Volume 1: Husband Chapter 39 A String of Grasshoppers (II) [Second Update]
Qing Ruxu went out again and came to Wangjiang Tower, and it was already half a month later.
But the case of Zhao's tofu shop is still hot.
Since the case was solved, Wangjianglou has been overcrowded every day, even if he already knows who the murderer is, but the cause and effect of this, you have to listen to Mr. Bai's story to be satisfied. Even some people couldn't listen to the whole story for half a month, and they jumped to their feet in annoyance, but they were helpless, who made Mr. Bai's story too exciting.
Qing Ruxu was still dressed in men's clothes, still sitting in the position on the second floor, and at this time Bai Jingze was talking about the part where Huang Ying came to Zhao's tofu shop late at night:
Liu Dabao has been ridiculed for a long time because of the unclear relationship between his wife and Zhao Qian, and he doesn't know how much resentment he has in his heart and nowhere to vent. However, Huang Ying and Du Wenxian are both not deeply involved in the world, how do they know that Liu Dabao's face is good and evil, and he actually bumped into his hands late at night! It's like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger without knowing it! Bai Jingze's hand was shocked, and the eyes of the listener looking at him were suddenly full of nervousness.
"Huang Ying is a girl who doesn't know the world, and Du Wenxian is also a weak scholar, because they are in their sister's house, they have no defense against Liu Dabao. Liu Dabao saw that Huang Ying was beautiful, so he temporarily changed his mind and put the sweat medicine that he had prepared to stun Huang Li into the water for the two of them to drink! β
The audience sighed when they heard this, and they wished that at this time, a big man would suddenly rush out and knock over the sweat medicine in front of them and save people from fire and water.
"Alas......" Bai Jingze let out a long sigh.
Anyone can guess what happened next, and the audience talked about it.
"It's really providential!"
"I didn't expect Liu Dabao to do such a thing! It's really a beast! β
"It's all to blame on the Qin family and Zhao Qian, if it weren't for the shamelessness of the two of them, how could they lead to the next thing?"
"That's it! Isn't the death of these people retribution! β
"It's a pity that this pair of lovers who don't guess!"
Bai Jingze saw that the atmosphere in the audience had arrived, and the sound of a startled pop settled down, and the banquet became silent again.
Huang Ying only took a small sip of water at that time, so she woke up quickly, but she soon found that she was disheveled, and there were bursts of pain under her body, where did she not understand what was happening? But what's the use? Everything has happened and there is no way to get it back. She looked at Du Wenxian, who fell to the ground and didn't know who was wrong, and covered her cherry lips and silently shed tears. β
When the hateful Liu Dabao saw that Huang Ying was awake, he threatened her to keep her mouth shut, otherwise, he would kill Du Wenxian with one sword! How can the poor little girl have any other choice, she is already a broken flower and a willow, and she has no face to face Du Wenxian again, so she pretended to promise Liu Dabao, planning to deceive Du Wenxian after he wakes up, and then die with Liu Dabao! β
Everyone followed his words, regretful for a while, angry for a while, and knew the end of the story, but they still couldn't help but follow him into those ups and downs, listening with bated breath all the way, and refusing to miss a single star.
Du Wenxian woke up slowly, didn't know what was going on, saw Huang Ying sitting there without saying a word, and asked. Huang Ying endured the grievances and hatred, and told Du Wenxian that she had repented, and that she would go home early tomorrow morning and obey her father's arrangement to marry the Yang family. Du Wenxian refused to believe it, but Huang Ying was resolute and said that the two should not have any contact in the future. Under Huang Ying's repeated persecution, Du Wenxian was heartbroken and left the ...... alone"
Qing Ruxu drank tea in the atmosphere of everyone's sudden enthusiasm and downturn, and couldn't help sighing: "This Huang Ying is also naΓ―ve, she is a weak girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, where can she fight against the strong Liu Dabao?" It's just a life for nothing. β
"That's right, since Liu Dabao has bad intentions, he must be on guard." Shizhou's face was full of indignation. "But this Liu Dabao is also a bad seed, Huang Ying fell into the well and drowned, he was afraid, so that his heart was on fire, and he died of illness! What a bargain for him! β
Lan Zhou said: "I think that Du Wenxian is also very hateful!" I don't even have the most basic survival skills, I can be deceived easily, and I even have to elope with Huang Ying! Isn't it irresponsible? β
"What Sister Lan Zhou said makes sense." Shizhou agreed with her statement very much, "And Huang Ying suddenly said that he wouldn't go with him, it was obviously very suspicious, he actually left like that!" If he asks a few more words, maybe Huang Ying won't die. β
Qing Ruxu sighed, "The world is harsh, and rumors are fiercer than tigers." Even if Huang Ying doesn't die, can he live in peace? β
The two girls fell silent for a moment.
However, Lan Zhou is right. This Du Wenxian is indeed not a person worth relying on, he can't even protect himself, Huang Ying's death, he has an unshirkable responsibility. β
According to what Du Wenxian said, after he left, he walked for a long time in a daze, until he fell into the river and choked on his heart.
The cold river water made him wake up quickly, and he began to wonder how he could have fallen asleep inexplicably when he was in the Zhao family's tofu shop? The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and after walking half the way, he decided to go back to Huang Ying to ask for an understanding. This back and forth is exactly one day and one night.
Who knew that when he returned to the capital, he heard someone talking about the five lives of the Zhao family's tofu shop, and the suspect was himself. Du Wenxian was shocked, and subconsciously felt that this matter could not be easily ascertained, so he wanted to leave the city. Unexpectedly, I happened to meet the officers and soldiers holding sea fishing papers and pasting them at the gate of the city, and began to interrogate passers-by. In a panic, he found a place to hide.
Shizhou peeled a grape and gave it to Qing Ruxu, and said, "Hmph, this Du Wenxian is a coward!" β
When the master and servant came back to their senses, Bai Jingze had already said to the end: "Huang Sanyuan finally admitted that he killed Zhao Qian by mistake, and the disaster of imprisonment was inevitable, and the Huang family was defeated, many subordinates fled with money, and the aunts who had no children were scattered, and the two dead children of the Huang family were only hastily buried, and there was no funeral arrangement, and this vigorous tragedy ended with such a tragic ending......"
The weather in June is warm and pleasant, and there are more vendors and merchants inside and outside the streets.
Qing Ruxu came out of the Wangjiang Building, and saw a merchant passing by, she saw that there were a lot of fresh gadgets in the merchant's flat shoulder, so she stopped him, picked up a straw grasshopper, and asked, "How to sell this?" β
"This grasshopper is a penny." The merchant saw that she was dressed as a wealthy family, so he said, "Is the son going to buy it for his younger brothers and sisters?" Why don't you buy a cloth tiger? β
Qingruxu heard him ask, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, where did she want to buy it for others, it was because she thought it was novel and interesting, so she wanted to buy it for fun. "No...... I'm just going to take a look......"
She said in embarrassment and turned around to leave, but heard a voice sound behind her: "Just bring me a string of grasshoppers!" β
"A string of grasshoppers...... The merchant was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Okay! β
The merchant moved quickly, and in three or five strokes, he braided five or six grasshoppers into a string and handed it to Jiang Rin, Jiang Rin paid the money, put the string of grasshoppers in front of Qing Ruxu's eyes, and said with a smile: "Here, a grasshopper on a rope." β
Qingru glared: "You are the grasshopper!" β
Jiang Rin raised the string of grasshoppers and shook it, and said, "Okay, then...... I'm a grasshopper on your rope......"
Qingru Xu was stunned, her cheeks turned red, and she didn't say a word for a long time, and finally stomped her foot fiercely and made a clear footprint on Jiang Rin's shoes! Then ran away.
Jiang Rin hooked his lips and looked at Qing Ruxu, who was running away, then looked down at the small and delicate footprints on the upper, and said to the stunned Xiong Yishan and Liang Chen: "Go back and put away these shoes." β
"Huh?" Xiong Yishan looked at the back of his son-in-law, and he didn't know why: "Son, this is going to offer the eldest girl as an ancestor?" Do you want to collect even footprints? β
"What nonsense, Childe is in, hurry up and follow!" Liang Chen pulled Xiong Yishan into Wangjiang Tower, and then said: "These are all evidence of Gongzi's 'intentions' for the eldest girl!" β
"Oh......" Xiong Yishan let out a long sigh, and suddenly realized: "It turns out that Childe is going to make a move!" β
"Shot?" Liang Chen really couldn't understand Xiong Yishan's train of thought.
Xiong Yishan said "oops", with a look of "why are you so stupid", and said: "Cheated on my daughter-in-law!" β
Liang Chen was speechless: "Okay, what you said is not wrong......
This Xiang Qingru ran away from the distance, and only then did she catch her: "Girl, don't run, I can't see the shadow of Jiang Gongzi for a long time!" β
Qing Ruxu stopped at this time and exhaled the breath held in his chest. Lan Zhou gasped for a while: "The girl's body is really getting better and better!" The slaves and maids were tired, but the girl was fine...... Hey? What does the girl have on her waist? β
"Huh?" Qing Ruxu looked down in confusion and saw a string of grasshoppers hanging on her waist at some point! She ripped it off and said angrily: "This Jiang Rin, when did you put it on me!" β
The two girls couldn't help but laugh. Shizhou asked, "Girl, why does Jiang Gongzi say that you are grasshoppers on a rope?" β
Qing Ruxu wanted to throw away the grasshopper, but after hesitating, he still squeezed it in his hand, and said: "In the previous case of the Zhao family's tofu shop, Jingzhao Yin Qin Si was anxious for quick success, interrogated Du Wenxian overnight, and tortured him to extract a confession, Du Wenxian couldn't stand the torture and confessed. As a result, the next day, Jiang Rin participated in the trial of the Three Law Divisions as a co-acquaintance of the Imperial City Division, and recounted the case in detail from beginning to end, proving Du Wenxian's innocence. β
Qin Siyuan was beaten into a move, and the imperial history platform wrote to impeach him, saying that he was unworthy of being the people's parents and officials, and the emperor was angry, not only Qin Siyuan was demoted by three levels, but many of his related people were dismissed and investigated.
"Qin Siyuan is Concubine Hui's maiden brother, and Jiang Rin came out this time to offend Concubine Hui. And last time, in order to help the fourteenth princess, I also offended Concubine Hui and the eleventh princess mother and daughter, so he said what grasshoppers on a rope! β
Shizhou sneered when he heard this, "Why does the slave think that Jiang Gongzi is deliberately getting close to the girl!" β
