Chapter Eighty-Nine: Talking Medium
In the early winter of Guangde, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the leaves have fallen off, and the yellow can be paved with the gravel road of the Yamen of Guangde County. Yang Qiuchi stepped on the broken leaves and walked towards the yamen cell in the gentle autumn wind. At this moment, his mood is also exceptionally refreshing.
It has been more than half a month since the Yin family's big case was cracked, Yang Qiuchi came to the Yamen prison, and they were still blowing about Yang Qiuchi's cracking of these two major cases.
Last time, typhoid fever was fortunately discovered in time, and there was no infection, and the cleaning of the cell was also done well, but now the cell is clean, and the original musty smell and foul smell are much less, Yang Qiuchi praised a few words, and the big plate teeth lined up with a mouthful of yellow teeth and smiled.
Yang Qiuchi and Da Banya went to the cell of Long Zixu, a poor Xiucai who almost died last time, and saw that it was very clean inside, although Long Zixu still looked a little sluggish, after a few days of treatment, he finally felt a little refreshed.
When Long Zixu saw Yang Qiuchi, he struggled to get up and knelt down: "Thank you Yang Ye for saving your life, if Long Mou has one day to get the snow of grievances, he will definitely repay Yang Ye for his kindness." Long Zixu had a big and thick wooden flail around his neck, and he couldn't kowtow, so he could only do it vigorously.
Yang Qiuchi remembered that Da Banya had said that this Xiucai had killed his wife, so he asked with a smile: "Grievances?" You slaughtered all your mothers, what's wrong? ”
Long Zixu made a gesture again and again: "Master Yang, the little one is really wronged, I didn't kill my wife." ”
Big Banya spit: "Fart!" He turned his head to Yang Qiuchi and said, "I heard that this kid killed his wife and buried him in the neighbor's vegetable field, and told others that his mother was gone. The county lord arrested him and put him on a stick, and then he confessed, and now he wants to admit his guilt, how can there be such a cheap thing! ”
Long Zixu said: "Master, I was beaten into a trick, I really didn't kill my old lady, who is that corpse, I really don't know, please check it out!" "It's been a lot of fun.
Yang Qiuchi was slightly surprised when he saw that he was sincere, so he asked Da Banya: "Do you know what evidence is used to determine that he killed his wife and buried him in the neighbor's vegetable field?" ”
"Proof?" "I don't know, I heard that the relationship between him and his wife is not good, his wife blames him for his lack of ability, and the neighbors often hear his wife scolding him, he must be angry, so he killed his wife - I heard that he recognized all these in the lobby." ”
Long Zixu shouted: "I was beaten into a trick, I really didn't kill anyone." Although my wife is a little fierce, I never thought of killing him. ”
"Then where did your lady go?" Yang Qiuchi asked.
"I didn't know that one day when I got home, she was gone, and her clothes and jewelry were gone. I reported to the police, but I didn't find it. ”
Big Banya spat again: "I'm phew! You killed your wife, you have to report her disappearance, of course you have to throw away all her clothes and jewelry, you are all fools to us! ”
Yang Qiuchi looked at this Long Zixu, the whole nerd, not like a deceitful person, judging from the facts of the case just said, just because his wife was missing, the relationship between the two is usually not good, and now he found a corpse in his neighbor's vegetable field, and said that he killed his wife, which is probably still a little confusing.
While pondering, a jailer ran in and said, "Master Yang, your maid is here, saying that there is something urgent to find you." Yang Qiuchi hurriedly walked out of the cell, came to the class room, and saw Feng Xiaoxue's maid Xiaodie standing there from a distance, and when she saw herself coming out, Fluttershy hurriedly ran over and said, "Young master, young master!" The old lady told you to go back quickly. ”
Yang Qiuchi was taken aback: "Did something happen?" ”
Fluttershy panted and said, "Mr. Bai Qian~ sent a lot of silver, ~ said it was ......, said it was ......"
Bai Qian always sent silver, he must be grateful to himself for saving their lives again, then accept it, don't rush to find yourself in such a hurry.
But Yang Qiuchi was about to cry when he saw Fluttershy's face, and he felt that something was wrong, and asked, "Don't worry, take your time, what did they say." ”
They said...... Hey, I can't tell you clearly, young master, you'll know when you go back. ”
Hearing her say this, as if something big had happened, Yang Qiuchi was secretly a little frightened, and didn't ask too much, and hurriedly returned home with Fluttershy.
Entering the courtyard and coming to the main hall, Yang Mu, Feng Xiaoxue, and Qin Zhihui were all there, and the two maids stood aside, standing with their heads hanging and their hands solemn. In the guest seat, there was the chubby Wang matchmaker who came last time, and there were two servants standing behind him, who seemed to be Bai Qianzong. This time, instead of giggling like a hen laying eggs as before, Mrs. Wang sat there with her head down, looking a little embarrassed with a smile on her face.
What is this matchmaker here for? Do you come to ask yourself to take a concubine again? However, looking at Mother Yang's gloomy face, as well as Feng Xiaoxue's eyes that were obviously a little red and swollen from crying, and then looking at Qin Zhihui's sympathetic gaze, Yang Qiuchi knew that something was wrong at home.
Yang Qiuchi sat beside Yang's mother: "Mother, what's wrong?" Did something happen? ”
Mother Yang let out a long sigh and put her mouth on the table, Yang Qiuchi looked at it, only to find that there was a large tray on the table, covered with a red cloth. Yang Qiuchi asked suspiciously, "What is this?" "Reach over, uncover the red cloth, oh my God, slowly a tray of silver!
"Ah, where did you get all this silver?" Yang Qiuchi asked, no one answered, Yang Qiuchi was a little anxious, it was estimated that it was related to the matchmaker Wang, so he simply asked her directly: "Hey, Granny Wang, why did you come to our house?" ”
Mrs. Wang looked at Mother Yang, changed her smile, and the wrinkles on her face were squeezed together: "Young Master Yang, are you still satisfied with what you told you last time?" ”
Yang Qiuchi looked at Qin Zhihui: "Of course I am satisfied." ”
"I'll just say, with the family affairs introduced by my Wang matchmaker, I haven't been dissatisfied, I look at people with these eyes, that's called a look at a quasi-......"
"Okay, okay, I didn't ask you this, why are you here this time?" Yang Qiuchi interrupted her. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Feng Xiaoxue and the others with sad faces, and he didn't know what was wrong, the matchmaker was still talking around, a little angry.
Mrs. Wang also saw it, and said with a forced smile: "I'm here this time, ...... It was entrusted by Mr. Bai Qian, Lord Bai, to propose to Young Master Yang......"
Without waiting for Mrs. Wang to finish speaking, Qin Zhihui interrupted her: "Didn't I just say it?" This matter will never work, and my husband will never agree to it. I looked at Mother Yang and saw that she had a gloomy face, and I didn't dare to say more.
"What propose? What not? What am I not promised? Yang Qiuchi was confused, didn't this matchmaker just come to mention marriage two days ago? Although he brought up a killer to himself, he was still subdued by himself in the end. I already have a concubine, and it's only been a long time since I got into the cave, although this son doesn't know if he can give birth yet, but if you want to introduce the second one, you don't have to be in such a hurry.
Seeing Yang Qiuchi Yang's face full of doubts, Mother Yang sighed: "Son, Mr. Qian asked Mother-in-law Wang to propose marriage to you, and you want to ...... I'm going to marry her daughter Bai Sumei to you! ”
