In the near river township outside Kaifeng City, there is a man named Wang Sanlang, who is loyal and honest, his wife Zhu Juan, beautiful and virtuous, and the husband and wife respect each other as guests and are very loving.
The name of the Wang family's door was Li Bin, who was originally a small official in the government, who was dismissed from his post for misconduct, and was mean and vicious, and lustful and greedy. Li Bin saw that Zhu Juan had a beautiful appearance and a graceful posture, so he had evil thoughts and thought about it day and night, but he couldn't find the opportunity.
Early one morning, Li Bin saw Wang Sanlang going out, so he dressed up, came to Wang Sanlang's house, stood outside the curtain, and asked, "Is Brother Wang at home?" ”
At this time, Zhu Juan had just gotten up, heard someone outside the house talking, and asked, "Who is looking for Sanlang?" ”
Ignoring the etiquette, Li Bin opened the curtain, went directly into the back room, and said to Zhu Juan: "I have something to ask Brother Wang for help, I don't know when he will come back?" ”
Zhu Juan saw that it was a neighbor Li Bin, and did not think much about it in her heart, and replied: "Sanlang will not come back until the evening." ”
Li Bin saw that Zhu Juanyun's sideburns were loose, Zhu's lips were lightly opened, and he did not feel that he was attacking his heart, so he pulled Zhu Juan and said: "Sister-in-law sit with me first, I have something to say to my sister-in-law." ”
Zhu Juan saw that Li Bin was rude, knew that he was ill-intentioned, pointed at his face, and scolded: "A six-foot boy in the hall, there is no shame, flirting with people's wives in broad daylight, it is really inferior to animals." ”
Li Bin was ashamed and embarrassed, and afraid of alarming his neighbors, he rushed back to his home, thinking in his heart: "When Wang Sanlang came back, he knew that I was flirting with his wife, and he would definitely not give up, so I might as well do it first to solve the hatred in my heart." ”
Li Bin immediately came to the Wang family with a sharp blade in his hand, and saw Zhu Juan leaning on the railing thoughtfully, taking advantage of his lack of preparation, pulling out the sharp blade and stabbing it into his throat, and blood burst out. Li Bin saw that there was no one around, took off Zhu Juan's shoes and knife and buried them under the Omi Pavilion.
In the evening, Zhu Juan's cousin Zhu Nianliu crossed the river by boat and came to the Wang family, but no one responded, turned the railing, and walked into the house still unoccupied. Zhu Nianliu had to return to the boat, found that his feet were wet and sticky, and did not look closely, took off his shoes and put them aside.
After dark, Wang Sanlang went home, told his wife not to respond, went into the kitchen, lit a candle, or did not see his wife. Wang Sanlang felt strange, took the candle and looked around, walked to the railing, saw a man lying on the ground, covered in blood, and carefully watched that it was his wife. Wang Sanlang hugged his wife and cried, "Who killed my wife?" ”
The neighbors were alarmed by the crying, and they all ran to watch, and when they saw Zhu Juan killed, they all sighed. Suddenly a man said, "There is blood on the ground, and if you look for blood, you may be able to find the murderer." Wang Sanlang listened, gathered more than a dozen neighbors, and chased all the way to Zhu Nianliu's boat in search of blood.
Wang Sanlang caught Zhu Nianliu and scolded, "I have no revenge with you, why did I kill my wife?" Zhu Nianliu was shocked, did not know what had happened, and was beaten up by everyone, tied up, and escorted to Kaifeng Province.
Bao Zhengshengtang tried the case, asked what had happened, and thought to himself: "Zhu Nianliu is Zhu Juan's cousin, the two have a good relationship, and Zhu Nianliu has no motive to kill." If Zhu Nianliu killed someone, why did he take Zhu Juan's shoes? And the murder weapon was not found on the ship, which is unreasonable. Thinking of this, he had a plan in mind and ordered someone to post a list: "Zhu Juan was murdered, her shoes were lost, and someone picked it up and handed it over to the government for a heavy reward." "Posted for a day, no news.
On this day, Li Bin went to the neighboring village to fool around, and after getting drunk, he said to the concubine: "See you are good to me, send you a fortune." ”
The village woman smiled and said, "Since you came to me, you haven't spent a penny, and you still say anything rich!" ”
Li Bin said, "You haven't heard that Wang Sanlang's wife was killed, only because the deceased's shoes were lost, so it can't be judged, and Lord Bao is offering a reward, and there is a heavy reward for the shoes found." I tell you where your shoes are, and you ask someone to take them and get them. ”
The village woman said, "How do you know where the shoes are?" ”
Li Bin said, "I saw a shoe and a knife in the pavilion the day before yesterday, covered in mud, presumably the shoes of Wang Sanlang's wife." ”
The village woman pretended not to believe it, and after Li Bin left, she quietly told her husband that her husband went to Omi pavilion to dig and sure enough, he got shoes and knives. The village woman and her husband went to Kaifeng Province to receive the reward, and Bao Zheng asked them where they got the things from? The village women were in a state of limbos and refused to say so. Bao Zheng thought to himself, "This woman must know something." Pretending not to ask any more questions, he ordered someone to reward them with fifty yuan, and the couple left happily.
Bao Zheng then ordered Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to secretly monitor the village women, and found that some people went to the village women's house to drink, and they must be arrested by the government. The village woman returned home, discussed with her husband to thank Li Bin, invited him to the house to drink, and the husband invited Li Bin to come, and the three of them sat down to drink.
The village woman said, "Thank you Li Lang for telling me, I have received a reward today, and I should share your share." ”
Li Bin smiled and said, "Staying in your home should be wine money." ”
The village woman laughed loudly, and suddenly Zhang Long and Zhao Hu broke into the house, arrested Li Bin and the village woman, and took them to Kaifeng Mansion to see Bao Zheng.
Bao Zheng asked the village woman, "How do you know that the shoes and weapons of the deceased are hidden in the Omi Pavilion?" ”
The village woman was very frightened, and pointed at Li Bin: "He and I committed adultery, he told me after drinking." When Li Bin saw the woman betraying herself, she scolded her.
Bao Zheng slapped Tang Mu and drank, "Hugh has to be reckless, why did he kill Zhu Juan, it is better to confess truthfully?" ”
Li Bin refused to confess at first, until Bao Zheng asked Ya Gong to put a blood-stained shoe in front of him, Li Bin was frightened and scattered, and seeing that the evidence was conclusive, he had to truthfully explain how to murder Zhu Juan.
It turned out that Bao Zheng ordered Zhang Long and Zhao Hu to monitor the village women, and he himself went to the scene of the crime. Bao Zheng found a shoe print at the scene, knowing that the murderer's shoes must be stained with the blood of the deceased, and after Zhang Long and Zhao Hu arrested Li Bin to the palace, they ordered the two to go to Li Bin's house to search, and sure enough, they found shoes with blood stains under the bed.
Li Bin lamented: "The shoes were sewn for me by my mother's own hands, so I didn't want to throw them away, but I didn't expect to cause me a big disaster!" ”
Bao Zheng said angrily, "What caused you a terrible disaster was not the shoes your mother gave you, but the dirty desires in your heart. ”
Subsequently, Bao Zheng sentenced Li Bin to murder and adultery, and was beheaded after the autumn. Village women are distributed to the frontier. Zhu Nianliu was acquitted.
