Chapter 106: Pretending to be a god
Yan Niang went to the Temple of Mercy and Grace early in the morning, which coincided with the return of Master Huishan, who had traveled abroad, and the Temple of Mercy and Grace was much more lively than before. Yan Niang had heard Jiang's mother tell her that her marriage with Jiang Yucheng was also made up by Master Huishan.
Perhaps Master Huishan is too famous, and the pilgrims of Ci'en Temple are several times more than usual. Yan Niang and Qi were crowded in the crowd, and finally entered the main hall.
She first bowed to the Bodhisattva in the main hall, and then went to the side hall to draw lots. This time the signing was not as bad as the last time, but it was not much better.
After unraveling the sign, Yan Niang worriedly asked for a few tranquilizers, because she was worried about Jiang's mother and the children, she did not stay in the Ci'en Temple, and immediately returned home after asking for a tranquilizer.
After returning home, before approaching Jiang's mother's yard, I heard a babbling sound from the meeting. Then a pungent smell of burning paper money came to my face.
She walked in briskly, and when she saw what was going on, she thought she had made a mistake.
There were six more middle-aged men in black mage robes in Jiang's mother's courtyard, each holding a colorful baguette or something in their hands.
They formed a circle, and Mother Jiang sat on the chair in the circle with her eyes closed, allowing them to sprinkle water and paper ashes on her. While sprinkling and reading something inarticulately, it looks like a ghost is pretending to be a ghost.
"What are you doing?" Yan Niang couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted, "Stop for me immediately." ”
Mama Wu hurriedly stepped forward, "Madam, the mage is exorcising evil spirits to the old lady, you can't interrupt halfway." Otherwise, the old lady will be backlashed. ”
Yan Niang looked at Mama Wu, and suddenly remembered what her husband said last night, she would look at this old mama, and the more she looked at it, the more suspicious she felt.
"Who brought these people here?" She stared at Mama Wu and asked.
Mama Wu froze for a moment, "Madam, the old lady has been tortured by evil things for so long, and the old slave really can't bear her to suffer, so with the consent of the old lady, I invited the mage to come over to exorcise the evil spirit." ”
After speaking, he glanced at Yan Niang and added: "This is a mage from southern Xinjiang, who is more powerful than the mage in our capital." ”
Yan Niang was very annoyed when she heard this, "You are just a minion, who allowed you to put these messy people into the mansion?" ”
Mama Wu argued a few more words, and Yan Niang instructed Qi's words: "Tie up this old goods for me and throw it into the firewood room, and wait for the adults to come back and dispose of it." ”
After speaking, he called Liu Da over, pointed to the mage who was still pretending to be a god and a ghost, and said: "Knock them out of the mansion for me, and if they resist, they will be tied up and sent to Ying Tianfu, and they will be said to be blackmailing the officials' families." ”
After hearing Yan Niang's words, those mages immediately stopped, and one of them, the mage with a mustache, raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Ignorant woman, if you interrupt our brother's practice, evil things will definitely come back to this old lady." ”
After hearing the word backlash, Yan Niang was even more angry, "Where did the demons come from, they dared to make trouble in my Jiang Mansion, Liu Da, tied them up." ”
Liu Da answered, and took the other family members to surround those mages, and some people wanted to run, but Liu Da and the family members grabbed together, and then tied them up one by one.
Seeing this, Mama Wu on the side said loudly: "Madame is not filial, and she actually wants to kill the old lady." Wake up, old lady, someone is trying to harm you. ”
Yan Niang glanced at her, "Shut her mouth." ”
Qi immediately complied.
Yan Niang instructed Qingyang and Taozhi again, "You help the old lady to the house, and go to the doctor immediately." ”
"Yes". The two said in unison.
After ordering this, Yan Niang asked people to go to the Hanlin Academy to call Jiang Yucheng home to deal with the affairs of those mages.
Jiang Yucheng had just arrived home, and he happened to meet Qi Shi, who was sending the doctor out, and hurriedly asked, "How is my mother?" ”
Qi said: "The old lady is fine, but she was bewitched by Mama Wu, if you don't say that Madame wants to harm her, this will be a trouble." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Yucheng walked quickly to his mother. At this time, Jiang's mother was scolding Yan Niang, "You are a vicious woman, I didn't see it before, but today I saw through your true face." You just want to kill me, after I'm gone, no one will suppress you, and you can do whatever you want in the Jiang family. ”
"Mother, what are you talking about, I have never had such a mind. You see, this is the talisman I asked for for you when I went to the Temple of Mercy and Grace early in the morning. Yan Niang showed the tranquilizer talisman to Jiang's mother.
Mother Jiang refused to believe her, and took a few steps back, "Mama Wu told me all the things you did, don't you want to lie to me again." ”
Yan Niang couldn't wait to pull Mama Wu to confront her at this time, and Jiang Yucheng, who listened to their conversation, walked in.
"Mother, you don't believe in your own family, but instead believe in a suspicious minion, isn't it chilling?"
Seeing her son, Jiang's mother immediately ran to his side, "Cheng'er, Nie's is not a good thing, she wants to kill me, you quickly divorce her." ”
Jiang Yucheng twisted his eyebrows, "Mother, what are you talking nonsense, how can Yan Niang harm you." It's all that Mama Wu is messing with. ”
"It's true, it's true, it's that she wants to hurt me, I saw it all last night." Jiang's mother suddenly became frightened, "Nie, she wants to eat me with her mouth open, if I hadn't run fast, I might have been eaten by her." ”
Seeing that the more his mother talked, the more ridiculous it became, Jiang Yucheng was angry and didn't fight, "Mother, can you stop talking nonsense, you don't believe Yan Niang, but believe that Mama Wu's words, you wait, my son immediately interrogated the slave to see who instructed her." ”
After speaking, he instructed Taozhi and another sturdy mother-in-law, "Take care of the old lady, don't let her go out of this door." ”
After Jiang Yucheng and Yan Niang came out of Jiang's mother's courtyard, Jiang Yucheng said apologetically: "I have wronged you, my mother has been a demon for a while, don't take what you said before to heart." ”
Yan Niang nodded, "I know, my mother must have been bewitched by Mama Wu." Before you come back, I have already asked Qingyang to search Mama Wu's residence, and I may find out. ”
Jiang Yucheng said: "You did the right thing. I'm going to interrogate that old thing now and see what she's up to. ”
When the couple separated, Jiang Yucheng asked about several children. Yan Niang said: "My mother took them away, saying that they were at Aunt Yun's house." ”
"Let's get them back first."
"I'll have someone pick it up right away."
When Man Man came back with his younger brothers, Jiang Yucheng was interrogating Mama Wu. At first, Mama Wu refused to say anything, and kept claiming that she was wronged.
It wasn't until Qingyang found a pack of unused incense from her room that she stopped quibbling, but still refused to explain anything.
Jiang Yucheng tortured her, and when Mama Wu only had one breath left, she suddenly said: "Don't think about it if I die, bad luck is coming soon, and none of you can avoid it." ”
After finishing speaking, blood oozed from the corner of her mouth, and Jiang Yucheng probed at the tip of her nose, but she was out of breath.
Mama Wu was useless, and Jiang Yucheng went to interrogate the six mages again. Maybe it was because I was afraid after seeing Mama Wu being tortured, and everyone was very scared.
"My lord, we were just invited by Mama Wu to make a show, we don't know anything."
Jiang Yucheng stared at them expressionlessly, "Tell the truth." ”
"We're really not in league with her." The eight-character beard who scolded Yan Niang before confessed: "The six of us were originally a juggling troupe in southern Xinjiang, and we came to the capital to make a living at the beginning of this year. A few days ago, Mama Wu found our brother and said that as long as she followed her to Jiang's Mansion to perform a play, she would be paid one hundred taels of silver. That's a sum we can't earn in a year, so we agreed to her for a hundred taels of silver. ”
After Jiang Yucheng heard this, he couldn't help but ponder. What does Mama Wu want to do, she has been lurking in the Jiang family for five years, is it just to provoke the relationship between Yan Niang and his mother's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? His instincts told him it wasn't that simple.
Jiang Yucheng didn't know the true identities of these people, so he sent them to Yingtianfu. After checking the booklet of temporary residents in the capital, the prefect of Tianfu confirmed that these people were indeed a juggling troupe from southern Xinjiang.
The Jiang family was disturbed by Mama Wu, and the East Palace was not much better.
At first, only Fu Liangdi had nightmares, but later it evolved into a dream of the three princesses and servants who died tragically, and everyone's dreams were exactly the same.
Something like this happened, and the prince, who had been escaping reality since the death of the crown princess, was finally willing to return to the East Palace. On the first night of his return to the East Palace, Wu Chenghui had another fetal breath and bleeding, and when the imperial doctor arrived, the child could no longer be saved.
