Chapter 574: The History of Liangqiu (2)
After nightfall, he bought another skewer and tricked Zima out of his house through him. First, he stabbed the villain who ruined his good future into a hornet's nest with a short knife, and then escaped from Xinzheng overnight through the sewage outlet. The next day, the Judicial Department conducted a nationwide arrest of the first judge, and Gongsun Hei deliberately added a sentence to the wanted warrant: "The suspect is wearing an abstract work of art." ”
After many hardships, he finally fled to Linzi, the depraved capital of the East. He had good luck at first, and soon squeezed into Gongsun Yu's house. But the good times didn't last long, and he was kicked out again because of character problems - this time not because his character was not good enough, but because he was not bad enough; He hadn't fought anyone worse than him.
At that time, the entertainment industry in Linzi was very developed, and in order to make a living, he played a role in the theater, living a depraved life of performing during the day and selling his body at night. It wasn't until the appearance of a person one day that the fate of his life was changed.
That night, the big teapot brought another guest. The man was enormous, with a fleshy face, a hideous face, a rude demeanor, and a slave collar around his neck; He almost fainted.
When the big man entered the house, he glared at him with a vicious gaze, and the first man immediately collapsed to the ground; The big man made another vigilant round of the room, and then went out without a sound. After a while, the curtain of the door was lifted, and a gust of fragrant wind hit, and an elegant and noble young woman walked in. The first is to have seen the world, and knows all kinds of luxuries: the lady's powder is very light, but it is definitely the highest; Although the clothes are elegant, the fabrics are superb.
The first one did not dare to slack off, and served her carefully and cautiously. The lady was very satisfied, and when she was leaving, she gave him valuable goods and said to him, "Do not entertain any more people, or they will all die!" ”
It was believed that she would do what she said: he knew that the noble lady was anything but ordinary; I also met her personal bodyguard. He keenly sensed that good days were coming, so he changed his past depravity and restrained his lewd behavior. He still performs during the day, but lives a normal life at night. The noblewoman came once every three or five days, and her stay was not very long, and each time she was escorted by the slave bodyguard (whom the noblewoman called "bear"). After going back and forth, the first person and the bodyguard also got acquainted, and with a little trickery, he took out the identity of the noble lady from the bear's mouth - her name was "Huan", and she turned out to be a not very favored concubine of Qi Jinggong!
He was frightened crazy, and he dreamed that night that Qi Jinggong had turned into a huge praying mantis, wearing an emerald hat and wielding a huge machete to cut himself into several pieces. When he woke up, he had to decide where to go, whether to flee overnight or seek his own life. He finally made up his mind: "it, give it a fight!" If I lose, it's a big deal to die, I'd rather die than run away! Then he began to wait patiently for the right moment. Soon came the great good news: Gongsun Yu had died. In this way, the biggest obstacle to his development in the Qi country disappeared.
It was decided to immediately use Huan's status to establish a relationship with Qi Jinggong. One night, when both Xian and Huan were already slightly drunk, he suddenly asked Huan what his plans were for the future. Huan's heart was full of misery, and he couldn't help crying; He kissed a woman, comforted her, encouraged her, and said that he would stay with her for the rest of his life, but he cried even more in his arms.
Seeing that the time had come, he said: "If I can enter the palace to see the Marquis of Qi and obtain his favor, we will not have to live a sneaky and frightened life, and we will be able to achieve long-term scarcity." If you can't, I'll run away, because you know: not only is the prince and the princess snubbed, but the Duchess Ling has also come to see my performance! ”
Huan, who is indulged in love, has lost all her logical and rational thinking ability, and her only trust, sustenance and hope are focused on the well-dressed beast in front of her, and she immediately said that everything is based on her wishes.
A few days later, Qi Jinggong was fortunate to be happy. Huan teased him when Qi Jinggong's warmth for her had not disappeared: "My gentleman, the concubine heard that there is a reverse string in the market, with a beautiful appearance, a slender body, and a proficient in music and dance. The concubines and sisters also went to see it twice, thinking that the man was a pure liar, 'he' was clearly a woman, where in the world could there be such a handsome man? Is the prince willing to expose the man's tricks? Announcing his scam to the countrymen? ”
Qi Jinggong was immediately attracted to this theme. A few days later, Qi Jinggong changed into civilian clothes and came to the theater with a few entourages to watch excerpts. According to the last appearance, his appearance is Mrs. Peach Blossom in "Brother-in-law Drama Aunt". So his amazing appearance immediately won the applause of the audience, among which Qi Jinggong applauded the most. But Qi Jinggong finally did not lose his shame and snatched the first sign on the spot, but waited until the end of the performance and pulled him into the palace without letting him remove his makeup.
After Qi Jinggong returned to the palace, he tossed all night, and all the people in the palace didn't sleep well that night; When Huan was plugging his ears and tossing, he also had a faint sense of foreboding in his heart.
The next day, he was appointed as a Shaoling official (assistant musician), but the job always had to be seen in public, and he always met some acquaintances, who he had met either during the day or at night. Later, Qi Jinggong also felt a little embarrassed, so he changed his order to be in charge of the manufacturing of the official bell chime qinse, and gave him Liangqiu; He changed his name to Liangqiu.
Liang Qiu has always been favored by Qi Jinggong; The villains who were good at vassal and powerful (although some of them were already very high) saw that Liang Qiu had an unlimited future, and they also began to flatter him. During this period, Liang Qiu, eager to clear his old colorful black history, gave them tasks according to the expertise of the sycophants, and some of them immediately began to play the role of scavengers. The pimps who were introduced to the business for Liangqiu were first cleared, and the low-status customers also disappeared frequently, then the higher ones, and soon it was Huan's turn.
After Liang Qiu entered the palace, Huan, who was once full of joy, found that things did not develop in the direction she hoped: Liang Qiu was not only with Qi Jinggong every day, but also with those and some villains; Huan couldn't see Liang Qiu during the day, and he also sent people to his new house to look for him at night, but they were all closed. Soon after, there were several disappearances and homicides in the city, and Huan learned through well-informed sources outside the palace that the background of the cases was more or less related to Liang Qiu's evidence.
When reason gradually returns and gains the upper hand, when the cruel and bloody reality is in front of her, Huan finally recognizes the status quo: that man's sweet words are all used to deceive people, they are all made up to get close to power, and she is just a tool in his eyes. But she still wanted to do something to save the situation, and Huan sent someone to release cruel words to him: "If you can't fulfill your promise, I will die to expose your crimes!" ”
Liang Qiu was so frightened that he was forced to change his attitude towards Huan, start a tryst with her from the beginning, make her happy, and give her expensive gifts. He comforts her on the surface, but secretly he is plotting to get rid of her.
