Chapter 153 Wu Yeti

Zhou Qiang shook her head: "I really don't know anything. When I found the body in the lake that day, I was indeed with the little red girl next to Cuiniang. She came to invite me to the Pingkang Pavilion, saying that Cuiniang was looking for me. , I declined on the grounds that the building was busy."

He frowned and thought about it carefully, and then said: "But now that I think about it, Miss Xiaohong's attitude towards me was indeed no different than before. In the past, even if I refused to go, she would not be angry or something, but on that day she had a rare outburst. I got angry and said that I didn't know good people, that I failed her girl's affection..."

Speaking of this, he quietly raised his eyes to look at Song Guichen, seeing that the other party listened seriously and did not make fun of him, so he was relieved.

His whole heart was on Miss Song, so he naturally didn't know the favor of others.

Especially the other party was the leader of the Pingkang Pavilion, the thorny rose with a straightforward and mysterious look.

Well, he has been wondering about this for the past few days.

Where did he fall into Cuiniang's eyes?

Could it be that Cui Niang locked herself up for a few days, and she also locked up her feelings?
Can't figure it out.

"in this way."

"Miss Song, to tell you the truth, I did not tell Young Master Gu the truth just now. First, I am a matter of 'I'm here'. I don't want the third person to know. Second, I don't believe Cui Niang will do it. Something about killing Wen Yueshi."

Song Guichen pondered.

She didn't have Gu Yi's exquisite heart, so she couldn't figure out why Gu Yi suspected Cuiniang.

I had to frown and think: If it is Cui Niang, what is her purpose?

Could it be that it is for the Xiangqiao meeting next month?

Song Guichen had met Cuiniang in the previous assassination case in the Shongcui Tower. She was a woman who dared to risk herself to help Zhou Qiang and Chang's father and daughter complete the assassination plan. Song Guichen admired her courage very much.

Would such a woman kill a person for the sake of the name of the head of the Xiangqiao Society?
Song Guichen was not sure.

But like Zhou Qiang, she is more inclined not to.

However, just now Zhou Qiang said that Xiao Hong got angry that day and said that he "failed Cui Niang", so there is some article.

Could it be that Cuiniang killed Wen Yan because of a love word?

Song Guichen had no doubts about Gu Yi's judgment, and thought that with his vision and wisdom, even if Zhou Qiang did not tell the whole truth, he would still find out the truth of the case, but Zhou Qiang deliberately concealed it, so he had to go through some twists and turns .

Yin said: "Thank you Brother Zhou for telling me such a secret thing, but Brother Gu is thoughtful, he will be able to find out the truth."

Zhou Qiang heard the meaning of Song Guichen's words, she was telling herself that she should not deliberately conceal Gu Yi.

Feeling stung by something, Zhou Qiang said, "Miss Song, don't worry, if Cuiniang is really the murderer of Master Wen Yue, I will definitely not protect her."

Pingkang Pavilion.

Outside the emerald building, the maychrysanthemums bloomed all over the ground, and the remaining flowers of various colors hung wilted on the bluestone steps, obviously neglected.

Zhou Qiang's heart sank.

Xiaohong saw Zhou Qiang who was stunned downstairs, and snorted coldly, she didn't want to take care of him, but after thinking about it, she still lifted the corner of her skirt and went downstairs.

"Hey, isn't this the busy bartender Zhou of the Suocui Building? Why do you have to hang out in the brothel today? Doesn't the sun come out from the west today?"

She is so yin and yang, Zhou Qiang is not angry with her.She cupped her hands and said, "Miss Xiaohong, I don't know if your girl is in the building?"

"Hey, what's going on today, the bartender Zhou actually thought of my girl? It's strange that she can't even invite her on weekdays, but she came here on her own initiative today."

Knowing that she was still angry a few days ago, Zhou Qiang frowned slightly, and continued: "Please tell me, Miss Hong, if your girl is not here today, then Zhou will leave now."

Xiao Hongyuan was just enjoying her mouth, if she really let Zhou Qiang go, the girl would blame her later, it would be hard for her to explain.

Moreover, poor Cui Niang, because of this ruthless and heartless man, she has lost a lot of weight these days, and seeing him again, Xiao Hong feels that the girl will die with hatred.

Stop talking to each other, and lead Zhou Qiang upstairs to Cuiniang's piano room.

"Girl, who do you see coming?"

Cuiniang was sitting behind a lyre, still wearing a thin red gauze dress, but she had no lipstick on her lips and no makeup on her face. Zhou Qiang was surprised by her skinny appearance.

Seeing Zhou Qiang, Cui Niang seemed very happy, "You are here, sit down. Xiaohong, serve tea."

Zhou Qiang did not take her seat, but frowned at Cuiniang: "What's going on with you?"

"Zhou Lang, do you know the rhythm?" Cui Niang ignored Zhou Qiang's question and asked Zhou Qiang instead.

Zhou Qiang shook her head.

Cuiniang smiled: "No problem, just wait for me to play a song for Zhou Lang."

After all, he played and sang on his own.

The sound of the piano was deep and euphemistic, with lingering twists and turns. Zhou Qiang listened silently, feeling a little heartache.

Cuiniang raised her eyes and looked at Zhou Qiang, she gently parted her red lips, and sang:

"There is no residual red, and the wind comes at night. The bottom matter is that Dong Jun returns too hastily. The peach blossoms are drunk, the pear blossoms are tears, and it is always empty. A year of spring is ruined, in the green shade."

The song was soft and melodious, originally it was just a low-pitched song, but Cuiniang sang as if she had exhausted her whole life's strength, this mournful singing made Xiaohong shed tears, she wiped away her tears and looked at Cuiniang who was still hugging her gently.

Cuiniang controlled the priorities without haste. Amidst the clarity and vividness of the music strings, a dense sadness danced lightly, like ripples in green water, rippling away round and round.

After the song, only Xiaohong was left crying softly in the building.

Zhou Qiang was also sad in her heart, she just felt that Cuiniang's zither and singing were magical, and there was a kind of chanting that went to her heart, which made people feel dull and out of breath.

Facing Cuiniang's tender eyes, Zhou Qiang felt a little embarrassed, and seeing that she was very weak, not as shrewd and lively as she had seen before, she couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"Are you unwell?"

"A few days ago I suffered from the wind and cold, and I saw Zhou Lang today, and I am mostly healed." Cuiniang smiled, and then asked Zhou Qiang, "Does Zhou Lang know what song I played and sang just now?"

Zhou Qiang shook her head.

Cuiniang laughed again: "I forgot, you are not a romantic person."

She placed her ten fingers on the strings, gently lifted a string, and immediately made a low "clank" sound.

"The name of this song is "Wu Ye Cry", which evolved from the phrase "Wu Ye Cry Last Night Wind and Rain" written by Li Yu, the Empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty. I just sang the words and phrases I got by chance yesterday."

She looked at Zhou Qiang and asked, "Zhou Lang, what do you think?"

Zhou Qiangmu said in a daze, "It's well written and sung well."

Cuiniang couldn't help laughing, she didn't laugh enough, she covered her lips and coughed, and lay weakly on the piano, Xiaohong hurried forward to comfort her.

Zhou Qiang was shocked. He didn't expect that the last time she saw her, she still made fun of herself cunningly, saying that since the assassination in the Suocuilou, he was like a shrinking turtle, and he didn't dare to use the identity of "I'm here" went to steal.

Why did we see her so seriously ill today?
