Gu Qi's case-solving manuscript

Miss Qintong's reputation is indeed great, although Jiangzhou City is not close to the capital, but as soon as the news of Yiqin meeting friends spread, many romantic talents from the capital hurried over.

Before nightfall, Zuixianlou was already full of voices, people came and went, and there was an endless stream of young masters and buddies coming in and out.

The sound of the piano came from the building, as if it was warming up for the evening piano meeting.

When Gu Qituo's family rushed over with their mouths, they were almost squeezed into meatloaf. Fortunately, at noon, they rubbed a seat with Aunt Jing in Zuixian Tower, and as soon as they entered, someone led them to the seat.

The location is not a great place, it's a bit remote, but fortunately, it doesn't affect anything, and you can see the dance on the stage.

"This tea is not bad. I have a reward for you, Master." Hui Qi pretended to put down the teacup, and stretched out his hand to beckon Mr. Gui, who was waiting beside him, "Did you serve this tea?"

The tortoise was well dressed in Huiqi, especially the ruby ​​on the little leather hat on his head was even more jeweled, so he knew he had a reward, nodded and smiled and said: "It's the tea served by the little one, the young master is satisfied." ?”

"Satisfied." Hui Qi squinted his eyes and nodded, "This young master has a reward."

As he spoke, he touched from his bosom, took out a few copper plates and put them in the hands of Mr. Gui.

Mr. Turtle's face froze.

"You take this." Xu Yihua put a piece of broken silver into Mr. Gui's hand.

"Thank you son, thank you son!" Mr. Gui happily accepted it.

"Wait, I'm asking you something." Huiqi stopped Gui Gong, "If you answer well, I will reward you."

Gui Gong disapproved in his heart, and he couldn't take the young master's face off, so he could only ask with a smile: "Young master asks questions, the young one must know everything and say everything."

Hui Qi was a little nervous, although she tried her best to pretend she didn't care, but in front of the two old foxes, Gu Qi and Xu Yihua, she was as naked as if she had peeled off her face.

"Let me ask you, does Miss Qintong really have a butterfly birthmark on the back of her neck?"

"Everyone knows this." The Gui Gong replied, "Before, because of the butterfly on the back of his neck, he was changed to Butterfly Fairy, but later, because of his unparalleled piano skills, no one called her that."

Unparalleled piano skills are naturally impossible, most of it is just some people's flattery and momentum, but there must be two brushes to come up with this method of using the piano to make friends.

"Then, where is Qintong from?"

"How do I know this, I have only been here for two years, and Miss Qintong seems to have been here very early. No one mentioned the girls in the building, so I naturally don't know."

"Oh." Huiqi's face suddenly collapsed.

"You seem to be very concerned about this girl Qintong." Gu Qi leaned over, "Is there something inside?"

"Can, can there be any inside story." Huiqi poured a big mouthful of water unnaturally.

"If you don't say anything, go out for alms in the future." Gu Qi threatened.

Huiqi suddenly lost his mind and looked at Xu Yihua pitifully.

Xu Yihua silently turned his head to look at the stage, pretending he didn't see it.

"I, I don't want to say it." Hui Qi looked at Gu Qi pitifully again.

"Miss Qintong has come out." Xu Yihua said softly, turning their attention to the stage.

Following Xu Yihua's words, the hall of Zuixian Tower gradually became quiet, and everyone looked at the stage in unison.

The reason why Miss Qintong attracted everyone's scrambling was because of her outstanding piano skills. Although it was not as unparalleled as the rumors boasted, but with the addition of Miss Qintong's beauty, it was only natural that everyone would be so sought after.

Walking onto the stage was a woman in a long green dress with wide sleeves and a light gauze cover. Three thousand blue silks were rolled up and a double-knife bun was combed. Moved, and was helped up by the maid beside her.

Gu Qi was a little far away, vaguely unable to see the real thing, only felt that this person looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere, he couldn't remember it after concentrating on it, so he had to give up.

"Young masters, masters and adults." Qin Tong slightly bowed his knees in blessing, "Qin Tong is beyond his control today, and wants to make friends with the piano. Thank you for coming to join us. I asked him for piano skills last month."

As soon as these words came out, the room was in an uproar.

The meaning in these words is clear and clear. Today's winner can stay with Miss Qintong for a whole month. Thinking of the flowers before the moon and the moon, the red sleeves add fragrance, and the nephrite is in his arms, how can he not be excited.

"This Zuixianlou is really good at doing business." Xu Yihua laughed.

"The tricks of this brothel are not much different." Gu Qidao, "Aunt Jing was also an oiran before, so she is naturally familiar with these."

"That's true." Xu Yihua nodded in agreement, "I heard that Aunt Jing was also a peerless beauty more than ten years ago. At that time, she caused quite a stir in the capital. At that time, she was one of the two big heads of Huanyi Pavilion. , Later, I redeemed myself and ran here to open Zuixian Tower."

Gu Qi looked at Qin Tong who had taken off his coat and put on a narrow-sleeved long skirt on the stage, and suddenly realized: "I guess this Qin Tong was also cultivated by Aunt Jing."

"nature."

"No wonder." Gu Qi chuckled, "Qin Tong has the shadow of Aunt Jing."

Just like Aunt Jing, Miss Qintong also prefers green, as if green can bring out their invulnerability, her waist is slender, and her calm and peaceful appearance is exactly the same as Aunt Jing.

It seems that Aunt Jing consciously brought up Miss Qintong in this way, but I don't know what it means.

"Aunt Jing is over there." Xu Yihua pointed to the front, and sure enough, Aunt Jing was sitting quietly on the chair, looking up at the stage, concentrating.

At this time, Miss Qintong had changed her clothes, and the wide sleeves became narrow sleeves, which made it easier to play the piano. She sat cross-legged, her slender fingers touched the strings, and slowly played.

Gu Qi shook his head secretly.

I had already guessed that everyone praised this person's piano skills too much, but I didn't expect that the moisture was still so high. The sound of this piano was full of sorrow and exaggeration, too pretentious, and it was not as good as the one played by Qianqian when I was in Qiuxing County. Xiaoqu, more pure and simple.

There were bursts of applause from the crowd, and fingers, folding fans, money bags, and silver ingots were thrown onto the stage from time to time. Miss Qintong sat firmly like the wind, and her hands never stopped.

"Hurry up, lend me some money!" Huiqi stretched out his hand.

"Why do you want money?" Xu Yihua felt inconceivable. In the morning, Gu Qi asked for money, but the other party was a man. It was an excuse to ask for money to go whoring, but Hui Qi was a woman. Could it be that he wanted to go whoring too?

"Reward, are you stupid?" Huiqi looked at Xu Yihua with contempt.

"No money." Xu Yihua said flatly.

Huiqi sighed exaggeratedly, poured himself tea, and had the spirit of drinking tea as wine.

Gu Qi couldn't help laughing, played with the teacup on the table, and suddenly said: "Xu Yihua, don't you know how to play the flute?"

"Puff—cough cough, cough...cough cough..."

Hui Qi spouted out a mouthful of tea, and coughed uncontrollably while clutching his forehead, his little face turned red from coughing.

"What are you coughing for?" Gu Qi said seriously, "I'm talking about serious blowpipe."

"Cough...no...cough cough, just choking...cough cough...you, you continue..." Huiqi coughed while turning away, "I'm still a child, I can't understand anything...cough... ...don't mind me..."

Gu Qi knocked her on the head hard, then turned his head and asked, "I asked you, why didn't you answer me?"

Xu Yihua blushed, really didn't know what to say, so he nodded indiscriminately: "I know a little bit."

"How's the technology?" Gu Qi leaned over.

"No, not very good." Xu Yihua stammered.

Although Gu Qi asked a very serious question, why did Xu Yihua feel uncomfortable for a while.

"Oh." Gu Qi was a little disappointed, "If only you had better skills and won, we can meet Miss Qintong without spending any money."

Xu Yihua was not happy anymore: "Go play the flute yourself."

"I won't." Gu Qi shook his head innocently.

Xu Yihua didn't want to talk about this issue, he thought he was still a very pure person, and he didn't have the slightest chance of winning compared to Gu Qi, an elderly and thick-skinned person.

It just so happened that the atmosphere was lively at this time, a young son came on stage, followed by a book boy, and put the guqin in his arms on the case: "My son is willing to try it."

Qin Tong smiled slightly: "Young master, please."

The young master was wearing a royal blue dark-pattern robe with white piping, and he behaved elegantly. He sat down cross-legged, moved his fingers, and the sound of the piano sounded, which perfectly matched Qin Tong's sound.

"Presumably this person is the winner tonight." Xu Yihua said, "I'll embrace the beauty."

"Poor Wei Cheng." Hui Qi shook his head pretending to be sorry.

"Speaking of Wei Cheng." Gu Qidao, "I didn't see him tonight."

"Maybe he didn't come."

"Impossible, he is so obsessed with Qintong, there is absolutely no reason not to come."

"Could it be that like Zheng Ji, he was..." Hui Qi made a throat-slitting gesture on his neck.

Gu Qi and Xu Yihua looked at each other, feeling that something was wrong.

"go!"

Before Huiqi could react, he was already grabbed by the collar and immediately flew into the air.

It was already dark outside, and lanterns were lit on both sides of the street, reflecting on the river surface, dotted with stars and rippling water.

There are also some women beside the Qingyi River who are setting off lanterns, half squatting by the river, laughing and playing.

Although the weather was a bit cold, it did not affect everyone's interest in the slightest.

"Look, there is someone on the river!"

A woman who was setting off lanterns suddenly yelled loudly.

Everyone looked in the direction of her finger, and there was a dark shadow floating slowly along the river to the side. Judging from the shape, it seemed that it was indeed a person.

"Quick, find a boat!"

"There's a boatman over there!"

"Someone jumped off!"

"People have caught it!"

As soon as Gu Qi and Xu Yihua went out, they saw many people surrounded by the shore not far away, and people shook their heads and sighed outside from time to time.

"What happened?" Hui Qi squeezed inside.

"There was a scholar who drowned."
