Chapter 20 Story
"The prison is ghastly and terrifying. Chongjiu was sentenced to death and will only be executed after Qiuhou. He was terrified in his heart. His parents died early, and his three older brothers died on the battlefield. Now he is the only one left guarding the old age." The seventy-year-old grandmother lives with two young nieces, and if he dies, the family will be broken up."

Gu Xiang worked part-time in the editorial department in college, which was considered a part-time work-study program. He also wrote online novels for two years. His grades were not very good, but his ability to tell stories was honed.

She used to be able to tell stories and fix the bear brothers and sisters of a friend's house firmly on the sofa for a whole day. With this ability, she has a very good reputation among classmates and friends.

Now it is used to coax children like Xiao Osmanthus, and the effect is ten times and a hundred times better than coaxing those bear children.

Xiao Osmanthus was expressionless at first, with dull eyes, but as Gu Xiang's story progressed, her big eyes couldn't help but follow her around.

There are no comic books or cartoons in this season, where have the teenagers heard such a story?

A secret room, a murder, an innocent person becomes a murderer and is sent to prison, can he get away with being cleared of suspicion?Or escape death by accident?Or unfortunately died at the age of 16 years old as a scapegoat?

Xiao Osmanthus was staring at Gu Xiang eagerly at this time, obviously wanting to know the continuation of the story, her body naturally relaxed, her expression became more lively, and the sorrow and boredom of many days seemed to dissipate.

There was a slight smile in Gu Xiang's eyes.

"Sitting in the gloomy prison cell, Chongjiu couldn't help crying with his head in his arms. His face was full of snot from crying, and he was crying when he heard a sigh not far behind him. He was startled, and only then did he find the prison cell. There's still a person lying there."

"This man is completely different from him. His skin is fair and delicate, his hair is black and shiny, his eyes are shining like stars, he is wearing a scarlet brocade robe, with a goldfish bag on his waist, and a jade wrench of suet white jade on his finger. The eerie setting was out of proportion."

"His name is Zhao Yuchen. He is a son of the clan. He has an eccentric temperament. He is an official in Dali Temple, but he has no business. He wanders around the market all day long, occupying the prison cell of the Kaifeng Mansion as his own living quarters."

"..."

"'Don't cry, crying makes me have a headache.' Zhao Yuchen looked at Chong Jiu, got up from the ground, yawned, and muttered to himself, 'Well, such an important thing was lost in the palace a few days ago. It must be handed over to Zhang Ping. The rookie surnamed Zhang has no other means except to send the pickpockets and thieves on the ground in the capital to the prison. Hey, now even my place is crowded and annoying. .'"

"..."

"Zhao Yuchen glanced at the deceased, and casually said: "The deceased was stabbed in the left chest with a knife in the front and died. There was no defensive injury at all. It was obvious that he was killed by one blow. The deceased Li Hong was a strong man. He was a man of middle age. Gao? With the appearance of this handful of bones, you say he is a murderer, are your heads flooded?'”

"A group of yamen servants bowed their heads and said yes again and again, flattering Mr. Zhao. Words such as "Mr. Zhao is wise, martial, and intelligent" were thrown in front of Zhao Yuchen. Zhao Yuchen sat in the lobby of the government office. On the ground, with an indifferent expression, with a proud and proud demeanor, he said coldly: "Okay, take off the shackles for the boy and let him go.'"

"The yamen servants came over to remove the shackles for Chong Jiu, but Chong Jiu hesitated to leave. He looked at Zhao Yuchen in embarrassment, his lips twitched for a while, and his face was full of confusion."

"Zhao Yuchen was a little impatient, 'You don't have to thank me, I just don't want you to block my eyes in the prison...' Before he finished speaking, Chongjiu sighed, 'I am a disciple of Shaolin laymen. Like Mr. Li, I can hit ten with one hand... woo, woo, am I going to be beheaded?'"

"Zhao Yuchen was stunned, silently raised his hand to cover his face, and sighed: 'I said earlier that martial arts is the most unreasonable and annoying thing!'"

"Pfft!"

Xiao osmanthus laughed all of a sudden.

When Gu Xiang told the story, his face was serious, but his tone changed at any time. He told the joke about the aloof Zhao Yuchen who was accidentally slapped in the face in a very funny way, which made the audience laugh. Dazed, he touched the corner of his lips blankly.

Under the moonlight, more and more children gathered around Gu Xiang, including the young soldier Xiao Guihua on the river, the old dog's younger brother Wang Ermu, and other young boys.

Gu Xiang insisted on telling stories for half an hour every day.

Zhao Yuchen has excellent observation skills and brains, and likes to solve puzzles the most. Although Chongjiu gave him shame when he first met, he still passed the public trial of Chongjiu. Go to the scene of the crime and frame him as the murderer.

The murderer is the thief in Wuyou Cave. He is highly skilled and has a group of thieves under his command. When teaching his subordinates, Chongjiu bumped into him by accident. Chongjiu took pity on those children and beat him up. , This is how Chong Jiu was framed as the murderer.

"This thief, Mao, is really hateful, damn it."

"Chongjiu is naive enough to believe in everything!"

But this thief is not the murderer, he just ran into the scene of Mr. Li's death, and he has the ability to pick the door and lock, so he can easily recover the secret room.With evil thoughts in his heart, he framed Chong Jiu in a convenient way.

After careful investigation by Zhao Yuchen, he finally found out the truth—Mr. Li committed suicide and pretended to be homicide!

He pretended to commit suicide, intending to frame his cheating wife's concubine, but the culprit stole the criminal evidence he had prepared, a beautiful fan pendant, and the case was full of twists and turns...

When this section of "Kaifeng Detective Handbook" is mentioned, the audience has spread from a few children to all the soldiers on the river.

If it is those very in-depth texts, these soldiers will probably only be in awe, and it is impossible to be interested.But Gu Xiang's story is in the vernacular, everyone can understand it, and the whole story is full of twists and turns, full of foreshadowing, where did the soldiers see such a story?It's just too much to listen to.

Every day, I don’t gobble up my meals and go away. I naturally sit around Gu Xiang after meals, drink the mung bean soup or barley tea that Gu Xiang specially cooked, and follow the stories in the story. The characters go through a strange adventure.

Gu Xiang almost became the most popular person on the river.

But as she thought, on this river, her food spots more than tripled.

But what made her happiest was not the gourmet food, but that she seemed to have really done something, something good.

"I should do something for them!" Gu Xiang said to himself the first moment he saw these children.

Although she didn't even know where the desperation and pain in the eyes of these boys and soldiers came from.

But she really felt that since she came, she happened to have such a pair of eyes to see the pain of these "food and clothing parents", whether it was useful or not, she should at least do something.
