Chapter 112 Chapter One Hundred and Twelve

It is said that Sister Feng ordered all the women in the night to be tied up and sent to the camp for interrogation. The women knelt down and begged.Lin Zhixiao said to Jia Yun, "It's useless to ask for it."The master sent us to look after the house. It is good fortune to have nothing to do. Now that something has happened, everyone is responsible for it. Who can save you?If he is Zhou Rui's godson, even his wife is not clean inside and out.Sister Feng panted and said, "This is all due to fate, what are you talking about with them!"Just take them there.You should tell the battalion about the lost thing: it really belongs to the old lady, you can only find out by asking the gentlemen.When we reported it and invited the gentlemen to come back, we would naturally open a missing order and send it over.We also report in the same way in the civil office.Jia Yun and Lin Zhixiao agreed to go out.

Xichun didn't say a word, just cried: I've never heard of these things, why did it happen to the two of us!Master and wife come back tomorrow, how can I meet people?He said he would hand over the family to us, now that the trouble has come to this, do he still want to live!Sister Feng said, "Are we willing?"Now there are people from the previous night there.Xichun said: "You can still say it, besides you are sick; I didn't say it."This is all caused by my sister-in-law, who persuaded my wife to send me to look after the house.Where is my face now?As he spoke, he burst into tears again.Sister Feng said: Girl, don't think so.If you say you have no face, everyone is the same.If you are so confused, I can't hold back.

The two of them were talking, only to hear someone yelling in the yard outside: "I said that the three aunts and six wives are nothing to worry about, and we never allow anyone to come to our house in Zhen's house."I don't think this mansion doesn't pay much attention to this.The funeral of the old lady just went out yesterday, and the nun from the nunnery is going to come to us.I yelled that they were not allowed to come in, but the old lady on the waist door scolded me, and told me to let the aunt in.The waist door opened for a while, closed for a while, and I didn't know what to do.I was worried and didn't dare to sleep. When I heard the fourth watch, I shouted here.I came to ask that the door could not be opened, but when I heard the sound get tighter, I opened the door and saw someone standing in the west yard, so I chased him away and beat him to death.I just found out today that this is the fourth aunt's house.That aunt is inside, and she slipped out before dawn today.Isn't it the thief brought in by the aunt?Ping'er and others listened and said, "Who is this so unruly?"The girl and grandma are all here, dare to mess around outside!Sister Feng said: "You heard that he is in the Zhen's mansion, don't be that disgusting thing recommended by the Zhen's family."Xichun understood what she heard, and felt even more upset.Sister Feng then asked Xichun, "What kind of aunt is that man talking about? You got an aunt to live there?"Xichun then told Miaoyu to come to see her, and said that she would play chess and watch the night.Sister Feng said: "Is it her? How can she do this?"It is no more words.But it's not good for the master to know about this disgusting thing.The more Xichun thought about it, the more frightened she became, she stood up and wanted to leave.Although Sister Feng said she couldn't sit still, she was afraid that Xichun would be frightened, and something would happen, so she had to tell her not to leave first: she had to watch people put away the leftovers from the theft, and then send someone to watch, so she could leave.Ping'er said: "We dare not accept it. We can only accept it when we come to the yamen and have a look."We just have to watch.But I don't know if anyone has gone to the master's place?Sister Feng said, "You ask the old lady to ask."Once he came in and said: Lin Zhixiao can't go away, the servants of the family have to wait for the inspection, and some of them are unclear, and the second master Yun has already gone.Sister Feng nodded, while Tong Xichun sat worrying.

Let's say that the gang of thieves was originally invited by He Sanwai. They stole a lot of gold and silver treasures and took them out. When they saw people chasing them, they knew that they were all useless people. They wanted to steal into the west house. Two beauties: a girl and an aunt.Those thieves, who cared about their lives, were about to kick in when they suddenly felt bad. When they saw Bao Yong coming to chase them, they got the stolen goods and fled, only He San disappeared.Everyone hid in Wo's house, and inquired about the movement the next day. They knew that He San was beaten to death by them, and they had already reported to the civil and military Yamen.There was no way to hide here, so they decided to join the Ocean Bandit as soon as possible. If it was too late, Guanjin would be unable to pass through the wanted documents and his party.

One of them was very courageous, so he said, "Whether we go or not, the only thing I can't bear is that sister-in-law, who looks really good-looking."I don't know if it's the young child in the nunnery?One person said: Ah!I remembered, it must be the aunt from some kind of Quicui nunnery in the garden of Jia's mansion.It wasn't that the year before last it was said that she had something to do with the second master of their family, but later fell into lovesickness for some reason, and she was the one who asked the doctor to take the medicine.The man heard this and said: Let's hide for a day today, ask our eldest brother to borrow money to buy some business clothes, and leave the customs one after another at dawn tomorrow.You are waiting for me at twenty miles outside the pass.All the thieves agreed to divide the spoils and disperse them without mentioning them.

It is said that Jia Zheng and others sent the funeral to the temple, and after the house was settled, relatives and friends dispersed.Jia Zheng accompanied the spirit in the outer room, and Mrs. Xing and Wang were inside, crying all night.On the second day, sacrifice again.While setting the meal, Jia Yun came in, kowtowed in front of the old lady's coffin, hurriedly ran to Jia Zheng, knelt down to greet her, panting, stole everything stolen from the old lady's room last night, Bao Yong chased away the thieves and killed one, and he had already reported to the civil and military yamen.Jia Zheng was startled when he heard this.Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang also heard it inside, and they were all frightened out of their wits. They didn't say a word, only crying.After a while, Jia Zheng asked how to open the lost order.Jia Yun replied: No one in the family knows, and the bill has not been issued yet.Jia Zheng said: "Fortunately, if we move the house, if we drive a good one, we will bear the crime."Call Lianer quickly!

Jia Lian took Baoyu and others to offer sacrifices elsewhere, but Jia Zheng was rushed back.When Jia Lian heard this, she jumped up in anxiety. When she saw Yun'er, she didn't care about Jia Zheng's presence, so she scolded Jia Yun severely, saying: "Things that are not worthy of praise!"I entrust you with such a heavy responsibility, escorting people to watch at night, are you a dead man!Thank goodness you still have the face to tell.As he spoke, he spat on Jia Yun's face a few times.Jia Yun stood with her hands down, not daring to reply.Jia Zheng said, "It's no use scolding him."Jia Lian then knelt down and said, "What about this?"Jia Zheng said, "There's no other way. We have to report to the officials to arrest the thieves."But there is only one thing, we didn't touch the things left by the old lady.You said you want money, I think the old lady will die for a few days, who can bear her money.It turned out that I had finished looking at the matter, settled the accounts, and returned them to others; there are still others who have set up graves here and in the south, and I haven't seen any more things.Now it is said that civil and military yamen are about to lose their orders. If they open up a few good things, it may hinder them;It's ridiculous that you have changed now, why can't you cook like this?How are you kneeling here!Jia Lian didn't dare to answer, so he had to stand up and leave.Jia Zheng shouted again, "Where are you going?"Jia Lian knelt down again and said, "Hurry back and take care of it, and then go back and forth."Jia Zheng snorted, and Jia Lian lowered his head.Jia Zheng said: "You go in and go back to your mother, and call one or two of the old lady's maids, and ask them to think carefully about opening the list."Jia Lian knew in his heart that the old lady's things were managed by mandarin ducks, and when she died, she asked Pearl, and they remembered clearly.He didn't dare to dismiss it, and agreed again and again.When he got up and went inside, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang complained again, telling Jia Lian to go back quickly, and asked them these housekeepers, "Why do you see us tomorrow?"Jia Lian had no choice but to agree to come out, and at the same time ordered someone to set up a cart to prepare Amber to enter the city; he rode on a mule, followed a few boys, and went back like flying.Jia Yun didn't dare to go back to Jia Zheng, so she slipped out slowly with a slanted sign, got on her horse, and came to drive Jia Lian away.All the way without words.

When he got home, Lin Zhixiao invited Ann and followed him in.When Jia Lian went to the old lady's house and saw Sister Feng and Xichun there, she hated her and couldn't speak out, so she asked Lin Zhixiao, "Have you seen it in the yamen?"Lin Zhixiao knew he was guilty, so he knelt down and replied, "I have seen all the civil and military yamen, I have also seen where he came and went, and the autopsy has also been done on the corpse."Jia Lian was surprised and said, "What kind of corpse is being examined?"Lin Zhixiao then told Jia Lian that the bandit that Bao Yong had killed was like Zhou Rui's godson.Jia Lian said, "It's called Yun'er!"When Jia Yun came in, she also knelt and obeyed.Jia Lian said: "When you saw the master, why didn't you say that Zhou Rui's godson became a thief and was beaten to death by Bao Yong?"Jia Yun said: "The person last night said that it was like him. I'm afraid it's not true, so I didn't reply."Jia Lian said, "What a fool!"If you told me and brought Zhou Rui to admit it, wouldn't you know?Lin Zhixiao replied: "Now the yamen has put the corpse at the entrance of the city to confess."Jia Lian said: "This is another stupid thing!"Whose family became a thief and was beaten to death, should he pay for his life?Lin Zhixiao replied: "It doesn't need to be recognized by others, the servant will recognize him."After hearing this, Jia Lian thought, "Yes, I remember that Uncle Zhen was going to fight that year, wasn't it from Zhou Rui's family?Lin Zhixiao replied: He and Bao Er were fighting, I have seen it before.Jia Lian became even angrier when he heard this, and wanted to beat Ye's man.Lin Zhixiao begged, "Please calm down the second master."Those who went to the night, sent them, dare to be lazy?It's just the rules of the master's house, if a man in the three gates dare not go in, it is the servants who dare not go in if they don't bark inside.The servant checks with brother Yun every moment outside, and sees that the three doors are tightly closed, and the outside door is not opened.The thief came from behind.Jia Lian said, "Where is the woman in the night?"Lin Zhixiao tied up the watchman at night at the order of his grandmother, and waited for his grandfather to interrogate him.Jia Lian asked Bao Yong again?Lin Zhixiao said, "I went to the garden again."Jia Lian then said, "Go and call."The boys brought Bao Yong.Said: Thank you for being here, without you, I am afraid that all the things in the house will be robbed.Bao Yong didn't speak.Xichun was afraid that he would say that, and was anxious.Sister Feng didn't dare to speak.I saw outside saying: Sister Amber is waiting to come back.When we saw each other, we couldn't help but cry again.

Jia Lian asked someone to check what was left of the theft. Only some clothes, rulers, and cash boxes had not been moved, and the rest were gone.Jia Lian was even more anxious, thinking: I haven't paid the money for the shed bars outside and the money for the kitchen, so what will I have to pay back tomorrow?I thought for a while.I saw Hu Po waiting to go in, crying for a while, seeing that the box was open, how could I remember all the things, so I made a random guess, made up a lost order, and ordered someone to send it to the civil and military yamen.Jia Lianfu sent people to the night again.Sister Feng and Xichun went back to their rooms.Jia Lian didn't dare to rest at home, and she didn't have time to blame Sister Feng, so she drove out of the city on horseback.Here, Sister Feng was afraid that Xichun would die, so she sent Feng'er to comfort her.

It's the second watch.Not to mention that the thieves here go to close the door, everyone is more careful, who dares to sleep.Let's say that the bandits are all thinking about Miaoyu, knowing that they are all the women in the lonely nunnery, it is not difficult to bully them.In the middle of the night, he took a short weapon, brought some incense, and jumped onto the high wall.Seeing that the lights in Changcui Nunnery were still bright from a distance, he sneaked down and hid in a secluded place at the head of the house. When it was four o'clock, there was only one sea lantern inside, and Miaoyu was meditating on the futon alone.After resting for a while, he said with a sigh: "I came to Beijing from the tomb of the Yuan Dynasty. I wanted to pass on my name. I invited here for this, and I can't live elsewhere."Yesterday, I kindly went to see the fourth girl, but I was angered by this fool, and I was shocked again at night.When I came back today, the futon couldn't sit still anymore, I just felt my flesh jumping and my heart twitching.Factors often meditate alone, but today they refuse to ask others to accompany them.Unexpectedly, at the fifth watch, I shivered.Just about to call someone, I only heard a sound outside the window, thinking of what happened last night, I was even more frightened, so I couldn't help calling someone.Unexpectedly, those women did not agree.Sitting by myself, I felt a scent penetrate into the fontanelle, my hands and feet became numb, I couldn't move, I couldn't speak, and I felt even more anxious.I saw a person come in with a shining knife.At this time, Miaoyu understood in her heart that she could only move, thinking that she was going to kill herself, so she simply forced her heart, but she was not afraid.But that person stuck the knife behind his back, freed his hand, and gently picked up Miaoyu. After a while, he dragged Miaoyu on his back.At this time, Miaoyu was just intoxicated.Poor, very clean daughter, who was suffocated by the bandit's suffocating fragrance, and let him mess with her.

But he said that the thief carried Miaoyu on his back, came to the back wall of the garden, built a soft ladder, climbed up the wall and jumped out.There was a guy outside who got a car and waited outside the garden. The man put Miaoyu on the car, raised the official lantern instead, called to open the fence, and hurried to the city gate, which was just the time to open the gate.The door officials only knew that they were out of the city on business, so they didn't have time to investigate.After driving out of the city, the gang of thieves beat up the whip and rushed to Ershilipo, met face to face with all the strong men, and went to the South China Sea separately.I don't know if Miaoyu was robbed, or willing to be humiliated, or died unyielding. It is only said that there is a nun with Miaoyu in changcui'an. She lived in the back of the quiet room and slept until five o'clock. When she heard someone's voice in front, she said that Miaoyu was restless in meditation.Later, I heard a man's footsteps, doors and windows rattling, and wanted to get up to have a look, but my body became weak and lazy to speak, and I didn't hear Miaoyu's words, I just opened my eyes and listened.At dawn, I finally felt clear in my heart, put on my clothes, got up, and asked the Taoist woman to prepare Miaoyu's tea, and she went forward to see Miaoyu.Unexpectedly, there is no trace of Miaoyu, and the doors and windows are wide open.I was surprised at the sound last night, very suspicious, and said: Where has she been so early?Walking out of the courtyard gate, there is a soft ladder standing against the wall, and there is a scabbard on the ground, one arm, and said: "It's not good, the thief burned incense last night!"Urgently asked people to get up and check, but the door of the nunnery was still closed.Those women and maids all said: The gas was smoky last night, and I couldn’t get up this morning. What are we doing so early?The nun said, "I don't know where Master has gone."Everyone said: "It's meditating in Guanyin Hall."The nun said: You are still dreaming!Come and see.Everyone didn't know, and they were all busy, opened the door of the nunnery, found them all over the garden, and wanted to come or go to the fourth girl. Everyone came to knock on the waist door, and was scolded by Bao Yong again.Everyone said: Our master Miao didn't know where he was last night, so we came to look for him.I beg you, old man, to call open the waist door, and just ask if you have come or not.Bao Yong said: "Your master lured a thief to steal us, and he has already stolen it. She followed the thief to benefit from it."Everyone said: Amitabha, those who say these words are on guard against tongue-cutting hell!Bao Yong said angrily: Nonsense!If you continue to make trouble, I will fight you.Everyone laughed and begged: "Please open the door, let's take a look; if not, don't dare to disturb your grandfather again."Bao Yong said: "If you don't believe it, go find it; if not, come back and ask you."As Bao Yong said, he called to open the waist door, and everyone found Xichun. Xichun was just depressed, thinking: After Miaoyu left early in the morning, did she hear what our surname Bao said? I'm afraid I'll offend her again, so I won't come here in the future.My confidant is gone.What's more, it's hard for me to see people now, my parents died early, and my sister-in-law hates me.There is an old lady in my head, who still loves me, and now she is dead, leaving me alone, what will happen?I thought: Sister Yingchun was tortured to death, Sister Shi was guarding the patient, and Sister Three went away. This is all due to fate, and I cannot be free.The unique Miaoyu is like idle clouds and wild cranes, unfettered.If I can learn from her, it will be a blessing.But I am the daughter of an aristocratic family, how can I do what I want!Looking after the house this time, it's already a big burden, isn't it, what else is there?Here, I'm afraid that the wives don't know what's on my mind, what will happen to me in the future?Thinking about it, I have to wring my black hair and want to become a monk.When Caiping heard this, he hurried to persuade him, but he had already twisted half of his hair.The color screen became more and more busy, and said: "If one thing is not done, another thing will happen, how good it is!" While making a noise, I saw Miaoyu's Taoist woman coming to Miaoyu.When the color screen asked Yu, he jumped first and said yes: I went early yesterday morning but didn't come.Inside, Xichun heard it, and hurriedly asked, "Where did you go?"The Taoist women said that the noise they heard last night was smoked by gas, and there was no Miaoyu this morning, and the soft ladder scabbard in the nunnery said again.Xichun was terrified, thinking of Bao Yong's words yesterday, those robbers must have seen her and snatched her away last night, it's unknown.But she has always been very lonely, how can she be willing to spare her life?Why didn't you hear me?Everyone said: Why didn't you hear it?It's just that those of us kept our eyes open and couldn't even say a word, it must be the thief who burned the incense.Miaogu was suffocated by the thieves alone, unable to speak, and there must be many thieves, threatening with knives and sticks, would she still dare to shout?Just as he was talking, Bao Yong yelled at the waist door again, saying: "Hurry up and drive out these bastard women inside, and close the waist door!"When Caiping heard it, she was afraid that it was wrong, so she had to ask her mother-in-law to go out and ask someone to close the waist door.Xichun felt even more distressed, but Caiping and others tried to persuade her with courtesy, but still wrapped up half of the silk.You don't need to say anything about the discussion. Even if Miaoyu was robbed, you still don't know it. Let's wait for the master and wife to come back.The death in Xichun's heart determined the idea of ​​becoming a monk, so let's not mention it for now. Let's say that when Jia Lian returned to Tiekan Temple, he went to his home to check and count the people who went to the house last night, and if he reported the loss, he returned it.Jia Zheng said, "How did you open it?"Jia Lian then presented the list of numbers that Amber remembered, and said: "The things given by the imperial concubine Yuan above have been marked; there are also things that other people don't have much. It is inconvenient to open them. Wait until my nephew takes off his filial piety and goes out." Ask someone to investigate carefully, and it is inevitable to get it out.When Jia Zheng heard the agreement, he nodded and said nothing.Jia Lian went in and met Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, and discussed: "It's better to persuade the master to go home earlier, otherwise, it's all messy."Mrs. Xing said: "That's not true, we are also in shock here."Jia Lian said: "We dare not say this. It's my wife's idea, and the second master follows it."Mrs. Xing discussed with Mrs. Wang. After a night, Jia Zheng was not at ease, so he sent Baoyu in and said, "Ladies, please go home today and come back in two or three days."The family has already made an appointment, please ask the wives to send someone.Mrs. Xing sent Yingge and other people to accompany the spirit, Zhou Rui's family and others were sent to be the manager, and the rest of the people went back.For a while, I was in a hurry to set up my car and prepare my horse.Jia Zheng waited to say goodbye in front of Jiamu's spirit, and everyone cried again. When they all got up and were about to leave, they saw Aunt Zhao still crawling on the ground.Aunt Zhou looked at her and was still crying, so she went to pull her.Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhao's mouth was full of foam, her eyes were erect, and she stuck out her tongue, which frightened her family.Jia Huan came over and yelled.Aunt Zhao woke up and said: I am not going back, I will follow the old lady back to the south.Everyone said: "Old lady, it's up to you!"Aunt Zhao said: "I have been with the old lady all my life, but the old man still doesn't follow me, and some tricksters come to plot against me."I want to rely on Ma Daopo to vent my anger, the money wasted a lot, and no one was killed.Now that I'm back, I don't know who will plot against me.When everyone heard it, they knew it was a mandarin duck attached to her.Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang watched without saying a word.Only Caiyun and others begged on her behalf: "Sister Yuanyang, you died on your own will, what has it to do with Aunt Zhao?"Let her go.Seeing that Mrs. Xing is here, she dare not say anything else.Aunt Zhao said: I am not a mandarin duck, she has gone to the fairyland long ago.I was sent by Hades to ask me why I used nightmare magic with Mrs. Ma.Then, he called Haolian's second grandma!Don't say a word in front of the master here, I have a thousand days of badness, and I have one day of goodness.Good second grandma, dear second grandma!It's not that I want to harm you. I was confused for a moment and listened to that old whore. Just as they were arguing, Jia Zheng sent someone in to call Huan'er.The women went back and said: Aunt Zhao is bewitched, and the third master is watching.Jia Zheng said: "Nothing, let's go first."So the man waited and went back first.Aunt Zhao is still talking nonsense here, and she can't save it for a while.Mrs. Xing was afraid that she would say something again, so she said, "Send a few more people here to watch her. Let's go first. When we get to the city, send the doctor out to watch her."Mrs. Wang disliked her, so she let her go.Baochai was a kind-hearted person. Although she thought about what she had done to Baoyu, she couldn't bear it, so she entrusted Aunt Zhou to take care of her here.Aunt Zhou is also a good person, so she agreed.Li Wan said, "I'm here too."Mrs. Wang said: "You don't have to."So everyone got up.Jia Huan hurriedly said: Am I here too?Mrs. Wang spat: "Stupid things!"You don't even know if your aunt is dead or alive. Do you want to leave?Jia Huan didn't dare to speak anymore.Baoyu said, "My good brother, you can't go."I went into the city and sent someone to see you.After finishing speaking, we all got in the car and went home.There are only Aunt Zhao, Jia Huan, Parrot and others in the temple. Jia Zheng and Mrs. Xing arrived home one after another, and when they went to the upper room, they cried a lot.Lin Zhixiao took everyone from his family to greet Ann, and knelt down.Jia Zheng shouted, "Go!"I will ask you tomorrow.Sister Feng fainted several times that day, but she couldn't come out to meet her; only Xichun felt ashamed when she saw her.Mrs. Xing ignored her, Mrs. Wang continued as usual, and Li Wan and Baochai held hands and said a few words.Only Youshi said: Girl, you are worried, but you have taken care of her for several days.Xichun didn't answer a word, only Zi blushed.Baochai pulled Youshi with a wink.You Shi and others went back to their rooms.Jia Zheng took a brief look, sighed, and said nothing.He sat down on the floor in the study and called Jia Lian, Jia Rong and Jia Yun to give some instructions.Baoyu came to accompany Jia Zheng in the study, and Jia Zheng said, "No need."Laner is still with his mother.There was nothing to say all night. The next day, Lin Zhixiao went into the study and knelt in the morning. Jia Zheng asked about the theft, confessed Zhou Rui, and said: Bao Er was arrested by the yamen, and the missing item was found around him. Things, now interrogating, want to get this gang of thieves on him.When Jia Zheng heard this, he said angrily: "The house slaves are ungrateful and lead thieves to steal from the house owner. It's really the opposite!"Immediately, someone was sent outside the city to tie up Zhou Rui and send him to the Yamen for interrogation.Lin Zhixiao just knelt, not daring to get up.Jia Zheng said, "What are you still kneeling for?"Lin Zhi's filial piety: The slave deserves to die, please forgive me.Just as he was talking, Lai Da and other family members came up to invite Ann and presented the funeral account book.Jia Zhengdao: "Leave it to the second master Lian to figure it out."Shouting Lin Zhixiao out. Jia Lian knelt down and said a word beside Jia Zheng.Jia Zheng stared and said, "Nonsense!"Regarding the matter of the old lady, the silver taels were stolen by thieves, should the slaves be punished for taking them out?Jia Lian blushed and dared not speak or move when she stood up.Jia Zheng said, "How is your daughter-in-law?"Jia Lian knelt down again and said, "It seems that it is useless."Jia Zheng sighed and said, "I didn't expect the family fortune to decline to such an extent!"Besides, Brother Huan's mother is still sick in the temple, and I don't know what the symptoms are. Do you know?Jia Lian didn't dare to speak.Jia Zhengdao: "The word spread out and asked someone to take the doctor to have a look."Jia Lian hurriedly agreed to come out and asked someone to take the doctor to Tiekan Temple to see Aunt Zhao.It is unknown whether it is dead or alive, and it will be broken down next time.
