Daily life in Kaifeng dormitory

The person who can play the piano the most in this town is naturally Lu Yan, Shi Daxia's apprentice.People who have lived in the town for a long time know and have seen Lu Yan before.Lu Yanyan is gentle, speaks with reason and restraint, and plays the piano well. Any girl in the town will definitely fall in love with Lu Yan.

However, Lu Yan later left the town and didn't see anyone for a long time. He just came back a few days ago. Although he was a little downcast, his appearance remained the same, and he played the piano every night.Some people think that his playing of the piano is annoying, but some people think that his playing is really nice.

In addition, Shi Daxia's only daughter, Shi Meixin, can also play the piano. It is said that Lu Yan taught her, but after Lu Yan was gone, Shi Meixin seldom played the piano.

Another thing is that the daughter of the county magistrate in the town can play the piano, but the girl got married when she turned [-]. She got married a year ago and rarely came back.

The waiter in the shop said: "There is another person who plays the piano really well. He is a poor scholar, but he likes to sneak around all day long. He doesn't study hard and doesn't get a good reputation, so he works as a storyteller in the town. But our Small town, how can there be so many arty people listening to books?"

It is true, there are not many people in the small town, the business of inns and restaurants is sporadic, and I have not seen any storyteller telling stories, and there is no one to cheer.

The waiter in the store said "Hi Yo" and said, "Say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here! Guest officer, look, that's the man."

Ni Yexin and Murong Changqing looked back, and saw that the door of the tavern was pushed open, a gust of cold wind came in, and a young man shivering from the cold stepped into the tavern.

The man was only in his twenties, quite young, but his clothes were a bit informal, and he would not change or wash them when they were dirty. If he wasn't polite, he might not be a scholar at all, but a beggar instead.

The storyteller came in, but the shop waiter had already passed by. Instead of welcoming the guests, he pushed the storyteller and said, "Why are you here again? Our shopkeeper said that he called you once, and you owe us everything." How many times have you paid for the wine? How dare you enter the door? Get out, get out!"

The storyteller was thin and thin, and was pushed and shoved by the shop waiter, and almost fell a big fart.

"What are you pushing? What are you pushing?" The storyteller was amazing, he was still a little slurred and his body was shaking, it seemed that he had drunk too much wine.

The storyteller was not pushed down by the shop waiter, but his left foot was mixed with his right foot, and he almost fell down. Fortunately, he jumped to the side and sat on an empty chair.

The storyteller slapped the table hard twice, then took out a large ingot of silver from his pocket, slapped it fiercely on the table, and said, "You are a lowly dog! Open your dog's eyes and look at this What is it? I have silver, is this enough to pay for your meal? Take it! Give me some good wine and meat! I, I haven't had enough!"

The waiter in the shop was a little dazed, so he quickly grabbed the silver, held it up and down in his hand, touched it, and found that it was real.

The waiter in the shop looked suspiciously at the storyteller, and then stopped chasing them away. After all, the visitor was a customer, and turned around to serve wine and meat.

Ni Yexin took a look, and immediately said: "This person has a problem, hero, go, follow me."

Ni Yexin immediately stood up and went to the storyteller's table.

The waiter in the shop said that the storyteller was a poor scholar, but now he took out a piece of silver very boldly. The waiter in the shop also looked suspicious, it seems that the money came really strangely.

Murong Changqing quickly stood up, followed Ni Yexin, and stood in front of the storyteller.

Ni Yexin said: "Wake up? Wake up. Let me ask you, can you play the piano?"

The storyteller was drunk, and when he heard someone talking to him, he reacted for a long time, and then he laughed and said, "Why not? I can play the piano very well."

Ni Yexin asked him again, "Then let me ask you again, where did you get your money?"

The storyteller was taken aback for a moment, and then his alcoholism subsided a lot. He stared at Ni Yexin and said, "You don't care where I got the money! I didn't steal or grab it."

Ni Yexin said: "I'm also asking casually, why are you nervous?"

The storyteller looked at him vigilantly, and Ni Yexin said, "Then do you know anyone from the Shi family?"

"I've never heard of people from the Shi family." The storyteller said immediately.

Murong Changqing was standing beside him, and he could tell that the storyteller was guilty, obviously he didn't want to talk to them.The Shi family is a big family in the town, and no one knows about it. The storyteller is obviously lying.

Because the storyteller didn't cooperate, the few people in the tavern all looked at them, as if they didn't quite understand what happened.

Ni Yexin simply gave Murong Changqing a wink, and Murong Changqing met immediately, grabbed the storyteller by the collar, and then everyone in the tavern felt dazzled, and the three disappeared in an instant.

The storyteller was frightened to death. One moment he was still in the tavern, sitting on a chair, and the next moment he was in the snow and was thrown to the ground.

The storyteller was terrified, and took a mouthful of snowflakes with his mouth, and said, "You! Who are you? Bandits or robbers?! Help."

"What are you shouting for?" Ni Yexin said, "We are neither bandits nor robbers."

The storyteller listened and took a closer look, and found that Ni Yexin and Murong Changqing were both good-looking, and they were not big-bodied like bandits, nor did they look vicious.

It's just that the storyteller just felt relieved when Ni Yexin continued.

Ni Yexin said: "But we are more terrifying than bandits and robbers. If I ask you a question now, if you don't answer me satisfactorily, I will immediately chop off your fingers. After chopping off your fingers, chop off your ears, and then cut off your nose."

The storyteller's eyes widened in fright. He wanted to run away, but before he could get up from the snow, Murong Changqing kicked him back.

The storyteller shouted: "We have no grievances, why are you making things difficult for me?"

Ni Yexin said: "I have said that I want to ask you something, you will be fine if you answer well."

"You you you... you ask..." the storyteller said tremblingly.

All of a sudden, the storyteller woke up from the drunkenness, and he was no longer sleepy.

Ni Yexin said: "Aren't you a poor scholar? Why did you suddenly become rich? Where did your money come from?"

The storyteller looked like he was about to cry, and said, "Hero, I really didn't get this money by stealth, it was earned in a serious way."

Ni Yexin smiled and said, "Have you bought lottery tickets? You can earn so much at once."

"Huh?" The storyteller looked confused.

Ni Yexin is a fourth-rank official, and he can't earn much for a month's salary. The large ingot of silver that the storyteller slapped on the table just now made Ni Yexin think of the lavish Hero Murong.

Ni Yexin asked again: "You said you can play the piano, so let me ask you, what were you doing the last few nights?"

"I'm... sleeping." The storyteller stammered.

Ni Yexin said: "I can't tell the truth at first glance, can your eyes roll faster? Hero, cut off one of his fingers!"

Murong Changqing rolled his eyes, thinking that it would be fine for Ni Yexin to act and direct on his own, but in fact he doesn't need himself at all.

Murong Chang didn't move, the storyteller was scared to death, and hurriedly said: "Hero, please spare me! I, I... I can't tell."

Ni Yexin said: "A few days ago, did you take money from others and play the piano all night?"

As soon as Ni Ye finished speaking, the storyteller was dumbfounded and said, "How do you know?"

Ni Yexin said again: "Is the person who gave you the money from the Shi family?"

The storyteller was dumbfounded again, and reluctantly nodded his head slightly.

Murong Chang frowned affectionately, and said, "You mean, the person who pretended to be Lu Yan playing the piano is this person?"

Ni Yexin said: "It seems that this is indeed the case."

Although Lu Yan did play the piano in the middle of the night for a few days to pass the news, but later Lu Yan was injured, so he left, and the sound of the piano should naturally disappear, but the sound of the piano is still there, indicating that someone is playing the piano in Lu Yan's place.

Ni Yexin came out of Shi's house to the small town, in fact, he wanted to inquire about the sound of the piano, but he did not expect to find out so easily.

The storyteller said: "Hero, I just took some favors from others and just played the piano every night. I didn't do anything else. I don't know anything."

"You don't know?" Ni Yexin said: "Then do you know that someone in the Shi family died, or the eldest lady of the Shi family?"

The storyteller obviously knew about it, shrunk his neck, was a little scared, but felt really wronged, and said, "I, I heard about it, but I really didn't kill anyone. I don't know what happened."

Ni Yexin said: "You know, tell me everything."

The storyteller was afraid that they would blame him for Shi Meixin's death, so he had to tell them everything he knew.

The storyteller has nothing to do all day long, and sometimes plays a little song or something, and lives like a street mouse every day.

But just a few days ago, he suddenly developed. Someone found him and asked him to play the piano. As long as he played the piano all night every day, he would give him valuable things.

When the storyteller heard about such a good thing, of course he readily agreed.So the storyteller started playing the piano every night, and then he really got something valuable.He took the things to the Changsheng shop to pawn and exchanged them for silver, and in an instant he had more silver than the rich people in the town.

It's just that I didn't play the piano for a few days, and suddenly something went wrong.

The storyteller said: "That... that day, I was so happy, I took the treasure and went to exchange for silver, and then drank a lot of wine. Later, I got a little drunk, and remembered that I was going to play the piano at night, so I hurried home go……"

It was dark when the storyteller returned home, so he started to play the qin, but he was so drowsy that he accidentally broke the strings.

Now it's all right, the strings of the qin are broken, and the storyteller only has such a qin, so he is a little anxious.But even if a string was broken, he could barely play it. What's worse, the storyteller was in a hurry and knocked the qin off the table again.

His violin was left by his family, it was not a good violin, it would be completely broken if dropped.

The storyteller was in a hurry, it was in the middle of the night, and there was no place to get a qin in the town, and the sound of the qin suddenly disappeared in the middle of the night that day.

Ni Yexin looked suddenly enlightened, she didn't expect the sound of the piano to disappear like this, it was just a coincidence.

The storyteller reassured himself that no one would have noticed that the sound of the piano had stopped in the middle of the night, and if he bought a new piano tomorrow, he could still continue playing.

But he didn't expect that the person came to him the next day and said that he didn't need to play the piano anymore.

And the storyteller heard that Shi Meixin, the eldest daughter of the Shi family, died suddenly!Shi Meixin still heard the sound of the zither stopped and ran out of Shi's house to die.

The storyteller was terrified. The Shi family was a respectable family with them. Miss Shi died suddenly, which seemed to have something to do with the sound of her piano. The storyteller was terrified. It's nothing, no one came to the door, so I went out to drink with peace of mind.

But he didn't think about it, he was caught by Ni Yexin and Murong Changqing as soon as he went out.

Ni Yexin said: "What kind of person is the person who gave you something? Is it a man?"

The storyteller quickly shook his head and said, "No, it's a girl, she's not very old, and she's dressed like a maidservant of the Shi family."

"What?" Ni Ye was taken aback.

The storyteller said: "It's absolutely true! I didn't lie. She asked me to play the piano and gave me a jade bracelet on the first day. I didn't know how to do it and thought it was worthless, but when I took it to the Changsheng shop to exchange it, it was not worth it." Less money. Later she gave me a golden comb, but I haven’t spent all the money, so I haven’t pawned it, and it’s still here with me! If you want it, you can take it!”

The storyteller gritted his teeth, looking extremely distressed, took out a golden comb from his pocket, and stuffed it to Ni Yexin.

Ni Yexin saw that the golden comb was really exquisite, and at a glance, he knew that it must belong to Shi Meixin, and the pattern of Shi Meixin's pair of bracelets was also the same.

Ni Yexin frowned, and said, "She took that wooden box. Hero, let's go back to Shi's house."

Murong Changqing immediately caught up with him and said, "Could it be her maid who killed Shi Meixin?"

Ni Yexin said: "Not necessarily, but the person who took the wooden box is probably the maid."

Murong Changqing also felt that the person who killed Shi Meixin was unlikely to be a servant girl.After all, Shi Meixin knows martial arts, but the maid does not know martial arts.Shi Meixin was strangled to death. It's almost impossible for a maid who doesn't know martial arts to strangle Shi Meixin to death.

Ni Yexin and Murong Changqing hurried back to Shi's house, but they didn't want to say anything, if the people in Shi's house knew who took the wooden box, they would definitely kill them.

So Ni Yexin and Murong Changqing went to find that maid directly in the dark.

The maid has a separate room, although it looks simple, but it is clean and tidy.

After the little maid finished her work, she opened the door and entered the room, but as soon as the door was closed, she took a deep breath and almost fell to the ground in fright.

Murong Changqing shot like lightning, and directly touched her acupuncture points, making her unable to speak or move.

It turned out that the servant girl pushed open the door, but the dark man saw a pair of eyes staring at him in the dark, and was frightened immediately.

But this room is not just a pair of eyes, Ni Yexin and Murong Changqing are squatting here, waiting for her to come back.

Ni Yexin held the golden comb she got from the storyteller in her hand, and said, "I'm sorry to bother you so late, but we're here to ask you to recognize if this is one of the things your lady lost."

Although the little maid could not speak or move, her eyes widened and she stared at them in horror.

Ni Yexin said: "You can't talk now, it's okay, I can help you talk."

The little maid once told them that Shi Meixin had a very strange behavior before, and Ni Yexin was very puzzled when she heard it, and didn't understand what Shi Meixin was doing.

Shi Meixin had a series of weird behaviors, which made Ni Ye think hard.

First of all, the little maid said that Shi Meixin sat in front of the dressing table every morning and was sneaky and didn't know what to do.However, Ni Yexin felt that the little girl was not telling the truth on this point, because when the little girl narrated this piece of content, she used a lot of subjectively induced words, saying that Shi Meixin seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit, etc., as if trying to mislead them.Excluding those subjectively induced descriptions, Shi Meixin is actually counting her jewelry box every day.

Secondly, Shi Meixin gave the little maid a hairpin on her head, but others don't know why Shi Meixin gave the little maid a valuable hairpin for no reason.Ni Yexin felt that there were only a few possibilities, one of which was that Shi Meixin asked the little maid for something, so she gave her the hairpin and asked the little maid to do things for her with all her heart.It's just that they don't know what Shi Meixin asked the little maid to do.

Is there anything Shi Meixin can't do?Ni Yexin felt that this was not a problem at all. There was almost nothing Shi Meixin could not do in Shi's house, except for one thing, that was, she could not go out to look for Lu Yan, and even at night, two disciples would watch her in the room.Shi Daxia did not allow Shi Meixin to see Lu Yan.

Ni Yexin said: "Actually, this matter is not complicated. It just happened to be rushed, so we all got together."

Shi Meixin couldn't see Lu Yan, so she asked the little maid to deliver the news for her. In order to let the little maid do things with all her heart, she gave the little maid a golden hairpin.Shi Meixin may not only ask the little maid to bring some of her own jewelry to Lu Yan, she also seems to have heard that Lu Yan had a very poor life, so maybe count her jewelry box every day and ask the little maid to bring some of her own jewelry to Lu Yan, hoping to Relief Lu Yan.

It's a pity that the little girl had a bad idea about those jewelry, she didn't go to Lu Yan at all, probably because she was afraid of being scolded by Daxia Shi, she just told Shi Meixin to see her, and even left all the jewelry quietly.

In this way, Shi Meixin didn't realize that the little maid got a lot of benefits from it.But unfortunately, Lu Yan was injured and fell ill, he was about to leave suddenly, and the little maid became more and more greedy.

In order to get more jewelry, the little maid hired a storyteller to pretend to be Lu Yan playing the piano in the middle of the night.But unfortunately, one day the storyteller went wrong, and the sound of the piano was cut off, and Shi Meixin thought that something happened to Lu Yan, so she insisted on going out to meet Lu Yan...
