Chapter 161 City God’s Alcoholism
Chapter 161 City God’s Alcoholism
A long time ago, there was a scholar named Shen Fengyu in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, who served as an aide in the Yamen of Wukang County (now Deqing County, Zhejiang Province).
Once, the boss sent an official document requesting the arrest of a criminal thief named Shen Yufeng.
Coincidentally, this name is just in a different order than Shen Fengyu's, so it is easy for people to misunderstand.
One of his colleagues, Yuan, wanted to joke with Shen Fengyu, so he used a red pen to change "Shen Yufeng" on the official document to "Shen Fengyu" and said to him: "Now there are this official document everywhere, and they are all in We’re arresting you!”
Shen Fengyu was very angry, grabbed the official document and said, "How could you make such a joke!"
Without saying a word, he burned the official documents.
In his desperation, he forgot one thing, that is, official documents and pleadings, once burned, would often be received by the local city god.
That night, as soon as Shen Fengyu hit the pillow and fell asleep, he dreamed that a ghost rushed into the room, locked him up with an iron chain, and took him to the City God's Temple.
I saw the City God sitting above. After seeing Shen Fengyu, he shouted loudly: "You are a murderous thief, you are so abominable!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he ordered the officers on the left and right to execute Shen Fengyu.
Shen Fengyu hurriedly defended and said: "The master made a mistake! Xiaosheng is a scholar in Hangzhou City, not a thief at all!"
The City God was furious and scolded: "According to the usual practice of the Yin Division: as long as there is an official document coming from the world of the world, we, the Yin Division, will work together to arrest the person. Now there is an official document here in Wukang County, and you are going to arrest anyone named by name. Thief, are you still trying to forcefully deny me?"
Shen Fengyu said: "Great God Mingjian! I am really unjust! My name is Shen Fengyu, and the name of the thief to be arrested is Shen Yufeng. This is because my colleague Yuan was joking with me and deliberately spelled my name wrongly. .”
The city god didn't listen to the explanation at all, and ordered people to torture Shen Fengyu with a big wooden board.
When Shen Fengyu was beaten, she cried out in pain and injustice.
The ghost soldiers on the left and right quietly said to him: "The City God and his wife were drinking and drunk. It's useless what you say now. The only way is to go to another Yamen to redress your grievances."
Shen Fengyu looked up and saw the City God squinting his eyes and his face flushed, knowing that he was drunk.
I knew there was nothing I could do to change, so I could only endure the pain and endure the punishment.
After the execution, the city god ordered the ghost messengers to take Shen Fengyu somewhere and put him in prison.
When passing the Guandi Temple on the way, Shen Fengyu shouted injustice.
Emperor Guan Sheng called him into the temple and asked him face to face why he was complaining.
Shen Fengyu described the whole story in detail.
After listening to his statement, Emperor Guan Sheng took out the yellow paper and wrote the official document on it with a red pen.
Emperor Guan Sheng said to Shen Fengyu: "Looking at your conversation, you are indeed a scholar. How can the City God be drunk and torture at will? He should be punished.
And how could Yuan, who had been a staff member for a long time, make a joke with human life? His life span should be shortened.
A magistrate in Wukang County was guilty of negligence and should be punished accordingly. If he goes out on official business, he will be fined three months' salary.
Shen Xiucai was tortured by the underworld with a stick. His internal organs were injured and he was seriously injured. He could not be resurrected. He could be sent to a certain family in Shanxi to be his son. When he was twenty years old in the next life, he would be allowed to pass the Jinshi examination to compensate for the injustices in this life. "
After the verdict, the ghost guards were very frightened, kowtowed and dispersed.
Shen Fengyu woke up from her dream and felt unbearable pain in her abdomen. She knew that it was because she was scolded by the City God.
He called his colleagues and told them all about the dream.
Sure enough, three days later, Shen Fengyu died of his injuries.
When Yuan heard about it, he was shocked. He hurriedly resigned and returned home, but soon after he vomited blood and died.
The statue in the City God's Temple also collapsed for no reason.
The county magistrate was fined three months' salary for casually agreeing to Yima's affairs.
All of Shen Fengyu’s dreams came true!
