Chapter 65: Marriage in the Ancestral Hall
As soon as she heard this, Qian Po suddenly softened, fell to the ground, leaned over and began to tremble, her lips trembled, and there was no blood on her face.
Patriarch Jin saw it clearly, and immediately became suspicious, and shouted: "Is it you, the old slut, who stole Madame's gold bracelet?" If you don't say it, my family law is not vegetarian! ”
Don't look at the Jin patriarch like a sick cat in front of Lu Jinping and Xie Justice, but in front of the slaves, it is majestic and murderous, just this sentence scared the old woman to the core, and kowtowed to the ground and said: "Master, madam, I was wrong, I was greedy for a while, I took the old lady's bracelet, I am guilty, I deserve to die, beg the old lady to spare my life." ”
Patriarch Jin was so angry that he stepped forward and kicked Mrs. Qian in the face, and suddenly his nose bleeded, and he scolded: "Where did you put the bracelet?" ”
"Put it under the bed in my room."
As soon as he said this, he heard the surprised voice of the maid from outside the courtyard: "Madam, sir, the gold bracelet has been found, and it is under the bed of this old goods." ”
The voice came from far and near, and a few maids rushed in, it was the maid ring beside Mrs. Jin, holding a golden bracelet in her hand, and handed it to Mrs. Jin.
Mrs. Jin took it, surprised and delighted, and looked at it again and again: "That's right, it's my bracelet, which was taken off from my hand and given to me by my mother-in-law before she died. ”
Patriarch Jin took a look, nodded and said, "That's right, it's what my mother left for you." He turned back to Lu Jinping and said, "Thank you, if this bracelet wasn't left by my mother, I wouldn't care so much. ”
At this moment, everyone was stunned. He looked at Lu Jinping with amazed eyes.
Judicial Xie arched his hand and said: "It turns out that Lord Lu really has this magical method, I originally listened to what Lord Lu said, and I still felt a little half-convinced, because I have never heard of such a way to solve cases." Now it seems that this is the case, and after the lord did the Tao in the dressing room, he knew who stole this thing, it was so magical, it was really amazing. ”
Xiong Zhutou, who followed Lu Jinping to Tongzhou, grinned and said with a smile: "Our lord's ability to solve the case is really not to say, he was a doctor of medicine before, just because he solved the case like a god, our Feng Tingshi specially approved him to assist Luo Judicial Investigation of the case, especially his ability to dissect and dissect the corpse is amazing, in comparison, this method of catching thieves does not need to make a fuss, hehehe." ”
Xiong Zhutou said proudly with a shy stomach, it seems that there can be such a detective who solves the case like a god in the yamen of their Tongzhou capital, which is also the capital he boasts in front of people.
Lu Jinping said to Judicial Xie: "The case belongs to your Fangzhou, so you will handle it!" ”
Xie Judicial thanked him, Xie Judicial waved his hand and ordered the arrester to lock up Qian Po and escort him down to record his confession in detail.
Patriarch Jin said to Lu Jinping: "The banquet has been prepared, please invite the lord and a few uncles to the table, the case is solved, and we can have a good drink." ”
Jin Dafu and Lu Fengniang's wife are even more happy, Lu Fengniang was released before, it can be said that it was only because of Lu Jinping's power and coercion that the Jin patriarch had to be released, and now, the real thief was caught, and he completely cleared his grievances.
Patriarch Jin felt extremely guilty because he framed Lu Jinping's sister for no reason, so he really made amends at the banquet, and called his wife and concubines to take turns to toast Lu Jinping.
Patriarch Jin wanted to arrange for Lu Jinping and them to live in his own house, but Lu Jinping refused, since he arrived at his brother-in-law's hometown, he naturally wanted to live in his brother-in-law's house, and although his brother-in-law's hometown house was not as good as Patriarch Jin, it was still good, and he was a businessman in the end.
So, Xie Zhenghe brought the catcher to live in the Jin patriarch's house, while Lu Jinping took the bear catcher and a few catchers to live at the brother-in-law's sister's house.
Back at the house, Jin Dafu had already instructed the attendants at home to prepare a decanting soup and give it to Lu Jinping to drink.
Lu Jinping drank the sobering soup while listening to his sister crying and laughing about his past and the scene when his parents were alive.
At this time, a middle-aged woman walked in quickly and shouted with a smile to Lu Jinping Lake, "Hello, sir!" Then he came to Jin Dafu, who was sitting opposite Lu Jinping, leaned over and muttered a few words in his ear. Jin Dafu frowned and whispered: "I'm accompanying the lord, I don't have time, you can tell your uncle and let him do it." ”
"Uncle said, this is your third father, your grandfather's brother, and you are the host. If you're not there, who's going to preside? You have to go. ”
"Isn't it like I can't leave? Wait a minute, can't you? ”
"No, Mr. said, at this time, I missed it, and I have to wait for half a month."
Kim Dae-fu frowned.
Lu Jinping drank the remaining decanting soup, put down the empty bowl, and asked Jin Dafu, "What, is there something?" ”
Jin Dafu hurriedly smiled and said: "That's the case, this time I went back to my hometown to celebrate the patriarch's birthday, and at the same time, I also wanted to marry a daughter-in-law for my third father." It turned out that the wedding was being held tonight during the third watch......"
Lu Jinping was a little strange: "A wedding in the middle of the night? What are the rules? ”
Jin Dafu smiled and said: "Yes, this is the day that the gentleman asked after reading it, that is, today's hour is the most appropriate, there is no way, if you want to delay, then you have to delay it for half a month before there will be a good day." ”
"Then you hurry up and get busy with yours, you don't have to accompany me, I'm chatting with my sister."
Lu Fengniang said on the side: "Brother, why don't we go together to see the excitement, this is a rare one, since you are here, you are now a lord, if you want to attend their wedding, it will give your brother-in-law a big face." Your brother-in-law can also be majestic in their house. ”
The status of businessmen in the Tang Dynasty was very low, Jin Dafu was a businessman, so he actually had no social status in the family, if he could have a master's brother-in-law to attend the wedding of his third duke, then Jin Dafu, as the host, of course, had a bright face
Lu Jinping heard his sister say this, but he became a little interested, thinking that he would hold a wedding in the middle of the night, he had never seen this before, so he might as well go and see the excitement, anyway, now, I don't want to sleep when I'm drunk. So he nodded and said, "Okay, then go and see." ”
Jin Dafu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "Thank you, sir, my third prince can have a great face." ”
Lu Jinping waved his hand and stood up, Jin Dafu hurriedly led the way and led them to a courtyard.
When the people at the door saw them coming, they hurriedly smiled and said hello, now Lu Jinping is already a man of the year in their Jinshan Village, and everyone knows it. Seeing him come to the wedding, he couldn't help but be surprised and happy, and hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute and called him a lord.
Lu Jinping nodded all the way into the courtyard, only to see that the courtyard was full of people, one by one happily discussing, but in the middle was not an ordinary house, but a lobby, and there were no other wings. At this moment, there are also people busy in the lobby, and a string of big red lanterns are hung on the eaves, illuminating the courtyard very brightly.
Lu Jinping was a little strange, it didn't seem to be a house from the courtyard, and when he looked up, there was a plaque hanging on it with the words "Jin Family Ancestral Hall", because it was not easy to notice in the night, so he didn't find it just now.
Lu Jinping was stunned for a moment again, it was really rare to get married in the ancestral hall. It seems that there are really strange things happening in this mountain village.
After listening to Jin Dafu's introduction, I learned that it was not Jin Dafu who was closest to the third prince, but because he proposed this matter and paid for the marriage, so he was responsible for the wedding host.
When Lu Jinping's gaze fell in the middle of the lobby, the smile on his face froze. Because on the offering table in the middle of the room, there are dozens of black wooden tablets on top of each other, with the words such as a certain spiritual position inscribed with a gold pen, which is actually the tablet of a dead person.
Lu Jinping felt a little hairy, how could he choose such a place to hold a wedding? Is it to pray for the protection of the ancestors? It's weird.
Lu Jinping was allowed to sit in the main seat, and his sister Lu Fengniang stood at the door and did not come in. Lu Jinping didn't want to call her, because he found that the ancestral hall was full of men, and it seemed that their rules were that women couldn't come in.
