[Bao Qingtian] Why is peace?

If you want to know who is the one who borrowed Master Ding's identity and murdered people, the best way is to wait and see.

Pang Yu and Bai Yutang made up their minds, pretended to come back from a visit to the back garden of the Ding Mansion, left in full view, and returned quietly after a while, hiding on the beam of the Ding Mansion's study.

Today is the last day of Mr. Ding's coffin. Tomorrow, he will be nailed into the coffin and buried. There will be no need for that mold anymore.

The waiting time is always excruciating. This is the first time for Pang Yu to do this kind of thing. There is a lot of dust on the beam, and moving it can create a cloud of cloudy air, causing him to sneeze several times.

Then, the stomach let out a "grunt -" sound without disappointment.

Bai Yutang laughed softly, as if he had expected it long ago, took out a steamed bun from his bosom, and handed it to him: "Here, let's fill your stomach first, and treat you to something delicious later."

This is still a white flour steamed bun, squeezed into the shape of a white and fat rabbit, and then ordered two round rabbit eyes with bayberry juice, which looks really cute.

Pang Yu took the rabbit steamed bun with a tangled expression. Isn't this something for coaxing children? He still remembered that Taishi Pang bought it for him during the Lantern Festival, but it was all before he was seven years old!

"Why, you don't want to eat it?" Seeing him staring at the steamed buns, Bai Yutang thought he was reluctant to eat them, so he simply took Pang Yu's hand and bit off the rabbit's tail.

"You!" Pang Yu looked at the rabbit without the small round tail with a bit of distress, but because his stomach was empty, he really couldn't hold it anymore. He closed his eyes, pretended that this was an ordinary steamed bun, and swallowed it into his stomach inside.

Bai Yutang watched him eat with a smile, and suddenly his face changed slightly, signaling to Pang Yu to move less.

Pang Yu swallowed the last mouthful of steamed buns with a "gudong", and lay down tacitly, barely moving.

After a while, there was a soft unlocking sound, and then a figure walked into the room.

Because of the dim moonlight, the man didn't light a lamp, and they couldn't see the man's face clearly from the beams of the house. They could only vaguely see that the man went directly to the place with a hidden grid. He seemed to be very familiar with the way, and it should be them. The person I was looking for.

Bai Yutang flipped down like a flying arrow, and rushed straight at the man, who was holding the box he took out from the hidden compartment, and when he heard the wind, he sensed something was wrong, and it was too late to drop the box and fight back, but Bai Yutang Hit the chest from the front.

"Ah—" Before he could yell, Pang Yu stretched out a hand from behind the man, tightly covered his mouth and nose, and did not forget to remove his jaw, so as not to commit suicide like the assassin last time .

When the two of them started a fire and were about to tie him back to the Kaifeng mansion, they were surprised to find that the person who came to pick up the mold late at night was actually a young lady!

"You, aren't you Master Ding's concubine!" Pang Yu said in shock.

Mr. Ding, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, knew his destiny. Except for one or two concubines in his early years, he has never added anyone to his backyard in the past ten years.Master Ding's original spouse was weak and sick, and many things in the house were handled by this concubine. She can be said to be an old man in Ding's house, and she has been with Master Ding for at least 20 years.

Even though she couldn't speak, the concubine still put on an expression that she had expected. She was not surprised when she saw the two of them, she just closed her eyes, no matter what they said, she would not cooperate.

Pang Yu glanced at Bai Yutang, and asked softly, "Is this another Mrs. Qin?"

"It's hard to say." Bai Yutang shrugged, thinking that it's no wonder that the imperial court is too weak to turn against it. No matter how capable a general is, if he meets one or two women like Mrs. Qin and the concubine of the Ding family, he will have to finish his game.

Fortunately, he likes small crabs, fortunately.

After the two captured the concubine, they left Ding's mansion again without anyone noticing, and brought the concubine back to Kaifeng mansion. Because this person was more important, it was inconvenient to put her anywhere, so Bai Yutang simply left her in the bag. An adult's bedroom.

Fortunately, Master Bao hadn't changed his clothes to go to sleep so late, and he was very calm when he saw two men in black descending from the sky. He slowly put down the scroll in his hand, patted his wrinkled sleeves, and then raised his head: "I don't know you two. Visiting late at night, what is the so-called..."

Seeing Bai Yutang and Pang Yuqiqi tear off the mask, Mr. Bao laughed: "So it was you, but Ding's family has gained something?"

Bai Yutang brought the concubine of the Ding Mansion to Bao Zheng, and Pang Yu briefly described the molds they found during the day, and the people who waited to be caught at night, and told their guesses.

Bao Zheng's original relaxed expression was gradually replaced by seriousness. He looked at the concubine who was on the ground with her eyes closed, and asked them: "Can you two have a way for her to answer the questions of the government?"

"You can give it a try." Bai Yutang pondered for a while, and repeated what he did to Huang Teng that day, so that the little concubine only had the strength to speak, but she couldn't even bite her tongue to kill herself.

The little concubine was so helpless by the itching all over her body after stimulating the acupoints, she had no choice but to open her eyes and look at the three people in the room with resentment.

"Who are you?" Master Bao asked.

"Concubine's name... Chuntao..." The concubine smiled weakly. Even though she was over thirty years old, she was still in good condition. The state of pity.

Her beautiful eyes swept across Pang Yu and Bai Yutang quickly, and finally landed on Bao Zheng, looking straight at him.

"Bold!" Mr. Bao's face darkened, and he said frankly, "This government is asking you something, don't use that enchanting technique! Let me ask you again, Chun Tao, who sent you here, and who is Ding Shangshu?" When was he killed?"

Chuntao saw that her appearance could not attract the slightest pity from these three people, especially Bao Zheng, the oldest among them, almost doubted her charm, she gritted her teeth and said, "Concubine... I don't know anything. "

"You can find the hidden compartment in the study room without using lights, which shows that you are very familiar with this place and have used this mold many times." Pang Yu said, "Although you have the power to take care of the backyard, you are still a concubine , It is not so easy to enter the important place of the study. There must be your accomplices in the Ding Mansion. As long as we return to the Ding Mansion at this time and see who is the most eager after you disappeared, we will know— —”

"No! I can't!" Chuntao suddenly interrupted Pang Yu's words like a frenzy. Her face showed horror, her lips trembled and said, "I said... I will tell you everything I can...but please don't go find him..."

Bao Zheng's face was serious: "I also ask Madam to explain the confusion for the family."

Chuntao smiled miserably: "What madam, I'm just a lowly person, an evil ghost in human skin..." Her eyes gradually drifted away, as if lost in memories.

More than 20 years ago, Chuntao was still a young girl. She visited Ding's mansion with her mother as a cousin of Master Ding. At that time, Master Ding already had a regular wife, but after five years of marriage, she still had no children. This made the Ding family very upset in a hurry.

Mrs. Ding saw that Mrs. Ding seemed to be somewhat pleased with her cousin, so she planned to make them have sex after drinking. Chuntao inexplicably lost her innocence and became pregnant with Mrs. Ding's child. She was so ashamed and angry, but Mrs. Ding listened Mrs. Ding said that she wanted to keep her hard-won child, so she persuaded Chuntao to marry her.

Chuntao married reluctantly, and finally gave birth to a child, but she didn't even feed the child with a mouthful of milk. Madam Ding snatched away the child she gave birth to in October, and warned Chuntao that she was just a little girl. Concubine, but this child has a chance to become Lord Ding's eldest son. If she is sensible, she should understand that silence is the best thing for the child.

So Chuntao could only bear to watch her own son call someone else's mother. Until ten years ago, the housekeeper of Ding's house told her that everything that happened back then was a conspiracy by Mrs. Ding.

Chuntao's heart, which was already riddled with holes, was suddenly filled with hatred, and she was determined to take revenge on Mrs. Ding.So while serving Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Ding in a humble manner, acting docile and harmless, she secretly poisoned Mrs. Ding's diet, making her slowly exhausted, gradually withered, and unable to get out of bed.At the same time, with the help of the housekeeper, she gradually took charge of the middle school in the mansion, which made it easier for her to attack secretly.

Finally one day, she met her own son, who quickly accepted her.She felt that all of this would be inseparable from the help of the housekeeper, so when the housekeeper asked her to help put Mr. Ding under house arrest and even take a model of his face, Chuntao agreed without a second word.

Seeing the haggard face of Master Ding who has been sleeping with him for decades and asking herself why she wanted to kill him, Chuntao felt no guilt, only joy.

It's just that no matter how much she hates her, she still doesn't want to involve her son.

She knew that there was something wrong with the butler, and it is very likely that the butler used the same method to cover herself with the butler's human skin mask, so she never let Young Master Ding participate in her actions. It's just that Young Master Ding is more sensitive. Convenience is provided.

Just like when he found out that his father was poisoned and died, he didn't bother to find out who did it. He just wanted to get his father's body back as soon as possible, because he guessed that Master Ding's death might have something to do with Chuntao.

Young Master Ding is a filial child, and also Chuntao's only weakness. She may not care about the life and death of everyone in the Ding House, but she cannot ignore Young Master Ding.

Finally, Chuntao pleaded: "I won't live long, please don't tell him the real cause of my death... I have told you everything I know... Ding Zhong's body was burned to the ground, but Those people once imprisoned him in the abandoned village outside the city, maybe they are still hiding there... Steward, I once overheard him talking with other people, it doesn't sound like the Song dialect..."

She tried her best to remember, even if she didn't understand the meaning, she still imitated a few words for the people present.

After she finished speaking, she couldn't pull up any more strength, closed her eyes and gasped for breath.

Bao Zheng changed his face first: "This... sounds like the language of the northern people."

What Master Bao said was quite conservative, and Pang Yu said more directly: "It's a bit like Khitan language, and it's very similar to what I heard when I was an envoy to Liao last time. Unfortunately, I can't understand it. It's best to find a meeting People who speak the Khitan language come."

Speaking of people who can speak the Khitan language, Pang Yu unconsciously thought of Zhang Hongzu. This man was almost guilty of murder because of the Khitan language. What happened to the two ladies of the Qin family.

Bai Yutang was a southerner who didn't know anything about the northern language, so he could only listen to their discussion quietly, and waited until he decided who to translate, before he said, "I'll go to the abandoned village outside the city to check it out tonight."
