Chapter 69 The Truth Comes Out

After Xue vomited out the green mucus, she fell into a deep sleep.The black-colored male ghost would say a word in a daze, "It's on fire..., it's on fire, it's burning people to death."

Chen Mengsheng saw the green spirit on the male ghost's head, and knew that he was a ghost who resented the dead. The ghost's remnant soul was not complete, and it was difficult to find out anything at once, so he took the soul-absorbing bottle to collect the male ghost's soul.When he opened the door, he saw Liu Datong pacing anxiously and looking at Chen Mengsheng expectantly.

"Your mother is fine, she is asleep now." Seeing that Liu Datong was full of suspicion, Chen Mengsheng turned around and told Liu Datong to look at it by himself.Liu Datong entered the room and saw that Xue's pillow was covered with green slime, so he took out a new pillow from the cabinet and replaced it, and brought hot water to wipe the corners of his mother's mouth.Mrs. Xue has been exhausted from being haunted by the dark black ghost these days, and she doesn't feel...

After Liu Datong finished his work, Chen Mengsheng said: "You are a filial son, and you will be rewarded with kindness in the future."

Seeing that Mrs. Xue had stopped uttering the nonsense, Liu Datong felt relieved.Standing up and bowing in front of Chen Mengsheng, he said, "Dare to ask your name?"

"Chen Mengsheng, your mother was bewitched by an evil spirit, and she is fine now." Ever since Chen Mengsheng picked up the tooth just now, he has been thinking that the tooth was scorched black, it should belong to that man, and it is impossible to put it away even through alchemy. A tooth.What if Yun Qingzi used the technique of disgusting victory to put himself in prison?It's also unlikely, the only explanation for this is that the pill was transferred...

Chen Mengsheng asked: "Liu Shanren, did the Yishou Pill of yours give you by Taoist Master Yun Qingzi himself, or did you borrow it from someone else?"

Liu Datong said: "At three o'clock in the afternoon on the ninth day of September every year, it is the day when Yun Qingzi of the Danding Sect gives Yishou Dan. On that day, I got up at five o'clock to take a bath and fast. I had to get a car to send it to the Danding Sect, and it was not yet there. At noon, I went to Yun Qingzi to get the pills. The thirty Yishou pills were still in the temple and hadn’t started giving away yet. Yun Qingzi asked me to pick one up, so I took one and put it in a brocade box Already."

Chen Mengsheng frowned in confusion and said, "Since you took it yourself, it is impossible for Yun Qingzi to know which one you will take. It is unreasonable for you to sue Yun Qingzi for wanting to harm your mother, after all, [-] Longevity Pills Nothing happened until your mother obeyed."

When Chen Mengsheng said this, Liu Datong nodded in agreement, but at the birthday banquet that day, it was true that his mother had taken the elixir before he fell ill.He said: "Master Chen, I only know that my mother's body has always been strong, but it was because of taking Yishoudan that she became like this. How can this be explained?"

"Is the brocade box you used to hold the pill still there?"

"Yes, I bought it at the Xinglong Silk and Satin Shop in Lin'an City. I bought it because it was exquisitely crafted to hold the Yishou Pill. Why did Master ask this question?"

"Go get it, let me see the brocade box." Liu Datong hurried out of the room, and after a while, he handed the brocade box to Chen Mengsheng.

The brocade box is about an inch square, and is inlaid with gold lace all over. The cover is embroidered with a picture of pine and crane prolonging life.Opening the brocade box, there is a picture of the blue sea and the bright moon, carved out of jade, and the bright moon in the middle of the jasper is white jade the size of a longan.On the top of the white jade is a hole half a finger deep, which must have belonged to Sheng Na Yishou Pill.

Chen Mengsheng looked at the brocade box inside and out, and sniffed with his nose that besides the smell of pills, there was another smell in the box, which was the smell of corpses that Chen Mengsheng was very familiar with...

"Liu Datong, has this brocade box of yours been tampered with since it contained the Yishou Dan?"

Liu Datong heard something wrong from Chen Mengsheng's tone, thought for a while and said: "This brocade box has been kept in my study room, except for the family members who can enter it, no one else can enter it? Master, you mean that someone secretly manipulated it to harm it. My mother?"

Chen Mengsheng nodded and said: "I have carefully inspected this brocade box just now, and there is another smell besides the smell of pills. Someone must have touched this brocade box. For what purpose, I have no idea." And I know."

Liu Datong looked at his sleeping mother, his face gradually turned rosy.She cupped her hands and said to Chen Mengsheng: "Master, please follow me to the study." The two of them left the house, the sky was already turning pale, it must be almost five o'clock, and it was heard from a distance that a cock crowed and began to wake up for the morning...

Walking through the corridor and across the courtyard, we came to Liu Datong's study in the inner room, and the maids and servants were already busy.There were more than a dozen people making tea, cooking porridge, sweeping the courtyard and mopping the house. Liu Datong stopped a servant girl in the study and said, "Xiao Cui, go and call me all grandma, grandma and young master to the study." The year-old maid saw the sullen look on the master's face, she put down her work and trotted up to the second floor of the inner room.

Chen Mengsheng followed Liu Datong into the study, and Liu Datong said: "What do you want me to do, master, to save my mother? There is no one here, master, please give me orders."

Chen Mengsheng laughed dumbly and said, "Boss Liu thought I, Chen Mengsheng, came to negotiate the price with you?" Liu Datong was a little embarrassed by Chen Mengsheng's laugh, but how can there be good things happen in the past?

"Master Mo Xiao, please tell me clearly?"

"What I want you to do is to go with me to the county government office in Pingyang Prefecture. Today, Yun Qingzi will be escorted to Lin'an. Only you can save him. Now the Danding faction has been closed and sent to the prison. Yun Qingzi had a narrow escape from going to Dali Temple."

"Dali Temple is justified or unreasonable. It is the rule to kill Wei first. If my mother is fine, I will go with Master to the county government to excuse Yun Qingzi." While talking, he heard the sound of wearing a ring from outside the room, and the four The woman entered the study with the girl and the boy.

"Master Chen, here are my wives, concubines and children, and all the family members are here."

Chen Mengsheng looked at these women in their 30s and [-]s and their three children.The youngest child is still in the arms of a woman, but it looks like three or four years old. The oldest is a boy who is about fourteen or five years old, and there is a six or seven-year-old girl in the middle.

Liu Datong slapped the brocade box in his hand on the desk, and said sharply, "Who moved this box?"

It is common for a rich family to have three wives and four concubines, especially in the Southern Song Dynasty, because of the sudden increase in the number of male deaths and injuries during successive years of war.The phenomenon of men superior to women is even more serious. If a rich family does not have a few concubines, you are ashamed to go out and say hello to people.But if there is one point, only the original spouse can be carried in through the gate with three matches, six ceremonies, and a red sedan chair, and the other concubines can only be carried in through the side door.Even after the concubine's consummation, after serving the master at night, before dawn, she will get up and drown the night for her original wife.Therefore, it is common for concubines to compete for favor and power, and the different methods make people feel chilled...

Seeing that the four women were all silent, Chen Mengsheng thought to himself, could it be that there are really people behind the scenes?

Liu Datong said angrily: "Are you all dumb? My mother has always treated you well, but you want to murder her old man. What's the use of keeping you so evil?"

Seeing that Liu Datong was angry, the four women were all shocked.The [-]-year-old woman standing at the head said: "Master, calm down, our sisters are all kind people, how could they do such an outrageous thing. The elixir in the brocade box is what the master asked for his mother, how dare we touch it?" ?” As soon as the words came out, the other three women nodded their heads.

"Hmph, it wasn't you who did it, so how can others enter my study." Liu Datong threw the brocade box on the table towards several women on the floor, and with a crisp sound, the jade gall inside the brocade box broke into eight petals. The hall was silent.The wives looked at each other tearfully, and no one dared to speak...

"Brother, brother, the clay balls in that beautiful box are gone?" The six or seven-year-old girl didn't know what happened, so she said such a sentence in a low voice, but it was like thunder in the hall...

This little girl was born to Liu Datong and his fourth concubine. Her surname is Liu Dan and her name is a Chinese character.Children from rich families will ask someone to give them names after they are born. Children from poor families will be better off if someone in the family can read and write.

Liu Datong was surprised and asked: "Girl, what are the mud balls?" He stepped forward a few steps and walked in front of his daughter Liu Han with his eyes wide open.The little girl was frightened and hid behind a young woman, and the young woman was also frightened, her face paled and she said timidly: "Master, Han'er is still young, so don't startle her."

Liu Datong raised his hand and scolded: "Did you know about this?"

The young woman closed her eyes and hugged the child tightly, saying: "Yu'er doesn't know." She didn't feel the slap fell for a long time before she dared to open her eyes, only to see the stranger who had been silent all this time holding Liu Datong's slap.

Chen Mengsheng said: "Boss Liu, let me ask." Seeing what Chen Mengsheng said, Liu Datong stopped talking and stepped aside.

"Little sister, can you tell me where the mud balls come from?"

Liu Han hid behind his mother and cried, "Niwanzi was made by Brother Tianbao."

"What?" Everyone was shocked by Liu Han's words, and all looked at the fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy...

That boy was born to Liu Datong and his original wife, Wang Shi, and Liu Datong loved him the most because of his cleverness.When Mrs. Wang heard that her son had caused a catastrophe, she grabbed the boy by the ear and shouted, "Say, what's going on?"

Liu Tianbao knew that he was in trouble for a long time, and now he couldn't escape, so he said: "I... I..., I was playing with my sister in the study that day, and my sister saw a beautiful box in the cabinet. We put it in the box. I took out my mud balls to play with, but somehow they fell into the pool in the yard, and my sister and I searched for a long time in the pool but couldn’t find them.”

"You bastard, if you lost it, then tell me, you almost killed your grandma." Liu Datong scolded with a stampede.

The half-grown boy burst into tears when he was scolded by Liu Datong, and said: "I don't know what kind of meatball it is, I'm afraid of being scolded by my father. The meatball is red in color, and my sister and I searched many places to find it in the original place. I found some red mud in front of the Guandi Temple, squeezed it into balls and put it back there."

Chen Mengsheng understood that Taoist alchemy needs to add cinnabar, and the elixir made from red boron is either red or black.Master Chi Jingzi also taught me, but I didn't study hard, and now I think about it, I feel very ashamed...

Liu Datong didn't expect that in the end, it was his son who caused a catastrophe. He bowed to Chen Mengsheng in embarrassment: "It's Liu who can't teach his son well, and he's tired of Yun Qingzi. Master, let's go to the county government to rescue Yun Qingzi." , I want to plead guilty to him..."
