As the saying goes, "Bad people are not scary, but they are afraid that bad people are educated." ”

Since ancient times, there have been some strange cases in society.

In ancient times, due to technical limitations, it was even more difficult to solve a case with means.

The strange case we are going to talk about today is a tragedy caused by an ancient merchant who fell in love with a friend's wife and spent money to spend a night with him.

Strange case in the Ming Dynasty: A wealthy businessman took a fancy to his friend's wife and spent 5 taels of silver to spend a night together, but the result was tragic

During the Qing Dynasty, there was a merchant from Zhejiang named Fang Twenty-five. He had a friend named Shi Ming, and Shi Ming's wife, Jiang, was very beautiful and beautiful, and very virtuous and virtuous.

Fang Twenty-five admired Jiang's beauty very much, and in the process of contact, he admired Jiang's personality very much, because he had a good impression of Jiang, and once became lovesick because of it.

Considering that as a businessman, he still had certain economic conditions, so Fang Twenty-five made a reluctant request to Shi Ming like a ghost, that is, to spend money to spend one night with the Jiang family.

Shi Ming's family conditions were average, and after hearing Fang Twenty-five's request, although he was very angry at first, after weighing the pros and cons, in the end, the temptation of money and the friendship with Fang Twenty-five made him agree to Fang Twenty-five's absurd request.

On the evening of the same day, Shi Ming left the house and asked Fang Twenty-five to go to his house.

But when he returned home the next day, Shi Ming found that his wife Jiang had been killed, and her head was missing.

At this time, Shi Ming concluded that it was his so-called friend Fang Twenty-five who was ruthless.

So he was very angry, came to Fang Twenty-five's house, first punched and kicked him fiercely, and then ran to the government to sue Fang Twenty-five to the local yamen, wanting him to pay for his wife's life.

Soon, the yamen took over the case and summoned Fang Twenty-five for interrogation.

However, Fang Twenty-five refused to admit his guilt, and also showed a very aggrieved posture.

Due to the lack of human and material evidence, Fang Twenty-five himself refused to admit it, and his attitude was very resolute, which led to a deadlock in the whole case for a while.

In this way, a year has passed, and there has been no progress in this case, but the local people have been talking about it.

In order to stop public opinion, the local prefect Guo Gong decided to reopen the case and thoroughly investigate it to the end.

But at this time, Shi Ming was bribed by Fang Twenty-five's father and after a long time, he was not as angry as he was then, and he wanted to apply for the case to be withdrawn.

When the prefect Guo Gong learned about it, he reprimanded him, and the case was able to continue the investigation.

In order to catch the murderer of the Jiang family, Guo Gong deliberately released outside that the case had been investigated clearly, and Fang Twenty-five was the murderer, and decided to behead him after the autumn.

After the news spread, the people talked a lot, and many people felt that Fang Twenty-five had been wronged.

On the other side, Guo Gongren secretly visited, and they found something suspicious about a painting master. He was immediately interrogated as a suspect.

After interrogation, the painter finally admitted that the Jiang family was indeed killed by him.

At that time, he molested the Jiang family but was resisted by the Jiang family, so he killed the Jiang family by mistake when he forced the Jiang family.

Later, in order to clear the suspicion of blaming others, he cut off Jiang's head and hung it in front of a Zhejiang merchant engaged in coffin trading.

The official of the yamen found the owner of the coffin shop, Ye, who said that after seeing the head, he threw it into a dry well in order to avoid being implicated.

Everyone went to the dry well to check, but unexpectedly, when checking the dry well, they unexpectedly found the body of a Zhejiang businessman.

This time, a case that has been inconclusive for many years has also been involved. After interrogation, it turned out that the body of this Zhejiang businessman was Fang Twenty-five years of missing uncle.

And the reason why his uncle disappeared was because he came to the local area to sell silk, and because he took a fancy to the silk brought by Fang Twenty-five's uncle was very valuable, he became greedy and wanted to take it for himself.

So, after Boss Ye drunk Fang Twenty-five's uncle, he brutally strangled him to death, and then took his property for himself as he wished, and threw his body into this dry well.

I thought that in this way, I could dispose of Uncle Fang Twenty-five unknowingly, and I could create the illusion of Uncle Fang Twenty-five missing to the outside world.

Unexpectedly, many years later, an unintentional move by himself involved the murder he had committed before.

Since then, the two cases have all come to light, and Guo Gong's punishment for these parties is that Boss Ye and the paint master are unforgivable because they deprived others of their lives, and they are waiting for the autumn queen to be beheaded.

Shi Ming and Fang Twenty-five were greedy for money and lustful, fined and criticized and educated, and then put them back. After Shi Ming and Fang Twenty-five went back, they both reflected on their mistakes.

Fang Twenty-five apologized to Shi Ming, saying that it was because he coveted Shi Ming's wife's beauty that he indirectly led to the killing of Shi Ming's wife.

And Shi Ming also said that he should not rent out his wife to others for money, and he also needs to bear part of the responsibility. After that, the two hugged their heads and cried, and said that they would remember Jiang's virtues when they were alive for the rest of their lives to make up for their mistakes.

In order to comfort his guilt-filled soul, Fang Twenty-five took out all his family's property and donated it to some poor people.

In addition, he also built a temple in Jian'an County to enshrine the Jiang family's spiritual seat, and he was able to often go to the Jiang family to confess his mistakes.

Shi Ming has not remarried since then, he is alone like this, and burns incense in front of Jiang's grave all day long. recalling the bits and pieces of his previous life with the Jiang family, he often burst into tears.

As time passed, the two gradually turned gray, but the two never forgot the mistakes they made when they were young and the guilt they felt about the Jiang family.

Even after the death of both men, their deeds are still circulated among the people, and people are warned to regulate their own behavior.

Jiang didn't do anything wrong, but he was killed because he was beautiful.

Shi Ming was selfish, did not respect his wife at all, and bought and sold his wife as a commodity for money.

And Fang Twenty-five knew that Jiang was a friend's wife, but he still had to violate ethics. Boss Ye and the paint master thought that they had killed someone and could hide the past.

"Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky", God will not wronged a good person, and at the same time, it will not let go of a bad person.

To be a man, you still have to recognize your own position, and don't regret it for life because of greed.
