48. The 48th eclipse

"Second Chu Lao, you are messing around in the hall again!" This low voice was like a muffled thunder on the ground, which made everyone in the hall silent, turned around and looked outside the hall, Chu Li raised his hands to make an innocent appearance without three hundred taels of silver, but when he saw who was coming, everyone's faces were good-looking, as if they were smiling, and the banter and jokes in their eyes could not be hidden.

Song Yu tugged at Jiang Qin's sleeve, leaned closer and whispered, "This look is a little strange, isn't it? I'm not afraid of you at all......

Jiang Qin stood in the center of the main hall and glanced at the people gathered in the hall a few times, "Lu Wu, Taishan, and Yan Baozi, you guys don't handle affairs in your own hall, what are you going to do here?"

"You are allowed to be merry and happy in the world, and we are not allowed to chat!" Chu Li squeezed his eyebrows at Jiang Qin, and his meaningful gaze made Jiang Qin uncomfortable, Song Yu heard this and somehow moved two steps and hid behind Jiang Qin, his face turned red, and he wondered in his heart that these people didn't go to the world, but they seemed to know the bad things between him and Jiang Qin.

I have to say that the bystanders are clear, the authorities are confused, as soon as they hear the word merry and happy, Jiang Qin and Song Yu will be mistaken, and Shen Qing and Cui Yu, who are standing on a high place, know something inside, but they didn't miss Jiang Qin's momentary weakness and Song Yu's dodge. As for the few palaces and ghosts who only cared about the bet, they only regarded Jiang Qin's reaction as a void of heart, and secretly congratulated themselves that they should not have made a wrong bet.

Being stared at by so many eyes, Jiang Qin's serious face couldn't pretend to be a little unbearable, so he walked up the stairs and walked to the case with Song Yu, lowered his eyes and swept over the case, and asked casually, "Was it just a trial, what was the result?" This was just to divert his gaze, and naturally he didn't look carefully at the so-called palace trial records.

"Yun Niang's case is being tried, and the sentence has not been determined for the time being, just waiting for you to come back and try again. Chu Li picked up the record, took it in his hand and shook it.

Yun Niang? In connection with the cannibalism incident that happened in S City in the past two days, after thinking about it for a while, I guessed five or six points, "It turned out to be her, and the purpose and motive were all cleared and the sentence was determined, what are I going to do? What she committed was nothing more than hurting people's limbs and killing, and it should have been handled by your second palace, could it be that she did other evil things?"

"Hehe, does the eldest brother still know this thing?" Chu Li threw the black jade pendant on the desk, and the word "Song" engraved on the seal happened to be facing upwards, and it met Jiang Qin's eyes, Jiang Qin's eyes were stunned, how could this thing be here? Chu Li saw Jiang Qin's stunned expression, smiled secretly in his heart, and did not forget to mend the knife, "This is a token of love given to him by Yun Niang's husband." ”

Song Yu's eyes kept falling on the jade pendant, his eyes were full of doubts, he couldn't be sure if this was the jade pendant that had been blackened, and now when he heard what kind of love token, he immediately jumped out from behind Jiang Qin, picked up the jade pendant and put it in front of his eyes to take a closer look, and then, his eyes narrowed, and he looked at Jiang Qin angrily, "This is the jade pendant I gave you, right?" I said why I have never seen you wear it, it turned out to be for another woman, Jiang Qin...... Yours

Jiang Qin couldn't argue, and subconsciously grabbed Song Yu's hand, afraid that people would run away again, "Don't listen to their nonsense, I have worn this jade pendant before, but I lost it, I didn't tell you if I was afraid that you would be angry." Jiang Qin explained dryly, and it was not difficult to find the tension hidden in it. Song Yu looked at Jiang Qin and didn't speak, as if he was thinking about whether to believe Jiang Qin's words.

The onlookers only felt that this plot was full of ups and downs! The eyes swept back and forth between Jiang Qin and Song Yu, and when they saw that they were holding hands and were as unaware as they were used to it, they couldn't help but hide their faces, the eldest brother of the first hall of Yama and the mother of the third hall of Yama actually succeeded in holding hands under their noses, this and this...... Or the wrong bet!

"Ahem, cough, cough ......" The coughing sounds that ruined the atmosphere sounded one after another, Song Yu came back to his senses, hurriedly withdrew his hand, glanced at Jiang Qin, Jiang Qin calmly stroked his robe, and said coldly, "Talk about business." ”

"You better see for yourself, we need to calm down. Chu Li threw the trial record to Jiang Qin, and sat down on the chair like a loss of strength, and looked at Jiang Qin and Song Yu who were looking at the record book together, shook his head painfully, and thought deeply with his hands on his forehead.

At this time, no one in the hall spoke, but his eyes fluttered behind Jiang Qin's back, and Bai Xuyao poked Cui Yu with his backhand, "You already knew?"

Cui Yu pursed her lips and smiled, "I just noticed a little bit of abnormality." The glasses on the bridge of his nose covered the light flashing in Cui Yu's eyes as always, and when he lowered his eyes, he suddenly remembered the picture of Jiang Qin touching the corner of Song Yu's lips many years ago, when Song Yu was seriously injured and sleeping, and that sigh still seems to linger in his ears.

After Jiang Qin read the record book, he didn't say much, and only ordered the ghost to bring Yun Niang over.

Before the figure arrived, the sound of chains dragging on the ground sounded first, and the jury that was watching the excitement once again suppressed the curiosity and gossip in their hearts, and stood on both sides with their faces, Chu Li also gave up his seat to Jiang Qin, and he and Song Yu sat aside.

Yun Niang, who came to the hall again, was much more wolf than before, bound by chains, and could only let other ghosts bully when she walked outside, for this kind of thing, the ghost has always been indifferent, especially the evil ghost like Yun Niang, who has done a lot of evil and increased their work burden, and the ghost is very happy to see the newcomer to the evil ghost being bullied a little, sharpening his sharpness. After Yun Niang was captured in the underworld since she was tied, she didn't care about the qiē she suffered, and when she saw the majestic Yama Jiang Qin above the high hall, Yun Niang, who was now a prisoner, couldn't turn a blind eye, and the familiar inferiority complex and astringency in her heart swept over again, she tried hard to straighten her back and looked at Jiang Qin with her head up, as if in this way, she would not feel how humble she was.

Jiang Qin looked at Yun Niang's face, and was stunned to look for a long time in his memory before he confronted those people who had long been blurred in Songjia Village more than a thousand years ago. Song Yu on the side saw that Jiang Qin met her eyes as soon as he saw Nayun Niang, he felt a little uncomfortable, and he didn't care about any rules, so he crossed Jiang Qin and asked, "Is that jade pendant really given to you by Jiang Qin?"

"Yes," Yun Niang looked at Jiang Qin in front of her stupidly, her eyes were empty, and she recalled the past, "Jiang Gongzi drank red bean soup, which is to respond to this family matter, and he left this token before leaving......"

That was when she couldn't hold on, and after being prodded by Qi Tai, Liu Shaoyuan threatened her with her father's life and wanted to take her as a concubine, and only gave her three days to think about it. Yun Niang is really desperate, guarding an empty small shop, unable to procure, there is no business in the store, and no one in the village is willing to help her, she can't even make up the money to sue the official.

Yun Niang sat in the empty medicinal restaurant, looking at the tables and benches, as if the excitement when the store opened happened yesterday, at that time, her father and mother would still feel sorry for her situation, thinking about Fa'er to help her, but now ...... Thinking of this, Yun Niang's nose was sour, her eyebrows frowned lightly, and she inadvertently burst into tears, her beauty was still the same, but she had long lost her original look. Yun Niang poured a cup of tea, touched her lips and found that the water was cold, she shivered, as if the water had been cold into her heart, Yun Niang suddenly missed the cup of hot tea poured by Jiang Gongzi, if Jiang Gongzi was here, she would be able to ......

What can she do?

Yun Niang put away the teapot and cup on the table in frustration, but suddenly heard the sound of unhurried footsteps from outside the door, from far to near, more and more clear, Yun Niang's heart suddenly beat rapidly, she knew who the footsteps belonged to. Yun Niang put down the things in her hand in a daze, turned her head to look at the door, and met Jiang Gongzi's gaze, at that moment, the look in Yun Niang's eyes was like fireworks suddenly blooming in the night, which could break through the darkness.

Jiang Gongzi looked into the store and asked, "Are you still in business?"

"Of course, Jiang Gongzi hasn't been here for a long time, come in. Yun Niang got up and wiped the table, and welcomed Jiang Gongzi in, she secretly took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in her heart, and barely kept her tone steady, "What do you want to eat today...... By the way, I have something to do these days, and I haven't had time to buy some ingredients, I'm afraid that I will be wronged by Jiang Gongzi to eat something coarse. ”

"It's all right, you can watch it. Jiang Qin played with the jade pendant inside through his sleeves and didn't care.

"Well, thank you Jiang Gongzi for your understanding. Yun Niang turned around and wanted to go to the kitchen, suddenly remembered something, her face was dyed with a layer of red, she bit her lower lip, hesitated for a moment and turned to look at Jiang Gongzi, saw Jiang Gongzi looked at him suspiciously, and lowered his head embarrassedly, "I don't know, Jiang Gongzi knows that a bowl of soup in our village is made of red beans, which means ......"

"Uh-huh, let's do this. Jiang Qin responded casually, sensing that Song Yu would have a catastrophe in the past two days, his heart was a little uneasy, so he didn't have the heart to chat with Yun Niang again.

"Jiang Gongzi is really willing to drink the red bean soup made by Yun Niang?" Yun Niang's eyes and eyebrows were full of shame.

It's just that Jiang Qin can't pay attention to this, because Yun Niang's cooking skills are good, so every time he comes to Songjia Village, he will stay here for a long time, as for what Yun Niang eats, he doesn't care much, and he is not picky eaters, so Jiang Gongzi just waved his hand casually, "Go, I'm really hungry now." ”

That bowl of red bean soup, soft and glutinous, sweet and fragrant, carrying all her hopes and joys, when she held it out with both hands, Yun Niang walked carefully every step, and when she put it in front of Jiang Gongzi, her hands still couldn't stop trembling.

Jiang Gongzi lowered his head and sniffed, he didn't like the taste that was too sweet and greasy, but seeing Yun Niang's nervous appearance, he still took the spoon and stirred it a few times, put it in his mouth, the red beans were already cooked soft, melted in the mouth, the rustling taste wrapped the taste buds, and when it slid into the throat, it was unexpectedly smooth, not as sweet as imagined, but there was an astringent sweetness. Jiang Gongzi pursed his lips with a faint smile, "It's delicious, I like it very much." ”

Yun Niang, the corners of her eyes were already red, as if she would cry in the next moment, Jiang Gongzi never disliked her for being a widow and those stigmaties, the big stone in her heart finally landed, at this moment she lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, holding her dress, she was so ashamed that she didn't dare to look at Jiang Gongzi again, she only felt that her face was burning in a panic, "It's good if you like it, I'm very happy that you can accept it...... I, I'll go and scoop you up with a bowl of porridge. With that, he trotted to the kitchen.

A bowl of red bean soup was about to be drunk, Jiang Gongzi's eyes suddenly lit up, and Song Yu woke up!

It's too late and I don't have the heart to say hello to Yun Niang, when Jiang Gongzi left, his sleeves swept over the table, and he hurriedly left some silver coins, and then disappeared, and a piece of white and clear jade pendant and a few taels of silver were quietly placed on the table.
