Chapter 82: Propriety and Righteousness
First Ye Qisheng saved Zhu Song and Miao's widow sister and brother, and then Zhu Song saved Ye Qisheng, but he was lame in his right leg, which is indeed a favor and a favor. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen didn't say anything else, and directly asked Miao Hui about some things about Miao's widow.
What Miao Hui said at first were all things that Hua Zilai had found out, and this Zhan Yan and Yin Seventeen had already learned from Hua Zilai's mouth, so Yin Seventeen asked Miao Hui to say something else more special.
Miao Hui was a little confused: "What is a special thing?" ”
Before Yin Seventeen could answer, Miao Xiangle had already tried to say:
"Is there something like why Zhu Song is lame in his right leg?"
Yin Seventeen nodded and said, "That's what Master Miao said." ”
Zhan Yan looked at Yin Seventeen, and the third mural in the sacrificial hall of the Ye clan ancestral hall gradually appeared in his mind.
Vaguely, he also felt that there must be something related to this.
But what?
He flashed so many clues and fragments in his mind at the moment, but he still couldn't figure out a clue that led the whole line.
Miao Hui thought about it for a while, but still couldn't think of anything more special.
She shook her head and looked at Yin Seventeen and Zhan Yan in frustration.
When she first heard that Widow Miao was killed, Miao Hui cried and swollen her eyes like Zhu Zimei, hating the murderer who killed Widow Miao.
At this moment, she finally had the opportunity to help Widow Miao provide clues so that she could find the murderer as soon as possible, but she couldn't think of anything.
Miao Hui choked up in frustration: "I'm really useless! Nothing can help Xiaolan......"
Miao Xiang was happy to see Miao Hui so sad, and couldn't help but comfort him softly.
Although Yin Seventeen was a little disappointed, Miao Hui was so sad that he couldn't help but comfort him:
"Widow Miao received many times of help from Master Miao and sister-in-law during her lifetime, and I heard that Widow Miao's embroidery work is still a bridge for the sister-in-law, how could she not help? Sister-in-law Mo Duo thought about it! ”
Zhan Yan heard Yin Seventeen say this, but he thought of embroidery, and then said:
"Sister-in-law, don't be discouraged, most of the embroidery work of Widow Miao was sold to the Tianjing Embroidery Village in the county, in addition to the Tianjing Embroidery Village, is there a place next to it?"
Miao Hui wiped her tears and said: "Tianjing Embroidery Village is the largest and most famous embroidery village in the county, Xiaolan's embroidery embroidery is sold there, no matter how big or small, Xiaolan in order to live a better life with Xiaosong, she often takes on some fragmentary work, otherwise, the embroidery work received by Tianjing Embroidery Village is enough for Xiaolan embroidery!" ”
After listening to it for a long time, he didn't hear the answer to the question that Zhan Yan asked at the end, so Yin Seventeen had to ask again:
"What are the odd jobs that the Miao widow receives? Where do you come from? ”
Miao Hui also realized his digression, and glanced at Zhan Yan apologetically, but he was not at all embarrassed by this cold-hearted county government catcher, mainly because he heard Miao Xiangle talk about many talented people and strange things in the county on weekdays.
Zhanyan belongs to the part of capable people.
Miao Hui thought for a while and said: "I just heard her mention a lot of the scrap work that Xiaolan received, and I didn't ask which places or families it was, but there is one place that I am quite impressed!" ”
The place Miao Hui said is the mansion of Mr. Huang, a famous merchant in the county.
Mr. Huang's ancestors have been in business for generations, and he is a well-known rich family in Hongsha County, and has been the richest man in Hongsha County for more than 100 years.
Mrs. Huang couldn't find the embroidery she liked to make a fan when she went to Tianjing Embroidery Village, and the boss of Tianjing Embroidery Village suddenly thought of the Miao widow who always had unexpected patterns, so she asked Mrs. Huang to wait for two more days.
After Mrs. Huang left, the owner of Tianjing Embroidery Village immediately went to Bianye Village to find Widow Miao, and wanted Widow Miao to draw a few patterns suitable for making fan noodles.
After listening to the intention of the boss of Tianjing Embroidery Village, Widow Miao responded.
Miao Hui said: "But at that time, Mrs. Huang had a request, saying that Mrs. Huang often met another lady who didn't know the rules, secretly liked to talk about wrongdoing, and liked to ridicule and ridicule on the surface......"
What Mrs. Huang meant was that she wanted to take advantage of the fact that summer was coming, and when she met the lady who disgusted her, she could use the fan to knock and knock on that lady's extraordinary evil.
At that time, Widow Miao also said to the owner of Tianjing Embroidery Village, where do you need to make a fan? Let Madame Huang ignore the annoying lady.
The owner of Tianjing Embroidery Village also said that he and Mrs. Huang had made a slight proposal.
But Mrs. Huang said no, because the lady who disgusted her was the largest merchant that the Huang family often came to, she couldn't cut off the contact, let alone offend it openly, so she could only metaphorize it.
Although the Miao widow did not understand the rules and regulations of the rich and noble, she still understood, and immediately she made an appointment with the owner of the Tianjing Embroidery Village, and two days later she took the painted patterns to the county Tianjing Embroidery Village.
Two days later, Widow Miao really brought her tricks to Tianjing Embroidery Village on time.
The boss and Mrs. Huang were both there, and they had obviously waited for Widow Miao for a while.
Widow Miao was slightly frightened by such a battle, thinking that this Mrs. Huang was really concerned about this trick, and she must not mess it up.
If she messes up this embroidery job, I don't know if it will affect the embroidery she will send here to sell in the future?
With such a feeling of anxiety, Widow Miao handed over the only pattern she had drawn.
The boss of Tianjing Embroidery Village and Mrs. Huang were very surprised, Widow Miao only prepared such a fan pattern!
But in the end, it turned out that the fan pattern painted by Widow Miao was very popular with Mrs. Huang, so she made a decision on the spot and designated Widow Miao to embroider her fan with her own hands.
Yin Seventeen asked, "What does the fan pattern painted by Widow Miao look like?" ”
Miao Hui responded: "It's very simple, it's just the word 'li'!" ”
Yin Qiqi asked again: "When did Widow Miao embroider the fan of the word 'li' for Mrs. Huang?" ”
Miao Hui calculated: "It was about a month before Xiaolan was killed. ”
Another month?
Zhu Song drowned in Liuhe, about a month after he became lame.
Miao's widow was killed and her right arm was cut off, about a month after the embroidery of the ritual fan.
Yin Qiqi casually asked Miao Hui and Miao Xian about the sisters, only to find that not only did the two sisters have a deep relationship, but also Miao Tie and Miao Xiangle got along quite well.
First, because they are similar in age, they are all in their twenties.
The second is that Miao Tie has a gentle temperament, Miao Xiangle has a calm temperament, and both of them are men with their own abilities and responsibilities, which can be talked about.
When Miao Hui's house came out, it was already two o'clock.
Walking in the alley of the Miao widow's house, it was silent and dark, and Zhan Yan carried the lantern that he brought back from the Miao widow's house when he came, and walked side by side with Yin Seventeen.
Zhan Yan said: "What did you find after listening?" ”
Yin Seventeen lowered his head, boredly kicked the occasional gravel in the alley, heard Zhanyan's words and whispered, and then continued to kick and step as he walked.
She's thinking about things, and she's sorting things out.
Zhan Yan glanced at Yin Seventeen twice, and then stopped making a sound.
Back at Widow Miao's house, Yin Seventeen went into the kitchen to boil water, intending to boil two large pots so that both of them could wash up.
As she threw firewood into the stove, she looked at the clusters of flames in the stove in a daze.
Zhan Yan walked in and squatted down next to the low stool where Yin Seventeen was sitting.
Yin Seventeen raised his eyes, pointed to the corner of the kitchen and said:
"There's a stool over there."
Zhan Yan got up and dragged it over, sat next to Yin Seventeen, and helped occasionally throw firewood.
The water in the big iron pot suddenly and slowly rolled up, and the two sat quietly listening to the sound of the water tumbling.
Yin Seventeen stared at the flames in the stove and suddenly said:
"Brother Zhan, you say...... If Zhu Song's body can be found, will it ...... What about missing a right leg? ”
This is a hypothetical question, and it is also difficult to prove.
Zhan Yan didn't answer and asked: "Did you think of something?" ”
Yin Seventeen nodded, she did think of something:
"The sacrifice on the third mural in the ancestral hall of the Ye family, I wonder if it has something to do with the left and right arms of Widow Miao and Tie Shi Niang who were cut off after they were killed? Ye Lao also said, the wood master is benevolent, the fire is the main ceremony, the earth master is faithful, the gold doctrine, and the water master is wise......"
She looked at Zhan Yan: "Zhu Song was lame in his right leg because he saved Ye Qisheng, this is a kindness that Zhu Song wants to return to Ye Qisheng, that is, the 'righteousness' in the five virtues, and Miao Widow Miao Hui said, the reason why she was cut off by the murderer is because she has a clever right hand?" She embroidered the word 'li' with her own hands, so is it the word 'li' in the five virtues that the murderer is looking for? ”
Although she asked him with question marks every word, Zhan Yan had actually heard the certainty in Yin Seventeen's tone.
Zhan Yan said: "I came back all the way, and I was also thinking about what this series of murders has to do with the Five Elements Virtue Sacrifice that Ye Lao said, as you said, whether Zhu Song's right lame leg represents the 'righteousness' in the five virtues, and now unless we find this lame leg somewhere, or we touch his mutilated body in the Liuhe, otherwise this statement can only be confirmed after the murderer is caught, and whether the right arm of Widow Miao represents the 'ceremony' in the five virtues is the same reason." ”
Yin Seventeen disagreed: "No, Brother Zhan, if we want to touch Zhu Song's body in the willow river after two years, it is very slim at all, and we can confirm the result we speculated from another angle." ”
Zhan Yan said: "Which angle?" ”
Yin Seventeen said: "Did Brother Zhan forget?" In addition to Zhu Song, who has been dead for two years, Miao Da, who has been dead for a year and a half, and Miao Widow, who has just been killed, there is Tie Shi Niang, who was killed and had her left arm cut off after being killed! ”
As long as it is confirmed that Tie Shi Niang's severed left arm also meets any of the five elements and five virtues, then it also indirectly confirms the speculation of the two about the death of Miao Widow and Zhu Song.
After boiling the hot water in a big iron pot first, Yin Seventeen asked Zhan Yan to bathe and clean herself first, but Zhan Yan asked her to go first, saying that he would boil the rest of the hot water.
It is estimated that he has boiled hot water, and she should have washed it too, and then he will wash it when the time comes.
What a surprise!
That Lai Pi took up most of her bed, and asked her to bring him foot washing water, and Zhan Da Catcher actually said to let her wash it first?
Yin Seventeen walked out of the kitchen with a slightly flattered and fluttering footsteps.
When she walked outside the kitchen, she realized that she had forgotten to bring out the hot water from the big iron pot!
As soon as she turned around and wanted to go back to the kitchen, Zhan Yan was already expressionless and stood at the kitchen entrance with a large iron pot of hot water, facing her.
One person is just outside the kitchen threshold, one person is inside the kitchen threshold, and two people are standing on the ground with you and me.
Of course, Yin Seventeen's eyes when he looked at Zhan Yan, the smile made a flower bloom, and Zhan Yan's eyes when he looked at Yin Seventeen were so simple that they could be condensed into one word - stupid!
Yin Seventeen's smile was a little stiff, and then he heard Zhan Da Catcher spit out two words very magnificently:
"Get out of the way!"
She turned sideways, feeling that it was not enough, so she turned sideways again, and finally stuck to the kitchen wall completely, watching Zhanyan bring her steaming bath water into the clean room in the yard.
The big wooden barrel that was washed in the clean room had already been placed, and Zhan Yan poured the whole pot of hot water and walked back to the kitchen, and when he saw that Yin Seventeen was still sticking to the wall, he squinted at her and said:
"Why don't you go wash up? Want to wait for the hot water to cool before washing? ”
Yin Seventeen pulled the corners of his mouth that was a little stiff, and gritted his teeth word by word:
"Horse, go, go, wash!"
She knew he wasn't that kind!
Even if he is so kind, he will definitely not hurt her, and he will not be comfortable!
Yin Seventeen went to the well in the yard to get two wooden buckets of cold water and put them into the clean room, put one of them into the hot water, and after testing the water temperature and feeling that it was still a little hot, he picked up a whole wooden barrel again, and then tested the water temperature, and felt that it was almost the same.
After taking a bath comfortably, Zhanyan was already waiting in the yard.
Such a big Buddha waited in the courtyard outside the clean room, and Yin Seventeen actually didn't dare to wash it for a long time, only a quarter of an hour.
After leaving the clean room, she secretly glanced at Zhan Yan's face.
But because it was dark, Zhan Da Hunting had no rich expression, so she couldn't aim at what he meant.
Yin Seventeen cleared his throat and said, "Brother Zhan, you can wash it!" ”
Zhan Yan hummed softly, and went into the kitchen to bring a large pot of hot water.
When Zhan Yan went to bathe, Yin Seventeen sat on the threshold of Widow Miao's maiden house and thought about the case.
When Zhan Yan came out after washing, he saw Yin Seventeen holding his chin with both hands and staring at the night sky, looking quite stunned, he approached her:
"It's almost the beginning of the day, let's rush back to Bianluo Village first."
After his reminder like this, she also remembered that she would have to go to the place where Tie Shi Niang and Ye Hai died tonight to drip blood and watch the dead words.
Yin Seventeen quickly stood up.
Zhan Yan pointed to Yin Seventeen's hair again: "Why is this hair still so messy?" ”
Hearing this, Yin Seventeen raised his hand and touched his long hair, and as soon as he touched it, he hurriedly ran to the room where the Miao widow lived temporarily before she got married.
After washing, just thinking about the case and sorting out the clues, she forgot that she still had long soaked hair!
Zhan Yan looked at the figure of Yin Seventeen hurriedly running into the room, and couldn't help but shake his head lightly, and he also entered the other room where Zhu Song lived before his death.
He also had to comb his long, freshly washed hair.
After a while, the two walked out of the room of the Miao widow sister and brother at the same time, quickly left the Miao widow's mother's house, and walked out of Bianye Village with a lantern.
