Collection of strange powers and chaotic gods

It is said that once upon a time, Wang Wenbin, a clerk (equivalent to the current secretary) of the Chief Secretary of Jiangsu (the highest authority in the province), was sleeping in his study during the day when he suddenly heard a rustling sound, as if someone was speaking. The sound of clothing rubbing against your body when walking around.

He got up and went over to check, and saw a police officer there.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Wenbin suddenly felt dizzy and followed the guard involuntarily.

I don’t know how long they walked or how many miles they walked, but they came to a strange place.

I saw a solemn and quiet palace standing in front of me. There were two officials sitting in the middle of the lobby: one was an old man with a white beard, sitting in the upper position; the other was a middle-aged man with a pockmarked face and a black beard. , sitting aside.

Under the stairs in the lobby, there is a smoke cage woven with gold wire, which contains a monster, as strong as a pig, with a sharp mouth and green hair all over its body.

The officer took Wang Wenbin into the lobby and knelt down in front of the two officials.

When the monster saw Wang Wenbin coming, it jumped up with its mouth open and teeth bared, trying to pounce on him and bite him.

Wang Wenbin was startled and quickly moved his body to the left while kneeling.

But on the left was a skinny, ragged man who looked like a beggar. His eyes were wide open and he stared blankly at Wang Wenbin.

At this time, the white-bearded official in the hall called Wang Wenbin to kneel closer and asked him: "Do you still remember the fifty-three taels of silver?"

Wang Wenbin felt baffled and confused by this nonsense question.

The middle-aged official next to him smiled and explained: "My lord is talking about the longship price change case, which happened in your previous life."

Only then did Wang Wenbin suddenly wake up. He remembered the old case.

It was a case related to shipping in the previous Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty had already ordered a halt to shipping, and all the hundreds of ships at sea were confiscated by the government with extra money.

In Wang Wenbin's previous life, he was also a clerk at the Chief Secretary of Jiangsu, specifically responsible for this case.

At that time, some transporters (people who carried grain from the canal) had reached the deadline but did not have enough money in their hands, so they often collected some money and bribed Wang Wenbin, hoping to be lenient.

However, they could not see Wang Wenbin directly and could only pay bribes through an intermediary.

Their bribes were often misappropriated by middlemen and never reached Wang Wenbin, so the case naturally could not be closed.

The ragged man kneeling next to him was Yunding, who was hanged for overdue work.

After his death, he went to the underworld to accuse Wang Wenbin, saying that he had received fifty-three taels of silver from him but showed no mercy to him, and eventually hanged him.

Wang Wenbin remembered what happened in his previous life and immediately began to confront him. He argued that he didn't know anything about it and had never received any money.

After some verification, the two officials believed him.

So, the white-bearded official nodded and said: "The wrongdoer has his fault, and the debtor has his owner. This matter really has nothing to do with you. We should arrest and punish the middleman who embezzled money. You can go back."

After saying this, he ordered the guards to take him back.

Wang Wenbin walked out of the palace and saw that the road outside was filled with yellow sand, dense clouds, blocking the sky and the sun, and it was lifeless.

He knew that this was the underworld under the Nine Springs.

So, he curiously asked the guard: "The beggar who stared at me just now, I knew he was an unjust ghost. But the one in the cage looked like a pig but not a pig, and wanted to pounce on me and bite me. What is it?"

The officer said: "This beast is called a Bo'erxiang, not a pig. This kind of animal is kept in the underworld to punish criminals. In those cases, after interrogation and investigation, it is determined that the person is a serious sinner, and he is given to it to be eaten. . This is the same as feeding bad people to jackals, tigers and leopards in the underworld!"

Wang Wenbin was extremely frightened. Fortunately, in his previous life, he did not receive the fifty-three taels of silver. Otherwise, the soul will be swallowed up by the wave of elephants, and there will be no reincarnation!

After a while, the two came to a large river. Wang Wenbin was accidentally pushed into the water by the guard. He screamed in panic and woke up.

He opened his eyes and found that he was still lying on the bed in the study. But my wife was crying and heartbroken by the bedside.

When Wang Wenbin's wife saw that he suddenly woke up, she couldn't help but burst into tears and laughed, sobbing and saying, "Ms. sir, what's wrong with you? You've been sleeping for three days and three nights. I thought you would never wake up again!"

Wang Wenbin didn't want his wife to worry, so he didn't tell her what happened in the dream. He simply explained that it was nothing, maybe he was overtired, so he slept a little longer.

From then on, Wang Wenbin became more strict with himself and did not dare to be greedy. During his time as an official, he won the hearts of the people!
