Chapter Twenty-Four: The Sky-High Bone Flute

Bai Yu said some old things about the Bai family, and Mrs. Bai listened to it in her ears, and they were all in line with that year, and she had believed him fifty or sixty percent, and listened to Bai Yu continue.

“…… Later, my mother contracted a dark disease, and after all these years, when I was dying, I told me to find you! ”

"The little one inquired about northern Jiangsu, and knew that you moved to the south of the Yangtze River, and then found Haicheng!

"Unexpectedly, Bai Erlang and his wife were almost killed that night, Bai Yu saw that the Bai family was in danger, so he wanted to find out who assassinated the Bai family first, and then followed Erlang and his wife to He Mansion to help Erlang uncover Liu Cong's true face, so that he could rest assured to meet his wife!"

As he spoke, he took out a silver ball sachet from his sleeve and handed it to Madame Bai.

"This is the mandarin duck silver ball sachet given by you and the master on the occasion of the marriage of the first father and mother, and the mother has always kept it by her side, and then handed it over to me!"

Mrs. Bai took the sachet and saw that the silver ball was well cared for, but there were still some ancient rust spots on the side, which were exactly what they gave to Zhenhai and his wife!

She nodded again and again and asked in a trembling voice, "Is your mother's old rheumatism better?" Still on the run for so many years......"

Bai Yu lowered his head and replied: "Madame, I'm afraid I'm mistaken, A-Niang doesn't have rheumatism, but she has been suffering from back pain, and she can barely walk after thirty." ”

Mrs. Bai was testing him, she only remembered that Bai Zhenhai's new daughter-in-law had a bad waist, and she prepared some ointment for Bai Zhenhai to send back every New Year's Day.

From this, there was no doubt about Bai Yu, the corners of his eyes were astringent, thinking of all kinds of things in the past, he had already been wrong, and he couldn't help but feel sad, and he dipped the handkerchief into the corners of his eyes.

Yan Zhuo was even more surprised when he saw Bai Yu take out the physical evidence, and asked and answered with Mrs. Bai without any difference!

Could it be that his background is real? Is it really the old man of the Bai family?

Then why didn't he refuse to see Madame Bai with his true face?

"Good boy!" Madame Bai trembled her hands to help Bai Yu get up, looked up at his scarred cheeks, and said repeatedly: "You have also suffered a lot, right?" ”

Bai Yu raised his eyelids slightly, met Mrs. Bai's gaze, pursed his lips again and again, shook his head, and spit out two words: "-Not bitter." ”

Madame Bai nodded, and her gaze fell to Bai Yu's hand.

The hand has a slightly yellow complexion, slender and slender fingers, and thick calluses on the belly, but not as rough as the face.

With a white jade crane pattern wrench on the thumb of her right hand, she looked at it twice, and was speechless for a while.

"Brother Yu is very good!" Bai Yi stepped forward and added: "Next time I go to the city to visit my eldest brother......"

Madame Bai glared at him, knowing that he was not dead enough to rob the prison.

Bai Yi lowered his head.

Bai Dalang's wife, Liu, who was sitting quietly on the side, heard Bai Yi mention this, and couldn't help but raise her sleeves to wipe her tears.

Bai Yu asked, "Don't worry about Dalang's affairs, madam." Bai Yu has been wandering outside for many years, and there are some powerful people around him, who will definitely go all out.

"I've heard about this case when I'm in Haicheng, I don't know what the specific situation is?"

This is also the question that Yan Zhuo wants to ask the most.

It is also the most urgent problem of the Bai family.

A few people sat down again to watch the tea.

Mrs. Bai had a new arm, and gradually calmed down after being excited, and said to a few people: "Bai Yu's father was the former guard of the Bai Mansion, and he has a deep relationship with your father, and he is like a brother, in the future, you will treat him as your own brother and call him a cousin!" ”

"Yes!" Bai Yi and the others replied respectfully.

Yan Zhuo looked at Bai Yu coldly, and he was also calm.

Mrs. Bai then instructed Liu: "You should tell your cousin about Da Lang's affairs carefully." ”

"Yes." Liu stood up with his head bowed.

Yan Zhuo looked at this sister-in-law carefully for the first time.

is thin and small, with a melon seed face and slender eyebrows, weak and delicate, a typical Jiangnan woman's delicate appearance.

Although Liu was a little shy, his words were clear and clear, and he started Bai Dalang's case from the beginning.

"There was a batch of silk to be sent to Nanyang in Songjiang Mansion, but our silk shop suffered a disaster, and the goods ordered by several mansions were destroyed, so Da Lang personally went to Songjiang Mansion to bring back this batch of goods for emergency relief.

"When I came back from Songjiang Mansion, I was looking for a dart division to protect the goods, and a local shopkeeper who was good friends with Da Lang said that he had a relative in the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau, and it happened that the Dart Bureau was also going to escort the goods to Haicheng, so he could charge a low price for Da Lang to accompany this batch of goods.

Da Lang went to the dart bureau, and saw that those dart masters were indeed not small, all of them were dressed in brocade and spears, and bows and arrows were all good products, which were very majestic.

They told Da Lang that if they agreed that his goods would go with other goods, the price would be 30 percent cheaper, and Da Lang would comply.

All the way to Haicheng, Da Lang realized that the other batch of goods escorted by those people was just a wooden box, and he didn't know anything about what was in the box.

"But when I received the goods, it was the Sun family who came, and when I opened the wooden box, it was empty, and even the people from the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau were sent to the yamen, including Da Lang!"

Liu's eyes turned red again as he spoke, and his voice trembled slightly.

"When we received the news, the silk was detained by the county government, and Da Lang has also been imprisoned! It was said that the people from the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau testified that Da Lang stole the goods in the wooden box, and also found the lock-picking silver needle from Da Lang's bag as evidence!

"That's when we learned that inside the wooden box was a priceless bone flute!

The Sun family couldn't help but say that Da Lang must pay for the bone flute, and if he can't pay for the bone flute, he will have to pay 10,000 taels of silver!

That's what is happening today...... Da Lang didn't even know what was inside the wooden box before this! But there are all the human and material evidence, and we can't argue...... Da Lang was imprisoned in the county jail for half a month! I thought about interceding with someone from the county government, but the Gao family said that it was not easy to interfere in the affairs of the Sun family even if they begged their master......"

Liu couldn't go on.

"Isn't there a saying in the clan?" Bai Yu suddenly asked.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Madame Bai's mouth when she heard this, "In the clan? Counting on them, it is better to count on the clay Bodhisattva in the ancestral hall! The patriarch was too late to talk to the Sun family, and when he saw this, he sent people to urge me to find a way to compensate the Sun family for three days! ”

Yan Zhuo looked sideways and pondered, the priceless bone flute, could it be......

She looked up and asked, "Does that bone flute have a name?" ”

Liu put down the veil and replied to her: "Yes, Da Lang heard a sentence when the Sun family scolded him, saying that he stole the wonderful flute of the Marquis Sun.

"At that time, I didn't know if it was the bone flute of a person named Miaoyin, or if this bone flute was called Miaoyin, but I knew that it was a person with a lot of origin.

"I found three antique shops in the city, and later asked in Baofeng Shop that there was a priceless bone flute called Miaoyin, and I was sure that this was the flute that the Sun family wanted Dalang to compensate."

Baofeng shop! Yan Zhuo sighed secretly, her treasure shop!

"It's just a bone flute, why is it so valuable?" Bai Yu frowned.

Liu lowered his eyes and replied to him: "That gentleman said that it is rumored that this flute was given by Shi Chong to Mrs. Luzhu, and it was made of the ulna of the snow-topped crane in the Tianshan Mountains. Later, Luzhu resisted Sun Xiu for Shi Chong, played the last song with the bone flute, and then fell downstairs Mingzhi.

Therefore, this flute is not only known for its clean sound, but also represents the deep chastity of women, and has become a priceless curiosity. However, this flute has not been in the world for a hundred years, so there are very few people who know what this thing looks like. ”
