Chapter V: Interrogation
Langhua slipped into the warm quilt with the help of his subordinates, and then slowly opened his eyes under the cry of his grandmother, and shouted crisply, "Grandmother." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½foβ
"Okay, okay," Grandmother smiled again and again, wiping the moist corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "My Nan'er is really well, Medicine Buddha blesses, Medicine Buddha blesses, and from now on, the Gu family will worship Medicine Master Liuliguang Rulai forever." β
Langhua glanced at Mrs. Lu Er, who stood aside and smiled awkwardly.
Mrs. Lu has always been known for her virtuous and virtuous virtues, although her mother's Wang family is not a famous family, but it is also a scholarly family, Mrs. Lu's father and brother served in Zhenjiang, after Zhenjiang was broken by the rebels, Zhenjiang was slaughtered, Mrs. Lu's father was killed, although the brother survived, but since then it has been like being branded with the mark of the general of the defeated army, and has not been used by the imperial court again, Mrs. Lu has helped her mother's family to dredge up the relationship, and in the first year of Zhizheng, she passed the Zhongshu Province Zuo Chengning's family to find a school scholar in Yangzhou, after Lu Ying's career improved, the Wang family relied on Lu Ying to really improve, and Wang's brother has been promoted from Wupin Cityγ
If she remembers correctly, now should be the time when Mrs. Lu is the most proud, her father and brother are in office, Mrs. Lu Er was also pregnant this year, and then Mrs. Lu Er's body was weak, which caused a miscarriage, and finally saved her life, but she couldn't give birth anymore, and it was only at that time that Mrs. Lu recorded her eldest son Lu Ying in her name.
After she and Lu Ying got married, the Lu family continued to be run by Mrs. Lu, and she also cooperated with Mrs. Lu to take care of the affairs of the inner house as much as possible, she knew that Mrs. Lu was dissatisfied with her blind daughter-in-law, but she didn't expect that at the last moment, the Lu family didn't ask about it, and Mrs. Lu insisted that she and Pei Qitang were just ****** regarded her as an ant in the final analysis.
The mother hurriedly walked over and explained to Mrs. Lu, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, this child is sick and confused." β
Mrs. Lu Er looked at Mrs. Jing on the ground, and then at her grandmother and mother, "Isn't this Mrs. Jing Ming invited from the temple?
Old Lady Gu coughed and frowned, looking at Master Jing's gaze rather coldly, "I have to ask Master Jing Ming." β
As if frightened, Langhua whispered, "Eyes, she wants to pierce my eyes, she wants to hurt my eyes." β
Master Jingming, who was originally lying on the ground, heard Langhua's words, and the voice of chanting became louder.
Second Mrs. Lu's expression was very surprised, as if she had just knocked her hand off, and it didn't look like she was deliberately pretending or hiding something.
She's just an eight-year-old girl, who would go out of her way to buy a nun to blind her.
Third uncle, third aunt?
Grandmother gave birth to three sons-in-law, the second uncle died early when he was a minor, leaving his father and the third uncle, the third uncle was cowardly and had no idea, so his grandmother married the third aunt who was cool and straightforward for him. Her mother told her that the third uncle and third aunt were afraid that the rebels would really come to Zhenjiang, so they fled to Hangzhou together while the Lu family was relocated, and since then they have followed the Lu family like maggots on tarsal bones.
After she married Lu Ying, the third uncle and third aunt came to the door to beg for money for various reasons, and in the end, Lu Ying bought hundreds of acres of land near Kyoto for them and forced them to move out.
The third aunt always mentioned the rich dowry that her grandmother had bought for her in advance.
Could it be that it was because of this money that he came to harm her?
Then why not just kill her, just blind her?
Either it is the Lu family, her marriage contract with Lu Ying is something that her grandmother and Mrs. Lu have been optimistic about for a long time, if it is because someone in the Lu family does not want her to marry Lu Ying, so that she becomes a blind girl?
However, although she was blind in her previous life, she still married Lu Ying.
Langhua had no clue for a while.
Now it is only from the mouth of the Jing Ming Master that some truths can be discovered.
Old Lady Gu said coldly: "Because of your reputation as a monk, I asked you to treat Langhua." Not only did he make offerings to you, but he also cleared out the house according to your request, so that you could recite the mantra, but I didn't expect you to recite the scriptures, but to send us away to harm Langhua. Thinking about it, she felt afraid, if Langhua hadn't woken up and screamed, it was very likely that she would be blind now, and what would happen to a blind girl without a father in the future, she didn't dare to think about it.
was supposed to save her granddaughter, but instead she harmed her granddaughter, and her grandmother Jiuquan couldn't live in peace.
Old Lady Gu sneered and looked at Mother Jiang beside her.
Mother Jiang willingly called two rough mothers-in-law to come in and suppressed Master Jingming, who turned pale with fright.
Old Lady Gu said, "Today, I will cut out your heart and liver to see if it is black," and paused, "Wait a while and enter the Hades Palace, and see if the Buddha is willing to let you out." β
Hearing Old Lady Gu's words, Master Jing was so frightened that she was so frightened that her mother next to her gasped, and Second Mrs. Lu also opened her mouth in surprise.
Grandmother has such a means to govern the family to support the entire Gu family, but unfortunately, the Gu family has no successor, and after the death of the grandmother, the Gu family tree is scattered.
In the previous life, my mother wanted to buy back the land of the Gu family in Zhenjiang, but she was unsuccessful, but was cheated of a few hundred taels of silver, and my mother was simply disheartened, regardless of her opposition, and wanted to sell the last remaining Zhuangzi in Zhenjiang. The steward of the Zhuangzi was Xiao Yi, the son of Xiao's mother beside her, and Xiao's mother arranged for Xiao Yi to come to the capital from Zhenjiang to see her, saying that there was something related to her father to tell her, and on the day she was killed, Xiao's mother went out of the house to pick up Xiao Yi, so she didn't know what Xiao Yi was going to say.
Master Jing struggled and begged for mercy, "The old lady spared me! I was also instructed by someone to harm the eldest lady, and I will never dare to harm anyone again, never again." β
Old Lady Gu kept her eyes calm, "Tell me everything you know." β
The two mothers-in-law let go, and Master Jing collapsed to the ground, and it took a while to breathe a sigh of relief, "At this point, I'm ...... I don't dare to hide it anymore, before I came to see the eldest lady, someone sent fifty taels of silver, and asked me to try my best to blind the eldest lady's eyes, and I will give another fifty taels after the matter is completed. β
Master Jing swallowed a mouthful and continued: "When I heard this kind of thing, I also felt strange at first, Miss Gu is dangerously ill, and it stands to reason that if you can't even cure smallpox, there is no need to harm Miss's eyes. When I came here, I found that Miss Gu's illness had improved, and as long as she took good care of her, she would definitely be cured...... So...... That's why ......"
Langhua frowned.
If what Master Jing said is true, the person who wants to harm her is right next to her, or at least has eyeliner by her side.
Master Jing's body was still trembling, "I...... On weekdays...... Although he sells some medicinal powders that can't cure diseases, he hasn't done anything harmful. It's just that I heard that those rebels will fight in Zhenjiang, and those people are all evildoers who drink blood, and the ascetics in our temple met those people, but they were skinned alive after saying a few fair words. I also...... I just want to take the money and leave...... That's why ...... Just ......" said and climbed in front of the pharmacist Liuli Guangrulai, and kept worshipping.
Master Jing said how much truth Lang Hua didn't know.
However, the rumors about the rebels were the same as what she had heard from Lu Ying.
Most of those rebels are ringing horses and robbers, who are engaged in burning, killing and looting on weekdays, and after raising the banner of rebellion, they are even more unscrupulous, washing the city all the way, and the methods are also very cruel.
But Master Jing was really frightened by the rebels, so he would do such a hurtful thing?
She doesn't believe it, human nature has never been difficult to change, a good person will never harm others for a hundred taels of silver, not to mention that Master Jing is very easy to do this, if it weren't for the accumulation of evil thoughts over the years, she wouldn't be afraid that the Buddha would settle accounts with her sooner or later.
Master Jing thought that he could protect himself by passing the blame away, but he was wrong.
She, Gu Langhua, is by no means a kind person who casually shows compassion.
Mother reacted first, her face full of resentment, "You said that someone bought you to harm our Langhua? Who is it? Do you know it?"
