Ministers made me a male queen
Chapter 19
But why did Yang Er lie?Can't tell the outside world?Or was it deliberately concealed for some reason?
"You're lying! You don't look like that, Second Young Master, you'd better tell the whole story, otherwise delaying the investigation will only have a bad impact on the Yang family." While Tao Yuzuo was speaking, Yang Da and the others also looked at Yang Er .
Yang Da frowned, "Second brother, Mr. Tao's words are serious? The mother of the ruined garden has long banned others from entering, and now not only are there more of these things, even the second brother and sister died there. If you know something, Say it sooner rather than later."
Yang Er frowned, and finally turned his head: "Brother, don't force me, I really don't know, I have been there, but it was a month or two ago, and I have never stepped in there since then. Even if you continue to check, my lord , and it has nothing to do with me."
Jiao Yun asked from Tao Wuzuo, and kept observing these people. When Yang Er said this, that Qiaozhu kept her head down, knelt there trembling.He couldn't see Qiaozhu's expression, but her reaction...was a bit strange.
Jiao Yun suddenly thought of a detail, the second lady dyed her nails was replaced by Qiaozhu, Qiaozhu seemed to be her personal maid, after she brought back the snacks, she found that the second lady was not there, so instead of looking for it, she went to rest at ease?
Or, was she so relieved because she knew where the second lady had gone?
The wing room at the end of the corridor in the abandoned garden is very clean, the old lady expressly forbids her to step in, if the servants don't have the guts, only the master is left.
For these masters, chances are not great for the first room; the third room is to be determined; the fourth room has only one uncle, who often stays with the old lady, and it is even more impossible to disobey the old lady's wishes, the most likely is the second room.
Yang Er made it clear that he only came here once a month or two ago, but judging by the cleanliness of the wing room, it was obvious that they had been cleaned these days.
Assuming that the second lady is the one who cleans up these things, she, a pampered daughter, will clean up these things?
Then there's just...someone to do it all for her.
This is just a possibility; there is another possibility, that someone else will do it for you, not someone close to you, but someone who is close to the second wife. This can also explain why Yang Er mentioned the tidy room in the abandoned garden. will be so.
The second lady would not come here rashly, so the second possibility is even higher, that is to say... the second lady met someone here in private, and Yang Er knew about it, but he endured it, Even if it is suspected, it will not be mentioned.
Unless, it's about his face.
The word almost flashed in Jiao Yun's mind: cheating.
If this is the case, everything can be explained. Yang Er knew about the matter between the second wife and this person. For the business of the Yang family and the Gong family, he chose to keep it a secret. He didn't want to lose face, so he avoided talking about it.This can also explain why he asked Qiaozhu to hide the matter of the second lady's fingernails in the first place, and wanted to close the case as soon as possible.
Either, because the incident in the outer room exposed him, he simply quarreled and became murderous after a showdown; or, he was afraid that the further the investigation, it would involve the fact that he was greened by his wife.
Jiao Yun had seen that wing room before, it was very clean, but it didn't smell like he had lived in it before. After all, everything was too tidy, so this person could not be from the outside, he could only be from the Yang family.
Jiao Yun frowned, just now when Master Hou summoned all the servants in the mansion to interrogate them one by one, he also saw that there was no one who was enough for the second lady to take risks in the mansion.
The second wife is not short of money, so it is natural to look at her face.
Face...wait, he suddenly thought of Yang San who was yawning frequently, he looked over in disbelief, Yang San just yawned again, and at the same time took a sneak peek at Yang Er.
Jiao Yun's heart beat violently a few times: No... yes?
If it is true, Yang Er's previous reaction is not difficult to imagine, such a thing as being cheated on by the third brother...
Jiao Yun went to look at Yang San again, his peach blossom eyes were watery because of yawning, coupled with a Chinese attire, the corners of his suave and suave eyes were seductively decadent, which was the most attractive.
Jiao Yun frowned tightly. If it was really Yang San, then he couldn't be the one who tidied up the wing room, and then the first possibility was even higher.
In other words, the person who tidies up the wing room is someone who is close to the second lady.
Jiao Yun looked at Qiaozhu, and when Tao Wuzuo mentioned Feiyuan and asked Yang Er, her reaction...was very subtle.
This can also explain why she also obeyed Yang Er's order to conceal the matter of her fingernails at that time. One may be afraid of pulling out this matter;
If the second lady and Yang San really had something, the four suspects would become three.
Yang Er, Yang San, and the third wife Gong Qianer.
Yang Er had a good reason for killing the second wife, and he was so angry that he was afraid that he would be exposed by the green incident; it was also possible for Yang San to kill the second wife. She threatened her with this matter, or something made Yang San feel out of control and had to kill the second wife; as for Gong Qianer , what if...she already knew about her cousin and the person next to her pillow?
Now the key is Qiaozhu, but how can he remind Tao Wuzuo?
Tao Yuzuo was still staring at Yang Er, wanting to know about the ruined garden from him. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a puzzled voice from the child beside him: "Hey, brother Tao, is that sister sick? Why is she always sweat?"
Tao Yuzuo was originally focused on Yang Er, but when he heard the words, he frowned at Qiaozhu who raised his head and confiscated it in panic when he heard the voice.
Jiao Yun grabbed Tao Yuzuo's sleeve, "Brother Tao, why don't you ask this sister who her wife is going to meet? If she knows who she is meeting, she will die when she sees that person. Isn't that person a bad person?" ?" His voice was low and his expression was dazed and puzzled, but Tao Yuzuo didn't think much about it.
Tao Wuzuo squatted down and said, "Why does Brother Yun think who is her wife going to see?"
Jiao Yun tilted his head: "Isn't it? In our village, we only dress well when we go to meet important people, have banquets, or enter the town."
Tao Wuzuo was taken aback for a moment, and the second lady's gorgeous dress and exquisitely dyed nails flashed in his mind, but do you need to dress like this in the mansion?In the past, she thought it was suicide and dressed up, but later she didn't pay much attention to it, but if it was homicide and not suicide, then there is no reason to be like this, unless...she was going to meet someone, and this person was probably the one who killed her people.
A woman dressed up sneakily made an appointment in an abandoned garden, and insisted on tidying up the side room, but not meeting her husband. What does this mean? Based on Tao Wuzuo's experience, he thought of a possibility, but he was not sure yet.
But even so, Tao Yuzuo was almost not excited to hug Jiao Yun, he straightened up, walked quickly to Mr. Hou's ear and murmured a few times in a low voice.
Master Hou was stunned, and then his eyes lit up instantly: "I understand, your idea is very good, then you can go ahead and do it."
Tao Wuzuo quickly walked up to Qiaozhu, condescendingly looking down at the shivering Qiaozhu: "You, come with us, and have a private question."
Qiao Zhu was taken away anxiously, Yang Er's face was really not good-looking, and Yang San's yawning hand paused, his brows raised, and he let go quickly.
Jiao Yun knew that his reminder made Tao Yuzuo connect the former waste garden together, as long as he can force some questions from Qiaozhu's mouth, the context will soon be clear.
At least, the reason for the death of the deceased was found.
Soon, Tao Wuzuo and a few yamen servants came back with ugly faces, and approached Master Hou and whispered a few times in his ear.
Master Hou suddenly stood up straight: "Really?"
Tao Fu hummed, Master Hou looked at the people present, and finally his eyes fell on Yang Er and Yang San, both of them jumped in the eyebrows.
Yang San touched his nose and turned sideways to avoid Yang Er.
Mr. Hou probably worried about the faces of the two Yang brothers before he was sure, and asked the servants to take the Gong family and his wife away first.
The Gong family and his wife were surprised that they hadn't found out what happened to their sister, so why didn't they let them hear it?
Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Yang looked at each other, and for some reason they had a bad feeling, so they took the initiative to take over the matter, and took Mrs. Gong and Mrs. Gong aside.
Only then did Master Hou look at Yang Er and Yang San: "Are you talking about it yourself or the official? Qiaozhu has already confessed everything about Yang San and the second wife, and she has confessed everything about it, including that she let the second wife go to waste. Garden tidying up and cleaning."
"Impossible, how dare she..." Yang Er yelled hastily, but when he met Master Shanghou's gaze, he clenched his fists and lowered his head, but when Yang San called him anxiously, he punched him.
Yang San was beaten to the point where he was lying there, blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, just as he was about to say something in anger, he suddenly raised his head to meet Yang Er's scarlet eyes, trembling with fright, his momentum immediately withered: "Second, second brother... ..."
"I don't have a brother like you!" Yang Er took a deep breath to save him from killing him, and he wiped his face fiercely, "I wanted to do this when I found out about this more than a month ago, it's just...just... Since you two hit it off so much, why did you let me marry her back then!"
Yang Er was so angry that he was going crazy, the things that he had been suppressing in his heart were suddenly exposed, his face was gone, he felt like he was breaking the pot.
Tao Wuzuo and Lord Hou looked at each other, and it seemed...it was true.
Qiao Zhu came late at this time, she was taken aback when she saw the situation, and then met Yang Er's fierce gaze, and shivered in fright: "Second, Second Lord, slave... didn't say anything, slave didn't say anything! "
Both Yang Er and Yang San were taken aback, they looked at Master Hou and Tao Yuzuo in unison.
The two touched their noses, "Well, I didn't ask, but it's not easy to extract a confession by torture, so I cheated you." But I didn't expect...the guess was true. What does Yang San really have with the second lady.
If this is exposed, I'm afraid it will be soaked in a pig cage, right?No wonder Yang Er kept it a secret.
Yang Er gritted his teeth, probably knowing that there was no turning back, he turned to look at Yang San: "I don't ask for anything now, she is dead, I don't pursue the past, but I want to understand, since she likes you more Why did we ask her to choose in private back then, but she chose me?" If she had chosen him before she was married, he would never have said anything else.
Master Hou and Tao Wu exchanged glances, is there any inside story?
Yang San's lips trembled, and he didn't want to say anything, but everything was like this, so he could only bite the bullet and speak.
After Master Hou and the others finished listening, their expressions almost froze.
The Yang family and the Gong family had business dealings a long time ago, so the Gong family, that is, the deceased, knew the four brothers of the Yang family at a very young age. Because they were about the same age as Yang Er and Yang San, it was easier to get along with each other.
When the two brothers became adults, Yang Er helped Yang Da early on, and soon took charge of a lot of real power in the Yang family business; on the other hand, Yang San, because he was good-looking, usually ate, drank and had fun instead of doing business.
At that time, the two brothers were very happy with her, and agreed in private to let Mrs. Gong choose by herself. Mrs. Gong was young and attractive, and she was more inclined to marry Yang San in her heart, but her idea was rejected by her parents, and Yang San saw it as unreliable. He only has a face that can be seen, and he is afraid that he will accomplish nothing in the future; on the contrary, Yang Er will become a good hand, and he will become more and more capable by following Yang Da in the future.
Mrs. Gong didn't want to, she had already had skin-to-skin relationship with Yang San at that time, but Yang San really couldn't support the wall with mud, and she didn't want to suffer hardships with Yang San after the separation, and she finally gritted her teeth and agreed to marry To Yang Er.
Yang San also gave up and left Changyang County for half a year, but after returning, Mrs. Gong happened to quarrel with Yang Er because of some things at that time, and the two got together again.
Yang Er originally thought they were only a few months old at most, but he didn't expect that he had been raped for several years. He gritted his teeth, "She won't let me take a concubine, but she is kind..." At the end of his anger, he wished to beat him up again. Yang San paused.
Yang San was so frightened that he quickly hid behind Master Hou and the others.
Master Hou and Tao Wu exchanged glances, and they had to do it all over again.
Master Hou: "Does your wife know about the matter between you and... the second lady?" He was asking Yang San.
Yang San sneaked a glance at the main wing which was far away from here, and shook his head: "Of course I don't know, if I knew, I'm afraid there would have been a riot."
Master Hou and Tao Wu exchanged glances, which is probably not the case. If...Gong Qian'er also knew, then the three people would be even more suspicious of Gong's death.
There was no motive for committing the crime before, but now there is.
But Yang Er and Yang San refused to admit it.
After Jiao Yun finished listening, he also looked back at the wing room where the third lady was. The door was closed tightly. Because he was confinement, he felt an ominous premonition, especially the soothing incense.
In order to confirm the last possibility in his mind, Jiao Yun looked at Yang San and pointed at him in surprise: "Wow, you also want to kill your wife and children so you can marry someone else?"
Master Hou and Tao Yuzuo only paid attention to asking, but they forgot about Jiao Yun who was too low to have any sense of presence, and they were shocked when they heard this sentence.
Tao Wuzuo was fine, he knew that Brother Yun's father wanted to kill him, so it was not difficult to think of it, but he just said it casually as a child, but when he looked at Yang San again, he caught a glimpse of his dodging gaze, and his heart skipped a beat one time.
Master Hou originally wanted Tao Yuzuo to let the child leave, but when he saw this, he and Tao Yu exchanged glances, then looked at the main room behind them together, his eyes sank, and he scolded: "Yang San, don't tell me , you really did this kind of thing with the second lady!"
Yang Er also looked at his second brother in disbelief, "You...you conspired with that bitch...that woman, what did you do?!" The woman didn't want to have children, so she didn't want the third brother to have children either. Heir?
The faces of all the people present turned ugly, and just when Yang San wanted to quibble, the closed door suddenly opened not far away, and the third lady was already fully dressed and stood at the door, her eyes were calm and she stared at the front silently, It seems to be looking at the crowd, and it seems that they don't see these people at all.
She caressed the door frame, "...Let me do the talking."
Yang San looked at Gong Qian'er who appeared at the door, his face turned pale, she...wouldn't know, would she?
Mammy was about to help Gong Qian'er, but she waved her hand lightly, "Mammy, stay here, I don't want you to hear those bad things, you stay by my side and do your best, this is the last thing I ask you , okay?"
Mammy's eyes were red, but after all she met Gong Qian'er's pleading gaze, she turned around slowly, raised her sleeves and wiped her eyes without following.
Once Gong Qianer changed her previous inability to walk, she walked slowly in front of Master Hou and the others, without looking at the guilty Yang San, she bowed in the direction of Master Hou and said, "My lord, you can let my aunt and uncle Come here? I just want to say it once, in front of them."
Master Hou thinks about it, sooner or later they will know, so they should, let the yamen servant bring the two of them over.
Just because he probably guessed what Gong Qianer was going to say, he asked the two yamen servants to guard the Gongs and his wife, only letting them approach but was ready to stop them depending on the situation.
Mrs. Gong and Mr. Gong came over and saw Gong Qian'er and were still taken aback. Mrs. Gong was surprised, "Sister Qian, you just had a miscarriage, why are you up?"
Gong Qian'er lowered her eyes and clenched her wringing hands, but suddenly turned around and kowtowed three times to Mrs. Gong and Mr. Gong. Under the eyes of the two people who didn't understand why, she turned around again and knelt facing Mr. Hou.
Only then did he speak slowly: "Let me talk about the matter between Sanlang and my cousin."
"Back then, the cousin chose the second brother between the second brother and San Lang, but less than a year later, they got in touch again. The two knew that this was not safe, and sooner or later they would be discovered, and even more so. What's more, San Lang had also reached the age when he should marry a wife. Take a step back, even if others will not find out, the wife San Lang will marry will definitely find out after getting along day and night. If the relationship between the cousin and the new wife is good, if the relationship is not good Well, her frequent visits to the third room will inevitably arouse suspicion. Therefore, in order to make sure that the new wife will definitely have a good relationship with the cousin, and that there will be no inappropriateness in allowing her to enter the third room in the future, she... told me to Saburo."
Hearing this, Mrs. Gong was taken aback. This is not right. She frowned: "Sister Qian, why are you so ungrateful? What do you mean being in contact with Saburo? What do you mean telling you to Saburo? What do you mean? You said you are a good person and still owe you?"
Master Hou looked directly at the yamen servant, and the yamen servant reprimanded him: "Your Excellency, others are not allowed to make noise when you ask questions, and offenders will be punished twenty sticks!"
Mrs. Gong could only bite the bullet, but she gave Gong Qian'er a dissatisfied look behind her.
Mrs. Gong didn't understand, and she probably didn't dare to think in that direction at all, but Master Gong turned pale.
Gong Qian'er's face was dead silent, and Madam Gong's words were indifferent to her, "Because I owe the Gong family love, so I, an orphan who grew up with their parents and was protected by them, was packaged and sent here like this. Not only that, but I also want to be grateful to Dade. Back then, I really thought so, thinking that I would at most talk to a concubine of a merchant, but I didn't expect to be married into the Yang family. What's more, Yang Sanlang frequently went in and out of the Gong family, Back then... I also admired her in my heart, but I never dared to say it."
"At that time, I thought that I was probably lucky in my life. I met such a good cousin, such a good husband, and the days to come would definitely be wonderful. But I was wrong. After marriage, I I rarely see Saburo, he doesn't take concubines, but he hardly stays in the third room. I asked at first, but then I didn't. Originally, it's nothing, at least... I think this kind of life , can live on."
"But until... I was pregnant with my first child. At that time, I was really happy, but it was only half a month after the discovery, and the child was gone. Saburo brought the doctor to check, saying that I was not in good health and couldn't sit still with the child. "
"I tried my best to nourish myself and took a lot of medicine, but these years, I failed to keep my second and third children. I always felt that I was sorry for Saburo... until half a month ago, I became pregnant again. I I was terrified, afraid that the child would be gone, and my cousin came to see me at that time. I was almost sick at that time, and I was too cautious, so that I felt suspicious of everything, but it was kind to me Cousin, so... I still drank what she brought. Until a few days ago, the child disappeared again. That night, I begged Saburo to stay with me, at least talk to me, that is his child too, yes Our unborn fourth child... But he said he had something to do, and even got impatient, so he left in a hurry. I was probably crazy at the time, and I followed the past without telling anyone, wanting to see it with my own eyes Let's see what is so important to him."
"After that... I knew everything above, everything, but my cousin didn't want to settle down and give birth to a child for my second uncle for the time being, but she was also afraid that once I became pregnant and gave birth to an heir, Sanlang's heart would be broken." Gradually gathered by me and the child, so as long as I am pregnant, she will find a way to get rid of it."
When Gong Qian'er said this, she finally couldn't hold back her tears, silently, but even more desperate, "At that time, I was standing outside the wing of the abandoned garden, listening to their words, listening to me always grateful to Dade for being cautious The cousin I treated, she said that I was just a person who eats and drinks from the Gong family, and owed the servants of the Gong family, so it is understandable to bear these for her. But that is my child, and I look forward to it time and time again. Destroyed, she has ruined my life, but she even deprived me of the right to be a mother. They even bribed the doctor to hide the news that I could no longer conceive. I heard her laughing and telling Saburo at that time , if he wants a child in the future, when she can give him one, I... was moved to kill."
Mrs. Gong was listening to the previous words and finally realized the embarrassing expression. When she heard the last few words, she suddenly jumped up, but Master Gong tightly covered her mouth.
Master Gong's face was black and blue, obviously he didn't expect his daughter to do such a thing.
Gong Qian'er lowered her eyes, as if she didn't hear the movement, "I didn't want to live anymore when I started, I wanted to kill them both. But it was too cheap for them, so after they met again last night, I knew that Saburo would come back to catch up on sleep, so I deliberately used the abdominal pain to make the servants of the third room tired all night, and let them rest when the sky was bright. I put calming incense in the incense burner in the outer room, he fell into a deep sleep, he didn't know what happened, after that, I went outside the abandoned garden when they asked to meet."
"I tied a special knot on the dead tree, which is a signal when they want to meet. Sure enough, she came dressed up, but she was stunned when she saw me. She thought I knew it but still Threatening me not to speak out, I took advantage of her pride and stunned her with the drug I had prepared a long time ago. Your lord should know everything about it. I originally planned that if I didn't find out, I would be She hanged herself, but after that I will make public the matter between her and Saburo before committing suicide so that he will experience the pain I have suffered for the rest of his life; I didn't expect to put the blame on Saburo...My lord, you found out earlier than I expected, so it will be a matter of time before you find out what I have done."
Tao Wuzuo didn't say anything for a long time: "Actually, you didn't say..."
Gong Qian'er shook her head: "I am too weak. It took a lot of effort to make her commit suicide. There are bruises on her shoulders and arms. Once you think about it, it will happen sooner or later. What's more, I am also tired..." Obviously she After more than 20 years, it seems like a lifetime has passed.
At this moment, Mrs. Gong finally struggled away, wanting to rush over: "You killed my daughter! You pay my life back!"
Gong Qian'er didn't look at her, and lowered her eyes, "The three kneelings just now, I repaid your Gong family's kindness in nurturing, she owed me the lives of four unborn children, so she had to die to pay for it. And I killed her , I will pay for my life too. A life for a life, I will give it back to her."
"My sister..." Mrs. Gong cried out.
Master Gong yelled loudly: "Shut up! It's you who spoiled her and made her do such a thing...she..." Master Gong sighed, "It's our Gong family who can't help you..."
Gong Qian'er swayed for a while, finally gave a wry smile, and kowtowed in Master Hou's direction again, but after kowtowing, she didn't raise her head for a long time.
Jiao Yun didn't realize anything at first, but when he realized it had been too long, his face changed slightly, "Brother Tao, she..."
Tao Yuzuo was feeling uncomfortable, and when he looked closely, his expression changed, and he hurried forward to help Gong Qian'er, only to find that she had closed her eyes, with a smile on her lips, and a dagger tightly grasped in her hands, she had long since known when to stab her. Into the waist and abdomen, she has lost her breath.
It was already half an hour later when Tao Yuzuo took Jiao Yun out of the gate of the Yang Mansion in a hurry.
Gong Qian'er died, the body and evidence, as well as the confessions of the Yang family, etc. need to be reorganized, and the matter between Yang San and the second wife was also committed. The second wife is dead, but Yang San still needs to be brought back to the county government.
Mr. Hou thought that Tao Wuzuo had made meritorious service this time, and when he heard him mention Jiao Yun, he allowed him to send Jiao Yun first and then return.
From the third room all the way to the gate of the Yang Mansion, Jiao Yun lowered his head. Gong Qian'er's death made him feel uncomfortable, but people cannot be resurrected after death. Thinking of Wanniang who was still waiting for him, Jiao Yun cheered up.
When the gate opened, Jiao Yun didn't expect to see Wanniang sitting on the bullock cart outside Yang's mansion. The latter was looking this way, and Jiao Yun's eyes lit up, and his anxious face eased, "Yun brothers!"
Jiao Yun called out to his mother, and trotted over, "Mother, why are you here?"
"It's not you, kid. It took half an hour, but how long has it been? Thanks to someone who saw Tao Yuzuo brought you to Yang's mansion to investigate the case. These people won't let mother in. Mother is waiting here " Wanniang still trusts Tao Fuzuo, and the county magistrate Hou is also in the mansion, so she can feel at ease, otherwise, she might not be able to resist breaking in.
Jiao Yun opened his arms, Wanniang had already jumped down and carried him into the bullock cart, and when she turned around, she saw Tao Zuo standing there stiffly and apologetically.
Wanniang turned sideways, not facing Tao Yu, and blessed her body, "Mr. Tao."
Tao Yuzuo felt guilty and uncomfortable: "I'm sorry, the death of the second lady in this mansion is a bit tricky, and I forgot it as soon as I checked it out. I'm afraid Mrs. Jiao is in a hurry." He cupped his hands and bowed to the bottom, making Wanniang panic Get out of the way, "Mr. Tao, you can't do this, it doesn't get in the way, as long as Brother Yun didn't cause trouble."
Tao Wu said: "Where is it, this kid is very smart, thanks to his carefulness, he helped a lot."
Wanniang didn't believe it, she only thought Tao was an excuse for fearing that she would scold the child, but she also thanked Mr. Tao for his carefulness.Because Wanniang is a woman who doesn't like to talk too much with outside men, she quickly got into the bullock cart, said goodbye to Tao Yu, and took Jiao Yun away.
Tao Yuzuo watched the bullock cart gradually go away, watched Jiao Yun keep waving at him, couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, blinked, and waved goodbye.
When Tao Wuzuo returned to the Yang Mansion, he remembered that Brother Yun said he wanted to buy facial oil but failed to buy it because of the death of the second wife. He shook his hands, remembering that he must buy a can of Mingzi and secretly give it to Brother Yun on the way back to the government office. , as a thank you gift for helping him a lot by these two accidental mistakes.
On the other side, Jiao Yun was sitting on the bullock cart with a guilty conscience, deliberately loudly talking about the Yang Mansion, it was scary.
Sure enough, Wanniang originally wanted to say a few words about not being allowed to run around for so long next time, but when she heard this, she was afraid that he would be frightened, so she said a few words of relief, but she went all the way back to Songjun Village.
When the ox cart stopped at the door and put down the jars, Jiao Yun's mother and son carried the jars back. It was still dark, and when the door was closed, Jiao Yun urged Wanniang to count the copper coins for Liangpi.
The two mothers lit the oil lamp, sat on the small stool, and put the earthen pot that had previously contained the copper plates on the table.
Wanniang lifted the crock and began to pour it out. When everything was poured out, Wanniang was startled when she saw the hill of copper plates in front of her.The bottom of the earthen jar is deep, and I didn't expect so much to be poured out.
She quickly counted, but when she finished, Wanniang was completely dumbfounded, she couldn't believe it, she didn't recover for a long time, and muttered to herself: "Yun, brother Yun, pinch your mother, she probably... Are you dreaming?"
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me." Jiao Yun snickered in his heart. He had been observing Wanniang before. With a pair of eyes, he said curiously: "Mom, how much did we earn?"
Wanniang took a deep breath and swallowed her saliva: "One thousand one hundred and forty-eight characters."
When I said it, I felt that this was really too much, which completely exceeded her expectations by a lot. She originally thought that it would be fine if she didn't pay, but who knew...
Although she still has dozens of taels of silver in her hand, she didn't earn it by herself.
Now this is the copper plate she received after selling bowls of rice noodles. It is real and has a completely different meaning.
After hearing this, Jiao Yun began to calculate in his heart, which was similar to what he had done before, "So much! How much is left after removing the rice money, oil money, bean sprouts, vegetable and peanuts, mother?"
They made a total of one hundred and one servings, and ate a few later.About one hundred copies were sold, except for a few that did not add spicy peppers, they were charged ten cents, and everything else was twelve cents.
There are still a few because it is the last free order of Xiaotanzi Lazi, so the calculation is about the same.
After getting rid of a bowl of Liuwen money, I made nearly [-] Wen.
Wanniang was not proficient and slowly calculated the net profit, she was stupid again, and she turned red after a long while: "Brother Yun, why did you figure out that we earned nearly six hundred coins this day? Isn't that six coins? ?”
that month...
Jiao Yun: "Wow, wouldn't that be able to buy a lot of sugar?"
Wanniang's eyes were even redder: "Yes, I can buy a lot of candy for Brother Yun. If the stall closes early tomorrow, Mom will buy candy for Brother Yun! You can eat any kind!"
Jiao Yun shook his head: "Mother, it's better to say goodbye, don't reveal the wealth, if... the Qian family finds out, I'm afraid they will think about it again, in case we are secretly harmed..."
"Brother Yun is right, then I will send you to school later! You secretly buy and eat!" Wanniang was so excited that she counted again, and then hid under Jiao Yun's urging.
Later, Jiao Yun was sleepy, and Wanniang was still awake when he lay down, he reckoned that Wanniang would be agitated for two more days, and after that, she would calm down after so much every day.
But what Jiao Yun didn't expect was that when he woke up the next day, he found that Wanniang had already made [-] servings of rice noodles.
Jiao Yun: ... His mother, don't be so excited that she didn't sleep all night, right?
Wanniang turned her head when she heard the movement, her eyes were astonishingly bright, she was already very beautiful, but now she was very energetic, she had been in the kitchen for so long, her face was flushed, she was very beautiful, facing Jiao Yun When he smiled, his eyebrows were gentle: "Brother Yun is awake? Mother has steamed egg custard, fried meat slices, steamed buns, and porridge for you. You go to wash up first, and mother will serve it for you."
Jiao Yun trotted to look at the finished rice noodles, and measured the thickness. Sure enough, there were almost two hundred copies. He hurriedly said: "Mother, just make two hundred copies. If there are too many at once, I may not be able to sell them all." What's more, Rare things are more expensive, if there are too many, it is not rare, and the reputation has not yet spread, so it may not be sold too much the next day.
Even if the market can really sell so much, Jiao Yun plans to limit it to [-] copies per day in the future, otherwise, Wanniang may be exhausted if she continues like this.
Besides, after some time, I am afraid that someone will see a business opportunity to sell rice noodle skins. Although it is not afraid to have oily and spicy rice, it will affect some in the end.
When the time comes, he will immediately sell something else.
As long as he has hot peppers in hand and some capital, he can do more lucrative business. Besides, it is not easy for people who see them to sell food to calculate how much they can earn.
Although there is Tao Wuzuo as this "relative", the truth has been revealed after a long time. They only have mother and child, so they are easy to miss.
Wanniang was frightened, she was too excited to sleep last night, so she just came to make rice noodles, and earning more money can send Brother Yun to school as soon as possible: "Then, that mother has almost two hundred dollars. It's over, so...don't do it?"
Jiao Yun calmed down again like a little adult, and took Wanniang to wash up and have breakfast. It was still early after eating, so she asked her to catch up on sleep first.
Wanniang was probably finally tired and slept for an hour.
Jiao Yun was about to call Wanniang to get up when the time was right, but he heard the knock on the door first, he was stunned for a moment, who could it be so early in the morning?
Wanniang was a light sleeper with something on her mind, but woke up with a start, put on her coat and went out, "Brother Yun, who is it?"
Jiao Yun shook his head: "I'll go and have a look."
"Don't, mother is with you." At this early in the morning, Wanniang was afraid that it might be the Qian family who came looking for trouble. In case Jiao Yun suffered a loss by opening the door, she quickly fastened the button, brushed her hair, and went to open the door. He opened the door, only to find that the person standing outside was actually Chou Gu.
"Ugly girl, you are..." Not only Wanniang, but also Jiao Yun poking her head out from behind her, was also stunned, Brother Bo'er's mother?How could she come to his house?
Jiao Yun looked up and looked carefully, and found that the ugly girl's head was wrapped with a cloth, and only one eye was exposed, and the burnt one was tightly covered by her hair, and the only eye that was exposed was very clear and beautiful, but The moment is full of anxiety and uneasiness.
She opened her mouth, finally looked at Wanniang mother and son, gritted her teeth, and moved away, revealing Bo Geer who was standing behind him with a small bundle in his hand and his head drooping.
"You're lying! You don't look like that, Second Young Master, you'd better tell the whole story, otherwise delaying the investigation will only have a bad impact on the Yang family." While Tao Yuzuo was speaking, Yang Da and the others also looked at Yang Er .
Yang Da frowned, "Second brother, Mr. Tao's words are serious? The mother of the ruined garden has long banned others from entering, and now not only are there more of these things, even the second brother and sister died there. If you know something, Say it sooner rather than later."
Yang Er frowned, and finally turned his head: "Brother, don't force me, I really don't know, I have been there, but it was a month or two ago, and I have never stepped in there since then. Even if you continue to check, my lord , and it has nothing to do with me."
Jiao Yun asked from Tao Wuzuo, and kept observing these people. When Yang Er said this, that Qiaozhu kept her head down, knelt there trembling.He couldn't see Qiaozhu's expression, but her reaction...was a bit strange.
Jiao Yun suddenly thought of a detail, the second lady dyed her nails was replaced by Qiaozhu, Qiaozhu seemed to be her personal maid, after she brought back the snacks, she found that the second lady was not there, so instead of looking for it, she went to rest at ease?
Or, was she so relieved because she knew where the second lady had gone?
The wing room at the end of the corridor in the abandoned garden is very clean, the old lady expressly forbids her to step in, if the servants don't have the guts, only the master is left.
For these masters, chances are not great for the first room; the third room is to be determined; the fourth room has only one uncle, who often stays with the old lady, and it is even more impossible to disobey the old lady's wishes, the most likely is the second room.
Yang Er made it clear that he only came here once a month or two ago, but judging by the cleanliness of the wing room, it was obvious that they had been cleaned these days.
Assuming that the second lady is the one who cleans up these things, she, a pampered daughter, will clean up these things?
Then there's just...someone to do it all for her.
This is just a possibility; there is another possibility, that someone else will do it for you, not someone close to you, but someone who is close to the second wife. This can also explain why Yang Er mentioned the tidy room in the abandoned garden. will be so.
The second lady would not come here rashly, so the second possibility is even higher, that is to say... the second lady met someone here in private, and Yang Er knew about it, but he endured it, Even if it is suspected, it will not be mentioned.
Unless, it's about his face.
The word almost flashed in Jiao Yun's mind: cheating.
If this is the case, everything can be explained. Yang Er knew about the matter between the second wife and this person. For the business of the Yang family and the Gong family, he chose to keep it a secret. He didn't want to lose face, so he avoided talking about it.This can also explain why he asked Qiaozhu to hide the matter of the second lady's fingernails in the first place, and wanted to close the case as soon as possible.
Either, because the incident in the outer room exposed him, he simply quarreled and became murderous after a showdown; or, he was afraid that the further the investigation, it would involve the fact that he was greened by his wife.
Jiao Yun had seen that wing room before, it was very clean, but it didn't smell like he had lived in it before. After all, everything was too tidy, so this person could not be from the outside, he could only be from the Yang family.
Jiao Yun frowned, just now when Master Hou summoned all the servants in the mansion to interrogate them one by one, he also saw that there was no one who was enough for the second lady to take risks in the mansion.
The second wife is not short of money, so it is natural to look at her face.
Face...wait, he suddenly thought of Yang San who was yawning frequently, he looked over in disbelief, Yang San just yawned again, and at the same time took a sneak peek at Yang Er.
Jiao Yun's heart beat violently a few times: No... yes?
If it is true, Yang Er's previous reaction is not difficult to imagine, such a thing as being cheated on by the third brother...
Jiao Yun went to look at Yang San again, his peach blossom eyes were watery because of yawning, coupled with a Chinese attire, the corners of his suave and suave eyes were seductively decadent, which was the most attractive.
Jiao Yun frowned tightly. If it was really Yang San, then he couldn't be the one who tidied up the wing room, and then the first possibility was even higher.
In other words, the person who tidies up the wing room is someone who is close to the second lady.
Jiao Yun looked at Qiaozhu, and when Tao Wuzuo mentioned Feiyuan and asked Yang Er, her reaction...was very subtle.
This can also explain why she also obeyed Yang Er's order to conceal the matter of her fingernails at that time. One may be afraid of pulling out this matter;
If the second lady and Yang San really had something, the four suspects would become three.
Yang Er, Yang San, and the third wife Gong Qianer.
Yang Er had a good reason for killing the second wife, and he was so angry that he was afraid that he would be exposed by the green incident; it was also possible for Yang San to kill the second wife. She threatened her with this matter, or something made Yang San feel out of control and had to kill the second wife; as for Gong Qianer , what if...she already knew about her cousin and the person next to her pillow?
Now the key is Qiaozhu, but how can he remind Tao Wuzuo?
Tao Yuzuo was still staring at Yang Er, wanting to know about the ruined garden from him. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a puzzled voice from the child beside him: "Hey, brother Tao, is that sister sick? Why is she always sweat?"
Tao Yuzuo was originally focused on Yang Er, but when he heard the words, he frowned at Qiaozhu who raised his head and confiscated it in panic when he heard the voice.
Jiao Yun grabbed Tao Yuzuo's sleeve, "Brother Tao, why don't you ask this sister who her wife is going to meet? If she knows who she is meeting, she will die when she sees that person. Isn't that person a bad person?" ?" His voice was low and his expression was dazed and puzzled, but Tao Yuzuo didn't think much about it.
Tao Wuzuo squatted down and said, "Why does Brother Yun think who is her wife going to see?"
Jiao Yun tilted his head: "Isn't it? In our village, we only dress well when we go to meet important people, have banquets, or enter the town."
Tao Wuzuo was taken aback for a moment, and the second lady's gorgeous dress and exquisitely dyed nails flashed in his mind, but do you need to dress like this in the mansion?In the past, she thought it was suicide and dressed up, but later she didn't pay much attention to it, but if it was homicide and not suicide, then there is no reason to be like this, unless...she was going to meet someone, and this person was probably the one who killed her people.
A woman dressed up sneakily made an appointment in an abandoned garden, and insisted on tidying up the side room, but not meeting her husband. What does this mean? Based on Tao Wuzuo's experience, he thought of a possibility, but he was not sure yet.
But even so, Tao Yuzuo was almost not excited to hug Jiao Yun, he straightened up, walked quickly to Mr. Hou's ear and murmured a few times in a low voice.
Master Hou was stunned, and then his eyes lit up instantly: "I understand, your idea is very good, then you can go ahead and do it."
Tao Wuzuo quickly walked up to Qiaozhu, condescendingly looking down at the shivering Qiaozhu: "You, come with us, and have a private question."
Qiao Zhu was taken away anxiously, Yang Er's face was really not good-looking, and Yang San's yawning hand paused, his brows raised, and he let go quickly.
Jiao Yun knew that his reminder made Tao Yuzuo connect the former waste garden together, as long as he can force some questions from Qiaozhu's mouth, the context will soon be clear.
At least, the reason for the death of the deceased was found.
Soon, Tao Wuzuo and a few yamen servants came back with ugly faces, and approached Master Hou and whispered a few times in his ear.
Master Hou suddenly stood up straight: "Really?"
Tao Fu hummed, Master Hou looked at the people present, and finally his eyes fell on Yang Er and Yang San, both of them jumped in the eyebrows.
Yang San touched his nose and turned sideways to avoid Yang Er.
Mr. Hou probably worried about the faces of the two Yang brothers before he was sure, and asked the servants to take the Gong family and his wife away first.
The Gong family and his wife were surprised that they hadn't found out what happened to their sister, so why didn't they let them hear it?
Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Yang looked at each other, and for some reason they had a bad feeling, so they took the initiative to take over the matter, and took Mrs. Gong and Mrs. Gong aside.
Only then did Master Hou look at Yang Er and Yang San: "Are you talking about it yourself or the official? Qiaozhu has already confessed everything about Yang San and the second wife, and she has confessed everything about it, including that she let the second wife go to waste. Garden tidying up and cleaning."
"Impossible, how dare she..." Yang Er yelled hastily, but when he met Master Shanghou's gaze, he clenched his fists and lowered his head, but when Yang San called him anxiously, he punched him.
Yang San was beaten to the point where he was lying there, blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, just as he was about to say something in anger, he suddenly raised his head to meet Yang Er's scarlet eyes, trembling with fright, his momentum immediately withered: "Second, second brother... ..."
"I don't have a brother like you!" Yang Er took a deep breath to save him from killing him, and he wiped his face fiercely, "I wanted to do this when I found out about this more than a month ago, it's just...just... Since you two hit it off so much, why did you let me marry her back then!"
Yang Er was so angry that he was going crazy, the things that he had been suppressing in his heart were suddenly exposed, his face was gone, he felt like he was breaking the pot.
Tao Wuzuo and Lord Hou looked at each other, and it seemed...it was true.
Qiao Zhu came late at this time, she was taken aback when she saw the situation, and then met Yang Er's fierce gaze, and shivered in fright: "Second, Second Lord, slave... didn't say anything, slave didn't say anything! "
Both Yang Er and Yang San were taken aback, they looked at Master Hou and Tao Yuzuo in unison.
The two touched their noses, "Well, I didn't ask, but it's not easy to extract a confession by torture, so I cheated you." But I didn't expect...the guess was true. What does Yang San really have with the second lady.
If this is exposed, I'm afraid it will be soaked in a pig cage, right?No wonder Yang Er kept it a secret.
Yang Er gritted his teeth, probably knowing that there was no turning back, he turned to look at Yang San: "I don't ask for anything now, she is dead, I don't pursue the past, but I want to understand, since she likes you more Why did we ask her to choose in private back then, but she chose me?" If she had chosen him before she was married, he would never have said anything else.
Master Hou and Tao Wu exchanged glances, is there any inside story?
Yang San's lips trembled, and he didn't want to say anything, but everything was like this, so he could only bite the bullet and speak.
After Master Hou and the others finished listening, their expressions almost froze.
The Yang family and the Gong family had business dealings a long time ago, so the Gong family, that is, the deceased, knew the four brothers of the Yang family at a very young age. Because they were about the same age as Yang Er and Yang San, it was easier to get along with each other.
When the two brothers became adults, Yang Er helped Yang Da early on, and soon took charge of a lot of real power in the Yang family business; on the other hand, Yang San, because he was good-looking, usually ate, drank and had fun instead of doing business.
At that time, the two brothers were very happy with her, and agreed in private to let Mrs. Gong choose by herself. Mrs. Gong was young and attractive, and she was more inclined to marry Yang San in her heart, but her idea was rejected by her parents, and Yang San saw it as unreliable. He only has a face that can be seen, and he is afraid that he will accomplish nothing in the future; on the contrary, Yang Er will become a good hand, and he will become more and more capable by following Yang Da in the future.
Mrs. Gong didn't want to, she had already had skin-to-skin relationship with Yang San at that time, but Yang San really couldn't support the wall with mud, and she didn't want to suffer hardships with Yang San after the separation, and she finally gritted her teeth and agreed to marry To Yang Er.
Yang San also gave up and left Changyang County for half a year, but after returning, Mrs. Gong happened to quarrel with Yang Er because of some things at that time, and the two got together again.
Yang Er originally thought they were only a few months old at most, but he didn't expect that he had been raped for several years. He gritted his teeth, "She won't let me take a concubine, but she is kind..." At the end of his anger, he wished to beat him up again. Yang San paused.
Yang San was so frightened that he quickly hid behind Master Hou and the others.
Master Hou and Tao Wu exchanged glances, and they had to do it all over again.
Master Hou: "Does your wife know about the matter between you and... the second lady?" He was asking Yang San.
Yang San sneaked a glance at the main wing which was far away from here, and shook his head: "Of course I don't know, if I knew, I'm afraid there would have been a riot."
Master Hou and Tao Wu exchanged glances, which is probably not the case. If...Gong Qian'er also knew, then the three people would be even more suspicious of Gong's death.
There was no motive for committing the crime before, but now there is.
But Yang Er and Yang San refused to admit it.
After Jiao Yun finished listening, he also looked back at the wing room where the third lady was. The door was closed tightly. Because he was confinement, he felt an ominous premonition, especially the soothing incense.
In order to confirm the last possibility in his mind, Jiao Yun looked at Yang San and pointed at him in surprise: "Wow, you also want to kill your wife and children so you can marry someone else?"
Master Hou and Tao Yuzuo only paid attention to asking, but they forgot about Jiao Yun who was too low to have any sense of presence, and they were shocked when they heard this sentence.
Tao Wuzuo was fine, he knew that Brother Yun's father wanted to kill him, so it was not difficult to think of it, but he just said it casually as a child, but when he looked at Yang San again, he caught a glimpse of his dodging gaze, and his heart skipped a beat one time.
Master Hou originally wanted Tao Yuzuo to let the child leave, but when he saw this, he and Tao Yu exchanged glances, then looked at the main room behind them together, his eyes sank, and he scolded: "Yang San, don't tell me , you really did this kind of thing with the second lady!"
Yang Er also looked at his second brother in disbelief, "You...you conspired with that bitch...that woman, what did you do?!" The woman didn't want to have children, so she didn't want the third brother to have children either. Heir?
The faces of all the people present turned ugly, and just when Yang San wanted to quibble, the closed door suddenly opened not far away, and the third lady was already fully dressed and stood at the door, her eyes were calm and she stared at the front silently, It seems to be looking at the crowd, and it seems that they don't see these people at all.
She caressed the door frame, "...Let me do the talking."
Yang San looked at Gong Qian'er who appeared at the door, his face turned pale, she...wouldn't know, would she?
Mammy was about to help Gong Qian'er, but she waved her hand lightly, "Mammy, stay here, I don't want you to hear those bad things, you stay by my side and do your best, this is the last thing I ask you , okay?"
Mammy's eyes were red, but after all she met Gong Qian'er's pleading gaze, she turned around slowly, raised her sleeves and wiped her eyes without following.
Once Gong Qianer changed her previous inability to walk, she walked slowly in front of Master Hou and the others, without looking at the guilty Yang San, she bowed in the direction of Master Hou and said, "My lord, you can let my aunt and uncle Come here? I just want to say it once, in front of them."
Master Hou thinks about it, sooner or later they will know, so they should, let the yamen servant bring the two of them over.
Just because he probably guessed what Gong Qianer was going to say, he asked the two yamen servants to guard the Gongs and his wife, only letting them approach but was ready to stop them depending on the situation.
Mrs. Gong and Mr. Gong came over and saw Gong Qian'er and were still taken aback. Mrs. Gong was surprised, "Sister Qian, you just had a miscarriage, why are you up?"
Gong Qian'er lowered her eyes and clenched her wringing hands, but suddenly turned around and kowtowed three times to Mrs. Gong and Mr. Gong. Under the eyes of the two people who didn't understand why, she turned around again and knelt facing Mr. Hou.
Only then did he speak slowly: "Let me talk about the matter between Sanlang and my cousin."
"Back then, the cousin chose the second brother between the second brother and San Lang, but less than a year later, they got in touch again. The two knew that this was not safe, and sooner or later they would be discovered, and even more so. What's more, San Lang had also reached the age when he should marry a wife. Take a step back, even if others will not find out, the wife San Lang will marry will definitely find out after getting along day and night. If the relationship between the cousin and the new wife is good, if the relationship is not good Well, her frequent visits to the third room will inevitably arouse suspicion. Therefore, in order to make sure that the new wife will definitely have a good relationship with the cousin, and that there will be no inappropriateness in allowing her to enter the third room in the future, she... told me to Saburo."
Hearing this, Mrs. Gong was taken aback. This is not right. She frowned: "Sister Qian, why are you so ungrateful? What do you mean being in contact with Saburo? What do you mean telling you to Saburo? What do you mean? You said you are a good person and still owe you?"
Master Hou looked directly at the yamen servant, and the yamen servant reprimanded him: "Your Excellency, others are not allowed to make noise when you ask questions, and offenders will be punished twenty sticks!"
Mrs. Gong could only bite the bullet, but she gave Gong Qian'er a dissatisfied look behind her.
Mrs. Gong didn't understand, and she probably didn't dare to think in that direction at all, but Master Gong turned pale.
Gong Qian'er's face was dead silent, and Madam Gong's words were indifferent to her, "Because I owe the Gong family love, so I, an orphan who grew up with their parents and was protected by them, was packaged and sent here like this. Not only that, but I also want to be grateful to Dade. Back then, I really thought so, thinking that I would at most talk to a concubine of a merchant, but I didn't expect to be married into the Yang family. What's more, Yang Sanlang frequently went in and out of the Gong family, Back then... I also admired her in my heart, but I never dared to say it."
"At that time, I thought that I was probably lucky in my life. I met such a good cousin, such a good husband, and the days to come would definitely be wonderful. But I was wrong. After marriage, I I rarely see Saburo, he doesn't take concubines, but he hardly stays in the third room. I asked at first, but then I didn't. Originally, it's nothing, at least... I think this kind of life , can live on."
"But until... I was pregnant with my first child. At that time, I was really happy, but it was only half a month after the discovery, and the child was gone. Saburo brought the doctor to check, saying that I was not in good health and couldn't sit still with the child. "
"I tried my best to nourish myself and took a lot of medicine, but these years, I failed to keep my second and third children. I always felt that I was sorry for Saburo... until half a month ago, I became pregnant again. I I was terrified, afraid that the child would be gone, and my cousin came to see me at that time. I was almost sick at that time, and I was too cautious, so that I felt suspicious of everything, but it was kind to me Cousin, so... I still drank what she brought. Until a few days ago, the child disappeared again. That night, I begged Saburo to stay with me, at least talk to me, that is his child too, yes Our unborn fourth child... But he said he had something to do, and even got impatient, so he left in a hurry. I was probably crazy at the time, and I followed the past without telling anyone, wanting to see it with my own eyes Let's see what is so important to him."
"After that... I knew everything above, everything, but my cousin didn't want to settle down and give birth to a child for my second uncle for the time being, but she was also afraid that once I became pregnant and gave birth to an heir, Sanlang's heart would be broken." Gradually gathered by me and the child, so as long as I am pregnant, she will find a way to get rid of it."
When Gong Qian'er said this, she finally couldn't hold back her tears, silently, but even more desperate, "At that time, I was standing outside the wing of the abandoned garden, listening to their words, listening to me always grateful to Dade for being cautious The cousin I treated, she said that I was just a person who eats and drinks from the Gong family, and owed the servants of the Gong family, so it is understandable to bear these for her. But that is my child, and I look forward to it time and time again. Destroyed, she has ruined my life, but she even deprived me of the right to be a mother. They even bribed the doctor to hide the news that I could no longer conceive. I heard her laughing and telling Saburo at that time , if he wants a child in the future, when she can give him one, I... was moved to kill."
Mrs. Gong was listening to the previous words and finally realized the embarrassing expression. When she heard the last few words, she suddenly jumped up, but Master Gong tightly covered her mouth.
Master Gong's face was black and blue, obviously he didn't expect his daughter to do such a thing.
Gong Qian'er lowered her eyes, as if she didn't hear the movement, "I didn't want to live anymore when I started, I wanted to kill them both. But it was too cheap for them, so after they met again last night, I knew that Saburo would come back to catch up on sleep, so I deliberately used the abdominal pain to make the servants of the third room tired all night, and let them rest when the sky was bright. I put calming incense in the incense burner in the outer room, he fell into a deep sleep, he didn't know what happened, after that, I went outside the abandoned garden when they asked to meet."
"I tied a special knot on the dead tree, which is a signal when they want to meet. Sure enough, she came dressed up, but she was stunned when she saw me. She thought I knew it but still Threatening me not to speak out, I took advantage of her pride and stunned her with the drug I had prepared a long time ago. Your lord should know everything about it. I originally planned that if I didn't find out, I would be She hanged herself, but after that I will make public the matter between her and Saburo before committing suicide so that he will experience the pain I have suffered for the rest of his life; I didn't expect to put the blame on Saburo...My lord, you found out earlier than I expected, so it will be a matter of time before you find out what I have done."
Tao Wuzuo didn't say anything for a long time: "Actually, you didn't say..."
Gong Qian'er shook her head: "I am too weak. It took a lot of effort to make her commit suicide. There are bruises on her shoulders and arms. Once you think about it, it will happen sooner or later. What's more, I am also tired..." Obviously she After more than 20 years, it seems like a lifetime has passed.
At this moment, Mrs. Gong finally struggled away, wanting to rush over: "You killed my daughter! You pay my life back!"
Gong Qian'er didn't look at her, and lowered her eyes, "The three kneelings just now, I repaid your Gong family's kindness in nurturing, she owed me the lives of four unborn children, so she had to die to pay for it. And I killed her , I will pay for my life too. A life for a life, I will give it back to her."
"My sister..." Mrs. Gong cried out.
Master Gong yelled loudly: "Shut up! It's you who spoiled her and made her do such a thing...she..." Master Gong sighed, "It's our Gong family who can't help you..."
Gong Qian'er swayed for a while, finally gave a wry smile, and kowtowed in Master Hou's direction again, but after kowtowing, she didn't raise her head for a long time.
Jiao Yun didn't realize anything at first, but when he realized it had been too long, his face changed slightly, "Brother Tao, she..."
Tao Yuzuo was feeling uncomfortable, and when he looked closely, his expression changed, and he hurried forward to help Gong Qian'er, only to find that she had closed her eyes, with a smile on her lips, and a dagger tightly grasped in her hands, she had long since known when to stab her. Into the waist and abdomen, she has lost her breath.
It was already half an hour later when Tao Yuzuo took Jiao Yun out of the gate of the Yang Mansion in a hurry.
Gong Qian'er died, the body and evidence, as well as the confessions of the Yang family, etc. need to be reorganized, and the matter between Yang San and the second wife was also committed. The second wife is dead, but Yang San still needs to be brought back to the county government.
Mr. Hou thought that Tao Wuzuo had made meritorious service this time, and when he heard him mention Jiao Yun, he allowed him to send Jiao Yun first and then return.
From the third room all the way to the gate of the Yang Mansion, Jiao Yun lowered his head. Gong Qian'er's death made him feel uncomfortable, but people cannot be resurrected after death. Thinking of Wanniang who was still waiting for him, Jiao Yun cheered up.
When the gate opened, Jiao Yun didn't expect to see Wanniang sitting on the bullock cart outside Yang's mansion. The latter was looking this way, and Jiao Yun's eyes lit up, and his anxious face eased, "Yun brothers!"
Jiao Yun called out to his mother, and trotted over, "Mother, why are you here?"
"It's not you, kid. It took half an hour, but how long has it been? Thanks to someone who saw Tao Yuzuo brought you to Yang's mansion to investigate the case. These people won't let mother in. Mother is waiting here " Wanniang still trusts Tao Fuzuo, and the county magistrate Hou is also in the mansion, so she can feel at ease, otherwise, she might not be able to resist breaking in.
Jiao Yun opened his arms, Wanniang had already jumped down and carried him into the bullock cart, and when she turned around, she saw Tao Zuo standing there stiffly and apologetically.
Wanniang turned sideways, not facing Tao Yu, and blessed her body, "Mr. Tao."
Tao Yuzuo felt guilty and uncomfortable: "I'm sorry, the death of the second lady in this mansion is a bit tricky, and I forgot it as soon as I checked it out. I'm afraid Mrs. Jiao is in a hurry." He cupped his hands and bowed to the bottom, making Wanniang panic Get out of the way, "Mr. Tao, you can't do this, it doesn't get in the way, as long as Brother Yun didn't cause trouble."
Tao Wu said: "Where is it, this kid is very smart, thanks to his carefulness, he helped a lot."
Wanniang didn't believe it, she only thought Tao was an excuse for fearing that she would scold the child, but she also thanked Mr. Tao for his carefulness.Because Wanniang is a woman who doesn't like to talk too much with outside men, she quickly got into the bullock cart, said goodbye to Tao Yu, and took Jiao Yun away.
Tao Yuzuo watched the bullock cart gradually go away, watched Jiao Yun keep waving at him, couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, blinked, and waved goodbye.
When Tao Wuzuo returned to the Yang Mansion, he remembered that Brother Yun said he wanted to buy facial oil but failed to buy it because of the death of the second wife. He shook his hands, remembering that he must buy a can of Mingzi and secretly give it to Brother Yun on the way back to the government office. , as a thank you gift for helping him a lot by these two accidental mistakes.
On the other side, Jiao Yun was sitting on the bullock cart with a guilty conscience, deliberately loudly talking about the Yang Mansion, it was scary.
Sure enough, Wanniang originally wanted to say a few words about not being allowed to run around for so long next time, but when she heard this, she was afraid that he would be frightened, so she said a few words of relief, but she went all the way back to Songjun Village.
When the ox cart stopped at the door and put down the jars, Jiao Yun's mother and son carried the jars back. It was still dark, and when the door was closed, Jiao Yun urged Wanniang to count the copper coins for Liangpi.
The two mothers lit the oil lamp, sat on the small stool, and put the earthen pot that had previously contained the copper plates on the table.
Wanniang lifted the crock and began to pour it out. When everything was poured out, Wanniang was startled when she saw the hill of copper plates in front of her.The bottom of the earthen jar is deep, and I didn't expect so much to be poured out.
She quickly counted, but when she finished, Wanniang was completely dumbfounded, she couldn't believe it, she didn't recover for a long time, and muttered to herself: "Yun, brother Yun, pinch your mother, she probably... Are you dreaming?"
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me." Jiao Yun snickered in his heart. He had been observing Wanniang before. With a pair of eyes, he said curiously: "Mom, how much did we earn?"
Wanniang took a deep breath and swallowed her saliva: "One thousand one hundred and forty-eight characters."
When I said it, I felt that this was really too much, which completely exceeded her expectations by a lot. She originally thought that it would be fine if she didn't pay, but who knew...
Although she still has dozens of taels of silver in her hand, she didn't earn it by herself.
Now this is the copper plate she received after selling bowls of rice noodles. It is real and has a completely different meaning.
After hearing this, Jiao Yun began to calculate in his heart, which was similar to what he had done before, "So much! How much is left after removing the rice money, oil money, bean sprouts, vegetable and peanuts, mother?"
They made a total of one hundred and one servings, and ate a few later.About one hundred copies were sold, except for a few that did not add spicy peppers, they were charged ten cents, and everything else was twelve cents.
There are still a few because it is the last free order of Xiaotanzi Lazi, so the calculation is about the same.
After getting rid of a bowl of Liuwen money, I made nearly [-] Wen.
Wanniang was not proficient and slowly calculated the net profit, she was stupid again, and she turned red after a long while: "Brother Yun, why did you figure out that we earned nearly six hundred coins this day? Isn't that six coins? ?”
that month...
Jiao Yun: "Wow, wouldn't that be able to buy a lot of sugar?"
Wanniang's eyes were even redder: "Yes, I can buy a lot of candy for Brother Yun. If the stall closes early tomorrow, Mom will buy candy for Brother Yun! You can eat any kind!"
Jiao Yun shook his head: "Mother, it's better to say goodbye, don't reveal the wealth, if... the Qian family finds out, I'm afraid they will think about it again, in case we are secretly harmed..."
"Brother Yun is right, then I will send you to school later! You secretly buy and eat!" Wanniang was so excited that she counted again, and then hid under Jiao Yun's urging.
Later, Jiao Yun was sleepy, and Wanniang was still awake when he lay down, he reckoned that Wanniang would be agitated for two more days, and after that, she would calm down after so much every day.
But what Jiao Yun didn't expect was that when he woke up the next day, he found that Wanniang had already made [-] servings of rice noodles.
Jiao Yun: ... His mother, don't be so excited that she didn't sleep all night, right?
Wanniang turned her head when she heard the movement, her eyes were astonishingly bright, she was already very beautiful, but now she was very energetic, she had been in the kitchen for so long, her face was flushed, she was very beautiful, facing Jiao Yun When he smiled, his eyebrows were gentle: "Brother Yun is awake? Mother has steamed egg custard, fried meat slices, steamed buns, and porridge for you. You go to wash up first, and mother will serve it for you."
Jiao Yun trotted to look at the finished rice noodles, and measured the thickness. Sure enough, there were almost two hundred copies. He hurriedly said: "Mother, just make two hundred copies. If there are too many at once, I may not be able to sell them all." What's more, Rare things are more expensive, if there are too many, it is not rare, and the reputation has not yet spread, so it may not be sold too much the next day.
Even if the market can really sell so much, Jiao Yun plans to limit it to [-] copies per day in the future, otherwise, Wanniang may be exhausted if she continues like this.
Besides, after some time, I am afraid that someone will see a business opportunity to sell rice noodle skins. Although it is not afraid to have oily and spicy rice, it will affect some in the end.
When the time comes, he will immediately sell something else.
As long as he has hot peppers in hand and some capital, he can do more lucrative business. Besides, it is not easy for people who see them to sell food to calculate how much they can earn.
Although there is Tao Wuzuo as this "relative", the truth has been revealed after a long time. They only have mother and child, so they are easy to miss.
Wanniang was frightened, she was too excited to sleep last night, so she just came to make rice noodles, and earning more money can send Brother Yun to school as soon as possible: "Then, that mother has almost two hundred dollars. It's over, so...don't do it?"
Jiao Yun calmed down again like a little adult, and took Wanniang to wash up and have breakfast. It was still early after eating, so she asked her to catch up on sleep first.
Wanniang was probably finally tired and slept for an hour.
Jiao Yun was about to call Wanniang to get up when the time was right, but he heard the knock on the door first, he was stunned for a moment, who could it be so early in the morning?
Wanniang was a light sleeper with something on her mind, but woke up with a start, put on her coat and went out, "Brother Yun, who is it?"
Jiao Yun shook his head: "I'll go and have a look."
"Don't, mother is with you." At this early in the morning, Wanniang was afraid that it might be the Qian family who came looking for trouble. In case Jiao Yun suffered a loss by opening the door, she quickly fastened the button, brushed her hair, and went to open the door. He opened the door, only to find that the person standing outside was actually Chou Gu.
"Ugly girl, you are..." Not only Wanniang, but also Jiao Yun poking her head out from behind her, was also stunned, Brother Bo'er's mother?How could she come to his house?
Jiao Yun looked up and looked carefully, and found that the ugly girl's head was wrapped with a cloth, and only one eye was exposed, and the burnt one was tightly covered by her hair, and the only eye that was exposed was very clear and beautiful, but The moment is full of anxiety and uneasiness.
She opened her mouth, finally looked at Wanniang mother and son, gritted her teeth, and moved away, revealing Bo Geer who was standing behind him with a small bundle in his hand and his head drooping.
