Huaixiu left and turned back, "Ah Cheng."

Ah Cheng came to her and said, "Miss Li..."

Huaixiu looked around, but there was no one else there, and Boss Lu was also missing. "Who gave the anchovy fish last night?"

Ah Cheng said, "It's a gift from the little one."

Huaixiu asked, "When did you send it?"

Ah Cheng replied, "Xu Shi."

Yesterday Xiaoren called her to eat at the time of Xu, so he asked again, "When will the dishes be collected?"

Ah Cheng said, "In the early morning, after the guests have finished their meals, they will put the empty plates outside the cabin. In order not to disturb the guests, Boss Lu asked us to close the dishes the next morning."

"Did you see the girl from Xiaolou in their house when you were delivering the fish?"

Ah Cheng shook his head.

"Is there any soup left at closing?"

Ah Cheng said, "They haven't finished eating yet."

Huaixiu thought a little after hearing this.

Seeing that Huaixiu stopped talking, Acheng said, "Miss Li, do you have anything else to ask? I have to go to work."

Huaixiu came back to his senses and said, "No more."

Huaixiu left the kitchen, unaware that her actions were also under the surveillance of others.

"She really went back." Zhu Yu held a cup of tea and drank it slowly.

Xiao Feng said, "She is suspicious of the Crown Prince, so she asked her subordinates to catch her and question her."

"No need." Zhu Yu smiled, "She said that everyone on this ship is worthy of suspicion."

Huaixiu returned to her room. After running around for a day, she was not tired. Instead, she was a little excited. She felt that she had grasped the key to the matter. Where did the oil-stained patchouli on the sleeves of the small building come from? The house she left in the morning was in the kitchen.

Suo, there were only four plates of giant crucian carp. Xiaoren ate the fish cleanly and even drank the soup. Then the small building could only have been stained with oil if he had been to the second floor. Zhu Yu lived on the second floor.

, Liang Min and several merchants.

But they all said they had never seen the Xiaolou girl. Some of them were lying. Why did Xiaolou go to the second floor? It is not difficult to explain. It is normal for a prince, a court official, and several businessmen to invite actors to sing in operas, but they did not

The theater troupe was alarmed. Could it be that they heard Xiaolou practicing and had a sudden sexual desire?

Is it the prince and Master Liang? Or a few businessmen?

Huaixiu's heart was beating fast and she couldn't help but hold Qingfengjian tightly in her arms.

It was getting dark. Huaixiu went to see Xiaoren and Uncle Zhang, and then came to the stairwell. She wanted to go to the second floor to check. Finally, she endured it and returned to the cabin, tossing and turning. Until midnight, she seemed to hear another sound in her ears.

She was stunned for a moment by the sound of drama, and was sure it was not an illusion. She jumped up and ran to the deck, where many people were already there.

"Who was singing just now?"

"have no idea."

"It's like last night's drama."

"What show?"

"Resurrection."

"Isn't the girl from Xiaolou dead?"

A gust of wind blew, and someone screamed, "What is that?"

There is a person hanging on the sail.

Everyone immediately retreated, Zhu Yu and Liang Min went downstairs together, and looked at each other with Huaixiu. Zhu Yu immediately ordered Xiaofeng to save people.

The man was dead, a male corpse.

"Why did another one die?"

Huaixiu quickly checked and couldn't help but gasped.

"What's wrong?"

Huaixiu said, "The cause of death was the same as that of the Xiaolou girl. She was strangled to death by a hard object and then hung from the sail. The time of death was less than an hour."

Everyone exclaimed again.

"Call everyone to the deck and search everyone's room." Zhu Yuji issued an order to his four guards.

Certified by Boss Lu, he is boatman Zhang San, Ah Cheng’s father.

Xiaoren and Uncle Zhang also came out and came to Huaixiu, "What happened?" When they saw the corpse, their eyes were as wide as Tongling.

Ah Cheng hurried over and collapsed next to Zhang San's body. He was in a daze, neither crying nor fussing, as if he was scared to death.

"Did any of you hear any noise before?" Huaixiu asked loudly.

Everyone shook their heads.

"It's her, she's here." Mingyu suddenly lost control of her emotions.

"Who?" Huaixiu asked.

Unexpectedly, Mingyu shouted to everyone around him, "Xiangjun, is it you? Are you back? Where are you? Xiangjun..."

Faced with Mingyu's hoarse and lung-breaking shouts, everyone was baffled. Some people said, "Is he crazy?"

Several troupe disciples stepped forward to support Mingyu, and Mingyu grabbed their hands, "It's really her. You all heard it just now, right? It's her singing, her voice, she's come back to life..."

She is alive..."

It made everyone panic.

"Is there a ghost?" Xiaoren asked, but Huaixiu glared at him.

"Langlang Qiankun, what ghost is here?" The scholars didn't believe it, and a surge of blood surged into their hearts. "Who is the murderer? If you have the guts, come forward."

There were only those who retreated and no one stepped forward.

"Who is Xiangjun?"

"You can't ride on this boat anymore."

"Boss Lu, your boat is not clean."

"Unlucky, unlucky." The merchant also looked helpless.

Everyone was chattering and restless.

"Everyone, please be patient." At this time, Zhu Yu said loudly, "My prince never believes in ghosts." This was the first time that Zhu Yu officially acknowledged his identity as the prince. "Master Ming just loves his beloved disciple."

, a little dazed, but the situation on the ship is indeed urgent now. We don’t know who the murderer is. In order to ensure everyone’s safety, everyone stays on the deck. I have asked my subordinates to follow Boss Lu to search everyone’s rooms. Human lives are at stake.

I hope everyone will forgive me. After the inspection is completed, please return to the cabin. If you have companions, please stay with them and do not be alone. If you find anything, report it immediately."

Zhu Yu's words calmed everyone's restless hearts. Boss Lu moved stools for everyone to sit on, but everyone was wary and kept a distance from anyone they didn't recognize, as if everyone was the murderer. The atmosphere at the scene was solemn, Zhang San's body was

After moving into the cargo room, Zhu Yu and Liang Min sat down without talking. Huaixiu sat with Xiaoren and Uncle Zhang. Xiaoren whispered in Huaixiu's ear, "My father has long said that this ship is not clean.

"

Huaixiu said, "It's a shame that you're still on duty at the Yamen."

Xiaoren suppressed his words.

The night was long, the stars were shining brightly in the sky, and the smell of death enveloped the entire ship.

Everyone is wary of each other and guessing who the murderer is.

Fortunately, someone was struggling with what Mingyu just said, "Who is Xiangjun?" It broke the depressing dullness.

"Master Zhang, please tell me."

At this time, class leader Zhang sighed, "Miss Xiangjun's surname is Li. She was originally the daughter of an official family. She was sold to the theater when she was a child because of some trouble at home. Eighteen years ago, she was the most famous Qingyi girl in Yangzhou. She was

Master Mingyu's apprentice, the two of them acted together in the Dexi class, and their song "The Return of the Soul" became famous all over the country. Even the princes in the capital were invited to the stage. However, it was later rumored that she had an affair with someone, became pregnant with a child, and was kicked out.

After I left the Dexi class, I jumped into the river."

Everyone shouted lowly.

"Master Ming..." someone asked.

Class leader Zhang said, "Master Ming is her master. He was implicated by her and ridiculed by others. He was even said to be the one who had an affair with Li Xiangjun. He could not stay in Dexi class and had to wander around."

"What about the children?" someone asked.

Leader Zhang shook his head, "Who knows, let's die together."

"Who is the adulterer?" Xiaoren said this suddenly, which attracted everyone's attention, and they all said that his words were really rude.

Leader Zhang said, "I don't know."

Everyone was disappointed. Romantic affairs like this were a topic of interest to people everywhere, but the story had only the beginning and the end, and felt very boring.

Huaixiu ignored these affairs and only focused her eyes on Zhu Yu and Liang Min. Unexpectedly, Zhu Yu discovered them and met her eyes. Huaixiu looked away calmly.
