Chapter 85: The Case of the Broken Corpse of the Qinglou (7)

That night, Cui Yingying had just finished attending a banquet held by a squire. The squire was so happy with his son that he had a big feast, so he wanted to invite Cui Yingying to join the scene. Because she was not less taken care of by this squire on weekdays, Cui Yingying readily agreed.

She sat in a small sedan chair, accompanied by her personal maid, and slowly returned to the Zuimeng Building. Although Cui Yingying is famous, she is not unkind, and she will also put on a performance to entertain her old master.

Just as they walked into a small alley, a man suddenly rushed in from the other side of the alley, holding a kitchen knife in his hand, and without saying a word, he just slashed indiscriminately. The sedan chair bearer didn't pay attention, and with the sedan pole in his hand, he was killed by the man's kitchen knife in an instant. And the little maid passed out after a scream.

After a brief slaughter, there was an eerie silence. Cui Yingying looked at the slowly approaching murderous demon in horror, trembling with fright, her tongue was knotted, and she couldn't make a sound. The man stuck out his tongue and licked the bloody blade with a sinister smile.

Cui Yingying finally saw the face of the person who came, it was the Wang Yuanwai who had been obsessed with him for a long time. Wang Yuanwai forced her into a corner, stretched out his hand covered with blood, gently stroked her delicate face, and smirked stupidly. Suddenly, his face suddenly turned grim, and with a "snap", he slapped Cui Yingying's cheek hard, and said coldly: "I told you to pretend to be high!" After a while, Lao Tzu promises that you want to be *immortal* and want to die! ”

Cui Yingying covered his face and closed his eyes in pain, he didn't dare to look at the face distorted by love, and the kitchen knife dripping with blood in his hand.

Wang Yuanwai stuck the kitchen knife behind his waist, and reached out to pick up Cui Yingying, he wanted to imprison him, he wanted her to belong to him forever!

There was a muffled sound of "bang", and just when his hands full of blood and water were about to touch Cui Yingying, his head was hit hard. In an instant, the red blood filled the entire eye, and the world outside the king immediately turned a blood red. He turned around angrily and saw a thin man, trembling and holding a plank, and kept falling backwards.

Cui Yingying also reacted at this time, she stood up suddenly, pushed Wang Yuanwai away, and quickly ran behind the thin man, at that moment, she saw her patron saint.

The thin man's name was Zhang Sheng, a poor scholar nearby, because his family was poor, so he did some chores at night to subsidize the family. He studied at home during the day, and in the evening he went to Fu Lai Shun Restaurant to help, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant saw that he was a scholar, so he arranged for him to work in the back kitchen, so as to avoid acquaintances to see, so as not to let him lose his last self-esteem.

He had just finished today's work and was about to go home, when he heard a scream and walked over to see what was going on. I didn't expect this to happen. At that time, he saw that under the hazy moonlight, a gangster was about to commit murder to a girl, and before he had time to think about it, he picked up a broken wooden board on the side and smashed it hard.

It's just that his strength is too small, and he didn't knock Wang Yuanwai out, but angered him. Wang Yuanwai pulled out the kitchen knife from his waist and walked towards the two viciously, Zhang Sheng was so frightened that his legs and stomachs turned and trembled, he was a scholar, how could he have seen such a scene, glanced at Cui Yingying behind him, Zhang Sheng turned his heart sideways, and shouted loudly: "Go and call someone, I'll stop him!" ”

Cui Yingying woke up like a dream, and hurriedly ran away, and when Wang Yuanwai saw this, he pounced, intending to throw Cui Yingying to the ground. Zhang Sheng suddenly threw away the plank, hugged Wang Yuanwai's waist, and pressed him to the ground. Wang Yuanwai waved the kitchen knife in his hand and slashed at Zhang Sheng on his body.

Pity him, a powerless scholar, was cut into a bloody man in an instant. I don't know that he was slashed several times by the king, and while he was unconscious, he heard a series of noisy shouts and footsteps.

Perhaps, the lives of the two should not be extinguished, Cui Yingying just ran out of the alley, and met the soldiers who were patrolling the night, and they arrived in time to save Zhang Sheng. If it weren't for Wang Yuanwai falling to the ground and not using his strength, Zhang Sheng would have died under his kitchen knife.

Cui Yingying took Zhang Sheng back to Zuimenglou, took care of him undressed, and three days later, Zhang Sheng woke up, and then they fell in love. Love is like a sharp sword, penetrating the hearts of the two of them at the same time, and they suddenly discover that there is a kind of warmth in the world, called *love.

Cui Yingying ignored the persuasion of the old bustard, resolutely took her own savings, walked out of the drunken dream building, and willingly became a poor woman. Perhaps, for them who love each other, suffering is just a manifestation of happiness.

A year later, Zhang Sheng went to Beijing to take the exam, and after taking the exam, the entire decoction valley was boiling. After many years, their remote place finally has a talent. The county magistrate personally took a group of squires to Daohe, and even the sisters in the drunken dream building were jealous, secretly sighing that they were blushing with jealousy, why didn't they meet a man as good as Zhang Sheng. Looking at the appearance of her man's scenery, Cui Yingying was even more convinced that she was not with the wrong person.

But after a while, Cui Yingying found that Zhang Sheng often sighed and had a sad face. After several inquiries, I learned that although Zhang Sheng was admitted to the list, he had no money to take care of the relationship, so no one arranged an official position for him, and he was kept empty.

Cui Yingying smiled when she heard this, she took out all her savings and asked Zhang Sheng to go to Beijing to work hard and seek a good position. Zhang Sheng shirked at first, feeling that he was a big man and it was a shame to use women's money. Later, he couldn't withstand Cui Yingying's repeated persuasion, so he rushed to Yanjing City with two silver taels.

As soon as Zhang Sheng left, Cui Yingying was at home alone with a big belly, taking care of housework, and waiting for her man to come back. However, day after day passed, and Zhang Sheng never returned.

Until a clerk who went into the city to collect goods, he brought a shocking news that Zhang Sheng became the state capital here half a year ago, and the state capital Yamen was in Jidui Town. Moreover, three months ago, he also married the daughter of the county guard.

When everyone heard the news, they all scolded Zhang Sheng for being a brute, only Cui Yingying didn't believe it, she had been defending her man. Finally, she decided to go to Jidusk Town herself, so that all the rumors would be dispelled.

Before leaving, she walked into the Drunken Dream Building, said goodbye to her group of sisters, hired a carriage, held a big belly, wore the iron bracelet, and set off. Gently stroking the only piece of jewelry that Zhang Lang bought for her, Cui Yingying always had a happy smile on her face.

Singing this, the piano sound under Hu Caidie's hand stopped abruptly, and looked at Chu Xiaofeng who was sitting not far away. Chu Xiaofeng stood up and asked lightly, "Since then, you have never seen Cui Yingying again?" ”

Hu Caidie bowed slightly, sighed, and said: "Among the sisters, I have the best relationship with her, and after she left for two months, I once asked someone about her situation. It's just that the man said that Sister Yingying may have died. Many people saw a big-bellied woman kneeling in front of the state capital, crying all night, and then disappeared after a while. ”

"Well, in this way, Zhang Sheng is a negative man?" Chu Xiaofeng asked in a low voice. He hates this kind of treacherous person the most, and he is really innocent!

"Well, hearsay, not to be believed. Maybe now Sister Yingying, live happily. Hu Caidie showed a hint of bitterness and said in a low voice.

"If you had thought before, you might have thought that way. However, since Zhang Sheng came to Zuimenglou again, I'm afraid you believe in the former more, right? Chu Xiaofeng said coldly. She may be the murderer!

"Smack", "Smack"

Hu Caidie was just about to speak, when suddenly there was a knock on the door, Chu Xiaofeng frowned, and asked softly, "What's the matter?" ”

"Lord Hui, Tian Qi is dead!" Outside the door, Xu Liang said respectfully.

"What! Tian Qi is dead! Chu Xiaofeng frowned, he glanced at Hu Caidie, walked to the door in a few steps, opened the door, and followed Xu Liang down the second floor, the case is so weird, who is the murderer?
