An old man walked to the well with a bucket in his hand and put it in the well. This well feels different from before. There seems to be something in it. As soon as the water is connected, it has a strange smell, and it slowly approaches the bucket by the light that is not too bright.
Psst, water, it is red, it smells of rust, it is blood! There's a body at the bottom of the well!
The villagers immediately reported to the authorities. The local county magistrate called, Yang county magistrate immediately sent the chief and post mortem examiner. The body was salvaged. It was a man with a shaved head, a blue robe and a knife wound. It was identified that this wound caused his death.
The bald man's body is a monk with a scar on his head. However, he is not wearing a monk's suit, and there are some fine powder like slag on his clothes. At first glance, this dress may not be his.
Let's find out the identity of the monk from the investigation of the surrounding temples. It turns out that this monk's name is Ding Hui. Ding Hui was expelled from the temple a long time ago, because he violated the rules, ate meat and drank alcohol, and had sex with women without proper relationship. But monk Dinghui had been driven away long ago, and the abbot of the temple didn't know his trace.
Whose clothes can this be? County magistrate Yang took people around to investigate and really found something.
There is an old man named Mo near this village. People think he is dishonest. Is a lonely old man who lives by buying tofu. His clothes are just the size of the deceased's clothes, and they are also consistent with the slag powder on the clothes. Mo Laohan was arrested. He's a little confused. He doesn't usually sell tofu. How did he get arrested?
The chieftain found a robe with an ornament in his house. It's strange that an old man can still have such a crown robe without a daughter.
When Mo Laohan heard that it was a matter of life, he quickly explained it in detail. It turned out that a few days ago, someone knocked at his door early in the morning. Mo Laohan opened the door and got a fright. A monk is wearing a bride's wedding dress.
The monk asked Mo if the old man had any money or things for him. Mo Laohan got up early to buy tofu. How can he be rich? In desperation, the monk asked Mo Laohan for clothes.
A monk, wearing a wedding dress, came to change clothes early in the morning. There must be some secret in this.
The official costume of rockhopper reminds Yang county magistrate of a corpse-throwing case a few days ago.
A few days ago, Zhang Million, a local rich man, reported to the official that his daughter who was about to get married suddenly died, but the body was mysteriously missing.
There must be some connection between the two. County magistrate Yang sent Zhang Million to find out about it. County magistrate Yang has been investigating this case for a long time, but the murderer has not been caught yet. As a last resort, Yang county magistrate ordered the chief to interrogate Mo Laohan severely. An old man can't get such an interrogation, so he has to admit that he killed someone.
Maybe it's Mo Laohan's life. Before he could ask, the Yangqu county magistrate was replaced. The new official took office three times, and the new magistrate Li decided to retry the case.
Just then, a man went to court and claimed that Zhang Million's second daughter was not dead.
It turned out that Zhang Million's second daughter had an engagement with this man since she was a child, but later when the man's family came down, Zhang Million decided to break off the engagement and marry her daughter to the son of another rich man. But the second daughter is a kind-hearted person and insists on marrying this man. So I eloped with him a few days before I got married.
The man also said that he knew who killed monk Ding Hui. It turned out that he met a butcher named Wu. After he got drunk, he told him something. Butcher Wu came home that day and found a monk trying to flirt with his wife. In a rage, I stabbed him. Who would have thought that the monk was dead? He can only say that the monk was thrown into that well.
Hearing this, the new magistrate felt that Zhang Million had not told the truth before, so he called Zhang Million and asked him again. Zhang Million can only tell the truth in detail when he sees this person in court.
It turned out that Zhang Million didn't agree that his second daughter was with this man, and her second daughter eloped with him in a rage. Zhang Wan went to his eldest daughter to discuss how to deal with the aftermath. At the eldest daughter's house, the eldest daughter spoke hesitantly, her eyes were erratic, and she kept looking at the wardrobe.
When I opened it, there was a monk inside. It was stuffy. It turned out that this Dinghui monk was having an affair with his eldest daughter, and his father happened to meet him. In desperation, the monk hid his wedding clothes in the cupboard, but he was suffocated.
Zhang Million thought about it and said that his little daughter died suddenly and let the monk's body take her place. But I didn't know that the monk was not dead, just in a coma for a while. So the monk in the wedding dress ran away.
On the way, he changed his clothes for Mo Laohan and begged for charity from the wife of Butcher Wu. But when he saw the color, he met Butcher Wu and came back, so Butcher Wu killed monk Dinghui by mistake.
In the end, Mo Laohan was acquitted, Zhang Million got 50% off for lying about the case, and Wu, the butcher, got 100% for manslaughter.
Such a coincidence case was solved. Although no one knows whether this is true or not, Mo Laohan is undoubtedly lucky.
