Chapter 415 Zhou Sheng
Zhou Sheng, the magistrate of Zichuan County. On this day, the county magistrate had something to do. His wife, Xu, had always wanted to go to Mount Tai to worship Bixia Yuanjun, but because of the long distance, it was difficult to get what he wanted, so she sent a servant to do this matter and asked Zhou Sheng to write a memorial.
Zhou Sheng wrote a style article about Xu's life. In some places, it involved the deeds of the county magistrate, and his words were evil, which was quite disrespectful. One of the sentences is written as follows: "The flowers of Banyang County are planted, and the sleeves are pitied; the grass of the valley and Mishan is placed, but the remaining peaches are loved." The words of broken sleeves and Yu Tao allude that the county magistrate loves men's style and has a same-sex love, which is to fight for the Xu family. There are many more like this kind of words.
After finishing the manuscript, Zhou Sheng took the sacrifice to his colleague Ling Sheng to watch. Ling Sheng said, "The article is too frivolous. It will definitely anger the gods and can't be used." Zhou Sheng didn't listen and still handed it over to his servant and ordered him to take it to Mount Tai.
Soon after, Zhou Sheng died of a violent illness, and the servant also died soon. Xu was also affected and died shortly after giving birth. When Zhou Sheng's son heard about this, he was very sad. He rushed from the capital to Zichuan to welcome his father's coffin. He slept with Ling Sheng at night. After dreaming, he saw his father coming and said, "The article really can't be written indiscriminately!" At the beginning, I didn't listen to Ling Sheng's advice, which made me angry and died young. It also implicates Mrs. Xu and innocent servants. Even if I go to hell, I'm afraid it's still inevitable to punishment!"
After Zhou Zi woke up, he told Ling Sheng about his dream. Ling also had the same dream and briefly described Zhou Sheng's writing of sacrifices. Zhou Zi was shocked when he heard the words.
