Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 298 Butterfly

When King Jinshi of Changshan was the county magistrate, every time he tried a case, he ordered the prisoner to pay the butterfly atonement according to the severity of the crime. Thousands of butterflies were released in the public hall, like a piece of cloth blowing in the wind, which was beautiful. Seeing this, Wang Jinshi patted the table and laughed. This night, Wang Jinshi saw a woman in her dream, with gorgeous clothes and a beautiful face. He entered calmly and said, "It's because of your violence. Zheng, which led to the death of many of my sisters, you must be punished a little. After saying that, he turned into a butterfly and went away.

The next day, Wang Jinshi drank and had fun with his wife in the government. His wife held a white flower in her hand and put it on his father-in-law's head. At this moment, the servant came to report that the boss was visiting. Wang Jinshi hurried out to greet him. In a panic, he forgot to pick the flowers. He was seen by his boss and scolded him. Wang Jinshi blushed and retreated. Since then, I have never dared to bully butterflies.

Yu Chongyin, in Qingcheng County, has a wild personality and has been a secretary. One year on the night of the Lantern Festival, Yu Chongyin brought a donkey, tied it all over with fireworks, and went to the Taishou's house to visit and said, "The subordinate offered a fire donkey. Please come out and watch it." Taishou was upset because his son was infected with smallpox and ignored the words. Yu Chongyin repeatedly requested that the Taishou had no choice but to go out to meet him.

Yu Chongyin drove the donkey into the courtyard, lit the fireworks, and the flames rushed to the sky in a flash, colorful. The donkey was frightened, ran around, broke the flower pot, crushed the bottles and cans, and rashly broke into the bedroom, with sparks all over. Wherever he passed, the window gauze curtain turned into ashes. The son of the Taishou was sick in bed for a long time. He was frightened when he saw the situation. At night, he died.

Taishou was furious and prepared to impeach Yu. Yu Chongyin was afraid in his heart. At present, he pleaded guilty and invited his colleagues to make an affair. The Taishou did not mean to consider him and did not care about it in the end.
