Yang Qingshui said sadly: "Mr. Yang, you don't know the whole story. My wife, Zhou, is the daughter of Mr. Zhou, deputy director of the Yangzhou Salt Course Department. When Zhou Tiju had a marriage, he said first. If his daughter gave birth to a son for our Yang family, I would not be able to take a concubine anymore. Even if I can't have a son, I can't take a concubine before the age of forty."

"Damn, what's the nonsense rule?" Yang Qiuchi was angry, "If you marry a daughter, you should marry a daughter. You have to set such constraints. What's the matter?"

After hearing this, Yang Qingshui didn't know what this "touch" was, and probably was talking to him. He suddenly felt a sense of knowing each other. He was moved and agreed and said, "Yes, but this marriage was decided by his parents. If his parents agreed, I can't do anything about it."

Song Tongzhi interrupted and said, "Since the two families have agreed, then you, you will take the Guo family home, violate the agreement between the two families, it is yours, it is wrong."

"Mr. Song doesn't know anything," said Yang Qingshui. "Not long after I got married with Zhou, my father-in-law Zhou Tiju was impeached and dismissed from office."

So that's what it means, Zhou's father was an official. The deputy of the Salt Course Department was from the seventh rank in the Ming Dynasty. He was an official from the age of two families. Of course, the Yang family dared not break the contract. However, since Zhou's father has been dismissed from office and has lost his backstage, the Yang family wants to break the contract, and the Zhou family has no choice.

Because the original agreement of the Zhou family was too harsh and even contrary to reason, the Yang family would not be criticized by the world if they wanted to break the contract. However, the final decision was made by Mr. Yang. His father was still there, and Yang Qingshui had no autonomy.

Yang Qiuchi understood a little and said, "Do you want to please your father by collecting debts for his father and let him agree to your concubine?"

Yang Qingshui nodded: "Yes, I am the eldest son of the Yang family. My wife, Zhou, gave birth to a daughter for the first time, and she never gave birth again. My parents also hoped that there would be a hot spot sooner. So I guess my parents would agree. Unexpectedly... Unexpected..." Speaking of this, Yang Qingshui was a little sad and could not continue.

Yang Qiuchi waited for him to calm down before asking, "I can't imagine what happened?"

"I didn't expect that I came back from Yangzhou. Guo and Guo have become my third concubine."

Although we knew the result before, Yang Qiuchi was still surprised: "Your father actually took Guo, whom you brought back, as a concubine. It's really..." It's hard to comment too much about the elders involved.

Yang Qingshui looked sad and still calm in the sadness of the past.

Song Tongzhi was also a little surprised when he heard this. It would be fine if Mr. Yang was unwilling to break the contract and disagree with his son to take a concubine. How could he take the woman he brought back as a concubine by himself?

But then again, since you, Yang Qingshui, cannot take Guo as your concubine, and Old Master Yang accepts her, it may be inappropriate to use a metaphor. This is called "Food water will not flow to outsiders' fields." However, the father and son are snatching women, which is a bit disgusting.

Yang Qingshui continued: "After I came back and learned about this, I burst into tears. When my father saw that I was pitiful, he took the initiative to say that the Zhou family's oath was not necessary and that I could take a concubine at any time. But I was angry that Guo broke his promise and married my father. I was discouraged and had no intention of taking a concubine. Secondly, my wife kept making trouble, so until now, this concubine has not been accepted.

County Magistrate Luo has a general understanding of this case. The chief is here, and he has never dared to interrupt casually. He is more concerned about the case of killing the third concubine. Hearing this, he couldn't help but finally say: "It seems that you are so angry that Guo is so angry that he betrays you and marry your father, so you kill her to vent your anger!"

Yang Qiuchi was shocked. County Magistrate Luo was really subjective and almost comparable to himself. He said, "Mr. Luo is such a bad word. If Yang Qingshui had to take revenge, he would not have been able to endure it for a year. He would have to take revenge and kill people after Guo gave birth to a son."

Even though he said that, he thought in his heart that this possibility is not without it. If Yang Qingshui was unforgettable to this hatred, and was so great that he could vent his anger only when he killed someone, he could still endure it. However, if he could endure hatred for a year before he could put it into practice, his cunning would probably be rare in the world.

County Magistrate Luo dared not defend Yang Qiuchi's rebuttal, but he could not express his thoughts, and his face turned red.

Yang Qiuchi asked County Magistrate Luo with a smile: "Are you thinking that he might have been crazy after seeing Guo and his father give birth to a child, and he was so angry that he killed someone to vent his anger?"

This was exactly what County Magistrate Luo thought in his heart, and he nodded involuntarily. Yang Qiuchi turned to look at Yang Qingshui and said, "You should answer this question yourself."

Yang Qingshui said: "Three sirs, in fact, although I am angry with her, I don't hate her. I know she has no choice. Moreover, she and I haven't known each other for a long time, and there is no deep relationship. For her, it's enough to marry a wealthy family. Age doesn't matter. Anyway, she is always a concubine. She may think that in this family, marrying my father will be much better than marrying me."

Yang Qiuchi agreed: "Yes, but she didn't consider that the eldest grandmother and second aunt would not let her have a good life."

"Actually, even if he married me, he might not have a good life. My wife, Zhou..." At this point, Yang Qingshui stopped talking.

"Sister-in-law Zhou? What's wrong with her?" Yang Qiuchi asked, "Can she tolerate the third concubine Guo?"

After all the words were said, Yang Qingshui thought about it and decided to continue: "My mother knows that I was going to take Guo back as a concubine. She has been worried about it. She will find fault with the third concubine if she has anything to do. My mother, second concubine, Ai Xiao and others have all tortured her in different ways."

"After the third aunt became pregnant, they were afraid that the third aunt would give birth to a young master, so they kicked her belly and wanted to kick the child in her belly. The third aunt told my father that my father didn't believe it. Fortunately, the housekeeper Pang was quite righteous. Once, he saw them kicking and hitting the third aunt, secretly told Mr. Yang and caught them on the spot."

"Old Master Yang was very angry. He said that if the third aunt had a miscarriage, not only would she have to punish them with family law, but she would also sue the officials for their crimes. Only then did they restrain themselves."

"Later, they had one thing in front of each other: When my father was on the ground, they were so kind to the third aunt. They carried my father on his back and did not treat her as a human being. Fortunately, my father had something to say first. They didn't dare to hit her in the stomach, so Shan'er was born safely. Unexpectedly, they still couldn't escape the second aunt Zhang's poisonous hand. This woman was really cruel."

"I was so angry that I was so angry that I stood up for the third aunt. Unexpectedly, the second aunt told my father about me standing up for the third aunt. It made me beaten hard by my father using family methods and it took me more than a month to get out of bed. From then on, I dare not care about their affairs."

Song Yuner was most disgusted with such things and asked: "Don't the old man know that they are doing something behind the scenes?"

"Why don't you know, but what can my father do? He can't guard the third aunt every day. Besides, what can she do to my mother and the second aunt? The palms and backs of hands are all flesh. It hurts when hitting any side."

This is true, but Song Yuner was still a little angry and looked at him with contempt: "Are you just letting them torture the third concubine like this? After all, you brought her home."

"What can I do? Later, I saw that she was bullied. I secretly told her that she wanted to let her run away, but she refused, saying that since she married my father, she would admit her life and death."

Yang Qiuchi asked, "The third aunt was so crazy about holding you and saying that she would agree to you. Is it just that you want to let her go?" This sounds a little clear but a little confused. "If you let her go, she will leave, there is no need to agree!"

Yang Qingshui's thin face turned slightly red and said, "For you to catch the real murderer and avenge the third concubine, I'll tell the truth."

After pausing, she continued with a blushing face: "I told my third aunt that not only would she let her go, but she also said that she would give her some money to hide in Yingtian Mansion. I would use the study tour to guard her. But she refused, saying that she would rather let them beat her to death than lose this person. Moreover, she hoped that if she could give birth to a son for my father, she would not suffer this kind of suffering again."

I understood that the third concubine must have been bullied at Old Master Yang's house, so I heard Yang Qingshui say she wanted to hide her in the golden house. On the surface, she did not agree, but in her heart she agreed. Therefore, when she became a nerd, she lost her rationality and involuntarily expressed her thoughts.

Yang Qiuchi said: "There is a problem that is a bit difficult to answer, but I must ask. I hope my cousin will not be offended."

Yang Qingshui bowed slightly: "Mr. Yang is so serious. I will report it according to the truth."

"After the third aunt married the old man, have you still had that kind of relationship with her... to her?" Yang Qiuchi couldn't find any obscure words, so he had to ask vaguely. Fortunately, this kind of thing is easy to understand what it means.

Yang Qingshui's face turned red suddenly, and then he said solemnly: "Of course not. I, Yang Qingshui, are very clear about this kind of ethics, ethics, ethics, integrity and shame. How could I do such a thing that is worse than pigs and dogs! I have always respected the third aunt and dare not go beyond the line!"

Song Tongzhi snorted: "Speak, it sounds nice, why are you still preparing for gold? Are you hiding the beauty in the golden house?"

Yang Qingshui's face turned redder, and she lowered her head and said, "That's right, that was what I asked rashly when I saw that the third aunt was tortured by them. However, I just said that, and there was absolutely nothing animalistic about her!"

"If she promises you to elope, then, won't that happen?" Song Tongzhi still held on.

"I was confused for a moment, but fortunately she didn't agree. Otherwise, I would have fallen into a state of doom. However, I have never had such an unethical thing with her. It's true. Please take a look."

Yang Qingshui's statement is very credible. Under the same roof, if he dares to be unclear with his father and concubine, and he will be so smart that he will definitely not be able to escape his eyes.

There is no longer no women in the world. As the eldest son of the Yang family and the heir to the future Yang family, Yang Qingshui is very clear about how he made such a low-level mistake?

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the two to commit adultery for a long time, but it cannot be completely ruled out that they will have a one-night stand when the old man is away. Therefore, Shan'er may still be born by Yang Qingshui and the third concubine.

Song Tongzhi had another question unclear and asked, "Since you said that the Third Aunt was not killed by you, then what would you run away after the Third Aunt died?"

Yang Qingshui said: "I didn't run away, but hid."

How could this person speak in a mess? Is there any substantial difference between running and hiding? Since he doesn't admit that he killed someone, he doesn't have to run or hide. Song Tongzhi also asked strangely: "Then, why do you want to hide?"

"I saw the ghost too!" Almost two years ago, Yang Qingshui still showed a look of fear when he spoke. It shows how frightened he was at that time. "The third aunt hanged herself and committed suicide, no, she was strangled to death the next night, that is, the night my father saw the ghost. I also saw the ghost!"

Song Yuner has been a little scared by the haunted incident these two days. At this moment, she heard that Yang Qingshui had also seen the ghost. She was even more shocked and asked, "Did you also see the ghost of the Third Aunt standing by your bed and watching you laugh?"

Yang Qingshui shook her head: "It would be great if I could speak that way. I just hope to see her ghost."

His eyes were staring straight ahead. It seemed that he saw the terrifying thing again, "I couldn't sleep that day, and the third aunt's voice, appearance and smile seemed to be right in front of me. She was dead. I realized that I cared about her so much."

At this moment, Yang Qingshui talked about the third concubine, just like talking about his lover, not his father's concubine.

"But her ghost didn't come to me. What I saw that day was a real evil spirit! Although she was wearing white clothes like the third concubine, she was a evil spirit. Her skin on her face seemed to melt, falling down one by one, her nose, mouth, ears, and eyes fell down one by one, and finally became a bloody skull. I was scared to faint at last."

After listening to Yang Qingshui's description, Yang Qiuchi felt a little moved. Why was it very similar to his hallucinations? Could it be that Yang Qingshui was also given a hallucination drug? Moreover, the hallucination drug was stronger than Mr. Yang, so Mr. Yang saw that the divine was a normal third concubine, just like the first time he got a hallucination drug. And the hallucination drug that Yang Qingshui and the one he was given this time were given a large dose before he saw the evil ghost.

It seems that some people want to harm Yang Qingshui, not by poison, but by hallucinogens, which will make Yang Qingshui have terrifying hallucinations and scare him to death.

Yang Qiuchi asked Yang Qingshui: "Then did you see the evil ghost later?"

"No, because after that time, I would never dare to stay here again. If there was another time, I would be scared to death. In addition, after the third aunt died, I walked in this yard with her figure everywhere. Every scene could arouse my painful thoughts. I could no longer bear this torture, so I left the village the next day using the excuse of studying. Fortunately, after leaving the village, I never saw that terrifying evil spirit again."

Fortunately, Yang Qingshui left the village and escaped this disaster. However, now he is back, why did the person who gave him hallucinations to him not continue to do so? It is probably because of his arrival that this person needs to deal with him first. Anyway, Yang Qingshui is from this family and cannot escape.

If what Yang Qingshui said before was true, he would think about the third concubine everywhere, and even be beaten by his father for helping her. Then he would not have enough motivation to kill the third concubine.

It seems that the same person who gave the hallucinogenic drugs was to scare him away. The drug to the third aunt was to make her stupid and take the opportunity to kill her (unexpectedly, the accident caused her to cause her to have a crazy and crazy mental illness). The purpose of drugging Old Master Yang was not very clear.

But why did this person harm Yang Qingshui? What benefits would it be for Yang Qingshui to die?

Household property? Is it to compete for household property?

Kill Yang Qingshui and then kill the young master Shan'er. Who will belong to this property? Only Yang Aixiao, the daughter of the second concubine. Could it be that all this was done by Yang Aixiao and her mother?

Why is Yang Aixiao not yet married yet at the age of seventeen? Is it to wait for the inheritance? Yang Qiuchi's head flashed with a flash of inspiration, as if he saw the hope of solving the case right in front of him.

Now we need to seize this inspiration and first determine whether Yang Aixiao is suspected of crime, and then turn around and interrogate his sister-in-law Zhou to investigate and confirm whether Yang Qiuchi was at home that night.

Yang Qiuchi asked Yang Qingshui to retreat from the court and asked the constable to bring Yang Aixiao.

Yang Aixiao's mother was caught and she had no intention of laughing. Now the official asked her to ask questions. She was very nervous. She didn't know if it was her mother's business involved her. She was frightened. When she saw Song Tongzhi sitting upright in the hall, she was even more scared. She would kneel down when she felt weak.

Yang Qiuchi made a gesture to stop her: "This is not in the serious yamen, so my cousin doesn't have to give this gift." He asked her to sit down on the chair where Yang Qingshui was sitting just now.

This Yang Aixiao is Yang Qiuchi's cousin, so there is no need to be so polite, so Yang Qiuchi asked bluntly: "Cousin, what were you doing the night when the third concubine died?"

"I'm sleeping in my mother's room." Yang Aixiao whispered.

"In your mother's room? Don't you have a small yard yourself?"

Yang Aixiao looked a little flustered and lowered her head and didn't say anything.

Yang Qiuchi was not angry with her, so he looked at Song Tongzhi. Song Tongzhi understood, his face darkened, and he shouted: "Yang Aixiao, I asked, why don't I answer?"

Yang Aixiao was stunned. It was clearly what his cousin Yang Qiuchi asked just now. Why did you ask? But the master was angry. How could she dare to say no? He quickly replied: "Yes, that night, I was talking in my mother's room. It was too late, and I didn't go back."

"Speak? Say, what do you say?" Song Tongzhi asked in a deep voice.
