Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 353 Soap Official

During the Wanli period, the magistrate of Licheng County dreamed that the city god asked him for a male servant, so he ordered eight yamen, wrote their names on the ultimatum, went to the Chenghuang Temple to pay tribute, and burned the ultimatum.

It was night, and all eight government officials died.

There is a hotel on the east side of the Chenghuang Temple. The owner is familiar with a government servant. That night, the government official came to buy wine. The owner asked, "Is it a treat? Who is the other party?" The servant said, "They are all some new colleagues with a large number of people. They set up a banquet and make friends with each other."

The next day, at dawn, the shopkeeper inquired about this matter with other government officials, and then learned that the government officials had already died.

When I went to the City God Temple to check, I saw a wine bottle on the ground, and the wine in the bottle was still sealed.

Go home and check the wine money, it's just a pile of paper ash.

In order to commemorate the eight yamen, the county magistrate specially built a statue in the Chenghuang Temple. Every time his men go out for erres, they have to go to the temple to worship the yamen. Otherwise, they will be punished by the county magistrate.
