about the second half of the sentence, why don't you say, "Light the lamp and climb the pavilion to attack books." "Sugong felt that the answer was very good, so he asked, "Where are you living and what is your name." "The woman replied, "If you want to know where I came from, you will know when you go to the county school to ask the scholar. "After saying that, he turned into a breeze and left. After Bao Gong woke up, he thought about this strange thing. So the next day he came to the county school to inspect the scholars' studies. Bao Gong wrote the sentence "Respect ghosts and gods and stay away from them" in the "Analects of Confucius", and asked the students to write an essay, and then wrote the poem "Move the chair and lean on the tung tree to play with the moon together" in the last question. There was a scholar who checked Yi, and saw that the poem was paired with his wife Zhenniang's sentence, so he wrote: "Light the lamp and climb the pavilion to attack books. ”

After all the students handed in the paper, Bao Gong asked the scholars to wait outside.When Bao Gong was looking at the paper, he accidentally saw that Cha Yi's poem matched his dream, so he called Cha Yi and asked, "I see that your article is written very ordinary, but the poem is very neat. I believe that this poem must be made by someone else, not by you. To be honest, you must not hide it."

Cha Sheng heard Bao Gong ask him, and reported the matter of Zhenniang to Bao Gong. The husband of the Shannon asked him again, "I think when you went to school that night, there must be someone who is the best joker on the day. He knew you wouldn't reply, so he pretended to be you and lived with your wife. Your wife felt ashamed, so he hanged himself. You can tell me, I will avenge you." Cha Sheng: "There is only Zheng Zheng among the students, and he likes to joke the most." After hearing this, Mr. Bao asked the conscript to call Zheng Zheng for interrogation. Zheng Zheng refused to admit it until he died, but later he was sentenced to death and had to confess: Cha Sheng couldn't answer the poem of Zhenniang. When he went to school to talk to his friends about this relationship, I pretended to be Cha Sheng and went to his house. As a result, Zhenniang hangs herself and is willing to take the blame. Bao Gong took the confession and followed the law to Zheng Zheng and the law.
