Chapter 40: Warmth in the Heart
The owner of Mingcui Fang smoked wolf, and Shui Yun Gekui fell into the water.
Fortunately, there is a holy hand to make a floating slaughter, and the marriage is handed down from generation to generation.
Li Gongzi muttered for a long time, and finally spoke: "I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes when I say it, in fact, the girl comes out to admire the moon every night, and I follow me from afar, in addition to admiration, it does mean to protect flowers." Today's incident happened suddenly, Yitu delayed saving Murong Ningyan's girl, and it was too late to arrest him, so he pulled him into the water first, so as not to let him escape while he was in chaos, thinking that someone would rescue him anyway. ”
Li Gongzi finished speaking with an embarrassed face, and quietly glanced at Murong Ningyan.
Hearing Li Gongzi's straightforward confession, wouldn't it be obvious? Doesn't it mean that the ancients were very reserved? Murong Ningyan's face, which was originally slightly pale due to falling into the water, was suddenly full of crimson, even the roots of his ears were red, and the white jade neck that set off the smooth and clean was red inside, and he hung his head in shame, only a row of small fans in front of his eyes kept fluttering there.
Another voice in Murong Ningyan's heart said: Murong Ningyan, what are you thinking? Maybe he's using despicable means to trick you into trusting! Is that really the case? It's okay, tomorrow the first trial of Wangcai will be revealed.
No one in the room spoke for a while, it was surprisingly quiet, and only a few young hearts could be heard with a powerful "pop" sound, and Sister Xue coughed lightly to break the deadlock and said, "Ahem. That's what. It's not too early, and you've worked hard today! Sister Xue invited everyone to a reunion in Zuiyunlou on another day. There is Lao Li Gongzi to go back to rest first, and please come to Shui Yunjian early tomorrow to help us testify! There must be something wrong with this, and I will definitely find out the truth and avenge Miss Yan'er. ”
Murong Ningyan saluted: "Thank you Gongzi Li for coming to the rescue today, saving your life, and I will report it again in the future!" ”
"Meeting is fate, why say thank you, you must be there tomorrow and say goodbye!" After Li Gongzi finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.
Seeing off Li Gongzi, Murong Ningyan said that she would sleep with Ning Lu tonight, so Sister Xue took Yuwei out of the door, and found that there was still a large group of people standing outside the door, so she said, "Thank you for your concern!" Miss Yan'er is fine, please rest assured! Let's all go back and rest! ”
The people said, "It's okay if the girl is all right, it's all right!" Then they dispersed.
"Sister Wan'er, your body is so heavy, I really shouldn't let you worry about me!"
"Whatever my sister said, you just need to be safe!"
Murong Ningyan helped Lin Wan'er take off her hairpin and spread her hair and said, "You, Brother Gao, and Sister Lu'er have worked hard today, hurry up and rest!"
"Sister Yan'er, drink this bowl of medicine and rest!" Gao Yidan handed the medicine to Ninglu.
"Thank you, Brother Gao, you can accompany Sister Wan'er to rest!"
"You're being polite to us again! My sisters are resting early, too! ”
There were only Murong Ningyan and Ning Lu left in the room, the sisters sat on the bed and were not in a hurry to sleep, Ning Lu pushed the hair that Murong Ning Yan hung down from her ears behind her ears and said, "Yan'er, is the Li Gongzi who saved you today the same person as Li Gongzi who made trouble that day?" ”
"It's him!"
"But I heard you say that he was quite hateful that day, and when I saw him today, I felt not only annoying, but even quite likable!"
"Sister, don't you fall in love with others! Isn't it? If I don't know, I'll ask someone to help my sister talk about matchmaking! Ha ha! ”
"Besides, his eyes are full of love and pity when he looks at you, and he acts as a messenger to protect flowers every day, but I'm afraid that people already only have smoke in their hearts!"
"Sister bullies others!" Yan'er raised her pink fist to make a hammer shape, and lowered her face full of peach blossoms and said softly.
"Sister, don't say it, I really hated him that time, I didn't look at him once, you know, what I hate the most is the kind of person who flaunts his might just because he has a few stinky money, in fact, he never brought his attendants to Shui Yunjian again, and he doesn't look like that kind of gentleman."
"I think sister, you misunderstood him, where does he look like that kind of playboy."
"Sometimes I wonder if it was just his attendants who did things in the wrong way that day and made a bad impression on me."
"See the truth in times of crisis, today you fell into the water, he didn't say a word, he jumped into the river desperately and rescued you, at least to explain one point, there is no problem with his character."
"Yes, he was really heroic today, but he secretly followed him for so long, and I didn't even find out."
Ning Lu teased: "So today I stared at people carefully for a long time, only to find that it was not only handsome and chic, handsome in appearance, but also delicate and resourceful!" ”
"How can I stare at people?" Murong Ningyan's cheeks suddenly became hot, and he turned his head away embarrassedly.
Murong Ningyan didn't say the idea that he suspected Li Gongzi in his heart and was directing and acting in a scene, after all, this is just speculation, and he will see it tomorrow, don't wronged the good guys.
Ning Lu shouted softly: "Xiao Gongzi, don't you come quickly, Yan'er will be snatched away!" ”
"Bad sister! Look at you still laughing at me! Murong Ningyan tickled on Ning Lu's armpits and waist, and Ning Lu dodged and jumped out of bed, and the two frolicked there for a while before they fell asleep.
Sister Xue, who returned to Shuiyunjian, was angry when she thought that someone wanted to assassinate Murong Ningyan.
And that Wangcai, probably didn't expect Murong Ningyan to be rescued and woke up, so he didn't run away in advance. Instead, he hid in the dark, and heard the door of the pharmacy say that the girl was fine, so he fled in a panic, and as soon as Sister Xue came out, she immediately ordered someone to take care of Wangcai, who was about to escape.
Early the next morning, as soon as Murong Ningyan entered the water and cloud stream, he saw that Sister Xue and Li Gongzi were already sitting upright, and Wangcai was kneeling on the ground with his arms tied behind his back.
Sister Xue asked angrily, "Say, why do you want to harm Miss Murong Ningyan?" ”
"Please Sister Xue and Miss Murong Ningyan spare their lives! The little one just passed by the side of the boat and accidentally knocked Murong Ningyan into the river. ”
Li Gongzi said solemnly: "You still dare to quibble? I saw that you deliberately pushed the girl down the river. ”
"Be bold and prosperous, don't think about denying it anymore, my sister Xue treats you well on weekdays, why do you want to do this unconscionable thing? Who is going to put Murong Ningyan to death? "Sister Xue, who is always smiling when she sees people on weekdays, is not angry and arrogant when she is angry.
"Sister Xue, Miss Yan'er, there are a lot of you adults! The small ones are wrong, and the small ones are recruited from the truth. Wangcai, who was kneeling on the ground, was trembling with fear by Sister Xue's powerful aura.
"The youngest one has a seventy-year-old mother who has been sick in bed for many years, and there are two children who are waiting to be fed. Recently, I have always had bad luck, I owe a lot of debts, my family is poor, I can't open the pot, where do I have the money to pay off the gambling debts, so someone proposed, let me gamble again, but this game is a big bet, if I win, my previous gambling debts are written off, if I lose, I have to take my wife to pay off the debt. ”
"Nine times out of ten, this kind of gambling is made of cages for you to drill." Murong Ningyan knew the ending halfway through listening.
"Yes, it's all strange that the little ones are infected with this vice, there is a happy home, my lady looks very symbolic, and gentle and virtuous. Among those gambling friends, some people have long coveted my wife. I didn't know what the plan was, and the ghost made God promise to gamble again, but I fell into their trap. ”
"It's strange if you don't lose this situation, you're really stupid!" Murong Ningyan was thinking, why is this routine used from ancient times to the present, and there are still people who are fooled?
"They began to force me to repay the debt, saying that they couldn't get the money within three days, so they went to my house to get someone, I didn't dare to tell my family the truth, I was so anxious that I didn't dare to go home, I was afraid to face the kind lady, if the lady is really gone, what will happen to my bedridden mother and two young children? When I was anxious, somehow, the boss of Mingcuifang learned about my situation and gave me fifty taels of silver to pay off my gambling debts. ”
"So, it was Boss Wang of Mingcuifang who bought you?" Sister Xue frowned slightly.
"After I dealt with my gambling debts, she came to me and said that because of the arrival of Miss Murong Ningyan, she and some other singing boats had a depressed business, so they had to close their doors, and she had been in business for decades, and she didn't know what else to do when she closed the door, saying that she helped me in my time of crisis, and now it was time for me to help her. Otherwise, she will find someone to kill my whole family. ”
"All of this was premeditated by her, pulling you into the water step by step, in order to make me disappear from this world." Murong Ningyan felt that her appearance had caused trouble to people, and she actually apologized.
"She knew that Murong Ningyan girl had the habit of taking the bow of the boat every night, and said that as long as she took the opportunity to push the girl into the river, she would do it without realizing it, and others thought that the girl had fallen into the water by herself, and I walked away overnight and no one could find me, and the little one didn't want to lose his family, and he thought of where to find such a large sum of money to pay him back, but he was blinded by lard and did something wrong, and the little one regretted that he shouldn't gamble, please spare the girl's life!"
"So I'm only worth fifty taels of silver? No wonder you want to say that you can't rely on the fence alone... ”
Li Gongzi clenched his fists and said angrily: "You can't kill people if you give no amount of money!" It seems that gambling must be banned. ”
Sister Xue quickly reported to the official, and Boss Wang and Wangcai of Ming Cuifang confessed to the facts.
Boss Wang said bluntly in the yamen: "Originally, on the Qinhuai River, everyone's business was almost the same, since Murong Ningyan came to Shuiyunjian, every day was like a market, and it was from then on that he was able to fall into the door, and the fundamental reason for this situation was that there was a Murong Ningyan in Shuiyunjian, which turned from jealousy to hatred." ”
It was a case involving a well-known person, and the crowd of onlookers at the trial was unprecedented. In the end, Boss Wang and Wangcai were both put on death row, and they were beheaded after being approved by Dali Temple.
People die for money, birds die for food!!
A few days later, a strange thing happened, Chen Gongzi walked on the street, and felt that the person who came over was very familiar, and when he got closer, he took a closer look, isn't this the boss of Mingcuifang Wang, who has been imprisoned on death row?
