Chapter 593: The Death of the Old City Lord
Looking at Dongmei's angry and hated Chunlan, Chang Sheng knew that she had lied to her and said that Chunlan had accused her of killing the old city lord, and she believed it! But when Chang Sheng asked her to prove her innocence, she only shouted that she was wronged, and did not mention the violent death of the old city lord eight hundred years ago, which shows that although she has no brains, what she can say and what she can't say is as clear as all the servants in the courtyard!
People are like this, the more things others don't want to say, the more curious they become, and the more they want to explore the truth! Chang Sheng is no exception, he said to Wu: "No, you go and invite Mr. Er." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info such a thankless task, I, an outsider, forget it, or leave it to them to solve it internally. ”
"Yes, master!" the words fell, and Wu turned and walked towards the door.
The moment Wugang opened the door, Dongmei got up and rushed to the door, slamming the door that Wugang had opened a crack. Immediately after that, she knelt at the door, and while preventing Wu from continuing to open the door, she begged Chang Sheng: "Childe spare his life, Childe spare his life! The slave and maid are really wronged, and the slave and maid have not harmed the old city lord! Really not! I beg Gongzi not to find Mr. Er, and the slave and maid said, the slave and maid will say anything! Ask Gongzi to give him a way to live!" Speaking of this, Dongmei's voice stopped abruptly, and there was hesitation on her face again.
"I want to give you a way to live! Chang Sheng pretended to be helpless and said: "You should also be considerate of me, I am just a poor river and lake who came to earn a bounty, even if it is a royal family as remote as Shiwo City, I can't afford to offend! If you don't come up with some convincing explanation, why should I risk helping you?"
Dongmei said with an embarrassed face: "It's not that the slave doesn't want to explain, but there are some things that the slave and the maid really can't say!
"It seems that it's really as Chunlan said, the old city lord died strangely!" Chang Sheng reclined in his chair, looked at Dongmei and said: "To be honest, I don't know the real situation when the old city lord died, but Chunlan's slave is really a very smart woman, she said that you killed the old city lord, and it was reasonable, clear and logical." After listening to her words, I really believed that you were the real murderer of the old city lord just now! I just don't know if your city lord and Mr. Second will believe her! Do you say yes?"
"But......" Dongmei still hesitated.
"But what?" Chang Sheng sneered and said: "What are you afraid of, you were not the first to leak the secret! Have you forgotten? Before you, Chunlan had already leaked the secret! Whether you say it or not, I already know the general truth, after all, Chunlan can blatantly frame you, she won't talk nonsense on things that everyone knows! As long as you can prove your innocence to me, when the time comes, in front of the city lord and Mr. Er, I will naturally not falsely accuse you that you are the first person to tell me this secret, right?"
Dongmei was stunned, although she thought she was in a desperate situation now, as soon as she heard that Chunlan was the first person to leak the secret, her face still showed half of a look of schadenfreude, and half of it was a fierce murderous aura.
In the end, Dongmei still opened her mouth to tell the story before and after the death of the old city lord more than 800 years ago.
According to Dongmei, more than 800 years ago, she was a little palace maid who specialized in serving tea in the old city lord's bedroom. The old city lord is a kind person, and even if he usually makes a small mistake, the old city lord will rarely scold them as slaves and maids.
However, suddenly one day, the old city lord changed, and became very depressed and gloomy. He didn't deal with political affairs every day, he just locked himself in the house, and he didn't need anyone to serve him, and even let us eat and drink water outside the door, and he took it himself.
The only people who could say a few words to the old city lord through the door were the current city lord and the second gentleman, who were still the sons of the world at the time, but they would be driven away by the old city lord if they couldn't say a few words.
Such days lasted for more than half a month, and suddenly one day, the old city lord did not take the breakfast that was placed at the door, nor did he take the lunch that was placed at the door!
In the end, Shizi and Mr. Er were so worried that they had to force the door open at the risk of committing the crime, but as soon as the door opened, everyone present was stunned!
The old lord hanged himself! There was a suicide note and a ballad on the table in the house.
Dongmei remembered that the day before the old city lord died, when she was sending water to the old city lord, she happened to hear the old city lord talking about this ballad with the prince and the second gentleman who were outside the door, but she only said that there was a way to eliminate the vampire silk behind the ballad, but when the prince and the second gentleman asked, the old city lord was silent again.
Dongmei said: "The slave maid doesn't know how Chunlan framed me, but at that time, the slave maid was just a newcomer and a little palace maid, and she couldn't enter the old city lord's room guarded by guards!
"Suicide?" Chang Sheng said with a shocked face, "Do you know what is written in the suicide note?"
Dongmei shook her head and said: "In addition to the current city lord and Mr. Er, no third person has read the contents of the suicide note, and I heard that the rumors and legends record the major secrets of Shiwo City, and only people from the royal family are qualified to read it." ”
Chang Sheng asked, "Do you remember anything else special?"
Dongmei shook her head and said, "That's all the slave knows. ”
"Really?"
"There really isn't any. ”
Chang Chang breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Dongmei with a relaxed face: "Actually, Chunlan didn't frame you! Chunlan pointed at you by the window, just following my orders and introducing me to the situation of each of you. I deliberately asked her to point fingers at you, so the person who framed you was actually me!"
Dongmei looked at Chang Sheng in a daze, because she was too shocked but unusually calm, she asked coldly, "Childe and I have a grudge?"
Chang Sheng smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, don't be angry! I don't mean to hurt you, I just want to know the truth about the death of the old city lord!"
Dongmei, who was kneeling on the ground, jumped up, pointed at Chang Sheng and said angrily: "I'm going to tell the city lord about you!"
"Accuse me?" Chang Sheng pointed to himself and said, "What are you accusing me of?" The person who leaked the secret is obviously you, and you leaked the fact that the old city lord of Shiwo City committed suicide and died, and you lost the face of your royal family of Shiwo City, and you will be dead at that time!"
Dongmei was furious, and said angrily: "Then I will also pull you as a backrest!"
Chang Sheng laughed in a low voice, and he said to Dongmei: "If you look for death, I won't stop it, the reason why I tell you the truth is just that I don't want you to trouble Chunlan because of this, it's not that I look down on you, your IQ can't play with her!
