At the beginning of the play, there is a wedge first.
Dou Tianzhang, a scholar living in Chuzhou, was unable to repay the principal and interest of 40 taels of silver owed to the local Granny Cai, so he had to sell his seven-year-old only daughter Duanyun (Dou E) to Granny Cai as a child bride-in-law. Dou Tianzhang got another ten taels of silver from Granny Cai as travel expenses, and went to Beijing to rush for the exam by himself...
This episode also didn't have too many bright spots, but the actors on stage had superb acting skills, and the transition of the plot was smooth. It looked quite comfortable, but it didn't disappoint everyone much.
"That Xiao Duanyun is not very young, but his acting is quite good."
"You don't know that. They have been trained in this area since they were young. Since they can be on stage, you can't find any faults."
"That's right, but since this play is called "Dou E's Injustice", where is the injustice? I haven't figured it out..."
"What's the hurry, this is just the beginning, let's continue to look down..."
Due to the popularity of the "Bao Qingtian" series some time ago, everyone loves this kind of case-solving dramas very much, and they are all low-level people. Who doesn't like this kind of drama of avenging people's grievances
Soon, they knew where Dou E was wronged.
Cai's family moved, Dou E's husband died early, and her mother-in-law depended on each other, and was framed by the wicked, and happened to meet a corrupt official. In order to save her mother-in-law from being tortured, Dou E had no choice but to confess, pleaded guilty, was sentenced to death, and was taken to the execution ground...
According to the practice of the past drama, at this time, it is the most exciting part of the whole drama.
"This corrupt official deserves to die!"
"This daughter-in-law is really filial. In order to save her mother-in-law from being punished, she is willing to suffer this innocent injustice..."
"Master Bao, why hasn't he appeared yet, hurry up and reverse the case for Dou E!"
"Have you seen the play? How could Mr. Bao appear at this time? It is clear that Zhan's guards descended from the sky first, shouting 'keep people under the sword'..."
Finally, someone beside me couldn't help reminding, "You two brothers, are you playing tricks?"
"... Is there, isn't this Bao Qingtian?"
The line of sight returned to the stage again.
Dou E has been escorted to the execution ground, two voices rang in the ears of everyone, like Hong Zhong Da Lu.
"There is no reason to violate the king's law, not to be wary of being punished, and the screams are shocking. In an instant, the wandering soul went to the Senluo Palace first, so why didn't the world also complain."
"... those who do good suffer poverty and shorten their lives, and those who do evil enjoy wealth and prolong their lifespan. Heaven and earth! They are made to be afraid of the strong and bully the weak, but they push the boat like this! The earth, you don't distinguish between good and evil, what is earth! God, you are mistaken for being a fool and a fool!"
As soon as these two extremely depressing narrations came out, everyone's hearts immediately sank.
They seem to have felt the injustice suffered by Dou E, and it has reached the point where even heaven and earth complain!
At this time, I only heard the supervisor saying: "When death is imminent, what else do you have to say?"
Dou E said: "I want to take a clean seat. When Dou E stands up, I will have two white exercises and hang it on the flag gun. If I, Dou E, are really wronged, my head will fall when the knife passes by, and my blood will not be stained at all." In the ground, they all fly on Bai Lian!"
"Now it's the dog days of heaven. If Dou E is really wronged, after her death, three feet of snow will fall from the sky to cover Dou E's body."
"I, Dou'e, died unjustly. From now on, this Chuzhou will suffer from drought for three years!"
Dou E's voice was sad, and she made three wishes in a row, "Blood stains the white silk, blood flies in June, and there is a severe drought for three years." The venue was silent, and there was no voice of discussion.
The execution officer shouted angrily, "The time has come, let's execute!"
In the middle of the stage, the knife in the executioner's hand was cut down, and Dou E fell to the ground, with blood spilling into the air and splashing on the white silk.
At this moment, more than half of the people in the field couldn't help standing up.
Blood splattered for nothing, sure enough, blood splattered for nothing!
Dou E's first wish has come true!
On the stage, the executioner silently made a gesture. Where there was a missing piece on the stage, a board rose up, and the stage became tight and seamless again.
At this moment, someone below shivered suddenly, and murmured, "Why do I feel that it's chilly around..."
Some people can't help but hold their arms tightly. Although the weather is hot, there are ice mirrors everywhere in Goulan to cool off the heat, but even if it is not hot, it will not be cold...
Someone suddenly noticed a coldness in the nose and couldn't help touching it, but they felt some wet marks.
When I raised my head, I realized that there were actually white "snowflakes" falling down one after another in the sky.
"this… "
"Is it snowing?"
"How is it possible, it's summer now, not to mention, it's inside the fence!"
…
Above everyone's heads, on the thick beams, someone stood there, gently shaking the bamboo basket in his hand, and there were extremely fine pieces of ice sprinkled from above.
By the time everyone looked at the stage again, Dou E's "corpse" had already been buried under heavy snow...
When the tragic music gradually became clear, the few lines of the drama just now could not help appearing in their minds.
"I don't want half-star blood and red dust to be sprinkled, and I'm just hanging in the eight-foot-flag spear!"
"If there is a cavity of resentment gushing out like fire, you must feel it like ice flowers rolling like brocade, lest my corpse show up!"
"I, Dou'e, died unjustly. From now on, this Chuzhou will suffer from drought for three years!"
This time, there was no Guard Zhan, no Bao Qingtian, Dou E was beheaded, and the vows she made before she died were fulfilled one by one, the blood spattered in vain, and the snow fell in June. According to common sense, this is simply impossible!
This is how even the world was touched by her grievances, and her wish was fulfilled!
Next, three years later, Dou E's father, Dou Tianzhang, reversed the case for her, and the injustice was cleared up. But at this time, the atmosphere in the Goulan has begun to become uncontrollable. On the stage, there are actors who are ready to start performing Had no choice but to stop.
Off the stage, I don't know how many people stared in the direction of the stage in a daze, and I don't know how many people burst into tears.
Dou E is unfortunate and miserable, but those who can sit in such a place to watch a play, there are a few rich and noble families, they are not much nobler than Dou E, and they are also subjected to all kinds of black and evil The oppression of power.
This is Dou E's injustice, and it is also their injustice.
It was obvious that the play could no longer be performed, so the steward Goulan had no choice but to announce that the last episode of "The Injustice of Dou E" would be postponed.
When everyone went out, they felt that the scorching sun in the sky was not so hot. Instead, they felt cold all over their bodies, and they also sweated a little, but it was cold sweat.
"What's wrong with you guys?"
"Is the play over?"
"Does it look good?"
"What's the matter, you guys have to say something!"
…
The people outside the venue couldn't find any useful information from the people who had already come out, and at this time, the second show was about to start, so they rushed into the Goulan quickly without asking them.
After a long time, the second group of distraught people walked out of the Goulan.
An unjust case shocked the world, and the snow in June moved the common people.
In just a few days, the drama known as "the most strange injustice in the ages" spread all over the capital.
There are dozens of Goulan in Kyoto, and other plays have been temporarily suspended. From morning to night, there is only one "Dou E's Injustice", which is rehearsed non-stop in each Goulan.
Kyoto County Government.
County magistrate Liu looked at the thick stack of papers in front of him, and suddenly felt a little dizzy. He slumped on the chair and murmured: "The mighty capital, at the feet of the emperor, how can there be so many unjust cases..."
Catcher Zhao below had a wry smile on his face, and said: "Lord Liu, don't complain, these days, the county government is the same everywhere, Chuzhou is next to us, the governor of Chuzhou and Shanyang County Ling has already been scolded to the point of utter indignation, and the people of Kyoto are filled with righteous indignation, some even knelt at the gate of the palace, begging His Royal Highness to thoroughly investigate the injustice case, and restore Dou E's innocence..., this, this is just a drama!"
Magistrate Liu patted the table angrily, and said loudly: "But there are so many unjust cases, how do you ask me to investigate!"
"My lord, this is really nothing. If you think about it this way, if in the drama, it is not the magistrate of Shanyang County, but the magistrate of the capital..."
"Shut up!" County Magistrate Liu's face turned pale, his whole body trembled, he jumped up from his chair, and said loudly, "Beat the drums, get promoted, I'm going to kill ten of you today!"
Kyoto, above the streets.
A man looked at the woman beside him, and said aggrievedly: "Lady, you believe me, I really lost my purse, I didn't raise a vixen outside!"
The woman looked disbelieving, and said angrily: "You are still quibbling, you smell of her perfume on your body, you think I can't smell it..."
In desperation, the man took out a bottle of perfume from his pocket and said, "This is a birthday gift I bought for my wife with the money I saved for a year..."
He cried with a sad face: "You actually suspect that I have raised a vixen outside..., I, I am really more wronged than Dou E!"
"What, you have saved your own money!"
"—"
At the corner of the street, a woman came out chasing an eight or nine-year-old urchin, and said angrily, "Tell me, you didn't go to school today, did you go to Goulan?"
The child stopped, shook his head and said, "I didn't, you wronged me!"
The woman grabbed his arm, "You dare to lie, the teachers in the school have told me!"
"I really didn't!" The child shook his head violently, and said loudly, "Mother, you wronged me. If I die wrongly, I will practice blood spattered in vain. The snow in June will make this capital suffer from three years of severe drought..."
"He still said no!" The woman pulled off his pants in the street, slapped him a few times, and said, "I'll let your blood splatter for nothing, let you snow in June, and let you suffer from drought for three years." …”
…
In the recent days in Kyoto, there has been a wave of grievances. No matter men, women, old or young, everyone calls themselves Dou E. During the free performance of Goulan, there are not even many pedestrians on the usually crowded streets.
In addition, the yamen of the counties were blocked by the people who were appealing every day. It was not until the government took a tough attitude and suppressed a few groups of people who took the opportunity to make trouble that the situation improved.
At this time, in front of the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice, a weak woman walked out of the crowd, knocked on the big drum at the door of the Yamen, knelt down in front of the door, and shouted in a mournful voice.
"My lord, you are wronged!"
