Chapter 102 The Ugly Slave (11)

Ji Youjie turned his head and thought about it, and sighed a little, then asked him where he was going to watch a play, let's take him there.The abbot didn't refuse, he shook his head and said: "People in the world should do things in the world, let's go, let's go and watch the excitement together."

Although I didn't really want to go, but Ji Youjie had already followed, so I didn't have much to say, so I went all the way.After walking two streets and coming to a house, you can hear the sound of gongs and drums coming from inside.Although the yard is spacious, it doesn't look like a special theater.

I looked up at the sign at the door, and immediately saw that it was written improvised, and immediately knew that it was a grass-roots team.This kind of grass-stage troupe is very mobile, and they often sing along the way, renting a house when they arrive at a place, and if a big family comes to invite them, they go to their house to set up a stage to sing.If not, tickets will be sold outside in the rented house.

The tickets sold by this kind of theater troupe are not expensive. Nowadays, it is not as good as in the peaceful and prosperous times, and sometimes they may not make money to fool their stomachs.I heard that the abbot monk likes to listen to operas, and I thought he was a senior opera fan, but I didn’t want to come to such a place. It seems that he is really just listening to the excitement.

Ji Youjie went to buy three admission tickets, and we walked into the courtyard together.The courtyard was very large, and a stage was set up in the middle, on which an actor was babbling and singing.The few audience members in the audience looked serious, not as if they were watching a play, but as if they were waiting for the one on the stage to finish singing so that they could tear down the stage.

The abbot found a stool in the arena and sat down. I was not good at listening to operas, and I didn't know what the person on the stage was singing, so I stood beside Ji Youjie.After listening to it for a while, I couldn't figure out why. I was quite bored, and was about to propose to go first. At this moment, I suddenly saw someone walking past in the inner courtyard.

This house has two yards inside and outside, with a door in the middle connecting them.The stage was right next to the door, so I could see the scene in the inner courtyard from under it.At this time, I saw someone walking by inside, and I was taken aback because this person was Mama Yu from the Xin family!

It's not that she shouldn't have a hobby of listening to operas, but at this time the Xin family is undergoing major changes, even the head of the family is dead, so she still has the desire to listen to operas?Besides, she was not under the stage in the front yard, and she didn't look like she was here to listen to the opera.So what is she doing here?
Although I made up my mind to leave soon, I participated in the case of the Xin family from the beginning to the end, and it would be best if I could have a start and end before leaving.So when I saw Mama Yu at this moment, my heart turned a thousand times.According to what Xin Shouyi said, Mama Yu was the one who knocked me out last night, and it is too unusual for her to appear in the theater regardless of what happened to the Xin family.

Thinking of this, I gently tugged on La Ji Youjie's sleeve and told about it.Ji Youjie was also surprised, and asked, "Why did she appear here?"

I pondered for a while, and said: "Last night, Mama Yu knocked me out from behind, and then I saw Mount Sumeru Temple, do you still remember this?"

Ji Youjie nodded, and his brows were already frowned: "By the way, after Mama Yu knocked you out, you said you saw the Mount Sumeru Temple in the mustard seed. I haven't figured out what happened yet."

"Yes, this is indeed still a mystery, but I was thinking about another thing." I stared at the inner courtyard and said, "Xin Fuzhen and Xin Shouyi insisted that the other party killed Xin Ruyi, and we also think The murderer must be one of these two people. But now that I think about it, I have overlooked one thing—these two people may not be the murderer!"

Ji Youjie was taken aback for a moment, and it took him a while to realize that the expression on his face changed immediately, "At that time, it was Qian Bo and Yu Ma who went to the monk's house to help Xin Ruyi. It is possible that these two people killed Xin Ruyi. The corpse was carried out of the monk's house, but he told Xin Fuzhen that Xin Ruyi was already dead when they entered the monk's house, so Xin Fuzhen insisted that Xin Shouyi was the murderer."

"This can also explain why these two people are urging Xin Shouyi to leave. But why did they kill Xin Ruyi?"

"The Xin family's business makes a lot of profits every year. If Xin Ruyi dies and Xin Fuzhen is a young girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, then they will have the final say on the affairs of the Xin family in the future?"

This is actually something that is easy to guess, but because Xin Fuzhen has always sided with them, we always thought that these three people were in the same group, but we forgot that it might be Qian Bo and Yu Ma who joined forces. He deceived Xin Fuzhen.

Xin Ruyi originally planned that he would die at the hands of Xin Shou, and explained to the Xin family.After Qian Bo and Yu Ma learned about this incident, they had plans in their minds, and planned to take control of Xin's family after Xin Ruyi's death.However, Xin Shouyi did not kill Xin Ruyi, which immediately made their wishful thinking come to naught.

But they were not reconciled, so they made the mistake and simply killed Xin Ruyi themselves.Because Xin Ruyi himself said that he would die at the hands of Xin Shouyi in order to be relieved, so Xin Fuzhen was convinced that it was Xin Shouyi who killed him.That way, everything makes sense.

"After Mama Yu knocked me out last night, she created an illusion of Mount Sumeru Temple for me to see. This can't be in that alley, because you didn't find me there at all last night, so she must have taken me I moved to another place, and moved me to the alley at dawn." Seeing that the truth was about to come to light, I couldn't help being a little excited, "But she is a woman, and she can't easily move me around. So , she must have accomplices."

"At that time, Uncle Qian was with me at Xin's house, so this accomplice could not be Uncle Qian." Ji Youjie also looked towards the inner courtyard, "And such a mobile grass-roots team usually won't come back after leaving. It is most appropriate to invite them to do something unknown."

"The illusion of Mount Sumeru Temple must have been created by them." I also said that people who run around in the rivers and lakes often do strange things, but I don't know what methods they use.

Now that we had a consensus, we stopped hesitating. Ji Youjie called someone under the stage and asked him to go to the town hall to inform the townspeople to come, while he and I rushed directly from the front yard to the inner yard.We entered the inner courtyard, but found that there was no one there, and we didn't know which room Mama Yu had gone to. Only the chimney of the kitchen on the right was smoking.

While we were hesitating, a man came out of the kitchen. He was about [-] years old and had a very handsome appearance. When he saw us, he said, "Misters, this is where we live. Please invite us to listen to the opera." Find a seat outside."

The voice is very crisp, it must be a young opera singer singing Huadan in the troupe, so there are some male and female faces.He opened his mouth to speak as soon as he saw us. At this time, he saw our faces clearly after he finished a sentence. For some reason, he suddenly trembled, took a few steps back, and then rushed into the kitchen.

When I saw him running away, I was overjoyed, because it showed that he knew me.It must have been Mama Yu who helped him last night, otherwise I would have never met him, why did he run away when he saw me?
Seeing him hiding in the kitchen, we rushed over quickly and pushed the kitchen door open.The water was being boiled in the kitchen, and a window was opened beside the stove, which was wide open at this time.A person is jumping out of the window, but it is not the person just now, but Mama Yu.

She was a woman in her fifties, so her movements were naturally not as agile as that of young people. Besides, the window sill was opened a bit high, and she dared not jump after climbing on it.While we were hesitating, we had already opened the door and came in. Seeing this, she gritted her teeth immediately, closed her eyes and jumped down.

We rushed to the window, only to see that someone's house outside the window seemed to have collapsed and was not rebuilt. It has become ruins after a long time, and even the bricks and tiles have been picked up, so it is quite empty.There was a tree on the ruins with luxuriant branches and leaves. When I saw this tree, I immediately remembered it. When I woke up after fainting, it was a tree with my back against which I saw Mount Sumeru Temple.

This is probably the place where they created illusions, and I jumped out of the window sill when I saw it.Mama Yu and the actor were running in tandem.Although Mama Yu tried her best, she couldn't run fast, and I quickly caught up and grabbed her.The actor looked back, instead of stopping, he ran even faster, and disappeared around a corner in the blink of an eye.

Ji Youjie is not young anymore, so he slowly climbed down from the window. Seeing that I grabbed Mama Yu, he let out a sigh of relief.Mama Yu was grabbed by me, her expression was a little disheartened, but she forced herself to calm down and said, "What are you two chasing me for?"

Ji Youjie panted, "Xin Ruyi was killed neither by Xin Fuzhen nor by Xin Shouyi, but by you and Qian Bo, right?"

Mama Yu was a little panicked at first, but when she heard his words, she suddenly calmed down again, and said strangely: "You said that I and Uncle Qian killed the master together?"

"If not, why are you running?" Ji Youjie asked back.

"Whether in the former Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China, there is no law prohibiting people from running away." For some reason, Ma Yu suddenly became extremely calm, "If the mayor has evidence, please show it as soon as possible. If not, I have to go home."

"I know this place." I said suddenly, "I saw Mount Sumeru Temple last night, and it was at this place. You knocked me out from behind, and Xin Ruyi saw it. If we can't find the place, we will take it You have no choice, but since you found it, these two things are connected, and you can be listed as a suspect no matter what."

"That's right." Ji Youjie also said, "When you and Qian Bo came out of the monastery with Xin Ruyi, he was already dead. But the abbot of Yunmen Temple can prove that Xin Shouyi didn't kill anyone, and Xin Fuzhen didn't enter at that time. Sengshe, so the only ones who have the chance to kill someone are you and Chamberlain. In addition to what you did to this little gentleman, the combination of several factors is enough to convict you, and even the county review will recognize it."

Mama Yu listened quietly without refuting, and there was no expression of fear on her face.After a while she suddenly sighed.We all thought she was going to say something, but she said: "Whether the master was killed by me and Qian Bo, you can ask my girl."

My heart trembled, I don't know why she said this sentence suddenly.Ji Youjie was also quite surprised, and reprimanded: "The town office is enough to determine this matter, why are you looking for your girl?"

Mama Yu didn't say anything, but insisted on seeing Xin Fuzhen.We all secretly speculated in our hearts, could it be that Xin Fuzhen has something in her hands, so she wants to coerce Xin Fuzhen to exonerate her?

No matter what, this matter has to be explained to Xin Fuzhen, so she can see her if she wants.At this time, the town hall's brave men arrived, saw us from the kitchen, and dragged us in through the window one by one, and then a group of people escorted Mama Yu back to the town hall, and sent people to call Xin Fuzhen and Qian Bo Come, by the way, look for the actor who ran away.

Not long after, Xin Fuzhen and Qian Bo came over, and Ji Youjie told Xiangyong that if Qian Bo didn't come or tried to escape, he would be arrested.But judging by the expression on his face when he came, he didn't intend to run away at all.Seeing that he and Yu Ma were so calm, we felt a little strange.

Ji Youjie told Xin Fuzhen about the matter, and thought she would suddenly realize that it was Mama Yu and Uncle Qian who did it, but she didn't say anything after hearing this, but first went to hold Mama Yu's hand, and said in a low voice. Said: "Thanks to you and Chamberlain."

Ji Youjie and I almost dropped our jaws when we heard that Mama Yu and Qian Bo killed her father, yet she thanked them for their hard work?
"My father was not killed by Mama Yu and Uncle Qian." After comforting Mama Yu, Xin Fuzhen looked helpless, as if he was very tired of our constant entanglement about this matter.

"She created the illusion of Mount Sumeru Temple, and she and Qian Bo went in to pick up the people. The living people turned into dead people after they came out. How could they not kill them?" Ji Youjie said kindly, "Xin Miss Jia, you don't have to worry, we will send these two people to the county soon, and it won't harm you."

Xin Fuzhen sighed, and asked, "You think I'm afraid of their revenge, so I offended them?"

"I think, or they have something to do with you?"

"No." Xin Fuzhen said bluntly, "They were not the ones who went to pick up my father from the monk's house. Therefore, it is impossible for them to kill him."

Ji Youjie and I were dumbfounded at the same time.
