"This is the scabby-headed monk?" Shuijing glanced at the portrait on the painting,
His face was full of disgust. "He's really ugly. Is he the one who wanted Minister Lin to give the Lin family's girl to him? "
"Yes." Wen Dongyan nodded and said,
"However, Miss Lin was only three years old at that time, and she was the only pearl in the palm of Brother Ruhai and his wife. How could she be willing? That scabby-headed monk said, 'Since I can't bear to part with her,
I'm afraid that she won't be able to recover from her illness for the rest of her life! If she wants to recover, she won't be able to hear the sound of crying from now on. Other than her parents, she won't see any relatives. Only then can she live a peaceful life. ' Brother Ru Hai only took these words as nonsense, he only gave him some silver, and did not pay any attention to it. That scabby-headed monk was very unyielding,
He didn't ask for silver,
He only sighed three times at Brother Ruhai and floated away. "
Shuijing pondered for a moment and asked, "The one who wanted the Zhen family's girl was also this scabby-headed monk?"
"It should be the same person. It seems that Miss Zhen was also three years old at that time. "
Shuijing was puzzled.
Why did a monk want two little girls who were born in a rich nest to follow him,
To be a monk or a nun? He had never heard of a monk and a nun hanging out together all day. Even if the two little girls had to become nuns,
They should still go to the nunnery to cultivate,
Since ancient times, there were many young ladies from official families who went to the nunnery to cultivate,
This had never had anything to do with monks. Wasn't this scabby-headed monk a bit like a dog trying to catch a mouse?
"If it wasn't for that incident back then,
I would have thought that this scabby-headed monk was using the name of saving people,
He really did something like a human trafficker. "
"Actually, when I first heard of the scabby-headed monk and the crippled Daoist priest, I didn't believe it."
This subordinate doesn't believe it. "Wen Dongyan fanned himself with his goose feather fan and frowned.
"The Second Empress and the Third Prince had long wanted to fight for the throne. They also had the support of the Retired Emperor. After they failed to fight for the throne, they saw that they were about to be killed by Master. They said that it was all because the monk with the scabby head and the crippled Taoist priest who had bewitched them. This subordinate only took it as an excuse. Afterwards, Master disregarded everything and wanted to find these two people. This subordinate only thought that Master was confused by anger. Now, it seems that I was wrong. "
"They are indeed evading the responsibility." Shuijing snorted coldly. "It's not like they've been wanting to fight for the throne for a long time. If it wasn't for the fact that Da Lan felt that although he could barely cope with them, he wouldn't be able to take care of Little Jiu, he wouldn't have written a letter to request Ye Zichen to bring Little Jiu out of the palace to be raised. As for that scabby-headed monk and the crippled Taoist priest … in the first half of the year, their temperaments suddenly changed drastically. Not only did they have a bad temper and squander money, but they also wantonly lured beauties and kept male companions … "
Shui Lan had grown up watching the former Empress being neglected by the Retired Emperor. He knew that the former Empress had suffered a lot at the hands of the favored concubines in the Imperial Harem, so he was very cautious about the choice of the Crown Prince Consort during the wedding. Because he had grown up with Shui Lan, he also knew a lot about Yin Si. When Emperor Gaozu was still alive, he had often complained to Emperor Gaozu about this. Afterwards, after the Emperor Emeritus ascended the throne, although he had no one to complain to, he still used his status as an elder to intervene in Shui Lan's marriage, breaking the Emperor Emeritus's plot to bestow the daughter of a fifth-rank minor official to Shui Lan. Later on, Shui Lan had a good relationship with the Crown Prince Consort. He didn't even have a secondary consort, so how could his temperament suddenly change?
Thinking of this, Shuijing narrowed his eyes slightly. "That Zhen Shiyin also suddenly left with the crippled Taoist priest without any warning. Do you think they were bewitched by something? "
"… Witchcraft?"
Wen Dongyan was aghast. Witchcraft had been recorded as early as the Qin and Han Dynasties. It was a kind of spell that used a mysterious power to control and influence people and things. The law had long stipulated that anyone who practiced witchcraft would be sentenced to capital punishment and their family members would be exiled three thousand li.
"We've been secretly investigating the people for so many years, so it's not like we haven't seen these things before. However, those people only used methods to harm people and make them sick. They didn't bewitch people's hearts. Perhaps this scabby-headed monk and the crippled Taoist priest's cultivation is deeper than those people's. What this prince doesn't understand is what benefits they have from getting involved in the fight for the throne. Back then, when Second Empress and Old Third died, I didn't see them come to save them. In these past few years, I also didn't see them interact with the other princes. "
"Miss Zhen and Miss Lin don't seem to have much to do with the fight for the throne. These two people are strange and act rather strangely. This subordinate is truly at his wit's end this time, "Wen Dongyan said with a sigh.
"This prince doesn't believe in this evil." Shuijing knocked on the table and said, "Since they said that the Lin family's daughter's illness won't be cured for the rest of her life, then this prince will make her healthier than normal people. Only by not seeing relatives can she live a peaceful life … "He seemed to have thought of something and slammed the table," The child born with a jade in his mouth from Rongguo Province! He's called Baoyu, right? How could a normal child be born with a jade in his mouth? I heard there were words on it? "
"Psychic Baoyu, don't lose, don't forget, immortal life lasts forever. First, get rid of evil spirits, second, treat grievances, and third, know fortune and misfortune," Wen Dongyan replied. "When this subordinate first heard about it, he thought that Rongguo Province was deliberately bragging. After all, how old was the child when he was born? How could such a small person hold a jade in his mouth? However, if it's related to the scabby-headed monk and the crippled Taoist priest, it's not impossible. It's nothing more than a smokescreen. As for why they did this, it's still a mystery. "
"Then is Jia Baoyu really blessed?"
"This … this subordinate doesn't know the specifics. En Hou should be very clear. "
"Call him over in a moment. First, send someone to monitor Jia Baoyu and see if we can get any clues from him. "
"Yes."
"Also, what's the matter with the Xue family's daughter?" Shuijing suddenly changed the topic and said, "Minister Lin wants to send someone to investigate whether the Xue Wang Clan has a daughter?"
Wen Dongyan muttered to himself, "It should be related to the dream. After Brother Ruhai woke up from the nightmare, he called Lin Bo to investigate. He told this subordinate that he dreamed that Miss Lin met with misfortune. "
Shuijing thought carefully and said, "Also send someone to investigate the Xue family's daughter. See if she has any relationship with the scabby-headed monk and the crippled Taoist priest. There are too many mysteries right now. We can't let go of any clues. Also, this … "He pointed to the portrait on the table," Issue an arrest warrant. Say that this person is a human trafficker who has committed a heinous crime. Tell the yamen to be on high alert. When capturing this person, regardless of whether he's alive or dead. If someone who isn't a member of the yamen catches him, regardless of whether he's alive or dead, he'll be rewarded. "
Although he was also very curious about the answers to these mysteries, he wanted them dead even more to appease Shui Lan's spirit in heaven. If they were captured alive, they would inevitably have a chance to escape. He definitely wouldn't leave them with the slightest chance of survival.
Jia Xie spoke very quickly, especially when she was describing Lady Wang. She didn't even take a breath in between. In fact, over the years, Jia Xie had to inwardly greet Lady Wang's ancestors almost every day. She didn't greet Jia Zheng because they were of the same ancestor. However, she could only inwardly greet them and couldn't say it out loud. It really made her feel very sullen. Now that she finally had a chance to vent, Jia Xie felt much more comfortable in her heart.
However, the Jia Lian was confused again.
Although he had long known that his father didn't like Second Uncle and Second Aunt, he always thought that it was because they lived in Glory Hall. However, it was Old Madam's idea for Second Uncle and Second Aunt to live in Glory Hall. Even if his father was angry, he couldn't resent Old Madam. He could only vent his anger on Second Uncle and Second Aunt. However, judging from his father's words just now, it didn't seem to be the case. Compared to Second Uncle Jia Zheng, his father seemed to hate Lady Wang more.
The Jia Lian recalled Lady Wang's actions over the years. Although Lady Wang wasn't as kind as outsiders thought, she wasn't as bad as his father said. Could there be some misunderstanding? Perhaps someone wanted to sow discord between the first and second branches?
The Jia Lian's intuition told him that there was a conspiracy, a big conspiracy, so his face became serious and he asked seriously, "Master, did someone say something nonsense in front of you? Please tell me the truth. "
At this time, Jia Xie was still immersed in the pleasure of mocking Lady Wang. When the Jia Lian asked this question, he didn't react for a moment. "Tell you the truth? And who said something nonsense in front of me? What nonsense did they say? "
The Jia Lian saw that his eyes didn't flicker and didn't seem to be guilty. He was a little confused and asked, "Master, why did you say those things? Second Aunt … Isn't she good? She takes good care of our son. "
The Jia Xie finally understood what it meant to be a Jia Lian. His silly son's heart was still with the second branch!
Jia Xie felt that he should give the Jia Lian a heavy blow. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future for a father to be kind and a son to be filial. It was the right thing to lead his son to the right path first. After all, it was easy to fall into the gutter if he took too many shortcuts.
Thinking of this, he clicked his tongue twice, shook his head, and said disappointedly, "Your mother and I are very smart. How could we give birth to such a silly son like you? You usually look very smart, but when you meet those scheming people, you help them count the money even when you're being sold. "
The Jia Lian looked unconvinced and whispered, "How is my son silly?"
The Jia Xie said, "Didn't you come to Yangzhou to wait for your uncle's death, and then take all the Lin family's property back to the capital? If you can take all the money into your own private pocket, father won't say anything about you. But you only took a small portion of the money, and the rest was taken by others. You've been running around and racking your brains to do so many things, but in the end, you're only working for others. If you're not stupid, then what are you? "
"Master, what nonsense are you talking about!" The Jia Xie was too straightforward, and the Jia Lian's face was very embarrassed. He defended himself, "There's something you might not know. Uncle has already discussed it with the old lady. Sister Lin will marry Baoyu in the future. Uncle also said that everything in the Lin family will be left to Sister Lin as her dowry. Your son is just bringing Sister Lin's dowry back to our fu in advance. "
"According to what you said, all the dowry will be returned to the Lin girl in the future?"
The Jia Lian opened his mouth. He wanted to resolutely say "yes", but when he saw the mocking smile on the Jia Xie's face, he swallowed his words. The Lin family's money was to make up for the deficit in Rongguo Province. When Sister Lin grew up, who knew how much money would be left! His father was also a hooligan. If he said too much now, he would have a hard time in the future. Therefore, he compromised and vaguely said, "In the future, Sister Lin will be a citizen of Rongguo Province." The hidden meaning was that her dowry would still be in Rongguo Province, and it didn't matter if it was given or not.
"Do you think your good Second Aunt will let the Lin girl marry into the family? Don't forget, the first day the Lin girl went to Rongguo Province, she showed off her power. At that time, the Lin girl was only six years old. After that, your wife must have told you about her attitude towards the Lin girl. "
The Jia Lian always thought that Jia Xie didn't care about anything except women's antiques. He didn't expect him to notice this. He was surprised and disagreed, "Everything will be left to the old lady! As long as the old lady agrees, Second Aunt will have to accept it even if she doesn't want to. "
"The Wang Clan isn't easily reconciled. Why don't I tell you what she will do? "Jia Xie smiled mockingly and said," Isn't it easy to prevent the Lin girl from marrying Baoyu? As long as he is gone, the marriage naturally won't happen. "
"Master, be careful with your words!" The Jia Lian said in surprise, "Master, you are getting more and more ridiculous. If these words are spread, our Rongguo Province will be finished!"
