Chapter 40
A child-like person struggled to hold the long qin, slowly walked in front of everyone, put down the long qin with relief, sat down cross-legged, and said in a child's unique voice: "The little woman Chu Luxun brings you a mountain stream. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Lu Xun's fingers gently plucked the strings, and the cold sound of the piano slowly flowed out like a stream, and Mrs. Chu couldn't help but close her eyes and quietly feel the relaxing sound of the piano.
Sometimes soothing like a flowing spring, sometimes low back like a murmur, the sound of the piano is bright and clean, as if it can wash away the glitz and inner fatigue.
A mountain stream ended abruptly at the last note, Chu Shenxia picked up the cup, took a sip, and took a deep look at Lu Xun, who was sitting like pins and needles.
Everyone's faces changed from the initial surprise to the last heartfelt admiration, Pei Shudong sighed in disbelief: "I didn't expect that the rumored No. 1 piano master in Jincheng Tianyu is actually a female doll, amazing, amazing." I'm reckless, and although I don't know what the sound of the piano is, it's really calming. “
King Shun shook his head and answered: "This is not the famous pianist Tianyu in Jincheng, Tianyu has been playing the piano since he was five years old, and he has been playing the piano for more than 20 years, how can he be a little girl?" ”
After a pause, he turned to Chu Shenxia and said: "At first, you said that you wanted to invite the best violinist in Jincheng, I naturally thought it was Tianyu, but who would have thought, come out with a little girl, I secretly mocked you in my heart at that time, after listening to her music, I knew that what you said was true, Lu Xun's piano skills were the same as her, Lu Xun's piano sound was very clean, and a simple piece of music actually made the person she played comfortable from the inside out, which was not comparable to Tianyu's more than 20 years of practice." ”
After everyone listened, they were even more embarrassed, they didn't expect Lu Xun, who was only twelve years old, to have such good skills in playing the piano, and even Tianyu, who was the first in Jincheng piano skills, couldn't compare.
Mrs. Chu seemed to like Lu Xun very much, and beckoned to her, Lu Xun hesitated and stepped forward, and shouted crisply: "Madame." ”
Mrs. Chu immediately laughed and beckoned her to sit beside her, but she shook her head again and again and said that she didn't dare, so she had to grab a bunch of grapes and hand it to her, and then watched her retreat, before sighing and saying, "What a well-behaved girl." ”
Seeing that she liked it, Jing Yan blurted out: "Since Mrs. likes it, let's keep this girl by my side." ”
Mrs. Chu shook her head, and said very regretfully: "Her piano skills are so good, I don't know if the people in the piano workshop are willing to give it." ”
"Mother, she's just a maid in the children's house, if mother likes it..."Chu Shenxia rushed to speak.
He was interrupted by Mrs. Chu only halfway through her words, and looked at Chu Shenxia with some disgust and said, "She definitely doesn't want to be accompanied by me, a half-haired person, so why should I embarrass her?" ”
Pei Shudong hurriedly laughed twice, and said: "I look at this female doll very well, I want to listen to the piano and come to you, you don't want to annoy me." ”
Chu Shenxia followed with a smile and said, "How could it be? Waiting for you at any time. ”
Yongming, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly said: "I'm a little tired, so I'll go back and don't disturb your interest." ”
Mrs. Chu also felt a little tired when she said this, and said, "I'm also a little tired." ”
As he spoke, he was about to get up, and before he got up, a black shadow suddenly flashed in front of him, followed by a dull falling sound, Chu Shenxia waited to see what was busy getting up and blocking Mrs. Chu, but it was too late, Mrs. Chu had already seen it, and her face changed greatly.
A woman in a green robe fell face down to the ground, motionless, blood slowly spilling from under her clothes.
Jing Min left his seat and stepped forward to help Mrs. Chu, Chu Shenxia said with relief Mother don't be afraid, ran to the woman with a white face, turned around slightly, and saw that her angry eyes were long gone, and the blood on her neck was gurgling, obviously she had just died.
Everyone stood away from the table, looking at this scene in amazement, only Banrong stepped out of the seat, squatted down and touched the corpse, with a serious face, as if he didn't care about the dirty blood on this body at all.
"How?" Chu Shenxia asked.
"A single knife kills." Banrong replied without raising his head.
Chu Shenxia nodded and agreed: "A knife to seal her throat, and seeing her look as usual, it is probably an acquaintance." ”
Banrong hastily wiped the blood on the woman's sleeve on the woman's sleeve, and was about to get up, looking back and seeing Mrs. Chu looking at her in shock, she was stunned, and her two hands paused there in embarrassment and didn't know what to say, and explained stupidly: "I'm a doctor, I..."
Chu Shenxia got up and wanted to step forward to help his mother, but when he saw the dirty blood on his hand, he said to Jing Yan: "Take my mother to the wing." ”
Jing Min nodded, and helped Mrs. Chu down the courtyard, Mrs. Chu glanced back at Chu Shenxia, her mouth opened and she still didn't say anything after all.
King Shun and Chu Shenxia exchanged glances, and King Shun looked at him fixedly and said, "Report to the Criminal Department and tell them to come over immediately." ”
Lu Zhi, who was beside him, hurriedly answered "yes", turned around sharply and walked out of the courtyard.
Yuan Qing seemed to be very scared, and clinged to Yongming, Yongming patted her head lightly, signaling her not to be afraid, Chu Shenxia walked over and said, "Why don't I send the princess back first." ”
Yongming nodded, and Chu Shenxia turned back to Banrong and said, "Banrong will go back with you, right?" ”
Banrong also nodded, Chu Shenxia's gaze drifted to Ruoyu's face who was speechless, and before she could speak, she said coldly: "I'll stay." ”
King Shun looked at her in surprise, and she explained, "I stayed behind to protect Your Highness." ”
King Shun quickly swept Yongming and Banrong's faces before he said to Ruoyu: "Why do I need your protection? It's your business to send the princess home safely. ”
"General Chu will send it." Ruoyu returned his mouth.
King Shun saw that she was so persistent, unlike her who was delicate on weekdays, but she actually played a petty character, so he said patiently: "The murder happened in his house, and when someone from the criminal department came, he must be present, how can he let him send the princess back to the house?" ”
Ruoyu bumped into him and slowly looked away, and slowly spit out a few words, "I want to stay." ”
"You..." King Shun didn't expect her to still insist, and he was suddenly choked so that he couldn't say a word.
Seeing that the two of them were so deadlocked, Pei Shudong hurriedly said: "I'll send it, I can't send it, I'll send it personally, Your Highness can rest assured." ”
King Shun took his eyes off Ruoyu's face and said nonchalantly: "Then I'll trouble you." ”
Chu Shenxia took two steps forward, leaned over and glanced outside, then turned around and said, "I'll go and see if there's anything unusual in the house." ”
"I'll go with you." Shun the king's way.
Chu Shenxia looked at Ruoyu and smiled faintly, "Your Highness should stay here, the people from the Criminal Department will arrive soon." ”
King Shun didn't listen to his words, and turned his head to Ruoyu and said, "You stay here and look at the corpse." ”
Ruoyu didn't say anything or respond, just stared at King Shun, who was taken aback by her, and rushed to Chu Shenxia's side after retracting his gaze.
The tree next to the stone steps was not high, and the leaves were also freshly drawn, Chu Shenxia looked at it for a while and said, "Spring is coming." ”
"It's long overdue, this winter is too long." King Shun didn't pay attention to the trees around him, and just walked forward vigorously.
Chu Shenxia suddenly paused, walked a few steps along with the king, saw that the people around him did not speak, turned his head to look and found that he had stopped, his eyebrows jumped sharply, and seeing that he was motionless, he hurriedly turned around and walked to him and said in surprise: "What's wrong?" ”
"Your Highness seems to have something on your mind?" Chu Shenxia asked coldly.
"Nope." King Shun was surprised.
"Then His Highness is in such a hurry, and he hasn't even seen such a big corpse at his feet?"
King Shun hurriedly looked down, but only saw four feet, where was there a corpse, raised his eyes and said, "Where is there a corpse?" ”
Chu Shenxia pointed to the exposed half of his body behind the low tree, and looked at it with his gesture, and sure enough, a corpse was lying flat behind the tree, his legs were very conspicuous, he was slightly stunned, and he retracted his gaze and fell on Chu Shenxia's face, only to see that there was no expression on his face, only a faint flash of worry between his eyebrows, this worry was not like his previous worries, but some sadness was mixed in it, which was surprising.
Chu Shenxia took in King Shun's observation of his expression, and when he saw that he was about to speak, he grabbed the words: "That person should be a family member in my house." ”
As he spoke, he walked there, and the faint sadness between his words also made King Shun look clean, and couldn't help asking, "Do you have something to hide from me?" ”
Chu Shenxia's back stiffened, and his sad and sad expression suddenly bloomed on his face, like a surging river, the momentum was fierce and could not be contained, and Shun Dynasty took two steps by himself, but he walked in front of him in an instant.
Chu Shenxia raised his eyes and smiled, and said a little helplessly: "What can I hide from Your Highness?" I'm just a little worried about my mother, Your Highness doesn't know, my mother is suspicious, and after this incident, I'm afraid she won't be able to sleep well for many nights. ”
He had nothing to doubt about his filial piety, King Shun nodded, and walked to the corpse first.
Sure enough, it was a family member, Chu Shenxia leaned over to take a look, twisted his eyebrows and said, "It's Qi Lishi." ”
"Tianyu died in your mansion, and his body was maliciously thrown into the banquet, which shows that this person hates you very much, and Qi Lishi may have been killed when he bumped into it." King Shun guessed.
Chu Shenxia squatted down to observe the wound on his neck, and said lightly: "It's also a knife to seal the throat." ”
King Shun paced beside the tree, puzzled, "Who is it?" Why don't we put you to death and use this method? If they really hate you, why don't they just send someone to kill you? Why bother to make such a big detour, and frighten the crowd when you set up the table and make you lose face? Have you offended anyone on the rivers and lakes? ”
Chu Shenxia was silent, paused for a long time, and suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but say: "Could it be related to the incident at noon?" ”
"What's the matter?"
"My mother encountered some accidents on the way back, Jing Yan said it was an accident, but I don't look like an accident, but someone deliberately did it." Chu Shenxia got up slowly, looked away from the corpse, and followed the trunk all the way down to the treetops.
The moonlight is bleak, if the corpse is carefully hidden, no one will find it, Qi Lishi was abandoned in such a conspicuous place, and Tianyu's body was thrown in front of everyone, such an arrogant method, isn't it a vent of personal anger?
Thinking of this, Chu Shenxia suddenly brightened, at first he had always thought that these things were caused by the waste prince's anger, but it was not so thoughtful,
If the abolished prince really took revenge on him, how could he use this method? To vent his personal anger, he can't do this kind of pediatric trick to make Chu Shen uneasy day and night, he has never left people a way out, and as soon as he makes a move, it is a naked dead end.
Chu Shenxia's eyes narrowed slightly, it was him, it wouldn't be wrong, except for him, no one else would give him a disgrace.
