Yang Naiwu and Xiaobai is a famous late Qing dynasty strange case, its real situation is also very twisted, here we come to roughly review Yang Naiwu and Xiaobai of the injustice of the rough end.
Small Chinese cabbage at the age of 16 married Ge Pin, the two in the Tongzhi 11 years on the fourth day of the third month of the wedding, small Chinese cabbage will become Ge Bi. At the time, Ge Pin worked as an assistant in a tofu store, and Yang Naiwu had three new buildings for rent, so the couple rented one of them.
Ge Pin in the tofu store work morning and night, and cabbage because of the home of a man with nothing to do often go to Yang Naiwu home to visit, after getting acquainted, Yang Naiwu also teach cabbage reading and chanting. Later, Yang Naiwu's wife, Yang Zhan's death in childbirth, inside and outside the neighborhood will be rumored to have small cabbage and Yang Naiwu adultery. Shortly thereafter, Yang Naiwu increased the rent, the little cabbage couple because of the expensive rent and moved away. And later, Yang Naiwu married Xiao Yang Zhan and became a successful candidate.
We thought that the days could go on like this, but on October 9 of the 12th year of the Tongzhi reign, Ge Pin went home early with the owner of the tofu store on leave because he was not feeling well. He had vomited many times during the period, and his condition worsened after he returned home, and he died within two days. Because of the suddenness of Ge Pin's death, the matter was also brought to the court.
To find out the cause of Ge Pin's death, naturally need to examine the body, and Liu Xitong in the examination of the body just before the mouth of Chen Zhushan heard from the Chinese cabbage and Yang Naiwu adulterous rumors, which makes Liu Xitong hidden suspicion Ge Pin is the Chinese cabbage poisoned to death? Later pallbearer Shen Xiang examined the body, found Ge Pin face green, mouth and nose with blood, and the silver needle to explore the throat has a greenish-black, which makes Shen Xiang puzzled, obviously the silver needle measured arsenic poisoning, but the symptoms are not like arsenic poisoning.
Later, Shen Xiang reported that Ge Pin was poisoned to death as a result of the report, but did not say what poison, and the governor did not ask. Shen Caiquan and Shen Xiang argued over the cause of Ge Pin's poisoning. Shen Xiang believed that Ge Pin committed suicide and was poisoned to death because of the raw tobacco soil, while Shen Caiquan believed that Ge Pin was killed and was poisoned to death by arsenic. The two of them forget that the silver needle needs to be washed with soapy water before testing the poison, which in turn makes Liu Xitong believe that Ge Pin died of arsenic poisoning.
Later, Liu Xitong brought in Cabbage for questioning, but Cabbage denied the poisoning, so he was brought back to the county court to be tortured. The tortured Xiaobai wrote a confession of poisoning Yang Naiwu and killing Ge Pin for adultery, so Liu Xitong needed to arrest Yang Naiwu. Yang Naiwu's status as a scholar made it necessary to go through many procedures to apprehend him. Although Yang Naiwu was eventually arrested and confessed under torture, his family did not give up on his case and went to the capital to lodge a complaint.
In Yang Naiwu's family's efforts, the case reached the Ministry of Justice, but also by the Ministry of Justice officials at the time of the discovery of suspicion, and because of the case in the people's influence is huge, the Beijing officials of Zhejiang Province, a joint petition to state that the suspicion, so that the empress of the two palaces to approve the re-investigation of the case request.
After that, the Ministry of Justice reopened the case, and once again opened the coffin, proving that Ge Pin was not poisoned, but died of disease. As for the original to Ge Pin corpse examination pallbearer also admitted that the original examination did not disinfect the silver needle eventually led to a misjudgment, and thus Yang Naiwu and Cabbage was wrongly accused of the truth, the case lasted four years and finally come to an end.
