Ming Huashang had a nightmare again. In the dream, Zhaocai was holding a pack of pine nuts and complained that he was too old. In a blink of an eye, Zhaocai was lying in a pool of blood, with a big hole in his abdomen, blood was blurred and bloody. Ming Huashang wanted to get Zhaocai, but when she touched her body, Zhaocai turned into a fierce ghost and said sinisterly: “It’s all your fault that you killed me. Why isn’t you?”
Yes? Ah, why isn’t she the one who died?
Ming Huashang seemed to be pinched to her throat, breathing heavily but still couldn’t breathe. She was holding something in vain in a state of suffocation. Suddenly, one hand held her hard and hugged her tightly: “Shangshang, don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
The evil ghost surrounded her ears and smiled strangely. Ming Huashang wanted to run away, but her body couldn’t move at all. Those warm hands kept holding her, patting her back gently, and whispering in her ear: “I’m here.”
I’m here.
This sentence is like an oracle that drives away evil spirits. The entangled shadows in the dream dissipated little by little. Ming Huashang’s body gradually relaxed, tilted his head, and finally he could fall asleep peacefully.
Ming Huazhang waited until her breathing became even, so he carefully put her back on the bed. Unexpectedly, Ming Huashang was like drowning. When she got to the bed, she breathed rapidly and was unstable. Ming Huazhang could only hold her hand tightly, and kept guarding her: “Don’t be afraid, I’m here, I won’t leave.”
Old Lady Ming frowned when she saw this scene: “Is she? Isn’t she? Is there anything dirty? Why don’t you invite a monk to exorcise evil spirits?”
Duke Zhen was a little hesitant when he heard this. Ming Huashang grew up so old that he had no suffering. He had never eaten anything, and even had a needle pierced his fingertips. He was so angry that he refused to continue to learn from Nu Hong. Suddenly, he saw the death of the people around him, and was probably scared. The Duke of Zhenguo couldn’t help asking: “Which monk is the most effective way to expel evil spirits?”
“No.” Ming Huazhang carefully wiped away the sweat from Ming Huazhang’s forehead, and said without looking back, “She is very brave. She is not afraid at all when she sees the body. How could she be scared, let alone, even if there are really ghosts in the world, it is also a transformation from Zhaocai. Zhaocai is the most close to Shangshang, and staying by her side must be to protect her. What evil can she drive away?”
Old Lady Ming frowned: “No? If you get evil, how could she become like this?”
Ming Huazhang looked at her frowning brows in her sleep, clenched her hand, and said, “She is just guilty. She thinks that she killed Zhaocai. Shangshang, Zhaocai will not hurt you, nor will she blame you. You have to get up early so that Zhaocai won’t worry.”
Seeing Ming Huazhang and Ming Huashang’s intimate movements, the old lady frowned and said, “If she had to hold someone else’s hand to fall asleep, then let the maid guard it. Erlang also has other things to do, and he can’t always be spent here.”
“It’s okay.” Ming Huazhang whispered, “Nothing is more important than her, I’m willing to accompany her.”
The anger on the old lady Ming’s face became even heavier, and she turned around.He looked at Duke Zhenguo, his eyes very clear.
Do you want to cause a scandal and make everyone know?
Duke Zhenguo came last night, so he could clearly feel that after Ming Huazhang came back, Ming Huashang’s condition was much more stable, no longer as nightmares as last night. He looked at Ming Huazhang and Ming Huashang’s handshake, and he couldn’t bear it after all, and said, “Shangshang had a nightmare all night and had a rare sleep. Let her rest for a while. Mom, you are tired too, I’ll take you back.”
Old Lady Ming was so angry that she smoked from her orifices when she heard the Duke Zhenguo’s words. She shook her sleeves hard and said angrily: “Okay, I’m old and I’m useless. You can just let it go. Let’s see what you want to harm the Ming family.”
After saying that, Mrs. Ming rushed out angrily. The Duke of Zhenguo looked at Ming Huazhang apologetically and chased him out to see the old lady.
In the room, the maids seemed to feel unusual, put down their things and retreated. There were only two of them left in the inner room. Ming Huazhang looked at Ming Huashang who was close to her and gently wiped off the sweat beads from her nose. His voice was inaudible: “Why do you have to feel guilty? It is clearly me who keeps causing disasters to the people around you.”
Ming Huazhang spent the whole day with Ming Huashang, feeding medicine and water with his own hands, and in a complete sense. The sun gradually tilted westward, and Ming Huazhang took care of Ming Huashang’s gap, and couldn’t help but stare at the spots on the ground and distracted.
Today he couldn’t get out of his body and couldn’t go to Jingzhao Mansion. The ten-day deadline was coming soon. I wonder what was going on in the investigation.
When he said that Cao Cao had arrived, his thoughts had just come to report, saying that the prince’s wife Xie Langjun, Yulin Military Academy Captain Ren Yao, and Jiangling, the Jiangling, the Marquis of Jiang’an, came to visit the second wife.
Ming Huazhang was a little surprised. It was not uncommon for these three people to visit Ming Huazhang. They didn’t come to Ming Huazhang to beat them. But yes, it’s so early. It’s not yet time for the sanya. It should be very busy on the last day. How do they get out?
Ming Huazhang felt that things had changed, so he immediately asked the maid to invite the three of them in. He didn’t dare to get too far from Ming Huashang, so he asked the maid to take them to Ming Huashang Courtyard.
Before the sound of the person arrived, Jiangling happily said, “Minghuazhang, a great happy event, the murderer was caught!”
A screen separated the interior and outdoor halls. Minghuazhang’s figure was hidden behind the screen, and the shadows were not visible clearly, like a slender and misty ink mark. But Jiang Ling felt Ming Huazhang’s look back clearly and looked at him coldly, as if the Bingfeng in his eyes was substantial.
Jiang Ling’s yelling words stuck in his throat, and he forgot what he wanted to say. At this time, Ren Yao chased after him, kicked him hard from behind, and scolded him, “My second wife is still sick, can you speak?” Jiang Ling scratched his head and said in a sneer, “I’m not? It means Hua Shang is sick?”A happy event, but a murderer. “
Ming Huazhang stood behind the screen, untied the jade hook, put down the curtain and curtain, and then walked out calmly and said, “She fell asleep, whispered, and went outside. “
Jiang Ling didn’t expect that he would not even have the treatment of sitting down, so he had to stand in the corridor and talk. Ming Huazhang took the lead. Jiang Ling sighed and followed, muttering, “I don’t even give you saliva, I’m stingy. “
Ming Huazhang turned a deaf ear. When he went out, he ran into Xie Jichuan head-on. The two of them looked at each other, and their faces were very plain, as if the people who met in the morning were not them.
Xie Jichuan looked into the room. The curtains behind the screen were hanging everywhere, like smoke, and they couldn’t see clearly, but he knew that there was someone lying there.
After Ming Huashang fainted yesterday, Xie Jichuan sent her back. I wonder if she was better today.
Ming Huazhang stood by the pillar. He saw Xie Jichuan standing in front of the threshold, looking inside without moving, squinted his eyes, and said, “Xie Jichuan, what are you looking at?”
Ming Huazhang’s voice implicitly intimidation. Xie Jichuan rolled his eyes, his long sleeves were winding, and he turned slowly: “Of course, he is looking at his second sister. How is she doing?”
Ming Huazhang said with a blank expression: “She has finally fallen asleep, don’t bother her. Ren Yao can go inside to see it, but you two can’t. Also, call her the second wife. “
When the rest of the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion heard that Xie Jichuan and others had come, they all rushed over to see it. Duke of Zhenguo came in and heard Ming Huazhang’s words and said, “Erlang, don’t you be rude to Mr. Xie. How can guests stand? Please sit inside. ”
“It’s okay. “Xie Jichuan was still smiling, not at all? He didn’t care about Ming Huazhang’s negligence, and looked casual and polite, “The guest follows the host’s will. We are here today, first, to visit our second sister, second, to inform the Duke and the old lady that the murderer who killed the wealthy last night was found. “
Duke Zhenguo was upset all day, and when he heard this, he couldn’t help but feel excited: “Catched”
“Yes?” “Xie Jichuan said, “Talk about that person, my second sister and I have seen each other. Once, she and I came back from outside the city and accidentally bumped into someone near Jingzhao Mansion. The man was crazy and ran away when he saw us. When I was, I should have thought of it. If it weren’t for guilt, how could he have known that he would have harmed his second sister? He should have caught him on the same day. “
Ming Huazhang’s eyebrows were slightly raised. He didn’t show anything and asked, “How did you catch him?”
Ren Yao looked guilty and said, “It was all yesterday that we blamed us for being bad. Let Zhaocai make something happen under our noses. Today, Jiangling and I followed Xie Jichuan to search for a day. Xie Jichuan found a bloody dress in the drainage channel and asked the people around him. They said it seemed like sheep’s half-crazy clothes. We immediately searched Yang Banmai’s home and found it at his homeThe length and shape of the blade were exactly the same as the wound of Zhaocai. We also found blood-stained clothes in his home, saltpeter, sulfur, strange-shaped symbols for preparing gunpowder, and a book full of names. We asked these names? What, he said it was? The person he was going to kill. “
Jiangling took the speech and said, “We were here to go to his house to ask questions, but when he saw the Yulin Army, he ran away. After being caught, he still spoke nonsense. Sometimes he said that he was going to kill all of us, and sometimes he cried with his head in his arms, saying that the court was monitoring him and that a big man wanted to harm him. We asked him whether he did the previous explosions? Did he admit it? He also said that there were bombs buried under Chang’an. In another three days, the Buddha would come to pick him up. “
Jiang Ling couldn’t bear it anymore and rolled his eyes: “It’s so amazing. He is an ordinary person who wants nothing. Who would want him to be too lazy to listen to his nonsense, so he quickly came from Jingzhao Mansion and told you the good news of the case. “
Xie Jichuan sighed: “I really didn’t expect that the one who made so many things in Chang’an and made half of the court go around was actually a crazy man. “
Ming Huazhang asked slowly: “Yang Banmai is the name of the murderer”
“Yes? nickname. “Ren Yao said, “No one knows his real name, but only knows that his surname is Yang. He is usually normal for half of the time, and his other half is crazy and always yells that others want to kill him, so everyone calls him Yang Baimai. “
Minghuazhang asked: “Why did he think others wanted to kill him?”
“I don’t know? Ah. “Ren Yao said, “Why would he say he is “间平”
“Then why should he kill and attract wealth?” Ming Huazhang was stunned and said, “No, if he followed his riddle, the person he was going to kill should be “Ming”. My surname is Ming, or is it? The court ordered an official, why didn’t he choose to kill me? “He is an abnormal person and cannot be judged by common sense. “Xie Jichuan said, “He was suspicious. It was obviously just a normal movement, but he thought it was? Others wanted to harm him. Maybe the second sister did something unintentionally, and he mistakenly thought that the second sister wanted to harm him. He wanted to kill the second sister out of self-protection. But what I stayed outside that day was to attract wealth, and by chance, I blocked the disaster for my second sister. The bloody clothes and knives in his room were all in line with Zhaocai’s body. ”
