Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 103

[Chapter 72: Please call me Little Vinegar King]

When he reached the weeping flower door, Teng Yuyi glanced at Jing Chenshitai. Shizuka Tai Li was talking to several great monks in front of the court, and she was the shortest in the crowd.

“Teng Tanyue.” Jing Chenshi took the initiative to greet her, she was born with a pair of small short legs, and she was an acute child, so every time she took a step, she was faster and more urgent than others.

Teng Yuyi hurriedly stepped forward: “Please be safe for Shi Tai.” The

JingChen Master was too full of guilt: “After Teng Tanyue and poor Dao talked about that day, Poor Dao took two disciples down to the underground palace to look for it, but unfortunately the organ had already started several rounds, and the things were no longer in place, and after looking for a long time, they could not help Teng Tanyue find the step shake.” Teng Yuyi stabbed

in the chest, but she felt sorry in her heart, and she knew that she could not complain about others, so she busied herself with a ritual and earnestly said: “I accidentally lost my object myself, but the laborer helped to find it, and the teacher was too kind and kind, which is really touching.” I was not allowed to move around without permission for a while, and I was scheduled to go to Guiguan another day to offer more incense candles. The

Jing Dust Master waved his hand too much: “The words are heavy.” Losing his step and shaking so anxiously, it can be seen that Teng Tanyue cherishes the things of his deceased mother very much, Tanyue is pure filial piety, and the poor Dao dares to be slow.

At this time, Madame Du came with Du Shaotang, and sighed: “Yuzhen Female Crown Guanguan has always been a spiritual experience, Yu’er has recently been in trouble, my aunt has long wanted to go to Guan Li to burn incense, or I will go to the aunt as an aunt for the child.” During

the conversation, two great monks, Ming Xin and Seeing Sex, came over and invited Master Jingchen to have a vegetarian meal in the temple.

The Jing Dust Master was too happy, and immediately threw away the dust, and said happily, “Then it will be annoying for the two mages to lead the way.” Madame Du took a few children to the Yun Hall, sat down and opened the food box she brought: “It’s

all made by your aunt, stuffed with vegetarian food, eat with confidence, good child, you have to endure for a few days, and when this storm has passed, your aunt will make you more meat dishes that you love to eat.”

After saying this, he folded his hands and closed his eyes and murmured, “Great Compassion and Great Compassion Bodhisattva, bless my Jade Er to cross the river safely.”

Du Shaotang laughed and said, “Ah Niang, if there is such a thing as you, one moment you will eat and pray the Buddha, and the next you will go to the Taoist Temple to give incense to your jade cousin.”
Madame
Du lifted her eyelids and forcefully glanced at her son.

Du Tinglan couldn’t help but laugh at his brother: “Don’t talk nonsense, Ah Niang is confused.” When you are young, you know ah niang’s motherly heart.

Du Shaotang sat down next to Teng Yuyi and said worriedly: “In the morning, we passed the Dali Temple, and saw Cheng Wang Shizi talking to an old woman in front of the door, when it was still dark, I thought I was wrong, and I drove the horse closer to see, it was really him.” This case is not particularly difficult to handle, even The Prince of Cheng’s son got up early and greedy.

Teng Yuyi was frightened, last night when Lin Chengyou left, he said that he was going to go to the prison to interrogate Zhuang Mu, and he got up so early in the morning, should he be busy all night.

She touched her chin and whispered, “It seems to be quite tricky, the murderer has not left any clues so far, but speaking of this, Lin Chengyou’s handling of the case was already quite desperate, and if nothing else, he broke the cases in three days when he returned to Cai Feng Lou.” Madame Du’s

heart fluttered slightly, and she turned her head to look at Teng Yuyi carefully, and when the child said this, her eyes were clear, and her expression was not twisted at all.

She looked at it carefully, and she felt that she had thought too much about it.

She sighed with emotion: “I have long heard that King Shizi is good at judging the case, I think it will not always be flattered by the officials at the bottom, Shao Tang, you see, Tianhuang Guiguan is still like this, you should also be more diligent than in the past, turn around and your grandfather let you memorize more books, you give me less pain.”

Du Shaotang muttered, no matter what he said, Ah Niang always had a way to get around him.

He fled into the wilderness: “I have heard that the scenery of the Great Hidden Temple is quiet for a long time, and my son has gone outside for a walk.” The

more Madame Du thought about it, the more uneasy she became, and she clasped Teng Yuyi’s hand and said, “Did you see the murderer that day?” I heard that the thief had killed a lot of people, so he wouldn’t come to the Great Hidden Temple.

Teng Yuyi said, “Rest assured, now the Great Hidden Temple is the safest place under the heavens, and there are many high monks and good fortunes around me, so I don’t dare to make a fool of myself.” She was

afraid that her aunt would think wildly, so she buried her head in her aunt’s arms: “Turn around and wait for me to go out of the temple, I want to borrow Gui Mi from you.”
Madame
Du was shy, and her eyes softened: “You want to personally cut a dress for Grandpa, don’t you?” Last time your sister told me, this is a good thing, if your grandfather knows, I am not sure how happy, and wait, when you return home, your aunt will send Guimi to you. The

Peng Huayue sisters and Li Huaigu also met with their families individually, although they were only trapped in the temple for one night, it was as if they had been locked up for a whole year, asking this and inquiring about that, as if there were endless words.

Only Duan Qingying spoke to the people below in a low voice, clearly afraid of being heard.

Madame Du suddenly patted her head: “I almost forgot the right thing.” Zheng Shuhui’s grand duke is going to be engaged to Wu Zhongcheng’s eldest wife, the two families intend to send posts to the provinces from Jane, the two families and the Tengfu are also considered to be family friends, your grandfather may not be able to take care of it, you don’t forget to ask Cheng Bo to send a gift to the Zheng family and the Wu family.

Teng Yuyi had never dealt with Wu Da Niang head-on in his previous life and this life, only heard that Wu Da Niang Wu Zhen had a quiet temperament and did not often go out to socialize, but Wu Er Niang Wu Qi she was familiar with, that day in the Yuzhen Female Crown View, Wu Qi and Zheng Shuangyin’s courage impressed her, and she should also prepare a generous gift for Wu Qi’s personality.

She said busily: “I will let people send a letter to Cheng Bo later.” The

Peng family over there also seemed to have talked about this matter, and Peng Huayue was curious: “Have you been dating since you were a child, why did you only recently celebrate?” “It is

said that Zheng Shuhui has calculated the fate of Grand Duke Zheng, and it is not appropriate for Grand Duke Zheng to be engaged before twenty, but Zheng Shuhui and Wu Zhongcheng are extremely satisfied with this affair, so they specially wait until Grand Duke Zheng is twenty years old before passing the ceremony.”

Peng Jinxiu said, “No wonder Wu Qi said that her sister didn’t have time to come to our flower viewing party recently, and it turned out that she was going to prepare for the engagement.” Wu Qi’s sister is probably also a beauty. Her voice was

slightly higher, causing everyone to cast their eyes over, Teng Yuyi inadvertently glanced at it, and saw Duan Qingying hanging in his hand, and his face was ugly as if covered with a layer of ash.

Peng Fu’s subordinates laughed and said, “Lady Wu looks good and has a good temperament, Grand Duke Zheng is also a table of talents, and Chang’an says that this family affair is made in heaven and earth.”

Duan Qingying Huo Ran got up, and Peng Jinxiu and the others were a little surprised: “Qingying, what’s wrong with you?”

Duan Qingying put his hand on his forehead and smiled lightly, “I am not used to living in the temple, Xu is a cold, I will not use your breakfast, first go back to the east wing to rest.” Du Fu

brought a lot of snacks, Du Tinglan estimated that Teng Yuyi was enough to eat, was personally giving the snacks to Peng Huayue and others, and handed two boxes to Duan Qingying: “If you don’t have breakfast, you should be hungry later, this is the vegetarian snacks made by my aunt, take two boxes back to eat.”

Duan Qingying did not guard against smelling the aroma of the dim sum, and Dengshi showed an expression of wanting to vomit.

Du Tinglan and the others were stunned.

Duan Qingying hurriedly turned her head to cover her throat, pressed down hard, and then squeezed out a smile: “Thank you.” Saying

that, he personally took the snack and walked over to thank Du Fufu.

Madame Du looked at the back of Duan Qingying’s hurried departure, and her expression was a little confused.

Teng Yuyi gently pushed Madame Du’s arm: “Auntie, what are you thinking?”
Madame
Du replied and smiled, “My aunt remembered that when she was pregnant, she couldn’t eat like a wound.” You must be careful these days, the temple is fineNo matter how good the house is, it is not as comfortable as at home, at night, ask Chun Velvet to prepare more bed quilts for you, don’t be infected with wind and cold like Duan Niangzi. Teng Yuyi

heard this for the first time, she thought that pregnancy was just getting bigger and bigger with each passing day, and it turned out that it would be as uncomfortable as a cold.

At this moment, Mingxin came over to urge everyone to leave, and Lady Du asked if she could stay with Teng Yuyi in the temple for a few days, but Mingxin gently refused, and Lady Du had to leave the temple with Du Tinglan and Du Shaotang.

Teng Yuyi went all the way to the temple gate, and when Mrs. Du and her daughter got into the car, the calf suddenly shook.

Du Shaotang ran to the front of the car to take a look, and quickly turned around: “Ah Niang, you and Sister Ah are talking more with Jade Cousin here, and I will go to the nearby Ma Yan xing to get a car.”
Madame
Du and Du Tinglan were surprised: “What’s wrong?” “The

calf’s feet are cramping and he can’t get there for a while.” He then instructed Huo Qiu, “Brother Huo, you should stay here and take care of it.” Teng Yuyi originally wanted

Duan Fu to do it, but seeing that Du Shaotang quickly made up his mind, he smiled slightly in his heart, and he did not help Zhang Luo.

Du Shaotang was about to leave, when the abbot of Yuanjue and the king of Chun’an County came out, and when they saw the situation and asked the reason, Mingxin said that the Du family’s calf car was broken.

Lady Du and a few children went forward to perform the ceremony, and listened to the King of Chun’an County: “Give my calf cart to Lady Du to use, and then I will ride a noble horse into the palace.”
Madame
Du said busily, “I don’t dare to bother His Highness the King of the County, I have already said that I will let the dog go to the horse and hire a car.” King Chun’an Junluo sighed, “The

nearest horse-based line is also several streets away from here, and it is less than an hour to go back and forth.” Madame need not be worried, in the early years I received the great favor of General Teng, and I have always admired Du Gong’s character, and today I happened to see it, and I could not stand idly by, not to mention such a small matter, it was really just a show of hands.
Although
his tone was not warm, it was very sincere, and if he refused again, it would be deliberate, and Lady Du had to say gratefully: “Then thank you Very much Your Highness the King of the County.”

Ah Niang spoke, Du Shaotang also stopped planning to hire a car, and after a while, the subordinates of the County King’s Mansion moved the calf cart to the door, and Lady Du led the children to thank the Chun’an County King repeatedly and drove home.

***

Lin Chengyou looked at Chen Sangu in front of him, last night’s words were really useful, this woman was waiting at the gate of Dali Temple at dawn, but her head and face were tightly wrapped, as if she was afraid of being recognized.

“Your lady hasn’t been sleeping soundly since she got pregnant?”

Chen Sangu’s eyes flashed with fear: “But no, when Madame first married into the house, she was fine, and after she became pregnant, she added a lot of strange problems, even if she took a lunch break during the day, she had to shout two girls to accompany her in front of the bed, and she didn’t know what she was afraid of.” “Do

you know about this?”

“I know that Shizi has always loved Madame very much, so she specially went to the Yuzhen Female Crown Temple to invite Master Jingchen to the door, did a ritual, and pasted a number of charms on the doors and windows, so that The lady is better.”

Lin Chengyou suddenly said, “You know what your lady is afraid of.”

Chen Sangu was frightened, “How could a slave know?”

Lin Chengyou smiled and nodded, “If you really don’t know, how could you come to Dali Temple early in the morning?” Yesterday you heard that the murderer may know Xiao Jiang’s family, scared all night without sleeping, you are Xiao Jiang’s steward lady, if the murderer wants to kill, the first one will find you. If you hide it any longer, let alone Dali Temple, the gods and immortals will not be able to save you. Chen Sangu’s legs were straight and weak, and she said with a crying voice, “It’s

not that the slave doesn’t want to say it, but saying these things will cause great trouble.”

She bit her lip and said, “Everyone in the house says that the former lady was killed by the lady.” “The

front lady? Big Ginger? Lin Chengyou said deliberately, “Isn’t your lady the biological sister of the Great Jiang Clan?”

Chen Sangu nodded uneasily, “The blame is here.” Madame had married into the house last year, and at first everything was normal, but it wasn’t long before she took away the old maid of the former lady, and the clothes and jewelry of the former lady were either locked in the box by her, or simply moved to the storeroom, and distributed to the end, and there was nothing left of the old people and old things.

“The people at the bottom said that those were all left by their own sisters, and the former lady treated her sister as well as when she was alive, and the lady even left a thought, but the lady was so determined, as if she was afraid of seeing these things.”

“It happened that once When Da Lang woke up in the middle of the night to look for Ah Niang, Madame took Da Lang in her arms and coaxed him, and Da Lang slept in a confused state, and threw a tantrum and pushed Madam: You drove my Aunt away, you returned my Aunt niang to me.

Madame changed her face on the spot. Since then, Madame has still taken good care of The Elder Lang and the Eldest Lady, but privately she has been much colder. The slave maid wondered in her heart how the child’s words could be taken seriously, and why did the lady always remember hatred.

“In addition to these things, several old people in the house said that when the lady was not married, she was confused with shizi. Last year the lady came to visit her nephew, one night Shizi was drunk, and somehow she entered the lady’s guest room, and stayed in the lady’s room until midnight that night before coming out, and the next day they went into the house to pick up, although the lady cleaned up in advance, but the bed bag clearly left traces, the lady saw her brother-in-law the next day, and her demeanor was also charming, and they all said that the lady really lost her virginity before marriage. But speaking of this, the former lady has also passed away for a few years, Shizi has no one to take care of her, the lady has become more beautiful than before in recent years, and it is not surprising that Shizi will be moved.

Lin Chengyou asked, “Do you know these discussions about your son and uncle?”

Chen Sangu sighed, “Who dares to spread it to the ears of Uncle and Shizi.” Uncle Wei gave the order, knowing that we dared to talk about the Lord’s house, and would beat us to death. Shizi is now in love with his wife, and hearing these words will only say that we slander the master mother. Speaking of which, the lady took it upon herself to distribute the things of the former lady, and Shizi also fired several times, but the lady said that she saw things and thought of people, because she was too sad to put away her sister’s things, and every time she talked about this, the lady cried well and was not sad, and Shizi was also soft-hearted.

Lin Chengyou held the corners of his mouth: “Her words are a little reasonable, you just guess that it was her sister who killed because of this, it is too far-fetched, is there something else in it?”

Chen Sangu licked her dry lips: “Speaking of this, we have to start from the former lady Linbin.”
When
Da Jiang clan was last pregnant, Xiao Jiang clan lived in the house, Xiao Jiang clan took care of his sister to do his best, and Da Jiang clan also cherished his sister very much. When it was almost time to go to the basin, the house called the stable mother to come, and the stable mother saw that the fetus was not large, the fetal head was also put into the basin on time, and the lady had given birth once, and it was expected that there would be no problem. How do you know that when The Great Jiang Clan had an attack that day, he could not survive, was born in bed for two days and two nights, and finally lost blood alive and died.

“Shizi and uncle afterwards to find someone to track down, Feng Yu said that the front lady seems to be eating something is not quite right, but the front head lady’s meal has always been cooked by the chef himself, everything has been checked by the front head lady and the people around him, checked for several days, no poison, two slippery tires, Feng Yu had to say that the front head lady is a delicate person, such a person is most likely to hurt the spirit, the lady is working hard every day, xu is because of this reason will be difficult to give birth. When Shizi heard this, he felt extremely guilty.

“At that time, the old lady was also sick in bed, and after a month she died, and shizi lost his wife and mother, and he was grief-stricken all day, and the house was busy with funerals, and this matter was over.”

After saying these words, Chen Sangu uneasily twisted her hand:”Your Royal Highness, this is what the slave knows.” I don’t know if I can help you solve the case, it is best to catch the murderer as soon as possible.

Lin Chengyou said, “I ask you again, why did your wife suddenly go to that spice shop that day?” Did someone invite her to go?

Chen Sangu buried her head and thought for a while, shook her head, and said: “I remember that I didn’t receive a post in the house the day before, and it is estimated that Madame is going to go on a whim, but this is not surprising, Madame used to do this before, such as suddenly wanting to eat the fruit of a certain family, saying that she would go out.” “How long have

you been with Xiao Jiang?”

“When he married into the Bo Mansion, the old slave was assigned to serve his wife, and it was more than a year.”

Lin Chengyou asked again, “Your lady is from Huazhou, so does she recognize a person named Shu Liniang?”

Chen Sangu shook her head blankly: “I don’t know, Madame never mentioned it.” Then

he said, “Shizi, the slave maid came out secretly, and if there is nothing to do, the slave maid will resign first.”

Lin Chengyou said, “Slowly.” Is there a diminutive male subordinate in your house?

He measured it up a bit: “Probably so high.”

Chen Sangu was slightly surprised: “Such a short male subordinate?” Never seen it.

“You think about it again. This person may not have been working in your house for a long time, as long as he has been in and out of your house. “The

slave maid has been serving in the Bo Mansion for more than forty years, and if there is such a person in the house, he will certainly not be able to hide the eyes of the slave maid, and the slave maid really has never seen it.”

As soon as Chen Sangu left, Lin Chengyou decided to go to Shu Liniang’s cousin, and it just so happened that Yan Sizhi had just returned early in the morning to interrogate Shu Liniang’s maids, and he got off his horse at the door and said breathlessly: “Shu Liniang does not know Xiao Jiang’s family, and those subordinates said that Shu Liniang never mentioned Xiao Jiang’s family, let alone seen Xiao Jiang’s family.”

Lin Chengyou was a delay, Xiao Jiang and Shu Liniang were both from Huazhou, and he thought that they had known each other in the past, which could also explain why the murderer had found out the details of the two in one day.

But today’s two ends of this question, Chen Sangu did not know Shu Liniang, Shu Liniang’s subordinates did not know Xiao Jiang’s family, if these two people had contact, it was impossible for the people on both sides to be unaware.

This at least shows that for more than a year, Shu Liniang and Xiao Jiang have not interacted, so how did the two of them get targeted by the murderer at the same time?

Lin Chengyou frowned and thought, removing the past acquaintance, whether the two people would have anything in common, he did not know for the time being.

He busied himself with the pen book handed by Yan Sizhi: “Where has Shu Liniang been in the past two months?”

Yan Jizhi recorded meticulously, and nodded in the book: “Just like Zheng Shujie said last night, this month Shu Liniang only went out on the night of the Shangwei Festival, and then went to the silk satin village in the West Market to cut clothes once, this shop is next to the Pink Butterfly Building, called Huan Sha Zhai.” Last month, Shu Liniang went to the door many times: went to Xishi to buy ink, went to Yuzhen Female Crown Temple to walk through Qing, went to the ‘Jinyun Waterfall’ in Dongshi to cut clothes, and also went to these huhao to eat hu food, which is where Chang’an’s mother loves to go——””

Jinyun Waterfall?” Lin Chengyou’s eyes were fixed on that line of records.

Xiao Jiang also cut clothes at this shop.

He handed the pen book back to Yan Jizhi, turned on his horse, and said, “Let’s go, let’s go to Dongshi first.” Halfway

up the road, the opposite side skimmed over a calf car, Lin Chengyou had no intention of looking around, the horse and the calf car passed by, suddenly felt that something was wrong, and subconsciously strangled the reins.

Yan Ji was also busy: “What’s wrong?” Lin Chengyou looked

back at the end of the alley, and if he read it correctly, the person riding the horse was Du Shaotang.

Du Shaotang’s horse accompanied the calf cart, and the calf car was estimated to be sitting with the du family’s female relatives, which was originally normal, but the calf car next to Du Shaotang was the emperor’s uncle.

How could the du family’s female relatives sit in Uncle Huang’s calf car?

Yan Ji looked straight down and nodded his head in understanding, “It seems to be the calf of king Chun’an County.”

Lin Chengyou shook the reins and continued to drive his horse towards dongshi, but he couldn’t help but wonder in his heart, Du Jiamen looked at Qinggui, Du Yuzhi and the emperor were not acquaintances, how could the female relatives of the Du family get on the emperor’s calf car.

By the way, yesterday Teng Yuyi said that Du Tinglan was going to stay at dayins and monasteries for one night, and this calf car happened to come from the direction of dayin temple, if Du Shaotang and his mother went to Dali Temple to visit Teng Yuyi today, then it would be logical to take Du Tinglan back home.

But where did the Du family’s own calf car go? Broken?

Uncle Huang has always stooped to the corporal, and it happened to be seen, and it was understandable to take the initiative to let the calf out.

The question is why the Du family is willing to accept this kindness.

What’s even stranger is that the aunt’s car is broken, why didn’t Teng Yuyi let Duan Fu get the car for her aunt, she also felt that she could accept the emperor’s kindness?

Suddenly, I thought that that night in the Ledao Mountain Villa, Teng Yuyi was anxious to get bath soup for Xiao Ya, Teng Yuyi was stealing from him, and when he found the emperor’s head, he let his uncle directly ask for it.

Did Teng Yuyi already know that Uncle Huang was temperamental and modest, so he dared to mention it to his face even the unreasonable request of “begging for bath soup”.

Thinking about it, when he arrived at the gate of the East Market, Lin Chengyou got off his horse to inquire where the “Jinyun Waterfall” was, and then went straight inside with Yanji.

After walking a few steps side by side, I listened to Yan Jizhi say: “Speaking of the Junwang of Chun’an, last year, one of my relatives from Minshan was drunk, and accidentally rammed the calf car of His Highness the Junwang when he was wandering around, and the relative heard that the person sitting in the car was His Highness, and he was frightened and lost his soul. At that time, the alley was extremely remote, and His Highness the King of the County was still so considerate of others, so it can be seen that the virtue in private is also consistently good. Then

he laughed: “On that day, I also heard several ladies say that the little lady of Chang’an City who was devoted to His Highness the King of the County did not know how many, and in the future I did not know which lady would be fortunate enough to marry His Highness the King of the County.”

Lin Chengyou pondered for a while and asked with his head held high: “For what reason does the little lady usually look at a certain Lang Jun?”

Yan Jizhi said: “This is a lot, such as liking the talent of a certain Lang Jun, or liking the character of Lang Jun, and there are also those who look at the middle door, or those who look at the appearance.” If the rank or character are on the same level, then what you see is the appearance. Looks

.

Lin Chengyou glanced straight at Yan Si, and quickly looked straight ahead and said, “That—according to Yan Si’s direct look, who was born well with Uncle Huang?” ”
