Chapter 122: I came to ask for death
"I don't know if I press the stage, the lower officials don't have to watch this Xu girl dance, but there is another reason."
This sentence seemed to surprise everyone present, and they all looked at Cen Qifeng, and Gao Pragmatic also seemed to be surprised, and said in surprise: "What is the reason?" ”
Cen Qifeng sighed, looking worried, and said: "Zhen'an and Sicheng live next to each other, there have always been few disputes, how old is Shaoxun, the lower official idiot, he has always regarded him as his own brother, if there is no reason, how can he ask his concubine to dance to everyone?" In fact, when the lower officials were in Zhen'an, they heard several times that this Shaoxun's concubine Xu did not abide by women's morals, committed adultery with others, and poisoned Shaoxun...... It is rumored that Shaoxun's illness is not because of any miasma, but because he was poisoned. ”
As soon as these words came out, the hall was in an uproar.
"Is that so?"
"How did Brother Qifeng know about this?"
"Lao Tzu said that Shao Xun is so dignified, how could he suddenly hit some miasma. That old mother, our Cen family has lived here for hundreds of years, how can there be a reason for miasma! ”
"Hold that black, it's really bad for my appetite, hurry up, pull this ** out and cut it!"
"What is it, cheating and adultery should be immersed in the pig cage!"
"Yes, yes, dip the pig cage, dip the pig cage, I'm fucking confused!"
Every time the Tusi of Guixi shouted, the faces of the Tumu of Sicheng Prefecture darkened a point, and even Cen Ling's face was very bad.
Gao Pragmatic suddenly turned his head and asked Cen Ling: "Judge Cen, Brother Ling is not here today, and I can only ask you this - have you heard of this?" ”
Cen Qigongzi's face was also very bad, and his tone was a little stiff: "If someone says that someone is against his sister-in-law...... If the Xu family has an attempt, the lower official believes it, but if it is said that the Xu family poisoned his brother, the lower official does not believe it. ”
Gao Shishi's face was as usual, and he asked calmly: "Is there a reason why Judge Cen said this?" ”
Cen Qigongzi said: "Yes, in the past, when the Xu family had not yet married into the Cen family, she was a well-known beauty, and in Guixi, people who admired her could go to Tianzhou from Sicheng, so the lower official said that someone had an attempt on her, and the reason why the lower official would believe it." ”
Gao pragmatic nodded, and asked again: "Then, why does Judge Cen firmly believe that she will not poison Brother Ling?" ”
Cen Qigongzi took a deep breath and said: "Because although she grew up in a servant's house, she is actually a Hua Miao person, Hua Miao is a branch of the Miao people, and the number of her clan is quite small, and the head and the daughter of the leader will raise Gu from a young age, called Life and Death Gu." This Gu is not refined by harming people, but by the woman on the night of her wedding, she planted it to her husband, and from then on, the two will live and die together. ”
Gao Pragmatic hadn't figured out this kind of thing until now, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this, and asked: "This Gu sounds extremely affectionate, but if it really lives and dies together...... If the woman dies first, won't she hurt her husband? If her husband dies first, won't she hurt herself again? It is difficult to understand the usefulness of this Gu. ”
Cen Qigongzi shook his head and said: "According to Tai Mo, if you think that Miao women often have Gu magicians, you think that Miao women have a higher status in the clan, but in fact, Miao people are even more inferior to women than other races, and this life and death Gu is actually the embodiment of this difference between dignity and inferiority."
If Miao Nu dies first, her husband will not be harmed, the Gu worm in his body will die within three months, and then this person will be no different from ordinary. On the contrary, if her husband dies first, the Gu worms in Miao Nu's body will fall into madness, and Miao Nu herself will run out of oil and die within three days. ”
Cen Qigongzi sighed, his face was a little gloomy: "Life and death Gu, life and death Gu, it's just that Miao Nu is willing to die with her husband." Once this life and death Gu is planted, Miao Nu will be tied to this person for the rest of her life. It was the following official who said that she would definitely not poison and frame her brother. ”
Gao Shishi couldn't understand Gu's question, so he let it go first, but asked: "Even if there is no possibility of poisoning and assassination, then what about cheating and adultery?" ”
Cen Qigongzi shook his head and said: "Hua Miao people don't intermarry with other clans, but she is willing to marry her brother, which shows that the two of them have a deep relationship, in fact...... My brother's main room died early, and my brother had already planned to straighten Xu's family, but Xu said that his wife died of excessive bleeding during childbirth, and now that Yun Han is here, how can she usurp her position and become the main room, so she rejected her brother's kindness. Let's ask, how could such a woman who doesn't want to be rich or famous, do such an unbearable thing? ”
Gao Shishi listened, and couldn't help but feel that what he said was reasonable, and after thinking about it, he looked at Cen Qifeng and asked, "Cen Taishou, what do you think about what Judge Cen said?" ”
Cen Qifeng smiled and said, "I can't talk about high theory, but if you want to talk about speculation, there is a point." ”
Gao pragmatic nodded: "Cen Taishou, please speak." ”
"Xia Guan thinks that maybe it is because of the deep relationship between Xu and Shaoxun that he will commit adultery with others." Cen Qifeng didn't care that her words once again aroused an uproar in the hall, and said lightly: "Perhaps, if she doesn't do this, Shaoxun will not be seriously ill now, but dead." ”
Gao Shishi's heart moved, but Cen Ling's face changed greatly, Huo Ran stood up and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Cen Qifeng stretched out his hand towards him and made a gesture of pressing down, signaling him to be calm and not impatient, and said in his mouth: "Cen Ling, don't worry, you think about it...... Why is Shaoxun sick for several years, but he is just sick, no matter how sick he is, even if he can't see people for several years, he just doesn't die? ”
This sounded a little disrespectful, but everyone could hear that he was just talking about things and had no other meaning, so Cen Ling's face just changed continuously, and finally his face turned blue and looked towards Huang Ma.
Huang Ma's face was also extremely ugly, and when she saw Cen Ling looking at her, she looked at her coldly, and said in a cold voice: "What does the seventh prince mean by looking at the lower officials like this?" ”
Cen Ling said sharply: "What did you do? ”
Huang Ma didn't expect him to tear his face, and there was a murderous look in his eyes, and he said fiercely: "What did I do?" You tell me? ”
Everyone was in an uproar again, and they couldn't imagine that they could listen to such a story after a meal.
Gao Pragmatic suddenly said: "Huang Shoubei, where is that Xu now?" Ben had something to ask her. ”
Huang Ma was already about to tear his face, he knew that this kind of thing had happened, and it was impossible for Gao Pragmatic to help him, so he smiled coldly and said sarcastically: "Press the stage, this is Lingyun City, here, who you want to see is not up to you, but to me Huang Someone." ”
Gao Shishi's eyes narrowed slightly, and before he could speak, he suddenly heard a female voice from the back hall: "Call each other according to the stage, how dare the slut not come." ”
When everyone heard this, they looked in the direction of the back hall with wide eyes at the same time, and Gao Pragmatic also turned his head to look at it in surprise.
I saw a young woman who had just passed her twentieth year turned out of the back hall, not wearing the clothes of a Miao girl, but an ordinary Han dress, but her eyebrows were like distant mountains and light daisies, her eyes were like autumn water, her nose and lips were red, and her willow waist was held.
If you want to talk about the difference between these two women, in addition to the difference in age by a few years, it is probably temperament.
Huang Zhiting was born coquettish, but because she is in charge of the government, her words and deeds are actually quite decisive, that is, she will show some little daughters when she is pragmatic.
And this Xu Shi, but because of the thick sorrow that can't be dissolved, it looks even more pitiful, but she is actually married to a wife, and there is a mature charm between her demeanor, which is very different from Huang Zhiting's girlish style.
She walked in front of Gao Pragmatic, and instead of only blessing Gao Pragmatic like the official eunuchs, she knelt down on her knees, bowed her head and said: "The slut Xu, because of adultery with Huang Ma, violates women's morals, and her sin is unforgivable." Today, I heard that the Guangxi Patrol was personally there by the Imperial Shi Gaogong, and he came to ask for death. ”
