Chinese cabbage was born in Xianfeng for six years (1856), and was born in Bijiatang Village, Yuhang County. There are dozens of families in Bijiatang, so this village is called Bijiatang, and the Chinese cabbage family is one of them. Her father's name is Bi, and Chinese cabbage's real name is Bi Xiugu. Because she is slim and graceful, she often wears a white coat and a green apron, so the neighborhood is close. Chinese cabbage? .

After Chinese cabbage remarried with his mother, he met Ge Pinlian, a young man from the tofu shop. Ge Pinlian is simple and honest. He and Chinese cabbage are in the same boat and lost their father at an early age. Moreover, Ge's mother and Bi's mother remarried to the same place very coincidentally, which made Chinese cabbage and Ge Pinlian become fellow villagers. Later, both mothers felt that the two children were predestined friends, and Wang decided to betroth eleven-year-old Chinese cabbage to twenty-two-year-old Ge Pinlian.
As Chinese cabbage grows up day by day, people are becoming more and more beautiful. Chinese cabbage is not satisfied with this marriage arranged by his mother. She thinks that Ge Pinlian is old and fat, which is not her type. She wants to dissolve her marriage.
Chinese cabbage often cries in front of her mother, asking her to break off her engagement. In feudal society, it is very difficult to dissolve the engagement. Mother Bi comforted her daughter and said that she would ask for more bride price in the future to make her live better. Chinese cabbage has no choice but to accept its fate.

Yang Naiwu is brilliant and knowledgeable. 20-year-old high school scholar, quite famous in Yuhang County. Yang Naiwu's integrity and his love of fighting injustice laid the groundwork for his future tragedy.
During the reign of Jiaqing Road in Qing Dynasty, officials were corrupt, engaged in malpractices for personal gain, and took bribes. At that time, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces received the most grain in Qing Dynasty. Local officials took the opportunity to practice favoritism and malpractice, and the people were quite dissatisfied. Yang Naiwu is honest and often helps people against the government. Later, the government installed one for Yang Naiwu? Take all the money and food? Accusations, to punish Yang Naiwu, but Yang Naiwu argued, it will go away.
In the second year after Chinese cabbage was married to Ge's family, the family hired guests. Chinese cabbage was introduced by Gongdie, and her husband Ge Pinlian became Yang Naiwu's tenants.
Ge Pinlian sells tofu for a living and often goes out early and comes back late. Later, he simply lived in a tofu shop. The Yang family watched Chinese cabbage eat alone, which was quite deserted. He was sympathetic and invited her to have dinner with him. Therefore, Chinese cabbage is very grateful to Yang's family.
Yang Naiwu read a lot of poems, which made Chinese cabbage very envious. She often asked Yang Naiwu to teach him to read and write, but Yang Naiwu didn't refuse. In feudal society, men and women paid attention to giving and receiving. Yang Naiwu and Chinese cabbage attracted a lot of gossip, which also made Ge Pinlian doubt his wife, Chinese cabbage. He often sneaks home and eavesdrops at the door, but all he hears is reading.

(4) Ge Pinlian died suddenly.
With what? Sheep eat cabbage? The rumor spread more and more widely, and Ge Pinlian moved out of the Yang family. On one occasion, Liu Xi bullied Chinese cabbage with his son's good friend He Chunfang and was beaten by Ge Pinlian. Ge Pinlian only scolded He Chunfang and didn't hold him accountable. On the contrary, he was more suspicious of Chinese cabbage and often beat her.
With the relationship between Chinese cabbage and his wife becoming more and more stiff, the future of Yang Naiwu High School is bright. One day, Ge Pinlian was going to a tofu shop and found his legs were failing. Chinese cabbage asked him to hire a helper and rest at home for a few days. Ge Pinlian disagreed and insisted on going to the tofu shop. After two days, Ge Pinlian found that something was wrong and struggled to go home from the tofu shop. Chinese cabbage took care of her husband carefully and found a doctor to see him. As a result, he was saved
Ge Pinlian's foster mother Feng is a troubled person. She suspected that Ge Pinlian died abnormally. The next day, she reported the case to the county government. When Yuhang county magistrate Liu Xitong was about to leave for an autopsy, scholar Chen Zhushan stopped him. Sheep eat cabbage? Rumor told the judge that Chen Zhushan had long hated Yang Naiwu and that Yang Naiwu and Chen Zhushan had fought against each other. Yang Naiwu won more and lost less, and robbed Chen Zhushan of his job. Chen Zhushan wants to use the Chinese cabbage incident to eradicate Yang Naiwu.
Yuhang county magistrate Liu Xitong sent someone to inquire and confirmed Chen Zhushan's words. He immediately sent an autopsy. The autopsy initially identified tobacco poisoning, while Liu Xitongmen firmly believed that it was arsenic poisoning. After consulting with the county magistrate, the autopsy was determined to be?

(5) twists and turns
Liu Xitong sent someone to arrest Chinese cabbage and tortured her. Chinese cabbage couldn't stand the torture and fainted. When she woke up, Liu Xitong had disappeared. The county magistrate's sister Ruan threatened Chinese cabbage, saying that water under the bridge. If Yang Naiwu confessed everything, the crime could be mitigated.
After Ruan did his ideological work, Liu Xitong appeared. He tortured Chinese cabbage and forced it to confess. According to Ruan's teaching, she gave Chinese cabbage a pack of flowing gunpowder, and her husband took it and died suddenly.
After Liu Xitong got the confession, he immediately arrested Yang Naiwu. However, Yang Naiwu was a juren, and the Qing court stipulated that torture was not allowed to be used against juren. The next day, Liu Xitong reported the official document to the Governor, requesting the Governor to report to the court to abolish the identity of Yang Naiwu Juren.
When Liu Xitong tried Yang Naiwu for the second time, he began to punish him severely, but Yang Naiwu denied it, saying that he was not in Yuhang on the day of the crime, but with his family at his father-in-law's house in Nanxiang.

But Liu Xitong ignored it and thought that Yang Naiwu and Chinese cabbage conspired to kill Ge Pinlian. In order to make Yang Naiwu's murder true, Liu Xitong tampered with the autopsy report and the suspect's confession, and reported it to the Hangzhou magistrate for approval. This case is full of loopholes. Why is Liu Xitong in such a hurry to finalize?
There is a simple reason. Liu Xitong was appointed as the county magistrate of Yuhang County for the third time. Last time, he was forced to leave because Yang Naiwu reported his dereliction of duty to the court. Liu Xitong felt that he was only in his sixties when he arrived at the magistrate of a county, and Yang Naiwu was on his way.
After Liu Xitong reported the case to the magistrate Chen Lu, Yang Naiwu thought that perhaps the magistrate's adult could be observant and innocent. However, he was wrong. Chen Lu and Liu Xitong made friends privately, and they were officials who cared for each other. In addition, Chen Lu is also very dissatisfied with Yang Naiwu's leadership of the people's resistance to grain.
Chen Lu severely punished Yang Naiwu without asking, which caused Yang Naiwu to faint several times. Finally, in order to make the evidence more sufficient, he was forced to confess that he had sold arsenic to Yang Naiwu.
Chen Lu found enough evidence and reported it to the next higher level. After several trials, he still failed to reverse the case. In desperation, Yang Naiwu's sister and wife sold all their property and went to Beijing to sue the court, but they were suppressed by the DuchaYuan.

(6) Why did the Yang Naiwu case lead to the demotion of hundreds of officials?
Just when the Yang family was cornered, Wu Yitong's appearance changed his fate. Wu Yitong is an imperial examination officer in Yang Naiwu, and they have a good personal relationship. At this moment, Wu Yitong just made a tout for Hu Xueyan, while Hu Xueyan was toasting at the left.
Hu Xueyan once gave Xia Tongshan, assistant minister of punishments, a practice. Wu Yitong knows that Xia Tongshan is honest and dares to speak. He told Xia Tongshan about Yang Naiwu's grievances. Xia Tongshan happens to be close friends with Weng Tonghe, who is not a simple person. He was the teacher of Emperor Guangxu.
Later, with the help of these people, it was proved that Ge Pinlian died of illness, not murder. After the joint examination of punishments, the truth came out, and Pakchoi and Yang Naiwu were innocent. However, the case has not been closed. Empress Dowager Cixi ordered the case to be closed, but the subordinate officials United against the conviction. In fact, this case is obviously a struggle between the Qing court and Xiang clique, because most of the suspected officials are left clique. Cixi had long wanted to weaken Zuo's power, and her unjust case just hit her.
In the Qing dynasty, deliberately fabricating facts and killing people would lead to sitting backwards. According to the law of the Qing Dynasty, it is a capital crime for a suspected official to sit backwards. That's why Yang Naiwu's case can't be overturned in the first place. There are too many officials involved, knowing that there are grievances and not daring to reverse the case, which eventually leads to more and more officials involved.
However, the judgment issued by the Ministry of Punishment later excused the officials suspected of the case, saying that they did not intend to frame them, but were completely negligent. Hundreds of officials saved their lives, but lost their official positions and were all dismissed.

However, in the end, Empress Dowager Cixi benefited. She used this case to teach herself a lesson, weaken the left's power and consolidate her rights.
