The White Lady Murder Incident (Part II)

Author: Dai Yunong

The ox cart carrying Qi Ren's body swayed and turned into the gate of the Qi family's courtyard, and the two white-clothed women in the inner house were sad, numb to Cai Ji's interrogation.

"The concubine Qi Qiao's family has seen Cai Fujun." Qi Ren's wife and concubine cried so much that they were choked up.

Cai Ji bowed his head and said that he was mourning, and asked straight to the point if Qi Ren had gone home after the drama was dispersed last night? ”

Mrs. Qiao stalked for a long time, before she wept and replied that her lover was good for wine, and now the army is in chaos, and she caught up with the locust plague, she has not been touched with wine since the Shangyuan Festival, and she told me to go home first when I was out of play yesterday, I waited with my second sister all night, and I didn't expect ......"

Qiao's pink neck drooped, sobbing and rippling.

On the way, Cai Ji learned that Qi Ren had been married for less than half a year, and he peeked at Qiao's Qi Rong coldly, so he nodded and turned to leave.

On this side, the county commander arrived with the snake catcher Jiang Weng and the hunter Yunhe.

In the troubled world, human life is like grass, it is not worth such a lot of trouble, but the way people die is so "supernatural", Cai Ji has been aroused to be competitive, and secondly, through the word of mouth of Qianshou, he is in urgent need of popularity and popularity.

With a trace of disdain, Jiang Weng stepped in with his head held high to invite contemptible people here, what are you doing? ”

His enslavement is only to pay tribute to two Yangchun white flower snakes every year, and he doesn't need to look at the faces of the three elders and the pavilion chief.

The hunter Ah He was tired and had a stalk of grass in his mouth, and he followed behind boredly.

The county magistrate knew Jiang Weng's stubborn temper very well, and hurriedly explained the reason.

Yesterday, someone witnessed Ah He carrying about 40 catties of wood on his back and "swishing" up a three-zhang high mulberry tree to help Jiang Weng repair the roof.

After listening to this, Jiang Weng glanced at the deceased who was covered with a white towel on the straw mat, and sighed, no wonder the old man heard gossip when he went out. That's it, death is over, please ask if you have any questions. ”

Cai Ji naturally wouldn't take the snake-kiss-shaped scar on the corpse's right foot seriously, and found Jiang Weng just to ask about Qi Ren's life.

The words of the enemy are often more reliable than they are.

Jiang Weng did not hide it, and told the story in 1510.

Qi family, the eldest Qi Yi believes in the Taiping Religion and has been guarding the Taiping Temple in the city; After the death of the second Qi Ren, he retired and returned to his hometown as a son of a good family. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he had meritorious service in defending the city, and with the background of the Liang Army, he became the number one person in the county.

Half a year ago, he took the township to fight off the bandits and rescued the Qiao sisters from the neighboring village, and they also got married. But this time Qi Ren hung up his left leg, but fortunately, Qiao's hand was tied with a lantern, and his life was quite well-off.

It is true that Qi Ren is rampant in the township, but the enmity between the Yun family and the Qi family is a matter for the elders, as for the reason, Jiang Weng is vague, and Cai Ji does not ask much.

"Phew!"...... Two horses neighed, and four pairs of hooves stopped outside the door at the same time. Tai Shici's eyes lit up - the rider's horse match was quite exquisite.

The bellflower was pale, carrying a quenched mahogany bow on his back, hanging his hands, and followed Lin Fei in broken steps.

In front of the public, Lin Fei can always properly show the etiquette of tutoring, gestures, and should Cai Jun be safe? ”

Cai Ji returned the salute, and after greeting him, he asked who this is? ”

"Kikyo, my sister's hair is small."

Cai Ji glanced at the Xuanxi witch costume, and knowingly asked Lin Jun uninvited, what do you have to say? ”

The corners of Lin Fei's mouth moved, and he half-mockingly and half-seriously explained that the top brand of the Wuwu Theater Troupe had become a murderer overnight, and he had to ask An Zhen to clarify the rumors in order to set the record straight. ”

Literary and historical ephemeris, Bu Zhu advocates excellence, these lowly practitioners Cai Ji can not buy it, but the bellflower is a witch, and the status is very different.

The daily life of the people of the Han Dynasty, birth, old age, sickness and death, marriage and funeral, are closely related to witchcraft. Kikyo's Witch Brigade, dancing is just one of the businesses.

In fact, the troupe's other services, such as the Little Straw Man, are even more favored by the ladies of the wealthy families.

As for Lin Fei's puppeteer's signboard, it is purely a ticket, and it is elegant and vassal - Cai Ji suspects that this guy is exercising his acting skills and laying a foundation for his career.

There are now two versions of the rumor: the absurd version, the bellflower turned into a big python, the head is like a fence, the eyes are like lanterns, and Qi Ren climbs to the crown of the ginkgo tree, and then borrows the form of the object, and uses the sutra scroll instead of the snake's body to entangle the corpse and go. The speaker's words were conclusive, and he saw with his own eyes the bright eyes of the python in the dark night, and the blue light flashed.

In the reliable version, Kikyo first shoots the rope through the ginkgo branch with a bow, and then ties the stolen scroll to hang the person high. As for the motive, Qi Ren borrowed wine to flirt, which sounds quite reasonable.

Cai Ji didn't believe it, the peachwood bow on the back of the bellflower was used to shoot the puppet (similar to the needle-piercing straw man), and it was accurate, and the effective range was only three to five meters. Besides, Qi Ren has no bruises on his back, even if he bleeds people first and then hangs them, unless he prepares more than six pulley combinations in one go, he can only say that Kikyo is born with divine power.

Lin Fei saw that Cai Ji was smiling and silent, sitting firmly in the presence of the old god of Diaoyutai, secretly scolding a profiteer, pretending to inadvertently add a sentence about the collection of books in the guest room of the villa, which is only what the king wants. ”

"Taishi Gongshu", "Liutao", "Guanzi", ...... All of them are butterfly-bound books made of Zuo Bo paper (bamboo slips were commonly used at that time), neatly stacked on the Nanmu bookshelf behind the crane head Lantian jade chime, Cai Ji wiped the corners of his mouth that was about to leave saliva, and quickly announced the suspicions in public, and promised to take action in person, and solve the case before leaving the city.

When the crowd dispersed, Lin Fei gritted his teeth and thanked him, pulled his companion and flashed.

Cai Ji got on the horse, and when he left, the Qi family hung a pair of bamboo paper white lamps high, and there was a faint mourning sound in the courtyard.

After lunch, Shangheng Villa.

Cai Ji has a graphite pen in his ear, his left hand pinching the dough as an eraser to revise the sketch, and his right hand holding a wooden stick and silk thread, fiddling with the sand table model at the simulation site.

There is no doubt that the body was bled and then hung from a tree, the question is that the murderer hoisted the body to a height of three stories?

The overturned car built by Bi Lan during the time of Emperor Ling already had basic devices such as wheel axle groove plates. But the scene was clean, and there was not even a shoe print, let alone a large organ group.

For a whole one, Cai Ji racked his brains, more tired than dealing with a stingy profiteer in his previous life.

Lily of the valley served tea and replied, waking up the dazed Cai Ji This is the script sent back by the Perak Theatre Troupe. Lin Jun has transcribed a copy, and the books here will be sent to Xiao Langjun as manuscript fees. ”

"He's beautiful." Cai Ji didn't look back, and continued to calculate Lin Fei's calculations. Go and send him a message, and launder the money and the account of the pen, and let him estimate it. ”

Cai Ji took over the manuscript, which will be included in "Cai Zi" and "An Zhen's New Book" in the future.

You have to check it again, in case a villain learns from Confucianism and pours water into it to add private goods, it will be a big loss.

Sure enough, the head of the script is a beautiful line of official letters: it is not my doing, three volumes of handwritten silk silk with horns, not worth laughing at.

If it's not you, will you steal the white silk if you do it? It's almost the same with Yue Ge.

Wait, this is?

Cai Ji exclaimed, and Lily of the Valley stopped and trotted.

The manuscript slid through Cai Jirou's wings, falling to the ground and scattering, like an angel descending to earth, folding its wings and falling to the ground.

Clenching a fist - a qiē puzzle, all solved.

The night dew is born, and the moon is shining. The summer breeze cooled down, and Cai Ji was dressed in white and stood proudly on the cliff.

Qi Yi, Qiao Jia, Jiang Weng, Yunhe, and Bellflower were silent, Lin Fei smiled and invited us here, you must have found out the real murderer? ”

The "Xu" in Cai Ji's left hand slapped his right palm lightly, and said with a smile No, the murderer is among us! ”

"Who is it?" Qi Yi changed color and asked loudly first.

Cai Ji said leisurely that in fact, the murderer and the drama I made up have an intersection, and they have become a white lady to kill people with false rumors, which does not match; If I'm making up Count Dracula, it's a perfect match. ”

Lin Fei quickly filtered it in his mind: The earl surnamed De, I haven't heard of it, is it a small country divided by Ji Zhou?

Cai Ji continued the snake-tooth-shaped wound on the right foot of the corpse, which was not intended to bleed, but to draw blood with a vacuum bamboo tube. Reducing weight has nothing to do with the poisonous snakes raised by Jiang Weng. However, because Yunhe is good at climbing trees, it has affected the pond fish. ”

Jiang Weng exhaled a long breath, and Ah Hewu touched his head and didn't know why.

Qi Yitie's face was blue, could it be that the second brother was ......"

Cai Ji nodded gloomily, and pointed at the person who killed Qi Ren in Qiao's family, it was you! ”

Mrs. Qiao's face was bloodless, she glanced at Cai Ji with her eyebrows, and fell silent, but Qiao Xiaomei raised her head and questioned Cai Fujun in an indifferent tone What is the evidence for the murder of her husband? ”

Cai Ji put his two fingers to his lips and whistled. The crimson cloud behind the tree, "Herod", ran to Cai Ji's side, and the rope tied to the saddle was suddenly lifted with a large black cloth. Two large Kong Ming lanterns, nearly six feet (two meters) long on the sides of the base, rose high.

The base of each Kong Ming lantern is tied with a silk ribbon and a hemp rope.

The silk ribbon is tied to a heavy object, and the other end of the hemp rope is held in the hands of Lily of the Valley and Emei behind the tree.

From a distance, Kong Ming's lamp flickered, and this was the white lady's blue and glowing eyes.

The Qiao family suddenly sat down on the cold ground.

As the heavy object slowly rose into the air, Cai Ji narrated in an emotionless tone, as if the person who spoke was not her Lin Jun's reply, mentioning that there were three volumes of silk flags in the Taiping Sutra. So I suddenly thought of the prayer flags, large and small, with a dozen knots. ”

"The best way to hide a leaf is to put it in the woods – you hang the body, you pull the rope to control the lantern, and then you cross the position and tie the prayer flags into dead knots and tie them to the tree. However, if the white silk is too long, it will inevitably make people see through the technique, but it is not possible to burn or cut off the excess. So, you think of the prayer flags of the Taiping Temple. Connecting the three rolls of white silk to tie knots hides the meaning of the knots – and keeping the prayer flags intact can also create a supernatural atmosphere. ”

Cai Ji still hasn't said anything, the thermodynamics and fluid science application in the manuscript is: hot air balloon - Kong Ming lantern!

Suddenly, Lily of the Valley and Emei shook their wrists, the looper tied to the base of the lamp was loosened, and the prayer flags hung down softly.

Mrs. Qiao coldly interrupted Cai Ji's words, "The people of the Qi family deserve to die!" ”

Cai Ji was stunned.

Lin Fei opened the folding fan with a "swish", pretending to be deep If I didn't expect it, you are not willing to marry Qi Ren - as for the thief to frame Qi Yi, I am afraid that he believes in the Taiping Sect. ”

Qiao Xiaomei hoarsely said in her throat The yellow turban thief killed her parents and insulted us, in addition to marrying the 'hero who saved the beauty', is there a way to live? ”

"And yet ......," Chuji mused.

Mrs. Qiao rolled up her sleeves, revealing whip marks of different shades, and the newly healed wounds were still scabbing over, and he did the same to Hu Ren, and to us. ”

Silence, the scene fell into a suffocating silence.

This is the troubled times, this is the reality, the memories of the past and present lives come together, making Cai Ji sick and nauseous.

"Enough!" Cai Ji couldn't help yelling, venting the resentment in his heart The person was killed by the snake demon White Lady, the case has been solved, and it has nothing to do with anyone, that's enough! ”

Qi Yi and Jiang Weng glanced at each other, pulled Yunhe and left silently.

"Yes, I killed them." In the bright eyes of the bellflower, the excited Cai Ji shined.

Sanwu's face had a vivid expression for the first time.

The Qiao family knelt down, kowtowed to Cai Ji, and left hand in hand.

Cai Ji dodged and hid to the side, she couldn't stand it.

Lin Fei put away the folding fan and took a deep breath of the cool night breeze on the top of the mountain, according to the example of "Changmen Fu", the new drama "White Lady" is worth 100 gold. Here's your pen. May we see each other again before the next time, Manjushri. ”

Cai Ji took the parchment roll and stuffed it into Crimson's hanging bag, this time solving the murder did not give her a sense of accomplishment in solving the mystery.

On the contrary, she felt powerless, and she only had endless disappointment and tiredness in the countless grievances and hatreds in this troubled world.

"No, I will never be afraid, and I will never bow my head."

The play is empty, and the stage will eventually be curtain call by her.

Cai Ji is independent in the wind, and the empty valley stirs with the echo of fate.

Looking up at the moon, the bright moon is silent. Since time immemorial, all kinds of good and ugly in the world have been the same, from Cain to Buddha, from the pyramids to the Great Wall.

History is about to be rewritten.

P: Runbi Dian's "Sui Shu Zheng Translation Biography" ordered Li Delin to make an edict in the internal history, and Gao Gong jokingly translated and said: "The pen is dry." The translator replied: "Out of Fang Yue, the cane is a word, and there is no money, how can you moisten the pen." ’”

When Sima Xiangru made "Changmen Fu" for the disgraced Empress Chen, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was moved to read it, Empress Chen regained favor, Sima Xiangru got 100 catties of gold, at that time there was no rule of polishing the pen, and Empress Chen sent gold by buying wine from Zhuo Wenjun.

The height of Kong Ming's lantern is not written in the text, and the required parameters to drive the human body of 40 catties to rise 20 meters are calculated by physics experts.
