Chapter 114 The sound of the flute

 "Oh, Sister Jing'er~ It's only about a day's journey from Gyeonggi Province, what can happen!"

Maybe he could tell that his sister was not in a good mood, so Xiao Tan pursed her lips and put on a pitiful and naive look.

Sister Jing'er loves her the most. No matter how big a mistake she makes, she can escape punishment by using this trump card. It works every time.

But this time I hit a wall.

"What do you mean it's only one day?" Jing'er warned seriously with a straight face: "A lot of times it's just one day, do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand."

Xiaotan nodded like a fool, blinked her eyes and said, "Don't be angry with me~"

"You, you!" Jing'er stretched out a finger and poked her forehead hard, saying, "First, tell me clearly what happened in the second-floor cabin."

"Hmm~ Last night around 11:00, there was a maniac in the second-floor cabin who killed two people in a row within an hour. The deceased were the passengers in the second-floor cabin and Yanshi on the ship. Fortunately, Wang Dutou had a keen eye and was there.

The murderer was arrested after evidence was found on him, and he is now being held on the ground floor."

"What's the reason for the murder?"

"The reason for killing the wealthy businessman was said to be an argument during the meal. The reason for killing Yanshi was probably because of sexual desire, right?"

"It is said that... forget it, did the two deceased people know each other?"

"I don't know. One is the shopkeeper of the Chamber of Commerce in Shannan Road, and the other is Yanshi who grew up in Baigongmen. They are completely from two different worlds." Xiaotan tilted her head and said, "Sister Jing'er, there is no need to worry about this case.

The evidence is conclusive, the murderer confessed directly, and Wang Dutou also used the talisman of the Soul-Chasing Blue Light Cord, so there will be no trouble."

Even so, Jing'er's doubts became more and more intense.

The motive of impulsively killing someone simply driven by emotions is really unjustifiable.

Of course, people with extreme temperaments like this definitely exist, but most of them are kept in small dark rooms all over the Zhou Dynasty and have long lived a life without worries about food and clothing.

She still knows what a ticket for the second-floor cabin means. People with this kind of wealth are usually past the stage of casually risking their lives with others. To take a step back, even if they are really so petty that they will retaliate, they should not do it.

Do it in full public view.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.

She wanted to meet this monster.

"Let's go to the bottom cell."

Hearing her suggestion, Xiaotan was a little unhappy: "Why don't you go? The cell is still under the cargo hold. It's damp, dirty, and stinky. I just changed into new clothes..."<

/p>

"You! Alas..."

Jing'er sighed silently, after all, she couldn't bear to be too harsh.

Youdao is an eldest sister like a mother. Who made her a senior sister? She should have taken more care of her. Cleaning up the messes of the junior sisters is a common thing, and she has long been used to it.

But after this incident, she finally realized that she was completely unfit to be the princess's personal maid, and she might have to return to the sect to temper herself.

"When the princess is escorted to Bianjing, you can go back to Liubo Zhai by yourself."

Her simple words made Xiaotan's face change drastically: "Sister Jing'er, I don't want to go back."

"This matter is non-negotiable."

"I don't!"

"Chu Qingtan!" Jing'er said word by word: "Don't forget what you promised me before going down the mountain!"

It had been a long time since Xiaotan heard her call her name. Those three words were like a wake-up call, making her tremble all over. Her beautiful eyes suddenly became misty, and she softly begged: "Sister Jing'er, just treat me as a beggar."

You, please don’t drive me back, okay~”

Of course Liubo Zhai is not a purgatory on earth, on the contrary, it is the place where she grew up and is her home.

It’s just that she has no feelings for that family anymore.

There are no beautiful clothes, no delicious snacks, no fun music, dance, and acrobatics. There are just mountains and rivers that are boring to see.

The most unbearable thing for her was that in this age, Liubo Zhai actually had a curfew. The disciples had to strictly abide by the sunrise and sunset. After dark, they only read books and chanted sutras, but also meditated and practiced. It was boring.
In the past, Xiao Tan would not have thought anything wrong, but after experiencing the prosperity of Bianjing, it would be even more uncomfortable than killing her to let her go back to the boring life that could be seen all the way back.

She is only in her twenties, which is the time when she should be enjoying all the good things in the world. How can she spend her years just sitting around as a disciple?

"I, I will go to the cell on the bottom floor now! If Sister Jing'er doesn't feel relieved, she will lock me there for a day and a night. I will never talk back to you in the future, I promise!"

"Do you think I am punishing you?"

Jing'er saw that her junior sister was about to cry, and she felt equally uncomfortable. She said kindly: "If your negligence really causes a big mistake in the future, it won't be as simple as returning to Liubo Zhai. It's not as simple as being in the sect outside."

, how about I pick you up again when you go back to calm down your impetuous thoughts?"

After some hard and soft tactics, Xiaotan also understood that it was a foregone conclusion that she would return to Liubozhai, and nodded in despair.

Jing'er gently stroked her head and said softly: "Okay, I'll go to the cell on the bottom floor to see the murderer first. You can go to the main wheelhouse on the fourth floor for me to find the commander Li Fuyou for some information. I need it."

All the movements of the two deceased people after they boarded the ship."

"Well, I listen to Sister Jing'er."

"See you later."

Watching Jing'er's figure disappear at the end of the aisle, Xiaotan regained a little energy and cheered herself up: "I'll just be patient and endure it, and it will be fine if I get through it!"

This reminded her of her experience as a child when she was imprisoned by her master for not practicing well. At that time, she was almost as broken as she is now. Facts have proved that as long as she endures the long night, light will always come.

The top priority right now was to take care of the things that Sister Jing'er took care of. She still knew her priorities clearly. She immediately turned and walked towards the stairs, climbed down the escalator, and passed through a thin light curtain to reach the fourth floor.

.

Different from the empty fifth floor, the fourth floor is still quite busy. The helmsman, Yanshi and the swordsmen and penmen from various departments are walking back and forth here. Everyone has his head buried, holding thick pages in his hands, focusing on

My own business.

The location of the main wheelhouse was not difficult to find. Xiao Tan found the destination with ease and gently knocked on the door.

"Who!"

The sound coming from the room was obviously a bit panicked, followed immediately by the sound of tables and chairs being moved.

A trace of confusion flashed in Xiaotan's eyes, and he hesitated: "I am the maid of the princess's palace, and I have something to ask Commander Li."

There was a brief silence inside, and then he replied shortly: "Come in... come in!"

She pressed her hand on the door and hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to push the door open and enter.

This is Feizhou's main pilothouse, there won't be any danger... Xiao Tan had this idea in his mind. After entering the room, he saw Li Fuyou sitting in front of the desk neatly dressed, as if he hadn't slept all night, with heavy dark circles under his eyes.<

/p>

Opposite him, there was a red-haired man sitting with his back to the door, but he couldn't tell what he looked like.

The red-haired man did not look back. He heard the movement behind him and smiled: "It seems that Commander Li has a guest coming. Do you need me to avoid it?"

"Don't use it." Li Fuyou quickly waved his hand and looked at the person, groaned: "Are you ... Tan, right?"

"Commander Li is so unreasonable, why are you talking about official matters right away?" The red-haired man interrupted: "I see Miss Tan frowning, but what troubles have happened to her?"

He didn't even look back, how could he tell...

Xiaotan touched her face. Did her face already stink so obviously?

"As the saying goes, the foundation of Taoist music lies in the feelings of people and things. Maybe my flute sound can make Miss Tan feel better?" The red-haired man continued: "Just recently I composed a new song. Meeting is fate.

Miss Tan, please relax and enjoy it."

Hearing what he said, Xiaotan also recognized the identity of this person. He was the musician who performed in the third-floor cabin last night, so he couldn't help but feel a little bit of anticipation.

The red-haired man took out a flute out of thin air and put it to his mouth. The melodious flute sound sounded, soft and sweet, as if a resentful girl was pouring out her thoughts.

At first, Xiaotan simply thought it sounded good, but slowly, she found that the sound of the flute perfectly matched her mood, and she recounted her joys, sorrows, and joys after going down the mountain.

How can there be such moving music in the world...

She unknowingly devoted her whole body and soul to it, her cheeks were slightly red as if she was drunk, and she was obviously very intoxicated.

On the other side, Li Fuyou was terrified, clutching the handle tightly with both hands, and cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

He clearly saw countless black bugs pouring out from the girl's hair, scrambling to get into her orifices!
