Later, Xu visited Ni Yunlin and stayed at Ni's residence at night, which made Ni very uneasy, and he was worried that his friend would dirty his house and cause him to lose sleep. In the middle of the night, Ni heard Xu's cough, which made him so anxious that he couldn't sleep well all night. Early the next morning, he hurriedly asked the servant to look for phlegm traces, but the servant searched all over the house and found it outside the house, and he was afraid that he would beat and scold, so he found a rotten leaf to fool him, as Xu's "incriminating evidence" the night before. Ni Yunlin covered his nose, closed his eyes, and ordered the servant to throw the leaves three miles away, and asked the servant to carry water to wash the tree. It's really the ultimate in celebrity hypocrisy. Seeing this, Xu could only leave in a huff. This wonderful story is more vivid through the painter Fu Baoshisheng's wonderful pen, turning words into images.

However, even if you love cleanliness, you always have to go to the toilet. The toilet in Ni Yunlin's house is naturally very unusual, and there is a wooden lattice under the toilet, and the middle is stuffed with goose feathers. When it is convenient, the dirt falls, and it is immediately covered with floating goose feathers, and there is no smell at all.

Because of his cleanliness habits, Ni Yunlin is very restrained in women, and he has been single for most of his life. Once, he took a fancy to a courtesan and brought her home for the night, but he was afraid that she would be unclean, so he let the courtesan take a bath. After washing, after a strict inspection, he still felt that it was not clean, and asked her to wash it again, wash it back and forth, and it was almost dawn, so he had to give up.

Women are not clean, and the powerful and money are even more unclean in his eyes. Zhang Shixin, the younger brother of Taiwei Zhang Shicheng, sent people to send silk and gold coins to ask for paintings. Ni Yunlin tore the silk on the spot, saying that he could not become a powerful painter, which offended Zhang Shixin. Zhang Qiu couldn't draw it, and he held a grudge. One day Zhang Shixin met Ni Yunlin, and under the pretext that Ni was rude to him, he ordered someone to catch him and kill him, and others pleaded for mercy, Zhang Shixin ordered someone to beat Ni Yunlin dozens of whips to relieve his hatred. Ni was silent when he was beaten, and when someone asked him why, he said, "As soon as he made a noise, he became vulgar." ”

It is precisely because of his habit of cleanliness that Ni Yunlin has offended many people. Later, when he was taken to prison, and when the jailer brought him food, he asked the jailer to hold it high. The jailer was puzzled and asked him why, but he did not answer. The others said, "He is afraid that your spit will spill into the rice." The jailer was so angry that he chained Ni Yunlin to the dung bucket, which made him feel terrible.

It is such a person who regards cleanliness as his life, but he dies unclean. There are two theories about his death, both of which were unclean.

said that Ni Yunlin suffered from dysentery before his death, and the bed was full of stench, and no one dared to approach; said that he was thrown into a dung pit by Zhu Yuanzhang and drowned.

These men with extreme cleanliness are indeed very different, but why does this nunnery owner need such a man the most? Xiao Tong really couldn't figure it out.

In order to avoid letting these two women see that he was going to Mr. Zhao, he did not go directly to the courtyard where Mr. Zhao lived, but went around in a circle before coming to Mr. Zhao's door.

Before he knocked on the door, he heard Mr. Zhao in the house and asked softly, "Is it the third son?" Please come in". Xiao Xiao knew that this Mr. Zhao always had an extremely keen observation of the surrounding Yiqiē. I hurriedly pushed the door and went in, and found Mr. Zhao sitting upright on the bed meditating. Seeing Xiao Tong come in, he smiled slightly, then pointed to the chair next to him and motioned for Xiao Tong to sit down.

Xiao Yun moved his chair, approached Mr. Zhao, and whispered to him to report to him that the recent qiē, especially the latest batch of craftsmen who had been sent out, had all died mysteriously within four or five days.

After listening to this, Mr. Zhao asked about the symptoms of these deceased, then frowned and pondered. The most miraculous and difficult poison in the world is recorded in detail in the two books handed down by their ancestors. According to the information provided by Xiao Tong, Mr. Zhao probably guessed that the cause of death of these craftsmen was that they ate puffer fish seeds and ground them into powder.

The most amazing thing about this poison is that after ingesting it, it will not attack immediately, but wait for four or five days before the effect of the medicine will come into play, but as soon as it occurs, the person will die immediately.

The one who can come up with such a superb poisoning method must not be the Zhang family, but the owner of the nunnery. It seems that that woman is really a powerful character.

In addition, Mr. Zhao believes that the reason why the Zhang family and the owner of the nunnery only killed this group of craftsmen and not the other batches is that this is probably the last group of craftsmen, and they directly carried a large number of belongings to the Yin Mansion, so the Zhang family and they had to kill them to avoid leaving future troubles. It's really ruthless!

Xiao Tong couldn't have guessed that grandma and the owner of the nunnery would use such a method to kill these most critical craftsmen. He really wanted to investigate the family's property to see how much had been transferred by his grandmother, but all the accounts were in his grandmother's hands, and he had no way to check them.

When Zhang's two henchmen excitedly reported to her that the "Yin Mansion" to be built had been basically completed, and a large amount of gold and silver treasures had all been moved to the "Yin Mansion", and the last batch of craftsmen who were responsible for transporting gold and silver to the Yin Mansion were also perfectly "solved" according to the original plan, and all the steps went very smoothly.

After hearing this, Zhang was of course very happy and rewarded these two subordinates. The two people were ecstatic to go down to receive the reward, looking at the backs of these two people, Zhang sighed deeply, and said to the owner of the nunnery sitting next to him: "Hey, don't say it, I'm really a little reluctant to get rid of these two people."

After hearing this, the owner of the nunnery smiled coldly and said: "Sister, don't have the kindness of a woman, these two are the people who know the whole plan best, if they are greedy together, the consequences will be unimaginable, your treasure plan, but it will be ruined, I look at the faces and manners of these two people, I know that they are greedy for money and profit, so, leaving this kind of person, the future is endless!" ”

This remark was very useful to Zhang's, and she nodded as if she had made up her mind: "It's still my sister who has a vision, so let's rely on my sister, but these two boys are ghosts, and they may not be so easy to deal with, so we have to find a safe way."

The owner of the nunnery sneered contemptuously a few times: "Sister, don't worry, although they are clever, it depends on who they compare with."

Zhang nodded at her, with their friendship over the past decades, of course she understood the pride and viciousness of the nunnery's personality, but she had wisdom and means that ordinary people could not understand.

Zhang only vaguely knew that the father of the owner of the nunnery turned out to be a high-ranking official in the court, and later he didn't know what serious crimes he committed, not only did he cause the disaster of killing, but the whole family was also unlucky, all the family property was confiscated, the male dependents were exiled, and the female dependents were sold into slavery, so this lady who had been pampered and well-read since she was a child, was suddenly sold to a brothel in the Qinglou, and was ravaged by the lowest men in society, and suffered from the endless bitterness and pain of the world.

Later, when an official friend of his father's friend found out about her whereabouts, he secretly ransomed her and arranged for her to be sent to a nunnery through his own connections. Coincidentally, a few years after she arrived at the nunnery, the original old nunnery owner died, because she was arranged by officials, and she was full of poetry and books, and she was smart and clever, so she became the owner of the nunnery at a young age.

Even though Zhang and she have been close friends for decades, she rarely takes the initiative to talk about her background and experience, so Zhang only has a superficial understanding of her; On the contrary, it is the Zhang family, who likes to sue the owner of this nunnery without reservation. This nunnery owner is also a person with a very strange temper, although she is vicious, when it is often aimed at men, but to the nuns in the nunnery, it is very good, never beating, scolding and abuse, and is caring, and does not spare money to help them.

For Zhang, the owner of the nunnery is her best sister, no matter what she does, how rebellious she seems to others, the owner of the nunnery will support her regardless of reason and do his best to help her, which makes Zhang extremely moved. For example, in the early years, she had an affair with the Jews and led to her pregnancy, but fortunately, with the full help of the owner of the nunnery, she was able to give birth to the child smoothly, and it was precisely because of this child with the Jews that Zhang felt that this life was not in vain.

Although she had to abandon the child because of the force of the shape at that time, for decades, she has been thinking about the child almost all the time, although she has no idea about the child's life and death and whereabouts, but for some reason, in the dark, she firmly believes that the child must still be alive in the world.

What's even more strange is that although she and Li Yuanwai already had a son before, for some reason, she didn't feel anything about that son, as if it wasn't her own at all.

Only the abandoned son aroused her strong maternal instinct, and she herself couldn't figure out why she liked the abandoned son so much, maybe it was Aiwu and Wu, it was she who projected her love for the Jew and her heart onto the abandoned child. And her crazy plan to "bury property" is actually for the abandoned child, because she wants to leave this huge amount of property to her hard-working, abandoned, and missing son before she dies, which can be regarded as her own compensation for him. This may seem ridiculous to others, and trying to leave so much property to him without knowing the whereabouts of his son.

But for Zhang, this is her usual style, and she knows that she is past her old age and her days are numbered, so she feels that this is the only way she can compensate for the abandoned child during her lifetime.

But perhaps what Zhang didn't expect was that the son she had been thinking about for a long time was actually not far from her, only a few dozen miles, at least for a decade or two; What she didn't expect was that the owner of the nunnery, who she regarded as a sister, actually knew the whereabouts and whereabouts of the abandoned child, but for a subtle reason, he had been deliberately hiding it from her.
