Chapter 6: Rumors
The Cheng family in Jiangzhou had an accident again.
In fact, the news spread yesterday, and today even the guy standing at the head of the bridge selling tea and soup can speak vividly.
ββ¦ That little lady Zhu pulled out a dagger and said, if you are negative, the slave family will dig out your heart..."
The young man cocked his orchid fingers, shook his head with a big iron spoon and said.
Someone in the audience immediately interrupted.
"Hey, no, it's not right, I said that Zhu Xiaoniang's maidservant was killed, and that the Cheng family's Langjun wanted to force Zhu Xiaoniang...."
"Come on, Cheng Jialangjun spent 50,000 yuan, forced? It is also appropriate to sleep with the official prostitutes of the entire Desheng Building. β
Laughter erupted.
"At that time, there were only four people in the house, Zhu Xiaoniang and Cheng Shilang's master and servant, and the guards of the Cheng family were outside the door, and they didn't hear any noise at all."
"The tea was drugged, and it was Zhu Xiaoniang's maidservant Chun Ling, who also worked on it, and this Chun Ling is also from Jiangzhou."
"Then why did she kill Cheng Shilang?" A staff member couldn't help but ask when he heard this.
He shook his head.
"No one knows, Zhu Xiaoniang hanged herself in prison with a skirt last night, and Chun Ling was torned off her neck by Cheng Niangzi and died on the spot." He said, "People around me said that Cheng Niangzi only asked one sentence at that time. β
"Did you do it?"
A voice sounded slowly.
The rhythm of the weak voice suddenly came out at this time, which made the hearts of the people present furious.
Looking for the sound, it was the king of Jin'an who was half-sitting on the couch with a pillow.
"Is that what she asked?" He said again.
Only then did he come back to his senses and nodded.
A weak smile appeared on the face of the King of Jin'an.
"Yes, Your Highness guessed right. That's what she asked. The handmaid replied yes. And thenβ" he continued, reaching out to make a twisting motion.
Most of the people present had never killed anyone and had seen murder, but when they heard this, their expressions were still slightly unnatural.
It stands to reason that a woman is crazy, and it is normal to stab people with a knife, but she wrings off people's heads with her hands....
It's more oozing than seeing blood.
"I just said that it was weird to see that Cheng Niang last night." A man said busily again.
Everyone looked at him.
"Did you say that?" Someone asked him.
Forget it, right?
"She's got a lot of blood on her." The man continued.
Did you come directly from Desheng Building?
"Is this because of me?" King Jin'an said slowly.
"Your Highness said that Cheng Shilang was killed to threaten Cheng Niangzi not to come to you for treatment?" Mr. Gu frowned and said.
"How else could it be so coincidental?" King Jin'an said.
"There are many coincidences in the world." Mr. Gu said, "That Cheng Shilang was arrogant in Desheng Building, and the Cheng family lady spent a lot of money for him. It's all because of this little lady Zhu's calculations, he suffered such a big loss, who knows how he will humiliate that little lady Zhu, if he is really holding him hostage, how can it be so easy? The four guards of the Cheng family were present at the time, if it weren't for the Zhou family and the Cheng lady, I don't know when I would find out when my master was dead. β
Speaking of which, he laughed sarcastically.
"I don't think someone is holding Cheng Shilang hostage, it's not that he couldn't leave at the time, it's that he doesn't want to go."
Mr. Gu said and called out the name of another guard.
A guard came in from outside the door.
"How did you see Mrs. Cheng that day, and what did she say. Say it again. He said.
"Cheng Niangzi and the Thirteen Langs of the Qin family are enjoying the flowers."
ββ¦ She said that Her Highness's illness could not be cured, and she did not need to come to see His Highness. It's just that it can't be cured, so let's invite someone else. β
"We're going to force her here, and Liulang of the Zhou family will beat us that day."
Mr. Gu looked at the King of Jin'an County.
"Your Highness, have you heard, she is with the thirteenth lang of the Qin family." He said, pointing to the other side.
On one side was a small box, full of stacks of concertos.
"These are the pieces of impeachment that the Queen Mother sent to your Highness to burn for you." He continued, "These concerts of these people were all led by the Qin family. β
"Your Highness." He looked at the King of Jin'an County, "Cheng Niangzi seems to have chosen the Qin family." β
The atmosphere in the room seemed to be stagnant and oppressive.
Looking at the half-seated King of Jin'an on the couch, the chamberlain couldn't help coughing lightly.
"Mr. Gu, it's too much." He said softly, while stepping forward to support the King of Jin'an, "Your Highness has just woken up, let's stop here today." β
The king of Jin'an also seemed to have no strength, so he helped him to lie down.
"Also, we have already invited her today, but as a result, she is still gone." Mr. Gu thought of something and said, "There is a mourning at home, and her parents are not there, so it is inconvenient for her to meet guests." β
As he spoke, he looked at the others.
"See, I didn't see her when I asked her to see her during the day, and I was making noise about coming in last night when the night was dark and the wind was high." He sneered, "It's a shame that I didn't let her in, who knows if she will have to wring off His Highness's head when she comes in." β
"Mr. Gu!" The chamberlain shouted in a raised voice and glared at him.
"She said that there is a funeral at home, and her parents are not there, so it is inconvenient for her to see guests, that is, it is inconvenient to see her." The King of Jin'an, who had been silent, spoke.
Mr. Gu looked at him and nodded, and smiled.
"Yes, Your Highness said yes." He said, bowing and bowing, "Your Highness, rest quickly, Your Highness is now responsible for taking care of your body." β
The people in the house all bowed out, and the chamberlain arranged for the maid to serve him, and he himself hurriedly followed.
ββ¦ What are you talking about! I also know that the important thing for His Highness is to take care of your body! Look what you're talking about..."
ββ¦ I'm telling the truth. β
ββ¦ To tell the truth, I will say it at the right time, Your Highness has few caring people... Now... Whew..."
The low voice of speech gradually became inaudible through the curtains.
Now...
King Jin'an slowly raised his hand, opened his hand, looked at the piece of wood inside, slowly closed it, and lowered his hand.
Sleep, the important thing is to take care of your body. Can't die. Must be raw. No matter how hard it is, you have to live.
Listening to the tent, the two maids looked at each other and nodded, tiptoed back a few steps, and sat down on the side to close their eyes and rest.
The interior is as quiet as night in the afternoon.
In the courtyard of Zhou's house, the chaotic carriages and horses drove out one after another, and Zhou Ji hurried to catch up.
"Father!" He shouted, his face annoyed, "Is it time to go?" β
Master Zhou lifted the curtain.
"Not yet? Don't go again. We're going to lie in a coffin too! He shouted in a low voice, stretching out his hand and pointing at Zhou Zhen, "Stinky boy, if you don't go with us, it's okay, I've already explained to General Zhong, and I'll take you back to the northwest immediately." β
"Father!" Zhou Zhen shouted again.
"Although my people are gone, but these things at home are money, you told Jiao Niang to use them casually, and they were all given to her, and there was something to send a letter to Shaanzhou. If you want to go back to Shaanzhou, you can also come, don't see outside. Master Zhou thought of something and said hurriedly. After that, he didn't wait for Zhou Ji to speak again, lowered the car curtain, and urged the coachman to leave quickly.
Zhou Ji had to be sent out, standing outside the city gate, watching a team of chariots and horses turn into black spots in the sky before turning sullenly, spitting out and flicking the horse's whip fiercely, and the horse galloped.
"Look, Zhou Jialiulang is here again."
The gatehouse in front of the Qin family, who was originally laughing, immediately waited for him, and the guards inside the door also poured out.
"Gongzi Zhou!" The steward at the head looked at Zhou Zhen, who had taken off the longbow from his body, and shouted loudly, "We respect you, but if you show your weapons in front of my Qin family, then don't blame us for showing our weapons." β
Zhou Ji looked at him, then at the Qin family's mansion, at the doorman guards who were like a great enemy, and looked up and laughed.
"Gongzi Zhou?" The steward asked with a frown.
Zhou Zhen didn't stop laughing, and suddenly tore off a piece of his robe, and pulled his bow and shot arrows with lightning speed.
There was a slight mess in front of the Qin family, and with a bang, a long arrow shot at the door, and a piece of cloth was nailed to it.
Zhou Ji looked at these people again, turned his horse's head and left, never looking back.
"Let's go down."
Qin Arc waved his hand, and the little guy hurriedly withdrew.
Looking at the piece of cloth in front of him, as well as a long arrow, Qin Arc smiled.
"Stinky boy, he has learned to cut his robe and break his righteousness." He smiled, reached out and picked up the cloth and arrows, stood up and walked inside.
He walked very slowly, holding this piece of cloth and an arrow in both hands, as if he were holding a treasure in the world.
Zhou Zheng had already stepped into the door of his family at this time.
The funeral in the courtyard was already neatly arranged, Fan Jianglin and the Huang family were busy, and when they saw him coming, they hesitated for a moment, but they still asked the servant woman to tear a piece of filial piety cloth.
Zhou Ji stretched out his hand to take it, and went straight inward without speaking.
Cheng Jianniang's room was open, and I saw her sitting in it at a glance, and Banqin was holding her hand and crying.
"I didn't wrap it up." "Such a deep wound," she said. β
Yesterday, the lady left from Desheng Building, did not return overnight, and after coming back, the family was busy with Cheng Shilang's burial, and she herself cried again, and she didn't notice that the lady had injuries on her hands.
The blood had been washed away, and a wound across the palm of his hand was becoming more and more hideous.
"It's good to wrap up, but it's slow." Cheng Jianniang said.
"But it's going to leave a scar." Banqin held Cheng Jianniang's hand and tears rained down.
"It's okay, scars are scars, and I don't care about this one." Cheng Jianniang said, withdrawing her hand.
When he died, arrows rained down on the left and right, and he must have been scarred like a hedgehog.
She pursed her lips and smiled.
Laugh?
Zhou Zhen frowned, raised his feet and walked over.
"Shiro-kun's funeral, Da Lang-kun has already been prepared, lady, do you have any other orders..."Banqin said with a sob.
After the death of the Maoyuanshan brothers, the lady spent so much effort to correct their names, and the things they did were enough to make them famous in the annals of history, but whenever someone mentions Maoyuan Mountain wine and the first line of books in the world, they will naturally mention the story of the Maoyuanshan brothers.
Now that Cheng Shilang died at the hands of an official prostitute, coupled with the fact that Zhu Xiaoniang hanged herself in prison, this matter has become even more confusing, and it is extremely unbearable to be rumored in the city.
The lady must correct Cheng Shilang's name.
"Burn it, let people send it back to Jiangzhou, and build a mound in the capital." Cheng Jianniang said.
Banqin looked at her and waited for a long time without hearing before speaking.
"Is that all?" She asked.
"Oh." Cheng Jianniang thought of something again and nodded, "There is no word on the tablet." β
At the beginning, there was no word on the burial tablet of the Maoyuanshan brothers, and it was not engraved by the lady until the snow was posthumously gifted.
It seems that this time it will be after Cheng Shilang takes revenge and washes his name, and the lady will engrave his name.
Banqin nodded and got up in response, bowed his head to Zhou Zhen and walked away.
Zhou Zhen sat down under the porch of the door.
"You say, how to do it." He spoke straight.
How to kill Qin Langjun?
Banqin's footsteps paused slightly, and he couldn't help but look back.
"Tell me, who are you going to kill this time?" It seemed that a young man was smiling, leaned forward, and said in a low voice.
It's still the same sentence, but is the person who once said it now the one who wants to be killed?
