Bergamot, the name of traditional Chinese medicine.

In autumn, when the fruit has not yet turned yellow or when it turns yellow, it is harvested into thin slices and dried in the sun or at low temperature.

Bergamot is used as medicine, which can be used for liver and stomach qi stagnation, chest and rib distension and pain, less food and vomiting, cough and phlegm, etc., and is a very widely used traditional Chinese medicine in clinical practice.

Bergamot can also be planted in the Central Plains, but I haven't noticed it before, but I didn't expect the people of Nanwang Village to make a fortune by planting this. In this way, Zhang Youfu, the head of Nanwang Village, can be regarded as the first person to lead the villagers to become rich and well-off.

After breakfast, the big brothers went to work.

Xing Ruyi is here, but he has nothing to do.

The rouge shop has just opened, although there was a wave of advertisements in advance, but after all, it was just here, and few people patronized. She has a lazy personality, and she is too lazy to publicize it, and when she saw that there was excitement to see, she went directly back to the shop and caught the fox out.

Because it was a life lawsuit, although no suspicious suspect was caught, the official decided to open a public trial.

"Zhang Youfu, you will describe the situation last night in detail." The official master is still relatively close to the people, and while letting the shutter capture maintain order at the entrance of the government office, he motioned for Zhang Youfu to get up.

"Thank you, Master." Zhang Youfu got up and said: "I got up early today, it was about midnight, before dawn, and I was sleeping at home when I suddenly heard Zhang Donglin shouting outside my house. I knew he was a fool, and his mind was a little unclear, so I didn't want to pay attention to it. But he kept banging on my door and muttering that he had killed someone, killed someone. I felt that something was wrong, so I got up and opened the door, and saw this Zhang Donglin standing in front of the door panting, his hand still tapping on the door of my house. I thought that he was sick again, and wanted to coax him back, but when I looked down, I saw that he was stained with blood, and the blood was still fresh.

As the village chief of Nanwang Village, I can't just go to the Yamen to report to the official because of some blood, and I believe the words of a fool. Therefore, I asked my lady to bring a lamp over, first checked this Donglin up and down to confirm that the blood was not caused by his injury, and then followed him to the ancestral hall in the village.

This ancestral hall is the place where my Zhang family worships the ancestors of the past generations, in addition to the need to sacrifice during the New Year's festival, it is usually only opened at special times. But when I followed Zhang Donglin to our Zhang ancestral hall, I found that the door was open, and there were two bloody palm prints on the door. I took a look at it and felt that the bloody slap print should have been left by Zhang Donglin himself. When I arrived at the ancestral hall, I found a woman lying on the ground, covered in blood. When I got closer, I carefully identified it and recognized it as Zhang Cheng's daughter-in-law, Shen Mingyue. I didn't dare to take a closer look, so I hurriedly dragged Zhang Donglin out of the ancestral hall, locked the door of the ancestral hall first, and then went to the yamen to beat the drum to report the case. ”

"Why lock the door?"

"Back to the master's words, because I don't know how many villagers heard Zhang Donglin's shouting before, I'm worried, I took Zhang Donglin to the government to report the case, what if someone broke into the ancestral hall without knowing and destroyed the scene? It was Zhang Donglin who found Shen Mingyue, a member of my Zhang family, and the dead Shen Mingyue was also the daughter-in-law of our Zhang family. ”

"Chang Tai!" The official called a person out: "You take a few people to follow Zhang Youfu, the village chief of Nanwang Village, to Nanwang Village, and make sure to find out what happened in Nanwang Village last night." Also, why did the deceased Shen Mingyue appear in the Zhang ancestral hall in the middle of the night. Where were her husband and in-laws at the time of the crime? Also, how did this crazy Zhang Donglin appear at the scene of the crime, and whether he was involved with Shen Mingyue's death. ”

Xing Ruyi tiptoed and looked at the catcher named Chang Tai. As soon as I glanced at it, I met his gaze. He doesn't look to be in his twenties, and because of his perennial martial arts practice, his posture is unusually tall. The facial features, although not as stunning and good-looking as the fox when it became a human, are also upright, especially the eyes, as if hiding a sharp knife, make people with ghosts feel chilled when they see it. Fortunately, she was not a person with a ghost in her heart, so she looked back at him in the eyes.

After looking at each other for about half a minute, Xing Ruyi smiled at him a little embarrassed.

Chang Tai led Zhang Youfu and them with an indifferent face, passed through the crowd, and went straight to the direction of Nanwang Village.

Nanwang Village is a small village located in the south of Luoyang City, more than ten miles away from the city. When the group arrived at Nanwang Village, it was already noon.

It was time for dinner, but there was little smoke in Nanwang Village, but there were many people around the door of the locked ancestral hall. An elderly man was persuading those who were watching the excitement, and a middle-aged woman was sitting on the steps of the ancestral hall and crying. According to Zhang Youfu's introduction, the middle-aged woman who was crying was the mother-in-law of the deceased Shen Mingyue, and it was Shen Mingyue's father-in-law who stood aside with his head down and did not say a word. As for Shen Mingyue's husband, he has been staying at home since he was injured two years ago and has not left the house.

Chang Tai walked to the door of the ancestral hall, first asked Zhang Youfu to open the door lock on the door of the ancestral hall, and followed Shen Mingyue's mother-in-law, who was still crying, and the silent father-in-law entered the ancestral hall with him. As for those who watched the excitement, they were all blocked outside the ancestral hall by the rest of the catchers.

When she arrived at the ancestral hall, Shen Mingyue's mother-in-law only glanced at it, then covered her face and sat on the ground: "What kind of evil has our Zhang family created." Two years ago, my son was unfortunate, and two years later, my daughter-in-law died in the ancestral hall of our Zhang family. What are you ancestors doing, why did you watch my daughter-in-law being killed? ”

"Is this your daughter-in-law?"

Chang Tai couldn't hear the middle-aged woman crying, so he said directly in a cold voice: "If you want to find out the truth about your daughter-in-law's murder, put away your tears." If you don't want to know, go out of this ancestral hall, and you don't want you to howl here. ”

"You...... You bully people. The middle-aged woman was crying and crying, with a look of grievance.

Chang Tai just swept his eyes coldly and said, "It's bullying you, how about it?" If you feel wronged, you can go to the government and sue me. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, the little people don't dare, my lady just said these things that shouldn't be said because she was too sad. Just ask what you want to ask, let's answer truthfully, answer truthfully. ”

"You see clearly, look carefully, is it your daughter-in-law Shen Mingyue lying on the ground?"

"If you go back to the chaye, it is my daughter-in-law Shen Mingyue lying on the ground."

"How old is she, and where is her mother's home?"

"If I go back to my father, my daughter-in-law will be on August 15, and she will be 20 years old after August 15. My daughter-in-law's maiden home is in Dongwang Village next door, but there are no relatives at home. ”

"No relatives?"

"Yes! My daughter-in-law here has a thin life, when she was three years old, her mother went, worried that she would be wronged by her stepmother, her father has not continued the strings, and has been pulling her alone. When I was sixteen years old, I made peace with my son Zhang Cheng. When she was eighteen years old, her father fell ill and was unable to survive the winter because he did not see a doctor in time, which caused his illness to be delayed. This aftermath is still handled by us. Now, my daughter-in-law's maiden family has no relatives except for an aunt from her own family and a cousin who married far away. ”

"Do you know why Mingyue left home late at night?"

"I don't know, we don't know." As soon as Mingyue's father-in-law wanted to answer, her mother-in-law, who was still crying, suddenly stopped crying and replied one after another: "If Mingyue goes out during the day, her father-in-law and I may still know." But in the middle of the night, we as parents-in-law can't just look at the door of their little couple. I don't know, we really don't know when she went out and why she died in this ancestral hall. ”

"Did you see her last evening?"

"It's fine at dinner." Shen Mingyue's mother-in-law replied: "There are only four people in my family, except for our old two, only they are the younger two. It was all eaten together. By mealtime, everything was fine, and I didn't hear that she had something to go out in the evening. My daughter-in-law has always been very well-behaved, especially after my son fell ill, she almost never went out, even if she was shopping, she asked me, the mother-in-law, to do it for her. I really don't know why she was killed here in this ancestral hall for which she came. ”

"What is the relationship between the deceased Shen Mingyue and her husband, your son?"

"Good, good." Shen Mingyue's mother-in-law hurriedly nodded: "My son, what do you say?" Before I got sick, it was good for everything, I was filial to us, and I had nothing to say to Mingyue, who was a daughter-in-law. After getting sick, this personality changed a little, not so badly, but as a little irritable. He always felt that he had delayed Mingyue and affected Mingyue. Mingyue is still young, he doesn't want Mingyue to guard him for the rest of his life, and when he gets old in the future, there is no one to count on. In order to let Mingyue leave, he thought of a lot of ways, and even used the worst attitude towards Mingyue. If you don't know the inside story, you really think he's hateful. But our father and mother know the inside story, and Mingyue also knows what he is planning, no matter what he says or scolds, he is unmoved, and he is still good to him as always. ”

"It is also a blessing for your son to find such a daughter-in-law."

"Who said it wasn't, so in private, with Mingyue on his back, we also said that our son. said that he couldn't let him hurt Mingyue's heart again. If Mingyue wants to leave, our Zhang family will not stay, not only will she not stay, but she will also prepare some dowry as much as she can in the specifications of marrying a daughter. If Mingyue wants to stay, we will also be careful and careful about her, and we will never let her be wronged in our Zhang family. Granny Shen Mingyue said, and she also rolled up her sleeves and wiped two handfuls from the corners of her eyes: "Oh, by the way, there is something I just forgot to say." At dinner last evening, Mingyue said a word, saying that she had found a way to let our Zhang family have a queen. ”

"What recipe?"

"Mingyue didn't say it at the time, and we didn't continue to ask." Granny Shen Mingyue sighed, and then asked, "My Mingyue won't die because of this recipe, right?" ”
