261 Ulterior secrets
That's a little scary. Trade your life for a house? In exchange for what?
My life is gone, do you want to come to be a mansion?
Wen Niang took a deep breath: "Adults should have heard about it." The reason why the lord married a slave and maid was because of Chongxi. And why is the object of Chongxi a slave, but there is an ulterior secret hidden in it! ”
"I've heard of it." Jun Qinglan nodded: "Because you have a special character, you were born in the lunar year, the lunar month, and the cloudy day, and you can pass through ghosts and gods." Therefore, use your life to sacrifice, you can buy the ghosts and gods and renew the life of Huang Lao. ”
"Not really." Wen Niang shook her head slowly: "The slave's birthday is the yang year, the moon, the sun, the sun, the girl, the boy, and the yang energy. Therefore, if you use the slave to rejoice, you can transfer the yang energy of the slave to the master. In this way, he can heal without medicine and regain his health. ”
"It's nonsense!"
Jun Qinglan frowned tightly.
Although Wen Niang's birthday is indeed strange, it is not unique, and in the final analysis, she is just an ordinary person. Whether it is yin or yang, the saying that picking yin to supplement yang and changing life for life is simply nonsense.
"I told my lord about this method after I heard about it from a stranger at the beginning of the month. At first, the old man refused to believe it, but her repeated persuasion and the worsening of the old man's condition finally made him decide to give it a try. ”
Wen Niang's voice paused, and then she continued: "The old man has always been kind, and marrying me has violated his long-standing principles. In order to make him feel better, he said that he would give the slave and maid a big gift, so that the slave and maid could marry him in a beautiful manner. The slave didn't take this to heart at first, until ...... He handed over the title deed of the house to the slave maid, and the slave maid knew that the master was not talking casually. ”
Jun Qinglan squinted, the title deed of the new house was actually a dowry gift from Huang Yuan to Wen Niang? According to Wenniang's background and age, it is naturally not worth letting Huang Yuan make such a big effort. There should be only one reason why he did this, and that is that marrying him is a very dangerous thing, so dangerous that he could lose his life at any time.
This house is the money for Wen Niang!
"Please take out the title deed, I need to take a look."
"Okay."
Seeing that Wen Niang turned around and left, Jun Qinglan's brows became more and more tight, and her eyes became solemn.
"Your request is a bit excessive." Li Congyao opened his mouth without warning.
Jun Qinglan's expression was serious: "It's a bit excessive, so I didn't think about it...... She was able to say yes. ”
What is the importance of the title deed, and where can it be seen casually? In normal times, Jun Qinglan, as the general banner of Jinyiwei, could naturally order Wenniang to hand over the title deed. However, she is now incognito, and even carries the suspicion of Huang Yuan's death, rashly asking people to take out the title deed to take a look, which is like child's play.
Jun Qinglan just said it casually at the time, and she didn't expect that Wen Niang would be able to agree.
The woman......
There was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and the tattoo girl turned very fast. When he came, he held a black lacquered wooden box in his hand and handed it to Jun Qinglan.
"The slave has put it in this box since the day she got the title deed, so you can take it."
Jun Qinglan saw that she was open, so she was not polite, and took the wooden box and opened it. The title deed of the mansion was really contained in it, Jun Qinglan unfolded it and handed it to Li Congyao after just a glance.
The man's eyes are as light as water from the title deed
swept up, and looked at Jun Qinglan, and the eyes of the two were solemn and horrified. The black handwriting on the title deed concealed under the fire seal of the Vermilion Mansion clearly stated that the purchase price of this house was 800 taels of silver.
Eight hundred taels!
In Northern Xia, five taels of silver was enough for a large family to eat for half a year. Like Rong Xi, who has been on duty in the palace for many years, the monthly silver is only one or two or five yuan. If you change to a tattoo girl, I'm afraid that I don't even have a calendar of two dollars of silver a month.
A full eight hundred taels of silver, even if she is asked to work day and night for a lifetime, I am afraid that she has never even seen it.
Although Huang Yuan served in the county guard's mansion, it was not enough to see a small number of people. His money was spent on the beginning of the month, where could he get 800 taels to buy a house?
"Where did Huang Lao buy this house from?"
Jun Qinglan folded the title deed, put it back in the wooden box and handed it to Wen Niang.
"This lord really mentioned it to the slave maid, saying that it was the relationship that the county keeper found for him, and the county keeper personally made a notary when he bought the house. The formalities are complete, and the money and goods are both in order, and there are no problems. ”
It's actually the house that Huang Zhong found? In other words, this house was obtained by fair trade on the bright road, and there was no greasy in the process of buying and selling.
"How many years have you been serving in the Yellow Mansion?"
"The slave and maid have not calculated carefully, but they must always have ...... It's been more than ten or twenty years. ”
Jun Qinglan nodded slowly: "Such a long time is enough for you to have a good understanding of a person's preferences and habits." Do you think Huang Lao is a person who can buy this house for eight hundred taels of silver? ”
"It's not."
Wen Niang replied very quickly, without the slightest hesitation. Jun Qinglan squinted, somewhat surprised. Her question was quite sensitive, and she thought that the tattoo girl would always have to think about it for a while and weigh it carefully before answering her question. But the truth is, no.
"This silver was lent to him at the beginning of the month."
Jun Qinglan raised her eyebrows: "Have you seen it with your own eyes?" ”
"Not really." Wen Niang shook her head: "But, except for the beginning of the month, I don't think anyone else can hand over such a large sum of money to the master." ”
"So that's your guess." Jun Qinglan stared at Wen Niang, for a moment: "Speculation can't be true, and you can't talk nonsense without real evidence." ”
"Slaves and maids will die after all." Wen Niang's voice gradually deepened: "Marriage is just a disguise. Maybe it's two months after getting married, maybe it's a month, maybe the slave and maid will return to the west that day. At that time, won't the title deed have to be returned to the master? With the master's affection for the beginning of the month, this house will be hers sooner or later. Therefore, this is nothing more than a back road laid for herself at the beginning of the month, and she did not spend the money on others. ”
Wen Niang's expression was calm, and when she spoke, she spoke at an even speed, as if she was telling the story of others.
Jun Qinglan looked at her for a long time, then opened her eyes: "You seem to be hostile to the beginning of the month. Ever since you mentioned her, you've been telling her about her unbearability. When I met at the beginning of the month the other day, she didn't say a word about you. ”
"That's weird." Wen Niang looked at Jun Qinglan and frowned fiercely: "I don't like her in the first place, why do I have to pretend to be in harmony with her?" Adults are investigating the case, so they naturally want to hear the truth. Is it wrong for the slave to tell you what she really thinks? ”
Jun Qinglan looked at Wen Niang for a long time, and saw that she mentioned the beginning of the month
In the end, it was hard to hide the disgust. Now, there is even more resentment.
"You're doing a great job." Jun Qinglan felt that in addition to this sentence, she didn't know what to say to Wen Niang.
"Actually, ......." Wen Niang pursed her lips, and there was a little struggle in her eyes. After a long time, he spoke again: "These eight hundred taels of silver should also have the credit of the master." ”
Jun Qinglan raised her eyes, what does this mean?
"At noon that day, I went to deliver medicine to my master. But she asked the moon to stop outside the house, and she said ...... at that time. ”
Wen Niang pondered for a moment: "She said, the master's God of Wealth is here, and told me not to enter the house and bump into the nobles." However, the old man's medication needs to be timed, and I didn't want to pay attention to her. But she said that the God of Wealth in the house has great magical powers. If anyone he did not want to see saw his face, he would be killed in an instant. I saw that what I said at the beginning of the month was exactly what I said, and I was desperately blocking the door, and it happened that the old man was shouting loudly in the house, as if he was arguing with someone. I wondered what secret he was talking about, and left. ”
"When the old man shouted, I vaguely heard him mention money. Soon after, at the beginning of the month, he gave eight hundred taels to the master. Therefore, the slave maid felt that the eight hundred taels must have something to do with the lord and the people in the house, and the beginning of the month was the middle between the two of them. ”
This made Jun Qinglan quite surprised. Huang Yuan's temperament is gentle and tight, and he will even quarrel with people over money? He died suddenly and inexplicably, could it have something to do with this money?
"Have you ever seen the faces of the people in the house?"
"Not really." Wen Niang shook her head firmly: "That person is mysteriously tight, and he has never met with us subordinates. But....... ”
Wen Niang frowned slightly: "If I hear that person's voice again, I will definitely be able to recognize him." ”
"His voice is characteristic." Wen Niang said: "Very ......"
Wen Niang thought about it for a long time, and finally only used two words to describe it.
"The slave has not read any books, and I really can't think of any other words. The old people said that the lark's call was the best, and if the slave was concerned, the lark's call was not as good as one-ten-thousandth of the person's. His voice, the slave and maid can't say any magic, anyway, people can immediately forget the troubles around them when they listen to it, and they are full of Tai. ”
Jun Qinglan frowned: "At the beginning of the month, you actually brought a woman to have a private meeting with Huang Lao?" ”
"When did I say there was a woman in the house?" Wen Niang was stunned and said: "If a man's voice sounds good, it is no less than a woman." ”
Jun Qinglan glanced at Li Congyao beside him, nodded and thought it was.
"Your Excellency." Wen Niang suddenly bit her lip and looked at Jun Qinglan solemnly: "The slave and maid talked about this with you because the slave and maid always felt that the master's death was not unrelated to the beginning of that month. It is very likely that the eight hundred taels of silver caused the trouble. In the days before the old man's death, the slave always saw him sighing and talking about retribution, and always scolded the silver for being a bastard, and then gradually became estranged at the beginning of the same month. If there was no problem with this, why did he suddenly cut off contact with the beginning of the month? With what the slave said, could the woman be brought to justice? ”
Jun Qinglan looked at Wen Niang. The woman looked up at her with her head high, her brows furrowed tightly, and her eyes seemed to burn with vigorous anger, flashing with the absolute power of burning everything.
It's a terrifying gaze.
Jun Qinglan knew that she was expecting her to give her an affirmative answer. However......
After a long time, she sighed softly and slowly opened her mouth: "I'm sorry, I can't!" ”
