Liaozhai: A scholar should draw a sword

Chapter 54 The case is complicated and confusing
Hearing this, Master Dong couldn't help but frowned, glanced at Lu Zhengwen and said:

"My lord, could it be that Tian Jun was unwilling to sneak around with Mrs. Cui, and wanted to last forever, so..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Zhengwen waved his hand: "Don't jump to conclusions, just listen to Ah Chi's speech.

Chi, you continue to talk..."

"Yes, my lord!"

Ah Chi responded, and continued to talk about the strange things about the troupe...

That night, Ah Chi drank a little too much water, and in the middle of the night he was woken up by urinating, so he got up and went to the latrine.

When passing the door of Master's room, I heard a few laughs faintly from the room.

At that time, Ah Chi was in a daze without thinking too much, and went straight to the hut.

After urinating, he suddenly shuddered... because he remembered, Master wasn't in the troupe tonight, so who was in that room?
Could it be that the teacher's wife can't talk in her sleep?
With doubts in his heart, he quietly went to the window to eavesdrop for a while, but in the end...he heard the senior brother speaking.

Ah Chi's brain became hot at the moment, and he almost couldn't help but want to rush in to catch him.

But then I thought about it again, once such a scandal breaks out, what face will the master have?

So, he suppressed his anger and left quietly.

In the afternoon of the next day, Ah Chi found an opportunity to call Master to a side room, and told the truth about it.

He originally thought that the master would be furious, but he never expected that the master was just stunned, and then he sighed: "I didn't expect you to find out..."

Ah Chi was taken aback: "Master, do you mean that you already knew?"

"That's right!"

"Ah? Master, since you already knew about it, why did you allow them to be together?"

Lu Ershui was silent for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Otherwise, what can we do? The matter has come to this point, I am not afraid to tell you as a teacher, in fact, something is wrong with my body..."

Although what the master said was cryptic, Ah Chi still understood the meaning of the master, and said anxiously: "Even if this is the case, you can't pretend you don't know, master."

"Ah Chi, my teacher understands your anger, but my teacher is actually more angry than you.

It's just that you have little experience and don't understand the world.When people are alive, they must always know how to choose.

Although the teacher is the head of the class, he is too old to be on stage.And your elder brother is the pillar of the troupe, and most of the troupe listen to him.

Think about it, what is the benefit of tearing your face apart as a teacher?
Firstly, this old face can't be preserved, which makes people laugh, secondly, once the face is torn apart, your elder brother will definitely leave the theater troupe and start his own family.

As soon as he leaves, at least half of the people will be taken away, and then the Lu family troupe will exist in name only..."

Hearing these words, Ah Chi felt extremely uncomfortable, and asked the master through tears: "Then what does the master mean, in order to keep the theater troupe, you would rather suffer for the rest of your life?"

Lu Ershui patted Ah Chi on the shoulder: "If you stand up for yourself and surpass your senior brother's achievements alone, then you don't have to be so arrogant as a teacher."

"Okay, master, I promise you that from now on, I will practice the basic skills hard and become a pillar."

But what Ah Chi didn't expect was that before he became a pillar, a conflict broke out between the master and the elder brother.

"Not long ago, for some unknown reason, Master had an argument with Senior Brother in public, and the quarrel was so intense that Master even slapped Senior Brother hard across the face.

The teacher stepped forward to persuade her, but she was also slapped by the teacher who raised his hand and called her a bitch.

If you don't believe me, you can ask the people in the troupe for questioning. Almost all the people in the troupe were there at that time, and no one can persuade you...

Less than half a month had passed, and the master suddenly died strangely and violently.

So the villain thinks that this is by no means a coincidence, it is likely that the master can't bear it anymore and wants to show his cards.

Once things break out, it will definitely be detrimental to the senior brother's reputation, so the villain guesses that the senior brother must have murdered.

Because once the master is gone, he can take over the theatrical troupe, and even be with the teacher's wife in a fair and bright way..."

This bizarre experience is finally over.

Lu Zhengwen couldn't help but glanced at Zhou Yu and asked, "Master Zhou, what do you mean?"

Zhou Yu pondered for a while, nodded and said, "If that's the case, then Tian Jun and Cui Shi are indeed very suspicious."

"Then how about Master Zhou..."

Lu Zhengwen wanted to say that he would go to the Yamen for an autopsy, but Zhou Yu interrupted in time: "Master Lu, this case is indeed a bit strange, it's better to go to the troupe to investigate."

"Well, Master Zhou is right."

At this time, Zhou Yu said to Ah Chi again: "Okay, you go back to the troupe first, remember, you must not show your face, so as not to startle the snake."

"Yes, the villain is leaving first."

After Ah Chi left, Zhou Yu said to Lu Zhengwen: "Master Lu, according to my observation, what this Ah Chi said may be true, but not necessarily true.

In short, this case is a bit confusing, don't be preconceived, you need to understand the situation from multiple parties before drawing a conclusion. "

"Master Zhou is justified, and Lu is taught."

"Hehe, Mr. Lu is very polite... let's go, hurry up and go to the yamen to check the corpse first."

"Master Zhou, please!"

"Master Lu, please!"

After arriving at the house of the county government, Zhou Yu inspected it, but the conclusion he came to was quite different from what Wu Zuo said.

"Lord Lu, Zhou can affirm that these three people were definitely not killed by ghosts and goblins.

The cause of death of one of them was indeed frightened to death, but generally speaking, someone was pretending to be a ghost.

In itself, the place where the platform was broken was in the mass grave, so it also brought great convenience to the other party, and it was easy for the three bosses Lu to believe that they had really encountered an evil spirit. "

Hearing these words, Lu Zhengwen couldn't help being surprised: "I don't know how Master Zhou judged?"

"Hehe, it's hard to explain this to Mr. Lu. Anyway, if it's a ghost, Zhou will definitely be able to see it."

Lu Zhengwen couldn't help admiring, cupped his hands and said: "It seems that Master Zhou has stepped into the mysterious realm of detachment, and Lu is really far behind."

"Lord Lu, don't underestimate yourself, I just read a few Taoist scriptures in my free time..."

"Then master Zhou thinks what should be the next step?"

Zhou Yu thought for a while and said, "Why don't we call everyone in the Lu family troupe together and ask questions one by one.

Ask other people first, and then ask Natian Jun and Cui Shi. "

"Well, that makes sense..."

Ever since, Lu Zhengwen asked the troupe one by one to come into the room for questioning.

The result proved that what Ah Chi said was true,

Half a month ago, Lu Ershui did have a fierce conflict with his big apprentice Tian Jun, and also slapped Cui Shi, calling her a bitch and so on.

In addition, there was a handyman in the troupe who hesitantly said that he accidentally found Tian Jun and Cui Shi hugging each other at dusk one day...

After so many people's narration, it can basically be confirmed that there is definitely an unclear relationship between Tian Jun and Cui Shi.

Then, it's time to confront the two of them head-on.
