Chapter 2129: Past (3) Chapter 2129: Past (3) “Yan chengbing, the magistrate?”
She didn't know if the two surnamed nie were related, but song qingxiao felt that the clues were connected.
For the Shen family to be able to turn the tables so quickly after being imprisoned and develop so rapidly a few years later, other than producing evidence, it was likely that there was no lack of help.
The fact that magistrate Yan chengbing was able to help them when they were in trouble showed that the relationship between the two sides was not ordinary.
After the Shen family became rich, Shen zening's marriage to the Yan family's daughter was probably related to Yan chengbing.
She frowned and took a deep breath, suppressing the anxiety in her heart. Although the ancient books were not complete and there were only a few records, he could roughly guess what had happened.
The female ghost was most likely the lady of the Meng family who had hung herself in the mulberry forest in July more than 300 years ago.
Whether it was the development of the silkworm industry in Shen villa or her anger when she heard the words 'Meng fanglan', it could be verified.
However, he had found out her identity and background, as well as some of her past, but what did this have to do with his mission?
She flipped through the book again. Unexpectedly, she found a record on the last page of the Shen villa historical records of the ninth year of wansheng.
Nine years of wansheng. November.
There was an unusual phenomenon in the Shen family. Someone swam back in the middle of the night, saying that the ghost had frightened Yan.
Before this, there had never been such a serious record about ghosts and gods in these historical records. This was the first time song qingxiao had seen such a book.
A scholar has his own righteousness, and he does not speak.
Perhaps there were all kinds of legends about gods and ghosts in the unofficial history, but in the real records like this, they had to be reported to the Imperial court and kept in their own archives.
The official who had recorded this incident would never have dared to casually write down such a story, unless the incident had been so big that it could not be suppressed at all.
This record was a pleasant surprise. Before song qingxiao could close the book, the red mist surrounded the book and hit it with a boom.
The book was quickly corroded by the red light, turning into black gas and dissipating.
The ghostly Qi corroded her palm and stirred up the light scales in her palm.
Song Qing's eyes flashed with killing intent, and aunt Wu shouted happily, ”
“I found a book!”
“The records of Meng Zhuang in the first year of wansheng, Qing Xiao …”
Before she could finish her sentence, the ghost head in the air opened its mouth and a huge tongue rolled towards Auntie Wu.
The tip of the tongue was surrounded by a black and red blood light, which was extremely terrifying.
However, before it could touch aunt Wu's body, a purple light flashed and it was blocked by the blooming purple flame Lotus.
As the flames flickered, the female ghost let out an extremely shrill cry.
This scream was far louder than when she was bitten by the group of ghosts. It was enough to show how serious her injuries were.
Aunt Wu was so shocked that she fell to the ground, but she still gritted her teeth and crawled toward song qingxiao. She tried to push the book forward until it was caught by the spiritual force.
Song Qing took the records of mengzhuang into his hands and flipped it open. As expected, the first page read:The first year of wansheng.
This was a crucial item, and it had come at the right time.
The female ghost was still shrieking in pain, and her voice was endless.
Song qingxiao held her breath and carefully read the book, unlike her previous impatience.
Many things happened in the first year of wansheng.
That year, the chaotic world ended, and the great Jin Dynasty was founded.
The Emperor had shown mercy to the world and reduced taxes.
In the same year, the emperor's birthday was approaching, and officials of various ranks were preparing to bring local specialties and other items to the capital to celebrate.
Since ancient times, Meng Zhuang had been a town on the water. Transportation was well developed, and merchants and merchants came and went from all over the country. There were also many rare things.
There was a rich local family with the surname Shen who started his family by selling silk and cloth. He was considered a prominent figure in Meng village.
After hearing about this matter, he competed with Meng Zhuang's largest Squire to get the threshold of tribute, to get the favor of the government and fight for the title of Imperial merchant.
However, their competitor was the Meng family, who had a lot of power in the village. Their business included porcelain, silk, tea leaves, and so on. They were extremely rich.
It was reasonable to say that the Shen family had no way to compete with the Meng family for the right to pay Tributes, but the Shen family finally presented an extraordinary embroidered item, which unexpectedly opened the door to the government, and was highly valued by the local officials.
The double-sided pattern could show different patterns according to the intensity of the light. The exquisiteness of the technique and the ingenuity of the mind were simply unparalleled in the world. It could be called a one-in-million treasure.
The officials who saw the embroidery were shocked and the Shen family was valued by the officials because of this treasure.
Overnight, the Shen family had made a name for themselves and even defeated their competitor, the Meng family, and was selected as a tribute merchant.
When the officials received this embroidery, they regarded it as a treasure and immediately wanted to ship it to the capital to please the Emperor.
Meng village was built against the water, so even this unparalleled embroidery needed to be transported by the water.
Half a month after boarding the ship, the color of the embroidery began to fall off, perhaps because it was wet!
