The merchant went out to do business and dreamed of his pregnant wife saying goodbye to him. The merchant was horrified and ran back home in a hurry, only to find that his wife had died in childbirth, and his old mother had gone mad. The merchant went to visit his mother, but listened to his mother, and suddenly said: Flowers in the snow, daggers in the night, and on the head of the mother, there is no tailless abundance. The businessman was shocked and rushed to report to the officials

The merchant's name was Xu De, and his family was very wealthy, but he had no children under his knees. His wife Zhao shi persuaded him to take a concubine, but Xu De repeatedly refused. The couple later agreed to adopt a son among Xu's foreign relatives.

The step-son took the name Xu Bin and came to the Xu family when he was already fifteen years old. Although he was not Xu De's closest relative, Xu De regarded him as his own and often took him with him.

Three years later, the Xu family flourished, and Xu Bin also became a family early and married a wife. Xu De and his wife had long been looking forward to holding their grandson, but they never expected that Zhao Shi, who was over forty years old, was unexpectedly pregnant.

This unexpected surprise surprised Xu De, but his stepson Xu Bin suffered from heart disease. Xu Bin originally thought that this big family business would be his sooner or later, but now that his stepmother was pregnant, he was afraid of being swept out of the house sooner or later.

Xu Bin was afraid and uneasy all day, and his wife, Yan Shi, could not know, but instead of comforting her husband, she incited the wind and ignited the fire on the side.

"You're a shit! If you think about the Xu family today, you have also made a lot of efforts. Even if you divide the property in the future, you will have to have half of it. ”

Xu Bin sighed and said, "You think too much, my father and I have not only not helped in the past few years, but also added a lot of chaos." Now that my father has his own flesh and blood, I have become an outsider in this family. ”

Yan Shi looked at her husband who was squatting on the ground, frowning, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly came up with an idea...

Three months later, Xu De had a debt to collect and was going to leave home for a month, and before he left, he instructed his son and daughter-in-law to take good care of the Zhao family who was waiting to give birth, and the eighty-year-old woman who had bad legs and feet.

Xu Bin patted his chest and said, "Father rest assured, his son will surely ensure that the family is foolproof."

Xu De was very relieved to hear this, and after his heart came back, he planned to entrust the business matters to Xu Bin to take care of. But he never expected that when he left, a huge change had taken place in his home.

Half a month later, Xu De stayed in an inn to collect the arrears, and he always felt restless in recent days, as if something big was going to happen.

Just when he was sleeping confusedly, he suddenly dreamed of his wife Zhao Shi. And the Zhao family in the dream is on the other side of the river, and there is a little boy on the left hand side.

Xu De desperately shouted, his wife did not say a word, when he wanted to cross the big river in front of him, the whole person was engulfed by the river.

"Snow plum! Don't go! With an exclamation, Xu De woke up from the nightmare, he had a premonition that something was not good, he took care of a fast horse, and the starry night rushed back home.

Near the door, Xu De saw from a distance that there was a white cloth hanging on the door, and his heart suddenly trembled, but when he saw the coffin in the hall, he was stupid.

"Daddy! father! The son is not filial, the son did not take good care of the mother! ”

The son and daughter-in-law knelt in front of Xu De, who looked at the corpse in the coffin and asked tremblingly, "Your mother!" How did he die? ”

Daughter-in-law Yan Shi cried and replied: "The mother was suddenly premature three days ago, and the blood flowed non-stop, and when Lang Zhonghe and the midwife arrived, people would not be able to do it..."

When Weng woke up, he asked Xu Bin, "How is your grandmother?"

Xu Bin was stunned and then cried, "Daddy! When the grandmother learned that her mother was dead, the grandmother could not bear it, and she went crazy! ”

"Mother! mother! Xu De stumbled and fell, went straight to the old woman's room, and after entering the house, she smelled the stench in the room, and her old lady was sitting on the ground, smiling hesitantly.

"Mother! I'm your de'er, don't you know me? ”

Xu De hugged the old woman and cried bitterly, but he did not know that Xu Bin and his wife hid outside the door with a sharp blade in their hands. The old lady glanced obliquely, and in her mouth fragmented the words: "Flowers in the snow, daggers in the night, and on the head of the mother, there is no tailless abundance."

The two people outside the door listened to the confused, all of which were the crazy words of the old lady. But at this time, Xu De understood the meaning. He squeezed the old woman's hand and went out the door.

Only to see Xu De, he called Xu Bin to his side and said: Son! The death of your mother makes your father feel haggard in his heart, this is the land title key of our family, etc., and it will be handed over to you to take care of later. Dad wants to choose a good cemetery for your mother, and if you need to go out, you will take care of your grandmother at home and wait for me to come back.

After Xu De left, Xu Bin's inner joy overflowed into words, but when he and Yan Shi were secretly secretly rejoicing, they saw the officers and soldiers of the palace and suddenly rushed into the house.

Xu De took a man with him, but it was the servant of the government, and after examining the corpse, he bowed down to the prefect and said: Your Honor! The female corpse was poisoned and died.

The prefect said angrily, "If you two don't honestly confess, do you still want the government to be punished?"

Seeing that the evidence is conclusive, Xu Bin and his wife can only honestly confess that the original master mother, Zhao Shi, was poisoned by them and died, but they did not know why, and were discovered by Xu De?

Only to see Xu De gritting his teeth and hating: "It is not me who discovered your evil deeds, it is my mother." My mother said that the flower in the snow is a plum word, and the one-night dagger, taken together, is a dead word, the mother's head, is tailless, clearly a poisonous word, connected is "plum death poison" and my wife, is called Zhao Xuemei.

It turned out that when the two committed murder that day, they were inadvertently seen by Xu Mu. In order to avoid persecution, she pretended to be crazy and stupid, and slept in the pigsty all day, which confused the two and waited until Xu De returned.

After the truth came out, Xu Bin and Yan Shi were beheaded according to law, and Xu De also never married, and has been guarding the grave of his deceased wife.

The story is called "Syphilis Poison" and is taken from a folk tale
