Li Xia frowned slightly, then wrote the next word smoothly.

In that case, Zhao Huiqing's name never appeared from beginning to end. She had wondered at the time why this parent was alive as if he were dead. Later, she asked someone to inquire and found out...

"The people living in Xikou Town now are Zhao Huiqing's stepwife Meng, Meng's daughter Zhao Erjieer, Zhao Huiqing's eldest son Zhao Honggui from his ex-wife, and Zhao Honggui's daughter-in-law Zheng. Zhao Huiqing's ex-wife is still alive

I have a daughter, Sister Zhao, who is two years older than Zhao Honggui, and she married in Qiaotou Town, Yanguan County."

Li Xia lowered her head and traced the words, she knew all this.

"Zhao Huiqing's ex-wife, Sun, is a close relative of the Zhao family. I heard that the dowry was very generous. When she got married, she was quite excited. I heard from people in the town that Zhao Honggui has a weak temper and has been studying since he was a child. According to his neighbors, he is good at studying.

It's a bit silly. When Sister Zhao got married, she took away almost all of her mother Sun's dowry.

After Zhao Honggui's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zheng, got married, it was said that she had a huge quarrel with her eldest sister when she returned to her parents' home because of this incident. Many neighbors went to try to persuade her to have a fight. It had been three years since Mrs. Zheng's marriage.

We have been quarreling every year, and on the second day of the Lunar New Year last year, Sister Zhao did not return to her parents' home."

Li Xia's pen stopped, but he didn't raise his head. For a moment, he put down his pen and continued writing.

At that time, she felt strange that this case of killing his wife and abusing his daughter-in-law had lasted for more than a month, and Zhao Honggui had been in jail for more than 20 days. Why did this powerful elder sister not show up at this time...

"Zhao Huiqing's step-wife Meng is said to be getting along very well with Sister Zhao. Meng's biological daughter Zhao Erjie often stays at Sister Zhao's house for ten days and a half. Meng and her daughter-in-law Zheng heard from their neighbors

Say, there's nothing wrong with that.

The Meng family was far less well off than the Zhao family. There was an old lady who was sick all year round, and all the money for soup and medicine depended on the Meng family.

The Zheng family is a loyal family of farmers and students. Their grandparents have been commended by the county for taking care of the orphans and widows in the family all year round. There is a plaque on the door of the house that reads "Loyal Family" written by the county magistrate.

It has been almost three years since Mrs. Zheng married into the Zhao family, but she has never had a child. Because of this, Mrs. Zheng went everywhere to beg for a son, all the way to the Five Temples outside Xikou Town."

Li Xia raised his head and looked at Guo Sheng. Guo Sheng met her gaze and couldn't help but show a bright smile. Sure enough, this was what the girl asked him to check.

Li Xia looked away, lowered his eyes, and looked at the shadow calligraphy book. His heart was filled with all kinds of thoughts, and it was so complicated that he couldn't write this word anymore.

The Five Gods Obscenity Case was a case that she came across when she accompanied the Queen Mother to copy scriptures and secret documents in her mansion.

The Five Gods' Obscene Sacrifice first started in Yanguan County. The principal offenders, Cao Xing and Cao Wang, were two brothers. Because his family was extremely poor and did not have enough to eat, when Cao Xing was six years old, he ran to the temple and became a monk.

, moved to Ning'an Temple, and became a guest monk of Ning'an Temple at the age of twenty-six or seven. Three years later, he was expelled from Ning'an Temple because he had violated the precept of not holding money.

After Cao Xing left Ning'an Temple, he went around swindling and deceiving people. I don't know when he started to gain a reputation for having great magical powers. He was known as Master Cao. Master Cao's greatest magical power was that he was particularly effective in praying for children.

Soon, Grand Master Cao got through to the Heavenly Eye, became a divine envoy, and summoned his younger brother Cao Wang to become Master Cao. Half a year later, he recruited his cousin Yang Kan who had defected to him, and Yang Kan brought his cousin Yang.

Lian, Yang Lian brought his brother Chen An, from the Archmage to the Five Mages, to gather together the Five Gods.

By the time of the incident, the Five Gods Sect had built more than a dozen Five Gods temples in Yanguan County and other nearby counties, and had made countless money.

The Wushen Cult case began with the violent death of a pregnant woman in Fuyang County.

The day after Yang, the daughter-in-law of the Yao family, a wealthy family in Fuyang County, gave birth to her son, mother and son died violently.

Yang's mother stayed outside the delivery room the day before and waited until her daughter gave birth safely. It took another half a day before she returned. When she woke up, she heard that her daughter and her newborn grandson had died violently. She refused to believe that her daughter and grandson died of illness.

, coincidentally, my son-in-law Yao Da was infatuated with a female prostitute and was making a fuss about taking her home.

The Yang family believed that their daughter and grandson were killed by Yao Da, and filed a lawsuit against the Yao family to the Yamen.

When the Fuyang County Magistrate was halfway through the trial, he was almost frightened to death and sent all the prisoners and the files to the Xiansi Yamen of Hangzhou City overnight.

Kensi read the file and secretly reported it to the court.

Yao Yang's death was indeed at the hands of the Yao family, because the baby boy Yang gave birth to looked very much like the mage Chen An in the newly built Five Temples outside Fuyang City. When Yang saw the child, she collapsed and said everything

Yes, the so-called seeking a child means being raped by a mage.

This case was kept secret from the beginning to the end, and the Queen Mother specially explained the case to her.

The five gods are extremely effective in seeking children. There is only one way to send a child. The five gods have been rampant in several neighboring counties for six or seven years. During these six or seven years, there have been countless people seeking children and countless people getting children.

, if this case were to be made public, I don’t know how many people would die in the counties where the Five Temples were built, as well as those in neighboring counties who went to ask for a son...

The Queen Mother said that Cao Xing and the other five people were all beheaded alive on her orders.

In the second year after she became the Queen Mother, she found an excuse to arrest and kill the abbot and others who had expelled Cao Xing from Ning'an Temple on the pretext of breaking the precept of not holding money, and razed Ning'an Temple to the ground.

"How many of the five temples have been built?" Li Xia closed her eyes. The case of the Five Gods' Obscenity occurred in the year she entered the palace. She did not expect that it would start so early!

"It is said that there are three, one each in Xikou Town, Sanyang Town and Qiaodong Town in Yanguan County." Guo Sheng's eyes burned and he added, "This is what the old lady said, we need to check it carefully.

Only then can we be sure.”

"Go on." Li Xia put down her pen. She really couldn't write any more words.

"Yes." Guo Sheng was full of energy, "Mr. Zheng has been begging for a child in the Five Temples for a year or two, but she has never had a child. Probably because every time she went to beg for a child, Zhao Da accompanied her.

, we knelt down to beg and went together, but the mage failed to succeed.

After leaving the Five Temples, I went to Qiaotou Town.

Sister Zhao's mother-in-law's surname is Hu. Sister Zhao's son is married to the eldest son of Hu. The Hu family has more than 300 acres of land. There is also an oil shop and a grain store in the town. The family is well off. Hu is quick-thinking. In addition to farming,

They also dug ponds to raise fish and shrimps, planted mulberry trees and raised silkworms, and the family business was very prosperous.

There are three Hu brothers. The second one is at home and follows the elder to take care of mulberry and fish farming. The third Hu family brother is smart since he was a child. He is married to Mrs. Wang, the daughter of Wang Dakui, the head of the Yamen yamen in Hangzhou.
