Yin Yang Agent [Legend Of Immortality]

At that time, there was a Tongyun Temple in Baoqing Prefecture. The temple was not big. There were only six people, including the fire workers. The host was surnamed Xue, and his nickname was Jiahe Xianren Yin-Yang Agent . He was called Xue Laoxian. He was a little famous in Baoqing and his skills were not bad. Liu Wei wanted to ask him to take the lead, but it happened that Xue Laoxian went out to travel in Yunshen at that time, so there were only two apprentices and two Taoist children left in the Taoist temple. In addition, there was a fire worker, who was a cook and cleaner who was paid on time, not an old Taoist. Seeing that Xue Laoxian was not at home, Liu Wei wanted to ask someone else, but Guo Fangru, the eldest apprentice of Xue Laoxian, saw that the visitor was a well-known wealthy family, and gave two hundred taels of silver for the incense money alone, not counting the hard work fee of thousands of taels of silver after the matter was completed, so he didn't want to push this God of Wealth away, and insisted on taking this business. Liu Wei saw that Guo Fangru was tall and straight, and had a good appearance, so he trusted him more and invited Guo Fangru to his home to perform the ritual. To be honest, Guo Fangru was naturally very smart and clever, and he did have some real skills. If he were to become a disciple of a famous teacher, perhaps he would be able to achieve something. But unfortunately, his master, Xue Laoxian, was only ranked well in Baoqing Prefecture. If all the talented people from all walks of life were gathered together and ranked, he, Xue Laoxian, would be nothing, let alone the disciples he taught.

When Guo Fangru first arrived at the excavation site, he was also stunned. He had performed the rituals of moving graves and opening coffins several times, but this was the first time he had seen such a scene: three large rusty iron coffins were arranged in an equilateral triangle shape, inserted straight up and down in the soil, facing inward and bottom outward. Each coffin had an oversized iron lock hanging on the side. Because there were no words or patterns on the surface of the coffin, it was difficult to judge which dynasty it was from, but judging from the color of the iron coffin, it should not be very old. Guo Fangru didn't know what to do. The wooden coffin was free of yin and yang, so of course it could be used for salvation, but this iron coffin was not transparent, so how could it be used for salvation?

At this point, we have to say that Guo Fangru is too dogmatic in his thinking. Who in the world doesn't know that wooden coffins are convenient for salvation? If the things inside can really help salvation, why would someone go to the trouble of spending money and effort to build an iron coffin?

Seeing Guo Fangru frowning, Liu Wei also became a little anxious. He kept asking if there was any way and whether it could be moved to another place. Guo Fangru had no choice but to promise Liu Wei five days, saying that the iron coffin would be moved within five days. But to be honest, Guo Fangru was not a good-for-nothing. He also knew that the things in the iron coffin were probably not good people, and the arrangement of this triangle might have other purposes. So he did not make a decision that day, but returned to the temple to discuss countermeasures with his senior brother.

As luck would have it, when the two brothers were at a loss for what to do, their teacher Xue Caixian suddenly came back in the middle of the night. After listening to Guo Fangru's description of the situation, he almost vomited blood. He slapped Guo Fangru in the face, almost knocking out his back teeth. Guo Fangru was unconvinced at first, but after listening to the master's account of the origins of the three iron coffins, he began to feel cold in the back of his head…

In the second year of Zhihe reign of Emperor Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, a strange case happened in Baoqing Prefecture. There was a famous beauty in Baoqing named Chen Qiaoer, who was a famous beauty in the local area and was known as the Zhaojun. When she was 18 years old, Chen Qiaoer's parents unilaterally decided to marry their daughter, who already had a lover, to a wealthy local family, Wang Kun, the owner of a cloth shop whose eldest daughter was 10 years old. Although Chen Qiaoer herself was unwilling, she saw that Wang Kun was not a handsome man, but he had a strong figure, a straight nose and a straight mouth, and had some mature man's charm, so she accepted it.

As the saying goes, if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. In the more than ten years after marrying Wang Kun, Chen Qiaoer did not do anything out of the ordinary. Not only did she help her husband with his business, she also gave birth to a son for her husband, named Wang Yan. The family of three lived a happy life. As the saying goes, we are not afraid of no good things, but we are afraid of no good people. This year, Chen Qiaoer was combing her hair in front of the counter, and suddenly a special customer came to buy white linen. When she looked up, Chen Qiaoer was stunned. It turned out that the person who bought the white linen was Zhang Chao, her old lover when she was young. At that time, white linen was used for funerals when someone died in the family. Chen Qiaoer asked Zhang Chao who had passed away in his family. Zhang Chao said helplessly: My wife is gone… It turned out that Zhang Chao's wife had just passed away due to a cold two days ago. As a result, Chen Qiaoer felt very sorry for her old lover. He became a bachelor twice before he was 30 years old…

To be honest, at this moment, Chen Qiaoer did not have any extramarital affairs in mind. After all, they were old lovers from more than ten years ago. Standing face to face at this moment, he did not feel anything. But Zhang Qi did not think so. To be honest, compared with his deceased wife, Chen Qiaoer's appearance was more than an order of magnitude more beautiful. In addition, her family ran a cloth shop and knew how to dress. Chen Qiaoer's every frown and smile made Zhang Chao's heart flutter. The fact that his wife had just passed away was long forgotten.

When he learned that Chen Qiaoer's husband Wang Kun had gone to Suzhou and would not be back for another two months, Zhang Chao flirted with Chen Qiaoer and said that a friend of his was about to open a cosmetics store and hoped that Chen Qiaoer would go to the store to show her support. Chen Qiaoer agreed without thinking too much. Three days later, a cosmetics store opened in the east of the city, and a clerk sent an invitation to Chen Qiaoer. Chen Qiaoer handed the business over to the clerk and went to the cosmetics store alone. Unexpectedly, she was tricked into the backyard by Zhang Chao who had been waiting there for a long time, and he and the owner of the cosmetics store conspired to rape her.

In ancient times, men were superior to women. If such a thing happened, the woman would be labeled a whore no matter what, and she couldn't get rid of it even if she jumped into the Yellow River. Chen Qiaoer had no choice but to swallow her anger and go home. After Zhang Chao committed the crime, he found that nothing happened, so he became bolder and forced Chen Qiaoer to go out with him at night, threatening to spread the news if she didn't. Chen Qiaoer had no choice but to sneak out to date Zhang Chao behind the backs of her servants. After a while, Chen Qiaoer found that Zhang Chao's bed skills were much better than her husband's, at least his age was there, so she showed an attitude of never getting tired of it. Sometimes when Zhang Chao couldn't come because of something, Chen Qiaoer would curse him all night…

The truth will always come out. At first, when Chen Qiaoer went out in the evening, the servants and waiters in the house did not think much of it, but as time went on, people began to talk about it. When the boss Wang Kun came back, someone told Wang Kun that the old lady had secretly gone out. Originally, Wang Kun trusted his wife, but he was a little nervous. He wanted to find a chance to follow his wife, so he lied that he was going to Jiangning, but actually found an inn to stay in Baoqing.

Seeing that her husband was out again, Chen Qiaoer wanted to go and have a tryst with Zhang Chao again, but this time she couldn't knock on the door of Zhang Chao's house no matter how hard she tried. She had no choice but to go back home. However, she didn't expect that three days later, two yamen runners barged into the cloth shop and wanted to arrest people without any reason. Chen Qiaoer was taken to the yamen before she could figure out what was going on.

It was not until the court session that Chen Qiaoer realized that someone had found the body of her husband Wang Kun in Zhang Chao's home, and Zhang Chao had long since disappeared. After the coroner's autopsy, it was found that the deceased Wang Kun's face was blue and purple, and his abdomen had turned black after a silver needle was inserted into it. It was obvious that he died of poisoning. Because someone had seen Chen Qiaoer at the door of Zhang Chao's home two nights before, and there were some rumors on the street that she and Zhang Chao had an affair, the county magistrate concluded that Chen Qiaoer and Zhang Chao conspired to kill Wang Kun.

In ancient times, murdering one's husband was a serious crime among serious crimes, even comparable to treason, except that the family was not confiscated. Chen Qiaoer was so scared that she could not speak at the time, and she only knew to cry out for injustice. It can be said that the county magistrate is numb to the word "wronged". As long as he kneels in the court, he has never encountered an unjust case. How can he care about Chen Qiaoer's cry of injustice at this moment? After beating her with a few boards and seeing that she did not confess, she was directly put on the clamp. Chen Qiaoer had never suffered such a punishment. She fainted without saying a word. After being awakened by water, she was beaten again. It seems that this is the so-called torture. After several tortures, Chen Qiaoer could only admit the false fact that she killed her husband and the adulterer Zhang Chao fled for fear of crime, and pressed her fingerprints on the record in the lobby. After that, the county magistrate put Chen Qiaoer in the death row, and sent someone to send the case documents to the Ministry of Justice. It seems that Chen Qiaoer is not going to survive…

Lin Qiaoer and Wang Kun had a child named Wang Ji, who was a 14-year-old Yin-Yang agent . He disappeared the day after Chen Qiaoer was imprisoned. The cloth shop assistants searched everywhere but couldn't find him. Later, the news reached the ears of the county magistrate, who then accused Chen Qiaoer of murdering his son. The result was not difficult to predict. Under the crossfire of the clamps and boards, Chen Qiaoer simply pushed all the blame onto the missing Zhang Chao…

The boss was murdered, the boss's wife was imprisoned, the young master disappeared, and Wang's cloth shop was left without a leader. At this time, the shopkeeper Xie Laoliu suddenly remembered that the boss Wang Kun had a cousin named Wang Liang, so he sent a clerk to invite Wang Liang to be the head of the cloth shop. Wang Liang was originally a scholar. Relying on his ancestors' land, his daily job was to follow a group of so-called literati to recite poems and paint. He didn't know how to do business at all, and he was too lazy to go out to buy goods. At first, he was reluctant to come. Later, when he learned that his brother was murdered and his sister-in-law was imprisoned, he reluctantly became the acting boss of Wang's cloth shop. However, for Wang Liang, being the boss was just a change of residence, and he was still lazy and idle.

In front of the so-called "iron evidence", even if Lin Qiao'er cried until her voice was hoarse and her throat was broken in the death row, it seemed that what was waiting for her was only the approval document of the Ministry of Justice for execution in the autumn. At this critical moment when she was at the end of her rope, the approval document of the Ministry of Justice surprised everyone, including the county magistrate: Now I know that Chen from Baoqing Prefecture killed her husband. This hall met with Bao Zheng, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, and studied until night. I learned about the doubts in it, so I ordered a retrial. It should be handed over to Zhang Xiang of Changsha County to judge the facts. If you encounter it, you can execute it without any mistakes. It means: After learning about the case of Chen from Baoqing Prefecture killing her husband, this official and Bao Zheng, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, studied until late at night and found that there were many strange things in the case, so it should be sent back for retrial and handed over to Zhang Xiang of Changsha County for trial. After receiving (the official document), it must be executed immediately without any mistakes!

As a result, the foolish county magistrate of Baoqing was also very embarrassed. It was clearly an incident in his own territory, but he insisted on sending the case to the neighboring county for retrial. This was simply blatantly looking for trouble…
