Ninety-five: The death of my brother
Aunt Yun spread a blanket on the stone bench, afraid that I would catch a cold while I was asleep. Then my uncle gently put me on it. He put a dried flower pillow under his head, and the fragrance hit.
It was a strange sleep.
Obviously he was dreaming with his eyes closed, but he knew all the movements around him.
Including, the conversation of the elders.
It turned out that when his brother was in Beijing as Yulin Lang General, he was Uncle Yun's housekeeper in the old house, and after his brother's accident, he did not report the news, let alone report the case, and actually ran away privately......
Daddy was so angry that he asked him, "Why didn't you know that you would disappear without saying a word?" Is my son's death related to you? Since he fled, why did he return to Beijing later and try to defect to Zuo Xiang. ”
Yun Bo's tone was ashamed: "My lord, you listen to the humble position and speak slowly. ”
"In August of the year of the Emperor's reign, I remember clearly that the day was no longer hot, but the son had been greedy for cold, taking a cold bath and drinking iced tea every day, and a few days before the accident, there were still some colds. That night there was a sudden heavy rain, and the mother-in-law at home thought that her son-in-law would come back from work, and she was afraid that she would get wet, so she also prepared ginger tea for her son. However, wait, wait, and when the time came, I didn't see my son come home. ”
"I went out with the two little guys to look for it, but we didn't see anything. I thought to myself, after all, it was a young brother, maybe he was playing in the wine shop gambling game, and he didn't worry too much. Alas! ”
"Early the next morning, someone in the alley outside began to talk about a few wisps of blood left on the wall! I panicked, immediately inquired around, inquired for a long time, and asked Beiya only to find out that today's son had not taken leave but was absent, and Zhonglang General was also taking him around. ”
Turning back, I went to his room to rummage around, hoping to know some of his usual whereabouts, maybe where to hide. However, it was discovered that he was collecting information and wanted to overturn the old case. It's you, my lord, the case that was degraded. ”
My aunt immediately asked, "But what clues did you get?" ”
Yun Bo Shuangli replied: "Every time Gongzi checks a place, he has notes, and under the cocoon, he finds a person. Specifically, it is a monk who has just been shaved for a long time, commonly known as Pan Youquan. ”
I was shocked, and I immediately remembered Master Yaga!
Yun Bo continued, "I continued to scroll down to my notes. Childe re-analyzed the famous "caracal case" back then. ”
Well? Caracal case? Something to do with caracals?
"That's what the old case file was like that at the time. Zhang Yushi and Chen Zhubo drank in the middle of the night in Zhangjiabian Hall. The next day, Zhang's family reported the case, saying that Zhang Yushi's neck was injured by a sharp weapon and cut off half of his neck. There were also multiple wounds on the rest of the body. ”
"According to the time of the crime, the scene, the physical evidence, and the autopsy. All the incriminating evidence points to Chen Zhubo. And the murder weapon, which is believed to be a curved hook sickle, was found in Chen's family kitchen. ”
"The lord sentenced Chen Zhubo to be decided. On the second day of the execution, another member of the Zhang family was injured, still the same wound, but this time there were witnesses who stopped the murderer in time. And the murderer turned out to be a little leopard-like caracal cat! The whole family worked together to round up and finally killed the caracal with an arrow. ”
As a result, the Chen family did not follow. The Taifu Sicheng, who was in charge of the imperial court and horse politics, was also the Chen family. So he wrote a letter to impeach the adult. Later, everyone also knows. ”
Yun Bo coughed a few times, as if he was not in good health, and continued: "And the clues found out by Gongzi are one: this monk Pan Youquan turned out to be a guest of the Chen family earlier. Second: Legend has it that this caracal only obeys the orders of the "Geshu clan", and the people of this clan have an extremely easy distinguishing characteristic. It was its little toenails, not as complete as ours, they were split in two, split in the middle, and formed in two lobes. And the monk, that way. ”
When my uncle heard this, he slammed his fist on the table: "How can this be reasonable." Brother Fan was indeed carrying everyone behind his back at that time, and his whereabouts were mysterious. It turned out that he secretly found out this dangerous thing, and even I hid it! Now it seems that I am afraid that this demon monk managed to destroy his mouth! ”
Daddy's voice trembled: "Since you know this, why did you say it today?" ”
Yun Bo wiped a handful of snot: "My lord! The lowly position is indeed greedy for life and afraid of death, but I am afraid that the murderer will kill me along with me, so I fled immediately. But when he left, he hid the clue box, just to wait for the limelight to pass. Moreover, it is not completely devoid of consideration for adults. Childe is gone, and he cannot be resurrected. Your situation in Liangsu County had just settled down at that time, and with your temperament, you didn't dare to tell you! ”
Aunt Yun took out a box from the house and put it on the table: "This box of Childe's things, Lao Yun has been keeping it as a treasure, just waiting for the day when he will personally return it to the adult." ”
Daddy and Aunt looked at it and sighed a few more times.
I felt it was time to "have my say" and wanted to wake up.
However, if you are stumped by nightmares, you can't get out.
I struggled to stare at my feet, my fingers scratching at the stone bench.
At this time, I heard Aunt Yun laugh and said, "Look at it, look at it, the little girl is having hysteria." ”
Then a circle of people burst into laughter.
My uncle came over and pinched my nose: "Hey, wake up, wake up." ”
I was so uncomfortable that I couldn't wake up.
I heard my uncle shouting, "Ah, there is a snake! ”
I sat up with a wow, kicking my hands and feet, "Where, where?" Chase the snake away! Get out of the way! ”
Aha......ha
Woowoowoo......
My wails were drowned out by their laughter.
Realizing that I had been tricked, my little fist slammed into my uncle again: "The big iron bull will also deceive people!" ”
My uncle pretended to be beaten by me, and shouted, "Who told you to be afraid of snakes?" Oops, oops, it hurts to death, kills! ”
My aunt pulled me back and gave me a haircut from sleep. I took the box left by my brother and looked at it.
"Hey, why isn't there a portrait of the monk Pan Youquan? He only said that he was seven feet tall (one meter seven), standing at the end of his life, with a round face, eyebrows like a dragon, and a head like an olive......"
I burst into drool laughing instantly!
Am I following my brother's sense of humor?!
I looked at my aunt: "Auntie, do you think that this monk is very similar to Master Yaga in the palace?" ”
My aunt's neck was slightly tilted, and she looked thoughtful: "When you say this, it's really similar." Venerable Nayaga is nearly fifty years old, and his age is right. Although he is fat and strong now, he ...... Oh, the top of the head is obvious. ”
I continued to ask, "How is the Ximing Temple being built now?" ”
My aunt said: "After negotiating the land dispute with Shang Shuling's Yang family, now the drawings have been released, and the Ministry of Industry is vigorously supervising the construction. Why do you ask this? ”
I lowered my eyes, estimating the credibility of the Yun family in my heart, and felt that it was better to talk to my aunt and father alone, so I shook my head and only said, "Master Yaga can follow the saint, which shows that his ability is not small. ”
After drinking a cup of tea, Daddy only said that it was getting late, and the old case needed to be investigated slowly, so he was not in a hurry.
So, I took us with me and said goodbye to the Yun family.
Aunt Yun enthusiastically presented several baskets of cherries, saying that her youngest son had just picked them for us, so she smiled and accepted them. If you don't enjoy it in time, and a heavy rain will fall in a few days, and the fruit of this garden will be out of season.
The sun had slanted into the branches, and through the cracks in the trees, it gave its last rays.
The sky and the earth are twilight, and they are dark yellow.
On the return carriage, I hesitated and said, "Daddy, auntie." Dreaming, do you believe it? ”
I grafted the letter from the twin flames into the dream.
"What dream?" The two elders spoke in unison, with the same expression.
I was squatting on the ground, burying my hand in the rice grains purchased by the coachman to play, looking up at them, I had a good feeling~
I couldn't bear to interrupt the atmosphere.
After remembering this moment with my heart, I whispered: "I dreamed that my brother's body was buried deep under the tower tablet of Ximing Temple......"
Daddy and Auntie's eyes widened.
My uncle leaned over and touched my forehead: "Little dodder, could it be that I fell asleep under the tree just now and blew the wind and had a fever?" ”
I took his hand away, "Oops, no, no. It's true! Anyway, the drawings of Ximing Temple are also available, and they are under construction, so you might as well ask the Ministry of Engineering to try it! ”
My aunt disagreed, and reprimanded me: "Can this be believed? Purify your Aya! ”
Daddy raised his hand: "Eh, since you dreamed of it, there must be a cause!" In the end, if you can get the crane to move into the ancestral grave, you have to try it if you have a little hope. ”
Crane~
I just saw it in my brother's transcript that my brother's name is Fan Zhonghe.
I was stunned in my heart, the crane among the people, the talent of the people, how much hope Daddy had poured into his brother!
Unlike me, a "jade rabbit" only needs to become the well-behaved little white rabbit in Chang'e's arms.
- I have a faint feeling that this is the case with the number of primary life spirits that I have been given.
