Chapter 15
Chapter 15
Zhang Mansion, three shifts.
Zhang Zhou porridge and Mo Qingshan rested beside the stove.Zhang Zhou porridge snorted loudly, Mo Qingshan slept lightly and couldn't stop feeling wronged. He opened his eyes and kicked him a little, making the snoring louder.
Qi Baiyu hid on a thousand-year-old cypress tree more than [-] meters away from Zhang's house. The tree was more than six feet high. Although it was winter, it was still luxuriant and could cover his whereabouts. Qi Baiyu climbed to a high place and had a panoramic view of the neighborhood several miles away from Zhang's house.
When this strange case happened in the capital, even the fighters refused to act on the streets. They only took the guy, ran to the alley, knocked and shouted twice at random, and ran home quickly.
For several miles, there was only one woman walking slowly along the street, and that woman was naturally He Chunxia.She was a little tired. She took a nap while walking, swaying, and her posture was indecent. Qi Baiyu smiled knowingly and couldn't take her eyes away.
An hour later, He Chun Xia couldn't be sleepy. He ran to the bottom of the cypress tree and leaned against the tree to sleep. Qi Baiyu lifted his spirits, slid down the tree, helped her still, sighed, and had no choice but to carry her back and limped into the Zhang residence. , put it next to Mo Qingshan, Mo Qingshan opened his eyes to see them coming in, but did not speak, buried his head on He Chunxia's chest, picked up He Chunxia's hands and put his hands on his ears and closed his eyes.Qi Baiyu roasted the fire for a while, went out lightly, and went back to the cypress tree. Hearing the cock crowing at the fifth watch, he closed his eyes and took a nap.
At dawn, the group of four got up in a daze and returned to the Concubine's Mansion for breakfast.
Miss Wang is away, she likes to be lively, and she goes to the neighborhood vegetable market early in the morning, listens to the news and gossip, and pays attention to the new progress of the fox demon case.Song Bai went to Du Guanshan's house to play cards yesterday and didn't return, Wang Juaner stayed up all night to study hard, and Yan Zhi Yan Die was busy for a while, so she got some porridge and brought it to her.Yan Zhi went back to the kitchen to toss, Yan Die took a stool and pretended to be sewing, and pricked up her ears to listen to them.
"I heard that the fox demon only eats the eyes of beautiful women, maybe it's because of senior sister."
"Huh?" He Chun Xia glared at him with apricot eyes, "What do you want to say?"
"I said that Senior Sister Shen Yu Luoyan, closed the moon and shamed flowers, and the beauty of the city and the country, such a beauty was not seen by the fox demon, it's really that stupid goblin that blinded its fox eyes!"
Qi Baiyu silently applauded him in his heart.
He Chun Xia "hum", but her face was very happy, she thought for a while, "Yesterday I was listening to the play in Yingxi Pavilion, and the boss cried too sadly, Miss Yuhong died, and she was going to perform a big play for three consecutive days, and she was full of hope. As long as she can come back to life, I think the relationship between the two is not normal." Qi Baiyu was about to speak, but Yan Die grabbed her, "Is the boss Yang Shaochuan or Yang Zijie?"
"It's Yang Shaochuan, why are you asking this?"
"Miss Qin Yuhong is Yang Zijie's concubine who hasn't been there yet. She will get married in two days." Seeing that only Mo Qingshan nodded while eating, the other three didn't know what to say, and added, "Yang Zijie is Yang Shaochuan's only son." Zhang Zhou The porridge muttered, "This son has not seen anyone, but I can't help but howl, this, love son's concubine?"
The crowd started to discuss, Mo Qingshan kept his mouth to eat, and only followed the discussion in his heart. After a while, he knocked on the table and signaled that he wanted to speak. "I recognize the three girls who died. They are all actors from Jiaofang Division. Qin Yuhong is actually a hard worker. Before this year, he finally saved enough money to redeem himself, but Yang Zijie took a fancy to him and was sold by Zhan Jiulang at a high price. Yingxi Pavilion, I am afraid that I will not save enough money to redeem myself in this life."
"It's said to be the top card of Yingxi Pavilion, and I sang it on stage more than a month ago, and I even sang it, crying into tears." Mo Qingshan suddenly thought of something, stopped, Yan Die answered, "Yingxi Pavilion The top girl has always been a Qiaoer sister." Mo Qingshan nodded and said, "Yesterday, Yang Shaochuan paid a lot of money to ask the Mo family's opera troupe to be the top of Yang Qiaoer's space. My grandfather told me to lie to me on stage. Thinking about it, I won't sing anymore, and I won't sing if I kill you!"
Yan Die nodded, "Good girl!" Zhang Zhou Porridge was puzzled, "What's wrong, what's wrong with singing?"
Mo Qingshan clapped the table and stood up, "The best ending for an actor is just to show up to a so-called dignitary, buy it back and become a concubine, look at people's faces, and live carefully."
"Everyone is a person who has finally managed to survive in this world, why should they be beaten and scolded by people! People are despised!"
"It's unbelievable!"
He Chunxia helped her sit down, Mo Qingshan's tears rolled in his eyes, "My grandfather doesn't understand, if he thinks wealth is good, how can I get the glory and wealth that I can get by lowering my eyebrows!"
She didn't say a word.
I don't want a penny of the glory and wealth that I have exchanged for freedom.
She dare not.
Yanzhi took the pot, a bowl of delicate and tender egg custard, carefully sprinkled with a few drops of sesame oil, garnished with a few chopped green onions, and sent it to mid-fourteenth month.In April, I was studying "24 Longevity Map", when I suddenly smelled a faint fragrance and looked up.
Yan Ran smiled.
"Beauty is independent, and she smiles all over the city." In the middle of the fourteenth month, she bowed her head and said a joke. Yan Zhi was happy, and she kept the egg custard softly.
"Can't you understand?"
Yan Zhi nodded, took a bowl and spoon to drink soup in the middle of the fourteenth month, and asked, "Last night after the third watch, I came out to take a breath and see that your house is still lit. Zhi smiled and immediately answered, "Sir, I have heard that there are fox demons in the capital recently. My sister is timid and refuses to turn off the lights. Until midnight, she will only be able to sleep well until I accompany her."
"Yeah." Mid April frowned, "I have a mahogany sword under my pillow. Go get it and hang it at the end of your sister's bed to ward off evil spirits. There is nothing in this world that is more powerful than it."
Yan Zhi took the sword, went to the room and pulled out all kinds of silk threads, specially picked a red thread, went to the end of her sister's bed to hang it, suddenly stopped her hand, thought about it, and turned around to tie the sword to the end of her bed with a red thread.
He went out happily, and went to Mr. Fourteen's room. The soup was exhausted, and before leaving, he turned around and asked, "Is this soup suitable for Mr.'s taste?"
In the middle of April, he didn't lift his head.
"Eat."
Miss Wang led a well-dressed middle-aged man to the entrance. She was very restrained and restrained. She came to the table of He Chunxia, nodded to the juniors, and pretended to glance at Mo Qingshan inadvertently, and said, "I don't know that is Zhang Zhou Porridge. little friend?"
Zhang Zhouporg raised his hand.
They clasped their fists and bowed again, "Little friend, I want your house, and the price is [-]% higher than the market price, how about it?"
Zhang Zhouzhu agreed without saying a word, and didn't even ask anyone's name. When he got the person, he would go to Yan Zhi to get the house deed. He Chunxia and Qi Baiyu both felt that there was a secret in this matter and gave him a wink.Zhang Zhou Porridge was dazzled by the joy and had no time to take care of it, got up and left, the two had to exchange glances and sighed each other.
Yan Zhi recognized this person and said nicely, "Mr. Yang is fine."
Manager Yang raised his eyebrows slightly and was startled, "Miss Yan." After thinking about it, he smiled, "It's a good way out." When Zhang Zhouzhu heard Yang's surname, he noticed something was wrong, and he took Yan Zhi aside to talk on the pretext of discussing, "What is this person doing? of?"
"The director of the Yang family theater troupe is a good person."
Hearing this, Zhang Zhoucong kept his mind, took the house deed and pretended to talk a few words, "Why do you want this house? It's weird, I don't want to live in it myself." Manager Yang smiled and stared at Zhang Zhoucong's eyes. "There is a girl named Qiaoer in my class. She was a close friend of Yuhong girl who died the day before yesterday. She was so sad that she died."
"She is already a freelancer and has accumulated savings for many years. We are in the nine-class business, and we are all lonely and wild ghosts when we die. Miss Qiao'er is unwilling. She ordered to find a better place to build a cemetery, so that everyone can When she is here, she also has a place to go. Before her death, she was a low-class actor who saw all the sufferings of the world. After her death, let her be a young lady of a wealthy family, and she can also enter the ancestral hall of a large family. Your house is fierce, and the living do not want to live there. , give it to her."
In his eyes, he couldn't tell the truth from the fake, Zhang Zhouzhu closed his eyes and thought about it, stood up, and turned his back.
"This is my Zhang family's ancestral house! Do you want to be a ghost house?"
"You have to pay more."
Manager Yang nodded, "Okay, add another [-]%, but I have a request. The tablets and a few precious decorations in the Zhang family's ancestral hall are only available for today."
"How many?"
"I think about it." Manager Yang suddenly laughed twice, "The Zhang family is a big family, and it is normal for some valuables in the ancestral hall."
Yan Zhi served as the guarantor. The two signed and signed and gave the key. Yan Zhi bowed to Director Yang, "Miss Qiao'er has a heart." Director Yang returned the salute, "Miss Yan Zhi has a heart."
After sending it to Director Yang, Yan Zhi took the bank note to collect it, and Zhang Zhouzhu believed her and asked her to manage the account.Zhang Zhou Porridge happily stayed in the main hall to tell everyone what happened just now.He Chunxia and Qi Baiyu exchanged glances while listening. After Zhang Zhou's porridge finished speaking, Qi Baiyu gave a wink and motioned for He Chunxia to speak first.
"Yang Qiaoer is free, has savings, and still wants to stay in the troupe? Director Yang fell in love with her and killed Qin Yuhong as the top card? Yang Qiaoer died of guilt and depression? Huh?" He Chunxia felt a headache.
Mo Qingshan and Yan Die denied it. They are both artists in the third building. Yan Die is familiar with the Yang family troupe. She said, "Director Yang has a wife and daughter, and the relationship is very good. Sister Qiaoer stayed in the troupe because she did not When she went to Yingxi Pavilion, she was unknown, and it was Yang Shaochuan who redeemed her body, so she said that the Yang family was kind to her, and she wanted to repay her kindness."
Qi Baiyu has no clue, "Then are we going to the Ministry of Punishment, Jiaofang Division, Yingxi Pavilion, or Zhang's House now?" Ye Shu entered the door.
"He Chunxia, Mo Qingshan, come out."
Seeing Ye Shu's cold face, the two of them guessed the reason, Mo Qingshan refused to get up, He Chunxia reached out to hold her, the hesitation was fleeting, and he reached out.
Mr. Mo stood in the courtyard, and He Chunxia took the initiative to step forward and hide Mo Qingshan behind him. When Mr. Mo saw this, he snorted coldly, ignored the two, and said to Ye Shu, "Little Ye." Ye Shu wanted to separate the two. People, He Chunxia was not allowed, Ye Shu got angry, "I have no respect, what does it look like?" After a lot of effort, He Chunxia was pushed aside, Mo Qingshan obediently stepped forward to stand behind the old man Mo, and rushed to Ye Shu to make a deep judgment bow.
"Uncle Ye."
"Thank you."
He Chun Xia was in a hurry to make trouble, "Master! Undressed to go back and begging for a beating! What kind of sword master is he, he is a black-hearted" throat, tears came out of pain, covered his neck and crouched down and retched, unable to voice.
Ye Shu bowed his head and apologized to Mr. Mo, "This little apprentice is rude, making Sword Master Mo laugh."
Mr. Mo hummed and turned to Mo Qingshan, "Yesterday, I smashed other people's fields. Boss Yang has a good heart and will not pursue it. If you dare to make trouble on the stage in the future, don't blame me for being cruel."
"I won't be in power again in my life." Mo Qingshan was neither humble nor arrogant, and knelt down and waited to be beaten.
Due to the fact that someone around him was not having a good fit, Mr. Mo coughed twice and held his breath, "Are you able to farm fields or weave cloth? Can you live to this day without Lao Tzu to feed you? If you don't sing? You can't sing. What do you live on?"
"Even if I starve to death, I will never live by selling a smile for a piece of shit!"
The Qiushui sword came out, hanging an inch in front of Mo Qingshan's forehead.
Mo Qingshan raised his head, the tip of his sword pierced into flesh and blood.
Mr. Mo received the Qiushui sword at the age of 23. For the next 50 years, the hand holding the sword has never trembled.
the first time.
The tip of the sword scratched Mo Qingshan's forehead, and blood dripped down the tip of his nose.
Don't bow your head.
Ye Shu supported Mr. Mo, "It's all from his own family. If you are in a hurry, why should you be angry." He secretly worked hard, took Mr. Mo back a step, Mr. Mo withdrew his sword and turned around.
"I have raised you for ten years, and for ten years of food and clothing, I earn it myself, and within a month, it will be delivered to my Mo's house. If I can't do it, I will sell you to be a concubine in a rich family, and I will do it."
"My Mo family, there is no Mo Qingshan anymore."
Go ahead and go.
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, horses are sent to the poor.
Along the way, He Chunxia silently thought about what Master Ye said. "The heart should not be respected, but people do have them. This is called the rules. I have never suffered from poverty, and I am not willing to suffer you. You are too old. A woman in a low position, if she wants to climb up, has to rely on a man to walk the road, making such a request is to understand the difficulty of life and to be well-intentioned."
"The virtue of respecting the old and loving the young must not be forgotten. You have become more self-willed and reckless recently. The beating this time will increase your memory."
One sip, one virtue, one rule, what kind of bullshit!
Four people and four horses, Mo Qingshan was wrapped with white silk on his forehead. When he arrived at the Yingxi Pavilion, he was stopped by the man. "The funeral team has already set off. You guys should ride faster and catch up." Qi Baiyu hit. Greeted and asked, "Where are you going?"
"The Zhang family that was destroyed before, I heard that it will be changed to a cemetery in the future. It's weird."
Zhang Zhou smashed his porridge, smashed his mouth, and rushed forward with his horse. "It's over, I haven't taken the tablet in my ancestral hall yet."
"Qin Yuhong's body is still in the punishment department, guess it is Yang Qiao'er."
After a while, he caught up with the mighty group of people, Buddhist Taoism opened the way, beating gongs and drums, throwing paper money, Yang Shaochuan holding the tablet of Yang Qiaoer at the forefront of the team, weeping, the old man's heart-breaking, it was really sad.
He Chunxia saw it and said, "This old man is interesting, the concubine who cried for her son yesterday, and the girl who cried in the troupe today, is still so sad, she's really amorous." Qi Baiyu pointed to the two people who were holding the coffin, one was Director Yang, the other was One bearded, not tall, with bright eyes, "Director Yang is justifiable to help her with the coffin, and Yang Zijie will help her? This is too much of a show."
"You know, what do you say?"
"Yang Zijie donated a seventh-grade Wenlin Lang from the East Palace. Although he is a casual official, his status is different. He supports a coffin for an actor. If the two have a friendship beyond the world, this is extremely unreasonable."
"What is friendship beyond worldly vision?"
He Chunxia replied, "Qi Ershao means that the two may have an affair." Mo Qingshan shook his head, "Sister Qiao'er certainly won't." One person walked straight from the crowd, and He Chunxia recognized that it was a play last night. To her guest, greeted him, the guest smiled and nodded, but walked forward and bowed to Qi Baiyu first.
"Qi Shaoqing, Xiao Hua, the chief arrester of the Xuanwu Guards of the Six Gates, greets you." Xiao Hua clasped his fist at He Chun Xia again, "Girl, yesterday's sword move was really amazing, and Su Xue's closed disciple of Sword Master deserves his name." Looking at Mo Qingshan, an actor, nodding his head is a gesture of goodwill.
Qi Baiyu asked, "You went upstairs to listen to the play yesterday, and you went to the funeral today, what's the matter? What abnormality did you find in the Yang family?"
Xiao Hua smiled, "You are a big man, you solved the case, the credit will naturally go to you, and I will do my best. It's just that my family has a lot of expenses, and it's Chinese New Year. Just give me [-]% or [-]%." Qi Baiyu just wanted to say that he didn't need to reward money for this case, when he thought about Zhang Zhou porridge, he turned his head and glanced at Mo Qingshan, who heard the money reward thoughtfully, and gave a gracious gesture to Xiao Hua to continue. .
"The details of this case are numerous and intricate, and it will be difficult to explain for a while. I have some guesses, but there is no real evidence, so I can't count." Xiao Hua pointed to the thousand-year-old cypress in front of him, "The Zhang residence is coming, let's watch the burial first, and then I will take you to the Ministry of Justice to check the file and conduct an autopsy, and then everyone will have an idea to discuss."
The crowd dismounted, and followed the funeral crowd into Zhang's house. The Zhang house was not big, with three entrances and two steps. The ancestral hall was in the main courtyard. A group of people came in and crowded the courtyard.In addition to the ancestral hall, other houses are soft and soft. The Yan family sisters have already collected them early. Zhang Zhou porridge has been moved away a few days ago. Enter the door, come over and watch the burial together.
Although the funeral was grand, the coffin was extremely light and thin, and the nails were not even fully inserted into the coffin, but protruded a bit.The two of them could lift it up, Yang Shaochuan put Yang Qiaoer's tablet on the table upright, and cried out again. Looking indifferently.A monk went together and took the compass. The two of them worked together for a while. They chose a tree in the main courtyard with slightly soft soil and ordered people to come over to dig a grave. Zhang Zhou Porridge saw that they cut off the roots of their old tree at will, and felt a little distressed. Putting the package on the ground, he kowtowed a few times and apologized to his ancestors.
The pit was dug very shallow, and it was Director Yang who came over and called to stop, put the coffin in the pit, covered only a shallow layer of soil, and erected the monument hastily.Strange to say, Yang Shaochuan cried when he watched the play, when he saw him off, and when he gave the memorial tablet, but the tears stopped when the coffin was erected and the monument was erected. Look, Director Yang saw that the scene was not good, so he helped Yang Shaochuan to go back first.
After the scene was over and the crowd dispersed, Xiao Hua led the four to stop Yang Zijie, pointed to Qi Baiyu and signaled, "Dali Temple Qi Shaoqing supervises the case of the fox demon, Young Master Yang, let's talk?" Yang Zijie looked calm, Looking at the stone tablet, he said, "It's not appropriate to talk here, go out first."
Under the thousand-year-old cypress trees, people have come out to set up stalls, and they are looking for tea stalls to sit. The big bowl of tea is made of tea leaves, with a little brown sugar added. The entrance is slightly sweet. The others all drank tea to quench their thirst, laughing at themselves.
The tea stall was set up by an old man with a cold attitude. After pouring the tea, he continued to chat with the guests at the next table. Zhang Zhou Porridge glanced at him casually and raised his hand to greet the guest, "Uncle Zhang?" Uncle Zhang caught a glimpse of his official uniform, " "You boy" suddenly changed his face, and rushed over to sit down, "Stinky boy, why did you give your ancestral house to an actor as a shadow house, your father knew about it, and he was so angry that he survived."
"Uncle Zhang, I don't have money or skills, so I really can't live. I can't live in such a big house by myself. I occasionally think of my family when I live in it, and I'm still sad. I have all the tablets with me, and I will kowtow a few more heads to make amends for my ancestors." Zhang Zhouporg patted the parcels around him, Uncle Zhang snorted coldly, and no longer blamed him, he turned to Xiao Hua, "Brother Xiao, the case is being pursued. Here, what did you find?" Then he clasped his fists at Qi Baiyu and He Chunxia, "Young Qi Er, Mrs. He." He glanced at Mo Qingshan, "Who is this?" Mo Qingshan nodded. "Mo Qingshan."
"Hello Zhang Qianhu, Jin Yiwei is very well-informed. If Zhang Qianhu knows anything, he can tell me." Xiao Hua laughed and said, pointing to Yang Zijie, "Brother Yang, what about the two girls? Death, can you talk to us?"
Yang Zijie rolled his eyes, and it took a long time before he spoke, "On the fourth day of the first day, Zhan Jiulang came to invite, saying that Huilan died in the teacher's workshop, and Du Juan and the two girls were short of manpower. Zhan Qiansui wanted to listen to "The Peony Pavilion", so he invited Qin Yuhong and Yang Qiaoer. When they left, Yang Qiaoer came back early, saying that Zhan Qiansui was happy to hear it, and she kept Du Liniang for a reward, but the body was discovered the next day, and it was presumed that it was harmed by evil spirits while walking at night."
The old man from the tea stall suddenly looked here, very unhappy, and shook a small copper bell on the stall. Zhang Qianhu heard the sound and leaned over. The two of them whispered for a while, then sat back and laughed without saying a word.After listening to Xiao Hua, he asked directly, "Miss Qin is the wife of your Yang family who hasn't been through the door. When you enter the palace for a performance, not many servants will follow you back? It's interesting to walk alone at night." Yang Zijie did not answer, after a while, Suddenly, "I know that's all! You are in charge of the case, you go to investigate!" He walked away.
Zhang Qianhu raised his eyebrows, looked at Qi Baiyu and pointed to Mo Qingshan, Qi Baiyu said, "My own person." Only then did he say, "On the fourth day of the fourth day of the first year, the exhibition of Chitose was very grand. People from the East Palace in the capital were all present, and there were many banquets. A hero in the arena."
"Qin Yuhong didn't take the stage, Yang Qiao'er sang Du Liniang."
Qi Baiyu sighed, "I'm afraid that the East Palace will gather popularity to deal with the impeachment of the Bamboo Forest Party during the Spring Festival. So yesterday, Di Tao and I thought together to invite Mr. Shishi out of the mountain, but it didn't work."
Xiao Hua was thoughtful, looked at the old man and the copper bell, and looked at Zhang Qianhu, "Does Zhang Qianhu have anything else to say about this case?"
Zhang Qianhu smiled.
"East Palace."
After chatting for a while, Xiao Hua went to the Ministry of Justice to check the file and conduct an autopsy, and everyone got up and said goodbye.
Zhang Qianhu and the old man continued to sit and drink tea.
If there is no sound of bells.
Penalty, mortuary.
"You guys came too slowly, the bodies of the three were just taken away." The servant handed over the case file, and everyone was a little anxious for a while, Qi Baiyu asked, "Do you remember what that person looked like? Go? How long? In that direction?"
Xiao Hua glanced at the dossier, but he was not in a hurry, "I guess it was Director Yang. He took the body and went to Zhang's house." Hua smiled, "Zhan Weihao has an adopted son who is in the fur business, and he made a pair of mandarin duck hooks. Find the information about this person and send them to my house." The servant responded and left.
Seeing that Qi Baiyu was leading the other three to chase, Xiao Hua stopped him, "I have already examined the bodies of the three of them, and I brought you here to see the evidence as evidence. It doesn't matter if you don't." In the hut, I brewed tea and handed it to Qi Baiyu, "This tea is not bad."
Xiao Hua distributed the dossier to everyone to read, "I don't believe in ghosts and gods. I had three doubts when I took this case. First, who is spreading the rumor that the fox demon is haunting? Second, why goug out people's eyeballs? Have eyes without them? Or see something that shouldn't be seen? Third, all those who died were actors who had been in the Jiaofang Division. Noble, in the palace to sing for dignitaries and Zhan Weihao, is there any connection between the two?"
"During the autopsy, the first two girls had claw marks on their bodies, and the wounds in the eye sockets were extremely tragic. Their faces were calm, without pain, their muscles were slack, and the crotch had the smell of wine. The third girl was completely unrecognizable, with welt marks all over her body, and wounds in the eye sockets. The wounds are extremely neat, and it is obviously the work of the tool. The torture tool that gougs out the eyes cannot be privately owned by the people. It has Jinyiwei and six doors." Xiao Hua paused, "East Palace has it."
"The case is here, the truth is important, and the truth that the world sees is more important." Xiao Hua folded his fists and bowed to the other three except Qi Baiyu, and pointed to the door to evict guests, "Next, I will be with Qi Ershao. I want to talk about personal matters, the three of you are busy with your own affairs first, and I will invite everyone to watch the play at the gate of Zhang’s residence today.”
He Chun Xia and the three were full of doubts. Seeing his serious expression at the moment, it was hard to speak. He excused Zhang Zhou Porridge to make a fortune today, and they should be invited to dinner. Zhang Zhou Porridge agreed and said that the tablet should be released first, and the three of them went out.
Xiao Hua bowed to Qi Baiyu, "Er Young Master Qi, please enjoy the light and have a quick meal at my house."
Xiao's house is not far away, only three streets away from the Ministry of Punishment. On the way, Xiao Hua led a horse for Qi Baiyu, and Qi Baiyu suddenly said, "You have nothing to say."
Xiao Hua smiled, "Zhan Weihao likes to listen to "The Peony Pavilion", so the performance of "The Peony Pavilion" in Beijing is crazy."
Zhan Weihao is a smart man, an old fox in a high position, and his hobbies will become a lever. Therefore, no matter how extravagant his subordinates are, he is frugal in his own food and clothing.Until the New Year last year, his adopted son, Xiao Jing brought a shawl, a whole piece of silver fox fur, he really liked it and wore it once.
Two months later, the spring flowers will bloom, and there will be no foxes in the capital.
The Xiao family has arrived.
Admission to the hospital, there are eight teenagers in the hospital, seven boys and one girl, studying in the hospital. The girl is the youngest, only six or seven years old. She pours water and studies ink for others to call and do some servant things.Xiao Hua coughed twice, called the girl, and wanted to call the two ladies over to serve him, but Qi Baiyu stopped him, indicating that he would only treat each other as ordinary guests.Xiao Hua was also polite, took a handful of lentils, and sat with Qi Baiyu on the small stool in the courtyard to peel the beans.
Qi Baiyu said, "There are so many births, no wonder you are thinking about the reward." Xiao Hua laughed loudly, "They are all adopted sons. I only have a boy and a girl. My son doesn't like to study. He is 14 years old this year and became a small catcher in the surrounding countryside."
"Oh?"
"People in this world are divided into three, six, and nine ranks. After all, catching fast is only a yamen, and even the juniors can't take the imperial examination. I became the head of the catch, and my son has such an opportunity to try the carp jumping from the dragon gate."
"These adopted sons are all sent by the acquaintances, and give them some money so that they can have the opportunity to read and write. If they are admitted, remember my kindness, why not do it."
During the conversation, the two women came out of the inner room, one was older, wearing gold and silver, the other had a good face, coarse cloth clothes, followed carefully behind the former, and when she saw the guests at home, she looked at Qi Baiyu more.The older woman noticed that she turned her head and was slapped in the face, "Little bitch, look at the little white face in front of the master, and tell you to not abide by the virtues of women." The girl came over and hugged the young woman to cry, but was pulled away by the older woman, He was kicked away, "Uneducated little beast, go back and wait for your brothers to study."
Qi Baiyu was very angry when he saw it, and Xiao Hua gave him a look, indicating not to attack.Pointing at the two women, "Madam, concubine." Then he pointed at Qi Baiyu and the two of them, "Guest, make some good dishes."
Mrs. Xiao watched Qi Baiyu peel the beans and followed him. Although he had a handsome face, she guessed that he was not a high-ranking man, so she did not restrain herself, and ordered the concubine to go to the kitchen to cook.She was illiterate and moved a stool to sit in the courtyard, supervising the reading of her adopted sons.Xiao Hua leaned into Qi Baiyu's ear and whispered, "The weak wave the knife to the weaker."
After a while, the meal was served, three dishes and one soup, a cured chicken, a plate of green beans, a plate of dumplings, a bowl of cabbage and tofu soup, the table was served in the house, only two people sat down, and the concubine brought a drawer of steamed buns to Yiyi The boys, "I have added meat, but there is not enough." The girl went to wash her hands and stood there obediently. By the time she was assigned, the steamed buns in the steamer were gone, so she had to take it to the kitchen and pull out the remaining half of the cabbage to help her wash it. Now, poured a small saucer of vinegar and brought it to her.The girl sat aside and dipped in vinegar and nibbled on it.The rest of the teenagers were all eating steamed buns and peeking at the cured chicken on the table in the room, only the girl turned sideways and happily ate her own.
Qi Baiyu was sore and tore off a chicken leg. Seeing that he kept looking at his daughter, Xiao Hua was about to get up again. He immediately stopped him with chopsticks and shook his head at him. Qi Baiyu ignored it, patted the girl on the shoulder and handed the chicken leg. The girl refused to accept it, forcing it into her hand and returning to the table.Sitting down, just about to reprimand Xiao Hua, when he saw him pointing outside the house with chopsticks, he turned to look, the girl first handed the chicken legs to her mother and wanted to eat together, Xiao concubine shook her head and went back to the house to work, the girl was happy Xingdi sat in the position just now, just took a bite of a chicken leg, and was immediately surrounded by his brothers and snatched it away.She let go of her hand quickly, without being beaten, she licked the finger that had taken the chicken leg twice, picked up the cabbage again, and nibbled happily.
Qi Baiyu was really angry, "You are a father, why?"
"I'm a member of the Bamboo Forest Party, why?" Xiao Hua still smiled.
"Second Master Qi, everyone says that you are the hope of the Bamboo Forest Party. You are smart and upright. I am very happy to see you today. I brought you here because I am afraid that you are too smart and upright."
"My wife and I were baby relatives when we were young. Our family was poor, and we had fun in hardship. When I was 20 years old, everyone entered the customs, and there were wars everywhere. She had a big belly. In order to survive, and for this family to survive, she ate A lot of hardships. I have suffered a lot. The hardships are rewarding. I became a headhunter and bought this small house with a yard. I met her. Her father got mad during the war. She didn’t get over it for several years. Even a coffin can’t be bought, and a poor family’s life is worth a coffin.”
"When people were born, the heavens divided people into three, six, and nine classes. Neither of them had ever read or read. They were born in the lowest class. Now they are doing well, but they are still in the first class. Thoughts. My mother has bullied my wife like this, and other rich ladies have bullied her like this, so she should bully others like this, and that little one doesn't think there's anything wrong with her, because she was bullied like this to survive and survive until Now."
Qi Baiyu said, "Your daughter is no longer a first-class person, and you are not a good father."
Xiao Hua smiled, wiped something more in his eyes, and continued talking.
"I later received a lot of adopted sons, and I wanted to provide them with reading, writing, and food and clothing. I devoted myself to the case and just wanted to earn more money to support the family. When I found out, it was already like this."
"Then why don't you ask, why..."
"Because I don't have money. There are very few gentlemen who are willing to teach girls, and the price is very high. As for not asking? My wife is very good, so I won't mention it. Besides, how can ordinary women read and read, not the imperial examination, not the As an official, you cannot do business, there is no way out for women in this world, women from poor families, alas, forget about it." Xiao Hua got up, went to close the window, and called at the door, "Rui'er."
The little girl trotted over, Xiao Hua closed the door, hugged her and sat at the table, dipped in the soup and wrote a few words on the table, with a childish voice.
"In the beginning of human beings, nature is inherently evil."
Xiao Hua tore another chicken leg for her, let her finish it happily, and wiped her mouth, "What did Daddy ask you to do in the room?"
"Daddy loves to drink warm wine, I'll warm it up for Daddy." After saying that, he took the wine glass and put it in his jacket, Xiao Hua hugged her and tickled her, the father and daughter laughed for a while, and let her go out and close the door.
Qi Baiyu raised his glass, Xiao Hua put the glass a little lower, touched it lightly, and drank it all.
Xiao Hua blushed slightly, and was about to speak. The servant came in and handed over the dossier. Xiao Hua gave a few copper plates as a reward, took the dossier and watched it together with Qi Baiyu.
Zhan [-], a northerner, a businessman, and a fox breeder, due to the donation of silver fox skins, the wild foxes were almost extinct within a hundred miles of the capital, and the price of fox skins tripled.Zhang Haiyun, the Qianhu of Jinyiwei Beizhen, reported the case, and Weihao, the chief executive of the Lijian, was angry and said that he did not know the inside story and should be dealt with strictly.
Convicted of confiscating the home.He committed suicide in a fire that day.
Supplement [-]: There are many doubts about suicide in the fire.
Supplement [-]: Demonstrating the eight martial arts skills, making a pair of mandarin duck hooks, the wounds are special, and there are many homicide deceased wounds with similar wounds. There is no actual evidence, only speculation.
Seeing the supplementary recording, Qi Baiyu reminded him of Mu Duanyun, and now Mu Duanyun is injured
Xiao Hua tapped the wine glass with chopsticks, Qi Baiyu came back to his senses, Xiao Hua half-squinted his eyes and said, "Qi Ershao, I am a little person, and the words of a little person's heart."
"When people are born in this world, some people are human, and some people are dogs. I don't want to be a dog, so I joined the Bamboo Forest Party with Mr. Su. We are not greedy for money and do not accept bribes, and we live a tight life." Xiao Hua smiled, " At the beginning, Mr. Su said he wanted a world where everyone is equal, and I believed it. After more than ten years, Mr. Su didn't even let a fart, but there was an East Palace where everyone was the most unequal."
"If you have money, you can become an official, earn more money, and if you have money, you can have power, and you can be superior to others!" Xiao Hua drank again, "It's funny to be drunk. But I still believe what Mr. Su said, I just don't believe him anymore. Now there's an opportunity, an opportunity to wipe out inequality, in the Shangyuan Festival, all the sins and the destruction of the Eastern Palace! Qi Ershao, I beg you, don't say something! Don't say anything! "Xiao Hua was about to kneel when he got off the table, Qi Baiyu helped him up, unable to understand, Xiao Hua lowered his head and laughed a few times.
"You'll understand when you see the play later."
Zhang Mansion, three shifts.
Five cats were on the roof of the side courtyard, candles were lit in the ancestral hall of the main courtyard, and three coffins were placed.Zhang Zhouporg narrowed his eyes and started snoring. He Chunxia kicked him, sniffled, woke up, the weather was cold and the ground was freezing, leaning closer to Qi Baiyu, leaning on him, warm.Mo Qingshan couldn't take it anymore, and asked Xiao Hua in a low voice, "How much money can I get for this case?"
Xiao Hua had just sobered up and stared at the courtyard door with red eyes. When he saw movement, he immediately booed.
"coming."
The door opened a little, and Director Yang walked in with two shovels, strolled around the courtyard, opened the door, and Yang Zijie also came in. The two approached the tree and began to dig graves.
After a while, the coffin board was exposed. Yang Zijie, disregarding his dignity, knelt in the soil, lifted the coffin board with a shovel, and picked up the woman inside. Mo Qingshan saw the woman's face, and his eyes widened. She exclaimed, He Chunxia quickly covered her mouth with her hands, Mo Qingshan gasped and wrote in the palms of everyone's hands.
Qin Yuhong.
The two carried her to the ancestral hall. Yang Zijie took out a pill and gave it to her. He kept massaging her hands, feet, and heart. After a while, Qin Yuhong opened her eyes.
This Du Liniang really came back to life.
Qin Yuhong looked around, noticed the three coffins, saw Yang Qiaoer's tablet on the table, and burst into tears.
Open your mouth, a play.
"Good day. What a beautiful day."
She just babbled and sang in tears. After a long play, she blankly held Yang Qiao'er's tablet.
"This world is a human-eating world!"
The theory that human nature is inherently evil comes from Xunzi.Update every Friday next week.
(End of this chapter)
Zhang Mansion, three shifts.
Zhang Zhou porridge and Mo Qingshan rested beside the stove.Zhang Zhou porridge snorted loudly, Mo Qingshan slept lightly and couldn't stop feeling wronged. He opened his eyes and kicked him a little, making the snoring louder.
Qi Baiyu hid on a thousand-year-old cypress tree more than [-] meters away from Zhang's house. The tree was more than six feet high. Although it was winter, it was still luxuriant and could cover his whereabouts. Qi Baiyu climbed to a high place and had a panoramic view of the neighborhood several miles away from Zhang's house.
When this strange case happened in the capital, even the fighters refused to act on the streets. They only took the guy, ran to the alley, knocked and shouted twice at random, and ran home quickly.
For several miles, there was only one woman walking slowly along the street, and that woman was naturally He Chunxia.She was a little tired. She took a nap while walking, swaying, and her posture was indecent. Qi Baiyu smiled knowingly and couldn't take her eyes away.
An hour later, He Chun Xia couldn't be sleepy. He ran to the bottom of the cypress tree and leaned against the tree to sleep. Qi Baiyu lifted his spirits, slid down the tree, helped her still, sighed, and had no choice but to carry her back and limped into the Zhang residence. , put it next to Mo Qingshan, Mo Qingshan opened his eyes to see them coming in, but did not speak, buried his head on He Chunxia's chest, picked up He Chunxia's hands and put his hands on his ears and closed his eyes.Qi Baiyu roasted the fire for a while, went out lightly, and went back to the cypress tree. Hearing the cock crowing at the fifth watch, he closed his eyes and took a nap.
At dawn, the group of four got up in a daze and returned to the Concubine's Mansion for breakfast.
Miss Wang is away, she likes to be lively, and she goes to the neighborhood vegetable market early in the morning, listens to the news and gossip, and pays attention to the new progress of the fox demon case.Song Bai went to Du Guanshan's house to play cards yesterday and didn't return, Wang Juaner stayed up all night to study hard, and Yan Zhi Yan Die was busy for a while, so she got some porridge and brought it to her.Yan Zhi went back to the kitchen to toss, Yan Die took a stool and pretended to be sewing, and pricked up her ears to listen to them.
"I heard that the fox demon only eats the eyes of beautiful women, maybe it's because of senior sister."
"Huh?" He Chun Xia glared at him with apricot eyes, "What do you want to say?"
"I said that Senior Sister Shen Yu Luoyan, closed the moon and shamed flowers, and the beauty of the city and the country, such a beauty was not seen by the fox demon, it's really that stupid goblin that blinded its fox eyes!"
Qi Baiyu silently applauded him in his heart.
He Chun Xia "hum", but her face was very happy, she thought for a while, "Yesterday I was listening to the play in Yingxi Pavilion, and the boss cried too sadly, Miss Yuhong died, and she was going to perform a big play for three consecutive days, and she was full of hope. As long as she can come back to life, I think the relationship between the two is not normal." Qi Baiyu was about to speak, but Yan Die grabbed her, "Is the boss Yang Shaochuan or Yang Zijie?"
"It's Yang Shaochuan, why are you asking this?"
"Miss Qin Yuhong is Yang Zijie's concubine who hasn't been there yet. She will get married in two days." Seeing that only Mo Qingshan nodded while eating, the other three didn't know what to say, and added, "Yang Zijie is Yang Shaochuan's only son." Zhang Zhou The porridge muttered, "This son has not seen anyone, but I can't help but howl, this, love son's concubine?"
The crowd started to discuss, Mo Qingshan kept his mouth to eat, and only followed the discussion in his heart. After a while, he knocked on the table and signaled that he wanted to speak. "I recognize the three girls who died. They are all actors from Jiaofang Division. Qin Yuhong is actually a hard worker. Before this year, he finally saved enough money to redeem himself, but Yang Zijie took a fancy to him and was sold by Zhan Jiulang at a high price. Yingxi Pavilion, I am afraid that I will not save enough money to redeem myself in this life."
"It's said to be the top card of Yingxi Pavilion, and I sang it on stage more than a month ago, and I even sang it, crying into tears." Mo Qingshan suddenly thought of something, stopped, Yan Die answered, "Yingxi Pavilion The top girl has always been a Qiaoer sister." Mo Qingshan nodded and said, "Yesterday, Yang Shaochuan paid a lot of money to ask the Mo family's opera troupe to be the top of Yang Qiaoer's space. My grandfather told me to lie to me on stage. Thinking about it, I won't sing anymore, and I won't sing if I kill you!"
Yan Die nodded, "Good girl!" Zhang Zhou Porridge was puzzled, "What's wrong, what's wrong with singing?"
Mo Qingshan clapped the table and stood up, "The best ending for an actor is just to show up to a so-called dignitary, buy it back and become a concubine, look at people's faces, and live carefully."
"Everyone is a person who has finally managed to survive in this world, why should they be beaten and scolded by people! People are despised!"
"It's unbelievable!"
He Chunxia helped her sit down, Mo Qingshan's tears rolled in his eyes, "My grandfather doesn't understand, if he thinks wealth is good, how can I get the glory and wealth that I can get by lowering my eyebrows!"
She didn't say a word.
I don't want a penny of the glory and wealth that I have exchanged for freedom.
She dare not.
Yanzhi took the pot, a bowl of delicate and tender egg custard, carefully sprinkled with a few drops of sesame oil, garnished with a few chopped green onions, and sent it to mid-fourteenth month.In April, I was studying "24 Longevity Map", when I suddenly smelled a faint fragrance and looked up.
Yan Ran smiled.
"Beauty is independent, and she smiles all over the city." In the middle of the fourteenth month, she bowed her head and said a joke. Yan Zhi was happy, and she kept the egg custard softly.
"Can't you understand?"
Yan Zhi nodded, took a bowl and spoon to drink soup in the middle of the fourteenth month, and asked, "Last night after the third watch, I came out to take a breath and see that your house is still lit. Zhi smiled and immediately answered, "Sir, I have heard that there are fox demons in the capital recently. My sister is timid and refuses to turn off the lights. Until midnight, she will only be able to sleep well until I accompany her."
"Yeah." Mid April frowned, "I have a mahogany sword under my pillow. Go get it and hang it at the end of your sister's bed to ward off evil spirits. There is nothing in this world that is more powerful than it."
Yan Zhi took the sword, went to the room and pulled out all kinds of silk threads, specially picked a red thread, went to the end of her sister's bed to hang it, suddenly stopped her hand, thought about it, and turned around to tie the sword to the end of her bed with a red thread.
He went out happily, and went to Mr. Fourteen's room. The soup was exhausted, and before leaving, he turned around and asked, "Is this soup suitable for Mr.'s taste?"
In the middle of April, he didn't lift his head.
"Eat."
Miss Wang led a well-dressed middle-aged man to the entrance. She was very restrained and restrained. She came to the table of He Chunxia, nodded to the juniors, and pretended to glance at Mo Qingshan inadvertently, and said, "I don't know that is Zhang Zhou Porridge. little friend?"
Zhang Zhouporg raised his hand.
They clasped their fists and bowed again, "Little friend, I want your house, and the price is [-]% higher than the market price, how about it?"
Zhang Zhouzhu agreed without saying a word, and didn't even ask anyone's name. When he got the person, he would go to Yan Zhi to get the house deed. He Chunxia and Qi Baiyu both felt that there was a secret in this matter and gave him a wink.Zhang Zhou Porridge was dazzled by the joy and had no time to take care of it, got up and left, the two had to exchange glances and sighed each other.
Yan Zhi recognized this person and said nicely, "Mr. Yang is fine."
Manager Yang raised his eyebrows slightly and was startled, "Miss Yan." After thinking about it, he smiled, "It's a good way out." When Zhang Zhouzhu heard Yang's surname, he noticed something was wrong, and he took Yan Zhi aside to talk on the pretext of discussing, "What is this person doing? of?"
"The director of the Yang family theater troupe is a good person."
Hearing this, Zhang Zhoucong kept his mind, took the house deed and pretended to talk a few words, "Why do you want this house? It's weird, I don't want to live in it myself." Manager Yang smiled and stared at Zhang Zhoucong's eyes. "There is a girl named Qiaoer in my class. She was a close friend of Yuhong girl who died the day before yesterday. She was so sad that she died."
"She is already a freelancer and has accumulated savings for many years. We are in the nine-class business, and we are all lonely and wild ghosts when we die. Miss Qiao'er is unwilling. She ordered to find a better place to build a cemetery, so that everyone can When she is here, she also has a place to go. Before her death, she was a low-class actor who saw all the sufferings of the world. After her death, let her be a young lady of a wealthy family, and she can also enter the ancestral hall of a large family. Your house is fierce, and the living do not want to live there. , give it to her."
In his eyes, he couldn't tell the truth from the fake, Zhang Zhouzhu closed his eyes and thought about it, stood up, and turned his back.
"This is my Zhang family's ancestral house! Do you want to be a ghost house?"
"You have to pay more."
Manager Yang nodded, "Okay, add another [-]%, but I have a request. The tablets and a few precious decorations in the Zhang family's ancestral hall are only available for today."
"How many?"
"I think about it." Manager Yang suddenly laughed twice, "The Zhang family is a big family, and it is normal for some valuables in the ancestral hall."
Yan Zhi served as the guarantor. The two signed and signed and gave the key. Yan Zhi bowed to Director Yang, "Miss Qiao'er has a heart." Director Yang returned the salute, "Miss Yan Zhi has a heart."
After sending it to Director Yang, Yan Zhi took the bank note to collect it, and Zhang Zhouzhu believed her and asked her to manage the account.Zhang Zhou Porridge happily stayed in the main hall to tell everyone what happened just now.He Chunxia and Qi Baiyu exchanged glances while listening. After Zhang Zhou's porridge finished speaking, Qi Baiyu gave a wink and motioned for He Chunxia to speak first.
"Yang Qiaoer is free, has savings, and still wants to stay in the troupe? Director Yang fell in love with her and killed Qin Yuhong as the top card? Yang Qiaoer died of guilt and depression? Huh?" He Chunxia felt a headache.
Mo Qingshan and Yan Die denied it. They are both artists in the third building. Yan Die is familiar with the Yang family troupe. She said, "Director Yang has a wife and daughter, and the relationship is very good. Sister Qiaoer stayed in the troupe because she did not When she went to Yingxi Pavilion, she was unknown, and it was Yang Shaochuan who redeemed her body, so she said that the Yang family was kind to her, and she wanted to repay her kindness."
Qi Baiyu has no clue, "Then are we going to the Ministry of Punishment, Jiaofang Division, Yingxi Pavilion, or Zhang's House now?" Ye Shu entered the door.
"He Chunxia, Mo Qingshan, come out."
Seeing Ye Shu's cold face, the two of them guessed the reason, Mo Qingshan refused to get up, He Chunxia reached out to hold her, the hesitation was fleeting, and he reached out.
Mr. Mo stood in the courtyard, and He Chunxia took the initiative to step forward and hide Mo Qingshan behind him. When Mr. Mo saw this, he snorted coldly, ignored the two, and said to Ye Shu, "Little Ye." Ye Shu wanted to separate the two. People, He Chunxia was not allowed, Ye Shu got angry, "I have no respect, what does it look like?" After a lot of effort, He Chunxia was pushed aside, Mo Qingshan obediently stepped forward to stand behind the old man Mo, and rushed to Ye Shu to make a deep judgment bow.
"Uncle Ye."
"Thank you."
He Chun Xia was in a hurry to make trouble, "Master! Undressed to go back and begging for a beating! What kind of sword master is he, he is a black-hearted" throat, tears came out of pain, covered his neck and crouched down and retched, unable to voice.
Ye Shu bowed his head and apologized to Mr. Mo, "This little apprentice is rude, making Sword Master Mo laugh."
Mr. Mo hummed and turned to Mo Qingshan, "Yesterday, I smashed other people's fields. Boss Yang has a good heart and will not pursue it. If you dare to make trouble on the stage in the future, don't blame me for being cruel."
"I won't be in power again in my life." Mo Qingshan was neither humble nor arrogant, and knelt down and waited to be beaten.
Due to the fact that someone around him was not having a good fit, Mr. Mo coughed twice and held his breath, "Are you able to farm fields or weave cloth? Can you live to this day without Lao Tzu to feed you? If you don't sing? You can't sing. What do you live on?"
"Even if I starve to death, I will never live by selling a smile for a piece of shit!"
The Qiushui sword came out, hanging an inch in front of Mo Qingshan's forehead.
Mo Qingshan raised his head, the tip of his sword pierced into flesh and blood.
Mr. Mo received the Qiushui sword at the age of 23. For the next 50 years, the hand holding the sword has never trembled.
the first time.
The tip of the sword scratched Mo Qingshan's forehead, and blood dripped down the tip of his nose.
Don't bow your head.
Ye Shu supported Mr. Mo, "It's all from his own family. If you are in a hurry, why should you be angry." He secretly worked hard, took Mr. Mo back a step, Mr. Mo withdrew his sword and turned around.
"I have raised you for ten years, and for ten years of food and clothing, I earn it myself, and within a month, it will be delivered to my Mo's house. If I can't do it, I will sell you to be a concubine in a rich family, and I will do it."
"My Mo family, there is no Mo Qingshan anymore."
Go ahead and go.
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, horses are sent to the poor.
Along the way, He Chunxia silently thought about what Master Ye said. "The heart should not be respected, but people do have them. This is called the rules. I have never suffered from poverty, and I am not willing to suffer you. You are too old. A woman in a low position, if she wants to climb up, has to rely on a man to walk the road, making such a request is to understand the difficulty of life and to be well-intentioned."
"The virtue of respecting the old and loving the young must not be forgotten. You have become more self-willed and reckless recently. The beating this time will increase your memory."
One sip, one virtue, one rule, what kind of bullshit!
Four people and four horses, Mo Qingshan was wrapped with white silk on his forehead. When he arrived at the Yingxi Pavilion, he was stopped by the man. "The funeral team has already set off. You guys should ride faster and catch up." Qi Baiyu hit. Greeted and asked, "Where are you going?"
"The Zhang family that was destroyed before, I heard that it will be changed to a cemetery in the future. It's weird."
Zhang Zhou smashed his porridge, smashed his mouth, and rushed forward with his horse. "It's over, I haven't taken the tablet in my ancestral hall yet."
"Qin Yuhong's body is still in the punishment department, guess it is Yang Qiao'er."
After a while, he caught up with the mighty group of people, Buddhist Taoism opened the way, beating gongs and drums, throwing paper money, Yang Shaochuan holding the tablet of Yang Qiaoer at the forefront of the team, weeping, the old man's heart-breaking, it was really sad.
He Chunxia saw it and said, "This old man is interesting, the concubine who cried for her son yesterday, and the girl who cried in the troupe today, is still so sad, she's really amorous." Qi Baiyu pointed to the two people who were holding the coffin, one was Director Yang, the other was One bearded, not tall, with bright eyes, "Director Yang is justifiable to help her with the coffin, and Yang Zijie will help her? This is too much of a show."
"You know, what do you say?"
"Yang Zijie donated a seventh-grade Wenlin Lang from the East Palace. Although he is a casual official, his status is different. He supports a coffin for an actor. If the two have a friendship beyond the world, this is extremely unreasonable."
"What is friendship beyond worldly vision?"
He Chunxia replied, "Qi Ershao means that the two may have an affair." Mo Qingshan shook his head, "Sister Qiao'er certainly won't." One person walked straight from the crowd, and He Chunxia recognized that it was a play last night. To her guest, greeted him, the guest smiled and nodded, but walked forward and bowed to Qi Baiyu first.
"Qi Shaoqing, Xiao Hua, the chief arrester of the Xuanwu Guards of the Six Gates, greets you." Xiao Hua clasped his fist at He Chun Xia again, "Girl, yesterday's sword move was really amazing, and Su Xue's closed disciple of Sword Master deserves his name." Looking at Mo Qingshan, an actor, nodding his head is a gesture of goodwill.
Qi Baiyu asked, "You went upstairs to listen to the play yesterday, and you went to the funeral today, what's the matter? What abnormality did you find in the Yang family?"
Xiao Hua smiled, "You are a big man, you solved the case, the credit will naturally go to you, and I will do my best. It's just that my family has a lot of expenses, and it's Chinese New Year. Just give me [-]% or [-]%." Qi Baiyu just wanted to say that he didn't need to reward money for this case, when he thought about Zhang Zhou porridge, he turned his head and glanced at Mo Qingshan, who heard the money reward thoughtfully, and gave a gracious gesture to Xiao Hua to continue. .
"The details of this case are numerous and intricate, and it will be difficult to explain for a while. I have some guesses, but there is no real evidence, so I can't count." Xiao Hua pointed to the thousand-year-old cypress in front of him, "The Zhang residence is coming, let's watch the burial first, and then I will take you to the Ministry of Justice to check the file and conduct an autopsy, and then everyone will have an idea to discuss."
The crowd dismounted, and followed the funeral crowd into Zhang's house. The Zhang house was not big, with three entrances and two steps. The ancestral hall was in the main courtyard. A group of people came in and crowded the courtyard.In addition to the ancestral hall, other houses are soft and soft. The Yan family sisters have already collected them early. Zhang Zhou porridge has been moved away a few days ago. Enter the door, come over and watch the burial together.
Although the funeral was grand, the coffin was extremely light and thin, and the nails were not even fully inserted into the coffin, but protruded a bit.The two of them could lift it up, Yang Shaochuan put Yang Qiaoer's tablet on the table upright, and cried out again. Looking indifferently.A monk went together and took the compass. The two of them worked together for a while. They chose a tree in the main courtyard with slightly soft soil and ordered people to come over to dig a grave. Zhang Zhou Porridge saw that they cut off the roots of their old tree at will, and felt a little distressed. Putting the package on the ground, he kowtowed a few times and apologized to his ancestors.
The pit was dug very shallow, and it was Director Yang who came over and called to stop, put the coffin in the pit, covered only a shallow layer of soil, and erected the monument hastily.Strange to say, Yang Shaochuan cried when he watched the play, when he saw him off, and when he gave the memorial tablet, but the tears stopped when the coffin was erected and the monument was erected. Look, Director Yang saw that the scene was not good, so he helped Yang Shaochuan to go back first.
After the scene was over and the crowd dispersed, Xiao Hua led the four to stop Yang Zijie, pointed to Qi Baiyu and signaled, "Dali Temple Qi Shaoqing supervises the case of the fox demon, Young Master Yang, let's talk?" Yang Zijie looked calm, Looking at the stone tablet, he said, "It's not appropriate to talk here, go out first."
Under the thousand-year-old cypress trees, people have come out to set up stalls, and they are looking for tea stalls to sit. The big bowl of tea is made of tea leaves, with a little brown sugar added. The entrance is slightly sweet. The others all drank tea to quench their thirst, laughing at themselves.
The tea stall was set up by an old man with a cold attitude. After pouring the tea, he continued to chat with the guests at the next table. Zhang Zhou Porridge glanced at him casually and raised his hand to greet the guest, "Uncle Zhang?" Uncle Zhang caught a glimpse of his official uniform, " "You boy" suddenly changed his face, and rushed over to sit down, "Stinky boy, why did you give your ancestral house to an actor as a shadow house, your father knew about it, and he was so angry that he survived."
"Uncle Zhang, I don't have money or skills, so I really can't live. I can't live in such a big house by myself. I occasionally think of my family when I live in it, and I'm still sad. I have all the tablets with me, and I will kowtow a few more heads to make amends for my ancestors." Zhang Zhouporg patted the parcels around him, Uncle Zhang snorted coldly, and no longer blamed him, he turned to Xiao Hua, "Brother Xiao, the case is being pursued. Here, what did you find?" Then he clasped his fists at Qi Baiyu and He Chunxia, "Young Qi Er, Mrs. He." He glanced at Mo Qingshan, "Who is this?" Mo Qingshan nodded. "Mo Qingshan."
"Hello Zhang Qianhu, Jin Yiwei is very well-informed. If Zhang Qianhu knows anything, he can tell me." Xiao Hua laughed and said, pointing to Yang Zijie, "Brother Yang, what about the two girls? Death, can you talk to us?"
Yang Zijie rolled his eyes, and it took a long time before he spoke, "On the fourth day of the first day, Zhan Jiulang came to invite, saying that Huilan died in the teacher's workshop, and Du Juan and the two girls were short of manpower. Zhan Qiansui wanted to listen to "The Peony Pavilion", so he invited Qin Yuhong and Yang Qiaoer. When they left, Yang Qiaoer came back early, saying that Zhan Qiansui was happy to hear it, and she kept Du Liniang for a reward, but the body was discovered the next day, and it was presumed that it was harmed by evil spirits while walking at night."
The old man from the tea stall suddenly looked here, very unhappy, and shook a small copper bell on the stall. Zhang Qianhu heard the sound and leaned over. The two of them whispered for a while, then sat back and laughed without saying a word.After listening to Xiao Hua, he asked directly, "Miss Qin is the wife of your Yang family who hasn't been through the door. When you enter the palace for a performance, not many servants will follow you back? It's interesting to walk alone at night." Yang Zijie did not answer, after a while, Suddenly, "I know that's all! You are in charge of the case, you go to investigate!" He walked away.
Zhang Qianhu raised his eyebrows, looked at Qi Baiyu and pointed to Mo Qingshan, Qi Baiyu said, "My own person." Only then did he say, "On the fourth day of the fourth day of the first year, the exhibition of Chitose was very grand. People from the East Palace in the capital were all present, and there were many banquets. A hero in the arena."
"Qin Yuhong didn't take the stage, Yang Qiao'er sang Du Liniang."
Qi Baiyu sighed, "I'm afraid that the East Palace will gather popularity to deal with the impeachment of the Bamboo Forest Party during the Spring Festival. So yesterday, Di Tao and I thought together to invite Mr. Shishi out of the mountain, but it didn't work."
Xiao Hua was thoughtful, looked at the old man and the copper bell, and looked at Zhang Qianhu, "Does Zhang Qianhu have anything else to say about this case?"
Zhang Qianhu smiled.
"East Palace."
After chatting for a while, Xiao Hua went to the Ministry of Justice to check the file and conduct an autopsy, and everyone got up and said goodbye.
Zhang Qianhu and the old man continued to sit and drink tea.
If there is no sound of bells.
Penalty, mortuary.
"You guys came too slowly, the bodies of the three were just taken away." The servant handed over the case file, and everyone was a little anxious for a while, Qi Baiyu asked, "Do you remember what that person looked like? Go? How long? In that direction?"
Xiao Hua glanced at the dossier, but he was not in a hurry, "I guess it was Director Yang. He took the body and went to Zhang's house." Hua smiled, "Zhan Weihao has an adopted son who is in the fur business, and he made a pair of mandarin duck hooks. Find the information about this person and send them to my house." The servant responded and left.
Seeing that Qi Baiyu was leading the other three to chase, Xiao Hua stopped him, "I have already examined the bodies of the three of them, and I brought you here to see the evidence as evidence. It doesn't matter if you don't." In the hut, I brewed tea and handed it to Qi Baiyu, "This tea is not bad."
Xiao Hua distributed the dossier to everyone to read, "I don't believe in ghosts and gods. I had three doubts when I took this case. First, who is spreading the rumor that the fox demon is haunting? Second, why goug out people's eyeballs? Have eyes without them? Or see something that shouldn't be seen? Third, all those who died were actors who had been in the Jiaofang Division. Noble, in the palace to sing for dignitaries and Zhan Weihao, is there any connection between the two?"
"During the autopsy, the first two girls had claw marks on their bodies, and the wounds in the eye sockets were extremely tragic. Their faces were calm, without pain, their muscles were slack, and the crotch had the smell of wine. The third girl was completely unrecognizable, with welt marks all over her body, and wounds in the eye sockets. The wounds are extremely neat, and it is obviously the work of the tool. The torture tool that gougs out the eyes cannot be privately owned by the people. It has Jinyiwei and six doors." Xiao Hua paused, "East Palace has it."
"The case is here, the truth is important, and the truth that the world sees is more important." Xiao Hua folded his fists and bowed to the other three except Qi Baiyu, and pointed to the door to evict guests, "Next, I will be with Qi Ershao. I want to talk about personal matters, the three of you are busy with your own affairs first, and I will invite everyone to watch the play at the gate of Zhang’s residence today.”
He Chun Xia and the three were full of doubts. Seeing his serious expression at the moment, it was hard to speak. He excused Zhang Zhou Porridge to make a fortune today, and they should be invited to dinner. Zhang Zhou Porridge agreed and said that the tablet should be released first, and the three of them went out.
Xiao Hua bowed to Qi Baiyu, "Er Young Master Qi, please enjoy the light and have a quick meal at my house."
Xiao's house is not far away, only three streets away from the Ministry of Punishment. On the way, Xiao Hua led a horse for Qi Baiyu, and Qi Baiyu suddenly said, "You have nothing to say."
Xiao Hua smiled, "Zhan Weihao likes to listen to "The Peony Pavilion", so the performance of "The Peony Pavilion" in Beijing is crazy."
Zhan Weihao is a smart man, an old fox in a high position, and his hobbies will become a lever. Therefore, no matter how extravagant his subordinates are, he is frugal in his own food and clothing.Until the New Year last year, his adopted son, Xiao Jing brought a shawl, a whole piece of silver fox fur, he really liked it and wore it once.
Two months later, the spring flowers will bloom, and there will be no foxes in the capital.
The Xiao family has arrived.
Admission to the hospital, there are eight teenagers in the hospital, seven boys and one girl, studying in the hospital. The girl is the youngest, only six or seven years old. She pours water and studies ink for others to call and do some servant things.Xiao Hua coughed twice, called the girl, and wanted to call the two ladies over to serve him, but Qi Baiyu stopped him, indicating that he would only treat each other as ordinary guests.Xiao Hua was also polite, took a handful of lentils, and sat with Qi Baiyu on the small stool in the courtyard to peel the beans.
Qi Baiyu said, "There are so many births, no wonder you are thinking about the reward." Xiao Hua laughed loudly, "They are all adopted sons. I only have a boy and a girl. My son doesn't like to study. He is 14 years old this year and became a small catcher in the surrounding countryside."
"Oh?"
"People in this world are divided into three, six, and nine ranks. After all, catching fast is only a yamen, and even the juniors can't take the imperial examination. I became the head of the catch, and my son has such an opportunity to try the carp jumping from the dragon gate."
"These adopted sons are all sent by the acquaintances, and give them some money so that they can have the opportunity to read and write. If they are admitted, remember my kindness, why not do it."
During the conversation, the two women came out of the inner room, one was older, wearing gold and silver, the other had a good face, coarse cloth clothes, followed carefully behind the former, and when she saw the guests at home, she looked at Qi Baiyu more.The older woman noticed that she turned her head and was slapped in the face, "Little bitch, look at the little white face in front of the master, and tell you to not abide by the virtues of women." The girl came over and hugged the young woman to cry, but was pulled away by the older woman, He was kicked away, "Uneducated little beast, go back and wait for your brothers to study."
Qi Baiyu was very angry when he saw it, and Xiao Hua gave him a look, indicating not to attack.Pointing at the two women, "Madam, concubine." Then he pointed at Qi Baiyu and the two of them, "Guest, make some good dishes."
Mrs. Xiao watched Qi Baiyu peel the beans and followed him. Although he had a handsome face, she guessed that he was not a high-ranking man, so she did not restrain herself, and ordered the concubine to go to the kitchen to cook.She was illiterate and moved a stool to sit in the courtyard, supervising the reading of her adopted sons.Xiao Hua leaned into Qi Baiyu's ear and whispered, "The weak wave the knife to the weaker."
After a while, the meal was served, three dishes and one soup, a cured chicken, a plate of green beans, a plate of dumplings, a bowl of cabbage and tofu soup, the table was served in the house, only two people sat down, and the concubine brought a drawer of steamed buns to Yiyi The boys, "I have added meat, but there is not enough." The girl went to wash her hands and stood there obediently. By the time she was assigned, the steamed buns in the steamer were gone, so she had to take it to the kitchen and pull out the remaining half of the cabbage to help her wash it. Now, poured a small saucer of vinegar and brought it to her.The girl sat aside and dipped in vinegar and nibbled on it.The rest of the teenagers were all eating steamed buns and peeking at the cured chicken on the table in the room, only the girl turned sideways and happily ate her own.
Qi Baiyu was sore and tore off a chicken leg. Seeing that he kept looking at his daughter, Xiao Hua was about to get up again. He immediately stopped him with chopsticks and shook his head at him. Qi Baiyu ignored it, patted the girl on the shoulder and handed the chicken leg. The girl refused to accept it, forcing it into her hand and returning to the table.Sitting down, just about to reprimand Xiao Hua, when he saw him pointing outside the house with chopsticks, he turned to look, the girl first handed the chicken legs to her mother and wanted to eat together, Xiao concubine shook her head and went back to the house to work, the girl was happy Xingdi sat in the position just now, just took a bite of a chicken leg, and was immediately surrounded by his brothers and snatched it away.She let go of her hand quickly, without being beaten, she licked the finger that had taken the chicken leg twice, picked up the cabbage again, and nibbled happily.
Qi Baiyu was really angry, "You are a father, why?"
"I'm a member of the Bamboo Forest Party, why?" Xiao Hua still smiled.
"Second Master Qi, everyone says that you are the hope of the Bamboo Forest Party. You are smart and upright. I am very happy to see you today. I brought you here because I am afraid that you are too smart and upright."
"My wife and I were baby relatives when we were young. Our family was poor, and we had fun in hardship. When I was 20 years old, everyone entered the customs, and there were wars everywhere. She had a big belly. In order to survive, and for this family to survive, she ate A lot of hardships. I have suffered a lot. The hardships are rewarding. I became a headhunter and bought this small house with a yard. I met her. Her father got mad during the war. She didn’t get over it for several years. Even a coffin can’t be bought, and a poor family’s life is worth a coffin.”
"When people were born, the heavens divided people into three, six, and nine classes. Neither of them had ever read or read. They were born in the lowest class. Now they are doing well, but they are still in the first class. Thoughts. My mother has bullied my wife like this, and other rich ladies have bullied her like this, so she should bully others like this, and that little one doesn't think there's anything wrong with her, because she was bullied like this to survive and survive until Now."
Qi Baiyu said, "Your daughter is no longer a first-class person, and you are not a good father."
Xiao Hua smiled, wiped something more in his eyes, and continued talking.
"I later received a lot of adopted sons, and I wanted to provide them with reading, writing, and food and clothing. I devoted myself to the case and just wanted to earn more money to support the family. When I found out, it was already like this."
"Then why don't you ask, why..."
"Because I don't have money. There are very few gentlemen who are willing to teach girls, and the price is very high. As for not asking? My wife is very good, so I won't mention it. Besides, how can ordinary women read and read, not the imperial examination, not the As an official, you cannot do business, there is no way out for women in this world, women from poor families, alas, forget about it." Xiao Hua got up, went to close the window, and called at the door, "Rui'er."
The little girl trotted over, Xiao Hua closed the door, hugged her and sat at the table, dipped in the soup and wrote a few words on the table, with a childish voice.
"In the beginning of human beings, nature is inherently evil."
Xiao Hua tore another chicken leg for her, let her finish it happily, and wiped her mouth, "What did Daddy ask you to do in the room?"
"Daddy loves to drink warm wine, I'll warm it up for Daddy." After saying that, he took the wine glass and put it in his jacket, Xiao Hua hugged her and tickled her, the father and daughter laughed for a while, and let her go out and close the door.
Qi Baiyu raised his glass, Xiao Hua put the glass a little lower, touched it lightly, and drank it all.
Xiao Hua blushed slightly, and was about to speak. The servant came in and handed over the dossier. Xiao Hua gave a few copper plates as a reward, took the dossier and watched it together with Qi Baiyu.
Zhan [-], a northerner, a businessman, and a fox breeder, due to the donation of silver fox skins, the wild foxes were almost extinct within a hundred miles of the capital, and the price of fox skins tripled.Zhang Haiyun, the Qianhu of Jinyiwei Beizhen, reported the case, and Weihao, the chief executive of the Lijian, was angry and said that he did not know the inside story and should be dealt with strictly.
Convicted of confiscating the home.He committed suicide in a fire that day.
Supplement [-]: There are many doubts about suicide in the fire.
Supplement [-]: Demonstrating the eight martial arts skills, making a pair of mandarin duck hooks, the wounds are special, and there are many homicide deceased wounds with similar wounds. There is no actual evidence, only speculation.
Seeing the supplementary recording, Qi Baiyu reminded him of Mu Duanyun, and now Mu Duanyun is injured
Xiao Hua tapped the wine glass with chopsticks, Qi Baiyu came back to his senses, Xiao Hua half-squinted his eyes and said, "Qi Ershao, I am a little person, and the words of a little person's heart."
"When people are born in this world, some people are human, and some people are dogs. I don't want to be a dog, so I joined the Bamboo Forest Party with Mr. Su. We are not greedy for money and do not accept bribes, and we live a tight life." Xiao Hua smiled, " At the beginning, Mr. Su said he wanted a world where everyone is equal, and I believed it. After more than ten years, Mr. Su didn't even let a fart, but there was an East Palace where everyone was the most unequal."
"If you have money, you can become an official, earn more money, and if you have money, you can have power, and you can be superior to others!" Xiao Hua drank again, "It's funny to be drunk. But I still believe what Mr. Su said, I just don't believe him anymore. Now there's an opportunity, an opportunity to wipe out inequality, in the Shangyuan Festival, all the sins and the destruction of the Eastern Palace! Qi Ershao, I beg you, don't say something! Don't say anything! "Xiao Hua was about to kneel when he got off the table, Qi Baiyu helped him up, unable to understand, Xiao Hua lowered his head and laughed a few times.
"You'll understand when you see the play later."
Zhang Mansion, three shifts.
Five cats were on the roof of the side courtyard, candles were lit in the ancestral hall of the main courtyard, and three coffins were placed.Zhang Zhouporg narrowed his eyes and started snoring. He Chunxia kicked him, sniffled, woke up, the weather was cold and the ground was freezing, leaning closer to Qi Baiyu, leaning on him, warm.Mo Qingshan couldn't take it anymore, and asked Xiao Hua in a low voice, "How much money can I get for this case?"
Xiao Hua had just sobered up and stared at the courtyard door with red eyes. When he saw movement, he immediately booed.
"coming."
The door opened a little, and Director Yang walked in with two shovels, strolled around the courtyard, opened the door, and Yang Zijie also came in. The two approached the tree and began to dig graves.
After a while, the coffin board was exposed. Yang Zijie, disregarding his dignity, knelt in the soil, lifted the coffin board with a shovel, and picked up the woman inside. Mo Qingshan saw the woman's face, and his eyes widened. She exclaimed, He Chunxia quickly covered her mouth with her hands, Mo Qingshan gasped and wrote in the palms of everyone's hands.
Qin Yuhong.
The two carried her to the ancestral hall. Yang Zijie took out a pill and gave it to her. He kept massaging her hands, feet, and heart. After a while, Qin Yuhong opened her eyes.
This Du Liniang really came back to life.
Qin Yuhong looked around, noticed the three coffins, saw Yang Qiaoer's tablet on the table, and burst into tears.
Open your mouth, a play.
"Good day. What a beautiful day."
She just babbled and sang in tears. After a long play, she blankly held Yang Qiao'er's tablet.
"This world is a human-eating world!"
