Chapter 200: Sacrifice
The snow flakes covered the severed limbs of the hanging human heads with a thin layer of white, like a mourning cloth, and there was nothing to see the severed heads and stumps, and the gathered crowd gradually dispersed, only the people who passed by the city gate raised their heads to take a look, and then hurried away in horror with their heads shrunk in fear.

The streets of the capital have become more noisy because of the snow, the adults are talking about the snow and the good year, the scholars are discussing where to enjoy the snow, the children are playing under the flying snowflakes, the restaurants and tea shops are full of people, the charcoal fire is more vigorous, the wine is more fragrant, and it would be better if there was a silk bamboo orchestra at this time.
Four richly dressed men walked into the box of the Drunken Immortal Building, and before they could sit down, someone greeted the guy who led the way.
"Three pots of wine, please come to the jade lady. ”
The guy saluted apologetically: "Jade lady, I'm afraid it won't work." ”
The three people who had already sat down were not annoyed, but laughed.
"The head of the four pipa ladies in the capital is not easy to see..."
"I heard that listening to the pipa of the Jade Lady will meet three days in advance... At this point, someone has already asked me to go. ”
Listening to the jokes of the guests, the guy also laughed, shook his head and said, "Not really, the jade lady has no appointment today, but she said that she wanted to see a friend." ”
I see, as a famous prostitute has this freedom, the guests are not annoyed, laughing and inviting another prostitute to play the piano, cold dishes, fruits, hot tea, wine and dishes are followed by a stream, and the hall is lively with laughter.
At this time, in the room on the top floor of the Drunken Immortal Building, a little maid knocked on the door of a room with a pot of wine: "Jade Lady, the wine you want is here." ”
The door opened, and the woman sitting in the hall got up and thanked her.
The little maid didn't leave, and asked with a little respect: "Mom said that the car is ready." With a little expectation, he said, "Jade lady, let the little maid accompany you out." ”
In this Qinglou, a skill is outstanding, more comfortable than those prostitutes who rely on their appearance, and can be called everyone, can accept apprentices, there are apprentices to support the elderly, the mother in the Qinglou will give money to please in order to win, the jade lady has reached the time to accept apprentices, how many people are eager to look forward to good luck on their heads.
The jade lady stroked the little maid's head, smiled mildly on her ordinary face, and said, "No need." ”
The little maid was a little disappointed that she didn't dare to bother anymore and retreated, and quietly glanced at the man sitting in the hall before closing the door, the man was in his thirties, with a mediocre appearance, plain clothes, and looked like a man on the street... Such a man can actually sit in the room of the Jade Lady, I don't know what the origin is, and invite him to drink the most expensive wine in the building.
The door was closed and the silence in the hall was restored, and the jade lady walked over with the wine, but did not pour the wine for the man, but put it in a small basket, turned her head to look at the snow outside the window, and said, "It seems that this snow is going to fall for a day." ”
The man was not interested in talking about snow, and his face was a little sad, and he said, "Do you have to do this? ”
The Jade Lady said: "I want to do this, Brother Yikai, you don't need to persuade me, by this day our people have all died..."
The man couldn't help leaning forward, his eyes were red and said, "But the two of us are still alive, we can wait, maybe we can see..."
The Jade Lady smiled and shook her head and said, "This task will be handed over to you, I don't want to wait." He stood up.
The man followed and stood up.
The jade lady stood in front of her and said, "And this is also an opportunity." Looking up at the snow flying outside the window, "In the past, we died in secrecy, and we didn't even have a chance to speak, but now they have a bounty of 10,000 taels to say that it's time for everyone to know where we came from and who we are." ”
The man said: "Let me go, Jade Lady, it is not easy for you to get to where you are today, and you can do more things in the future." ”
The jade lady shook her head with a smile and said, "It is precisely because I am famous that it is appropriate to do this." He sighed softly, "I can't do anything else." ”
The man leaned over and whimpered lowly.
The Jade Lady half-sat and stretched out her hand to help him, and said: "Zhu Yikai, you go, through your nameless body, go back and tell those survivors, young people, children, let them know and remember our deep hatred." ”
The man replied with tears in his eyes.
The Jade Lady patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then I'll go." With that, he carried a small basket, carried the lute, picked up an oil-paper umbrella and walked out, and the man leaned down again on the ground, and the door closed to isolate the two.
"Jade Lady. ”
"Jade lady, you have to go out. ”
"It's a lot of snow today. ”
The people I met along the way greeted the Jade Lady, and the Jade Lady also smiled and returned the salute one by one, yes, the snow is not small, the first snow walked out of the drunken fairy building, and the shopkeeper in front of the door opened the oil paper umbrella for the Jade Lady, and said, "Don't you really need a car?"
The Jade Lady took over and said, "It's not far, and it's more fun to walk." ”
The shopkeeper responded with a smile, looking at the little white leather boots under the jade lady's skirt stepping on a shallow footprint on the snow, and raised his hand to greet him when he thought of something: "Jade lady, today's fresh seafood is about to arrive, and there is your favorite fish roe.."
The jade lady turned around and said, "Help me keep it." Then he turned around and walked forward again, the woman with a long jacket with a narrow collar and a long skirt of blue Songjiang cotton, carrying a basket and carrying a pipa and holding a brown oil-paper umbrella blended into the crowd of people coming and going on the street and was inconspicuous, passing through the street and bypassing the alleys, and the city gate appeared in sight.
The head hanging on the bamboo pole has been white, almost indistinguishable, and it doesn't look so scary, most of the passers-by haven't noticed it, and they looked up curiously when they saw the two rows of officers and soldiers standing under the bamboo pole.... The human head whispered and hurriedly withdrew his gaze.
Let's go, pedestrians speed up their pace, and the jade lady passed by, the jade lady walked to the city gate step by step to the railing hanging the head, she carried the pipa on her back to attract passers-by to take a few more looks, and the heart said that this lady is bold to stand closer to see the human head... The thought flashed to me, and I saw this lady stop and sit down on the snow, and said, "What is this going to do?"
The officers and soldiers have noticed it since the Jade Lady approached, but they didn't retreat, they just stared coldly... The woman put away the paper umbrella and untied the lute, and reached into the basket again.... The eyes of the officers and soldiers condensed... The woman took out a jug of wine.
The Jade Lady looked at the wine in front of her for a moment and said, "Good wine." With that, he raised his head to the flask and drank.
Ho, this woman... The people around were amazed...
The jade lady didn't finish drinking it in one gulp, put down the wine jug, raised her sleeve and gently wiped the wine stains from the corners of her mouth, raised the wine jug, and said again: "Good wine." He shouted, "Please." ”
The wine was poured in front of him, and the snow melted.
Memorial!
The officers and soldiers surrounded in an uproar, the cold light of swords and guns was pointed at, and the passers-by around were shocked and retreated in unison.
The snow flew down, spread on the head of the jade lady, facing the surrounding knives and guns, her expression did not change, calmly put down the wine jug, took the pipa on the side, lowered her head and plucked the strings and played.
The pipa Zheng Zheng tune is light and brisk, and there are merchants among the passers-by next to him, who are used to coming and going to the wine market, and immediately hear that this is a drinking order.
It's a memorial.
Suddenly, someone listened to the pipa, and then stared at the woman sitting cross-legged, and recognized it: "It's the jade lady of the drunken fairy building." ”
Drunken Immortal Lou is a green building, Jade Lady is an honorific title, her real name is Yu Linglong, she is a prostitute in a green building, she learned pipa at the age of thirteen, and became famous at the age of eighteen.
How could she come to pay tribute to this murderer? The news spread like a snowstorm in the capital, and countless crowds of people poured in this direction, and naturally some officials came when they heard the news, and when they saw their arrival, the generals wanted to shout, but the officials raised their hands to stop them.
"Let her finish playing. He said, the official of the Criminal Department in his forties had a somewhat complicated expression, and he obviously knew the Jade Lady.
A prostitute is not a threat, and the general naturally knows the Jade Lady, and when he heard the words, he lowered his hand, and the song ended quickly, and the Jade Lady looked at the hanging head with the pipa in her arms and smiled.
The official of the Criminal Department sighed lightly, stroked his palm, and said, "I didn't expect to hear the pipa of the Jade Lady here." ”
The Jade Lady looked at him and saluted, "Lord Qu." He also saluted the general, "General Fu." ”
Qu Dadao: "Jade lady, the official hopes that you are here to identify the murderer, since you know each other, it is forgivable to send one." "As a prostitute, after so many years, it's not strange to know a murderer.
The Jade Lady responded, raised her hand and pointed to the hanging head, and said: "This person's name is Huangyi, the yellow of heaven and earth, and the clothes that people rely on to cover their bodies." ”
Sure enough, Master Qu took a step forward and said, "Where is the clan, why did you assassinate the sect?"
The Jade Lady shook her head with a smile and said, "No, it's not Lord Xing Assassin Zong, it's Lord Xing Assassin Song Yuan Song." ”
Master Qu's expression sank, and he looked at her and said, "It seems that the Jade Lady doesn't just know this person. "Although a reward was posted, they didn't believe that anyone would come to identify it, 10,000 taels of gold can't be exchanged for life, this kind of murderer of Song Yuan, who dares to say that he knows, Song Yuanfei killed you as a fellow party to vent his anger.
I didn't expect someone to really stand up and identify, no, this is not called identification, this should be called surrender, Lord Qu was surprised in his eyes, he could tell the purpose of the murderer, either he was extremely familiar, and he might even be in the same party... At the same time, I was glad that Song Yuan never approached women, let alone banquets, and had never been to the Qinglou venue and had never invited female prostitutes to her home, otherwise it would have been very easy to get close to Song Yuan with the reputation of the Jade Lady...
But looking at the woman in front of her, who was not outstanding but had a different demure and dignified face, there was a trace of unbearable... In this case, her ending can only be the same as this murderer, in fact, she didn't have to be like this, no one recognizes this murderer, and naturally there is no way to check the same party, as long as the jade lady doesn't say it, who will know that she is the same party.
Why do you have to come forward? Do you think that you can still get close to assassinating Song Yuan by being interrogated? Song Yuan will probably never see any suspects and murderers again in his life.
Looking at the spear that was about to burst through her chest almost the next moment because of this sentence, the Jade Lady was still calm, and nodded in response: "I don't just know him, I am the same as him, and the people who assassinated Lord Song several times before." ”
Yu Linglong's voice was as crisp and pleasant as a lute, and the people gathered and stood in front could clearly hear her words, and the people behind who couldn't hear clearly asked eagerly, and the people in front passed the words, and the surroundings suddenly fluctuated like waves.
A prostitute turned out to be a murderer, it was terrible and unexpected.
The general couldn't help but shout loudly: "Who are you?"
Jade Niangzi said: "We are people who do not share the sky with Song and Yuan. "Stand up.
The officers and soldiers around were even more vigilant, and the jade lady looked at the cold light and swords and guns in front of her, and then looked at the generals and Lord Qu.
"We are from Huangsha Dao. ”
As soon as these words came out, Master Qu suddenly changed color, and shouted: "Take it down, shut up." ”
The Jade Lady had already raised her head and laughed, raised her voice, and stretched out her hand to point at the hanging head.
"His name is Huang Yi, he is from Huangsha Road, my name is Yu Linglong, I was born in Huangsha Road... We are Huangsha Dao people. ”
The high-pitched voice spread out in the snow, and the people around were shocked again.
Wong Sha Road..
Wong Sha Road!
"What is Huangsha Dao?" a child asked, but the next moment he was covered by the adults around him, and the adults' expressions were frightened and afraid.
The general also looked angry, drew his sword and shouted, "Take it." ”
The officers and soldiers shouted in unison, and just about to start tying up, the Jade Lady had already pounced on them, and the three spears were stopped by the Jade Lady in front of her and passed through the chest, blood splashed, and the snow under her feet instantly dyed red.
The surrounding people screamed and retreated in unison.
Flakes of snow flew beside the woman who pierced the spear, falling with the gushing blood, snow white, snow red, and the lute, basket, and fallen flask on the side were gradually covered.
.....
.....
Looking at the woman who was motionless with her head down, Master Qu muttered: "It turned out to be Huangsha Dao." ”
