Chapter 6: Drunken Madness
All people are born equal, no one is born to deserve to die, so many lives died in vain, Qiao Yue didn't feel good at all, she thought that killing these people would make her feel less irritable, but she didn't expect it to be even more irritable.
Do they really deserve to die?
Maybe from Jiang Hong's standpoint, they offended Qiao Yue, and they were completely innocent, but in Qiao Yue's opinion, she was deviating from the right path farther and farther, in the words of Master Zhiyun, there is a magic barrier in Qiao Yue's heart now, and she will not know what to do and what not to do until she overcomes the magic barrier.
Qiao Yue's question Geng Huyuan couldn't answer it, the big boat slowly moved forward, and the third floor of the big ship could hear the sound of the lute or sinking pipa constantly sounding, in addition, even the boatmen sitting randomly below did not dare to speak loudly, for fear that they would accidentally anger Qiao Yue again and become a floating corpse in the river.
Liu Xing played with the crane bird in the sky for a long time, and after coming down, regardless of Geng Huyuan's persuasion, she climbed directly to Qiao Yue's bed and fell asleep next to her.
Compared with the previous small boat, the big boat was indeed much more comfortable, and with the sound of the lupa, Qiao Yue and Liu Xing, who had been tired for a long time, quickly fell asleep.
Soon after Liu Xing descended from the sky, the crane bird in the sky didn't know where it flew, Jiang Hong never seemed to know tiredness, he had been standing at the door like a puppet since he killed Jiuming, and after Geng Huyuan withdrew from the room, he also followed Jiang Hong's example and stood beside Jiang Hong.
Originally, he wanted to say that Jiang Hong would teach him three moves and two styles, but he was afraid of disturbing Qiao Yue's rest, so what he wanted to say could only communicate with Jiang Hong with adoring eyes.
However, Geng Huyuan was still disappointed, Jiang Hong's eyes were covered by the hat on his head, no matter how much Geng Huyuan looked forward to it, he didn't look at it at all.
Standing guard can also see the depth of a person's martial arts, no, it didn't take long for Geng Huyuan standing next to Jiang Hong to be gone, and he fell asleep directly by the door, while Jiang Hong was still standing at the door like a puppet.
The atmosphere seemed to have calmed down for a while, and the scholars didn't dare to go crazy outside, and they didn't know where to hide at this time.
Towards evening, several large ropes were lowered from the board, and the silence of the boat was broken when the disembarkers accidentally fell into the water.
Jiang Hong's ears on the top floor moved, and when he was about to go to see what was going on, Qiao Yue's voice came from the room with a little sleepiness: "Let them go, there's nothing unseemly, since you have done it, don't be afraid that others will know." ”
Yes, there were still a lot of literati and dignitaries who stood with Jiuming just now, in order to avoid Qiao Yue's involvement, these people must have sent someone to quickly notify the nine families in the capital, otherwise the nine families will definitely hate them together.
Overnight, apart from the occasional sound of diving, it was generally quiet, and there were no accidents until dawn the next day.
The further east you go, the weather is much better than Ningzhou, the blue sky, there is a kind of tide flat and wide on both sides of the spectacle, soon after breakfast, Liu Xing jumped out, saw Jiang Hong still standing by the door, she asked curiously: "Dumb grandpa, where is the crane?" Where are they? Apricot wants to play with them! ”
Jiang Hong spread his hands, with an expression of not knowing, and then stopped paying attention to Liu Xing, when he was about to squint and take a nap, a handsome scholar walked over in his eyes.
The scholar was very polite, stepped forward and bowed respectfully, and said, "Late Du Mingyuan, I ask to see Mrs. Qiao." ”
His voice was very measured, and Qiao Yue inside could hear it clearly and without recklessness.
Geng Huyuan was very worried, he always felt that this was another poor sour who was not afraid of death, his experience told him that Qiao Yue was in a very bad mood at this time, and it was better to hide if he could.
Of course, he was worried about the scholars, not himself, and it was clear from the time he got on the boat that Qiao Yue seemed to have a natural prejudice against scholars.
"Squeak!" The door was pushed open, and Qiao Yue, who had just washed her face, had a clear complexion, and the morning light reflected on it, with a kind of colorful brilliance, compared with yesterday's sallow and old appearance, it was completely judgmental.
Du Mingyuan didn't pay attention to it, and he lost his mind for a while.
Qiao Yue coughed lightly: "Du Gongzi has something to do with the little girl?" ”
Du Mingyuan's face turned red, and he hurriedly lowered his head, and confessed to his gaffe just now: "Qiao Niangzi is the eldest lady of Qiao Mansion in Ningzhou City?" ”
"Oh!" Qiao Yue looked at him puzzled, her mind turned, she really didn't remember that she had anything to do with this Du Mingyuan before.
Without waiting for Qiao Yue to speak, Du Mingyuan asked again: "But that Qiao lady of Old Man and Mrs. Ye?" ”
As soon as he said this, Geng Huyuan next to him sighed in his heart, shook his head secretly, and said in his heart Du Mingyuan, which pot is not opened, which pot is not opened, this is clearly looking for death.
However, contrary to Geng Huyuan's expectations, Qiao Yue was not only not angry, but her face was excited: "Du Gongzi knows where my husband is?" ”
"Husband? Hmph..."Hearing Qiao Yue's words, Du Mingyuan became furious in an instant, and he said righteously, "You, a poisonous woman who took away people's property, drove away her mother-in-law, and divorced her husband privately, is also worthy of being called husband!" ”
Du Mingyuan was full of righteousness, his eyes looked directly into Qiao Yue's eyes as he spoke, and he was righteous, he didn't ask about Qiao Yue's murder yesterday, but instead asked about the things that were spreading all over Manningzhou City.
Geng Huyuan hurriedly walked up and grabbed him: "The government has its own decision on this matter, you poor scholar is blindly involved, it is better to study your book." ”
Du Mingyuan twisted his body and directly pushed Geng Huyuan: "Why, dare to do it, are you still afraid of what people say?" Don't think that you can blind everyone's eyes with some means, heaven and earth have their own justice, can you block my Du Mingyuan's mouth alone, can you still block the mouth of the world? ”
Qiao Yue stared at him, and did not get angry because of his questioning, they all said that scholars and literati had an arrogant aura, maybe there was a little bit of such a shadow in this Du Mingyuan.
Qiao Yue thought for a while and said, "You are smarter than the son of the Nine Families yesterday, but I think you still miscalculated, are all scholars as spineless as you?" ”
"Huh?" Qiao Yue's words made Geng Huyuan couldn't help but be stunned, and muttered: "For the sake of justice, people dare not come to accuse you, you should be very backbone, right, why did you become spineless again?" ”
Qiao Yue glanced at Geng Huyuan, who was puzzled, regardless of Du Mingyuan, who was blushing, and glanced at Liu Xing who was not far away, and said softly: "Sister, don't get too close to the side of the boat, be careful of falling..."
When Qiao Yuedu had already taken two steps from him, Du Mingyuan straightened up and continued to say righteously: "Today, Qiao Niangzi must give Xiaosheng a reasonable explanation, otherwise I, Du Mingyuan, will write an appeal and kneel under Qionghua's door, if all women in the world are like Qiao Niangzi, they will not be a home, and the country will not be a country." ”
Qiao Yue turned her head violently, and a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes: "You want to go to sue the emperor?" Hehe... It's a big hat, and it is said that the lips of the literati are guns, and the tongues are swords, and today is really a little woman's insight! ”
Du Mingyuan suddenly burst into laughter: "Haha... I know that you Qiao Niangzi is powerful, but you must make clear the hidden meaning of this matter today, otherwise no one in the world cares, and I, Du Mingyuan, will swear to defend justice and justice, of course, you can also kill me, but there are still many people like me Du Mingyuan in the world, and you can't kill them all..."
Hearing Du Mingyuan's words, Qiao Yue suddenly felt that this Du Mingyuan was very ridiculous, was his brain stupid, the justice he kept talking about, the axiom he kept saying, and he wanted to explain the reason for this matter to him clearly, just like if you were beaten on the road, you hit back again, and then inexplicably ran over and asked someone why you hit that person.
To put it mildly, he Du Mingyuan is not an official, and he is not a powerful party, why should he care about this kind of thing, is it really for justice and justice?
Qiao Yue couldn't help but look at him more, this handsome man looked elegant and slender in a white robe, but when Qiao Yue's gaze fell on his lap, her face immediately turned cold.
Qiao Yue said that he had no backbone just now, and seeing that he was still arguing with reason at this time, he thought that he was to blame, but when he saw his legs that had been trembling, Qiao Yue was immediately sure in his heart, Qiao Yue, who still had a little appreciation for the style of the literati, was beaten to pieces by Du Mingyuan in this dark heart at this moment.
A hint of mockery flashed in Qiao Yue's eyes: "Dare to ask Du Gongzi how many scientific examinations he has participated in?" What is the fame so far? ”
Hearing Qiao Yue's question, Du Mingyuan's upright face twitched slightly, and said, "Xiaosheng Sixteen is already a talent and fame, and he has been studying for three years, and this is only the second time this year. ”
Qiao Yue asked again: "When did you and these scholars on the ship become the guests of the nine families?" ”
"You..."Du Mingyuan raised his head sharply and lost his voice, "You... What do you mean? ”
"Hmph..."Qiao Yue snorted coldly, "The face of the scholar has made you lose everything, the spineless thing, the justice that you keep talking about in front of me, the axiom that you keep talking, you are also worthy?"
How long have you been a guest of the Nine Houses? If I'm not mistaken, no more than three days, right? Jiu Ming died yesterday, and you guys figured out how to get my attention, thinking that maybe I would be more powerful than Jiu and give you the convenience of gaining fame!
It is said that scholars don't use knives to kill people, and the little woman can be regarded as knowledgeable today, I'm afraid you already thought of this jump in advance when you came out of the crowd yesterday, right? I know that you are soft-spoken, but you deliberately came out and said a word, just to get my attention! ”
"Hmph... A group of Sven scum still want to die in the hands of my Qiao Yue, you... Not worthy of it..."
Qiao Yue really felt a little admiration in her heart when she saw this Du Mingyuan, who was righteous and awe-inspiring, the world was for the public, and he wanted justice even if he didn't want to die.
But seeing his fear hidden in the depths, that kind of word, even the movements were stylized, as if it was a play on the stage, Qiao Yue's heart suddenly cooled.
The concept that none of the scholars are good things has once again planted seeds deep in her heart.
Just now, Geng Huyuan was still a little worried about Du Mingyuan, but now the words have been made clear by Qiao Yue, and Du Mingyuan's appearance is obviously because Qiao Yue's words have broken his heart's plan, which makes Geng Huyuan look down on this Du Mingyuan in his heart.
"I didn't expect that the dignified No. 1 talent in Ningzhou is this kind of goods, phew, dogs are not as good."
Geng Huyuan spat fiercely in front of Du Mingyuan, and when he looked back, he saw that there were many scholars in the aisle not far away, stretching their necks and looking over eagerly.
Seeing that Qiao Yue and Geng Huyuan had slowly walked to the opposite railing, a thin scholar like a bamboo pole walked up and said with a mouthful of wine: "Brother Du, how is it, but I have captured the heart of that Qiao lady, and I will soon become her guest at the scene, right?" ”
Du Mingyuan didn't answer, he was still standing there, Qiao Yue's words hit him hard, he muttered to himself: "People go to high places, water flows to low places, where is my Du Mingyuan bad, in terms of talent and learning, in terms of long-term compared to whom, isn't it that I am from a poor background?" So I work harder than others, why don't you help me, why don't you want to help me, it's difficult because I Du Mingyuan has no background, is this the reason why you all look down on me?
Am I wrong? What's wrong, I want you to remember that one day, I will make all those who look down on me Du Mingyuan, spurn and insult me Du Mingyuan pay the price. ”
Du Mingyuan's eyes turned red, and his eyes widened with hatred looking at Qiao Yue's back in the distance.
At this time, a hand patted him on the shoulder affectionately, and when he turned around, he saw a slightly haggard man and asked, "How is it?" Did this Qiao Niangzi agree to help us, in my opinion, this Qiao Niangzi's background is definitely no worse than that Nine Princes, as long as she appreciates it, this time even if I can't wait for the top three and the first, at least there will be a chance to fill the gaps, as the saying goes, the outside does not avoid revenge, the internal move does not avoid relatives, as long as Qiao Niangzi is willing to protect us..."
Obviously, these scholars who were drunk all day long were still daydreaming of pies falling from the sky, maybe this was what Jiu Ming had promised them, and now that Jiu Ming was dead, they naturally thought of Qiao Yue.
Du Mingyuan turned to leave, and a large group of scholars behind him hurriedly caught up and shouted: "Brother Du, you can't eat alone, let's talk about sitting in the same boat..."
The voice was a little loud, Liu Xing turned around, and saw a group of scholars going down the stairs to chase Du Mingyuan, Liu Xing wondered: "Sister, what are those crazy people doing?" ”
Qiao Yue pulled her around, unwilling to take another look at these sanctimonious books, and said softly: "Xu is drunk again, I'm going crazy with alcohol!" ”R1152
