Chapter 262 You Dalang
Although he could infer the result of this case, since the governor of Langzhou wanted to handle this case, he could not compete. After all, the west of the town is far away from Langzhou, and it is inconvenient to travel. Unless necessary, he could not leave the west of the town and go to Langzhou, so he could only hand over the case to Langzhou for handling.
Called the constable and asked them to send You Xugao's coffin to Langzhou. The constables were relieved. During this period, Yu Xugao's coffin was really unhappy. They had to go to the backyard to do business frequently. As soon as they entered the yard, they saw a coffin. If anyone's mood could get better, it would be really strange. They could finally send it away.
The constables transported the coffin out. Cai Cai saw it and ran to Yang Ze and said, "Does Langzhou really want to take over this case? You really guessed it."
Yang Ze said: "What's hard to guess? Sometimes it seems very bizarre, but it's actually very simple. Just remove the appearance of those confusing eyes, and the essence is so simple that it can surprise you!"
Cai Cai asked, "Then, who did you think that killed You Xugao?"
He said with a roar, Yang Ze said: "Whoever benefits will be the murderer, what's hard to guess?"
Cai Cai nodded, she took out a few pieces of paper and smiled, "Look, this is the picture I drew, it's the story of You Xugao going to the riverside this time. Unfortunately, you can't solve this case anymore, and I can't continue painting this comic strip."
Yang Ze took the drawing paper and looked at it. Cai Cai was very talented in painting. Although the painting was a bit abstract and not lifelike, it was also quite good. The lines were simple and suitable for carving on wooden boards and making woodblock printing.
After praising Cai Cai a few words, a mission came to report that the Murong tribe had brought the Toutu, which was the Gamuhana group, and the salt from the west of the town was sent. Murong Xigu kept his word and immediately sent the Toutuo!
When Gamuha and others were taken up, Yang Ze grinned. Well, these three heads were almost tortured to the point of being unnatural. They were all in shape and had no mind, and their former arrogant and fierce aura was gone, leaving only one breath, looking like they were about to die at any time.
Yang Ze asked the centurion of Murong's troops who were in charge of escorting. How did they treat these lords and how did they become like this?
The centurion said for granted: "I didn't abuse them much, I just put them in a cage and hung them on high wooden stakes so that the whole tribe can see them and not be afraid of them running away. And they eat and drink a lot. They don't blame us for their appearance."
Yang Ze closed his eyes and imagined the way these toutu were hung up. He himself suffered for these toutu. It is estimated that Gamuha would even feel the desire to die.
He rewarded the centurion and his subordinates with a hundred kilograms of tea bricks. The centurion left happily, and he kept thanking him before leaving, and he could hardly close his mouth.
Yang Ze wrote another official document and reported the matter to the governor Gong Yangliu. No one could take away the credit for this. Gong Yangliu could at most make a few words of praise, but he was more generous, but he could ease the tension between him and Gong Yangliu.
He sent someone to send Gongwen and Toutu to Qiuzhou and handed it over to Gongyangliu. Gongyangliu was responsible for escorting the Toutu to Beijing and asking for rewards. This matter came to an end.
In the next few days, Yang Ze was busy dealing with the affairs of the west of the town. Now the west of the town is booming. Although more and more people are fleeing famines in various places, because Yan Chenghou is reliable in his work and the yamen is not short of money, everything goes smoothly. Those who fled famine can repair the city wall first. Even if the elderly and children can help with some work, they will be indispensable for eating in one bite. The strong man and the strong woman can find better jobs. It is not worth mentioning to eat well, but it is very easy to eat full.
Yang Ze personally picked a few sensible maids and sent them to Li Yan's family. Li Yan was fine, but the princess was so happy that she couldn't even close her mouth. Finally, she could use others again. She finally got her old noble life back, and even Cai Cai had a little maid, and she named her first maid Banzi.
A little maid was named Banzi. Yang Ze was quite puzzled. After asking Caicai, he realized that Caicai originally wanted to name the little maid Mubanzi, but it would be a bit misunderstood when she called it, so she was called Banzi. This is because she always wanted to publish paintings and publish her paintings, and she thought that her paintings could be engraved on wooden boards, so she named this name.
Yang Ze thought to himself: "Whether it is a board or a wooden board, it is ugly enough. Well, it seems that Caicai has the talent to call a nickname online in the future. A little girl called a board, which is not very good for others to pay attention. If you make friends online, make sure that others can remember this person by taking a look at the nickname!"
After ten days, people suddenly came to Langzhou again and sent the official documents of the governor of Langzhou. It turned out that things had changed, and the You family had a new case. This time, the You family didn't want to settle the matter and had to solve the case. The family was quarreled and no longer willing to give benefits to the governor of Langzhou. The governor was furious and remembered Yang Ze, and insisted that the last case was not over. Now that the case was in the case, Yang Ze was asked to help the trial. Who told him to play the case again? Only he could do it, no one else would.
Yang Ze carefully read the official documents, and after reading them, he slapped the table and thought to himself: "This time, the trouble is so big. This case cannot be called a case in the case, but can only be called a serial case. If Cai Cai knew about it, she would probably have to draw a lot of them. What a complicated case!"
Nearly a month ago, the Youjia Mansion in Langzhou.
You Xusheng was unintentionally reading. He sat in front of the window and looked at the plum blossoms in the courtyard. He wanted to write a poem, but he couldn't write it out. He was just because his heart was too confused and his thoughts were full of thoughts, so he really couldn't concentrate on reading and writing poems.
You Xusheng is the third generation eldest grandson of the You family. He can be regarded as the eldest son and the first heir of the family. However, he has been studying since he was a child and is determined to take the imperial examinations. He wants to be an official, but he is not a good source of study. He has read a lot of books, but he failed many exams. He is already past 35 years old and has passed three times, but failed the exams again and again. It is estimated that it will be difficult for him to pass the exam in the future. If he wants to seek an official career, he can only pass the path of buying an official.
If you fail the exam, it doesn't matter if you buy an official. Anyway, the You family has money, but he is a little stupid because he is studying. The old man of the You family, his grandfather, thinks he cannot inherit the family business, so he chose his third brother as the heir, that is, You Xugao is the heir to inherit the family business, and he has nothing to do with him.
It's nothing if my third brother is the heir. You Xusheng knew that he was not a business man, just like he was not a student man. If he inherited the family business, he would probably have to lose all the property in a few years, so he did not object. Of course, it was a waste of opposition. Old Master You said that he was the one who was, and he did not listen to his objections.
You Xusheng originally wanted to become an official, but he had no great ideals in his life, but after his third brother You Xugao became the heir, he took over the business, but cut his money. He objected to his desire to buy an official, believing that he could not be literary, and that martial arts could not be martial, and that he would be an angry person after becoming an official, so it would be better to have a meal at home to avoid being embarrassed by the You family.
As a result, You Xusheng was naturally dissatisfied, but he had no choice but to face the toughness of his third brother, he could only retreat. At most, he would drink more wine, play with alcohol and complain at his third brother's wedding.
But unexpectedly, he was drunk and complained, but he ruined his third brother You Xugao's wedding. The third brother was even more dissatisfied with him and further cut off his money, making him, the eldest grandson of the You family, live a tight life. His wife also quarreled with him, and the children also thought that he was a coward who was a father, and no one sympathized with him.
All of these are all. Even his grandfather, Old Master You, thinks he is a useless person and is useless. Old Master You used to be born in a green skin, and believed that he was not afraid of Jingzhao Yin and was not afraid of King Yama when he died. The one he looked down upon the most was that he was a useless person. So if You Xusheng gave in to his third brother You Xusheng, it would be useless. Instead, his life became even more difficult.
But just yesterday, someone from the Langzhou Governor's Mansion came over and said that You Xugao's body was found in the west of the town. His third brother had been dead for several months!
The You family was in chaos, and Old Master You fainted directly. The uncles in each room made a fuss, and even some servants fled with their belongings, as if the end of the world was coming.
You Xusheng is not valued on weekdays, and he doesn't go out to join in the fun at this moment. He just doubts that the third brother has gone out to discuss business, so why did he die outside? It is normal to stay away from home for several months in business, but if the third brother has been dead for several months, it means that he died as soon as he left Langzhou and entered the west of Zhenxi. What about his servant for such a long time? Why don't he come back to report a letter and just bury the third brother? Could it be that the servant hurt the third brother?
The third brother who was difficult to get along with died, and You Xusheng still felt a little sad. After all, he was a younger brother, not a cousin. It was difficult to get along with him when he was old, but he was still good when he was a child, and he was always a family.
A servant came to the small courtyard where he lived and shouted, "Young Master, the old man is asking you to come over, don't let the old man wait for a long time!"
You Xusheng said with a whisper, thinking: "Why did you call me over? Didn't my grandfather always look down on me? He even said to me in person that I was a coward. Now something happened at home, and he didn't look for others, why did he look for me?"
Not daring to delay, he hurried to the yard where his grandfather lived. The yard was full of people. Although the weather was cold, Old Master You didn't let them enter the house, so they could only wait in the yard.
You Xusheng looked at the people in the yard, including a few uncles, his second brother, and a dozen other cousins. His father passed away early, otherwise he would have to stand in the yard and wait.
Without saying hello to the uncles, You Xusheng hurried into the main house to pay homage to his grandfather.
Old Master You was lying on the bed, his face was very strange, including anger, sadness, and disappointment. All kinds of expressions were intertwined, making the face of this young man look very terrifying.
You Xusheng went into the house to salute Mr. You and asked, "Grandfather, did you call your grandson? Do you have any instructions?"
Old Master You looked at the eldest grandson for a long time and suddenly said, "Dalang, I plan to make you the heir and take charge of family affairs. Are you willing?"
