Chapter 128 Mistaking Wu Song
Chapter 128 Mistaking Wu Song
Once upon a time, in the city of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, there was a family named Ma, and the owner's name was Ma Guanlan.
Their family attaches great importance to etiquette and observes festivals. Every four o'clock and eight festivals, they will sacrifice to their own door god.
Someone asked Na Ma Guanlan: "According to ancient rituals, sacrificing the door god is one of the five sacrifices (the five sacrifices refer to the five gods worshiped during ancient sacrifices, including the household god, the kitchen god, the earth god, the door god and the walking god). This It is a ritual practiced by people in ancient times. Nowadays, no one has practiced this ritual for a long time, but your family is the only one who still practices it. Why is this?"
Ma Guanlan did not hide anything and told the reasons.
It turned out that the Ma family had a servant named Chen Gongzuo. This person likes to drink. I have to go out drinking every night, and I have to come back drunk.
When he came back, it was often very late and the concierge had already closed the door.
Therefore, he always had to knock on the door to enter the yard.
Every night, Chen Gongzuo made a lot of noise, which affected the rest of the Ma family. Ma Guanlan had a strong opinion of him and was always looking for opportunities to scold him.
One night, Ma Guanlan had gone to bed and suddenly heard a noise outside the yard. He knew that it was Chen Gongzuo who was drunk and causing trouble again.
Ma Guanlan suddenly became angry. He immediately got up and went outside to check, hoping to take the opportunity to teach Chen Gongzuo a lesson so that he would never dare to do this again.
When I got there, I saw that Chen Gongzuo had fallen to the ground.
Before Ma Guanlan could get angry, Chen Gongzuo immediately said to him: "Master, listen to me: this slave is not drunk today! When the slave just came back, he met a man and a woman outside the door. Neither of them had anything on their shoulders. head, but hold the head in your own hands.
The woman shouted: 'I am your sister-in-law! Although I did commit adultery, my husband could kill me! But you are my brother-in-law, you shouldn't kill me!
When my husband wanted to kill me, his heart was soft and his hands were shaking and he couldn't do it. You actually grabbed the knife and killed me for him. Is this something that your brother-in-law can do?
Every time I wanted to seek revenge from you, your master's door god scolded me and blocked me from the door.
So, I will wait for you outside the door today! Hard work pays off, where else can you hide this time! ’
After she finished speaking, the woman cursed and spit in my face. The male ghost next to me threw his head over to hit me!
I was so frightened that I couldn't stand still and fell to the ground.
Just then, I heard someone talking at the door, and the two ghosts left. "
Ma Guanlan ordered other servants of the Ma family to come forward and help Chen Gongzuo to the bed.
Chen Gongzuo's mood finally calmed down. He told everyone that he had indeed done such a thing when he was a teenager. At that time, he discovered his sister-in-law's adultery and told his brother.
Although the brother hated his wife's infidelity, he was too soft-hearted to kill her.
At that time, Chen Gongzuo had read the novel "Water Margin" and admired Wu Song's character, so he snatched the knife from his brother and killed his sister-in-law.
I never thought that I would get into trouble and suffer such injustice.
At this time, someone next to him said: "None of what is written in the novel is true. How can you just learn it casually? Besides, Wu Song killed his sister-in-law because his sister-in-law killed his brother! If it was just an ordinary adultery, according to the king's law It's just a rod punishment! How can you take it upon yourself to kill your sister-in-law on behalf of your brother?"
Before the man finished speaking, he saw Chen Gongzuo staring with his eyes wide open and a woman's voice coming out of his mouth, saying: "I'll just say it! Justice is in the heart! How about it? How about it? What else do you have to say?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he got out of bed, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the person who had spoken before, and then fell down and died.
And because the ghosts said that the door god could ward off evil spirits, the Ma family became more respectful in offering sacrifices to the door god, and this continued from generation to generation!
