Chapter 8: Back to the door
When Bang Yue knew the news that Aunt Su committed suicide by throwing herself into the pond, it was already two days later.
Qin's house is a courtyard of Erjin, about the same size as Jade Zhai, and Steward Zhao and his wife watched. When I came back from the Prime Minister's Mansion, I felt cordial everywhere. In the past two days, Bang Yue took the flowers and water to toss around, moving those flowers and plants, covering the windows with new silk yarn, and fiddling with the porcelain bottles and jars of pottery on the closet, moving from the east chamber to the west chamber, and from the west chamber to the hall, I was exhausted, and I felt that the original decoration was more pleasing to the eye, so I wanted to change it back.
At this time, the news of Aunt Su's suicide came, and the first reaction of the two of them turned out to be - now they finally don't have to toss this yard anymore.
Bang Yue was silent for a moment, and she was a little unsure whether Aunt Su's death had anything to do with Shen Chen's visit to Jade Zhai, so she asked Su to sneak back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to investigate, and with her skills, it was naturally okay to do such a thing as listening to the root of the wall.
Later in the evening, Su Wen brought back the news.
"On the surface, I was jealous with a maid named Xianglan next to me, and I was beaten by Shen Chen, and I couldn't think about it for a while." Su Wen rubbed his chin with the thumb and forefinger of his right hand.
"Huh?" Bang Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, bright face?
"I examined the body. There was a bruise on the back of his neck, and both knees and elbows were worn out. Tut! Su Wen looked intoxicated, stroked the back of his neck and two elbows, and bent down to touch his knees, as if enjoying the process of the autopsy.
Yinghua shivered in unison, looking at Su Wen like looking at a monster.
Bang Yue thought crookedly, and her old face couldn't help but blush, "Could it be that Aunt Su was indecent and killed?" β
Knees and elbows are worn out, how intense is it?
Su Wen rolled her eyes: "She was knocked unconscious, dragged to the edge of the pond, and drowned her head in the water." Oh, I woke up halfway through and struggled, so I left those traces. At first, he propped himself on the ground with his elbows, trying to get up, but his strength was not as great as that of the murderer, and then he bent his knees, and struggled to death, but it was still uselessβthe man only had to hold her on the back of the neck, and no matter how much she pounced, it was useless. β
She spoke with great interest, and the listeners sent chills down their spines.
"So, who is the murderer?" Shrushui swallowed his saliva.
"You ask me, who do I ask?" Su Wen picked up his hand, still rubbing his chin with two fingers.
"Why didn't others find out that she didn't kill herself?" Bang Yue asked with a frown.
"Huh," Su Wen narrowed his long Danfeng eyes and said in surprise, "How did the girl know that the people from the Xiangfu didn't find out?" β
Bang Yue sneered: "Dead aunt, naturally I, the wife who was disliked at the beginning, is the most suspicious, if you know that this is a murder case, can you come to me?" β
"The girl is so smart!" Shine and clap your hands.
Su Wen stopped stroking his chin, put his hands on his chest, and said: "One reason is that there are some fierce fish in the water, and the corpses have been eaten and gnawed, and those traces are not very noticeable, and no one has to check them carefully, but an aunt, our aunt has made a sincere poem, and I can't see how sad he is-this son is holding the big girl next to his mother and being happy." She said, glancing at the flowers with her eyes.
Seeing this, Bang Yue knew that Ri Yinghua's careful thinking had not been concealed from Su Wen, so she couldn't help but shake her head and smile secretly, and said in her mouth: "What about another reason?" β
Su asked a little seriously, and said with a little amusement: "But it's Aunt Shen's cousin, Chen Zhongxian, the only son of Deputy Chen's privy councillor next door, who has an accident." β
"What's going on?" Bang Yue had no impression of this Chen Zhongxian, and she didn't care, so she just asked casually.
"I was taken away, from the Chen Mansion. It is said that he should be punished according to military law. It's not noisy. If something happened to her nephew, how can Mrs. Chen, who is an aunt, still take care of her son's aunt? At this time, she is messing with her prime minister's husband. β
"Huh! What a big deal he must have committed with such a net worth! Bang Yue was in her heart, thinking about it, thinking of this Chen Zhongxian, that day Fengyue Lou murder, Chen Zhongxian and Deputy Privy Lady Chen were witnesses, this matter was Chen Zhongxian's mother Mrs. Qian told Shen Chen to Mrs. Chen. Mrs. Chen once added fuel to the fire, boasting about how her nephew Chen Zhongxian was not afraid of Yang An and how he comforted the injured old man Yunyun.
"It's not a big deal, he's just meeting a nemesis." Su Wen groaned slightly, "Chen Zhongxian came back from the army. Previously, he had trained with Zhendong General Xu Wei, Xu Wei had a very good personal relationship with his father, Deputy Privy Chen, and he estimated that he was praised to the sky on the Jiangdong side, and he thought very highly of himself. These children of the family, after eating military rations a few times, can make themselves generals. This time, the prince of Qi Wang entered Beijing to receive the seal, and somehow, he asked for the purpose of suppressing the bandits in Qingmingshan. β
Seeing her look of disdain, Bang Yue was surprised: "Isn't it a good thing to suppress bandits?" What does that have to do with Chen Zhongxian? β
"Listen to me, among the three sons of King Qi, the eldest and second led the troops to fight early, and now he is a general, but this youngest son has been spoiled since he was a child, and he is messing around with a bunch of gentlemen all day long, and he is debauched. Originally, it was not his turn to be the lord, but the Qi Wang couple saw that it was really unsuccessful, and they were worried that he would be wronged after a hundred years, so they let him be the son of the world and inherit the throne in the future. What do you think he can suppress? It's just child's play! β
Bang Yue blinked sluggishly. It's the rhythm of spoiling to death!
"This time I entered Beijing to be entitled, this prince did not appear at all, and all the affairs were handled by a young general named Li Qing, and the emperor did not squeak, let him go. Chen Zhongxian saw that Li Young Man was rebellious, and he was not convinced, so he asked Zhi to join him in suppressing the bandits. It doesn't matter whose son he is, he wants to be a pioneer, so he prefers him to take care of the logistics and grain and grass. Where is Chen Zhongxian convinced? He complained all day long, saying that the matter of suppressing bandits would not be done, and the plan would not be successful. It's a good thing that he was accused of 'confusing the army' by Shizi. β
Bang Yue smiled and shook her head: "Could it be that the prince himself came to the door to get people?" β
Su Wen shook his head: "How can it, it's still Li Qing." β
"Li Qing is just a young general, and Deputy Privy Chen doesn't make friends, what can he do?" Bang Yue Qi said.
Li Qing went alone, and at the door of Chen's mansion, he scolded Chen Zhongxian for shrinking his head and not daring to practice with him alone. said that if Chen Zhongxian could win against him, let him be a pioneer and do errands for him himself, and if Chen Zhongxian lost, he would honestly go back with him. Chen Zhongxian was not angry with Li Qing because he was thin and small, so he naturally rushed out and got into a mess. Oh, and it was quickly beaten up and carried away. β
"This Li Qing is a wonderful person." Bang Yue said with a smile.
"Qidi Mountain is high and the road is far away, and the baby pimple entered Beijing alone, and the Qiwang couple naturally sent all the good hands. Hmph, if you have a chance, you have to try this Li Qing's skills. Su Wen stroked his palm and grinded his teeth.
"I don't know if this prince is just pretending, or if he will really ......do what Chen Zhongxian will do" Bang Yue frowned, the gentleman is usually greedy for life, afraid of death, bullying, afraid of hard and lawless, acting as he pleases, and trying to save face, but he is really unpredictable. Su Wen said, "If you want to come out, you will come out", but it is in one sentence. After thinking about it, let him go, no one pays attention to his "abandoned woman" now, isn't he happy?
Su Wen Xingchadenfreude: "It's not much, I read his first offense, the death penalty was spared, and he was sent to the wrong land to serve three years of hard labor." There are only two seasons of extreme cold and extreme summer, and Young Master Xian is afraid that he will have to peel off three layers of skin this time. β
Bang Yue and the flowers and water were relieved, if they were killed like this, it would be very pitiful.
"That's right," Bang Yue remembered something, and asked with a smile: "The poem written by Shen Chen, but 'ten years of life and death, without thinking, unforgettable'?" β
Su Wen's mouth opened wide: "How can the girl even know this...... But it's not ten years, it's a life and death. β
Bang Yue smiled without saying a word, shook her head and went back to the house.
If Aunt Su doesn't die, and she dies of poison in a hundred days, this is for herself, what a deep affection! What is it worth dealing with such a person...... It's really worrying.
Who killed Aunt Su? Since it is made like she committed suicide by throwing herself into the pond, it is not to borrow her death or blame anyone, but simply to ask her to die. I guess I offended someone... As the saying goes, there is no love for no reason, and there is no hate for no reason, maybe she has done something sorry for others, and it is nothing more than the word hatred. Or... Benefit.
Who is it to the benefit of her death? It seems that there is only Qin Bangyue. There is no woman by Shen Chen's side, and sooner or later he will think of Qin Bangyue, the wife, and he will use it if he makes do. Thinking of this, Bang Yue suddenly felt that her whole body was not good. There seems to be a pair of invisible hands in the dark, cutting through thorns and thorns for them, clearing obstacles, and the two of them have to be together. Oh, my God......
"Don't bring such a playful person, ahh......hh
Hearing such a strange howl coming from the moon room, the flowers looked at each other on the water, and they were puzzled.
The next day was fifteen, and at noon, Bang Yue called Su Wen, handed her a pack of powder, and told her to take it back to Pingtai'an to watch the white lady take it, and then return to her when Shen was not abnormal. Su Wen didn't understand what she meant, and thought that Bang Yue wanted to teach her poison arts, and she just needed to ask for the consent of the lady, so she happily went.
Yinghua said with a smile: "Today on the fifteenth, the girl really wants to take Su Wen's sister." β
Bang Yue smiled proudly, raised her hands, asked Yinghua to wrap her chest, tied her hair, carefully pasted the disguise film on her face, dressed up as the second child of the Qin family, and went out with both hands holding the back of her head.
I saw her go out of the gate, walking through the streets and alleys, tea, rice, oil, and salt went around the shops one by one, and finally carried two bags of sesame oil, four pairs of large candles, and one bag of rice and salt, and went to the Chenghuang Temple in the east of the city.
There is very little incense in the City God Temple, probably because of what the world asks for in the past, and he can't control it all, unlike those immortals who hold popular powers such as promotion and wealth, giving sons and blessings, and are harassed by the world all day long.
Bang Yue entered the temple, and saw that the ever-bright candle lit half a month ago was just burning to the root, so he replaced it with a new one by one, filled it with sesame oil, put the remaining bag of oil next to the statue, and then respectfully sat cross-legged on the futon in front of the statue.
"Snort, little second brother, I'm here to talk to the old fairy again!" Two dark faces poked out of the doorway.
"Come here, come here." Bang Yue beckoned, gave the rice and salt to the two beggars, and sent them back. These two are little immortals, who have figured out the day of the moon, and come to ask for some rice noodles on the fifteenth day of the new year.
"Old fairy, Xiao Er has come to see you again." She looked around and saw the small temple of the city god, except behind the statue.
"Alasβ" she let out a long sigh, "next first year of junior high school, I don't know if there will be a second child for me." Old immortal, although you have passed on my unparalleled, superb, invincible, and pinnacle immortal skills in this world..."She paused, heard the statue snort with satisfaction, pursed her lips and smiled, and continued: "But people don't play cards according to common sense! Yesterday, there was a very vicious guy who pressed Xiao Er and me into the water, if it wasn't for being seen, you wouldn't have sesame oil to eat today-"
Bang Yue's face was not red, her heart was not beating, and she lied.
"Wellβ" she sighed again, "if only there was immortality." β
"Humph! Tell me the art of immortality! An old and shrill voice sounded in the temple.
