[Seven-Five] I Long Song

Chapter 18 Consort

"The last question, has Zhao Wenxiu ever made enemies with others?"

"Although Zhao Wenxiu has an arrogant personality and a noble status, he occasionally has some conflicts with his classmates, but it is just a contest of knowledge, and it must not be to the point of killing him."

After asking the three questions, everyone finally found a new direction of inspection. A person who sneered at the things about Hongxiu Tianxiang and Yingying Yanyan kept going in and out of the brothel uncharacteristically, which is really weird.

Seeing that everyone in Kaifeng was lost in thought and ignored him, the old man rubbed his stomach, feeling hungry and panicked, so he said goodbye to everyone: "My lords, the little old man hasn't had a drop of water since morning, if you finish asking, can you let the little one Resign first?"

Zhan Zhao waved his hand: "Well, go ahead. Be careful these days, you don't know who is going to kill you, and you don't know if they are going to hit you again after one blow fails."

Although Zhan Zhao was very angry with this thick-skinned old man, but his life was at stake, so he subconsciously ordered one more sentence.

The old beggar was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and showed a sincere smile: "Thank you, Mr. Zhan, for your concern. Mr. Zhan and Lord Wu saved my life. Today, I will make an exception and present a message to the two of you."

"Zhao Wenxiu's father, Wen Liejin, is not as gentle and modest as he appears on the surface."

After finishing speaking, the old beggar ignored the five people who were frowning and thoughtful, and ran out for a big meal with freshly baked money.

Wen Liejin?

Yang Chizhang had only met this man once in Princess Zhaoyang's mansion, and his first impression was that he was gentle and elegant, and treated others with restraint.And the grief in his eyes that day couldn't be faked, Wen Liejin was really sad for his dead son from the bottom of his heart.But now the old beggar said that this person was not what he seemed on the surface, and it seemed that there was indeed a sense of disobedience.

Lord Bao said coldly: "Then Zhao Wenxiu only took a few hours from confirming his death to setting up the mourning hall and putting him in the coffin. Our speed is not too slow. Immediately report to the officials and wait for the Kaifeng Mansion to come for an autopsy, instead of setting up some mourning hall immediately."

Gongsun Ce also said: "Your Excellency's words are true. It is very strange to arrange the mourning hall first, and it also destroys the clues left by the death scene. We went to the room where Zhao Wenxiu slept before, and it was empty. There is no way to know about Zhao Wenxiu. Where did it get poisoned from?"

Zhan Zhao was puzzled: "No one in the huge princess mansion thinks something is wrong? There must be some people with a clear head who will remind the master to report to the officials first."

Bai Yutang touched the picture on his waist, and explained: "Did you notice that day that Wen Liejin called the butler who lit the candles?"

Zhan Zhao carefully recalled the details of that day. They entered the mourning hall together with Wen Liejin. Wen Liejin called to the housekeeper who was about to light the candles, and then lit the candles himself.He heard Wen Liejin call the middle-aged man: "Wen Butler".

arts?The housekeeper is also surnamed Wen?

Seeing Zhan Zhao's face suddenly enlightened, Bai Yutang continued: "If my predictions are correct, that steward Wen must belong to Wen Liejin, and I guess there should be quite a few servants surnamed Wen in the princess mansion."

Yang Chizhang said: "That day we saw that maid named Yimei was beaten half to death, and we couldn't bear it. Wen Liejin said that this was when the princess was looking for someone to vent her grief. The girl who burned the paper trembled."

Master Bao stroked his chin: "Princess Zhaoyang was quite favored by the late emperor. She grew up beautiful and precious, and she has a deep love for the emperor's siblings. It can be said that her life has been smooth."

Yang Chizhang nodded: "It's understandable for a girl like this to have a bad temper. In addition, there is Wen Liejin, another tolerant master. Comparing the two sides, it seems that Princess Zhaoyang is cruel to her servants." Over time, Wen Liejin became more popular."

Bai Yutang sneered: "On the surface it's still called Princess Zhaoyang's Mansion, but in fact it has become Wen's Mansion!"

As a dignified princess, Princess Zhaoyang grew up in a deep palace where people cannibalize people, but because she was favored by two generations of emperors, she developed a petite, willful and innocent temperament.As a princess, she was always the one to be flattered, not to mention that she had the biggest backer in the world.After getting married, the couple sang in harmony, Zhaoyang didn't want to deal with the human relations in the mansion, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, anyway, even if she went to the palace, she didn't have to deliberately flatter anyone.So Wen Liejin, as a son-in-law who couldn't go to court, slowly emptied Princess Zhaoyang and took power in the mansion.

However, as a man, he is in charge of the backyard, even if he is in power, Wen Liejin must not be very happy.

After the analysis is over, there are two places in front of everyone, and they must be checked.On one side is the flower planting hall, and on the other side is Princess Zhaoyang's mansion.

Bai Yutang felt that these two were both casual: "Master Bao is excluded, there are four of us here, so let's divide the troops into two groups. Mao'er and I will go to the Planting Flower House, and Chi Zhang, you and Mr. Gongsun will go to the Princess Mansion."

"No!" Zhan Zhao said urgently, his voice was so loud that it scared Master Bao who was closing his eyes to cultivate himself.

why?Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao with puzzled eyes.

Zhan Zhao's face was flushed, he hesitated and couldn't tell the reason, anyway, he said "No".

His family's jade hall is very romantic, and he knows a lot of famous courtesans and courtesans.If he went to the Planting Flower Pavilion, would he be investigating the case, or would he be an old lover!

Zhan Zhao felt a little sour for no reason.

"Then Gongsun and I will go to the Planting Flower Pavilion, and you and Yutang will go to the Princess Mansion." Yang Chizhang didn't know what Zhan Zhao was up to, so he exchanged it in a considerate manner.

"No!" The voice of opposition was louder than before.

But this time it was Gongsun Ce.

Seeing Gongsun Ce's expression of disapproval with pursed lips, Yang Chizhang was curious, and teased, "Why is this? Could it be that you are a thin-skinned scholar, and you are shy when you see Huaniang."

No, Gongsun Ce retorted in his heart.Looking at Chi Zhang's dazzingly handsome face so close at hand, he is even more determined not to let Chi Zhang go to the Flower Planting House.

When they go to investigate the case, they will inevitably ask one or two flower girls to cover up their eyes and ears.I heard that the flower girl in the planting flower shop is very bold, and Chi Zhang looks so good-looking, maybe who is the one who suffers!

This doesn't work, and that doesn't work either. The four people who couldn't agree on each other stared at each other.

On the other hand, Mr. Bao, who was frightened twice for no reason, had his veins throbbing, and cut the mess with a sharp knife: "Zhan Zhao and Mr. Gongsun will go to the Planting Flower House, and Mr. Bai and Mr. Yang will go to Princess Zhaoyang's Mansion. It's settled!"

After finishing speaking, Mr. Bao, who had a headache, went inside without giving them a chance to refute.

The four remaining: . . . . . .

Although it's not good for Mr. Bao to mess up the mandarin ducks and violently demolish CP like this, but this is indeed the best solution.Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ce refused to let Bai Yutang and Yang Chizhang go to the Planting Flower House, so they both went together.Moreover, going to the princess mansion is a secret investigation, and one must know martial arts, so Gongsun Ce, a pure literati with no martial arts, was excluded first.

Night fell.The bustling city of Kaifeng is still brightly lit, as if it were daytime.

The two Bai Yang who put on their night clothes and are about to go out:. . . . .

How can people investigate the case when it is as bright as daytime? !

Yang Chizhang and Bai Yutang, who had no choice but to wait, drank tea depressedly, but Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ce, who were about to go out to browse the brothel, looked at them and smiled.

Gongsun Ce: Well, it was the first time I saw Chi Zhang in black, but it still looked good.

Zhan Zhao: I’m used to seeing Yutang in white, but I didn’t expect to be so imposing in black!

Although the conclusions drawn are suspected of being added by fan filters and friend filters, the two people who rarely wear black clothes suddenly wear black clothes at this moment, and it does feel different.

Although Yang Chizhang knows martial arts, he is always polite and has a gentle smile, giving people the feeling that there are more literati than warriors.Putting on black clothes at this moment conceals a literati temperament and gentle appearance, and has a strong sense of chivalry.And Bai Yutang was very cold and aloof, usually dressed in white was more handsome.Now the upper body in black clothes, the coldness in his bones is undisguised, there are more assassins than knights.

The two looked happily at Yang Chizhang and Bai Yutang who were facing each other, but they didn't know that the people opposite were also looking at them.

In order to go to the Planting Flower Pavilion to investigate the case, both of them specially changed into clothes made of high-quality brocade, with valuable jade pendants hanging around their waists, and folding fans in their hands, looking like a romantic and talented man.

Of course, all of the above are sponsored by Bai Yutang.

People who usually wear red official uniforms or strong clothes suddenly changed into robes, which made people's eyes shine.But Bai Yutang was amused by the way the cat acted like a show.

Zhan Zhao was looking pretty in this dress, and at this moment, he walked towards Bai Yutang even more aggressively, raised Bai Yutang's clean chin with his slender fingers, and said teasingly, "Where is this beauty from, why don't you hurry up and obey me."

Ordinary people dare to treat Bai Yutang like this, not to mention that they don't want this finger, they even have to keep their lives.

Both Yang Chizhang and Gongsun Ce looked at Zhan Zhao with admiration, for fear that Bai Yutang's shadow would come out of the sheath and Zhan Zhao would be turned into a sieve.

However, Bai Yutang unexpectedly did not get angry, and instead cooperated with Zhan Zhao: "My lord, you don't wear a giant que and an official uniform, do you think others don't know you?"

Zhan Zhao:. . . . . .

Not only does Zhan Zhao patrol the streets every day, but he is also bestowed the title of "Royal Cat" by the emperor. He is handsome and has a cheerful personality. No one in Kaifeng city knows him.

Zhan Zhao went back to change in desperation.

Bai Yutang KO'd Zhan Zhao with one move, he was in a good mood, and continued to drink tea leisurely.

Seeing this, Gongsun Ce was a little hesitant, wondering if he should also change back to his usual clothes.

Yang Chizhang understood Gongsun's expression, and persuaded him, "You usually stay in Kaifeng Mansion, and you don't know much about people outside, let alone the Flower Garden. Besides, this suit suits you very well." , well dressed."

Although Yang Chizhang hadn't known Gongsun for long, he had keenly discovered his house attributes, and he liked to tinker in the herb room whenever he was free, and seldom went out.

Moreover, Gongsun Ce was originally a literati, so at this moment, he pretended to be a romantic and talented man more than Zhan Zhao.Sure enough, people want clothes and Buddhas want gold clothes. With such a dress, Gongsun Ce is even more zhilanyushu and personable, and Yang Chizhang's boast is very conscientious.

Gongsun Ce, relieved, went out with Zhan Zhao, who had changed his clothes.

The two who only wanted to investigate the case and had never been to a brothel did not expect what kind of chaos would follow.

Bai Yutang, who was still waiting in the Kaifeng mansion, was a little worried: "This cat has a thin skin, don't mess it up if Hua Niang teases her."

Immediately I also remembered that Gongsun Ce is also a thin-skinned Yang Chizhang:. . . . . .
