Chapter 148: A Story

"That day, the drizzle in God's City, with the sound of firecrackers, the city lord finally ushered in the third lady, but the beautiful scenery was not long, followed by the first tiger in God's City, why such a fierce king of mountain beasts would come to God's City with the arrival of the third lady?"

After that, there was silence all around, waiting for his next explanation, but he took another sip of tea.

The master's speech is indeed long, but the peaks and turns between the words are enough to hang the appetite of those who are curious, and Zhao Yi and Ning Hui are in the ascendant today.

Putting down the cup in his hand, the master continued: "The third lady is from Changning County, and it is said that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, but this third lady is a talented woman with extraordinary talents, full of poetry and books, and often talks about the economy with the city lord, which is deeply favored by the city lord. β€œ

Everyone had forgotten that the master had not explained why the evil tiger had followed the third lady to the city, and only listened quietly to him talk about the sweet past between the city lord and the third lady.

The master paused again, and then suddenly became sad and sad, "However, Mrs. Jing has never been concerned with the affairs of the city since then, and she is addicted to Lingbo dancing every day, just like a drunkard who is addicted to a century-old wine, and cannot extricate herself. β€œ

Zhao Yi sighed lightly, she couldn't help but feel a little sorry for this Mrs. Jing, after marrying her, her husband married two more wives, and now she is grinding with another woman, but she has forgotten?

The master said in a colorful voice: "The people in the house say that she has stayed away from the red dust, away from right and wrong, and just wants to live alone, so the other two ladies who originally went to visit her every day did not go back to the Fanghua Palace, but in this way, the private relationship between the two ladies has become closer and closer. β€œ

Since then, grotesque things have emerged in endlessly, the third lady after learning that the second lady is good at carving, repeatedly went to the second lady, if the second lady is happy, promised to carve her once, she will let her carve some strange beasts in the mountains, even the utensils in the house are all kinds of birds and beasts. β€œ

As the master spoke, Ning Hui couldn't help but pick up the gold bottle in his hand and take a look, it was an ordinary pattern.

The master's deep pupils shrank suddenly, and he said in surprise: "However, these things often disappear inexplicably, becoming a big strange thing in the city, and later the city lord claimed that it was the Hades Mansion that opened the door and connived at the little ghost head to come to the city to steal, but we don't know if this is the case." β€œ

Everyone was in an uproar, Zhao Yi and Ning Hui looked at each other and smiled, it seemed that it was really just a story.

"This second strange thing is Mrs. Jing herself, someone has seen Mrs. Jing talking to herself in the broken temple of Wushan, one stop in the broken temple is a whole day, to say that Wushan is already a ruined temple, the city lord worships the Guiyuan Temple She is not as good, but go to a broken temple, this is strange!"

The master was a little sorry, but not very sorry, but there was a sarcasm in it, and for some reason, someone in the seat finally defended: "Master, what is this strange, the mood is different, the master is not Mrs. Jing, how can I know what she thinks in her heart, how do I know that Mrs. Jing is not waiting for someone?"

The master laughed kindly twice, the laughter was pale, but it was a real smile, looked at the person who spoke, stretched out his wrinkled fingers, stretched out three fingers to the crowd, and said, "Just because she brought three things, one is silk paper, the second is incense, and the third is a red umbrella." β€œ

Before everyone could say anything, the master continued: "But later, some people said that it was not Mrs. Jing, it was just a foreign woman who was very similar to Mrs. Jing. β€œ

Some people will be dissatisfied: "If you don't know what the gentleman asks, won't you tease us?"

The master was still kind and pleasant, his tone slowed down, and said: "I am telling a story, not a cocoon of people's hearts and facts, and we will continue to ......."

Yes, it's a story, and when everyone cast a knife-like gaze, the man shrunk his neck, sat down and continued to listen.

"But this time back home, I heard that something unpleasant happened, Mrs. Jing was infertile for a long time, so she went to worship Guanyin on the way back to the house, and then I don't know what happened, Mrs. Jing still did not have a pregnancy, but Mrs. Huan and Mrs. Yun, one after another came the happy news, but after the bad news, the two ladies drank the same medicinal food with safflower, the same slipped the fetus, so far the city lord still has no children under his knees, the world is condemning, Mrs. Jing is jealous, she has no children in her womb, so that the children of the other two ladies can not be saved, but the facts we do not know, what we see is only part of it。 β€œ

"And in recent years, Mrs. Jing has become insane, she no longer needs anyone's company, she is confined to the Fanghua Palace, and has lost the right to compete with the other two ladies. β€œ

"The third lady is virtuous and virtuous, she is a good internal assistant to the city lord, and the second lady is not inferior, she ignores the affairs of the city, and she can't share the worries of the city lord, but every time she sees the new things she carved, the city lord is always happy, so that the relationship between the two sisters is not so stable later......"

Ning Hui finally asked, "In this way, it cannot be ruled out that the third lady killed the second lady to blame Mrs. Jing, and the city lord knew that Mrs. Jing was wronged, so she chose not to ask." β€œ

The master looked up at Ning Hui, which also attracted everyone's attention, from scrutiny to scorching, neither of them liked such a gaze, but they couldn't avoid it.

The master shook his head slightly, "This statement is reasonable, but it is not necessarily. β€œ

After saying that, he lowered his head, his eyes swept over everyone, and he was stared at by a pair of cloudy but sharp eyes, there were always many people who had seen him for most of his life, and they were still afraid of his gaze, and in an instant silence returned to the seat.

"Okay, that's all for today's story, if you have any curiosity, if you have anything to ask, just ask, but the old man doesn't answer, and the old man can't answer, and he may not have the opportunity to answer......"

As he spoke, the Master put a bronze teacup back on the table, got up, shook his fan, and walked slowly out of the doorway, where there was already a little servant with a coil for him, and all the money was given to the guests of the day.

No one will keep him, and no one will dare to keep him, because he can't keep him.

Feeling the scrutiny of everyone, Ning Hui quickly buried his head in the table and asked quietly, "Sister Zhao, the master has left, shall we drink tea or go back?"

Zhao Yi stroked his forehead and said, "Tea, drink it another day, let's go back!"

"That's fine. β€œ

It's exactly what I want! Ning Hui said happily.

When the two returned to Tianshu House, Ye Tao and Yang Han were about to go out, and they looked at them in a hurry, as if they had encountered something impatient, but when they asked, they realized that the two of them had not come back at nightfall, and they were uneasy, so they wanted to go out to find someone.

The breeze was gentle at night, the moon was clear, and the sparsely populated courtyard was only the shadows of four people in the pavilion, Zhao Yi said with great interest: "Tao, we heard a story today." After thinking about it, Zhao Yi added another sentence, "It's just a story." β€œ

"What kind of story?"

Zhao Yiyan was concise and straightforward: "In order to seize the position of the eldest lady, the third lady killed the second lady and blamed Mrs. Jing. β€œ

"Mrs. Jing?" Yang Han and Ye Tao looked surprised, and Ning Hui explained on the side: "Mrs. Jing is the eldest lady. β€œ

Ye Tao nodded, "We saw a legend here. β€œ

"Legends?"

Zhao Yi and Ning Hui were also interested, and they both cast curious eyes at Ye Tao.

"It's a terrible legend, it's creepy, and it has a special name, the legend of the chifu. β€œ

"The Legend of the Talisman?"

"As soon as the charm appeared, the blood flowed like a river. β€œ

Zhao Yi smiled lightly when he heard this: "It's like a curse to bluff people." β€œ

Ye Tao: "How can you see it?"

"One person and three feet of blood, I never believed that there were such cruel people in this world. β€œ

She had seen and seen corpses all over the field, and the fires in the sky, but she had forgotten it, but Ye Tao said: "The gentleman thinks about trouble and precautions." β€œ

"That's not as good as this, although the gentleman in the Zigui Building has a lot of words, he is indeed very knowledgeable and well-informed, maybe we can ask him a few questions. β€œ

Ye Tao immediately nodded, "Then let's go to Zigui Building again tomorrow." β€œ

The next day, in the early morning, many people gathered on the riverbank, and there was a commotion, and I didn't know what to do.

It wasn't until later that someone shouted a few words in a thick voice, "Dead man, dead man!"

When the four of them came to the river, Zhao Yi and Ning Hui turned pale, how could it be him-Mr. Storyteller!

What he said doesn't necessarily have a chance to answer, is it really that coincidental?

Zhao Yi was sad, he walked quite peacefully, quietly, leaving nothing.

Rumors soon came, the second lady's funeral had not been done, and Lu Shiming was already busy.

At this time, a few more subordinates came over to talk about it, and then they were taken away, and I heard that Ye Tao and Yang Han were here.

Lu Shiming's brows relaxed, see!

is still in the garden, it was calm at that time, but there were three more women, and Zhao Yininghui also had a wife.

Zhao Yi asked tentatively, "City Lord, have you heard any rumors in the market?"

Lu Shiming nodded, and Zhao Yi asked, "Then, can Mrs. Jing have something to say?"

The city lord paused, he didn't know what to say, and stammered for a moment before he opened his mouth and said, "Jingnu...... She, I don't know what the hell she was thinking, she never told me that. β€œ

He must be very anxious, so Yang Han didn't go around in circles, and said straight to the point: "Don't hide it, Mrs. Huan's death, Mrs. Jing is the most suspicious person." β€œ

Lu Shiming trembled unconsciously when he heard this, and shook his head again and again, "Impossible, Shaoxia, although Jingnu usually has little contact with Huan'er, I understand her temperament, she is gentle and virtuous, and she will never have the idea of killing." β€œ

After a pause, he looked at the third lady Yun'er on the side,

The confidence is not enough: "What's more, if Jing Nu wants to do it, she doesn't have to wait until now." β€œ

Mrs. Yun said sadly: "City Lord, although I don't want to doubt my sister, but something like this happened, now the neighbors have different opinions, some accuse my sister of being the most poisonous woman, and I heard that there are also condemns of concubines. β€œ

Lu Shiming was cried and preached by Mrs. Yun, and he actually felt that Mrs. Jing should indeed come out of the Fanghua Palace. "Yes, but Jingnu she, she doesn't want to go out of the Fanghua Palace, what about this city, I can't force her. β€œ

Ning Hui suddenly said: "City Lord Lu, Mrs. Jing is good at dancing, is she obsessed with dancing?"

I don't know what she meant when she asked this, but it also evoked Lu Shiming's memories, "How can a mysterious word be clearly said, she is intoxicated in her own dream, a dream in which she can never stop dancing." β€œ

Ning Hui was overjoyed, "Then let people say, Ning Hui of Liuyun City wants to ask Mrs. Jing to dance on the drum!"
