Kaifeng mansion's first drama

Chapter 59 The Jade Gourd Secret

Tian Cha shook his head.He only knew that the jade gourd was the treasure of the village, and because Liu Xiucai's family had meritorious service, the jade gourd had been entrusted to his family for safekeeping.There are not a few people in the village who covet jade gourds. I have discussed this matter with the village chief several times.It was agreed that the jade gourd would be kept at Liu Xiucai's house before the outcome was determined.

"Gentleman's agreement?" Pang Yuanying was very surprised that there were so many ways for these playwrights and villagers to cheat and take advantage of others. Since they coveted the jade gourd so much, they would let the jade gourd be placed in Liu's house, where orphans and widows live.

Tian Cha saw Pang Yuanying's doubts, and said that he didn't understand why.

"I am from a foreign surname, and my family was originally in Xiangzhou. Because of the disaster, I was left alone to escape. Back then, the village head kindly took me in. I slowly made a living by making herbal tea and built a house. I have always loved the village head. I am grateful, never thought that he would poison the tea to frame me."

After Tian Cha finished speaking, he asked Pang Yuanying if he could take away the teapot on the table.

"Although there is poisonous tea in it, I washed it clean and it should still be usable. There are only two teapots like this in my house. I asked someone to make them, and I was reluctant."

Pang Yuanying nodded.

Uncle Wang and others came back at this time and told Pang Yuanying that they hadn't found any clues on the mountain.

"Go and capture Xiong Feng's daughter." Pang Yuanying said to Wang Chao, "She is probably another murderer."

"My lord, don't talk nonsense! Yes, I killed Liu Xiucai's mother and son, and let Yang Xiwang leave with the gourd. But my daughter is innocent, she doesn't know anything, what did he, a weak woman, kill her husband!"

Xiong Feng scolded Pang Yuanying as a stupid official, and if he couldn't solve the case, he simply pulled the Xiong family out of the blame, how shameless!

Pang Yuanying looked sideways at Xiong Feng and sneered.

"If you killed Liu Xiucai's mother and son and sent Yang Xiwang to escape with the jade gourd, your daughter certainly had no motive to kill Yang Xiwang, and the result is likely that the couple in distress fled together.

But you are pretending to be dead, so things should be deduced according to the situation that we did not expose you: we came back from Tian Cha and found you lying alone in the wing room, your son-in-law disappeared, Liu Xiucai's mother and son died, and the jade gourd disappeared. .In this case, everyone will naturally think that Yang Xiwang poisoned you, then killed Liu Xiucai's mother and son, stole the jade gourd and left.

People in the village value jade gourds so much, and they will definitely not give up on tracking down Yang Xiwang. Where can he escape as an ordinary person?The risk of exposure is high.After killing him and taking away the jade gourd, the killer is unknown, and no one knows who took the jade gourd, so of course there is no way to track it down.In this way, the person who holds the jade gourd can completely get rid of everyone's pursuit.

Now that you're feigning death, it means you planned the whole thing.

If you want to get the jade gourd so much, you will definitely not let someone you don't trust do it.Seeing this, Yang Xiwang was tall and ran away holding the jade gourd that everyone was fighting for. If he hadn't seen an unsuspecting acquaintance, how could he have been stabbed in the abdomen?It seems that the only person you trust and who can make Yang Xiwang fall on guard is your daughter.After all, your son is a fool and has no brains to do this. "

"You are talking nonsense!"

Xiong Feng angrily beat his chest with both hands, shouting that no one can bully his daughter.

The next moment, Xiong Feng vomited blood and fell into the prison car.

When Bailishi and others saw it, they sneered again and again: "The village chief is really scheming. After being exposed, he played this trick again. Do you really think everyone is a fool?"

Ma Han opened the prison car to feel his pulse, and reported back to Pang Yuanying, "He is really dead."

Ma Han turned over Xiong Feng's chest and found a purse.

"Be careful." Bai Yutang reminded.

Ma Han quickly let go, picked up a wooden stick from the ground, broke the stick, carefully took out the purse, and slowly peeled it off for a look.There are several poisonous needles in the purse, and when you squeeze it hard, it will stick out.Check Xiong Feng's chest again, there are three needle holes that have been pierced by poisonous needles.

"What's going on here?" Wang Chao was surprised.

Bai Lishi looked at the oval white fruit in the purse, and there was a corner of yellow paper the size of a fingernail with a cinnabar dot on the side.

"This is the fruit of good luck. We believe that wearing it will bring good luck and prosperity. We usually put it together with things like peace talismans. Also, when the village chief is in a hurry, he likes to beat his chest with both hands. Almost all the villagers in the village Everyone knows his habit."

"The murderer must be very familiar with the habit of the village head. Purse, should this be a gift from a woman?"

Pang Yuanying turned her head to look in the direction of the main room, and suddenly shouted: "Tian Cha!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment before they remembered that just now Tian Cha said that he would take away his teapot, but now Tian Cha is no longer in the room.

"I'm here." Tian Cha stood behind Bailishi and the others, near the door, holding the big poisonous teapot.

Bai Yutang suddenly understood what was happening, and immediately snatched the teapot from Tian Cha's hand and opened it to see, there was nothing in it except half a pot of herbal tea.

Pang Yuanying took out a piece of paper from the cloth bag and wiped it on the belly of the pot, and the water stains were immediately printed on the rice paper.

"It's so hot and it's been left for such a long time. How can there be water stains on the belly of the pot?" Pang Yuanqing asked.

Tian Cha hurriedly explained: "I wanted to pour out the poisoned tea just now, but after thinking about it, it's not good to pour it here. Don't poison anything else, so I plan to go out and find a remote place to pour it out."

This reason is too far-fetched, it is hard to believe.

"But even if you pour tea, just use the spout of the pot, and it doesn't seem to splash behind the belly of the pot." Pang Yuanqing said seriously.

Tian Cha smiled apologetically, "Maybe it was splashed on the ground."

"Where are you?" Pang Yuanying asked directly.

Tian Cha raised his hand in embarrassment, and pointed in a direction uncertainly.

Pang Yuanqing turned his head to look at what Tian Cha was pointing at.

Pang Yuanying did not move, his eyes were fixed on Tian Cha, and he was ordered to be searched.

Wang Chao and Ma Han started immediately, and then found the jade gourd from Tian Cha's arms.The surface of the jade gourd still had dampness left, it was evident that it had just been fished out of the water.

Uncle Wang, Bailishi and other villagers were in an uproar. They didn't expect them to scramble for the jade gourd that they had been chasing for a day. Who would have thought that the jade gourd was put in the poisonous teapot.

The teapot was placed in the center of the table in the main hall of Liu's house, surrounded by four bowls of poisoned tea.Because of the Xiong Feng poisoning case, it was confirmed afterwards that the water in the tea bowl was poisonous, and no one touched the 'crime scene' on the table.Even Pang Yuanying suspected that Xiong Feng hadn't taken the jade gourd away, and searched every inch and every item of Liu Xiucai's house, but ignored the poisonous teapot in the middle of the table.

"Xiong Feng took such a risk because of the jade gourd. He probably wouldn't trust his son-in-law with a foreign surname. I always thought that the jade gourd was hidden under his eyelids. As for Yang Xiwang, it was Xiong Feng who pulled it out to attract everyone's attention." Pang Yuanying explained, " Because our coming to see Liu Xiucai was not something that had been discussed in advance. We came here by chance. He heard that the jade gourd was not safe and would be taken away by the government. In a hurry, he consulted with his accomplices and immediately made a countermeasure. Poisoning in tea , Bloody intestines, arranging for a son-in-law, ordering his daughter to kill, he can't cover everything in a short time by himself, so he must have an accomplice who committed the crime with him."

"It's not me. I just picked it up and found something inside when I was packing the pot. When I opened it, it was a jade gourd. Seeing that the adults were interrogating Xiong Feng, I became greedy and wanted to take the gourd for myself." Tian Cha hurriedly explained, please don't accuse Pang Yuanying of killing him.

"There is a corner of talisman in Killing Xiong Feng's purse, which is the safe talisman I gave you. Maybe no one else noticed, but I will mark the corner with cinnabar on any talisman in my hand." Pang Yuanying looked at Chao Mahan Waiting for others, "Recently in the Kaifeng mansion, many people who dislike me secretly used my talisman paper, thinking that I didn't know that the talisman paper was mine."

Wang Chao and Ma Han pursed their lips when they heard this, and lowered their heads in embarrassment.

The Yacha has brought the village head's daughter, Xiong Shi, and found clothes with a small amount of blood under the bed in her residence.When Xiong heard that her father was found and dead, she couldn't bear the interrogation at all, and immediately confessed that her father ordered her to wait for Yang Xiwang in the sorghum field and kill him.

Pang Yuanying looked back at Tian Cha and asked him if he had any explanation.

Tian Cha lost the teapot in embarrassment, knelt on the ground, cried and kowtowed to Pang Yuanying, saying that he did not expect things to come to this point.

"The jade gourd is a secret handed down by the ancestors of the four families in Nianzi Village, and it is said that he is related to the treasure buried by the four families.

But what is the treasure and where is it hidden? The four households of Baili, Xiong, Liu, and Wang originally knew a clue. It's underground.The three families are determined to find out the secret of the baby, but because the most important character of the Liu family is missing, the clues are not complete, so they have to guess.

Everyone has their own suspicions, and no one is willing to say their own words and let others guess first.The village head has supported me so far, seeing that I am smart, he discussed with me that if the secret of the jade gourd is solved, we will share the treasures in it equally.He said it was better to have two families than four.

As for Yang Xiwang, don't look at him as tall and strong, but in fact the place is not easy to use. The village chief's daughter has long complained, and she has the heart to give up on him.The village head has been reluctant because of face.

This time Shaoyin was waiting for someone to come, and something happened suddenly, and the village chief was anxious, so he came to me to find a solution.I came up with this plan in a hurry.

The tea was poisoned, so the village head pretended to be poisoned, and asked Yang Xiwang to go to the sorghum field to meet his daughter and escape. It was a feint to divert everyone's attention.The village chief told Yang Xiwang that he had arranged for his daughter to watch Qian Cai stare at him in Gaoliang, and let the couple go away first, and he would come after he got the baby.But the real plan is that the village chief ordered his daughter to kill Yang Xiwang, so that the Xiong family's suspicion can be completely eliminated, and the attention can be shifted to the 'unknown murderer', which can decently solve Xiong's Husband's troubles.In fact, the jade gourd is hidden in the poisonous teapot, under the dark light, so no one will notice, and we will take the opportunity to take it away afterwards.Wait a few more days, and the village chief's "poison" can be slowly resolved and his health restored. "

"It's a decent way to solve Xiong's Husband's troubles." Bai Yutang repeated this sentence with a sneer, and asked sarcastically, "Your way to solve it decently is to kill people?"

"Where's the purse?"

"The village chief is cruel and cunning. If I don't act first, he will definitely kill me when he turns around."

Tian Cha lowered his head, staring at the ground, his words of confession were lifeless.

"I prepared the purse a long time ago, just in case I needed it. Today, when the incident happened suddenly, I brought the purse to the village chief, and told him that the people in Kaifeng Mansion are not easy to deal with, and I want him to act like a character. Good luck will keep him safe."

Pang Yuanying ordered Chao Chao and others to put Tian Cha into the prison car.Tian Cha did not forget to argue that this matter had nothing to do with his wife and daughter, they had no knowledge of it, and begged Pang Yuanying to let them go.

"What are the three characters of the three families? If you and the village chief dare to do this, you may know the characters of the other two families." Pang Yuanying asked Tian Cha the last sentence.

"The three characters of the Xiong, Wang, and Baili families happen to be 'silver, gourd, and reed'. In fact, the three families have checked the jade gourd carefully, but found nothing. After knowing these three characters, they are probably very puzzled and try to find it. Where is the silver gourd for a period of time. Everyone has their own guesses, mutual fear and precautions, and they have not touched the jade gourd for the time being. Because once someone moves, the other two will surely arouse suspicion and follow suit. The village chief told me half a month ago , He was sure that there must be clues on the letter jade gourd, and it has nothing to do with the silver gourd, but he hasn't studied the way to find the clues yet. This time the government wants to confiscate it, so he can't wait, he must take it away." Tian Cha Honest confession.

After Chao Chao ordered Yacha to take Tian Cha away first, he then asked Pang Yuanying what to do next, and what to do with the jade gourd.

The jade gourd is quite heavy, and it looks like it has been carved out of a piece of stone. When shaking it, you can't feel anything inside.

Pang Yuanying raised the jade gourd in his hand and looked up.

Villagers such as Bailishi and Uncle Wang got up in a hurry, shouting that this is the treasure of their village, please Kaifeng Mansion not to confiscate it.

At this time, the mahogany sword on Pang Yuanying's waist moved up and down slightly.

Pang Yuanying let go, and the jade gourd was smashed to pieces.
