Chapter 46: What is the killing intent

Bai Shi thought for a while, and then understood the inference of Chun Gui - if Ning Si's denunciation caused her to be grounded because of coincidences and misunderstandings, then Ning Si had no ill will towards her, but she was poisoned when she was grounded, and the murderer could only be Wang Jiugui, who had a lot of resentment because of her "red apricot out of the wall".

However, Bai categorically denied this possibility: "Accompanied for many years, I still understand the temperament of the master, he crossed the sea in his early years, and was shipwrecked on the way, and nine out of ten people died with him, but the master was able to survive, and afterwards the master thought of traveling before he begged for a hexagram, and the master was lucky to have a good fortune without danger, and the old man went from Fenyang to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to make a living, and met a pair of poor brothers and sisters on the way, almost starved to death, and the old man gave up all the coils on his body to them, and relied on doing coolies along the way to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I thought it was this kindness that I got the blessing. ”

Of course, the Bai family only knew about this period of the past after Wang Jiugui mentioned it himself, but she did not doubt that Wang Jiugui would have such a good heart back then: "Since then, the more the old man believes in karma, and he doesn't know how much money he has scattered to Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, and often opens porridge sheds to support the lonely, widowed and poor, he really has a sense of awe for the gods, although his heart is not broad-minded, and it is inevitable that he will be suspicious and jealous, but he is kind and benevolent, and he will never act evil deeds that harm people's lives." ”

The reason why Chungui planned to let Mo Wen come forward and deceive Wang Jiugui's trust to take the opportunity to go to the Wang family to investigate the cause of Bai's death was precisely because of Wang Jiugui's superstitious habit of believing in Buddhism, although it is not said that there are no ruthless characters in the world while eating fasting and reciting Buddha - for example, Mrs. Gu is such a person, but she also believes in Bai's judgment and thinks that Wang Jiugui is indeed a believer in gods and Buddhas, and there is indeed a benevolent wish in her heart.

When he listened to the provocation of contemplation and decided that Gao Xian City had an affair with the Bai family, he was furious, and expelled Gao Xian City and imprisoned the Bai family, which was already his most ruthless means, when the Bai family "committed suicide", Wang Jiugui almost immediately regretted it, and it can be seen from his thick burial that there is no resentment in his heart, and when Mo Wen appeared and asserted that the Bai family was murdered, Wang Jiugui was even more afraid of God's curse, and vowed to find out the truth so that Bai's soul could be comforted, all of this is reasonable, but if Wang Jiugui is the real murderer, There are inexplicable contradictions in all kinds of causes.

"That's why I said that Ning Si can't be because of a misunderstanding, and he complained to the master mother because he was loyal to the main family, because the murderer's purpose was not just to make the lady fall out of favor, but to murder the lady's life. Chungui asked.

Bai's head said: "The old man is a new rich family, unlike the door of the high-ranking family, most of the servants of the Wang family are born to children, and when I was in charge of the inner house, the maid who bought from the tooth man, she was a little stupid and inflexible, and the tooth man failed to sell for a long time, and she was very harsh, not to give food and clothing, and often beat and scolded, so many of the maidservants, there was a sympathy for the meditation, and pleaded with me for her, I was also moved by compassion, so I bought the meditation together, and then the wife saw it, but she was happy to contemplate and not say much, Loyal and honest, and sympathetic to her clumsiness and unpleasantness, he even sent Ning Si to serve in the house closely, and did not let Ning Si do any more heavy work. ”

"Why did I hear that although meditation looks inconspicuous, it is far from stupid?" Chungui was a little surprised when he heard Bai's evaluation of meditation.

"Originally, the mind was not stupid, but the appearance was not so pretty, and the temperament was a little dull, but after a few years, the age gradually increased, and after some training, of course, words and deeds have grown, and slowly, really get the attention of Mrs. It's just because of this that I have never neglected her, let alone criticized her, and I can't imagine why she slandered and killed me. ”

"Meditation should have been bought and instigated by others, and now we can only conclude that she is a slanderer, and as for the person who poisoned the lady, it is not necessarily meditation." Chungui asked: "Who does the lady think has murderous intent towards the lady?" ”

"I really can't imagine that anyone in the family will hate me endlessly, and if I want to say that there is a contradiction, it is nothing more than the second wife Zheng, so these times, I mainly keep an eye on Zheng, but although I am listening like a shadow, I only know that she has been schadenfreude about my death, but she thinks that it is all the handiwork of my wife."

In the year, the Bai family was redeemed by Wang Jiugui from the Qinglou and accepted as a concubine, compared with the Zheng family, and also asked the family to call him the "third wife", the Zhou family was not angry, but the Zheng family was very angry, and often provoked and squeezed, and the gap between the two was quite deep. Zhou's wife, who has neither background nor appearance, the only hope is that her two sons-in-law, and her husband Wang Jiugui is not an unscrupulous person, although she is rich, she has never thought of abandoning her wife. But Zhou's temperament has always been weak, and she has never been strong in front of Zheng, and in the face of the dispute between the two concubines, she can only persuade her with good words, especially for Bai, who is much kinder than Zheng's, the more gentle and appeased, and considerate of Bai's grievances.

The Bai family was very respectful to the Zhou family, and it became more and more unbearable for the Zheng family to dare to scold the master mother at every turn.

So he complained to Wang Jiugui, Wang Jiugui secretly investigated, and confirmed that the Zheng family really disrespected his wife, and repeatedly did not change, in a fit of anger, he took the power of the Zheng family's housekeeper and entrusted it to the Bai family, the Zheng family's arrogance was greatly reduced, and the jealousy of the Bai family naturally increased.

So after the Bai family was killed, the first thing to suspect was the Zheng family, but after some peeping, I heard the Zheng family and her henchman and servant woman muttering - "The Bai family and Gao Xianshi have an affair? When I first heard about it, I also believed it, after all, the two of them are fellow villagers, and they usually have some contacts. And how many more portraits of the Bai family? Even Gao Xianshi personally admitted that he really longed for the Bai family, and if this is really the case, I will not be suspicious. ”

"Could it be that the second wife now suspects that the Bai family has been wronged?"

"Even I know that the old man is angry and angry, but he is soft-hearted, and he is a very face-saving person, this matter will definitely be hidden, and he will not really treat the Bai family, even the grounding, after a period of time, it will be lifted, and the Bai family's loss is only the right to be a housekeeper, so she can seek death for this? But he just 'sought death'! I'm afraid that someone can't allow her to live, so if you look at it this way, the affair doesn't seem to be true, because only if there is a trouble, the Bai family will 'seek death', right? ”

"Could it be that the Bai clan was poisoned?"

"Naturally, he was poisoned, I really didn't expect that the Zhou family looked like such a cowardly and useless wretch, but he had poisonous fangs hidden in his throat, and his heart and intestines were also so vicious!"

"The second wife is suspicious of the eldest wife?"

"It's not that she can have anyone, to confess Bai's contemplation, but her arms, she has always been honest, and has a reputation for kindness and virtue, even if the lord doesn't fully believe what she says, he has some reservations!"

"But the big lady...... It's not that the slave doesn't believe the second wife's inference, it's just that according to the slave and the maid, the eldest lady doesn't have such a jealousy towards the third wife. ”

"Don't say it's you, even I don't believe it, but in this matter, there is no one else except the Zhou family! Think about it, contemplation can be bought by others? Unless she was acting on the orders of the Zhou family, why would she slander the Bai family? As soon as the Bai family lost the right to be a housekeeper, it seemed to fall into my hands, and I was just a temporary chef, and I couldn't stir it up for a few days, but now it's not as good as it was at the beginning, our grandmother has been in the door for a few years, and it's just that she is still sitting in confinement, and she can't be in charge of things in front of her. ”

"If you want to say it, it's been a long time since the eldest grandmother married into the door, and the master shouldn't have let the Bai family housekeeper anymore."

"Didn't the master say that the task of the eldest grandmother is to spread the branches? This is a year or two years apart, and they have to give birth and raise, and there is indeed no more mindful housekeeper, but I didn't expect that the three girls should be out of the cabinet after two years, and the Bai family is still in charge of the house, and I don't know how much money I have privately married my daughter, and the old man is not careful, so can the Zhou family really tolerate it? The money taken away by the third girl originally had a share of her two sisters-in-law, a woman from a poor background like the Zhou family, when she was really broad-minded, she didn't care about anything? The most important thing for such a person is money! If the Bai family doesn't even have a daughter, the Zhou family can always be like a sister to her, and with three girls here, how can the Zhou family feel at ease? When this time comes, the three girls will not be taken care of by their mothers, brothers and sisters-in-law in the future, and even if they have a penny or a foot of cloth in the red, they will have no hope of taking them out of their parents' house! ”
