The two beggars glanced at each other, and then neatly fell their gazes on the loose silver in Xing Ruyi's hand. One of them swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked, "Is this serious, madame?" ”

"Is this silver fake?"

"No fake, no fake!"

The beggar shook his head and stretched out his dirty hand to get the silver, but Xing Ruyi closed his hand.

The beggar looked at the closed door of the Wang family and said, "Our brothers know the affairs of the Wang family best. Don't hide it from Madame, this Wang family is haunted. ”

"What's the haunting?"

"I heard that the aunt who died is making trouble. In the past few days, the Wang family has invited no less than three groups of monks. The beggar stretched out three fingers: "But this monk, let alone chanting scriptures to exorcise ghosts, almost didn't let the ghosts here be scared to death." ”

"Monks are also afraid of ghosts?"

"A monk is not a fairy, how can he not be afraid of ghosts." The beggar copied his hand and pursed his lips: "It is said that this ghost is very powerful, not only when he comes out at night, but also in the house during the day." You have seen this gate, and it is tightly sealed, not because we outsiders are afraid that we outsiders will enter, but because we are afraid that the evil spirits from there will come out. If the lady doesn't believe me, she can look through the crack in the door. Behind the door, there is a talisman paper. ”

"Isn't the rune paper a thing used by Taoist priests?"

"This monk doesn't work, so don't you have to invite a Taoist priest to come."

"Yes, yes, I have also seen the Taoist priest invited by the Wang family." Another beggar replied, "When the Taoist priest came, I squatted at the corner of the street and begged for food, and I saw it with my own eyes." An old man with white hair and a white beard, who looks quite powerful. Master Wang, who is usually so picky, is actually willing to let the old Taoist priest ride in the carriage. ”

"After the Taoist priest came, was the evil ghost of the Wang family ever accepted?"

"If it's easy to be taken in, what kind of evil ghost is it? However, this Taoist priest is more effective than those monks. Although he did not take the evil spirit, he was not frightened out. Well, I still live in the Wang family. ”

"Since the house is haunted, why doesn't this old man take his family to find another place to live?"

"Madame, do you think this old man doesn't want to? He couldn't go, and he didn't dare to go. It is said that the aunt said that whoever left the house would die. ”

"Do you know how this aunt died?"

"What's this?" The beggar tugged at his ears, and his eyes fell on Xing Ruyi's closed hand.

Xing Ruyi spread out his hand, picked up two small pieces of silver from them, and threw one into each of the two beggars' bowls. The beggar grabbed the silver and quickly hid it in his bosom, and then spoke again.

"This new aunt is said to have been killed by the second lady of the Wang family."

"Is there any evidence?"

Madame asked, how could there be evidence for such a thing. If there was evidence, the lord of the Wang family would have sent the second lady to the yamen a long time ago, so why do you need to worry about the haunting of the Wang family. ”

"If there is no evidence, how can I believe that what you just said is not made up by yourself to cheat me out of money." Xing Ruyi made a gesture to put away the broken silver. One of the beggars was in a hurry, and hurriedly stood up and waved his hand.

"Although there is no evidence, we are not talking nonsense. This news came from the house of their Wang family. ”

"Tell me about it."

"Since Madame has come to inquire about the affairs of this Wang family, she must have some understanding. The Wang family currently has only one young master. This young master was born to the second lady, but he was raised in front of the eldest lady, and he has been close to the eldest lady since he was a child. When I saw my own biological mother, although I also called a mother, there was a word [two] in front of this mother. Madame thinks about it, if this matter is replaced by Madame, will you not be happy? ”

"There's nothing unpleasant. is a concubine herself, and when the child is sent to the long house, she changes from a concubine to a concubine, which is only beneficial and harmless to the child itself. ”

"Madam is generous, but the second lady of the Wang family doesn't necessarily think so." The beggar touched his nose: "Although the eldest lady of the Wang family occupies a [big] character, she has nothing to do." This [庶] son, even with the word [Shu], is the only son of the Wang family. The huge inheritance of the Wang family in the future can only be handed over to this child. ”

"That seems to make sense. Do you know what disease this eldest lady of the Wang family suffers from, and why she has no children? ”

"It's complicated to say."

"Is it really complicated, or do you not know it?"

"Joke, there's nothing in this Yong'an City that we don't know." The beggar moved: "This eldest lady of the Wang family was not born with a disease, but was harmed by someone. This harm to the eldest lady is none other than the second lady of the Wang family. ”

"As far as I know, these two ladies were the dowry maids of the eldest lady. is a maid, and where does it come from. You two don't just talk nonsense just to covet this little bit of silver. ”

"We swear to God, what we say to Madame today is true, and nothing of it is made up by us. If so, it was made up by someone else. We just happened to hear it, and then we just happened to tell you, Madame. ”

"Well, then I'll trust you for once. Tell me, how did the second lady of the Wang family harm the eldest lady? ”

"This lord of the Wang family used to be a mountain bandit, does this lady know?"

Xing Ruyi shook his head.

The beggar continued: "You don't know when you think of Madame. In fact, there are few people mentioning that the master of the Wang family is a mountain bandit now. To the west of our Yong'an City, there is a mountain, which the locals call Grandma Mountain. Madame, don't sound like this name, in fact, it's because there is a grandmother's temple on the mountain. It is said that the grandmother in this temple is very effective and can guarantee marriage.

This old man Wang was born at the foot of this grandmother's mountain, and his family is very poor, but this old man Wang is a person with ideas. As soon as he turned thirteen, he led a group of people to the mountains and became mountain bandits. specializes in robbing those good men and women who go up to the mountains to seek marriage. This eldest lady of the Wang family has a very good background, I heard that the ancestor is an official and has a wealthy family. When the eldest lady of the Wang family turned sixteen years old, her father and mother also took her to Grandma's Mountain to ask for marriage. It just so happened that he was seen by the master of the Wang family. ”

"This master of the Wang family has robbed someone's house?"

"There are also those who dare to rob and those who dare not rob. This eldest lady of the Wang family belonged to the object that the lord of the Wang family did not dare to rob at that time. Because people have a big business, even if they go up the mountain, they also bring a lot of families. So, the old man of the Wang family came up with an idea. ”

"What's the idea?"

"He, he secretly used money to buy off the maid next to the eldest lady of the Wang family, which is now the second lady of the Wang family."

"Bought the maid?"

"Well, that's what the rumor says. said that the master of the Wang family has been worried about it since he met the eldest lady. But he is a mountain bandit, and he can't marry the eldest lady no matter what. So, he came up with an idea. first used money to buy off the maid next to the eldest lady, and then instigated the maid to mix a box of rouge gouache mixed with poison into the things that the eldest lady used every day.

As a result, within a few days, the eldest lady's face was covered with poisonous sores. As for the person, he has also changed from the original beauty to an ugly monster. The doctor searched again and again, but he couldn't see the root cause. In the end, in desperation, the eldest lady's father and mother had to post a notice in the city and search for famous doctors, saying that as long as the eldest lady's face could be cured, no matter what age the other party was, what kind of business he was engaged in, as long as he was not married, he would marry his daughter to him.

After this notice was posted, the old man of the Wang family, who was still a mountain bandit at the time, dressed up Qiao Zhuang, lied that he was a doctor, and went to treat the eldest lady. Madam, think about it, this poisonous rouge was given by the master of the Wang family, and he was poisoned by himself, so naturally he has an antidote. But the eldest lady didn't know, so she married this person who hurt herself with her own hands in such a daze. ”

"How does this lord of the Wang family treat this eldest lady?"

"Speaking of which, this lord of the Wang family is still quite good to the eldest lady. However, it is not surprising that if there is such a beauty who marries me with thousands of family fortunes, I will also be good to her. The beggar stretched out his arm.

"What does this matter have to do with the fact that the eldest lady of the Wang family has no children?"

"It's a big deal." The beggar glanced at the Wang family: "Not long after this marriage, the eldest lady of the Wang family was happy." Unfortunately, the child was in the womb for less than three months and then it was gone. When I looked at the doctor, I said that it was because Mrs. Wang had been poisoned before. Although the face was cured, the poison remained in the bones and blood, and it was impossible to give birth to children.

Master Wang couldn't regret it, and slapped himself in the face a few times in front of the eldest lady, saying that it was all his own fault. The eldest lady didn't know the truth and felt sorry for her husband, so she stopped her. was worried that he had mistaken the incense of the Wang family, and gave his dowry maid to the master of the Wang family as a second room.

But this old man of the Wang family knows it in his heart. After getting drunk once, he actually told everything he had done. Since then, the eldest lady of the Wang family has been separated from the master, and she doesn't even want to see him.

The lord of the Wang family has a deep affection for the eldest lady, no matter how much the eldest lady dislikes him, he is very good to the eldest lady. So much so that the eldest lady killed her own child, and he did not pursue it. Not only did he not pursue it, but he also gave another child to the eldest lady to raise. ”

"Wait a minute, what does it mean that the eldest lady killed her own child, and he won't pursue it?"

"Madam, you probably don't know that the second lady of the Wang family also gave birth to a son earlier. But this son died not long after. It is said that this little boy did not die young, but was killed by the angry eldest lady. Speaking of which, this is also a life for a life.

The lord of the Wang family was ashamed, so he naturally did not pursue it. As for the two ladies, what they think in their hearts, we don't know. Nine times out of ten, if you want to pursue it, you can't pursue it. ”

"When you think about it, it's all a thing of the past. The grievances between the eldest lady and the second lady of the Wang family can't be involved in the new aunt, right? This new aunt will not be killed by the master of the Wang family, right? ”
