Liaozhai: A scholar should draw a sword

Chapter 56
After Ah Chi confessed, the truth finally began to surface.

This guy really told a big lie.

I don't know when Ah Chi became obsessed with gambling. At first, he played a little bit, but it didn't hurt his health.

Not long ago, I met a pretty widow. Under the instigation of the widow, I gambled bigger and bigger, but in the end I lost more and more.

The more you lose, the more you want to win back.

Through the widow's introduction, Ah Chi successively borrowed several sums of money to gamble, but ended up losing all his money.

Rolling interest, rolled to 200 taels.

The other party kept pressing for debts, and said that if he didn't pay back the money, his hands would be crippled.

Just when the situation was at an end, Ah Chi accidentally discovered the secret between the elder brother and his wife, and couldn't help being overjoyed.

He quietly told his good friend Widow Wang about this matter, saying that he wanted to hit him hard.

Then they found an opportunity to rush to Cui's house for a showdown, not only asking for money, but also for people.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Cui scolded angrily, but in the end she only gave a little money, and there was no door for the important person...

"My lord, this is how things happened, and the villain dare not lie any more.

Even though the villain was wrong, he never dared to murder Master.

And after the villain learned of the tragic death of the master, he has been suspicious of the pair of dogs and men.

The villain can't just watch the two of them carefree, that's why I wrote that secret letter and handed it to the lord..."

"Okay, let's push it down first."

Lu Zhengwen waved his hands gloomyly.

At this point in the trial of the case, although many of the twists and turns and the truth have been clarified, the most critical step has still not been solved.

Who is the murderer?

"Huh? That widow Wang is very suspicious..."

Lu Zhengwen suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

But Zhou Yu sighed: "My lord, I have a premonition that Widow Wang is probably no longer alive, or there is no one to find."

"Come on, go to Widow Wang's house to check what's going on, and if you are there, you will be arrested and returned to the Yamen."

"Yes, my lord!"

At this time, Lu Zhengwen couldn't help but asked Zhou Yu again: "Master Zhou means that Widow Wang is likely to be silenced?"

"From the analysis of the other party's behavior style and methods, it is very possible."

"If that's the case, isn't the clue broken?"

Zhou Yu shook his head: "No matter how cunning a fox is, it will eventually leave clues.

Mr. Lu may wish to reason backwards, who wants to kill Banzhu Lu deliberately, and what benefits can he get? "

"This...it's hard to say...but Lu has a feeling that he shouldn't be a member of the troupe."

"Master Lu, can you listen to the next sentence?"

"Master Zhou, please tell me."

"As the saying goes, haste makes waste, Mr. Lu need not be so anxious to solve this case before the new magistrate takes office.

It's better to hand over the case to the new county magistrate, maybe something will be gained. "

Lu Zhengwen looked surprised: "Oh? This..."

Zhou Yu smiled: "I believe Master Lu doesn't care about such achievements, but as a new county magistrate, if he solves a strange case just after taking office, he will feel happy."

A word to awaken the dreamer.

Lu Zhengwen came back to his senses in an instant, and he couldn't help laughing: "Lu Mou understands, thank you Master Zhou for your guidance."

"Master Lu is polite. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

"Okay, Lu will definitely treat Master Zhou to a drink some other day..."

Not long after, the sent yamen servant returned to the county yamen to report, saying that Widow Wang had hanged herself, her body was already stiff, and she was afraid that she had died for a long time.

After returning home, Bai Min'er was explaining some cultivation experience to Ying Ning in the courtyard.

Seeing Zhou Yu coming back, they both came forward to meet him.

Ying Ning asked, "Sir, has the murderer been caught?"

Bai Min'er said thoughtfully, "Zi Ling, sit down quickly and try the sweet-scented osmanthus tea I made myself."

Zhou Yu happily sat down at the table, took a sip of tea, and then deliberately approached Bai Min'er: "Mmm, it smells good!"

"go~"

Bai Min'er shyly pushed Zhou Yu.

"Hee hee, Ying Ning is not here~" Ying Ning looked up at the sky, looking naturally dumbfounded.

It would be fine if she didn't say this, but when she said it, Bai Min'er couldn't help raising her hand and pinching her: "Damn girl, even you bullied me..."

Zhou Yu drank tea happily.

It was only after the two daughters quarreled for a while that they slowly talked about this strange case with twists and turns, which left the two daughters stunned.

After all, the two of them have very little experience in life, and it is inevitable that they will be a little surprised to hear such bizarre and tortuous stories.

"Who is the murderer?"

Bai Min'er couldn't help asking.

"If you exclude the fights within the troupe, then I speculate that the biggest possibility is the actions of the peers."

"Coming together?"

Zhou Yu nodded: "Yes! I know Mr. Lu quite well. He has the right and the right, and he is exquisite in all aspects. He can be called a standard old Jianghu.

He can endure what ordinary people cannot bear.

For the survival and prosperity of the troupe, he can even help Cui and his disciples.

How can a person like him easily attract enemies?Not to mention life and death.

So the biggest possibility is the jealousy and suppression from peers, after all, the big tree attracts the wind..."

Hearing these words, Bai Min'er couldn't help but sighed: "The morals of the world are really too sinister, I would rather deal with monsters and goblins.

At least, it is easy for me to tell the difference between the good and the evil of demons. "

Hearing this, Ying Ning couldn't help but giggled and said, "Yes, yes, just like Ying Ning, kindness is written on his face."

"Pfft~"

Bai Min'er was amused by the success.

Zhou Yu also smiled and said, "Min'er, what you just said is exactly the same as that of Hero Yan.

He said that the human world is too complicated, and it is difficult to distinguish right from wrong, but living with ghosts and spirits makes black and white clear, and the distinction between good and evil is clear. "

"Oh? If I have a chance, I'd like to get to know this hero Yan."

into the night.

As usual, Zhou Yu first went to the library to study, and after he finished practicing calligraphy and painting... the most important thing is to persevere.

Mo Chou did not appear in the painting.

Because she has entered the state of cultivation now, it is estimated that she will have to retreat for a while.

There was a melodious and melodious piano sound in the courtyard.

Zhou Yu stepped out of the study room, walked lightly to Bai Miner's side, and quietly watched her play the piano.

Ying Ning sat cross-legged on the roof, bathed in the moonlight, exhaled and adjusted her breath.

After finishing playing a song, Zhou Yu couldn't help stroking his palm lightly, and said with a smile: "This song should only exist in the sky, how many times can the world hear it?"

"It will coax people..."

Bai Min'er said angrily, but her heart was sweet.

Then he pushed Zhou Yu again: "I've never heard you play the piano before, let's play one and listen to it."

"Alright, you can't make jokes if you don't play well."

Bai Min'er suppressed a smile: "No...unless I can't help it~"

"Naughty~"

Zhou Yu sat down with a smile, thought for a while, and played a song "Sandie of Yangguan".

This is a guqin piece, but also a qin song.

Therefore, while playing, Zhou Yu slowly chanted to the sound of the piano:

"Weicheng is light and dusty in the morning rain, and the guest houses are green and willows look new.

Advise Jun to make a glass of wine even more, and there is no reason for him to go out of Yangguan.

Changting Liu Yiyi, sad and sad, my ancestors send me off.

The deepest love, the deepest love, the deepest affection, can't bear to divide, can't bear to divide...

The rain in Weicheng is light and dusty, and the guest house is green and new.

Advise Jun to make a glass of wine even more, and there is no reason for him to go out of Yangguan.

Carry the luggage, sand the wine bottle, and carry the wine in the Changting Pavilion.

Thousands of miles away, the heart is already drunk before drinking, who knows this hatred.

Pity, pity, pity, pity, can't bear to leave, can't bear to leave..."
