"I don't know if I'm on stage. It's not that I have to watch this Miss Xu dance, but there is another reason."
This sentence seemed to be a surprise to everyone present, and they all looked at Cen Qifeng. Gao Pragmatic also seemed to be surprised, and asked in surprise: "What's the reason?"
Cen Qifeng sighed, looking worried, and said: "Zhen'an and Sicheng live next to each other, and there have never been any disputes. How many years has Shaoxun, the lower official, been so stupid that he has always regarded him as his own brother? If there is no reason, how could this happen? Asking his concubine to perform a dance for everyone? When Shi Nai was in Zhen'an, he heard several times that this concubine of Shao Xun, Mrs. Xu, did not abide by the rules of women, committed adultery, and poisoned Shao Xun... Rumors Shaoxun's illness is not caused by any malaria, but caused by poisoning."
As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.
"Is that so?"
"How did Brother Qifeng know about this?"
"I just said that Shaoxun was in good health, so how could he suddenly be struck by a miasma? Look at that old mother, our Cen family has been living here for generations, and it has been hundreds of years. How can there be any reason for a miasma!"
"Having that black thing in your mouth really offends my appetite. Hurry up and pull out the asshole and chop it up!"
"What are you cutting? For adultery, you should dip it in a pig cage!"
"Yeah, yeah, dip in the pig cage, dip in the pig cage, I'm so fucking angry!"
Every time the chieftains in Guixi shouted, the faces of the chieftains in Sicheng Prefecture darkened, and even Cen Ling's expression turned very bad.
Gao pragmatic suddenly turned around and asked Cen Ling: "Judge Cen, my brother is not here today, so I can only ask you - have you heard about this?"
Cen Qi Gongzi also had a bad look on his face, and said with a somewhat stiff tone: "If someone says that someone has an intention for my sister-in-law... against Mrs. Xu, I will believe it, but if it is said that Mr. Xu poisoned my brother, I will not believe it." of."
Gao Pragmatic looked as usual and asked calmly: "Is there a reason for Judge Cen to say this?"
Cen Qi Gongzi said: "Yes, in the past, before Xu married into the Cen family, she was a well-known beauty. In the west of Guangxi, people who admired her could go from Sicheng to Tianzhou. Therefore, the official said that someone The reason why your subordinates will believe you if you have an attempt on her."
Gao pragmatic nodded and asked: "Then, why does Judge Cen firmly believe that she will not poison your brother?"
Cen Qi Gongzi took a deep breath and said: "Because although she grew up in a children's home, she is actually from the Hua Miao people. The Hua Miao people are a branch of the Miao people. The number of their tribe is quite small, and the leader and the leader's daughter will be raised from an early age. The voodoo is called the life and death voodoo. This voodoo is not cultivated to harm others, but is planted by a woman to her husband on her wedding night, and from then on the two of them will live and die together."
Gao Jingshi still hasn't understood something like Gu. He couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this, and asked: "This Gu sounds very affectionate, but if we really live and die together... what if the woman dies first?" Wouldn’t she have harmed her husband? If her husband died first, wouldn’t she have harmed herself again? It’s difficult to understand the purpose of this Gu.”
Cen Qi Gongzi shook his head and said: "Don't think that Miao girls are often good at voodoo, so you think that Miao girls have a higher status in the clan. In fact, the Miao people are more superior to men than to women than other tribes. This life and death voodoo is actually The embodiment of this difference between superiority and inferiority.
If the Miao girl dies first, her husband will not cause any harm. The poison in his body will die within three months, and then the person will be no different from ordinary people. On the other hand, if her husband dies first, the worms in the Miao girl's body will fall into madness, and the Miao girl will die within three days. "
Master Cen Qi sighed and looked a little sad: "The life and death Gu, the life and death Gu, is nothing more than the Miao girl's willingness to die with her husband. Once this life and death Gu is planted, the Miao girl will only be tied to this person for her whole life. Is the following official? Said that she would definitely not poison my brother."
Gao Pragmatic couldn't understand Gu's question, so he let it go first, but asked: "Even if there is no possibility of poisoning and assassination, is there still talk of adultery?"
Master Cen Qi shook his head and said: "Hua Miao people do not intermarry with other tribes, but she is willing to marry my brother. This shows that the two of them have a deep relationship. In fact... my brother's wife died early, and he had already set up the Xu family. However, Mrs. Xu said that her wife died due to excessive bleeding during childbirth. Now that Yunhan is here, how can she usurp the throne and become the principal wife, so she rejected her brother's kindness. Let me ask, such a person who does not seek wealth or fame How could a woman like this do such a terrible thing?"
After hearing this, Gao Pragmatic couldn't help but feel that what he said made sense. After thinking about it, he looked at Cen Qifeng and asked, "Prefect Cen, what do you have to say about what Judge Cen said?"
Cen Qifeng smiled and said: "It's not a high-level discussion, but there is a bit of speculation."
Gao pragmatic nodded: "Prefect Cen, please speak."
"I thought that maybe it was because of the deep relationship between Xu and Shaoxun that she committed adultery." Cen Qifeng didn't care that her words once again caused an uproar in the house, and said calmly: "Perhaps, if she didn't do this , Shaoxun is not seriously ill now, but has died."
Gao Pingshi's heart moved, but Cen Ling's expression changed drastically. He suddenly stood up and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
Cen Qifeng stretched out her hand towards him and made a weak gesture to signal him to calm down, and said: "Cen Ling, don't be anxious, just think about it... why Shaoxun has been ill for several years, but... Just being sick, no matter how serious the illness is, even if you can’t see anyone for several years, but you won’t die?”
The words sounded disrespectful, but everyone could tell that he was just talking about the matter and had no other intentions. Therefore, Cen Ling's face changed continuously, and finally he looked at Huang Ma with a livid face.
Huang Ma's face was also extremely ugly. When she saw Cen Ling looking at her, she looked at him coldly and said in a cold voice: "What does the Seventh Young Master mean by looking at this official like this?"
Cen Ling said sharply: "What did you do?"
Huang Ma didn't expect that he would break up. Murderous intent appeared in his eyes, and he said ferociously: "What did I do? What do you think?"
Everyone was in an uproar again. They didn't expect to hear such a story while having a meal.
Gao pragmatic suddenly said: "Huang Shoubei, where is that Xu family now? I should have something to ask her."
Huang Ma was ready to break up. He knew that this kind of thing had happened and Gao Jingshi couldn't help him, so he smiled coldly and said sarcastically: "Press the stage, this is Lingyun City. Who do you want to see here?" It's not you who has the final say, it's me, Huang, who has the final say."
Gao Pragmatic narrowed his eyes slightly, but before he could speak, he suddenly heard a female voice coming from the back hall: "When you are summoned on stage, how dare you not come, a bitch?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards the back hall with wide eyes. Gao Pragmatic also turned around in surprise.
I saw a young woman who had just turned 20 years old come out of the back hall. She was not wearing the clothes of a Miao girl, but an ordinary Han dress, but her eyebrows were like distant mountains and her eyes were like autumn water. She has two beautiful eyes, a beautiful nose and red lips, and a willow waist. Although her eyebrows are full of worry, it makes people feel more pity. She is really a beautiful woman who is not inferior to Huang Zhiting.
The difference between the two women, apart from the age difference, is probably their temperament.
Huang Zhiting was born charming, but because she was in charge of the power of the government, she was actually quite decisive in her words and deeds. It was only when she was faced with high pragmatism that she would show off her little girlish attitude.
But this Mrs. Xu looks even more sympathetic because of her overwhelming melancholy. However, she is actually a married woman, and her behavior has a more mature charm, which is in line with Huang Zhiting's young girl. The style is very different.
When she walked up to Gao Jingshi, she did not just wish Gao Jingshi a blessing like the official women, but knelt down on her knees, bowed her head and said: "The bitch Xu, because she committed adultery with Huang Ma, it is against the rules of women, and she is not guilty." I beg your pardon. Today I heard that Guangxi’s censor Gao Gong was here and he came specifically to seek death.”
