In a small county town, two brothers live, and their elder brother Zhao Kuan marrys Mo. Because Zhao Kuan has been doing business abroad for many years, he left behind his uncle and sister-in-law at home. Mo is frivolous by nature and is in his youth. He is not willing to be lonely, so he secretly falls in love with his young and strong brother-in-law Zhao Cheng.
Zhao Chengnian is just sixteen, honest and honest, and goes out early and comes back late every day to do some small business. He usually treats his sister-in-law like his mother and is extremely cautious when dealing with her sister-in-law, so although Mo uses all his tricks and teases many times, Zhao Cheng is indifferent. The weather was extremely hot that day, and it was already dark when Zhao Cheng went home by selling goods in the street market. He went into the yard to unload the cargo and returned to his room. However, as soon as he entered the room, he found someone sleeping on the bed. He walked up to see that it was his sister-in-law Mo.
I saw Mo's dress wide open, lying on the bed half-covered. Seeing this, Zhao Cheng was so excited that he turned around and retreated outside the house. Mo walked out of the house half-covered his clothes, brought out the food and said, "I'll wait until I can't see you come back, I fell asleep unknowingly."
Zhao Chengxin thought it was true, but he didn't think about it carefully.
One afternoon a few days later, it suddenly started to rain. Zhao Cheng closed the stall early and went home. After dinner with his sister-in-law, he went back to the room to read a book alone. Just as I was looking, I suddenly heard a "bang" next door, and then I heard Mo's moan "Ouch Ouch". Zhao Cheng hurriedly ran into his sister-in-law's house to see, but saw a wooden basin falling to the ground, and Mo was lying naked beside the bed. Seeing this, Zhao Cheng immediately exited the door.
Mo called out, "Come and help me..."
Zhao Cheng said outside the house, "Sister-in-law, put on your dress first and then go in."
Mo replied, moaning, "My waist is sprained and I can't wear it."
Zhao Cheng had no choice but to walk into the house, and his hands trembled and picked Mo up from the ground. Mo took the opportunity to hug Zhao Cheng tightly. Zhao Cheng couldn't stand the temptation and hugged Mo tightly in his arms.
From then on, people will never see Zhao Cheng going out early and returning late again. He lazily carried the load and went out after sunshine every day, and closed the stall early in the afternoon and went home.
Time flies, and four or five years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the uncle and sister-in-law are hanging out all day long. Occasionally, Zhao Kuan went home and stayed for a few days, and he was also in a hurry. He didn't notice what happened at home at all. But Zhao Cheng felt more and more guilty and bored, and felt that he was sorry for his brother. Besides, I am already in my twenties and should have set up my own business. When will it be a big deal to mess with my sister-in-law like this?
This year, another family came to propose marriage. The woman is the daughter of Wang Yuanwai not far from here, and her name is Ruigu. This Wang Yuan is very famous locally, and it is considered a shame to be close to Zhao's family. This time, Mo could no longer refuse, so he had to accept the marriage for Zhao Cheng. And choose the "auspicious day" for him to get married. On the day of the wedding ceremony, the Zhao family compound was crowded with people coming to congratulate the wedding. It was very lively. It was not until late at night that everyone left one after another.
The bride Ruigu has been busy for a day and is very sleepy at this time. She sat alone in the bridal chamber waiting for the groom Zhao Cheng to come back, waiting and waiting, she fell asleep leaning against the bed without realizing it. Zhao Cheng sent the last guest away and walked into the bridal chamber to see that Ruigu had already fallen on the bed. He couldn't bear to wake her up, so he walked to the edge of the bed, lifted the quilt and prepared to go to bed. Unexpectedly, this blow frightened him so much that he screamed and ran out of the house. The shouts woke Ruigu up and also alarmed Mo. The Mo family followed Zhao Cheng in a frightened state and found that there was a bloody dead child in his quilt.
When Mo saw him, he immediately started shouting and shouting. The shouts alarmed the neighbors around him, and people all came to see the fun. Ruigu was already scared to death and snuggled in the corner of the wall and trembled.
Mo pointed at Ruigu and cursed: "So you are such a little bitch. You are married to our Zhao family with a wild breeder. You have a baby on the night of the bridal chamber, which ruined my Zhao family's style..." While cursing, Zhao Cheng wrote a divorce letter on the spot and drove Ruigu out of the Zhao family's door.
Mo took Ruigu and went straight to Wang Yuanwai's house overnight. Describe what happened in the Zhao family in detail. Wang Yuanwai was so angry at the sudden news that he beat Ruigu and scolded him out of the house without asking any questions. Poor Ruigu, a weak woman, had nowhere to complain about her, and she jumped into the river that night and committed suicide.
No one came to Zhao's house to propose marriage since then, and Mo and Zhao Cheng continued to have an affair like before, but Zhao Cheng felt even more upset and sad.
On the seventh night after Ruigu's death, Mo and Zhao Cheng were sleeping when they suddenly heard a vague cry of a woman from outside the window. The crying became louder and louder, and finally they came to the window. While crying, they shouted, "What's wrong, what's wrong..." When the two of them heard clearly this was Rui Gu's voice, they were so scared that they were out of their minds and shouted for mercy.
From then on, every day, the woman cried under the window and shouted for justice late at night, making Mo and Zhao Cheng restless day and night. I had no choice but to move to a temple more than 100 miles away and I never heard the cry at night again.
After the Zhao family's uncle and sister-in-law moved away, the old house was free. People nearby knew that the courtyard was "haunted" at night, and the gate was blocked. No one had ever entered this courtyard since then.
This year is approaching the competition period. One day, a scholar came to Beijing to take the exam and passed by here. It was already dusk and it was inconvenient to rush. He found a person in charge of the business on the street and wanted him to find a place to live. The person in charge suddenly remembered that the Zhao family's house was empty, and said, "If you want to say that there is a house, it is very spacious, but the house is not calm, and there will be women crying at night. If you are not afraid, live there."
The scholar said, "I am a scholar and do not believe in gods and ghosts." After that, he followed the man to Zhao's house.
At night, the scholar had eaten and felt that he was still early to bed, so he went to his desk to read. As I read, I suddenly heard the "rustling" outside the window, and a woman's cry came, and the voice became louder and louder. Finally, I came to the window, "What's wrong, what's wrong..."
The scholar shouted boldly: "Who are you? Get out quickly!"
The cry stopped for a moment, and then cried and shouted for grievances.
The scholar asked again with courage: "Don't scare me, you woman. If you have any wrongdoing, I'll avenge you!" As he said that, he pushed open the door and saw a woman in ragged clothes and unkempt face standing under the window. The scholar looked carefully and said, "If you have any wrongdoing, come quickly. I will write a lawsuit to you for grievance."
The woman knelt down and cried to tell her grievances. The scholar was very sympathetic to the woman's experience and wrote the original book of the woman in a small volume, assured the woman that she would definitely seek justice for her. The woman kowtowed three times in a row and cried, "If you can avenge me, you will be a dog and a horse in the next life, and you will be grateful to you!" After that, she left, and never heard the woman's crying again on that night.
Who knew that after the scholar wrote the paper, he stuffed the small roll into the crack of the wall beside the desk. The next day he got up and just kept on taking the exam, and even forgot about the complaint. Later, the cry of a woman came from the yard at night. That spring, a opera troupe came to this county town to act. Unexpectedly, the weather was not good, and it started to rain as soon as it came, so they had to stay and wait for the sun to clear. Coincidentally, they lived in the Zhao family's house back then.
This day, everyone was worried about not being able to sing the show. The head of the opera troupe frowned and turned around in the room. Suddenly, he saw something stuffed in the crack of the wall, so he took it out. It was a small memorial. At first, he just took a look at it casually, but as he looked at it, he was attracted. He finished reading the paper in one breath, and couldn't help but clapped his hands and said, "What a great play." After that, he leaned on the desk and wrote the contents on the paper into a script overnight, and started rehearsing the next day. A few days later, the heavy rain stopped and the show was finished. I was ready to perform.
drama became popular as soon as it was performed, causing a sensation in all directions, and people were competing to watch it. One of the audience members is Wang Yuanwai. The more he watches the play, the more he acts like his daughter Ruigu. The more I looked at it, the more moved I became, and finally I burst into tears. As soon as the play ended, he stumbled onto the stage and found the troupe's manager and said, "I will take your troupe to our place to perform this drama tomorrow. I will give you as much money as you want, and I am willing to spend all my money!"
steward saw that the elder was so sincere and agreed.
Wang Yuanwai invited a good show and went to Mo's house and said, "My daughter has been dead for several years, and it's all in the past. Today I invited a stage show and I'll invite you to take a look."
After Mo moved to his new residence, everything was calm and he had long forgotten what had happened, so he agreed happily. Wang Junwai invited Mo to invite the county magistrate and said that he would definitely enjoy the show, and the county magistrate also agreed happily.
At night, the show started on time. The county magistrate sat in the center, and Wang Junwai and Mo sat on both sides of the county magistrate respectively. At the beginning, Mo was talking and laughing and constantly commenting, but soon her face changed and she was sweating profusely.
Wang Junwai looked at her expression on the side. Later, Mo could no longer sit still and got up to leave. Wang Junwai grabbed her and said, "You must finish watching such a good show! "
Mo had no choice but to continue watching it in fear.
The drama ended. As soon as the curtain closed, Wang Yuanwai knelt in front of the county magistrate, making the county magistrate inexplicable. Then Wang Yuanwai said, "Master Qingtian, are you good to watch this drama? "
County magistrate said: "Okay. "
" Do you think this harmful woman should be killed? "
" It should be killed, it should be killed! "
Wang Yuanwai suddenly burst into tears: "This play is about my family's injustice! The murderer is her! "
County Grand Master turned around and saw that Mo had already fainted. When Ye County Grand Master brought Mo and Wang Yuanwai to the court for interrogation.
in the lobby, how can you hide it? Mo confessed the truth. It turned out that before Zhao Cheng and Ruigu got married, he bribed a carpenter nearby with a lot of money. The carpenter was a second-rate man who was eating, drinking, gambled, and his wife happened to have a dead child, so he took the trouble to put him on the bridal bed.
The truth was revealed, and the carpenter and Mo were both sentenced to death.
