Collection of strange powers and chaotic gods

Once upon a time, a strange thing happened in Ganzhou Prefecture (now Zhangye City, Gansu Province).

Generally speaking, a lawsuit has only one plaintiff and one defendant.

The reason why this matter is said to be strange is that two people are involved in a lawsuit, and both claim that they are the plaintiff and want to accuse the other party.

A long time has passed, and no one can remember the real names of these two people. The case files have been lost and cannot be checked. Let's call them Zhang San and Li Si here.

It is said that on this day, Zhang San and Li Si came to the government office in Zhangye County, Ganzhou Prefecture, beating drums to complain and accuse the other party.

The Zhangye County Magistrate went to court to inquire about the case.

As is customary, he asked who was the plaintiff? Who is the defendant?

Zhang San said first: "I am the plaintiff! I want to accuse Li Si of spreading rumors and slandering me to ruin my reputation!"

Li Si was not to be outdone and said: "I am the plaintiff! I have facts, evidence, and witnesses! I want to accuse Zhang San of being dishonest, cheating, and trying to embezzle my property!"

The Zhangye County Magistrate was very surprised!

Since becoming an official, he has tried not only [-] cases, but also [-] cases. I have never encountered such a strange thing, in the same case, the plaintiff and defendant are suing each other!

I couldn't help but become curious and interrogated the case in detail.

It turns out that Zhang San and Li Si are direct cousins.

Some time ago, Zhang San took his wife to make a living outside the Great Wall. Li Si had nothing good to do at home, so he went with them.

Along the way, we ate and slept in the open, traveling day and night.

On this day, I arrived dozens of miles east of Ganzhou Prefecture. Because I was in a hurry, I missed the inn where I wanted to stay.

In desperation, I had no choice but to bravely drive through the night.

However, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and they were in a panic. They lost their way in the rush and could not find the way ahead.

Several people were scurrying around like headless flies. Suddenly, I met a person on the road. He was dressed like a servant, but his clothes were also bright and noble. He must have belonged to a wealthy family.

Zhang San and Li Si quickly stepped forward to ask for directions.

The servant asked strangely: "It's already dark. Are you in such a hurry? Is there something urgent?"

Zhang San bowed and said: "To be honest, we are not in any hurry. We just accidentally missed our hotel, so we had to rush all night. Unexpectedly, it rained all night, and we got lost again when we got here. . Please give me some guidance!"

The servant seemed to be enlightened and said, "So that's it! This is a remote path that few people usually walk. I wonder why such a group of people are coming here! It turns out that I'm lost!"

Li Si also begged: "Brother, please show us the direction! We are grateful!"

The servant said: "It's getting late, and there are few people here. I'm worried that even if I show you the way, you'll get lost again soon!"

Zhang San couldn't help but be anxious: "What should we do?"

The servant said enthusiastically: "I don't think it's better than this: My master's house is not far from here. You can go and stay here tonight and wait until dawn tomorrow morning before leaving! Then you can see the road clearly. I I’ll show you a shortcut to the pipeline, and you won’t get lost again!”

Zhang San said: "Isn't it a good idea to disturb your house late at night?"

"It doesn't matter! My master is a well-known good man, and he is always hospitable. If you come to stay overnight, he will definitely not refuse!"

Zhang San said gratefully: "In that case, let's go over and chat about it all night!

The servant said: "You're welcome! Come with me!"

Zhang San and Li Si followed the servant.

After walking for three or four miles, I saw a small castle.

When they arrived at the door, the servant asked Zhang San and Li Si to wait outside for a moment while he went in first to inform the master.

After the servant went in, it took a while before he came out. He waved to several people and said, "My master lets you come in!"

Zhang San and Li Si were all overjoyed.

I followed him in, turned a few turns, passed through several doors, and finally came to a lobby.

I saw a noble official sitting in the magnificent lobby.

He solemnly asked Zhang San and Li Si, their surnames, where they were from, why they were passing through this place, where they wanted to go, etc.

Zhang San and others did not dare to lie and told the truth truthfully.

The official said politely: "You are late! There are no leftovers at home, and the cook has gone to bed, so I can't treat you to dinner."

Zhang San said quickly: "We have carried dry food and water with us, and we are not hungry. We just want to stay in your house for one night, and we will get up and start our journey at dawn tomorrow morning."

The official said: "If it's just accommodation, I can arrange it!"

He directed the servant and said: "The small room next to the porter can sleep two people there. You can take the two men there to sleep later! This woman, you send her to the house of the maid and the old woman, and sleep with them." Let’s sleep together!”

Everything was arranged and everyone went to sleep.

Zhang San and Li Si were sleeping in a daze, and they seemed to hear a woman yelling.

Zhang San seemed to hear his wife's voice and quickly got up to check. The room was dark and he couldn't see anything. After groping for a long time, he couldn't find the door.

When I listened again, everything was completely silent and no sound could be heard.

He called Li Si, and the two of them discussed it. They both felt that they were too tired from traveling during the day, which caused them to have tinnitus and auditory hallucinations.

So the two of them stopped thinking about it and slept peacefully.

When the sun came up, the two of them woke up and found that they were sleeping in the wilderness!

The two looked around in panic for Zhang San's wife.

When I found her, I found her under a big tree half a mile away. She was naked, her hands were tied behind her back, her hair was messy, her hairpins were in pieces, and her clothes were hung high on the branches of a tree.

When the woman saw Zhang San, she burst into tears.

Zhang San quickly told Li Si to turn around, close his eyes, and not to peek at his wife's naked appearance.

He stepped forward and untied the rope that tied his wife, took off the clothes from the tree branch, and asked her what was going on while letting her put it on.

The woman wept and told him what had happened to her.

Last night, the servant took her to the room where the maid slept and then left.

Then a maid said to take her to bed, so she brought her here with a lantern.

There were several beautiful houses here at that time, and there were also several maids.

When she was about to go to bed, the official she saw in the lobby suddenly came over.

When the man arrived, he showed his fierceness and forced her to sleep with him.

She firmly disagreed and threatened to die.

The man signaled the maids and old ladies to swarm over her, holding her down with all kinds of hands, grabbing her arms, hugging her legs, taking off her clothes, tying her hands behind her back, and throwing her on the bed.

She yelled for help, but no one answered her. She was a weak woman. Although she struggled and resisted with all her strength, her strength was limited and she was raped in the end.

When it was almost dawn, the man put two things on her neck where she was lying, and then left. Immediately, the houses disappeared, and the bed beneath her disappeared, turning into the gravel that was now her butt.

Zhang San and Li Si hurried forward to check the object that was originally thrown at the woman's neck. They found two ingots of silver with the words "Weight fifty taels" engraved on them, the year name "Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty", and the county name "Yuci". ".

Zhang San counted with his fingers. It was more than a hundred years ago when Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty happened. Wasn't his wife slept with by a ghost?

Looking at the fineness of the silver, the more I look at it, the more I feel that it was buried in the soil. After years of corrosion, it has become dull. It seems that it was actually cast more than a hundred years ago.

Zhang San warned Li Si not to tell anyone about this matter. After all, his wife had been raped by a ghost. If others found out, it would be a disgrace to the eighteen generations of his ancestors.

Li Si said, it’s okay if I don’t tell anyone, but the money must be divided equally!

In order to keep his wife's reputation, Zhang San had to agree.

After they returned to Zhangye, when Li Si asked for the ingot of silver, Zhang San regretted it!

He felt that it was his wife who had suffered so much that she was compensated, and since Li Si went out with them to do things, the money should not be given to Li Si!

Li Si was furious and scolded Zhang San for not keeping his word!

The two only quarreled, but did not talk about the fact that Zhang San's wife was slept with by a ghost. The news leaked out and everyone knew about it.

Zhang San felt that he had lost face, so he went to the county government office to accuse Li Si of spreading rumors and slander. Li Si felt that Zhang San had not given him the money he had promised to give him, so he also went to the county government office to accuse Zhang San of breaking his promise. He embezzled the property that should have belonged to him!

The Zhangye County Magistrate figured out the ins and outs of the case and secretly had an idea in his mind.

He asked Zhang San: "Is what Li Si told you true?"

Zhang San firmly denied it. He said: "Your Excellency, it is clear! There is no such thing! How can a person be slept by a ghost!"

The county magistrate asked again: "Then where did the silver ingots that you and your wife obtained a hundred years ago come from?"

Zhang San argued: "I picked it up. Li Si saw it and insisted on sharing half of it by saying that whoever saw it had a share. I didn't agree, so he came to sue me! What a scoundrel!"

The county magistrate asked: "Then the scar on your wife's arm does look like it was tied with a rope. What's going on?"

Zhang San said evasively: "That's because she was bitten by a mosquito and scratched her skin!"

The county magistrate saw that Zhang San was hesitating and evasive when speaking, and he guessed that what Li Si said might not be false!

After some calculations in his mind, in order to take care of Zhang San's face, he dismissed Zhang San with a smile and said: "If what you said is true, according to the law of the day, the things you pick up must be handed over to the government! But I think your family is poor. I won’t confiscate it and let you take it back!”

Zhang San and his wife left with great gratitude!

Li Si expressed his dissatisfaction and believed that the county master’s judgment was unfair!

The county magistrate scolded: "What are you dissatisfied with? If you told lies and falsely accused Zhang San, then Zhang San's words are true! His money was picked up!"

If you want to say that we saw them together and picked them up together, then fine. I just said that according to the law, if we pick them up together, they will be handed over to the government together, and you will not have any share.

If what you are accusing is true, it means that Zhang San’s wife was insulted by the ghost. What does the compensation that the ghost gave them as husband and wife have to do with you?

If you say any more, I'll slap you with a big stick! "

After saying that, he drove Li Si out!

People’s comments: The Zhangye County Magistrate did not handle this matter according to common sense, which is really the best policy!

The author feels that this story is similar to the wheat-gathering girl in the previous article! One is to seduce women with money, causing them to lose their true feelings and voluntarily lose their virginity; the other is to contaminate women by means of rape, and then use property to compensate them afterwards, which also makes them lose their true feelings and eliminate their anger!

Ridiculous and sad! Ghosts have also learned to figure out people's moods and know how to suit them! The tricks of this man are no different from those of ghosts!
