Chapter 489: A Woman with a Bitter Fate
Chapter 489: A Woman with a Bitter Fate.
For a whole day, Hwarang didn't go out again, because he didn't need to investigate anyone, all he had to do was think, think about how the secret room was formed, why the murderer wanted to kill, and what his motives were.
This continued until the evening, Hua Lang vaguely felt that he had come up with a clue, he knew how the secret room of the Lu Dao was formed, and he even speculated who the murderer was, but he couldn't believe it, or he didn't understand why the murderer did this, he didn't understand the murderer's motive for killing.
In addition, Hua Lang has no way to catch the murderer, even if he knows who the murderer is.
The night was deep, and the night sky wasn't very good tonight, and it even started to rain in the middle of the night.
But despite the rain, the business of Qingliyuan is still very good, because whether it is a rich person or a scholar, it is a pleasure for them to visit the Qinglou on a rainy night, because they don't have to listen to the sound of the rain in their own homes to sleep, they can listen to the women playing the piano, they can watch the women dance, the sound of the piano dances, with the sound of the rain outside, it is really a rare enjoyment.
There were people coming and going in the Qingli courtyard, many of them were already drunk, they shouted unscrupulously, and their hands began to be dishonest, but the girls here had long been used to it, so they still played the pipa, and danced beautifully, as if they did not find it strange at all the ugliness of these men.
The wind blew on the window lattice, and for some reason, Bai Lan always felt a faint uneasiness in her heart, as if she was going to die tonight.
Her foot injury has healed, she has started to pick up customers, guests like to watch her dance, but she is always absent-minded, she keeps telling herself, it is not true, it is not true, but the face of that person is clearly imprinted in her mind, she can no longer deceive herself, she knows, it is true, he is back.
Bai Lan's dance steps were messed up, chaotic, some guests began to shout, although they couldn't understand the dance steps, but they could feel that the dance on the stage was not beautiful, a dance, Bai Lan left in a hurry, and those men who came here to find joy let out bursts of laughter, their laughter made people sound so disgusting and disgusted, it was Bai Lan, although she had long been used to the laughter of these men, but tonight she felt that these men were all dirty.
She suddenly wanted to cry, she felt that she was also dirty, but she was powerless to change her fate.
She pushed open her door, she wanted to lie on the bed and cry, but when he pushed the door open, she noticed that something was wrong, someone had entered her room, although her room had different men coming in every day, but when she was not in the room, her room was not often occupied, but the moment she pushed the door open, she hurried to someone in the house.
Her heart was uneasy again, she thought of that face again, but at this time, she suddenly smiled, she felt that she was thinking too much, in a place like Seoriwon, she really didn't have to worry too much about her own safety, because her life was not worth much.
She strode into her room, although she kept comforting herself, but she still felt scared, and at this time, suddenly rushed out from behind the curtain, the person saw Bai Lan, did not say much, picked up the dagger and stabbed, Bai Lan was frightened, she suddenly shouted for help, although there were all kinds of voices in Qingliyuan, but Bai Lan's help was unusually loud, and the sisters who lived on the same floor as Bai Lan and their guests rushed in, and when they rushed in, they found that Bai Lan had been injured.
Bai Lan's shoulder was bleeding, and the red blood seemed so striking at this time, and Bai Lan's eyes were fixed on the window in the room, and the window was wide open at this time, and the wind and rain were pouring in.
Early the next morning, the Duanzhou Prefecture Ya ushered in a guest, Long Budi.
Every time Long Budi came to the state government, Bao Zheng felt very embarrassed, because Long Budi was doing that kind of business, and Bao Zheng didn't want to have too much interaction with this kind of person, but he was a governor of the state, and he had to deal with some things.
Long Budi's visit was very common, a group of people waited in the living room to sit down, and Long Budi said straight to the point: "Don't hide it, something happened in Qingli Courtyard last night, I originally wanted to beat the drum in the lobby, but then I thought it was not a big deal, just come and talk to Lord Bao." ”
Hearing Long Budi say this, Bao Zheng suddenly became interested and asked, "What happened in Qingli Courtyard last night, why did Boss Long think of drumming first?" ”
Long Budi hurriedly replied: "That's the case, last night Miss Bailan returned to her room after dancing, and suddenly encountered an attack by a strange man, ...... at this time"
Before Long Budi could finish speaking, Gongsun Ce suddenly preemptively asked, "Miss Bailan was attacked, how is she now?" ”
Long Budi was surprised by Gongsun Ce's reaction, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he quickly replied: "I was stabbed in the shoulder by a thief, and now I can't even hold the chopsticks, and I have asked people to take care of her." ”
After listening to Long Budi's words, Gongsun Ce was still anxious, and said: "How can you send someone to take care of her, you must let someone protect her!" ”
Long Budi nodded again and again, and at this time, Hua Lang asked with some curiosity: "Who did Miss Bailan offend, so she was assassinated?" ”
Long Budi shook his head: "Probably not, Miss Bailan has been resting for the past few days, and only appeared on stage for the first time last night, who would hate her?" ”
Hua Lang frowned slightly, and asked again, "Did Miss Bailan say something, such as the face of the person who assassinated her, and other things?" ”
Long Bu shook his head and said, "Now Miss Bailan refuses to say anything, and she doesn't even want to meet us." ”
Everyone was surprised, and Hua Lang asked again, "How did Miss Bailan get into your Qingli Courtyard?" ”
Long Budi thought for a while and said, "Miss Bailan used to seem to be the maid of a large family, but then the family was defeated, and she had no way out, so she sold herself to our Qingli Courtyard, and it has been several years now." ”
This was the fate of a woman in the Qinglou, and Hua Lang didn't say anything else.
Long Budi saw that Bao Zheng had nothing to ask them, and he had nothing to say, so he got up and said goodbye and left, before he left, Gongsun Ce looked worried, as if he couldn't follow Long Budi to Qingli Courtyard immediately to see if Miss Bailan was really okay.
Everyone understood Gongsun Ce's mood at this time, so they didn't say much else, and now they felt that the strangest thing was who would attack a dusty woman in Qingli Temple?
Hua Lang's brows furrowed slightly, and when he thought of the sudden fall of Bailan on the Shangyuan Festival, the corners of his mouth smiled faintly.
