173 [Purgatory spectrum](1/2)
Capturing Wei Chang and the fake beauty Zhang alive means two more people can ask, and it seems that Wei Chang has been a traitor in the palace for a long time, so he should know a lot.
As for these two people, judging from their expressions, Meiren Zhang almost committed suicide just now. She seemed quite loyal and might not speak when asked.
But Wei Chang, a man with a scathing eyes, seemed to be more active. When something happened, he usually had less courage to escape, so everyone decided to start with Wei Chang.
"Tell me." Zhan Zhao poked Wei Chang, "To be honest, I will spare you and be eunuch if I don't tell the truth!"
...
Everyone looked at each other silently. Zhan Zhao's threat was probably inspired by Xiao Dongzi.
Wei Chang grinned and begged for mercy, saying that he was willing to say everything, and that he was actually forced to do so.
According to Wei Chang's account, the fake beauty Zhang was named Zhang Xie, and they were both descendants of the Chenjia Village people who were trapped with Chen Mao in the purgatory under the Golden Ancient City.
At that time, people from Dongjia Village took the money and went to have fun everywhere, but Chenjia Village almost lost nearly half of its strong labor and suffered heavy losses. Later, they also lost their children and grandchildren fled to their own future and lost contact.
Wei Changshu studied well, and finally found such a good job in the management room. His parents died early, and his brother was a man, who saved labor and paid a lot of salary, and lived a free and easy life.
But one day, Chen Xiu suddenly found him, and several other fellow villagers who said they were his.
Wei Chang originally thought that his fellow villagers could not make it, so he wanted to help make a living, but unexpectedly, these fellow villagers were good at killing people without blinking, especially Chen Xiu, who set fire when he flipped his hands, scaring his own master to death!
Chen Xiu asked him to enter the Chilian Hall, but he refused. On the one hand, Chen Xiu accused him of not even revengeing his ancestors, and on the other hand, he threatened him. If he did not help, he would immediately turn into scorched earth.
Wei Chang was frightened by him and had no choice but to cooperate with him in order to save his life. He tattooed a fire phoenix on his arm and did his business for him.
The task Chen Xiu gave him was not difficult. He asked him to find something in the palace and be an insider. If he had to arrange someone to come in, Wei Chang's position would be more convenient to help cover it.
So, Wang Dong pretended to be his father-in-law and went into the palace and later escaped were all his secret actions.
But over the years, Chilian Palace has grown bigger and bigger, and Wei Chang doesn't know what they want to do. The original free days are gone, and he is worried every day, fearing that one day the heads of people will fall.
Not long ago, Zhang Xie entered the palace because Wei Chang and Wang Dong had not found any clues after searching for so long. Chen Xiu was a little impatient. Moreover, Chen Xiu seemed to have some clues, so he asked Zhang Xie to come in as a beauty Zhang. Zhang Xie's kung fu is much better than Wei Chang and Wang Dong, and it is convenient to do things.
A while ago, Zhang Xie suddenly came to Wei Chang and asked him to send a message to Tongling, asking him to find a way to enter the palace. He found the turtle shell, but it was difficult to get it, so he asked Tongling to start.
When everyone heard this, they were a little confused. Indeed, according to Zhang Xie's reaction, he should have placed the silver tortoise shell in the yard of Concubine Pang. But he should not have calculated that the little Sizi put the tortoise shell into the house and put the table legs! Also... why did he do this? Since he has already obtained the tortoise shell, it would not be better to hand it over to Wei Chang and let him take it out of the palace. Why do you have to hide it in Concubine Pang's yard for the bronze bell to steal it?
Wei Chang looked puzzled and said, "I'll tell you more, can you convict me more?"
Bao Zheng nodded and said yes.
"Actually, as far as I know, Chen Xiu trusts Tongling very much and admires him very much." Wei Chang said, "So even if Tongling is not from Chenjia Village, he has sat in the position of the deputy hall master. But I heard several brothers from the Chenjia Village in Chi Lian Hall complain that Tongling does not care about anything except martial arts, and they don't know anything, and they are particularly annoying. But Chen Xiu just valued him and asked him to make a second deal. To put it bluntly, if Chen Xiu has a long and short position in the future, then the Chi Lian Hall built by so many of them has worked hard to make wedding dresses for others?"
After hearing the bronze bell, everyone had some clues.
"Oh..." Gongsun nodded, "Zhang Xie deliberately let Tongling enter the palace and ventured to go to Concubine Pang's yard to get the shells. Now in the palace, Concubine Pang's yard is the most strictly guarded place. If he goes in, it will be difficult for him to come out. That's right, he has good skills, but there are many masters in the palace, and Zhao Pu and the others should be there on the night of the celebration... Of course, someone wants his life, and this move is to kill people with a knife!"
Everyone nodded. As Zhang Meiren's identity, she was so special. If she wanted to get the turtle shell back, she could take it back calmly at any time. Tongling, a person who only knows martial arts and does not even have common sense in life, is really easy to deceive.
But who knew that human calculations were not as good as God's calculations. Tongling was captured, and Wei Chang ran away after he found out. After all, he was outside the palace.
Beauty Zhang belongs to the inner palace. Early this morning, the people from Kaifeng Prefecture almost turned the inner palace upside down. She probably heard about it, but not many people knew about finding the turtle shell. Zhang Xie should have been afraid that the night would be long and dreams would be too long, so he wanted to take it away, so he cooked the dishes and prepared to meet Pang Concubine.
But who knew that Zhao Pu and Gongsun pretended to quarrel in the yard, and the entire inner palace was heard by throwing the flower pot. Zhang Xie naturally wanted to come over and persuade the fight, and then he led everyone away and asked the maid to secretly collect the silver armor under the flower pot while cleaning up. Unexpectedly, this fell into the trap of Gongsun and Zhao Pu, and it was a self-invested person after being guilty.
"After a long time, the internal struggle was defeated, and we were also a blessing in disguise." Gongsun shook his head.
"By the way." Zhan Zhao asked Wei Chang, "What else do you look for besides looking for tortoise shells?"
Wei Chang replied, "I'm looking for jade."
"Yu?" Everyone was puzzled, "What jade is looking for?"
"Well, I don't know this. I didn't say it was a jade pendant, a jade plate or a jade pendant, it was jade in any case." Wei Chang said, "This jade is not an ordinary jade. It is said that if you roast it with fire, a phoenix will appear!"
Everyone stared at him.
"Really!" Wei Chang swore quickly, "I just want to save my life, I really don't hide it. It was Chen Xiu who asked us to find jade merchants everywhere, and also to find this magical piece of jade pendant. Even the jade pendant of Fire Phoenix and Fire Dragon was made because of this legendary jade."
Everyone frowned when they heard this. Chen Xiu seemed to be very cautious and was worried about asking someone to do things. He arranged two or three secretly, and then split the thing into two and half pieces for different people.
"Where did you find the tortoise shell?" Bai Yutang was very curious. Why did there be tortoise shells in the palace, but Wang Dong couldn't find it?
"In the Great Curry." Wei Chang said, "Zhang Xie later told me that it was the Silver Curry."
"Yinku?" Zhan Zhao looked at Zhao Pu and Lord Bao curiously.
Zhao Pu knew, "Oh, usually gold, silver and jadeware are open separately. In addition to entering the national treasury, gold and silver will also enter the treasury and silver treasury. Most of the gold and silver in the treasury are copied from the homes of corrupt officials. This kind of treasury is collectively called the big treasury, which is equivalent to a reserve of the treasury. If one day there is no money when the war begins, you can take out the gold and silver in this treasury, recast it into silver and gold bricks, and then use it."
Lord Bao also nodded, "But I have few wars on the rich, so I have never used it before, and many people don't even know the existence of this treasury."
Everyone got clues and returned to Kaifeng and imprisoned Wei Chang and Zhang Xie.
"Look for jade!"
In the yard, everyone sat together again to discuss the case.
What confused them the most now is no longer the person behind the scenes or the final intention, but... Why did Chen Xiu make a big fuss to find jade?
"What jade? Can a phoenix fly out when the fire burns?" Zhao Pu curled his lips and leaned against a vine couch to scratch his head.
Lin Yehuo lay on the table and yawned, "There are jades that change color when burned, but weren't Chen Xiu and the others wholeheartedly looking for purgatory and the ancient golden city to practice martial arts? Why did it turn out to be jades again?"
Everyone was unsolved.
At this time, the kitchen aunt brought a large pot of seafood fried noodles with a few girls, "Don't you know you're hungry?"
Everyone was stunned, and smelled the fragrance of their faces and knew they were hungry.
Even Pang Yu and Bao Yan in the study were smoked out, so hungry that they were exhausted. They lay on the table holding a plate and waiting for the kitchen aunt to divide the noodles.
By the way, since Bai Yutang came to Kaifeng Mansion, Kaifeng's food level has improved by leaps and bounds. It is not that the kitchen aunt has improved her skills, but because the ingredients are so good that seafood alone has never stopped.
Xiaoyu and Xiaocui worked together to hold a large plate of grouper on the table, and put it close to Bai Yutang, "Fifth Master, what a big and fresh grouper, this is only half, the whole piece is bigger than the table!"
Xiao Cui also said, "We don't live by the sea. It's the first time we eat such a big fish, which is fresh and tender."
Bai Yutang smiled at the two girls, and Xiaoyu and Xiaocui were so dizzy that they followed the kitchen aunt back to the kitchen.
Zhan Zhao chewed the fried noodles and glanced at Bai Yutang - the mouse that attracted bees and butterflies.
Bai Yutang sat down, ate the fried noodles and looked at him, signaling him to look at his own bowl and then to other people's bowls.
Zhan Zhao blinked and looked down, and found that he had the most fried noodles and the most good things in his bowl.
Everyone sighed silently - the kitchen aunt is indeed a cute pet.
Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows at Zhan Zhao too - attracting bees and butterfly cats!
Zhan Zhao picked up a chopstick of grouper meat and sent it to his mouth, then his eyes lit up, and then he began to squint his eyes happily.
Bai Yutang stared at him for a while, reached out to hold a large piece and sent it to his mouth.
Zhan Zhao opened his mouth - ah woo... After that, the happiness in his eyes was filled with joy... Bai Yutang was stunned, and feeding the cat was indeed full of fun!
Everyone was eating delicious food silently and watching Bai Yutang feed cats on site. But after all, I would like to thank Zhan Zhao. They were all fed by Bai Yutang when they were feeding cats...
The little Sizi chewed the fried noodles with her cheeks, looking at Gongsun and Zhao Pu who were eating beside her.
Zhao Pu doesn’t eat fish, he just eats fried noodles.
"Jiujiu, don't you like to eat fish?" Xiao Sizi asked.
Zhao Pu curled his lips, "The fish have bones, so it's troublesome to eat."
The little Sizi smiled and said, "Ah, Jiujiu can't spit out fish bones, no wonder he doesn't eat fish."
Zhao Pu looked contemptuous, "If you eat too much fish, you won't gain meat. You are the skinny people who eat it..."
Before he finished speaking, he received two sharp gazes from Zhan Zhao and Gongsun.
Zhao Pu shut his mouth honestly.
Gongsun reached out and picked up a piece of fish and put it in his bowl, "The grouper has no bones, so eat it with confidence."
"Are you nerd lying to me?" Zhao Pu looked at Gongsun with his eyes squinted, feeling disbelief.
Gongsun was angry and thought to himself that he was kind to treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs. After thinking about it, he reached out to pick up the piece of fish just now and took a bite to Zhao Pu to show it.
Zhao Pu stared at Gongsun's mouth chewing fish meat and opened his mouth, "I want that piece of yours!"
Gongsun Heng glanced at him and said, "Clip it by yourself."
Zhao Pu leaned over, opened his mouth, and ate the remaining half of the fish that Gongsun had not had time to put into his mouth. He also licked the chopsticks in Gongsun's hand.
Gongsun reached out and knocked his head, "Don't lick the chopsticks when eating, there is no rule!"
Zhao Pu smiled and chewed the fish, while everyone else sighed aside - Gongsun is worthy of being a father, and the focus is indeed different from that of a mortal.
The little Sizi obediently picked up the fish meat for Zhao Pu and sent it to his mouth, "Ninety-nine, I will pick up the fish meat without thorns for you to eat in the future."
Zhao Pu is full of joy - his son is so good!
Gongsun glanced at Xiao Sizi, who quickly picked up another chopstick and sent it to Gongsun's mouth.
Gongsun ate and gave Zhao Pu a look.
Zhao Pu blinked at Xiao Sizi, "I want it even."
The little Sizi went to pick it up again, Zhao Pu ate it, Gongsun wanted it, and the little Sizi picked it up again, so the little Sizi took a pair of chopsticks and took turns picking fish for the two fathers.
In the end, Xiao Liang couldn't bear to see it anymore, so he pulled out Xiao Sizi's chopsticks and put them in the middle. Then he carried Xiao Sizi over and picked up fish for him. While glanced at Zhao Pu and Gongsun, he muttered, "Do you two like those chopsticks by yourself? I, Jin'er, have no choice but to eat them myself."
