blue shirt oath

Chapter 158

Hearing this, Xiaohong suddenly burst into tears, tears falling like rain.

Asking her to believe that Cui Niang killed someone because of a piece of music would make her feel worse than killing her.

However, Cuiniang personally admitted that she killed Wen Yan, and drew the bet in black and white, but made Xiaohong puzzled, and really didn't know what to believe.

Hearing Zhou Qiang's words at this time, Xiaohong's faith in Cuiniang loosened in her heart, thinking that Cuiniang would be tried soon, Xiaohong felt sad and cried even more sadly.

A few days later, the government issued an announcement that the truth about the murder of Wen Yan in Liuyifang by Cui Niang in Pingkangguan was revealed, and the murderer Liu Cuiqiu was asked to be executed.

Gu Xingzhi haggarded a lot in the past few days, and when he heard the news of Liu Cuiqiu's death, he felt mixed feelings. Depressed, he came to Gu Yi's Yaxuan, wanting to talk to his third brother.

Unlike Gu Xingzhi's boredom, Gu Yi is very leisurely, studying ancient books.

Hearing footsteps, Gu Yi raised his head: "Second brother."

Gu Xingzhi sat down on the chair decadently, and said in a decadent way: "Third brother, the government's verdict has come down, and Liu Cuiqiu will be sentenced to death."

"Does Qiuhou ask to be killed?" Gu Yi murmured, and then nodded, "Killing people pays for their lives, it is justified, and Qiuhou asked to be killed, but it is also in line with the law."

"However, there are now people in all major restaurants and teahouses secretly discussing that Liu Cui was not the real culprit who killed Wen Yan, and even more that Wang Qinruo made a wrong judgment."

When Gu Yi heard this, his handsome eyebrows frowned: "Where did you hear that, second brother?"

"Damn, third brother, you're stupefied at home reading, you don't know, ever since Liu Cui was interrogated in the prefectural government's Shengtang, there have been people in Hangzhou from government-run restaurants like Shocuilou to small tea sheds on the street. There is a lot of discussion, saying that Liu Cui was wronged."

"There is such a thing..."

Gu Xingzhi: "Third brother, I don't believe that the state government handles affairs, but I believe in you, third brother. You say that the murderer is Liu Cui. I have absolutely no doubts, but now that everyone is talking about money, I am not sure. Then Did Liu Cui kill Miss Wen?"

Gu Yi sighed: "Wen Yan was indeed killed by Liu Cui, it's true."

"But I've listened to people's comments these days, and I think what they say is very reasonable. Liu Cui has been the leader of the Xiangqiao Club for several years in a row. In terms of singing, dancing, piano and chess, she is indeed slightly better than Miss Wen."

Gu Xingzhi used to have a great preference for Wen Yan, so he naturally felt that Wen Yan was better than others in everything.

In the past few days, I have looked at the issue rationally and fairly, and I have been able to calmly say such unbiased words.

Gu Yi was very pleased. After this incident, the second brother had indeed grown a lot and became more stable.

Gu Xingzhi continued: "So if you say that Liu Cui killed someone because of a piece of music, the reason is too far-fetched and unconvincing."

"Second brother, I am so happy that you can think of this." Gu Yi couldn't help but patted his elder brother on the shoulder, "I thought that the second brother would be depressed for a long time because of Wen Yan's death, but I didn't expect the second brother to not only not be depressed. , but can worry about other people's worries, such a Bodhisattva heart, I am so happy..."

Gu Xingzhi smiled helplessly: "Dead people cannot be brought back to life. If the living are innocently victimized because of the dead, I think Miss Wen would not want to see this."

Gu Yi sighed slightly, the second elder brother was always so simple, although he was a bit anxious on weekdays, he was someone who didn't want to see others suffer.

It's just that the second elder brother is impatient and can't hold back his words. If he finds out the real reason why Liu Cui killed Wen Yan, it will be bad for everyone.

After thinking for a while, Gu Yi half-truthfully said: "Second brother, this case is not complicated, there are all witnesses and material evidence, and Liu Cui also admitted that she is the murderer. As for the motive of the murder, you and I may think it is because It is inconceivable that a piece of music kills people, but for Cui Niang Wenyan and others who regard music as more important than life, it is not incomprehensible to kill someone because of a peerless piece of music."

In this world, some people kill for love, some for profit, some for money...

What people want is different, and it is naturally difficult for ordinary people to understand the murderer's mind.

After hearing this, Gu Xingzhi quietly looked at Gu Yi for a few breaths, and saw that his third brother had a determined face and clear eyes, most of the doubts in his heart disappeared, and he chose to trust Gu Yi.

"It's just that the people all over the street are saying that it's impossible for Cuiniang to kill Wen Yan. This matter is indeed a bit strange." Gu Yi looked at Gu Xingzhi, "Second Brother, I'll go out for a while."

Mujia Teahouse.

In the middle is a simple table and chair, with a ruler on the table and a scholar sitting on the chair.

All around are full of people who come to listen to the storytelling of scholars.

The scholar was eloquent, and what he was telling was the story of grievances and grievances drawn from the song "Wu Ye Cry".

"Everyone, an unjust case that has been passed down by word of mouth in the streets and alleys recently is the case of Cui Niang, the oiranian of Pingkang Pavilion, killing the musician Wen Yan of Liuyifang. That Cui Niang is famous in Hangzhou, and she is so beautiful in singing and dancing. Why did she come up with a piece of music? Committing heinous crimes? What kind of fairy music is the "Wu Ye Tiao" that caused the two women to fight? What is the deep reason behind the horrific murder? Let me tell you one by one..."

The scholar talked eloquently, and told a love story that made people cry when he heard it, saying that Liu Cui killed someone to protect his sweetheart, and that "Wu Ye Cry" was originally written by Liu Cui, but in the court he claimed to be a gentle work. I killed myself to snatch the song, but I didn't want my sweetheart to know that she killed to protect him.

Everyone present covered their faces and wept, only a girl in purple asked loudly: "Who is Cuiniang's sweetheart? He deserves Cuiniang's protection?"

The scholar chuckled: "Since the beauty intends to protect each other, others will naturally not be able to know."

The girl in purple said dissatisfied: "I know you are a scholar, you have no evidence, you talk empty teeth, you only know how to follow the current hot spots and make up stories to deceive everyone."

Everyone who covered their faces and wept heard the words, and looked at the girl in purple with dissatisfaction: How can you talk to Mr. Liu!
The scholar chuckled again: "The storyteller just made up a story to make everyone cry. If the girl wants to take it seriously, she has to dig into the horns."

"I want to drill!" The purple-clothed girl's brows were a little fierce, "Miss Wen is dead, but you are here to make up a story to slander her. Aren't you afraid that the dead will linger and come to you for revenge?"

"Miss, this is too serious. Miss Wen was killed by Cuiniang. If she wanted revenge, she would go to her to avenge her. What's the matter with finding Xiaosheng?"

As the scholar said, he took out a stack of books from under the table, and yelled: "Come on, this is my exclusive large-scale love story novel - "Wu Yecry", which combines boudoir grievances, love, and suspense. For the first book release, only ten copper coins are needed for one copy, first come, first served, all judges hurry up..."

Ten pennies for a book or book, it can be said to be very cheap.

You must know that in ordinary bookstores, the cheapest book is fifty cents a piece, but Liu Fengchun's book is even more expensive, and it takes a full two hundred cents to buy a book.

When everyone heard the words, they rushed forward one by one, fearing that they would not be able to buy it.

Seeing this, the girl in purple stomped her feet angrily.

This scholar who came from nowhere, like Liu Fengchun, has the same surname as Liu, and he even calls himself Liu Yudong. These days, he has been telling the story of "Wu Yecry" in various teahouses and restaurants.

Really pissed her off!
