Chapter 69: 069 Killing with a borrowed knife [asking for monthly votes]

Views:

The personal maids were all beaten to death...

The Shen family was exterminated...

The people who knew the eldest lady of the Shen family the best in the world have become dead people who cannot speak. Although the dowry such as the dancers also serve in the room, they definitely don't know much. This matter reveals a conspiracy atmosphere no matter how you look at it. The Shen family... is not simple.

Shen Tang murmured: "Is the Shen family really moderate?"

She found that she almost didn't recognize the "golden mean" that Tian Zhong talked about.

What doctrine of the mean would be so mysterious

Mr. Gu said, "It's impossible that Madam Shen had a crush on someone and chose to run away from the marriage, and that Shen killed the maids who served her personally to cover up the scandal. Madam Shen couldn't be found, and there was no one to replace her, so she asked Shen Lang to marry her instead? However, the difference between men and women is too big. Gong Yunchi is young but not blind... Whether they go by water or by land, they can't get away with it on the wedding night."

Shen Tang: “…”

She tried hard to suppress the twitching corners of her mouth.

In a bad tone, he said, "The eldest lady of the Shen family is about my age, about eleven or twelve, and she is an unmarried woman who lives in seclusion. How could she meet a man from another family and elope with him for love? Don't read this kind of clichéd and shabby book written by a scholar."

Mr. Gu realized that he had spoken out of turn.

No matter what the truth is, whether the eldest lady of the Shen family is dead or alive, such speculation concerning the reputation of female family members should not be made casually.

Morally and logically, he was wrong.

Mr. Gu changed his mind, his serious expression faded, and he looked more playful and inquiring: "Mr. Shen is fond of antiques and collectibles. Perhaps he saw this strange coffin somewhere, and bought it out of curiosity. He ordered someone to open it and found you lying inside? You have been lying there for who knows how many years, but your face is still as vivid as a living person. What's even more surprising is that you are still alive, and you look like Madam Shen, so Mr. Shen secretly transported the coffin back to the Shen Mansion. Madam Shen happened to need to hide her tracks for some reason, so he asked you to marry in her place?"

Shen Tang listened to the whole thing with an expressionless face.

"It's a pity if you don't go into storytelling with your talent."

The first version is a melodramatic love story - a rich girl eloped for love and wandered around the world, a poor boy worked hard to get what he wanted, and maybe in the future, there will be a scene where a wicked mother-in-law tortured her daughter-in-law, bullied her and her family was wiped out, and she was left alone. The second version is even more awesome, directly adding fantasy and weird elements, a thousand-year-old mummy resurrected to marry a young man from a noble family, I didn't expect this guy to be so heavy.

Mr. Gu: "I also feel it's a pity."

Shen Tang: “…”

Mr. Gu seemed to have let down his guard, and he talked to Shen Tang jokingly: "It's a pity that I don't have a long life. If I had a longer life, I would become a storyteller when the world is more stable. I have been forced to listen to the voices of so many evil spirits over the years. It would be a pity if I didn't speak out."

Shen Tang felt that this guy was daydreaming.

"The world is somewhat stable? Is it the world of the Northern Desert that is being stabilized?"

Mr. Gu avoided the question.

"That's really fucked up."

"Shen Lang is not optimistic?"

Shen Tang said bluntly: "I've heard that Beimo is not a good person."

"Who told you that?" Shen Tang was about to say, "This has nothing to do with you," but Mr. Gu asked, "Did you hear Qi Yuanliang tell you that?"

Shen Tang frowned: "You have done a pretty thorough investigation."

Mr. Gu smiled and said, "Mr. Shen thinks highly of me. After all, we are in Geng Country's territory, so we have to be restrained in our actions to avoid being discovered. The names Qi Shan and Qi Yuanliang are really well-known in some places."

For example, the secret play pictures that are worth a fortune.

For example, the same number of enemies.

What surprised Mr. Gu even more was that this guy was still alive.

The following eight characters are spoken in a rhythmic and sarcastic tone.

Shen Tang simply responded in a calm voice: "Oh."

Mr. Gu: "Why would Shen Lang get involved with him?"

Chu Yao is not a good person - although he is inconvenient in many ways without the literary mind, he is not without brains, and it does not affect his normal planning - the notorious Qi Yuanliang, and Shen Lang, who has a literary mind but a stronger murderous intent than his martial courage.

They are all evil people.

It's hard not to think crookedly.

Shen Tang wanted to roll his eyes, finally understanding Qi Shan’s pain.

She said, "You have so many questions. I don't know you well. What does it have to do with you who I get involved with?"

Mr. Gu said: "The white hair is as fresh as new, and the love is as old as before."

Shen Tang: “…”

I believed your lies.

Mr. Gu didn't care whether Shen Tang believed it or not: "I felt a sense of familiarity with Mr. Shen from the moment I met him. I'm worried about you so I said this. If you don't believe me, Mr. Shen might as well go back and ask Qi Yuanliang about the 'Way of the Scholar'."

"You know?"

Mr. Gu smiled but said nothing.

Shen Tang just felt extremely bored and didn't want to stay here for a moment. He stood up, dusted off the non-existent dust, and prepared to leave.

"How should we deal with this dancer?" Seeing that Shen Tang did not respond, Mr. Gu tutted his tongue twice and pretended to be provocative, "If Shen Lang was not a man but a woman, and had no literary talent, the end... would be worse than death. Can Shen Lang let go of such a grudge?"

Shen Tang glanced at Wu Ling, who was confused and still under the control of the Word Spirit, then looked at Mr. Gu, with the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.

He just left a sentence "I have to pay if I kill her".

After this trip, how much money did you make from selling wine

Most importantly—

If she didn't kill him, Mr. Gu would have done it, and he would have dealt with it cleanly without leaving any evidence. Why should she do it herself and get herself covered in blood

Why are you so sure that you can “kill with a borrowed knife”

Because Shen Tang mentioned Mr. Gu's "Scholar's Way", Wu Ling heard it clearly, and she couldn't survive just because of this.

"He is not a good person if he can hang out with Qi Yuanliang."

Not long after Mr. Gu left Yaoling Pavilion, Wu Ling committed suicide by jumping into a well.

Yuehua Tower.

The waiter was reading a thick stack of letters.

Seeing Mr. Gu coming back, he did not put it away and said without hesitation: "Mr. Gu, have you found anything? Is there any problem with Shen Tang?"

Mr. Gu: "I checked it and there is no problem."

The waiter was secretly surprised: "Is it really a coincidence?"

But since Mr. Gu had said so, he didn't think much about it. It would be best if Shen Tang was not a problem, because it would give Beimo another reason to send troops to Geng Country. When Geng Country was in more chaos and could not take care of itself, it would be the best time to send troops.

"Sir, you have worked hard. Go down and take a rest."

"Yes." Mr. Gu bowed and left.

When he returned to the room, he showed a different face.

A man was playing chess, muttering to himself.

"It's time to go meet Qi Yuanliang..."

At the same time, Shen Tang also returned to the farmhouse.

Chu Yao was still teaching students, and Qi Shan was sitting in the corridor, weaving bamboo strips with his head down, with a pile of rags and needles and thread beside him.

She thought back to what had happened to her recently and felt tired.

She sat down and groaned heavily, trying to attract everyone's attention, but only Chu Yao paid attention to her. Qi Shan was still weaving bamboo strips, which could be seen to be an exquisitely shaped bamboo frame.

"Wu Lang, why are you sighing?"

"I was bullied outside."

Qi Shan chuckled, amused: "You were bullied?"

One sword cuts the throat, without a single stain of blood on the clothes.

Mr. Shen is doing good deeds every day by not bullying others.

Shen Tang slapped his thigh and wailed, accusing Qi Shan, "I was bullied by your old lover."

Qishan: “???”

Shen Tang added faintly: "A man named Gu."

Qi Shan said without even looking up: "I know at least 800 people with the surname Gu. Which one are you talking about?"

Shen Tang: "So you really have an old lover named Gu?"

Qishan: “…”
