Chapter 118 He committed suicide for love
"Did you find anything?" asked the woman in red costume.
"Are you Shisan Niang's apprentice?" Jiang Yunxi asked. She had seen her in the Pear Garden.
Bai Lu nodded.
Jiang Yunxi looked at the ghosts present and said slowly, "You know how Shisan Niang died, right? I went back in time and became Shisan Niang."
The ghosts were silent: "..."
She actually entered Shisan Niang's body.
Of course they knew how Shisan Niang died.
At that time, many people were poisoned, and the government invited doctors to help them detoxify, but the doctors were unable to do so, so everyone had to go to Shisan Niang.
Let her give up the essence of opera and never sing opera again.
The people naturally knew that this was wrong, but with so many lives at stake, they shamelessly came to her for help.
Unexpectedly, she agreed to them.
All the people were grateful to her and thought she was righteous and kind.
That night, before going to the opera house, the men in black gave Shisan Niang some of the antidote as she had requested. However, they never expected that Shisan Niang would die with them.
When they rushed to put out the fire, it was already too late, but they still desperately poured water on it. They felt guilty, self-blame, pain, and remorse.
If they hadn't begged her, the fire wouldn't have happened.
Shisan Niang is dead.
The once dazzling Pear Garden was burned to ruins.
After that, the Jiangzhou government built the Thirteen Temples specifically to worship the Thirteenth Lady. Since the day it was built, the incense has been burning brightly and has never stopped.
"Master..." Bai Lu's eyes were filled with tears. When her master said that he wanted to disband the opera house that day, she felt something was wrong.
But she insisted on sending everyone away, so they had no choice but to leave.
Unexpectedly, that night she chose to die with the men in black, saving the people and protecting the essence of opera. However, she could no longer sing opera.
As her direct disciple, she knew very well how much she loved opera.
Every time she teaches them, she is very serious and gives careful guidance. She is the best master they have ever met, and she is like family to them.
At that time, she agreed to save the people and chose to sacrifice herself.
Few people can truly have this kind of love.
"Did the Jiangzhou fire also start on that day?" Jiang Yunxi asked. She became Shisan Niang and died, so she didn't know what happened afterwards.
"No, it's three years later." Bai Lu said quickly. After the fire in the Pear Garden, Jiangzhou calmed down, and they, the disciples, decided to pass on their master's opera.
But they are not her masters after all, and cannot surpass her, but it also allows Jiang Zhou to continue to be famous, and the outside world still appreciates Jiang Zhou's opera.
Until three years later, a fire suddenly broke out.
It was a sudden disaster, with no forewarning.
After hearing what she said, Jiang Yunxi quickly came up with a guess, "Have you ever thought that perhaps someone wanted to avenge Shisan Niang, and so deliberately prepared that fire?"
"Of course, it's also possible that the people behind the men in black didn't want Jiangzhou's opera to continue to develop, so they destroyed Jiangzhou."
Bai Lu bit her red lip and said, "I've thought about it. We were sorry for Master's death, but we still resent the person who set the fire. There are also many innocent people in Jiangzhou."
"You're right. Every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. We should find the person responsible and not harm the innocent." Jiang Yunxi agreed with this.
If someone really wanted to avenge Shisan Niang, the person who set the fire was too irrational.
The one who deserves to die the most is the person behind the man in black.
If they hadn't appeared, Shisan Niang wouldn't have to make such a difficult decision.
Of course, the fire might have been set by the person behind the man in black. The other party had sent people to find Shisan Niang in order to destroy Jiangzhou's opera.
Three years later, Shisan Niang's disciples continued to develop the opera, and the other party had a motive to take action.
"It seems there is still no clue this time." The older man sighed. He felt guilty towards Shisan Niang.
If it weren't for her during those five years, Jiangzhou would not have had opera, let alone become the hometown of opera. It was also because of opera that Jiangzhou became famous and boosted local business.
People's businesses are booming, their incomes are higher, and naturally their lives are better.
She is a great benefactor to the people of Jiangzhou.
But it was wrong for the people to go to her for help that time, but there was really no other way.
"The others haven't come back yet." Jiang Yunxi said, but she guessed that they might not get anything either, unless they saw some strange people three years later.
But two things are certain now.
One is that someone avenged Shisan Niang.
The second is the person behind the man in black.
Ghosts: “…”
Next.
Jiang Yunxi chatted with them and knew that they truly admired and appreciated Shisan Niang, and they were really sorry for asking her for help that time.
Actually, if you think about it carefully, it’s difficult to comment on this matter.
Those men in black poisoned the people because of Shisan Niang. The people were innocent too. The real culprit was the person behind the men in black.
She guessed that Shisan Niang thought the same.
She did not blame the people. Before she died, she had no complaints in her heart. She was willing to sacrifice herself, but she always had regrets.
Because Meng Fusheng was gone and didn't even really understand her, this was what made her most sad.
Suddenly, the air moved.
Zhan Beiyuan, Gu Zhoubai, Xu Changfeng, and Xu Wanwan are all back.
Jiang Yunxi asked with a smile: "Who have you all become? I have become Thirteenth Lady."
"I became Meng Fusheng. After Shisan Niang died, Meng Fusheng committed suicide after learning the news." Zhan Beiyuan said lightly, if Meng Fusheng had not left the opera house at that time.
They will also be tragic.
Jiang Yunxi was stunned. She never expected that Meng Fusheng would commit suicide for love. She was just wondering if Meng Fusheng was avenging Shisan Niang.
But then he felt that maybe that wasn't the case, as he didn't seem like the type of person to lose his mind.
"He, he committed suicide for love..." Bai Lu said in surprise. There had been no news of Meng Fusheng since he left the opera house, although her master had never announced to the public that they were together.
But in fact, they could all see that their relationship was not ordinary.
Because the men in black used him to threaten their master, he proposed to leave the opera house not long after. They were all angry with him in private and felt that he was ruthless.
The Master's refusal to accept the black-clad man's offer in exchange for his life must have been a temporary measure, because they all knew that the Master was not a cold-blooded and ruthless person.
"Is it really a suicide for love?" Jiang Yunxi looked at Zhan Beiyuan and asked. She was also a little surprised.
"It's true." Zhan Beiyuan said with certainty. What he experienced was exactly what Meng Fusheng had experienced decades ago.
Jiang Yunxi said thoughtfully, "So it seems that the person who set fire to Jiangzhou three years later was the one behind the men in black, with the intention of causing the decline of Jiangzhou opera."
"You haven't asked me who I became yet?" Xu Wanwan frowned.
"Who have you become?" Jiang Yunxi asked with a smile.
"Her." Xu Wanwan pointed at the woman in red costume.
Bai Lu's eyes widened. She actually experienced her past.
