Rebirth of the silly girl Chengfei

Chapter 74

Without talking all the way, the two arrived at the old alley in the south of the city, where they met Emperor Tianying who was patrolling in micro-clothes outside the Liyuan.

Taking off his mianfu and only wearing ordinary clothes, Emperor Tianying looked like an ordinary middle-aged man.He looked bleak, with a gentle smile on his face.

"Xiao Sesu, you are here too."

"The concubine sees Uncle Huang." Xiao Sesu leaned over to salute.

"Exemption." Emperor Tianying said first: "I am a commoner today, just your uncle."

"Yes, uncle." Xiao Sesu answered kindly.

Emperor Tianying smiled and said, "Wang Yan, you, a princess, also have a cute side."

Yu Wangyan said: "I made my uncle laugh."

Looking at his indifferent and calm profile, a wry smile formed on the corner of his bleak lips, which was faint but deep in his heart.

She took Emperor Tianying's arm and smiled affectionately: "Uncle Huang, let's listen to the opera together. Today we only listen to the opera and don't want to worry about those troublesome things. Both the prince and I hope you can relax."

Emperor Tianying's smile deepened, and he nodded in agreement.

The most famous opera troupe in Shunjing City set up a stage to perform in the old alley in the south of the city, and even named it "Liyuan" after a special trip.

I remember that Zhang Jinse used to come here to listen to operas all the time, and he liked to bring Zhang Yifan and a few other friends together, listening to it all day long.

This was the first time Xiao Sesu came back after her rebirth. She covered up all the emotions in her heart with an intimate smile, and sat on the seat that Yu Wangyan had reserved in advance, holding Emperor Tianying's arm.

Here, they met Xiao Ke and Chang Xiao in plain clothes.

"King Jin, Thurse..." Xiao Ke was surprised, and when he saw Emperor Tianying, he said in shock: "Your Majesty—"

Xiao Sesu quickly gestured to Xiao Ke.

Xiao Ke cupped his hands and asked in a low voice, "Why is Your Majesty here?"

"Listen to the opera." Emperor Tianying was in a happy mood at the moment, and saw Chang Xiao beside Xiao Ke, "Xiao Aiqing, who is he?"

"He is Cheng Changxiao of Shunjing Prefecture, who works under Jing Zhaoyin."

Emperor Tianying sized Chang Xiao up and said with a smile, "A man of talent."

Chang Xiao saluted unhurriedly, "I am ashamed to be a humble minister."

"Father, why are you here?" Xiao Sesu asked softly.

Xiao Ke cast a stern look on Xiao Sesel's face, "I still want to ask you, why don't you go to this place where fish and dragons are mixed together in Prince Jin's mansion? Didn't the Xiao family teach you the rules before?"

Xiao Sesu said aggrievedly: "I came with the prince."

"King Jin." Xiao Ke said hastily: "Surse is becoming more and more unruly, and it will cause you trouble again."

"Your father-in-law, you are welcome, I brought Sesel out to relax." Yu Wangyan said, but his eyes avoided Sesel.

"Okay, don't worry about the details." Emperor Tianying interrupted the words of several people.

Several people surrendered one after another.

Emperor Tianying glanced at Chang Xiao again, and asked Xiao Ke: "How do you know each other?"

"Reporting to the Holy Majesty, he was Renyin's second place in the new examination that year, and the invigilator of the palace examination that year was an old minister."

Emperor Tianying recalled that he still had the impression of being the No. [-] scholar and Tanhua in the imperial examination in the year of Renyin.Those three people are talented and have a lot of economics and strategy. The number one scholar has now become a governor of one side, and a long-term envoy in the third place. This second place is not inferior to others.

Just at this moment, there was applause all around.

It turned out that the head of the theater troupe came on stage and introduced the repertoire to be performed today, which is "Liu Yi Biography" in "Sou Shen Ji".

This "Liu Yi Biography" tells the story of Liu Yi, a poor scholar, who rescued the dragon girl of Dongting.

At first Liu Yi sternly refused the marriage, but Long Nu vowed not to marry anyone else.Going round and round, the two people who were separated finally came together, lived in Dongting together, and lived forever.

The people on the stage performed heartily, Emperor Tianying said yes again and again, but Xiao Sesu clenched his palms and looked at Yu Wangyan.

Can two people who are separated can still be together?

Isn't Zhang Jinse like Liu Yi, and Yu Wangyan's infatuation is not like Dragon Girl?
It's a pity that Liu Yi is Liu Yi from beginning to end, but she is no longer Zhang Jinse.

There was a lot of applause around, it was so lively, only Xiao Sesu felt pain in his heart, and the palms of his empty hands were cold.

At this moment, there were shrill screams from behind the stage.

"what!"

The cry came so suddenly that Xiao Xiao gasped in shock.

I saw a juggler rushing out from behind the stage, his face was pale, he fell to the ground, and said, "Dead, dead! Miss Jing'er, Miss Jing'er..."

The people on the stage were forced to stop, and the troupe owner ran over and said, "What are you doing! What's wrong with Jing'er!"

"Miss Jing'er, she... committed suicide by taking poison!"

There was an uproar.

This Jing'er is a well-known actor in the old alley in the south of the city, and even the number one in this troupe.These people who often come to the opera want to see the beauty, how could they have expected such a thing?
Xiao Sesu and Xiao Ke secretly exchanged glances.

This time they purposely asked Emperor Tianying to come to the theater to arrange an opportunity for Chang Xiao to meet Emperor Tianying and leave an impression first, but they did not expect that a homicide occurred in the theater troupe.

The troupe owner kept bowing to make amends, but the spectators wanted to follow along to join in the fun at the scene of the murder. The troupe couldn't stop him even if he wanted to. The troupe was in a hurry, shouting: "Report to the officer! Quickly report to the officer!"

"There is no need to report to the official!"

Chang Xiao lifted his robe and stood up, and said loudly: "I am the Fu Cheng who specializes in criminal litigation in the Shunjing Mansion."

"Ah? Officer!" The theater troupe leader hastily bowed, "The grass people don't know that the officer is here..."

"Lead the way." Chang Xiao was straightforward, bowed to Emperor Tianying and the others, and quickly passed by.

Seeing Chang Xiao's actions, Xiao Ke raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

Who says this emergency is not an opportunity?

If Chang Xiao could settle this matter well in front of His Majesty, it would be a breeze to get the position of Minister of Dali Temple.If he didn't have that ability, His Majesty wouldn't know that Chang Xiao was Xiao Ke's disciple, so he wouldn't be able to lose face to Xiao Ke.

Xiao Ke hurriedly said to Emperor Tianying: "Your Majesty, do you want to follow me to have a look?"

"Go and have a look." Emperor Tianying also wanted to see what was going on.

Xiao Sesu pulled back her skirt and got up, and went to the room of the top card Jing'er with everyone.

The door of the room was already full of people, all stretching their necks to look inside.

Chang Xiao and the theater troupe were in the house, everyone saw that Jing'er was dead, their expressions were rather ugly.

"Chang Xiao." Xiao Ke walked in.

Chang Xiao bowed respectfully, "Lord Xiao."

This appellation surprised everyone in the opera troupe so much that their eyes widened. Looking at the officials in Shunjing, whether they were surnamed Xiao or Xiao, they happened to be only from the Xiao family in Tangcheng.

The head of the theatrical troupe and others hurriedly knelt down, "Grassmen see Prime Minister Xiao You."

"Get up." Xiao Ke put on a majestic posture, did not reveal the identity of Emperor Tianying, but deliberately saluted Yu Wangyan, "King Jin."

This made the theater troupe and the onlookers even more awed, so many big figures came!

This room can be regarded as Jing'er's boudoir. From the moment Yu Wangyan stepped in, his eyes were attracted by Jing'er's death.

Jing'er died next to the stool. It looked like she drank poisonous wine while sitting on the stool, and then fell off the stool, and the wine glass was also broken.

A sharp look flashed across Chang Xiao's eyes, he leaned over to check the liquid left on Jing'er's lips, it was rice wine mixed with crane crimson.

Xiao Sesu murmured: "She didn't commit suicide."

This word shocked the whole troupe, and the troupe quickly asked, "Ma'am, what did you say?"

"Miss Jing'er didn't commit suicide." Xiao Sesu pointed to the fragments of the wine glass scattered on Jing'er, "The fragments are not in the right place."

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Sesu explained: "If Miss Jing'er had dropped the cup and shattered it before she fell down, then her body would be crushed into some pieces. If she shattered the cup after she fell down, then the pieces would not be broken. would fall so far that even the cup might not break."

Everyone followed Xiao Sesel's words and looked at the fragments of the wine glass. Most of the fragments fell on Jing'er's clothes.

"That is to say, this cup didn't fall from Miss Jing'er's hand, but someone smashed it on the ground." Xiao Sesu looked at Chang Xiao with a cool expression, "Changfu Cheng thinks so too."

"Reporting to Princess Jin, what I think is the same as what Princess Jin thinks." Chang Xiao stood up, looking around the room, looking at all kinds of furnishings one by one, with suspicion and inquiry all the time in his eyes.

Xiao Ke asked with a serious face: "Who was the first to discover Miss Jing'er's body just now, stand up."

"Yes...it's a small one." A young boy walked out tremblingly. This man is a famous juggler in the old alley in the south of the city, known as "Sun Bashi".

Xiao Ke said: "You tell the truth about the cause and effect."

"Yes." Sun Bashi said nervously: "The little one... the little one is here to call Miss Jinger to get ready to play. After the performance of "Liu Yi Biography", it will be Miss Jinger's play."

The head teacher suddenly wondered, "Why did you call her so early? Don't you know the rules of Yizhuxiang?"

"Small... because I'm afraid that Jing'er will forget the time when she dresses up!"

At this time, someone in the troupe said: "I think you killed Ms. Jing'er! Who doesn't know that you once proposed marriage to Ms. Jing'er, but she poured a bucket of hot water on it! I still don't believe you for such a shameful thing." Hold no grudges!"

"You, what are you talking about?" Sun Bashi was startled, and then shouted fiercely: "It's not me! How could I kill Jing'er! I like her, as long as she lives well, I can rest assured!"

"Fuck!" The man spat, pointed at Sun Bashi's nose, and cursed: "To be honest, I saw something wrong with you. Last night you were drunk and said you would kill Miss Jing'er. We Brothers have heard it, you treat us as deaf?"

"Yes, we all heard that!"

"Sun Bashi, Old Ma is right, you said that last night!"

Several people in the troupe spoke one after another, agreeing with what the old horse said.

Sun Bashi blushed and turned white, and roared angrily: "I said I didn't do it, but I didn't do it! I really like Jing'er, as long as she can live well, I'll be fine if I'm splashed with a bucket of hot water! OK!"

"Okay, what's the arguing, what's there to be arguing about." Xiao Sesu interrupted their dispute, her face was a bit miserable, and her eyes were full of sadness.

I really don't know why today is such a coincidence. First, "Liu Yi Biography", and then the entanglement between Sun Bashi and Jing'er, every scene seems to remind her: it was her fault that she and Yu Wangyan got together. It's so incongruous today!
Xiao Sesu's lips curled up into a slight sad smile, and the palms of his hands were very painful from being drilled by nails.

She didn't lose her composure, she still stood quietly beside Yu Wangyan, watching Chang Xiao's next move.
