Chapter 92: Murder, see Murder again
Half of Du Ruoji's people have to take the provincial examination, and drinking is just a formality. Naturally, it is impossible to actually pick up a few girls. However, Yuchen and the other people in the escort agency have relatively regular lifestyles, and they are all new acquaintances.
Naturally, they are also restrained.
The reception banquet held for Chu Tianfang didn't last long. Everyone had a meal and drank some wine, then got up and left.
However, it just so happened that Du Ruoke would be embarrassed if he really stayed the night. He didn't have much money left, and he really couldn't support so many people staying in the brothel.
When we came out, it was already quite late, but the area around the Qinhuai River was still brightly lit and bustling with people coming and going.
Although Du Ruo and others had drunk some wine, only Chu Tianfang, the worst drinker, was a little tipsy. The others were very sober and were still chatting and laughing while walking in this nightless market.
While passing by a hook-and-rail restaurant called Wangjianglou, Du Ruo suddenly heard someone inside singing a line: "If we hadn't met at the top of Qunyu Mountain, we would have met under the moon at Yaotai..."
When he heard this sentence, he paused slightly.
Yu Chen and others also stopped, and Chu Tianfang even opened his mouth to praise: "What a poem, what a poem. It's a pity that it's only half of it. Brother Du, isn't he still interested in it? Why don't we go in and listen to it in detail?
"
Among the seven or eight people in the group, there were five scholars. Except for Black Tou, who had never read a book, the others were all in good spirits. Plus, wandering around at night was boring. When they heard Chu Tianfang's suggestion, they all responded one after another.
Du Ruo smiled slightly, but before he could speak, he heard a melodious voice coming from inside: "My lords, if you are not a little girl, you will not be sure to sing this whole poem. If you are not a little girl, you will not know how to sing the first half of it."
In the same way, it was by chance that the little girl heard the recital of Dushan Jiangdu Gongzi, a talented man from Shuixi in Sichuan..."
Du Ruo couldn't hear any other sounds inside, because at this time, he was already being questioned by several people from Chu Tianfang.
Chu Tianfang said in surprise: "Brother Du, you are so talented in literature. What is the upper half of the palace like? Can you tell me about it?"
Yu Chen pushed Du Ruo directly and said: "Oh, brother Du, it is the hardest to accept the kindness of a beauty. It is outrageous for you to make this girl wait and feel so uncomfortable!"
Several other students from Heshan Academy also followed suit, pushing Du Ruo towards Wangjiang Tower. Some people shouted loudly: "Girl, the Du Shanjiang you are talking about is my brother Du Ruo. If you want to know the first half
Que, we can bring everyone to you!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in Wangjiang Tower looked towards the door, and many of them were scholars from Zhuangyuan Street who participated in the provincial examination. Many people recognized Chu Tianfang and Du Ruo, and immediately
Someone shouted.
"Say Brother Yiji, our Brother Yiji will be here soon!"
"Haha, Brother Chu, it's such a coincidence that you guys are here!"
"Brother Du, isn't it you Du Shanjiang..."
Because of the last fight in Zhuangyuan Street, and the subsequent murder of Wen Feng, which triggered a series of events, including prison murders, thirty-six students wielding swords in Jinling City, etc., Du Ruo's reputation became famous among the students in Zhuangyuan Street!
They were all pushed in and seen. Du Ruo couldn't help but leave like this and returned the favor.
When he came in, he discovered that the person holding the pipa among the group of dancers on the stage was Su Ruyu, and Su Ruyu also happened to look at Du Ruo, slowly stood up and walked down.
Su Ruyu stepped down from the stage, walked to the door, saluted Du Ruo, and said: "Mr. Du, we meet again. Last time we met in a hurry, I didn't have time to ask you about the whole poem. It's really a pity that the little girl is spending these days.
I have been thinking about it all the time, and I couldn’t help but sang it without the permission of the young master. Please forgive me!”
Du Ruo cupped his hands and said: "Miss Su, you are so polite. This poem was born to be sung. It doesn't matter if I tell the first half of it to the girl. However, let me make it clear first that this poem was not written by me, but by the next person."
What I did for Li Bai’s friends is just a piece of wisdom.”
"Ah?" Su Ruyu was shocked and said hurriedly: "That's it."
Du Ruowei smiled and said: "The whole sentence of this poem is 'Clouds think of clothes, flowers think of face, spring breeze blows on the threshold and the dew is thick, if it is not the jade mountains, we will meet under the moon at Yaotai', which is suitable for this Mid-Autumn Festival."
!”
"Thank you, Mr. Du." Su Ruyu held the ceremony.
Du Ruo smiled and said, "I have something important to do, so I'll stay here soon. I'll take my leave!"
After saying that, Du Ruo held his hands in the distance and said loudly: "Brothers, I'll take my leave first. I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"
After that, Du Ruo left out the door regardless of other people's attempts to stay. With the words "too drunk", Yu Chen and others followed him.
Being too drunk was naturally an excuse, mainly because Du Ruo accidentally glanced at the prices of the dishes and drinks in Wangjiang Tower and had to leave.
"Master Du!"
Just as he walked to the door, Su Ruyu suddenly chased him out. Covered by his long sleeves, he stuffed a purse into Du Ruo's hand and said softly: "Master Du, I heard that there was a murder on Zhuangyuan Street recently. I have been worried about you. I hope you will pay more attention."
, this is the peace charm I went to the temple to ask for a few days ago, sir, please don’t dislike it!”
After Su Ruyu finished speaking, without waiting for Du Ruo to refuse, she said loudly: "Thank you Mr. Du for the poem. Please go slowly. I wish Mr. Du will pass the provincial examination!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Ruyu ran away quickly.
Du Ruo looked at Su Ruyu, smiled helplessly, cupped his hands slightly, then turned and left.
…………
In the middle of the night, Du Ruo and others returned to Zhuangyuan Street chatting all the way. Today was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Zhuangyuan Street was also very lively.
However, Du Ruo and Chu Tianfang did not live in the same alley, they were quite far apart, and they soon separated. He and Heitou walked in the other direction together.
When he just walked out of an alley, Du Ruo saw Xue Hongyi coming from the opposite side with a group of policemen from a distance. He originally wanted to say hello, but seeing that Xue Hongyi seemed to be in a hurry, he took it back.
steps.
However, his movement was seen by Xue Hongyi. Xue Hongyi, who was walking in a hurry, suddenly stopped and walked over and said: "Du Ruo, it's so late, why are you still wandering outside, forgetting what I told you during the day.
What did you say?"
"No, no," Du Ruo said, "I'm just here to do something."
"Hmph," Xue Hongyi snorted coldly and said, "Forget it, I won't talk about you anymore, go back quickly. Just now, three more students in this Zhuangyuan Street were murdered."
"What?" Du Ruo exclaimed.
Xue Hongyi said: "There is someone who lives in the inn next to you, named Zhang Chuan..."
Hearing the name Zhang Chuan, Du Ruo suddenly trembled, as if an electric current passed through his mind, and then connected together. Finally, he was no longer as unable to grasp it as before.
