Chapter 19: The Green Snake
Fu Yin He had seen King Yongning so closely, he couldn't help but tremble with fright, and asked him to sit on the main seat of the yatang, Ye Yao glanced at it indifferently, saying that it was a murder case, so naturally it had to be tried by Fu Yin, and he couldn't overstep his bounds.
Fu Yin had no choice but to sit upright in the hall, but he was even more nervous, and he didn't know how to speak. Ye Yao was helpless, raised his eyes and looked straight at Wang Ji, one asked if he still had an affair with another woman, the second asked when the shark silk given by the deceased disappeared, and the third asked if he knew that the deceased was pregnant.
Wang Ji looked at King Yongning, but he was trembling and speechless.
Hearing these three questions, Ye Xingcan was impressed, she just briefly said what she saw that night, and her brother quickly sorted out the clues, and every question was straight to the point, and saw that Wang Ji was snorting and didn't dare to speak, so she continued, "I know that the murderer is not you, and I can avenge you by recruiting it according to the truth." ”
Wang Ji raised his eyes to look at the woman with a hat in front of him, covered with white gauze, he couldn't see his face clearly, he only felt that his voice was sweet and clear, it was very good, his eyes rolled a few times, as if he thought of something, and replied steadily, "Back to the prince, miss, before the villain and Yinshuang became friends, he had a relationship with Jinxuan, a popular corner of Jinyunlou, I don't know when this shark silk disappeared, and I don't know that Yinshuang is pregnant." ”
Ye Yao looked at Wang Ji, knowing that what he said should be true, and then looked at the troupe owner, where is "Jinxuan".
The head of the class knelt on the ground, didn't dare to raise his head, and replied, "A day ago, the yamen passed the word that the real culprit had been caught, and the action of everyone in the troupe was no longer restricted, so Jin Xuan redeemed herself, and she had left Jianxing early yesterday morning, saying that she didn't want to stay in this sad place. ”
Ye Xingcan thought secretly, as soon as the troupe was unsealed, he immediately ransomed his free body and left, it should have been planned for a long time, and the words "sadly" are probably true.
Ye Yao held Ye Xingcan's hands, nodded to show that he knew what she thought, ordered the government to print a wanted warrant, and asked Huo Yue to pass on the order, ordering the defenders of several neighboring counties to assist in the investigation and arrest Jinxuan.
After finishing speaking, he took Ye Xingcan back to the palace.
Liu Qingrang was confused, but he couldn't catch up, so he had to ask, Ah Can, can I still go to you?
Ye Yao heard the word "Ah Can" shouted from Liu Qingrang's mouth, his whole body was full of discomfort, thinking of the two of them running at night a few days ago, the cold light in his eyes converged, and the hand holding the sword tightened a little. Without waiting for Ah Can's answer, he took the man on the horse and walked away.
Liu Qingrang looked at this familiar scene, and could only shake his head and sigh, full of loneliness.
In the palace, Ye Yao looked at Ye Xingcan, although he tried his best to be jealous, with a faint smile as usual, but his eyes were becoming more and more bottomless.
He stood in front of the Star Moon Pavilion with his hands in his hands, and a long shadow seemed to envelop everything. The two of them were close enough to touch each other's breath, but they were speechless. Ye Yao's gaze gradually sharpened, he could not ask, but he couldn't control the slightest mind.
Ye Xingcan didn't dodge, calmly met his gaze, took a deep breath, looked up at him with a smile, "Brother, I always feel that Lord Liu is close inexplicably, and looking at him like that is reassuring." But I know that in the face of Lord Liu, there will never be a love between men and women, and he is far from the person in my heart. ”
Ye Yao half-opened his lips, and his voice condensed on his lips, after all, it turned into an indistinguishable sigh, and he seemed to be unwilling, and asked, "What should the person in Ah Can's heart be?" ”
"The posture is upright and vigorous, just like the words in the book, 'Raise your eyes and look at the blue sky, as bright as a jade tree in front of the wind'." Ye Xingcan was smiling, his eyes were heavy, and he didn't know whether it was true or not.
Ye Yao raised his head slightly, closed his eyes, and finally let go of the heart that hung on Liu Qingrang, tightened his wrist, and dragged her back into his arms, his eyes were as hot as fire, "Where the blade goes, it is like a sudden shock; Where the blade goes, it is like a long river bursting its embankment. Can, that's me? ”
It's just a smile, no longer entangled.
A day later, news came from the government that Jinxuan had been arrested. Fu Yin knew that the king of Yongning would come, so he changed the public trial to an in-court interrogation, so as to abandon the idle people and so on.
Ye Xingcan looked at the woman kneeling in the hall, more than twenty years old, although she was wearing a coarse cloth shirt, she still saw a slender figure, full of charm, and a natural hint of coquettishness in her eyes.
There is no need to be punished, Jin Xuan will be recruited.
This Young Master Wang is a swinger, a few months ago, Jinyunlou came to Jianxing to sing on stage, Young Master Wang fell in love at first sight, so he gave up the prostitute - the hall was good, and came to listen to the play every day.
On the stage, the sheng strings and gongs and drums, the good show is on stage. Outside the stage, Wang Ji made a generous move, and Jinxuan was the red corner of Jinyunlou, and after coming and going, the two had a private relationship, and when the love was strong, they promised each other for life.
It's just that the falling flowers are really intentional, but the flowing water is ruthless, Wang Ji just thinks it's fresh, and if he really gets it, he will fade away, and he is used to wandering, how can he stop for a play, not to mention that he also knows that his family will not agree to marry a play, and he never thought of being responsible for Jinxuan.
Although Jin Xuan has never read a book, she has entered the rivers and lakes early, and she has experienced too many children's love in drama, and she has a delicate heart, how can she not know that Lang's heart has changed. Ben was also free and easy, but he didn't want to, he saw the silk handkerchief embroidered by Yinshuang in Wang Ji's hands, and without waiting for verification, she saw Wang Ji coming out of the Yinshuang house one evening, she rushed in, only to see Yinshuang disheveled, full of fragrance.
Yinshuang has been practicing with Jinxuan since she was a child, and the two are not only masters and apprentices, but also sisters, and they are almost inseparable from the audience. Jin Xuan can tolerate her lover's change of heart, but she can't stand Yinshuang's betrayal.
On the second day of the eighth month, he made an appointment with Wang Ji in the name of Yinshuang, and strangled Yinshuang before Wang Ji arrived, leaving Shark Silk.
Ye Xingcan heard the end, only felt a breath in his heart, but he didn't know what to say, Ye Yao felt that she was uncomfortable, so he grabbed her shoulders and signaled that he was by his side. Then he looked at Jin Xuan indifferently and said slowly, "The deceased is wearing a green snake costume, and you play the role of a white snake in the play?" ”
Jin Xuan didn't know who the man on Fu Yin's side was, she only felt that this life was good-looking, and she was full of awe-inspiring air, so she didn't dare to look at it more.
Hearing his question, and seeing that Fu Yin didn't stop it, he guessed that his identity was not low, although he felt that this question was strange, he just nodded, bowed his head and said respectfully, "The folk girl has always played the role of the white snake, and Yinshuang is young, and the green snake who has been rehearsing has only appeared on stage together for more than two months." ”
Ye Yao raised his head, closed his eyes, sighed, and asked Fu Yin to read the testimony of Wang Ji's new record yesterday.
This Wang Ji knew that he had cleared the suspicion, and the clearer he said it, the more beneficial it was, so he no longer concealed it, and when it came to the details of his relationship with the two women, his eyebrows fluttered, and he was frivolous.
After all, Fu Yin is a scholar, and those obscene words are difficult to say, so he only picks up the key points.
The previous content is the same, a few months ago, watching a play in the theater, Wang Ji and Jin Xuanfang secretly promised to come to win the lottery every day, and the woman in the theater thought that she had met true love, and fell into the gentle dream of her lover, and she didn't want to take her life.
It's just that there is a lot of difference in the back. That day, Wang Ji went to find Jinxuan to be happy again, but he met Yinshuang who was practicing his body in the background, and it was normal for the prodigal son to see that one person loved another, so he asked someone to inquire about Yinshuang's residence, sneaked in at night, and was romantic all night.
When Fu Yin read this, looking at the description on the testimony, he also felt unbearable, and understood that this so-called one-night affair was strong. When Jin Xuan heard this, she was also stunned, her eyes widened, and she couldn't believe it.
Fu Yin continued to read that Wang Ji had a quirk, and after he was happy, he liked to leave a woman's personal belongings, and this shark silk had been kept close to Yinshuang, and was later taken away by Wang Ji.
After that night, Yinshuang felt deeply ashamed of Jinxuan, who had always been regarded as her sister, and because of her humble status, the drama and the young master, not to mention ruining the reputation, a few people would stand on her side, and she didn't dare to report the case, so she could only swallow all the humiliation silently.
No, Wang Ji found that Yinshuang was timid and afraid, but he didn't admire him like other women, he was more interested in her, and often found opportunities to harass her.
On that day, she received a message that Yinshuang had a secret meeting with herself, and felt that this woman had been conquered after all, so she went away without having time to think about it. I didn't want to push the door and saw that Yinshuang was dead, and the three souls scared away the two souls, and fled to the field.
When Jin Xuan heard this, she thought of seeing Yinshuang with red eyes before, and then she knew that she was being bullied by Wang Ji's brute, she felt pain and blamed herself, tears couldn't stop flowing, and she choked up, "Why don't you tell me, why don't you tell me......"
Ye Yao looked at the grief-stricken Jin Xuan and said lightly, "Have you seen the embroidery on the silk?" Don't you wonder, why did she wear the green snake costume that night? I guess she didn't struggle too much when she was dying, right? ”
Jin Xuan's hands trembled, gently stroked the silk, tears flowed, and as if he thought of something, he cried, and suddenly laughed, crying and laughing, and then he ignored the obstruction of the officer, stood up, stumbled and sang the legend of the white snake......
"Listening to the sad voice outside the Qing'er Tower, reminiscing about the old and adding sorrow, it is difficult for you to be infatuated, and you are connected by heart and ...... inch" The whole person is crazy.
Ye Xingcan remembered that night, the face of the silver frost he saw was calm and soft, not as hideous as the unjust death, and seeing Jinxuan's reaction, he also understood the cause and effect, and was stunned on the spot.
Ye Yao instructed him not to embarrass the woman who was already crazy before the execution, so he took Ye Xingcan back to the house.
On the fish viewing platform by Yanfei Lake, Ye Xingcan ignored Ye Yao's obstruction, took off his shoes and socks, and immersed his feet in the water, but he was reluctant to speak.
Ye Yao saw it in her eyes, and her heart was uncomfortable, so she also learned from her to take off her shoes and socks, pull up her trouser legs, swing her feet in the water, and gently rubbed her hair, and said softly, "Ah Can, the sage said to seek benevolence and be benevolent, and die without complaint." You can only see Silver Frost die in costume, and it is natural to want to catch the murderer and avenge her, and we can't guess what the deceased thinks. ”
Ye Xingcan screamed, and only asked, "That Wang Ji is obviously not a thing, he thought that a woman could be so cheap, that day he said that he didn't remember the shark silk sent by Yinshuang, I should have thought that he didn't care at all." I thought that yin and yang were always fate, so I wanted to arrest the murderer to avenge her, but I didn't know that dying in the hands of the person she cherished the most was the result she wanted. ”
Ye Yao listened to Ye Xingcan's remorse and self-blame, and was even more distressed, so he could only continue to explain her, "No matter whether Yinshuang is willing to die or not, the fetus in her womb is innocent, and no matter how unbearable this Wang Ji is, he also has his own laws and regulations, and it is a great evil for Jin Xuan to easily take two lives to make a mistake." You can't ask Wang Ji to bear the evil done by others because he did something wrong, and you can't let the murderer go unpunished because the deceased is relieved. You're right, it's the hearts of people in this world that are wrong. ”
Finally, he stretched out his hand to her, "Acan, come here." ”
Ye Xingcan let him hold his hand in a daze, and was held by him in the crook of his arm, and met his gaze in a daze. There seemed to be a strange power in his eyes, which was reassuring.
Ye Xingcan was relieved a lot, his mood gradually calmed down, and he remembered the legend of the white snake sung by Jin Xuan a few days ago, and he only felt that there was a sigh of death.
Ye Yao saw that her heart was improving, so he fished out her young white feet from the lake, took off her coat, and wiped them gently, "Ah Can, the world is never black and white, you will know these sooner or later, it's nothing." He smiled calmly, and stroked Ye Xingcan's scattered sideburns, "I have ordered Fu Yin to put Wang Ji in prison, although he is not said to kill, but the crime of adultery-adultery must be implemented, and he will be severely punished." Even if the sky turns upside down, I'm here. ”
