Chapter 4 Another Death

The arguments among the people attracted the nuns from Changle Palace, and everyone ate on their own initiative without saying anything else.

After breakfast, everyone else left. Seeing that Yang Yuege looked abnormal, Xie Qingshu wanted to say something to comfort her, but Yang Yuege left irritably.

"It's no wonder that Sister Yang feels uncomfortable. Her fiancé is dead..."

"What fiancée?"

Xie Qingshu was stunned for a moment and looked slightly embarrassed. Jiang Sushang knew there was something behind her words, so he said, "Sister Xie, please don't hide it from me."

Xie Qingshu was about to speak but stopped, and took Jiang Sushang to a deserted place before talking in detail.

It turned out that by chance, she heard Yang Yuege and Sun Ming quarrel. Yang Yuege looked down on Sun Ming and insulted Sun Ming, saying that Fang Changliu was not even half as good as last week's Qiyan Fang Changliu, and said that Fang Changliu must be the number one scholar.

Sun Ming replied: "No matter how arrogant you are, you are still not my woman."

"I won't marry someone like you."

"You and I are already married. If you don't marry me, who will want you?"

"If you hadn't threatened me..." Yang Yuege said angrily: "You'd better not mention this matter. If you attract that person, you will only die."

After Xie Qingshu finished retelling, Jiang Sushang instantly understood that Sun Yuege must know the truth.

"We have to ask."

Jiang Sushang and Xie Qingshu looked around for Sun Yuege's whereabouts.

While searching, a woman's scream came from Bai Qingtian's room.

Everyone ran over. Yang Yuege was in Bai Qingtian's room, and Bai Qingtian died in the room. There was still a piece of Hui ink in his mouth, and several other pieces of Hui ink were scattered on the table.

"Yang Yuege, why are you here?" Jiang Sushang knelt down and helped Yang Yuege up: "What did you see?"

Yang Yuege shook his head and said crazily: "Don't look for me, don't look for me, I didn't do anything."

"Please wake up. What's going on? Tell me clearly." Jiang Sushang spoke seriously. She wanted to help Yang Yuege, but Yang Yuege was so frightened that he couldn't hear what Jiang Sushang said.

"He's back, Zhou Qiyan, don't look for me!"

Another person died!

The Jinshi of Changle Palace heard that Zhou Qiyan's ghost was causing trouble. Those who had mocked Zhou Qiyan in the past couldn't help but fear that the next person Zhou Qiyan would look for was themselves, and they all became afraid.

Zhou Qiyan is from a poor family, unlike some Jinshi who mostly have backgrounds. For example, the Jiang family is an imperial merchant, Jiang Sushang's uncle is also the minister of Dali Temple, Yang Yuege is the daughter of a gambling house owner, with a huge family fortune, and Xie Qingshu is a bachelor of Xie University. The granddaughters are both Chinese scholars.Those scholars who had a sense of family status saw that Zhou Qiyan was more talented and learned than him, so they found ways to humiliate him, either verbally or through actions.

What's more, it is rumored that Zhou Qiyan tastes very good and is first-class in bed.He once used ten taels of silver to keep him company for one night.

Another person died, and Dali Temple came to ask questions. Yang Yuege was so frightened that she couldn't answer any of Dali Temple's questions.

After an autopsy, it was confirmed that Bai Qingtian died of suffocation by swallowing ink. However, there were no traces of Yang Yuege's crime at the scene. Yang Yuege just happened to see this scene and was so frightened that he lost his mind.

Jiang Suchhang and Xie Qingshu took Yang Yuege back to the room. As soon as Yang Yuege returned to the room, she huddled on the bed. One quilt was not enough, so she took Jiang Sushang's quilt.

She held the amulet and muttered: "Gods and gods bless me, I didn't do anything... I won't die..."

Two people are dead now, and they all seem to be related to Zhou Qiyan. Sun Ming is the top one in the test. It is rumored that if Zhou Qiyan doesn't die, he must be the first. Everyone speculates that Zhou Qiyan's ghost was unwilling to accept it, so he stabbed Sun Ming to death with a brush; and Bai Qingtian After insulting Fang Changliu in front of everyone, the person Zhou Qiyan cared about most during his lifetime was Fang Changliu, and then the ghost killed Bai Qingtian again.

Jiang Sushang does not believe in ghosts and gods, but all of this has a great relationship with the dead Zhou Qiyan.

But she couldn't mention Zhou Qiyan. Whenever she mentioned Zhou Qiyan, Yang Yuege would become nervous and shake like chaff.

"Sister Yang, drink some water to moisten your throat." Xie Qingshu brought hot tea and put it to Yang Yuege's mouth.

Yang Yuege drank hot tea, saw the window, and shouted: "Close the window!"

Xie Qingshu put down the tea cup in her hand and went to close the window.

During lunch and dinner time, Yang Yuege was unwilling to leave the room. Xie Qingshu stayed by her side, and Jiang Suchhang was responsible for taking the food back to the room.

The doors and windows were closed, and Yang Yuege was accompanied by someone, which made her slowly relax.

"I wonder how much the interest from the gambling house of Sister Yang's family is? My sister Lan Shi, if she cheats on me, I don't know how much she will lose?"

"The ordinary one is [-]%." Regarding the knowledge that Yang Yuege is good at, she continued: "But for other bets, the interest rate is [-]%."

"so tall?"

"It's not high, in some places it's still [-]%. Gamblers always think they can repay their losses, and they are very generous when borrowing money. Fang Changliu owed dozens of taels of silver at my house. I heard from my father that he still owed money. It hasn’t been repaid yet.”

"I didn't expect Fang Changliu to be such a person. If Sister Yang didn't tell me, I thought he was a first-rate talent with both talent and appearance."

"Fang Changliu hasn't been to my gambling house for a long time. I heard it was..." Yang Yuege's words stopped abruptly.
