Chapter 20 The Story

"The prison is gloomy and terrible. Chongjiu was convicted of death and was sentenced to death by the Hou Qiu. He was very scared. His parents died early and his three brothers died on the battlefield. Now only he was a grandmother who was over 70 years old and two little nieces. If he died, the family would be disbanded."
Gu Xiang worked part-time in the editorial department in college, which is also considered to be part-time work and study. He also wrote online novels for two years. His grades were not very good, but his ability to tell stories was trained.
In the past, she could tell stories to keep her friend's brother and sister firmly on the sofa for a whole day. With this skill, she has a very good reputation among her classmates and friends.
Nowadays, it is ten times more effective than coaxing children like Xiao Guihua.
Little Guihua's face was expressionless at first and her eyes were dull, but as Gu Xiang's story progressed, her big eyes couldn't help but follow her.
There are no comic books or cartoons at this time. Where have the young boys heard such stories?
Secret room, murder, innocent people become murderers and are sent to prison. Could he be relieved of suspicion and escaped successfully? Or could he escape death accidentally? Or unfortunately died as a scapegoat at the age of sixteen?
At this time, Xiao Guihua stared at Gu Xiang, obviously wanting to know the follow-up of the story. Her body naturally relaxed, her expression became more and more agile, and her sorrow and boredom seemed to have dissipated for many days.
Gu Xiang's eyes showed a little smile.
"Jongjiu sat in the gloomy cell, unable to help but hug her head and cry, her face full of tears. She cried and cried, and then she heard a sigh coming from not far behind her. He was shocked, and then she realized that there was still someone lying in the cell."
"This man is completely different from him. His skin is fair and delicate, his hair is black and shiny, his eyes are as bright as stars, he is wearing a scarlet brocade robe, a goldfish bag on his waist, and a jade ring with white mutton fat on his fingers, which is particularly disproportionate to the gloomy and terrifying environment in the prison."
"His name is Zhao Yuchen, he is a clan of the royal family. He is a strange person and is a Shaoqing of Dali Temple. However, he is not a good job. He wanders in the market all day long, occupying the cell of Kaifeng Prefecture's prison to be his own room."
“…”
"'Don't cry, I'm having a headache when I cried." Zhao Yuchen looked at Chongjiu, got up from the ground, yawned, and murmured to himself, 'Well, I lost such an important thing in the palace a few days ago, and the matter must have been handed over to Zhang Ping. The novices named Zhang, who knew that they would send pickpockets and thieves to the prison, must have no other way. Alas, even me is going to be stuffed, which is annoying."
“…”
"Zhao Yuchen glanced at the deceased and said casually: 'The deceased was stabbed in the left chest with a knife in the front, and there was no defensive scar. Obviously, he was killed with one blow. The deceased Li Hong was strong and healthy, and was a middle-aged man. How tall is Chongjiu? Just like this bone, he said he was the murderer, and you have water in your head?'"
"A group of yamen runners bowed their heads and said yes, and they flattered Zhao Xiaogong. Such words as Zhao Xiaogong's wise and powerful and intelligent were thrown into Zhao Yuchen in a swarm. Zhao Yuchen sat in the lobby of the government office with a cold expression and a noble and proud spirit. He said coldly: 'Okay, remove the shackles of the boy and let him go.'"
"The yamen runners came to remove the shackles for Chongjiu, but Chongjiu hesitated and did not dare to leave. He looked at Zhao Yuchen in embarrassment, his lips squirmed for a while, and his face was full of entanglement."
"Zhao Yuchen was a little impatient, 'No need to thank you, I just don't want you to get in the prison to get my eyes...' Before he finished speaking, Chongjiu sighed, 'I am a disciple of Shaolin layman. Although I am not a good player, I can hit ten people like Mr. Li... Woo, woo, am I going to be beheaded?"
"Zhao Yuchen was stunned for a moment, silently raised his hand to cover his face, and sighed: 'I said early in the morning that martial arts is the most unreasonable and annoying!'"
"Puff!"
Little Osmanthus suddenly laughed.
When Gu Xiang was telling stories, his face was serious, but his tone changed at any time. He made the joke of the cold Zhao Yuchen being slapped in the face very interesting, making the audience laugh. Xiao Guihua was a little confused after laughing, and she touched the corner of her lips blankly.
Under the moonlight, the children around Gu Xiang gathered more and more, including the young soldier Xiao Osmanthus on the river, the old dog's younger brother Wang Ermu, and other young teenagers.
Gu Xiang insists on telling stories for half an hour every day.
Zhao Yuchen has outstanding observation and mind, and likes to solve puzzles the most. Although Chongjiu gave him shamelessness when he first met, Chongjiu still passed the public trial and tricked Chongjiu from the crowd watching the fun and framed him as the murderer.
The murderer was the thief in Wuyou Cave. He was very skilled and had a group of thieves under his command. When he taught his subordinates a lesson, Chongjiu accidentally hit him. Chongjiu felt sorry for the children and beat him up. The thief had a grudge at this point, and then he framed Chongjiu as the murderer.
"This thief head A Mao is really hateful, damn it."
"This kid Chongjiu is also naive enough and believes in everything!"
But the thief was not the murderer. He just ran into the scene of Mr. Li's death and had the ability to slip through the door and pick the lock, so he could easily restore the secret room. He was so flirted with evil thoughts that he framed Chongjiu.
After careful investigation by Zhao Yuchen, she finally found out the truth - Mr. Li committed suicide and pretended to kill him!
He pretended to kill him, and was going to frame his cheating wife's mistress, but he stole the evidence he had prepared and a beautiful fan. The case has caused trouble in his life...
In this section of "Kaifeng Detective Notes", the audience has spread from several children to all the soldiers on the river.
If it were those very in-depth words, these soldiers would probably only be in awe and could not be interested. But Gu Xiang's story is in plain language, everyone can understand it, and the whole story is full of twists and turns, with foreshadowing everywhere. Where can the soldiers see such a story? It's so hard to stop listening.
When eating every day, I don’t go away after eating. It’s natural that I have to sit around Gu Xiang after dinner, drink the mung bean soup specially cooked by Gu Xiang or barley tea, and experience a strange adventure with the characters in the story.
Gu Xiang has almost become the most popular person on the river.
But as she thought, her food spots in this river have more than tripled.
But what made her happiest was not the food order, but the fact that she seemed to have done something and done something good.
"What should I do for them!" Gu Xiang said to himself the first moment he saw these children.
Although she didn't even know where the despair and pain deep in the eyes of these young men and these soldiers came from.
