Chapter Fifty-Eight: Tea Talk Around the Fireplace

Inside the room of Yunlai Inn.

Youwei, Yu Yao and Wen Cang sat and drank tea.

The water vapor rises, and the fragrance of tea overflows.

Wen Cang suddenly spoke: "You say, is what the shopkeeper of this gold shop said true or false?" ”

Youwei said: "He is emotional, and he swears at every turn, and it really doesn't look like it's fake." ”

Yu Yao took a sip of tea and said slowly: "I've been thinking, the key to this case is whether Gongsun has appeared after many years?" The only person who claims to have seen Gongsun Changman is Xu Er. Xu Er said that on that day, there was a person dressed as a Confucian who behaved intimately with Aunt Gongsun, and Aunt Gongsun even admitted to him that Confucian was her husband. We now know that the shattering degree of the bones of the dead person's whole body is not like it was caused by a sharp blade slash, but more like a martial arts master's shock injury with extremely pure internal force. Aunt Gongsun and the Spring Banquet don't know martial arts, so it is very likely that this person was not killed by Aunt Gongsun. Then let's push it back, and the person Xu Er saw in the back alley with Aunt Gongsun would not be Gongsun Changman. ”

Youwei suddenly put down the teacup and said, "Is it so?" ”

Yu Yao looked at her and said with a smile: "You finally thought of it." ”

Wen Cang said: "Who are you talking about?" ”

Youwei smiled: "You haven't thought of it yet? ”

Wen Cang shook his head.

Youwei and Yu Yao looked at each other and smiled.

Youwei smiled and said to Wen Cang: "Brother Wen, it's not that I want to mention your sadness, it's just that if I were Sister Wen Dai, I would never worry about leaving you alone in the world." ”

Wen Cang was puzzled and said: "The left and right is whether Xu Er is lying, if he lies, there is no shadow, if he doesn't lie, it means that Gongsun Changman is back, what other reason is there?" ”

Youwei said: "That day, the alley was dark, Xu Er himself didn't see it clearly, and the person dressed as a Confucian scholar may not be Gongsun Changman, maybe someone else." ”

Yu Yao said: "Other people who have a good impression of Aunt Gongsun. ”

Wen Cang suddenly realized and said, "Yuan Zhiwang? ”

Yu Yao said: "Yuan Zhiwang was born in a scholarly family, a civil official and a clear stream, and his brothers have all obtained fame and become officials in the court, but he has repeatedly fallen first, so he can only accompany his father who returned to his hometown to return to Xiangzhou for retirement. Because the people in the back alley were dressed as Confucian scholars that night, Xu Er insisted that Gongsun Changman was the first talent, but Yuan Zhiwang was also dressed as a Confucian student, and he was also a talented talent! ”

Wen Cang said: "When we went to Yuan's Mansion that day, how did he leave it all gone?" ”

Yu Yao said: "That's because we have taken in the inherent impression from the beginning, thinking that a famous son like Yuan Zhiwang will not have any thoughts about remarrying a woman, but there are no wonders in the world, what if they have affection?" ”

Youwei smiled: "Yes! Yes! Yuan Zhiwang has affection for Gongsun Auntie, and Gongsun Auntie also has affection for Yuan Zhiwang, but this affection is not tolerated by the world. On the one hand, although Yuan Ge Lao returned to his hometown, he still has a high prestige in the court, and several sons and sons-in-law are also officials in the court. So he didn't allow Yuan Zhiwang to go out easily, because he was afraid that he would have a private meeting with Aunt Gongsun. He said that he was sick, maybe it was true, but he was angry with Yuan Zhiwang and Aunt Gongsun! Because of Yuan Ge's instructions, the Yuan family kept the matter of Gongsun Auntie's imprisonment secret, and Yuan Zhiwang didn't know that Gongsun Auntie had an accident. ”

Wen Cang said: "Looking at the way you speak, it is indeed somewhat similar to my sister Dai'er." ”

Yu Yao said to Wen Cang: "Brother Wen, don't interrupt, let her continue." ”

Youwei suddenly said to Yu Yao: "Do you think there is such a possibility?" Aunt Gongsun's imprisonment was manipulated by Yuan Ge Lao behind the scenes? ”

Yu Yao said: "I have also thought about this, but it is unlikely. It's true that someone was killed, and the matter of these six toes can't be made up. ”

Youwei nodded and continued, "There's another side. Although it is not wrong to say that Gongsun Changman and Gongsun Auntie were in love when they were originally married, but since Gongsun Changman disappeared suddenly and did not return for many years, something must have happened to him. It is common for Aunt Gongsun to have affection for others, maybe she has already regarded Yuan Zhiwang as her husband in her heart, so when Xu Er broke her and Yuan Zhiwang together, she would tell Xu Er that person was her husband. ”

Yu Yao stroked his palms and laughed, and said, "Well said! I'm really relieved, one day you will be alone in the rivers and lakes, and you will be able to deal with some things on your own. ”

Youwei said: "Where can I do it, I have to worry about the protection of the two brothers, you guys, don't even think about running." ”

Wen Cang said: "But who is the person who died?" ”

Yu Yao said: "It's too late to find out so clearly." Now the top priority is to rescue Aunt Gongsun. If Yuan Zhiwang can testify that he was the one who was with Gongsun Changman that night, not Gongsun Changman as Xu Er thought, then it can be proved that Gongsun Changman did not come back, so Gongsun Auntie naturally did not kill him. As for who the person who died now is, let Xing Zhutou and them continue to investigate. ”

Youwei said: "Okay! Then you go to Yuan's Mansion immediately, and ask Yuan Zhiwang to remember the friendship in the past, and come forward to save Aunt Gongsun. ”

Yu Yao said: "Don't worry, I just went this morning, and I'll go again now, don't alarm the recuperating Yuan Ge Lao." If he struggled to get up and obstruct his old man's illness, he would not be able to accomplish anything. ”

Wen Cang said: "Even if Yuan Zhiwang can't show up to testify for Gongsun Auntie in person, if there is a signed document, it must be counted." ”

Youwei said: "No matter what, I have to try my best for Aunt Gongsun." ”

Yu Yao said: "Yuan Ge is highly respected, it's not easy to mess with, we have to plan well." ”

Tea.

bay leaves, young shoots.

Mu Shike, love monks.

Grinding white jade, weaving red yarn.

Cho fried astragalus, bowl turned koji dust flowers.

After the night, he was invited to accompany the bright moon, and he was ordered to the morning glow before the morning.

Wash away the tirelessness of ancient and modern people, and you will know how to boast after being drunk.

When the pot of tea was drunk, Youwei, Yu Yao and Wen Cang went back to their rooms to rest.

In the middle of the night, the hairpin of the young hairpin faded, her hair scattered, and she sat at the table.

Holding a rosewood gilt box, Ha'er walked over and said, "Princess, this is what the master of the horse asked the slave to retrieve." ”

Youwei said: "Put it down, you also go back to rest and rest." ”

Xi'er and Ha'er then agreed and withdrew.

When Youwei opened the box, she was still shining and shining.

Youwei picked up the set of gold combs of "Chang'e Running to the Moon", and meditated in her heart: "If you want to be separated from your beloved, even if you are young and fragrant, what is the point?" ”
