Chapter 23: Female Scripts
After asking the housekeeper to get two bottles of medicine, Yu Qingfeng hurriedly returned to the guest room, pushed the door and asked, "How is it?" What is abnormal about Shen Moli and Zhang Hanzhong in prison? ”
The room was unexpectedly lively, Pei Wuyi, Lin Ming and Lian Shurong were all there, sitting around the table, and the table was full of delicious food.
It's lunchtime.
Lin Ming pointed to the empty space reserved next to Pei Wuyi, "Miss Yu, talk while eating." ”
Yu Qingfeng was indeed hungry, so she sat down unceremoniously and ate at the same table with the three adults.
Anyway, all the way to Qianying County, the four of them are like this, and the difference between respect and inferiority has long been a floating cloud between them.
"How? Can I still use chopsticks? Pei Wuxian pointed at Yu Qingfeng's right hand with his eyes.
"If you can't use it, you can still feed it......" Yu Qingfeng blurted out without saying a word while grabbing chopsticks and picking up a piece of meat.
Pei Wuxian coughed, knocked the chopsticks in his hand on the table, and asked Yu Qingfeng to swallow the last word of this sentence along with the meat slices.
"Well, it's really spoiled, there is no distinction between respect and inferiority, and there is no one around." Lian Shurong quipped.
"Zhang Hanzhong refused to admit that he hated Liang Lei because of the rejection of his courtship," Pei Wuyi changed the subject and answered Yu Qingfeng's question, "Testifying for Yang Zhi is because Yang Zhi is threatening his mother's safety." On the night of the crime, his mother was able to testify on his behalf, and he stayed at home all night and never left the house. ”
"If my mother testifies, it is better to say that the sky can learn from it." Yu Qingfeng mocked.
"Zhang Hanzhong admitted that he had been secretly taking care of Liang Xiaohua, but it was by no means out of guilt for framing Liang Lei, but out of guilt for being coerced into perjury for Yang Zhi, and pity for Liang Xiaohua." Pei Wuxian continued to retell.
"It's better to say than to sing." Regardless of whether what Zhang Hanzhong said is true or not, this is indeed good. Yu Qingfeng rolled her eyes to express her inclination.
"As for why he lost his job and treated his boss abnormally, Zhang Hanzhong said that it was because he had endured it for a long time, but it just happened that he couldn't bear it not long ago."
"Since you want to take care of Liang Xiaohua, it is equivalent to having one more mouth to eat, at this time, you should work harder to keep your job, and you can still bear to take the initiative to break your job?" Yu Qingfeng was speechless, "This Zhang Hanzhong doesn't find a more reasonable reason, stupid." ”
Lian Shurong nodded first and then shook his head.
"But these two people are really honest in prison, our people are disguised as officials, pretending to be lazy and drinking on the side, but in fact they are closely watched. The two men were close to each other, but there was no eye contact, no language, and no physical communication at all. It's really like we don't know each other. ”
Now that it has been concluded that Zhang Hanzhong is stupid and Shen Moli doesn't look like a smart person, it can be inferred that these two people have not reached the point of perfect acting skills, and the two of them have no abnormalities, so it can be inferred that they really don't know each other.
Yu Qingfeng turned to Pei Wuyi, "What about Yang Siwan?" What are the results of the guards' surveillance? ”
Pei Wuxian shook his head slightly, "There is no movement." You met Yang Siwan in the morning, how did she behave? ”
"I'm eighty percent sure that Yang Siwan is definitely related to the door killing case." Yu Qingfeng looked at the delicious food on the table, and suddenly thought of a routine, "Since Yang Siwan is indifferent, then let's help her." ”
"How can I help?" Lin Ming was curious.
"Find someone to pretend to be a government official to go to Zhang Hanzhong's house and beat his old mother: the son was arrested and sent to the county government, this matter can be big or small, and if you do it, you can turn a big thing into a small thing, and a small thing into nothing. Let's see how much money this old mother can come up with. ”
"That's right, Miss Yu is a good plan, this move kills two birds with one stone, not only to find out whether Zhang Hanzhong has ill-gotten gains, but also to urge the conspirators to take action."
Yu Qingfeng winked at Pei Wuyi proudly.
"Clever." Pei Wuxian didn't seem to be convinced, but he still got up in person, opened the door and ordered the guards guarding the door to go to Zhang Hanzhong's house.
"By the way, Lord Lin," Yu Qingfeng seemed to be having dinner with colleagues and friends, not seeing anything outside, talking while eating, and even lost her honorific title, "Didn't you go out to explore the legend of the fox fairy, what did you gain?" ”
"The legend of the fox fairy began a year ago, and it was originally from a script."
"Script? Who wrote the script? Yu Qingfeng immediately caught the point.
"Miss Yu really hit the nail on the head, the key to this lies in the author of the script......" Lin Ming unconsciously turned on the touting mode.
Pei Wuyi interrupted Lin Ming's praise again and asked, "Who wrote it?" ”
"Nobody knows." Lin Ming glanced at Pei Wufeng, and knew in his heart why Pei Wuyi was so fond of interrupting himself, but he didn't want to hear him praise Yu Qingfeng.
"So where did that come from?" Lian Shurong asked.
"No one can say the specific source, but at first someone read the book and introduced it to people who knew each other, and more and more people read it, so they passed it on from mouth to mouth, and passed it on, and some people said that the book was not an apocryphal fabrication, but a true story with traces."
"What the hell is the story?" Yu Qingfeng was curious.
The story tells the story of a fox demon who cultivated in Canglian Mountain and fell in love with a scholar in Qianying County, but the marriage between the two was blocked by the scholar's parents. In the end, in order to fight against his parents, the scholar did not hesitate to die to clarify his ambition. The fox demon returned to Canglian Mountain with the corpse of the scholar, cast a spell to protect the corpse from decay, and shared the bed with the corpse of the scholar every day, telling the lovesickness. ”
"This story should be widely circulated among the women of Qianying County, right?"
Yu Qingfeng smiled bitterly, ancient women were no different, they liked to see the loyal love stories of men. Where there is a market, there is creation, and if a woman loves to read, someone will write.
"That's right, most of the people who were moved to tears by this story and believed that the story was true were women."
Lian Shurong urged Lin Ming: "Say it quickly, what happened later?" ”
Yu Qingfeng covered her mouth and snickered, "Most of the people who are eager to know the subsequent ending of the story are women." ”
Lian Shurong rolled his eyes at Yu Qingfeng, making Yu Qingfeng smile even more.
"Follow-up!" Pei Wuyi urged impatiently.
"There is a woman in the same situation as the fox demon, the man she loves is disgusted by the family and is poor, and opposes marriage, so on the night of the full moon, she and the man went to the mountains to martyrdom, and was rescued by the fox demon. The fox demon was moved by the true feelings of the two, and didn't want them to end up like himself and his lover, so he cast a spell to make their parents agree to the marriage. ”
"Oh, I understand, that's why more people, to be precise, more women will go up to the mountains to make wishes to the fox demon." Lian Shurong was stunned.
Pei Wuyi sneered: "If you can make a wish to be promoted and make a fortune, it will be so effective, presumably the men's team will line up at the foot of the mountain." ”
"That's right, the people who make wishes in the book are all women, and the things that make wishes are also marriage events. And none of their wishes have been disappointed, all of them are lovers who eventually become married. According to legend, as long as you truly love each other, the fox demon will cast a spell to fulfill it. If the fox demon is not fulfilled, then the man and woman are not true love. ”
Yu Qingfeng sighed: "Then isn't this fox demon a touchstone for love?" ”
Lin Ming looked at Yu Qingfeng again, "Miss Yu, that's exactly the case." Later, the people who went to Canglian Mountain to make wishes were no longer limited to women whose marriages were blocked, and more women went to let the fox demon help prove whether the man was sincere to them. ”
Yu Qingfeng shrugged, "It's really attractive, I'm a little moved." For a woman, the most important thing is to verify the sincerity of the person she loves. ”
"Nonsense." Pei Wuyi snorted disdainfully, stretched out his left hand, and rubbed the teacup on the table.
Yu Qingfeng saw the scar on the back of Pei Wuyi's hand again. There is emotion in my heart, instead of believing in the fox fairy to verify the sincerity, it is better to pay more attention to the details in life, and the instinctive reaction in times of crisis.
Lin Ming continued: "In the end, the fox demon became the fox fairy in the mouths of the women. After all, the fox fairy has limited mana and can't endlessly fulfill the wishes of others, so she made a rule, only turning into a human form on the fifteenth day of the first month, living in the fox cave, and the rest of the time, she will cultivate with the true body of a fox, either looking for food all over the mountain, or staying with her lover. ”
