Qiyang County county magistrate Li Ba. After becoming an official, he was relatively straightforward, never corrupt, and had a hot temper. Therefore, from below the county magistrate, to the official and the yamen runners, all subordinates were very afraid of him. Everyone was frightened by him every day, but due to his identity, he only dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out.
However, Li Ba is very innocent and honest, and most of his salary is to supplement the people. Therefore, the food and clothing at home are very simple, and even if there are some, they are not enough for everyone to eat. Therefore, after his wife and children follow him, they will inevitably endure hunger and cold.
Not long after, Li Ba didn't know what happened, but suddenly died suddenly. There was no choice but to put his body in the coffin to prepare for funeral rituals and other matters.
Although his wife was not happy with him, Li Ba was also her husband, the pillar of the family. When the pillar fell, she naturally felt heartbroken. In the yard, my wife often lay on the coffin and cried bitterly, crying while shouting: "Li Ba, Li Ba, why did you leave like this? Do you know how sad and lonely I am after you die!"
A few days later, my family was about to bury Li Ba's coffin. My wife was still spread on it, crying sadly.
At this time, Li Ba in the coffin suddenly said, "Madam, stop crying, I will be resurrected. Tonight, you set up a table in the hall and call all my previous subordinates over."
The wife was very happy and the family was very excited.
On night, after everything was ready, his wife called out all of Li Ba’s previous subordinates. Although Li Ba was dead, his remaining power was still there, and those subordinates were still a little scared after they came down. However, the county magistrate, chief clerk and others did not come, for some reason.
Wife bowed again, and Li Ba soon appeared on the desk. However, you can tell at a glance that the soul similar to Li Ba is not the body, otherwise it would not be able to be hung in the air. When they saw Li Ba appear, they ran away in fear. A few people were so scared that they knelt down. When Li Ba saw that the number of people was not right, he was furious and asked them to call county magistrate , chief clerk, Dutou, county magistrate and others!
When the people heard this, they hurried out and soon came back. Now the chief clerk, county magistrate and others came. When they saw Li Ba's soul, they all knelt down.
When Li Ba saw this, he was furious and said, "You guys, you are so ruthless! I am dead, you still don't come to pay tribute to me. As for being so afraid of me? Are you really afraid of me, or are you hiding something from me? You are so ruthless, I will kill you you all after seeing it!" After
finished speaking, those people suddenly collapsed on the ground and lost their breath.
The wife was startled. After the spread outside, the families of these subordinates also knew about it. They all came over and kowtowed to Li Ba, begging him to resurrect these people and not be so ruthless.
Li Ba said, "Just send me some things, they will survive!"
"Master, what are we going to send... what are we going to send? How many?" Those people kowtowed like pounding garlic and asked in panic.
"I don't know this, you can do it yourself!"
So, Dian Li and others' families quickly returned home, and each brought five pieces of fine silk cloth to Li Ba. Soon, fifty pieces of silk cloth were collected and sent it to you. Sure enough, after the silk cloth was delivered, the clerk, the county magistrate, the chief clerk and others were all resurrected. After they were resurrected, they immediately kowtowed to Li Ba and thanked him for saving himself.
At this time, Li Ba said to the families of minor officials such as Dutou and County Magistrate: "I have always been good to you. How can they do bad things behind my back? Go back quickly and bring me the good horses at home, more or less, as your wishes, otherwise, your leaders will never survive again."
Those people seem to not believe it. Maybe they are the families of military officers, so they are brave!
Li Ba sneered and said, "I'm too greedy for money and die quickly." When these people came over, all the horses they used fell to the ground and died! Only then did everyone believe that Li Ba has the ability to be like a god.
The families of the minor officials such as Dutou and County Magistrate did not dare to hesitate anymore, and immediately returned home and selected two good horses, a total of ten horses, all of which were taken to Li Ba's home.
Now, everyone was together, but Li Ba was still dissatisfied and pointed at someone and asked him to get out a good carriage; pointed at someone and asked him to get out some silk clothes; pointed at some people and asked them to get out some money. If anyone doesn't listen, let him die! After hearing this, these people did not dare to be careless and went home immediately to prepare, and soon they all came to Li Ba's home.
is like this, and when it was busy, Li Ba asked everyone to leave.
Li Ba's hometown is Chang'an . After everyone left, he said to his family: "After I die, the house was taken back by the court. You can't continue living here. Get the horses, silk, clothes, and money I want, and take them back to your hometown and sell them. It's enough for you to live."
After hearing this, his wife immediately directed her son, servant, etc. to quickly pack and pack them up. It took another hour before everyone got it done. After they were ready, everyone took a carriage and drove the horses on the way back to Chang'an.
After walking for more than ten miles, he had already arrived in the suburbs and Li Ba was gone. The family thought he was gone and cried sadly.
The voice came from the coffin: "I'm here, I'm here, don't cry, what's the use of crying? With this strength, it's better to rush more or sleep more." So, the family stopped crying, pulled Li Ba's coffin, took everything, and all the way was to sleep and rest.
After walking hundreds of miles, Li Ba suddenly said to his son: "Don't sleep tonight, someone will come to steal the horse. So, you have to be prepared." His son agreed.
However, because everyone was tired because they were even on the road, Li Ba's family fell asleep and his son fell asleep. After dawn, everyone realized that the rest of the things were there, but the ten good horses were gone.
Li Ba complained: "I said, don't sleep, don't sleep, you have to be prepared, why are you still asleep? But don't worry, these horses will not be lost. These strong men can help us drive the horses. Remember, there is a store a hundred miles ahead, and there is a road to the north on the east side of the store. When you walk from that road, you will see a forest not far away. The horses are in the woods!" After hearing this, the family was relieved and continued to rush. In less than seven days, they saw a store, and there was indeed a road leading to the north to the east of the store. So, after dinner and resting in the store, my family bought some dry food, filled several large pots of water, and then continued to set off.
Sure enough, after walking for more than ten miles, I saw a horse in the forest in front. It turned out that the robber stole the horse and tied it up here, preparing to pull it into the cottage. When the robbers saw someone coming, they surrounded him, and Li Ba's family was very scared.
At this time, Li Ba showed his soul again and said to the robber: "These are my horses. Do you want it? Do you want me to bring you to King of Yama ? Let's review it!"
The robber looked at Li Ba's soul and floated in the air, so scared that he ran away.
Just like that, relying on Li Ba's soul, the family arrived in Chang'an safely. Li Ba asked his wife to sell the horse. According to his words, his wife sold the horse to a businessman and received a thousand and hundreds of taels of silver. My wife also sold all the silk cloths, and there were also hundreds of taels of silver. After all the other chariots, horses and other items were disposed of, the family got about 2,000 taels of silver.
and other things were handled. Li Ba said to his wife, "After I died, my family was poor, and my subordinates were very greedy, so the King of Hell allowed me to take back some money from my subordinates to help my family. I have done this. From then on, I have to let those subordinates deal with all the money and industries they have greedy, and then I have to be reincarnated. After you bury me, don't be sad, live a good life!"
The wife cried and said, "Husband, let me take a look at you again." The son also cried, and his family and relatives also cried, and they all looked at Li Ba again.
Li Ba said "Okay" and suddenly appeared.I saw his head as big as a jar, his eyes were protruding, and his long tongue was sticking out, like a monster. Everyone was startled and ran away quickly.
"Humans and ghosts are different, bury me quickly, take care of me!" After saying that, Li Ba disappeared. He deliberately did this, hoping to scare his family and not want them to be sad when he sees himself. His mission to comfort his family was completed and he was reincarnated with peace of mind.
