Xie Qian's change, the eunuchs are all thieves' caves. Wang Xue made the house of the Seven Xiangs, and the thieves gathered especially.
After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, because of the policy of "leaving no hair and no hair", various large and small uprisings and riots broke out throughout the country. At that time, the Han people (Zhongyuan) were based on patriarchal Confucianism, and may be able to regard dynastic changes as a heavenly cycle, but "the parents of the body and skin", any change of clothes and changing customs was regarded as a disgrace, no less than a kind of "spiritual castration". In 1646, a peasant uprising led by Xie Qian broke out in Linzi, Shandong. This Xie Qian was originally just a slave of a family, but this man was very powerful, and his uprising lasted for almost three years, achieving certain results and getting rid of the traitor Sun Zhizhuo.

After Xie Qian's uprising, he captured some cities, and when the officials saw the military disaster coming, they all fled. After the rebels invaded the city, there were no dormitories, so they all lived in the courtyard of the deep mansions of the eunuch families. There was a scholar-politician named Wang Qixiang, whose house was many and the courtyard was deep, so there were especially many rebels who were entrenched in his house. Of course, in addition to the rebels, there may also be some local poor people living in it.
This Wang Qixiang, originally a jinshi of the Chongzhen Emperor, enjoyed the state of Lu and was an official in the Qing Dynasty at this time. Those who read and become officials have become traitors, but the coolies and slaves have carried the banner, and it is really "every time there is more slaughter of dogs in righteousness, the most negative is the reader."
The city was broken into the army, swept away the crowd of uglies, filled with corpses, and blood flowed through the doors. Enter the city in public and carry the corpse and live with the blood. Often see ghosts during the day, and at night, they fly under the bed and cry in the corners of the wall.
Later, Xie Qian failed, and the Qing soldiers invaded the city and killed them. Wang Xuezheng returned to his home, only to see that his home was a sea of corpses and blood, and he could not live at all. So he arranged for someone to clean it up, carried away the body, and washed it with water for several days before he moved in.
However, since then, it has not been peaceful, often see strange images, you can see ghosts in the daytime; at night, you can see the ghosts and fires in the courtyard, and you can hear the ghosts crying in the corners.

One day, Wang Sheng, a boarding official, whispered under the bed: "Haodi! The voice grew louder, "I died bitterly!" ”
Because of the crying, the whole court wept.
Gong Wen, the sword entered, and said loudly: "Ru does not know my Wang Academy? ”
But the people scoffed, scoffed.
One day, Wang Haodi went to Wang Xuezheng's house to board.
Sleeping in bed at night, he only heard someone under the bed call him: "Oh! I died so bitterly!" "The voice is getting louder. Gradually, I began to cry.
It didn't matter if this crying, the whole courtyard actually began to cry with it. Who cries? The man who died in this house before.
This cry is really maddening. Wang Xuezheng heard this, hurriedly ran out with his sword, swung it twice, and shouted: "Don't you know Wang Xuezheng Wang Laoye I!?" ”
Only the cries were heard turning into boos, accompanied by screeching laughter.
Seeing that there was no frightening people (ghosts), Wang Xuezheng had to throw away his sword and run back to the house, taking the covered head.
The Gong then set up a water and land dojo and ordered the Release of the Dao Confession. Throwing ghost food at night, you will see phosphorus and fire, and it will come out everywhere.
The next day, Wang Xuezheng summoned the monk Taoist priest and held a water and land festival at home to dispel these wronged souls.
In the evening, a bonfire was lit, the altar table was set up, and the fasting dishes were made.
Only to see the ghost fire flying out of the ground, all condensed on the sacrificial table, the more they gathered, it seemed that they had all come to eat.
This Wang Xuezheng is such a great official! However, when you encounter the people, or when you are not the real people, it seems that the authority is not working. We can only talk about the rules according to the law.
A certain still "Such a big official, Lord Bao"
First of all, the people with the surname of the Khotanese king were sick, and those who did not know the personnel affairs were lost for several days.
It was night, and suddenly the woman woke up, and the woman ate it. Wang Yue: "The right master does not know what to do, and I will eat in the court, and I will follow the crowd." The food has returned, so there is no hunger. ”
There was a subordinate who was seriously ill, did not know the personnel, and was in a coma for a long time.
On the night of the ritual, he suddenly woke up. His wife was happy and asked him if he was hungry.
He replied, "Oh, I'm not really hungry." Just now the old man didn't know why, there was wine in the courtyard, and I went with others to eat a little, so I wasn't hungry. ”
This, the story of a seriously ill servant who was seriously ill and ate the sacrificial table and rice, is also recorded in the Notes on Reading Wei Caotang. The author of this "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang" is Ji Yun, that is, the iron-mouthed copper tooth Ji Xiaolan is also. This is a collection of Zhiwei novels that can imitate Song Dynasty novels, similar to "Liaozhai Zhiyi".

As a result, the ghosts and monsters disappeared. Isn't it cymbal bells and drums, flame mouth yoga, fruitful yahweh?
Speaking of Wang Xuezheng's family, since that water and land festival, the ghosts and monsters have gradually disappeared.
It is also magical, but is it really useful to play music sacrifices and excessive almsgiving?
The Strange Shi Clan said: "Evil things, only virtue can be done." When the city was trapped, the prince was in a state of power, and those who heard the sound were all chestnut, and the ghosts were ridiculed. Want a ghost creature to know that it does not make the end of the world? Tell the world's adults: You can't scare the ghosts when you come out, and you may not have the ghost face! ”
I heard that demons and ghosts can only be inspired by virtue.
Wang Xuezheng is not a particularly large official, and today it seems that he is probably only a position of regional education bureau chief and president of local colleges and universities. But it is such a "scholar official" who has already made the people shudder, why do you say so? You see how bold he was to take out his sword and stand in the courtyard shouting.
However, people are afraid of him, and those who are not human are really not afraid of him.
Advise the people, in the presence of a ghost, you will not frighten him, but in the presence of men, you must not be a ghost.
