In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, such a strange thing happened in Kaifeng Mansion: there was a wealthy merchant in the city named Sun Buer, who opened a grain store and had branches all over Henan. And because he was kind and kind, he helped the poor and was known as Sun Dashan.

That day, Sun Dashanren had just come out of the Guandi Temple to burn incense when he met a beggar. Strange to say, when the beggar saw Sun Shanren, he first got excited, and then his eyes stared straight at him, like two iron hooks, hoping to hook out his internal organs.

Sun Shanren looked at the beggar carefully, but he didn't know him, so he thought he was begging for money, so he took out a tael of silver and handed it over. Who knew that the beggar's hand was blocked, but he still stared at Sun Shanren with the previous, next, left, and right glances, looking at the posture and wanting to swallow him alive.

Sun Shanren was really timid, turned his head and trotted away.

After running for a long time, he turned around a corner and saw that the beggar did not catch up. Sun Shanren squatted down and leaned against the corner to catch his breath. At that moment, he saw two mud feet on the ground. He looked up and saw the beggar standing in front of him, still staring at him.

Sun Shanren still wanted to run, but his legs and stomach were trembling in shock, so he couldn't move half a step! At this moment, the beggar suddenly knelt down and hugged Sun Shanren's legs, crying loudly.

The crying attracted many people. Seeing a beggar crying to death with Sun Shanren in his arms, he hurriedly asked what was going on. Sun Shanren said he didn't know him at all.

When Sun Shanren heard this, he took out five silver taels of white flowers, and the beggar took the silver unceremoniously.

Just when people thought all was well, Qiqiao suddenly threw silver on the ground, then knelt down and hugged Sun Shanren's legs and continued to cry.

The two young descendants couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to fight: "You beggar, I shouldn't owe you one, and I don't owe you two. It's a great kindness to give you five taels of silver, don't tell me you still want other people's grain lines!"

The two descendants were angry, but they didn't expect the beggar to jump up and say, "Yes, I just want grain!"

The two descendants laughed and poked the beggar's forehead with their hands: "You are afraid that you are crazy about money, come on, let's teach this greedy guy a lesson!"

Sun Shanren hurriedly stopped everyone and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, let's ask again, why does he want my grain line?" The descendants stopped and their eyes focused on the beggar.

The beggar looked unhurriedly at the crowd, then pointed to Sun Shanren and said, "Why? He is my father!"

The descendants were stunned in the local area, and Sun Shanren was even more confused. Still, an elderly person did things safely, and an old gray man asked, "How old are you this year?" The beggar said sixty.

As soon as the beggar's voice fell, everyone burst into laughter. What's going on? Because Sun Shanren is just fifty this year, do sixty people recognize fifty people as fathers? Pure nonsense! So he drove the beggar away with a punch and kick.

Sun Shanren thought it was over, but a few days later, he met a beggar on the street again. This time, the beggar did not cry, but followed from a distance. When he arrived at a secluded place, he came up and grabbed Sun Shanren's sleeve, saying he had something to give.

This matter has to be left to others to be furious: isn't it a curse to die to burn paper if you live well? But Sun Shanren was kind-hearted and did not investigate further, but went home with a dull head. After returning home, he fell ill.

The matter was far from over. A few days later, early in the morning, the man ran into the inner house in a panic and said that there was a coffin at the gate. The man also kept an eye out, because the old master was seriously ill and was afraid that it would be unlucky, so he told Sun Shanren's son Sun Hu directly.

Sun Hu was furious at the moment, and rushed out with a few guys armed with sticks. As expected, there was the beggar standing next to the coffin. Sun Hu pressed his anger and asked, "What do you want to do?"

The beggar said tepidly, "I don't do anything, I just want to send a coffin to my father, and it's not an exaggeration for my son to send it to my father!"

"Who is your father?" Sun Hu asked.

The beggar said, "Who else is Sun Shanren?"

"Bullshit!"   At that time, Sun Hu couldn't take it anymore and called his buddy: "Hit me, hit me to death!"

With the will of the young master, the guys swarmed with knives…

I don't know when Sun Shanren came out, he hurriedly stopped the guys, and then sent the beggar to the official residence.

The prefect asked the ins and outs, and was shocked: "Bold beggar, how dare you play so wild in broad daylight, come on, drag it down and hit fifty boards!"

The two servants picked up the beggar like a chicken. The beggar shouted anxiously, "Master Guan, I am wronged, I am wronged."

"Speak quickly, what grievances do you have?" The prefect stopped drinking. The beggar cried and knelt in the local area: "Master Guan, Sun Shanren is really my father."

"Nonsense!" The prefect interrupted the beggar, "Are there sixty sons and fifty fathers in the world? I think you want to rely on the family's property!" After saying that, he pushed the beggar to the ground and saw the big board raised. The beggar screamed: "Master, Sun Shanren is not my living father, but a dead father!"

"What, dead father? but obviously a big living person is standing in front of you!" The prefect has been trying cases all year round, and he has encountered strange things and strange things. This is the first time he has encountered such a case. He felt a little strange and asked: "You said Sun Shanren is your dead father, okay, I will give you a chance to state it. If you say the truth, it will be fine.

The beggar didn't say anything, and when he said it, everyone suddenly became monks in the temple, gaping at them.

It turned out that beggars were also Kaifeng people's family. In the early years, they bought candied haws with their father to spend their days. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng's rebels surrounded Kaifeng City for a year. At first, people ate cats and dogs and other animals after eating food. Later, they began to eat leaves and gnaw bark. Later, all the things that could be imported were eaten, and people began to eat people.

The beggar pointed to Sun Shanren and said, "My father hasn't died yet, but he was starving and fainted on the street, so he let him eat it alive!"

Looking at Sun Shanren again, he was already in cold sweat and his face was as white as paper. In a moment, Sun Shanren returned to normal, "You said I ate your father, do you have any evidence?"

The beggar lowered his head and thought for a while and said loudly, "Yes, it's on you!"

The beggar's words surprised everyone, why did he say that? Even if Sun Shanren really ate the beggar's father, he couldn't disembowel and verify it; taking a step back, even if he disemboweled his stomach after so many years, he couldn't verify it!

When the prefect encountered the first difficult case in his life, he asked the beggar: "You can be sure, otherwise it will be a framed accusation!"

At this time, Sun Shanren laughed: "If you find evidence from me, all the property will belong to you!"

The beggar said, "Okay, let's make a deal. If I can't find any evidence, I'll die in front of you!"

So Sun Shanren and the beggar signed and signed in front of the prefect.

This bizarre case had already alerted the whole city, and the people surrounding the trial were three layers inside and outside.

After signing and painting, the prefect urged the beggar: "Tell me, where is the evidence?"

The beggar looked at everyone, then at Sun Shanren, and said confidently: "When Sun Shanren ate my father, I was sick and powerless to stop me. In desperation, I bit off half of Sun Shanren's right foot's little finger. If you don't believe me, we can verify it in court."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes focused on Sun Shanren to see if he dared to verify.

To be honest, people really didn't believe that Sun Shanren would do such a wicked thing, but the truth quickly shattered the illusion, and they only heard Sun Shanren say weakly: "Stop it, I admit defeat, and I am willing to offer all my family property." After saying that, under the scornful eyes of everyone, he staggered to the door.

Perhaps Sun Shanren was too guilty, and perhaps Sun Shanren did not expect that the secret would leak after so many years. When he stepped on the threshold, he stumbled to the ground and happened to throw his shoes aside. At this time, people clearly saw that the five toes of Sun Shanren's right foot were intact.

Everyone is confused, the prefect is confused, and even the beggar is confused. Why did Sun Shanren put the shit basin on his head?

Finally, Sun Shanren told the truth: Sun Shanren had a twin brother who looked exactly the same. Back then, he ate a beggar's father. Later, his brother became seriously ill and told Sun Shanren the truth before his death, and asked him to pay his debts.

When the beggar said something about his right little finger, Sun Xiaoshanren understood everything and had the intention to donate his property to the beggar to pay off his debt. However, he was afraid that his son Sun Hu would not agree, so he came up with a trick - to sign and bet in front of the prefect.

The beggar did not want Sun Shanren's family property, because he respected Sun Shanren as a righteous businessperson.
