Master of Rebirth

The commotion at night was so loud that many people heard it.Before dawn, the news of the ghost hall haunting spread among the servants of the Wang family.Many people said that Mrs. Xue was wronged and unwilling to die, so she turned into a ghost and came to claim her life.

Several maids and servants from Nanyuan gathered together, whispering.

"You all know what happened in the mourning hall last night, right?"

A boy said: "There was so much noise last night, how could I not have heard it. My elder brother lives near the mourning hall. I heard from him that there was a woman crying in the mourning hall last night. Don't mention how cautious the voice is. Listen. It is said that some people saw the Second Young Mistress climb out of the coffin and go to strangle the Second Master's neck."

"Isn't the murderer who poisoned the Second Young Mistress already sentenced to beheading? If you want to find the woman who poisoned you, you should go to the prison to find the woman who poisoned her. Why did you come back to scare your own people?" a girl muttered. road.

The boy said: "Everyone says that someone else poisoned Young Mistress to death, not the woman in the prison. The yamen arrested the wrong person, and Young Mistress felt wronged, so she came out to avenge herself."

The boy still wanted to say something, but he was a little scrupulous.He looked around and saw that there were no outsiders around, so he beckoned a few people to come closer, and then said: "I heard that everyone in the mourning hall was fine last night, only the second young master fainted from fright. I was still having nightmares, yelling, 'Don't come to me', 'I didn't kill you', 'He killed you'. Many people heard it at the time."

"No, when I woke up this morning, the Lihua Garden was sealed off, and even the people who usually waited in the courtyard were sent out. Except for the master and madam, and Chief Wang, no one was allowed to enter at all." The servant girl said.

A slightly older maid said in a low voice: "Since the second young lady's accident, I feel strange. So many people have eaten Linglongzhai's dim sum, why did the second young lady die? You say, the second young lady's Death can't really be related to the second master."

"Then who knows..."

A group of people were chatting excitedly, and they didn't notice that Wang Feng led Wang Liang into the courtyard.

Seeing his servants discussing his son's right and wrong, Wang Feng's expression immediately turned cold.

"Ahem!" Wang Liang coughed heavily, staring at the few people with his old eyes.

When they saw Wang Feng and Wang Liang, their faces turned pale with fright, and they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Drag these people to the courtyard, and beat twenty boards with heavy sticks, so that everyone can see what will happen if they gossip in private." Before Wang Feng could speak, Wang Liang sent these people away.

"Master, the little one was wronged, and the little one didn't say anything."

"Boss Wang, please spare me! The little one will never dare again."

Several servants and maids cried and begged, but were dragged out mercilessly by the servants.After a while, there was the sound of court rods and wailing.

Wang Feng has been busy all night, and he has to take care of his son and deal with Xue's family. He is already very tired at this time.He entered the room with a sullen face, and Wang Liang hurriedly sent a servant to bring him hot tea.

After dismissing all the servants in the house, Wang Feng told Wang Liang: "The people in the mourning hall last night and the Lihuayuan are all fine."

In just one night, he seemed to have aged several years, and his whole body exuded an air of decay.

Wang Liang hurriedly said: "Master, don't worry, the old slave has already given orders last night, no one will talk too much. Right now, those guarding the Lihuayuan are all signed death contracts with the mansion, and they will not say anything more. Now that Madam is taking care of her personally, Second Lord will be fine."

Only then did Wang Feng feel a little relieved. He lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then asked, "Is there nothing wrong with the old lady?"

"Fortunately, Fushou Hall is far away, so the old lady didn't hear any movement." Wang Liang said: "The old slave has already ordered the people in the courtyard not to disturb the old lady. Although the people in the house have shocked us, they will not If you talk nonsense, I'm afraid that people from the Xue family will ask. Just in case, until the young lady's funeral is settled, let the old lady stay in the yard, so as not to get bad luck."

"Hey, what an injustice, what an injustice." Wang Feng covered his face, and asked after a while, "Wang Liang, do you think Mrs. Xue's death has anything to do with Long'er?"

Wang Liang panicked, and said: "This... this old servant dare not say."

"Don't say such nonsense between you and me. Even if you don't dare to say it, you can't stop other people's mouths. Right now, the Xue family is still living in the mansion, and they all saw Long'er's reaction yesterday. .Even I became suspicious, let alone them." Wang Feng said with a vicissitudes of life: "Long'er and Mrs. Xue were not on good terms. Mrs. Xue died suddenly. The Xue family must be suspicious, but there is no evidence. .Now that this incident happened again, it was like bumping into someone else's nose."

Although Wang Liang believed that Wang Long must have something to do with Xue's death, he couldn't say so clearly, he could only say: "My lord, no matter whether the second master was involved in this matter or not, the case of the second young mistress has been tried by the yamen. Now that the murderer has been caught, the second master is innocent. The most important thing right now is to appease the people who live in the Xue family and not let them continue to cause trouble. Then quickly arrange the funeral of the second young lady, so as to save the night and dreams. As long as If Xue's family doesn't make trouble, things will be easy."

Wang Feng nodded, "At this point, this is the only way to go. I just hope that Xue's family will stop having trouble."

The Wang family's side is full of gloom, but the Zhu family's mansion is indeed beaming.

"The thing we made last night really had an effect." Yan Wu said happily, "Wang Long was frightened to death, and he was hysterical all the time, saying a lot of things that shouldn't be said. In my opinion, Mrs. Xue is definitely He killed it."

Wang Qi was not as excited as Yan Wu, he asked calmly, "Is there any reaction from the Xue family?"

"Before this subordinate came back, the Xue family was arguing, saying that Xue's death was wronged, and they wanted the Wang family to give an explanation, and they would not allow the funeral. Wang Long went to persuade him personally, but they are still deadlocked." Yan Wu said: "Jinli They are still monitoring, if there is any movement, they will come back and let us know."

Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "As long as the Xue family reports this matter to the Yamen again, we will be able to get started."

"Young Master Wang, I don't understand." Yan Wu asked puzzledly: "Since Wang Long instigated Miss Lianyi's poisoning, the way to buy the medicine was also informed by Xue Cai next to Wang Long. Let's let Lianyi Isn't it all right for the girl to tell the magistrate Liu about this matter? Why do you have to let Xue's family intervene?"

Before Wang Qi could speak, Zhao Jing explained: "Lianyi has already pleaded guilty in court and was sentenced. It has been several days now, and it is naturally not easy for her to retract her confession. Not to mention that County Magistrate Liu may not Even if I met her, Lianyi said it was unfounded, County Magistrate Liu might not believe it, but would suspect that she regretted it and was afraid of death, so he bit Wang Long."

"That's right, Lianyi has already lost the opportunity. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to speak at this time, so I can only wait for the opportunity." Wang Qi snorted coldly and said: "Besides, she said before that she did everything alone. , and now it is said that someone ordered it. There is no evidence, which one do you think Liu County Magistrate will believe?"

Yan Wu said: "It's not without evidence, right? Didn't Lianyi say that every time she met Xue Cai, she was passed on by Chang Pozi with the help of her? Now Chang Po Po is in our hands, and she is the witness ah."

"Mr. Chang has been noticed by you since she was released from the prison. I'm afraid the neighbors haven't seen her for several days." Wang Qi said with a smile: "Magistrate Liu is not stupid. He knows that Mrs. Chang After that, she will definitely go to investigate her affairs. If County Magistrate Liu knew that Mrs. Chang disappeared after she came out of prison, she just came back when she was looking for witnesses in the yamen. Do you think the yamen would doubt her? Mrs. Chang was bribed?"

"This..." Yan Wu hesitated.

Wang Qi glanced at Zhao Jing, and then said: "Besides, after Lianyi was sent to death row, only my people went to see her, and then she reversed the confession, and there happened to be Mrs. Chang who worked in Linglongzhai Do you think magistrate Liu thought that I wanted to frame Wang Long, so I went to the prison to contact Lianyi, and then bought Mrs. Chang to sing this song together? "

"It doesn't make sense." Yan Wu said: "The reason why Lianyi poisoned so many people is to get revenge on you? Could she join hands with you to frame others?"

Wang Qi said coldly: "In order to achieve her goal, she would not hesitate to disregard the lives of so many innocent people. It is no exaggeration to say that such a person is cold-blooded and ruthless. What else can she not do?"

"It's true." Yan Wu laughed a bit, and stopped talking.

Zhao Jing couldn't help but speak for Lianyi, "You can't say that. Lianyi is not cold-blooded and ruthless, but she is too extreme. If she was really ruthless, she would not take her own life for the little favor back then. gone."

"Then she is really affectionate!" Wang Qi smiled contemptuously, and taunted: "In Linglongzhai, is it only you, Mr. Zhao, who are kind to her? Not to mention that Wang Sheng's family treats her like a sister." Look, what did I, Wang Qi, do to offend her? Besides, it is her own business to repay her kindness, so why use other people's lives to pave the way for her?"

Zhao Jing also knew that he was wrong, so he quickly took Wang Qi's hand, squeezed it lightly, and coaxed him with a smile: "Don't be angry, I just said it casually, there is no other meaning. Look at you, angry It's not my heart that hurts my body!"

Wang Qi obviously didn't appreciate it, he took his hand out of Zhao Jing's, and turned away from looking at him.Zhao Jing felt a little embarrassed.

Yan Wu was even more embarrassed. Although he knew about the relationship between the two, it was the first time for them to flirt and scold in front of him, especially when they ran into the famous scene where their master was deflated.

Yan Wu didn't leave, nor did he stay, so he could only change the subject in a hurry, "Ahem, what Wang Gongzi said is true. The subordinate is a rough person, so he can't think so thoroughly. Then according to Wang Gongzi, what should we do?"

Wang Qi raised her head and asked Yan Wu: "Have you found the person who sold Lianyi Arsenic/Shuang?"

"There is still no clue at the yamen, but Xiuwen has some clues. In a few days, there must be a result." Signaling Yanwu to show himself, Zhao Jing looked at Wang Qi and said flatteringly.

Wang Qi ignored Zhao Jing, and continued to say to Yan Wu: "If you find out, don't startle the snake. I always feel that this person is not simple, and there may be a big fish behind him."

"You're right, I think so too." Zhao Jing smiled and said.

Seeing that Wang Qi still didn't understand what she meant, Zhao Jing smiled wryly and touched her nose involuntarily.

Yan Wu naturally wanted to help his master ease the atmosphere, and hurriedly said: "The prince has a clever plan, and his subordinates are stupid, so you don't have to go around in circles. What should you do? Just give an order, and the subordinates will do it immediately."

"To be on the safe side, we still have to start with the Xue family." Wang Qi said slowly: "As long as the Xue family goes to the yamen to file a complaint and let Liu county magistrate retry the case. Chang Pozi can go to the yamen to surrender herself, and make Wang Long's case private. At that time, County Magistrate Liu will definitely re-examine Lianyi, and Lianyi can reason that because Wang Long helped her repay her kindness, that's why she didn't have the heart to confess him. This is much more natural than her own confession , and more convincing.”

Yan Wu couldn't help applauding, "Young Master Wang is really calculating, he is the living Kong Ming!"

Ignoring Yan Wu's flattery, Wang Qi continued: "Anyway, County Magistrate Liu is also looking into the matter of the drug buyers. Since they know that Wang Long and Xue Cai are Lianyi's brokers, they must know more than Lianyi. Even if it is to arrest the drug seller, County Magistrate Liu will have to invite them back. Then you will send the drug seller out to be captured by the Yamen."

"You're right." Zhao Jing looked at Wang Qi and said, "But even if we can catch the drug seller, it can only prove that Wang Long really encouraged Lianyi and has connections with the drug seller, but it cannot prove that Xue is the Wang Long killed him with poison."

Wang Qi didn't speak, Zhao Jing smiled wryly again, and raised his head to signal Yan Wu to ask him.

"My lord, even if you catch the person who bought the medicine, it doesn't prove that Xue Shi was poisoned to death by Wang Long." Even though he couldn't stand the childish rivalry between the two, Yan Wu repeated bitterly.

Only then did Wang Qi calmly say: "It's really impossible to prove it, because we don't have enough evidence to prove that Mrs. Xue was killed by Wang Long, so we can't rule out the possibility that Ms. Xue was poisoned to death by Lianyi."

"Then why is Xue Shi the only one who died?" Zhao Jing said subconsciously: "This is too coincidental."

Wang Qi was obviously more angry, and finally said to Zhao Jing, "Coincidence does not mean that it is impossible to happen. As long as Wang Long denies it and we can't produce real evidence, we can't convict him. Is it according to Mr. Zhao?" What do you mean, in order to save Lianyi, you have to wrong my useless cousin?"

"Of course I didn't mean that, I just said it casually." Sensing that Wang Qi seemed to be slack in rescuing Lianyi, Zhao Jing knew that he was still angry, and didn't dare twist his mind, so he could only soften his voice. : "Okay, okay, what you said is right."

Wang Qi rolled his eyes at him, then turned his head away again.

This is obviously angry and awkward, but in Yan Wu's eyes, it looks like flirting.

"Who poisoned Mrs. Xue to death, I'm afraid only Wang Long knows. But judging from Wang Long's reaction last night, I'm more inclined to be the one who killed Mrs. Xue." Zhao Jing said with a smile.

At this time, someone knocked on the door outside, "Master, Lucy is back."

"Let him in." Zhao Jing gave orders to the outside, and then said to Wang Qi: "You don't know Lu Xi, he and Jin Li have been monitoring the Wang family, and now that they are back, there may be some movement in the Wang family. "

As soon as Zhao Jing finished speaking, a young guy opened the door and came in.He bowed to Zhao Jing first, and then said: "Master, the members of the Xue family were persuaded by Wang Feng, and the matter did not break out."

"How could this be?" Yan Wu couldn't help but asked disappointedly.

Wang Qi asked, "When will Xue's funeral be held?"

"It was originally scheduled for today, but the Xue family made a fuss and pushed it to tomorrow. The Wang family said that Wang Long couldn't bear the pain of losing his wife and fainted, so the funeral was changed tomorrow." Lu Xi said: "Jinli Eldest brother is still watching at the Wang family, little duke, what shall we do?"

Zhao Jing looked at Wang Qi.

Wang Qi lowered her head and pondered for a while before asking: "When Xue's family was making trouble, were you there?"

"The subordinates are watching quietly." Lu Xi said: "The scolding by the Xue family is ugly enough, but the master of the Wang family is thick-skinned enough, just this can be accompanied by a smiling face, and he forced people to come down .”

Wang Qi sneered and said: "Second Uncle has always been able to bend and stretch, since he can pull down this face, it is obviously a guilty conscience. Then I... Where is the old lady of the Wang family?"

"My subordinates haven't seen the old lady of the Wang family. From the beginning to the end, it was the master of the Wang family and a housekeeper named Wang Liang who promised the Xue family." Lu Xi said: "Maybe it's because the old lady of the Wang family is old. she knows."

Yan Wu said urgently: "If Xue's family gives up, no matter how good our plan is, it will be useless."

"It doesn't matter." Wang Qi said with a smile: "You guys go on to make trouble tonight. After you make some noise in the mourning hall, you can scare Wang Long. It's best to scare Wang Long to death, and then let my grandma know."

Zhao Jing was puzzled and said, "Why is this? Aren't you afraid of making your grandma sick?"

"My grandma has always defended her shortcomings, and she is unreasonable. In the past few years, the Xue family has neglected the Wang family a lot because of having a son. My grandma must have a deep prejudice against the Xue family. If she sees the Xue family showing off their power, she must not I will bear it. If she were to provoke Xue's family, I'm afraid my second uncle would say no good things." Wang Qi frowned and thought for a while, then said: "However, my grandma is used to bullying and fearing the hard. When you pretend to be ghosts , it’s best not to alarm her. It’s better not to frighten her into shrinking back, which will make things worse.”

Seeing that Wang Qi wasn't worried about her grandma's health at all, Zhao Jing felt a little uncomfortable.

Yan Wu suddenly realized: "Young Master Wang means that pretending to be a ghost to scare people is the second priority. The main reason is to stir up conflicts between the old lady of the Wang family and the Xue family. It forced the Xue family and the Wang family to turn their faces and go to the yamen to file a complaint."

"That's right." Wang Qi said, "If my grandma knew that Wang Long became like that because of Mrs. Xue, she would definitely take her anger out on Mrs. Xue and the Xue family."

"This is easy." Yan Wu said with a smile: "The subordinates will arrange it now."
