Chapter 128: Things Happen for a Reason

The smile on Zuo Jiayin's face slowly disappeared, and he said lightly: "Master, you are playing a little too big this time, don't say that you are a little Renhe County, even if you are a dignified political envoy of Zhejiang, I can't help it." ”

"I know." Meng Tianchu smiled, he had already thought of this before he entered the Zuo family. also thought of a countermeasure, "I know that the girl is very capable, and with the kung fu of clapping her hands, she will mobilize Jinyiwei, Dongchang and even the army to level my Renhe County Ya. ”

Zuo Jiayin smiled: "Then you still dare to threaten me?" ”

"Because I know that you won't do anything to me, and besides, you'll tell me a lot of the truth, including your identity and even your background."

"Oh, why are you so confident?" Zuo Jiayin's eyes are bright and full of spring.

Meng Tianchu took a step forward, almost sticking to Zuo Jiayin's body, looking at Zuo Jiayin's deep eyes, he suddenly grabbed her little waist and stuck her on himself: "Just because of this, isn't it enough?" ”

Zuo Jiayin struggled for a moment, blushed and said angrily: "Let go of me, what do others see it?" ”

"Who will see it?" Turning his head to look at Li Ruhan, who was lying in the clouds and roaming in the clouds and fog, he turned his head again, "Even if you see it, what can you do?" I just want to be lighter than you, if you have the ability, you can call Dongchang to arrest me! ”

"Don't think I dare!" Zuo Jiayin said angrily, twisted his body again, but stuck tighter, and smashed his pink fist on Meng Tianchu's shoulder: "What else are you going to do besides bullying me?" ”

"It's going to be much better!" Meng Tianchu leaned down to kiss Zuo Jiayin, Zuo Jiayin gasped and dodged in a panic, and at this moment, he heard footsteps outside the door. Zuo Jiayin struggled, broke free from Meng Tianchu's embrace, withdrew a few steps away, straightened his clothes, and glared at him, but there was a shy smile on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, two people walked in with the curtain on the door. But it was the little maid and the little catcher Song Xiangyu just now.

Song Xiangyu saw Meng Tianchu, stepped forward and bowed down and hugged his fists and said, "Master, the little one is incompetent..."

Meng Tianchu patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay, Li Ruhan confessed to killing his brother Li Ruxuan, and tempted Ke Wei, the son of the Ke Governor's Mansion, to take drugs." Caused death by poisoning. You escorted him out, and there was a king outside the Zuofu who caught the head and they answered, escorted him back to the yamen to await trial, and at the same time informed the Ke prefect that the poisoning case of Ke Gongzi had been solved. It was this Li Ruhan who tempted him to take poison and die. ”

When Song Xiangyu heard that the poisoning case of Governor Ke's son had been solved, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, agreed, lifted Li Ruhan up, twisted his hands and escorted him out of the door.

Zuo Jiayin swept the hair that had been messed up just now and sat down on a chair. glanced at Meng Tianchu: "Since you have already determined that the five corpses buried in my villa were killed by me, then I am the murderer, why did you kiss a murderer just now... So so? ”

Meng Tianchu also sat down on a chair and straightened his clothes: "It is my duty to investigate your suspected murder, just now it is my feelings, these are two issues, and they are not contradictory." If you're really a murderer, I still won't let it go! ”

Zuo Jiayin smiled: "Are you afraid that I won't be merciful?" So you want to subdue me with a gentle sword. Pull out my words, then get out of the way, and find a way to arrest me, right? ”

Meng Tianchu was a little embarrassed: "Girl, Meng is not so despicable." How can a manly man use such means? ”

"You don't think so, you know for yourself." Zuo Jiayin smiled slightly, "Actually, this method is still very effective against girls." ”

"Miss Zuo is too worried-the question Meng asked just now, the girl hasn't answered it yet."

Zuo Jiayin sighed lightly: "Master Meng, since the words have already been said for this part, I will tell you the truth, you don't care about this matter, you can't care about it." ”

"Hehe, I know. It's just that if you don't reveal your true identity, the so-called ignorant are fearless, I'm afraid I can't be scared away by your few words. ”

Zuo Jiayin smiled sweetly, and suddenly asked without a head: "Meng Ye, do you want to hear the story?" ”

"Oh, at this time, Miss Zuo suddenly wanted to tell a story, it seems that this story is related to my problem, I'm afraid it won't work if I don't listen, girl, please tell it."

"Didn't you just guess that I would tell you who I am and even what I came from? Well, I'll start at the beginning. I know Madame Zun must have told you what I told her. But she didn't know it all. Zuo Jiayin swept a strand of hair hanging down from his forehead. He said slowly: "I was enlightened at the age of three, read the Analects at the age of five, memorized the poetry scriptures at the age of six, and began to practice martial arts with my master at the age of seven. I have to get up before dawn every day to practice martial arts, other people's daughters learn the daughter's scriptures, but I read Mulan, other people's daughters learn women's red handicrafts, but I hold knives, guns and sticks. ”

"Why is it so hard?" Meng Tianchu asked.

"Because my father wanted a boy, but I didn't expect that I was a daughter, my mother felt sorry for my father, so she raised me as a boy. I went to learn to take care of the family business with my mother at the age of 11, and became a shopkeeper at the age of 14, you know? I am not grateful to her, she is not happy herself, but she also wants to put her daughter's lifelong happiness on the line. ”

"You may have misunderstood your mother, she may also want you to succeed, after all..."

"After all, we are orphans and widows in this place, and there is no man to support this family, right?"

"I think so."

"Is that my fault? She waited for my disgruntled dad to come back. But what did my father give her? Is there anything else besides a lifetime of pain? ”

"Your father may have had her problems."

Zuo Jiayin took a red and big cherry from the plate where the fruit was put and put it in his mouth, slowly sipped and ate it, spit out the cherry in his mouth into the palm of his hand, and said: "Actually, I don't have to care about her, because my mother is not her!" ”

This sentence was the most surprising thing that Meng Tianchu heard that night.

Zuo Jiayin looked at Meng Tianchu's surprised appearance and smiled: "Meng Ye, it's really rare!" I was surprised to see you. ”

Meng Tianchu always has a feeling of fascination in Zuo Jiayin's pure smile. smiled: "You treat me as a god, I am a human!" ”

"Actually, it's not surprising that you are surprised, because in this house, except for me, my mother, and my mother, no third person knows."

"Doesn't your dad know?" Meng Tianchu was a little surprised.

"Yes, my own mother was my mother's personal maid at that time, and when my father ransomed my mother, because my mother and her have always depended on each other, I begged my father to redeem her too."

"I seem to understand a little, your father ransomed the Qinglou woman and his maid, and if you can redeem it with the maid, your own mother should be very beautiful."

"Yes, although she is not as beautiful as my mother, she is also very good-looking. Originally, my mother and my father wanted to find a good family for her to marry, but I didn't expect that after my father got drunk and had sex with her again, he woke up and found that it was my own mother who had sex with her. Later, my own mother became pregnant with me, but my mother didn't know it. ”

It turned out that the maid fell into the trap of the master and became pregnant with a child, which is really old-fashioned! But clichΓ©d stories are often the most likely to happen.

Zuo Jiayin continued: "This is also why I have no feelings for my father, he is my father, but the person he loves is not my mother." It's only because I saw the wrong person after drinking and took my own mother as my mother that I had me. ”

"And then?"

"Later, my father became Central Europe, and my mother and my mother were pregnant. My mother knew at the time, and she didn't blame my mother, and she forgave her. The two women waited for the birth of the Zuo family's flesh and blood together, but they didn't expect that the mother's child was born a stillbirth, I heard that it was still a boy, my mother gave birth to me, and then my mother couldn't stand the blow and couldn't afford to get sick, and then I got better, but I wanted me with my mother. ”

"Your mother promised her?"

"She said at the time, if she didn't agree, she would kick out both our mother and daughter, my mother was only sixteen years old that year, how could she live with me? And my own mother is just a maid of my mother, so in order to let her child live, she agreed. ”

Meng Tianchu sighed deeply; "And when did you find out?"

"Two years ago."

"Who told you that?"

"I overheard it, I asked them, and my own mother cried and recognized me."

"Your own mother is really miserable, but her child is close in front of you but you can't recognize each other."

"There's even more bitterness!" Zuo Jiayin's expression was gloomy, and she said slowly: "Not long after my father came back three years ago, my mother was worried that my father would really fall in love with my nurse and not want her, so she deliberately pushed her into the fire shop and burned her face. ”

"Why are you like this..."

"Vicious? Is it? ”

Meng Tianchu nodded, Zuo Jiayin stood up, walked outside the door, turned his back to Meng Tianchu, and the two of them did not speak for a long time.

It turns out that Zuo Jiayin has such a life experience, which is really impressive. Meng Tianchu said: "Ling Zun must have known the truth and was overly sad, so he got sick. ”

"You're so smart - how do you know?"

"Your father married the daughter of the official department Shangshu against his will, worried about your two mothers, and secretly came back to give them money, you know, this is a big risk, but your father did it, and later ran away and returned to them, which is enough to show that he cares about your two mothers in his heart. But your mother is jealous, afraid that your father will fall in love with your own mother and disfigure her, your father has feelings for both of them, and this result will definitely make him angry, and it is strange if he is not sick. ”

"yes, my dad has been in bed for days since that happened. After that, I often had headaches. Every time he got in pain, he hit his head against the wall, and then my master saw that he was in so much pain, so he gave him a dose of grub to eat, and after eating it, the headache was really suppressed, but every time he had a headache, he had to eat it, and the more he ate, the bigger the dose, otherwise he couldn't control the severe pain, but his body was getting weaker and weaker. ”

Meng Tianchu sighed: "If Ling Zun keeps eating like this, I'm afraid my body won't be able to endure it for long." ”

"yes, I didn't know. But what can be done, Lang Zhong who can find it has also been found, and he has thought of all the ways he can think of, so he used this strategy when he was helpless. Not only my father, but after my mother was burned, the wound was in severe pain, she couldn't sleep day and night, screaming and moaning all night, and her body was haggard for several days. Alas!"

Of course, Meng Tianchu knew the painful scene of burn patients suffering without pain, and he also sighed: "It's no wonder yours. This is also true, people in this era still have too little understanding of the dangers of opium, and pay more attention to its strong anesthetic and analgesic effects, which is not the same as people's understanding of drugs in modern society.

Zuo Jiayin said: "My master later told me that he has been studying this fruit for many years, and has been trying to extract it from the hibiscus fruit, hoping to concoct a kind of fruit that can prolong life, but he has never mastered its habits. Since my master needs a large amount of this kind of herb for testing and configuration, and my father and mother are taking more and more of this kind of mushroom, after discussing with my master, I bought the Jiayin Villa for me and the mountains are full of hibiscus, and the fruit is extracted to refine and configure the mushroom. I am responsible for planting the flowers, and my master is in charge of the flowers. ”

Meng Tianchu shook his head: "You really don't know the habits of this opium, and you don't know how to use this opium to maximize its effect..."

Zuo Jiayin was surprised and delighted: "Master Meng, you must know this opium very well!" Right? You teach me, okay? I promise you prosperity and wealth..."

As soon as he said this, Zuo Jiayin stopped and didn't say any more.

Meng Tianchu smiled: "You protect me of glory and wealth?" Haha, who the hell are you? A princess today? ”

"I'm not a princess, but in a sense, I'm no less powerful than a princess."

"Oh, then tell me first, who are you sacred? If I can believe me, I might be able to help you. "As a forensic doctor, Meng Tianchu knows the habits of opium well, and pointing out some fur is enough for them to be ecstatic.

Zuo Jiayin's eyes flashed with incomparably excited light: "Master Meng, is this true?" ”

"You have no jokes!" Meng Tianchu said in a tone, and then said, "Of course it's true." ”

"Okay, I'll tell you everything, you must help me!" Zuo Jiayin took out a small sign from his arms, stepped forward, and handed it to Meng Tianchu.
