Chapter 111 Yin Captou fell into a trap
During the Qing Dynasty, there was a head catcher named Yin Qian in Jurong County, Zhenjiang, Jiangnan Prefecture (now Jurong City, Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province). This man was famous far and wide for being good at catching thieves.
Every night, Chief Yin would hide in a dark and secluded place and observe the pedestrians. If he found that they were acting suspiciously, he would immediately arrest them.
One night, Capt. Yin got the news and went to a village to catch a thief.
While he was on the road, he met a man running forward recklessly with a rope in his hand.
The man accidentally bumped into Yin Captou's back. But he did not apologize to Yin Captou, but continued to run forward.
Yin Captou thought: This person must be a thief in such a hurry.
So, he followed the man quietly.
After a while, I came to a house. I saw that the man was indeed up to something evil. He didn't knock on the door to call for help, but climbed over the wall and got in.
Capt. Yin thought to himself: If he were to be arrested now, it would be better to wait. To catch him now is just to hand him over to the government. This is my duty and there may not be any reward. If I wait to rob him again after he succeeds, I will definitely get the property he stole!
Not long after waiting, Capt. Yin faintly heard the cry of a woman inside.
He couldn't help but have doubts in his heart. Could it be that this man was not a robber seeking wealth, but a flower-picking thief who came to rob women?
So, he also climbed over the wall and came inside.
He saw a room with lights on, so he walked over, pierced the window paper with his hand and looked inside.
I saw a woman inside, sitting in front of the dressing table and dressing up in front of the mirror. There was an unkempt man on the rafter, tying a rope over the woman's head.
Yin Captou immediately understood that this person was the one who bumped into him on the road. It turns out that this is not a thief, but a hanged man. He came in a hurry to find a scapegoat.
As soon as Capt. Yin saw that the hanged man was about to succeed, he shouted in a hurry and broke in through the window before he could walk in through the door.
At this time, the nearby neighbors heard the noise and woke up. They got up and rushed over to ask what happened.
Capt. Yin told them what happened.
Everyone saw that the woman had been hung from the beam. He hurried forward, put her down and revived her.
The woman's father-in-law and mother-in-law also came over. When they saw that Yin Captou had saved their daughter-in-law, they were very grateful to him. And arranged food and wine to entertain him.
After the banquet was over, Yin Baotou returned to the county government office via the original route.
It was still dark at this time.
Capt. Yin was walking on the road when he suddenly heard a strange noise coming from behind.
When he looked back, he saw that the hanging man with the rope was chasing him.
The ghost hated Capt. Yin for ruining his good deeds. When the enemy met, he was extremely jealous and cursed at Capt. Yin: "I went to find that woman to replace me, and I didn't want to harm you. I have nothing to do with you." What’s the matter, but you came to break my spell!”
The ghost kept cursing and rushed forward, waving his hands to hit Yin Cat's head.
Yin Baotou is strong, has superb martial arts skills, and has always been courageous.
When he saw the ghost charging towards him, he was not afraid at all and started fighting the ghost with his fists.
What made him feel strange was that he felt that the place where his fist hit felt cold, and every time he hit a punch, a fishy smell would come out.
One person and one ghost fought for more than a hundred rounds. As the sky gradually became brighter, the strength of the hanging ghost gradually decreased, while Yin Captou became more and more courageous as he fought, and finally hugged the ghost and refused to let go.
At this time, someone was passing by on the road and saw Yin Baotou holding a piece of rotten wood and yelling curses.
Passers-by were very surprised and thought they had seen it wrong. They hurriedly stepped forward and took a closer look. It was indeed Yin Captou holding the dead wood.
Passers-by laughed at Yin Captou whether he was possessed by evil spirits.
It was as if Capt. Yin woke up from a dream, and the rotten wood he was holding fell to the ground.
Yin Captou said angrily: "What do you know? How could I be possessed by evil spirits? I just caught a hanged man!"
Passers-by didn't believe him and asked him where the ghost was.
Yin Captou said: "This abominable hanged man must be attached to this piece of wood. I must not throw away this piece of wood."
After saying that, he didn't care what passers-by said, but stubbornly took the wood home.
After returning, he nailed the wood to the pillar in the yard.
Sure enough, his judgment was correct, the ghost was attached to the wood. Because since he nailed the wood to the pillar, he could hear the ghost crying out of pain every night.
A few days later at night, Capt. Yin heard a noise in the yard. It seemed like many other ghosts were coming to talk to the pinned ghost.
Some ghosts were comforting him, and some ghosts saw Yin Captou and came to intercede for him. The ghost's voice sounded like a child's.
But Yin Captou ignored it.
At this time, one of the ghosts comforted the hanged ghost and said, "Fortunately, this man nailed you with nails. If he had tied you with ropes, you would have suffered more than this!"
The other ghosts all said reproachfully: "You can't say it, you can't say it! Walls have ears! If it leaks out and Yin Captou learns from it, he will find new ways to torture you!"
The next day, Capt. Yin found a rope to replace the nails according to the method he heard the night before.
Unexpectedly, at night, I no longer heard the crying of ghosts!
The next morning, Capt. Yin went to see what was going on, and the rotten wood was gone!
Yin Captou couldn't help laughing: I fell into a trap! These ghosts have learned the art of war and can actually use strategies!
