Chapter 40 The horse case in the mouths of the citizens of Sanjiangning is bizarre

"Neither Kuiyu nor Mei Qizhao mentioned Zhang Wenxiang's visit to General Shi Temple to ask for a signature." Zeng Guofan frowned after listening to Peng Yulin's narration.The plot of stabbing the horse in the school field described by Peng Yulin is roughly the same as that described by Kui, Mei and other officials, but they did not mention the matter of asking for a lottery. "Maybe it's because the word 'general' involves Kuiyu." Peng Yulin smiled faintly. "A few days later, Zhang Zhiwan came to Jiangning from Qingjiangpu, and cooperated with Kuiyu to handle the case. It was rumored in the Yamen that Zhang Wenxiang was a thief who slipped through the net and came to take revenge. But," Peng Yulin lowered his voice, "Jiangning City There are many legends about this case, and it is quite different from what is said in the yamen. However, because no one is stationed in the city, the navy knows little about it, so it is better to ask some people to pretend to be ordinary people and go down to teahouses, restaurants, streets and alleys to listen. Listen, you can hear a lot of rumors."

Zeng Guofan nodded lightly, thinking: What rumors will there be in Jiangning City?It was late at night, and Peng Yulin got up to say goodbye.Zeng Guofan's relatives sent him to the door, and asked with concern: "How old is Yongzhao, is he in Zhajiang, or is he by your side?" "Seventeen years old during Chinese New Year, living in Zhajiang with my uncle and aunt." "Are you engaged?" "not yet." "Xueqin, let's continue the string, someone needs to take care of me!" Zeng Guofan persuaded cordially. "I don't have this idea anymore in this life. Once the scale of the Yangtze River Navy is in order, I will firmly ask for a vacancy. I will go back to Zhajiang for three years after my mother's funeral, and then I will live in Hangzhou for two years. After that, I will be in Zhajiang and Hangzhou. The two Tuishing Nunneries lived together for half a year, so as to end their remaining lives." Peng Yulin smiled wryly, Zeng Guofan was speechless.

"I ran into Mr. Hiroshiki in Jiujiang last year, and he said that I was an old monk in Nanyue in my previous life. No wonder I like living alone, like nunnery. "Peng Yulin stretched out his hands and made a helpless look. "You saw Hiroshiki, is he okay?" Zeng Guofan immediately thought of Wen Fu, and he disappeared for two or three years, so he didn't know how he was doing. "Mr. Hiroshiki is really a real person, the same as ten years ago." Zeng Guofan really wanted to tell Peng Yulin about Wen Fu, but he swallowed the words again. "Xueqin, Yongzhao is at a critical moment in his life's learning. Although Zha Jiang has an uncle to take care of him, he lacks a good teacher after all. You want him to come to Jiangning to study with Ji Hong. I will find a good teacher for them."

"Okay." Peng Yulin nodded gratefully. A few days later, Zhao Liewen, Xue Fucheng, Wu Rulun, Li Shuchang and others who were ordered to collect rumors about the Ma case in the market reported all kinds of bizarre stories about the case to Zeng Guofan. Zhao Liewen introduced the most widely spread one—— In the fifth year of Xianfeng, Ma Xinyi acted as the magistrate of Hefei, and was dismissed due to the fall of the county.Shi Fuji was the governor of Anhui and entrusted Ma to organize regiment training in Luzhou.One day, Ma Xinyi's regiment trained against the Nian army and was defeated, and Ma Xinyi was also captured alive.The leader of this Nian army is Zhang Wenxiang.Zhang Wenxiang has two sworn brothers: the second brother Cao Erhu, and the third brother Shi Jinbiao.

Cao Erhu is good at physiognomy.After seeing Ma Xinyi, he quietly said to Zhang Wenxiang: "Brother, this man surnamed Ma has a very good face and bones. He will be blessed with a high-ranking official in the future. The inside of the twister is torn apart. It doesn't look like a climate. Why don't we use the man surnamed Ma to change the family. " Zhang Wenxiang said: "The man surnamed Ma was captured by us and hated us to death. How can we use his strength?" "Brother, treat each other with courtesy first, and see how he responds." Shi Jinbiao also agreed with Cao Erhu's opinion.

Zhang Wenxiang loosened Ma Xinyi's bondage and hosted a feast for him.Ma was a smart man, saw the change, and persuaded Zhang Wenxiang to submit to the court.Zhang Wenxiang said: "Our brothers have long wanted to surrender, but no one recommended them." "It's up to me!" Ma Xinyi was overjoyed. "Fu Zhongcheng and I have a very good personal relationship, and you both have martial arts. As long as you are willing to surrender, you will definitely be reused. In the future, we will be promoted and get rich, and we will share the wealth." "We followed you to the imperial court, will you think highly of us in the future?" Shi Jinbiao was steady, thinking more deeply.

"Mr. Shi, let's see where you are going!" Ma Xinyi answered immediately, "You are all righteous men, and my surname Ma will rely on you to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds in the future. There is only the principle of respect and love, and I will never look down upon you! " "Then you have to swear in front of all our brothers!" Zhang Wenxiang said seriously. "Okay!" Ma Xinyi readily agreed.His life was in Zhang Wenxiang's hands at this moment, and he would be grateful if he didn't kill him, not to mention taking a batch of surrendered Nian soldiers back. What should he be asked to do at this time, would he disagree?It happened that a dog was gnawing on a bone under the banquet table. Ma Xinyi pulled out a short knife from Zhang Wenxiang's waist and stabbed the dog fiercely. The dog screamed and ran away. "If I, Ma Xinyi, treat my brothers badly in the future, you can stab me to death like a dog like you did just now!"

Zhang Wenxiang agreed.The next day, the Nian army surrendered with Ma Xinyi.Ma Xinyi greatly exaggerated how he persuaded him to surrender in front of Fuji.Fuji praised him for his ability, and adapted the Nian army to practice bravery.Because Ma Xinyi named Gushan, the camp was named Shanziying, and Zhang Wenxiang became the battalion officer.Cao and Shi became sentry officers.Relying on the mountain camp, Ma Xinyi has repeatedly made military exploits and been promoted frequently.In the fourth year of Tongzhi, Qiao Songnian was the governor of Anhui, and Ma Xinyi had been promoted to the chief envoy.At that time, the Shanzi camp was abolished, Shi Jinbiao returned home to be a rich man, Zhang Wenxiang and Cao Erhu stayed with Ma Xinyi, and Ma really treated them like brothers.

Soon after, Cao Erhu brought his wife, Mrs. Zheng, to Anqing, and Ma Xinyi and his wife hosted a banquet in the feudal yamen.Cao Erhu happily accepted the banquet with his well-dressed wife.Unexpectedly, when Ma saw Zheng's beauty, he became vicious.This Ma Xinyi was originally a fisherman, and his family was not satisfied with one wife and two concubines.From then on, he often changed his tricks?He tricked Zheng into entering the feudal office.Seeing that Ma Xinyi is a high-ranking official with a generous salary and good looks, Mrs. Zheng is also willing.From then on, Ma often sent Cao Erhu to work in other places.As soon as Cao left, the Zheng family lived in the feudal office.Ma's wives and concubines are afraid of him, so let him do whatever he wants.

Zhang Wenxiang took all this into his eyes, and was very dissatisfied with Ma Xinyi's scandalous behavior of seizing a friend's wife, so he quietly told Erhu.When the two tigers heard this, they were so angry that they wished to kill Mrs. Zheng with one blow. Zhang Wenxiang persuaded: "The culprit is Ma Xinyi. If you don't kill him, but kill your own wife first, it is unreasonable. And if you catch the adulterer, there is no evidence to kill your wife. In the end, you will have to die." Cao Erhu bowed his head and thought for a long time, then said: "If you don't catch the double, there is no reason to kill the horse; if you catch the traitor, the feudal administration will be heavily guarded, how can I catch it!"

Zhang Wenxiang said: "Since this is the case, why don't you just give the Zheng family to Ma Xinyi, and you can marry another one." At night, Cao Erhu said to Mrs. Zheng, there are rumors in the market that you have an affair with Ma Fantai.After hearing this, Zheng cried and made noises, but denied it.Erhu then became suspicious of Zhang Wenxiang's words.A few days later, Ma Xinyi said to Cao Erhu: "Erhu, I love brothers with you. How can you listen to the instigation of outsiders? When you go out, the Zheng family is deserted, and sometimes you go to the office to chat with women. What's wrong? Don’t doubt your wife indiscriminately.” Cao Erhu made sense after thinking about it.After Zhang Wenxiang learned about it, he knew that the catastrophe of the two tigers was not far away. Half a month later, Ma sent Cao to lead the fire at Xu Chi, the commander-in-chief of Shouchun Town, and promised a big reward after the event was completed.Cao readily agreed.Zhang Wenxiang said to him: "Xu Chi is stationed in Shouzhou, six or seven hundred miles away from Anqing, there may be accidents on the way, I will go with you!" Cao Erhu didn't think so, but thanked Zhang Wenxiang for his kindness, and they went to Shouzhou together.All the way without incident, the two arrived smoothly.The next day, the two tigers went to the Zongbing Yamen to handle errands.As soon as the article was posted, the officer in Shouchun Township came out with an arrow in his hand and shouted, "Tie up Cao Erhu!" Cao Erhu asked why in surprise.The Chinese military officer said: "You have not changed your nature as a thief, and you secretly communicated with the bandits. You led the army to help them. Someone reported you at Mafantai. We are ordered by Mafantai, that is, to do it according to military law." After all, Cao Erhu was not allowed to argue, so he was tied to Shicao and killed.When Zhang Wenxiang got the news and rushed to Shicao, the two tigers were dead.He buried the two tigers and cried: "Second brother, it was the elder brother who harmed you, and the elder brother avenged you!" Since then, Zhang Wenxiang lived in seclusion away from Anhui.He specially made two waist knives out of fine steel, and quenched them with poison. As long as the tip of the knives scratches a little flesh, the person will die without salvation.Zhang Wenxiang practiced vigorously in the dead of night.He covered a target with cowhide and stabbed it with a knife.At the beginning, only two leathers could be pierced through. Two years later, with one stabbing, five leathers were pierced immediately.Zhang Wenxiang felt that his kung fu was perfect, so he followed Ma Xinyi with these two waist knives.When Ma Xinyi was transferred to Zhejiang Fu, he also went to Zhejiang; when transferred to Fujian Governor, he went to Fujian;This time Ma Xinyi assessed the Wuben month class, and Yu Ji had issued a notice thirty or twenty days ago, giving Zhang Wenxiang sufficient preparation time, and finally realized his long-cherished wish, so he killed without regret. The rumor relayed by Zhao Liewen fascinated everyone. They secretly praised the assassin as a hero with deep loyalty, and were very indignant at Ma Xinyi's ugly behavior behind the surface of a gentleman.Zeng Guofan also thought to himself that this kind of thing can only be seen in ancient times, and it is almost extinct today.Then, Wu Rulun told another rumor, which was even more unbelievable. Ma Xinyi is a member of the Hui nationality, and he believed in heavenly teachings since he was a child.Tianfang religion is Islam.People in the Ming Dynasty called Arabia Tianfang, and Islam was founded in Arabia, so it was called Tianfang religion.The Qing Dynasty followed the old name of the Ming Dynasty.Father Ma is the leader of the Hui people in Heze County, and has always had a close relationship with the Hui people in Xinjiang.When Ma was an official in Anhui, when he fought against the Taiping Army and the Nian Army, his military pay and money were helped by the Muslims in Xinjiang.Later, Ma was transferred to Zhejiang Fu, and in the process of eradicating bandits along the coast of Zhejiang, he was also funded by the Hui Ministry of Xinjiang.Therefore, Ma has always been grateful to the Hui Ministry in Xinjiang. There is a guard beside Ma, named Xu Yi, who is also from Heze, Shandong Province. He is very good at martial arts, and Ma thinks highly of him.This Xu Yi was originally a subordinate of Li Shixian, the servant of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and he was a close friend of Zhang Wenxiang, a native of Henan.Xu Yi and Zhang Wenxiang have been in the Taiping Army for a long time, and they have a clear understanding of the disadvantages, and they have long thought about surrendering to the court.In the second year of Tongzhi, Xu Yi and Zhang Wenxiang followed Li Shixian to guard Ningbo.When the city of Ningbo was broken, the two fled with some money, and broke up after arriving in Hangzhou.Xu Yi later took refuge in Ma Xinyi, and Zhang Wenxiang returned to Ningbo after going around many places, and lived there.In the fourth year of Tongzhi, Zhang Wenxiang heard that his old friend came to Zhejiang with Ma Xinyi, so he made a special trip to Hangzhou to visit.Xu Yi warmly entertained Zhang Wenxiang, and the two got drunk and smoked.When Zhang was about to toast with Xu Qian again, Xu shook his head and asked with a breath of alcohol, "Brother Zhang, do you think people's hearts in this world are unpredictable?" Zhang tilted his head, his face was purple and red, the cup in his hand was still held high, and he squinted his eyes and replied, "How can it be unpredictable? It's like between you and my brothers, each other's thoughts are clear, what are you thinking?" I know, and I'll tell you what I'm going to do." Xu shook his head again: "Brother Zhang, of course we have nothing to say between you and me. It's hard to guess the hearts of officials, especially high officials, who have dozens more hearts than our brothers. Just like Ma Zhongcheng, his behavior , is what our brothers cannot imagine." Seeing Zhang Wenxiang looking at him with drunken eyes, Xu Yi moved his mouth closer and said to Zhang's face, "Brother Zhang, I'll tell you a top-secret strange thing. Don't tell others after you hear it." Zhang Wenxiang nodded indiscriminately. "The day before yesterday, Ma Zhongcheng received an imperial edict from King Hui of Xinjiang. The edict said that the soldiers of the Hui Ministry had already decided to go to Xinjiang, and they would go east soon. The Weiqing would take care of the conquest in Zhejiang. After Ma Zhongcheng got the letter, he returned, and several provinces in the southeast, Give it all to someone like Ma." When Zhang Wenxiang heard this, he put the wine glass in his hand on the table and cursed: "Isn't this a traitor and a traitor? I want to kill him!" "Keep your voice down!" Xu Mang covered Zhang's mouth with his hands. "You say, is this person unpredictable? It is unimaginable for Ma Zhongcheng to betray the imperial court, surrender and return to the Ministry after becoming such a high-ranking official. " After all, the two continued to drink.After Zhang Wenxiang lived in Hangzhou for a few days, he returned to Ningbo and opened a small betting shop in Ningbo. What does the small shop do?It's actually a small pawnshop.If the nearby people can't turn over money for a while, they take some real things as collateral.Go change some money.When it comes to repaying the money, one thousand cash plus one hundred and two hundred interest is much higher than that of a big pawn shop.But big pawn shops do not charge small items, and poor families can only turn to small pawn shops for help.Zhang Wenxiang opened a small betting shop with his wife and children, and his life was very difficult, and he was already very unhappy. Unexpectedly, Ma Xinyi announced the banning of the small betting shop, and he was almost prevented from living.Zhang Wenxiang's anger was no small matter. Remembering Xu Yi's words about secretly going back to the Ministry and plotting to rebel, he decided to kill Ma Xinyi, not only to eliminate harm for the country, but also to vent his anger for himself.In this way, after waiting for several years, he met the opportunity to review the class in the school field, and stabbed the enemy to death with one knife.During the interrogation, Mei Qizhao, the feudal official, sat on the ground in a big way, and asked him to kneel, but he refused, and asked who was sitting in the hall.The yamen servant told him that he was a fan, and he smiled and said: "The fan, a small official, is not enough to interrogate me. I have a top-secret matter to tell, and I will not tell it unless the general comes." Mei Qizhao was embarrassed and had no choice but to invite Kuiyu.After Kuiyu came, Zhang Wenxiang said: "Please send troops to surround the governor's office and order all family members to leave, and I will tell you again." Kuiyu got angry and scolded: "This is a madman, don't pay attention to him!" Zhang Wenxiang laughed loudly: "I'm a lunatic, you don't need to interrogate me, just kill me!" Mei Qizhao pulled Kuiyu aside and said, "General, please don't get angry, even if he is crazy, listen to what he has to say." As a result, all irrelevant personnel withdrew, leaving only Kuiyu, Mei Qizhao, and Zhang Wenxiang.Only then did Zhang Wenxiang speak out about the eradication of a large group of bandits for the country.Kui and Mei were dumbfounded after hearing this.After a while, Kuiyu slapped the table and shouted, "You are slandering me!" "General, please don't scold me." Zhang Wenxiang said calmly, "You personally take someone to search Ma Xinyi's bedroom. If you don't get back the king's false edict, you can cut me into pieces." Kuiyu and Mei Qizhao looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do. In the end, they didn't dare to search Ma Xinyi's bedroom. Wu Rulun told this rumor so vividly that the listeners were amazed.Zeng Guofan smiled slightly: "This is really a strange overseas story. After Ma Gushan's death, he still has to be blamed for conspiracy to rebel. It's pitiful!" After speaking, he asked Xue Fucheng and Li Shuchang, "Have you heard anything else?" Li Shuchang said: "What I heard is another theory." He also told a story in a hurry. The assassin Zhang Wenxiang was from Ruyang, Henan.In the 29th year of Daoguang, Zhang Wenxiang became a seller and bought a batch of felt hats, and went to Ningbo, Zhejiang to sell them.In Ningbo, I got acquainted with Luo Fashan, a fellow villager, and later married Luo's daughter, and had one son and two daughters.The son's name is Changfu, the eldest daughter's name is Baozhen, and the second daughter's name is Xiuzhen.During the Xianfeng period, Zhang Wenxiang opened a small betting shop and hired a helper named Chen Yanghe.In November of the 11th year of Xianfeng, the Taiping Army came to Ningbo. Zhang Wenxiang packed the clothes, silver taels and several hundred foreign money at home and gave them to his wife Luo Shi, asking her to take their children out of the city to seek refuge. Zhang Wenxiang and Chen Yanghe guarded the store. It happened that Zhang Wenxiang had a fellow villager, Chen Shilong, who served as the guard of the rear battalion in the Taiping Army.When the Taiping Army captured Ningbo, Chen Shilong sent several soldiers to protect Zhang Wenxiang's small shop, and put a flag of the Taiping Heavenly Flag at the door, and posted a notice, so Zhang Wenxiang's shop was safe.Soon, Chen Shilong withdrew from Ningbo and took Zhang Wenxiang and Chen Yanghe into the army.When fighting Shajia Village, Zhuji County, Chen Shilong died in battle, Zhang Wenxiang, Chen Yanghe fled in a hurry, and went to the Ministry of Li Shixian, the servant king, and then moved to various places with Li Shixian.In September of the third year of Tongzhi, Zhang Wenxiang captured a general of the Qing court named Shi Jinbiao in Zhangzhou.Shi Jinbiao was also from Henan, and Zhang Wenxiang fled with Shi Jinbiao when he saw that the Taiping Army was in danger.Later, Jin Biao was recommended to work in Ma Xinyi's office, and Zhang Wenxiang returned to Ningbo by sea.At this time, his wife Luo Shi had already lived with a man named Wu Bingxie, and the box of money also belonged to Wu.Zhang Wenxiang reported to the officials, and the county magistrate forfeited Luo's family to Zhang, and the money was forfeited to Wu. Zhang Wenxiang was dissatisfied and had no money, so he turned to his former cronies Wang Laosi and others for help.Wang Laosi introduced Zhang to Long Qiyun.Long Qiyun had connections with pirates, he gave Zhang Wenxiang a sum of money, Zhang reopened a small betting shop, and sold the stolen goods on behalf of Long for profit. In the first month of the fifth year of Tongzhi, Ma Xinyi, the governor of Zhejiang, went to Ningbo on patrol.Zhang Wenxiang wanted to use the power of the governor to subdue Wu Bingxie and force him to hand over the money, so he stopped the public and called for accusations.Seeing that it was such a trivial matter, Ma Xinyi threw the certificate out of the sedan chair, ordered the sedan chair to be picked up, and let Zhang shout from behind, ignoring him.Wu Bingxie was very proud when he learned about it, and ridiculed Zhang Wuneng everywhere, and took this opportunity to seduce Luo Shi away.Zhang then filed a complaint with the county government.After being approved, Luo Shi was chased back, and Luo Shi was forced to commit suicide.A few days later, Long Qiyun and Wang Laosi invited Zhang Wenxiang to drink.After a few glasses of wine, Zhang Wenxiang's resentment broke out, and the governor ignored him when he sued. "Brother Zhang!" Long Qiyun patted Zhang Wenxiang on the shoulder and said provocatively, "There is nothing more shameful for a man than his wife being taken over by others. The one who secretly supported Wu Bingxie was Ma Xinyi. You made a fool of yourself on the spot and grew Wu Bingxie's arrogance." "Ma Xinyi is really not a thing!" Wang Laosi also cursed while drinking. "Go forward to capture Third Brother Long. Although we didn't catch him, the deal of 30,000 taels of silver was blown away, and several brothers died." "I wish I could kill that bastard!" Long Qiyun was furious. "It's just that I'm not good at martial arts. I've heard for a long time that brother Zhang is good at martial arts, and he is also the most loyal hero in the world. How about you avenging us?" "Okay, I'll take care of this!" Zhang Wenxiang quickly tore off his shirt, revealing his chest covered with black hair, and patted his chest twice with his right hand. "Anyway, I'm a man at the end of his life. I don't want to risk my life. I express this grievance for myself and my brothers. I will kill the man surnamed Ma!" Long Qiyun was overjoyed: "Brother Zhang is indeed a righteous man, and we will not treat you badly. I will bring three thousand taels of silver tomorrow. You can settle down and go to work without any worries." The next day, Long Qiyun really handed over three thousand taels of silver.Zhang Wenxiang invited Luo's widowed sister-in-law, Luo Wang, to take care of his underage son and two daughters on his behalf. He didn't keep any of the three thousand taels of silver, and gave all the money to Luo Wang, and made a bow to Luo Wang. , and then left home, it was a bit like "the wind is rustling, the water is cold, and the strong man will never return when he is gone". In order to be sure of the assassination, Zhang Wenxiang lived in seclusion in a mountain village. He got up in the middle of the night every day, burned incense a few steps away, and threw the dagger at the incense fire, and the fire was extinguished.A year later, Xianghuo shot every shot within ten steps.Two years later, Xianghuo shot every shot within twenty steps.Three years later, Xianghuo shot every shot within thirty steps.Zhang Wenxiang knew that his kung fu was perfect, so he went out to look for Ma Xinyi.At this time, Ma was transferred to Jiangdu, and he also visited Shi Jinbiao who was working beside Ma. During the interview with Shi Jinbiao, he learned that Ma Xinyi was going to take a martial arts exam at the school on July 25, so he chose to do it at the school. .On the fifth day after the accident, Shi Jinbiao asked for leave and went back to his hometown because of the loss of his mother. After Li Shuchang finished speaking, Zeng Guofan nodded lightly: "How credible is the story told by Chun Zhai?" Then he asked Xue Fucheng: "What other good stories have you heard, let everyone listen to it!" Xue Fucheng smiled and said: "In Jiangning City, the number one thing that people are interested in is stabbing horses - Zhang Wenxiang assassinated Ma Xinyi, and even the scholars who came to Jiangning to participate in the rural examination have no intention of reading and writing. There are various legends, some of which are well-defined , Some are absurd. I have heard what the first three people said intermittently, and there are other theories. Some say that Ma Zhijun forced Zhang Wenxiang’s wife to death, and Zhang Wenxiang deliberately took revenge; some say that Ma Zhijun Zhang Wenxiang was one of the four gangsters who had acquaintances when he was young. After Ma Zhijun made his fortune, Zhang Wenxiang and others joined the camp to serve themselves. Ma Zhijun was afraid that the current affairs would be exposed, so he conspired to murder Zhang Wenxiang and the other four. Zhang escaped by chance, and the other Three people were killed, and Zhang avenged his friends. There is also a saying that Zhang Wenxiang was the leader of the Nian bandits, and all 800 men in his army were able to fight, and they repeatedly defeated the horse army. The horse made a blood alliance oath. Unexpectedly, all 800 of his subordinates were killed by the horse after the surrender. Zhang escaped by chance and forged a bloody feud with the Ma Zhijun. It is also said that Zhang slipped through the net and grew hairy, and wanted to avenge his destroyed heaven. "Yesterday, I went to the Confucius Temple. There was a pink plaque in the Shengzhou teahouse, and it was written: Yue Mei'e, the number one golden voice in Suzhou, sang the long commentary "Jinling Killing the Horse". I was amazed: the case is still under trial, how to comment Come out? I went into the teahouse and saw that all the teahouses were full, and the business was more than ten times more prosperous than before. Dr. Tea took me around for a long time before finding a seat.A girl of eighteen or nineteen was playing and singing, and I was fascinated by it after listening to it for an hour.According to the Tanci, Zhang Wenxiang's wife was raped and forced to death by Ma Zhijun. He swore revenge and chased him from Hangzhou to Fuzhou, and then from Fuzhou to Jiangning. He failed six times, but this time is the seventh time. Bless you, you can achieve what you want.The writer of Tanci was completely on the side of Zhang Wenxiang, saying that Ma Zhijun was useless, and the people also took the opportunity to vent their grievances against the government, saying that Zhang Wenxiang was a good man.Some people came forward to solicit donations for Zhang Wenxiang on the spot, wanting to build a tomb and carve a stele for him, but quite a few people donated money.Really weird! " "My lord, what Shu Yun said is good, this is a strange thing." Zhao Liewen said after some thought; "From my point of view, there are two things to blame: one is the fact that Zhang stabbed the horse itself, and the other is why the rumors are so So much, so strange. What does it mean?" Zhao Liewen's question resonated with everyone, and Zeng Guofan was also thinking deeply: the Jin case not long ago and the current Ma case are two completely different cases.There are tens of thousands of people involved, and the murderer is not easy to catch. It seems complicated, but the cause, nature, and right and wrong of the case are clear and clear. It is tricky because it involves foreigners.There are only two people involved in one, and the murderer is caught on the spot. The surface is very simple, but the reason behind it is unfathomable. In the future, if you make a mistake somewhere, you will fall into the abyss, not only will you be crushed, but you may even be killed. People like Ma Xinyi have a lot of bad reputations that can't be washed away or justified.While thinking about it, the soldiers came in and reported: "Master Zhang is visiting." "Please!" Zeng Guofan said as he got up and walked out the door.
