Chapter 126 10.22
The woman's name is Wang Yunniang, and she is from Babao Township outside Changmen, Suzhou.The child just now was her only son named Baisui.
Wang Yunniang's husband is Liu Shichang, who runs a silk and satin shop in Suzhou.Liu Shichang went to Bianjing to deliver goods some time ago, promising to come back on the night of the Lantern Festival and bring back a lantern for Baisui.But they waited all night but there was no sign of Liu Shichang, and only his mount and lantern came back.
Princess Leping and Bai Yutang looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
It wouldn't be strange if Liu Shichang didn't come home alone, maybe he was delayed by something, or he might be fascinated by the colorful world outside and forget his lovely wife and son at home.But the person didn't go back, only the mount went back, and there was only one possibility, that something happened to the owner of the mount.
Princess Leping frowned, and said: "In the courtroom, what is important is that the evidence is as solid as a mountain. There is only one lantern. I am afraid Master Bao will not believe what you say."
"It's not just these." Yunniang hurriedly brought over the white horse that she was riding before she was a hundred years old, and said, "This is Xianggong's horse, Miss, please take a look."
Princess Leping and others looked over, and there was a bloody handprint on the horse's ass that was supposed to be spotless!
Bai Yutang walked over to take a closer look, and said, "Judging by the size of the palm, it is undoubtedly an adult male. But it may not necessarily be your husband-in-law."
"My husband promised that I would come back, so he will never break his promise." Yun Niang Qi Qiran said, "It's like he promised to give a centenarian lantern, and he never broke his promise."
But Duke Le Ping felt that this matter was a bit tricky.
It is too reluctant to judge that Liu Shichang is dead based on a bloody fingerprint and not returning home.The so-called live to see people, die to see corpses.If you can't see anyone, you might be missing. If you don't have a body, how can you directly determine that he is dead?Judging from Bao Zheng's temperament, he would definitely not accept this kind of case.After all, it will take a lot of manpower and material resources to find the unknown corpse, the place of death and the murderer.If after busying for a long time, Liu Shichang finally came back, wouldn't this be a waste of taxpayers' money!
But this orphan and widow is really pitiful.Princess Leping thought for a long time, but still couldn't bear to break Yunniang's expectation of finding her husband.Let this kind of thing be done by Bao Zheng with a bad face.
When they were on the road again, in order not to suffer, Princess Leping chose to ride a horse and put Yunniang and her son in the carriage, hoping that they would not suffer from motion sickness like herself.
"No more, no more..." Princess Leping jumped off the horse.
Bai Yutang let out a "wow", turned around and walked towards her, with a smug smile on his face.
"You should say you have surrendered."
Princess Leping snorted and said, "It's not the end yet! Why do you say I lost!?"
When Bai Yutang heard this, the smile on his face became even bigger, "You almost reached the finish line, but you said no because you were afraid of losing. What's the difference between this and being a rascal? Why don't you just call you a rascal from now on?" .”
Princess Leping stared at Bai Yutang fiercely with her dark eyes, "You are so stupid! If you have the ability, you can compete with me for lightness. If I win on horseback, what kind of hero am I? I am not good at horseback riding."
"This horse riding is also what you promised~" Bai Yutang said with a smile, "You finish the horse riding competition with me first, and then we will compare lightness kung fu."
"No more, I'm going to die of exhaustion." Princess Leping shook her head, walked to the side of the grass and sat down without a trace.
"It's been a long ride, and you feel tired. Martial arts training is much more tiring than riding a horse. You can bear all the hardships, but can't you bear this little fatigue?" Bai Yutang wondered as he got off the horse and walked to Princess Leping pulled her up, "The ground is so dirty, you still sit on the ground! Are you a woman! The people behind will arrive in a while, just wait."
"You are a big man who likes to be cleaner than me!" Princess Leping curled her lips, patted the leaves and grass clippings on her body, and said, "You don't understand, it's different now. Back then, martial arts was forced. "
When she said this, Bai Yutang also became interested, and asked, "Which master did you learn your martial arts from? How can I tell you, Fifth Master, I have also been walking in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and have fought countless times, big and small. I have seen martial arts moves of many sects, but I have never seen anyone whose moves are as flawless as yours."
Princess Leping rolled her eyes a few times, leaned closer to Bai Yutang and said in a low voice: "We are already close, so I will tell you quietly. Do you know Wuliang Mountain? When I was a child, I accidentally fell off the mountain. Not only did I die Da is not dead, but also found a secret cave. The location of the cave is extremely hidden, and I was very lucky to find it. In the cave, there is a stone table and a stone bench, and there is a sword mound. Push the top The stone slab in front of it reveals a long sword and a book of martial arts. You see, this pure Jun sword was found there."
Bai Yutang took the Chunjun sword and looked at it carefully, his face full of incredulity, and said: "It is simply unheard of that there is such a strange thing in the world."
"That's right, I climbed up the cliff only after practicing the martial arts above."
After finishing speaking, Princess Leping turned her head and snickered.If Bai Yutang had heard of it, it would be a ghost!She was just talking nonsense, she didn't expect Bai Yutang to be so easy to deceive!
While the two were talking, the people behind also arrived.
After getting out of the car, Baisui followed a few guards into the woods to solve his personal problems.Shui Pan and the others also began to unload things from the car, preparing for lunch.
Not long after, a guard came back suddenly and said to Princess Leping: "Master, a wounded man was found in the woods. From his clothes, he should be an ordinary citizen."
Upon hearing this, Yunniang hurriedly said, "Maybe it's my husband-in-law, I'll go and have a look."
The guard shook his head and said, "Master Ling doesn't know that man."
"Bring him back." Princess Leping frowned and said, "We can't just watch that man die."
The guards lead the way.
After a while, two guards came back carrying a person, another was holding Baisui, and the other was carrying a package.
Bai Yutang stepped forward to inspect the injured person, and said, "It looks like he rolled down the hillside, but he just passed out, and there is nothing serious."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man opened his eyes, and murmured, "Upon...wuba...my blackbasin!" He sat up abruptly, looking around in panic.
"Here." The guard carrying the package hurriedly handed it to him.
The man took it, carefully opened the package, and took out a pitch-black basin. He checked it up, down, left, and right, and when he saw that there was no damage, he wiped the sweat from his head and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for saving me, thank you so much," the man said.
"Is this black basin important?" Princess Leping asked curiously.
"Seeing how nervous you are, I thought it was a cornucopia!" Bai Yutang said.
"A friend begged me to send it back to his home." The man sighed, "This utensil is very important to my friend, and I can't live up to his entrustment."
"He is a kind and righteous person." Princess Leping nodded, "I don't know where you are going, but if you drop by, you can come with us."
"I'm afraid I can't. The next place I want to go is Babao Township outside Changmenwai, Suzhou."
"Babao Township?" Baisui tugged on Yunniang's clothes and called, "Mother, this person is going to our house."
"What a coincidence?" The man was very surprised and asked, "Since you are also from Babao Township, do you know a man named Liu Shichang who is in the satin business?"
"He is my father!" Baisui ran to the man's side in surprise, and asked with wide eyes, "Uncle, do you know my father?"
"He's your father!?" The man almost jumped up in shock.
"Liu, Liu Shichang is my husband-in-law!" Yunniang changed her voice in excitement, her body trembling constantly, "Brother, do you know where my husband-in-law is? Please tell me."
"Yes, Uncle. My father promised me that I would come back on the Lantern Festival, but he didn't wait for him all night after being a hundred years old. Is it possible that my father is sick and can't go home..."
"He..." The man looked at Baisui, then at Yunniang, opened and closed his mouth several times, with a trace of bitterness in his eyes, he lowered his head and whispered, "I don't know..."
Yunniang's complexion turned pale suddenly, her figure swayed, she was about to fall, Yaotai beside her quickly supported her.
"I, I'm fine." Yunniang took a few breaths and said calmly, "Bai Sui, can you go to the carriage and rest for a while?"
"Mother, I'm not sleepy." Baisui called.
Yun Niang touched Bai Sui's little head, forced a smile and said, "Good boy, listen to what Mother says."
After Yunniang watched Baisui enter the carriage, she knelt down on the ground with a "plop", bowed her head and cried, "Brother, you must know where my husband is. Please tell me, please." I beg you."
"Don't, don't, please get up, sister-in-law." The man hurriedly stepped forward to help Yunniang, "Actually, I went to your house to tell you Liu Shichang's whereabouts. It's just that the child was there just now, so I can't say..."
Yun Niang slowly raised her head, her face was as pale as paper, her lips trembled violently, and she said, "My husband, has something unexpected happened to him?"
The man sighed, handed the black basin in front of Yunniang, and said, "This is Liu Shichang..."
Yun Niang took several steps back in disbelief, staring fixedly at the black basin for a long time, then said tremblingly: "No, it's impossible, how can my husband be a black basin...impossible..."
Princess Leping and the others also looked at the man in shock, not knowing why.
The man smiled wryly and said, "I know you don't believe it, but I didn't believe it at first either. I just bought this black basin, but a ghost came out of it in the middle of the night. The ghost said he was Liu Shichang, when he was riding home, he bumped into a man named Zhao Da. He sent Zhao Da home with good intentions, but he was murdered by Zhao Da and his wife. The Zhao Da and his wife burned him to ashes , and put the ashes into the pottery clay and burn them into a black basin."
After hearing this, everyone was shocked on the spot.Bai Yutang murmured: "This is the second strange thing I've heard today... If it's true, it's too unconscionable!"
"What you said is true?" Although Princess Leping died once, it is hard to believe that there are ghosts in this world.
"Everything I said is true." The man nodded sharply, "My name is Wang Yong, and my family sells lanterns. When Liu Shichang was alive, he bought a lantern from me and said it was for the young master of the family. Now it is At noon, when the yang energy is at its peak, Liu Shichang's ghost can't come out. At night, you will all believe what I say."
Yunniang hugged the black basin tightly in her arms, howled and cried loudly, calling for Mr.
"Father—" Baisui also cried and ran down from the carriage.
"Hundred years old..." Yunniang looked at him with tears in her eyes.
"I heard it all. Dad was turned into a black basin by bad guys." Baisui pursed his lips tightly, tears falling down in strings.
"Hundred years old..." The two hugged each other and wept bitterly.Those who hear it are sad, and those who hear it cry.
The two cried for a long time, and Bai Sui wiped away his tears and said, "Mother, didn't you say Master Bao is very powerful? Let's find him quickly and let him avenge father!"
"You're right." Yunniang cried, "We will never let your father die unjustly, we must seek justice for your father."
"If you want to go to Master Bao, then forget it." Wang Yong said suddenly, "Liu Shichang asked me to take him to Kaifeng Mansion to seek justice from the beginning. But Kaifeng Mansion is guarded by door gods, so Liu Shichang can't speak at all. Bao The adults didn't believe what I said, and they beat me twenty times. Liu Shichang saw that there was no hope of redress, so he begged me to take him home."
"What, what should I do?" Yunniang became anxious when she heard this, "If Mr. Bao is not willing to avenge my husband's grievance, who else can help us?"
"Sister Yunniang, don't worry. Our master can help you." Yaotai's eyes were red and swollen, and his face was full of anger, "Is that right, master?"
Princess Leping nodded under Yunniang's expectant gaze.
