"The tongue in the mouth of the black python, and the needle in the tail of the hornet. Both are not poisonous, but the most poisonous to a woman's heart. My concubine is Han Qing'e, a native of Huangfeng County, Black Python Mansion, and she is only nine years old. Bright and upright, he is a grand thief who robs the rich and helps the poor. The month before last..."

Pan Ziyun's new work is called "Women's Heart", which is no longer the first draft, it has been neatly transcribed.Ji Shuliu pulled Qin Songfeng over and sat on the edge of the bed with him to watch.

Han Qing'e who read the song "The Most Poisonous Woman's Heart" as the opening confession is Zhengdan in the play. In the wedge, she will shrink alone in the corner of the stage, watching her father's crisis without moving.

Her father, Han Gao, was tied up all over his body and wept bitterly, but begged to save him from death.It turned out that he heard that a certain person was very stingy and wanted to play tricks on him, so he stole the extremely precious treasure from that person, and even left a message to mock him, and the owner of the clinker was actually mad at him to death.

Those who tied Han Gao up were a group of Jianghu heroes who fought for righteousness and punished traitors, all of them belonged to a gang called Chivalrous Society.The gang leader, surnamed Guan, was young and vigorous, and took the lead in loudly reprimanding Han Gao for what he had done, saying that although the owner was stingy, he had never done anything wrong, and that he had helped the victims of the famine a few years ago, so he died unjustly.

Han Gao admitted that his crimes were serious, but he didn't know that the owner's temper was so violent that he was so angry that his life was unintentional, so he begged all the heroes to let him live.

The big thief argued with the big heroes for several rounds. In the end, the heroes thought that he had been stealing for many years before killing people. He was called a big thief in vain. He had never heard of any chivalrous deeds. Emulate.After the heroes retreated, Han Qing'e ran out, called "Daddy", and wept bitterly while touching the corpse.

So far the wedge is over.

Just when it was time to turn the page, Ji Shuliu groaned across the page, "What Brother Pan wrote this time is true, right? Whose business is it? Han Qing'e, E Qinghan, Han Gao, Gao Han..."

Qin Songfeng held him down: "Don't read it, this happened four or fifty years ago. The Chivalrous Society is the Heaven's Punishment Sect, the Gang Leader Guan is the Shangguan Judgment, and Han Gao is the Grand Thief Gao Han." Before he came, he deliberately inquired about the Heaven's Punishment Sect. Therefore, although Gao Han, who calls himself a grand thief, is just an unknown thief, he is still familiar with the ins and outs.

Ji Shuliu frowned: "It's no big deal for us people in the Jianghu to steal something. After all, Gao Han didn't intend to make people angry, and he repented in the end. Why does the Heaven's Punishment Sect insist on his life?"

Qin Songfeng said: "It's a long story. Back then, the owner was surprisingly stingy. He locked all the money in the cellar, and his own son was not allowed to use it. The whole family didn't buy new clothes for more than ten years. They patched like beggars. He was reluctant to eat meat dishes. The owner’s only hobby in his life was to buy a finely crafted treasure every few years, lock it in a secret room that only he can enter with dozens of locks, and get into the secret room to play when he has time. , and then sell it after playing enough. The villagers have always looked down on him.

"After discovering that the treasure was stolen by Gao Han, the owner didn't die of anger immediately. At first, he just dizzy and vomited blood. If you are sick from anger, what can the villagers say?"

Ji Shuliu said: "Spoken words."

"That's right." Qin Songfeng said, "Later, this man died of illness, and the villagers didn't sympathize with him. They just took it as a joke."

Ji Shuliu blinked: "But the Heaven's Punishment Sect sympathizes with him?"

Qin Songfeng said: "The Heaven's Punishment Sect always speaks for the dead. They feel that the dead can't justify themselves. The owner has died in an unreasonable disaster. It's too much for others to hold him for such a trivial matter as being stingy. So at the beginning They were not in a hurry to catch Gao Han, but instead checked the life of the deceased, and finally found out that the deceased had done a good deed to help the victims ten years ago. Although the donation was not much, it was rare for such a stingy person.

"But when the news spread, it didn't restore the owner's reputation. Instead, the villagers laughed at him for donating too little. The Heaven's Punishment Sect felt righteous indignation, and it was impossible to take action to punish these ordinary people. They could only vent their anger on Gao Han."

Ji Shuliu unconsciously twisted the pages of the book in his hand: "Actually, the thoughts of the Heaven's Punishment Sect are not unreasonable, but they should not vent their anger.... I understand that they are just a group of cynical ordinary people, how can they be completely fair."

"Let's turn it back," Qin Songfeng urged, "The truth about the sudden disappearance of the Heaven's Punishment Sect probably falls on Gao Han's daughter. Han Qing'e, who should it be?"

The old stories in the wedge have been turned over, and in the first fold on the next page, Qing'e has grown up, learned exquisite sword skills, and married the "Guan Gangzhu" who was once high-spirited.

It's like... the Yanshan faction Qiu Fengqing married Shangguan Ping, right?

Both Ji and Qin raised their heads from the pages of the paper, looked at each other, and then turned their gazes back to the script.Pan Ziyun's not-so-delicate, but always emotional words quickly passed before their eyes.

"My father is a chivalrous man, and I am also a chivalrous woman. I have shared my grievances and grievances, and I have traveled alone." Qing'e in the play has been running around with all the chivalrous men since she married into the chivalrous society, sharing joys and sorrows , side by side bathed in blood, everyone in the meeting praised her as "a heroic woman full of courage, a life-and-death brother in skirts and hairpins".

She killed many gangsters who were on the wrong side, and saved many young and old who were bullied.In the dead of night, she often hides in the dark and confides to her late father that she is now a hero, far better than her father was back then.

Until one day, chivalry will track down a group of pirates who robbed women, and take a boat to the island they occupy.After a series of beatings and killings, all the pirates were wiped out, but the dozens of innocent women who were rescued made the heroes embarrassed.It turned out that they came from the hometown of etiquette and enlightenment. For a hundred years, they have never been a daughter of infidelity or a married woman. If they are sent home, they can only wash away their shame by committing suicide—even if they refuse to commit suicide, someone will help them. They kill themselves.

Ji Shuliu said softly: "Sea Breeze Village, Jiefu Village. No wonder the old monk said that many women who disappeared in Jiefu Village did not even find their bones. As the name suggests, the real nest of Haifeng Village is of course in the sea."

Those who really wanted to be virgins and martyrs died when they were taken away. The rescued women didn't want to die. They knelt in front of the heroes and cried and begged. As long as they don't send them home, they would rather be slaves in this life. As a maidservant, I will repay you in the next life with grass and a ring.

In addition to the leader of the chivalrous society, there are two important figures, the older one is called Mr. Xing, and the younger one is called Mr. Shu.The young Mr. Shu felt pity for these women, but the older Mr. Xing believed that etiquette is the right way, and all heroes should only do their duty of being a chivalrous man, why bother to insult etiquette for the lives of disrespectful women It is better to send them home and let their parents and husbands decide.

What's more, a group of big men harbor these young women, and it's just that it hurts the reputation of the heroes. If the brothers can't hold back and make a big mistake, wouldn't it be difficult to deal with.

The two have their own supporters, and the leader of the gang couldn't make a decision for a while, so he let them argue.

Thus, Qing'e had waited for many years, and the opportunity arrived when she risked her life.

She first tricked her husband into going to sea for inspection for two days.Without the restraint of the leader of the gang, coupled with Qing'e pretending to be neutral, she said some subtle words to stir up the flames, and many malicious speculations gradually arose in the debate.Mr. Shu is young and energetic, and scolds Mr. Xing for his excuses of courtesy, justice and shame, but in reality he is devoid of conscience;

The rift in the Chivalrous Society deepened rapidly, and Qing'e poured another barrel of oil on the fire.

She whispered to Mr. Xing that those women made up lies behind their backs, saying that Mr. Xing failed to force-rape them, so they became angry and wanted to send them home to die.

Mr. Xing hated this group of women who were greedy for life and feared death very much. He became even more annoyed when he heard the words. Defile the body, why do you still have a face to live on?Falling into such a situation, the saviors are so tired that they criticize each other endlessly, but they still refuse to commit suicide, it is really shameless.

The humiliation was too severe, and in the middle of the night, a woman finally couldn't bear it and committed suicide secretly.Qing'e lived with them in the back mountain, she was the first to notice it, hesitated and struggled for a long time, but finally did not come out to stop it.

After the woman died, Qing'e cut off a strand of Mr. Xing's sword tassel and stuffed it into the woman's wound, then took out the dagger from the woman's hand and threw it into the nearby ditch, and left quietly.When the body was found the next day, Mr. Shu naturally believed that Mr. Xing had done it, and Mr. Xing naturally believed that Mr. Shu framed him.

An ordinary dispute has so far evolved into a life-and-death struggle.

Mr. Xing and Mr. Shu led their followers in a scuffle until they died together. Both sides thought that they were cleaning up the sect until their death.Gang leader Guan returned from the sea and saw the dead bodies of his brothers. His heart was shaken. Qing'e took the opportunity to sneak attack, and the former husband and wife were both hurt.Qing'e tells the truth, seizes the boat and escapes, leaving Gang Leader Guan on the isolated island.

In the final fold, Qing'e was the only one left to sing solo.She was drifting on the sea, and she was complacent at first, but gradually fell into a coma due to serious injuries and high fever. Sometimes she thought that she was listening to her father's chivalrous teachings, sometimes she thought that she and Guan Gangzhu were still in love with each other, and sometimes she thought that she was with the life and death brothers of the Chivalrous Society. Fight alongside.

... Sometimes he scolded a sinister woman for alienating her brother and assassinating her husband, and even witnessed an innocent and weak woman committing suicide but did nothing.

She is crazy.

The last page of the manuscript is not drama, but Xiao Jiu's handwriting.

"I tried to go to Gao Han's hometown to check. The old neighbors all said that Gao sold groceries from other places for a living. His family was poor. His theft income, except for seeking medical treatment when his deceased wife was seriously ill, should not be used for himself. In the past. The Heaven's Punishment Sect had never heard of Gao's chivalrous deeds, and killed him because of his deceitful name. Qiu Fengqing argued that his father was often anonymous in helping the poor. From today's perspective, this statement is true. In Gao's village, there are also rumors of a certain family suffering from poverty Difficulty, gold and silver from the sky, until Gao's death."

——Gao Han is actually a real grand thief.

Therefore, there is no reason for Qiu Fengqing's anger and obsession with revenge.

Tears flashed across Ji Shuliu's eyes, and he said softly: "More than 30 years ago, Qiu Fengqing was only in her early twenties, and she was called a genius. The Heaven's Punishment Sect killed her father in the name of chivalry. She not only destroyed the Heaven's Punishment Sect, but also killed her father." Ruined the chivalry of the Heaven's Punishment Sect, this revenge is really thorough."

"She also ruined herself." Qin Songfeng regretted very much, "Shangguan Judgment made a lot of achievements in martial arts back then, and half of his foot has already stepped into the realm of a master. Qiu Fengqing can lose both sides with him, even if it is a sneak attack, she should not be underestimated. If she If you didn't spend your mind on revenge, you might be able to catch up to Yuan Lei with today's achievements."

Ji Shuliu felt that this martial idiot wife was probably hopeless. He was speechless for a moment, and then said: "The ending of the Heaven's Punishment Sect is also reasonable. They take it as their mission to kill traitors and judge the world, and they all live In less than ten years, but can persist for three generations, I think right and wrong must be extremely clear in my heart, so that I can support myself to go on without leaving a way out and without expecting anything in return. People who are obsessed with black and white to the extreme will find it difficult to change After listening to the other party’s explanation, it’s the same for killing Gao Han unjustly, and it’s also the same for killing Gao Han.”

Qin Songfeng put Pan Ziyun's manuscript aside, sat back on the edge of the bed, grabbed Ji Shuliu's shoulder and said, "Don't be in a hurry. Qiu Fengqing is completely crazy. The head of Yuan failed to find out the truth back then. How did Miss Xiao know about the whereabouts of the Punishment Sect? Why did she go to Gao Han's hometown to investigate?"

"That's right." Ji Shuliu had an idea, "Shangguan Judgment was only left on the island after being seriously injured, and he didn't die. Although the Heaven's Punishment Sect has killed each other, there are still many women who were taken away from Jiefu Village. Could it be that Shangguan married them all and gave birth to many children on the island, so Miss Xiao is called Xiao Jiu, which means that there are already eight of them..." He couldn't help laughing, it is not uncommon for wives and concubines to be full of children and grandchildren , but it is inexplicably funny to connect it with the legendary Shangguan who is stern and selfless.

Qin Songfeng also laughed: "Heavenly Punishment sends hundreds of people, even if they kill each other, it is impossible for Shangguan to die. But when Brother Pan wrote the play, he had to consider that the stage is so big that it can't hold too many people." .”

"That's right, ma'am, you're so smart." Ji Shuliu nodded.

Qin Songfeng said again: "In addition to the head of the Heaven's Punishment Sect, there are also two 'officials' who are the biggest, one is in charge of punishment, and the other is in charge of books. Before disappearing, the person in charge of punishment was Mrs. Song's son Song Gang; the person in charge was Peng Gu. Ru is very young, because he needs to be able to read and write, and other people are not very literate."

"So...Song Gang is Mr. Xing, and Peng Guru is Mr. Shu, have they all died together?" Ji Shuliu realized by himself, "No, Song Gang is still alive, that's why he sent Bai directly to Mrs. Song in the middle of the night. Could it be that Bai Zhi was born by Song Gang and a woman from Jiefu Village? Strange, according to the meaning in the play, when Song Gang insisted on letting those women go home to die, and even forced one to death by cursing, how could any woman want him."

Qin Songfeng said: "Actually, I think that Song Gang and Peng Guru are both high-ranking people, and they would not be so impulsive. Mr. Xing and Mr. Shu who killed each other may just be the subordinates who are in charge of punishment and writing."

"Then the matter is very clear." Ji Shuliu patted Qin Songfeng's thigh, and touched Qin Songfeng's thigh impromptuly. I also had a lot of doubts about the chivalry that I believed in in the past, and I no longer have the intention to travel in the rivers and lakes, and finally stayed on that island, and lived with the women in Jiefu Village to this day. Baizhi and Miss Xiao are both descendants of the Heavenly Punishment Sect."

Qin Songfeng suddenly laughed: "We are so stupid. Brother Pan wrote a play, but Miss Xiao told Brother Pan the truth. When Brother Pan comes back, ask him and he will understand everything." He stretched out his hand to pinch Ji Shuliu's wrist, as if he wanted to avenge the touch just now.

Seeing that he did not act lightly, Ji Shuliu immediately fled to the door, opened the door a crack and looked at the sky: "That's right, Brother Pan, why hasn't he come back."

Qin Songfeng smiled and didn't chase him. Ji Shuliu stayed vigilantly at the door for a moment to confirm that his wife had no intention of continuing to do anything, and then returned to the bed in peace.

Everything looked the same as usual, but the two of them waited for lunch, and Pan Ziyun still didn't come back.

Pan Ziyun is going to visit Xi Yuanyuan, there is always endless talk between husband and wife who are parting from life and death, so it is inevitable to delay for a while.But now it's cold and freezing, staying in the wilderness for a few hours is quite difficult even for martial arts masters, and since Pan Ziyun and Ji Qin gradually became friends, it has been a long time since Pan Ziyun has done such a hurtful thing.

Ji Shuliu felt a little uneasy, and dragged Qin Songfeng out of the town to check on Xi Yuan's grave.
