068: Eliminate falsehoods and preserve the spirit of true words [asking for monthly votes]
Ignoring the fact that there was Mr. Gu beside him, Shen Tang hurriedly asked the dancer: "Coffin? What coffin? When did it happen?"
The dancer was so frightened that she held her head and shook like chaff.
Mr. Gu looked at Shen Tang with a faint look, and asked the doubts in his heart: "You don't know what happened to yourself?"
Shen Tang responded angrily: "My home was stolen."
"Stealing a house? What do you mean by that?" Mr. Gu didn't get angry when she said her harsh words. Instead, he humbly asked for advice. This reaction was very incredible to people who were familiar with Mr. Gu.
"I've lost my memory!"
Shen Tang's confession was unexpected.
Seeing Mr. Gu's eyes slightly widened in shock, she laughed to herself: "I'm surprised and shocked, right? I forgot everything before the marriage! Even the identity of 'brother-in-law' mentioned by Gong Yunchi was given by him on his own initiative. I, I just accepted it as it was."
Mr. Gu was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect it to be like this.
After a long while, he asked: "But - why?"
Shen Tang said: "Why? You want to ask me why I assumed my identity? No why! I just don't want to cause trouble for myself. You are so smart! Besides, how do I know whether my identity is true or false? Maybe I am really his wife Where is my brother?"
Mr. Gu pursed his lips and fell into deep thought.
At first he thought he had solved the mystery and seen the truth, but as the dancer revealed the secret, things became more complicated.
The eldest wife of the Shen family disappeared. Judging from Gong Cheng's reaction, he and Mrs. Gong were completely unaware of the matter, let alone that the bride had changed.
The Shen Lang in front of him has lost his memory - let's just believe his story - then what was Shen Lang's previous identity?
Why was she so similar to the eldest lady of the Shen family that she was used by the Shen family as a substitute for the eldest lady of the Shen family and married into the Gong family?
Could it be that he is really the son of the Shen family living abroad? After all, it is not groundless for a noble family to have a glamorous appearance but a dirty inside.
However, if the two tribes did not encounter the Yi tribe and were exiled but got married successfully, wouldn't the bride's identity be discovered? This is not a marriage at all, but a feud! This is not a market story about substitute marriage. The story was written by accident. , reality can really never stop.
In an instant, Mr. Gu had countless thoughts.
Shen Tang had a bigger headache than him.
She doesn't mind eating melons, nor does she mind eating melons on herself, but she doesn't understand if she minds eating melons on herself.
People tend to get angry and lose control easily when they are irritable. She lost all her patience and directly threatened the dancer with violence, trying to use force to calm her down and answer her questions, but of course it didn't work. At this time, Mr. Gu patted her on the shoulder and said: "Let me get down."
Shen Tang: "What can you ask?"
Mr. Gu said: "I have a method."
Yanling is a good thing.
In the two hundred years of troubled times, there have long been ruthless officials who specialize in torturing people and extracting the truth from their mouths.
Unfortunately, he does.
In addition, his unpleasant "scribes' way" is to some extent born for this profession. No one can lie in front of him - except Shen Lang next to him. This is the first time he has encountered To the point where you don’t need to use words and spirits, just control your mind to prevent prying eyes.
This undoubtedly requires strong self-control ability.
Shen Tang gave up the stage: "Okay, you come."
Mr. Gu pinched the dancer's chin with two fingers.
The seemingly skinny hands are extremely powerful, and no matter how hard the latter struggles, they can't break free. They also leave obvious fingerprints, forcing the other party to look at her: "With balance in hand, a bright mirror can be used to destroy evil and support righteousness." , you can eliminate the false and preserve the true.”
To simplify it, it means [removing the false and retaining the true].
Shen Tang frowned.
She had also seen this word spirit from Qi Shan, but the effect was to tear apart the confusion set up by the enemy's formation and see the enemy's movements more clearly. This Mr. Gu also used it, but the effect was to ask questions.
Sure enough, the same Yanling has different opinions and ways of use in different people's hands, and the effects are naturally different.
The spirit of speech was activated, and Mr. Gu asked with confidence.
"When did the coffin arrive?"
The dancer's face was expressionless: "Half a month before the wedding."
"Mr. Shen is the heir of the Shen family outside?"
Wu Ling was stunned and said confusedly: "I don't know."
Not sure means not sure.
"Do you know the origin of the coffin?"
Of course the dancer doesn't know.
She recounted "I heard from the servant at the corner gate in the backyard that a very strange coffin was delivered one night."
Mr. Gu was patient: "Who sent it?"
The dancer said: "Second Master Shen."
Mr. Gu asked again who Mr. Shen was.
The Second Master Shen is the brother of the eldest wife of the Shen family's father. Unlike Uncle Shen who is an official in the officialdom, the Second Master Shen is a romantic celebrity who is obsessed with collecting antiques. He has nothing to do every day, chatting and having fun with people, drinking wine in the water, make a sightseeing tour……
His words and spirits are played ten or nine times.
Shen Tang actually doesn't have much obsession with the origin of the original body, but part of the truth revealed by the dancer is really permeable - the original body was lying in a coffin and was sent to the Shen Mansion overnight by Mr. Shen, who loves antiques and antiques. It was still a strange coffin. , no matter how weird you think.
Mr. Gu ate the melon seriously and murmured: "Is it possible that Mr. Shen is actually Mr. Shen's lost treasure? He has been raising him outside. He brought him back because of something wrong with his health, and he happened to contradict Mr. Shen. The wife is missing and she has been married off?"
Shen Tang: "Mr. Gu likes to read market stories?"
I know the bloody routine quite clearly.
Mr. Gu was strangely silent for three breaths.
Shen Tang: "The Shen family is dead, and the people who knew about it are gone. This dancer is just a dowry, how much truth can she know?"
It's probably not a personal service either.
Otherwise, it would be impossible not to know whether she is a boy or a girl.
Furthermore, how can a maid who is really a personal servant know how to dance on a flower drum? Even if she learns and sells her now, it is too late.
Maybe she was originally a dancer raised by the Shen family.
Thinking of this, Shen Tang's brows trembled suddenly.
Caught something.
She asked: "Are you personally serving Mrs. Shen?"
The dancer shook her head: "No."
Shen Tang said: "Tell me about your experience."
The dancer told the truth.
She was a low-level dancer and was sold at a very young age. Before entering the Shen Mansion, she was used by the foreman to please a wealthy fellow villager and was used as a concubine. Unexpectedly, she had a son and a daughter. She was discovered and sold by the family's eldest wife. She was also sold by a kind-hearted man. The eldest lady of the Shen family bought it and stayed in the room to serve her. She occasionally performed dances and music for the nobles in the house and received rewards.
It's just that her status is not high and she's too old. It's said that the maid is too old and the nanny is too young, so she has been rejected by other maids.
It is said that they are serving in the room, but they are just cleaning.
The tasks of bringing tea and water to Mrs. Shen's dressing up were not her turn at all. They were all done by the maids who had served her since childhood.
"Those maids who serve personally are also accompanying the bride?"
The dancer's answer was within Shen Tang's expectation.
She said: "No."
The maids who accompany the bride are all improvised.
The personal maid was beaten to death for failing to serve her well.
Shen Tang sneered: "This reason is a lie."
Mrs. Shen's disappearance was premeditated, and she took her usual personal maid with her before disappearing.
The dancer shook her head: "I'm not lying, I was really beaten to death."
