Chapter 170: Witch Gu
The purpose of moving is to build a new schoolhouse, and you must have money in your hands. But the money must also be less, this money is not Song Jiu's money, it is the money of the deed shares. It turned out that hundreds of thousands of gold, silver, and copper coins and cloths were at home, and they didn't dare to move them. Now that the money is being used about the same, Song Jiu simply divided it into one point, assigned it to the main inn and the playground, and handed it over directly to the steward. Then start moving. Before moving, Guo Da finally returned.
He is not a businessman, he brought a small cargo back, and actually lost more than 70 yuan, it doesn't matter if he loses, it is mainly those two people. Song Jiu said: "You stay at home, let Liu Hai and them take these two people to visit secretly, but tell them not to leak this matter, there are many people who have the ability to live in the capital." ”
"Jiulang, I know the way."
Song Jiu drew the design of the house and handed it to Hu Da, built many houses, and some masons in Lianghe also gained experience. The front and back rows are all two-room houses, but after Yuping's repeated requests, the main entrance and corner door are finally opened. In the past, Song De was sloppy, and the whole capital was sloppy. Now all the officials of the Song Dynasty are exquisite, and Song Jiu can't help but pay attention to it. Song Jiu painted the main gate and the corner gate again. Cui'er looked at the drawings and said, "If the academy opens in the future, what will happen to these empty houses?" ”
"There will be no fewer people in the family in the future, besides, if the little lady of the Pan family enters the door, can there be a lack of servants?"
"She's just a good birth, what's so great."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Yuping scolded, it was not that she was born in the Pan family, but that she was good-looking, so Song Jiu loved her and didn't have much to do with the Pan family. Now the Pan family is noble, but is it easy to say in the future, maybe the Pan family will be stained with Jiulang's light in the future.
Not only the school building has to be moved. Even the Zhu Yang family had to move away and move to the empty warehouse at the wharf together. It happened that Song Jiu pounced on the river island for most of the time. It also saves you from going back and forth. Just as he was about to move, Fu Zhaoshou hurriedly came. Pulling Song Jiu aside and saying, "Jiulang, someone went to Kaifeng Mansion to sue the Zhang family for creating witch Gu in your house. The second king asked Judge Liu to come out of the back door to inform me, and let you deal with the matter immediately, and the official will come to the door in a while. ”
After finishing speaking, he looked at Song Jiu suspiciously.
He didn't understand it a little, didn't his brother-in-law turn against Song Jiu, why did he want to help Song Jiu?
Song Jiu's face changed drastically, and he said, "Erlang, this matter must not be leaked. ”
"You ...... with your brother-in-law"
"You must not divulge this."
"I see."
You know what a. However, Song Jiu immediately found Zhang Yuanyuan.
To be precise, witch Gu is a harmful method such as curses, puppet shooting, and poisonous Gu. It belongs to a kind of black witchcraft, witchcraft in the Song Dynasty was more prevalent, but for the white witchcraft court has always encouraged, such as lizards asking for rain, fanning the sky, inserting the sacrificial door, dice, hexagram shadow, taking water for rain, that is, curing the disease and seeking good fortune with good intentions witchcraft. But in opposition to it, there is also a kind of witchcraft, such as witchcraft, tile-covered paper figures, and raising ghosts. The kind of spiritism with the dead soul in Western movies in the previous life, the aversion to victory, the soul hooking method, and the curse technique. Burying souls, and even using living sacrifices, Song Jiu went down and saw many bad sacrifices. It's this dark black magic. Whether it had any effect or not, Song Jiu didn't dare to try it. What if it's true? But these sacrifices create a terrifying dark atmosphere in the place, and they will also scare away foreign merchants.
Whether it's witchcraft or black magic. The imperial court has always hated it. The old lady was taken in by herself, she was still taken in by Zhao Kuangyi's order, once the old lady was found to have created witch Gu in the Song family, it would have a fatal blow to herself and Zhao Kuangyi.
found the old lady, Zhang Bei'an was reading a book, reading the enlightenment version of the textbook, this stay was a long time, Zhang Bei'an could know a few words, occasionally Song Jiu and Zhu San also taught him, and he also pointed to the book to teach Zhang Beiyuan to read aloud. The old lady sat on the sidelines and mended her clothes serenely.
Song Jiu said: "Bei'an, Beiyuan, you go out first." ”
The two children walked out of the house puzzled, and Song Jiu asked, "Zhang Yuanyuan, what kind of witch Gu did you make at home?" ”
"What witch?"
"It's witchcraft."
"This, after you left, I met a Taoist priest, he told my fortune for me, and he calculated it very accurately, and the old body was worried about Jiulang, afraid that something would happen to you in Bashu."
"I know this, you said what happened later." Song Jiu hurriedly said. The old lady is very comfortable in her own house, and if something happens to her, the old lady and her two grandchildren will not be safe, she will not be uneasy and kind, this is connected by the same fate.
"Then he handed me a divine blessing doll, and the old body did not take him home."
Song Jiuyi's face became even more ugly when he heard it, and the doll's was even more terrifying, this is the people's statement, and the written saying is called a puppet. To put it simply, there are also harmful methods such as straw and paper figures, and only those who shoot puppets are considered witches, or they use needles to pierce puppets on their bodies, which are also witches. The old lady doesn't know how to prick the doll with a needle, but no one can tell if there is this thing. Ancient and modern exchanges, I don't know how many big cases Lu Dao has set off for it. He made up his mind and said, "Bring that doll." ”
The old lady took the wooden doll out of the room, and it seemed that the old lady was very cautious, and offered a small incense burner.
Song Jiu put it on the coal stove and burned it at once, and the old lady wanted to stop it, Song Jiu shouted: "Let it burn, is there anything else?" ”
"It's gone."
"Erlang, find it for me."
Song Jiu and Fu Zhaoshou carefully searched the old lady's room, and there was nothing suspicious, so Song Jiu asked, "Zhang Yuanyuan, who knows it?" ”
"The big dog and the two dogs both know the way, and Cui'er also knows the way."
Song Jiu asked Fu Zhaoshou to go back first, and after a while, the official was about to come, and when he saw him, he couldn't speak clearly, and then called Cui'er and the two children and asked, "Who else did you tell the doll in your grandmother's room?" ”
The two children shook their heads, and Cui'er asked puzzledly, "Jiulang, what's wrong?" ”
"Did you say it to anyone?"
"I have to talk about this too, is it a baby?"
"It's not a baby, if you say that Zhang Yuanyuan will be beheaded, even we will be unlucky. Bei'an, Beiyuan, no matter who asks you later, you all say you've never seen it, understand? "I'm not afraid of Zhang Bei'an, I'm afraid of Zhang Beiyuan, but fortunately, the little girl is one year older. A little sensible. She stared at her big eyes and said, "Daddy, don't worry." ”
It is not a fluke. It was carefully furnished and saw that I was going to move. I was afraid that I would find the old lady's puppet, and I thought that Zhao Kuangyi had fallen out with me, so I went to Kaifeng Mansion to denounce it. Song Jiu hadn't figured it out for the time being, and said: "Bei'an, from now on, where Beiyuan goes, you have to go somewhere, don't let strangers talk to her, understand?" ”
"Uncle. What's that? ”
"A very bad thing, something that hurts your grandmother and me."
The incident also alarmed Yuping, who asked what was going on, and Song Jiu briefly explained it. "It's a puppet......
Suddenly stopped, stopped talking, to say that it was a small puppet, and there were noodle sellers, sugar people, and clay people in the tiles. There are also wooden people, but the case of offering incense, nothing can be said clearly. If it weren't for Zhao Kuangyi's second brother-in-law to retreat, the official would have broken in all of a sudden. It's not a witch, it's a witch.
"These people are not afraid of the thunder and thunder on them."
"What are you afraid of, the people who believe are the common people, including the great monks. They pretend to be ghosts all day long, but they don't necessarily believe in ghosts and gods. That's why I dare to use gods and ghosts to cheat money. ”
While he was talking, a catcher with a large group of officials broke in. Chong Song Jiuyi arched his hand and said: "Someone has accused the Zhang family of creating witchcraft at home, we have to go in and search, and if we offend, we will be offended." ”
"What witch?"
"We don't know."
"The Zhang family's grandmother was ordered by the second king to let me take in the three of their ancestors and grandchildren."
"Is there such a thing? However, we also came to search on the orders of the two kings. ”
"Then search for it."
A large group of officials went in to rummage through the cabinets and search, and after checking for a while, they found nothing, and said to Zhang Yuanyuan: "Please go with us." ”
Zhang Yuanyuan was finally scared, staring at Song Jiu with her eyes, Song Jiu couldn't hate it, the old lady was kind, but it was her kindness that was taken advantage of, and said: "Zhang Yuanyuan, you can go, I will also go with you, stand outside and listen." ”
The old lady was taken to Kaifeng Mansion, Song Jiu and Yuping stood at the door and looked inside, and when they saw the complainant, Yuping said, "Why is he?" ”
The complainant is Su Laohan. It was him, and the motive for the lawsuit was indeed there.
The children of the Liu and Su families in the river went to Bashu one after another. The whereabouts of the children of the Liu family are unknown, and their whereabouts are still unknown, but Song Jiu knew that he was going to do it, and before leaving, he asked the number of the unit, and after he asked in Bashu, he knew that the soldiers of this battalion rebelled with Lu Han, which was expected by Song Jiu, but whether he was alive or dead Song Jiu didn't know very well. If he is alive and still alive, it is the rebellion of more than 10,000 soldiers, so many soldiers, can Zhao Kuangyin kill them all? This is bad news, after coming back, the Liu family asked again, Song Jiu said that Bashu is big, it is not easy to fight, and he prevaricates in the past.
The Su family also asked Song Jiu to ask, but Song Jiu didn't ask at all. The child of the Su family is only a ten-general, not a general, but a squad leader, who is in charge of ten soldiers, but he sends back so much money, can this money be corrected back and forth? However, I also inadvertently knew that the name of Lu Dao was Wang Quanbin's descendant.
After Song Jiu came back, more and more people knew the truth about Bashu. Most of the people in the river are outsiders, and in the past two years, under the influence of Song Jiu, they have gradually gained a sense of pride and a sense of justice. knew the origin of the Su family's children's money, so he gradually became a little ashamed of the Su family.
Song Jiu didn't persuade either, to be honest, Song Jiu was even more ashamed of this money, he didn't know how many innocent people's lives in Bashu had been contaminated by Lu Dao, and he could use it with peace of mind? Of course, he didn't say much. There are not tens of thousands of soldiers who have made a fortune like this, but there are thousands, who do you say? As long as there is no evidence, there will be no one who will be fine. When it is issued, it is distributed, and the money truly becomes their property. I can't offend so many soldiers.
Also, Zhang Jiayuan usually treats people with a cold face, and some people don't like it.
However, Su Laohan would not deliberately frame Song Jiu, the hatred between the two is not deep, and he may not have the guts, this must be taken advantage of. Thinking of this, Song Jiu quietly watched how Zhao Kuangyi tried the case.
Zhao Kuangyi asked sharply first, and Zhang Yuanyuan saw that Song Jiu had been watching outside, and he was a little bolder, and he didn't admit it. Zhao Kuangyi ordered a flogging and whipped twenty times, but the old lady still didn't admit it, and Zhao Kuangyi shouted: "Twenty more canes." ”
This is not a flogging, it is a cane, although it is not a big board blindly performed on TV, it is also a three-foot-long bamboo cane made of bamboo chips, which is heavy and will still open the skin and flesh with each stroke.
Twenty canes came down, and the old lady fainted, poured cold water, and woke the old lady, but the old lady still refused to admit it. Yuping said: "The Zhang family has suffered this time. ”
Song Jiu said in a low voice: "This is the second king's intention to make her suffer. ”
It's a good time to live comfortably in the Song family, but if you are doing anything, can Zhao Kuangyi be happy, you must know that there are still many people in the world who have not even solved the problem of food and clothing!
Zhao Kuangyi asked the head catcher and the officer, and answered no one by one. Zhao Kuangyi looked at Su Laohan, his face was gloomy, until now, he didn't know that the Su family had children in the barracks, but this incident made Zhao Kuangyi very unhappy. Not to mention anything else, Song Jiu's contribution to Hezhong is obvious to all, and if you don't count the rich and noble area, Hezhong will soon become the best civilian area in the capital. As a common man in the river, he sued the descendants of the Song Jiu family for making witch Gu, how could he bear it. He said coldly: "Su Dashan, you slandered the people of witch Gu, what crime did you know?" ”
"The two kings, the small ones are not slandered. I didn't believe that Zhang Beiyuan could be summoned to come over for questioning, she said it to me personally, saying that Zhang Yuanyuan raised puppets at home to burn incense and prick them with needles. ”
Yuping was furious when she heard it outside: "Su Lao Weng is really shameless, and the four-year-old child must also be slandered." ”
"Yuping, this trick is ruthless, if the adults won't admit it, the child will ask for it as soon as he coaxes it." (To be continued......)
