Records of the Lost Cases of Helaitang in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 27
When he was in Gaolong Village, the young patriarch Zhuge Bojun asked Mr. Wei for a few transfer places at Lanxi Academy. As soon as Mr. Wei came back, he mentioned it to the mountain chief. The mountain chief had a strong sense of mission in educating people. He heard that there was a hidden Shishan Village is going to be transformed into a king of Zhanmu. I am simply overjoyed.

Mr. Wei sent someone to return the message to Zhuge Bojun. A few days later, a convoy from Gaolong Village sent ten children of various sizes to Lanxi Academy to study.

Zhuge Xian, the sixth member of the group, was not one of the ten students. He was considered the parent who sent them for the exam.

When the skinny little Zhuge Xian appeared in Mr. Wei's apartment in Tongren Pagoda Courtyard, Wang Cai was pleasantly surprised, and Wang Heng was also very happy. The gathering of young friends created a great bond.

Before his buttocks were still hot from sitting, Zhuge Xian began to wink and wink. He was trying to save others by himself. Knowing that his friend was eager to go out for fun, he took the two of them to play near the most lively Tianhou Palace in the county.

With the financial resources Wang Cai and Wang Heng put together, they could only afford Zhuge Xian to set traps in the east market, stick noses in the west market, and eat Liu Granny's shortbread in the vegetable market. But these few things made Zhuge Xian extremely happy, and he felt that for the first time in his life, A bed of roses.

There is also a stage in Thean Hou Temple. I have to sing several big plays every month. I have to pay to have a seat. If I don’t have money, I just stand in the corner and watch the play. But these days are unseasonable and there is no play to watch, so I made an appointment next time. Come again.

The motorcade from Gaolong Village returned to the village the next day. It was the day when the academy was closed for rest, so Mr. Wei and Wang Heng Xiaocai sent Zhuge Xian out of the city together.

After leaving the Ximen Tower, a few people chatted, and before they knew it, they could see the clear blue water of Lanjiang River.

After walking onto the Sandong Bridge, Zhuge Xian took a step forward, bowed his hands to everyone, and said, "Don't send me off, everyone. I can come to the city to find you at any time. We are only a few dozen miles away."

Zhuge Xian turned around and smiled at Mr. Wei: "Sir, he stopped talking several times. He must have something to say, and I must know everything I can say."

Mr. Wei's face changed several times, and his eyes showed hesitation. After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly shook his head and asked with a kind face: "Miss Zhang from Cuiping Nunnery, do you know what her name is?"

Zhuge Xian, who has always been young and mature, smiled meaningfully and said: "Sir, he hesitated again and again. It turns out that you are asking this. Of course I know that her name is Zhang Yimei."

"Zhang Yimei." Mr. Wei's thoughts were agitated. Could it be her?

Due to some mysterious and unpredictable chance, he ended up living here. In his original time and space history, the female sea merchant who traveled all over the world was named Zhang Yimei. For a moment, he actually felt a little confused.

Wang Cai stretched out his arms, patted Zhuge Xian hard on the shoulder, and smiled at each other.

The carriage from Gaolong Village was waiting on the official road under Sandong Bridge. Zhuge Xian waved his hand and boarded the carriage, galloped westward, turned into a black dot in the blink of an eye, and disappeared from everyone's eyes.

Seeing that Mr. Wei was in a daze, Wang Cai smiled at the old Zhangjia store under the Sandong Bridge and said, "Sir, you see that you are here, why don't we go in and have a meal."

Mr. Wei always adhered to the idea of ​​having a big meal, so he followed the good advice, and the three of them walked into the Zhang family's old shop.

The store clerk sang a fat song: "You gentlemen, please take a seat on the second floor. This month, the store invites Boss Lu Quanhailu to speak in Pinghua "Silver Foil Yuan Bao" in Shi Xin Pinghua."

Wang Heng was already feeling sleepy, but when he heard something excited, Mr. Wei hurriedly went upstairs, followed closely by Wang Cai. He went up to the second floor and took up an empty seat in the middle and sat down. He casually ordered four vegetables, two plates of fruits, and some pickled vegetables. A nice pot of tea.

A screen was placed in the middle of the hall, and a meeting table was placed in front of the screen, with bright red brocade covering the table top.

"Pa!" Lu Quanhai slapped the gavel, and said in a flirtatious manner:
"Look, it's said that Ye Shangshu Ye Hongzu resigned from his official post and returned to his hometown. When he got home, he couldn't afford to fall ill. When the original god collapsed, suddenly a woman in black robe fluttered through the hall and entered the room, and said to him sadly, on a full moon night Here it is, your thank you gift to the immortal.

Ye Shangshu kicked his legs suddenly and woke up, but it turned out that he had a dream and he did not dare to neglect it. He immediately prepared three sacrifices and six rituals, and took advantage of the bright moonlight on a full moon night to drag his sick body up Cuiping Mountain.

In front of the gods in the Daxian Temple, Ye Shangshu prayed in a low voice: Daxian, I am old and ill. For the sake of my many years of worship, the Daxian will pay off all my debts.

The gods were furious, and Jie Jie roared: Don't even think about it!You will never be able to repay the debt you borrowed from Cuiping Mountain in your lifetime. Your descendants will have to pay it back. "

Suddenly, the god's voice turned into a faint voice again, as if he was carefully looking at Ye Hongzu: If others still refuse, you, a ungrateful person, will never be able to pay you back.The voice was shrill and horrifying to hear.

Ye Shangshu was frightened, so he returned to his old house in Changle Village overnight, stayed on the bed for several months, and died.

The family members were in a mess as they prepared for the funeral. Only after the first seven days did the servant girl discover that the silver foil ingot on the confession had disappeared at some point.

The servant woman went to report to the eldest son of Ye Shangshu. The uncle of the Ye family believed in Yangming Xinxue and worshiped silver foil ingots at home. He thought it was a strange power and disturbed the gods, so he didn't care at the moment.

Unexpectedly, the wind direction gradually changed.

The uncle of the Ye family was originally Yao Huan Yu'er among the younger generation of scholarly officials in the imperial court. Ding You later went to the Sixth Ministry to wait for a vacancy. He tried many ways to open up the joints, but he could not make up for it no matter what.

Later I heard that Mr. Xu Ge, the chief minister of the cabinet, had parted ways with the Yangming School since he overthrew Mr. Yan Ge, and deeply hated the officials of the Yangming School.

The eldest son of the Ye family wanted to revive his family, so he had to either go to Yunnan and Guizhou to become a county magistrate. Since he did not want to go to Yunnan and Guizhou to be a county magistrate, he had to return to his hometown to become a country squire.

After the glory and dreams faded, worrying about Wei Que became a kind of torment. If you want to obtain inner satisfaction, the only way out seems to be extravagance and lust.

Ye Shangshu's eunuchs are rich, and his family has plenty of money. There are famous gardening experts from Suzhou and Hangzhou who come to Changle Village to join the Ye family. They build the West Garden today and climb the Yunfeng Peak tomorrow.

After building such a beautiful garden, how could we not raise a group of little actors to enjoy the flowers, the moon, and the music of the Qing Dynasty?

After several years of hard work, they enjoyed all the happiness in the world, but everyone secretly stopped taking action.

Fortunately, I have a rich collection at home, so it wouldn't be a big deal to give away one or two pieces.

Mr. Ye's knowledge was not bad, and even though the antique calligraphy and painting could not be sold at a high price, he did not suffer a big loss.

Ye Shijiu, the grandson of Ye's parents, can be said to be better than his father.

He is a man with a lot of money and a certain longevity. He coaxed the treasure away from others without even realizing it.

Like a man possessed, the father and son worked together to go bankrupt.

Less than three to five years later, the family's financial situation suddenly declined. The uncle of the Ye family began to dream about women in black robes demanding debts. He just thought he was suspicious of someone behind the scenes and refused to believe it.

Over and over again, the woman in the black robe in the dream lost her patience and finally took his life to repay the debt.

At that time, the Ye family had already dismissed some of their child servants. When the steward discovered that the Ye family's uncle was breathing out a lot and not breathing in much, he called Ye Nineteen to the bedside. The Ye family's uncle had a crooked nose and slanted eyes and slurred speech, and he vaguely said: He finished the sentence "Repaying debts, woman in black robe, grandfather is ungrateful."

Ye Jiu couldn't understand these words that had no preface and follow-up, and he didn't take them to heart.

After the death of the uncle of the Ye family, Ye Shijiu became more and more dissolute, and gradually lost all his property. Even Yunfeng was given to the Zhu family, a wealthy family in the county.

On this day, Ye Shijiu had no money in his hands, and all his friends were gone. He had to sit and think, when he suddenly saw a woman in black robe floating into the main room.

If you want to know what happened next, please listen to the explanation in the next chapter. Dear readers, please come early tomorrow.
