Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 214 Dou

Nan Sanfu, a native of Jinyang, the son of a family. Ten miles away from the house, there is a villa, and Nansanfu must ride a horse to check it once a day. It happened to rain on this day. On the way, there was a village. There was a farmer in the village. The door was spacious, and Nansanfu went to take shelter from the rain. The owner was afraid of the power of the Nan family and did not dare to refuse. He came out to greet him with a respectful attitude.

Entering the room, the living room is small. The owner cleans the tables and chairs and pours a glass of honey to entertain the guests.

Nan Sanfu asked him to sit down. The master dared to take a seat and asked his name. He said, "The surname is Dou, and his name is Tingzhang." Not long after, Dou Tingzhang killed the chicken to cook wine and entertained the guests. A young girl came out to hot the wine and shuttled back and forth. From time to time, she waited outside the door, revealing half of her body slightly. She was about fifteen or sixteen years old and was unparalleled beauty.

Nan Sanfu didn't feel excited, and then the rain stopped. Nan Sanfu returned home, missing the girl, and it was hard to scratch.

The next day, Nan Sanfu prepared rice cloth, went to the farmer's house to thank him, and took the opportunity to get close to the beautiful woman. Since then, he has frequently gone to Dou's house, brought wine and meat, and was attentive. Over time, Miss Dou gradually became familiar with him and was no longer afraid. She often ran in front of Nan Sanfu without taboo. Nan Sanfu sometimes secretly looked at her. Miss Dou just bowed her head and smiled, and was not angry. Nan Sanfu became more and more fascinated. He often ran to the girl's house for two days.

On this day, it happened that Dou Tingzhang was not at home. Nan Sanfu sat alone for a long time, and Miss Dou just came out to meet the guests. Nan Sanfu saw that there was no one everywhere. Hu Er grabbed Miss Dou's arm and forced her to have a good time. Miss Dou strictly refused, "Although the slave family is poor, it is not a watery person. Even if you want to marry a prince, you should not bully others.

At that time, Nan Sanfu's wife had just died, and she was single and unaccompanied. Hearing the words, she said, "If I can get the favor of the young lady, I will never marry again." Miss Dou asked him to swear, and Nan Sanfu did not hesitate to swear to heaven and said, "In this life, we will never live up to each other." Only then did Miss Dou be happy. They lingered with each other and loved each other endlessly.

Since then, every time Dou Tingzhang went out, the two of them secretly became happy. Miss Dou urged Nan: "It's not a long-term solution without a matchmaker. The prince's family is illustrious. If you propose marriage to your parents, the second elder will definitely agree. Please make a decision early. Nan Sanfu Nuonuo perfunctorily and thought, "Is a poor girl in the countryside a good match?" He prevaricates in his mouth and doesn't want to.

Soon after, a matchmaker came to propose marriage. The woman was a nobleman of a rich family. Nan Sanfu was still a little hesitant at the beginning, but he heard the matchmaker's introduction: "The bride is beautiful and rich in money." Immediate reply.

On the other hand, Miss Dou was pregnant and urged Nan to get married again and again. Nan Sanfu was worried and simply cut off contact. In a few years, Miss Dou gave birth to a baby boy. The father was furious and beat and scolded his daughter. Miss Dou couldn't stand it, so she had to tell the truth and said, "Mr. Nan will definitely marry me."

Dou Tingzhang was a little angry and sent someone to Nanfu to inquire. Nan San refused to admit it. Dou Tingzhang was so angry that he abandoned the child in the wilderness and beat his daughter day and night. Miss Dou begged the woman next door to inform Nan of her situation, but Nan Sanfu still ignored it.

Miss Dou escaped overnight and recovered her flesh and blood. Fortunately, the child was still alive, and the mother and son went to Nanfu to ask for justice. Miss Dou said to the doorman, "Go and report to your master. Even if he doesn't miss the past, he doesn't even want his own son?" The doorkeeper went to report the news. Nan Sanfu was hard-hearted and indifferent. He told his men, "C Close the door and don't let the crazy woman come in."

Miss Dou leaned on the door and cried until the fifth update. The next day, the servants of Nanfu opened the door to check, and saw Miss Dou holding the baby in his arms, and both mother and son froze to death.

Dou Tingzhang was so indignant that he told the matter to the government and denounced Nan for being unkind and unjust. Nan Sanfu was afraid and bribed the county magistrate with a thousand taels of gold, and was finally acquitted. The first thing he did after coming out was to propose marriage to the rich man.

The rich man fell asleep at night and dreamed of a woman wearing a hair, holding a baby, and warning himself: "Don't marry your daughter to a heartless man, otherwise, I will kill her." The rich man didn't care. He didn't pay attention to Miss Dou's words. He was greedy for the wealth of the Nan family, and finally decided to marry a daughter.

On the day of marriage, the woman's dowry was rich, and the bride's appearance was not bad, but her face was sad and she was depressed all day long. Even between the beds, she often sheds tears. Nan Sanfu asked the reason, but the bride did not say anything. A few days later, the rich man came to visit, looked in a hurry, and cried when he entered the door. Before Nan Sanfu could ask what was going on, the rich man had broken into the bedroom. At first glance, he saw the bride's appearance and said in astonishment, "My daughter has just been hanged in the back garden. Who is she?"

When the bride heard the words, her face changed greatly. Suddenly, she fell to the ground and died. Looking at it, it turned out to be Miss Dou. Nan Sanfu rushed to the back garden to check and saw that his new daughter-in-law was hanged from the peach tree. He was so scared that he rushed to the village to ask Dou Tingzhang for the truth.

Dou Tingzhang was also confused. He dug his daughter's grave, opened the coffin and saw that Miss Dou's body disappeared. For a moment, the new hatred was added to hatred. He hated Nan San and thought, "Nedless to say, my daughter's body must have been stolen by someone surnamed Nan." In anger, he went to the government to complain again.

The county magistrate did not dare to judge rashly because of the fantasy of the case. In order to avoid the disaster, Nan Sanfu sent a lot of silver. The county magistrate was short-handed, and the case was not over.

Nan Sanfu has been involved in lawsuits twice in a row, with a series of tos and turns, and the family gradually declines, coupled with bad conduct, everyone hates it. Therefore, he has not been able to marry a wife for several years. In desperation, he went a hundred miles away and married Cao Jinshi's daughter as his wife. Before they got married, there were rumors from the people everywhere. The court draft girl issued an order: All unmarried girls should be sent to the palace.

Because of this, the family is worried, and there are daughters looking for husbands one after another. On this day, an old girl visited her door, followed by a sedan chair, and said to Nan Sanfu, "The Cao family sent her daughter." While talking, he helped Miss Cao into the hall, looked at Cao, and said with a smile, "The court is very urgent to choose a concubine. I didn't have time to hold the wedding in a hurry, so I rushed to send the bride here. Please don't be surprised."

Nan Sanfu asked, "What about the send-off team?" The old lady said, "Transport the dowry in the back, and it will arrive soon." After saying that, he left in a hurry. Nan Sanfu opened his eyes and looked at the bride. Seeing her graceful, she could be said to be a rare beauty. She talked and laughed with her. The bride lowered her head and played with the embroidered belt, and her expression was very similar to Miss Dou.

Nan Sanfu was unhappy and thought, "Is it that Miss Dou's soul is not scattered and she is entangled again?" But after all, he is timid and dares not ask after all. A few times after, the bride went to bed and slept peacefully and covered her face with a quilt. Nan Sanfu doubted more and more, "What is she doing?" Shy?" Seeing the red sun set outside the window, I didn't see the dowry for a long time. I couldn't stand it anymore. I quickly walked to the bedside and lifted the quilt hard. I saw that the bride was cold and had been dead for a long time.

Nan Sanfu was stunned. He married his wife and killed him. The situation was serious. He immediately rushed to Cao's house and told him the whole story. Cao Jinshi didn't listen to a word and finally said, "My daughter stayed in her boudoir. She didn't get married. Are you crazy?"

There was a blank in Nan Sanfu's mind, "The deceased is not Miss Cao, who is that?"

Before that, there was a Yao Xiaolian whose daughter died and was buried. Just a day after she was buried, the body was nowhere to be found. Master Yao heard that there was an extra female corpse in Nanfu out of thin air. He went to verify that the body was actually his daughter. He was sad and hateful in his heart. He opened the quilt and looked at it, and his daughter was naked. Naked, he was even more angry. Without saying a word, he was about to sue Nan San to the government.

Nan Sanfu has always been misconducted. The county magistrate was disgusted and did not bother to interrogate her. He directly made a judgment: Nan stole a female corpse, beheaded according to the crime, and executed immediately.
