Chapter 354 A ray of dawn

Wang Hua raised his head and looked towards the courtyard to the west. It was also a small building with a young girl standing in the corridor outside the building.It's a little far away, and under the dim moonlight, I can't see clearly.She was only seen wearing a white nightgown.If they are like ghosts, they are at most like a group of black phantoms, but she is more like a white phantom.

Even if there are ghosts, it will scare you, Wang Hua slandered in his heart.

He took Bai Ting's hand and immediately led two guards, ran to the bottom of the bamboo bush, behind the bamboo bush was a neem tree, which grew zigzagging.He whispered to Bai Ting: "Hurry up and lie on my back."

Several people climbed up to the top of the courtyard wall by the branches of the neem tree, climbed over, climbed over the courtyard wall, and it was the blind spot of the girl's sight.

Following the courtyard wall, the cat bent its waist and quickly returned to the courtyard wall of Xiaheyuan, climbed into Xiaheyuan again by the shadow of the locust tree, and then took advantage of the moon to hide in the clouds and climbed to the top of the building.

Although he didn't meet any evil spirits, but because of the girl's yelling, this trip made Bai Ting feel thrilled.

A few people went upstairs, and the girl's cry alarmed many people, and several courtyards were lit up. Even so, no one dared to lie on the gate of the small courtyard they had just been to and watch.But no matter what, it is right to come back immediately. Now that people are awakened, it will be more difficult for them to come back. If they are seen by others, it will be difficult to explain.

Neither Li Chongjun nor Li Hong fell asleep. After seeing Wang Hua and the others come back, Li Chongjun asked, "Xueshi Wang, did you find anything?"

Wang Hua shook his head.

Everyone has known this for a long time. First, they don't know what it looks like. Second, someone has searched for it many times, and even used some unconventional methods to force the Liu family to question.Wang Hua went looking for it like this, undoubtedly fishing for the moon in the water, but everyone was still a little disappointed.

Wang Hua looked at their expressions, smiled slightly, and said, "But it's not without gains if we go."

Hearing this, Bai Ting's eyes flashed with doubts.

Wang Hua let them enter the room, anyway, the girl's shout woke up many people.He lit the lamp, but asked Bai Ting, "Who is that screaming woman?"

Bai Ting replied: "Her name is Yuxuan."

They are all girls from the workshop, even though they are not close friends, Bai Ting can still hear her voice, besides, the yard belongs to this Bai Xuan.But a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, and she said, "Ambassador Wang, are you suspicious of her?"

Yuxuan hadn't screamed when some phantoms appeared in the yard before, but just as they went to check, Yuxuan came out and screamed loudly.Even Bai Ting became suspicious.

Wang Hua pondered and said: "Not necessarily, maybe it's a coincidence, but the possibility of disgust is not ruled out. If it was done deliberately, we have to be careful."

After finishing speaking, he took a pen and drew on the paper while saying, "Bai Ting, tell me about this Yuxuan."

Bai Ting thought for a while, and then said: "This Yuxuan entered Qiufei Baiyufang from seven or eight. She looks lovely. So the old bustards in the workshop carefully trained her. Later, she became more and more popular. But she is not the most beautiful lady in the workshop, and she is reluctant to be ranked in the top class. Therefore, Liu Yun had an accident later, She asked to move out because she was afraid, but the management in the workshop did not agree. As for who she has close contacts with. I haven’t heard of it, maybe there is, but I don’t know her very well, so I didn’t hear it.”

Having said that, her voice lowered.The fans in the workshop turned to Qin Muchu, relying on benefactors for food, today Zhang San, tomorrow Li Si, she is the one who has suspicions, who knows who she is connected with?And as a girl of the younger generation, the contacts are all big shots.But when she said this, she was a little ashamed.

"How is her relationship with Liu Yun?"

"not good."

"Why so sure?"

"So after Liu Yun came to the workshop, she became very popular, so she was a little jealous, and she once deliberately made trouble for Liu Yun. It was the maid next to Liu Yun who refuted it." When Bai Ting said this, she Said: "On the contrary, Liu Yun has not been in the workshop for long, and her good sisters are not even as many as the two maids around her. But there is one, Yu Ling, who is very speculative with her. This time Liu Yun died suddenly, and Yu Ling In arranging her funeral, she also made great efforts, and she was also very sad."

"Who is Yuling?"

"She is one of the three most popular ladies in the workshop."

"The three most popular ladies?"

"Miss Yuping, she is as delicate and beautiful as a flower. At the same time, she is versatile. She is good at poetry, qin, calligraphy and painting. She is a nobleman. Yuqing, who is half of the barbarian blood, looks equally gorgeous. She is the best at playing the pipa, and no one listens to her." Don't cry for it. She is also a Qing Dynasty official. There is also this Yu Ling, who is from the north, and Yu Xuan is the best sword dancer in the hall. But her appearance is better than Yu Xuan. She is also a Qing Dynasty official. But All three of these people have some close friends, so it might not be true that they are from Qingguan.” At this point, Bai Ting suddenly stopped and stopped talking, it was talking about other people's good and bad behind their backs, which is not very good.

But Wang Hua got another piece of information, that is Yu Xuanshan's long sword dance.But it cannot be said now.

He put down the pen, clapped his hands and said, "I've finished the drawing, come and see."

What he drew were two pictures, one was the topographic map of Liu Yun's other courtyard, this one was not very useful, Wang Hua's drawing was also very simple, and the other was a schematic diagram of Liu Yun's small building.This drawing is very detailed.

Wang Hua said: "This is the small building where Liu Yun lived. There are three rooms downstairs, the largest one in the middle is the living room. There is also a wing room on the east side, which contains some simple kitchen equipment, and some sundries are piled up in front of the floor. The one on the west and the second upstairs on the east are spare rooms."

The so-called spare room is the room where these women stay in the guest's room when they encounter unexpected situations when entertaining a large group of visitors.But it is rarely used. Generally, since you stay overnight, you know what the ultimate goal is without saying it.Because they live in their own rooms, or let the maids serve the guests.Unless she is a courtesan, but Qiu Fei Baiyu Fang coveted Liu Yun's appearance and spent a huge sum of three hundred yuan to buy Liu Yun. It is impossible for her to become a courtesan and slowly cultivate her reputation, and Liu Yun came in. , the age has reached 16 years old.The workshop can't wait.Or there are other reasons that Wang Hua doesn't know.

But the point of the question he mentioned has nothing to do with this, and he said: "Then there are four rooms on the upper floor, the two rooms on the west are for two maidservants, and a spare room is the eastmost room, which is the willow house. Yun’s own room. But I saw one thing, that is the stairs. Because of the spaciousness of the living room, the balcony was opened on the west side of the living room, leading to the upper part of the second floor, which happened to be in the middle of the rooms of the two maidservants. And because the area of ​​the building is small, the design of the stairs is a little narrow. It doesn't matter during the day, but it will be different in the dead of night. Bai Ting, I believe you have some influence tonight. We walked on tiptoe, and there were some empty noises. Not to mention carrying a water bag upstairs. Or use a rope to hang the water bag up. But everyone has also seen that because of the sun, all the windows on the south side of the second floor are open. Of course, maybe from the front of the spare room, you can hide it Their sight, but doing so is very risky. Even if the people inside can’t see it, people outside will be able to see it clearly when standing on the corridor balcony. This is a very heavy water bag, and it takes time to carry it up .Believe that the enemy cannot be so stupid as this, and will not take this risk. Rather than doing this, it is better not to indulge the situation."

Hearing what he said, everyone didn't understand again. The water bag can't explain it. Could it be that the river god really killed people?
Wang Hua smiled and said, "Everyone, what I mean is that I made some mistakes in my judgment."

On the surface, he admits his mistakes, but that's not the case. If he makes a mistake in his judgment, he will follow this wrong judgment and reason in the future, and he will be further and further away from the truth.

"Of course, there are other discoveries, but they haven't been verified accurately yet." Speaking of this, Wang Hua sat down and asked Bai Ting, "How does Miss Bai Ting treat the painter?"

"Back to Ambassador Wang, I know a little bit, but I can't draw well."

"That's good. When you saw Liu Yun for the last time, draw the layout of Liu Yun's room."

Bai Ting thought about it for a while, started to draw on the paper, and then re-drawn after finishing the drawing, finally said: "It's about like this."

This is also normal. Not everyone is a genius. If you remember it unintentionally or deliberately, the impact in your mind will not be very deep, and many days will pass.Wang Hua didn't blame him either.He looks at the painting.

Compared with this painting, what they saw in Liu Yun's room tonight was only one bed, and it was also different from the bed in the painting. The bed in the painting was a little smaller, and the bed they saw was much larger.Wang Hua pointed to the bed and asked, "Why is this bed different?"

He also thought that Bai Ting had made a mistake in his memory, or he hadn't grasped the size of the picture well.

"It turns out that the things Liu Yun used, and the things she brought, besides a piece of gold and silver jewelry for the bustards to take down, there are also some books that she reads with her, some calligraphy and paintings, and a Yaoqin, all in Yuling And with the help of her fiancé, they were buried together."

"She still has a fiancé?" Wang Hua asked in surprise.This news, his intelligence did not get.

"It's not really her fiancé either. Because her eldest brother is determined to be a Jinshi, so he has never been married. As a result, her second brother's affairs with her have also been delayed."

Wang Hua nodded. This is a strange phenomenon nowadays. Generally, if the elder brother or elder sister of a decent person is not married, the younger siblings are not allowed to get married.Just like his third sister, who was engaged to Yan Tingzhi, but if he didn't get married for a day, his third sister would never get married either.

"However, we have agreed on a family from Xiama Town, a disciple of an honest family. The family has a few fertile fields, some tenants and more than a dozen slaves. It is not considered a real rich family, but it is also a well-off family. This family was named Hua, and the person who discussed marriage with Liu Yun was San Lang of the Hua family, who was also a scholar. Later, when the owner of Liu Bo and his wife passed away, the Hua family sent someone to help. But since her eldest brother was killed, the two After my brother sold her to the brothel, the Sanlang of the Hua family even came to Qiufei Baiyufang to beg. Later, his father sent someone to forcibly drag her back."

Having said that, let out a sigh.He also sighed for his life experience.

It's not easy for Wang Hua to say anything, although the social atmosphere is open now, but he has fallen into prostitution, and he is not a nobleman, and ordinary people can't bear such a reputation.

It's just that Li Hong and Mu Zili held Wang Hua's elbow tightly, and they felt extremely lucky in their hearts.Although they are true Qing people, they can stay in the place of fireworks for a long time, and it is impossible to escape cleanly in the end.Even Muzili is the same. Where will a lonely and weak woman end up?
"But the Sanlang of the Hua family is also affectionate and righteous. Although he has never been close to Liu Yun, after her death, regardless of the opposition of his family, he took the initiative to come to Qiufei Baiyufang to restrain her." Said Here, she felt a sense of loss.

Then she said: "Other worthless things, all of them were burned in the workshop, including the bed she used. Now this bed was used by Yulian."

After hearing this, Wang Hua looked at the picture she drew. In addition to the bed, there were several boxes, a wardrobe, and a bookshelf. There were a few books on the bookshelf, and a tea table with a few glasses on it. Cups, glasses are still a rare thing these days.A few low chairs, and a picture on the wall.This is the second time Bai Ting has painted it, and it should be very close to the layout in Liu Yun's room at that time.

It was a very ordinary boudoir, but Wang Hua always felt that something was wrong. He pointed to the painting and said, "Miss Baiting, do you remember what this painting is?"

Bai Ting nodded and said: "I remember, there is a very ordinary landscape painting on it, and there is also a poem by Ruan Ji, I heard that Dongling melons are near outside the Qingmen Gate. The distance between the fence and the rice paddies, the child and the mother are connected. Asahi, the guests will meet everywhere. Tuition fees will be tormented, and a lot of money will be a disaster. Common people can live for life, so how can we rely on favor?"

Although this poem was written by Ruan Ji, it is just an ordinary poem, not very well written.

Wang Hua pondered for a moment and asked, "But this ordinary painting and poem, Bai Ting, don't you think it's a bit strange that Liu Yun only has this painting hanging in her room?"

Hearing Wang Hua's mention, Bai Ting felt a little weird, but she immediately said: "But when I was helping her calm down later, this painting was also seen by others, and it was hung on the wall. Make it obvious."

"That's not the reason," Wang Hua said with a smile on his face, and he already felt a ray of dawn in front of him.

Bai Ting is also an intelligent woman, when she saw Wang Hua's expression, she probably guessed some of his thoughts.She stammered, "But those things were buried together."

If you want to get it, you have to rob the tomb. It's fine to visit the haunted house at night, but rob the tomb?Bai Ting couldn't help laughing.
