A new journey of accumulating wealth
Chapter 211 Qingping Years 3 in 1
Lin Yutong frowned, obviously the fourth master said that Xu Shisi's family rules were strict, and the small courtyard he built was like a miniature harem, and the women in it had limited contact with people.
Someone found her: "How did you find it?" Really a master?
Grandma Zhang frowned and thought for a long time: "I don't know how she found it... I woke up in the middle of the night, and she was sitting by my bed. The light was not on... But I could hear it, it was a woman's voice... ..."
woman?
"How old is the woman?" Lin Yutong asked again.
"I can't tell the age, but the voice is very soft and soft... Among the women I know, I have never heard a woman's voice that speaks so softly and softly..."
Lin Yutong summed it up. What she wanted to say was that this woman sounded like that kind of special woman.
She motioned for her to continue talking, and she already understood the meaning of this layer.
Young Mistress Zhang closed her eyes, "...she is holding my son's amulet in her hand...that thing is worthless, it's just the auspicious coin hanging around the child's neck..."
Um!When copper coins are minted, sometimes there will be all kinds of slightly flawed coins... After all, these things are rare, and those with a little brains will accept this kind of money... Then put them in the temple and switch them as auspicious coins... …For the safety of their children, rich families are willing to spend money to find this.
Weave beautiful knots on this auspicious money and hang it around the child's neck.
"My children's knots are all made by myself, and I never fake other people's hands. The thread used must be boiled and kneaded until it is extremely soft, before it can be hung on the child. The child grows fast, and it takes half a year. Change it once... that thing, I will not admit it wrong..."
guessed!Once it was found out that she had a child who was not dead, everything became clear.
"What does she want you to do?" Lin Yutong asked.
"Give me a pack of medicine, and let me find a way to feed Xu Shisi." She shook her head as she spoke, "But you know how scared these people who have done wrong things are. Do you think he doesn't want to go home?" When it gets dark, he would rather not go home... He would rather take it here, because he is afraid of accidents on the road. In this house, we are like being locked in a cage, not to mention going out for a walk, just interacting with each other If you talk too much, you will be punished. Or you won't be given food...or...you won't be called to wear clothes...you can bear it if you don't eat, but you can't bear it if you don't wear clothes...we can't stand that, we don't even have a chance to talk No. The only chance to see him is to be turned over by him... But after the sign is turned over, the medicine is not easy to take. There are several people in the room watching, from eating to drinking, and even the clothes on our bodies, we are not allowed It happened...it was New Year's Eve, and he drank some wine before...I didn't pretend to say anything, but I gave him a little face that day, and then I got carried away and asked me to pour wine for him... When I was pouring wine, At least three people stared at my movements. If my fingers dared to touch the wine, I would be dragged out immediately... I dare not take risks. Earlier, I put the medicine powder that the woman gave me in my mouth, and then drank it I fed him with a sip of wine...as long as I get things done, that woman...at least will give my child a bowl of food..."
Lin Yutong looked at her: "Think about it again, the more information you can provide me about that woman, the greater the chance that I can find you and my son, and the sooner your mother and child can be reunited. Think again... …Think about it carefully, even if you have heard even a little bit of other movement before or after, or smelled something special about that woman, even if it is a certain habit brought out in the conversation... this is fine..."
movement?smell?Habit?
correct!
"When she came to look for me that night... There was still movement in the main courtyard. Xu Shisi didn't leave that day and turned over the signboard of a girl on the opposite side. That girl was originally a clean lady from some restaurant, but she had a good voice... …When the woman was about to leave, I was a little confused, and vaguely remembered that she stood at the window, opened a small gap in my window, listened to the song for a long time...then said "it's a pity"... ...As for how to get there, I really don't know. I got up and looked carefully, but I didn't see anything different in the room. But you reminded me...the smell...she opened the window, the cold wind As soon as it was blown in, I could smell the smell coming from the window... a bit like the scent of turpentine... I can't smell it very clearly... I can't guarantee it..."
A very feminine woman with an uncontrollable fondness for such things as singing and a smell of turpentine.Is it still possible to go high and high?
Lin Yutong comforted the woman: "The capital city is big even if it's big, and it's small if you say it... If you want to hide the child, no one will find out. Except for the theater troupe, there is probably no other place..."
Young Mistress Zhang's eyes lit up, "Yes! Opera troupe... Only opera troupe... who are used to singing and singing can speak in a proper way..." Her eyes became hot, "That's right! That's right! That's right! That A person is not a woman, he must be a man. If it is a woman, she will not look like a woman in a special way...Only when a man imitates a woman, can he be more feminine than a woman...I said look at how weird and awkward she is As soon as you say it... everything will be clear!" She stretched out her hand and grabbed Lin Yutong, "Please...find my son..."
Although as long as the child is alive, I don't want the child to grow up and become someone else's plaything.
Lin Yutong felt uncomfortable, "My family has some friendship with Mr. Zhang, even if there is no such thing, since he knows it and has the ability to take care of it, he will not ignore it. You can stay at ease..." As he said, He also took out a small wooden bottle like a Buddha statue, the size of a thumb, with a rope made of inconspicuous black silk thread, which can be hung around the neck, "Hold this... there are dozens of medicines in it...you will be Wake up, and then take one pill, it will make you sleep for a day and a night... Don't let anyone notice that you're awake... You have to know that if the poison on Xu Shisi's body cannot be cured for a day, you won't be able to wake up for a day, otherwise..."
"I understand!" She took it and poured out a pill. The granules of this medicine are very small, each one is about the size of a millet, and she felt a little dizzy when she took it in her mouth... But her mind was still blurred, and she still felt a little conscious.
Lin Yutong then stabbed the two women again to ensure that they would wake up slowly in about a quarter of an hour.Only then did he go out, and climbed over the wall carefully.Outside the wall, fourth master and Jin Yi were waiting outside.Seeing that she came out safe and sound, the two of them didn't speak, and just left here first.
In the back alley of the government office, there is basically no one at this point.The three of them left one by one, and it was relatively smooth.
But I didn't want to, before I walked out of the alley, I heard the noise on the street.
Jin Yi exclaimed: "Father, look... where is that? It's on fire!"
That's right!on fire!It can be seen across half of the city.
Lin Yutong looked at Jin Yi: "Do you know where Brother Kun and the others booked a private room? Don't let anything happen..."
The fourth master answered, "It's okay... Sister Lin and her husband have both gone, and the second son-in-law is here, so nothing will happen." Then he sent Jin Yi, "Be careful, go find them, don't call them Worry about me and your mother, we won't go anywhere, we will go in later, if there are too many people, we can just stay in the government office..."
Jin Yi responded and walked away.Sure enough, the streets were in a mess.
The government office is also very busy now, and firefighting has existed in all dynasties.There are different names, but now there are fire soldiers under the government office.There are more than 80 people, how dare Mr. Zi Fu Yin sit still at this meeting, and when he sees Fourth Master, he cups his hands: "Forgive me, I can't be with you today."
Fourth Master pulled two horses without any hassle: "Borrow a horse, the fire is in the direction of the Xu family."
Nowhere, just Xu's?
The house of the Xu family has been around for 300 years.Not sure what secrets are hidden in it.
The grown-up was just saying to be careful along the way, don't call it a stampede, but this man wanted to ride a horse, not only by himself, but also with someone... that person must be a woman.
Before she could ask, the woman quickly got on the horse.
Lin agreed to sit in front of fourth master, so she could control the reins better.When the streets were full of obstacles, she didn't think that fourth master was better than her at riding horses.
The two tried to avoid the big streets and walked through the small alleys.There were a lot of people in the alley at this moment, but Lin Yutong yelled all the way, and stood a little to the side, don't step on anyone when the horse is coming.Many people along the way must have scolded in a low voice, but are people with horses waiting for others?That is daring to speak out.
If you are angry, be angry, and if you scold, you will be scolded twice. At most, it will delay them for a while, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone.
It wasn't until we got close to Xu's house that we realized how big the fire was. Good guy, the flames are soaring into the sky.There was thick smoke billowing nearby, and someone said: "It's a 300-year-old house... It is said that when the Xu family built this house, it was built with pine wood..."
Dry pine wood, pine wood is very oily, and it will burn when it sees sparks.Such a thick smoke must have ignited even the flowers and trees in the house. Those flowers and trees have been growing for so many years, they are lush and thick, and they are wet, so there must be such a big smoke?
In this situation, not to mention hundreds of firefighters, even thousands of firefighters are useless at all.As long as it doesn't spread, it's fine.
The fourth master said, "Let's go! Come back! This fire won't last for three days and three nights."
Also!
When the two arrived home, Brother Kun's group of children had just arrived at the door.I didn't go to see it, and I was anxious to ask what was going on.Who knows about this, anyway, it is on fire.
Lin Yutong told them to go home quickly, "I'm cooking glutinous rice balls. Rice glutinous rice balls made with rice wine, eat a bowl for each person, and go to bed quickly. It's not our business anyway."
Sister Xuan cheered and pulled Wen Lan'er and Sister Ying inside.
Sister Ying glanced at the Xu family when she entered, with a smile on her face.
This one is on fire... It's exciting to watch...
After lying down, Lin Yutong had time to tell the fourth master the news he got: "...After much deliberation, the troupe is the one to check. Although the capital is not big, there are quite a few troupes here. Famous Not to mention those who come and go, there are not a few grassroots teams in various places."
The fourth master shook his head: "To be able to get familiar with the capital and get to know the family members of criminal officials who were sent to the Jiaofang Division, this must not be possible for ordinary grass-roots teams. This person can't get away from the Jiaofang Division..." At this point, he suddenly Thinking about it, "Before... when I inquired about Xu Shisi's news, I remember mentioning a team... Is there?"
have!Joy class!
If you can touch it, you can directly find the room where Mrs. Zhang lives. Someone must have gone in and observed it.He had to go through that courtyard again, and he had to have something to do with the theater troupe... only the Xile troupe.
This is the only place where there is an intersection.
Where is Kexile Class now?
After checking it again, he was sent to the palace.Just got delivered on New Years Eve.
Then it was a coincidence to find the leader of his family... The leader was not there, so he said that he had gone back to his hometown. Before, his hometown sent a letter saying that the old lady at home was not healthy, so he was asked to go back no matter what.
The deputy headmaster had a smile on his face: "...Second Master Xu asked us to act in the palace... It was just arranged a few years ago, and it was said that it was going to the palace on New Year's Eve to serve the empress for a few days... It's settled, headmaster I didn’t dare to delay for a day, it’s been more than half a month.”
Fourth Master looked at him carefully, and asked, "Where's your team... are you all back?"
The deputy class leader shook his head and laughed dryly, "I guess it will be soon. This year and festivals are going to be over... I think it will only be a few days..."
Li Cheng looked at the leader of the class, then at the fourth master. Seeing that the fourth master didn't ask any more questions, he just got up and wanted to leave, so he followed him out: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"Tell people to keep an eye on this troupe..." Fourth Master mused, "I'm afraid the trouble is somewhere else, it's in the palace. You go and arrange people first, I'll go to Xu's Mansion..."
In the end, before the two of them got on their horses, they saw the servants of the government office trotting over, "Second Master, Fourth Master Jin, hurry up, something has happened... Our lord is waiting outside the city..."
What happened?
All the way to the outside of the city, while listening to the guards say: "This morning, as soon as the gate of the city opened, someone came to report, saying that a troupe seemed to have been killed on the official road outside the city... It was placed all over the place. The dead body... Our adults sent people to check... Really, it is a theater troupe of the Jiaofang Division, the Xile Troupe... 23 people, old and young, men and women, none of them survived."
Ok?
As soon as I checked the Xile class, the Xile class was completely dead.Just after returning from the palace again, "Your lord has already reported it to lord Xu?"
Can you not report it?The queen is the family's own sister.Just don't worry about something happening in the palace.
The fourth master ordered, "Go and call the deputy class leader and tell him to identify the body." Whether the dead are all members of the Xile class, you have to distinguish clearly.
We are almost there, and we can smell blood from afar.
When he got to the front, Fourth Master's brows frowned even tighter. These people didn't seem to have resisted, but rather a massacre.
After turning around once, he walked back, but he couldn't see anything. It's best to have the deputy leader identify the body... and then have to have an autopsy.Fourth Master didn't take a closer look, just looking at the arrangement of the corpses, he knew that these people were not helpless, but showed no sign of fighting back at all. As for the 23 people, not to mention resistance, at least they didn't even have the idea of running when the situation was bad.
Then take the body back for an examination first.
After seeing this, he didn't have a good appetite when he went back.When I went back and told Tongtong, Lin Yutong asked, "You suspect that these people were drugged beforehand..." She became more interested, "I'll go with you when it's over!"
Are you free at home?
It's time to talk about Brother Kun's marriage!
"Just go and have a look... I mainly want to find the two children of the Zhang family..." Hegu, a woman and child, suffered such hardship.
OK!Go if you want.
"Change your clothes and put your face in order." Fourth master didn't have any appetite to eat, so he mixed a bowl of rice with Tong Tong's pickled vegetables, and let it go.
When we went to the government office again, the fourth master was followed by two boys, except for Jin Yi, this boy was dark and slick, Li Cheng took a second look, he always looked familiar.
There are more than 20 corpses, and the morgue can't put them down.Now they are all placed in the front yard of the government office, where the deputy team leader is identifying the corpses.One by one, he can still name them.
23 sentences, all recognized.
The fourth master called the servants again, and went to the Xile class to find other people, preferably those who had worked there for a long time, no matter what they were doing, just bring them along.
After Lin Yutong walked around the 23 people, he stopped beside the corpse of a thin boy, "What's the matter with this person?"
Several people read this question.
yes!This corpse is different from the others. There are no wounds on other faces, and there are almost no scratches. ... Such an actor who hurt his face, went to the palace to sing for the queen?
She continued to ask, "Is he an opera singer or a handyman?" Even if he was a handyman, he would not be able to enter the palace if he put on his face.Not to mention hurting his face, even if he coughed and had a strange smell on his body, he couldn't be sent to the palace to serve the queen in a play.
This is absolutely wrong!
The head of the deputy squad looked bewildered: "...he was fine when he left. He is a pillar, and he is the one who plays the role of a handsome young man. He is the one who takes the lead! Unless..."
unless what?
He lowered his head, not daring to speak, Li Cheng frowned: "If you tell me, just say it, what does it look like to be hesitant?"
The team leader knelt down in fright, "Unless...unless you were injured in the palace..."
If he was injured in the palace, he would have to ask Mr. Zhou to check it out.
But this is obviously suspicious.
Then there was the autopsy, and the surrounding area was covered with cloth, and Lin Yutong didn't ask to stay inside.But you can't look inside, but you can look around outside.This brought back not only the corpse, but also other outfits of the troupe, and several carriages.
Looking at the charcoal fire in the charcoal basin, one can tell that these people got up in the middle of the night and rushed to the capital city before dawn.The fire should have been burning all the time, but the copper pot was carried, and the copper pot was empty, and there was not a sip of water.
It's half a night's journey, no hot water?
It doesn't make sense!
Lin Yutong held the kettle and touched the pot, rubbing out some very fine powder.Put it under the nose and stabilize it, and you will understand immediately.
This is an ordinary Mongolian sweat medicine.
There is no need to wait for the results of the autopsy. These people must have been fascinated, so they were killed without any resistance.
There was no need to even ask further, the few people now had the answer in their hearts: something must have happened in the palace.
After returning back, Lin Yutong asked fourth master: "Does this matter have anything to do with Sister Ying?"
Really hard to say!
Ask someone to go to the palace to inquire, and the answer given there is that the empress is in a good mood recently and has not punished anyone.The Xile class lives in a corner of the palace, and they watch it very closely, and there is nothing wrong with it.When I left, everyone was fine.
Where is everything fine?
Take a face injured into the palace properly?It must be that there are still questions that have not been asked clearly.
Fourth master just said to ask someone to bring the steward and guards from the palace back for questioning, but he couldn't care less.
The fire in the Xu family was extinguished.Then it's amazing!It is said that there was a beggar who wanted to pick up something, and took out a black thing from the cracks in the bricks. He regarded it as iron and wanted to sell it... The iron shop is not stupid, and the weight feels wrong. .In the end, I wiped the black thing, and there was gold in it...
Gold!
Where is it?
Picked up from the ruins of the Xu family!
For a while, the news flew all over the sky like he had grown legs.Group after group of people rushed towards Xu's house.
Jin Shuang and Jin Shi really went there, not only did they go, they also picked up a lot, and even rushed to the mansion to ask Lin Yutong and the fourth master to see: "...the gold is in the cracks in the wall...not every day. Every wall has it... But there are indeed quite a few... The city defense battalion tried to stop it, but it couldn't stop it at all, and ran in desperately. I don't know who said it, it was still buried underground, and now they are all carrying hoes , turn it down inch by inch..."
Sister Ying listened to the excitement, and she was very satisfied with the result.How was it discovered that the gold was hidden in the Xu family's house back then?It was the house that the He family gave to the eldest cousin and brother-in-law next to the Xu family's house.That place was very good when there was no accident in the Xu family.There were no people living in it before, so if you want people to live in, you have to repair it.My brother-in-law bought a carload of stone materials, mainly because there were several wells in the house, and the edges of the wells were all down. If I wanted to build up the edges of the wells, I had to put a big stone slab on the well head, and I would lift the stone slabs regularly every day.Ying is willing to spend more money to raise a few servants, and dare not take risks.As a result, the bullock cart pulling the stone went crazy because the cow was frightened. The bullock cart overturned and crashed into the wall of Xu's house. The courtyard wall of the courtyard has a big hole for the family.The results of it?As a result, the gold inside was seen by people.
For a time, the Xu family was rich, and the rumors that the Xu family was even paved with a layer of gold bricks under the bluestone slabs of the latrine spread all over the world.
In the name of guarding the family wealth, the Xu family recruited bad housekeepers.It is not very conspicuous in the capital, but later, I heard that in a secret house of the Xu family... there is almost an army hidden.Soldiers are trained in the mountains, and the house is the barracks.
Of course... these are all things that she didn't know until long after she married Xu Chun.
Thinking of Xu Chun, her complexion was a little strange and a little dazed.
She couldn't listen to what Jin Shuang and the others said.Before leaving, she whispered to Lin Yutong: "Auntie, I want to go to the palace tomorrow to visit my aunt."
She said earlier that there was something tricky in the palace, so she rushed to the palace.
Lin Yutong instantly understood that even though Sister Ying was not involved in the previous series of poisoning and murder cases, she must have known something.
Sure enough, the tricks are still in the palace.
The fourth master said: "It's just right, the case I'm going to investigate tomorrow is also related to the palace...you want to go with me..."
Sister Ying was taken aback for a moment, and then happily said 'yes'.
After Sister Ying was dismissed, Lin Yutong kept Jin Shuang, "I'm staying for dinner today, I just need to ask you for something..."
Jin Shuang sat up straight at once, "Mother, tell me."
Regarding the two children of the Zhang family, Lin Yutong is really not as easy to deal with as Jin Shuang and the others. They are also rich people to the outside world.The gold you got from the Xu family alone is not a small amount, "...you only said to the outside world that you have received favors from the Xu family... you are willing to pay a big price to buy back those two children... you can talk to sister Lin and the second son-in-law later. Discuss... look for it in the theater troupe... Sister Lin has seen the children of the Zhang family before, and she will definitely know her when she sees them again. Don't worry about spending a lot of money, as long as you offer the price, you will accept it yes……"
Jin Shuang replied on the side, "We'll ask someone when we get back. I also listened to it in a daze before. There was a military general's family over there who redeemed a woman from the Jiaofang Division, saying that she was a distant relative with the family who committed the crime. As long as the price is high, there will be a report of death, and the person will come out..."
It's not easy to figure it out, "As long as you have roughly heard the news, remember to come back and let me know."
Ai!
Because of something, a few people ate and left in a hurry.Lin Yutong sent a car to deliver it in person.
Early the next morning, Sister Ying came over, practiced martial arts for breakfast, and then went out with Fourth Master.I went to the government office first, and the stewards of the palace were invited over there. They recognized the corpse, and they did.These people are the troupe in the palace.There really wasn't anything special happening, and they didn't know anything about why they were killed.The only thing I'm not sure about is the one with the wound on his face, "...he wore a cap when he entered the palace. Everyone in the troupe said that he was in poor health, he didn't dare to see the wind, and had to protect his throat. Otherwise, we can't sing... We thought, and it makes sense. He lifted it up and told us to watch it... But, it was a side view, and our people probably didn't see it clearly... Anyway, he was in the palace , has always been wearing a cap...it should be him. It is impossible for there to be an extra person in the palace!"
It would not be too much, but what if this person was replaced before the palace?
He is Jiaoer, and Jiaoer has some special hobbies.It is to cover the face and half cover the face with the pipa. This is also a means of hype.This kind of person must be alone in a room at ordinary times, and no one should disturb him.Even putting on make-up must not be seen by others...but if you open your voice, you have to reveal your secrets!
Fourth master asked one more question: "Have you heard this man sing?"
The steward shook his head: "This is a matter of the inner palace, we don't know about it."
If you sing it, you will definitely reveal your secrets.
It seems that this still needs to be questioned in the palace.
He would definitely not go by himself, Mr. Zhou had to take him with him, and Li Cheng, the clan, had to take him with him.No matter what, there is only one hostess over there, who is under the melon field and plum, so let's avoid it.A few days after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it was cold, and no one was riding a horse, just a carriage. Three people crowded into a carriage, playing chess and gossiping.Good!
Sister Ying was caught in the middle of a carriage and a person.On the carriage at the front was the steward of the palace who came out from the government office.
I didn't stop much on the road, and all I ate were food boxes brought from home.It was almost after lunch that we arrived at the palace.The three of them will be busy sending Sister Ying inside.It would be best if everyone who has been in contact with the Joy Class can ask detailed questions.
But she said that sister Ying went all the way in to see the queen.
She was brought there directly by the palace people, and the queen today is a completely different woman from before.With short hair, she wears a veil.The veil of red and gold thread makes the face more white and rosy.When you come to the front, you can see that she has been carefully dressed, with a thin layer on the face, and the color of the stuffing is very natural.Eyes sparkling and moist, revealing infinite joy.
At this moment, she stretched out her hand with a smile on her face, and said to her: "Come here quickly, tell Auntie to quietly, will you grow taller in the future?"
Sister Ying smiled, "My aunt tidied up so nicely today. Do you want to summon your wife? It's a bad luck for me to come."
"What kind of wife are you entertaining?" Xu Shinian lightly touched his cheeks with his hand, and couldn't help turning around to look at himself in the bronze mirror. He couldn't see his skin color clearly in the bronze mirror, "It's just that he dressed up better. See for yourself. Happy to read."
Sister Ying cast her eyes on the piano that had been set up again, "Auntie is very interested."
"Idle is idle." As she said, she pulled Sister Ying to sit, "I just said to send someone to look for your father...you are here today."
"Whatever my aunt wants, just send someone to do it. Do you want to find my father? My father is very busy now. I sent Ah Chou back the other day. It seems to mean that there is a letter from my second uncle from Liaodong... I'm afraid that after the spring there, it will be uneasy... He has been busy recently... I heard that the Ministry of Households will transfer grain and silver from the south... This matter is a mess. My uncle is my father or not. I don’t go there. Sometimes when I call, I try to get Mr. Zhou to answer, but he won’t go anyway. When I got off the carriage just now, I heard Mr. Zhou say that my uncle is treacherous.”
Xu Shinian paused, "Your uncle is here?"
"Yeah!" Sister Ying nodded, "Master Zhou and the others are investigating the case outside. Aunt...you don't know?"
"Know what?" Xu Shinian frowned, "What happened outside?"
"The joy troupe that sang for you was killed as soon as he left the palace." Sister Ying sighed, "I came here to see you because I was worried that you would be afraid by yourself. After reading it, I'm relieved!"
Xu Shinian's complexion changed slightly: Killed!
Sister Ying lowered her eyelids, as if she didn't see the change in her face, she started talking about other topics in a blink of an eye, "...The Xu family is such a big family business, 300 years of heritage is not something everyone has... You know that Is there gold hidden in the wall? So much... The people in the city seem to have become rich overnight... It seems that I heard my brother-in-law tell my aunt yesterday that the people have money in their pockets. And it happened to be short of money. Why not sell the barren hills and wasteland cheaply? Someone reclaimed the wasteland, and in the future, food can be grown to feed more people... The imperial court happened to raise funds to go south to buy food piecemeal from the people for military supplies... ...Do you think this Xu family is really a loyal minister of Dayan? The powerful minister is probably true. Otherwise, how could it be possible to save such a large amount of wealth."
To be honest, this Xu family is too conceited.If you have money, you can build walls in your house.Take a look at the Jin family, they keep all their money in the tomb.After all, there are many people who destroy houses and houses in this world, but those who dig people's ancestral graves are very few.
Therefore, the Jin family is much safer than the Xu family.
Therefore, the Xu family originally wanted to use the Jin family as a knife, but they didn't expect to be given one by the Jin family instead.The Jin family became the biggest winner in the end.
Xu Shinian hadn't turned his attention from the side where he was killed, when he heard that the Xu family's money was gone.
Suddenly, she could barely keep the smile on her face.She helped her forehead, and said: "Tell the girl to take you around the palace. Last time I only talked with me, and I didn't even see what the palace looks like. Go, take a walk, I It just happened to take some time to ask someone to ask... what's going on with your uncle's case."
Sister Ying stood up with a smile, "Okay! I happen to be learning Gongbi painting recently, so I will draw a picture for my aunt later."
Xu Shinian nodded and told Sister Ying to go ahead.As soon as people went out, she went to the bedroom at the back and asked the woman who guarded the bedroom.This woman was originally serving in the palace, but she came up from the camp later, she is loyal.Moreover, it can only be loyal to her.
Now she was the only one left in the bedroom, Xu Shinian hurriedly asked, "Where are the others?"
"Go out!" The woman said: "...I'll ask my goddaughter to follow, there will be no mistakes."
Xu Shinian said anxiously: "How long have you been out, hurry up and find him, I'm in a hurry to find him..."
The person she was looking for hurriedly came all the way from a low wall of the palace, and from a distance, she saw a green figure in the plum grove.
Not a queen!
There is no one who can walk freely in the palace, except for the eldest lady of the Xu family.All the worries that had been on his mind completely disappeared the moment he met her.
"Miss Xu." Xu Chun walked over and said hello.
Sister Ying turned around and looked at him. He was dressed in white, with a white brocade cloak outside and a big hat on his head. He was quite indistinguishable.At this moment, he took off his hat so that she could see his face clearly, "We meet again."
His gentle smile is like many, many years ago.That day, he was also standing under the plum blossom tree, and the red petals fell on his white clothes, making him look a bit coquettish.
At that time, her heart was disturbed, she blushed, and he became the person she dreamed of.
At this moment, he is still the same person, just standing in front of him.
Her heart will never move again.She smiled aloofly and politely. I don't know how many times she has rehearsed this expression.Then she heard her say, "Oh! It's you!"
very nice!meet again!
very nice!Finally let me stand in front of you again.
You once regretted wasting time on me, so this life, as you wish.Don't waste your time on me anymore!
She smiled, looked up at him again, and heard him say, "Do you remember me?"
Remember!How can I not remember!
Unforgettable, eternal life will never forget!
!The cumbersome funeral is the most testing, and there are still two days, and there are still two days to end.I have to sleep for two days after feeling finished.Take a bath, stretch your body, even if you don't do anything, just lie on the bed!Too much to suffer!
Someone found her: "How did you find it?" Really a master?
Grandma Zhang frowned and thought for a long time: "I don't know how she found it... I woke up in the middle of the night, and she was sitting by my bed. The light was not on... But I could hear it, it was a woman's voice... ..."
woman?
"How old is the woman?" Lin Yutong asked again.
"I can't tell the age, but the voice is very soft and soft... Among the women I know, I have never heard a woman's voice that speaks so softly and softly..."
Lin Yutong summed it up. What she wanted to say was that this woman sounded like that kind of special woman.
She motioned for her to continue talking, and she already understood the meaning of this layer.
Young Mistress Zhang closed her eyes, "...she is holding my son's amulet in her hand...that thing is worthless, it's just the auspicious coin hanging around the child's neck..."
Um!When copper coins are minted, sometimes there will be all kinds of slightly flawed coins... After all, these things are rare, and those with a little brains will accept this kind of money... Then put them in the temple and switch them as auspicious coins... …For the safety of their children, rich families are willing to spend money to find this.
Weave beautiful knots on this auspicious money and hang it around the child's neck.
"My children's knots are all made by myself, and I never fake other people's hands. The thread used must be boiled and kneaded until it is extremely soft, before it can be hung on the child. The child grows fast, and it takes half a year. Change it once... that thing, I will not admit it wrong..."
guessed!Once it was found out that she had a child who was not dead, everything became clear.
"What does she want you to do?" Lin Yutong asked.
"Give me a pack of medicine, and let me find a way to feed Xu Shisi." She shook her head as she spoke, "But you know how scared these people who have done wrong things are. Do you think he doesn't want to go home?" When it gets dark, he would rather not go home... He would rather take it here, because he is afraid of accidents on the road. In this house, we are like being locked in a cage, not to mention going out for a walk, just interacting with each other If you talk too much, you will be punished. Or you won't be given food...or...you won't be called to wear clothes...you can bear it if you don't eat, but you can't bear it if you don't wear clothes...we can't stand that, we don't even have a chance to talk No. The only chance to see him is to be turned over by him... But after the sign is turned over, the medicine is not easy to take. There are several people in the room watching, from eating to drinking, and even the clothes on our bodies, we are not allowed It happened...it was New Year's Eve, and he drank some wine before...I didn't pretend to say anything, but I gave him a little face that day, and then I got carried away and asked me to pour wine for him... When I was pouring wine, At least three people stared at my movements. If my fingers dared to touch the wine, I would be dragged out immediately... I dare not take risks. Earlier, I put the medicine powder that the woman gave me in my mouth, and then drank it I fed him with a sip of wine...as long as I get things done, that woman...at least will give my child a bowl of food..."
Lin Yutong looked at her: "Think about it again, the more information you can provide me about that woman, the greater the chance that I can find you and my son, and the sooner your mother and child can be reunited. Think again... …Think about it carefully, even if you have heard even a little bit of other movement before or after, or smelled something special about that woman, even if it is a certain habit brought out in the conversation... this is fine..."
movement?smell?Habit?
correct!
"When she came to look for me that night... There was still movement in the main courtyard. Xu Shisi didn't leave that day and turned over the signboard of a girl on the opposite side. That girl was originally a clean lady from some restaurant, but she had a good voice... …When the woman was about to leave, I was a little confused, and vaguely remembered that she stood at the window, opened a small gap in my window, listened to the song for a long time...then said "it's a pity"... ...As for how to get there, I really don't know. I got up and looked carefully, but I didn't see anything different in the room. But you reminded me...the smell...she opened the window, the cold wind As soon as it was blown in, I could smell the smell coming from the window... a bit like the scent of turpentine... I can't smell it very clearly... I can't guarantee it..."
A very feminine woman with an uncontrollable fondness for such things as singing and a smell of turpentine.Is it still possible to go high and high?
Lin Yutong comforted the woman: "The capital city is big even if it's big, and it's small if you say it... If you want to hide the child, no one will find out. Except for the theater troupe, there is probably no other place..."
Young Mistress Zhang's eyes lit up, "Yes! Opera troupe... Only opera troupe... who are used to singing and singing can speak in a proper way..." Her eyes became hot, "That's right! That's right! That's right! That A person is not a woman, he must be a man. If it is a woman, she will not look like a woman in a special way...Only when a man imitates a woman, can he be more feminine than a woman...I said look at how weird and awkward she is As soon as you say it... everything will be clear!" She stretched out her hand and grabbed Lin Yutong, "Please...find my son..."
Although as long as the child is alive, I don't want the child to grow up and become someone else's plaything.
Lin Yutong felt uncomfortable, "My family has some friendship with Mr. Zhang, even if there is no such thing, since he knows it and has the ability to take care of it, he will not ignore it. You can stay at ease..." As he said, He also took out a small wooden bottle like a Buddha statue, the size of a thumb, with a rope made of inconspicuous black silk thread, which can be hung around the neck, "Hold this... there are dozens of medicines in it...you will be Wake up, and then take one pill, it will make you sleep for a day and a night... Don't let anyone notice that you're awake... You have to know that if the poison on Xu Shisi's body cannot be cured for a day, you won't be able to wake up for a day, otherwise..."
"I understand!" She took it and poured out a pill. The granules of this medicine are very small, each one is about the size of a millet, and she felt a little dizzy when she took it in her mouth... But her mind was still blurred, and she still felt a little conscious.
Lin Yutong then stabbed the two women again to ensure that they would wake up slowly in about a quarter of an hour.Only then did he go out, and climbed over the wall carefully.Outside the wall, fourth master and Jin Yi were waiting outside.Seeing that she came out safe and sound, the two of them didn't speak, and just left here first.
In the back alley of the government office, there is basically no one at this point.The three of them left one by one, and it was relatively smooth.
But I didn't want to, before I walked out of the alley, I heard the noise on the street.
Jin Yi exclaimed: "Father, look... where is that? It's on fire!"
That's right!on fire!It can be seen across half of the city.
Lin Yutong looked at Jin Yi: "Do you know where Brother Kun and the others booked a private room? Don't let anything happen..."
The fourth master answered, "It's okay... Sister Lin and her husband have both gone, and the second son-in-law is here, so nothing will happen." Then he sent Jin Yi, "Be careful, go find them, don't call them Worry about me and your mother, we won't go anywhere, we will go in later, if there are too many people, we can just stay in the government office..."
Jin Yi responded and walked away.Sure enough, the streets were in a mess.
The government office is also very busy now, and firefighting has existed in all dynasties.There are different names, but now there are fire soldiers under the government office.There are more than 80 people, how dare Mr. Zi Fu Yin sit still at this meeting, and when he sees Fourth Master, he cups his hands: "Forgive me, I can't be with you today."
Fourth Master pulled two horses without any hassle: "Borrow a horse, the fire is in the direction of the Xu family."
Nowhere, just Xu's?
The house of the Xu family has been around for 300 years.Not sure what secrets are hidden in it.
The grown-up was just saying to be careful along the way, don't call it a stampede, but this man wanted to ride a horse, not only by himself, but also with someone... that person must be a woman.
Before she could ask, the woman quickly got on the horse.
Lin agreed to sit in front of fourth master, so she could control the reins better.When the streets were full of obstacles, she didn't think that fourth master was better than her at riding horses.
The two tried to avoid the big streets and walked through the small alleys.There were a lot of people in the alley at this moment, but Lin Yutong yelled all the way, and stood a little to the side, don't step on anyone when the horse is coming.Many people along the way must have scolded in a low voice, but are people with horses waiting for others?That is daring to speak out.
If you are angry, be angry, and if you scold, you will be scolded twice. At most, it will delay them for a while, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone.
It wasn't until we got close to Xu's house that we realized how big the fire was. Good guy, the flames are soaring into the sky.There was thick smoke billowing nearby, and someone said: "It's a 300-year-old house... It is said that when the Xu family built this house, it was built with pine wood..."
Dry pine wood, pine wood is very oily, and it will burn when it sees sparks.Such a thick smoke must have ignited even the flowers and trees in the house. Those flowers and trees have been growing for so many years, they are lush and thick, and they are wet, so there must be such a big smoke?
In this situation, not to mention hundreds of firefighters, even thousands of firefighters are useless at all.As long as it doesn't spread, it's fine.
The fourth master said, "Let's go! Come back! This fire won't last for three days and three nights."
Also!
When the two arrived home, Brother Kun's group of children had just arrived at the door.I didn't go to see it, and I was anxious to ask what was going on.Who knows about this, anyway, it is on fire.
Lin Yutong told them to go home quickly, "I'm cooking glutinous rice balls. Rice glutinous rice balls made with rice wine, eat a bowl for each person, and go to bed quickly. It's not our business anyway."
Sister Xuan cheered and pulled Wen Lan'er and Sister Ying inside.
Sister Ying glanced at the Xu family when she entered, with a smile on her face.
This one is on fire... It's exciting to watch...
After lying down, Lin Yutong had time to tell the fourth master the news he got: "...After much deliberation, the troupe is the one to check. Although the capital is not big, there are quite a few troupes here. Famous Not to mention those who come and go, there are not a few grassroots teams in various places."
The fourth master shook his head: "To be able to get familiar with the capital and get to know the family members of criminal officials who were sent to the Jiaofang Division, this must not be possible for ordinary grass-roots teams. This person can't get away from the Jiaofang Division..." At this point, he suddenly Thinking about it, "Before... when I inquired about Xu Shisi's news, I remember mentioning a team... Is there?"
have!Joy class!
If you can touch it, you can directly find the room where Mrs. Zhang lives. Someone must have gone in and observed it.He had to go through that courtyard again, and he had to have something to do with the theater troupe... only the Xile troupe.
This is the only place where there is an intersection.
Where is Kexile Class now?
After checking it again, he was sent to the palace.Just got delivered on New Years Eve.
Then it was a coincidence to find the leader of his family... The leader was not there, so he said that he had gone back to his hometown. Before, his hometown sent a letter saying that the old lady at home was not healthy, so he was asked to go back no matter what.
The deputy headmaster had a smile on his face: "...Second Master Xu asked us to act in the palace... It was just arranged a few years ago, and it was said that it was going to the palace on New Year's Eve to serve the empress for a few days... It's settled, headmaster I didn’t dare to delay for a day, it’s been more than half a month.”
Fourth Master looked at him carefully, and asked, "Where's your team... are you all back?"
The deputy class leader shook his head and laughed dryly, "I guess it will be soon. This year and festivals are going to be over... I think it will only be a few days..."
Li Cheng looked at the leader of the class, then at the fourth master. Seeing that the fourth master didn't ask any more questions, he just got up and wanted to leave, so he followed him out: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"Tell people to keep an eye on this troupe..." Fourth Master mused, "I'm afraid the trouble is somewhere else, it's in the palace. You go and arrange people first, I'll go to Xu's Mansion..."
In the end, before the two of them got on their horses, they saw the servants of the government office trotting over, "Second Master, Fourth Master Jin, hurry up, something has happened... Our lord is waiting outside the city..."
What happened?
All the way to the outside of the city, while listening to the guards say: "This morning, as soon as the gate of the city opened, someone came to report, saying that a troupe seemed to have been killed on the official road outside the city... It was placed all over the place. The dead body... Our adults sent people to check... Really, it is a theater troupe of the Jiaofang Division, the Xile Troupe... 23 people, old and young, men and women, none of them survived."
Ok?
As soon as I checked the Xile class, the Xile class was completely dead.Just after returning from the palace again, "Your lord has already reported it to lord Xu?"
Can you not report it?The queen is the family's own sister.Just don't worry about something happening in the palace.
The fourth master ordered, "Go and call the deputy class leader and tell him to identify the body." Whether the dead are all members of the Xile class, you have to distinguish clearly.
We are almost there, and we can smell blood from afar.
When he got to the front, Fourth Master's brows frowned even tighter. These people didn't seem to have resisted, but rather a massacre.
After turning around once, he walked back, but he couldn't see anything. It's best to have the deputy leader identify the body... and then have to have an autopsy.Fourth Master didn't take a closer look, just looking at the arrangement of the corpses, he knew that these people were not helpless, but showed no sign of fighting back at all. As for the 23 people, not to mention resistance, at least they didn't even have the idea of running when the situation was bad.
Then take the body back for an examination first.
After seeing this, he didn't have a good appetite when he went back.When I went back and told Tongtong, Lin Yutong asked, "You suspect that these people were drugged beforehand..." She became more interested, "I'll go with you when it's over!"
Are you free at home?
It's time to talk about Brother Kun's marriage!
"Just go and have a look... I mainly want to find the two children of the Zhang family..." Hegu, a woman and child, suffered such hardship.
OK!Go if you want.
"Change your clothes and put your face in order." Fourth master didn't have any appetite to eat, so he mixed a bowl of rice with Tong Tong's pickled vegetables, and let it go.
When we went to the government office again, the fourth master was followed by two boys, except for Jin Yi, this boy was dark and slick, Li Cheng took a second look, he always looked familiar.
There are more than 20 corpses, and the morgue can't put them down.Now they are all placed in the front yard of the government office, where the deputy team leader is identifying the corpses.One by one, he can still name them.
23 sentences, all recognized.
The fourth master called the servants again, and went to the Xile class to find other people, preferably those who had worked there for a long time, no matter what they were doing, just bring them along.
After Lin Yutong walked around the 23 people, he stopped beside the corpse of a thin boy, "What's the matter with this person?"
Several people read this question.
yes!This corpse is different from the others. There are no wounds on other faces, and there are almost no scratches. ... Such an actor who hurt his face, went to the palace to sing for the queen?
She continued to ask, "Is he an opera singer or a handyman?" Even if he was a handyman, he would not be able to enter the palace if he put on his face.Not to mention hurting his face, even if he coughed and had a strange smell on his body, he couldn't be sent to the palace to serve the queen in a play.
This is absolutely wrong!
The head of the deputy squad looked bewildered: "...he was fine when he left. He is a pillar, and he is the one who plays the role of a handsome young man. He is the one who takes the lead! Unless..."
unless what?
He lowered his head, not daring to speak, Li Cheng frowned: "If you tell me, just say it, what does it look like to be hesitant?"
The team leader knelt down in fright, "Unless...unless you were injured in the palace..."
If he was injured in the palace, he would have to ask Mr. Zhou to check it out.
But this is obviously suspicious.
Then there was the autopsy, and the surrounding area was covered with cloth, and Lin Yutong didn't ask to stay inside.But you can't look inside, but you can look around outside.This brought back not only the corpse, but also other outfits of the troupe, and several carriages.
Looking at the charcoal fire in the charcoal basin, one can tell that these people got up in the middle of the night and rushed to the capital city before dawn.The fire should have been burning all the time, but the copper pot was carried, and the copper pot was empty, and there was not a sip of water.
It's half a night's journey, no hot water?
It doesn't make sense!
Lin Yutong held the kettle and touched the pot, rubbing out some very fine powder.Put it under the nose and stabilize it, and you will understand immediately.
This is an ordinary Mongolian sweat medicine.
There is no need to wait for the results of the autopsy. These people must have been fascinated, so they were killed without any resistance.
There was no need to even ask further, the few people now had the answer in their hearts: something must have happened in the palace.
After returning back, Lin Yutong asked fourth master: "Does this matter have anything to do with Sister Ying?"
Really hard to say!
Ask someone to go to the palace to inquire, and the answer given there is that the empress is in a good mood recently and has not punished anyone.The Xile class lives in a corner of the palace, and they watch it very closely, and there is nothing wrong with it.When I left, everyone was fine.
Where is everything fine?
Take a face injured into the palace properly?It must be that there are still questions that have not been asked clearly.
Fourth master just said to ask someone to bring the steward and guards from the palace back for questioning, but he couldn't care less.
The fire in the Xu family was extinguished.Then it's amazing!It is said that there was a beggar who wanted to pick up something, and took out a black thing from the cracks in the bricks. He regarded it as iron and wanted to sell it... The iron shop is not stupid, and the weight feels wrong. .In the end, I wiped the black thing, and there was gold in it...
Gold!
Where is it?
Picked up from the ruins of the Xu family!
For a while, the news flew all over the sky like he had grown legs.Group after group of people rushed towards Xu's house.
Jin Shuang and Jin Shi really went there, not only did they go, they also picked up a lot, and even rushed to the mansion to ask Lin Yutong and the fourth master to see: "...the gold is in the cracks in the wall...not every day. Every wall has it... But there are indeed quite a few... The city defense battalion tried to stop it, but it couldn't stop it at all, and ran in desperately. I don't know who said it, it was still buried underground, and now they are all carrying hoes , turn it down inch by inch..."
Sister Ying listened to the excitement, and she was very satisfied with the result.How was it discovered that the gold was hidden in the Xu family's house back then?It was the house that the He family gave to the eldest cousin and brother-in-law next to the Xu family's house.That place was very good when there was no accident in the Xu family.There were no people living in it before, so if you want people to live in, you have to repair it.My brother-in-law bought a carload of stone materials, mainly because there were several wells in the house, and the edges of the wells were all down. If I wanted to build up the edges of the wells, I had to put a big stone slab on the well head, and I would lift the stone slabs regularly every day.Ying is willing to spend more money to raise a few servants, and dare not take risks.As a result, the bullock cart pulling the stone went crazy because the cow was frightened. The bullock cart overturned and crashed into the wall of Xu's house. The courtyard wall of the courtyard has a big hole for the family.The results of it?As a result, the gold inside was seen by people.
For a time, the Xu family was rich, and the rumors that the Xu family was even paved with a layer of gold bricks under the bluestone slabs of the latrine spread all over the world.
In the name of guarding the family wealth, the Xu family recruited bad housekeepers.It is not very conspicuous in the capital, but later, I heard that in a secret house of the Xu family... there is almost an army hidden.Soldiers are trained in the mountains, and the house is the barracks.
Of course... these are all things that she didn't know until long after she married Xu Chun.
Thinking of Xu Chun, her complexion was a little strange and a little dazed.
She couldn't listen to what Jin Shuang and the others said.Before leaving, she whispered to Lin Yutong: "Auntie, I want to go to the palace tomorrow to visit my aunt."
She said earlier that there was something tricky in the palace, so she rushed to the palace.
Lin Yutong instantly understood that even though Sister Ying was not involved in the previous series of poisoning and murder cases, she must have known something.
Sure enough, the tricks are still in the palace.
The fourth master said: "It's just right, the case I'm going to investigate tomorrow is also related to the palace...you want to go with me..."
Sister Ying was taken aback for a moment, and then happily said 'yes'.
After Sister Ying was dismissed, Lin Yutong kept Jin Shuang, "I'm staying for dinner today, I just need to ask you for something..."
Jin Shuang sat up straight at once, "Mother, tell me."
Regarding the two children of the Zhang family, Lin Yutong is really not as easy to deal with as Jin Shuang and the others. They are also rich people to the outside world.The gold you got from the Xu family alone is not a small amount, "...you only said to the outside world that you have received favors from the Xu family... you are willing to pay a big price to buy back those two children... you can talk to sister Lin and the second son-in-law later. Discuss... look for it in the theater troupe... Sister Lin has seen the children of the Zhang family before, and she will definitely know her when she sees them again. Don't worry about spending a lot of money, as long as you offer the price, you will accept it yes……"
Jin Shuang replied on the side, "We'll ask someone when we get back. I also listened to it in a daze before. There was a military general's family over there who redeemed a woman from the Jiaofang Division, saying that she was a distant relative with the family who committed the crime. As long as the price is high, there will be a report of death, and the person will come out..."
It's not easy to figure it out, "As long as you have roughly heard the news, remember to come back and let me know."
Ai!
Because of something, a few people ate and left in a hurry.Lin Yutong sent a car to deliver it in person.
Early the next morning, Sister Ying came over, practiced martial arts for breakfast, and then went out with Fourth Master.I went to the government office first, and the stewards of the palace were invited over there. They recognized the corpse, and they did.These people are the troupe in the palace.There really wasn't anything special happening, and they didn't know anything about why they were killed.The only thing I'm not sure about is the one with the wound on his face, "...he wore a cap when he entered the palace. Everyone in the troupe said that he was in poor health, he didn't dare to see the wind, and had to protect his throat. Otherwise, we can't sing... We thought, and it makes sense. He lifted it up and told us to watch it... But, it was a side view, and our people probably didn't see it clearly... Anyway, he was in the palace , has always been wearing a cap...it should be him. It is impossible for there to be an extra person in the palace!"
It would not be too much, but what if this person was replaced before the palace?
He is Jiaoer, and Jiaoer has some special hobbies.It is to cover the face and half cover the face with the pipa. This is also a means of hype.This kind of person must be alone in a room at ordinary times, and no one should disturb him.Even putting on make-up must not be seen by others...but if you open your voice, you have to reveal your secrets!
Fourth master asked one more question: "Have you heard this man sing?"
The steward shook his head: "This is a matter of the inner palace, we don't know about it."
If you sing it, you will definitely reveal your secrets.
It seems that this still needs to be questioned in the palace.
He would definitely not go by himself, Mr. Zhou had to take him with him, and Li Cheng, the clan, had to take him with him.No matter what, there is only one hostess over there, who is under the melon field and plum, so let's avoid it.A few days after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it was cold, and no one was riding a horse, just a carriage. Three people crowded into a carriage, playing chess and gossiping.Good!
Sister Ying was caught in the middle of a carriage and a person.On the carriage at the front was the steward of the palace who came out from the government office.
I didn't stop much on the road, and all I ate were food boxes brought from home.It was almost after lunch that we arrived at the palace.The three of them will be busy sending Sister Ying inside.It would be best if everyone who has been in contact with the Joy Class can ask detailed questions.
But she said that sister Ying went all the way in to see the queen.
She was brought there directly by the palace people, and the queen today is a completely different woman from before.With short hair, she wears a veil.The veil of red and gold thread makes the face more white and rosy.When you come to the front, you can see that she has been carefully dressed, with a thin layer on the face, and the color of the stuffing is very natural.Eyes sparkling and moist, revealing infinite joy.
At this moment, she stretched out her hand with a smile on her face, and said to her: "Come here quickly, tell Auntie to quietly, will you grow taller in the future?"
Sister Ying smiled, "My aunt tidied up so nicely today. Do you want to summon your wife? It's a bad luck for me to come."
"What kind of wife are you entertaining?" Xu Shinian lightly touched his cheeks with his hand, and couldn't help turning around to look at himself in the bronze mirror. He couldn't see his skin color clearly in the bronze mirror, "It's just that he dressed up better. See for yourself. Happy to read."
Sister Ying cast her eyes on the piano that had been set up again, "Auntie is very interested."
"Idle is idle." As she said, she pulled Sister Ying to sit, "I just said to send someone to look for your father...you are here today."
"Whatever my aunt wants, just send someone to do it. Do you want to find my father? My father is very busy now. I sent Ah Chou back the other day. It seems to mean that there is a letter from my second uncle from Liaodong... I'm afraid that after the spring there, it will be uneasy... He has been busy recently... I heard that the Ministry of Households will transfer grain and silver from the south... This matter is a mess. My uncle is my father or not. I don’t go there. Sometimes when I call, I try to get Mr. Zhou to answer, but he won’t go anyway. When I got off the carriage just now, I heard Mr. Zhou say that my uncle is treacherous.”
Xu Shinian paused, "Your uncle is here?"
"Yeah!" Sister Ying nodded, "Master Zhou and the others are investigating the case outside. Aunt...you don't know?"
"Know what?" Xu Shinian frowned, "What happened outside?"
"The joy troupe that sang for you was killed as soon as he left the palace." Sister Ying sighed, "I came here to see you because I was worried that you would be afraid by yourself. After reading it, I'm relieved!"
Xu Shinian's complexion changed slightly: Killed!
Sister Ying lowered her eyelids, as if she didn't see the change in her face, she started talking about other topics in a blink of an eye, "...The Xu family is such a big family business, 300 years of heritage is not something everyone has... You know that Is there gold hidden in the wall? So much... The people in the city seem to have become rich overnight... It seems that I heard my brother-in-law tell my aunt yesterday that the people have money in their pockets. And it happened to be short of money. Why not sell the barren hills and wasteland cheaply? Someone reclaimed the wasteland, and in the future, food can be grown to feed more people... The imperial court happened to raise funds to go south to buy food piecemeal from the people for military supplies... ...Do you think this Xu family is really a loyal minister of Dayan? The powerful minister is probably true. Otherwise, how could it be possible to save such a large amount of wealth."
To be honest, this Xu family is too conceited.If you have money, you can build walls in your house.Take a look at the Jin family, they keep all their money in the tomb.After all, there are many people who destroy houses and houses in this world, but those who dig people's ancestral graves are very few.
Therefore, the Jin family is much safer than the Xu family.
Therefore, the Xu family originally wanted to use the Jin family as a knife, but they didn't expect to be given one by the Jin family instead.The Jin family became the biggest winner in the end.
Xu Shinian hadn't turned his attention from the side where he was killed, when he heard that the Xu family's money was gone.
Suddenly, she could barely keep the smile on her face.She helped her forehead, and said: "Tell the girl to take you around the palace. Last time I only talked with me, and I didn't even see what the palace looks like. Go, take a walk, I It just happened to take some time to ask someone to ask... what's going on with your uncle's case."
Sister Ying stood up with a smile, "Okay! I happen to be learning Gongbi painting recently, so I will draw a picture for my aunt later."
Xu Shinian nodded and told Sister Ying to go ahead.As soon as people went out, she went to the bedroom at the back and asked the woman who guarded the bedroom.This woman was originally serving in the palace, but she came up from the camp later, she is loyal.Moreover, it can only be loyal to her.
Now she was the only one left in the bedroom, Xu Shinian hurriedly asked, "Where are the others?"
"Go out!" The woman said: "...I'll ask my goddaughter to follow, there will be no mistakes."
Xu Shinian said anxiously: "How long have you been out, hurry up and find him, I'm in a hurry to find him..."
The person she was looking for hurriedly came all the way from a low wall of the palace, and from a distance, she saw a green figure in the plum grove.
Not a queen!
There is no one who can walk freely in the palace, except for the eldest lady of the Xu family.All the worries that had been on his mind completely disappeared the moment he met her.
"Miss Xu." Xu Chun walked over and said hello.
Sister Ying turned around and looked at him. He was dressed in white, with a white brocade cloak outside and a big hat on his head. He was quite indistinguishable.At this moment, he took off his hat so that she could see his face clearly, "We meet again."
His gentle smile is like many, many years ago.That day, he was also standing under the plum blossom tree, and the red petals fell on his white clothes, making him look a bit coquettish.
At that time, her heart was disturbed, she blushed, and he became the person she dreamed of.
At this moment, he is still the same person, just standing in front of him.
Her heart will never move again.She smiled aloofly and politely. I don't know how many times she has rehearsed this expression.Then she heard her say, "Oh! It's you!"
very nice!meet again!
very nice!Finally let me stand in front of you again.
You once regretted wasting time on me, so this life, as you wish.Don't waste your time on me anymore!
She smiled, looked up at him again, and heard him say, "Do you remember me?"
Remember!How can I not remember!
Unforgettable, eternal life will never forget!
!The cumbersome funeral is the most testing, and there are still two days, and there are still two days to end.I have to sleep for two days after feeling finished.Take a bath, stretch your body, even if you don't do anything, just lie on the bed!Too much to suffer!
