Northern Song During the reign of Renzong, there was a scholar named Liu Ming in Linying County, Xuzhou. He entered school when he was young and went to a private school with his teacher in Zhao Jiayu. Among the same group of students, one of them was Huang Yong who had the best relationship with him. The two grew up together and almost talked about everything.

Liu Ming's family is a little richer, while Huang Yong's family is very poor, and the two families are not far away. Originally, when Huang Yong was ten years old, he should have followed his father to herd cattle, but Liu Ming was unwilling to let this playmate fall into the inferior from now on, so he begged his father to let Huang Yong be his companion to study together and come to Zhao Jiayu to study together.
When Liu Ming was young, Liu's father told him a marriage, which was Yueru, the daughter of Zhao Yuanwai. Yueru was born smart, and she was good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Zhao Yuanwai also invited old scholars from the hometown to teach for her daughter.
An old Confucian sentence, Yueru can often think of three or four sentences. She needs to memorize it carefully. The articles that other students can only memorize in the morning. Yueru can memorize it in half an hour.
When he was ten years old, even the teacher was amazed by the articles and poems written by Yueru, and often sighed: "Yueru is really smart, but unfortunately he gave birth to the wrong gender. If he was a man, the first place in high school in the future will be a foregone conclusion."

Zhao Yuanwai and his wife also favored this daughter very much. Yue Ru was a little arrogant and did not take the men in the world at all. She once threatened: "The future husband must surpass her in talent in order to make her serve with willingness."
The biggest danger for people is that they think they have something to rely on. Those who rely on courage will be defeated by courage, those who rely on money will be defeated by money, and those who rely on talent will be defeated by talent. This is because people who think they rely on dare to take risks that others dare not take, do things that others dare not do, and take this as honor. Disasters are already hidden in it.
Time passed by like a flash, and suddenly, in the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, Liu Ming and Yueru were both adults. Under the arrangement of their parents, the two successfully held their wedding. Although Yueru had many dissatisfactions, they did not dare to disobey their parents' orders and the matchmaker's words.
But when I entered the bridal chamber, Yueru's competitive heart could not be suppressed. Liu Ming lifted her veil and was about to kiss her, but Yueru raised her hand to stop him: "Don't be anxious first, when I was a child, I once swore that my future husband must surpass me in talent studies, so I was willing to serve him. You have been in school for so many years, how dare you compete with me?"

At that time, I believed that women without talent is virtue. Few women were proficient in literature and history. Liu Ming was inspired by Yueru's words and was not willing to be outdone. He said, "What's the difficulty of competing with you? Just set the questions so that you know that there are people outside of others and there is heaven. Don't underestimate them as husband!"
0 Yueru smiled and said, "Okay, since it's a competition, you have to have bets. I am a woman, I can't Being above my husband, so I wrote a lower couplet. If you can match the upper couplet, we will have fun in the bridal chamber. If you don’t match it, I’m sorry, my husband should put his studies first and don’t think about anything else tonight.”
Liu Ming said disdainfully: “You’ll just ask questions. If I can’t match it, you don’t need to say more. I don’t have the face to stay in your room.”
month Ru turned her head and looked at the candle on the table, and said casually, "'Light the lamp and climb the pavilion to attack books', please don't know what to do."

Liu Ming thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out at all. Yue Ru's mouth curled up, and her smile became more and more intense. Liu Ming couldn't meet it, and his face turned red with shame, and he didn't dare to say more. He immediately turned around and left, and walked straight towards the school.
At this time, Huang Yong envied Liu Ming for marrying, but he was still alone. He couldn't sleep in his boredom. He walked into the courtyard for a walk and happened to see Liu Ming coming back. He asked strangely: "Brother Liu, as the saying goes, 'A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold'. Today is your happy day. You are about to accompany your wife, why did you run back alone?"
Liu Ming scratched his head and said embarrassedly about his competition with Yueru. Huang Yong thought for a while but couldn't answer, so Liu Ming went straight back to the house.
At this time, Huang Yong had a bold plan in his mind. Seeing Liu Ming blowing out the candle, he turned around and ran to the new house. At this time, Yue Ru was also a little regretful. He wanted to play a game, but he didn't expect that he would really let her husband go away. He was embarrassed to speak and asked him to keep him, so he had to blow out the candle and go to bed.

After a while, Huang Yong suddenly pushed the door and came in. Yueru thought it was her husband who came back and asked, "You just left because you couldn't answer my first couplet. Why did you run back by yourself now?"
Huang Yong deliberately did not speak, and walked to the bedside with fumble. Yueru thought it was her husband who was angry with him, so she didn't get better and continued to ask. Huang Yong took the opportunity to do whatever he wanted and ran back the next day before dawn.
Huang Yong was free, but Liu Ming didn't close his eyes all night. After finally dawn, he returned to his new house again. At this time, Yueru had just finished washing and rinsed. Liu Ming said embarrassedly: "My wife, please forgive me. I did not meet the couplet last night. Please forgive me."
Hearing this, Yueru felt a little uncomfortable and said, "Didn't you come back yesterday? Why do you want to say more of this to tease me?"

Liu Ming tilted his head and said in confusion: "What does this mean by Madam? I was really last night. I feel ashamed. After returning to the school, I didn’t close my eyes all night, so how could I go back? "
Yueru was shocked. He knew that he was taken advantage of by the thief last night. He felt so sad. He still didn’t show it on his face. Instead, he said, “My husband did not come back yesterday. If you have to study harder in the future, you will definitely have a bright future. Don’t worry about me.”
Liu Ming thought it was Yueru who was angry that he was ignorant. He was about to explain, but was bombarded by Yueru. Liu Ming had no choice but to go back for the time being. Yueru cried bitterly in the room. Unexpectedly, because of his temporary competitive spirit, his body was insulted by the thief. What else should he have to live in the world?
As soon as he thought of this, he hung three-foot white silk on the beam of the house and hanged himself and died. When Liu Ming turned back again in the afternoon, he found Yueru's body and hurriedly carried her down, but Yueru had already lost her vital signs.
Liu Ming was extremely sad and cried so hard that he fainted. He could not understand why Yueru committed suicide and could not report to the official. He could only prepare a coffin and a shroud and buried Yueru.

Another year has passed. On the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, Bao Zheng came to Linying County for inspection. When he saw the full moon in the sky, he was as cute as a white jade plate, so he called someone to bring a chair and sit in the courtyard to enjoy the moon.
At that time, there was an sycamore tree in the yard. The moonlight shone on the ground through the gaps of the leaves, like water plants intertwined in the water, which was very interesting. Therefore, I asked someone to move the chair to the bottom of the sycamore tree. I was immediately excited and said casually: "Move the chair and lean on the tung tree to play with the moon."
After chanting the first sentence, I couldn't think of how to deal with the second couplet. I thought hard for a long time, and lying under the sycamore tree began to drowsy. While I was sleeping but not sleeping, I seemed to see a woman with her hair spread out. She walked to Bao Zheng and said, "I am not talented, I am willing to talk to the upper and lower couplets for the adults."
Bao Zheng was very surprised and asked the woman to say the second couplet. The woman said casually: "Light the lamp and climb the pavilion to attack the books."
Bao Zheng clapped and said, "Where is your home? Whose name is? Can you tell me your name? "
The woman suddenly knelt on the ground and cried and said, "If you want to know my origin, you might as well use these two lines of poetry to test the scholars in this county. "
Bao Zheng has to ask again. The woman has turned into a breeze and dissipated. Bao Zheng woke up from his dream. He remembered that he must have encountered an unjust case. He decided to take the lead in his own investigation.

Early the next morning, Bao Zheng ordered the exam to be more scholars from all over the county, anxious that everyone would come to his own exam. He first came up with a question, which was the sentence "respect the ghosts and gods and stay away from him" in the "Analects of Confucius" and asked the scholars to write an essay, and then The sentence "Move the chair and play with the moon together" was placed at the end of the test paper.
After everyone answered the paper, Bao Zheng collected the test paper, including two of which were written in the second couplet "Light the lamp and climb the pavilion to attack books", namely Huang Yong and Li Ming.
Bao Zheng dismissed the other scholars, leaving Liu Ming and Huang Yong alone. He called Huang Yong and asked, "I see that your article is written in a normal way, and there is nothing to be given, but the poem that was right in the end is extraordinary, not as if it was written by you. What's going on? "
Liu Ming looked ashamed and said, "The adults predicted things like a god. This poem was indeed not written by me. It was actually a question that my wife gave me in order to test the wedding night. She saw the adults' upper couplet coupled with my own lower couplet, so she came up with the next sentence. "

if infringement" Where is your wife now? "Bao Zheng asked.
Liu Ming looked sad and said, "Sir, I did not express the first couplet. Maybe my wife disliked me and did not make her good match. She hanged herself the next day after getting married. "Liu Ming said and said what happened that day.
"Have you mentioned the competition with your wife to others? "Bao Zheng asked afterwards.
Liu Ming thought for a while and said, "I just told Huang Yong that night, when I returned to the school, Huang Yong had not yet gone to bed. When asked about the reason why I came back, I told him. "
Bao Zheng understood it and then asked, "Do you and that Huang Yong rest in the same room at night? "
" that doesn't. "Liu Ming shook his head and continued, "Although he was nominally my companion, we were actually brothers and sisters. I arranged a room for him alone, but I couldn't sleep that night and wanted to chat with him, but found that he was not in the room. It was not until dawn that I heard the noise in his room. "

, rescue Liu Ming asked him to retreat for the time being, and then called Huang Yong and asked, "Your second couplet is very neatly matched. Whose work is it? "
Huang Yong bowed and said, "Sir, I was joking. This poem appeared on the student's paper, and it was naturally written by the student. "
Bao Zheng shouted suddenly: "Nonsense, I just asked Liu Ming, he said that this poem was made by his deceased wife, why are you lying? "
Huang Yong's heart trembled, and he knelt down with a plop: "Sir, please spare my life. This poem was indeed what Liu Ming told me. The student showed his face in front of the adults and said that it was written by himself. Please forgive me. "
Bao Zheng's face gradually became stern and he asked, "Huang Yong, who was you in your room the night Liu Ming got married? "
Huang Yong said, "Sir, the students went to bed early that night. "
Bao Zheng shouted angrily: "You lied, that night, your door was locked outside your room and it wasn't in your room at all. Where did you go? If you dare to deceive me again, you will be punished heavily! "
Huang Yong hurriedly kowtowed and apologized: "Sir, please spare me. It's been too long. I can't remember it very clearly. As soon as the adult reminded me, the student remembered that that night, the student suddenly missed homesome, so he rushed back overnight and didn't come back until dawn."
people did something wrong and always wanted to cover it up by lying, but more and more lies, but the loopholes became bigger and bigger. In the end, they found that once some mistakes were made, they could never be covered up.

After all, it is a major matter of life. Bao Zheng did not make a decision, but called Huang Yong's father again and asked him whether Huang Yong had returned home overnight that day.
Huang's father was shaking He shook his head and said that his son's opportunity to study was hard-won. Before he entered school, he told him in every way to cherish the opportunity and be grateful for the help of the Liu family. He would never go home easily without learning some achievements. In recent years, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival, and he was not allowed to go home for the rest of the time.
Bao Zheng finally confirmed and Huang Yong. Liu Ming called over and said, "I have already found out about this case. Huang Yong, you didn't go home that day, but took advantage of Liu Ming's departure and ran to Yueru's room to defile her. Afterwards, Yueru discovered the clues, so he hanged himself with anger, right? "
Huang Yong still wanted to deny it, but he couldn't tell the reason. Bao Zheng was furious and ordered a great punishment. Huang Yong was afraid of suffering from flesh and blood, so he had to admit the crime and finally kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Although I defiled Yue Ru, I did not kill her. I cannot be sentenced to my crime because of her death! "
Bao Zheng shouted angrily: "Although you didn't kill Yueru personally, Yueru died because you took away chastity. You dare to say that it has nothing to do with you. It's really hard tolerate it. "Then Huang Yong was sentenced to death, and the case was settled.
