Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 52
[Chapter 36 (1)]
As soon as these words came out, the hall seemed to explode, and everyone looked around in confusion and directly discussed themselves: “Someone else?” “Who is
His Highness Shizi talking about?”
“Fang Cai is asking Qingzhi every word, should it be Qingzhi?”
“But Qingzhi jumped into the well and died.”
Lin Chengyou’s eyes swept away, and the hall was immediately silenced, and Yan Ji directly dipped his pen in ink and waited for Ge Jian to open his mouth.
Ge Jian’s thoughts still lingered on Lin Chengyou’s words, and he tightened his clothes and asked in horror, “Wasn’t it Wei Zi who did it?” So why did her tassel fall under my bed?
Lin Chengyou said, “On the day of the accident, you were sick with wind and cold and unwell, and you rested earlier than usual, Qingzhi is your personal maid, where was she when you were disfigured by the ‘powerful ghost’?” Ge Jian’s
face was unpredictable: “She told me in the afternoon that an old acquaintance came to look for her and made an appointment to go out for a walk in the evening.” I saw that she was quite diligent at that time, so I allowed it. She gave my soup medicine to Green Lotus and left at about the beginning of the hour. Then I went out to the appointment, because I was unwell and came back early, at that time it was about the end of the hour, Qingzhi was indeed not in the room, it was Green Lotus who served me to rest. “So she wasn’t
with you that night?”
Ge Jian nodded dumbly.
Lin Chengyou waved at the crowd, and a certain temple visitor immediately jumped out.
Teng Yuyi looked at the multi-mouthed temple visitor he had seen in the small Buddha Hall in the evening, and remembered that this person’s name was Ah Yan.
Lin Chengyou asked Ah Yan: “You usually welcome the delivery in front of the building, if anyone outside wants to find the lady in the building, you are responsible for passing on the message?”
Ah Yan smiled and said, “That’s right, the lord’s family does not allow the lady and the maid in the building to meet privately, if anyone comes to meet, they need to first pray to the main family or the false mother.” “Did
anyone come looking for Qingzhi on the eighteenth day of last month?”
“Don’t say that on the eighteenth day of last month, since the opening of the Cai Feng Lou, the little people have not seen anyone come to find Qingzhi, but on the evening of the eighteenth, Qingzhi was out of the building, but there were too many guests that night, and the little people couldn’t figure out when she came back.”
“You can’t remember clearly, someone remembers clearly.” That night Qingzhi went out of the building alone, not only was there no man around, not even a female companion, it was not early at that time, some people felt strange, they looked at it a few more times, and as a result, Qingzhi turned around in less than an hour, and when he came back, he bought a package of cherry breasts in the side of the hu, at that time, about the end of the time, this matter had the caifeng building opposite the fruit line guy and the flag pavilion pawn old man testify. Ge Jian
listened carefully with his ears open, and his eyes widened wider and wider.
Lin Chengyou looked at Ge Jian: “Qingzhi Mingming came back at the end of the day, but you didn’t see her when you returned to the house at the end of the hour, for a whole hour, do you think about where she is hiding?” Ge Jian’s
lips trembled, “Is she hiding under my bed?” No, no, no, this is the most lazy, lied more than once, sometimes sneaked to the front hall to see the song and dance, sometimes ran to other big ladies to eat and drink, a slip is one or two hours, asked afterwards, all pretend to be deaf and dumb. I was determined to send her away, and this, every time I prostrated my head and pleaded, although I hated her very much, I also knew that she was still quite clever in her work, and I pitied her for being young, thinking that it would be better to teach and teach again. That night… That night… Maybe so. No, even if she is all kinds of bad, after all, the slave family treats her not thinly, and I can’t understand why she wants to hurt me. Calyx
and the others couldn’t help but interject, “Yes, Your Highness Shizi, Qingzhi is the big man of Ge Towel, and if Ge Towel suffers, Qingzhi will suffer the first one.” The master and servant share honor and disgrace, and there is no one who does not expect the good of the mother. “That’s
right, even if Lady Ge is disfigured, it won’t be Qingzhi’s turn to be the flower queen.” This lady was greedy and vain, and in the past she didn’t know how many good things she had received from Lady Ge, and even if she was for those benefits, she would sacrifice her life to protect her. Besides, if she had harmed Lady Ge, how could she have been okay afterwards?
“But Qingzhi had nightmares a few days ago.” A small voice sounded, “Lady Wo, they all know this.” The crowd turned
their attention to Lu He, who lived in the same room as Qingzhi.
Teng Yuyi was stunned, and that day Baozhu and Roll Pear also said this.
Wo Ji bowed to Lin Chengyou and said, “The slave family once told His Highness the Prince of the World, Qingzhi began to have nightmares about seven or eight days ago, only saying that there were ghosts who wanted to arrest her, and she was restless all night, and when she woke up, she asked her why she was the original, but she refused to say a word.”
He Mingsheng “aggressively” said: “Ge Jian was disfigured on the eighteenth day of last month, and Qingzhi should have started to have nightmares last month, so why did he have a seizure seven or eight days ago?” Shizi, Qingzhi serves Ge Towel every day, and if she dares to pretend to be a ghost, she will be heard by Ge Towel as soon as she opens her mouth. “What’s
the rush? I haven’t finished my words yet. “Lin Chengyou returned to the table and asked people to present a package of things,” Qingzhi seemed to like to eat cherry preserved, on the day of her death, Yan Jizhi had searched for a bag of uneaten cherry preserved cherries in her room. Opening
the bag, the sour smell suddenly filled the air.
Lin Chengyou knocked on the table: “Where is the holding bead?”
Baozhu timidly stood up from the crowd and gave a salute: “I have seen Shizi.” “When
did you bump into Qingzhi eating this thing?”
“I can’t remember exactly what day it was, but it should be that shortly after Lady Ge was injured, when the slave family pushed the door in, Qingzhi was about to stuff the bag of cherry breasts back under the pillow, and as a result, she accidentally fell to the ground, and the cherry breasts spilled some, and the slave family glimpsed a lot of pearls and jade objects hidden underneath.”
Calyx Ji was stunned: “Baozhu, will you read it wrong, Qingzhi a rough mane, where is the pearl jade object?” Baozhu
bit her lip and shook her head, indicating that she had not misread it.
Lin Chengyou picked up the bamboo basket in the tooth barrel and stirred it under the cherry in public, and suddenly inserted it to the bottom, obviously there was no hidden object underneath.
“As you can see, there is nothing here but the stinking cherry breasts, Qingzhi is so greedy, baba bought cherry dried and came back, how can he not eat it when he is sloppy?” So Baozhu is not wrong, this thing is used to cover people’s ears, but a few days ago, Yanji directly led people to search down, there is not a single valuable piece of jewelry in the Qingzhi room, which is strange, where did those objects go? Wu
Dao heard this and finally couldn’t resist: “Did someone take away the things in her room after Qingzhi died?” The old man said well, Qingzhi was by no means committing suicide, the murderer killed Qingzhi, and he was afraid of exposing his horse’s feet, so he was anxious to cover up the traces.
Lin Chengyou said slowly, “Regardless of how Qingzhi died, judging from the fact that Lady Ge Zi found Wei Zi’s treasure under the bed, someone not only ruined Lady Ge Zi’s appearance, but also wanted to blame Wei Zi Lady’s body.” As several false mothers said, Ge Jian was disfigured, Qingzhi would only suffer, and Qingzhi was willing to betray her Duzhi Lady, presumably because someone promised her greater benefits. Therefore, Qingzhi was obviously lazy, but that day he offered to clean the room. She pretended to inadvertently find the Treasure under the Bed, causing Lady Ge to mistakenly believe that Lady Wei Zi was the murderer. The
hall roared, the meaning of these words was understood by everyone, and it was probably not only Qingzhi who murdered Ge Jian, Qingzhi was in the light, and that person was in the dark.
Teng Yuyi poured himself a cup of cane syrup, a good plan of killing two birds with one stone, and at the same time, he got rid of Ge Jian and Wei Zi, and only that one person could make a profit.
She looked at the man through the upper edge of the cup, but the man’s face was nothing, and she didn’t know whether she was ashamed or if lin Chengyou couldn’t find her head.
Lin Chengyou laughed sarcastically: “Unfortunately, Qingzhi died soon, there is no proof of this matter, if you want to find out the original reason, you have to investigate from the beginning.” Fang Cai AYan said that Qingzhi went out of the building three times a month, but maids like Qingzhi were often busy until the evening to have the opportunity to go out of the building, when the door of Pingkang Fang had been closed, and at most it was a turn in the workshop. I didn’t know where Qingzhi was going to spend time, so I had to put the shops and wineries in Pingkang FangAfter walking around, fortunately, this search allowed me to find some good things.
He picked up a pile of bills on the bill: “Every time Qingzhi goes out of the building, there are probably three things: 1. Buying wine and food; 2. Entrusting people to inquire about the news; 3. Occasionally, I also go to the attached shop to make things. The attached shop was in PingkangFang, and Qingzhi had worked as four objects.
“The first time was a silver wire arm, the second time was a coral ear bell, and the third time it was a silver hook. Because each time there is a lack of another one, the owner of the sending shop guessed that the source of the thing is unknown, but it is willing to collect, but it is only willing to give Qingzhi one or two hundred dollars, and Qingzhi does not counteroffer, laughing and giggling and accepting the money. The
acquaintances were shocked to hear it: “It turned out that the few pieces of jewelry we lost were stolen by Qingzhi, this’s look foolish, in fact, he will calculate, these jewelry are not very eye-catching, and when we realize that we have passed for a long time, we can no longer doubt her.”
Lin Chengyou drew one from the pile of notes at hand: “The fourth time Qingzhi has grown, when it is a four-butterfly bead step shake, this is the most expensive jewelry she has ever stolen, and the owner of the shop gave Qingzhi two taels of money for the first time.” But strangely, Qingzhi ransomed it a few days later, and after that, she never went to be anything again.
Teng Yuyi’s gaze must be certain, this is really interesting, since it was stolen to sell, why did it redeem it?
Lin Chengyou said, “This matter is intriguing, I asked the owner of the shop to draw the step shake in the same way, and you can see whose jewelry this is.”
He Mingsheng and several false mothers looked closely, and the step was similar to a peony, with a red color, and four butterflies next to the flowers, decorated with silver powder.
“Oh, isn’t this Yao Huang’s step shake?” Wo Ji waved at Yao Huang, “Come and see for yourself.”
Teng Yuyi looked at Yao Huang, even if she was temporarily called up at night, she was also like a thick cloud, the color was like a spring peach, and the nepotism was not messy.
Yao Huang walked to the front of the case and leaned over to look at the painting, but he did not answer for a long time.
Lin Chengyou looked at Yao Huang, and a smile appeared on his lips: “Is it yours?” Yao Huang’s
eyelashes fluttered: “Yes, it is from the slave family.” Her voice was
gentle and pleasant, and she was as delicate as a yellow warbler out of the valley.
Calyx and Wo Ji nodded their heads to testify, “Can’t be wrong, last year Ning Amber’s Grand Duke Wei gave it to Yao Huang’s wife, Grand Duke Shan Danqing of Wei, who was drunk that day and personally drew a pattern for sending to the jewelry shop, Chang’an City could not find a second one.”
Lin Chengyou was about to open his mouth when several officials returned from the backyard with their false mother.
“Finished searching?” Lin Chengyou asked.
“Finished searching.” The official hurriedly approached with a fang, “The step shake is put in the mirror table of Lady Yao Huang.” “There’s
labor.” Lin Chengyou said to several officials, picked up the step shake and compared it with the painting, confirming that it was the same piece.
“Guess how much Qingzhi spent on redeeming this step.” Lin Chengyou turned his steps and said lazily, “Enough gold.” Everyone
was amazed, and it wasn’t a small amount.
“Qingzhi returned to Zhao and put it back into Yao Huangniang’s mirror table, not to mention where she got a piece of gold, but to say that she stole something so hard, why are you willing to return it?”
Yao Huang’s face was calm: “Shizi asked people to search the slave’s room, it was originally to find this?” The slave family didn’t even know how to answer your question if this step shake had been lost. Lin Chengyou got up from behind the case and said leisurely: “There
are only two possibilities for thieves to steal things and return them: first, voluntarily; The second is forced. Whether Qingzhi was voluntarily or forced, from the time she dropped this thing to redeemed, something unusual must have happened in just a few days, Qingzhi and you reached some kind of tacit understanding, she returned the thing to you, and you helped her hide it.
Yao Huang pressed a fan against his lips and laughed softly, “Shizi can really laugh.” The slave family and Qingzhi Su have no friendship, if it were not for her falling into the well and dying, the slave family still can’t remember her name, this lady is crazy, stole the slave family’s things and redeemed it, I think it is to learn that this step shake is not an ordinary jewelry, afraid that after the incident will be beaten to death, it is not strange to be scared to redeem it quickly. As for the gold, it was uncertain where she had stolen it.
Lin Chengyou looked up and thought, “There is some truth to that, just because she stole something and returned it, it really doesn’t prove anything.” So Yan Jizhi and I went to the opposite fruit shop to inquire who had bought cherry dried cherries in the past two months, and the store said that the lady with the head face in CaiFeng Lou never came out to buy it herself, and if she wanted to eat something, she only needed to let people send a note out, and they would be wrapped up and sent to the building. Yan Ji and I asked the store to take out the previous purchase list and found that you had bought a large bag of cherry preserved cherries last month.
Yao Huang ate and laughed lightly: “What happened to the slave family eating cherry preserved cherries?” This thing is strange everywhere in the streets, and not only Qingzhi can eat it.
“But the list is clear, you have only bought the cherry in the past six months.”
Yao Huang was calm: “If you go back to the world, although the slave family does not like to eat sweets, there are often guests visiting the slave family, thinking which prince wants to eat cherry preserved, the slave family temporarily let people buy it.” It was all last month’s business, and the slave family remembered it. “It’s
okay.” Lin Chengyou patiently copied an account book on the case, “You can’t remember, we help you think, you bought cherry dried on the second day of the first month of last month, coincidentally in Qingzhi is this day to redeem your step shake, from that day you He boss’s account book, you said that you were sick in the room that day, and did not entertain guests, I would like to ask, who did you buy that big bag of cherry breasts for?”
Yao Huang thought for a moment with his hand on his forehead, and suddenly nodded, “The slave family remembered, I was sick that day, and somehow suddenly wanted to eat cherry preserved cherries.” The sick people have a tricky taste, and the things they used to dislike may be hungry at once, and I remember that the slave family bought back more than half that day and ate them, and even did not eat dinner.
Teng Yuyi watched from the sidelines until now, it was already full of doubts, Yao Butter and Salt did not enter, thinking that Lin Chengyou could not come up with conclusive evidence, and just by relying on these points that Lin Chengyou found, it was indeed impossible to confirm that Yao Huang had bribed Qingzhi.
Qingzhi was already dead, and asking questions like this without pain would only prompt Yao Huang to patch up his words seamlessly.
Teng Yuyi’s eyes narrowed, Lin Chengyou was used to being a cat, why would he be frightened by a mouse today.
Lin Chengyou sighed, “Thanks to me, I thought you were grateful to Qingzhi for buying her favorite cherry breasts.” According to this, Qingzhi not only did not get any benefits, but also lost a piece of gold to go in. If she is an idiot, it is not surprising that she has done so, but from the few days we have checked, Qingzhi is not only not stupid, but also a very successful person. He paused and opened
the file on the case: “On that day when Qingzhi had an accident, we called the people in the building one by one to ask questions, and when Qingzhi was mentioned, they all said different things, but some of the statements were roughly the same.”
“First, although Qingzhi is lazy and hungry, her hands and feet are sharp, and she can quickly finish all the work that cannot be pushed, and from this point of view, Qingzhi is not stupid.
“Second, she seems to have been a lot more generous lately, and she has widened before Lady Ge’s accident, not only has she stopped stealing things to the store since last month, but she often buys wine and food to eat – but Qingzhi has not met new friends, and the source of this money is unknown.
Third, Qingzhi often said that she had a sister, because she was sold to different people and lost. Qingzhi was very concerned about the whereabouts of this sister, and always thought about it on weekdays.
Wo Ji rubbed her disheveled sideburns: “Your Highness Shizi, the slave family often says that Qingzhi is confused, this has not wronged her, Where is Qingzhi’s sister, there are only ones.”There is a dead ghost sister. When the nu family bought Qingzhi from Renyazi, she was only seven years old, and the deed was clearly written, she was a Xingyang person, she was punished for the crime of Ah Ye, there was only one sister at the bottom, and her sister had already died of illness with Ah Niang when the accident occurred.
Lin Chengyou: “She not only said that she had a sister, but also said that she was a fellow villager with the concubine of the former shopkeeper, and that the concubine’s surname was Rong, and she was a Yuezhou person, and Xingyang and Yuezhou were thousands of miles apart.” ”
This crazy.” The crowd whispered, “Usually it’s a bit upside down, and it’s even more crazy.” Your Royal Highness, this’s temperament is strange, and her words cannot be true.
“But I really took her crazy words seriously.” Lin Chengyou laughed and said, “Qingzhi is fifteen years old, eight years old when she was sold, and if you want to find out if she is lying, you have to start with the person’s teeth seven years ago.” Hearing this, Yao Huang’s
expression began to rise slightly. Teng Yuyi secretly looked at Yao Huang, it turned out that Lin Chengyou was waiting here, Qingzhi had said a word in his heart, Lin Chengyou actually went along with the vine to find out.
Who knows that Lin Chengyou’s words turned sharply: “Let’s not talk about the matter of human teeth, but when it comes to the night that Lady Ge was disfigured, there are two biggest mysteries: how did that person sneak into the room?” Why couldn’t Lady Ge hear who that person was?
“The former is easy to say, you can hide under the bed in advance, the latter does not make sense, the man shouted and scolded, Ge Jian Lady should have heard the man’s voice, but she did not hear it, this is the most incredible thing about the whole thing.”
Ge Jian answered with trepidation: “Although the slave family did not hear who it was, but the entrance to the inner courtyard was guarded every night by temple guests, and the living people could not break in, and the only people who harmed me that night were the people in the building!”
Mimi said, “Shizi, the old dao has heard that there are such good ventriloquists in the city, women can pretend to speak, men can pretend to speak, men can pretend to speak women, if that person is good at ventriloquism, it is not surprising that Lady Ge can’t hear it.”
Lin Chengyou stroked his chin: “So who is the best at ventriloquism in Cai Feng Lou?” The
faces of the crowd changed drastically, and Qi Qi set his eyes on Yao Huang. Yao Huangniang is not only good at singing, but also can learn to be an ape songbird, rarely knows and understands, never takes the cavity as a posture, learns the sound of birds and birds, and often makes the audience happy.
Before Lady Ge came, Yao Huang was expected to be a flower queen, and once the name of hua kui spread throughout Chang’an, within three years he would be able to save enough money to redeem himself.
Yao Huang looked at Lin Chengyou with a smile: “Shizi’s words are incomprehensible, the slave family knows some superficial ventriloquism, but that night the slave family and The Grand Duke of Wei of Ning Amber went to the Qujiang Lantern Viewing Society, and only returned to the city the next day, there are not a few people accompanying them, each one can testify, Shizi can find someone to ask questions that night, and the slave family is not afraid to check again.”
“You are not in the building, but Qingzhi is.” She’s responsible for hiding under the bed, and you’re responsible for staying out of it. At that time, the building was sneaky and chaotic, everyone talked about the discoloration, and Qingzhi pretended to be a ghost and scratched Ge Scarf, which was seamless. You and she even designed the joke words, ‘, dare to seduce my husband’, with this joke, even Qingzhi can pick it out. ”
Wait.” Calyx couldn’t help but say, “Your Highness Shizi, it is Yao Huang who understands ventriloquism, not Qingzhi, if it is Qingzhi’s doing, how can Ge Jian be confused?”
Lin Chengyou said, “Since Qingzhi can also ventriloquism.” Everyone
was shocked, and He Mingsheng was stunned: “Shizi, how is this possible?” If Qingzhi knows ventriloquism, someone should have known about it earlier, don’t you want to say that Yao Huang temporarily taught Qingzhi ventriloquism?
Yao Huang just smiled: “Your Highness Shizi, the most talented in ventriloquism is not blindly learnable, even if you have talent, it takes at least three years to learn to grow, the nu family and Qingzhi have not even said anything, where did this matter start.”
Lin Chengyou said, “I also want to know the origin, so I found the origins of everyone in Cai Feng Lou.” Qingzhi is from Xingyang, but claims to be the same as the Yuezhou people, I did not find that there are Xingyang people in Caifenglou, but found a person from Yuezhou, this person was sold seven years ago, the deed said that she had a sister, but unfortunately did not wait for the sale, this person’s sister died of illness.
There was silence in the hall, and several women who were familiar with Yao Huang gradually showed frightened eyes.
“This person’s grandmother was originally a musician in yuezhou province, good at singing, working pipa, good at ventriloquism, can make different sounds, and the pair of daughters under the knee have also inherited the skills of the grandmother, and they can change the timbre at a young age.” The couple, surnamed Nie, was convicted of the Li Changmao rebellion in Jiangnan seven years ago, and died in prison not long after, the youngest daughter died of illness, and the eldest daughter was also betrayed, which is now Yao Huangniangzi.
“Isn’t it a bit familiar to hear this?” Qingzhi was also sold seven years ago, the difference being that one was born in Xingyang and one was born in Yuezhou. However, Qingzhi did not admit that she had a sister, but insisted that she had a sister, and she heard that the concubine of the former shopkeeper was from Yuezhou, and she was busy saying that she and the Rong clan were fellow villagers. From this point of view, Qingzhi has never given up looking for the whereabouts of her sister, and the money she saves on weekdays is often used to entrust people to inquire about the news. The Emperor Did Not Live Up to the Hardships, just on the second day of the first month of last month, Qingzhi and his own sister recognized, and this person was Yao Huang.
Wu Dao looked at Lin Chengyou and then at Yao Huang, his eyes were bigger than the brass bell, even if Qingzhi suddenly came back from the dead, it would not shock them more than this incident.
Teng Yuyi almost knocked over the cane syrup in the cup, thinking that Yao Huang had bribed Qingzhi, but it turned out that the two were sisters. Yao Huang was beautiful and beautiful, but Qingzhi had a thick and dark complexion, putting the two together, and no one could imagine that Yao Huang was Qingzhi’s sister.
However, if you look closely, you will find that the eyebrows of the two people are indeed somewhat similar, but Yao Huang is elegant and elegant, and the other is rude, if it is not deliberately compared, it is difficult to find that the two have a hanging point.
He Mingsheng and Calyx Opened their mouths and did not know how to connect, Wo Ji swallowed spit and took the lead in breaking the silence: “Your Highness Shizi, Is Yao Huang really Qingzhi’s sister?”
Lin Chengyou sighed: “Yao Huang’s deed is clearly written, her original surname is Nie, her nickname is Ah Fu, and her sister’s name is Ah Ruo.” When yao huang was sold, Yao Huang was already ten years old, And Qingzhi was also eight years old, for the two of them, the memories of childhood had long been inscribed on the skeleton, the place of origin could not be forgotten, and the ventriloquism they had learned could not be forgotten, so even if Yao Huang niangzi was already a well-known lady in Chang’an, as long as she had the opportunity, she would still be tempted to show ventriloquism, wanting to miss her parents, and second, afraid that she had forgotten this mastery. Although Qingzhi never showed this, she was able to make a difference with her sister when she was young, even if her skills were unfamiliar in recent years, learning the voice of a middle-aged woman was not a problem.
Ge Jian screamed sharply, “Is it really you?” I have no revenge with you in the past, so why would you harm me like this!
Wei Zi was so angry that his eyebrows were upside down, and he staggered up and ran to Yao Huang: “I am good friends with you Su Ri, and it is not enough that you and QingZhi Li should have harmed Ge Jian outside, even I will not let go?” You know that I have lost the Treasure of Jing And do not dare to report to the officials, and you will not be able to argue when the time comes, but you deliberately let Qingzhi steal this thing to frame me! Although Yao Huangshang maintained
his composure, his footsteps subconsciously retreated, and Wei Zitie was determined to grab her and force her to ask, and the hall became a pot of porridge.
He Mingsheng stomped his feet: “Don’t stop them yet.”
Woji and Calyx hurriedly hugged up, and Yanji slapped the table with a calm face: “Enough! The
servants answered the promise, drew their swords and rushed into the hall, and the crowd caught a glimpse of the snow-like blade light and immediately became quiet.
Lin Chengyou and others were almost noisy, holding up the bill in her hand and slowly saying: “It is estimated that Qingzhi could not dream of it, her sister who has been looking for many years is in the Caifeng Building, she stole things to pawn, and used the silver money in exchange to inquire into the news, at first she specially picked out inconspicuous objects, several times no one noticed, so she became more and more bold, and finally stole to her sister’s head.” The bill says that she went to be a step shake on the twenty-seventh day of the first month, and redeemed it on the second day of the first month of last month, and it is estimated that it was these few days that Qingzhi accidentally found out that you were her sister.
“The autopsy found that Qingzhi had several birthmarks on her body, it was not difficult for the sisters to confirm their identity, after recognizing each other, Qingzhi took the step shake back, and you bought the cherry that you did not like to eat for Qingzhi, I guess the gold that Qingzhi used to redeem the step shake was given by you, because the step shake was created for you alone by the Grand Duke of Wei of Ning Amber, Chang’an only one, once it was lost in the street, you would soon know who the original owner was, and the Grand Duke of Wei was fighting with you fiercely, even if you did not pursue, Grand Duke Wei would also be strictly investigated, and when Qingzhi’s head was found at that time, she was bound to be unable to escape a heavy punishment.
“In order to save Qingzhi, you took the initiative to pay for her to redeem her things, and she was willing to listen to your sister’s words, and she has not stolen anything since then.”
Yao Huang sighed softly, “The Nu family didn’t even know that His Highness Shizi was so good at making up stories, one moment saying that the Nu family and Qingzhi were sisters, and the other saying that the Nu family themselves funded the redemption of Bu Yan, but in fact, I and Qingzhi have never had any contact, and everyone in Cai Feng Lou can testify.”
Lin Chengyou smiled, “Yes, no one knows about your acquaintance with Qingzhi because you have been secretly in contact.” Cai Feng Lou business is booming, as if it has become the first big brothel in Chang’an, your main family in order to attract more guests, decided to choose a flower queen from everyone’s knowledge, the days are getting closer and closer, Ge Jian has overpowered your limelight, you think about how to win day and night, helplessly have not been able to think of a good strategy, after recognizing Qingzhi’s sister, you suddenly have an idea, let her dress up as a powerful ghost to harm people, and you go to the south of the city with great fanfare with Grand Duke Wei, in order not to make people suspect Qingzhi’s head, but also let her change her voice and pretend to be a middle-aged woman.
“Therefore, although I saw early on that Ge Jian’s face was scratched by someone, I never suspected Qingzhi.” Because Ge Jian would never even be able to distinguish his own personal servants, it was Ge Jian’s testimony that made the people of Cai Feng Lou firmly believe that it was the work of a powerful ghost.
Zhongdao nodded, “That makes sense, why Qingzhi was willing to join hands with others to harm her own Duzhi Niangzi, it turned out that it was not an outsider, but her own sister.” As long as she ruins the appearance of Lady Ge and then marries Lady Wei Zi, her sister will naturally become a flower queen, and in a few years she will be able to redeem herself for the two sisters, and Qingzhi is of course willing to take this risk. “It was
done so seamlessly that no one suspected your sisters.” Lin Chengyou stomped over, “After you met, you often gave Qingzhi silver money, Qingzhi began to have a wider hand, and soon the two monsters rebelled and caused the Caifeng Building to be banned, you were afraid of the long night, you still let Qingzhi throw the stolen JingXiao treasure under the Bed, and when Ge Jian found this thing, he would suspect Wei Zi.” Yao Huang couldn’t
help but smile bitterly: “His Highness Shizi said that up to now, there is not even a single piece of evidence.” Speaking of which, it is nothing more than saying that Qingzhi is the sister of the slave family, but the deed is clearly written, although the slave family is a Yuezhou person, the sister died as early as seven years ago, and the slave family has installed a sister out of thin air, and the slave family does not dare to accept it. Lin Chengyou glanced
at her: “You are right, once Qingzhi died, there was no proof of this matter, plus it was not easy to find people’s teeth seven years ago, you have no fear.” After interrogating everyone in the building that day, Yan Jizhi and I learned that Qingzhi was stealing jewelry under the cherry, so we went to the nearby jewelry shop to inquire. Qingzhi had never bought anything before, but on the seventh day of the first month of last month, that is, shortly after she recognized you, she suddenly went to the jewelry shop in the workshop to beat a pair of golden arm jun, and ten days later she took the golden arm junk back, along with a few jewelry you gave her, and hid it under the cherry, afterwards she often took it out to play, and was bumped into by the beads, but unfortunately after Qingzhi was killed, the pair of golden arm junks were no longer found.
Yao Huangxian still looked nervous, and when he heard the last sentence, his eyebrows suddenly loosened.
Ge Jian and Wei Zi saw that their hearts were on fire, and they said indignantly: “Your Highness Shizi, everyone has been trapped in the building these days, and Yao Huang is no exception, if she really took it, the arm must still be in the building, as long as you find this thing, you are not afraid that she will not admit guilt.”
Lin Chengyou shook his head sadly: “It is said that it is banned, in fact, the guys of the kitchen division go out to buy every day, just throw things quietly into the basket, it is not difficult to take out of the building, I estimate that this pair of armworks has fallen into the hands of a certain city insider, and according to the records left by the jewelry shop, the pair of armworks have not carved a special style, Chang’an has a large population, and it is easy to find a pair of ordinary golden armwork.”
Wu Dao shouted: “I heard that the arm is not better than the jewelry next to it, the narrow is not appropriate, the thickness will slip down from the arm, so the jewelry shop has an unwritten rule, when customizing the arm must be attached to the size at the same time, Qingzhi is both a custom arm, naturally it is no exception, I see that several people in the building know different figures, or plump, or slender, the thickness of the arm must be different, Qingzhi is for whom to customize, a check will know.”
Calyx and Woji cried and laughed: “The Dao Commander said laughing, although the arm has a size, but it can be adjusted high and low, and the fat and thin of the ladies are not constant, even if it matches the size of a person’s arm, it is impossible to be sure that it is made for that person.”
Yao Huang pressed the corner of his mouth with a veil, and his face became more and more peaceful.
Teng Yuyi watched Yao Huang’s look, sitting upright for a while, her limbs began to heat up again, fortunately, after practicing swordplay, the strange power was not enough to scurry around. Strangely, so far, the Absolute Saint and the Renunciation of Wisdom have never appeared, are they still cleaning under the small Buddha Hall? Lin Chengyou was really not soft in punishing his own master and disciple.
There was nowhere to vent the fire, it was not appropriate to run out temporarily to practice the sword, since this Yao Huangya’s teeth were sharp, why not take her out of the fire?
Teng Yuyi smiled and squinted: “The two big ladies said it well, almost everyone has the golden arm, if the style is ordinary, it is difficult to recognize it just by appearance after losing it, but Qingzhi used to steal other people’s jewelry, and it is her turn to make jewelry, I think she will definitely guard against this.”
Yao Huang was embarrassed, huo ran shifted his gaze to Teng Yuyi, and he didn’t know what to think, and suddenly his face changed dramatically.
Teng Yuyi stared at Yao Huang, and the corners of his lips curved into a pleasant arc: “If I were her, I would definitely leave a special mark on the inside of the arm, so that even if something was stolen or accidentally lost, it could be retrieved immediately.” Your Highness Shizi, you have found that jewelry shop, you must have known what the mark left by Qingzhi was. When
these words came out, Lin Chengyou smiled a little, and Teng Yuyi hummed in his heart, he really knew it long ago, and he refused to say it for a long time, but he had not played enough cat and mouse tricks.
Lin Chengyou was not at all surprised that Teng Yuyi could guess: “The inside of one arm is engraved with ‘Nie Afu’, and the other arm is engraved with ‘Nie Afu’, Yao Huangniangzi, what did you say just now?” ‘The deed is clearly written’. Who’s named Nie Afu? Don’t you even recognize your real name? The
hall was like throwing a boulder, and suddenly set off a terrifying wave, everyone shouted in surprise, countless eyes shot at Yao Huang in a messy way, And Calyx and Wo Ji were shocked: “Yao Huang? Is it really you?
Yao Huang bit his lower lip deadly, and his face became as ugly as the gray cloth.
Lin Chengyou paced with his hands in his hands: “You expected everything, but you didn’t expect that Qingzhi would lay down this pair of golden arms behind your back, although you found this object in her room afterwards, but because you were anxious to clean up the evidence, you didn’t carefully examine the inscription inside the arm.”
“I think the reason why Qingzhi made such a pair of arms is to commemorate the reunion of your sisters, she is a person who refuses to forget her roots, as can be seen from her insistence on saying that she is a Yuezhou person.” She hoped that you could redeem the two of them, so everything was done according to what you said, you let her destroy Ge Towel’s appearance, she destroyed Ge Towel’s appearance, you let her marry Wei Zi, she married Wei Zi. You think she is useless, ask her to go to the well in the backyard to talk, she does not doubt that there is him, even if you push into the well do not dare to shout for help. Because of this, we were in the small Buddhist hall not far away at the time of the incident, but we did not hear a single movement. ”
No!” Yao Huang looked up violently, “Ah Ruo was not harmed by me, I was separated from her for seven years, it was not easy to recognize her, and how could I be willing to harm her.” Miten
and the others shouted, “Wow, you’re finally willing to admit that she’s your sister!” “A
person like a flower, the means are so vicious, it is not enough to harm two women, even his own sister can do it.”
Yao Huang slumped to the ground, and tears poured out in an instant: “No, no, Ah Ruo is not harmed by me.” ”
She hurriedly raised her head and crawled on her knees towards Lin Chengyou’s feet: “Your Highness Shizi, I have nothing to hide from now, you are right, those things were done by me, the method is just like you said, first harm Ge Jian and disfigure, and then take the opportunity to marry Wei Zi.” I have long wanted to get out of this cage, and after I recognized Ah Ruo, I thought about redeeming myself for the two of them day and night, Hua Kui is different from the usual Du zhi Niang, the rewards saved in a year are innumerable, if you want to escape from the bitter sea, this is the fastest way, all the People in Pingkang Fang know the Niangzi, there is no one who does not want to be a Hua Kui. But once I missed this time, the next time would be three years later, and three years later I was in my early twenties, and when the warbler was dead, I had no hope of winning.
Lin Chengyou sighed, “It turns out that a person’s ambition depends on harming people to achieve it, did you ever think that it would ruin her life when you destroyed Ge Jian’s appearance?” Planted Wei Zi
