Liaozhai: A scholar should draw a sword

Chapter 55
Soon after, Cui Shi was brought into the house.

"The daughter of the people kowtowed to the lord..."

This woman was born with a pair of watery peach blossom eyes, a graceful figure, and an outstanding demeanor, so it's no wonder Tian Jun was tempted.

Time was running out, Lu Zhengwen didn't want to waste time, so he cut straight to the point and asked:
"Mr. Cui, I am asking you, you have to answer honestly, do you have an affair with Tian Jun?"

"what?"

Cui apparently did not expect such a question, and her face paled on the spot.

This frightened and flustered expression already speaks for itself.

"Bold Mrs. Cui, you still haven't recruited the truth!"

"My lord, the daughter of the people... the daughter of the people was wronged..."

How could Mrs. Cui confess easily?Can't help but start to cry.

"Mr. Cui, don't force me to give you severe punishment. You might as well tell you the truth, I have already got the real evidence, even if you quibble, it's useless, I will still convict you!"

At this time, Zhou Yu couldn't help but said: "Mr. Cui, if you're smart, you'd better confess quickly to avoid the pain of flesh and blood."

After what he said, Cui's psychological defense finally collapsed, covering his face and crying bitterly.

After crying for a while, I finally started to confess...

"My lord, Minnv confessed, Minnv did have secret contacts with Tian Jun, but Minnv really never harmed Mrs...."

Lu Zhengwen couldn't help snorting coldly: "Since you have an affair with Tian Jun, what can't you do? If you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for the punishment."

"My lord, the daughter of the people was wronged, let's listen to the daughter of the people..."

After she said it, Zhou Yu knew that there were many twists and turns in it.

It turned out that she knew Tian Jun before she got married, and they had a romantic relationship.

Later, after she married into that big family as a concubine, the two never saw each other again.

Maybe it's because the fate of the two is still unfinished, and by coincidence, the family committed some crimes, and all the wives and concubines fell apart with the servants.

Coincidentally, Cui was brought back to the troupe by Lu Ershui, and the two met again.

It's just a trick of good fortune. At this time, Cui's identity has become a teacher's wife, so Tian Jun didn't dare to mess around.

Until one day, when Lu Ershui went back to his hometown and delayed for a few days, Tian Jun came to Cui's room to chat with her by mistake.

The two had a bad relationship, and Lu Ershui's health was wrong, and Cui was like a widow, so the two of them inevitably rekindled their old relationship, and it was a matter of course...

It's a pity that paper can't hold fire.

No matter how careful the two were, Lu Ershui finally noticed something, and angrily called Tian Jun and Cui Shi together to question them face to face.

In desperation, Tian Jun could only explain the past with Cui to his master.

He also apologized to the master, saying that he was sorry for the master, and that he was ashamed to stay in the troupe any longer.

Lu Ershui was very angry at first, but when he heard that Tian Jun was leaving the troupe, he couldn't help it.

First of all, Tian Jun has been with him for many years, and after all, he has a teacher-student relationship.

Secondly, he could tell that Tian Jun and Cui Shi did not lie, they had indeed known each other for a long time.

The most important thing is the third point, Tian Jun is the pillar of the theater troupe, once he leaves, the theater troupe will inevitably collapse.

But the other disciples didn't live up to their expectations, and none of them could stand up to the stage.

"Later, Ershui said that he could forgive Minnv and Tian Jun, and he could help us both.

But two conditions were put forward, one is to let the women give birth to him a boy and a half girl..."

Hearing this, Lu Zhengwen couldn't help but said in surprise: "Didn't you say that Team Master Lu had a physical problem?"

"This……"

Cui Shi's face turned red with embarrassment.

At this moment, Lu Zhengwen finally came back to his senses, and coughed dryly: "Well, you continue to talk."

"The second condition is to let Tian Jun try his best to cultivate a pillar who can succeed him, and then let the two of us go far away..."

"Then, the officer will ask you again, since you said that Master Lu acquiesced to the two of you being together, why did you get so angry and slap you both face to face?"

When mentioning this, Cui hesitated for a while, then shook her head and smiled wryly: "It's a long story...

One day, Ah Chi, Ershui's young disciple, accidentally discovered the affair between Minnv and Tian Jun.

This kid didn't expose it face to face, but ran into the women's room to threaten the women when no one was around..."

"Threatening you?"

Zhou Yu couldn't help being surprised.

Because this statement is quite different from what Ah Chi said.

"Yes, Minnv originally wanted to calm things down, and didn't want to make the trouble known to everyone in the troupe, so she took some money to seal his mouth.

Who would have thought that after accepting the money, this kid actually... actually hugged the girl tightly, saying that he would dream of..."

When she said this, Cui's face flushed, as if she was ashamed and angry.

"Ok?"

Lu Zhengwen frowned, and looked at Zhou Yu.

It seems that there is a lot of mystery in this case, and the relationship is getting more and more complicated.

"What about after that?" Lu Zhengwen asked.

"The daughter of the people refused to obey, and yelled at her sharply. The boy was afraid that people would hear him, so he finally let go...

Later, the girl thought about it, but she still couldn't help telling Ershui the truth, because I was afraid that the kid would mess around again someday.

Unexpectedly, Ershui scolded Minnv instead, saying Minnv...in short, it was some unpleasant words.

Minnv can also understand this.Although he said that he acquiesced in the matter between Minnv and Tian Jun, he must still be unhappy...

On the day of the quarrel, it was actually Tian Jun who quarreled with his junior brother first.

Er Shui walked over and scolded Tian Jun indiscriminately, Tian Jun was not convinced and argued a few words...

My lord, the whole thing happened like this, Minnv was really wronged, even if Minnv was at fault, she would never do anything to murder her husband, I hope you will learn from me. "

Lu Zhengwen waved his hand: "Okay, take Cui Shi down first, and bring Tian Jun in..."

When Tian Jun came in and asked, what he confessed was not contradictory to what Cui Shi confessed, and almost matched.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the rhetoric prepared by the two in advance.

After Tian Jun withdrew, Lu Zhengwen turned his head and asked, "Master Zhou, do you think what Cui Shi and Tian Jun said is true?"

Zhou Yu pondered for a moment: "According to my observation, the two of them should not have lied."

"That's weird... If the two of them didn't lie, it means Ah Chi was the one who lied.

But why did he write a secret letter to complain for Master?Wouldn't that be putting yourself in it? "

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "My lord, there have been many cases of thieves calling themselves thieves since ancient times, because this way it is not easy to arouse others' suspicion."

"It makes sense~"

"How about this, my lord secretly sends someone to find out about this Ah Chi, to see who he is dating on weekdays, and whether he has behaved unusually lately."

"No, Mr. Lu has no time. Brother Duan will leave tomorrow. Mr. Lu cannot leave such an unsolved case."

"Then Master Lu means..."

"I have no choice but to extract a confession by torture."

In the end, I never expected that Ah Chi was too careless. He screamed like a pig in pain at the beginning of his execution, tears and snot mixed together, and said that he wanted to tell the truth...
