Yang Naiwu was born in Daoguang in February1year. He is a squire in Yuhang County, Zhejiang Province. He is usually nosy and likes to fight against injustice. To this end, he also contradicted the government, which also laid a hidden danger for his future imprisonment. 12 years, Yang Naiwu was admitted as a juren. Bi Xiugu, also known as Ge, is nicknamed Chinese cabbage because of her handsome appearance and love to wear white clothes and green pants. She married Ge Pinlian, and they rented a house in Yang Naiwu. Because * * * lives in a big family, Yang Naiwu and Chinese cabbage are very close. Yang Naiwu often teaches Chinese cabbage to read, and also teaches her to read classics. Because of this incident, there was gossip among the neighbors. At that time, there was a gossip in the neighborhood that "sheep (Yang) ate cabbage".

Tongzhi 12 10, Yang Naiwu went to work at Yuyao's mother-in-law's house and didn't come back for several days. 10 On June 9th, Ge Pinlian, the helper of the tofu shop, that is, the husband of Chinese cabbage, suddenly fell ill in the morning. At first, he thought it was filariasis, or he got angry. Later, taking medicine didn't work, and the condition got worse. Everyone thought it was filariasis. Until that afternoon's application, that is, our appearance from three o'clock to five o'clock this afternoon, Ge Pinlian was beaten black and blue, died of a serious illness, and a good young man suddenly died of a sudden illness, which was incomprehensible to his family and neighbors, thus linking Yang Naiwu with Chinese cabbage in peacetime. At this time, Ge Pinlian's old mother reported the case to Yuhang county government, and Liu Xitong, the magistrate of Yuhang county, led the coroner to go after receiving the report. That is to say, the forensic doctor Shen Xiang came to Ge's house to see the dead, that is, Ge Pinlian, and Shen Xiang took out a silver needle and pierced Ge Pinlian's body. What needs to be mentioned here is that in the process of solving the case, Shen Zuo pierced his body with a silver needle washed with soapy water. If the body is poisoned, this silver needle may turn black. After Shen Xiang pricked it, the silver needle turned black, so Shen,

Liu Xitong got such a conclusion, the conclusion of forensic identification, and immediately decided that the rumors in the neighborhood were true, so he took Chinese cabbage back to the county government for interrogation. At first, Bi Xiugu, a Chinese cabbage, refused to admit that he was suspected of murdering her husband, and Liu Xitong tortured him. According to historical records at that time, Liu Xitong used cruel punishments, including stabbing his chest with red-hot iron wire, melting tin, pouring hot tin on his back and boiling it. Is to pour her back into the molten metal tin with boiling tin water. Under such cruel torture, Ge Xiugu was forced to confess, saying it was 10. On June 5th, Yang Naiwu bought arsenic and gave it to her, so that she could take the opportunity to poison Ge Pinlian, so as to achieve the purpose of their adultery residence. On the ninth day of October, Ge Pinlian was ill, so she poured arsenic into the medicine soup and took it together. Ge Pinlian died of poisoning. After Liu Xitong got Bi Xiugu's confession, he immediately summoned Yang Naiwu. Surprisingly, Yang Naiwu came to the county government and denied that he had anything to do with the case. He claimed that he was not in Yuhang County at all on1October 9, and he had no time or motive to commit the crime. Liu Xitong decided that it was necessary to extort a confession by torture. In the Qing Dynasty, there was a law that if the parties did not make a confession, they could not draw a conclusion, so Liu Xitong, like the Hangzhou government, submitted an official document requesting the cancellation of Yang Naiwu's juren origin. If he cancels the status of juren, he can torture Yang Naiwu to get the confession he needs. Just as he presented the official document, the chief executive had just left, and Liu Xitong, who was eager to work, tortured Yang Naiwu that night. Nevertheless, Yang Naiwu never admitted that he had a motive for committing a crime. In other words, I have always denied my true crime. But even so, Liu Xitong put forward the theory of adultery between Yang Naiwu and Chinese cabbage to murder Ge Pinlian and requested a second trial.

So ministers of punishments, that is, the minister of the Ministry of Public Security or the president of the Supreme Court personally presided over, and then the highest-level torture officer Jiuqing sat next to him to conduct a thorough review of Yang Naiwu and Chinese cabbage. Two suspects came to Beijing for trial. During the trial, two questions need to be raised. The first testimony stated that Qian Tan, the owner of Yirentang drugstore who sold arsenic to Yang Naiwu, had died. However, Yang's family provided the testimony of Yuhang County on the same day, which was accepted. The second point is very crucial. Ge Pinlian's bones, even bones and coffins, were escorted from Yuhang to Beijing, and the coffins were reopened. Results This examination found that according to the final determination of some doctors, Ge Pinlian died of a disease, which was a disease. No poisoning was found, but it was arsenic. Once the core problem was found out, Liu Xitong and Shen Xiang, the county magistrates of Yuhang County who were also in court at that time, confessed that it was indeed that we did not do a careful job in examining Ge Pinlian's body and subjectively found them guilty, so we extorted a confession by torture. Then such a case, which lasted more than three years and nearly four years, was finally finalized. Yang Naiwu and Shen Xiang.

After the case was rehabilitated, it caused an uproar in the political environment of the Qing Dynasty at that time. Empress Dowager Cixi suddenly issued a will to punish Yuhang county magistrate Liu Xitong and sentenced him to exile in Heilongjiang Province. Yuhang county magistrate Liu Xitong did not investigate carefully, which led to the occurrence of this unjust case. He was the culprit and was taken to Heilongjiang Province. More than 30 officials, including Shen Xiang and other relevant personnel, were dismissed, expelled or investigated. More than 65,438,000 officials were dismissed, including Zhejiang Governor Yang Changjun, Hu Ruilan and Hangzhou magistrate Chen Lu, who were never used again. In this case, the Yang Naiwu case and the Chinese cabbage case, which caused a lot of uproar, ended in the fall of a large number of officials.
