Man in the Heavens: Rewarding the Good and Punishing the Evil

The two slowed down when they set off again. Chen Chong watched while walking, stopping his horse from time to time to observe the rocks on both sides of the road and compare them with the pictures in his memory.

After walking for a stick of incense, he finally found the place in his memory amidst a pile of rocks.

"Call-"

Reining in the horse and looking at the open space the size of a football field in front of him, Chen Chong was very sure: "This is it."

Jianning looked around and asked strangely, "Is there a dragon vein here? It doesn't seem to be different?"

The man pointed to the ground and asked, "Didn't you notice that the plants here are a little listless?"

The girl's heart moved, and she carefully observed the surrounding vegetation.

I saw that there are very few big trees here, even if there are a few, the leaves are sparse, half yellow and not withered.

And the shrubs that should have grown wildly, compared with the ones I saw when I came all the way before, are also extraordinarily thin.

And on the ground, not even the grass grows very much, and there are bare ground everywhere, like a ghost shaving his head.

Looking at the weird scene in front of her, she asked her doubts: "Why is this happening?"

Chen Chong said confidently: "Look here, the flowers, plants and trees don't grow well, right? The land around here must be a thin layer of soil after the underground palace was capped.

And if it was ordinary soil, and if it was a bit thick, these plants would never have shrunk like this, probably because there was something mixed into the soil. "

After that, he took out his spear and slammed it into the ground.

The spear was more than two feet into the ground, and when it was pulled out again, the tip of the spear was already stained with white.

Chen Chong squeezed some of the white substance, took it to his nose and sniffed it, his face revealed a clear expression.

He handed the gun to the girl's hand, and said with a smile, "I guessed correctly, there is indeed something underground."

Jianning also learned to twist a little bit, but he still didn't understand after smelling it, so he said, "Brother Chong, what is this?"

"lime."

Chen Chong said: "After they sealed the roof of the underground palace, they sealed another layer with lime."

He tapped the ground with his toes and smiled slightly: "It seems that we have found the right place."

Chapter 65 064. Rumor

When Chen Chong and Jian Ning arrived at the imperial mausoleum in the eastern suburbs, A Ke was also walking towards the Lichun Courtyard.

There were a lot of people in the inner city, and the streets were crowded with children from the Eight Banners and wealthy businessmen, so it was naturally impossible for her to gallop on horseback.

Fortunately, Chen Chong left her a lot of money, so A Ke hired a big car and took a leisurely tour of the city.

Of course, it's not that A Ke wants to show off the style of the lady, but that she has never been to the capital, and she doesn't know the location of Lichun Courtyard. If she doesn't hire a car, she will have to ask all the way there.

Lichun Courtyard is outside Xuanwu Gate, go out of Chengmenguan and walk along the street, turn in Caochang Hutong, and you can see Lichun Courtyard when you see the sign of Yuhuang Temple.

A Ke got into the car and told the coachman not to go near Xuanwumen, but to walk around the east city, and go out of the inner city through Chongwenmen.

Although it takes a lot of time to walk like this, it is not without benefits. After all, Dongcheng has a complicated population, and there are many people coming and going, which is more conducive to her hiding.And she is also willing to take a detour so that she can see more of the scenery of the capital.

The brothel is not a tea shop, and it won't open if you go early anyway, so she is not in a hurry.

The cart stopped and went all the way, and by the time the theater was about to open, she had already bought a lot of food, drink and playthings.

A Ke is very willing to accept Chen Chong's words. Since Brother Chong said to buy more things he likes, he is right.

Autumn in the Northland is a bit dry and hot. The girl raised the curtains on the car, and the breeze poured into the car along the window, which made her feel less depressed.

After walking more than half of the city, I also saw people coming and going all the way, and A Ke was already tired of the hawking and shouting on the street.

As the weather gradually heated up, the syrup on the candied haws in her hand softened quietly and flowed down the bamboo stick to the girl's hand. She woke up with a start, and quickly stretched out her tongue to lick off the sugar stains on her hands.

Although this bunch of candied haws is made of a few hawthorns and a little caramel, it is not cheap.

Most of the sugar in this era comes from sweet potatoes and corn, which are brewed with malt.

In the era of lack of food, the luxury of "sweetness" is naturally of great value.

A Ke has never been hungry since she was a child, but she hasn't lived a good life either. Jiu Nan didn't want to see her, so naturally she wouldn't give her pocket money so that she could buy snacks.

Even now that she has a few golden beans and dozens of broken silver cars in her arms, she still maintains the habit of frugality due to her poor life since she was a child.

Although it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, girls do not have this trend yet.

The caramel melted in her mouth, she bit down another hawthorn, the small bright red wild fruit flashed through the white teeth, and then she saw the girl chewing lightly with her mouth shut, then her red lips parted slightly, spit out black seeds one by one.

Eating four candied haws like a hamster, the girl threw a bamboo stick out the window, picked up the teapot beside her, and poured herself a cup of warm tea.

As soon as he picked up the teacup, suddenly there was a loud gong not far away, and then he heard a man let go of his voice and roared loudly.

"Block Obai's mansion, and no one of the soldiers in the mansion can get away!"

Are you near Aobai's house?

What happened?

A Ke was slightly taken aback, then picked up the stick and rang the bell on the roof of the carriage: "Pull over."

"Call-"

The coachman stopped the carriage and flatteringly asked, "Master, what are your orders?"

He couldn't help flattering, life in the capital was hard, and he managed to find a rich man, so of course he had to serve him wholeheartedly.

This young man is generous, the first reward is enough for him to work for a day, if the service is comfortable, can he still be stingy later?

A Ke didn't know about Xiao Jiujiu, the driver of the carriage. She just followed Chen Chong's orders, and she acted generously so as not to be timid.

She cleared her throat, stretched out two fingers to press her throat, and made her voice a little rough: "Go and ask, what happened to Mr. Ao's house?"

"okay!"

The coachman replied, tied up the reins, and finally squeezed into the crowd of onlookers.

"Excuse me."

He touched the man in sackcloth in front of him, and asked with a smile on his face, "My lord, can you scan and listen, why are those military lords surrounding this place? What happened?"

The man in sackcloth came earlier, he looked like an ordinary citizen in his clothes, otherwise the driver would not have dared to reach out.

Seeing someone asking him a question, the man in sackcloth smiled and said mysteriously, "What's the matter? It's a big deal!"
