Shucheng County, the capital of Luzhou in Nanzhili, is not a good place, but after all, it is under the jurisdiction of Nanzhili, although the permanent population is not much, but it is misty and misty, and it is favored by literati and ink writers.

Whether it is true talent or vassal elegance, the literati are always rich, and those who have no money also want the literati to save face and shelf, so those who can travel around, even if they borrow money, are willing to spend money, so that Shucheng County will be lively.

It is a light rain in the sky, many people are boating to enjoy the rain, or singing or fishing, wine with fresh breeze, it is a scenery like a painting.

A canopy boat, let go on the river, looks like a little down-and-out people, just holding a sword, and an extremely large wine gourd is placed next to it, quite like Li Taibai's drunken immortal appearance of swimming in the lake.

He took a sip of wine, looked up at the sky, and let the rain splash on his face.

Boats kept passing by his canopy boat, and from time to time there were the slightly vulgar and meaningful laughter of men and women, and some poor and sour poems, just seeking to be plain, piling up rhetoric, no disease*, no charm.

There are also some laughing boat girls, playing small tunes that are only worth five cents, and the tunes are also a little out of shape, and they sound like they can be called pianos with strings hanging on the door panel.

A painting boat that looks not small, comes from the water, there are many servants on the boat, the sound of silk and bamboo continues, the boatman works hard to support the penny, the boss at the bow sees the canopy boat in front of him, and hurriedly shouts loudly, but the canopy boat is unmoved.

The captain of the boat pulled out a long penny, pressed against the bow of the canopy boat, and tried to push the awning boat aside, but the canopy boat was spinning in place, but the downcast man on the boat turned a deaf ear and turned a blind eye.

The movement in the bow of the ship soon attracted the literati, noblemen and beauties in the cabin, and everyone was also fresh, laughing at the down-and-out people who didn't know what to do, and also ridiculing the old man of the ship for being simple and not knowing how to do things.

There are also some self-proclaimed high-minded, only to feel that they don't eat the fireworks of the world, and feel that all this in front of them is full of rural slang, but they secretly look at the butt of the beautiful family brought by the brother in front of them.

The boss of the ship was also anxious, so he could only ask the officials on the ship for help with his eyes, but everyone only said verbally, some people said that they would hit him directly, so they didn't believe that he didn't hide, anyway, the boat was bigger and wouldn't suffer.

Some people say that if the boat capsizes, this down-and-out person is also pitiful, and some people are a little clever, saying that this down-and-out person is so indifferent on the boat, it should be a person on the water, even if the boat capsizes and falls into the water, there will be nothing wrong.

Just as he was talking excitedly, a middle-aged Confucian in the cabin looked towards the old avenue of the boat: "This water surface is not ours, the boats come and go, everyone is free, you only know how to drive away, this water surface is not your family?" ”

Everyone was ashamed and didn't dare to raise their heads, so the middle-aged Confucian walked to the bow of the boat and said to the downcast: "This friend, I'm Cui Jianzhou in Luzhou, it's raining heavily outside, and your boat is small, why don't you get on the boat and take shelter from the rain?" ”

Cui Jianzhou is also a beautiful person in the Luzhou literary circle, but the other party doesn't seem to be interested, he still just looks at the sky, as if he has doubts and can't understand, so he can only ask the sky to borrow two taels of rain to drown his sorrows.

The beautiful woman next to him said to Cui Jianzhou: "This person doesn't understand the amorous feelings, why should Cui everyone worry, or go back to the boat to chant poems, the concubine got a new song two days ago, and she wants to offer ugliness......"

When everyone heard this, they also echoed it, but Cui Jianzhou's face was ugly, and he couldn't get off the stage, he was Cui Jianzhou in Luzhou, and as long as the entire Nanzhili was studying, who had never heard of his name?

The more everyone persuaded him, the more ugly Cui Jianzhou's face became, and he instructed the boss of the boat: "This friend is only afraid that he is deaf, you throw a hook and pull his boat over!" ”

The boat boss got the order, then commanded the boatmen, pulled the canopy boat over, the down-and-out people on the boat just looked up, the boatmen are all begging for a living from the dragon king, and the boat has also seen a lot of people in the rivers and lakes, people in the rivers and lakes, they are worthy of being called people in the rivers and lakes, they have seen this kind of look, even if they retreated.

But the man just withdrew his eyes, stood up slowly, and boarded the ship without a sword or a gourd.

Cui Jianzhou's face was a little better, and everyone returned to the cabin, the beautiful woman really began to stroke the piano, this new song is really refreshing, Cui Jianzhou and others are very appreciative, and they are chanting poems and composing, so lively.

Cui Jianzhou glanced at the down-and-out person outside, showed his intentions, and asked the man, "What does this friend think?" ”

The down-and-out man just shook his head and took off his hat, and at this time everyone inevitably exclaimed in a low voice, although this man looked at his beard and was a little downcast, but he could still see his handsome face.

Without saying a word, he walked straight up to the beautiful woman, stretched out his palm, and made a gesture of invitation.

The beautiful woman didn't know why, but she was attracted by the light of his eyes, and saw that his fingers were slender and white, and they were the hands that only Fuqin immortals had, so she was stunned and let them aside.

The down-and-out man stroked the strings, closed his eyes slightly, just jingle the bell, and then heard the weakness of the strings, he reached out and plucked the hairpin on the beautiful woman's head, and the beautiful woman wanted to stop it too late, and her face was flushed with shame.

Cui Jianzhou was about to reprimand the man for being rude, but he saw that the man inserted the hairpin into the strings and twisted it around, and the strings suddenly tightened, as if they would be broken at any moment!

"Zheng!"

The downcast pulled the strings like a sword unsheathed, and then there was another sound, and the man finally spoke.

"Rain Pitang May autumn. Send it back and keep it. And stop the boat. Listen to my liju and sing through Luzhou. Helplessly, the green window eyebrows lock hatred, love and vein, and think about it. ”

"Fellow villagers turn into foreign homesickness. Good strategy. Make the most of it. I don't see Lu Yan, talk and laugh and look for the marquis. Xun Ye didn't even ask at this time. Books are convenient, but they can't be sent. ”

Cui Jianzhou and the others here are even vassals and elegant, and they are immersed in the literary world all the year round, and they still have the ability to appreciate it, and when they hear this, they are all dead silent!

Don't listen to the sound of the piano, just talk about this Jiang Chengzi, it is a hand-me-down, don't listen to this word, only listen to the sound of the piano, it should only be in the sky, but it is bad in the world!

Because this down-and-out man only used one string from beginning to end, which was the single string he raised with a hairpin, obviously there was only one string, but he played a sad and cool and distant Zheng Zheng tragedy!

The down-and-out man seemed to have long been accustomed to it, and as if he missed the eyes of this kind of worship, he still quietly took off the hairpin, slowly stood up, inserted the hairpin back into the beautiful woman's bun, gently lifted the beautiful woman's chin with his right hand, looked at her face left and right, shook his head gently, and seemed to not agree with the beautiful woman's posture, so he returned to the canopy boat in the consternation of a boatload of people!

Cui Jianzhou thought that he would be very angry, after all, his woman was offended, but he only had that word in his mind, only that song, as if the magic sound fairy was singing, no matter how it lingered!

The beautiful woman thought she would be ashamed, but when the man pinched her chin with the hand of the harp, her heart beat faster, and at that moment, she was like a dead person who had regained her familiar breath, as if she had returned to the carefree days at home!

She followed the man's back in a trance, until his canopy disappeared into the water.

The light rain became heavier and heavier, stirring up a mist on the water, and gradually engulfing the painting boat in the smoke and rain.

About an hour later, a clipper caught up from behind, rowed quickly past the side of the boat, and was about to disappear into the smoke and rain on the river, but the boat suddenly turned around and returned to the boat.

Several people on the clipper boat were dressed in hats and swords, the first of them had gray hair, carried a huge sword box on his back, and a long knife was stuck in his waist, and the rain stuck his hair to his face, although his face was tired, his eyes were full of fighting spirit.

"Your Excellency, is this ship odd?"

Li Mi looked at Sarufei Sasuke, and then at Suo Changsheng, who looked at the boat from afar, and said to Li Mi: "The rain is too heavy, covering the bloody gas...... How did Brother Li see it? ”

Li Mi looked at the boat and explained to the two: "Although ours is a fast boat, it is not as fast as this, although there are boatmen on this boat, but there is no sound, haven't you noticed that this boat has no boat?" ”

Liu Zhibei looked at it and couldn't help sighing: "If that's the case, it's still Lord Li's good eyesight......

Li Mi shook his head lightly and said to a few people: "Go over and take a look." ”

However, when they boarded the ship, they frowned, for they finally knew why the ship's penny was gone!

The boatmen on the deck had been nailed to the ship by section by section, and the cabin was already strewn with corpses, blood mixed with rain, soaking up to their ankles!

"This Zhou Yu is crazy!"

Even Zhen Mi, who used to kill people without blinking, was inevitably shocked by the scene in front of them!

Li Mi walked to the cabin, looked at it, and said to everyone: "Like the previous murders, it was not Zhou Yu's hand. ”

Several people followed Li Mi all the way south to track, and learned a lot of things from Li Mi's side, and they were all shrewd people, so they just checked the wounds of these corpses, and they were all surprised.

These wounds were wide and short, and they were all slashes, not punctures, they should be knife wounds, and Zhou Yu used the Heavenly Sword.

"Adults mean that someone is also tracking Zhou Yu like us? It's just that we are one step ahead, for fear that the people on this ship will leak Zhou Yu's traces, so they kill people? ”

Liu Zhibei is an extremely thoughtful person, and he is well versed in the rules of the rivers and lakes, he is very familiar with the geography of mountains and rivers in various places, and the gangs in the rivers and lakes, and he also has a relationship with the head snake, so Li Mi took him all the way.

"Not necessarily, it may be for Zhou Yu to deal with the aftermath, but I'm afraid that Zhou Yu will do these cases behind his back......"

When Liu Zhibei heard this, he inevitably asked Li Mi: "How did you know about it?" ”

Li Mi pointed to the piano in the corner and said: "This piano is the cleanest in the whole scene, and the murderer even put the piano in a high place, just for fear of blood staining, it can be seen that he knows that Zhou Yu loves the piano more than his lover, these people can kill, but Zhou Yu can't let Zhou Yu know that he soaked the piano in blood......

Liu Zhibei also nodded, because he also knew that from the scene, it could be seen that these people were holding a banquet, and the piano should be played on the piano stand, and these people were all killed, it could not be that these people put the piano in a high place, and it could only be Zhou Yu or the murderer.

If Zhou Yu did it, when the murderer killed someone, it would inevitably cause a riot, and the cabin was in a mess, why was this piano not stained with blood?

It can only be said that after this person boarded the ship, he first collected the qin, killed everyone, and then gently put the qin away with a sense of ceremony!

Seeing this meeting, Suo Changsheng inevitably sighed and said, "It's a step too late...... We chased all the way from south to north, and when will we be able to chase it......"

Li Mi walked out of the cabin, looked at the riverbank in front of him, and said to himself, "It's not far away......"

Yes, the fallen leaves return to the roots, people always have unforgettable feelings, there are characters that will never be forgotten, and of course, there are places that must be returned.

Shucheng County, Luzhou, Zhou Yu's hometown.
