"In July, the First Emperor collapsed on the dune platform. Prime Minister Si is out of the world, afraid that the princes and the world will change, it is a secret, and there will be no mourning...... It will be hot, and the car stinks, and it is an edict from the official order to drive a stone of abalone to mess with its smell. "Historical records, Qin Shi Huang Benji.

Every time Xiusun opens such a history book, he will always sigh that people's hearts are not ancient, look, look, how sincere the ancients were.

Such a big scandal is so meticulously recorded, the time of the crime, the place of the crime, the tools of the crime, the modus operandi, and the murderer, the explanation of such a big case of usurpation is clear and clear, and the style is graceful, the rhetoric is gorgeous, and it has a high literary appreciation value.

Then again, Taishi Gong is from the Han Dynasty, and no one will trouble him when he writes about the Qin Dynasty like this, but after all, people still offended the emperor of the current dynasty because of some things and paid some price, well, he is a principled and honest person, credible.

Xiusun recalled the records of the history books, this joke that has been circulated for nearly 2,000 years, has appeared countless times after the tea and dinner of the common people, has been used by the storyteller for artistic creation countless times, and has been used as a classic case countless times in the recital of the imperial historian.

The unlucky first emperor, he is a thousand nobles, is the son of heaven worshiped by all the people, is an example of the struggle of the husband, but because of this late festival, there is a period of cutting and messing between the people and the people like to eat salted fish, you are the wind and I am the sand, sad, sad.

I don't know if the First Emperor was also reborn, would he order the destruction of all the salted fish in the world at the first time, at least cut off the thousand-year-old relationship with the salted fish.

If her uncle who is a business wizard returns to the Qin Dynasty, he may not buy a batch of salted fish and sell it at a high price, the gimmicks are all thought of for him, take a look, this is the first emperor's salted fish, eat salted fish, dip in dragon spirit, and cast a good baby in the next life to worship the marquis, buy more cheaply.

A wise man surnamed Ke once told her, "Eliminate all the impossible, the only thing left is the truth, no matter how unbelievable he may be." ”

Xiusun used to hear it in a fog, and she didn't understand it if she wanted to break her head, but now, she really believes it.

The strong musk smell said, the coffin sealed in advance, the twenty-day rapid course of the disease, and the sudden appearance of the heir, this qiē, thinking about it in series, seems to have been explained, unbelievable explanation.

——I said that everyone understands here, and I will continue to analyze the dividing line in detail later——

At sunset, go to cry in front of the spirit according to the rules, even if the first day is over, on this day, many old people in Jiangpu County came to mourn, and the county magistrate Qiu Zhen, Wuju people Meng Lao, Han Yuanwai, Li Lao, etc. have sent a couplet.

The men in the clan were all in front, and Xiusun looked at the white flower with a large number of flax figures, and he didn't know which one was the eighth master.

After the mourning, the ladies were led by their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to their respective courtyards, while the old lady, the Nguyen family, and the four sisters were led to a large courtyard in the southeast of the old house.

The old lady stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking at the old plaque, as if she had lost her mind.

The mother-in-law who led the way took a few steps forward and said flatteringly, "This is arranged by the second old lady, and the order is urgent, the slaves and maids only cleaned up the second courtyard where you usually live, and asked the sixth old lady to forgive me." ”

The old lady seemed to be a little moved, and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you for me, second brother and second sister-in-law." Shen's mother ......"

Mother Shen stuffed a purse into the mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law quickly turned the purse upside down, as if the weight was beyond her expectations, she thanked her happily, left a few little maids, and withdrew.

The old lady still stared at the plaque, shook Xiusun's hand and said, "Ah Sun, this is the courtyard of our old fourth room." ”

The old lady seemed to sigh and choke in her throat, but her wrinkled eyes were still dry.

-- I suddenly felt like I could write a dividing line for a detective novel --

It was dark, Bai Sensen's lantern reflected the simple and old pillars, the original intricate and exquisite carvings looked black at this time, Xiusun held the old lady's arm all the way through the corridor into the second courtyard, and didn't look at it much, guessing that it should be similar to the courtyard pattern of the old lady Fangcai.

The eighth master and the other masters and old ladies rested in the outer courtyard.

The old lady and his wife led Xiusun to live in the main room, and Xiuguan Xiuzhi Xiuqian was accompanied by her mother-in-law and the nurse to sleep in the room.

Xiuguan pulled Xiuzhi and planned to push to show the deep sisterhood, but was coldly interrupted by Ruan, "Xiuzhi Xiuqian, go to live in the West Chamber." Then, Xiuguan, who was standing in the middle of the courtyard at a loss, turned around and entered the house.

The old lady heard it, glanced at the maids and women in the old mansion were in the first place, and lowered her eyes and didn't say anything, she also noticed the inappropriateness of Xiuguan today, thinking of the theory about water and fish that Xiusun said last time, thinking about whether to go back and ask a reliable parenting grandmother.

Exhausted, Xiusun fell asleep very smoothly, and Ruan sat on the edge of Luohan's bed and tucked the quilt for Xiusun, and went to the dresser to give Shen's mother a hand.

"Mother," Ruan Shi hesitated to speak, "At noon today, the fifth sister-in-law took me to deliver food to my sister-in-law and nieces, and I saw an old man dressed as a servant turning out from behind the mourning hall. Me, I think it's strange. ”

Xiusun, who was "sleeping", quietly pricked up her ears.

The old lady sighed and said idly, "Daughter-in-law, what else have you found?" ”

Ruan's heart sank, and he leaned into the old lady's ear and said, "Then I smelled a strange smell in the mourning hall. ”

The old lady closed her eyes and said, "It must smell of lacquer." ”

"Lacquer!" Ruan Shi tilted his head slightly to recall, vaguely remembering that the coffin always looked wet, and suddenly felt a chill on his back penetrate his whole body, "They ...... What do they want to do? Ruan's hand shook, and the handkerchief he was holding almost fell to the ground.

The old lady took the handkerchief handed over by Ruan, held it in her hand, and said slowly, "Earlier, some families liked to talk about pomp and circumstance, and the coffin was kept for two or three months. ”

"Ahh Ruan couldn't help but cover his mouth and exclaim. She was born in a merchant, a farmer and a businessman, and she was at the bottom of the business, so it was impossible for her to talk about pomp and circumstance like the family of the princess, although she knew that the coffin had been put on hold for two or three months, but she didn't know how to spend this time.

Xiusun, who was eavesdropping with her ears pricked up, also understood that when she went to mourn in the morning, she smelled the smell of musk, because she was familiar with spices, and she didn't smell the other smells mixed in them.

And the old lady knew this way of sealing the corpse water from the coffin every day, so she understood it as soon as she saw the paint on the coffin that had not yet dried.

"Mother means that the eldest master did not die last night, but has been dead for a long time?" After clicking through this joint, Ruan immediately understood, and his heart was furious, "That'...... That...... How many days will it take to get to the point where the corpse is overflowing? ”

The old lady raised her eyes and looked at her daughter-in-law, and secretly appreciated in her heart, if this is an ordinary boudoir lady, Bao Buqi has been paralyzed to the ground with fright at this moment, Ruan Shi looks a little scared at the moment, but he is more shocked, and he can immediately think of the key issue of time.

"yes, at least more than ten days." The old lady closed her eyes and let Shen's mother massage her scalp and breathe soothingly.

There is no need for the old lady to mention it below, Ruan Shi himself straightened it out, "So, the long house came to a secret and did not mourn, and it took more than ten days to get an heir from Lanling, but now, the body can no longer be seen, so it is simply sealed the coffin?" ”

Xiusun nodded secretly, her mother just prefers to be simple and rude, and she is still smart.

The old lady also nodded, "Now it seems that this should be the case." ”

Ruan Shi was no longer afraid, but said suspiciously, "There are too many flaws, my mother asked my sister-in-law why she sealed the coffin this morning, and she also used the true Ming Dao chief as an excuse, it is better to directly say that the epidemic is more credible." "Anyway, spring is the peak period of the epidemic.

Who will tell people to play cards so unreasonably, unless they cheat money, just as the two families have changed Geng Ti to get Qin Tianjian, and the calculation must be the eight characters that match, and the eight characters that do not match are all excuses.

When the old lady heard this, a cold smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, "Brother Ren is my sister-in-law's only son, the court law, who died of the epidemic to cremate the body and then lay it on lime and bury it, where is she willing to do it." "The eldest master's name is Chu Ren.

Ruan Shi said a little mockingly, "Anyway, if you want to give benefits to Lanling's hometown, it is better to buy a child nearby to be Lanling, and then promise a lot of money to Lanling, and make up a few strokes on the family tree, and save the eldest lord from having to suffer those sins when he goes." ”

Nguyen's creed is that if you can solve a problem with money, you will never work yourself, and if you can solve a problem with violence, you will never beat around the bush.

The old lady glanced at Ruan Shi with some surprise, and thought carefully, although it was risky, there was also a feasible opportunity.

Ruan Shi did not think of such a trick, when there is enough wealth in front of him, people often can do anything, she has also heard that in order to keep the property in the family of the heir, the daughter-in-law and her husband climbed * ashes next to the coffin.

What is it to secretly pass on an heir without mourning, it is simply a simple and kind white lotus.

Xiusun breathed a sigh of relief, when she first saw Chu Xiuyi, she really suspected that he was bought from outside, so, from the perspective of time, the long house is still very sincere, and the child who got it is at least really surnamed Chu.

So why there is such a large amount of musk can be explained, in order to mask the smell of the corpse. Alas, I don't know how the old lady and the eldest lady live these days, Xiusun has some sympathy for their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and some admiration, bold, decisive, and endurance.
