September is full of flowers

The next day, the sky was about to get dark, but someone had already knocked on the door.

Shen Man had a sleepless night, and when he heard the knock on the door, he immediately answered the door.When I opened the door, I saw a few government servants in soap clothes holding lanterns around the gate of the small courtyard, Xie Fan, the Prime Minister of Ducheng County, stood in the alley with his hands folded.Seeing Shen Man, he greeted him with a dry smile, "Miss Tang, please accompany me to the Weather Gate with Miss Ling."

Shen Man asked sleepily, "What happened to the weather gate?"

Xie Fan said wearily, "This case has alarmed the emperor. The emperor has given us three days to find out the truth. Otherwise, the officials will not only lose their hair, but also don't even want to keep their heads on their shoulders. Time is urgent. Since this The corpse cauldron was dug out from the ground of the weather gate, so naturally we have to start from the weather gate."

He then peeked into the door, "The matter is really urgent, and I would like to ask the two girls to accompany the officer on a quick walk."

Shen Man asked Xie Fan to wait for a while, and then went back to find Tang Jiuyue.

But he never thought that just a few steps in, he saw Tang Jiuyue standing in the courtyard wearing a thick white fox fur cloak.His eyes, as silent as water, stared at her quietly.

Shen Man showed a smile before he knew it, "So you're already up, Mr. Xie Fan is waiting for us outside, and said to go to the weather gate to investigate the case."

Tang Jiuyue walked towards her, stopped in front of Shen Man, reached out and gently tied the cloak for her while Shen Man was stunned, then patted the dead leaves that fell on her shoulders, and said indifferently, "Girl, no matter what You should always pay attention to your appearance, especially in front of outsiders."

Shen Man had just smelled the fragrance from her body, and the flag of righteousness was waving, and after listening to her exhortation, his heart was very warm.She nodded with a smile, and immediately followed Tang Jiuyue out.

Xie Fan was very careful, he had already prepared a sedan chair outside the door, the two of them took the same sedan chair, it was freezing outside, but inside the sedan chair was warmed by an exquisite stove.Not long after, they arrived at the mansion of Tang Huiyuan, the meteorological sect.

Going in with Xie Fan, Tang Huiyuan seemed to have just gotten up, put on a cloak and held a hand stove and came.

Strangely, he didn't pay much attention to Tang Jiuyue who showed her true face, and focused all her attention on the corpse cauldron from his field in the weather gate.

Tang Huiyuan frowned and thought carefully, "Actually, this land has only just come into the hands of my Weather Sect. It is not so much related to my Weather Sect, but more closely related to the former owner of this land."

Xie Fan glanced at Tang Jiuyue, and then continued to ask, "I don't know who the former owner is?" He was afraid that he would have an inseparable relationship with the people in the Yin Yang Prison, and Xie Fan knew the methods of this group of people. Unpopular, but after all, he is still a prisoner of Yin and Yang.The person sitting in the middle of the Taige is not a troublesome character, he is notoriously protective, if he touches Tang Huiyuan, he may be overwhelmed and walk away.Now that there are other clues, it is naturally better.

Tang Huiyuan said slowly, "The former owner of this land is actually Zhou Gai."

"What?!" Xie Fan almost fell off his chair, "You're talking about the current Shang Shu Ling Zhou Gai Zhou?!"

Tang Huiyuan nodded, "That's him. The thing is, Zhou Gai has a daughter named Zhou Ting, who fell in love with my son, and we agreed on a marriage, so this piece of land outside the city became Zhou Ting's dowry One of them was given to our family. I looked at this piece of land as useless, so I donated it to the Meteorological Gate as one of the meteorological observation sites.”

Xie Fan was one head and two elders, and thought to himself that the supervisor of Tang Sect was really a model of conscientiousness, even the dowry of his children and in-laws could be used for public use.This is a good move, he thought he could get away with it, but he didn't expect to involve a more annoying person - the current Shangshuling Zhou Gai.This Zhou Gai was capable of both literature and martial arts, and even had a bit of yin and yang attainments. He had accompanied the emperor through life and death, won several battles, and won the emperor's trust.Because of his high merits, he has a bad temper.In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, except for the emperor who could reprimand him a few words, almost no one could resist him.

Therefore, Xie Fan had a real headache when this case finally got divorced from the Weather Gate but involved in the Shang Shu's House.He thought that instead of messing with Zhou Gai, it would be better to continue dealing with Tang Huiyuan.

"May I ask if the supervisor of the Tang gate knows how long this land has been in the hands of the Zhou family?"

Tang Huiyuan closed his eyes and thought about it, then opened his eyes and said, "This piece of land was given to Mr. Zhou when he was rewarded. It must have been ten years ago."

Xie Fan felt strange, "This piece of land is not big, and it's in the suburbs, how could the emperor give Mr. Zhou such a lonely piece of land?"

Tang Huiyuan glanced behind him, stared at a person and asked with a smile, "I see this little girl in green is calm and relaxed, and she is probably a candidate for this big exam by looking at her clothes, why don't we let her analyze it and see what she thinks? "

Shen Man thought that he was indeed the uncle of Tang Damen Supervisor. Although he usually looked smiling, his brains turned very fast.He refused to say such an inference that offended people and might involve court affairs, but wanted to tell the truth through his own mouth, which can be said to be treacherous.

After receiving Tang Jiuyue's hint, Shen Man was not humble, and analyzed in a loud voice, "The land is small, but the soil is soft, it is near the pool, and there is a locust tree planted nearby, facing the southwest, with luxuriant branches and leaves. The rare geomantic 'eye'. We usually refer to 'fengshui treasure land', but we don't know that the reason why this piece of land can ward off disasters for the owner lies in the 'precious eye'. The closer the place is to the 'precious eye', the more Auspicious. In fact, the land outside the weather gate is good land, but the essence is only in this small piece of land that Mr. Zhou gave to the supervisor of the Tang gate."

When Shen Man said this, thoughts quickly surged in his heart.

I don't know if this corpse tripod has anything to do with Zhou Gai, if not, it's fine.If he had a relationship and gave such a piece of land to his in-laws, he would be a little too courageous.Or they are too confident, thinking that no one can discover the secret of this corpse cauldron.As the saying goes, "the most dangerous place is also the safest place", I believe that no one will suspect that this piece of land was originally a gift from the imperial court, later used as a dowry, and finally became a field of the weather gate.

Seeing Shen Man's sudden silence, Xie Fan couldn't help it, and whispered, "Miss Tang?"

Tang Huiyuan leaned forward slightly, and repeated with great interest, "Miss Tang? Is your surname Tang too?"

Shen Man returned to his senses, raised his head and said with a smile, "Well, it happens to have the same surname as Mr. Tang."

Tang Jiuyue, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interrupted, "When did Young Master Tang and Miss Zhou get married?"

"More than a year." When Tang Huiyuan was mentioned, Tang Huiyuan's expression seemed to loosen for a moment, and a sadness flashed in his eyes.Turning his eyes to Tang Jiuyue, his dry smiling eyes suddenly became dull.

"The corpse cauldron seems to have been hidden in the ground for some years. Since the supervisor of the Tang gate only recently acquired this place, it is unlikely to know about it." Tang Jiuyue seemed to want to excuse Tang Huiyuan and explain to everyone for him.

Then she turned her head and said to Xie Fan, "It seems that if we want to find out the truth, we have to go to Lord Zhou Shangshu to ask him what happened."

Xie Fan was in a dilemma, but Shen Man also agreed, "It seems that we are indeed going to visit the Shangshu Mansion."

So Xie Fan looked at the two "Miss Tang" who kept saying that they were going to find Zhou Shang Shuling, and felt that he was really out of luck.

Xie Fan knew that his going was really a disaster, so he died. "In that case, let's take my leave first." He lowered his head weakly, looking hopeless.

When the sedan chair passed by Ye's mansion, Shen Man opened the curtains, and sure enough, he saw a familiar figure at the alley.

"Ding Feng is such a persistent kid. If Concubine Li had followed him back then, perhaps the situation would be quite different now."

Tang Jiuyue suddenly said, "Five."

"Ah?" Shen Man was taken aback.

Tang Jiuyue bowed her head and did some calculations again, and pondered, "If Ye Tiantian marries Ding Feng, they should be able to have five children, three boys and two girls, one of the sons will die young, but the other two daughters may have some achievements."

Shen Man raised his forehead, "What time is it, you still care about how many other people will have children..."

Then Shen Man leaned comfortably in the sedan chair and lowered the curtains.Thinking of Concubine Li's unlucky beauty, and Concubine Ning Guifei's expression when she learned the truth about Concubine Li's death...

I don't know if Concubine Ning Gui at this moment has put this unknown Ye Tiantian in her heart.Compared with Ding Feng's unrequited love, she still feels that the friendship between these two people is even more regrettable.

As soon as we got out of the sedan chair, it started to snow.

The heavy snow like goose feathers fell on the shoulders and hair, and the whole street was plunged into a vast expanse of whiteness.

Shen Man turned his head to look at Tang Jiuyue, and burst into a "puchi" laugh, "Miss Tang, you must not be silent today, because I'm afraid that if you stand in the snow with your body alone, others will really not be able to see you."

Tang Jiuyue's face was sullen, because Xie Fan was about to step on her snow-white boots, she took two steps back and looked up at Zhou Gai's mansion. At first glance, it was a nouveau riche, with golden plaques on the door.The gate is pasted with platinum, and even the lion at the gate is painted with gold. It looks even more fierce, and its size is more than double that of other people's houses.

Tang Jiuyue pointed Shen Mandao, "As the saying goes, reading characters is like reading people, but in fact, you can also see the master's habits by looking at the facade. What do you see from Mr. Zhou's facade?"

Shen Man thought for a moment, then resolutely said with twinkling eyes, "Master Zhou is rich."

Tang Jiuyue was silent.

Shen Man continued to nod and said, "Master Zhou is very rich."

Tang Jiuyue put down her robe and walked inside.Xie Fan hurriedly went up to knock on the door, and handed over the card.The gatekeeper originally refused to let them in, but Tang Jiuyue showed the Taige's house number again, so the gatekeeper immediately changed his face, but after all the reasoning, only Shen Man and the other three were allowed in.

Tang Jiuyue stepped into the front yard of the Zhou Mansion, looked at a large cauldron placed in the middle, and her eyes sank.

"Now there's a play to watch."
