Hearing that Xie Yixiang suddenly changed the topic and led the question to the murder that happened that night, Zhao Ruoregret was still thinking about what the master knew about what he had done, and his mind couldn't turn a corner for a while, and replied casually: "Of course I haven't seen it." ”

Xie Yixiang asked: "There was no lantern in the 'Dragon Yin Pavilion' that night, someone came out of the house in the dark, just by a hasty glance, Senior Zhao could see clearly that the other party was a general with a red face, red phoenix eyes, and a green parrot robe, and even the five long whiskers under the other party's chin?" Then Zhao Ruo replied regretfully: "People who practice martial arts naturally have better eyesight than ordinary people, so what?" Xie Yixiang forced to ask: "Could it be that all the burly generals in the world with red faces and green clothes must be Guan Yu Guan Yunchang of Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms?"

Zhao Ruo regretted it and said, "At that time, it happened suddenly, and I didn't dare to confirm it. After talking to everyone afterwards, combined with the miracle of Guan Gong in Shudi, it is natural to be sure that this person who came out of King Heng's house that night must be Guan Gong who manifested his spirit. Xie Yixiang let out an "oh" and said lightly: "Since Senior Zhao couldn't confirm that the other party was Guan Gong who appeared at that time, why was he so frightened that he turned around and fled?"

Zhao Ruocheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately came back to his senses, slammed the table, stretched out his hand to point at Xie Yixiang, and said angrily: "You girl, you are really ...... Although I didn't dare to confirm it at the time, when I saw the other party's appearance and the Qinglong Yanyue Knife used, I naturally thought of Guan Gong, and I was frightened. You say I'm cowardly, or I suck, so what?"

In fact, Zhao Ruoregret's answer was reasonable, but in his expression and tone, it was clear that some flaws had been revealed. Xie Yixiang was just going to stun him, how could she give up easily? At that moment, she continued to provoke Zhao Ruoregret, and said with a smile: "Teacher Zhao, the good things you did in Bifu are actually known to Senior Dai Qi, so why do you need to lie? Right now, who are you covering up for with all your nonsense?"

If Zhao Ruoregret had a sword in his hand at this time, he was afraid that he would have already pierced Xie Yixiang's heart with a sword, so he stood up, swept away his previous exhaustion, and shouted angrily: "It's just nonsense! You made it clear to me, what good things did I do in the Bifu? Master, what did the old man know about me? If you can't say it clearly today, you won't want to take a step out of the front hall of this Bifu!"

Xie Yixiang did not back down, and asked in a confrontational voice: "That's a good point! Senior Zhao, in front of me carrying this thing on my back, do you dare to swear in the name of Senior Dai Qi, so that all this you told is really true word for word and without concealment?"

Hearing this, Zhao Ruoregret suddenly stood on the spot, speechless for a while.

It must be known that if Xie Yixiang forced Zhao Ruo to repent and swear as soon as he came up, the other party would definitely be prepared and thoughtful, and even be able to prevaricate this request with "disdain" as the interface. But at this moment, Xie Yixiang had already shown her relationship with Dai Qi and Dinghai Jian, and completely angered the other party with words, so Zhao Ruo regretted that he was angry and suddenly heard that he was going to make himself swear, and he was unprepared in his heart, and immediately showed the most real reaction.

I saw that Zhao Ruoregret was silent for a while, it can be said that his arrogance was completely gone, and finally said in a low voice: "I can swear that what I said is absolutely not a word false." Xie Yixiang immediately grasped the flaw in his words and asked, "Then there is something to hide?"

When Lord Chang heard this, he immediately exclaimed, he was an old fritter in the officialdom, and immediately understood the conversation between the two sides. Xie Yixiang obviously wanted Zhao Ruoregret to swear by "no word is true, no concealment", but Zhao Ruoregret's answer only mentioned "not a word is false", and the implication is clearly that everything he said is "concealed". In fact, even if there was no flaw in Zhao Ruo's answer, just the silence when he heard that he was going to swear by himself was enough to make people suspicious of him.

For a while, many people suddenly cheered up, and their eyes swept towards this Zhao Ruoregret. Unexpectedly, the third lady of Xie Fengxuan's family really had a bit of a doorway, and in just a few words, she made the famous "carved sword" Zhao Ruoregret reveal his flaws. Zhao Ruo is not stupid, he has already woken up at this moment, Xie Yixiang's so-called "Master has long known what he has done" is simply a fictitious thing, the purpose is to deceive his own flaws and find out what happened on the night of the murder.

For a while, Zhao Ruoregret couldn't tell whether he was surprised or scared on his face, he stood for a long time, and finally sighed and slowly sat back on the chair. He took another sip of the Emei snow buds in front of him, waved his hand and said, "That's it! Actually, I did hide something about that night." ”

As soon as these words came out, it was as if a thunderbolt exploded in the front hall, and Bi Changxiao, who was in the master's seat, was shocked and couldn't help asking, "Teacher Zhao, is it ...... Don't you ......" Zhao Ruoregret understood what he meant, immediately shook his head, and said: "Master Bi doesn't have to be careful, I am not the murderer of King Heng. It's just that before the murder that night, I actually saw some things, some things that I shouldn't have seen, but I didn't confide in everyone. ”

Master Chang was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly said: "I didn't expect that there has been no progress in this case for three months, but today I am fortunate that Miss Xie San has come forward in person, and there is actually a new discovery! Teacher Zhao, you can hide it from us!" The Song staff general added: "Presumably, everyone does not want to waste time in this Bifu, as Miss Xie San just said, the most important thing at the moment is to close this case as soon as possible, and go half of the road to the sky." So from this moment on, please don't hide anything, if there is anyone who is not untrue in his words, then don't blame my old Song for using torture tools!"

Seeing that Zhao Ruoregret was finally broken by herself, Xie Yixiang secretly screamed a fluke in her heart. I just realized that the headless corpse in front of me was chopped off after death, which was clearly inconsistent with the murder described by everyone on the spot, so I used words to test Zhao Ruo, who was the only one who witnessed the "Guan Gong Manifestation", and I didn't expect him to hide something. At that moment, Xie Yixiang said "offended", sat back in the chair by herself, and waited for Zhao Ruoregret to speak.

Zhao Ruoregret pondered for a moment again, and then said: "It was very hot and sleepless that night, and I did plan to go to Steward Fu to ask for some wine, but before that, I didn't stay in my own house, but wandered around the mansion and enjoyed the cool by myself. Around the time of the first watch, I passed by the 'Fengwu Pavilion' in the house, and found that there was a faint light in the house, apparently someone was inside......"

As soon as he said this, Bi Changxiao immediately raised his eyebrows and said: "This is absolutely impossible!" The 'Wind Dance Pavilion' is also one of the guest rooms in the mansion, when my father built the mansion, it was specially prepared for the ladies in the palace, but after the death of my father, where are the nobles in the palace visiting in the Bi Mansion? Therefore, this 'Wind Dance Pavilion' is like the 'Dragon Yin Pavilion' where King Heng lived that night, and it has been vacant for many years, even if the people in the mansion have not been instructed by me and the Fu steward, they do not dare to enter and clean at will. How could anyone stay inside in the middle of the night?"

Master Chang hurriedly persuaded: "Zheng Guogong is a little restless, let's listen to Teacher Zhao first." As he spoke, he summoned an attendant to record what Zhao Ruocheng said one by one. I saw Zhao Ruoregret nodding and said: "As Master Bi said, I also know the origin of this 'Wind Dance Pavilion', so I was also very curious at that time, and I didn't know who was in the house." However, this is a private matter in Bifu, and as an outsider as a guest, it is inconvenient for me to explore it. Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly heard a faint burst of singing from the 'Wind Dance Pavilion', vaguely a woman's voice, singing intermittently: '...... Jin Le sat in the carved saddle neighing, and the sun was cold...... In Cao Ying's heart is in Han, I don't know if my brother Wang can be safe?' There seems to be an indescribable resentment in his singing, and there is a faint hint of murderous intent. ”

Speaking of this, Bi Yixiao was the first to react, and immediately her face changed slightly, and she said: "This is the lyrics in "White Horse Slope and Cutting Yan Liang", which is about Guan Gong temporarily surrendering to Cao Cao to protect his two brothers and sisters-in-law, so he is in Cao Ying's heart in Han, and he is worried about Uncle Liu Huang. I've heard of this play. General Song also said: "Yes, I have heard it too." ”

Zhao Ruocheng nodded slowly and said, "I was also surprised when I heard this burst of singing. In the middle of the night, how could there be a woman singing Guan Gong's drama about killing Yan Liang in the 'Wind Dance Pavilion'? When I listened carefully, the singing stopped abruptly and I never heard a word again. So I couldn't contain my curiosity, and cautiously sneaked into the 'Wind Dance Pavilion', and followed the light of the lamp room after room, and finally came to a small room on the second floor, where the light came from through the thick window paper on the door. I moistened the window paper with my saliva, quietly punctured a small hole, and put my eyes up to see it. I saw that the arrangement inside was a woman's boudoir, in which the flower bed wardrobe and the copper mirror dressing table were all available, and at this moment, in front of the dresser, there was clearly a woman who was dressing in the mirror, only wearing a pajamas as thin as light gauze, and the jade grease skin was faintly visible under the clothes, but she was facing away from me, and she couldn't see her face clearly. As for the light that I saw from the outside, it came from an oil lamp on the dresser in the house. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Ruoxian's voice also became a little trembling, obviously palpitating, and even Xie Yixiang heard a chill rising from the bottom of her heart. In the middle of the night, I saw a woman in the room that should have been empty, and she was grooming in the mirror, and she was singing Guan Gong's drama about killing Yan Liang in a soft voice, just thinking about it made people shudder, let alone seeing it with your own eyes?

Looking at the other people present, it seemed that they had the same feeling, and they moved their bodies in their positions one after another. Except for De Yizi, Ouyang Cha and Tu Lingxiao, who were still asleep with their eyes closed, and Monk Hai Niansong, who was meditating on the chair, everyone else was attracted by Zhao Ruo's speech, and even the Bingtai, who had always been hostile to him, was listening carefully at the moment.

I only heard that Zhao Ruocheng continued: "Seeing this strange scene, I was also a little scared at the time, and I didn't dare to make the slightest sound. Although I couldn't see her appearance, under the reflection of the oil lamp on the dresser, through the reflection of her dressing bronze mirror, I could vaguely see a crimson face in the bronze mirror, as red as the face on the stage......

Hearing this, Bi Changxiao couldn't help but stand up from his seat and blurted out, "Could it be ...... Is she going to make herself up as Guan Gong?"
