Chapter 34 Bone Examination
Yan Li touched the nail in Chang Jiao's teaching, and it soon reached Qi Tanying's ears. In this regard, she advised Yan Li not to have a hard time with Chang Jiaoyu, Chang Jiaoyu is a very stubborn person, if he can't persuade him, it is better to think of another idea.
Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can survive a hundred battles, Qi Tanying found a neighbor of Chang Jiao Yu and asked about Chang Jiao Yu's daughter.
After inquiring, I learned that Chang Jiaoyu and his wife were nearly thirty years old before they had such a daughter, and they were raised like jewels.
When they reached the age of sixteen, they were afraid that their daughter would be tortured by her mother-in-law if she married into another family, so they recruited a son-in-law who was born as an orphan.
The son-in-law named Yusheng, with a good appearance, good reading, and Miss Chang married after the husband and wife fell in love, Qin Se and Ming, which became a great story in Shangyang County.
But people's hearts are fickle, and Miss Chang and that person have only been married for three years, and Yusheng has a head and end with Miss Chang's personal maid. After being discovered by Miss Chang, he said that he was seduced by the maid, and he was confused for a moment before he did something wrong, and asked Miss Chang to forgive him once.
Although Miss Chang is a daughter, she has a very strong temperament, so she naturally refuses to agree. Yusheng was annoyed and angry, and had a big fight with Miss Chang, and Miss Chang was angry and divorced.
Chang Jiaoyu and his wife felt sorry for their daughter and also supported Miss Chang's decision, Yusheng was kicked out of Chang's house, and the maid who had an adulterous affair with Yusheng was also sold.
Speaking of which, it is also a creation to make people, that Miss Chang just took a break from Yusheng on the front foot, and found out that she was pregnant on the back foot. After Yusheng knew that Miss Chang was pregnant, he knelt down on the ground every day to admit his mistakes, hoping that Chang Jiao and his wife and Miss Chang would forgive him.
Miss Chang never gave him a good face, but Mrs. Chang was soft-hearted and often helped Yusheng persuade her daughter. Miss Chang is not a soft-eared person, and she hates Yusheng for deceiving Mrs. Chang's trust with her clever words, which is really angry and makes Yusheng beat up.
Maybe I really can't save Miss Chang, Yusheng left Shangyang County, and no one saw him again until Miss Chang died in childbirth.
Miss Chang is the lifeblood of Chang Jiaoyu and his wife, she almost took half of their lives this time, if it weren't for the children left by Miss Chang to be left unattended, how could Chang Jiaoyu and his wife persist until now.
Hearing this, Qi Tanying and Yan Li glanced at each other, guessing that Chang Jiaoyu would rather resist the decree than open the coffin in Dali Temple for an autopsy, perhaps because he didn't want people to disturb his daughter's sleep after death.
But if you want to recover your father's bones as soon as possible, you must open Miss Chang's coffin.
Qi Tanying decided to go to Chang's house to visit Mrs. Chang, and Yan Li went with her, wanting to persuade Chang Jiao in person.
When she arrived at Chang's house, Qi Tanying went straight to the point and said her intentions.
After hearing this, Mrs. Chang's face was a little unpleasant, "My daughter was buried with my own eyes, how could I be mistaken?" ”
As he spoke, his eyes became wet, "My daughter was unladylike when she was alive, and it was all our parents' fault. Now that she is dead, she doesn't ask for anything else, but asks her to be born into a good family in the next life, and not to suffer such bitter sins in this life again. ”
"If you move her grave and affect her reincarnation, who can bear such a sin?"
Seeing that Mrs. Chang's emotions became excited, Qi Tanying hurriedly poured a cup of tea for her and comforted: "Don't worry, listen to me analyze the reason with you." ”
"At the beginning, my father's coffin was also buried with our own eyes, and two days ago, the coffin was opened for an autopsy, but the bones inside were replaced by the bones of a woman, aged seventeen or eighteen, and the cause of death was dystocia."
"There are two deceased people in Shangyang County who meet these two conditions, one is the first wife of the shopkeeper of the silk shop, and the other is Miss Chang. The Dali Temple has examined the bones of Mrs. Zhu's ancestors and confirmed that Mrs. Zhu is buried in the Zhu family's grave. Now only Miss Chang's coffin has not been examined. ”
The implication is that the bones in Miss Chang's coffin are likely to be Qi Heming's.
Mrs. Chang still refused to believe it, and Qi Tanying said again: "If the bones of Miss Chang are not buried in the grave of the Chang family, who are the people who have been worshipping by the Chang family for so many years, and the real Miss Chang has not even enjoyed the incense and sacrifices, can she really rest in peace under the Nine Springs?" ”
and her father, Qi Heming, has been buried in someone else's grave for so many years, if it weren't for the Holy Lord to re-investigate the old case, would no one ever find out the truth?
Thinking of this, Qi Tanying pleaded with Mrs. Chang with pantothenic acid on the tip of her nose: "I hope you and Chang Jiaoyu can agree to open the coffin for an autopsy, so that the bones of my father and Miss Chang can be returned to their respective places." ”
Mrs. Chang cried, crying very sadly. Qi Tanying was infected by the sorrow in her cry, and her eyes became blurry.
After a long time, Mrs. Chang finally stopped crying, "I can't do anything about this, and I have to agree with my master, I... I could only try to persuade him. ”
Qi Tanying understood, got up and blessed Mrs. Chang, "Thank you Mrs. for understanding." ”
Coming out of Mrs. Chang's house, Qi Tanying happened to meet Yan Li, only to see his thin lips pursed, his face gloomy, and at a glance, he knew that he had not talked to Chang Jiaoyu.
In fact, Chang Jiao's temper is very stubborn, even if Yan Li moves out of the serious consequences of disrespecting the will, he still failed to convince him, but was scolded by him for being bloody.
Yan Li was angry in his heart, and said angrily: "I'll come again tomorrow, if he doesn't agree tomorrow, I will have someone forcibly dig up the grave and open the coffin." ”
Qi Tanying was a little disapproving, "I have already said that I have moved Mrs. Chang, and she will try to persuade Chang Jiao." Although she wanted to recover her father's bones as soon as possible, she didn't want him to be blamed for oppressing the people.
Fortunately, Mrs. Chang did not disappoint, and when they went to Chang's house again the next day, Chang Jiaoyu relented and agreed to open the coffin for an autopsy.
On the day the coffin was opened, Chang Jiaoyu and Mrs. Chang both went, and saw her daughter's coffin being opened, Mrs. Chang couldn't help but hide her face and cry, and Chang Jiaoyu's eyes were red.
He picked up the bones in the coffin one by one, pieced them together into a human shape, and began to examine them. Qi Tanying's heart hung in her throat, both worried and frightened, if this corpse was not from her father Qi Heming, what would she do?
Yan Li took in her expression, patted her shoulder gently, and said softly: "Don't worry, everything has me." ”
Qi Tanying glanced at him and calmed down a little.
This time, it has been tested for a long time, and there are servants from Dali Temple, and no one dares to urge. About an hour later, he raised his head and said, "I'm sure, this corpse is Lord Qi's." ”
As for the other results, they cannot be read out in public.
Hearing this, Qi Tanying was surprised and delighted, and her tense heart was instantly relaxed. On the other side of the grave, Mrs. Chang couldn't stand it and fainted, and Chang Jiaoyu was also helped, and the old couple was stimulated, and they looked sympathetic and pitiful.
Yan Li looked at Qi Tanying, "You go back first, I'll go to the county office, and I'll talk about everything when I come back." ”
Qi Tanying understood what he meant, nodded and said, "Then you will say it when you come back." ”
Yan Li touched her head, "Okay." ”
