Miss Luan's crazy words revealed all kinds of warning words, and Zhu Shouqian and Xu Miaoyi listened to it intentionally, and felt that every sentence was shocking: Could it be that the Xie family really has grievances, and even the death of the Luan prefect and his wife is quite strange?

Miss Luan pushed the window in the middle of the night and went crazy, several times she almost struggled to jump out of the tower, fell to her death, the mother-in-law had no choice but to ask the strong Zhu Shouqian to carry Miss Luan back to the quiet room, Xu Miaoyi administered a needle, and turned into a calming pill to feed Miss Luan.

Miss Luan herself has a disease, her body is weak, and she stays up late to paint, at this time she is exhausted and sleepy, even if she is asleep, she is muttering dream words in her mouth, this Miss Luan is a genius girl when she is young, and her dream words are not profound Zen words, or poems similar to Qu Yuan's depression and indignation.

Xu Miaoyi looked at the mountains of paintings and repaired ancient paintings in her house, and couldn't help but secretly feel sorry for her, if there was no change in the family, this Miss Luan would definitely leave her name in the history of poetry and painting.

Xu Miaoyi looked at Miss Luan's paintings one by one, most of them are Buddhist-related portraits, such as the Demon Heavenly Xuannu, the rebound pipa, the flying sky and other paintings, all of which have the style of famous artists. Probably because she was a woman and insane, there was no signature or seal on each painting. This Miss Luan's pen is only used for drawing, not a word, let alone any letters and poems.

"Cousin, look at this picture." Zhu Shouqian was also looking through the paintings and found that one of the huge picture scrolls was a little strange.

Xu Miaoyi moved over, and the painting seemed to depict the scene of Abi's hell. For example, the Skinning Prison, the Tongue Pulling Prison, the Scissors Prison, the Fire Pit Prison, the Knife Mountain Prison and so on eighteen layers of hell.

Zhu Shouqian pointed to Daoshan Prison and said, "Cousin, look at these two ghosts struggling in hell. ”

Xu Miaoyi looked at it, it was a man and a woman, with different appearances and temperaments, and the two supported each other and dodged the blades of the cow ghosts and snake gods. On the far left, the bull's head stabbed at the male ghost, and the female ghost pounced to block it, and then the female ghost was stabbed, and the male ghost lay down and cried, and was immediately stabbed; Then the male and female ghosts stood up one after another, pulled out the blades on their bodies, and encountered the machetes of the horse's face. This time, both of them died by slitting their throats, and then they were resurrected, and then they were beheaded, and they kept resurrecting, being killed, resurrecting, and being killed again, and the pain of killing was endless.

"You mean...... This pair of men and women is the incarnation of Luan Zhifu and Mrs. Wang? Xu Miaoyi looked at her cousin, Zhu Shouqian nodded, "In Liu Chen's record, they were stabbed to death by their grandfather, cousin, if you look carefully, even the details of the stabbing are the same, the bull's head stabbed the man first, the woman stopped her body, she was stabbed to death first, and then the man was also stabbed to death." ”

A lightning bolt struck, and the eerie details in the painting scroll were exquisite, indeed exactly the same as the details recorded by Liu Chen in the file: "...... Xie Zaixing rebelled and killed the phoenix. Feng's wife, Wang, covered the phoenix with her body and killed her ......"

But judging from the details of this painting, Luan Feng and Wang actually stood up again after the sword!

Zhu Shouqian said: "During the Three Kingdoms, Huang Gai of Eastern Wu wanted to deceive Cao Cao, and discussed a bitter plan with Zhou Yu, in order to gain Cao Cao's trust, Huang Gai and Zhou Yu pretended to be incompatible, arguing with each other and squeezing each other, and then Zhou Yu tied Huang Gai and beat him with a whip without leaving any mercy, Huang Gai was humiliated and angrily took refuge in Cao Cao. Cao Cao was therefore convinced of him, and Huang Gai responded to Cao's camp and finally won the Battle of Chibi. ”

Xu Miaoyi played a small life and lived in the folk and didn't read much, but the story of the Three Kingdoms is widely known under the interpretation of the storyteller, especially this Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer, even the peasant women in the village know a little, of course she also knows.

Xu Miaoyi spread the scroll on the painting table with some excitement, and Wei, Shu and Wu during the Three Kingdoms period fought against each other. It is very similar to the situation of the three major forces of Mingjiao in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, Zhang Shicheng, Zhu Yuanzhang, and Chen Youliang.

"What does my cousin mean is that my grandfather deceived Zhang Shicheng and played a bitter trick with Luan Feng?"

Zhu Shouqian said: "At that time, the emperor was fighting with Chen Youliang on the front line, and Zhang Shicheng stared at Jinhua City, always facing the danger of being attacked by the enemy. My grandfather and Luan Feng were both literate and martial, guarding Jinhua City for many years, and it is estimated that they have reached a critical juncture, with internal and external troubles, and they can no longer hold it, so they have to use bitter meat to deceive them. If you think about it, after my grandfather surrendered, he always led Zhang Shicheng's soldiers to defeat the battle, and hundreds of thousands of Eastern Wu troops lost their armor and almost wiped out their entire army. ”

Xu Miaoyi felt that her cousin's words were very reasonable, and pointed to the picture axis and said: "According to the meaning of the painting, Luan Zhifu and Mrs. Wang and her grandfather played a bitter trick and cheated to death on the spot, but after standing up, they were cut by another horse and died. In other words, Luan Zhifu and his wife originally cheated to death, but they were known about the plan and died under the knife, thus confirming the bloody case of his grandfather's murder? ”

Zhu Shouqian said: "Yes, I think this painting expresses this meaning, true and false, false and true, it was originally a bitter plan to deceive Zhang Shicheng, but something went wrong halfway, and finally Zhou Yu and Huang Gai died." ”

Xu Miaoyi nodded, "This can also make sense, maybe this scene was bumped into by Miss Luan, she was stimulated and crazy, and she couldn't speak, so she vaguely recreated the scene of that day through the guò painting." ”

Zhu Shouqian's eyes were cold and crazy, full of resentment and anger, "If this is the case, then the grandfather's family is really unjust!" Even my father's so-called rebellion back then may have other hidden motives! But with just a painting of a crazy woman, how can the Xie family rehabilitate Zhaoxue? ”

Oh, yes! In the face of the ledgers, letters and other ironclad evidence in the dossier, who would believe the drawing of a madman?

When the lightning flashed and thundered, Xu Miaoyi's mind also flashed, and she said, "I know!" We can go to the autopsy! Being stabbed through the chest and abdomen with a sharp arrow is completely different from the corpse of a person who has been killed by cutting his throat. Even if it turns into a pile of white bones, the damage to the bones can still be distinguished! ”

This is the digging of graves.

Luan Zhifu and his wife used their lives to protect Jinhua City, so the place where they buried their bones was not in the ancestral tomb of the Luan family's hometown in Suzhou, but in Jinhua. Xu Miaoyi immediately decided that the next stop was not to rush to Shaoxing to investigate the case, but to go to Jinhua to inquire.

Xu Miaoyi is a medical student, and she is not afraid of corpses, let alone ghosts and gods, "If the bones were really killed by cutting the throat, it means that Liu Chen's record is wrong, or that Luan Prefect and his wife did not die under the sword of their grandfather, but were murdered and framed for their grandfather." ”

Zhu Shouqian and Xu Miaoyi glanced at each other, and each saw hope in each other's eyes.

The two cousins read at night, read all of Miss Luan's paintings, and picked out some suspicious ones, and said to their mother-in-law: "Make a price, we all want these paintings." ”

The mother-in-law looked embarrassed, "Two donors, our young lady is crazy, she doesn't know how to broker, she doesn't know how to deal with people, and she doesn't even know what money is." All of them are taken care of by the young lady's younger brother Luan Balang, who signed a contract with the temple, and the young lady's paintings are given to the pilgrims who give the sesame oil money as a favor, if they stay in the temple and sell them on consignment - you go and ask the monk who knows the guest, the old body can't be the master. ”

After dawn, Zhu Shouqian and Xu Miaoyi found the monk who was eating fasting. The monk saw that they came from an extraordinary background, and did not dare to ask for more, so he let them take a box of scrolls for a hundred taels of silver. Among them is the portrait of Zhu Shouqian's mother painted by Miss Luan overnight last night.

Xu Miaoyi gave her mother-in-law twenty taels of silver, and advised: "Trouble your mother-in-law to take care of Miss Luan, her illness needs to be treated with medicine for a long time, otherwise she will become more and more crazy, you go find a good doctor...... Well, there is a Yao Ji pharmacy in Suzhou City, which has been passed down for several generations, and Dr. Yao's medical skills are excellent, please come and take a look. ”

Xu Miaoyi was removed from the clan by Zen Master Daoyan, and has nothing to do with the Yao family since then, but after all, the Yao family has raised her for eight years and taught her medical skills without reservation, Xu Miaoyi is grateful to the Yao family, but now she and the Yao family have a huge disparity in status, and it is not good to have any more dealings, so they have to take care of one or two secretly.

The mother-in-law smiled happily and agreed.

Early in the morning, the rainstorm stopped, it rained lightly, with the morning bell of Hanshan Temple, looking at the yellow wall glazed tiles, the Buddha incense bursts, the monks who did the morning class began to chant Buddhist scriptures, the sound of wooden fish started, and the Hanshan Temple bathed in the drizzle was like a fairyland.

stayed up all night and gained a lot, and Zhu Shouqian and Xu Miaoyi were not tired because of this.

Zhu Shouqian was high-spirited and said: "Miss Luan said that there are slanders in the world, bullying me, insulting me, laughing at me, despising me, despying me, hating me, and deceiving me, how to deal with it?" Just endure him, let him, let him, avoid him, respect him, ignore him, and after ten years, you will look at him! Now that the ten-year period has arrived, you and I are not young children, and after working together to rehabilitate my grandfather's family, I will definitely return to Hanshan Temple to reshape the golden body of the Buddha statue. ”

Xu Miaoyi sighed: "I hope so, Miss Luan is also pitiful, I hope to find out this case and end the grievances between the Xie family and the Luan family." In the future, I will send someone to take good care of Miss Luan. ”

Zhu Shouqian said: "That's natural, Miss Luan is our great benefactor. ”

When the two returned to the post station with the box, Xu Zengshou, Chang Sen, Li Jinglong, bought the eight thorns and others did not return all night, and there was no one at the moment, I don't know where to fool around, Suzhou City was originally a gold cave, these four people are all fun, some are silver, don't think about it, you don't have to think about it, you can stay overnight by the side of the pink confidant, and you can't miss it.

Xu Miaoyi frowned and said, "Throw their salute items off the boat, and we'll go first." ”

This bunch of scum! We are here to investigate the case, not to travel to Jiangnan!

Mao Xiang and Hu Chongqi, the commander of the guards of the Jingjiang Palace, both looked at Zhu Shouqian, and Zhu Shouqian said finally: "My cousin and I will take the first step and move my cage to my cousin's ship, and my ship will be left to the world."

Wheel status, of course, is Zhu Shouqian, the king of the county, the highest, everyone obeyed the order, and soon set sail, Xu Miaoyi instructed the boatman to change the route to Jinhua, Mao Xiang was puzzled, and asked: "Isn't it going to the old house of the Xie family in Shaoxing?" What do you do in Jinhua? ”

Xu Miaoyi said lightly: "Dig the grave and look at the corpse." ”
