Chapter 75: Killing the Oiran with Broken Branches (2)
After the howl, there was silence on and off the stage.
Ling An jumped up and stepped on everyone's heads to the stage.
Gu Buquan pushed the crowd to the stage with all his strength, and his mind was filled with the scene of flower rattles stained with blood on flower clothes. After finally pushing his way onto the stage, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It is not the flower rattle that dies.
However, Hua Rattle was held back by several people from Zhezhilou. Her hair was disheveled and her face was pale, and she was in a state of extreme embarrassment.
Miss Luokui foamed at the mouth and fell at her feet.
More and more people are flocking here.
The people of Qingzhou Prefecture have always been calm about changes. The Yin of Fuzhou Prefecture was assassinated, and a woman was disfigured and killed. None of it was as sensational as the fact that the new oiran killed the previous oiran.
Just a moment ago, it was an oiran arena with singing and dancing, but in the blink of an eye, it turned into an altar with flower rattles.
Gu Buquan was stunned, how could this happen?
She knew Hua Yangling, although he loved money as much as his life, he was not evil-hearted and would not kill anyone.
"Go down, everyone who doesn't care will go down."
The thugs from Zhezhilou and Fumeiyuan were not vegetarians. After a vigorous push, Ling An, Gu Buquan and others were kicked off the stage, and they only waited for a reply from the people sent to report to the official.
As the governor of Qingzhou, Mr. Yi, who always flaunted the reincarnation of Duke Di, had another great opportunity to visit the scene in person and be admired by all the people. The sedan chair ran very fast and rushed to the scene of the crime as soon as possible.
Taking advantage of Master Yi's opportunity to get off the sedan, Gu Buquan, Ling An and him all stepped onto the stage.
"Why is it you again?"
Yi Da was born lean. He was squeezed by Ling An and Gu Buquan and almost hit the pillar of the arena. If it weren't for the fact that he was in front of so many people, he would have been unable to suppress his violent temper.
"Qingzhou Prefecture investigates the case."
Before the newly appointed Chief Qiu could speak, Gu Buquan had already yelled for him and pushed Ling An towards Master Yi.
Mr. Yi either recognized it or not, and at the same time he was worried about the silver medal that he didn't know was true or false, so he had to let them follow the investigation for the time being.
When Mother Yu, the old madam of Zhezhilou, saw Master Yi coming to the scene in person, she came forward and tugged at the corner of his clothes, wiping away her tears, begging Master Yi to redress Miss Luokui's injustice.
"Sir, our family Luokui died miserably. She and Madam are from the same sect. You must..."
"Stop it, don't talk about anything that has nothing to do with the case." Mr. Yi immediately interrupted Mother Yu's words.
Mrs. Yi in the government office was a former oiran who was favored by Mr. Yi and wanted to take her as his concubine. It was the original wife who came to Zhezhilou in person and spent a thousand taels of silver to redeem her. It became a good story for a while.
What's funny is that it didn't take long for the first wife to be sent back to her hometown to serve her parents, and the concubine was called "Madam" by the government officials.
"Idiot, incomplete, save me."
Hua Rattle screamed as if seeing a life-saving straw, and the enthusiasm of the previous gift of a silver coin was gone.
"Well, don't be impatient for a moment." Ling An comforted him.
If he didn't care enough, he went up to see Miss Luokui. He checked his nostrils, but there was no breathing. He pinched his throat, but there was no breath. He listened to her heartbeat three times, but there was no movement.
He stood up and nodded to Ling An, confirming his death.
"Yes." Mr. Yi glanced at Huayingling, then turned to Yu's mother, and coughed hard, which was considered to be an announcement that he had officially begun to solve the case.
"Then what, Mrs. Yu, please tell the truth about the case from beginning to end."
Mother Yu pretended to wipe her face without tears, then pointed at the flowers and rang the bell.
"It was her, she was the one who killed my good daughter Luo Kui. Our Luo Kui has been suffering from heart disease for many years. We are delicate and frail, and we are kind-hearted. We won't complain even if we lose the court lady, but Hua Rao Bell won the advantage.
Give up and beat her to death as soon as she comes up. I beg you to make the decision and pay with blood."
Hua Yaoling only knew how to cry. Apart from saying "It's not me, I don't have it", she couldn't give any other evidence in her favor. However, Yu's mother explained it clearly and insisted that it was Hua Yaling who was crying.
Dead sunflower.
"She is from Fumeiyuan. I beg you to decide whether Fumeiyuan should compensate me for the money. Is it easy for me to raise Luokui as a human being for so many years?"
Gu Buquan finally understood. From Yu's mother's point of view, it didn't matter who the murderer was. What was important was that she was from Fumei Garden. In the final analysis, it was all about money.
Mother Liu from Fumeiyuan was busy clarifying her relationship with Hua Yaling. Today she saw Hua Yaling for the first time. There was no contract between the two.
"As we all know, Hua Yao Ling is free and has nothing to do with me, Fumeiyuan. Now that she has killed someone, it is up to your lord to judge whether she should be chopped down or killed, but I, Fumeiyuan, cannot be ordered to pay compensation."
"Sir, you have to hold the bowl of water level. You can't take sides just because of your relationship with your wife. We all have eyes."
Mother Liu was not a light-hearted person, so she picked out the most taboo points of Mr. Yi and said that in front of everyone, even if Mr. Yi smashed the bowl, the two families would be equally divided.
In other words, Hua Rattle can go all out and ask for money, but there is none!
"I slapped her ear, but..." Hua Yangling defended herself.
"If you admit that you hit someone, won't that be the end of it?"
Master Yi frowned at Hua Rattle, "Mother Yu also said that Miss Luokui has a heart disease and cannot bear such a beating. Miss, you have used your brute strength in the wrong place."
For Mr. Yi, this case was easy to resolve. He just made an appearance and gained a good official reputation, so he had good words to say to Hua Yangling.
The flowers ring the bell and want to cry but have no tears.
He couldn't help but scratch his head. Hua Yangling himself admitted that the beating was true. Whether intentional or not, he could not escape the result of beating someone to death.
This is really a wave of ups and downs. Chen Chuzhi’s matter has not been settled yet, and Hua Yao Ling has added new chaos. I thought that the sea and the sky would be brighter when I walked out of Maple Leaf Town, but I didn’t expect that there would be pitfalls everywhere.
With the capital in sight, is it possible that success will be stranded in Qingzhou Prefecture?
After all, Hua Yaoling was the one she brought out. Even if she couldn't go to the capital, she still had to be sent back to Maple Leaf Town in a good manner, right?
The case of "Oiran killing Oiran" has come to an end, but this year's Oiran cannot fail. After Hua Rattle was escorted off the stage, people began to rearrange the arena.
It's time to choose a new oiran.
Zhezhilou and Fumeiyuan will send their respective girls to fight again. In their eyes, the matter of the death just now has ended.
Miss Luokui's body was moved away. Mother Yu did not allow the body to be transported back to Zhezhilou, but she could not bury it either. She had to keep a sum of money from Tiaofu Meiyuan.
So they built a shed in a corner and asked a little scar-faced maid who did rough work to guard the dead body in the shed.
Gu Buquan and Ling An stood outside the crowd with mixed feelings.
Things are so unpredictable. In less than half a day, Hua Yaoling has been reduced from a well-liked courtesan to a murderer. He is about to be taken to the government prison and will be executed just after the verdict.
Maybe they were more or less acquaintances after living in the government office for a few days. Mr. Yi was very gracious and didn't let Hua Raobell wear the shackles, but he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when he saw her in embarrassment as she was being held back and kneeling.
"I really didn't kill anyone, why don't you believe me?" Hua Yangling muttered to herself feebly.
"I believe it." Gu Buquan and Ling An responded.
I found that they all said the same thing again, and changed it to: "We believe it."
Little did they know that the most unseen thing about Hua Rattle Bell was that the two of them had a clear understanding of each other. Their heads that had been lowered suddenly raised, and they stared at each other without paying attention, and their teeth chattered loudly.
"You didn't take care of everything, are you satisfied now? The fool is completely yours. But let me tell you, he is not a prince, he is just a fool, hahaha... Don't waste your efforts in vain, hahaha..."
Gu Buquan was stunned, who thought Idiot was some kind of prince?
Hua Yaoling stopped laughing and then burst into tears. She said aggrievedly: "I just slapped her ear, just once, and she died like that. God is treating me unfairly."
Captain Qiu gave the flower rattle a hard push.
"Killing should be punished with life. You think it's unfair, and Miss Luokui still thinks it's unfair. She's living a good life, and it's her prime years. Why should she be slapped to death by you?"
Gu Buquan suddenly woke up. Beating someone to death was credible, but beating someone to death with just a scratch on the ear seemed impossible.
"Flower bells don't have that much strength." Idiot had already guessed what she was thinking.
The two people hurried back to check Miss Luokui's body again and confirmed that there were no injuries on her head, which meant that she was not hit by any other external force when she was knocked to the ground by the flower rattle.
The foam remaining at the corner of Miss Luokui's mouth seemed more like poisoning.
I got closer and smelled it, and there was a slight smell of garlic.
"It's arsenic." Gu Buquan exclaimed, "It was poisoning, not beating to death."
"The murderer is someone else." Ling An said flatly.
When Gu Buquan excitedly rushed out of the shed to explain to Mr. Yi, he heard a "boom" and the little girl fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, and twitching all over like a dying fish.
"Again, another person died?" Mr. Yi's scalp felt numb.
