【Kuan Xin】Snake and Venom

When Wang Kuan and the others came to Xi Garden, there were many people coming and going in the garden, and there were a lot of tea customers, chatting while drinking tea, no one paid attention to the stage at all, and the curtain had already closed on the stage, and there were no actors in sight—— Now it's only a short time into the night, so the stage shouldn't be closed early.

Zhao Jian scanned the surroundings and asked suspiciously: "Strange, why is there no one singing?"

At this time, a young servant passed by with a teapot and overheard Zhao Jian's question. He smiled plainly and said, "Which ones are coming to Xiyuan for the first time?"

Although Zhao Jian wanted to say that Wei Yanei was a regular visitor here, after a little weighing, he finally nodded silently.

The little servant suddenly realized, and explained enthusiastically: "So that's the case. No wonder you don't know about it. Since the first day of singing, Miss Suyi, the pillar of our Xiyuan, has had an unwritten rule that she only sings three plays a day. One in the morning, one in the middle of the night, one in the evening, if there are too many, it will be gone, a few of you came by accident, the stage has just been put away not long ago."

Zhao Jian tentatively asked: "Brother, we are here to handle the case. I have a few questions for Miss Suyi. Can you introduce me?"

The little servant showed a look of embarrassment, and he said hesitantly: "Everyone, it's not that I don't want to help. Miss Suyi rarely sees people on weekdays except for performing on stage. She has a cold temper and is difficult to get close to us, let alone outsiders." See you soon."

Wang Kuan said suddenly: "Just say that we came here this time to An Lijiu. The situation is urgent. I hope Miss Suyi can understand."

The little servant was in a dilemma, he looked at the five people hesitantly, and suddenly caught sight of Wei Yanei standing behind Wang Kuan, he recognized him, the sons of the Taiwei in front of the palace were all here, so these few people might be real The one who came here was to handle the case. After hesitating again and again, the servant put down the teapot, turned around and entered the backyard.

After a while, the servant came out with a rather strange expression, and said to the five people: "Miss Suyi said that she can see you, go in through that door and go straight to the sidewalk backyard, Miss Suyi is waiting there."

The five of them nodded slightly to show their thanks, and then walked away in the direction the boy said.

The servant was puzzled, and muttered inwardly, who is this An Lijiu? Why did the usually dignified and calm sister Su Yi become so excited when she heard the name, and accidentally knocked over a box of rouge.

As soon as the five of them entered the stone gate in the backyard, they saw a woman with graceful figure and elegant face standing in the cold wind. Looking from a distance, although she was alone, she was cold and deep, like a flash of epiphyllum, shining brightly. endlessly.

No need to guess, this woman is Su Yi.

Su Yi bowed slightly to the five people without being humble or overbearing, as a way of saying hello, and then she said lightly, with a clear and gentle voice: "Little girl Su Yi, I have seen you all."

The five looked at each other secretly, and were about to introduce themselves, but Su Yi said, "I know a few of you. I have been going to the door of the secret pavilion for the past few days, and I overheard your conversation, so I will tell you I wrote down my name—Mr. Wei, long time no see."

Wei Yanei twitched the corners of his mouth, waved his hands, and laughed a few times: "It's hard for Miss Suyi to remember me."

Zhao Jian asked: "Miss Suyi went to the door of the secret pavilion, but because she knew that the forbidden army had entrusted the matter of Anlijiu to our secret pavilion Qizhai, she wanted to inquire about the news?"

Su Yi didn't deny it, she nodded, and when Zhao Jian still wanted to ask questions, she said, "I know you will definitely come to my place to investigate An Lijiu, I made a pot of scented tea in the kitchen, please sit down five Wait a minute, I'll go and come back."

The five people sat around the stone table in the backyard, and Wei Yanei asked in puzzlement, "How did this Su Yi know that we are investigating the Anli Jiuyi case?"

Zhao Jian sighed, feeling like his brain was covered with a thick film: "I can't figure it out, but this Su Yi must have an extraordinary relationship with An Lijiu, and I suspect that An Lijiu has nothing. Said, nine out of ten have something to do with her."

At this moment, Su Yi came back, holding a wooden tray in her hand, with a teapot on it, and five white porcelain cups. After pouring a cup of scented tea for everyone, she fell silent, as if she was suffering. Thinking hard about how to speak.

Wang Kuan winked at Zhao Jian and Xiao Jing, and they immediately understood what he meant. As women, Zhao Jian and Xiao Jing came forward to inquire. For Su Yi, her heart was not so nervous.

Xiaojing said with crooked eyebrows, "Sister Suyi, how old are you than us? Can we call you Sister Suyi?"

Su Yi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded inaudibly.

Zhao Jian tentatively asked: "Sister Suyi, can you tell us about the relationship between you and Brother An?"

Su Yi struggled slightly, obviously she was the one who attracted the people from the secret pavilion, but she hesitated at this time, because she didn't know if she could trust these young people, let alone if her actions would harm An Li Nine.

Zhao Jian knew Su Yi's worries very well, and said in a very sincere tone: "Sister Su Yi, you don't have to worry, we came here because we found something strange during the investigation process, Brother An was probably wronged, and now The situation is quite urgent, I hope sister Suyi can tell everything, it will be extremely helpful to Brother An."

Su Yi remained silent, her eyes were complicated, her brows were furrowed, and she was troubled.

Wang Kuan pursed his lips and decided to tell Su Yi the truth: "Sister Su Yi, we really don't have much time left. Chang Dutou, who is imprisoning Brother An, came to us today and said that they have already passed a judgment internally. Brother An will be beheaded in the future, if we cannot find out the truth within four days, Brother An will have no way out."

Hearing this, Su Yi's pupils were shocked, and endless grief rose from the bottom of her eyes. She clenched her fists tightly, and the tingling pain of her nails sinking into her palm brought her back to her senses. Su Yi gritted her teeth, suppressed her trembling and said : "An Lijiu saved me, and to me, I have a life-saving grace that is still unclear."

The five of them listened silently without making any noise.

The makeup on Su Yi's face is very light, but it doesn't affect her elegance from the bottom of her heart in the slightest. Her apricot eyes are extremely beautiful, and the eyes are as bright as the galaxy, piercing with energy. Even if she was panicked just now, it can't destroy her half Meili, after pondering for a moment, said slowly, "Do you five know Cheng Su?"

Hearing this, Wang Kuan was shocked, and his eyes were deep: "Sister Suyi is talking about the former affairs of Cao, a member of the Privy Council?"

Su Yi nodded, her expression was gloomy, and her voice was choked: "Yes, Cheng Su has been a clear-minded person all his life, and cherished the suffering of the people. Eight years ago, he was persecuted by villains because he didn't want to join forces with the traitors in the court. More than forty people in his family were killed. To slander the Great Song sect and sue the present majesty, in just one day, all members of the Cheng family, young and old, were slaughtered."

The five people couldn't believe it, and it was very uncomfortable to hear it, because this incident was too tragic back then, even Wei Yanei, who rarely cared about the political affairs of the DPRK and China, had heard of it a little bit.

The case of the Cheng family caused a sensation in the entire Song Dynasty at that time. Cheng Su was full of praise for Cheng Su, but the people in the court believed that Cheng Su had a dissatisfaction with the Song Dynasty. After a thorough investigation, they found out Cheng Su did have evidence of contacts with Daxia. Suddenly, Cheng Su's public voice fell from the sky to the mud. The Holy One was extremely angry. He originally wanted to order the nine clans of the Cheng family to be implicated, but some senior officials took the lead to stop them. The nine clans did not But Cheng Su's family couldn't escape the bad luck.

Su Yi was overwhelmed with grief, and remembered the hellish scene back then. She thought that eight years had passed, and this matter had been deeply buried in her heart. Calm down: "My original name is Cheng Yi. Before the massacre came, my father took my name out of the genealogy and drove me out of the house. When I was fleeing, I met An Lijiu. If it wasn't for him, I would have died here Under the flying horse's hooves."

"I don't want to leave home, and I don't want to leave Kaifeng, because I think that one day, I can clean up the slander for the entire Cheng family, and let the dead souls get their grievances. An Lijiu was worried that some traitors would come to find me and get rid of my roots, so he He helped me enter this Xiyuan——four years ago, I was spotted by a local ruffian, and he saved me again, bought the entire Xiyuan, and handed over the control and title deed to me."

At this time, Wang Kuan and the others finally understood Su Yi's worries, not only because of An Lijiu, but also because of her background, she was not sure whether Wang Kuan and the others would refuse to help because of the Cheng family— After all, to this day, Cheng Su's name is still engraved on the traitor's inscription.

Xiaojing bit her lip and whispered, "So, sister Suyi, you like Brother An, right?"

Su Yi smiled wryly, her brows and eyes were full of sadness, and she said to herself, "I like it? It's been eight years, and it has already become love."

There was silence in the backyard, and the atmosphere was suddenly solemn and oppressive.

At this time, rustling footsteps sounded from the stone gate, and everyone looked at the source of the sound, and were surprised to find that the person who came was none other than Yuan Zhongxin who had been called by the head of the courtyard to talk.

Yuan Zhongxin looked at the six people with his head, and then said with a smile: "I'm sorry everyone, I'm late--Sister Suyi, hello, my name is Yuan Zhongxin."
