Quick Wear: Don't Follow the Plot and Feel Good

"I was just curious for a moment, but ended up losing my life!" The monk was furious.

This is a long story.

Brother Li Fang is a son-in-law who runs a small pub with his wife Yujiao.

Selling wine every day is hard and tiring work, and I can only save a few taels of silver at the end of the year.

On this day, Cheng Chaofeng (Chaofeng was an official in charge of sacrifices) came to buy wine and saw the beautiful Yujiao, and he became malicious.

He took out five taels of silver, sent Li Fangge out, and asked him to buy some snacks to go with the wine.

After Li Fangge left, Cheng Chaofeng looked at the busy Yujiao and began to tease her.

Seeing that he was looking at her with lustful eyes, Yujiao scolded him and got up to leave.

Cheng Chaofeng was about to catch up when he saw Li Baifangge had already opened the door and came back. He cursed his bad luck in his heart!

He put on a smile, took the snacks, and left angrily.

The more I thought about it, the more depressed I became. That day, I happened to be drinking with Wang Chaofeng.

Wang Chaofeng asked him why he was so depressed, and Cheng Chaofeng told him about Yujiao.

Wang Chaofeng suggested, "Brother Li Fang is a poor boy. I heard he wants to open a restaurant, but unfortunately he has no money. You can make something of this."

Cheng Chaofeng then approached Li Fangge and said, "I can give you 30 taels of silver to help you open a restaurant. But you have to lend me something."

Li Fangge was overjoyed and asked, "What is it?"

Cheng Chaofeng was reluctant to say it clearly, and only said: "It must be something your wife owns. You can go back and discuss it with her, and it won't be too late to get back to me." Then he gave Li Fangge 3 taels of silver as a deposit.

After returning, Brother Li Fang happily told Yujiao what Cheng Chaofeng had said.

Unexpectedly, Yu Jiao's expression changed when she heard this: "You fool! He's not helping you out of kindness! He's clearly asking you to sell me out! Return the money immediately!"

Li Fangge hesitated and went back to Cheng Chaofeng. Cheng Chaofeng saw that Li Fangge was wavering and continued to tempt him: "Just do it once, and I'll give you 30 taels. Otherwise, with your hard work every day, how can you save enough money to open a restaurant?"

Li Fangge returned home with the silver and lied to Yujiao, "I have already returned the silver, my lady, just don't worry."

At night, Brother Li Fang quietly got up, opened the back door, and went to the neighbor's house next door to drink tea.

The waiter laughed at him: "You are drinking tea here alone, leaving your beautiful wife alone at home. Aren't you afraid that someone will miss you?"

Brother Li Fang wanted to go back, but he was afraid that the 30 taels he was about to get would be gone, so he resisted the urge to go back.

He waited until the middle of the night before returning home, not daring to look at Yujiao.

When Yujiao saw him, she was furious and wanted to argue with him with a pair of scissors.

Seeing Li Fangge begging desperately and repeatedly promising to only compete once, Yujiao softened her heart. Now that things had come to this, what else could she do?

Brother Li Fang's restaurant opened very quickly, and Cheng Chaofeng also arranged many friends to come and support it, which made Brother Li Fang start to feel proud for a while and think that he was a good businessman.

The good times did not last long. Cheng Chaofeng asked Yujiao to spend a night with him again, but was rejected by Li Fangge.

Cheng Chaofeng, enraged, ordered that no one be allowed to consume at Li Fangge's restaurant. Li Fangge's restaurant was about to close down not long after it opened, and scoundrels often came to cause trouble.

Just as I was worrying, Cheng Chaofeng said, "To be honest, Wang Chaofeng has taken a fancy to your wife. If you can get your wife to accompany him once, maybe your restaurant business will pick up soon."

Brother Li Fang was shaken again.

Yujiao was disheartened when she heard this.

When Wang Chaofeng arrived at Yujiao's room at night, he only saw Yujiao's corpse. He was so scared that he ran away.

There happened to be a monk begging for alms on the street, and the monk was curious: Why is this person in such a hurry? Why is he running?

Seeing the door open, I went upstairs. What I saw was a dead body! There was a pool of blood on the ground. I fainted immediately out of shock.

When Li Fangge came back and saw that his wife was dead, he guessed that she committed suicide because she didn't want to serve Wang Chaofeng. However, he hated both Cheng and Wang Chaofeng, so he went to the county government to file a complaint.

The county government took the money from Cheng and Wang. The three of them conspired and decided to have the wandering monk take the blame. They said that the monk was trying to steal something and was discovered by Yujiao. During the argument between the two, Yujiao was killed by the monk.

The homicide case was hastily closed.

Brother Li Fang knew that the monk was not the murderer, and he was filled with remorse and set fire to the restaurant.

The monk felt even more wronged: I didn’t do anything, I was just curious, why did I lose my life?

Ginger asked the monk, "Do you have a name?"

"No."

"Then I'll call you Wuming."

Monk... seems to be right.

"I want to clear my name," Wuming said.

"As you wish, wait a moment." After saying that, Jiang disappeared.

"The prisoner is unnamed. Do you plead guilty?"

When Sheng Jiang heard the magistrate's question, he immediately replied, "The monk is innocent and denies his guilt."

The county magistrate was furious. "I don't think you'll cry until you see the coffin! Come! Give me 50 lashes!"

Ginger smiled and waved a broken fan: "50? How about 20?"

The county magistrate thought Sheng Jiang was scared and started bargaining: "20? No! At least 40!" He was mainly afraid that he would beat you to death and you wouldn't be able to sign.

"30?" Sheng Jiang asked again.

"30 is 30! Come on! Pin down the monk and execute him," the county magistrate said proudly.

Just as the execution was about to begin, two men, one big and one small, suddenly came in from outside and said they wanted to sue a monk for stealing their buns.

The county magistrate asked which monk it was?

The adults over there said, "A crazy monk." When they saw the ginger, their eyes lit up, "He was the one who stole it!"

Sheng Jiang still smiled, "Don't slander me, when did I steal your buns? Look, isn't it right here?"

After saying that, he pointed with his finger, and there was indeed a bun on the county magistrate's desk.

The county magistrate was puzzled: Isn't this the place where I used to wash my brush? How did it become a bun? Where did my brush go?

After the bun seller left, the county magistrate suppressed his doubts and ordered the squad leader to begin the torture.

The squad leader wanted Sheng Jiang to kneel down, but he refused to budge no matter how hard he tried. The county magistrate was furious: "You bold monk! Why don't you kneel?!"

Sheng Jiang replied slowly, "I am a Buddhist and I only kneel to the Buddha. Why should I kneel to you?"

"Monk, where did you become a monk?" The county magistrate wanted to ask the address and then go to the temple to argue.

Who would have thought that ginger would not play by the rules? "I am a poor monk from Huanglian Temple, and I have no words to express my suffering."

The county magistrate thought he was a madman and just threw the order away.

As a result, the order flew out?

The county magistrate didn't believe it, so he threw out another warrant, but the warrant sank into the ground and disappeared!

The county magistrate was furious again and slammed the gavel, "You bold monk! Are you still not going to be punished?"

Sheng Jiang asked him, "Are you sure you want to execute him? Then let's give him 50 lashes!"

The county magistrate didn't understand why, but he nodded anyway.

As a result, when the squad leader hit Sheng Jiang with the stick, Sheng Jiang continued to smile, while the county magistrate in the hall screamed in pain and jumped up and down, holding his butt.

This caused the people watching outside to burst into laughter.

The county magistrate felt extremely ashamed and angry. No matter how he shouted "Stop, stop!", the squad leader just kept moving.

After 50 strokes of the cane, the county magistrate was already dying.

Ginger ignored him and left.

Cheng Chaofeng and Wang Chaofeng on the side could not sit still: If this man leaves and there are no monks, who will take the blame?

He immediately shouted, "Stop!"

Sheng Jiang waved a broken fan in his hand and turned his head, "Oh, I forgot about you two. Oh, and that Brother Li Fang."

"Brother Li Fang, tell me, how did your wife die?"

Wang Chaofeng was about to speak, but found that he could no longer speak. He could only worry.

The same is true for Cheng Chaofeng.

Li Fangge said, "Wang Chaofeng killed my wife!" He concealed the fact that he had sold his wife to open a restaurant, and simply said that Wang Chaofeng had fallen in love with his wife and wanted to do something bad to her, but she refused and committed suicide. Wang Chaofeng's clothes were still covered with his wife's blood.

When everyone heard this, they immediately felt that Cheng and Wang were not human beings and started cursing at them.

Sheng Jiang asked, "Brother Li Fang, have you thought it through? Are you telling the truth?"

"Yes"

"Okay." Sheng Jiang suddenly waved his hand, and the whole hall was like a movie: Cheng Chaofeng fell in love with Li Fangge's wife, gave Li Fangge 30 taels of silver, and helped him open a restaurant...

The people suddenly saw the truth and started throwing rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at Brother Li Fang, calling him "scum!"

"It's shameful for a man to sell his wife for money!"

"That's right, he usually looks honest, but he's so ruthless when he does things."

"Cheng, Wang Chaofeng is not a good person to begin with. He would harass any girl he saw who was even slightly pretty. This Yujiao is so unlucky. All the men she met were scumbags!"

"We women are so pitiful. Even if we marry a beast, we can't divorce and have to rely on men for our lives."

The truth was revealed, and with a wave of his hand, all the men were struck dead by lightning, their souls thrown into the endless hell.

Now that we are here, let’s do some good things. Then it started to rain heavily.

The crops in the county town, which had been dry for a long time, were finally watered enough, and the people cheered.

Then, in full view of everyone, he summoned a crane. Jiang took off into the air, sat on the crane, and flew away on the wind.

“So he’s a highly accomplished monk!”

"He's truly a living Buddha. If it weren't for him, we probably wouldn't have known that the county magistrate was also in cahoots with the corrupt!"

"Yes, yes, we have helped our county get rid of several bullies."

Ginger rode on a crane and soared into the sky.

Since then, the legend of a nameless monk has been circulating in this county.
