Exquisite ingenuity

Chapter 58 The Blood Book

It was dark and dark.

Jiu Niang got up lightly, and with a little light outside, she cleaned up neatly, and walked out with a basket as usual.

The cook who shared the room with her also got up, she went to bed and lit the lamp, and seeing that Jiu Niang was wearing thin clothes, she hurriedly whispered: "It's cold outside, you should dress warmer."

Jiuniang turned her head and smiled at her: "It's okay."

Jiu Niang was actually very good-looking and had a good figure, but she usually hid her pretty appearance.Looking back and smiling now, there is actually a different taste.

The cook was stunned for a moment, and Jiuniang disappeared.

There seemed to be movement everywhere outside.

Living in Baoxiang Temple is peaceful and lively.At this time, the monks got up to chop firewood, carry water and sweep the floor for breakfast and exercise. Although it was a quiet Buddhist place, it was full of fireworks.

Jiu Niang walked to the courtyard gate quietly, and was about to call Daliang to get up and open the door, but under the dim light of the lantern, she met a pair of eyes.

Those eyes were a little sad.

It's Daliang.

His voice was barely audible in the cold air: "Are you out?"

Jiu Niang lowered her head, looked at her pointy shoes, and hummed.

Daliang's expression was a little painful, he opened the door silently, and walked out by himself first.

Jiuniang didn't understand what he was going to do, so she followed him out.

There was no one around, and there was no other sound in the yard except the cook making a slight noise in the kitchen.

As soon as Jiu Niang walked out the door, she was tightly embraced by a pair of familiar hands into her familiar chest.

Jiuniang was shocked and tried to push Daliang's hand away, but Daliang's hand held her tighter.He buried his head in Jiuniang's neck, and Jiuniang felt the hot water dripping into his neck.

Daliang cried.Maybe she was too proactive in the lingering last night, and Daliang felt the difference in her.

Jiu Niang stood quietly, staring at the high sky in the distance, there were still stars twinkling, as if her daughters were smiling at her.

Daliang didn't hold her for long, the pair of big hands that helped her a lot loosened slightly.

Without looking at Daliang again, she carried the basket and walked out as usual.

Today, she is going to Dali Temple to beat the drums to appeal for grievances, and sue Zhong Xijiang for murdering her two daughters.

The heavy night gradually dissipated, and the number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased, Jiu Niang walked forward with her head buried.She is very familiar with the road leading to Dali Temple.Before today, she had walked countless times.

In her arms was a piece of paper.She didn't dare to ask others to write the pleadings, but she stood in front of the official list and stared at the clerks who read the list little by little over the years, knowing the words on the official list one by one, and then practicing little by little. Will do.

The pleading paper was not written with pen and ink, but she bit her finger and wrote it with her own blood.

Jiu Niang walked step by step, her vision gradually blurred.

In the past few years, she spent every day in deep regret.

If she had recognized her daughters earlier and taken them away from Zhong Man; if she hadn't had wine that night, but had hired a doctor for her daughters earlier...

But there are no what-ifs in the world.

Only regret day and night.

Jiu Niang turned around an alley, and then went on to the spacious Zhuque Street. From Zhuque Street to Tongque Alley, there was Dali Temple.

In the alley in the early morning, after a night of accumulation, there was a strong smell of urine.

Jiu Niang quickened her pace, and when she was about to cross the alley, someone suddenly grabbed her feet.Unprepared, Jiu Niang screamed and was dragged to the ground.

There was a strange yet familiar smell coming from her mouth and nose, Jiu Niang was still in shock, but she could still tell that it was the smell of blood.

She trembled, looking at the hand that was holding her ankle.

It was clearly a man's hand.

In Kyoto, there have always been many stories of lonely women being raped//defiled in the alleys.Jiu Niang was about to struggle desperately to get away, when suddenly she heard the man dying, "...help..."

The hand holding her ankle seemed to have exhausted its strength, and it let go weakly.

Still in shock, Jiu Niang got up and ran a little farther before she dared to look back at the man.

Not a messy alley, the man fell on the ground, motionless.In the dim light of dawn, she could see bloodstains all over the short brown shirt the man was wearing.This is also a poor poor man. Could it be that he got his wages but was robbed halfway?

If it was in the past, she would definitely help him.But at such a critical moment today, it is impossible for her to save him.

Feel sorry.She thought to herself, her heart was pounding, she walked out of the alley with weak hands and feet, and bumped into a person suddenly.

Jiu Niang was taken aback, and was about to go around the man, when the man suddenly called her in a low voice: "Jiu Niang."

Jiuniang suddenly looked up, and saw the young man who stopped her at Baoxiang Temple yesterday looking at her with a smile.

Jiuniang was taken to another alley, where there was a green covered carriage.She was brought into the carriage, which was not spacious, and the girl from yesterday was sitting opposite her wearing a mask.

Jiu Niang has already settled down, even though the carriage is slightly dark at this time, she can still see that the girl sitting opposite her is not very old.

Whose girl is she?There are such means and courage.Jiuniang thought secretly in her heart.

Zhao Jinyi said, "Where is Auntie going?"

Jiu Niang looked directly at Zhao Jinyi: "Why does the girl have to get involved? Is it for fun?"

Zhao Jinyi smiled.Even though Jiu Niang couldn't see her face clearly, she thought in her heart that the little girl in front of her must be pretty.Her life must be good.Otherwise, she would not have such a pleasant smile.

They are all human beings, but her daughter was whipped to death by Zhong Man, and the little girl in front of her, whether she was bored or wanted to play tricks on her, stopped her here early in the morning.

Zhao Jinyi stopped laughing, and his voice suddenly became cold: "Of course I didn't do it for fun. I saved my aunt from going anywhere. I didn't say anything about this matter from the beginning to the end, but I didn't get involved. However, if my aunt Rushing to Dali Temple with the blood book in my arms, I was afraid that my aunt would never return."

She didn't even save the blood book in her arms!

Jiu Niang suddenly lost her composure, her hands and feet became cold.When she was writing the blood book, she was obviously only surrounded by Daliang...

Daliang, Daliang won't be bribed by her!
Zhao Jinyi said in a low voice: "I have a good idea. If my aunt believes me, then give me the blood book in her arms..."

Jiu Niang's face was full of guard: "How can you tell me to trust you? Could it be that Shi Shi sent you to deceive me?"

Zhao Jinyi laughed again.She said slowly: "Auntie is very secretive, but I don't think that Zhong Xijiang's brother-in-law, Shi Zhuangshan, is now working in Dali Temple. Shizhuangshan only has Zhong Xijiang as a direct brother-in-law, do you think he will help you? "

Shi Zhuangshan actually came back and became a Beijing official?
Jiuniang was startled and suspicious, obviously before that, Shizhuang Mountain was still outside the Hebei Mansion... How did this little girl know so well? Could it be that she is the enemy of the Shi family?
Zhao Jinyi's voice was low, as if it had a demagogic force: "I think Auntie is a powerful person. I like Auntie very much, how about this, I will do this for Auntie. But Auntie will have to Follow my orders."

"That can't be done!" Jiu Niang blurted out, her face full of hatred, "I want to avenge my daughter's revenge myself!"

Zhao Jinyi smiled again: "Don't worry, Auntie, I won't let you miss the chance to kill your enemies."

"It's just that if I follow my method, there is a better shortcut..."
