MTL - Capture the Jade-Chapter 72 please call me little vinegar king

Outside the Chuihuamen, Teng Yuyi saw Master Jing Chen at a glance. Jingchen Shi Taili spoke with several great monks in front of the court, and she was the shortest among the crowd.

"Teng Tanyue." Master Jing Chen took the initiative to greet her. She was born with a pair of short legs, and she was born to be impatient, so every time she took a step, she appeared faster and more impatient than others.

Teng Yuyi hurriedly stepped forward: "Greetings to the teacher."

Master Jingchen was too guilty: "After Teng Tanyue told Pindao that day, Pindao took the two disciples down to the underground palace to look for them, but unfortunately the agency has already started several rounds, and the things are no longer in their original places. For a long time, I couldn't help Teng Tanyue find that Bu Yao."

Teng Yuyi was stabbed in the chest, but no matter how much she regretted it, she knew that she couldn't blame anyone else for this matter. She hurriedly bowed and said earnestly, "I accidentally lost something myself, but the labor teacher helped me to find it, and the teacher was kind-hearted. It's really impressive. I'm not allowed to walk around without authorization for a while, and I will go to Guiguan another day to offer more incense candles."

Master Jing Chen waved his hand too: "The words are serious. Losing Bu Yao is so anxious, it can be seen that Teng Tanyue cherishes the things of his deceased mother very much. Tanyue is pure filial piety.

At this time, Mrs. Du brought Du Shaotang over, and sighed when she heard the words: "Yuzhen's request for signing the crown has always been effective. Yu'er has been plagued by disasters recently. As an aunt, I have long wanted to go to the temple to burn incense, or I can do it by myself. My aunt, let me go for the child."

While talking, two great monks, Mingxin and Jianxing, came over and invited Master Jingchen to have a vegetarian meal in the temple.

Master Jing Chen was a very happy person, and immediately flicked his whisk, and said cheerfully, "Then I will trouble the two masters to lead the way."

Mrs. Du brought a few children to the Yunhui Hall, and when she sat down, Gui Li opened the food box she brought: "It's all made by my aunt, plain stuffing, so you can eat it at ease, good boy, please bear with it for a few days, wait for this time. The turmoil is over, and my aunt will cook you more meat dishes that you love."

After speaking, he folded his hands together, closed his eyes and murmured, "The Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, bless my Yu'er in a safe passage."

Du Shaotang said with a smile: "Auntie, how can you be like this, you have to eat fast food and recite Buddha, and then go to Taoist temple to give incense to cousin Yu."

Madam Du opened her eyelids and gave her son a hard look.

Du Tinglan smiled and spat at her younger brother: "Don't talk nonsense, A-Niang is in a hurry. You are so young, how can you understand A-Niang's loving mother's heart."

Du Shaotang sat down next to Teng Yuyi and said worriedly, "We passed Dali Temple in the morning and saw Prince Cheng talking to an old woman in front of the door. Ma came closer and saw that it was actually him. Isn't this case particularly difficult to handle, even the Prince Cheng has been up early and late in the night."

Teng Yuyi was startled. When Lin Chengyou left last night, he said that he was going to interrogate Zhuang Mu in the big prison. He got up so early in the morning, so he wouldn't 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 when it comes to this, Lin Chengyou has been working very hard to handle the case. He solved the case in three days."

Mrs. Du's heart moved slightly, and she turned her head to look at Teng Yuyi carefully. The child's eyes were clear when he said this, and his expression was not twisted at all.

She looked at it carefully for a while, and felt that she was thinking too much.

She sighed with emotion: "I've heard that Prince Cheng is good at deciding cases, but I think it's not always flattering from the officials below. Look at Shaotang, Tianhuang is still like this, you should be more diligent than before, look back. Your grandfather asked you to memorize a few more books, and you don't complain to me."

Du Shaotang pouted, no matter what she said, A-Niang always found a way to get around him.

He fled in despair: "I have heard for a long time that the Dayin Temple is quiet and peaceful, and my son went outside for a walk."

The more Mrs. Du thought about it, the more uneasy she became. She clenched Teng Yuyi's hand and said, "Did you see the murderer that day? I heard that the thief killed a lot of people, so he won't come to Dayin Temple."

Teng Yuyi said: "Don't worry, Dayin Temple is now the safest place in the world. There are many eminent monks and good fortune around me. Forgive the thief who dare not act rashly."

Afraid of her aunt's wild thoughts, she buried her head in her aunt's arms: "I'll wait for me to leave the temple, and I want to borrow Guilin from you."

Mrs. Du was stunned, her eyes softened: "Do you want to cut some clothes for Grandpa yourself? Your sister told me last time that this is a good thing. If your grandpa knew about it, he might be very happy. , and wait, when you get home, my aunt will bring Gui Ni to you."

Sister Peng Huayue and Li Huaigu also met with their family members. Although they were sleepy in the temple for only one night, they seemed to be locked up for a whole year. .

Only Duan Qingying spoke with the servants in a low voice, clearly afraid of being heard.

Mrs. Du suddenly patted her forehead: "I almost forgot about the business. Zheng Pushe's eldest son is about to be engaged with Wu Zhongcheng's eldest lady, and the two intend to never send messages to the various houses. The two are considered family friends with the Teng House. Your grandfather may not be able to take care of you because you are busy, so don't forget to ask Cheng Bo to give a gift to the Zheng family and the Wu family."

Teng Yuyi has never dealt with Aunt Wu directly in the past and this life. I only heard that Aunt Wu Wu Zhang has a quiet temperament and does not often go out to socialize. The courage of Wu Qi and Zheng Shuangyin impressed her deeply, and she should also prepare a generous gift for Wu Qi's behavior.

She hurriedly said, "I'll have someone send a letter to Uncle Cheng later."

It seems that the Peng family over there has also talked about this matter. Peng Huayue asked curiously, "Have you been engaged since you were a child? Why did you only greet him recently?"

"It is said that Zheng Pushe has made people count the fate of the first son of Zheng, and it is not suitable for the first son of Zheng to be engaged before he is twenty, but both Zheng Pushe and Wu Zhongcheng are very satisfied with the marriage, so they specially waited until the first son of Zheng turned twenty. Just a courtesy."

Peng Jinxiu said: "No wonder Wu Qi said that day that her sister didn't have time to attend our flower viewing party. It turned out to be preparing for an engagement. Wu Qi's sister is probably also a beauty."

Her voice was a little high, which attracted everyone's attention. Teng Yuyi glanced at it inadvertently, and saw Ropa, who was in Duan Qingying's hands, with an ugly face as if covered with dust.

The servant of the Peng Mansion smiled and said, "Ms. Wu looks good and has a good temperament, and Young Master Zheng is also a talented person. Chang'an said that this marriage was made in heaven."

Duan Qingying got up suddenly, Peng Jinxiu and others were a little surprised: "Qingying, what's wrong with you?"

Duan Qingying paid her forehead with her hand, and smiled lightly: "I'm not used to living in the temple. Maybe it's a cold, so I won't have breakfast with you. I'll go back to the East Wing and take a rest."

Du Fu brought a lot of dim sum, Du Tinglan estimated that Teng Yuyi had enough to eat, and was presenting the dim sum to Peng Huayue and others in person, and handed the two boxes to Duan Qingying: "If you don't have breakfast, you will be hungry later. , this is a vegetarian snack made by my mother, take two boxes and eat it back."

Duan Qingying was not careful to smell the aroma of dim sum, and immediately showed an expression of vomiting.

Du Tinglan and others were stunned.

Duan Qingying hurriedly turned her head and covered her throat, pressed it down abruptly, and then squeezed out a smile and said, "Thank you."

As he said that, he took the dessert with his own hands and came over to thank Mrs. Du.

Mrs. Du looked at the back of Duan Qingying hurriedly leaving with a puzzled expression.

Teng Yuyi gently pushed Mrs. Du's arm: "Aunt, what are you thinking?"

Madam Du regained her senses and smiled: "My aunt remembered that when she was pregnant, she couldn't eat like a cold. You must be careful these days, no matter how good the temple is, it's not as good as at home. Feel free, ask Chunrong to prepare more quilts for you at night, don't catch the cold like Duan Niangzi."

It was the first time that Teng Yuyi heard this statement. She thought that pregnancy was just because her belly was getting bigger day by day, so it would be as uncomfortable as a cold.

As soon as she spoke, Mingxin came over to urge everyone to leave. Mrs. Du asked herself if she could stay with Teng Yuyi in the temple for a few days, but Mingxin politely refused, so Mrs. Du had to take Du Tinglan and Du Shaotang to leave the temple.

Teng Yuyi walked straight to the temple gate. When Mrs. Du and her daughter got into the car, the cart suddenly shook.

Du Shaotang ran to the car to take a look, and quickly turned around: "Aniang, you and sister are here to talk to Cousin Yu. I'll go to the nearby horse bridle and rent a car."

Mrs. Du and Du Tinglan asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

"The calf has cramps in his legs, and he can't travel for a while." He then instructed Huo Qiu, "Brother Huo, stay here and take care of it."

Teng Yuyi originally wanted Duanfu to handle it, but seeing that Du Shaotang quickly made up his mind, he smiled slightly and stopped helping Zhang Luo.

Du Shaotang was about to leave when the abbot Yuanjue and the Prince of Chun'an happened to come out. Seeing this and asking why, Mingxin said that the Du family's cart was broken.

Mrs. Du brought a few children to salute, and she listened to the king of Chun'an County: "Give me my cart for Mrs. Du, and I will ride your expensive horse into the palace."

Mrs. Du hurriedly said: "I don't dare to bother His Royal Highness, I have already agreed to let the dog go to the horse bridle to hire a car."

The Prince of Chun'an County pondered for a while: "The nearest horse bridle is several streets away from here, so I don't need to talk about an hour back and forth. Madam, don't worry about it, I received the great grace of General Teng in the early years, and I have always admired Duke Du's character. , I happened to see it today, so I can’t just stand by, let alone such trivial matters, it’s really just a matter of hands.”

Although his tone was not warm, he was very sincere. If he refused blindly, it would appear deliberate. Madam Du had to say gratefully: "Then thank you, Your Highness."

After Aniang sent a message, Du Shaotang also stopped and planned to hire a car. After a while, the servants of the county king's mansion moved the car to the door. Mrs. Du led the children to thank the king of Chun'an county again and again, and drove the horse back. home.

***

Lin Chengyou looked at Chen Sangu in front of her. What she said last night was really useful. This woman was waiting at the door of Dali Temple before dawn, but her face was tightly wrapped, as if she was afraid of being recognized.

"Your wife has not been able to sleep well since she was pregnant?"

Chen Sangu's eyes flickered with fear: "No, Madam was fine when she first married into the mansion, but after she became pregnant, she developed some strange problems. Even if she took a lunch break during the day, she had to call two maids in bed. I'm with you, and I don't know what I'm afraid of."

"Does your son know about this?"

"I know, the prince has always loved his wife very much. For this reason, he specially invited Master Jing Chen to come to Yuzhen's Nursing Guan Guan, performed a ritual, and pasted a lot of talismans on the doors and windows. The wife is better."

Lin Chengyou suddenly said: "You know what your wife is afraid of."

Chen Sangu shivered with fright: "How could this servant know."

Lin Chengyou smiled and nodded: "If you really don't know, why would you come to Dali Temple so early in the morning? Yesterday you heard that the murderer might know the little Jiang family, so you were so frightened that you didn't sleep all night, you belong to the little Jiang family. Madam in charge, if the murderer wants to silence you, he will be the first to find you. If you hide it, let alone Dali Temple, the gods can't save you."

Chen Sangu's legs were straight and weak, and she said with a crying voice: "It's not that the slave does not want to say it, but saying these things will cause serious trouble."

She bit her lip and said to her heart: "Everyone in the house said that the former lady was killed by the lady."

"The former madam? Da Jiang's family?" Lin Chengyou said deliberately, "Isn't your wife Da Jiang's biological sister?"

Chen Sangu nodded uneasily: "The blame is here. Madam married into the mansion last year, everything was normal at first, but it didn't take long for her to find a reason to drive away all the former madam's old maids, the former madam's clothes. And jewelry, either locked in the box by her, or simply moved to the warehouse, and at the end of the distribution, the old people and the old things were not left.

"The people below said that those were all left by my own sister. The former lady treated her sister as well when she was alive, and even if the lady left a thought, it was fine, but the lady was so determined, as if she was afraid of seeing these things. similar.

"It happened once that Dalang woke up in the middle of the night to look for A-Niang, and the wife hugged Da-Lang in her arms to coax him. Da-Long slept in a daze and got angry and pushed his wife: You drove my A-Niang away, you put My aunt gave it back to me.

"Madam's expression changed on the spot. Since then, Madam has been taking care of the eldest man and auntie meticulously, but in private she has become a lot colder. The servants felt puzzled in their hearts, how can the child's words be taken seriously, and why should the madam keep holding grudges.

"Besides these things, several old people in the manor said that the wife and the son were not clear when the wife was married. Last year, the wife came to visit her nephew. One night, the son got drunk and entered the wife's guest room for some reason. , I stayed in my wife's room until midnight and came out the next day. The next day they went into the house to tidy up. Although my wife had cleaned it up in advance, there were clearly traces left on the bed. My wife saw my brother-in-law the next day, and her demeanor was also charming. They all said that the wife lost her virginity before marriage. But speaking of this, the former wife has passed away for a few years, and no one has been taking care of the prince. The wife has become more beautiful than before, and the prince will be tempted. Not surprising."

Lin Chengyou asked, "Do your son and uncle know about these discussions?"

Chen Sangu shuddered: "How dare it reach the ears of the uncle and the prince. The uncle is very arrogant, knowing that we dare to talk about the master's family, and we will be beaten to death. The prince is now in love with his wife, and when he hears these words, he can only say We slandered the mistress. Speaking of which, the lady made her own decision to distribute the things of the former lady, and the prince also made a few anger, but the lady said that she saw things and people, because she was too sad, so she put away her sister's things, every time When it comes to this matter, the madam cried so much that she was not sad, and the prince softened his heart."

Lin Chengyou pulled the corner of his mouth: "Her words have some truth. It's too far-fetched for you to guess that it was her sister who killed her just because of this. Is there something else involved?"

Chen Sangu licked her dry lips: "Speaking of this, we have to start with the first wife giving birth."

When Big Jiang was pregnant for the last time, Little Jiang lived in the mansion. Little Jiang did her best to take care of her sister, and Big Jiang also cherished her sister very much. When she was about to give birth, the house called Granny Wen. Granny Wen had seen it and said that the fetus was not big and the head of the fetus was in the basin on time. The wife had given birth once, and she expected that there would be no problem. How could he know that when Da Jiang's attack occurred that day, he was unable to survive, and he was born in bed for two days and two nights, and finally died of blood loss.

"The prince and the uncle found someone to investigate after the incident. Feng Yu said that the former lady seemed to be eating something wrong, but the former lady's meal was always prepared by the chef herself, and everything was checked by the former lady and the people around him. Day, one has no poison, and second, there is no slippery thing, Feng Yu can only say that the former wife is a delicate person, such a person is most likely to be disturbed, and the wife works hard every day, perhaps because of this reason, it will be difficult to give birth. If so, it's a shame.

"At that time, the old lady was also sick in bed, and passed away after a month. The prince lost his wife and mother, and he was grief-stricken all day.

After saying these words, Chen Sangu twisted her hand uneasily: "His Royal Highness, this is what this servant 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'll ask you again, why did your wife suddenly go to that spice shop that day? Did someone invite her there?"

Chen Sangu pondered for a while, then shook her head and said, "I remember that I didn't receive a post in the mansion the day before yesterday, so I guess my wife is going there on a whim, but it's not surprising, my wife used to do this often, for example, she suddenly wanted to eat some fruit from a certain family, so she said to go out. Just go out."

"How long have you been with the little Jiang family?"

"When I married into the uncle's mansion, the old slave was assigned to serve the wife. It has been more than a year."

Lin Chengyou asked again, "Your wife is from Huazhou, so does she know someone named Shu Liniang?"

Chen Sangu shook his head blankly: "I don't know, Madam never mentioned it."

He said again: "Sir, the slaves came out secretly. If there is nothing wrong, the slaves will leave first."

Lin Chengyou said, "Wait. Is there a short man in your house?"

He measured it: "Probably this high."

Chen Sangu was slightly surprised: "Such a short man? I've never seen him before."

"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 slaves have been serving in the Bo Mansion for more than 40 years. If there are such people in the mansion, they must be hidden from the eyes of the slaves. The slaves have never seen them before."

As soon as Chen Sangu left, Lin Chengyou decided to find Shu Liniang's cousin. It happened that Yan Sizhi went to interrogate Shu Liniang's maids early in the morning. He had just returned just now. Knowing Xiao Jiang, those servants said that Shu Liniang never mentioned Xiao Jiang, let alone met Xiao Jiang."

Lin Chengyou was stagnant, Xiao Jiang and Shu Liniang were both from Huazhou. He thought they knew each other in the past, which could also explain why the murderer found out the details of the two in one day.

But the question from the two ends today, Chen Sangu doesn't know Shu Liniang, and Shu Liniang's servants don't know Xiao Jiang's. If the two have been in contact, it is impossible for the servants on both sides to know about it.

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

Lin Chengyou frowned and thought, aside from the fact that they had known each other in the past, whether the two of them would have anything in common is something he doesn't know yet.

He hurriedly took the notebook from Yan Sizhi: "Where has Shu Liniang been in the past two months?"

Yan Sizhi remembered meticulously in the record, and when he heard the words, he clicked on the book: "Like what Zheng Pushe said last night, this month Shu Liniang only went out on the night of the Shangsi Festival, and then went to the silk and satin village in Xishi to cut clothes once. , This shop is next to Fandie Building, called Huanshazhai. In the last month, Shu Liniang visited many times: to buy pen and ink in the West Market, to go to the Yuzhen Nuguan Guanguan to cross the green, and to go to the 'Jinyun Waterfall' in the East Market I've cut clothes, and I've been to these Hu restaurants to eat Hu food, this is the place where the ladies of Chang'an love to go-"

"Jinyun Waterfall?" Lin Chengyou's eyes were fixed on that row of records.

Little Jiang also cut clothes in this shop.

He handed the notebook back to Yan Sizhi, turned on his horse and said, "Let's go, go to Dongshi first."

Halfway through the road, a cart passed by, Lin Chengyou didn't care to look aside, and the horse and the cart passed by, suddenly feeling that something was wrong, and subconsciously restrained the reins.

Yan Sizhi was busy and reined in his horse: "What's wrong?"

Lin Chengyou looked back at the end of the alley, and if he read it correctly, the man riding the horse was Du Shaotang.

Du Shaotang rode his horse and accompanied the cart. It was estimated that the female family members of the Du family were sitting in the cart. This was normal, but the cart next to Du Shaotang belonged to the uncle.

How could the female family members of the Du family sit in the emperor's uncle's carriage?

Yan Si looked straight and nodded, "It seems to be the carriage of the Duke of Chun'an."

Lin Chengyou shook the reins and continued to drive the horse toward the East Market, but he couldn't help but wonder, the Du family was very expensive, and Du Yuzhi and Uncle Huang were not acquaintances.

By the way, Teng Yuyi said yesterday that Du Tinglan was going to stay at Dayin Temple for one night, and this calf happened to be coming from the direction of Dayin Temple. If Du Shaotang and her mother went to visit Teng Yuyi at Dali Temple today, it would be logical to take Du Tinglan back to the house. .

But where did the Du family's own calf go? broken?

Uncle Huang has always bowed to the corporal, and happened to see it, and it is understandable to take the initiative to let the cart out.

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

What's even more strange is that her aunt's car broke down. Why didn't Teng Yuyi let Duanfu get a car for her aunt? She also felt that she could accept Uncle Huang's kindness?

Suddenly I thought that Teng Yuyi was in a hurry to get Xiaoya bath soup at Ledao Villa that night. Teng Yuyi was stealing from him, but when he found the emperor's uncle, he asked his uncle to ask for it directly.

Did Teng Yuyi have long known that the uncle had a modest temperament, so he even dared to mention the unreasonable request of "begging for bath soup" in person.

After thinking about it at the gate of Dongshi, Lin Chengyou dismounted to find out where the "Jinyun Waterfall" was, and went straight in with Yan Si.

After walking a few steps side by side, I heard Yan Sizhi say: "Speaking of the Prince of Chun'an, last year, a relative of mine from Minshan got drunk and accidentally bumped into His Royal Highness's carriage while walking around. My relatives heard that the person in the car was His Royal Highness, and was so frightened that they lost their souls. How could I know that His Royal Highness only asked my relative to help me to the side of the road, and drove away without saying a word. The alley was extremely remote at that time. , His Royal Highness is still so considerate of others, it can be seen that the morality in private is always good."

After speaking, he laughed: "I heard from a few ladies that day that Chang'an City is infatuated with His Royal Highness the prince, and I don't know which lady will be lucky enough to marry His Royal Highness."

Lin Chengyou pondered for a while, then raised his head and asked, "Why does the little lady usually fall in love with a certain man?"

Yan Sizhi said: "There are many, such as liking a certain Langjun's talent, or liking Langjun's character, or someone who is in the family, or someone who looks at the appearance. If the family and character are not the same Up and down, then what you see is the appearance."

appearance.

Lin Chengyou squinted at Yan Si, and soon looked straight ahead again and said, "Then—according to Yan Si's direct look, who will have a better relationship with Uncle Huang?"
