Chapter 103 Cruel and bloody old things
Jiang Yue was somewhat surprised by the old man's reaction, but he remained calm.

It can be clearly judged that the woman in the photo is indeed a restricted area that cannot be touched.

An old man at such an old age should be at an age when life and death should be looked down upon, but he is still so taboo?
Is it because I am afraid that I have said something wrong, and that disasters will befall future generations?

It is normal for the elderly to have these scruples.

"Old Han, the woman in the photo may be the key to breaking the situation. Why don't you call all the elderly people in the town and see if they have anything to say?"

This couldn't help Lao Han. He called the leader of the town and stated his interests, and the other party was very cooperative.

Inspired by the civil servants, a dozen elderly people over [-] years old, both men and women, were invited to move to a wide area.

However, when Jiang Yue brought the topic to the women of Zhao Shouyin's family, the reactions of these old people were surprisingly consistent.

His face changed on the spot, his attitude resisted, his expression was terrified, and he got up and was about to leave.

The only exception is an old lady with white hair and childlike face.

Although this old man was also afraid, it was not as exaggerated as the others, and her reaction didn't seem to be particularly resistant, nor did she intend to get up and leave.

"Old man, what's your surname? How long will you live this year? How many people are there for dinner?"

"Hehe, how many years have no one asked my old woman's last name? My surname is Ma, and I am 92 this year! I have no children or daughters in my life, my wife left early, and my natal relatives have stopped walking around. For the past 20 years, I have lived alone. .You are a good young man, handsome and polite, and there are not many such young men nowadays. I heard that you are the grandson of the old fairy Panshiling Yunhe?"

It turned out to be a widowed old man, 92 years old, indeed an advanced age.

Such an old man, who has no children or offspring on weekdays, can imagine his loneliness.

It's rare for someone to talk, even if it's a taboo topic, her resistance is obviously not as serious as others.

"Does your old man know my grandfather?"

"I know, I know. With a radius of hundreds of miles, who doesn't know the name of the old god? It's a pity, it's a pity, I heard he's gone?"

Jiang Yue nodded sadly, if grandpa was still there, how good would it be?

Unfortunately, there is no if.

"Old man, it's not that we're just asking around. Zhao Shouyin's matter is related to the safety of Yunxi Town. Who is that woman is the key to breaking the situation."

The other old people present were all terrified and wanted to leave the venue one after another. Not to mention telling them to speak, even if they listened to it, they didn't seem to have the courage.

It seemed as if the evil ghosts were lurking beside them, and would come out at any moment to take their lives.

The old lady Ma sighed lightly.

"The woman in the photo... I know, she is Zhao Shouyin's mother, and the baby she is holding in her arms is Shouyin who was just born. At that time, she was a well-known beauty from all over the world. At that time, I I haven't married to Yunxi Town yet, and I've heard of her fame since I was a child. Speaking of which, her natal family is still from your Panshiling. My natal family is next to Panshiling, which is from Songshan Pass. Her maiden name, I have a little I don’t remember. I only heard her called Yu’er. I am four or five years younger than her, so I call her Miss Yu’er. When I was a girl, I often met her when I went to the market in Yunxi Town with my father. When she was a girl, she also loved to go to the market, buying small items, combs, headbands, hairpins and so on. At that time, she was really beautiful. When she went to the street, young guys would secretly follow her wherever she stopped. Those young people Boy, I can't wait to show her my heart."

Zhao Shouyin's mother?
This answer is not surprising to Jiang Yue at all, it is very reasonable based on the calculation of the age.

"Later, when Sister Yu'er was a little older, the family came to propose a marriage, and the threshold of her house was broken. Sister Yu'er chose thousands of choices, and she fell in love with the young treasurer of Zhao's silver in the town. That is Zhao Shouyin's father. Shouyin When my father was young, he was also a handsome young man with craftsmanship, opened a shop, and his family was well-off. Everyone praised Sister Yuer for being able to pick a man... Girls from all over the world are very envious of them in private. Praise them It's a pair of gods and gods, living a life that surpasses the gods."

When Madam Ma said this, she sighed for a long time, her tone was rather sad.

Shouldn't it be very festive to talk about this kind of topic?
A talented man and a beautiful woman, a couple of gods and gods, are enviable.

This sad sigh, could it be that the desire is suppressed first?A sad story that often has a joyous beginning?
Sure enough, the tone of what the old lady said next obviously changed.

The good times didn't last long. First, Zhao Shouyin's father encountered bandits on his way to the city to pick up goods. He was decapitated and left dead in the mountains.

It took half a month to be discovered.

When Shouyin's mother heard the news, she was so sad that she wished she could die with her husband.Unexpectedly, at this time, Shou Yin's mother unexpectedly found out that she was pregnant.

After having a child, Shouyin's mother's ambition to die faded, and she made up her mind to give birth to a child and leave a little blood for her husband.

After suffering all kinds of pregnancy in October, Shouyin's mother finally gave birth to a child.

Name the child Shouyin.

Shouyin Shouyin, the name has a profound meaning, entrusting the ambition to keep the silver shop of grandparents and parents no matter what.

At this time, all kinds of unpleasant rumors spread in the town, saying that Shouyin's mother colluded with the adulterer, killed her husband, and blamed the bandits.

In fact, it was plotting the Zhao family's silver-made family property, and even the children in her stomach were wild species.

This kind of rumor has been fermented by someone with a heart, and it has become more and more evil.

Many people with ulterior motives, including people from the Zhao family clan, jumped out to make things difficult for Shou Yinma.

In the end, several elders of the clan unanimously decided to brutally lynch Shouyin's mother!
In that evil old age, an era full of malice and injustice towards women, carrying the banner of morality and etiquette, the clan lynched and persecuted a woman who had lost her husband in the name of upholding justice, eradicating evil and promoting good.

The poor woman was gouged out by members of the Zhao family clan, knocked out her teeth, pulled out her tongue, and pricked her ears... Then they beat her to death, not even allowing her to enter the ancestral grave.

In the end, it was the people from Panshiling's natal family who sneakily found the place where the corpses were dumped, carried the beaten corpse back, and buried it hastily on a random grave in Dajin Mountain.

For this reason, there were several conflicts between the Zhao family in Yunxi Town and Panshiling.

Originally, Zhao Shouyin would not be able to survive, but in the end the town government said, what is wrong with the baby?
Zhao Shouyin grew up with all kinds of supercilious looks. Except for the two houses, the family's savings and stocks have long been divided up by the clansmen.

But the current Zhao Family Silver System, although it is an ancestral plaque, is actually a situation where Zhao Shouyin started from scratch and re-supported it.

After listening, Jiang Yue felt bad all over.

What a cruel and sad history.

Sangou couldn't help asking after hearing the last word, "Then is Zhao Shouyin his father's seed?"

"You don't know anything, baby, why would you ask that? Of course Zhao Shouyin is his father's seed. He grew up to be five or six years old, and anyone can tell that this baby was carved out of the same mold as his father. Otherwise, you would think Can he get back these two houses?"

Sangou said angrily: "So, these people deliberately bullied the orphans and widows, and robbed Zhao Shouyin's house in the name of the clan! Don't they feel ashamed afterwards?"

This is the truth.

Several descendants of the Zhao family who were present had already dispersed with interest.They really had no face to listen to this story.Although these are all broken things done by the ancestors, they are disgraceful after all.

The tragic event nearly 80 years ago, the people who witnessed it at that time, I am afraid that there are not many surviving people.Even this old lady Ma didn't actually witness it with her own eyes. The details were told to her by her husband after she married in Yunxi Town.

Jiang Yue finally understood why the 86-year-old man reacted that way.He is nine years older than Zhao Shouyin, so maybe he witnessed it with his own eyes!
And maybe, his parents and grandparents may have personally participated in the persecution of Shouyin's mother.

"Mrs. Ma! You have committed a crime!"

"If you uncover Gong Wanyu's past, it's like uncovering the coffin for yourself, waiting for the ghost to take his life!"

"You vicious old woman, you have no children, but you want to harm our Yunxi Town?"

Those elderly people who were getting older all spoke out to scold them.

They avoided talking about that unbearable past, but instead blamed the old lady Ma who took the initiative to uncover it.

Mrs. Ma is not a fuel-efficient lamp either.

Putting up a finger, pointing at this group of people, he said tit for tat: "If you do something wrong, are you still afraid of being uncovered? It's not me, an old woman, but those who persecuted Miss Yu'er. Do you believe in retribution? This may be the retribution that the elders said!"

"Unfortunately, the retribution was wrong! This is the Zhao family's crime, and the rest of the town are innocent." Madam Ma shouted, slapping her thigh.

A few people were already very excited. Hearing what Mrs. Ma said, they wished they could pick up their crutches and beat them up.

Lao Han and several civil servants quickly separated.

Jiang Yue's heart suddenly moved: "Old lady, you just said that this Gong Wanyu's body was carried back by her family and buried in Panshiling Dajin Mountain?"

"Yes, this natal family has a conscience. In that old era, if such a thing happened, the natal family would be ashamed and unable to lift their heads."

Jiang Yue was no longer in the mood to listen to the old lady's words.

Panshiling's surname is not complicated, and the Gong surname can be regarded as a relatively large surname in Panshiling.

Frames of pictures, clues one after another, kept gathering in Jiang Yue's mind, pointing in the same direction.

"Old Han, I'm going to Panshiling!"
