What was the outcome of the sensational soul calling case in the Qing Dynasty, which even the king p

In the end, because there were too many unjust cases in this "soul" case, and then many people wrote to the emperor together, and the emperor stopped all the actions about the "soul" case.

There is a folk magic technique called "soul", and the use of "soul" is to have a stonemason put a piece of paper with someone's name written on it on top of a stake while workingThe stonemason can curse the owner of the name of the piece of paper by striking the stake with a hammer while working, and the cursed person will die or become seriously ill in the near future.

The outbreak of the "soul" case was triggered by a man named Shen Shiliang at that time, Shen Shiliang had two nephews who disrespected him and abused him in ordinary life, he had a grudge against the two nephews, and one day he heard the word "soul" from others, so he went to Wu Dongming, a stonemason, to help put the names of his two nephews on the top of the stake when he was working, so as to take revenge on his two nephews.

And Wu Dongming had heard a little about this "soul" method, and knew that it was illegal to do so, and it might even bring trouble to himself, so Wu Dongming told the government that Shen Shiliang wanted to use the "soul" method to take revenge on his two nephews, and then Shen Shiliang was arrested and sent to the government to beat 25 boards, and warned him not to touch these crooked ways.

But later Wu Dongming's fellow villagers also went to Wu Dongming to help him with the "soul" method, Wu Dongming saw that it was the face of the townsman who helped him, who knew that he was exposed by the informant, and the people of the yamen detained Wu Dongming, and at the same time the "soul" case was also exposed in various places, and even the "soul" law appeared in the palace, and Kangxi's eldest son used the "soul" method to curse the prince to help him ascend to the throne as soon as possibleBecause it was a national case, Qianlong also came out to control the overall situation and personally came to review the "soul" case.

However, after a special investigation of the "soul" case, it was found that many of the "soul" cases were deliberately created by some local ** people who wanted to invite credit, because countless people in these "soul" cases were unjustly killed, because some ** of the "soul" case were removed from their official positions, and then the ** of the investigation wrote to Qianlong together, requesting that the investigation of the soul case be withdrawn, and Qianlong also felt that the nationwide outbreak of the "soul" case was a bit strange, so he accepted the suggestion of ** to stop the search of the "soul" case.

This thing is, of course, fake, just a little trick played by those ignorant people.

In the end, it was all artificial, not really a soul, and finally the king stopped censorship.

In the end, a lot of bad things happened, so the trial was stopped.

Because ancient kings were particularly taboo about this kind of case, this is similar to witchcraft.

In the feudal era, people were superstitious, sometimes the child was frightened, and the warlock would "call the soul" to appease the child's emotions, and later some people called "the soul of the wronged soul", killing many people, and becoming a big strange case in the Qing Dynasty, but the feudal superstition is not credible, and there will be an unknown secret behind it!

And after Qianlong found out, he was also frightened by these insidious and vicious methods. I even feel that my body is skinny, and my parents are "calling the soul a small thing, and cutting a hair is a big thing", and even the remnants of the previous dynasty will cause trouble with the slogan "Anti-Qing and Restoration of Sight". In a fit of anger, he ordered that all those involved in this matter be killed, and naturally there were too many people involved behind this, and countless people died for it.

It was a beggar who begged from Deqing County to Hangzhou, and was sent to the government by the locals because of his suspicious appearance. After some torture, the beggar lied that he could use a charm to take away the child's soul. The crowd who were listening at the scene panicked and rushed to shout.

At first, it was caused by maintenance disputes, and later it was used by people with bad intentions, and the county officials did not act and did not refute the rumors in time, plus the people were illiterate and uneducated, and the secret folds of the local ** to the heavens were not sent, and one item contributed to the widespread involvement.

This case occurred during the Qianlong period, and at that time, Deqing County, Zhejiang Province needed to build a stone bridge, so the government handed over the task to a very famous local stonemason, wanting him to build a durable stone bridgeWhen the stonemason was about to start work, a good friend of his came over, but they did not have close contact with each other on weekdays, so the stonemason asked him the purpose of the trip, and the friend told him the purpose.

Because there was a rumor at the time that the hands of stonemasons could act as a curse, and it happened that his friend's nephew was very bad to him, because his friend had no children and no daughters, and wanted to pass on all his property to his nephew, so that they could support him in the future, but his nephew did not come according to the previous agreement, so he thought of this method to curse his nephew.

The stonemason didn't believe this rumor at all, so he decisively rejected him, but his friend was still stalking here, so he couldn't send him to the government, and the government beat his friend 20 boards and sent him back, but the matter was not over.

Later, another beggar lied that he could use a charm to take away the child's soul, although this matter was later suppressed by the government, but the common people at that time did not think so, and as soon as it was passed on to the hundreds, there was a later soul case, and the turmoil intensified, and it can be said that the situation has been completely out of control.

Then Qianlong at that time was furious, and ordered a thorough investigation, and did not know if he did not investigateMore than 10,000 people from 12 provinces were involved in this case, and more than 10,000 people lost their lives as a result.

This matter is widely implicated, and Dorgon's regulations on shaving hair in the middle of the period have left sequelae, which is the trigger for the soul-calling case.

This was originally a very small case, but then everyone thought of keeping their hair without leaving their heads, and keeping their heads without leaving their hair, and it turned out to be like this.

This matter is to blame on Dolgon, keep your head without hair, keep your hair without your head, Dolgon's policy is absurd, and its impact on later generations has continued until the Qianlong period.

In fact, the soul case was the policy adopted by Dorgon back then, which led to being used as a pretext.

The sequelae of the policy of "keeping your head without hair, leaving your hair without leaving your head" adopted by the regent Dolgon at that time have not been quelled even in the Qianlong period. As a result, some people were given the opportunity to play on the topic, which also became the inducement for the development and growth of this incident.

The world is so big that there are no surprises

Under the influence of the above factors, the Qing Dynasty was caused byThis soul-calling case killed tens of thousands of people before it was quelled

Shen Shiliang is a wealthy businessmanBut he had no children and no daughters, so he planned to give his family property to his only two nephewsBut after these two nephews got Shen Shiliang's Wanguan family wealth, they had a disgust for Shen Shiliang, and they didn't want to support this burden anymore, so Shen Shiliang decided to punish them severely, and he didn't have this ability, so he handed over the task of punishing his nephew to the witchcraft.

Although Wu Stonemason did not accept Shen Shiliang's request, Shen Shiliang was entangled with Wu Stonemason, and later Wu Stonemason sued Shen Shiliang to the official mansion. At that time, ** thought it was just a personal dispute, so he let Wu Mason and Shen Shiliang out after a few beatings. However, trouble ensued, because the spread of these cases led to more and more people adding fuel to the fire, and also made more and more people believe in the witchcraft that was said in this case.

Later, this matter was reported to Qianlong's ears, and Qianlong felt very angry, so he ordered a strict investigation. After the investigation, it was found that the number of people affected by this soul-calling case had reached tens of thousands, and he had to accept the advice of the people below to stop the investigation and kill all the people involved at that time.

At first, it was just a small case, but later it became a big problem because of the issue of cutting hair, which reminded everyone of the political issue of keeping your head and not keeping your hair.

The sequelae of the policy of "keeping your head but not your hair, and keeping your hair without leaving your head" adopted by Wang Dolgon has also become a huge impact on the development of this incident.

This is because the spiritualist cases that were widely circulated among the people also became more and more outrageous later, and they involved the royal family.

This was mainly a pretext used by the rulers of the time to suppress the people.

This may have been just an excuse for the rulers at the time, and the real reason was most likely the suppression of their own opponents.

In the Qianlong Dynasty, there was a case in Zhejiang, the parties to the case were stonemason Wu Dongming, and the medicine picker Mu Fangzhou, Wu stonemason's fellow farmer, after roughly the stonemason Wu Dongming opened the water gate in Deqing, and needed to drive several wooden piles into the riverbed, at this time Mu Fangzhou will write the enemy's eight-character paper bag for the stonemason to order into the wooden pile, with this "method" to curse the enemy forever can not turn over, and then Wu stonemason's fellow villagers also asked him to pile the enemy's name into the river. Later, the East Window Incident occurred and was sued by the Yamen, and since then the nationwide "soul-calling" case has broken out for a while, and many similar cases have been found on a large scale across the country, which also shows the ignorance of people at that time.

This should have been a cover on the part of the ruler, or it could have been a kind of killing by the ruler at the time against an evenly matched enemy.

Find an excuse to kill more to make room for your own people.

I think this is probably a reason for the ruler to deliberately find a reason to kill, just to silence the people.

There was a country man who wanted to build a stone bridge, and some people were superstitious and asked the stonemason who repaired the bridge to hammer the talisman with the name of the person when he repaired the bridge, but the stonemason refused to do so, and went to sue the official, and later this person was arrested. Qianlong was frightened because many similar cases of feudal superstition were reported after that.

The reason is that the people are very superstitious, thinking that it is a ghost and god theory, and then it became more and more serious, and there was no way Qianlong came forward to investigate, and found that someone was playing ghosts.

The soul calling case is actually a trick, but Qianlong was so frightened that he felt very embarrassed, so he blocked the news.

At that time, the case was very mysterious, and the facts of the case were relatively complicated, the implication was relatively extensive, and the consequences were relatively serious, so it was not made public.

This matter is very strange and very mysterious, and the reason behind it has not been made public, so it is a mysterious event.

At that time, science and technology were not developed, and the people were overly feudal and superstitious, so this case is very mysterious, and I believe that if it is placed today, there will be a more reasonable explanation.

At that time, it may have been a trick, but the technology at that time was not developed, so it could only be handled according to ghosts, and this kind of thing was not solved later.

It was said that the case was very serious at that time, and it was all kept secret, and everyone knew nothing.

The cause was a witchcraft in the Jiangnan region, which led to rumors in the palace, and the emperor was furious and directly beheaded tens of thousands of people. Because the people at that time were very ignorant and listened to rumors.

The so-called soul case is a lie made up by people with a heart to take advantage of the ignorance of ordinary people, because of the inaction of **, in the end, the lie intensified and gradually got out of control, because there were too many people involved, resulting in tens of thousands of people losing their lives.

Because at that time, it was said that they could summon spirits and then torture souls, and this rumor spread ten times to hundreds, and finally caused many people to believe it, and then tens of thousands of people were killed.
