Chapter 135: A Scene
The Yang family's begging meeting was still held as scheduled, and Qingqing asked Qiao Dayong to find out the records of the original memorial and recruit the original students of Old Man Yang together. The reason is very simple, the old lady and his wife are wronged, and now if there are relatives and friends who recite a scripture together, the old lady can have fewer resentments.
The begging posts sent to each family are dictated by Qingqing, written by Qiao Dayong himself, and each family writes with deep affection. When the old lady died, most of these people were the same as Lord Liu, even if they were not in the capital, someone from the family would come to see them off, which was the dignity of an official. If these people in Beijing dare not come and let others know, then a name of indifference and injustice will not be left behind.
But after seven or eight years, the old man's previous kindness was almost forgotten, and at this time I received a notice, and when I inquired, the old lady was killed by someone, and if this is not going, in fact, everyone has to think again.
Everyone has a heart of gossip and curiosity, but most of the people who are officials have a heart of fear! They will all think in unison, the old lady has been dead for seven or eight years, what do they want to do when the Qiao family runs such a play? I don't know if they are in the officialdom, and they can't help it?
After complaining in my heart, I still have to inquire again. When they heard that the old lady's tomb was dug up by Scholar Liu, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Scholar Liu was Yang Hanlin's protégé back then, and the two had an excellent relationship. And now Lord Liu is deeply favored by the emperor, and the first queen is from the Liu family. Is he going to clear his name?
Ordinary speculators, even if they are not Yang Hanlin's students, but as long as they can be related, they all come. How can you miss something that can be related to Scholar Liu;
There is also a part of the cowardly. When they saw this, they were relieved. Seeing that everyone else has gone, he will follow him, the sky is falling, there is always a tall top, if he doesn't go, he will be hated by Lord Liu, and it will be troublesome;
Of course, there are a large number of people who have come out of righteousness. Mr. Liu's righteous school, over the years, has not trained too many officials, but he has changed the fate of many poor teenagers. Those who know how to read and those who don't know how to read get different jobs and wages, but the people who know how to be grateful the most are this group of people.
Just like Qiao Dayong back then, even if he hadn't seen Zhenniang, for the sake of his teacher, he was willing to face the behemoth Ximen family. But from this, it can also be imagined that when Zhenniang was persecuted by the Simon family, where did the students who were officials go? And how could a student stand up for their family, even if they said a word. Of course, Qingqing muttered in her heart these words, and she didn't bother to care.
When the day comes, there is a sea of people in front of the temple. The old lady had a lot of students at the beginning, and those people couldn't always walk by themselves, this was a social and competition, and they had to wear official uniforms and bring their own eight-person sedan chairs. And the people in the world are almost the same, and they will not change their temperament of liking to join in the fun. Seeing that there were a lot of people, I wanted to run to tell each other, come over to see what was going on, why did so many officials come? And some hawkers will also see the opportunity, while telling the lively people what is happening, and by the way, they can sell something. How can the gate of this temple not be crowded.
Qingqing and Qiao Dayong both knelt honestly in front of the three coffins, quietly doing their own thing. And Yue Wenqin was busy outside. He is also wearing linen and filial piety now, and his son-in-law's consciousness is still quite high.
Ximen Kai also came, and on the day the coffin was opened for autopsy, he came, but Qingqing was in no mood to deal with him, her heart was all on the three corpses. And when Ximen Kai saw the corpse, he couldn't help but shudder. He was used to seeing corpses, and it was impossible for him to vomit like Yue Wenqin, but he felt cold for the first time. What kind of hatred? That's it! And it's tantamount to destroying others.
When I went home, I mentioned it to Ximen, Ximen was stunned for a moment, and he lowered his head and thought for a long time before asking: "Why does Lord Liu suddenly want to take care of the Qiao family's case, shouldn't the most important case in Kaifeng Mansion now be the murder case of Lord Tie transferred from Dali Temple and the killer case in Beijing?" ”
Ximen Zhi's eyes have also been staring at these two cases, which is also the reason why Ximen Kai has often gone to Kaifeng Mansion recently. But when the case is still unclear, why was the murder of a head-catching wife exposed? That's it, the parents of the headhunter's wife were also killed? Or use mercury as poison, and the method of killing people can be said to be ruthless. This is in Taoism, but it is a practice that people will never be able to be reborn.
"Zhen Niang was killed?" Simon Zai was also in the old lady's study, and he was full of curiosity about this woman who had fascinated her eldest brother so much that she had forgotten the family laws of her ancestors. Although he hadn't seen her, in his heart, he never felt that she was a stranger.
"Yes!"
"It wasn't your dad who did it, did he?" Simon spoke again in astonishment, and of course when he finished speaking, he was thrown on the head by the old lady with a cup. Simon wore his hat again, except for being smashed and hurting, he was really not injured, he was also used to it, and turned his head to look at his father, "Dad, I'm serious, who did you say the Qiao family had offended over the years?" It's as slippery as a loach. Besides, the Yang family, the Yang family doesn't have much money, and they don't have any treasures that they can get their hands on, except for not marrying the eldest brother to make a second room, who did their family offend? Dead or is it their family of three? Who hates the Yang family so much? Simon spread his hands again, slowly took a white towel and pressed the tea that slipped down his head.
Simon's face turned white, and he looked at the old lady, hoping that he would come out and defend himself. But the old lady said nothing.
Ximen was happy and cold, so he heard that the Qiao family was going to do a begging party, and he was busy and dressed in plain clothes. Although he didn't expect so many people, he still followed the crowd to incense and recited the Buddha number a few times seriously.
came to Qingqing's side, she lowered her head and couldn't see her face, and Qiao Dayong was also dressed in filial piety clothes, kowtowing to the visitors one by one.
Yue Wenqin saw that Ximen Kai was approaching Qingqing, and hurriedly came over and opened the Ximen to give him a look, "Lord Ximen, if you don't pay homage to your remains, please go this way, there are too many people in the mourning hall, don't get in the way of others." ”
Qingqing hadn't raised her head at all before, she had been kneeling like this all these days to give the three members of the Yang family some waxed paper, and she could get up and stand up and move her legs. But after a few days, she was also a little numb. And what does today's beggar meeting have to do with Simon's family, and what does Simon do here? She couldn't help but look up and watch the west door open.
"Mourning!" Ximen Kai felt it, hurriedly lowered his head to look at her, and gently pulled the corner of her mouth.
"Thank you!" Qingqing suppressed the doubts in her heart, lowered her head again, and concentrated on turning the paper.
"Qingqing!" It's Lord Liu and the Huang family who are back!
