Twenty-seventh Meeting III
Sima Ying, who originally wanted to teach Qin Tai a good lesson, became the master's nephew. Not only is it not enjoyable, but it is also necessary to serve this uncle in a low manner. There is really an indescribable depression in my heart.
The master drank and ate happily at this meal, and Sima Ying felt more and more aggrieved. This master, who is younger than himself, is not his opponent in terms of status, identity, or family property, but he wants to provide for him like an ancestor. He is the head of the dignified Sima family, and he stands like a subordinate to serve the master of this six-rank official. When this kind of thing spreads, where will he put Sima Ying's face?
I finally served the master, and the master was leaving. Sima Ying felt that he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
But the master said to him, "Big nephew, you are really good. Tomorrow, I will definitely come again. I'll give you a good point of learning. You don't have to be polite, you don't need to be cultivated. You just need to eat and drink enough for me. ”
"Shuxiu" is the tuition fee in today's society, and it is the property that students give to teachers. Some private school teachers make a living by "bunching and cultivating". Students consult the teacher, and the teacher reminds the students, and they must pay for the "bundle repair".
Sima Ying scolded this master in her heart for being too shameless, it is not enough to eat so much today, and she will come tomorrow. Do you have this rice bucket at home?
When the master was leaving, he said, "Nephew, Uncle Shi told you something important. ”
Sima Ying thought it was really an important secret, and hurriedly came over to listen.
The master pretended to be half-drunk and unconscious, but in fact, his heart had already blossomed.
When the master saw Sima Ying coming, he said, "Qin Tai, this kid, I'm not optimistic. But I had a dream that my son asked me to take this child as my godson. I am the most obedient child, and I must listen to what adults say. So Qin Tai is my godson. You are my senior nephew, that is, Qin Tai's senior brother. You, the big brother, must help the little brother. ”
Sima Ying had the urge to scold, this uncle who came out of nowhere was enough of a headache. Now this uncle has recognized a younger brother for himself. Qin Tai was originally his junior, he scolded if he loved it, and he said it if he liked to talk. But in this way, he became his little brother, and he couldn't criticize or say it. This master is either too powerful, or his brain is really in water. But I had to listen to him. It's sad.
When the master left Sima's house, he pretended to be drunk, and called Sima Ying "eldest nephew" in front of everyone, calling himself Sima Ying's uncle. lest Sima Ying turn around and deny it at that time.
Sima Ying not only lost a meal of wine and food in vain, but also had to admit this uncle in public. This face was lost home, all of which was unexpected by Sima Ying.
Back at the place where he lived, the master couldn't hold on anymore. Xiao Lingzi told everyone about the master's feats, and everyone really admired the master.
But Qin Tai had an extra knot in his heart, is the master really Xie Yuan in the first year of Jiajing, and the thirteenth in the seventh year of Jiajing? In this case, how could he be an unknown master from the Criminal Department?
I remember that when Qin Tai was in the Criminal Department, on the one hand, a large number of officials picked and chose what he had done, looking for him to train himself. On one side, some officials are pulling themselves together. In order to win over himself, an official did not hesitate to take himself to the prison of the Criminal Department. Many of the prisoners inside were wronged. But because they don't have a backstage and property, they will be sent to kill their heads in batches. And in the prison, Qin Tai saw his master "old drunkard" for the first time. At that time, the "old drunkard" took a flask in one hand and poured it into his mouth, and wrote quickly with the other. He memorized all the prisoners' information, and wrote it quickly and with few mistakes. Qin Tai took a fancy to his master at a glance and asked the official for this unregistered black man. In the archives of the Criminal Department, there is no information about the "old drunkard". But an old criminal department reminded Qin Tai and asked him to take good care of the "old drunkard". This "old drunkard" is definitely not a simple person, and he must not tell people secrets.
Qin Tai looked at the information for a night and found that there was really a big problem with this Sima family. Sima Ying's second daughter, Sima Ling, died unexplained. At that time, it was only said that Sima Ling died violently, first, he did not invite a doctor, and second, he did not ask a doctor to check the cause of death, and he was buried in a hurry, not to mention, and few people in his own family knew about it. In the information of the county government, the cause of Sima Ling's death is unknown.
Qin Tai carefully calculated the time, and soon after Sima Ling's death, the so-called "Nine Sons and Ghost Mother" incident occurred in the town again. Is there any connection between them? Could it all be related to Sima Ying?
Qin Tai prepared to visit Sima Ling's grave at night.
called Zhan Xiaoxiao and "Ma Sandao", and Xiao Lingzi insisted on going together. Only the master was unconscious and did not go.
Zhan Xiaoxiao walked in the front, and when she was about to reach the cemetery, she couldn't help but say, "My lord, my Lord Qin." Why do we always dig up other people's graves? And can't you dig during the day? Be sure to come and dig at night. ”
Qin Tai glanced at him and said, "My Zhan hero." Do you have a brain? Will Sima Ying promise us to dig up the grave? This is the grave of his own daughter. In broad daylight, let's not talk about digging graves, it's impossible to get close to here. I don't want to be hunted down by a large crowd. ”
Xiao Lingzi and "Ma Sandao" carried tools on their backs and followed behind with bitter faces. Qin Tai is an adult, he wants to check the corpse, and he doesn't have to do this kind of rough work of excavation. Zhan Xiaoxiao's beautiful name is to protect adults, and he also walks in front empty-handed. Only the two of them carried a lot of guys on their backs, and followed step by step.
Soon they came to the cemetery and immediately found Sima Ling's grave. Sima Ling, as Sima Ying's beloved daughter, her grave is easy to find, and it can be found almost at a glance. It can be seen that Sima Ying loves her daughter very much.
Qin Tai and the others came to the front of this tomb, Zhan Xiaoxiao was in charge of guarding, Xiao Lingzi and "Ma Sandao" were just about to excavate, but Qin Tai unexpectedly stopped them.
Qin Tai squatted down and looked at the land carefully, and said for a long time: "Dig, dig quickly." Don't worry about the soil. ”
This is a perverse order, and the soil and surface are the basis for testing the year of burial and whether the deceased has been destroyed. Usually, Qin Tai asked everyone to be careful, not to be better than the slightest clue. But today is different.
Zhan Xiaoxiao looked at everyone working, and said to Qin Tai: "Why? I know it has to be a reason. ”
Qin Tai stared at everything in the tomb and said, "This tomb has already been moved. There may not be a body inside, or the body may have been destroyed. ”
Zhan Xiaoxiao knew that Qin Tai would not joke about this kind of thing, so Sima Ling really had a problem?
Soon the tomb was opened, and inside was a large, heavy coffin.
Zhan Xiaoxiao was about to open the coffin, but was stopped by Qin Tai.
Qin Tai wrote a novel: "Such a big coffin, if it is split, it will not be able to split even if it is split all night." If you were looking for a mortise and tenon joint, the mortise and tenon would have been nailed to death a long time ago. You can't slam your mind. ”
Zhan Xiaoxiao frowned and said, "What do you say?" My lord. ”
Qin Tai took out a bottle of something from his arms and said, "This is a strange thing. It is very corrosive and can melt a large piece with just a little bit. But remember never to touch it with your hands. And this thing has a weird smell, so everyone should pay attention. ”
As he spoke, Qin Tai poured out the contents of the small bottle. As soon as the liquid touched the coffin, it sizzled.
Zhan's little eyes widened and widened, almost as bull's eyes.
After a while, a hole the size of a human head appeared in the coffin. This thing is amazing.
Qin Tai said to Xiao Lingzi: "Little Lingzi, throw a lime bag into it." ”
The lime bag can not only kill viruses and sterilization, but also clean the air in the coffin.
Xiao Lingzi threw the lime bag into it, and it took a long time to go back and take a look. There was already a puff of green smoke coming out of it.
Qin Tai nodded, and Xiao Lingzi took the torch and shone it into the coffin.
For a long time, Xiao Lingzi said with certainty: "Young master, there is no corpse in it." It was an empty coffin. ”
Zhan Xiao was dumbfounded, but Qin Tai was a little clear.
Qin Tai said lightly: "Look, are the belongings inside still there?" ”
Xiao Lingzi immediately replied: "I saw it just now, but there is nothing in it." ”
Qin Tai ordered that the coffin be placed and the grave covered up.
When everyone returned to the place where they lived, Zhan Xiaoxiao couldn't help it.
She grabbed Qin Tai, who was about to go back to her room to sleep, and said, "Ben Daxia, I'm very angry. Hurry up and tell me the truth. Otherwise, beware that my fist doesn't know you. ”
Qin Tai also knew that Zhan Xiaoxiao couldn't hold on, so he deliberately showed his anger to show Xiaoxiao. He found himself a little strange, he always liked to see Zhan Xiao angry. Zhan Xiaoxiao puffed and whirred, he never got tired of looking at it.
Qin Tai said: "Just now I saw two different colors of soil outside the tomb. Although the soil is very dry, it seems that no one has touched it for a long time. However, there is still a difference from the original soil. So I think this tomb was touched after it was built. Originally, I thought it was Sima Ying who moved it, otherwise it was the enemy of the Sima family. But when Xiao Lingzi told me that there were no corpses inside, I felt that I had misjudged. I asked Xiao Lingzi to check the contents again, and there was nothing in them. This means that Sima Ying did not do it, because Sima Ying would not be rare for his own family to have such a funeral item. Second, it wasn't the enemies of the Sima family who did it, they wouldn't take Sima Ling's body away after destroying it. Now it seems that either the tomb robbers took the body and belongings, or Sima Ling did not die. ”
Zhanxiao's scalp is numb, will a person who has been buried come back to life? At least she herself absolutely did not believe it.
