It is said that when the two of them arrived at the county government office, they were still fighting. Qiao Yu hurriedly asked what was the reason for the conflict. The Taoist priest said that the fortune teller insulted him for no reason and even blinded him.
Qiao Zhixian immediately asked the short young man why he had a conflict with the Taoist priest. The short young man was involved in the Taoist priest's conspiracy to steal wives and kill people. He was clearing the door for the yin and yang industry. The specific facts of the case only need to be brought to the lobby by Wan Zidong and his wife from Wanjiazhuang in the east of the city, and they will be self-explanatory.
Shaoqing Wan Zidong brought him there and was immediately surprised when he saw the Taoist priest kneeling in the hall.
Qiao Zhixian was immediately shocked: "Bold Wan Zidong, how did you plot to take away the wife and kill her? Tell me for it!" Wan Zidong was trembling and couldn't say a word.
The short young man said: "You only need to ask his wife to tell the story from the beginning over the past three years, and the case will be self-evident." Magistrate Qiao immediately told the woman: "Tell it truthfully!"
The woman's surname was Xu, and her name was Xu Xian'er. Married to He Laoqi from Hejiapu, He Laoqi is a strong and strong porter. One night, Brother Zhang, who was working with He Laoqi, came in a panic and told Xu Xianer that they were picking feet together and encountered a robber on the way. During the fight with the robbers, he rolled down the hillside, and He Laoqi was killed on the hillside. After questioning, Xu Xianer cried all night. The next morning, Brother Zhang took him to the hillside to look for her husband's body. But they only found blood on the ground and the body was gone.
Jackals were raging in the mountains, so I thought I was dragged away by a wolf. Poor Xu became a widow at a young age, and her husband's body could not be found in the capital. During the Qingming Festival, she could only burn some paper money at the intersection, and her own source of livelihood was cut off. It can be said that she was in poverty.
It is also Xu who misses her husband and often suffers from insomnia in the middle of the night. A few days later, there was a ghost in the house. The local people asked a Taoist priest to perform the ritual. The Taoist priest looked around the yard and said that the ghost was none other than Xu's dead husband. He refused to reincarnate because he could not let go of his wife at home. Mrs. Xu took out the little money she had at home and gave it to the Taoist priest, asking the Taoist priest to drive away the ghost and pacify the soul. Since they are dead, they can rest assured that they will be reincarnated. The couple is separated by yin and yang, and they can only see each other again in the next life. The Taoist priest performed the ritual, put a few spells on it, and then left.
Unexpectedly, the method only worked for three days. On the fourth day, Xu dreamed that her husband was back. When the two met, they hugged tightly, but when they woke up, they found themselves naked. Ms. Xu felt that her husband had a deep relationship with her, so she was not too afraid. Over time, Xu gradually felt nauseated and anorexic. I thought that humans and ghosts had different paths, but I thought it was my husband's Yin Qi that was causing discomfort to my body, so I went to a doctor for diagnosis and treatment. The doctor diagnosed her and said she was pregnant! This was really a shock to the Xu family! She now has no food and clothing, her husband is dead, and if she gives birth to a child, the city will be in trouble, and she has no hope of getting married again. If the husband is a ghost, how can he conceive a child if he has sex with a ghost? For a moment, there was no way from heaven to earth.
At this time, someone came to the door to talk about matchmaking, saying that the wife of Wan Zidong, a member of Wanjiazhuang in the east, died, and the matchmaker from Zhengyang arranged for a sequel. At this time, Xu was helpless and agreed to the marriage.
A few months after their marriage, Mrs. Xu gave birth to a son. Wan Zidong did not dislike the son, but took good care of him as his own. But not long after, he died of illness. Wan Yuanwai loved Mrs. Xu very much and taught her carefully.
Just when he said this, the short young man slapped the table and said, "What does it mean to regard it as one's own child? That is one's own child! If this child dies, that is retribution for him!" Everyone was shocked and didn't know what was going on.
The short young man said: "Wan Zidong was attracted by you and He Laoqi when they first got married. The plan to steal you has been planned for a long time. Your husband He Laoqi was attacked by bandits and it was this old bastard. The envoy's money bribed the bandit and asked the bandit to kill He Laoqi, which was the first sinful step in plotting to rob you. After that, he bribed the Taoist priest, assuming that He Laoqi was reluctant to let his wife haunt him. In fact, it was Wan Zidong who was responsible for it. The ghost, that dream at night was the medicine given by the Taoist priest, allowing Wan Zidong to take advantage of it. After all this was done, Wan Zidong poisoned his wife to death, and then found a matchmaker to come to her house to arrange marriage. At that time You naturally agreed when there was no way to go from heaven to earth."
Everyone was suddenly enlightened when they heard this. The short young man continued: "There is no airtight wall. The wife who was poisoned went to the underworld to report. Yama took the child away and sent an underworld messenger to deliver the news to the three of us to inform us about matters related to the underworld. After the three of us found out, we were so angry. How could such a person who harmed the world and the law be a Taoist priest? There was also a message from the Taoist sect, let us punish him and clean up the sect! I only blinded his eyes, which was already merciful. If it had been my two brothers, he would have been a corpse long ago."
When Mrs. Xu heard this, she got up and started fighting Wan Zidong, but was pulled away by the Yamen servants. Qiao Zhixian paused and asked: "The three of them are all people who know Yin and Yang. I wonder if there are any clues about those bandits? I will send someone to arrest them immediately!"
The short young man didn't speak, but just pursed his lips towards the door. At this time, a yamen servant came in and announced that the young martial artist among the Three Ultimates was escorting several people to the county yamen. Qiao Zhixian immediately led his government officials to greet him, only to see young warriors driving a group of gangsters with their backs cut and their hands strung together like sheep. All of these people had bruises and swollen faces. They had obviously suffered a lot during the fight, and some were even limping.
The magistrate of Qiao County planned to execute a bandit by beheading and Wan Zidong according to the law. If a Taoist priest breaks the law, he will be punished by beheading if the crime is increased to one level.
Xu's daughter was originally a victim, but she did something wrong unintentionally and was released. The Wan family was ordered to compensate Xu's silver, leaving it up to her to decide whether to stay or go. But Xu's daughter refused to leave. She kowtowed and said, "My little girl's body is dirty and she has no face to live on. It's useless to ask for money. Please donate the silver to those in need. The master has great supernatural powers. I hope you will." Give me some advice. When the remains of the little girl’s husband are found, the little girl should kill herself in the same cave as her husband!” After saying this, she continued to cry.
Both masters laughed loudly, and the dwarf master said: "Let's talk about the remains! This... this... you can go back to Hejia Pu's home immediately and pay the money from this. Use some of it to purchase ingredients, wine and meat. You have to cook a good meal before I can cast a spell to find it!"
Magistrate Qiao also looked confused, and the short young man added: "Oh, Mr. Qiao will keep me company."
Qiao Zhixian County immediately sent government officials to work with Xu to purchase ingredients and clean up He Laoliu's house. Xu's daughter was busy cooking in person, while the two masters and Qiao Zhixian were sitting in the house drinking tea. After the Shaoqing dishes were served, Magistrate Qiao asked: "In the past, the three masters advanced and retreated together, but today I don't know why there is only one missing?"
The short young man said: "If what I predict is right, he will be here soon!" As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of horse hooves outside the door, and a tall horse galloped to the door and reined him in. Two people jumped down immediately. The one in front was the young man carrying the sword, and the one behind him was the dead He Laoqi.
The young man carrying the sword opened his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said to everyone: "Don't be afraid, everyone, this is the real He Laoqi, not a ghost."
It turns out that He Laoqi did not die after being stabbed. Instead, he was saved by a group of people and lost his memory. That group was from the circus, and He Laoqi was taken along with the group. It took several months for the wound to heal. Because the troupe needed strong men, he stayed in the troupe to do hard work. Because of his amnesia, he was called a fool in the troupe. On this day, He Laoqi was chopping firewood when a young man carrying a sword suddenly came. The circus is also a martial art, so you can tell at a glance that the person carrying the sword is a fellow martial artist.
The young man with the sword behind him negotiated with the class leader, introduced the whole story, and then took the fool away. The reason why He Laoqi lost his memory was actually because he lost his soul. The young man with a negative sword helped him retrieve his lost soul and brought him back.
When He Laoqi and his wife met, they held their heads and cried. Later, Magistrate Qiao narrated the incident to He Laoqi and told He Laoqi that his wife was a victim and should not be disliked.
