"This ......" Wei Wuya hesitated for a moment, thought about it sideways, and replied: "It was a piece of high-grade white jade purchased from a Tibetan merchant, at that time the lord was still very young, and he had just taken over the family business, I remember that in the midsummer when the lord was twenty-one years old, he met a team of Tubo merchants at the Qiqiao Inn in Lintao Mansion, and the lord bought this piece of beautiful treasure for three thousand taels. That night, the old man didn't sleep all night, saying that this piece of big white jade can be carved into a pair of raw nights, and then the value will be connected, and he estimates that it can be sold for more than 80,000 taels, and he will leave it for his future daughter-in-law as a meeting gift. ”

More than 80,000 taels is worth a fortune? Lin Ah really went down to the end. This Wei Wuya still remembers the name of the inn, and he really has the talent to be a minion. Again, "What about the sad things?" Is it the second young master who died last year? ”

"It's not." Wei Wuya shook his head and sighed lightly, "It's when I learned that the eldest young master is an idiot. The eldest young master didn't sit up for eight months, and the old man called Dr. Ai from the ten-mile pharmacy to diagnose, and Dr. Ai said that the eldest young master was destined to be crazy, and the old man seemed to be fine in front of his wife, but that night the old man was hiding alone in the slave's room and crying all night, and the master never cried. ”

Lin Azhen nodded, pointed at Wei Wuyan and called, "Go down." Prepare a hearty meal for him. ”

"Yes." Yacha should drink, stepped forward to set up Wei Wuya, and quickly left the hall.

The whole hall was stunned, and they all looked at Lin Azhen, and couldn't figure out why he didn't ask about the case, but came to ask about these parents' short things? Without understanding, the woman walked out with red eyes, and called softly: "My lord......"

"The case of your husband has already been asked by Jinan Prefecture, so there is no need to ask again. I brought it up this time to see what it looked like, and I had no other intention. Lin Azhen said with a smile, waved her hand to step aside, knocked on the official case with her hand, and turned to Shu Xiaodong and said, "Tell me to go down and summon the maid ring and her beside Mrs. Wei Mansion for me." ”

Shu Xiaodong hurriedly answered yes, beckoned to catch his head, turned around and ran out of the yamen.

After a long period of time, Lin Azhen heard a large number of noisy noises outside, and looked forward with his eyes, only to see a large number of people gathered outside the yamen, and the crowd squirmed, and Mrs. Wei Huang and her maid walked in.

"Let the Huang family wait outside first, and his personal maid will enter the hall to listen to the inquiry."

"Yes!" The servants inside and outside the hall echoed, and Shu Xiaodong led the way, stepped into the hall with a little girl, hugged and shouted: "Wei Mansion Yahuan Wei Chunlan bring." ”

Seeing that the battle was even bigger than three days ago, the girl knelt down hurriedly and kowtowed: "The slave and maid will see the lord." ”

"No, get up and talk." Evoking this little girl, Lin Azhen looked at her carefully, and asked at the beginning: "Chunlan, let me ask you, how long have you been with the Huang family?" ”

"It's been five years."

"In the past five years, have you ever seen a fight between the lord and the wife?"

The maid thought that the adult was going to ask the master how to die, but she didn't expect to ask this, raised her eyes slightly, and saw that the adult's eyes were shooting straight at her, and she hurriedly lowered her head and said: "Madame is virtuous, the master of the family has always consulted Madame, and the slave has never seen them quarrel." ”

The women of the Song family have always been gentle and virtuous, and Ah Zhen knows that Yu'er is such a gentle woman. Nodding his head and asking, "Was there ever an argument?" ”

The girl didn't want to shake her head and said, "No." ”

Lin Azhen said: "Think about it, is it true that there has never been a dispute?" ”

The maid thought for a while, shook her head and replied: "The old man loves Mrs. very much, Mrs. has always said what she says, and the slave maid has never seen them quarrel and argue." ”

Seeing that this girl's letter was in full swing, Lin Azhen's brows were screwed up, could he have guessed wrong? But that's not right. Ask again: "Let me ask you again, has Madame ever left home?" For example, go out to visit the mountains and rivers, or go to visit relatives? ”

The girl nodded and said, "Yes, every year on the third day of the new year, Mrs. has to go back to Nanling's mother's house." Every year in September, the eleventh lady will go to the Guanyin Temple in Hengshan to fast. ”

There are still seven days left before the third day of the new year, but September is ahead. Lin Azhen asked: "Tell me about this Guanyin Zen in Hengshan, and then tell me how long the Huang family stops every time he goes." ”

The girl was suspicious, wondering why the adults didn't ask about the bloody case, but asked about these inconsequential things. He replied disobediently, and slowly complained: "There are many temples in Hengshan, and Guanyin Zen Temple is on a mountain in the north, which is a nunnery, and its original name is Cao'an Temple. There are only two nuns in the Cao'an Temple, the old nun is called Bingxin, the old one can't move, she only has one disciple, called Shuixin, only the age of a slave. Madame has to go to Cao'an Temple every year, which is before the eldest young master dies. The slave maid only heard from her aunt that when the eldest young master was two years old, the old nun of Cao'an Temple came to the house once and asked her to give her the eldest young master, otherwise she would die. At that time, Mrs. was reluctant, and then the eldest young master really died, and since then, Mrs. has to go to Cao'an Temple to fasting for three days every September 11. ”

The Caoan Temple in Hengshan? Two nuns, young and old?

Lin Azhen thought for a while, raised his hand and said, "Okay, you go down and invite Mrs. Wei Huang in." ”

"Yes." The messenger responded and led the girl ring out of the hall, Huang entered the hall with a white Xu Lian, she saw that the adult on the case was Dong Ye last night, she was slightly stunned, and hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "The woman knocks to see the adult." ”

"No need, Huang stood up and replied." Lin Azhen's tone was soft, and he looked at this woman in the right color, compared with the gloom in the mourning hall last night, this woman in her forties was even more delicate and elegant, because of her age, her body was slightly fat, but she was plump and fat, and her face was as fat as last night.

"Hmm." After looking at it openly, Ah Zhen looked down at the case book, raised his eyes and asked: "Huang, your real name is Wanrong, is it a Nanling clan?" ”

Huang nodded. "Yes!"

"You and Wei Quantong are cousins, and you married to Jinan from Nanling at the age of fourteen, right?"

"Yes!"

"You have had two sons, when did the eldest son disappear, and how did the second son die, tell me again."

"Yes." Huang Shi raised his drooping eyes, and slowly said: "My son Changfeng is too hard-working, he was born stupid, and he died for no reason when he was three years old. Last year, Duanyang sat on the Beiqing River and suddenly fell from the boat, ......"Speaking of this, he cried, and his appearance made people feel pity.

"Huang's Day mourns." Lin Azhen was relieved, and asked again: "Wei Quantong has been married to you for 30 years, and I can hear that he is a decent person, and you are the only one in his heart from beginning to end, have you persuaded him to accept a concubine?" ”

Huang replied with a sob. "I have persuaded it, but the master doesn't want it."

Lin Azhen asked again: "When was the last one?" Tell me more about it. ”

"It was three days before when the master went." As he spoke, Huang's big tears fell, and he complained at the end of his life: "My lord's friends in the business field once invited my lord to go to the building to talk about business, and then every time my lord talked about business with his friends on the field, he went to this building. The women didn't blame him, but the old man was afraid that the women would be unhappy, so he said that the Oiran Chu Xiangxiang in this building was a white family, only selling her art and not her body, and she didn't do anything that she couldn't do to be sorry for the women. Later, once or twice I heard the old man praise this Chu Xiangxiang, and at that time, the woman thought that the old man must like this talented woman, so she mentioned the matter of concubine to the old man again. ”

Selling art or not selling yourself? Lin Ah is really foaming, and he will sell it after the most lush, how can the old bustard be put in the old pearl yellow. But is this Chu Xiangxiang really so talented? I really have to see it. Asked again: "Then how does Wei Quantong answer?" ”

Huang's tears stopped slightly, shook his head and said: "The lord refuses, saying that the people are still menstruating, and the forty-year-old woman has more children, and the sky will not be my Wei family, and there will be a future." ”

This Wei Quantong is a local wealthy man, and his wealth is so deep that he can have a deep affection for the Huang family from beginning to end, and he is less than half of it. Ah Zhen nodded and asked, "Is your eldest son, Wei Changfeng, an idiot?" How is it determined? ”

Huang whispered: "I called the doctor to come and see." ”

"Do you remember calling Dr. He to come and see?"

"Remember, it was Dr. Ai from the Shili Pharmacy who came to see it."

"Then you learned that the eldest son is stupid, sad?"

The woman shook her head, small tears bursting and growing, and she did not answer.

Lin Azhen didn't work hard, and asked again: "Huang replied to me, are you sad to learn that your eldest son is stupid?" ”

Everyone in the hall was surprised, seeing that the woman was already sad and weeping, why did she ask more questions? Qi looked at the official case, but he really didn't understand what the adult wanted to ask?

Huang choked for a while before picking up the silk and wiping away tears and crying: "Sad." ”

Lin Azhen saw that she couldn't wipe away her tears with a handkerchief, and asked again with a deep look: "Then your lord is sad when he learns that his son is crazy?" ”

"Sad."

"How to be sad, tell me in detail."

"It's sad." Huang shook his head and said bitterly: "Knowing this, the old man is in pain, and he can't sleep." ”

According to Wei Wuya's complaint just now, when Wei Quantong learned that his eldest son was stupid, he was as if nothing happened in front of Huang, but he hid in Wei Wuya's room at night and secretly cried all night. This Huang Shi answered the question.

Lin Azhen comforted the Huang family, stood up and said, "That's all for today, Mrs. Wei, you can go back." ”

Huang Shi lightly blessed, and when he turned around, Lin Azhen walked down the steps and said with a smile: "By the way, Mrs. Wei, I heard that you have a pair of gold in your hand that is beaten into twelve life nights, which was purchased by your late husband Wei Quantong from Western Xia, and the carving is lifelike, I wonder if you can borrow me to take a look?" ”

Just turned around, suddenly heard this, Huang hurriedly returned to his body, peeked at the smiling adult, nodded and replied: "The adult wants to watch, the woman will send someone to send it when she goes back." ”

Huang's answer, everyone's faces changed in unison, Shu Xiaodong was the first to shoot forward, grabbed Huang's wrist and shouted: "Who are you?" ”

Huang Shi finished answering, his wrist was tight, he looked at Shu Xiaodong in fright, saw that his face was pale, and he turned sharply to Lin Azhen and whispered: "My lord......"
