Lingqiu County Ya through the second hall, the door erected a brick carving interstitial screen, bypass, is an empty courtyard, opposite three main rooms, left and right wings, is the inner courtyard of the county Ya, Jiang Zhonglin's inner family residence.

Jiang Zhonglin's wife, Wang, is forty and two years old this year, and she has never given birth. After each of the three concubines in the family gave birth to a daughter, there was no good news.

Jiang Zhonglin is nearly fifty years old, and now he has become a man in one fell swoop, he should be happy.

Two red lanterns are hung under the eaves of the main room, and the three main rooms are also lit with bright candles. The lady's bedroom was in the second room on the left, and at this time, she was wrapped in a forehead on her head, wearing a family jacket, and was crooked on the bed, and beside her lay a chubby baby boy, weighing about seven or eight pounds, fatter than a full-moon child.

There were three pots of charcoal fire on the ground, and an incense burner in the middle burned sandalwood, and the incense mist was swirling.

Jiang Zhonglin sat on the round stool in front of the bed, put his hands on his knees, stared at the baby, and didn't know what he was thinking?

After a while, a mother-in-law came in and brought Wang a bowl of white fungus soup, Wang got up and took it, took two sips, and asked, "How is the Li family?" ”

The mother-in-law Qian was brought by the Wang family from her mother's family, and she usually only listened to the Wang family's orders, and she didn't even look at Jiang Zhonglin with a straight eye, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, what big waves can just a few little minions set off?" She glanced at the baby, "This child is really lucky, he can be reincarnated in the name of his wife, in the future, who doesn't envy his wife?" ”

The words "Toad Palace Zhegui" seemed to have a kind of magic, and Jiang Zhonglin woke up suddenly.

Wang glanced at him and said with a smile, "If you really borrow your auspicious words, it is also the ancestral tomb of the Jiang family that is smoking, master, do you say?" ”

"Ah, yes, yes!" Jiang Zhonglin walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and carefully picked up Lin'er, the child slept very deeply, his eyes were not opened, his brows were furrowed, and his little nose was a little collapsed, Jiang Zhonglin felt that everything was like himself.

"Master, this child will be my child from now on. It was in vain that I conceived and gave birth to him in October. At the beginning, I knew that it must be a son, and sure enough, I didn't make a mistake. Wang leaned on Jiang Zhonglin's body, "Master, I don't care about others, just the child of the Jian family, although he is young, on the matter of Wang Pu's killing, I feel that it is really better than blue." ”

"I let Zhou Shao take a look, although Jian Chong has fallen into this realm, I heard that there are still big people who went to look for him two days ago, don't act rashly. Last time, it was already dangerous. ”

"Didn't you spare him his life? Originally, I just didn't want him to interfere in today's affairs, but who knows, an old one went and a small one came. Wang said disapprerovingly.

The child cried, and Jiang Zhonglin's hands trembled with fright.

Wang hurriedly brought the child over, she had no milk to coax the child, so she hugged and trembled. Qian soon came in and went out with the baby in his arms to feed the nurse.

At the door of the house, Menzi reported at the door that Master Zhou was back. Jiang Zhonglin hurriedly went out, in the second hall, Zhou Shao was already waiting, and when he saw Jiang Zhonglin coming in, he saluted and said, "Master, although Jian Qizuo is young, he has a lot of knowledge, and he has found out that the baby girl who died next to Li Zhang's side is not the son of Li Zhang's womb." ”

No one knows, the shock in Jiang Zhonglin's heart at this time, he also has to admire his ruthless lady even more.

Wang's father is only a head of the military department, and Wang is still a concubine.

Back then, Jiang Zhonglin went to Beijing to seek a job, and by chance, he was at the same wine table with Wang's father, and it was Zhou Wanjie, the head of the Ministry of Officials, who matched him with his son-in-law. At that time, Jiang Zhonglin asked for Zhou Wanjie's name, which cost a lot, and still used the name of Jiang Zhonglin's deceased mother Zhou, and Zhou Wanjie was a relative of the same clan who made eighteen turns.

For the sake of Zhou Wanjie's face, and for his own future, Jiang Zhonglin, a poor man who tried and failed many times and couldn't afford to marry in the end, married Wang, a second-married daughter who divorced her husband and her.

The reason for Wang's reconciliation and separation, Jiang Zhonglin inquired before marrying Wang, Wang's infertility.

"He's a fourteen-year-old kid, what does he know? This case still has to be investigated well, and the autopsy is still to ask someone to go to Guangling County to ask someone to come over and have a good examination. Jiang Zhonglin took a deep breath, "Alas, Jian Chong is really sick at a bad time, who knows that once he is sick, there will be so many things in the county, it is precisely in response to the words 'eventful autumn'." ”

Zhou Shao observed his words, although he had many doubts in his heart, but he did not ask. It's just that he said to Jiang Zhonglin that Jian Qing was a child, and he was very unimpressed. When he and Jian Qing came out of Li Shi's house, they drank tofu brain on the side of the road, and listened to Jian Qing talk about the world's articles.

"Yes!" Zhou Shao unconsciously became interested in this case.

But after coming out of the second hall, Zhou Shao still obeyed Jiang Zhonglin's instructions and asked Niu Er to pick two people to go to Guangling County, which is closest to Lingqiu County, to borrow a piece of work to conduct an autopsy.

Jian Qing stepped into the door and happened to meet Zhou Shen coming out of it, "Brother Zhou, you didn't sleep last night, and you have to go to the building so early?" ”

Zhou Shenzheng lowered his head and thought about it, he was taken aback by Jian Qing, and when he saw that it was her, he hurriedly smiled and said, "It's Brother Jian, you're back, what's going on with Li Bantou's house first?" ”

"All doors are destroyed!" Jian Qing stared at Zhou Shen, his tone was very regretful, "I don't know what happened to Li Bantou, my family suffered this catastrophe, I really grew so big, I have never heard of it." ”

"How old is Brother Jane? It is said that karma in the world is not happy, presumably, he must have done something, right? Zhou Shen patted Jian Qing's shoulder gently, "You go back and have a good rest, you can check it if you can, and you don't have to think too hard." ”

"That's it!" Jian Qing didn't think so, and when he saw that Zhou Shen was leaving, he hurriedly shouted, "Brother Zhou, the glazed vertical screen in the flower hall on the east side of the Langyu Building used to be placed with its back to the west window, and the day we went, it was moved to the door, right?" ”

"Huh?" Zhou Shen was caught off guard for a moment and asked, "Brother Jane, how do you know?" ”

"Brother Zhou just said yes, right?"

Jian Qing stared at his eyes, and a trace of panic flashed in Zhou Shen's eyes, "That, I don't know very well." ”

"Didn't you move it, Brother Zhou?"

"This, who said this? Aunt Xiu told you? ”

"It's not." Jian Qing refused to say more, and asked again, "Brother Zhou, I heard Aunt Xiu say that early on Saturday and Sunday mornings, the bustard asked Brother Zhou to clean the Donghua Hall, is there such a thing?" ”

"Early in the morning on the sixth day of the first lunar month, the old bustard said that the flower hall had not been cleaned for a long time, and the roof was dusty, so let us clean it." Zhou Shen scratched his head, this matter, if he asked, he could ask it, he had to confess.

"Who cleaned the roof?" Jian Qing asked.

"It's me and Li Er." Zhou Shen was a little uneasy, "What's wrong?" Any questions? ”

Jian Qing looked at Zhou Shen a little sadly, "Brother Zhou, I know, it's nothing, you can go!" ”

The second monk Zhou Shenzhang was confused, he scratched his head and left with a lot of worries.

Jian Qing turned his head, glanced at Zhou Shen, turned left, and entered his own door. Her mother was making breakfast and called Jian Qing to come back to eat, "Your brother just finished eating and went to the school, you hurry up and eat a little, it's cold for a while." ”

Jian Qing asked, "Where's Dad?" ”
