Steward Teng was helped up and sat down at the kang table.

The two talked about the secrets of the Cao family over the years through the oil lamp on the kang table.

The Cao family was originally the Fang family, and it was only after Lord Cao entered Shanglin Yuan that the plaque was changed and became the Cao family.

Lord Cao has just entered the official position, and he is an agent of Shanglin Yuan, but he is an eight-rank official.

The eight-rank official, in the capital, is not much different from the people, who doesn't have one or two relatives and friends of the eight-rank official? There are even people who live next door, and they are officials of seven or eight grades, who eat the same fritters and soy milk every day.

Until Lord Cao's daughter suddenly married King Ding, the Cao family flew up to the branches, and Lord Cao's official position also went all the way up.

A person who has not undergone scientific research can achieve the fifth grade and dominate the entire Shanglin Garden, which is already the highest position that Lord Cao can go.

And many high-ranking officials will also win over Lord Cao, just for his son-in-law with a different surname.

No matter how high Master Cao is praised, after returning home, he will face a problem, he has no heirs.

So, Lord Cao began to take concubines.

The first concubine of the Cao family died in childbirth, and although the child was born, the mother died of hemorrhage.

That was the first son of the Cao family, and Lord Cao was so happy that he said that when the child grew up, he would hand over everything of the Cao family to the eldest son.

Then the next day, the eldest son died.

Lord Cao's second concubine is almost exactly the same as the death of the first concubine.

But the child lived one more day, and on the third day of his life, he died.

How many concubines after that, almost all of them ended up in the same fate, and Lord Cao's children did not live longer than a year old.

So there was the Taoist priest's ritual.

The Taoist priest was personally invited by Steward Teng, but he was the Taoist temple designated by the Cao family, the designated person.

After the Taoist priest did this, he risked being held accountable by Lord Cao and said that sentence.

"The reason why your heirs are not good is because the male protagonist does not follow his oath. The original owner of this house did not allow children born to other women in the house. ”

Master Cao knew that the Taoist priest was talking about what he promised at his father-in-law's bedside - there is only one wife in this life, no other marriage, no concubines, no outer rooms, and no illegitimate children.

With the words of the Taoist priest as a shield, Mrs. Cao is even more ruthless, and sometimes she encounters a powerful concubine, but she is unwilling to let the concubine give birth to the child, and directly kill two corpses.

Steward Teng's daughter also died like this.

Yang Mujing listened to Steward Teng's words and asked, "Since the Taoist priest said that the Cao family has the soul of the original owner, why didn't Lord Cao move?" ”

Steward Teng said: "It's Mrs. Cao who doesn't move, and Lord Cao doesn't dare to move by himself, for fear that Princess Ding will ask." ”

Yang Mu asked again: "In this way, in fact, Lord Cao and Mrs. Cao are not harmonious. ”

Steward Teng had hatred on his face and said, "Why is it not harmonious? Since Lord Cao took a concubine, he has never entered Mrs. Cao's courtyard. ”

The corners of Yang Mu's mouth also showed disdain, this Lord Cao was really timid and unwilling, and he was cheap and cheap.

Steward Teng said: "Mother Gui said that what the princess wants is evidence. Here are some old slaves. ”

Yang Mu asked curiously: "What kind of empirical evidence is it?" ”

Steward Teng said: "A few times before, the old slave didn't get any evidence, but later the old slave found out about something. Every time those concubines gave birth, Mrs. Cao personally administered the needle and used it together with ginseng tablets. This didn't say anything originally, and it was a common means of production. Until one time, the old slave found out that the ginseng slice was fake! ”

She leaned closer and asked, "Does the princess know that there is a medicinal herb called red jade radish?" ”

Seeing Yang Mu shaking her head, she continued: "This kind of Hongyu radish has a red appearance, and when the skin is removed, it looks the same as ginseng, it is a top-grade product that invigorates blood and dispels blood stasis, and the old slave has also seen it in the account books of Mrs. Cao's pharmacy. ”

Yang Mu frowned slightly, the medicine that invigorates blood and dispels blood stasis?

After the woman gave birth, there was already a lot of bleeding, and if she used blood-invigorating drugs, it would be difficult not to bleed.

Steward Teng said: "Presumably the princess has also figured out the trick. ”

Yang Mu asked: "So, the evidence of Steward Teng is the red jade radish?" ”

Steward Teng said: "There is only one piece of red jade radish, or Mrs. Cao has stopped hiding herself and ignored the evidence of destruction over the years." ”

She took out a small purse from her arms, poured out a piece of shriveled medicinal herbs, and said, "Although this piece is old, the doctor who has the ability can naturally know it." ”

Yang Mu looked at the medicinal herb that looked like a ginseng piece, and was a little helpless. This thing can't be proof.

Steward Teng said: "There is still some evidence, the old slave is hidden, does the princess want it now, or ......?" ”

Yang Mu looked back at the sky and saw that it was not early, but he still nodded and said, "I want it now, otherwise tomorrow, I don't know what will happen." ”

Steward Teng said: "When the old slave left the house, it was in the name of visiting relatives, and he had three days. ”

In other words, within three days, the Cao family will not find the abnormality of Steward Teng.

Yang Mu praised Steward Teng's rigor, and then went with Steward Teng to collect evidence, and then returned to Wanxiangfang.

Steward Teng deposited the evidence in a pawnshop, which was a live pawn, and he could take it out with the pawn ticket and silver.

Yang Mu watched Steward Teng open the box, and he was a little confused.

"Letter?" Yang Mu picked up the envelopes.

Steward Teng said: "These are the flying pigeon biography that Mrs. Cao has received over the years, and they are only a part. ”

Yang Mu opened the envelope, poured out some small notes inside, and opened one of them.

"The price increase, two hundred taels."

Open another one.

"The price increase, two hundred and thirty taels."

Open the third one.

"Out of stock, waiting."

……

Yang Mu: "......"

Steward Teng said: "Judging from the time when those concubines died, this should be something that Mrs. Cao bought from someone."

Yang Mu found clues in this handwriting.

This handwriting is a bit elegant, focusing on the words "two" and "three", which are somewhat special, and are particularly heavy when the pen is closed.

She's seen this kind of writing.

After Liu Yishou gave Yang Zhen a Gu solution before, he left a conditioning prescription, in which there were these two numbers in the weight of the medicinal materials.

The handwriting is exactly the same as in front of you.

Steward Teng looked at Yang Mu in a daze curiously, and after a while, he couldn't help asking: "Doesn't the princess know the clues of the person who wrote the letter?" ”

Yang Mu nodded slightly, and said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, you don't have to worry about it, you can live in Wanxiangfang for the time being, if you think of anything, let Sister-in-law Zhu come to me." ”

Steward Teng watched Yang Mu take away all the evidence, and it seemed that something was missing in his heart.

Ever since she saw her daughter's body, she has been waiting for an opportunity to put the Cao family and his wife to death.

It's just that she is a slave who sells herself to the Cao family, and the person with the highest status that she can contact is Princess Ding.

If the princess knew that she had two hearts, and she was afraid that the first one would kill her, how could she avenge her poor daughter?

Now that she has finally come into contact with the princess of the protector through Gui's mother, she must not miss this opportunity!
