Chapter 53 Scholars

"Bang".

Zhang Wending pushed open the wooden door.

His face was full of anxiety, and he quickly walked in and shouted in a hurry: "Madam, Madam."

"My husband, what's wrong with you?"

A weak woman's voice sounded inside the house.

Zhang Wending came to the house, in the dimly lit room, a beautiful woman with a pale face and a weak look lying on the bed.

"Madam, as long as you're fine."

Zhang Wending hurried forward, held his wife's hand tightly, and felt a little relieved.

"My husband, what happened?"

The wife was as careful as her hair, and immediately discovered her husband's abnormality.

Zhang Wending was a little hesitant.

What happened in the past two days made him feel like a dream.

Originally, Zhang Wending was a scholar and was hired as a teacher in a private school. Later, he married a virtuous and beautiful wife. The two gave birth to a son and a daughter, and their lives were quite happy.

However, two years ago, my wife suffered from a strange disease and needed medicine to treat her every day.

After two years, my family was almost hollowed out and even had a lot of debt.

In order to take care of his wife, Zhang Wending even quit his job in a private school, making life at home even more difficult.

But if the medicine is not taken, the wife will be in great pain and will gradually be tortured to death by the illness.

Zhang Wending loved his wife very much, and he could not bear the wife's torture.

But without money, everything is in vain.

Just yesterday, Zhang Wending accidentally got a bronze mirror.

Relying on this bronze mirror, Zhang Wending dug out a box from the ground, which contained more than twenty taels of silver.

This was overjoyed for Zhang Wending.

So he hurriedly took the money to get medicine for his wife.

However, on the way home from scratch, Zhang Wending saw the notice posted by the government.

Evil thing!

That bronze mirror is actually an evil thing!

"By the way, the bronze mirror."

Zhang Wending hurriedly found the bronze mirror from under the bed.

The bronze mirror looks very delicate and beautiful, without any evil feeling.

But Zhang Wending knew clearly that once it was night, the bronze mirror would show "magic" and scenes would appear in the mirror.

It can even accurately find the silver buried underground.

Zhang Wending is a scholar, and his son does not speak of strange powers and insane spirits.

But the fact is right in front of him. In fact, he had a trace of suspicion in his heart, but his wife's illness required money, so he couldn't take care of that much.

"My husband, what is this? Where did such an exquisite bronze mirror come from?"

My wife glanced at the bronze mirror and looked at my husband's expression that was reluctant to speak. My wife said anxiously: "Mr., you shouldn't have been stealing in a wealthy family, right? If that's the case, I would rather die than drink medicine..."

Seeing his wife's angry and angry heart, her face turned paler.

Zhang Wending gritted his teeth and explained: "My wife, I am a scholar, how could I steal? This bronze mirror was accidentally obtained. It...it is an evil thing..."

So, Zhang Wending did not hide it, and told him about the process of obtaining the bronze mirror and the official notice he saw in the city today.

"My wife, that's how it is. This bronze mirror may be really an evil thing, but it can guide me to the silver buried underground. We now need silver to buy medicine, and even ask famous doctors to treat you."

Zhang Wending's face turned red and his eyes were staring at the bronze mirror in his hand.

silver!

Everything is for money!

As long as you have money, you can get medicine and cure your wife's illness.

He did not allow his wife to have anything to do.

For his wife, he is willing to do anything.

However, his wife had already burst into tears, and even her hands were trembling.

The wife grabbed her husband's hand tightly and said in a trembling voice: "Honey, it's really hard for you in the past two years. But have you ever thought that this bronze mirror is an evil object, which can kill people. What should I do if you are killed by an evil object? What should we do with our children?"

"But if you don't have money, your illness will not be cured. Without you, what's the point of even if I'm alive?"

Zhang Wending hugged his wife tightly.

The two hugged each other and cried.

I once knew how many nights the idea of ​​suicide came to my mind.

She really wanted to commit suicide, no longer suffer from illness, and was even more reluctant to watch her husband running around for her.

However, she also knew very well that once she really committed suicide, her husband might not live alone.

That will make their children even more pitiful.

However, my wife was also satisfied.

She has such a husband who loves her and cares about her, which many women can't even dream of.

After a long time, my wife seemed to have made up her mind and said in a deep voice: "My husband, this evil thing must not be left behind. It has killed many people. We cannot let it continue to harm people. We should hand it over to the government. As for the money you mentioned, hasn't it already said in the government notice? As long as the evil thing is handed over, you can get a bounty of 100 taels of silver. With 100 taels of silver, maybe my illness will be cured."

Zhang Wending's mood slowly calmed down after his wife's words.

"Yes, the government has a bounty. This time, the government posted a notice with great fanfare, and it should not be deducted from the bounty. Maybe the bounty of this hundred taels of silver can be really obtained. Madam, you are right, this evil thing cannot continue to harm people."

Zhang Wending gradually made up his mind.

Of course, what really made him determined was the bounty from the government.

One hundred taels of silver, for Zhang Wending now, that is a life-saving silver!

In addition to the clues given by the bronze mirror last night, the more than 20 taels of silver dug out may be able to ask a famous doctor to cure his wife's illness.

Thinking of this, Zhang Wending immediately stood up, wrapped the bronze mirror with cloth, and stuffed it into his arms.

"Madam, please wait patiently. I will go to the government to hand over the evil things first, receive the bounty before coming back."

"My husband, don't worry, I and my children are waiting for you at home."

Zhang Wending glanced at his wife and two children again, and told them to take care of his wife.

Then, Zhang Wending resolutely turned around and left home and rushed towards the prefect's office.

...

"Swish".

Liu Yi opened his eyes.

Since controlling the foreign object, it has been difficult for Liu Yi to enter a deep sleep.

He closed his eyes, but in fact he was just closing his eyes to rest.

However, Liu Yi did not feel very tired mentally, but was energetic.

Therefore, Liu Yi heard the hurried footsteps outside the door early in the morning.

"Squeak".

Before the people outside knocked on the door, Liu Yi had already opened the door by himself.

Outside the door, Liu Yuan and Uncle Hui actually rushed over together.

Especially Liu Yuan, there was a hint of excitement on his face.

"Sir, your method has worked. Foreign objects...we have found foreign objects!"

"Well, have you found a foreign object?"

Liu Yi raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, someone sent foreign objects to the prefect's yamen early this morning. However, the prefect could not verify the authenticity of foreign objects, so he sent foreign objects and those who handed over foreign objects to the Yiren Office. Now he is waiting in the hall of the yamen."

Liu Yi nodded and said directly without hesitation: "Go to the hall."
