I am imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion

Coincidentally, the Dizang Pavilion sub-helm is located not far from the Eight Immortals Tower, and it is the Sui Sanniang Fish Shop that is only two doors away from the Eight Immortals Tower.

There is no plaque in this carp shop, but there are two wooden shelves outside the shop, on which are hung all kinds of dried salted fish, the big one is as long as half a person, and the small one is only the size of a little finger.The fish on the two wooden shelves are arranged in descending order, because of the strong contrast, they can attract the eyes of passers-by.

Although the shop does not have a plaque, it is better than many others, and because her dried salted fish is cheaper than fresh fish and can be stored longer, there are many customers who visit every day, and the business is very good.

The owner, Sui Sanniang, is a 31-year-old widow with a round face and a slightly chubby figure.

According to Sibo He'an from Baxianlou, the salted fish used in Baxianlou's cooking is also bought from Sui Sanniang's house. .

In the early morning of Bianjing, there are many people coming and going on the street. Because the wealth index of the Song Dynasty is very high, it is the richest dynasty in the entire Chinese history, so the common people know how to enjoy it, and there are not a few people who do not cook breakfast.

Cui Tao brought Wang Siniang and Ping'er to the Eight Immortals Building to have breakfast with the flow of people, deliberately chose a seat by the window, and observed the situation of Sui Sanniang's fish shop by the way.The carp shop just opened at this moment, and there was no one there.When they came out of the Eight Immortals Building after eating, a morning breeze just blew and they could smell the smell of salted fish.

Cui Tao then went to the tea shop on the neighboring street, and met Han Qi and the others in the private room,

She specially called Li Cai over and asked him if he remembered the fight between them and the Dizang Pavilion assassin.

"Of course I remember, I will never forget it for the rest of my life. Thanks to Master's wit, he threw money all over the sky and saved my life." When Li Cai agreed, he did not forget to look at Cui Tao with admiration.

Cui Tao asked him if he smelled salted fish on those assassins.

Li Cai scratched his head, thought carefully for a while, and said to Cui Tao uncertainly: "I don't think so. If I smelled it, I must have said it at the time."

"I didn't smell it either." Cui Tao said, "Whether it's air-dried, grilled, or smoked, you can't escape the smell."

Li Cai pondered for a while, "What if you just stay there temporarily and don't participate in fish cooking?"

Li Cai didn't think those Jianghu assassins would have the leisure to make salted fish in their free time.

Cui Tao gave Li Cai an example, "We ate pot that day, did you feel that you smelled when you ate it?"

Li Cai shook his head.

"Are you finished?" Cui Tao asked again.

Li Cai didn't pay attention to this aspect.

Li Yuan hurriedly said that he smelled badly. As soon as he got home, his wife and children smelled it, and they all chased him and asked him what delicious food he had eaten.

Wang Zhao followed suit, and he also smelled it when changing clothes.

At that time, everyone just ate the pot for a while, and they were still outside, and they were all stained with the smell.If one lives temporarily in a shop where salted fish is made every day, it is impossible not to get smelly on one's body.

Wang Zhao nodded in agreement: "Ms. Cui is not worried. The smell of fish in the fish shop is unavoidable. Anyone who stays in that shop for a long time will get the smell on their body. Those assassins didn't have it on them. The girl in black who asked Mrs. Cui to meet at the Town God's Temple also didn't have it. Could it be that the news was false, and it wasn't this fish shop?"

"The assassin doesn't smell like fish, but it doesn't prove that this shop is okay." Han Qi calmly picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

Wang Zhao and others didn't understand what Han Tuiguan's sophisticated look meant, so they all looked at Cui Tao, hoping that she would explain to everyone as usual.

"Three layers of siege, Han Tuiguan's concerns are indeed right. If the news is reliable, it must have something to do with this squid shop. Either the assassins don't live here by chance, or this squid shop is connected to another place." After Cui Tao finished speaking, she immediately flattered Han Qi and praised Han Qi's "triple encirclement" move as extremely wise!

Wang Zhao and others suddenly realized that this salted fish shop was just a trick, and it was connected to another place through tunnels or other means.The assassins who come and go in this way only pass by the salted fish shop occasionally, as long as they don't stay for a long time, naturally they won't be contaminated with too much salted fish smell.

A while later, Zhang Chang rushed back from the outside and told Han Qi that he had inquired clearly about the houses adjacent to the fish shop.There is a tailor's shop on the left and a rouge and gouache shop on the right.The three adjacent shops in the back are on the street where everyone drinks tea now, and the "back to back" of the squid shop is a tea shop, the coffin shop is on the left, and the shop on the right is deserted.The shop seemed to be closed all year round, with a lot of weeds growing on the roof, and the door panels were nailed shut.There are also a lot of talisman papers pasted on the door panel, with red threads being pulled, some of the talisman papers are new and some are old.

"I know about that shop. The big case three years ago. The man killed a family of ten, not even letting his own children go." Li Yuan is an old man in Kaifeng Mansion, so he knows more about it.

Cui Tao asked Li Yuan to quickly talk about the specifics of this major case.

"It used to be a rouge shop. The business was very good. The man was honest and hardworking. He did all the cleaning and moving inside and outside the shop. But he couldn't do delicate things, such as making rouge powder. Businessmen are shrewd and not good at settling accounts, but women are very powerful. They can buy good materials outside, and the rouge they make is very popular among the young ladies in Bianjing.

When the business was good, there were not enough people in the shop, so the woman called her parents, brothers and sisters to help.A woman thinks that a man is not worth anything, and she always blames the man if she wants to do everything, and the woman's natal family also thinks he is incompetent, so the attitude towards him is not very good on weekdays, and they often say a few words about him.

However, people on and off the street have a good impression of the man, saying that he is honest and honest.But no one expected that on the night before the Chinese New Year three years ago, on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the man hacked the whole family to death at night.The neighbor heard the cry for help and came to see the situation. He saw a man holding a kitchen knife and standing in the yard covered in blood. When everyone shouted to report to the police, he ran back to the house and closed the doors and windows.By the time we got to the door and broke in, the man had already died hanging from the beam.

That scene... Whoops, I had nightmares for days! "

Li Yuan seemed to recall the scene back then, shivered, and patted his chest.

Han Qi had already read about this case from old files, so he was not curious.He stood by the window with his hands behind his back, quietly observing the three shops Zhang Chang mentioned.

"Did you see anything unusual?" Cui Tao came over and followed the three shops.

Han Qi turned his eyes and looked at Cui Tao, who was just a short distance away from him. He was wearing a blue beige, a halo skirt, and a double-snail bun decorated with emerald beads. Good looks, too attractive.

Han Qi stopped his gaze in time to avoid losing his mind.

"Both the coffin shop and the tea shop are open, so there doesn't seem to be anything unusual at the moment." Cui Tao withdrew her gaze and glanced at Han Qi, seeing that Han Qi was thinking about something with lowered eyes, she didn't say anything to disturb him.

Han Qi suddenly turned his head and asked Wang Zhao and others why Han Zong hadn't arrived yet.

Cui Tao: "..."

"It's time to arrive, maybe it's early in the morning, and people haven't woken up yet." Wang Zhao speculated.

Cui Tao echoed: "Yesterday was the festival, he drank again, maybe he got up late."

As soon as the words fell, Cui Tao met Han Qi's eyes.Cui Tao realized that she was talking too much, so she immediately turned around to pour tea, and brought it to Han Qi with a smile.

"Which one of the three shops do you think is problematic?" Cui Tao changed the subject.

"It seems that the empty shop where the murder happened is the most suspicious." When Han Qi received the tea, his fingertips slightly touched Cui Tao, but he quickly withdrew his hand holding the tea, and calmly brought the tea bowl to his mouth to drink Take a sip.

Cui Tao immediately praised Han Qi for his resourcefulness, careful thinking, and reasonable deduction.

Wang Zhao and others: "..."

Mrs. Cui's flattery is too obvious!

Could it be that she has something to ask Han to push the official?These ordinary people can also think of these things. After all, people in Dizang Pavilion usually go to Sanniang's fish shop when they go in and out, so it must be the vacant 'bad shop'. It is inconvenient to get in and out, so it is the most suspicious.

Han Qi looked at Cui Tao calmly, and then said: "In fact, the coffin shop is the most suspicious."

Wang Zhao and the others couldn't help pursing their lips and sniggering, as if Mrs. Cui's flattery had been slapped on a horse's hoof.But why the official Han Tui is more suspicious of the coffin shop is curious.

"I expected that Han Tuiguan would say that, so I expressed my admiration in advance!"

Cui Tao responded cleverly and echoed Han Qi's words.

"It's true that the vacant murder shop looks suspicious, but it's too obvious. It's like the fish shop is the trick, and the murder shop is more like the second trick.

In fact, the coffin shop is also inconvenient to get in and out of. After all, if there is no dead person, no one will patronize there. It is strange that people come and go every day.But it has one advantage. When necessary, it is okay for some people to come out occasionally, and it is not too eye-catching.But the murder shop is different. Everyone knows that it has been vacant for a long time, and someone who pops up suddenly must attract attention. "

Wang Zhao and others: "..."

The two co-authors knew in their hearts, why are they playing with these spectators?Fortunately, their ridicule just now was not very loud, otherwise they would appear embarrassing, superficial, and shameful now.

Besides, Han Zong got up late this morning because he was drunk and vomited last night.

He had just woken up and was being wiped by the servant girl when he heard from Zhuzhao that Han Qi had sent someone to invite him to the tea shop.

"What's the matter?"

"I didn't say it, but it's urgent, it should be urgent." Zhu Zhao replied.

Han Zong agreed and asked the servant girl to change his clothes. After dressing properly, he was ready to go to the place Han Qi invited.

The big maid, Chunli, hurriedly persuaded, "Erlang better not go, he vomited badly after eating too much sticky rice dumpling yesterday, and his face looks so bad today—"

"To shut up."

Chun Li immediately shut her mouth, bowed her head aggrievedly and did not dare to speak again, tears soon rolled in her eyes.Then Chunli raised her head when she heard Han Zong's footsteps leaving.All the maids hurriedly went to comfort Chunli, and whispered to her that Han Erlang had such a temper, was always moody, and didn't recognize kindness in people.

"In fact, he is the most kind-hearted, you just don't understand him." Chun Li smiled and thanked everyone for their comfort, "It's good that Erlang is out, we have some free time, I'll make fried rolls for you."

When Han Zong arrived at the tea shop, he saw that not only Han Qi and Cui Tao were in the private room, but also several government servants from Kaifeng Prefecture, so he became more and more sure that Han Qi's invitation today was unusual.

Seeing Cui Tao again after a night, Han Zong felt a little lost, an indescribably bitter taste spread in his heart, and even his stomach ached.

"I see that your complexion is not good, have you had breakfast?" Cui Tao observed that Han Zong's lips turned pale, and greeted him.

Han Qi followed and felt that his condition was not as good as before.

Han Zong shook his head, "It's rare that you asked me out, and you came before you had breakfast."

Han Qi said to Cui Tao: "You are familiar with all the porridge around here, which porridge is better, please go and buy a bowl for Han Erlang."

Cui Tao took orders immediately, and in a short time bought a bowl of corn porridge, plus a plate of crispy pickled radish, and two steamed soft yam buns.

Cui Tao added some honey to the corn porridge, and explained to Han Zong: "This not only nourishes the stomach, but also sobers up the hangover."

She actually remembered that he drank last night.

Han Zong's heart was filled with sourness and bitterness, and he had a lot of hatred and resentment, hating why things had developed to this point, and blaming himself for his negligence, which made things develop to this point.After thanking Cui Tao with a smile, he picked up the bowl and ate silently.He thought that if every morning in the future could be like today, with Cui Tao's careful instructions and the meals brought by her, then his life would not be in vain.Even if there is no reincarnation, he is willing to stop here.

After the meal, Han Zong's complexion finally improved, and he regained some of his old spirit.

"Brother Zhizhigui came to me today not just for tea, right? If you have something to say, it's okay."

At this moment, everyone in the room dispersed, Wang Zhao, Li Yuan and Li Cai all went outside, only Han Qi, Cui Tao and Han Zong were there.

"The Kaifeng Mansion is investigating an important case, and I would like to ask Zhongwen to take a look." Han Qi said.

"Me? I'm not from Kaifeng Mansion, so why did you bring me into the investigation?" Han Zong asked Han Qi suspiciously.

"Didn't Han Jianyi tell you?" Han Qi's voice remained calm.

Han Zong's father is now serving as a doctor of advice, and the Han Jianyi that Han Qi refers to refers to Han Zong's father.

"What?" Han Zong asked back.

"You want me to bring more of you," Han Qi explained to Han Zong, "Zhongwen Jinke High School will be arranged to be an official in Kaifeng Mansion soon, that's why Han Jianyi said that."

When Cui Tao heard this, he immediately went to observe Han Zong's reaction, and found that he was really surprised.It seems that he really didn't know about this matter, his father had already made a claim, but he didn't tell him.

Han Qi knew about his own affairs long ago, but he didn't, which made Han Zong immediately express his displeasure.

Seeing this, Cui Tao also understood very well, she would be angry with everyone, especially the person she knew was a 'other person's child' who had influenced Han Zong since he was a child.

However, will Han Zong really come to Kaifeng Mansion to work?It's going to be fun after that.

Han Qi took a sip of tea calmly, gave Han Zong time to calm down, and then explained clearly to Han Zong that the Kaifeng government was going to wipe out the Zang Pavilion branch today.

Cui Fu had been observing Han Zong's expression the whole time. He was surprised at first, but quickly covered it up.He smiled brightly, like the rising sun, marveling over and over again that Han Qi had actually found out the sub-helm of the Dizang Pavilion, and he thought he would make a great contribution again, so he wanted to congratulate him in advance.

Apparently, Han Zong has returned to the way he used to deal with people. His words make it impossible to tell the truth, and it is almost impossible to guess what he is thinking.However, since he can recover this state, it can also explain a problem. He doesn't seem to care much about the life and death of the Zangge sub-helm, otherwise he would not be able to control his state so perfectly.

If he really cares about her, Han Zong will be full of loopholes just like how he dealt with her yesterday.

But Cui Tao wasn't sure if Han Zong had expected it and informed those people in advance.But this possibility is very low, because since Han Qi dared to call Han Zong to come, he must have taken precautions in this regard.Cui Tao was even a little skeptical, and Han Qi couldn't help but not be afraid of Han Zong's act of reporting, and even hoped that there would be one, so that he could get evidence of Han Zong's collusion with Zang Pavilion.

"However, brother Zhigui happened to call me today, so there must be other reasons?" Han Zong couldn't help but glance at Cui Tao.

As it happened, Han Zong naturally suspected that Cui Tao had told Han Qi about their conversation yesterday.Perhaps Han Qi suspected that he had something to do with the Dizang Pavilion, so he deliberately decided to call him when the Dizang Pavilion was raided today, to find out his truth.

"Yes, she told me everything that happened yesterday," Han Qi and Han Zong met each other, and said frankly, "My suspicion is what you think."

Han Zong's eyes suddenly fixed, and then he bent his eyes and smiled, "Then you should think too much, I drank a little too much last night, and when I was drunk, I wanted to have dreams that were not unrequited love, so I started drinking Crazy, let Mrs. Cui misunderstand. I woke up this morning and regretted it, and I plan to come to apologize to Mrs. Cui."

After Han Zong finished speaking, his eyes shifted to Cui Tao, and there were many complex emotions in his eyes.

Cui Tao accepted Han Zong's apology, and also apologized to Han Zong: "Because I had doubts, I had to report it to Han Tuiguan. I hope Han Erlang will forgive me."

Han Zong smiled, "It's okay, I can understand."

But it was inevitable that his heart would be pierced, and even for a moment he felt that Cui Tao's move to pass on the message to Han Qi was a 'betrayal'.But thinking about what she has suffered, the crimes he has suffered now are nothing.Besides, she lost her memory, and she never made a promise to him. She went to him last night to check him.He deserved the current situation like this, understandable and reasonable.

"Since you have already found out the location of the sub-helm of the Dizang Pavilion, what are you waiting for, do it quickly, so that those villains will not run away!" Han Zong immediately urged Han Qi to do it quickly.

"The three caves of the cunning rabbit, we speculate that the fish shop is connected to another place." Han Qi asked Han Zong's judgment.

This move is knowingly asking.

Han Zong listened to the situation of the three shops that Han Qi said with a normal expression, and carefully analyzed the situation: "The coffin shop is more suspicious, but the possibility of the other two cannot be ruled out. We should deploy as many people as possible. Since they are all desperadoes, Presumably the skills are not low, and the swords and darts are probably well prepared, but I don't know if it has been poisoned, so be careful and don't attack by force."

"rational."

Han Qi, who already had a way to apprehend him, specifically asked Han Zong what kind of magic method he had.

So, the two did some research together.

"Start with the most suspicious coffin, and use the water as an 'accident' to force these people to be unprepared because they are too busy escaping, and then arrest them." Han Zong suggested.

Cui Tao was sitting on a stool by the north window at this time, silently holding a bowl of herbal tea and putting it into her mouth, silently watching the two discuss ways to exterminate them, without getting involved in the whole process.

Inexplicably, she felt that these two men were terrifying.

……

After burning incense, Li Cai, under Cui Tao's guidance, skillfully threw the black stone flakes with white phosphorous powder onto the firewood pile behind the coffin shop.When the sun is high, the black stone absorbs heat, which will soon ignite the white phosphorus, and then burn the haystack.

Sure enough, a moment later, when no one passed by in front of or behind the coffin shop, the firewood stack suddenly caught fire. ' They all surrounded him and shouted to get out of the water.

More and more people gathered, and there was constant noise. After a while, the coffin shop owner ran out alone, stomped and sighed that he had fallen asleep, and begged everyone to help put out the fire.

But in the eyes of Li Yuan and others, the owner of the coffin shop took so long to escape, probably because he arranged for other people in the shop to escape when it was on fire.

Cui Tao brought Wang Zhao and others to the carp shop early.

They first pretended to be customers and went in to buy dried fish, and one or two people pretended to be picky and made trouble to attract Sui Sanniang's attention.Cui Tao led the others to conduct a comprehensive search of the watchmen hidden in the fish shop, and silently controlled them.

Cui Tao interrogated them for a while, seeing that Sui Sanniang and others were pretending to be stupid, she stopped asking, gagged their mouths, tied them up and confined them in a small room for guarding.

Cui Tao, Wang Zhao and a few others pretended to be shop assistants in the shop and continued to operate, waiting for the coffin shop at the back of the fish shop to catch fire, and to see if someone would come out of the salted fish shop out of thin air.

Cui Fu fiddled with the abacus in front of the cabinet boredly, and soon heard footsteps coming from the backyard.

Wang Zhao glanced through the window and told Cui Tao that someone had come out of the room where the salted fish was pickled.At first glance, there are more than [-] tanks in that room, all of which are used to pickle salted fish.Due to time constraints, there are a lot of messy things in this salted fish shop. There may be too many places connected to the tunnel, and it is inevitable that someone under the tunnel will hear abnormal movements, so everyone did not search just now.

Now it seems that one of the tanks in that room should be empty and connected to the tunnel.

When the first person ran out, Wang Zhao and others were startled, and they didn't move for the time being.

The man ran to the front lobby where salted fish was sold, rushed to the cabinet and shouted, "Sui Sanniang, it's on fire over there!"

When the young man realized that it was a pretty strange woman who was looking up, he was stunned, but he didn't get defensive, probably because Cui Tao's standing posture behind the cabinet fiddling with the abacus was too casual, as if this was her home in the first place As it should be.

"you are?"

"Following Sanniang's distant niece, my aunt saw that I was good-looking, and insisted that I come here to join her, saying that she would give me a good future." Cui Tao lazily put down the abacus in her hand, resting her face in her hands, her eyes were black and white Looking at the young man, "Do you think I'm good-looking? Will I have a good future?"

The man was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Naturally, you are so beautiful, if you are lucky enough to be chosen by Jiao Gu to teach you, you will have a bright future in the future."

"Where is Jiaogu? When will you lead me away?"

The man was about to open his mouth when three people came over from the backyard one after another. One of the older men with mustaches was shocked when he saw Cui Tao.

"Why are you here?"

Cui Tao also recognized him, this man was one of the assassins who besieged her and Li Cai in the alley.

"Brother Feng knows her?" the young man asked.

"She is Cui Tao, whom the chief of the pavilion captured!"

Cui Tao picked up the abacus again, fiddled with the beads, and responded to the middle-aged man: "Why do you think I came?"

The person called Brother Feng stared back at Cui Tao defensively, and then found that not far behind her, the 'man' pretending to be cleaning was Li Yuan.

"He's the military patrol of Kaifeng Mansion! Not good! We've been tricked—"

Before he could finish speaking, he was already hit by the abacus bead on the dumb acupoint, and he was speechless.

The other two were also brought down by the yamen servant hiding behind the salted fish basket and quickly dragged away.

However, the people who came out afterward still saw the anomaly in the lobby, and someone shouted.The yamen servants lying on the wall and everywhere immediately surrounded them, and it didn't take long to control them.

Speaking of it, it was also because they escaped in a hurry, many weapons and concealed weapons were not brought, and some even forgot to take knives, so their ability to resist was very limited.

Cui Tao still kept the young man who talked to her at the beginning. He naturally wanted to run, but after being pierced with silver needles, his legs were paralyzed and he couldn't run.

Cui Tao asked him: "Who is Jiaogu? Where can I find him?"

"I have no idea!"

Cui Tao slowly pulled out the dagger.

"I really don't know!" the young man said in horror.

At this time, everyone was under control, including the manager of the coffin shop and the two men.But it is not sure whether there are still people who have not returned, so the main entrance of the fish store still looks normal, and there are no traces of government personnel walking around.

Both Han Qi and Han Zong entered through the back door of the fish shop in casual clothes.

When Cui Tao saw Han Zong coming, she patted the young man's face with a knife and asked him in a low voice if he knew Han Zong.

The young man looked at Han Zong, his eyes widened in horror, suddenly the blood vessels on his face burst out, and something wriggled under his skin.

"Hey, what's wrong with their faces?" The yamen guards in the backyard who were holding the assassins of Dizang Pavilion also noticed something was wrong.

Cui Tao sniffed her nose twice, distinguishing a scent from the smell of salted fish in the room.Then, I saw the young man screaming for pain and scratching his face and body.

After searching, Wang Zhao told Han Qi that there was a piece of burning incense under the east window of the shop, and there was another piece under the east wall of the backyard.The east wind happened to be blowing today, and when the wind blew, the smoke was blown into the house.Because there was smoke from the burning haystacks on the coffin store in the other side, and there was also some smoke from here, and there was also the smell of salted fish. Everyone was focused on arresting and interrogating people, so they didn't notice it.

After a while, the howling and struggling Di Zang Pavilion assassins were all dead, and black worms were seen crawling out of their skin, nose, nose and ears.Wang Zhao immediately went to check the situation of Sui Sanniang and others, and they all died in the same way.But they were gagged, so they didn't hear their shouts just now.

Cui Tao naturally knew that it was Gu poison, and certain Gu insects were particularly sensitive to certain scents, and when the smell came out, they would become extremely excited and active.There are many such situations in the animal world. For example, male snakes, except for a few species, are mostly gentle and will not actively attack people. However, during the breeding season, they will become more aggressive due to the scent released by the olfactory glands at the base of the tail of female snakes.

After Cui Tao smelled the fragrance and realized that these people were poisoned, she immediately prepared silver needles and sealed her two acupoints.Because she had also stayed in Di Zang Pavilion, she was inevitably worried that she had also been poisoned.But after a short observation, she found that there was nothing wrong with her, so she pulled out the silver needle.

Han Zong naturally saw Cui Tao's actions, so he immediately turned his eyes and looked away.Because he was afraid that if he watched it any longer, he would lose control of his emotions.

Han Qi didn't pay attention to Han Zong at this moment, he stared at Cui Tao with concern, and asked her softly if she was okay.

"It's okay." Cui Tao glanced at Han Zong's back and gave Han Qi a wink.

Han Qi immediately understood what Cui Tao meant, and said to her, "I don't see anything unusual about him."

"But it's too coincidental. Otherwise, these people would have escaped if they had been notified earlier. It can be seen that this person has just found out about the situation and cannot help himself. He cannot save others, so he must kill him."

Han Qi slightly nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the truth can be found out, it will fall short!This is as abominable as the fat duck that is delivered to the mouth can't be eaten!

Wang Zhao brought over the unburned incense and showed it to Cui Tao to check.

This is a cake-shaped incense, a small piece has just been burned, and there is still oil residue on the surface.Apparently, the incense was burnt shortly after it was molded in Xiangyin.It seems that someone discovered that they were operating here and rushed to a nearby incense shop to make this kind of incense temporarily.

Cui Tao immediately took people to the nearest incense shop.

Because it was still early, there were not many people patronizing the incense shop, and the suspect asked to make incense himself, so the question came out as soon as he asked.

"Before a stick of incense, there was a little lady who came here, gave us money, and said she wanted to make incense herself." The shopkeeper of the incense shop honestly confessed, "He is an inch taller than the little lady, she is wearing a veil, and she is wearing a lake blue gown. , a pleated skirt, and a food box in her hand, with silver hairpins and pearls and emeralds on her hair, she presumably is a lady from a wealthy family."

Cui Tao asked her where the incense was made, but the shopkeeper told Cui Tao that they had just cleaned all the utensils used by the little lady.It is natural to pay attention to cleanliness when making incense, otherwise the scents will mix together, which will affect the taste of their next incense making.

Cui Tao naturally understood, so she went to look at the place where the woman made incense.After careful investigation, Cui Tao picked up a black insect leg on the ground under the incense table.Cui Tao carefully wrapped the insect legs into a paper bag, and asked the shopkeeper if she remembered what kind of eyes the woman had.

"Double eyelids, the eyes are like willow leaves, and the eyebrows are carefully drawn with Dai." The shopkeeper of Xiangpu described it, because he would cover his face when occasionally a woman came to visit him. In order to distinguish and remember the guests, he often pays special attention to the eyes. .

Cui Tao recorded all these as evidence, and then left.

Han Zong followed Han Qi back to Kaifeng Mansion, and when Cui Tao came back, he kept looking at her.

"Does Han Erlang recognize this kind of fragrance?" Cui Tao asked Han Zong immediately after taking a sip of tea with smoke coming from his throat.

"I don't know." Han Zong smiled, looked at Han Qi with raised eyebrows, and asked him if there was anything else he wanted to take with him today, teach him, or let him gain experience, "If not, I will take my leave first .”

Han Qi nodded.

"Leave in such a hurry?" Cui Tao stared at Han Zong suspiciously.

Han Zong had already got up and went out, but he stopped when he heard Cui Tao's words, turned around and smiled again.

"Otherwise? If you stay here, will Mrs. Cui have the leisure to chat with me?"

Cui Tao waved to Han Zong, telling him to leave quickly.

"The Dizang Pavilion is much more vicious than the Tianji Pavilion." Cui Tao and Han Qi said with emotion.

The same is to destroy the Bianjing sub-helm, those people in the Tianji Pavilion survived anyway, and the upper level of the Tianji Pavilion did not use Gu poison to control the lower levels.Dizang Pavilion doesn't regard those people below as human beings at all, they are just tools that can be used, and they will be completely destroyed when they are no longer needed.

Looking at the way those people were killed by the Gu, Cui Tao somewhat understood why he didn't make a sophistry after he was caught, and wanted to die with all his heart.How much desire for future life will people living in that environment carry?

"This case cannot be spread to the outside world, so as not to cause panic." After Han Qi wrote the report, he informed Cui Tao.

Cui Tao nodded in agreement, expressing her understanding.She then told Han Qi about the clue she got about Jiaogu.

"After I was robbed in Qingfu Temple three years ago, I was probably sent to teach under the name of Jiaogu in the Dizang Pavilion."

Since there is such a number one person in the Dizang Pavilion, beautiful women will be selected for training.Cui Tao felt that with her original appearance and talent, she should be able to be selected.Then she was sent on a mission, which made sense.

However, in this process, Han Zong should have stepped in, although there is no evidence to prove that he played any role.But Cui Tao can see from the attitude of the woman in Xuanyi towards her, that the owner of the Dizang Pavilion doesn't think much of her, and doesn't think much of her.The reason why after Han Zong appeared, he no longer silenced her, he still had a little bit of scruples, and he didn't put a venom on her like other ordinary members of the Dizang Pavilion, probably all have something to do with Han Zong.

"The owner of the Dizang Pavilion is so vicious and ruthless, so why would she be so accommodating to a young man from a family? So much so that she still has to worry about me because of him?

Han Zong is a special existence in Dizang Pavilion.I have thought about various possible relationships, but no matter which one is involved, the relationship between mother and child is not as deep and strong.This also explains why Han Zong doesn't have Gu poison on his body, and I don't have it under his protection. "

At the same time, this can also explain why Han Zong refused to disclose the matter of the Dizang Pavilion every time she questioned Han Zong, because it was probably his mother's property.

A tiger's poison does not eat its offspring, nor does its offspring eat the tiger.

Han Qi also felt that Cui Tao's speculation was very likely, but there was no evidence to prove it.Han Jianyi's wife, that is, Han Qi's mother, was the daughter of a prime minister in the late emperor's time. Her family background was high and innocent, and she didn't seem to be someone who would have anything to do with Dizang Pavilion.

"There is probably something hidden here. His family background is too high. After this incident, he must take precautions. It is really difficult to confirm it in a short time. We can only wait for a while and secretly investigate the situation of Han Jianyi and his wife before we talk about it."

Cui Tao sighed helplessly, and then asked Han Qi where he got the news about Dizang Pavilion's sub-helm.

"Mr. Mochizuki."

Cui Tao was stunned for a moment, "You actually went to find Mr. Mochizuki, how did you force him to speak?"

"I won a game of chess with him." When Han Qi replied, he looked at Cui Tao with gentle and worried eyes.

"Then why didn't we win a few more games, and just gave him the Dizang Pavilion lair!" Cui Tao encouraged.

"You really think he knows everything and knows everything?"

After seeing Cui Tao's setback, Han Qi was not discouraged, he was a little relieved, and explained to Cui Tao with a light smile that Mr. Mochizuki is not that amazing.He just listened to a lot of things in and around Tokyo, and accumulated some news to make a logical summary. In fact, he didn't know a lot of news in a wider range.

"Now he is no longer in Tokyo. After losing that game of chess, Mr. Mochizuki packed up and fled, so that no one can find him. Saying so is the only way to save your life, so as not to be avenged by the people of the Dizang Pavilion."

"It's a fine person."

As soon as Cui Tao finished speaking, Pinger came to Cui Tao to say goodbye.

"Farewell? Where are you going?" Cui Tao asked in surprise.

"Mr. Mochizuki left me a letter, saying that my father is seriously ill, and I have to go home to see her." Ping'er said anxiously, with tears in her eyes.

Wang Siniang then ran over, and he was about to scold Pinger for coming here to make trouble.After hearing Ping'er's words, she asked her in surprise: "Didn't you say that you had no one to go to when you came out of the prison?"

"No one, my father is in Shenzhou, and I am actually from the same town as Mrs. Cui." Ping'er glanced at Cui Tao, and then said awkwardly, "But Mrs. Cui ran away from home in a fake way, but I really ran away from home. "

There was a moment of silence in the house.

Wang Siniang sighed: "I didn't see it, you usually look gentle and well-behaved, but you have such a temper?"

"Naturally, I left home for a major reason, but now he is seriously ill, no matter what, I have to go back and have a look at him." Ping'er squeezed the letter tightly in her hand.

"Well, filial piety is a big thing, so we should go back." Cui Tao's eyes moved, and she said to Ping'er, "Since I'm from the same town, I just happen to go back with you. At that time, we will go back to our respective homes and find our respective fathers!"

Since the road to Zangge in Bianjing is blocked for the time being, Cui's family still has one.Cui Tao wanted to take a look, would this person from the Cui family die for her to see?
