Dou E's unfair story outline
The protagonist in Yuan is a poor woman in Chuzhou. Dou E's mother died when she was very young, and her father Dou was unable to pay her debts. Because he went to Beijing to catch the exam and lacked food expenses, he was sold to the lonely Cai family as a child bride. Not two years after arriving at Cai's home, her husband died of illness, leaving only her mother-in-law to live alone.
There is a rogue named Zhang Lver in Chuzhou who bullies Cai's mother-in-law. He and his father Zhang lived in Cai's house and forced Cai's mother-in-law to marry Zhang. Grandma Cai was timid and reluctantly agreed. Zhang Maolv threatened to marry him, but resolutely refused and scolded Zhang Maolv.
Zhang donkey bears a grudge. A few days later, Cai's mother-in-law became ill and asked her to make mutton soup. Zhang Lver secretly poisoned the soup, trying to poison Cai's mother-in-law first and then force her to get married. Dou E brought the mutton soup to Grandma Cai. Grandma Cai took the bowl and suddenly felt like vomiting. She didn't want to drink it, so she gave it to Zhang. Zhang was poisoned, rolled on the ground a few times and swallowed.
Zhang Lver poisoned his father, planted the murder charge on Dou E, and reported it to Chuzhou yamen.
Tao Xun, the magistrate of Chuzhou, is a corrupt official. He is corrupt and dishonest. He accepted a bribe from Zhang Lver behind his back, took Dou E to court for interrogation, and forced her to admit that she had poisoned him. Dou E suffered all kinds of torture. She was so miserable that she still refused to admit it.
Knowing that she was filial to her mother-in-law, she wanted to torture her mother-in-law Cai in front of Dou E. She felt that her mother-in-law was too old to stand this torture and had to confess.
Tao Xun, a corrupt official, beat Dou E to confession, sentenced her to death and took her to the execution ground for execution. Seeing that there was nowhere to redress grievances, Dou E angrily cursed Heaven and Earth: "Earth, what are you, good or evil?" ? Oh, my God, you are wrong! "At the time of execution, she made three wishes to heaven: first, the knife fell too far and all the blood spilled on Bai Lian; Second, it will snow heavily to cover her body; Third, let Chuzhou suffer from drought for three years. Dou E's oath really touched the world. It was rainy in June. After Dou E was killed, it was dark and snowy for a while. Next, there was a drought in Chuzhou for three years. Later, Dou E's father Dou became an official in Beijing. Dou E's unjust case was rehabilitated, the murderer Zhang Lver was executed, and the corrupt official Tao Xun was duly punished.
This drama is not necessarily a true story, but the snow in June is a mythical imagination. But it reflects the strong desire of countless people who suffered unfair treatment to seek revenge under feudal rule. Therefore, this drama has been loved and appreciated by people for thousands of years, and Guan Hanqing has also become a dramatist praised by the people.
