Liang Tianlai is the victim of the "nine-life strange injustice case", and the victim is his cousin Ling Guixing. Ling Guixing's father Ling Zongke is the brother-in-law of Liang Tianlai's father Liang Chaoda. Uncle Lang and his wife opened a silk shop in Nanxiong, Guangdong Province in their early years, and the business of the shop was booming. Later, Ling Zongke had savings and went back to the provincial capital to enjoy his old age. The store business continues to be managed by Liang Chaoda. Soon, Ling Zongke and Liang Chaoda died one after another, and the store business declined. Liang Chaoda has two sons. The eldest son comes every day, and the second son Jun also comes. Ling Zongke left only one son, the precious Xing. After the three men discussed it, the store closed down and each sought a way out. Liang Tianlai's brothers returned to the provincial capital and opened a "Tianhe" sugar shop in No.8 Middle School, while Ling Guixing wanted to take the road of official career in the imperial examination. Things would have come to an end, and there would have been peace between cousins.
Ling Guixing's first attempt was not the first time. He actually believed in Feng Shui. He found a Mr. Feng Shui named Ma to see Feng Shui at Lingjiazu Tomb in Panyu Tan Village. Ma believes that Lingjiazu's grave is exposed in words in the east and fierce in the west. Basalt towering behind, Suzaku flat in front, four Zhou Gonggu. There should be a champion and three scholars. Tributes and scholars can exist forever, and Gui Ling will be elated. However, Ma added: Unfortunately, there are "stone chambers" in front (people in Guangzhou call granite stones granite, and houses built with granite stones are "stone chambers", such as the Goethe-style church on Yide Road in Guangzhou, commonly known as "stone chambers"), which are in a position of evil. It would be perfect if it was torn down. Stone Room is the property of Liang Tianlai's family. Ling Guixing and Liang Tianlai negotiated a high price to buy it. "Stone Room" was built by Liang Tianlai's father to store valuables and guard against theft. In addition to the building and the ground are all made of stone, there is a sand pile one or two feet deep around the ground, with three doors. Father Liang told many times before his death that no matter what his family circumstances, he was not allowed to be demolished or sold within three generations. Liang Tianlai declined Ling Guixing's request. A shocking case began.
Collaborate with gangsters to kill people.
In order to occupy the "stone room", Ling Guixing colluded with uncle Ling Zongkong and uncle Juexing, and decided to collude with Linda and a group of gangsters to start their criminal actions in the name of robbery.
One night, Ling Guixing and others divided the assembled dozens of troops into four roads: first, more than ten firecrackers were set off all night to cover up the sound of robbery; The second passer-by smoked all the watchmen on duty or rotating, the shed workers who took care of the wooden shed and others with "stuffy incense"; The third person is responsible for receiving the officials who heard the news, falsely claiming that the Ling family set off firecrackers to destroy "Yin Qi" and then entertained them to eat and drink; The fourth passer-by directly killed Benliang's family in the name of robbery, and prepared to capture Benliang's brother alive and kill him after being confirmed by Ling Guixing.
Unexpectedly, people are not as good as the sky. Liang Tianlai and his brothers returned to Guangzhou Tianhe Sugar Store before the incident.
Liang Tianlai's family was shocked and panicked when they heard the news of the robbery, and they all hid in the stone house. Linda and his gang broke down the first wooden door with a hammer, and the second iron door was burned with firewood and charcoal. After the iron gate was burned and deformed, it was split with a hammer and axe. The third solid stone gate cannot be opened. Lin, the bandit leader, came up with a poisonous trick. He used tung oil and charcoal, and blew the toxic gas produced by combustion into the crack of the door with a bellows. ...
The next day, Liang Tianlai's brothers came back and reported to the official. Government officials rushed to the crime scene, found masons to cut open the stone gate, and * * * carried out eight people. Grandma Ling's family was still breathing, so they immediately saved her life with ginger soup and boiled water. All the other seven people died, including Liang Junlai's pregnant wife. The case of seven dead and eight dead quickly spread throughout the provincial capital.
After life and death, after years of grievances, it will eventually be a timely help.
In order not to let Liang Tianlai complain, Ling Guixing paid off officials at all levels, such as the magistrate, the governor, the court, the platform and the Taiwan system, with tens of thousands of taels of silver. In the past few years, Tian Liang's discontent has hit a wall everywhere. He fell ill with anxiety and almost died. Tian Liang went to Beijing to report to the imperial court and was beheaded separately by five people sent by Ling Guixing's uncle Juexing. Zhang Feng, a witness and beggar in this case, refused to be bought by money and color, and was strangled alive, resulting in a strange injustice of nine lives.
Liang Tianlai narrowly escaped death and finally arrived in Beijing, where he submitted a petition to Douchayuan. Du saw that the case was serious and involved many officials, so he dared not deal with it immediately. One day, I met Kong Dapeng, a producer from Taiwan Province who supervised the Yellow River water conservancy project, and returned to Beijing (Kong Dapeng worked in Guangdong and was transferred before closing the case). Kong learned that the case had not yet been settled, so he urged him to go to war. Yong Zhengdi was very angry after receiving the script, and immediately appointed assistant ministers Li Shimei and Kong Dapeng as imperial envoys, and made a special trip to Guangdong to investigate the case.
When two imperial envoys arrived in Jiangxi, Li Shimei met her nephew Li Feng, who had been used by Ling Guixing and was preparing to surrender. Li Feng suggested that the imperial envoys should not go directly to the provincial capital Guangzhou to arrest the people involved, because Ling Guixing had already bribed officials at all levels, and it was easy to leak the news. Ling Guixing was preparing to flee abroad at that time, and there were as many as thirty or forty people involved, so it was difficult to catch them all. Li Feng contributed one of his letters, saying that an imperial envoy promised to be flexible, but the confession should be consistent. When Ling Guixing and a group of people concentrated on discussing confessions, they took the opportunity to arrest them all. After the two imperial envoys arrived in Shaoguan, Guangdong, they ordered Wan Fu, the company commander of Shaoguan, to appoint a right-hand man to arrest criminals according to the list. Wanfuling, immediately appointed troops to the provincial capital of Guangzhou and Panyu Tan Village to perform tasks.
The whole arrest process went smoothly, and * * * arrested more than 30 criminals. Ling Guixing, the principal offender, was sentenced to death in Ling Chi, Qu Juexing, Lin et al. 13 were beheaded, and 15 were hanged. Some officials, large and small, involved in the case were sent to the army, some were demoted and transferred, and some were handed over to the Ministry of Punishment. Officials who fail to close the case immediately find out the facts and then deal with them. Feng Shui master Ma was also severely fined 500 boards, "cangue" (imprisoned with wooden shackles) for one month and "expulsion" (sent back to his hometown). On the day of sentencing, all the criminals were taken to the Tianzi Wharf in Guangzhou, the provincial capital, for public execution. The case was finally solved with nine deaths and complaints.
