Collection of strange powers and chaotic gods

Chapter 158 Putian Unjust Case

A long time ago, there was a prison student named Wang in Putian, Fujian Province (a student who was qualified to study in the Imperial College). He was always unreasonable, plundering, and living in a fish and meat village?

He wanted to turn his family's field into a square one, but all he needed was a piece of land. That piece of land belongs to my neighbor, Mrs. Zhang, and it is a total of five acres of farmland.

If Wang Jiansheng was a particular person, he would go to Mrs. Zhang and buy the five acres of land.

But he didn't want to do this, but wanted to keep it for himself without spending any money.

So, he found someone to forge a false land deed, and then bribed the county magistrate XX to award the five acres of land to himself.

Mrs. Zhang was weak and had no choice but to give the land to Wang Jiansheng.

However, his own land was taken away by bullies, so he naturally felt very uncomfortable, so he went to Wang Jiansheng's house every day to curse and vent his anger.

After all, Wang Jiansheng had something in his heart at the beginning. Old Mrs. Zhang came to scold him, so she held it back.

But she couldn't stand it. Mrs. Zhang came every day and scolded her for most of the day.

Wang Jiansheng couldn't bear the disturbance and became angry.

So, he paid his neighbors to beat Mrs. Zhang to death, and then specifically notified Mrs. Zhang's son to collect his mother's body.

Mrs. Zhang’s son was very surprised. His mother had always been well, so how could she suddenly die?

After receiving the news, I hurried over to take a look.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived there, Wang Jiansheng had someone tie him up.

Just when Mrs. Zhang's son didn't know what was going on, he heard Wang Jiansheng yelling that he had caught the murderer and slandered him for killing his mother.

Wang Jiansheng commanded the real murderers and escorted Mrs. Zhang's son to the government.

Those people unanimously testified that Mrs. Zhang’s son had killed his mother.

When the son refused to admit it, the county magistrate ordered him to be tortured. The son couldn't bear the torture, so he had no choice but to surrender and admit that he was the murderer.

In this way, with both witnesses and the son's own confession, the county magistrate turned the case into a solid case, and the son was sentenced to death in Lingchi. Just waiting for the court's review, it will be implemented as soon as the time comes.

After Su Chang, the governor of Fujian, heard about this case, he couldn't help but have questions.

He believes that even if a son is unfilial and beats his mother, he should do it in his own home, not in the fields in public and in full view of everyone.

Moreover, Mrs. Zhang’s son was covered with bruises. He was the murderer who beat his mother. How could he do this to himself?

Therefore, Governor Wu sent a letter to the two prefects of Fuzhou and Quanzhou, asking them to meet together in the Chenghuang Temple in the provincial capital for a final review.

Although the two prefects had their own prejudices, they still felt that the evidence was conclusive and that Mrs. Zhang's son was the murderer, so they upheld the original verdict.

The son was ordered to be kidnapped to the execution ground. When he was about to leave the temple, he shouted to the statue of the City God: "Master City God, Master City God! My family has suffered a great injustice. Why don't you open your eyes and see?" Why haven't all the gods fulfilled their wishes? How can such a god have the dignity to enjoy the blood and food offerings of the human world?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the west wing of the City God's Temple suddenly collapsed.

Everyone in the temple thought that the Temple of the City God was in disrepair and the pillars were rotten, so it collapsed, so they didn't take it too seriously.

Just as the officials were about to drag the son out of the temple, they saw two clay statue guards in the temple suddenly moved forward, crossing the two sticks in their hands, blocking the way and preventing them from passing.

The people watching nearby became agitated, and the two prefects were also very surprised.

After they reopened the case, they finally understood that it was indeed their son who had suffered an unjust injustice.

So Wang Jiansheng and the neighbors who beat him were all arrested and dealt with according to law, clearing the grievances of Mrs. Zhang's son.

Since then, the incense in this City God's Temple has become more prosperous than before!
