In the twelfth year of Tongzhi (1873), Bi Xiugu and Yang Naiwu were suspected of adultery and murder, and pleaded guilty after torture and were on death row. The case shocked the imperial court, and although they were cleared after several retrials, the tragic experience of the two people being tortured is still embarrassing. The case is known as one of the "Four Strange Cases" in the late Qing Dynasty.

Bi Xiugu was born in Bijiatang Village, Cangqian Town, Yuhang County in the sixth year of Xianfeng (1856), and her father Bi Chengxiang died early. When Bi Xiugu was 8 years old, her mother Bi Wang married Yu Jingtian, who was a poor grain worker in the county government, and was called "Yu Wang". The title "little cabbage" is not found in the historical materials of the time, and it is not used in the notes of the contemporaries or in the reports of the "Declaration".

According to research, this title is after the case is revealed, the creation of literary artists in literary and artistic works, many works are based on Bi Xiugu's like to wear a green gown, a white apron, and a delicate and agile person, so it is called "little cabbage", and because it is married to Ge Pinlian, who makes tofu, it is also called "tofu Shih".

Bi Xiugu's husband Ge Pinlian, whose milk name is Ge Xiaoda, is a native of Gejia Village, Cangqian Town. 's father, Ge Fenglai, died of illness at an early age, and his mother's surname was Yu, and Bi Xiugu's stepfather Yu Jingtian was a distant brother. Due to the war of the Taiping Army, the young Ge Pinlian was taken away by the Taiping Army, Ge Yushi was helpless, and was married by his brother, and remarried Shen Tiren, who was a farmer in Yuhang County, in the second year of Tongzhi (1863), and was called "Shen Yushi".

The following year, Ge Pinlian fled back, and his stepfather, Shen Tiren, recommended him to help in a tofu shop in the county seat.

Yu Jingtian and Shen Tiren's families lived next to each other, and when Bi Xiugu was 11 years old, Ge Pinlian's mother Shen Yushi discussed with Bi Xiugu's mother Yu Wang's family, planning to hire Bi Xiugu as Ge Pinlian's wife. Because both of their fathers are stepfathers, they don't care about their lifelong affairs, and their mothers are in charge.

In the tenth year of Tongzhi (1871), Bi Xiugu was 16 years old, and she was beautiful and fair-skinned. This is recognized in both the official report and the "Declaration" report. "Declaration" even said that Bi Xiugu was "beautiful and glamorous", "subject to capital punishment, but her lust has not faded", and Shen Yushi also repeatedly said that she was "beautiful in life" in his confession, which shows that Bi Xiugu's appearance is indeed beautiful.

In ancient times, a woman could marry at the age of 15. Yu Jingtian didn't care about it, but he wanted to take the opportunity to ask for more bride price, and said that he must have a new house to get married. Ge Pinlian had no money to meet these demands, and there was nothing he could do for a while.

Fortunately, Ge Pinlian had a stepmother, Feng Xu, who had a solid family, so he went to say yes, and was willing to take out 140 yuan of foreign money for the marriage of his righteous son, 80 yuan as a bride price for his father-in-law Yu Jingtian, and the remaining 60 yuan for the wedding banquet. Yu Jingtian couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately agreed, and said that he could let Ge Pinlian and his wife live in their own house first, and then rent another house after the full moon. Therefore, the two families invited Yang Naiwu, a talented man who lived nearby, to choose a wedding date, and the ceremony was scheduled to be held on the fourth day of the third month of the eleventh year of Tongzhi (1872).
