C6 Suspicion

Ye Yunshu, who was playing the piano in her room, did not know that Gu Liansheng was standing under the attic listening to her music.

In the end, Gu Liansheng still decided to go to the cell to check it out. He had to figure out whether this distant and quiet music killed people or not.

It was almost midnight, and he could only hear the sound of the beating. Gu Liansheng stepped on the moonlight and came to the cell. He was dressed in white and was moving quickly in the dark cell. He did not alert anyone.

"Ah, save me. Someone come. "

Gu Liansheng followed his memory and came to the door of Shopkeeper Liu's cell, which he had captured during the day. He found that Shopkeeper Liu was covered in wounds and blood. He was still dying to ask for help.

"I am so innocent. "

Manager Liu's voice became weaker and weaker. Gu Liansheng just stood there quietly. He had to bear with it, because people were at their weakest when they were in a desperate situation.

"I'm going to die. Let me tell you, if I die, don't even think about living a good life. "

Shopkeeper Liu started to turn his begging into anger.

"Who is he?" Gu Liansheng finally spoke slowly.

"Who?"

Shopkeeper Liu's entire body began to tremble. He was like a stray dog, causing others to sympathize with him.

"What do you think?" Gu Liansheng opened the door of the cell effortlessly, and Bu Ruoting stood in front of Manager Liu.

"It's you?" Shopkeeper Liu recalled the evidence that Gu Liansheng had brought out today. He thought that Gu Liansheng was here to take his life, and his face turned ashen.

"What do you think? Can you tell us the truth about the sound of the zither killing people in this city now?"

"What are you going to do?" Shopkeeper Liu understood. The man in front of him was not simple. What he cared about was not his life. Twenty was more important than his life.

Shopkeeper Liu turned the bead in the blink of an eye. The businessman's plan followed. He said carefully, "What do you want to know?"

Gu Liansheng smiled. As he expected, Shopkeeper Liu did know something. However, it seemed like it wasn't that simple for him to know.

"Who told you? Why did you want to kill, and how did you do it? "

Shopkeeper Liu's eyes seemed to see light. He endured the pain and sat up. He said, "If you can save me, I will tell you. This deal doesn't seem to be difficult for you, right?"

"Yes. " Gu Liansheng replied without hesitation.

"Okay, okay, okay. Let me tell you. "

"A few days ago, my shop suddenly received a messenger bird. The letter said that I would go to Happy Teahouse to book a private room three days later and then withdraw. After the matter is done, it will give me thirty thousand taels. At that time, I was also blinded by greed, so I agreed. "

Shopkeeper Liu was somewhat regretful. He had almost lost his life for thirty thousand taels of silver. It was truly not worth it.

"You have seen that person?"

Gu Liansheng asked.

Shopkeeper Liu recalled and said, "That is a woman. At that time, she was quite far away, and she was wearing a veil. I didn't see her clearly, but this woman has a graceful figure. She must be a beautiful woman. It shouldn't be difficult to find her. "

Upon hearing this, Gu Liansheng fell into deep thought. Was it her? A beautiful girl, playing the zither, and borrowing silver taels from him. Ye Yunshu's voice and appearance appeared in his mind again.

"Okay. " Gu Liansheng was about to leave after he finished speaking, but Shopkeeper Liu pulled on the corner of his shirt in the next moment.

"Young master, do you want to break your promise?" Shopkeeper Liu became anxious, and his face turned red.

"You can walk out by yourself. "

Gu Liansheng left after he finished speaking, and only Shopkeeper Liu was left looking at his back as he fell into deep thought. Who was he?

On the second day, Ye Yunshu had not slept so well for a long time. She had been busy with concerts in modern times, and she had not rested for a long time this time.

"Ye Yunshu, what time is it? You are still sleeping. Are you a pig?"

Shopkeeper Chiang's angry roar sounded in her ears again, making Ye Yunshu, who originally wanted to stay in bed, completely lose her good mood.

"What are you shouting for? Didn't you get up?"

Ye Yunshu also did not wash up and walked out of the room. In the next second, she regretted it. Gu Liansheng, a living person, was standing in the hall. His white clothes made people look at him a few more times. Shopkeeper Chiang, who was beside him, was waiting on him, afraid that he would neglect him.

"You, you, you, why are you here?" Ye Yunshu quickly covered her face with her hands, afraid that her eyes would be seen by Gu Liansheng.

Shopkeeper Chiang winked at Ye Yunshu, but Ye Yunshu did not see it. Gu Liansheng said calmly, "I only heard that Miss Ye was good at playing the guqin, so I came to admire and learn from her. I hope Miss Ye will not chase me away. "

Ye Yunshu had Shopkeeper Chiang here, so how could she dare to chase Gu Liansheng away? However, who would listen to the zither and come up early in the morning? Ye Yunshu was speechless.

She had already felt Shopkeeper Chiang's murderous gaze. She quickly ran back to her room to wash up.

After a quarter of an hour, Ye Yunshu finally finished packing. She even went downstairs to bring her guqin. Gu Liansheng couldn't help but take a few more glances. This guqin was indeed a good one.

After Ye Yunshu sat down in the hall, she asked Gu Liansheng, "What do you want to hear?"

"I want to hear you play that day. " After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and quietly waited for Ye Yunshu to start.

The song that he played that day was a song that was extremely difficult to play. It could not help but be music and emotions. He had to grasp them perfectly.

However, this was not difficult for Ye Yunshu.

The sound of the guqin was like a mountain of flowing water, mellow and deep. Although Gu Liansheng had heard her play the zither before, he was still amazed by it.

The sound of the zither had fallen to the end, and it had truly circled around the Liang family for three days.

Gu Liansheng pulled himself out from the sound of the zither. He stood up and said, "Miss Ye is indeed extraordinary. Today, I have opened my eyes. May I ask if you can treat me to another meal?"

Ye Yunshu also stood up and said straightforwardly, "I still need to thank you for helping me out of this predicament. I will treat you to a meal as a way to repay you for saving my life. "

The two of them arrived at Drunken Moon Pavilion, a famous restaurant here.

After they sat down, Ye Yunshu looked at the people coming and going outside the window in boredom while Gu Liansheng lowered his head to drink tea.

The short silence was finally broken and Gu Liansheng said seemingly unintentionally, "Miss Ye played a good zither. May I know where her teacher is?"

Ye Yunshu was stunned. Where did her teacher come from? She seemed to have forgotten. Perhaps it was because she did not receive the original owner's memories completely and she could not remember for a moment.

"I don't know. " Ye Yunshu replied honestly.

A flash of suspicion flashed across Gu Liansheng's eyes, but Ye Yunshu did not notice.

"I have been at Happy Teahouse for a long time. " Ye Yunshu suddenly remembered the empty space. Did she learn it from there? She was thinking.

Gu Liansheng asked again, "Why did you borrow money from me that day? Is there anything difficult to say? "

When she heard Gu Liansheng ask this, the fire in her heart rose again.

She said with some hatred, "Isn't it just to compensate? Shopkeeper Chiang is too stingy. He actually asked me for a lot of silver. Otherwise, he would sell me off. I have no choice but to borrow it from you. "

When she spoke, she even shrugged her shoulders to express her helplessness.
