The husband was suspected of being killed, and the county magistrate beheaded his wife. The next year, why did the murdered husband go home?

During the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, at the foot of Xianyou Mountain in Fujian, there lived a man named Wang Wenjun.

At this time, Wang Wenjun, who was in his thirties, became the richest man in the local area because he inherited the legacy left by his father, with 100 acres of real estate and numerous houses.

Wang Wenjun not only comes from a wealthy family, but also knows how to run a business. He donated a place in imperial academy with his family's money, so the locals called him "Wang Jiansheng".

As the richest man in the area, Wang Wenjun is still not satisfied, although he has three wives and four concubines at home. No, he took a fancy to a tenant's wife, Hou Laosan.

Wang Jiansheng was having an affair with someone else's wife.

Tenant Hou Laosan is a good man who keeps house diligently, but his looks really don't deserve his wife. Hou Laosan is not tall, with dark skin and an old face. Compared with his beautiful wife, his wife Huang is simply a flower inserted in cow dung.

Such a beautiful wife became the prey of Wang Wenjun Wang Jian Guo-zi-jian diploma, but Hou Laosan was always at home, so he couldn't find a chance to do it.

As it happens, due to the crop failure this year, farmers' lives are very tight. At this time, Wang Wenjun came to Hou Laosan's house with food and pretended to care about the villagers. In fact, he took this opportunity to meet Hou Laosan's wife.

After a long time, they really got acquainted. Huang, the wife of Hou Laosan, also hates her husband's appearance, and she gradually likes it.

One night, Hou Laosan went to the county to visit his mother and left home. Huang sent a text message, so they had an affair at Hou Laosan's house that night.

Later, the two met regularly, but the private meeting was not long, which brought trouble, so they discussed with Huang and spent the money on Hou Laosan, preferably for two or three years.

Get rid of Hou Laosan by clever means.

When he entered the county seat, he found Cao touts as the county magistrate's main book to help him, but Cao touts told him that the new county magistrate Song Jishi was conscientious, honest and honest, and would not accept any bribes, so his request might not be realized.

Wang Wenjun was disappointed for a while, but soon, he came up with a solution. He only asked Mr. Cao to help him find a reliable fortune teller.

Wang Wenjun took the fortune teller he found to the village, made him a VIP at home, and gave him many servants to serve him. Some fortune tellers in the village will go to Wang Wenjun's house to find a fortune teller. After that, everyone thought the fortune teller was very accurate.

Gradually, the fortune teller's reputation spread in the village. One day, Wang Wenjun took a fortune teller to Hou Laosan's house, saying that he would help Hou Laosan to tell his fortune for free. Hou Laosan believed the fortune teller because of the villagers' evaluation of him.

The fortune teller calculated Hou Laosan and said that there would be a fire in Hou Laosan this year. The only way is to go to Sichuan, the hometown of water, to avoid disaster.

After hearing this, Hou Laosan immediately discussed with his wife Huang. Huang went, of course, to better mix with others and persuade him to go to Sichuan in a hurry.

Say that finish, Hou Lao immediately packed up and left home. After Hou Laosan left, Huang became more unscrupulous, and the villagers pointed at their behavior.

Hou Laosan was suspected of being killed, and the county magistrate beheaded his wife.

After leaving home, Hou Laosan never came home again, which inevitably aroused the suspicion of the villagers. Just a few days later, some villagers came to report that a rotting body had been found in the dry well.

However, the rotting corpse can't see its original face clearly, but because Hou Laosan hasn't come back from home for a long time, in the hearts of the villagers, this rotting corpse is Hou Laosan.

Therefore, Hou Laosan's brother has been complaining and reported Huang and his sister-in-law to the government.

After hearing the cause and effect, Song Jishi, the county magistrate, also thought that Huang had killed Hou Laosan, so he was tortured and finally admitted that they had done it.

So they were sentenced to beheading.

Song Jishi, the county magistrate, also won a good reputation in the hearts of villagers because of this case. Later, the local people made this story into a drama called "Top Stealing Incense".

Hou Lao returned and sued the county magistrate.

In the second year, Hou Laosan, who had disappeared for a long time, suddenly came back. After learning this, although he was angry about his wife's affair with Wang Wenjun, the accusation of murdering them was indeed false.

Hou Laosan was dissatisfied with the magistrate's decision to sentence his wife to death, so he sued the magistrate to the provincial prison with a complaint.

The provincial prison sent someone to investigate and the truth came out. Song Jishi, the county magistrate, was dismissed from office and exiled for ignoring human life, and Hou Laosan also got several houses from Wang Wenjun's family as compensation.
