Check the wooden box and find the source of the poison. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The source of the poison is not in a hurry to find it first, also because it is more difficult to find.
As for the wooden box, Jiang Dapeng and Jiang Sheng went back to the yamen to find the whole class of officials, and the two led the team to go to the store to inquire about the visit.
After Yin Seventeen asked Jiang Dapeng where Yao Jun's home was, she and Ye Ziluo went to Yezi Lane in Jiebei County together.
Yezi Lane is not big, and there are more than a dozen families living in the alley, all of whom are poor people who are not living a good life, and Yao Jun's family is one of them.
When he first heard it, Yin Seventeen was a little surprised.
Jiang Dapeng explained that in fact, according to the silver taels earned by Yao Jun, he could have moved out of Yezi Lane to live in a place with better conditions as soon as possible.
But Yao Jun always said that he was used to it, he grew up in Yezi Lane since he was a child, his mother died in Yezi Lane, his father was blind in Ye Zi Lane, and his only younger brother also grew up in Ye Zi Lane and was sensible.
In a word, Yao Jun is so in love with the old that he is reluctant to move even a broken house.
When I arrived at Yezi Lane, it was easy to find Yao Jun's house.
Looking out at a row of houses, the white ribbon fluttering at the door, and an old tree was lifeless next to the courtyard wall.
The red brick courtyard wall, painted with snow white on the outside, is a little mottled, but it is not very defeated.
Yin Qiqi felt that such a house was actually quite good, not much different from the house she lived in with Granny Tao in Hongsha County, and after entering Yao Jun's house, she felt that there was still a difference.
Yao Jun's yard is not big, half smaller than her house, and there are not many houses, except for the kitchen, there are only two rooms.
The main house is used as a hall, and the other room is used as a dormitory, and Yao Jun's father and younger brother are crowded together in this dormitory.
The door was opened by Yao Jun's only younger brother, named Yao Nuo.
When Yao Nuo saw Yin Seventeen and Ye Ziluo, when he opened the door, he thought that it was an official who came to inquire, but after opening the door, he saw that the two of them were dressed in regular clothes, not officials, and he was instantly at a loss.
Yin Qiqi explained: "We are outsiders from the Yamen of Xiexian County, and we were entrusted by Jiang Kuaizhi to come to the door to ask some things about Yao Jun. ā
Words and banquets, as friendly as you want, how friendly you are.
But Yao Nuo still shook off Yin Seventeen with a displeased face, and sneered:
"What's there to ask? Haven't you asked all the questions you should have asked? You've been asking over and over again, and you've not been able to find out a result! ā
After speaking, he was about to close the door and turn around, but was stopped by Ye Zi's eyes and eyes:
"You are Yao Jun's younger brother, don't you want your brother's case to be unjust?"
Perhaps it was Ye Ziluo's "injustice and snow" that stimulated Yao Nuo, and he suddenly opened the courtyard door, rushing out of the courtyard gate like an arrow and standing in front of Ye Ziluo:
"You're saying my brother really didn't commit suicide?"
Ye Ziluo nodded: "At least we have found some eyebrows, although it is not enough to conclude that your brother was killed, but the possibility of your brother committing suicide is indeed not high, and there are still many doubts." ā
I have to say that Ye Ziluo has a talent for calming people's hearts.
But in just a few words, Yao Nuo changed his previous bad attitude and invited the two of them into the door very politely.
Yin Seventeen looked at Ye Ziluo with satisfaction, but she looked at Ye Ziluo with a warm face, and she looked at her a little uncomfortable.
Entering the only hall in Yao Jun's house that could entertain guests, Yao Nuo first served two cups of tea to the two.
The tea was brewed with tea foam, and when it was served, Yao Nuo was very apologetic:
"It's no wonder that the two poor masters, since my brother's death, the tea at home has been gone, and I don't have the heart to buy ......"
Yin Seventeen said: "We are not officials, you and I are the same age, if Brother Yao doesn't mind, just call me seventeen, as for Ziluo, it's probably two or three years older than you, you can call 'Brother Ye'." ā
Yao Nuo immediately followed the kindness: "Okay, then Seventeen don't call Brother Yao anymore, just call me Arnold, everyone in the family calls me that, and Brother Ye is the same!" ā
Ye Ziluo nodded: "Okay." ā
After serving tea, Yao Nuo said that he would first bring the soup from the kitchen to the bedroom for his father to drink, and then answer the questions of Yin Seventeen and Ye Ziluo.
Hearing the decoction, Yin Seventeen couldn't help but ask more, only to know that since Yao Jun's death, Yao Jun's father had fallen ill.
Yao Nuo only returned in a moment.
His father said that he would let Yao Nuo go back to the hall to entertain the guests, and when the decoction was cold, he would drink it himself.
The three of them sat down at the table in the hall, Yao Nuo was anxious about the progress of Yao Jun's case, and without waiting for Yin Seventeen and Ye Ziluo to ask, he said first:
"My brother would never think of suicide, and there's nothing he can't think of! I talked to Jiang Kuaishou and Jiang Kuaishou many times before, but they just didn't listen, and always said that the facts were clear, and my brother must have committed suicide! ā
So back and forth, Yao Nuo had an extremely bad impression of Jiang Dapeng and Jiang Sheng, and even the official who came to the door to ask about something didn't get any good looks from him.
Although I had to cooperate with the interrogation, it was still okay to throw a cold face.
It's like the moment when Yin Seventeen and the leaves fell to open the door, and his face was cold with cold words.
Yin Qiqi asked Yao Nuo to calm down first, and explained why he thought Yao Jun would not commit suicide without thinking about it.
Yao Nuo slowly calmed down, trying to calm down his beating heart.
Recalling Yao Jun again, Yao Nuo still couldn't stop tears from overflowing his eyes:
"Mingming is fine in the day, and let me and my father go to listen to my brother sing at night, my brother also said that it was a new song composed by Brother Xiao, and my brother sang for the first time that night, so why should I let my father and my father go to the stage......"
That night, Yao Nuo and his father really went.
Although Yao Jun's father is blind, his ears are not blind, but he is becoming more and more sensitive, and he can often hear where Yao Jun is not singing well enough, so Yao Jun also likes to put together a new tune, so he will let his father listen to it first, and then according to his father's opinion, he repeatedly practice and modify those places where he is not singing well enough.
Even Xiaoyaozi likes to run to Yao Jun's house when he has nothing to do, and often brings new songs or plays to Yao Jun's father to talk and sing.
Yao Nuo said: "Brother Xiao's voice is also very good, my brother often says that if Brother Xiao is willing to sing on stage, then there will be no place for my brother in the Wuzi Opera Troupe......"
Of course, this is a bit excessive.
Even if Xiaoyaozi sang on stage and robbed Yao Jun of the scenery to become the first actor on Wuzi Lake, Yao Jun only fell from first to second.
Yao Jun sang so well that he couldn't even find anything wrong with his father's ears, so he clapped his hands again and again.
is different from other people's prejudice against Liyuan opera, Yao Jun's father does not feel ashamed of Yao Jun as a play, but feels supreme pride.
Yao Jun's father always said that Yao Jun did not steal or rob, he made money seriously by his own ability, fed his illness, and raised Yao Nuo's younger brother, which is nothing to be ashamed of, relying on his throat to eat, that is also a kind of ability!
Yin Seventeen praised: "Uncle Yao is very right! What kind of work is not work, what ability is not ability, as long as it can support people, and it depends on its own skills, what is there to be ashamed of? Isn't there a saying, "If you are the champion, your brother is the champion in the pear orchard!" ā
Your brother is the champion of the pear orchard!
This is probably the highest and best comment Yao Nuo has ever heard about his brother Yao Jun in his life.
His eyes, which he had managed to wipe dry, were wet again.
Ye Ziluo took out his own blue handkerchief and handed it to Yao Nuo:
"Wipe it!"
Yao Nuo took the blue pass, but his hands were like holding something precious, and he carefully did not take it to wipe his tears.
Lan Pa only felt the hand, and told Yao Nuo that this handkerchief was very valuable.
He thought, since it's so valuable, he can't get dirty.
So he only held it in his hand, and his ten fingers were tightly clenched, but he didn't wipe the tears on his face.
Yao Nuo wiped his eyes twice with the back of his hand, and then continued down.
After Yao Jun sang Xiaoyaozi's new song, he really won a full house.
The large and small, colorful flower boats on Wuzi Lake surround the pear blossom boat, and the idlers in the flower boat, whether it is the old lady or the young master, all send money to the pear blossom boat.
This bounty is varied.
Some are real gold and silver taels, some are carved gold and silver precious jewelry, and some are some gadgets made by each person's own hands, including handkerchiefs, sachets, jade pendants, and even embroidered shoes have been held.
At that time, Yao Nuo and his father had been sent by Fang Yongnian to take them to the pear blossom boat, and they stood in the background and watched the front desk send up plate by plate, and the things they sent made the two of them laugh.
Yao Nuo said: "My father couldn't see it, so I said the same thing to my father, and my father kept laughing, and when he heard the praise of his brother from all directions on Wuzi Lake, the smile on his face deepened and never disappeared." ā
After the end, Wuzi Lake will finally return to calm.
Yao Jun and Xiaoyaozi came to Fang Yongnian's room to settle Yao Nuo and Yao Jun's father, that is, Yao Jun's room on the ship.
All four were happy then.
Because the music composed by Xiaoyaozi is very popular, Yao Jun sang it and won a big victory, Yao Nuo and Yao Jun's father were honored, and their hearts were even more happy.
During this period, Fang Yongnian asked people to send snacks.
It was said that it was night, and everyone was hungry, so they asked the cook on the pear blossom boat to cook two large pots of minced meat porridge, and then accompanied by special flavorful side dishes, which was very appetizing.
For this supper, all four of them had a hearty meal.
When they were too full, the four of them got up and walked, thinking about eating and drinking.
Yao Jun and Xiaoyaozi helped Yao Jun's father out of the room, walked around the bow of the boat and blew the wind, so that they could eat and rest quickly.
Yao Nuo was too lazy to move around, so he simply swam around Yao Jun's room.
It is said to be swimming, but in fact, it is just a space that can be completed in one circle, and it is really impossible to expand it in a big way.
Just as he was bored and thinking about whether to leave the room and go to the bow of the boat to blow the wind, Yao Nuo found a bottle under the pillow on Yao Jun's bed.
Yao Nuo said: "At that time, I was also too full, my eyelids were somehow about to close, my habit of wanting to sleep when I was full, I didn't let my brother say on weekdays, that night was the same, I took advantage of my brother didn't come back, so I lay down on my brother's bed, as soon as I lay down, I didn't fall asleep immediately, thinking about whether to go to the bow of the boat, I also tossed and turned on the bed, and between the movements, I touched a bottle, which was under my brother's pillow......"
Less than three inches, white porcelain vase, painted with black plum blossoms.
Yin Seventeen was shocked: "It's Heding Red!" ā
When Ye Ziluo said this, he also felt palpitations in his heart for the moment when Yao Nuo was able to stop Yao Jun from taking poison, and said that if Yao Nuo could detect some abnormalities at that time, then Yao Jun might not have succeeded in taking Hedinghong.
Later, when Yao Nuo saw the bottle used to hold the crane top red in the yamen, he was also stunned.
I was stunned for a while, and my body stiffened.
Just like Ye Ziluo secretly thought in his heart, Yao Nuo also thought the same way - if he could find out that the bottle he accidentally touched was Heding Hong, or the poison that his brother then took, he would have to throw the bottle to the bottom of the lake, so wouldn't his brother suddenly take the poison and jump into the lake?
Because of this, Yao Nuo still can't turn the corner, and always feels that Yao Jun is a good brother, but he is not a good brother.
Yin Seventeen comforted: "It's not your fault either, no one expected this." ā
It's really feng shui in turn.
The day after Lin Ya's death, many people also persuaded her like this.
But she didn't hear much about it, she only felt that Lin Ya's death, she had to find out.
If Lin Ya really committed suicide, then in the end she begged for peace of mind.
If not, then she would have to find out the murderer of Lin Ya and bring him to justice!
Just like Yin Seventeen's reaction when he heard those comforting words, Yao Nuo didn't listen to these meaningless words much, and only muttered:
"No matter what, my brother won't kill himself! And Brother Xiao is the same! None of them would have committed suicide! ā
Sonorous and powerful, the words are firm.
It was as if Yao Nuo had seen the murder of Yao Jun and Xiaoyaozi with his own eyes.
But Yin Seventeen knew that it was not, and there should be other reasons.
Yao Nuo said: "Yes, I would be so adamant that it was because of another thing!" ā
That happened a year ago, around this time, and there were also a few days before the Flower Moon Festival.
One night, Yao Jun, who was in high spirits and asked someone to go fishing, suddenly came back in the middle of the night.
Since Yao Jun joined the Wuzi Opera Troupe, it is rare to rush home overnight, unless something happens at home and Yao Nuo goes to find him, he will suddenly return to his home in Yezi Lane.
Fishing?
When Yin Seventeen and Ye Ziluo heard these two words, they couldn't help but glance at each other.
Ye Ziluo asked: "Not long after that night, did your brother go to customize a very long wooden box?" ā
Yao Nuo was still immersed in the past, accompanied by the beauty of memories, and with the sadness of things and people, when he suddenly heard Ye Ziluo ask, he was stunned, and blurted out a rhetorical question:
"How does Brother Ye know?"
Sure enough!
Ye Ziluo didn't answer Yao Nuo's question, because Yin Seventeen had already asked Yao Nuo in a hurry:
"What day last year did your brother go to customize the wooden box, do you remember?"
Yao Nuo was a little dazed, but in the past few breaths, he also came back a little, and said that it must be related to his brother's death.
At that moment, he thought about it carefully, and then ran to the dormitory to confirm with Yao Jun's father.
As soon as he came back and stepped into the threshold of the hall, Yao Nuo said:
"August 11! Last year's day was August 11! (To be continued.) )
