The piano girl wore a veil on her face, her figure was soft, and she didn't speak. She started playing the piano silently as soon as she sat down. Jiang Wu had a better impression of Yihongyuan. After all, this was not her first time in a brothel.
Yes, she had been to Pingkangfang before, but unfortunately Pingkangfang was basically cold now.
The piano girl played a piece of music that made Jiang Wu feel sleepy. She held her chin and leaned her elbows on the table. She stuffed rose cakes into her mouth while listening to the music. At this time, she
Suddenly I smelled a smell, a very unique smell.
She sniffed around, then turned to Fu Heng and asked: "Sir, do you smell anything?"
Fu Heng raised his eyebrows slightly, "Fragrance?" If we talk about fragrance, the entire Yihong Courtyard is full of fragrance, and the whole air is filled with the smell of various fragrant powders mixed together.
Jiang Wu said, "No, it wasn't there just now. It seemed like... it was only there when she came in." She pointed to the piano girl who was playing the piano across the bead curtain.
Fu Heng's eyes turned slightly and suddenly said: "Stop."
Qin Nu didn't know why, and stopped blankly. Her hands stopped moving, and the fragrance faded a lot. Jiang Wu stood up, walked to her side, and suddenly asked her: "Do you know Wan Liu?"
willow?"
When Qin Nu raised her head, she felt panic for a moment.
Jiang Wu said: "Don't be nervous. I recognized that you know her because you use the same hair oil. At least you bought it at the same place."
In ancient times, it was a small-scale peasant economy. Things like hair oil, shampoo, and ointment were usually made by someone themselves and sold. Linxian County was not a big place, and it was not like Beijing’s Fragrant Powder Pavilion, which specialized in selling rouge.
Where there is gouache and oily hair, Jiang Wu's nose is very sensitive. In other words, people who work with high intensity and professionalism like her are more sensitive in some aspects. Jiang Wu can smell the fragrance of this person and Wanliu.
The resemblance on Liu's body is very similar, it can almost be said that the resemblance is fake and real.
She even suspected that these were spices made from the same batch.
Qin Nu was stunned for a moment: "How could the girl know her? Could it be because of her husband's case?"
Jiang Wu immediately grabbed Qin Nu's hand: "You seem to understand what happened back then? How much do you know?"
Qin Nu's eyes wandered: "Who are you two?"
Fu Heng stepped forward at this time, "I am the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Fu Heng."
Qinnu was startled immediately, her eyes widened and she said, "It turns out to be Mr. Fu. I don't know, little girl. I hope you won't be surprised."
Next, Qin Nu talked about her relationship with Wan Liuliu in detail - in fact, it had nothing to do with each other. They were from the same hometown, but they were not close friends. Wan Liuliu was a smart woman, and Yang Zhongshi
, in order to maintain the vitality of the Yang family, Wan Liuliu could only make her own hair oil and other things and sell them. Because the things she made were of good quality and cheap, her business was very good.
Qin Nu said: "That Wan Liuliu is the widowed daughter-in-law of the Yang family. Speaking of which, I was there when her husband died."
Jiang Wu's eyes lit up: "Do you still remember what happened that day?"
Qinnu said: "That day, I first saw Wan Liuliu coming to our place alone, and then entered a room. Because I wanted to buy hair oil from her, I waited at the door for a while, and then I heard them in the room.
During the quarrel, Wan Liuliu said something about killing you, etc. I didn't dare to listen anymore, so I hurried downstairs. After a while, I saw the Song family's legitimate daughter and Wan Liuliu rushing in, and they rushed in.
Later, I joined in the fun and heard that Song Qi had come to catch a friend of his, and I was so frightened that Yang Zhong fell to his death."
As Jiang Wu listened, he suddenly realized a blind spot - everyone said that he was caught and raped, so there must be another person present, right? What's the point of catching and raping a person lying on the bed alone?
Fu Heng said: "Are you sure what you said today is true?"
Qin Nu said: "It's true."
Jiang Wu asked: "Then are you willing to go with us to report Wan Liuliu?"
Qin Nu hesitated for a moment, "Okay." Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Fu Heng had already unsheathed his sword, and the cold blade immediately pressed on her neck.
Fu Heng's expression was cold, and his brows looked more like they were dyed with ice and snow, "You are lying."
…
It was already midnight, and Mother Yang couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. She put on her clothes and went to the small courtyard. She saw Wan Liuliu sitting on the small bench in the small courtyard again, holding a book in her hand.
Mother Yang sighed, walked over shakily, and patted her shoulder: "Liu Liu, go to sleep."
Wan Liuliu raised his head, his face full of tears: "Mother, how can I sleep peacefully now that the dawn is right in front of me? My husband suffered too many injustices during his lifetime. If I didn't do this, how could he ever be redressed?
It's just... I feel sorry for Qi'er, who suffered two years of unprovoked disaster because of me."
Mother Yang said calmly: "Liu Liu, you are only eighteen years old. You have a long life ahead of you. Wouldn't it be better for us two people who are half dead to do the things about Yang Zhong? You must do it yourself.
, Jinyiwei's work may not be as good as Dali Temple. We have already lost a son to go in, how can we trouble you again?"
Wan Liuliu said: "When I married him, I had a desperate intention, but now I just lost the bet."
Mother Yang said: "But what about your friend...she doesn't know anything. She just wants justice for herself and you."
Wan Liuliu said: "If the truth can be revealed someday, she will naturally be able to clear away the suspicion. If not, I have already thought of a way out. She is my only friend. I have hurt her once, and I will not do it again."
This is the second time, but you two have worked hard during this time, and you still pretend to be at odds with me. Fortunately, she has a simple personality, otherwise she might have seen the flaw long ago."
Mother Yang smiled and sighed: "If that girl from the Song family is as smart as that little bastard this afternoon, I'm afraid Zhong Er's matter could have turned around that year."
After hearing this, Wan Liuliu had no other expression. She just said lightly: "At the beginning, from the moment that person finished the game, Yang Zhong was already on the road to death, but he walked on this road willingly.
It’s just like me, when I first met him, it was already destined that I would follow the same path as him.”
After finishing speaking, Wan Liuliu stopped talking. She said: "Mother, let me help you go back. Tomorrow... there is still a play to be performed."
…
Jiang Wu and Fu Heng walked out of Yihongyuan. Their opinions on this aspect were surprisingly unified.
"Since Qinnu is deceiving us and using such a clumsy deception, it just proves that Wan Liuliu has evidence in his hand, but he can't show it to us now, and it must be related to the imperial examination case."
