Fu was a rich merchant who went to Hangzhou every year to sell silk. He had an affair with a singer girl for many years. The singer girl’s foster mother was very unhappy and forbade her to see Fu. The singer girl was so angry that she hanged herself. Fu didn’t know about this. One day he met the ghost of the singer girl in a county town. The ghost said that she was abused by her foster mother and had to sue the government to become a free person, so she could come to him. She asked him if he would take her in. Fu was very happy, but he was afraid of his wife’s jealousy, so he built a room for her outside. The next year, he went to Hangzhou again to sell silk and heard about the singer girl’s death. He was very shocked. But he was already deeply in love and couldn’t get out. He also couldn’t tell right from wrong. He just muttered to himself. His wife finally found out his secret and was afraid that he would be killed by the ghost. Fu had a younger brother who was very brave. He and his sister-in-law decided to kill the ghost. They prepared wine and food and made Fu drink at night. Then they ambushed outside. Fu sat on the east side of the room, and the ghost of the singer girl sat on the west side. When they sat down, the brother took a knife and ran straight to the ghost’s position. When he got there, his hand accidentally touched the lamp and the lamp went out. He stabbed a knife in the dark and ran out. When they lit the candle, they found that Fu had bled to death on the chair. His wife didn’t see anything. The county magistrate arrested them and accused them of killing their husband and brother. They also interrogated them about their adultery. The case was not resolved for more than a year, and they didn’t know what the outcome was.
