Tongzhuang

At dusk, the sky was dark and snow was about to fall, and the howling wind blew the curtains around.

Upstairs in Piaoxiang, the hanging lanterns gave off a dim yellow light, Mr. Inspector was dressed in a neat official uniform, sitting alone at the table.

There were footsteps on the stairs.Several well-dressed servants escorted an old man upstairs.

Under the dim light, the steady steps, the elegant demeanor, and the correct eyebrows and eyes are all admirable.

——But he is indeed a beast in clothes!

I hid in the corner, my hands clenched into fists, wishing I could smash this hypocrite's face with one punch!

Thinking in my heart, my wrist was pressed by a strong force.I looked at Qi Feng next to him, his eyes were warning me, to the effect that he would make me look good by acting rashly.

I held back with great effort.

"Sick, are you okay?" Fu Ying, who was once a prime minister, spoke with a high-ranking demeanor, which was even more majestic than the current imperial governor who was dressed in a government mansion.

"Student's illness came suddenly. I am really ashamed to let my teacher stay here for a long time." Lord Inspector saluted respectfully, and moved a chair with his own hands to wait for him to sit.

Fu Ying snorted coldly, "In my opinion, not only does the illness come on suddenly, but even life goes away suddenly."

Lord Inspector laughed along with him: "The student is dull and doesn't understand the meaning of the teacher's words."

"Lu Cai!" Fu Ying yelled, and slammed his palm on the table of the Eight Immortals, the cup jumped, "How do you explain Ye He's death?"

"This is a strange case..." Lord Inspector hurriedly bowed to signal, "Caizheng is trying his best to investigate, and dare not neglect... I don't know, hehe, why is it so hard to work hard..."

"Hmph!" Fu Ying flicked his sleeves heavily, "He and Hong'er have a marriage contract, and they are my wife's son-in-law. How can I not ask! Let me ask you, what is the cause of his death?"

"...Poisoned." The governor said in a deep voice.

"What poison? Why did you get poisoned? How did you get poisoned?" He asked repeatedly.The old guy is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"The poison is peacock gall." Governor Lu said hesitantly, "Ye He's death was caused by taking poison..."

"Hahaha!" Fu Ying let out a burst of laughter and said mockingly to him, "You mean he committed suicide! Let me ask you, my good son-in-law is healthy and about to get married. What is the motive for committing suicide? What? The scientific examination is just around the corner, and with his talent and learning, he is sure to be in the rankings; the fame of a beautiful wife, a family and a career are just around the corner, would you commit suicide if it were you?"

"This……"

"I still want to ask you! What were you doing in Piaoxiang Building on the day of the crime? Before you went, you were fine, but after you came out, you became a dead body! How do you explain it!"

Lord Inspector bowed again and again: "Teacher, please calm down, the student has returned the favor..." He looked up, and then said carefully, "Teacher, the student came to ask Mr. Ye for a case..."

"Case?" Fu Ying sneered, "Han Chun's case?"

"No, no, no," the governor shook his head again and again, "It's a civilian girl who has a grievance, and this case involves Mr. Ye. After all, Mr. Ye is a candidate for the exam and your old son-in-law. The student doesn't want to tear his face, so no Arrest him to the court, but go to question him, who knows... actually..." He sighed deeply.

"Oh?" Fu Ying stroked her long beard, "So the old man misunderstood you? Don't tell me...the story you made up, excuse yourself?" His voice was stern.

"Students don't dare. The girl is waiting in the Piaoxiang Building, and she wants to meet her mentor and tell her grievances."

"Really?" Fu Ying snorted, "I want to see who can make my son-in-law take poison and commit suicide!"

As soon as the word "Jian" fell, there was a sudden rush of wind, and the cold wind poured in violently from the window, blowing out several lamps at once, and the hall immediately became dark; the remaining two or three lamps also swayed, casting shadows And the shadows of tables and chairs are shaking.

The sky outside was completely dark, and it was thick black at first glance.The wind blew in with little snow particles, and the chill entered my body, and I couldn't help shivering.

At the junction of the lobby and the corridor, a white figure suddenly appeared.

The figure slowly walked towards this side, step by step. "The sky is clear and the moon is bright, and I listen to the pipa through the curtain." A brisk voice, a woman's voice.

It was a snowy night, and there was no moon at all, but the voice was very clear and cheerful, and it felt a little strange in this cold night.

The lobby was extremely quiet, and Fu Ying and his entourage were obviously very surprised.

I also opened my eyes wide in surprise.At that moment, my heart almost jumped out of my chest... This is Rui Ge's voice!

Absolutely right, this is Ruige's voice! "The sky is clear and the moon is bright"... This is also her favorite poem. Her beloved pipa is called "Sunny Moon"!

Rigo!Even if I knew it was impossible, even if I knew she had... I still froze on the spot, staring at that shadow without blinking, full of shock and excitement!

She walked into the lobby.Under the dim light, she was pale, holding an ancient red pipa in her arms, her long hair was loose, messy by the wind, her head was lowered, and her face could not be seen.

I couldn't breathe for a moment.

The tightly clenched hand suddenly became hot—Qi Feng let go of my wrist and held my hand.

I tilt my head.He glanced at me, then looked forward again.I also looked over.

The governor said, "Ruige! Who do you think he is?"

Regal——

Fu Ying stood up abruptly, pointing at her, "Rige? Isn't she dead already!" His voice trembling when he asked the governor.

With a bang, the pipa fell to the ground. "Hahaha! Ahahaha!" Ruige burst out into a burst of sharp laughter suddenly, raised his head suddenly, his hair spread like a spider web, revealing a bloody face! "Who... said I'm dead..."

The pipa blocked her chest just now, but now I saw that there was a big hole in her chest, a blood hole, and the blood stained a large part of the white clothes red.

Qiqi's gasping sound resounded in the lobby.

Seeing Fu Ying, Rui Ge rushed forward with a strange cry, "You! It's you!... Give me back my life!"

Fu Ying was so shocked that she backed up again and again, her back hit the pillar, "You are so bold, you... who the hell are you?"

Rui Ge giggled, "You don't remember me?" Suddenly his voice became sharper, "Give me back my life!" Pointy ten fingers grabbed his neck!

The stunned servants came back to their senses, and all drew their knives to protect the master. The knives were raised, and suddenly they were hit by evil wrists and dropped, "jingling", several knives fell to the ground.

Here, Fu Ying fell against the pillar, the hosta on her head was skewed, her gray hair was scattered, and she looked terrified, "Cough, cough...don't, don't look for me, I didn't do it..."

"You killed me! You killed me! Ah... I want to dig your heart out!" Rui Ge yelled frantically.

Not to mention that Fu Ying was terrified, my scalp also felt numb.

"Don't..." Fu Ying's voice was no longer steady, and she changed her tone in panic, "It was Zhang Xiang who killed you, not me! I will, I will kill Zhang Xiang immediately, and vent my anger on you..."

Ruige smiled with bloody face, and tightened his hands suddenly: "If he dies, you will die too! Give me my life!" Fu Ying was pinched until her eyes turned white, and she waved her hands, begging for mercy intermittently: "Let me go!" ...Let me go, yes, I was confused for a while...forgive me..."

The lobby was unusually quiet, and Fu Ying's hoarse voice echoed in every corner.I saw Rui Ge let go of his hand from his neck, and then slapped him loudly!

"It's really you!"

With a slap in the face, the extinguished lights in the lobby were turned on again, and the lights were bright immediately.

The scene in the hall is unobstructed.The embarrassed Fu Ying, the white-clothed Rui Ge, the stunned servant, and the silent Chief Inspector.

No, not just them.There were many more people, and a group of officials and ordinary people who did not know when they appeared surrounded them.

Rui Ge finished slapping his face, brushed his hair aside, wiped the blood on his face with his sleeve, "Who do you think I am?"

The voice changed suddenly, replaced by another familiar voice.It's Xiaoluan!

Qi Feng suddenly stepped out, appeared in front of everyone, and said loudly to them: "Everyone has seen it, the real murderer is this old thief! He killed Miss Ruige!"

Fu Ying, who was sitting slumped on the ground, straightened up with a start, as if she understood something, but it was too late.

——There was a huge commotion among the people, and they all wanted to come forward to punch and kick, but were stopped by the officials.Lord Inspector shouted to his side: "Thank you for arresting the head, go to Fuyuan quickly, and arrest that Zhang Xiang! Then the court will confront you!"

After Fuying was "escorted" to the government, and the people also retreated, I stepped forward and said to Xiaoluan, "I almost thought you were Ruige!"

Xiaoluan smiled, "I have been sisters with her for more than ten years. Sometimes we go out privately to hide from our mother, so we cover each other. I can learn her voice to be the same, and she can also imitate mine. "She picked up the pipa that had lost its owner from the ground, and stroked it gently.

I still don't understand one thing, "Why did their knives fall to the ground for no reason?" Could it be that Rui Ge really appeared?

"It's me," Qi Feng raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "their wrists are injured, so of course they can't hold a knife. You don't really think there is a ghost, do you?"

I was a little embarrassed, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I really thought it was Rui Ge."

"Thank you, Miss Xiaoluan, thanks to you, I caught the real culprit." I thanked gratefully.

But Xiaoluan sighed, and handed the pipa to me: "Young Master Han, I am relieved that my sister's grievances can be cleared up. Xiaoluan is going to quit her family soon, and this pipa was my sister's favorite during her lifetime. I will give it to you. Go." After she finished speaking, she saluted, turned and left sadly.

Looking at the pipa in my hand, I seemed to see Ruige's mischievous smile and bright tone, and my heart felt sour, and I also strode downstairs.

"Where are you going!" Qi Feng asked from behind.
