Chapter 6: Xia He (2)

Zhang Gongzi once said that he would redeem her and marry her home.

She was happy for a long time, and thought to herself, "It's finally time to get through." Although I want to be a concubine, after all, I live the life of a big family, and it is better than facing different guests every day in this 'Fengyue Building', and flirting with them against my will. ”

However, the truth is often unexpected. She didn't wait for Zhang Gongzi to redeem her. She unconsciously found that every time Zhang Gongzi came, the sister she was looking for was no longer her, but Chun Tao. She gradually sobered up, and realized that her Zhang Gongzi was robbed by Chun Tao.

At first, she was disheartened. feels that Zhang Gongzi is also a heartless person, and the sweet words he said to her are nothing more than a whim after drinking. But the emotional seedling in her heart is gradually growing, slowly forming a bud, as long as it continues to be infused with the rain and dew of love, it can bloom beautifully.

Xia He was heartbroken, she was overwhelmed by this sudden change. She could no longer concentrate on facing the other guests with a smile, and all that came to her mind was Zhang Gongzi's figure of the jade tree in the wind. It was only at this time that she deeply realized what it was like to love someone. She fell in love with Zhang Gongzi deeply and couldn't extricate herself, what she gave Zhang Gongzi was not only her body, but also her heart.

The world says that the woman in the first love is the most infatuated, and Xia He is no exception. She felt like a hungry fawn in the forest, and she saw a clear spring hidden in the depths of the forest from afar. What is presented in front of your eyes is nothing but a beautiful dream.

Later, she woke up from her dream. But she didn't resent Zhang Gongzi, because Zhang Gongzi gave her a taste of love. What she resents is Chun Tao, if there is no Chun Tao, maybe Zhang Gongzi will not change his mind.

Since then, she has developed a love for drinking. In the past, he had to drink for the money in his guest's money bag, and later he drank to numb his fragile nerves. She was originally a very timid person, but every time she drank alcohol, she became even more daring. Perhaps, it was alcohol that released all the resentment she had in her heart against Chun Tao.

Just last night, Aunt Feng arranged several tables of wine banquets for everyone in the front building. It was not only the sisters in the 'Fengyue Building' who were invited, but also some guests who often came to visit, including Zhang Gongzi.

Xia He was lucky to sit at the same table as Zhang Gongzi, but they were not next to each other, but Zhang Gongzi sat opposite Xia He.

At the beginning, Zhang Gongzi sat on both sides of his sisters who were unfamiliar with him, and then somehow, one of the sisters actually changed places with Chun Tao at the other table, which made Xia He's heart very depressed. She originally looked at Chun Tao not very pleasing to the eye, but now Chun Tao actually took the initiative to sit next to Zhang Gongzi.

The most annoying thing is that every time Chun Tao picks vegetables for Zhang Gongzi, she has to take a provocative look at Xia He. Xia He was blown up by air, but it was not good to have a seizure on the spot. I can only swallow my anger and drink alcohol, when I don't see anything.

Zhang Gongzi probably found out that Xia He was unhappy, and he took the initiative to talk to Xia He, but every time his words were taken by Chun Tao. In the end, Chun Tao shamelessly pulled Zhang Gongzi's face, so that he could only face himself. She pretended to be delicate while feeding the vegetables to Zhang Gongzi's mouth: "I am your sweetheart, what do you always watch her do?" ”

The blatant flirting scene that happened in front of them made the other sisters at the same table all bow their heads and let out a laugh. But Xia He couldn't laugh, her heart was already burning with rage, and she couldn't wait to eat the spring peach alive immediately. The pig-killing knife in the backyard kitchen came to her mind, and she thought to herself, "Don't be complacent too early, wait until the banquet is over, and see how I settle accounts with you." Even if you are a vixen who has cultivated for thousands of years, I will beat you back to your original form. The tiger is not powerful, you really think I am a sick cat! ”

I finally stayed up until the end of the banquet.

Xia He was the first to return to the 'Fengyue Pavilion' with the support of the maid Lingyu.

She sent Lingyu away and left the door open. In the end, she lay on the bed and waited for Chun Tao to come back, silently thinking about how to clean her up for a while.

Soon, Chun Tao returned to the room with the help of Liuzhu.

Xia He staggered over.

She sent Liuzhu away and saw Chun Tao lying on the bed. She scolded Chun Tao, "You little fox, you are really stinky." You rob anyone's man, you are too lacking in morality. ”

Chun Tao sat up from the bed and said slowly to Xia He: "Sister Xia He, are you in love with Zhang Gongzi, I advise you to wake up!" Zhang Gongzi came to us to have fun, not to find true love. If you fall in love with him, you're asking for your own trouble. ”

Xia He felt dizzy, and she shouted loudly, "You fart!" You've robbed me of my guests, and you're justified. ”

Chun Tao stood up from the bed, and she also shouted loudly, "You just fart!" What do you mean that I robbed your guest, it was Zhang Gongzi who took the initiative to find me, can I refuse? ”

Xia He said: "How could Zhang Gongzi take the initiative to find you?" It's clear that you seduced him first. ”

Chun Tao quibbled: "Even if I seduce him, what can I do?" If you want to blame it, blame yourself for not having the charm to keep him. ”

Xia He scolded loudly: "What a shame! I'm going to tear your mouth apart. ”

She rushed forward, grabbed Chun Tao's hair, and tore it hard.

Chun Tao lowered her head and pushed her hard.

Xia He was pushed back a few steps, let go of his hand, and pushed Chun Tao hard.

Chun Tao's feet slipped, her head hit the corner of the table, and she fell to the ground. She leaned on the chair next to her and tried to stand up, but she pulled the chair down, and she didn't get up, but lay on the ground.

Xia He saw that Chun Tao's forehead was bleeding, and most of the anger in his heart disappeared. She dragged Chun Tao up from the ground and helped her to the bed again.

Chun Tao lay on the bed in a daze, Xia He took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on her forehead, faintly scared in her heart. Chun Tao muttered, "Hurry up and get out!" I don't want to see you. ”

Xia He covered her with a quilt and walked out of the room......

At this time, he walked in with a piece of paper in his hand. Xia He came back to her senses and looked at the back of the pretend, not knowing what would be waiting for her.

He walked to Zhao Tianyou's desk and said loudly: "My lord, the corpse experience is good, this is the autopsy list." ”

Zhao Tianyou took a sip of tea, "Read!" ”

He cleared his throat, "Yes, the deceased is a woman, about twenty years old, five feet three inches tall. The time of death was last night. There was an apparent bump on the right side of the body's forehead, which was examined as new. There were three stab wounds to the chest and abdomen. The deceased had minor abrasions on his mouth and nose and bleeding from his eyelids, and the cause of death was suffocation. According to my observations at the scene, it should have been covered with a quilt. ”

Zhao Tianyou said: "When I watched the scene, I thought she died of suffocation. It's just that what about the three knife wounds in the chest and abdomen? ”

"According to my experience, it should be that the deceased was stabbed three more times after his death, and there was very little bleeding around the wound. ”

Zhao Tianyou asked suspiciously: "You mean, the murderer stabbed Chun Tao three times after covering Chun Tao to death?" Isn't that redundant? Just kill her with a knife. ”

He guessed and replied: "My lord, maybe the murderer wants to vent his anger after killing someone, or he is afraid that she is not dead." ”

Zhao Tianyou waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go down to rest first, and then tell me if you find anything." ”

"Yes, the subordinates retired."

He put the autopsy sheet on the table and turned to go out......

Zhao Tianyou has been in an irritable mood lately. Originally, there were several cases in his hand that had not yet been solved, but this 'Fengyue Building' had another murder case.

Fengyue Lou has a high-walled compound, the front and back doors are guarded, and it is difficult for people outside to enter, this murderer should be in the 'Fengyue Tower'.

He glanced at Xia He, who was kneeling below, and a question rose in his heart, "Could it be that the murderer is really not her?" Who could that be? Chun Tao has three knife wounds on her body, where is this knife? He thought about it, but still didn't have a clue.

He waved his hand at the official standing below, "Let's take her down first." ”

Prefect's prison.

The cold, damp ground was covered with a layer of straw, and the pungent smell of decay mixed with the air. There were a few dim oil lamps burning on the walls of the corridor of the cell, and the faint light could barely illuminate Xia He, who was sitting in the corner of the cell. She lowered her head and said only one sentence over and over again: "I was wronged, I didn't kill anyone." ”

Aunt Feng gave the cell boss a little silver and said a few good words with a smiling face. The cell boss whispered, "Say a few words and come out, I'm taking the risk!" ”

Aunt Feng nodded and walked in with a box of pastries.

She squatted down and looked at Xia He, whose face was haggard, and tears couldn't stop flowing, "Good boy, you have suffered." ”

Xia He saw Aunt Feng coming to see her, as if she had seen a savior. She immediately climbed over, grabbed the wooden railing of the cell with her hands, and said with a pleading face, "Auntie, get me out quickly." I didn't kill anyone, and I didn't kill Chun Tao. ”

Aunt Feng said: "In the 'Fengyue Tower', no one knows that I am your aunt, don't call me aunt in the future, let's call it Aunt Feng." ”

She raised her hand to wipe her tears, and then said, "I know you didn't kill anyone, you don't even dare to kill chickens, how dare you kill people!" It's just that this Lord Zhao Tianyou is a faint official, and he has no ability to find the real murderer, so it is very likely that you will be guilty. Just now I took a hundred taels of silver tickets to see him, and he confiscated them. He said, 'It's very likely that the murderer is Xia He, but no evidence has been found. 'I can't help you out for the time being, so I can only sneak in to see you first, have the people here embarrassed you? ”

Xia He shook his head.

Soon, she showed a frightened expression on her face again, "I didn't kill anyone, I don't want to die!" Auntie, hurry up and find a way to get me out! ”

Aunt Feng took out a piece of pastry and handed it to Xia He, "Good boy, you can eat something first." ”

At this time, the cell boss shouted loudly outside: "Hurry up, don't embarrass me." ”

Aunt Feng said: "Good boy, you are wronged here for a few days first, and then I will think of a way!" With that, she turned and went out.

Xia He looked at Aunt Feng's back blankly, and slowly shed two lines of tears on her dirty little face......
