The fearful corpse attack of the Joseon Dynasty.jpg

Joseon was a country crazy about trials, regardless of whether it was slaves, commoners, or nobles, who litigated after breakfast, litigated after lunch, and litigated after dinner.

Among these, one of the methods used to secure a share from the other party in a lawsuit is ‘stealing’, which is an attack on a corpse.

Stealing occurs when there is a sick person in the house or someone who is about to die.

It started when there were people.

1. When a sick person dies, the body is packed at night.

Go to a neighbor’s house or a rich person’s house that you have a grudge against.

2. Secretly place the body in the doorway or

Throw it down the well and come out.

3. Go to the government office and see those bastards

I’m accusing you of killing my family.

Even a person who wants to commit suicide commits suicide by hiding in another house using a special suicide attack.

There are various methods such as false accusation, etc.

To the leaders, the murder case is a huge incident that causes them to give out performance evaluations.

From the general public’s perspective, they don’t want to be involved in a murder case and be investigated.

It is said that it was a farce that arose because there was a lot of mediation and settlement with a reasonable amount of settlement money.

Naturally, in order to respond to this absurd attack, the government office also created all kinds of autopsy techniques that are almost equivalent to modern scientific investigation.

Because of the mistake, the coroners had to go through a lot of trouble rummaging through the rotting corpse to verify whether it was an attack on the corpse or a real beating.

Besides, it’s common to say things like this

Jeong Yak-yong went so far as to claim that half of the murder cases were related to these body-blackmail threats.

Surprisingly, it wasn’t a ghost story, but a common occurrence.
