At the beginning of the lanterns, in the back alley of Amber Street in the east of the city, Tao Bier took the medicine and gently applied it to the man's arm, and then carefully wrapped a clean veil: "Thank God, it's finally better, not as scary as the previous two days." ”

"Let the lady be frightened", Kang Yiren pulled on his shirt and patted Tao Bier's hand soothingly.

"That old woman doesn't know if she catches it, she hurts people at will in broad daylight, there is really no royal law." Thinking of the situation that day, she was watching in the private room upstairs when her husband was assassinated, and she was really frightened, "Don't you really know that person?" Why did she hurt you all of a sudden? ”

"I really don't know, Bi'er, you have to believe me, anyone in this world can doubt me, but you can't." Kang Yiren grabbed his wife's shoulders and looked at her affectionately, "How could my husband have lied to you, huh?" ”

Looking at these deep eyes, Tao Bi'er smiled softly and shook her head, "I know that my husband treats me sincerely, but that person is too terrible, I don't know if he will find our house." ”

The house where the two live now was purchased by Kang Yiren, and the courtyard of the two entrances is really shabby for Tao Bier's background, but this house was bought by Kang Yiren with his own money, Tao Bier didn't want others to talk about her husband, so in order to maintain his dignity, she was willing to move out with him.

"Don't worry", Kang Yiren soothed, holding his wife in his arms with gloomy eyes, but his tone was gentle and incredible, "You are my life, no matter who it is, I will not let him hurt you." ”

Tao Bier's heart softened, and she hugged her husband and was waiting for Wen Cun to save a while, when she suddenly saw a figure passing outside the window, Tao Bi'er exclaimed "Ah", which frightened Kang Yiren and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Yes...... Someone is outside," Tao Bier pointed out the window, her voice trembling, "I saw a figure. ”

Kang Yiren immediately got up and took the candlestick, walked to the door vigilantly, and looked out through the crack in the door, it was pitch black and there was nothing.

He gently pulled open a small slit, and suddenly a miserable white face suddenly appeared, and bloody eyes stared at him.

"Ah!!h Kang Yiren smashed the candlestick over in horror, and the whole person was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

Tao Bi'er didn't have time to put on her shoes, so she instantly rushed to Kang Yiren's side: "Husband, what is it, is there really a ghost?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Kang Yiren's face was pale, he didn't care about pretending to be gentle, and he yelled at his wife.

When did Tao Bi'er see such a husband, she was extremely aggrieved for a while, and she was frightened, and she was about to speak, but she saw that ghost shadow appeared again, and the miserable white face full of scars was clearly reflected in the moonlight.

Kang Yiren saw this face clearly, it was none other than his wife, who was pushed off the cliff by his own hands, he bounced up from the ground like crazy, and rushed out of the gate with his hands and feet.

"Husband! Husband ......" Tao Bier's distant voice came, and Kang Yiren couldn't care about it at all.

"It's pitiful", Yao Yuanniang's pretended female ghost looked at Tao Bi'er sympathetically, "As soon as there is danger, he will leave you behind and flee by himself." ”

Tao Bier was so frightened that she burst into tears, fell to the ground, and retreated in horror.

Yao Yuanniang stretched out her hand and wanted to help Tao Bi'er up, but she didn't expect that she was so frightened that she rolled her eyes and fainted in the next second.

After a while, Kang Yiren came back with several people, found his wife fainting, woke people up, and asked uneasily: "Bi'er, are you okay?" ”

Tao Bier thought of the female ghost's sentence "leave her down", her heart was sour, and she looked at her husband with complicated eyes, "Why did you leave me, I ran away." ”

Kang Yiren explained anxiously: "I'm going to find someone, and you also saw her, right?" ”

Tao Bi'er felt cold in her heart, turned her head and didn't want to pay attention to the man, at this time, Kang Yiren was not in the mood to coax her, the two sat for a night, and no one spoke again.

After a night of trembling, and finally looking forward to the dawn, Kang Yiren left a sentence to find a master, and then ignored Tao Bier and went out by himself.

The news was transmitted back to the palace, and Yin Lingyuan went to tell the Queen Mother with great interest, only to find out that the emperor was also there when she arrived at Ci'an Palace.

"Just when you came", the Queen Mother shouted with a smile, "The mourning family just told the emperor about Kang Xiucai, but what is the new news?" ”

"That's right, I received a letter from the second brother, and I wanted to tell the queen mother quickly, so I came." Yin Lingyuan said, telling how Yao Yuanniang pretended to be a ghost and was scary.

The Queen Mother was both angry and relieved when she heard this, and she was deeply impressed by Yin Lingyuan's ability to tell stories: "Listening to what you say, it looks like a story sung in a play." ”

"Isn't it bizarre with twists and turns", Yin Lingyuan smiled, "But after all, this is just a small measure, it's just a matter of scaring him, if you really want to punish the crime, you have to be the emperor." As he spoke, he got up and saluted the emperor.

"Hmm", Qi Ye responded lightly, and came down the stairs, "Leave it to Jingzhao Mansion Yin to do it." ”

This matter was heard by heaven, the emperor had an order, and Jingzhao Mansion Yin naturally did not dare to slack off, and immediately began to investigate. Kang Yiren probably never dreamed that he hadn't taken the Spring Festival exam yet, but he first left his name with the emperor, and he couldn't find any masters, so he had no choice but to buy a piece of jade that was said to have been opened and hung around his neck.

At this time, in the Yin Mansion on Amber Street, Yao Yuanniang was sitting next to Tao Bier, scaring Tao Bier like a little quail, trembling and not daring to cry.

"Isn't my face terrifying?" Yao Yuanniang leaned forward expressionlessly, "Look at me." ”

Tao Bi'er was so frightened that she shook her head, when she thought of her terrifying face, her eyes turned black, and she almost fainted, and she didn't know where she went, and Tao Bi'er's heart was full of despair at this moment, desperately twisting her neck and refusing to turn back.

"Are you really a ghost?" Yao Yuanniang simply got up and sat on the other side, grabbed Tao Bi'er's hand without saying anything, and asked her to touch her face, "If I really turned into a ghost, I would have taken the life of my surname Kang!" ”

Tao Bi'er touched the warm skin, which was clearly the body temperature of a person, and said tremblingly: "You, who are you?" Why do you want to harm us? ”

"Harm?" Yao Yuanniang sneered and said quietly: "I am his wife." ”

"Impossible! He himself said that he was not married. ”

Yao Yuanniang sneered: "He lied to you, we are not only husband and wife, but also have a child, but unfortunately, he was killed before he was born." ”

"No, no, it's impossible, husband he won't lie to me." Tao Bier couldn't believe her ears at all, and shook her head desperately.

Yao Yuanniang looked at her pityingly: "Do you want to hear my story?" I used to be as stupid and pitiful as you are now, but now, I fell into this field, and he killed it with his own hands......"

Yao Yuanniang doesn't have any eloquence for storytelling, and naturally she doesn't tell like Yin Lingyuan, but the bloody facts, the words are like a heavy hammer and a drum, knocking on Tao Bier's simple and fragile heart.

"How is that possible? No, it won't! Yao Yuanniang's narration completely overturned Tao Bier's previous cognition, she shook her head in disbelief, tears rolling in her eyes, "Impossible, husband is not that kind of person, he will not be ungrateful, let alone kill!" ”

Yao Yuanniang laughed instead, but it appeared on her hideous face, which was a little uglier than crying: "It's incredible, isn't it?" He pretended to be so good, everyone thought he was a gentleman, who could know, he was a black-hearted, pig-dog thing. ”

Tao Bi'er didn't know what to say except shaking her head, she really couldn't believe that such a thing was done by Kang Yiren. Just when she was suspicious, there was a squeak, it was the courtyard door that was pushed open, and Kang Yiren came back.

Yao Yuanniang dodged and hid in the curtain behind her, and whispered to Tao Bi'er: "As long as I appear, he will still give you up, believe it or not?" ”

Tao Bi'er shuddered, but did not make a sound.

Kang Yiren had regained his usual gentleness and elegance, and seeing that his wife's face was different, he stepped forward and hugged his shoulder: "What, are you still afraid?" Don't be afraid, with a husband here, you won't be hurt in the slightest. ”

Thinking that she was left behind last night, and then looking at Kang Yiren's smiling face at this moment, Tao Bier felt strange and scared, she gently broke away from Kang Yiren's arm and asked, "Who is Yao Yuanniang?" ”

Suddenly hearing this name from his wife's mouth, Kang Yiren's whole person was shocked, and his face instantly turned cold: "Where did you hear it?" ”

Seeing him like this, Tao Bi'er burst into tears: "Is she your wife?" You lied to my father, you lied to me. ”

"Nonsense!" Kang Yiren was annoyed and angry, "Which black-hearted person chews his tongue in front of you!" As soon as the words came out, seeing Tao Bi'er's sad face, she immediately changed back to a gentle look: "Bi'er, you have to believe me, I am your husband, how could I deceive you?" ”

Tao Bier is just simple, but she is not a fool, witnessing Kang Yiren's face-changing kung fu, she feels more and more terrible, who did she marry?

"Then you say, who was the female ghost yesterday, and why were you so scared when you saw her?"

"She described it as terrifying, how can a normal person not be afraid", Kang Yiren coaxed, gently hugging his wife's waist, "Okay, let's not mention that, okay?" I've already figured out that this house is not clean, so let's move to my father-in-law's house for a few days. ”

"You're scared." Tao Bier broke away again.

Kang Yiren's patience was about to run out, so he couldn't help but smile and coax: "Bi'er, let's not make trouble, okay?" Go clean up, and we'll go back. ”

The more the other party was like this, the more suspicious Tao Bi'er felt, she turned around and stared straight into Kang Yiren's eyes: "You are a thief, right?" When you see Yao Yuanniang's face, you think of the evil things you have done, you are a thief, and even I can leave it alone! You killed her, I know, you killed her! ”

"Smack!" Kang Yiren couldn't bear it anymore, and raised his hand to slap him: "Slut! What nonsense! ”

Tao Bier was pampered, where could she stand this slap, and she was directly beaten and fell to the ground.

"I think you're crazy", Kang Yiren said viciously, "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”

Tao Bier took a deep breath, covered her hot face, and this slap knocked out all her hopes.

At this moment, Kang Yiren suddenly felt a strong wind behind his head, he turned around vigilantly, and saw a pen wash flying towards the front door, Kang Yiren could not avoid it, Jun porcelain pen wash smashed on his face, and he screamed in pain, touched his face, and it was hot!

Yao Yuanniang, who was hiding behind the tent, showed her true face: "Husband, don't come unharmed." ”

Kang Yiren was so frightened that he took a few steps back, didn't care about the injury on his face, grabbed the jade hanging around his neck, and roared boldly: "You, don't come here, be careful of your soul flying!" ”

Yao Yuanniang sneered, approached Kang Yiren step by step, grabbed the piece of jade, and dragged it down from his neck. Fell to the ground with a cold face, and said with compassion: "Lord Hades took pity on me and ordered me to ask for my life, Kang Yiren, it's time for you to be retributed." ”

Kang Yiren was so frightened that he didn't have time to distinguish whether it was a person or a ghost in front of him, so he fled out with both hands and feet.

"Kang Yiren! If you dare to go, I'll kill her!" Yao Yuanniang grabbed Tao Bi'er's neck and looked at the man who fled in the desert mockingly.

Kang Yiren didn't hesitate for a minute, pushed open the door and ran away.

"Kang Yiren!" Tao Bi'er shouted, tears slid down her cheeks, and she couldn't scream anymore.

Yao Yuanniang used a stated tone to say a fact, "He, I have given you up again." ”

Tao Bier lay on the ground, broke down and cried, her heart was cold. Yao Yuanniang just glanced indifferently at the woman who was also deceived, and prepared to leave.

only when he walked to the door, he bumped into a team of officials head-on, and in the middle was Kang Yiren, who was struggling by himself.

The leader of the team suddenly saw Yao Yuanniang, who was dressed in white and wearing a cloak, and was also startled, and his hands were pressed on the hilt of the knife, but he saw the other party kneeling down with a puff: "Lord Qingtian, but you are here to be the master of the people's women?" ”

The team leader breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down and looked closely, and asked tentatively, "Are you Yao Yuanniang?" ”

"It's the people's woman."

"So you're not dead!" In the crowd, Kang Yiren's sharp exclamation was heard, and at this moment he finally reacted, Yao Yuanniang was not a powerful ghost at all.

"Shut his mouth!" The team leader rebuked.

"Bold! I'm famous, how dare you...... Hmm...... Hmmmm...... "The servants tore rags and stuffed them into Kang Yiren's mouth, and he couldn't make a sound anymore.

The team leader turned around and motioned for Yao Yuanniang to get up: "Lord Fu Yin has an order, please come with us." ”

"How did Lord Fu Yin know? But do you want to try the case of a civil woman? Yao Yuanniang was a little worried, she witnessed the whole process of the disturbance in front of the cyclamen building that day, and naturally heard Kang Yiren say that a grass farmer like herself had to be punished first if she had a lawsuit with Xiucai.

"There is a life above", the team leader clasped his fists with both hands and pointed to the east, and treated Yao Yuanniang politely: "Madame, don't worry, Lord Fu Yin will not embarrass you, and will handle it impartially and give you justice." ”

Yin Anlu, who had been hiding nearby, came out, and after greeting the officer, he signaled Yao Yuanniang to rest assured: "With Lord Yin of the Mansion in charge, Yuanniang will be wronged, and she can show her snow." ”

Yao Yuanniang immediately turned around, knelt down and kowtowed to Yin Anlu, who hurriedly helped him up, and sent someone to follow Yao Yuanniang to the mansion.

"And then? What happened? "Ci'an Palace, the Queen Mother sat at the top, listening attentively to Yin Lingyuan's storytelling, and at the bottom sat Concubine Rong, Concubine Yi, Concubine Xian, and Concubine Sun...... It is also rare for the harem to gather in the queen mother's palace.

Kang Yiren was arrested, and then all kinds of truths in Xuanping Township were revealed, and the rumors spread all over the city became the talk of the Dijing people after dinner.

When the news reached the palace, the queen mother cared, and the concubines also said as a miracle that this group of women gossiped and did not distinguish between the enemy and me.

"The emperor personally decreed, then Kang Yiren naturally deserved it, and the concubine heard that he had been sentenced to exile." Concubine Yi spoke.

"This kind of pig and dog are not as good, why is there nowhere to behead?" Concubine Rong asked.

"Yao Yuanniang is not dead in the end", Concubine Yi said, "But the emperor said that he would wander for 3,000 miles, be reduced to slavery, and never be allowed to return to Beijing." ”

The Queen Mother nodded: "It's more painful than dying, so what about Kang Tao?" ”

"Reconciled", Concubine Yi said, "It is said that Kang Yiren cried bitterly when he signed and left the book, thinking that he also had some sincerity to Tao Bier. ”

"This Tao Bi'er is also pitiful", the Queen Mother sighed, "A good innocent daughter, she has become like this, and the potter's intestines must be green." ”

"Actually, the potter knew that Kang Yiren had married a wife." Yin Lingyuan said, "It's just that I pity my daughter for being infatuated, and I value Kang Yiren's talent, so I secretly sent him back to his hometown to reconcile with his original wife, and gave him a sum of silver as compensation." Who knew that this Kang Yiren not only swallowed the silver alone, but also used a black hand, intending to kill Yao Yuanniang. The two houses in the back alley of Amber Street were purchased by Kang Yiren with this money, and he lied to Tao Bier that it was the silver money he got from selling his paintings. ”

"This is really ......" The Queen Mother was speechless, the potter's fatherly heart, he wanted his daughter to live well, but he didn't want to end up harming her, Kang Yiren's name was "Yiren" but he was really an unkind and unrighteous person.

"Kang Yiren has never had a child since he married Tao Bier, and he doesn't know if it is not the retribution for killing his own child that day", Concubine Rong said hatefully.

"Speaking of which, the most pitiful thing is the Yao family, who was originally gracious to others, but ended up so miserable." Concubine Yi sighed.

The Queen Mother also sighed deeply, Yin Lingyuan saw that the Queen Mother was quite touched, and took the opportunity to speak: "Queen Mother, the concubine still has a reluctant request." ”

"Let's talk about it", the Queen Mother looked at her, "After all, you found out about this matter, and I can give you a credit here in the mourning family, what reward do you want?" ”

Yin Lingyuan stood up with a smile and was blessed: "Don't reward the concubine, it's just that the concubine has something she wants to ask the queen mother, I don't know...... I don't know if you can say yes. ”

"Let's talk about it", the Queen Mother nodded at her and scolded with a smile: "You are bold, why are you vomiting now." ”

"Concubine Yi is right, this Yao family is really pitiful, the concubine can't rest assured, thinking", Yin Lingyuan paused, and finally said, "I think if I can go out of the palace, I can see it in person, and ask the Queen Mother for permission." ”

"Yo, Yu Jieyu is really relieved, she just left the palace, and she is going out again, is there something good outside the palace, can it be that you hook your sister to go?" Before the Queen Mother could speak, Concubine Rong first mocked lukewarmly.

"Concubine Rong, the Queen Mother, don't you pay attention to proportions when you speak?" Concubine Yi said lightly.

Concubine Rong suddenly felt speechless, and hurriedly got up and saluted and pleaded guilty: "The concubine has lost her words, please forgive the queen mother." She was used to being in front of the concubine, and she didn't pay attention for a while, but by the way, she really regretted it at the moment.

The Queen Mother's expression was still the same, but she didn't see any anger on her face, she waved her hand to call Concubine Rong to calm down, and said to Yin Lingyuan with a smile: "Why don't you worry about the Yao family, the mourning family sees that you can't rest assured that the cyclamen building!" Maybe you've been in the palace for so long, and you've never seen your family, and when you go back to the emperor, you are allowed to go home and have a look. ”
