I am imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion

After the mummy case came out from the kiln, the common people thought it was bad luck, and no one was willing to buy things burned out of the kiln.The owner of the kiln factory wanted to sell the kiln factory at a low price, but no one was willing to take over after two or three months.

Now the kiln factory has lost money and has been closed for several months. The boss is unable to make ends meet, so he sold the house in order to pay off the debt.Taoist Wuyou took pity on him for his difficult livelihood, and he asked him to provide bricks and tiles for the Sanqing Temple just as it was expanding.

"These days, there are probably only Taoist temples and temples where people don't taboo about death." Li Yuan sighed, "He is really unlucky, he didn't do anything wrong, but because someone else committed a crime and buried his body in his place, he didn't die. livelihood."

"Since that's the case, why did Sun Zhixiao go to this kiln factory?" Wang Zhao asked Li Yuan not to stray, and hurriedly talked about the main points related to the case.

"His cousin works in a kiln factory. I went to find his cousin and gave him a meal. But it was neither early nor late. It was just a cousin. It seemed strange to send meals specially. I ordered people to watch Looking at Sun Zhixiao’s cousin, I saw him walking away from the back of the kiln in a short while, and returned to Bianjing with the food box that Sun Zhixiao gave him. This time we caught him! Guess whose house he went to ?”

Wang Zhao urged him not to be tricky.

Li Yuan: "He went to Shangshu Mansion, Lin Shangshu's home!"

If Sun Zhixiao is from Lin Shangshu, does that mean that Lin Shangshu has something to do with Tianji Pavilion?

After Su Yuwan's accident, it was Lin Shangshu who took the lead in destroying Di Zang Pavilion.On the surface, it seemed to be extermination, but in fact, troops were sent out hastily and perfunctorily, and no useful people or things were captured.Afterwards, whenever the Kaifeng Mansion encountered anything related to the Tianji Pavilion, Lin Shangshu would always obstruct it with various reasons.Even though he had been at odds with the Kaifeng Mansion before, he seemed to be especially targeted at the matter of the Tianji Pavilion.

It's not unusual for Lin Shangshu to be picked out, and there is even a feeling of "as expected".

After going around and around, there is still no conclusive evidence pointing to Zhao Zongqing, at most it progresses from 'suspect' to 'a greater degree of suspicion'.

But this just shows that Zhao Zongqing is very likely to be the most powerful person behind the scenes, and it is too easy to reveal, but something is wrong.

The two of them sorted out the situation of Zhao Zongqing that they had investigated so far.

Zhao Zongqing was the youngest son of Zhao Yunsheng, Duke of Yan'an County, and the grandson of Zhao Yuanzuo, king of Chu.His mother, Mrs. Su, was the concubine of the Duke of Yan'an, and the daughter of a family member who was in charge of the family.

Zhao Zongqing has been raised under the name of his aunt since he was seven years old. He has been as smart as an adult since he was a child.Later, the wife of the county princess suffered from a chronic illness, and the young and talented Zhao Zongqing became a monk and devoted himself to praying for his aunt. to date.

There are said to be two reasons why he chose to go to the Taoist temple in Shenzhou to become a monk. One is because the wife of the county princess was born in Shenzhou;

The situation of Han Zong was used as a lesson for the past, so a key investigation was carried out on the life experience of Zhao Zongqing's biological mother.Zhao Zongqing's biological mother is Su Cuizhi, a native of Yongzhou. Su Cuizhi's father, Su Guangde, has lived in Yongzhou for generations.Su Guangde has been a member of the Gongmen since his great-grandfather's generation, and he has held official positions such as county master book and county magistrate.When Su Guangde came here, he had the ambition to climb up, so Su Guangde took the opportunity to send his daughter Su Cuizhi to the Duke of Yan'an as a concubine.It is said that because of this, Su Guangde finally got a seventh-rank official position in Bianjing.

Su Guangde's wife, Mrs. Liu, came from a merchant background. At that time, the Liu family ran a well-known restaurant in Yongzhou and often dealt with officials and nobles.It was also through the Liu family that Su Guangde had the opportunity to get acquainted with the Duke of Yan'an.Later, the Liu family's business grew bigger and bigger, so they opened a restaurant in Bianjing.After more than ten years of operation, this restaurant has become well-known, and it is the Guangxian Building most frequently visited by officials and dignitaries in Beijing.

"It's no wonder that Zhao Zongqing likes to invite people to Guangxian Building, so can the problem be found in Guangxian Building?"

"No doubts have been found so far." Han Qi had placed manpower in Guangxian Building as early as two months ago.

"I remember that the official family once watched women's sumo wrestling, and it was in Guangxian Building. Opening such a restaurant will definitely make friends with many officials in Beijing and China."

Han Qi agreed, his eyes lit up suddenly when he saw Cui Tao sighing, thinking that she was envious of him opening a restaurant.

"If you open one, you won't have the reputation of Guangxian Building."

Cui Tao said embarrassedly: "I don't envy this, I can't help but think of Chef Fang's crisp yellow independence from Guangxian Tower."

Han Qi then sent someone to inform Cook Fang to prepare the meal.

It will take some time to wait for the meal, so Cui Tao continues to read the situation of the Liu family first.

Su Cuizhi's maternal grandfather is Liu Xiqing. He came to Yongzhou from Qiantang, Hangzhou to work hard at the age of 17. From running a roadside tea stall to a stewed meat shop, he gradually expanded his business. In his later years, he opened a restaurant. In Liu Zhou's generation, Guangxian Building was built.

Liu Xiqing's household registration in Qiantang, Hangzhou can be traced, basically there is no problem. The only thing that raises doubts is Liu Xiqing's original wife, Mrs. Zhang. There is only a vague theory about Mrs. Zhang's origin, saying that she is an orphan from the south.Liu Xiqing and Zhang had only one daughter, and Zhang died of illness in the third year of their marriage. Their eldest daughter, Liu, was brought up and married Su Guangde.

Liu Xiqing died three years after the death of his wife. He and his step-wife had three sons. Except for the eldest son, the remaining two sons were killed in the army.Liu Zhou, the current boss of Guangxian Building, is the eldest grandson of Liu Xiqing.

After Liu married Su Guangde, they had a son and a daughter. The eldest son died when he was eight years old. The daughter was Su Cuizhi, who was assigned to the Duke of Yan'an as a concubine and gave birth to Zhao Zongqing.

"Su Guangde only has one daughter, Su Cuizhi?" Cui Tao asked Han Qi.

Han Qi nodded.

"There is only one single daughter. Instead of keeping her at home to pamper and love her, or letting her be proud as a wife, I send her to the Duke of Yan'an as a concubine. I can't bear to let her be wronged? He said he was ambitious, but he didn't." What's the point of earning face in the official career like this?"

"Su Guangde adopted a son from his brother."

"After all, it's not my own. How can I ask my own daughter to recruit a son-in-law?"

Cui Tao listed all the relationships of the characters on the paper, starting from the Zhang family, to the Liu family, then to the Su family, and finally to Zhao Zongqing, which happened to be in the same line.

You might as well make a bold guess, will Mrs. Liu be the "Pearl" on the cave murals?Su Cuizhi is after the 'Pearl'?Zhao Zongqing is the real young master, and the entire Tianji Pavilion and Dizang Pavilion are loyal to him.

After such deliberation, it is more likely that Zhao Zongqing killed Su Yuwan.Only when the real young master kills Su Yuwan will the red clothes beside Su Yuwan obediently obey orders and continue to target Kaifeng Mansion instead of seeking revenge on the real murderer of Su Yuwan.

Su Yuwan's talent is extraordinary, even if she made a mistake, it is not without a chance to redeem her, why would Zhao Zongqing be willing to kill her?When Su Yuwan fell, the entire Dizang Pavilion collapsed.Unexpectedly, Kaifeng Mansion wiped out Tianji Pavilion suddenly, which shocked many people. Was Zhao Zongqing's reaction a little too quiet?Although they sent Chunli out, it was only for Cui Tao's fake death.If they want to take revenge against the Kaifeng Mansion for destroying the Tianji Pavilion, it should be more than just this little trick.

"Perhaps he is scheming, and the real big move has not yet been revealed. The current situation is just the tranquility before the rainstorm."

Cui Tao asked Han Qi if he would be apprehensive and afraid because of this, maybe one day the enemy hiding in the dark would make a sudden move and kill everyone.

"Small fish swim and spit mud, not knowing that the big fish is behind them; big fish swoop their tails to eat the small fish, not knowing that they are in the net."

Cui Tao had something to ask, and it happened that Zhang Chang brought the food, but when he saw the steaming dishes on the table, he put aside all the things he was not in a hurry to say.You can talk about it later, but the food will be cold later.

There is crucian carp soup for dinner, the soup is white and fragrant, and a few pieces of green coriander leaves are floating on it. It is not easy to see such bright green in winter.

Han Qi served a bowl of fish soup for Cui Tao, and added a piece of crispy yellow dumplings that she wanted to eat, as well as chicken wings from white fried chicken, a piece of clear venison, and was afraid that she would get tired of eating only meat, so I added some more at the end. A piece of Chinese cabbage heart steamed in chicken broth.

Cui Tao took a bite of the crunchy and crispy Huangdu, and then took a mouthful of crucian carp soup. A little image.

After eating and drinking, and wiping his mouth, Cui Tao asked Han Qi if he was the one who cast the net to catch the fish.

"What do you say?"

"I said—"Of course it's you!

Before he could finish speaking, he heard hurried footsteps outside the door, and then heard Hu's questioning voice.

Cui Tao followed the mouse who had seen the cat, got up and jumped, and was about to run to the back window, obviously planning to jump out of the window and escape.

Han Qi grabbed Cui Tao's arm, "What are you going to do?"

"Lonely men and widows live in the same room, and the elders must not let the elders catch them."

"She doesn't know if you're not here?"

Cui Tao thinks about it too. When she was an ugly child, she shared a room with Han Qi countless times.

"She is not an old-fashioned person. Besides, you are making sacrifices for the stability of the Song Dynasty. It is not shameful. Whoever dares to scold you, I will scold whoever."

It sounds really cool for this elegant man to say that he wants to swear.

Fortunately, the folk customs at this time were fairly open, the two of them had already been engaged, and it was for business, and "Mulan joined the army" was praised first, so it would not be too off-putting.

But if there is no difficulty, you have to create difficulty, just ask.

"Then if Mrs. Hu really doesn't like her and scolds me, what will you do?"

This question is no less than 'Who should be rescued first when the wife and mother fall into the water', and it is a proper proposition.Even Tanhualang, who is full of knowledge and knowledge, is afraid that he will be stumped by this kind of "eternal problem", right?

"You're important." Han Qi didn't have a mean and muddle-headed attitude, but he did what he said, and stood by Cui Tao's side without hesitation.

Cui Tao was surprised, and half-jokingly said that Han Qi was an unfilial son, and this unfilial son would be convicted in Song Dynasty, "Do you really dare to scold him?"

"Well, scolding my mother has taught an unfilial son, and when I have a daughter-in-law, I forget my mother."

Cui Tao chuckled, "Ah, after all, it's still my fault? But I like this answer. Don't worry, Liu Lang's future wife will love Liu Lang and will not make Liu Lang an unfilial son."

"I know." Han Qi agreed.

"So what Liu Lang said before was to coax me?"

"Does your previous assumption not exist at all?"

Cui Tao and Han Qi looked at each other and smiled in unison.

The two welcomed Mrs. Hu into the house together.

Seeing Cui Tao, Mrs. Hu grabbed her with both hands, looked at Cui Tao carefully, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's all my fault. I didn't think well enough. I actually made a good idea at this time and let a newcomer into the mansion, which almost killed your life! Fortunately, you are a clever girl who saw it in time, otherwise I—"

When Hu said that, his eyes were red, and he was so sad that he shed tears.

Cui Tao hurriedly coaxed Mrs. Hu to sit down, and told her not to be sad, "If you survive a catastrophe, you will have future blessings. The good days are coming."

"Yes, yes, it's all in the back." Wiping away tears, Hu said to Cui Tao, "My good boy, I have wronged you for so long. I said that when you treated me, you always felt that it was unusual, but you couldn't explain it clearly. For some reason, it seems very predestined, it turned out that we were destined to become mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."

"When I first saw Mrs. Hu being so beautiful, I thought that you must be my mother-in-law. It would be great if I could have a daughter who is as beautiful as Mrs. Hu."

Hu was so coaxed by Cui Tao that he couldn't stop laughing from ear to ear, there were no tears left, "What are you doing like me, just be like you two."

No matter how old a woman is, she actually likes others to praise her for her beauty. A woman of Hu's age is looking forward to the next generation, and Cui Tao's words are just flattering in her heart.Regardless of whether these words were coaxing her or not, she was delighted when she heard it, very, very happy!

Mrs. Hu glanced at Han Qi who was standing quietly by the side, grabbed Cui Tao's hand and sighed: "I am happier seeing you than hearing that he is in high school. We will get married soon when we are free. I can't wait." I want you to come in quickly."

Cui Tao smiled and agreed, but in fact, she couldn't wait any longer and wanted to take advantage of the handsome man.

Han Qi thought that Cui Tao was trying to curry favor with the Hu family for himself, and secretly vowed in his heart that he would love Cui Tao even more in the future.

……

The next day, Cui Taoguan returned to his original post and was going to be on duty in Kaifeng Mansion early in the morning.

Unfortunately, she didn't go far when she went out, and met Mo Zhuiyu who lived with her in Plum Blossom Lane at the entrance of the alley.

Pinger and Wang Siniang never noticed that the Mo family brothers had settled in Plum Blossom Lane for so long before.Now that Cui Tao has only come back to stay for the first day, Mo Zhuiyu shows up on purpose.Obviously this is not a chance encounter, but a deliberate arrangement, and it can even be said to have a threatening meaning.

"Miss Cui, so you also live in this alley? I heard that you came back from the dead, congratulations!" Mo Zhuiyu was dressed in white, and the corners of his robe were blown flying by the cold wind.

"Why don't you wear more clothes? It's okay to put on white fox fur. The family is so rich, so it's not enough?" Cui Tao felt cold when she saw him, and asked Mo Zhuiyu in the tone of an old mother admonishing her son.
