According to media reports, a few days ago, Lao Mouzhi, a female criminal suspect who killed seven people with her boyfriend Fa Ying in the form of "fairy jump" from 1996 to 1999 and fled for 23 years, was successfully arrested by the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Siming Public Security Bureau through big data information in the "Yun Jian Operation" of Xiamen police. This news caused a sensation and was regarded as another major victory on the criminal investigation front in China in recent years.
As for the word "fairy jump", some friends who pay little attention to the legal news are unfamiliar, and some even think it is the same as "releasing white doves". In this narrative note, the author will help you distinguish the difference between the two, and talk about the past events in the most serious period of the crime of "fairy jump" in China history through the notes in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.
First, the trap on the "Jinfeng Building"
First of all, it should be clarified that "releasing the white dove" and "dancing with immortals" are two completely different forms of crime, although they are similar in technique. "Putting a white dove" means that a fraud gang marries a "daughter" in the name of marriage, and after receiving the bride price, it walks away; According to the definition of "Xianrentiao", it is "men and women conspire to act as a couple, so that women can use color as bait to lure other men into the room. If the man who is just sitting down and conspiring is dressed as a husband, he will rush home from outside, and when he sees the guest, he will be pseudo-angry and say that he wants to catch the general. If the guest is afraid, he will beg for favor for a long time, but he will not be allowed to offer money. If it is insufficient, he will be forced to issue bonds and repay them on schedule, and he will be full of his desires and will be humiliated at first. It is called the fairy jump. "
I don’t know if you understand, although both of them are criminal gangs using men and women’s affairs to defraud money, the biggest difference is that the former is "marrying in the bright media" and the latter is "breaking the adultery". If the former is "literary fraud", the latter is "martial fraud".
In all kinds of scams, "letting white doves fly" and "dancing immortals" are all classified as "sexual deception", which has a long history in China. In the Song Dynasty, it was called "beauty bureau", and in the Ming Dynasty, it was called "burning fire and hoarding". Ling Mengchu once wrote a poem dedicated to this matter in "Surprise at the Second Moment": "Seeing people like each other, there is a real fate in the Central Plains. Just because nothing is false is not true, you can’t ask if you hide it in the machine. Teenagers are reckless and greedy, and they are ready to kick into the romantic array. Shantou does not eat and provoke the body, and the secular fame is burning. " It was not until the Qing Dynasty that it was divided into two categories.
Notes of Youtai Fairy Pavilion records a very typical "fairy jumping case" that happened in Daoguang season;
Notes of Youtai Fairy House
There is a scholar named Gu in Wujiang who lives at the bank of Geely Bridge because he went to Suzhou for the exam. There is a tea shop called "Jinfeng Building" next to Jili Bridge. After dinner, Gu Shengaccidentally went to have tea. When he went in, he found that there was a table in the corner. There was an old woman sitting with a young woman. "There was no one else." Gu Sheng sat down at that table. "I have been chatting with Gu for a long time." The old woman said, "The tea here is tasteless. If Lang Jun is interested, why not come to my house and treat each other with good tea?" Gu Sheng readily followed it. Go home with the old woman and go upstairs. The upstairs furnishings are quite elegant. At that time, opium smoking was prevalent, and there were many smoking utensils on the couch. The old woman asked Gu Sheng to try it. Gu Sheng politely decline, the old woman advised him to say, "Why not play by chance?" She ordered the young woman to burn cigarettes to serve guests. Gu Sheng had to get on the couch, and the old woman helped him take off his shoes and said, "Feel free to sleep and sit. The old woman has something to do and go." Say that finish go downstairs. Not long after, there was a sudden fierce knock at the door downstairs. The young woman tiptoed downstairs. Gu Sheng felt confused and followed her downstairs gently and hid in the dark. I saw the young woman open the door, and suddenly more than 30 men rushed in and asked where people were. The young woman said "upstairs". More than 30 big men followed the young woman upstairs, and Gu Sheng quickly took the opportunity to slip away. "In the custom of Gaisu, there are often people who take women as their prey. When young children fall into it by mistake, they will try their best to take their clothes, and force books to borrow coupons, or tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, which is the beginning of interpretation. The proverb is called’ fairy jump’."
"Clear-off Banknotes" makes a detailed analysis of the criminal methods of "Immortal Jump": most of these crimes are "those who gather the party’s thoughts". Specific crimes are divided into three groups: the first group includes beautiful young women as bait, and the environment in which the target of fraud has to be trapped-taking Gu Sheng as an example, I am afraid that those who occupy seats are members of criminal gangs, "first make women seduce men and deal with them"; When the target was hooked, the second batch of members went on stage. "Its party has more than a dozen generations, each with weapons, and it is tracked and found, and the momentum is fierce. It is impossible to go to you. Pretend that your wife is polluted and must die, otherwise you can buy it if you love it, and you must compensate for all the expenses on weekdays. Otherwise, you will never leave this polluted woman again. If a man resists a little, the fake husband will bother to drink. "; The third group played the role of "mediator" at this time, "trying to persuade men to donate money, and including all their clothes and personal owners"-it can not be said that Gu Sheng’s cleverness and good luck made him escape from this series of carefully woven traps.
Clearing banknotes
Two, "more than a dozen gunboats" encirclement and suppression of criminal gangs
The rampant crime of "Immortal Jump" reached its peak in the history of China in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. The author found some words describing its situation in the notes "Notes on Experience" written by Ouyang Yu, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty. Because Ouyang Yu himself served as an aide for a long time in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang generations, many of his notes are true and credible during his tenure.
Notes on knowledge and experience
It can be found from the records that the crimes of "Fairy Jump" are mainly concentrated in Yangzhou, Gaoyou, Shao Bo, Huai ‘an, Qingjiang, Suqian and Shuyang. Let’s talk about Yangzhou first. There is a local matchmaker who introduces foreign guests to local marriage. It seems very formal. When bringing foreign guests to the woman’s home, the guests naturally feel at ease. When the bride price was paid to take the woman home, it was as short as ten days and as long as January. Suddenly, someone came to the door, asked why his wife was trafficked here, and accused the guest of being a kidnapper. The guest was shocked and said that there was a registered permanent residence and a matchmaker to rely on, but there was no trace of finding a matchmaker. Looking for the woman’s "family", "the original house was empty." From this, the woman’s "family" can be considered reasonable. "The more you scold the guest as a kidnapper, you will want to see the official. After that, a group of people will persuade you from the side. If you are timid, you must not only return the person, but also go out to the British to ask for sex."-"English flies" is the eagle’s ocean, and "sex" is the meaning of letting things go.
Of course, there are also particularly tough guests, who want to make it clear that those "family members" really sue the officials, while the government in the late Qing Dynasty, better to follow the rules, more simply count on lawsuits to make money. Since the defendant is in a foreign country, he can only eat the local plaintiff. "Mending officers demand too much, and they have to pay one or two hundred gold." In the past few years, hundreds of taels of silver have been spent and the lawsuit is still being fought. Ouyang Yu saw a case when he was the chief of staff in Yangzhou, because it involved two places. "The two counties asked questions, and the expenses of two government offices and roads were delayed for four years, and the visitors were only Chinese, so half of them had gone!"
However, the situation in Yangzhou is still good. What is really terrible is Gaoyou, Shao Bo, Huai ‘an, Qingjiang, Suqian and Shuyang all the way. The "Fairy Jump" there is really "seeing blood", and there are dozens of rogues with swords and guns. Once they meet customers who refuse to return the bait and even pay for it, they will be directly beaten. For those women who don’t want to be bait at first, "they must be allowed to take off their clothes, whip them and burn them to pieces."
Above Hankou, the "Fairy Jump" in Tianmen, mian yang, Shashi and Fancheng is even more fierce and terrible than the previous places. Criminals gangs commit crimes, and it goes without saying that customers who refuse to obey are beaten, but they are extremely cruel to women who are abducted as bait. "If relatives do not dare to recognize them, they will be beaten at night." After a woman was used as bait, she told the truth to the buyer because of her conscience, and the news leaked out. "I went into the house at night and grabbed it out, and I went to the door." The buyer was very angry and accused by the government, but after a long time, "the real murderer has not been obtained."
Ouyang Yu believes that the direct cause of this evil-doer rampant in the world is the institutional defects of the government. According to the laws of the Qing dynasty, such a case "was not arrested in June, and it was the first reference; In June, I will be the second member of the Senate. According to the rules, the fourth member of the Senate will be dismissed, but many local officials are acting (the period of acting is not more than one year in the Qing Dynasty), and "the second member of the Senate has stopped." The successor officer took over the backlog left by the previous one, "still counting from the beginning, and still dismissed from the Second Senate" … Some officials are real officials, but if they can’t get a person to the Second Senate, they will be excused. Therefore, in this kind of case, there are no cases in which four people are dismissed. Therefore, Ouyang Yu said sadly, "It’s not lax to try our best. If there are too many clever paths, why stay out of the law?" Therefore, due to the blame, the wind is blazing. "
Of course, there are also some conscientious and capable magistrates who are determined to kill the people, but it is not so easy to crack the "Xianrentiao" criminal group. Because this generation is fierce and abnormal, more than a dozen arresting officers are sent to arrest them, and if more than 100 people are sent, "it will be hundreds of miles away", so which region meets this kind of case, which makes the local officials have a headache. Ouyang Yu believes: "It is not easy to get rid of the harm if it is not a big official who cares about the people, regardless of the territory, limiting the camp and cooperating with the arrest."
There is really a "division" success. As mentioned earlier, the criminal gang that cut the bait for revealing the truth, after doing countless evils, was suddenly destroyed. One day, they hijacked a beautiful woman and anchored in a secluded place five miles away from Hankou. Then they were also puffed up, relaxed their vigilance and landed together to buy wine and meat. The boat was unguarded. "Once in a while, a boat passed by, and I was surprised to see a beautiful woman in the cabin, asking her first question and sounding like a fellow countryman." The woman told the boatman what had happened to her, and opened the deck to show him that "all were swords and guns", and then tearfully asked the boatman to leave quickly. "Don’t say anything, for fear of being killed." However, the owner of the boat had a chivalrous heart and rushed to Hankou to tell Jiangying about the situation. "In the evening, this generation all belong to, drinking all drunk. After the second watch, the battalion officer surrounded it with dozens of gunboats, stationed hundreds of troops on the shore to prevent it from escaping, so he captured them one by one, handed them over to the county Yan Yong, confessed to killing several women, kidnapped dozens of women, and sold them around, earning tens of thousands of taels of silver. The trial is true, and it is the right law. "
Third, rare cases of "using wisdom but not using force"
In the early years of the Republic of China, the society was in turmoil, and the cases of "fairy dancing" were still high. However, due to the developed business, Shanghai became the "hardest hit" for swindlers to use this technique, especially in the "Shanghai World" and some theaters, where there were a lot of "white pigeons" and "immortals". Many memoirs about that period have mentioned such events.
In many historical materials of the Republic of China, the author found a rare case of "fairy jumping", but he didn’t use his wisdom hard: there was a pigment dealer named Zhu in Shanghai who was rich in capital and had the disadvantage of being particularly lewd. One day, when he went to a theater to see a play, he saw a woman sitting next to him, surrounded by a maid, and the weather was luxurious, like everyone’s style. Zhu was thinking about how to talk to her. Suddenly, he saw a silk scarf in the woman’s sleeve fall to the ground, and Zhu quickly picked it up and returned it. The woman also thanked her gracefully and accepted it, and cast a glance at Zhu, who naturally answered with her eyes. After the show, the woman boarded the bus and left, and Zhu still looked forward to it. At this moment, suddenly a little groom came to tell him that this woman is the concubine of a certain mansion in a certain place.
The next afternoon, Zhu went to search for the address told by the groom. Sure enough, he saw the words "XXX Mansion" hanging on the door, but the door was closed and there was nothing to see. Zhu was wandering at the door, not knowing what to do. Suddenly he looked up and saw a person leaning against the window, which was the girl he saw in the theater yesterday. She made eyes at Zhu frequently and ordered the little maid to open the door to lead the way. Zhu entered his room and talked with him, only to know that his husband was an "adult" in the former Qing Dynasty. This "adult" had four or five similar small mansions in Shanghai and many concubines, so it was impossible to "take photos every week". When Zhu heard the joy, he thought that he had found an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Since then, Zhu often came to this mansion and saw that this girl had many girlfriends, most of whom were surrounded by pearls and jade, graceful and luxurious, and did not avoid Zhu, so Zhu would fork sparrows, play poker and play Pai Gow with them. On one occasion, when Zhu came back from collecting money, he went to the mansion to find a girl. Seeing that other girlfriends were there, he said that he had more money today and bet a big one. While the "Dragon and White Tiger" was in high spirits, a little maid came running with a teapot and said, "My mistress is not well, my master is back!" The girl quickly asked him to take refuge in the maid’s room. Zhu listened to him and hid in the maid’s room with trepidation. After a while, I vaguely heard the voice of the so-called master. The handmaid said to Zhu: Our master has a bad temper and carries a gun with him. If it is not good, it is really possible to kill people. You should jump out of the window and escape. Zhu ran away, not even taking a purse full of money.
The next day, he went back to visit, but he saw that the door of the mansion was closed, and no one came out after waiting for a long time. This was the case for several days in a row. After asking, he learned that the girl, the girl’s girlfriend, the handmaid and the "master" were all members of the "fairy jump" fraud gang, and they set themselves up from the beginning, just waiting for the thick leather bag after he collected the bill!
On the whole, after the Republic of China, the "fairy dance" was "civilized" on the whole, at least it wasn’t a robbery with an open fire … The author read legal literature at school, and although he saw some cases of "fairy dance", although it was also full of brutality and blackmail, it was basically a scattered fortune, and it didn’t kill him. In this sense, the behavior of a branch in the past was really disgusting
