Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 100 Murder

When Li Taiwei took Chang Ping to sit in the private room on the second floor of Cuiming Zhai, Chang Ping's face hadn't recovered yet.

I couldn't eat a single bite of the previous shortbread, so I threw it all to Dafu.It is said that cannibals have short mouths, and Dafu saw that Chang Ping was in a lot of pain, so he went downstairs and asked the shopkeeper to bring up two servings of sweet soup for Chang Ping to pass.

After a small cup of sweet soup bottomed out, Chang Ping really felt much more at ease.

Li Taiwei guessed with her toes that this girl must have fallen for Lu Xiao!I was very disdainful that Lu Xiao's guy actually attacked a woman, so I couldn't help but silently greeted his ancestor in my heart.

But after thinking about it for a while, I was a little confused... How could this girl offend Lu Xiao when she went to buy a shortbread?
Just now Changping vomited all the way, but she hadn't had time to ask a question.

Before she could open her mouth to ask, she could hear the voices of people downstairs.

Li Taiwei turned sideways, asked Dafu to half open the window, lowered the curtain, and looked down through the half-transparent window screen. It turned out that Bai Xiaosheng had appeared on stage.

Chang Ping suddenly became interested, looking at the storyteller downstairs who raised his hand to the audience, his eyes sparkled.

Seeing her vivid eyebrows and her complexion softened a lot, Li Taiwei felt relieved.

This Bai Xiaosheng is a well-known storyteller in Shengjing City, he is about forty years old, not tall, he is dressed in a green cloth gown, and his eyebrows and eyes are very kind.

As soon as he made his debut, the audience in the seats became enthusiastic immediately, and before they even opened their voices, someone threw a piece of silver up to reward him.

The servant next to Bai Xiaosheng hurriedly bowed to the stage holding a silver tray, collected all the silver in the tray, gave a salute to the audience, and then stepped aside.

Bai Xiaosheng lifted his robe and sat down, rolled up one cuff slightly, raised his hand and patted Xingmu, with a crisp "pop", he opened his voice slowly:

"It's a coincidence today, everyone! Two major events happened in Beijing and China!"

"First, the second wife of the prime minister blackheartedly seized the title and finally surrendered! Second, the eldest son of the emperor bestowed a happy marriage on Chang Liuniang!..."

All of a sudden, the matter exploded. Although the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion have shown signs of lately, the common people don't know the details. To hear Bai Xiaosheng's talk today, the tea money is really worth it!

Looking at the dark head below, Bai Xiaosheng patted Xingmu again, and then began to talk about the book eloquently...

Changping's brows drooped suddenly, and he was extremely disappointed, she knew all these things, it was really boring!

I thought I could come and listen to a story about a talented man and a beautiful woman, even if it is a villain, but I never thought that Bai Xiaosheng would actually talk about this today...

Chang Ping curled his lips, couldn't help thinking of something, turned his face and looked at Li Taiwei cautiously, and said tentatively:
"You don't feel uncomfortable when they comment on the Li family's affairs like this?"

Li Taiwei looked downstairs, listening to Bai Xiaosheng say with relish:
"The second housewife of the Li family, Mrs. Bai, was evil from the sidelines. She and her concubine bribed the imperial physician, and wanted to attack Xiangye's pregnant wife..."

After hearing this, the people below all gritted their teeth and scolded the Bai sisters and brothers for being black and shameless!
Mrs. Li frowned slightly, smiled lightly when she heard the sound, turned her eyes to Changping and said:

"Avalokitesvara has thousands of hands and can't stop the mouths of the world, what kind of heart am I?"

"Besides, it's not me who scolded me."

As Li Taiwei was talking, she couldn't help thinking that after she killed the Xue family in her previous life, Bai Xiaosheng's words were much more exciting than this passage.
It's a pity that she returned to Xiliang not long after that, and it was Chang Ping who mentioned in a letter later that the boss of Cuimingzhai had somehow offended Lu Xiao, the evil spirit, and told him to serve people overnight. Bai Xiaosheng has since disappeared from Shengjing.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Li sighed slightly.

Looking back, Chang Ping said with some worry:
"I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to get along with the cousins ​​of the second room in the future."

"The queen mother told me in private that Cousin Zhaohe is inconvenient. If you have any difficulties, you can go to the palace at any time to ask the queen mother or the emperor's brother for help."

Li Taiwei didn't worry much about the matter of the second room, she thanked Chang Ping after hearing the sound, and then remembered that Bai Xiaosheng mentioned the eldest prince's gift of marriage just now, and asked:

"Why did His Majesty decree the marriage today?"

In the previous life, the eldest prince's marriage was clearly decided on the Queen Mother's birthday. In this life, although her cousin Li Rui stepped in to disrupt the situation, it was after all the marriage of the eldest son of the emperor. Such haste is more like a rumor.
Chang Ping cautiously glanced around, leaned over to Li Taiwei, lowered his voice and said:
"It was Chang Siqing who personally begged my father yesterday. I heard that Miss Chang Liu could not bear the rumors and wanted to wring her hair to become a nun and go to Madam Chang. Because of this matter, she couldn't sleep well all day long. Next to Miss Chang Liu, I'm afraid she won't be able to think about it."

"When the father heard about this, he told his mother to discuss it. Only then did he learn that the incident of Changliu falling into the water that night was deliberately designed by Concubine Hua. In the palace, no one is allowed to visit. Early this morning, my father issued a decree to grant a marriage."

Only now did Li Taiwei understand, the emperor is killing two birds with one stone!

First, it solved the urgent need of the Chang family, and told Chang Siqing to be grateful, and at the same time, it caused a gap between the Chang family and Duanjun Wangfu; Thoughts I shouldn't have.
Mrs. Li narrowed her eyes slightly.

The sixth daughter of the Chang family, Chang Yongfang, and her are both noble daughters of the capital. In her previous life, the fourth daughter of the Jin family was tricked into marrying the eldest prince, and Chang Yongfang later married into the duanjun prince's mansion and became the first wife of the duanjun prince's son Ming'an. He also met with Li Taiwei a lot.

In the past, when Duanjun's mansion fell and there was chaos in the mansion, only Chang Yongfang remained calm and commanded the mansion soldiers to break out of the siege secretly. Later, he was outnumbered and died under the sword of Jin Wuwei.

There was a glint in Li Taiwei's eyes. From her understanding, the sixth girl of the Chang family was definitely not so weak.
Dali Temple Qing Changhai could ask His Majesty to ask for a marriage order regardless of his face, most likely because of some difficult things. Li Taiwei vaguely felt that this matter had something to do with Duanjun Palace.

Just as he was lost in thought, he heard a commotion downstairs.

Li Taiwei and Chang Ping leaned forward to look down, sure enough there was a crowd of people, as if they were watching something.Even Bai Xiaosheng stopped, stood up and looked down the stage.

"Killed! Killed! Killed!"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd screamed!

Suddenly, the crowd panicked and ran outside, shouting.

Before the shopkeeper had time to step up and take a look, the crowd squeezed out.Bai Xiaosheng on the stage was also stunned for a moment, his body trembled when he saw this, he didn't care about the reward on the table, and rushed outside together with the servant holding his head!

After half of the crowd dispersed, Li Taiwei finally saw a person lying on the ground, motionless.There was a short blade stuck in his chest, and blood gushed out, instantly staining a large area of ​​his clothes red, making it impossible to survive.

Before Chang Ping screamed, a cold arrow shot from the crowd.

"not good!"

Li Taiwei pulled Chang Ping quickly with quick eyes and hands, only heard a "whoosh", the arrow sank into the window lattice, and stabbed hard at Chang Ping's position.

Chang Ping asked Li Taiwei to pull it hard, and fell to the ground, his face was pale with shock, and he couldn't speak.

Li Taiwei's eyes suddenly closed with murderous intent, and he shouted loudly:

"Jinwu Guard listens to the order! Hurry up and escort!"
