Fly fortune telling _ What does the fly predict?

Since ancient times, criminals often try their best to escape punishment, which makes the government's investigation extremely difficult. At the same time, these mysterious cases also show another feature, that is, in the process of solving the case, they often reflect the powerful power of ghosts and gods, thus casting a mysterious color on the whole case, which is related to the superstition widely circulated in ancient times, as follows.

Ni, a scholar, once served as the magistrate of Qianshan County, Anhui Province. Because of his justice, honesty and law enforcement, he is called? Ni Qingtian? . Once, Ni visited the city and saw a new grave in the local countryside. The grave was covered with flies. He became suspicious at once, so he went to ask the local land keeper and learned that the grave was buried by a young man. He died of illness soon after he got married.

In the year when medical conditions were relatively backward, it was not uncommon to die of illness, but Ni, who had always been cautious, decided to visit the deceased's home. After arriving at the home of the deceased, Ni found that the widow who had recently lost her husband was in mourning, which was very sad, but there was a little panic on her face, plus the widow? Demonic attitude? Ni Tingmo became suspicious and immediately ordered an autopsy.

Although the ancients were extremely taboo about opening coffins after death, the magistrate ordered that no one dare to stop them. However, after the coffin was dug out and opened for inspection, it was found that the deceased was not only injured, but also not poisoned. From a physical point of view, skinny looks a bit like a serious illness.

Although the autopsy found no abnormality, Nimoting was still not at ease and continued to order people to visit everywhere. After several days' visit, no doubt was found. After all, the young man's family was fairly well-off, but unfortunately his parents died one after another. In recent years, the young man has been ill in bed all the year round, and his relatives have arranged this marriage for him. On the one hand, it is convenient for the woman to take care of him nearby, on the other hand, they hope to pass? Rush to Xi? , make his condition better, but don't want to just get married soon, then died.

This woman is very disgusted with the anatomy of the coffin. Now that she saw that she had checked it correctly, the magistrate of a county still didn't let herself go, so she went to the door and asked Ni Tingmo with an expression, saying, What should the magistrate of a county do if he opens a tomb and opens a coffin for someone on trumped-up charges? ?

In the face of criticism, Connie Mo Ting was not angry at all. On the contrary, he said kindly, you are right. I have written to the magistrate to admit my crime. Please remove the county magistrate from the post of magistrate. ? The woman listened, and then left angrily.

On the one hand, connie Mo Ting sent the woman away; on the other hand, she wrote to the judge, hoping to give her a three-month grace period. If she still can't solve the case within three months, she will be fired again. The judge also knows that Mo Ting is not a reckless person. Since he dared to make such a guarantee, there must be something wrong with the case, so he readily agreed.

One day, Ni rested at night and dreamed that the man of God gave himself a pot of evergreen. When he woke up the next day, he recalled what he had heard in his dream and knew that it was God's will, so he disguised himself as a fortune teller and went to visit people everywhere.

On this day, Ni met an old man who was fishing when he was playing by a nearby lake. Although he is over sixty years old, he is still hale and hearty, so he is called? Wan Rong? . When Nimoting heard the name, he thought it was not what he saw in his dream, so he stepped forward to speak.

After some conversation, they hit it off very well. Seeing that it was getting late, the old man invited Ni to live at his house in the evening, and Ni naturally agreed.

In the evening, when Ni talked with the old man, he deliberately led the topic to the deceased. Nobody knows. Wan Rong? He giggled and said. That young man really didn't die of illness. As for how he died, I'm afraid no one knows, not even the magistrate of a county. .

Ni listened, asked carefully, and the old man didn't deliberately hide it, so he told the whole story. It turned out that although the old man made a living by fishing during the day, he was a burglar at night. One day, the old man happened to steal from the young man's house, but he saw the young man's wife and another man outside the window, tying the young man who had been ill in bed for a long time to the bed. The man burned the tail of a small snake in a bamboo tube with incense. The small snake jumped up in pain and ran into the boy's anus along the bamboo tube. With a scream, the young man died immediately.

Ni Mo Ting was surprised to learn the whole story, thinking that if there is no such means? Wan Rong? Tell me how you know.

The next day, after Ni returned to the county government, he immediately issued a notice? Wan Rong? When he was arrested, he was ordered to report his widow in exchange for not being investigated for theft in the future. ? Wan Rong? He was caught by the magistrate of a county and naturally agreed. Now that he has a plaintiff, Nimoting opens the coffin again for autopsy.

It was dog days, and the body was turned over after the last inspection. At this time, it has begun to rot. After careful examination, a dead snake was found in the abdomen of the corpse. Wan Rong? It can be seen that it is a fact that a woman conspires with others to murder her husband. So Mo Ting immediately sent someone to arrest the widow.

The widow thought that outsiders must not know what happened in the house in the middle of the night, so after arriving at the case, she still denied it in every way, so Nimoting let her go? Wan Rong? The woman didn't testify in court, so she was speechless and had to tell the truth.

It turned out that this woman had committed adultery with her cousin long before she got married. After she got married, she saw that her husband was seriously ill in bed all day, so she discussed with her cousin to kill him with such a poisonous trick. It is expected that the neighbors of young people will be ill in bed for a long time, and their sudden death will not arouse suspicion. Coupled with the secrecy of this matter, they can not only stay together, but also take this rich property by the way, but they don't want to be stolen at night? Wan Rong? Hit it.

Do you know that in ancient times, murdering your husband was a crime? Evil? Yes, what is the crime? A heinous crime? Felony was prescribed before the Ming Dynasty? From head to toe? In Ming and Qing dynasties, it was aggravated to be executed in the middle of the year. So, Connie Mo Ting, who discovered the truth? Evil? The law intends to sentence the woman to death in the middle of the year, and her adultery cousin has also been sentenced. The case file will be submitted and will be pronounced only after the court hears it.

After solving these strange cases, Ni immediately became famous and the case was widely circulated. It was not only adapted into a drama and sung everywhere, but also included in scholars' notes by later generations. For example, the case was included in the History of Immortals written by Xu Fengen in Qing Dynasty.
