At first, people found the body of a monk by the well in Taiyuan County. The monk is wearing the clothes of Mo Laohan's family in the tofu shop.
The government found Mo Laohan along the clothes and directly convicted Mo Laohan and put him in prison!
Why do monks wear Mo Laohan's clothes? Did Mo Laohan kill this monk?
It was not until the appearance of Cao Huangwen that Mo Laohan's innocence was proved.
There is a local Zhang family with two women. The youngest daughter, Yuzhu, is to be arranged by her father to marry the local rich Yao family.
But Yuzhu likes Cao, so they decided to elope.
On the way to escape, I met Mo Laohan and borrowed Mo Laohan's donkey.
Later, when Cao came back to return the donkey, he heard about it and quickly avenged Mo Laohan.
The former eldest daughter of the Zhang family had an affair with the monk. Because she hid in the box for too long, she was suppressed by the monk and fainted.
Zhang thought the monk was dead. So I put on my little daughter Yuzhu's bridal gown and carried the body out.
In fact, the monk didn't die, but he woke up later. After waking up, he ran to Mo Laohan's tofu shop, put on Mo Laohan's clothes and ran away.
He molested butcher Wu's wife while running and was found out!
In a rage, the butcher Wu killed the monk and threw him into the well, but at this time the monk was still wearing Mo Laohan's clothes.
So everything said at the beginning happened. Everyone thought that Mo Laohan killed someone and threw him into the well.
When Cao came back to return the donkey, he heard the drunken butcher Wu tell him that he had killed the monk.
Besides, after Yuzhu and Cao escaped, they took refuge in Chen. It happened that at this time, he was promoted to Shanxi Provincial Supervision Department, and Cao explained the cause and effect of this matter to Chen.
Chen decided to retry the case urgently, and then according to Cao's confession, he called all the people and interrogated them one by one. Finally, this matter was solved perfectly, and the good man Mo Laohan was able to get revenge.
This case is also called one of the four unsolved cases in the late Qing Dynasty by coincidence.
