It is said that when Jia Lian went to Mrs. Wang's side, she told them one by one.The next day, I went to the Ministry to make arrangements, and when I came back, I went to Mrs. Wang's side to inform about the affairs of the Ministry of Officials.Mrs. Wang then said, "Are you sure about it?"Sure enough, the master is willing, and the whole family can rest assured.So how did anyone do it?If he didn't come back like that, I'm afraid that those bastards would kill the master's life.Jia Lian said, "How does my wife know?"Mrs. Wang said: "Since your second uncle let go of his foreign job, he didn't get any money back, so he emptied a lot of things at home."You see, those who went with the master, those little old women dressed up in gold and silver faces after his men were outside for a long time, weren't they just stealing money from the master?Your uncle let them make trouble.If something happens, not only will his own official position fail, but even the official position of his ancestors will be wiped out.Jia Lian said, "Auntie is very right."I just heard about Shen, and I was terrified. I didn't feel relieved until I found out.I also hope that the master can be a Beijing official and work comfortably for a few years before he can keep his reputation for a lifetime.Even if the old lady knows about it, she can rest assured, as long as the wife speaks more leniently.Mrs. Wang said: I know.You go to inquire after all.

Jia Lian agreed, and then she was about to come out, only to see the old lady of Aunt Xue's family coming in a hurry, and went to Mrs. Wang's room, without saying hello, and said, "Our wife asked me to come and tell the aunt here that we are home." Terrible, something happened again!After hearing this, Mrs. Wang asked, "What happened?"The mother-in-law said again: Amazing, amazing!Mrs. Wang snorted: "Stupid thing!"What are you going to say about something important?The mother-in-law said: Our second master is not at home, and there is no man. What should we do if this matter comes out?Ask the wife to send a few men to cook.Mrs. Wang didn't understand, so she said anxiously: "What do you want me to do?"The mother-in-law said: Our eldest grandma is dead.After hearing this, Mrs. Wang spat: "This kind of girl is dead, and it's worth making a fuss about!"The mother-in-law said: "I didn't die well, but I died in a mess."Please ask your wife to send someone to do it.I'm leaving now.Mrs. Wang was angry and funny again, and said: This woman is such a jerk!Brother Lian, why don't you go over and have a look, and ignore that stupid thing.The old woman didn't hear that she was sent, but only heard that she should ignore her, so she ran back in a fit of anger.

Here, Aunt Xue was in a hurry, and couldn't wait any longer. She finally saw the old woman coming, so she asked, "Who did my aunt send?"The mother-in-law sighed and said: "The last thing you want to do is to be in a hurry."What a good relative and family, it seems that it is useless.The concubine not only refused to take care of us, but called me stupid.After hearing this, Aunt Xue said angrily and anxiously: "My aunt doesn't care, what did your aunt say?"The mother-in-law said: "The aunt doesn't care, and our aunt naturally doesn't care."Didn't tell.Aunt Xue spat: My aunt is an outsider, and the girl is raised by me, why don't you care!The mother-in-law realized for a moment: "Yes, I will go if this is the case."

Just as I was talking, I saw Jia Lian coming, greeted Aunt Xue, expressed her annoyance, and said: "My aunt knows that her sister-in-law is dead. Ask the old woman. If she doesn't know, she is very anxious. Send me to ask, and call me." Cook here.What to do, my aunt just said and did it.Aunt Xue was so angry that she cried dryly, but when she heard Jia Lian's words, she smiled and said, "It's up to the second master to worry about it."I said my concubine treated me the best, but this old man couldn't explain it clearly, and almost missed the point.Please sit down and wait for me to tell you slowly.Then he said: not for other things, but because the daughter-in-law is not easy to die.Jia Lian said: "I think he committed a crime for his brother and died of resentment?"Aunt Xue said: "It would be better if this is the case."In the past few months, she was rambunctious every day with disheveled hair and bare feet. Later, when she heard your brother ask about the death penalty, although she cried a lot, she started to put on makeup and make up.If I talk about her, there will be another quarrel, and I always ignore her.One day, I didn't know how to ask Xiangling to be a companion, I said: You leave Baochan behind, what do you need Xiangling for?Besides, Xiangling is something you don't love, so why bother getting angry?She will not obey.I couldn't help it, so I asked Xiangling to go to her room.Poor Xiangling didn't dare to disobey my words, so she left sick.Who knew she treated Xiangling very well, I like it.Your eldest sister found out, and said: I'm afraid it's not out of good intentions.I don't care either.A few days ago, Xiangling was ill, so she made soup for her by herself, but she didn't know that Xiangling was unlucky, as soon as it was brought to her, she scalded her hands and even smashed the bowl.I only said that I needed to take my anger out on Xiangling, but she wasn't angry. She even swept the floor with a broom and splashed water on the ground. They were still fine.Last night, he asked Baochan to make two bowls of soup, and said he would drink it with Xiangling.After a while, I heard the sound of her two pedals in the room, Baochan shouted anxiously, and then Xiangling also shouted, leaning on the wall to come out to call for someone.I was busy looking, and saw my daughter-in-law was bleeding from her nose and eyes, rolling around on the ground, scratching her heart with her hands, and kicking her feet, which scared me to death.Even if I asked her, she couldn't tell, so she just yelled, and died after making a fuss.I see that scene is poisoned.Baochan cried and came to grab Xiangling, saying that she had killed grandma with the medicine.I don't think Xiangling is that kind of person. Besides, she is sick and still can't get up, how can she cure people?But Baochan firmly insisted.My second master, what should I do?I had no choice but to harden my heart and ask the old women to tie up Xiangling and hand it over to Baochan, then shut the door behind them.I stayed with your second sister all night, and only told you to go when the door of the mansion opened.Second master, you are a sensible person, how can this matter be good?Jia Lian said, "Does the Xia family know?"Aunt Xue said: "You have to understand it before you can repay it."Jia Lian said: "As far as I can see, it takes an officer to get it down."We naturally suspected Baochan, and others asked why Baochan killed her grandma with medicine, but they were wrong.If it is on Xiangling's body, it can still be pretended.

Just as I was talking, I saw women from the Rong Mansion coming in and saying: Our second grandma is here.Although Jia Lian is an elder uncle, he didn't avoid it because he met him when he was a child.Baochai came in to see his mother and Jia Lian, and sat down with Baoqin in the back room.Aunt Xue also told the past.Baochai then said: "If Xiangling is tied up, don't we also say that Xiangling died of medicine?"Mom said the soup was made by Baochan, so she should tie up Baochan and ask her!On the one hand, it is time to send someone to report to Xia's house, and on the other hand, it is to report to the official.Aunt Xue heard that it was reasonable, so she asked Jia Lian.Jia Lian said, "Second Sister is right."The reporter also asked me to entrust the people in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs to take care of me when I asked the confession.It's just that it's more difficult to tie Baochan and release Xiangling.Aunt Xue said: "It's not that I want to tie up Xiangling. I'm afraid that Xiangling will be wronged when she is ill. I want to die for a while and add another life, so I tied it up and handed it to Baochan. It's also an idea."Jia Lian said, "Even so, we have helped Baochan."If you want to release them all, if you want to tie them all up, the three of them belong together.Just ask someone to comfort Xiangling.Aunt Xue asked someone to open the door and go in, and Baochai sent some women to help tie Baochan.I saw that Xiangling was crying to death.On the contrary, Baochan was triumphant, and when she saw that someone was going to tie her up, she yelled wildly.The man who was banned from Rong Mansion yelled and tied him up.The door was left open so that people could watch.The person who reported to Xia's family has already gone.

The Xia family didn't live in Beijing before, but because of their disappearance in recent years, and they missed their daughter, they recently moved to Beijing.The father is gone, only the mother, and adopted another son who is a bastard, spent all the family property, and often visits Xue's house from time to time.That Jingui was originally a water-based person, so he could keep a vacant room there, and he missed Xue Biao every day, so he was a little hungry.Helplessly, her brother is an idiot, although he has some senses, but he has not yet entered Hong Kong.So Jingui often went back and gave him some money.At this time, I was looking forward to Jingui's return home, but when I saw people from Xue's family coming, I wondered what to bring again.Unexpectedly, it was said that the girl here had died of poison, and he was so angry that he screamed and screamed.Jingui's mother heard it, and cried even more, saying, "The good-looking girl is at his house, why did she take poison?"Crying and shouting, he brought his son, and he couldn't wait to hire a car, so he wanted to come.The Xia family used to be a businessman, but now that they have no money, they don't care about face.The son left immediately, and she went out with a poor old woman, hired a broken car crying on the street, and ran to Xue's house.

He didn't even say a word when he entered the door, and he wanted to kill people with a bang and a bang.At that time, Jia Lian went to the Ministry of punishment to trust someone. There were only Aunt Xue, Baochai and Baoqin at home. He had never seen a battle, but he was too scared to speak.So they wanted to reason with her, but they didn't listen, they just said: "My girl is in your house, what good will I get?"The two beat each other and scolded each other for a long time, but they were not allowed to be together.You discussed putting your son-in-law in prison and never seeing each other again.You girls are just relying on your good relatives to be useful, but you still think she is an eyesore, so you asked someone to kill her with medicine, but you said that you took poison, why did she take poison?With that said, he went straight to Aunt Xue.Aunt Xue had no choice but to back off and said, "My wife, please take a look at your daughter and ask Baochan before it's too late to speak nonsense."It is difficult for Baochai and Baoqin to come out to guard because there are Xia's sons outside, so they are only anxious inside.

It happened that Mrs. Wang sent Zhou Rui's family to take care of her. As soon as she entered the door, she saw an old woman pointing at Aunt Xue's face and crying and cursing.Knowing that it must be Jingui's mother, Zhou Rui's family came up and said, "Is this your wife?"The eldest grandma died by taking poison herself, so what does it have to do with our concubine?Don't commit such a disaster!Jingui's mother asked: Who are you?Seeing that there was someone, Aunt Xue became more courageous and said, "This is from my relative Jia's mansion."Jingui's mother then said: "Who doesn't know that you have relatives who can rely on your waist, so that you can let my uncle sit in prison."Now my girl is dead for nothing?As he spoke, he pulled Aunt Xue and said: How did you kill my daughter?show me!One side of Zhou Rui's family persuaded: just look at it, there is no need to talk about it.Then he pushed his hand.The Xia family's son ran in and said, "Are you relying on the momentum in the house to beat my mother?"As he spoke, he knocked the chair away, but didn't hit it.The people inside and Baochai heard the commotion outside and rushed to see that Zhou Rui's family might suffer, so they all went up together, half persuading and half drinking.The mother and son of the Xia family simply threw up and said: I know the momentum of your Rongfu.The girl in our family is dead, and now she is dying!As he said, he still ran to Aunt Xue desperately.Although there are many people underground, there is no way to stop them. Since ancient times, it has been said that if one person works hard, ten thousand people cannot do it.

When the trouble was in danger, Jia Lian brought in seven or eight family members. Seeing this, he asked someone to pull the son of Xia's family out first, and said, "Don't make trouble, and talk well if you have something to say."Quickly tidy up the house, and the gentlemen in the Ministry of Punishment will come to testify.Jingui's mother was throwing a tantrum, and saw a master coming, and a few shouted in front of her, and they all stood with their hands down.When Jingui's mother saw this scene, she didn't know who it was from Jia's house. Seeing that her son had been arrested by everyone, and hearing that the Ministry of Criminal Justice had come to examine her, she wanted to see her daughter's body. Go, if you don't want to report to the official first, you will be softer.Aunt Xue was terrified.It was Zhou Rui's family who said: "They came, and they didn't go to see her girl, so they came here like a concubine."In order to persuade her, we ran into a wild man and mixed up with the grandmothers. This is not without the king's law!Jia Lian said: "You don't need to reason with him this time. You will ask him later, saying: "Men have men's places, and there are girls and grandmas inside. Besides, there are his mothers. Can't you see their girls? He ran away." Isn't it coming in to fight and snatch?The family members did good and bad things, and suppressed them.Taking advantage of the large number of people, Zhou Rui's family said, "Mrs. Xia, you are not sensible. Now that you are here, you should ask questions indiscriminately."Your girl died by poisoning herself, otherwise, it would be Baochan who killed her master with medicine, why didn't you ask to understand, and didn't look at the corpse, so you wanted to blackmail her?Are we willing to let a daughter-in-law die in vain?Now tie up Baochan, because your girl is going to be sick, so I asked Xiangling to accompany her and live in the same room, so both of them are guarding there, waiting for you to come to see the punishment department. Just ask the truth.

Jingui's mother was lonely at this time, so she had to follow Zhou Rui's family to her girl's room. She saw her face covered with black blood, lying straight on the kang, and cried.When Baochan saw that it was her family who came, he cried and said: "Our girl treats Xiangling kindly and asks her to live with her. She took the time to poison our girl to death!"At that time, all members of the Xue family were there, and they yelled in unison: "Nonsense!"Grandma died yesterday after drinking soup. You didn't make this soup!Baochan said: "I made the soup. I brought it here. I have something to go. I don't know what Xiangling put in it when he got up to kill him."Jingui's mother rushed to Xiangling before she finished speaking.Everyone stopped.Aunt Xue said: "This is arsenic, and there is absolutely no such thing in the house."Regardless of Xiangling and Baochan, they will eventually buy something for her. When they come back to the Criminal Department, they will have to ask about it, so they can't refuse.Now the power of the daughter-in-law is put in order, so that the officials can come and test it.All the women came up to lift them up.Baochai said: "It's all men who come in. You check the things women use."I saw a crumpled paper bag under the Kang mattress.When Jingui's mother saw it, she picked it up, and when she opened it, there was nothing there, so she opened it.Baochan saw it and said: Don't you have evidence?I recognize this paper bag, the rats made a fuss a few days ago, my grandma went to my uncle's house to ask for it, and I took it back and put it in the jewelry box. Xiangling must have seen it and used it to kill grandma.If you don't believe me, take a look to see if there is any in the jewelry box.

Jingui's mother followed what Baochan said, and took out the box, only a few silver hairpins.Aunt Xue said: Why are so many jewelry gone?Baochai asked someone to open the cabinets, which were all empty, and said, "Sister-in-law, who took these things?"You have to ask Baochan about it.Jingui's mother also felt a little guilty. Seeing Aunt Xue questioning Baochan, she said, "How does she know about the girl's things?"Zhou Rui's family said: "My wife, don't say that."I know Miss Bao follows Grandma every day, how can I not know?Seeing that the question was tight and he didn't want to be careless, Baochan had no choice but to say: "Every time grandma takes it home, can I take care of it?"Everyone said: What a wife!Coaxing and taking the girl's things, when the coaxing is over, tell her to commit suicide and come to blackmail us.That's all!Come back to test each other, that's what I said.Baochai calls people: go outside and tell the second master Lian not to let the Xia family go. Inside, Jingui's mother was busy with her hands and feet, so she scolded Baochan: "Little hoof!Stop chewing your tongue!When will the girl bring things to my house?Baochan said: "Things are small now, but paying for the girl's life is big."Baoqin said: "With things, there are people who pay for their lives."Hurry up and ask Lian's second brother to ask the Xia family's son to buy arsenic, so that he can return to the Ministry of punishment when he comes back.Jingui's mother said anxiously: "This Baochan must have run into a ghost, so let's talk nonsense."Why did our girls buy arsenic?If so, Baochan must have died of medicine.Baochan yelled anxiously, saying: "It's fine for others to rely on me, why do you also rely on me?"Don't you often tell the girl, tell her not to be wronged, causing their family to be ruined, then pack up the things and get a good son-in-law.Does this word exist?Before Jingui's mother could reply, Zhou Rui's family interjected, "That's what your family said, so what else is there to rely on?"Jingui's mother gritted her teeth in hatred and scolded Baochan, saying: I treat you well!Why do you use words to bury me?When I came back and met the officer, I said that you killed the girl with drugs.Baochan stared angrily and said, "Madam, please let Xiangling go, and don't do harm to others in vain."I see the official has my own words. When Baochai heard the talk, she asked someone to let go of Baochan instead, saying, "You are a straightforward person, why bother to be wronged?"If you have something to say, just say it, everyone understands, isn't it the end of the matter?Baochan was also afraid of seeing the official suffer, so he said: "Our grandma complains every day: I am such a person, why did I meet this blind mother? I am not worthy of the second master, but I gave it to such a bastard.If I can spend a day with the second master, I am willing to die.Speaking of which, I hated Xiangling.I ignored it at first, but when I saw that she was getting better with Xiangling, I just thought that Xiangling taught her something, and didn't expect that the soup yesterday was not a good intention.Jingui's mother went on to say: Yifa nonsense!If you want the medicine Xiangling, why did you pour the medicine on yourself?Baochai asked, "Xiangling, did you drink soup yesterday?"Xiangling said: "In the first few days, I was so sick that I couldn't lift my head. Grandma told me to drink soup, but I dared not say no. When I was about to struggle, the bowl of soup had been spilled, so I asked grandma to clean it up. I I feel very sad.Yesterday I was asked to drink soup, but I couldn't drink it, there was nothing I could do, and when I was about to drink it, I became dizzy again.Sister Baochan brought it up, and I just liked it. As soon as I closed my eyes, grandma drank the soup by herself and asked me to taste it, so I reluctantly drank it too.Baochan didn't wait to finish speaking and said: Yes, let me be honest.Yesterday my grandma asked me to make two bowls of soup, saying that I would drink it with Xiangling.I was so angry, I thought to myself, where does Xiangling make soup for her?I intentionally grabbed a handful of extra salt in a bowl, and made a note of it, originally intending to give it to Xiangling.As soon as I brought it in, my grandma stopped me to go outside and asked the boys to hire a car, saying that I would go home today.I went out and talked about it, and saw that the bowl of soup with a lot of salt was in front of grandma. I was afraid that grandma would scold me again after drinking the salty soup.Just when I couldn't help it, grandma walked back, and I couldn't see it, so I changed the bowl of soup from Xiangling.That's how it should be. When grandma came back, she took the soup and went to Xiangling's bedside to drink it, and said: You should try it.That Xiangling didn't feel salty either.Both of them finished their drinks.I was just laughing that Xiangling had no words to say, how could I know that this damn grandma wanted the medicine Xiangling, and she must have sprinkled arsenic on it while I was away, and I didn't know that I would change the bowl.This is the law of heaven, and it is self-inflicted.So everyone thought about it and found that it was not bad at all, so they released Xiangling and supported her to sleep on the bed. Not to mention that Xiangling should be let go, but also to say that Jingui's mother has a guilty conscience and wants to defend herself.Aunt Xue waited for your words, but asked her son to pay back Jin Gui's life.Just as they were making a noise, Jia Lian yelled outside, "Stop talking!"Hurry up and pack up, the master of the criminal department will be here.At this time, only Xia's mother and son were busy, and they would suffer a loss if they thought about it, so they had to turn to Aunt Xue and said: "No, no, it's my dead girl who doesn't make progress, and it's her own fault."If the Ministry of Criminal Affairs inspects it, the family will not look good after all, so I beg my wife to let this matter go.Baochai said: "That can't be done. It's been reported. How can I rest?"Zhou Rui's family and others tried to persuade everyone: If you want to stop the matter, unless the wife of Xia's family goes out to intervene by herself, we will not discuss the merits.Jia Lian also frightened her son when he was outside, and he was willing to welcome him to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation.Everyone agrees.Aunt Xue ordered someone to buy a coffin for the funeral.do not mention. Let's say that Jia Yucun was promoted to the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, who is also in charge of taxation.One day, I went out of the capital to survey the reclaimed land, passed through Zhiji County, and arrived at Jiliujin. I was about to cross the other side. Because I was waiting for a husband, I temporarily stopped my sedan chair.I saw a small temple next to the village, the wall collapsed, and a few ancient pines were exposed, which were old.Yucun got off the sedan chair and walked into the temple leisurely, but saw the golden body of the god statue in the temple falling off, the temple was crooked, and there were broken stone tablets beside it, and the writing was blurred and could not be read clearly.Wanting to walk to the back hall, I saw a thatched hut under the shade of a green cypress, in which a Taoist priest closed his eyes and meditated.When Yucun approached and looked at him, his face was very familiar, and he thought he seemed to meet him there, but he couldn't remember it for a while.Congren wanted to yell, but Yucun stopped, walked forward slowly, and called out: "Old Taoist."The Taoist priest opened his eyes slightly, and said with a slight smile: "What's the matter, sir?"Yucun detoured: "Our government is out of the capital to investigate the incident. Passing by here, I saw the old Taoist who was self-satisfied in meditation. I wanted to come here and have a deep understanding of the Tao, so I wanted to take the liberty to ask for advice."The Taoist said: Come from a land, go from a place.Knowing that Yucun has some origins, he bowed his head and asked: Where did the old Taoist come from and build a hut here?What is the name of this temple?How many people are there in the temple?Or if you want to really cultivate, is there no famous mountain?Or if you want to get married, why not make a thoroughfare?The Taoist said: "The gourd can still live in peace, why bother with the famous mountain?"The name of the temple has been hidden for a long time, but the broken stone remains, and the shadows follow each other. Why do we need to raise funds?Is it like the generation who seeks a good price for the jade in the sale, and waits for the time to fly in the dowry? Yucun was originally a wise man. When he first heard the word gourd, and later heard about the pair of jade hairpins, he suddenly remembered Zhen Shiyin.He looked at the Taoist priest again and again, and saw that his appearance was still the same, so he retreated and asked: "Is the Jun family not Mr. Zhen?"The Taoist smiled calmly: What is true and what is false!To know that true is false and false is true.When Yucun heard that the word Jia came from, it became more and more doubtful, so he saluted again and said: "The student has been generously gifted to the capital, and he has been given the Jun bus as a shelter, and he has been appointed to the hometown. Only then did he know that the old man is super enlightened and floats in the fairyland."Although the students think back and forth, thinking of the customs and customs, they can't help but look at the beauty again.How lucky to meet you here today!Ask the old fairy to show the stupid.If the lotus is not abandoned, the capital is very close, and the students should be enshrined and listen to the teachings day and night.The Taoist also stood up and returned the salute, saying: "Besides the futon, I don't know what else is in the world."What the senior officials said just now, the poor are completely puzzled.After finishing speaking, he still sat down.Yu Cun was suspicious again: If it wasn't Shi Yin who wanted to go, how could his appearance be so similar?Nineteen years after parting, her complexion remains the same, it must be because she has achieved success in cultivation, and she is not willing to tell the truth about her past.But since I met my benefactor, I must not miss it face to face.It seems that we can't be moved by wealth, not to mention the selfishness of wives and daughters.After thinking about it, he said again: "Since the immortal master refuses to reveal the previous cause, how can the disciple bear it!"Just about to salute, I saw someone coming in and saying, "It's getting late, please cross the river quickly."Yucun had no idea, and the Taoist said: "Please go to the other side quickly, my honorable officer. We will meet for a while, and the storm will rise later."If you don't give up, Pindao is still waiting to be taught at the ferry in the future.After finishing speaking, he still closed his eyes and meditated.Yucun had no choice but to resign the Taoist priest and leave the temple.Just as he was about to transition, he saw a person galloping towards him.I don't know what happened, I will break it down next time.
