Chapter 24

heart, will be sick?
Tang Lian opened her teary eyes, uncertain.

"Miss Tang, when people are sick, they will be confused and do things that they would not be able to do normally. Therefore, there is nothing to blame. You want to please him and listen to him, but sometimes you think back These, and you feel that you can't express your feelings for him, and you can't tell anyone, it's a shame, isn't it?"

Tang Lian gasped heavily, what was going on with this weird girl, she seemed to be able to see through her heart.

"Miss Tang, look at me, yes, look at me. Think about it carefully, seriously, why do you fall in love with him? Love that he didn't kill you after he kidnapped you? Or love that he gave you after he imprisoned you? Didn't the food starve you to death? This is not a question I asked you, but a question you asked yourself. You don't need to answer, as long as you have the answer in your heart. What do you love about him?"

Tang Lian was stunned, and couldn't help but follow Su Xiaopei's words to think, why did she like him?She likes him...she doesn't know!But she can't do anything, she only has him left, and she is tied to his life.

"You feel that you are bound to his fate and that you must obey him, don't you?"

Tang Lian's heart beats fast, can she read minds?Does she know what she's thinking?Did she see him too?Could she know what he was thinking?Does she recognize him?
"I have seen him, and of course I can identify him, but I have made an agreement with my lord, and I hope to leave this opportunity to you. After all, you are the one who wants to live in this place."

Tang Lian couldn't help biting her lip, is she going to live here?how to liveAfter all this trouble, it was even more impossible for her to stay any longer.

"He put you back, didn't he? He told you a reason to impress you, and asked you to help him find a suitable girl in town. You agreed, and you were eager to please him, to prove your love to him But when you come back, you don’t know what kind of girl is suitable, although he has told you how to be safe, how to fight without leaving traces, how you meet, how to exchange news, everything has been thought out. He even taught you that when you are questioned by your family and the government, you just pretend that you were frightened and you don’t remember anything. Everything is going well, but you can’t set a goal for a long time. It is said that the girls you know are the safest and know everything, but you don’t Bear with me, you don't have the guts to contact someone you don't know."

Su Xiaopei stopped at this point, she looked at Tang Lian.

Tang Lian trembled a little, and finally covered her face and cried bitterly. She was shocked, hurt, sad and ashamed!She even knows? !How would she know? !

"But you can't explain to him, you are very scared, so you think of me. Foreign, helpless, alone, without a past, such a person, no one will care if he disappears."

Tang Lian buried her head even lower, she really thought so.

"But your conscience still doesn't allow you to do this. Miss Tang, I'm glad you came to me. I know you lied. You still remember, but you said you don't remember. Miss Tang, you don't have to doubt, I I'm not fooling you, I'm sure you don't have amnesia. Do you know that people have some expressions when they recall, and these expressions are uncontrollable. We talked about some things at that time, you were talking about home and meeting Ran When you were a strong man, the expression on your face is different from when you say you don’t remember the bandits. Look, are you thinking about what we all said then?”

Tang Lian was taken aback, she was really thinking about what the two of them said at that time.

"True memories and fabricated lies have different expressions. Miss Tang, at that time, I always felt hesitation and anxiety in your words. I thought you were because of other things, but now I know why. .You don't want to hand me over, no matter whether someone will find out, no matter what the result is, you don't want to be an accomplice. But he must have urged you, you told him about me, and you said you should take a look , but you know that I will be in danger if you tell him, and you hesitate to warn me about it."

Tang Lian smiled wryly at herself. Now that the matter had happened, no matter what she thought before, it became unimportant.

"Miss Tang, you see, people observe etiquette and judge right from wrong. Although your heart is sick, it still knows what is right and what is wrong."

She doesn't blame her?

Tang Lian was so ashamed that she couldn't help but said: "But I did have that idea. You are right, you are right. He said he must find another girl, which is the only way to kill him. He His life was very bitter, his family was broken and his family was ruined. He had no one to rely on, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't live a good life. As a result, one day, a voice in his ear told him that he was haunted by evil spirits and had to use the life of a woman. Sacrificial to the devil, that's why he had to do that. I...he should have used me as a sacrifice, but he told me...he said he liked me, he couldn't bear it, he was sincere to me...but he delayed After so long without demon sacrifice, he will die soon... I, I didn't know he would do it so soon, and I want to delay it..."

"It's not your fault, Miss Tang. If I were you, I would believe him too."

Tang Lian blinked her tears and wiped them away: "Really?"

Su Xiaopei nodded and smiled at her.

Tang Lian stared at her, feeling much more at ease.

Seeing her slightly relaxed posture, Su Xiaopei knew that he had made a big step forward. "If I were you"—this is a hypothesis, of course she couldn't be her, but if she were her, of course the result would be the same.This is a way to gain approval at a closer distance without lying.

Su Xiaopei went on to say: "Miss Tang, you can ask yourself again, what do you like about him?"

Tang Lian sniffed and took a few deep breaths, feeling calmer.

Su Xiaopei was quiet for a while, and then said: "Those feelings of liking and dependence will not disappear so quickly, but you can definitely do it. You are very brave. Miss Tang, you are very brave. You must know that everything that happened It just became your memory, it's just a memory, it can't hurt you anymore."

"Just a memory?"

"Yes, it has passed, it will only be a memory."

Tang Lian didn't speak, but couldn't help repeating these words in her heart.

Su Xiaopei didn't bother her, she looked at Tang Lian's expression and waited.

The township official outside the door and later Liu Xiang were agitated when they heard Su Xiaopei's talk and actually pried Tang Lian's mouth open, but they became quiet inside.They are so anxious, Miss Su didn't strike while the iron was hot, but diverted the conversation to the other side, what should I do if I miss the opportunity?If Ran Feize hadn't stopped them, the two of them really wanted to rush in and continue the interrogation by themselves.

At this time, Su Xiaopei in the room spoke again: "Miss Tang, do you feel better now?"

Tang Lian nodded.

Su Xiaopei went on to say: "Miss Tang, although you and I are daughters and women, we can argue right from wrong and be reasonable. That's why even though you were sick and bewitched by him, you didn't help him to commit murder for so long. You have done a good job at this point in the matter. If this town is not because of you, how can it be peaceful? Miss Tang, you and I both know who the shopkeeper is. You point out the person who robbed you How many girls' lives can you save? Zhuangshi Ran and I will also testify for you. You pretended to agree to the thief's request, you were able to save your life, and you made a trick to get us to cooperate, so you were able to catch the thief. Miss Tang , you are the hero of this town."

Tang Lian was stunned, and the town official was also stunned. What's the situation?How come, the accomplice has become a hero?
Liu Xiang patted the town official on the shoulder, and Ran Feize also looked over.The township official gritted his teeth. This Tang Lian is indeed a poor girl. Although she almost went astray, the girl who was victimized didn't say anything, and he didn't have the victim to tell him. Of course he couldn't say anything. The thief is convicted, don't let him go.

If this can get Tang Lian's cooperation and is willing to identify the thief, it would be a good thing.

The town official quickly figured it out and nodded.

Inside, Su Xiaopei was still talking to Tang Lian, and Ran Feize couldn't help laughing when she heard that, this girl is really amazing, first she threw out a story, which made people stunned for a while, it was well-founded, As if he really knew what happened.Then say that I know you are lying, you don't have to play tricks, I know everything.Frighten people, come to show kindness again.I don't blame you, I would do the same if you were, so how could I blame you?Not only do I not blame you, I can also help you.Aren't you unable to stay in this town?Aren't you afraid that if you identify the bandit, you will also be charged as an accomplice?Look, I've thought it over for you, you are not an accomplice, you are a great hero.Everyone should be grateful to you, I paved the road for you, you just go down, you still worry about your reputation in this town?
With this kind of method, let alone a weak woman, even a well-informed man will be led by the nose, right?

Sure enough, in the later conversation, Tang Lian retreated steadily and was seduced by Su Xiaopei, who robbed her and took her to the mountain. What did the bandits tell her, how did they let her go, and how did they plan to use her to rob again? The woman said everything.

Of course, this process was not so happy. Su Xiaopei talked about it bit by bit, and after a while, it took nearly an hour.

There was a lot of commotion outside the yamen, and several officials couldn't stop them. The township officials heard Su Xiaopei's progress inside, and they were fully sure, so they went out to appease everyone, saying that Tang Lian was brought back to let her identify and rob her. The murderer is not an accomplice as rumored.The guard who yelled loudly when stopping the villagers before that Tang Lian was suspected and needed to be interrogated was also severely scolded by the township officials in public.

Everyone was in a calm mood, and the township official said that this matter is not easy for the girl's family. It is very important to identify the murderer. Everyone, please stop making noise, stay calm and don't be impatient, and stay a little longer.

After the township official said this, everyone finally stopped making trouble.The focus of everyone's discussion finally changed from letting the yamen release people to whether Tang Lian could successfully identify the murderer.After a while, she said that she doesn't remember anything, can you still recognize her?After a while, she said that she would be too scared?Some people say that this kind of thing is not decent, and the girl's family can't do it.It is also said that the girl from the Tang family is a good girl, and she will never let the wicked do any more harm.Everyone talked a lot, and finally turned to encourage the Tang family who were waiting at the gate of the yamen.

In everyone's minds, it seemed that whether Shitou Town could find peace in the future suddenly seemed to be tied to Tang Lian.

In the backyard, Su Xiaopei finally finished talking with Tang Lian.She came out and looked at Ran Feize, Liu Xiang, and the township official who had been waiting outside. Before she could speak, the township official hurriedly stated: "Don't worry, girl, what girl and Miss Tang Lian said is only heard by the three of us." .”

Both Ran Feize and Liu Xiang are from other places, so this matter has nothing to do with them. In other words, the only person in the town who knows about this matter is the town official.

Su Xiaopei nodded.

The township official said again: "As long as Miss Tang Lian is willing to identify the murderer, I will not care about other matters."

Su Xiaopei looked at Ran Feize, who nodded at her.

The township official was a little depressed. Although he is a small official, he is in charge of the town. This girl can't trust him, so she has to confirm with others?
Su Xiaopei pushed the door open at this moment, and said to the village official, "My lord, please talk to Miss Tang."

The town official straightened his back, nodded, and went in.

The township official and Tang Lian talked about the affairs outside the yamen, and he was quite aware of the importance of reputation to a girl's family, and it couldn't be more practical for him, the parent official, to rectify her name.After saying this, he asked, "Would you like to identify the thief?"

Tang Lian looked at Su Xiaopei outside the door, and Su Xiaopei nodded to her.

Seeing this scene, the township officials were depressed again.He's the one in charge, okay?

Tang Lian took a deep breath, and finally said: "I would like to identify that the salesman who talked to me by the well is the bandit who robbed me. He also killed the girl who died in the mountain before."

What happened afterwards, Su Xiaopei felt that it could be described as happy for all.

The bandits subjugated, Tang Lian went home, and although she didn't earn any money from this incident, she took the opportunity to ask the village official for a pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

She happily carried the free four treasures of the study back to the firewood room of the wine shop. That night, she lay down on the bed and wrote down her first diary in this world.
