Chapter 226: I Heard Me Wrong
There was no sound behind the screen, and there was a sudden silence all around, deathly silent.
A fear that he had never felt before rose from the bottom of Nie Zhengqi's heart, at first it was nothing, but when he realized it, this feeling spread like a dense fog in the mountains.
He remembered that when he was five years old, he fainted again because of illness, he woke up in a daze, but his eyelids were so heavy that he couldn't open them, and his mother's voice sounded in his ears: "Poor child, it was my mother who harmed you, my mother should not have given birth to you and let you suffer from illness, my mother regretted it, I regretted it." ”
He has been sick since he was a child, but God has not given up on him, he is very smart, smarter than other children of the same age. He rarely saw his father, and for a while, he thought that his father lived somewhere else, and later learned that he and his father lived under the same roof, but his father never came to his and his mother's yard, and only during the New Year's holidays, would he go with them to the Qingwang Mansion and the Ping'an Marquis Mansion.
Sometimes, he can't even remember what his father looked like.
In this way, several years later, when he was eight years old, suddenly one day, his mother called him over, and he found out that there was another person in the house, Nie Zhengqi had seen this person, this was his father's aunt, who often came to ask his mother for peace, and the aunt was originally the mother's eldest maid, and later was opened by his mother and given to his father.
The mother's voice was calm, and she said to her aunt, "Tell your son what you just said to me, and repeat it to her son." ”
The aunt was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "County Lord, this is an adult's business, and the son is still young." ”
The mother sneered and said, "He is my son, he must know." ”
The aunt was helpless, so she had to say: "The master is on guard everywhere for the concubine, the concubine was originally not close to the master's body, but the day before yesterday I often brought a person, the person hurriedly entered the master's study, the concubine felt that the person was a little familiar, as if he had seen it before, so he quietly hid behind a piece of Taihu Lake stone, and after a while, the old man took the person out again, this time the concubine saw clearly, that person was the Taoist priest who saw the county lord back then, but he was dressed as a layman, no wonder the concubine did not recognize it at first. The concubine was startled, worried that she had seen it wrong, and remembered that the Taoist priest was a six-fingered priest back then, so she asked Chunling to find his brother and ask his brother to quietly follow the man to see clearly. ”
Chunling is her aunt's maid, and she was originally from her mother's side.
"After waiting for more than half an hour, Brother Chunling came back, he said that he followed the man all the way, the man came out of the house, he was very careful, went around a few circles, and entered a ticket number, Brother Chunling also followed in, but saw that the man took the silver ticket and exchanged it for cash, a full five hundred taels, Brother Chunling quietly stuffed the silver to the guy of the house, and the guy said that the man was a six-fingered."
When the aunt said this, she was interrupted by her mother, who said, "You tell the son again, what did that Taoist priest do back then?" ”
The aunt gritted her teeth and said: "When the county lord was pregnant with his son, he looked very good, one day the lord brought a man who could see the fetal image Lang Zhong into the house, and asked Lang Zhong to diagnose the pulse of the county lord, Lang Zhong finished the diagnosis, and said that the county lord was pregnant with a young lady, after Lang Zhong left, the lord sank his face and brushed his sleeves away. The county lord was very sad, thinking that the lord must have disliked her for not being able to get a man in one fell swoop. A few days later, the concubine heard two mothers-in-law in the house talking, one of whom said that she had met a fellow villager sister on the street, and that sister had given birth to four daughters before. After asking the mother-in-law, she found out that the sister was originally pregnant with a daughter, and she took the elixir to replace her son. After the concubine heard this, she said to the county lord, the county lord originally didn't believe it, but the lord didn't have a good face for more than ten days, and the county lord had no choice but to give it a try, so he sent a carriage and a horse, and let the woman go to Henan with the sister, and picked up the Taoist priest who could change men and women in Henan. ”
Speaking of this, my aunt couldn't help but sob: "The recipe that the Taoist priest used for the county lord is called the Qilin Fang, which is said to be an ancestral spiritual recipe, and it is a strange recipe that can transform yin and yang. The county lord took three months, a full three months, and after three months, the county lord's health became worse and worse, and he gave birth to a son in less than a month, and the Taoist priest had long since disappeared. When Childe was two years old, the county lord invited the famous divine doctor Yue Li to treat the childe, and the divine doctor Yue immediately said the name of the Qilin Fang, and said that he could not cure the child's disease, and the county lord's body was also ......"
He was so surprised that he couldn't help but look at his mother, who had not been powdered that day, her face was burnt yellow, but her cheekbones were brown......
He looked at his mother, and his mother was looking at him, and his mother's gaze grew colder and colder, and he was scared, and that was the first time he felt fear.
He gradually figured it out, the Taoist priest appeared again, but he got five hundred taels of silver from his father, and what he got from his father, of course, will not only be this silver, he got it a few years ago, but he spent it and asked for it again.
Ten years later, Nie Zhengqi can still remember the coldness in his mother's eyes that day, and what he can't forget is the coldness.
At this moment, that fear came again, Nie Zhengqi struggled to stand up, grabbed the jade bottle on the small table, raised his neck, and poured all the pills in the jade bottle into his mouth.
The fear gradually faded away, and Nie Zhengqi let out a long sigh of relief.
It's that he is too worried, he doesn't have to be afraid, Huang Cheng and Huang Xiao'an are dead, Xiangzhu and Xiangzhu Niang want to attach themselves to him, they won't betray him, and besides, they have already eaten ghosts and lives, he counts his life, their death date is today, at this time, they should already be two corpses.
And now, my father's outer chamber Li is dead, and even the two dead soldiers who went to kill the mouth are dead.
From this moment on, apart from his mother and him, there was no third person in this world who knew the cause of Nie Yuanshen's death.
That Lee, let's be a scapegoat.
From this moment on, he doesn't have to worry anymore, he has the pill of the carefree son, and his illness will definitely be cured.
He will live a hundred years, and he will show those who think he is a sick man, a person who is better than all of them.
Suddenly, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps, Nie Zhengqi looked over unhappily, these dog minions were making a fuss all day long, what happened this time?
With a bang, the rosewood screen was pushed to the ground, and more than a dozen pairs of boots stepped over the screen and came towards him.
"Shuntianfu takes people, Nie Zhengqi's crime is conclusive, and he will be brought to justice immediately!"
Obviously only one person spoke, but there seemed to be dozens or hundreds of people shouting, did he hear it wrong? Since taking the pill sent by Carefree Child, he has not had auditory hallucinations for a long time.
He must have heard it wrong, it must be, he has been planning for so long, no one can find evidence of him, there is no evidence, Shuntianfu does not dare to arrest him, he is not an ordinary person, he is a royal prince, he is a son of a nobleman......
