Although it is very unfortunate to hold a funeral for the New Year, who let the old man die at this time? And the nephew in prison, who knows that he has the wrong tendon, and he chose to commit suicide at this time, which is really extremely unlucky! But can he not do the funeral?

Of course not!

Especially his father's funeral, their family is relying on his father to get to the present, in fact, the old man Wang is a little dissatisfied with the old man, before he wants to retire, why didn't he think of helping his children and grandchildren get a shade seal? Otherwise, it won't, after the old man retires, there will be no half of their Wang family who are officials!

When his father was here, he was naturally very good, but what about when he died? People went to Chaliang, not to mention the commanders of the prefect and the guard, even the county order where their home was located, and they didn't come to the door to mourn, okay?

If it is because of the Chinese New Year, then after receiving the news, at least a steward will be sent to express it, but there is none.

The old man always said that he didn't worry, he didn't worry, he thought that he wouldn't die so early, indeed, the old man's health was really good, he was in his seventies, and he still had the ability to make the concubine pregnant, which made them envious of their juniors.

You must know that his youngest brother of the same mother, the seventh master, has only had one concubine since he got married, and he has not even had a concubine, let alone a concubine! The younger brother and daughter-in-law and the seventh wife have begged God everywhere for divination, just to ask for a son, but unfortunately, since they got married, other people's families have hugged their grandchildren, and their family still has only one precious daughter.

Earlier, the seventh master wanted to recruit a husband for his daughter, but the old man said that the other brothers in the family were flourishing, and he would just pass a son to him as an heir, so why leave his daughter at home to recruit him.

As soon as the old man's words came out, many juniors in the family were ready to move, and later after the seventh master married his daughter, he passed the youngest son born by his daughter back as an heir, so as to inherit the seventh house.

Originally, the seventh old man and his wife were helping their heirs and grandchildren to see each other, but they met the old man and his wife passed away, and the few families that were originally optimistic had to be put aside.

Everything can only wait for filial piety.

Wang Sangongzi's deceased wife has been out of the funeral, so he also rushed back to attend the funeral of his grandparents, he was busy with the funeral of his deceased wife, and when he came back, he only knew that his great-grandparents had passed away, who knew that when he woke up, he went to the mourning hall, and found that in addition to Mr. Wang and his wife, there was also a person who was also mourning at home at the same time.

Who is this man?

Wang Can is written on the tablet, but who is Wang Can?

He asked the brother who was on duty in the mourning hall, but no one knew about it, and he was a little angry at the moment, and he saw that the birth date on the tablet was not written, but it was clearly written when he died, and he passed away after the two old people, why could he do the funeral at home? instead of moving to the temple or nunnery outside, like his wife?

The third prince of Wang was in chaos, and his grandfather, the second master of Wang, received the news and hurried over, and the eldest master Wang snorted coldly, pointed at the third prince of Wang and said, "This is your good grandson, you can take care of it yourself! After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left.

The second master hated that iron could not become steel, so he kicked his grandson several times when he went up, and the female dependents who rushed to hear the news were distressed to death, and the second wife of Wang was busy stepping forward to stop her husband, and the mother of the third prince of Wang was taking the servant woman to get the third prince away.

The headcatcher group came to the door again, and what they saw was such a chaotic scene.

They weren't in a hurry anyway, and each found a place to sit down and watch the play.

They came this time to catch the head, they came for Huang Shi, Huang Shi and Wang Can are accomplices, Huang Shi was involved in a slight case, so Wang Lao asked his son to fish him out, and the yamen was very face-saving and asked Wang Da Shi to take people away.

Now I came back to him for some questions, I wanted to ask clearly, in fact, Wang Can's accomplices are in prison, and it is okay to find them if I want to ask clearly, but what the prefect Wang wants to clarify is Wang Can's identity background, Wang Lao said that this person is the only son of his deceased eldest son, and after checking the yellow book, there is indeed Wang Can, but after his father passed away, he and his mother's household registration moved out of Wang Lao's house.

At that time, the road was opened to the capital, but according to the accomplices, Wang Can never left Ning'an City.

And the yellow stone he brought in, after investigation, has been living in Ning'an City since he was born, but there is no yellow stone in Ning'an City, so I don't know where his household registration is?

Wang Can is dead, but the origin of the yellow stone must be investigated, and Wang Can's family members must also be investigated, in addition to several cases to be investigated in detail, this is a yamen matter, the head catcher did not tell the master Wang who came to inquire about the news, only to find the yellow stone.

When he learned that Huang Shi had left, the head catcher couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you take him back with something to ask him? Why did you let him leave?"

"Alas, isn't it because of my father and mother?" sighed, "It's almost the New Year, and people are going home for a reunion, and we can't stop them, but my father asked us to work harder, and I wanted to find out from his mouth where my nephew's mother and family were, but that kid's mouth was so tight that he couldn't pry it open." ”

At that time, when he received bad news in the restaurant, he thought that someone was joking with him, but he didn't expect it to be true.

After returning home in a hurry, he was preparing for the funeral, and some of them pointed out that before the accident, the second elder had seen Huang Shi, and Huang Shi also said frankly that he had come to bid farewell to the second elder, but the old man Wang had been staying at home for the New Year, and then he went to the restaurant with the old man Wang and his son.

When he left, the second elder was still alive and well, and the husband and wife had lunch together, and then went into the room to rest for lunch, but this time they never woke up.

After listening to the words of the father and son, the head catcher asked the elder and the younger servant who were waiting for their father and son, and their answers were similar, but they all made it clear that when Huang Shi left the Wang family, the second elder was still alive and well.

From this point of view, the death of the second elder should be really an accident, right?

Governor Wang got the reply from the head catcher, shook his head and called the staff.

"Look at it, Lord Wang and his wife both died violently, is there another hidden secret?"

The staff took the case file in the hands of the prefect Wang, and after reading it, they discussed it in a low voice for a while before saying, "My lord, Mr. Wang is old, and there are no examples of sudden death in his sleep, but it is indeed rare for husband and wife to live and die together." ”

"It's rare, but it's not unprecedented. "The older person in the staff, just talking about the ancient times, the prefect Wang had a headache, but he didn't open his mouth to stop the other party, and the other staff members held their own identities, so it was not easy to interrupt him.

is still the nephew of the prefect of the king's mansion, relying on the youngest and the prefect's nephew, he pretended to be stunned and cut off the words.

"According to what Mr. Zhao said, this kind of thing is really possible? But Mr. Zhao just said a few examples, the husband and wife are quite affectionate, and there is no one else in the house, this Wang Lao is not, I heard that before his death, there was just a concubine who had good news!"

"Really?" Mr. Zhao sneered, the few examples he said were actually impossible to delve into, and when the words came out, they were all good words about the deceased, and naturally they did not mention the geometry of the people in the house, or whether there was a quarrel before the death of the husband and wife.

Wang Zhifu thought about it, and then took people to the prison, if you want to know whether the relationship between Mrs. Wang's husband and wife is good or bad, ask Xu Jinniang to know that she is the concubine of Mrs. Wang, living under Mrs. Wang's nose, she must know the relationship between the couple, she doesn't know the time in the Wang family, maybe she will know the secret of the couple

Mr. Wang would have had an accident before, that is, he took several concubines to the hot spring inn to recuperate, and one of the concubines was also rumored to have an affair with Wang Can, but for the sake of Mr. Wang's face, the prefect of Wang did not add this article to Xu Jinniang's crime, but to assist Wang Can to kidnap her husband.

Xu Jinniang's crime is conclusive and irrefutable, so Mrs. Xu will find Mother Ye and want to ask Li Qianqian for help and fish out her daughter, but she doesn't want to think about what she has done to Mother Ye's old master, and now she is looking for Mother Ye to ask her new master for help, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than relying on the love between Mother Ye and the new master.

I really don't know where she got her confidence, Mother Ye will pay attention to her.

Beat the snake and hit seven inches, because the Xu family's mother and son spread false rumors outside, which caused Feng Gongzi's dissatisfaction, and with the help of Liu Er and Jinyi, the Xu family's little industry can't withstand the toss, and now it is about to go bankrupt, so there is still the heart to manage Xu Jinniang in prison.

On the female prison side, Boss Jin's crime has not been clearly determined, because the prefect of the palace is afraid that she is really the pearl of Prince Jing, and the nobles in the palace will give her a lenient punishment, from a beheading decision to a captive ban and other punishments.

Jin Huicui was more wronged, because he was used by Boss Jin to replace Jin Nuer to coax Mrs. Jiang, Boss Jin said that she bought it himself, but the prefect Wang felt that this person's origin was very problematic, so he didn't let people out, and he kept him in prison.

However, when Jin Nu'er cheated to death, Jin Huicui was frightened, and since then she has not been very conscious, and the cell boss sent someone to invite a doctor to check her pulse, saying that she was too frightened and her soul did not belong, and prescribed a tranquilizing soup for her to drink.

It's just that the jailer of the women's prison went in to wait for her to take medicine, and she bit her, and then no one was willing to go in and feed her medicine, so she had to wait for Boss Jin, who was also in prison.

Boss Jin is very good at serving men, waiting for a sick girl? Hehe, don't be stupid! However, if Boss Jin wants to take Qiao, it depends on whether the jailer buys it or not, what, she may be a noble girl of the clan? Don't laugh! If it is really a noble girl of the clan, how can she fall into the dust? The jailers don't care if she likes it or not, and tell her to feed the medicine, she has to go.

Otherwise, just wait for the whip!

Boss Jin is quite tough, he was whipped on the first day, most of the prison guards in the women's prison are the wives of male prison guards, and they have a little strength in their hands, otherwise they will meet a powerful prisoner, what should they do?

But because of this, the two female prisoners in the women's prison, one wounded and one sick, have to see the doctor!

The wound on Boss Jin's face is fine, she can take medicine by herself, but what about the injury on the back? The jailers were angry, and after a while, they became the wound on the back of Boss Jin.

Fortunately, there is another Xu Jinniang, and someone has finally taken over the matter of waiting for people.

When Xu Jinniang first came, she was also very proud, but she quickly recognized her situation.

She gave everything in exchange, but Mother Ye ignored it, she was really angry! While waiting for Boss Jin and Jin Huiju, she couldn't help but take the opportunity to abuse them a little to get angry.

Jin Huihui was ill and pinched, and he was stupid and didn't know how to resist, Boss Jin was different, he dared to pinch her while he was drugged on her back?

Immediately, the two of them scuffled, Jin Huicui was so frightened that his soul was not possessed, and the jailers sighed, I really don't know when this woman will get better.

Roughly pulled Boss Jin and Xu Jinniang away, and found that the once peerless Boss Jin was no longer beautiful, and he had been in prison for more than a month.

Boss Jin is an Oiran in the building, and he is the owner behind the scenes, his ten fingers are not touched by the spring water, and there is a special person waiting for her makeup, how can she know how to comb her hair and makeup, and Jin Huihui is actually the same as her, but in the end, she is young and has a good foundation, unlike Boss Jin's upside-down life day and night, which has long hollowed out her body.

Xu Jinniang's situation is actually similar to Boss Jin, she is nearly ten years older than Boss Jin, and her life in the backyard of the Wang family is by no means easier than that of Boss Jin in the building, and as a concubine, even if she is a pet, she has no more money on hand than Boss Jin, so she looks older than Boss Jin.

When the prefect Wang came in, Xu Jinniang and Boss Jin were shocked, but after seeing the person clearly, Boss Jin pursed his lips and avoided the side, and the jailer called Xu Jinniang to the front.

Knowing that Mr. Wang and his wife both died suddenly, Xu Jinniang couldn't come back to her senses for a while, and when she saw this, she hurriedly signaled the jailer to wake her up.

During the Chinese New Year, the prefect will come to the prison to ask about the case, and they don't dare to let people delay the adult's precious time.

Xu Jinniang came back to her senses and asked, "How did the two of them die?"

"I don't know, I only said sudden death, but I didn't say the cause of death. ”

"They had lunch and used to have a lunch break. Xu Jinniang said.

Wang's staff nodded, "The maid saw that it was almost dusk, but the second elder never called someone to go in and wait for freshening, and felt strange to go in and check, only to find that the second elder had passed away." ”

"Rest for lunch, is there incense in the house?" Xu Jinniang asked again.

Wang's staff turned their heads to look at the prefect's mansion, and when they saw him nodding, they replied, "Yes." ”

"I remember that the old man's original partner was that he didn't wake up after a break in the afternoon. ”

"How do you know?" asked the king's staff.

Xu Jinniang raised her eyebrows to look at him and said, "Because the old man never smokes incense when he rests at my place for lunch." When I first entered the house, I was being favored, and I didn't know his taboos, so I lit incense, and the old man got angry, and I was cold for three months before I entered my room again. She squinted and smiled slightly, "Later, I quietly inquired with the people waiting beside him, and I realized that his original partner had lit incense at noon, and he never woke up after that." The man said that the incense used by the Zeng family was sent by the old man, and he said that he got it from the palace, which was very rare. ”

Wang Zhifu was expressionless, but his heart was turbulent, he had heard that after Wang Lao was admitted to the Jinshi, he was taken as a son-in-law by Gao Lao, he was going to divorce his wife, and then his wife passed away, at that time many people said that he was lucky, because this wife had been filial piety to his parents, belonged to the three not going, and his reputation was good, if he was abandoned, Wang Lao's reputation would be affected.

As a result, there is no need to divorce his wife, and the problem is solved.

"When the old lady takes a lunch break, she must light incense, saying that she will not sleep well if she does not light incense. ”

Xu Jinniang's words are consistent with the testimony of the maids around Mrs. Wang's Gao, so it should be that Mrs. Wang has eaten and rested in his wife's room, he slept first, Mrs. Wang knew her husband's habits, and after he fell asleep, she lit the incense.

It's just that the old lady lit the incense that day......

"What about the incense?" asked the prefect in a sharp voice after leaving the women's prison.

How do the staff know where the incense is? ”

The officials hurried back and forth, and brought back all the incense blocks stored in the old lady's house and treasury from the Wang's house at the end of the third day of the lunar month.

The prefect of the king invited the big incense makers in the city to inspect with the doctors.

Master Ding, a big incense maker, pointed to the remaining incense sticks in the incense burner in Mrs. Wang's room and said, "There is a black sweet fragrance here, which is highly poisonous, and those who smell it will die unknowingly in their sleep." ”

The doctor nodded in agreement.

"And what about these in the storeroom?"

"These are no problem, these two pieces also have a black and sweet fragrance, but these two pieces are slightly different from the leftover one, and they may not be made by the same person. Master Ding said clearly.

The doctor pointed to the two pieces taken out of the warehouse, "These two pieces should have been made more than forty or fifty years ago, and the medicinal effect of the black and sweet incense in them is almost dissipating, but the residual piece is very toxic, but it dissipates quickly, and the person who makes the incense is much more clever than the former." ”

I don't know who made this piece of incense, and Mrs. Wang will light this piece of incense, is it a mistake, or is it intentional? It is no longer known, it seems that the case of the sudden death of Mr. Wang and his wife can only be said to be an accident!
