The case is that during Daoguang period in the late Qing Dynasty, there was a richest man in Taiyuan, Zhang Million. He and his wife gave birth to two daughters, and when the second daughter was a child, they established a young marriage relationship with Cao Jian. However, after time delay, Cao's family declined.
Seeing that Zhang Million could not benefit from it, he betrothed his second daughter to another rich man in Chengcheng at that time, surnamed Yao. However, Zhang Wannian's second daughter agreed with Cao, and after knowing her father's thoughts, it provided convenience for Cao to elope.
They are going to take refuge in another county's good friend Chen. On the way, they passed a tofu shop. The owner of the tofu shop sympathized with them and lent them his donkey.
At this time, Zhang Million found that the second daughter was missing, thinking that the second daughter had gone to the eldest daughter's residence, so she went to look for it. Zhang Million guessed that the second daughter was hidden in the wardrobe of the eldest daughter's residence and took it away.
As a result, when I opened it, there was a monk hiding in the closet. Zhang Million looked at the monk in the closet and thought that the monk was dead. In fact, the monk fainted, so he changed his second daughter's clothes and said that her second daughter had died of illness. Then send the monk to the mourning hall.
Later, the monk woke up and ran away. So this monk is a flower monk. Later, because the monk molested a married woman, the woman's husband killed the monk and threw the body in the well.
Zhang million mourning hall, coupled with the murder case of the monk being abandoned in the corpse well, made the whole city panic. Then, in order to close the case early, the county magistrate took Mo Laohan as the murderer and made a confession. There is also a reason to regard Mo Laohan as the murderer, because the monk's clothes were found in the tofu shop.
Later, Cao Huangwen returned to Taiyuan. When he knew this, he went to avenge Mo Laohan. However, the county magistrate framed Cao as an accomplice instead, and Yuzhu's maid went back to find Yuzhu after learning about it. It happened that Yuzhu took refuge in Shanxi Province, and finally the truth of the case came out.
