Chapter 68: The Last Evidence
There was a hint of interest between the eyebrows of the king of the same county, and he spoke: "Since this is the case, then we won't bother much, after all, I can't interfere in this matter." ”
Yu Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, laughed with the king of the county, grabbed the stamen and was about to leave, but the stamen said to Yu Mingzhu: "Tu Sanniang has returned to Suzhou." ”
Yu Mingzhu was pleasantly surprised, and she asked, "Where is the master now?" ”
Hua Rui shook her head: "I don't know, I just heard from my former friends." ”
After Hua Rui finished speaking, he left with the king of the county.
At this time, only Yu Mingzhu and Gu Huaiming were left upstairs.
Tu Sanniang is Yu Mingzhu's fist and foot master, and she is good friends with Yu Mingzhu's mother, and she is a very hearty woman.
Yu Mingzhu just thought about Tu Sanniang, but she didn't notice the change in Gu Huaiming's expression beside her.
Gu Huaiming grabbed Yu Mingzhu's hand tightly and said in a deep voice, "Have you slept well these days?" ”
Yu Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, and she subconsciously replied, "I slept well." ”
A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Gu Huaiming's mouth: "I couldn't sleep well all night, I always didn't understand before, but I understand now." ”
Yu Mingzhu struggled to squeeze out a smile.
"What does the husband want to understand?"
Gu Huaiming looked at the magnificent river in the distance, and said in a low voice: "I understand that Madame has never had me in her heart." ”
Yu Mingzhu suddenly wanted to laugh when she heard this, she opened her mouth and said: "The husband actually said such things, the words written in the words of those talented and beautiful women can't be true, where is there a ...... between husband and wife?"
Gu Huaiming never gave Yu Mingzhu a chance to explain again.
"Madame, needless to say."
The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Yu Mingzhu thought of the bits and pieces of her previous life with Gu Huaiming.
Every gesture of favor she made to Gu Huaiming would eventually turn into a sharp blade stripping her dignity.
"Okay, let's talk about love instead of love, let's talk about business."
Gu Huaiming's eyes were a little cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Qingfeng Guan has built an embroidery building, in the style of a northern bunker, and it seems that a Miss Wen family has lived. ”
Yu Mingzhu vaguely remembered that Yu Baoren's biological mother Wen had been married to Yu Zheng since she was a child, because her parents were dead, leaving thousands of family fortunes, and she was taken to Suzhou by her husband's family, and built an embroidery building in the Qingfeng View of Xiaoqingshan in Suzhou.
Wen entered the embroidery building at the age of six, married Yu Zheng at the age of sixteen, and was raped by his father-in-law Yu Baishun at the age of twenty.
Yu Mingzhu followed behind Gu Huaiming with an umbrella for herself, and walked to the embroidery building located in the mountain behind Qingfeng Guan.
There are cliffs on both sides here, the terrain is extremely dangerous, only to see a three-story embroidery building standing here, because it is a northern style, the doors and windows are very small, only two small windows due south, and there are stairs leading to the embroidery floor on the side.
The staircase is so narrow that only one person can pass through.
When Yu Mingzhu entered the room, he found that it seemed to have been burned, and the walls were still black.
The first floor is where the servants and maids live, which is very simple, and there is a small kitchen, the second floor is the living room, and the third floor is the boudoir of the Wen family.
Yu Mingzhu thought that the boudoir should be very rich, after all, the Wen family is also a big family in the northwest, but the whole boudoir is very peaceful, if she is allowed to live here all the year round, I am afraid that she will suffocate to death.
Yu Mingzhu took the clumsy fire and looked around, although it had not been lived for a long time, except for being a little dilapidated, there was nothing else weird.
"There's nothing in this embroidery building that needs to be opened, what's the use of this key?"
Gu Huaiming said in a low voice: "I don't know, the last Tangshan banquet, I also occasionally heard a little Taoist priest mention that there was a northwest noble lady who lived in the Qingfeng Temple before, and this key is the style of the northwest." ”
Yu Mingzhu took the key, she wondered if there would be a secret door, so she knocked on the wall everywhere, but found nothing abnormal.
Yu Mingzhu sighed, and when she was about to speak, she suddenly remembered a thunderstorm, and the dim room was instantly illuminated by lightning, and Yu Mingzhu seemed to see a woman by the dark window.
She was so frightened that she threw herself into Gu Huaiming's arms.
"Someone!"
Gu Huaiming took the candle and shone it towards that place, and found that it was just a water trace, which happened to shine a little like a person.
He stretched out his hand and touched the wall, only to feel that there was a gust of wind blowing, he found a brick, and knocked it towards the brick joint, Yu Mingzhu also followed suit, and the result was under the clang.
The wall actually cracked, and there was a door inside, and Gu Huaiming opened the door.
There was a black hole inside, and the wind was blowing out.
Yu Mingzhu was a little scared and didn't dare to go inside, Gu Huaiming turned sideways and went directly, he said to Yu Mingzhu: "You wait for me here." ”
Hearing this, Yu Mingzhu hurriedly shook his head.
"I'll go with my husband."
Gu Huaiming grabbed Yu Mingzhu's hand, Yu Mingzhu thought that this hole was very big, but in fact it was very small, only walked a few steps to the end, there was a shrine at the end, there was a statue of the god on it, there were many candles and tributes, Gu Huaiming lit the candle, Yu Mingzhu suddenly jumped.
I saw a coffin in this small cave, didn't they find Wen's coffin?
But this Wen family seems to be buried in the ancestral tomb of the Yu family, and it should not be Wen's body in this coffin.
Gu Huaiming put the candle aside and pushed the coffin away.
Yu Mingzhu opened her eyes wide and looked inside, only to see a blue-black woman lying inside, and a bad smell permeated it.
Gu Huaiming hurriedly covered the coffin and whispered: "This person was filled with mercury alive, and the living were filled with mercury to keep the body from rotting." ”
Yu Mingzhu's expression was a little sluggish, and she said in a low voice: "The person here is Chen Xiaohong." ”
Chen Xiaohong, why is she in Wen's embroidery room?
Gu Huaiming walked to the statue, he took a candle and looked at the statue carefully, and then said softly: "This seems to be Cigu Guanyin?" ”
Cigu Guanyin is an evil god of the southern Fujian generation, it is said that she was the prefect's concubine of the previous dynasty, who was poured mercury by her husband's family and died, and turned into an evil god after her death, and was believed by many prostitutes and lower-class women, and is said to help believers take revenge.
Gu Huaiming took out a letter from under the throne.
It reads: Yu Baoren personally opened.
The two read the letter under the statue of the evil god.
After reading it, Yu Mingzhu only felt a little sad in her heart.
According to the letter, Chen Xiaohong, who was lying in the coffin, drank mercury voluntarily.
Lao Taijun imprisoned Chen Xiaohong and Wen in the Wen family's embroidery building, one was to threaten Yu Baishun, and the other was to hold the Su family hostage, but later because of something, she had to kill Chen Xiaohong and Wen, so she sent someone to set a fire in this embroidery building.
Chen Xiaohong and Wen had no way out.
So Chen Xiaohong made a deal with Wen, and Chen Xiaohong used her own life and corpse as her last evidence.
And Wen used his life to pave the way for Yu Baoren.
