Datang traitor
Chapter 74
"What happen to you guys?"
Qin Yuan looked back, but saw nothing.
The shadow had long before that, flashed by, and disappeared.
"Ghost...Ghost?" Qin Qiong pointed to the main room behind Qin Yuan, seeing Qin Yuan looking at him with disbelief, Qin Qiong turned to Wen Yanbo and Changsun Wuji to confirm, "You all saw it too, right? "
Wen Yanbo nodded immediately, and gave a low "hmm".It's not that Wen Yanbo is pretending to be deep, it's that his heart is beating so fast now, he is a pure literati, and his courage is not comparable to those who have fought on the battlefield like Changsun Wuji and Qin Qiong.So now Wen Yanbo was surprised and couldn't say much.
Changsun Wuji collected himself and tried his best to pretend to be very calm and indifferent.
"Perhaps I missed it."
"The three of us saw it at the same time, can it be called blind? This is called seeing." Qin Qiong corrected the elder Sun Wuji's words, and said to Qin Yuan earnestly, "Brother said that this house is haunted, I didn't lie to you. Okay. Brother, hurry up, don't just stay here, go live at the elder brother's house, and later elder brother will help you ask His Majesty for a new mansion."
After Qin Qiong finished speaking, he went to pull Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan told Qin Qiong not to make trouble, and poured wine for Qin Qiong, laughed and said: "I know you guys colluded to deceive me deliberately, and I'm really afraid of being fooled? I'll be angry if you make trouble again, hurry up and drink, don't waste this A good table."
Qin Qiong seriously explained that she didn't lie to Qin Yuan, what a ghost, Wen Yanbo also agreed at this time and told Qin Yuan that she didn't lie to him.Qin Yuan still didn't believe it, and told them not to scare him anymore.
Qin Yuan raised his glass and said: "Thank you three virtuous brothers for taking care of me during this time, I will do it first as a respect."
After Qin Yuan finished speaking, he drank the wine in one gulp.
The three of them looked at each other twice, their hospitality was undeniable, and they also raised their glasses to drink.
Alcohol makes people courageous, and after a few glasses of wine, the three of them didn't care so much about the shadow that appeared before.Perhaps the shadow was accidental, and some other explanation would make sense.
"Meow--"
The black-and-white cat ran out of the house at this time.
Changsun Wuji, Qin Qiong and Wen Yanbo all heaved a sigh of relief.
Then the four of them ate and chatted around the table to their heart's content, during which Qin Yuan walked away once.
Qin Yuan spit out the few sips of wine he drank before in time.His reaction to eating human things is not as strong as it was at the beginning, and it is not uncomfortable when he vomits.Qin Yuan felt that this might have something to do with his reduced appetite after he was promoted.Perhaps one day, he will be able to freely taste the delicacy of the world without having to eat the food from the farm.
An hour later, everyone was full, and Zai Qin Yuan happily poured wine for them again as a farewell.
Suddenly a window opened in the main room, and the north wind blew out several lamps in the room.
Suddenly, a white-clothed ghost with disheveled hair slowly moved from the room towards the open main hall door, and was also moving in the direction of Changsun Wuji, Qin Qiong and Wen Yanbo.
When the white-clothed ghost walked to the door, he suddenly raised his head, and under the light of the red light hung high under the porch, his pale face bleeding from seven orifices flashed past, which was particularly terrifying.
Wen Yanbo was the first to see it and stood up.Changsun Wuji and Qin Qiong were attracted attention afterward, followed by looking over, both of them dropped their wine bowls and got up.
"Ghost—" Qin Qiong pointed again.
"Ah?" Qin Yuan turned his head, and the ghost suddenly disappeared again.
Changsun Wuji drew out the saber from his waist, called his subordinates, and went straight to the main hall. A group of people searched the main hall for a while, but they didn't see any ghosts.
"What are you looking for? Ghosts naturally come and go without a trace. Where can you find them?" Qin Qiong pinched the amulet hanging around her neck, took a look into the room, and immediately retracted her neck and retreated.
Qin Yuan followed, and asked what they were doing with a puzzled expression, "You're full, and you're starting to joke with me again?"
Qin Yuan specially accompanied the attendants, and the attendants all shook their heads, indicating that they didn't see it.
Both Qin Qiong and Wen Yanbo were helpless.
"They are all standing far away on both sides, so they can't see them naturally." Changsun Wuji said to Qin Yuan, "I will warn you one last time, we are not joking, do you believe it or not?"
Qin Yuan: "Resolutely not to be fooled."
Changsun Wuji took a special look at Qin Yuan, seeing that he was still giggling and ignorant of anything, he felt a little guilty in his heart.He shouldn't be tempted to suggest that Li Shimin give this house to Qin Yuan.But it doesn't matter, you can let him live in his own house for the time being, and then he will find a chance to hire Qin Yuan a better mansion again.
"Forget it, I'll be next door when something happens, whether you knock on the door or climb over the wall, come here anytime." After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, he cupped his hands and bid farewell to Qin Yuan.
Seeing this, Wen Yanbo and Qin Qiong also knew that Qin Yuan had lost his mind.The two also hurriedly said goodbye to Qin Yuan, emphasizing again and again that they were not joking with him, and asked Qin Yuan to take care.
The three left in a hurry, Qin Yuan smiled and waved off.
"Go well, go well, go well!"
Qin Yuan turned around and entered the main hall, and looked around the beam, but he really didn't see anyone.
Fang Xi on the beam heard Qin Yuan's call and moved a bit, and then vaguely saw the shortest beam at the top, and a man in black was lying on it.Because of the high position and the very thin stature of this person, he was lying motionless on the beam in the dark place at the top, so the people below could hardly tell who was there.
The servant put the ladder on Fang Xi, and Fang Xi climbed down from the height, and came to salute Qin Yuan with a smile. He was holding a bulging leather man in his arms.
Qin Yuan repeatedly praised Fang Xi's promise, "It's very capable to hide it from those three."
After Fang Xi got the reward, he thanked Qin Yuan happily, and said to Qin Yuan: "I have brought someone to clean up and down the dormitory, scrubbed it with pomelo leaf water, smoked wormwood, and invited a few A talisman to ward off evil spirits."
Fang Xi asked Qin Yuan if he wanted to paste these talisman papers.
"No need."
Because Qin Yuan succeeded in frightening Changsun Wuji and the others, he happily hummed a ditty after taking a bath, and then lay down on the couch to rest.
After midnight, Qin Yuan was very sleepy and soon fell asleep.
what--
A piercing cry of emotion suddenly cut through the silent night sky, waking Qin Yuan up.
Qin Yuan sat up and listened carefully.
Whoa whoa—
The voice came from the backyard, like crying, but a little short of breath.In such a quiet and late night, it was especially scary to hear this kind of sound coming from the desolate backyard.
At this time, Qin Yuan felt footsteps outside the door and hurriedly asked who it was, Fang Xi answered, and then pushed the door open to enter.
"Mr. Lang, I heard that there were crying sounds. I was worried that Mr. Lang was in trouble, so I went to take a look with Cai Yang."
Qin Yuan saw that Cai Yang also came in afterward, both of them were only wearing obscene clothes, it seemed that both of them were awakened from their deep sleep.
After Qin Yuan put on some clothes, he asked for a lantern, and he wanted to take the lantern to the backyard to have a look.Fang Xi and Cai Yang were worried, they hurried to get dressed, and wanted to go with Qin Yuan.At this time, the other servants in the courtyard were also awakened by the crying. Someone saw Qin Yuan coming out and called out, and everyone quickly followed him, wanting to go with Qin Yuan.
Fang Xi and Cai Yang had been in charge of Zhuangzi before, after Qin Yuan got the house, he called them to be responsible for cleaning and arranging the new house.Because Qin Yuan treated the two of them kindly, Fang Xi and Cai Yang also treated the hundreds of handymen who were rewarded later by Li Shimin with kindness.Although these handymen have only been here for only three days, under the guidance of Fang Xi and Cai Yang, everyone knows that Mr. Lang is a very good person, so at this moment everyone is worried about Mr. Lang's safety.
If something happens to Mr. Lang, the good times of these people will come to an end, but this kind of thing must not be allowed to happen.
There are many people and great strength, and they vowed to protect Qin Langjun's integrity.
Ah, ah, ah, ah——
The terrifying cry came again.
In order to avoid man-made troubles, Qin Yuan ordered Fang Xi to count the number of people on the spot.
"Lang Jun, we're all here." Fang Xi said.
"You are all waiting here. If there are too many people, it will only add to the chaos." Qin Yuan wants to see what this ghost is like.
Qin Yuan took Fang Xi and Cai Yang to the desolate backyard of the mansion. This area is relatively large, and the garden is overgrown with weeds. It would take a lot of time to tidy up and repair it, so it has not been moved here for the past three days.
The path paved with stone slabs in the back garden has been crowded with grass on both sides of the road. When people walk by, the long grass scrapes their clothes and makes a rattling sound.
Qin Yuan took the lantern to a house near the lake, and the crying sounded again.
"It seems to be here." Fang Xi pointed to the dark room.
Qin Yuan carried the lantern and headed towards the house, when a gust of cold wind blew past.Fang Xi and Cai Yang shrank their necks and supported each other. Although they were afraid in their hearts, they didn't flinch because they had their husband in front of them.
There is a small yard in front of the house. There are fish tanks on the left and right, but they are already very old. There is some water in the tank, and a few weeds grow sporadically in the water.The water should have accumulated from the torrential rain that fell a few days ago.Due to the age, some dust and dirt have accumulated in the original tank, so grass will grow.
The wood of the doors and windows is faded and slightly cracked.Qin Yuan pushed the door and found that the door was locked with three locks, and there were still traces of yellow paper near the lock.
"The talisman paper pasted here before has rotted after a long time." Cai Yang frowned after looking carefully, "Why are there so many locks?"
Qin Yuan saw that the lock was rusted, so he asked Cai Yang to find a stone and smash the lock.
After two bang bang bangs, there was a sudden rustling sound in the room.
Both Cai Yang and Fang Xi raised their hearts to their throats in fright.
Qin Yuan kicked open the door and rushed in, carrying a lantern to check the environment inside the house.
There was a strong smell of stagnant damp in the room, like the smell of rotten wood after the rain.The tables, chairs and other things in the hall are very neat, but they are covered with dust and cobwebs. Going to the inner room, there are still bedding on the bed, and the hanging curtains are still in good condition.
There was a black mark hanging on the curtain on the left side of the bed, like blood sprayed on it, which had turned black over time.
"This is blood." Fang Xi whispered to Cai Yang beside him with fear in his voice.
Cai Yang nodded, he thought so too.
Ah, ah, ah——
There were a few short cries again, coming from the rear window!
Qin Yuan kicked open the back window, went out, and found that a large wall of the backyard had collapsed, and there were weeds blown up and down by the storm everywhere.The night was quiet, and when I looked around, I didn't see anything unusual.
Ah, ah, ah——
The cry came from farther away.
"Sure enough, it's a ghost. Otherwise, how could it be screaming here for a while, and then running to such a far away place in an instant?" Cai Yang asked with a trembling voice.
Qin Yuan and the others continued to chase after the call, but they still found nothing in the end.
"When it's dawn, you bring people to the backyard to clean up. If you don't have enough manpower, ask someone to help. In short, clean up the yard as soon as possible. I'd like to see how it will be tomorrow night." Qin Yuan ordered, and called Yawned, went back to sleep.
An hour later, Qin Yuan had to get up sleepily and went to Dali Temple in a daze.
Seeing that Qin Yuan was so tired, Changsun Wuji asked him if he didn't sleep well last night.
"Yeah." Qin Yuan took a pear from his sleeve and ate it, he hadn't finished his breakfast yet.
Changsun Wuji raised his eyebrows and looked at Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan thought for a while, took out another pear from his sleeve, and handed it to Zhangsun Wuji.
After Changsun Wuji got it in his hand, he hesitated for a moment and asked Qin Yuan, "Will you wash it?"
"Anyway, it's clean." Qin Yuan finished a pear in two or three bites. Seeing that Changsun Wuji was still hesitating about the pear in his hand, he summoned the little official and ordered him to help Changsun Wuji wash the pear.
Changsun Wuji was very happy after eating the sweet pear, and asked Qin Yuan with a smile what happened to him last night.
"Did you see a ghost at noon? Do you know we didn't lie to you last night?"
"I didn't see it, but I heard crying in the backyard." Qin Yuan replied.
"You should hurry to live at my house, why insist on staying there?" Changsun Wuji questioned.
"Golden nest and silver nest are not as good as your own haunted house. After all, it is my own home, whatever you want." Qin Yuan reassured Changsun Wuji, "If there is a ghost, I must discuss it with the ghost if I see it, and ask him to move a little bit. Go to the next door to make trouble. The next door has money and status, and the family has what they want, which is much better than my miserable place."
"The heart of a wolf!" Changsun Wuji scolded.
"Really, I don't know what you did? You must have contributed to my getting this ghost house, and you're pretending to be kind to me right now." Qin Yuan retorted.
Changsun Wuji was silent, it was indeed he who made the matter worse, it was not his original intention.
"If you really feel at a loss, lend me some people to help me repair the back garden." Qin Yuan saw that the elder Sun Wuji was really embarrassed, and smiled and let him go down the steps.
Changsun Wuji hardly hesitated, after agreeing, he sent a message to order people in the mansion to help Qin Yuan, and told Qin Yuan that he could pay all the repair expenses.
"Then I will build two more pavilions and waterside pavilions." Qin Yuan sighed.
"Anything you want." Changsun Wuji naturally didn't care about such a small amount of money.
Qin Yuan took another pear from his sleeve and ate it.
Changsun Wuji looked at Qin Yuan silently.After Qin Yuan finished eating the pear, and took the pear out of his sleeve again, Changsun Wuji couldn't help it anymore, he got up and walked towards Qin Yuan.
Seeing Changsun Wuji's approaching menacingly, Qin Yuan was so frightened that he got up and dodged, and asked him why.
"Today I want to see how many universes you have in your sleeves, so stop!"
Qin Yuan sprinted, fled to the window, jumped over the window and ran away.
The little officials at the gate were startled, they didn't expect Qin Shaoqing to be able to jump out of the window.Just as he was amazed and wondering, he saw Changsun Gong open the door and go out to chase people. After a while, he saw Changsun Gong come back angrily, shaking his sleeves.
Changsun Wuji ordered the little official to stand guard in front of Qin Yuan's house from now on, and to notify him as soon as he came back.
The little official understood that grandson Gong failed to catch up with Qin Shaoqing again and again.
The eldest grandson is so pitiful, he can't catch up every time, and every time he is angry.And when I see Qin Shaoqing next time, I still can't express my temper.
Why do you bother yourself so much?
The petty officials saw things more thoroughly than Changsun Wuji, but they still obediently carried out orders from their superiors, so they waited obediently at the door of Qin Shaoqing's house.
Qin Yuan entered the palace, and accompanied Tuli Khan to meet Li Shimin with Wen Yanbo.
After Tuli Khan saluted Li Shimin respectfully, he explained the purpose of this visit.He wanted to ask Datang to send troops to help him deal with his uncle Jieli Khan.
Turks were initially ruled by Tuli Khan's father, Shibi Khan. When Shibi Khan died, Tuli Khan was too young to be in power, so his uncle Chuluo Khan took over.Turkic Khan was arranged by his uncle in eastern Turkic.Two years later, Chuluo Khan passed away, and the position of Khan was inherited by another uncle of Tuli Khan, Jieli Khan, who still served as a small khan in eastern Turkic.
Later, because three of Tuli Khan's subordinates refused to accept discipline and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, Jieli Khan despised Tuli Khan for his incompetence, and after several months of imprisonment, Tuli Khan was released before being released.Therefore, Tuli Khan hated Jieli Khan, and the two sides have been fighting each other ever since.Now Tuli Khan came to Datang to ask Li Shimin for help to help him deal with Jieli Khan.
"As long as I defeat my uncle and let me whip him a few times for revenge, I'm willing to surrender to Datang!" Tuli Khan expressed his heart to Li Shimin simply and straightforwardly.
Li Shimin welcomed Tuli Khan with a smile, and gave him a royal meal.
Tuli Khan liked Datang's food very much, and praised its deliciousness again and again.
When Tuli Khan drank, he saw that the color of the wine was mellow and bright red. After careful identification, it seemed to have a fruity taste, and he asked Li Shimin what kind of wine it was.After learning that it was cherry wine, Tuli Khan liked it very much, and sighed that it was the best cherry wine he had ever drunk in his life.
Tuli Khan smiled heartily and said to Li Shimin: "If I drink this fruit wine every day, then I would rather not go back to Turkic."
Fang Xuanling and other ministers accompanying him couldn't help laughing, and sighed that Tuli Khan was "unfortunate to leave".
Tuli Khan immediately waved his hand and explained to Fang Xuanling: "No, no, I'm not happy, and I don't think about rats. I don't like rats. The gray fluffy ones steal people's food. It's too annoying. !"
Everyone laughed again when they heard the words.Li Shimin lamented that Tuli Khan was the second person who could make him so happy just by talking.
After understanding the explanation of the words, Tuli Khan knew that he had misunderstood, smiled awkwardly and scratched his head, then stretched his neck and asked Li Shimin, who is the other person who can make him laugh just by talking.
Li Shimin glanced at Qin Yuan, and told Tuli Khan that this delicious cherry wine was made by Qin Yuan.
Tuli Khan looked at Qin Yuan in surprise: "Let me just say, when I first met Qin Shaoqing, I knew he must be different. Someone who can suddenly be promoted so quickly in the Tang Dynasty within a few months must be extraordinary." Ability. Today I finally know what your extraordinary ability is."
Fang Xuanling and other ministers hurriedly asked what Tuli Khan was.
"Of course he knows how to make wine!" Tuli Khan said, "If such good wine is produced in our Turkic state, I will definitely give it to Qin Shaoqing as the biggest official."
Li Shimin and others laughed again.
Qin Yuan also laughed and raised his glass to Tuli Khan.
After the meal, Li Shimin ordered Wen Yanbo to lure Tuli Khan out of the palace, and immediately discussed with Fang Xuanling and other ministers about Tuli Khan asking Datang for help, and whether Datang should send troops to assist him.
Several ministers insisted on their own opinions, and Qin Yuan did not get involved. This kind of matter will be discussed sooner or later. With Li Shimin's wisdom, there will be no problem with the decision he made.
Qin Yuan was very curious, seeing Tuli Khan this time, why Li Shimin didn't call Changsun Wuji to come.In the past, no matter how big or small the court was, there would always be the figure of Changsun Wuji.
The discussion finally ended temporarily with 'discussion later', Li Shimin left Qin Yuan alone, and asked whether he had any results in the case of Hu Yunu and Zhou Cairen.
"This case is still under investigation." Qin Yuan said to Li Shimin.
"But I heard that you didn't go to the harem to investigate the case." Li Shimin's serious eyes suddenly focused on Qin Yuan, obviously unhappy.
"I think the key to this case is where the poison Hu Yunu took came from. Finding out the source of the poison will almost solve the case."
Qin Yuan told Li Shimin that he had asked the palace servants to pass a message to Empress Changsun, and asked Empress Changsun to send someone to monitor Zhou Cairen and those around Hu Yunv, and to protect the crime scene and Hu Yunv's residence.Qin Yuan spent the past two days investigating the backgrounds of the palace servants around Zhou Cairen and Hu Yunu, and wanted to see if any of these people had a poisonous background.
After all, it is a forbidden place in the deep palace, so it is not easy for Qin Yuan to go there often. He wants to wait until everything is ready before going.
Li Shimin lamented that Qin Yuan was thoughtful.
Li Shimin was quite relieved that Qin Yuan could act cautiously like this.
When it came to the source of the poison, Li Shimin suddenly thought of the imperial hospital, almost only the imperial physicians in the palace could get the poison.
Qin Yuan: "I have already checked Hu Yunv's pulse diagnosis. She has been in good health for the past six months and has never seen an imperial physician."
Li Shimin suddenly thought of something, "Zhou Cairen has often asked for pulse recently, and the imperial doctor who saw him was her own relative. In this way, the more we investigate, the more suspicious Zhou Cairen becomes."
Qin Yuan is silent, there is no evidence now, it is still unclear who is more suspected.
"Could it really be that Zhou Cairen did this? She expected that I would protect him, so she made such a bold move?" Li Shimin began to speculate on various possibilities.
Qin Yuan pondered and said: "Only when people are desperate, will they choose to die and survive. Zhou Cairen is not without a way out. I thought it would be too risky for her to gamble with this. But when things have not been verified Before, this possibility was not ruled out."
Li Shimin thought it made sense, and he told Qin Yuan to investigate the case seriously and quickly.In the past two days, Hu Yushi has been participating non-stop. Although Li Shimin has ordered Shuxing to temporarily hold Hu Yushi's memorial, it is only temporary.If there is no progress in the case after a long time, Hu Yushi will surely break into Liangyi Hall confidently and ask him to execute Zhou Cairen.
Qin Yuan promised, please rest assured that Li Shimin will deal with this case as soon as possible.
After Qin Yuan left the palace and before he arrived at Dali Temple, a subordinate of Tuli Khan caught up with his carriage and invited Qin Yuan to go out for a drink for his Khan.
Qin Yuan guessed that this Tuli Khan was probably eyeing his cherry wine, no matter what his purpose was, he really didn't have time to take care of it now, so he declined it on the grounds of his busy schedule.
Qin Yuan obtained the map of Pingyang County because of his deliberation on "The Map of Four Fields", and sent several officials to Pingyang County to investigate the situation.
Just after noon, the investigating officials returned to Dali Temple to report.They told Qin Yuan that when they inspected Pingyang County, they didn't find anything special.They also looked around the three mountains on the map, but found nothing unusual.I carefully asked the people living nearby, and the answer was the same, and nothing unusual happened locally.
"Why do you think there is no location marked on this map?" Dai Zhou asked Qin Yuan suspiciously.
Qin Yuan turned out the "Picture of Secret Plays in the Four Fields", and when he got to the last page, he found that the paper was not neat near the edge of the book, and only when he looked carefully could he find that the pages had been torn.
"No wonder, there was a page missing." Dai Zhou followed up and noticed, "Then who tore this page?"
Qin Yuan found a painter and gave him the "Secret Plays in the Four Fields" and asked him to draw a new book that was almost the same as the one in the book.Because the original book has already been pierced by him with a needle, if someone with a heart sees it, maybe they will understand it.
The artist in Dali Temple usually paints the most portraits of wanted criminals. He has all kinds of wanted criminals, so he has all the knowledge.But like Qin Shaoqing, asking him to paint erotic palaces is really the first time since he became an official.
The painter agreed awkwardly, picked up his pen and started his most difficult painting task.Unexpectedly, Qin Shaoqing did not leave, but leaned against the table, eating pears while watching him draw.It can be heard that the pear is very crisp, and the crackling sound is very loud when biting, and it is also very attractive.
The painter swallowed secretly, Qin Shaoqing seemed to have accurately noticed this scene.
Qin Yuan took out a pear from his sleeve, put it on the table, and told the artist to reward him with the pear when he finished the painting.
The artist suddenly had the feeling of 'I am a disobedient child being coaxed by the elders with small things', but this trick is easy to use, the artist does not care about the hot content on the secret play picture, bowing his head very seriously and full of energy drawing.
"You have to move the two of them here." Qin Yuan pointed his finger.
The painter was stunned: "But if this is the case, the two of them will be in the water. They were just by the stream."
"It's okay, it's not a problem, it's more exciting in the water, isn't it?"
Qin Shaoqing had a calm and gentle appearance, but his words were astonishing.
The artist couldn't stand the stimulation, his hand shook, and the ink dripped on the album.Reluctantly, he took down the drawing paper and prepared to draw again, while wiping the cold sweat from his head with his hands.
After Changsun Wuji heard the news of Qin Yuan's return, he immediately came to Qin Yuan.When he came in, he just heard the conversation between Qin Yuan and the painter.
More exciting in the water?Stimulate what?
Changsun Wuji stepped forward and saw clearly that Qin Yuan was personally instructing the painter how to draw pornographic pictures.Changsun Wuji turned to look at Qin Yuan in surprise, wanting to ask what was going on in Qin Yuan's head.
But Changsun Wuji hadn't spoken yet, Qin Yuan signaled Changsun Wuji with his eyes that he was doing business.
Changsun Wuji naturally had nothing to say, so he asked him to restrain himself, "If it's a business, don't eat pears, you're not serious."
Qin Yuan just took out a pear from his sleeve and handed it to Changsun Wuji. After hearing this, Qin Yuan hesitated to stop.Changsun Wuji took the pear first.
"This is not an example." Changsun Wuji handed the pear to his subordinates and ordered him to wash it before bringing it to himself.
After a while, the room turned into two people eating pears and watching the painter draw alone.Qin Yuan still didn't change his old habit, and used his hands to guide the artist where to paint from time to time.
Changsun Wuji occasionally joined in the fun and began to offer opinions.
The painter was very frightened, and finally finished the painting before dusk, sweating profusely.
After Qin Yuan received the mounted album, he praised the artist, bid farewell to Changsun Wuji, and left in a hurry.
The painter finally got the pear on the table, full of emotions in his heart.
It's not easy!not easy!
Bite into a pear, the crunchy sweetness is intoxicating, and the refreshing and pleasant sweetness spreads from the tip of his tongue to the whole body. The artist feels that his afternoon's work was not in vain, it was worth it!
Changsun Wuji went back to the house with a pear in his hand, the little official rushed over and asked Changsun Wuji if he had taught Qin Shaoqing a lesson.
Changsun Wuji's eyes froze for a moment, but his face remained calm, scolding the little official for talking too much.The little official hurriedly slapped himself, and resigned embarrassingly.
Changsun Wuji turned his back on everyone and closed his eyes against the wall.Is he getting old recently and has such a bad memory?He seems to have forgotten the purpose of looking for Qin Yuan.
……
Qin Yuan went to find Fang Ding with the newly drawn "Picture of Secret Plays in the Four Fields".
After Fang Ding opened the door, seeing that it was Qin Yuan who came, he looked embarrassed and guilty, and respectfully invited Qin Yuan to enter the room and take a seat.
Qin Yuan handed the secret play map to Fang Ding.
Fang Ding was stunned when he saw the name of the book, and after confirming from Qin Yuan's gaze that he had read nothing wrong, he respectfully opened the book to read it, and was surprised by the content drawn on the page.
Fang Ding closed his eyes subconsciously, hurriedly closed the book, then bowed to Qin Yuan in fear, and asked Qin Yuan's purpose for showing him the book.
"This book is related to your Alien League, and you have never heard of it?" Qin Yuan asked.
Fang Ding shook his head, "I'm just a young man in the Alien League. I really want to help Qin Shaoqing once, but I really don't know about it."
Qin Yuan asked Fang Ding again if he knew if there was a prophet in the Alien League.
Fang Ding was stunned for a moment, "Although I don't know, this kind of person probably exists. I heard that there have been prophets in the Alien League before."
Qin Yuan agreed, and the other party bowed his hands and said goodbye.
Fang Ding got up guiltily, and suddenly knelt down for Qin Yuan.
"It was my vicious thoughts that hurt Qin Shaoqing, but Qin Shaoqing didn't care about me, and even begged the government to let me out." Fang Ding kowtowed to Qin Yuan tearfully, feeling guilty.
"You still have a wife and children at home, so don't provoke them by crying loudly. This is not what you want. You did all this just to save your life. I can understand." Qin Yuan said, "But you should be punished for making mistakes, not It was I who begged the government to let you out, and it was your luck to catch up with the sage and amnesty the world."
Fang Ding understood that the reason why Qin Yuan said this was just to make him feel better.Fang Ding kowtowed to Qin Yuan again and again, "We have made up our minds, we will move back to our hometown in two days, and become a teacher if possible."
"You are the master of the Hongwen Museum, so it is easy to teach."
After bidding farewell to Fang Ding, Qin Yuan went to the No. [-] Restaurant and asked the owner of the restaurant, Sui Fengyun, to help him check the "key evidence" of the case. Qin Yuan then handed over the secret play map to Sui Fengyun.
After seeing the book cover, Sui Fengyun was surprised for a long time.Sui Feng looked at Qin Yuan suspiciously: "Qin Shaoqing, this is—"
"You are not mistaken, it is this book, have you seen it?" Qin Yuan asked Sui Fengyun.
Sui Fengyun immediately shook his head, expressing that he had never seen it before.
Qin Yuan waited for a while, and seeing that Sui Fengyun did not speak, he said to Sui Fengyun: "Look at the content, maybe you have seen the content inside."
Sui Fengyun opened the book, and after reading two pages, he hurriedly closed the book and told Qin Yuan firmly that he had never seen this book.
"Did you know that someone can predict?" Qin Yuan also asked Sui Fengyun all the questions he had asked Fang Ding.
Sui Fengyun shook his head, "I don't know if there are any prophets, I have never seen them before."
Qin Yuan nodded, chatted a few words before leaving, and told Sui Fengyun that he would be distracted from looking for the shopkeeper again.
"That's right, that shopkeeper Zhuang almost killed me. This time I absolutely dare not look for it from outside, so I plan to choose a replacement from among the old guys who have been working for a long time."
Qin Yuan praised Sui Fengyun for being more cautious.
After saying goodbye to him, Qin Yuan took the secret play map to the most famous brothel in Chang'an, Chunfengfang.
In the private room, Qin Yuan called the madam of the brothel alone, and after solemnly explaining her identity, she ordered the madam to check the 'clues to solve the case'.When the bustard saw the book, she was startled, and then looked at Qin Yuan to confirm.
Qin Yuan asked her to read the content.
After flipping through two pages, the madam, the madam, asked Qin Yuan cautiously and with great doubts: "This...is this...evidence?"
"But what case will use this thing as evidence?"
The madam pondered for a while, then knelt down and clarified to Qin Yuan that they had never had this kind of album in their brothel, "If there is a murder and this thing is left on the scene, it really... really has nothing to do with us, please Qin Shaoqing Mingjian."
The old bustard felt that since he was able to work on the case personally investigated by Shaoqing of Dali Temple, it must not be a small case, and it should probably be a murder case.
Qin Yuan dismissed the bustard.
When Qin Yuan rode his horse to the gate of his house, a group of people from the next door came back on horseback.The figure of the leader is extraordinary, and his appearance is imposing.After these people stopped at Changsun's Mansion, they noticed Zhang Wang from Qin Yuan next door.
Not long after, these people rode to Qin Yuan.Because the night was dark and the distance between the two houses was relatively far, Qin Yuan was not sure who this person was at first, but he had guesses in his heart.Now that the person is approaching, Qin Yuan can see clearly that it is indeed Changsun Wuji's eldest son, Changsun Chong.
After the eldest grandson got off his horse, he respectfully greeted Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan's eyeballs moved, and he called his eldest grandson to come closer, and asked him if he would cooperate with his investigation.
Chang Sunchong nodded curiously, asking Qin Yuan what the case was and what he could do to help.
"It's a big deal, but you'd better not tell your father."
After Qin Yuan finished speaking, he smiled and took out "Four Fields Secret Opera Picture" from his sleeve, and handed it to Changsun Chong.
Qin Yuan looked back, but saw nothing.
The shadow had long before that, flashed by, and disappeared.
"Ghost...Ghost?" Qin Qiong pointed to the main room behind Qin Yuan, seeing Qin Yuan looking at him with disbelief, Qin Qiong turned to Wen Yanbo and Changsun Wuji to confirm, "You all saw it too, right? "
Wen Yanbo nodded immediately, and gave a low "hmm".It's not that Wen Yanbo is pretending to be deep, it's that his heart is beating so fast now, he is a pure literati, and his courage is not comparable to those who have fought on the battlefield like Changsun Wuji and Qin Qiong.So now Wen Yanbo was surprised and couldn't say much.
Changsun Wuji collected himself and tried his best to pretend to be very calm and indifferent.
"Perhaps I missed it."
"The three of us saw it at the same time, can it be called blind? This is called seeing." Qin Qiong corrected the elder Sun Wuji's words, and said to Qin Yuan earnestly, "Brother said that this house is haunted, I didn't lie to you. Okay. Brother, hurry up, don't just stay here, go live at the elder brother's house, and later elder brother will help you ask His Majesty for a new mansion."
After Qin Qiong finished speaking, he went to pull Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan told Qin Qiong not to make trouble, and poured wine for Qin Qiong, laughed and said: "I know you guys colluded to deceive me deliberately, and I'm really afraid of being fooled? I'll be angry if you make trouble again, hurry up and drink, don't waste this A good table."
Qin Qiong seriously explained that she didn't lie to Qin Yuan, what a ghost, Wen Yanbo also agreed at this time and told Qin Yuan that she didn't lie to him.Qin Yuan still didn't believe it, and told them not to scare him anymore.
Qin Yuan raised his glass and said: "Thank you three virtuous brothers for taking care of me during this time, I will do it first as a respect."
After Qin Yuan finished speaking, he drank the wine in one gulp.
The three of them looked at each other twice, their hospitality was undeniable, and they also raised their glasses to drink.
Alcohol makes people courageous, and after a few glasses of wine, the three of them didn't care so much about the shadow that appeared before.Perhaps the shadow was accidental, and some other explanation would make sense.
"Meow--"
The black-and-white cat ran out of the house at this time.
Changsun Wuji, Qin Qiong and Wen Yanbo all heaved a sigh of relief.
Then the four of them ate and chatted around the table to their heart's content, during which Qin Yuan walked away once.
Qin Yuan spit out the few sips of wine he drank before in time.His reaction to eating human things is not as strong as it was at the beginning, and it is not uncomfortable when he vomits.Qin Yuan felt that this might have something to do with his reduced appetite after he was promoted.Perhaps one day, he will be able to freely taste the delicacy of the world without having to eat the food from the farm.
An hour later, everyone was full, and Zai Qin Yuan happily poured wine for them again as a farewell.
Suddenly a window opened in the main room, and the north wind blew out several lamps in the room.
Suddenly, a white-clothed ghost with disheveled hair slowly moved from the room towards the open main hall door, and was also moving in the direction of Changsun Wuji, Qin Qiong and Wen Yanbo.
When the white-clothed ghost walked to the door, he suddenly raised his head, and under the light of the red light hung high under the porch, his pale face bleeding from seven orifices flashed past, which was particularly terrifying.
Wen Yanbo was the first to see it and stood up.Changsun Wuji and Qin Qiong were attracted attention afterward, followed by looking over, both of them dropped their wine bowls and got up.
"Ghost—" Qin Qiong pointed again.
"Ah?" Qin Yuan turned his head, and the ghost suddenly disappeared again.
Changsun Wuji drew out the saber from his waist, called his subordinates, and went straight to the main hall. A group of people searched the main hall for a while, but they didn't see any ghosts.
"What are you looking for? Ghosts naturally come and go without a trace. Where can you find them?" Qin Qiong pinched the amulet hanging around her neck, took a look into the room, and immediately retracted her neck and retreated.
Qin Yuan followed, and asked what they were doing with a puzzled expression, "You're full, and you're starting to joke with me again?"
Qin Yuan specially accompanied the attendants, and the attendants all shook their heads, indicating that they didn't see it.
Both Qin Qiong and Wen Yanbo were helpless.
"They are all standing far away on both sides, so they can't see them naturally." Changsun Wuji said to Qin Yuan, "I will warn you one last time, we are not joking, do you believe it or not?"
Qin Yuan: "Resolutely not to be fooled."
Changsun Wuji took a special look at Qin Yuan, seeing that he was still giggling and ignorant of anything, he felt a little guilty in his heart.He shouldn't be tempted to suggest that Li Shimin give this house to Qin Yuan.But it doesn't matter, you can let him live in his own house for the time being, and then he will find a chance to hire Qin Yuan a better mansion again.
"Forget it, I'll be next door when something happens, whether you knock on the door or climb over the wall, come here anytime." After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, he cupped his hands and bid farewell to Qin Yuan.
Seeing this, Wen Yanbo and Qin Qiong also knew that Qin Yuan had lost his mind.The two also hurriedly said goodbye to Qin Yuan, emphasizing again and again that they were not joking with him, and asked Qin Yuan to take care.
The three left in a hurry, Qin Yuan smiled and waved off.
"Go well, go well, go well!"
Qin Yuan turned around and entered the main hall, and looked around the beam, but he really didn't see anyone.
Fang Xi on the beam heard Qin Yuan's call and moved a bit, and then vaguely saw the shortest beam at the top, and a man in black was lying on it.Because of the high position and the very thin stature of this person, he was lying motionless on the beam in the dark place at the top, so the people below could hardly tell who was there.
The servant put the ladder on Fang Xi, and Fang Xi climbed down from the height, and came to salute Qin Yuan with a smile. He was holding a bulging leather man in his arms.
Qin Yuan repeatedly praised Fang Xi's promise, "It's very capable to hide it from those three."
After Fang Xi got the reward, he thanked Qin Yuan happily, and said to Qin Yuan: "I have brought someone to clean up and down the dormitory, scrubbed it with pomelo leaf water, smoked wormwood, and invited a few A talisman to ward off evil spirits."
Fang Xi asked Qin Yuan if he wanted to paste these talisman papers.
"No need."
Because Qin Yuan succeeded in frightening Changsun Wuji and the others, he happily hummed a ditty after taking a bath, and then lay down on the couch to rest.
After midnight, Qin Yuan was very sleepy and soon fell asleep.
what--
A piercing cry of emotion suddenly cut through the silent night sky, waking Qin Yuan up.
Qin Yuan sat up and listened carefully.
Whoa whoa—
The voice came from the backyard, like crying, but a little short of breath.In such a quiet and late night, it was especially scary to hear this kind of sound coming from the desolate backyard.
At this time, Qin Yuan felt footsteps outside the door and hurriedly asked who it was, Fang Xi answered, and then pushed the door open to enter.
"Mr. Lang, I heard that there were crying sounds. I was worried that Mr. Lang was in trouble, so I went to take a look with Cai Yang."
Qin Yuan saw that Cai Yang also came in afterward, both of them were only wearing obscene clothes, it seemed that both of them were awakened from their deep sleep.
After Qin Yuan put on some clothes, he asked for a lantern, and he wanted to take the lantern to the backyard to have a look.Fang Xi and Cai Yang were worried, they hurried to get dressed, and wanted to go with Qin Yuan.At this time, the other servants in the courtyard were also awakened by the crying. Someone saw Qin Yuan coming out and called out, and everyone quickly followed him, wanting to go with Qin Yuan.
Fang Xi and Cai Yang had been in charge of Zhuangzi before, after Qin Yuan got the house, he called them to be responsible for cleaning and arranging the new house.Because Qin Yuan treated the two of them kindly, Fang Xi and Cai Yang also treated the hundreds of handymen who were rewarded later by Li Shimin with kindness.Although these handymen have only been here for only three days, under the guidance of Fang Xi and Cai Yang, everyone knows that Mr. Lang is a very good person, so at this moment everyone is worried about Mr. Lang's safety.
If something happens to Mr. Lang, the good times of these people will come to an end, but this kind of thing must not be allowed to happen.
There are many people and great strength, and they vowed to protect Qin Langjun's integrity.
Ah, ah, ah, ah——
The terrifying cry came again.
In order to avoid man-made troubles, Qin Yuan ordered Fang Xi to count the number of people on the spot.
"Lang Jun, we're all here." Fang Xi said.
"You are all waiting here. If there are too many people, it will only add to the chaos." Qin Yuan wants to see what this ghost is like.
Qin Yuan took Fang Xi and Cai Yang to the desolate backyard of the mansion. This area is relatively large, and the garden is overgrown with weeds. It would take a lot of time to tidy up and repair it, so it has not been moved here for the past three days.
The path paved with stone slabs in the back garden has been crowded with grass on both sides of the road. When people walk by, the long grass scrapes their clothes and makes a rattling sound.
Qin Yuan took the lantern to a house near the lake, and the crying sounded again.
"It seems to be here." Fang Xi pointed to the dark room.
Qin Yuan carried the lantern and headed towards the house, when a gust of cold wind blew past.Fang Xi and Cai Yang shrank their necks and supported each other. Although they were afraid in their hearts, they didn't flinch because they had their husband in front of them.
There is a small yard in front of the house. There are fish tanks on the left and right, but they are already very old. There is some water in the tank, and a few weeds grow sporadically in the water.The water should have accumulated from the torrential rain that fell a few days ago.Due to the age, some dust and dirt have accumulated in the original tank, so grass will grow.
The wood of the doors and windows is faded and slightly cracked.Qin Yuan pushed the door and found that the door was locked with three locks, and there were still traces of yellow paper near the lock.
"The talisman paper pasted here before has rotted after a long time." Cai Yang frowned after looking carefully, "Why are there so many locks?"
Qin Yuan saw that the lock was rusted, so he asked Cai Yang to find a stone and smash the lock.
After two bang bang bangs, there was a sudden rustling sound in the room.
Both Cai Yang and Fang Xi raised their hearts to their throats in fright.
Qin Yuan kicked open the door and rushed in, carrying a lantern to check the environment inside the house.
There was a strong smell of stagnant damp in the room, like the smell of rotten wood after the rain.The tables, chairs and other things in the hall are very neat, but they are covered with dust and cobwebs. Going to the inner room, there are still bedding on the bed, and the hanging curtains are still in good condition.
There was a black mark hanging on the curtain on the left side of the bed, like blood sprayed on it, which had turned black over time.
"This is blood." Fang Xi whispered to Cai Yang beside him with fear in his voice.
Cai Yang nodded, he thought so too.
Ah, ah, ah——
There were a few short cries again, coming from the rear window!
Qin Yuan kicked open the back window, went out, and found that a large wall of the backyard had collapsed, and there were weeds blown up and down by the storm everywhere.The night was quiet, and when I looked around, I didn't see anything unusual.
Ah, ah, ah——
The cry came from farther away.
"Sure enough, it's a ghost. Otherwise, how could it be screaming here for a while, and then running to such a far away place in an instant?" Cai Yang asked with a trembling voice.
Qin Yuan and the others continued to chase after the call, but they still found nothing in the end.
"When it's dawn, you bring people to the backyard to clean up. If you don't have enough manpower, ask someone to help. In short, clean up the yard as soon as possible. I'd like to see how it will be tomorrow night." Qin Yuan ordered, and called Yawned, went back to sleep.
An hour later, Qin Yuan had to get up sleepily and went to Dali Temple in a daze.
Seeing that Qin Yuan was so tired, Changsun Wuji asked him if he didn't sleep well last night.
"Yeah." Qin Yuan took a pear from his sleeve and ate it, he hadn't finished his breakfast yet.
Changsun Wuji raised his eyebrows and looked at Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan thought for a while, took out another pear from his sleeve, and handed it to Zhangsun Wuji.
After Changsun Wuji got it in his hand, he hesitated for a moment and asked Qin Yuan, "Will you wash it?"
"Anyway, it's clean." Qin Yuan finished a pear in two or three bites. Seeing that Changsun Wuji was still hesitating about the pear in his hand, he summoned the little official and ordered him to help Changsun Wuji wash the pear.
Changsun Wuji was very happy after eating the sweet pear, and asked Qin Yuan with a smile what happened to him last night.
"Did you see a ghost at noon? Do you know we didn't lie to you last night?"
"I didn't see it, but I heard crying in the backyard." Qin Yuan replied.
"You should hurry to live at my house, why insist on staying there?" Changsun Wuji questioned.
"Golden nest and silver nest are not as good as your own haunted house. After all, it is my own home, whatever you want." Qin Yuan reassured Changsun Wuji, "If there is a ghost, I must discuss it with the ghost if I see it, and ask him to move a little bit. Go to the next door to make trouble. The next door has money and status, and the family has what they want, which is much better than my miserable place."
"The heart of a wolf!" Changsun Wuji scolded.
"Really, I don't know what you did? You must have contributed to my getting this ghost house, and you're pretending to be kind to me right now." Qin Yuan retorted.
Changsun Wuji was silent, it was indeed he who made the matter worse, it was not his original intention.
"If you really feel at a loss, lend me some people to help me repair the back garden." Qin Yuan saw that the elder Sun Wuji was really embarrassed, and smiled and let him go down the steps.
Changsun Wuji hardly hesitated, after agreeing, he sent a message to order people in the mansion to help Qin Yuan, and told Qin Yuan that he could pay all the repair expenses.
"Then I will build two more pavilions and waterside pavilions." Qin Yuan sighed.
"Anything you want." Changsun Wuji naturally didn't care about such a small amount of money.
Qin Yuan took another pear from his sleeve and ate it.
Changsun Wuji looked at Qin Yuan silently.After Qin Yuan finished eating the pear, and took the pear out of his sleeve again, Changsun Wuji couldn't help it anymore, he got up and walked towards Qin Yuan.
Seeing Changsun Wuji's approaching menacingly, Qin Yuan was so frightened that he got up and dodged, and asked him why.
"Today I want to see how many universes you have in your sleeves, so stop!"
Qin Yuan sprinted, fled to the window, jumped over the window and ran away.
The little officials at the gate were startled, they didn't expect Qin Shaoqing to be able to jump out of the window.Just as he was amazed and wondering, he saw Changsun Gong open the door and go out to chase people. After a while, he saw Changsun Gong come back angrily, shaking his sleeves.
Changsun Wuji ordered the little official to stand guard in front of Qin Yuan's house from now on, and to notify him as soon as he came back.
The little official understood that grandson Gong failed to catch up with Qin Shaoqing again and again.
The eldest grandson is so pitiful, he can't catch up every time, and every time he is angry.And when I see Qin Shaoqing next time, I still can't express my temper.
Why do you bother yourself so much?
The petty officials saw things more thoroughly than Changsun Wuji, but they still obediently carried out orders from their superiors, so they waited obediently at the door of Qin Shaoqing's house.
Qin Yuan entered the palace, and accompanied Tuli Khan to meet Li Shimin with Wen Yanbo.
After Tuli Khan saluted Li Shimin respectfully, he explained the purpose of this visit.He wanted to ask Datang to send troops to help him deal with his uncle Jieli Khan.
Turks were initially ruled by Tuli Khan's father, Shibi Khan. When Shibi Khan died, Tuli Khan was too young to be in power, so his uncle Chuluo Khan took over.Turkic Khan was arranged by his uncle in eastern Turkic.Two years later, Chuluo Khan passed away, and the position of Khan was inherited by another uncle of Tuli Khan, Jieli Khan, who still served as a small khan in eastern Turkic.
Later, because three of Tuli Khan's subordinates refused to accept discipline and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, Jieli Khan despised Tuli Khan for his incompetence, and after several months of imprisonment, Tuli Khan was released before being released.Therefore, Tuli Khan hated Jieli Khan, and the two sides have been fighting each other ever since.Now Tuli Khan came to Datang to ask Li Shimin for help to help him deal with Jieli Khan.
"As long as I defeat my uncle and let me whip him a few times for revenge, I'm willing to surrender to Datang!" Tuli Khan expressed his heart to Li Shimin simply and straightforwardly.
Li Shimin welcomed Tuli Khan with a smile, and gave him a royal meal.
Tuli Khan liked Datang's food very much, and praised its deliciousness again and again.
When Tuli Khan drank, he saw that the color of the wine was mellow and bright red. After careful identification, it seemed to have a fruity taste, and he asked Li Shimin what kind of wine it was.After learning that it was cherry wine, Tuli Khan liked it very much, and sighed that it was the best cherry wine he had ever drunk in his life.
Tuli Khan smiled heartily and said to Li Shimin: "If I drink this fruit wine every day, then I would rather not go back to Turkic."
Fang Xuanling and other ministers accompanying him couldn't help laughing, and sighed that Tuli Khan was "unfortunate to leave".
Tuli Khan immediately waved his hand and explained to Fang Xuanling: "No, no, I'm not happy, and I don't think about rats. I don't like rats. The gray fluffy ones steal people's food. It's too annoying. !"
Everyone laughed again when they heard the words.Li Shimin lamented that Tuli Khan was the second person who could make him so happy just by talking.
After understanding the explanation of the words, Tuli Khan knew that he had misunderstood, smiled awkwardly and scratched his head, then stretched his neck and asked Li Shimin, who is the other person who can make him laugh just by talking.
Li Shimin glanced at Qin Yuan, and told Tuli Khan that this delicious cherry wine was made by Qin Yuan.
Tuli Khan looked at Qin Yuan in surprise: "Let me just say, when I first met Qin Shaoqing, I knew he must be different. Someone who can suddenly be promoted so quickly in the Tang Dynasty within a few months must be extraordinary." Ability. Today I finally know what your extraordinary ability is."
Fang Xuanling and other ministers hurriedly asked what Tuli Khan was.
"Of course he knows how to make wine!" Tuli Khan said, "If such good wine is produced in our Turkic state, I will definitely give it to Qin Shaoqing as the biggest official."
Li Shimin and others laughed again.
Qin Yuan also laughed and raised his glass to Tuli Khan.
After the meal, Li Shimin ordered Wen Yanbo to lure Tuli Khan out of the palace, and immediately discussed with Fang Xuanling and other ministers about Tuli Khan asking Datang for help, and whether Datang should send troops to assist him.
Several ministers insisted on their own opinions, and Qin Yuan did not get involved. This kind of matter will be discussed sooner or later. With Li Shimin's wisdom, there will be no problem with the decision he made.
Qin Yuan was very curious, seeing Tuli Khan this time, why Li Shimin didn't call Changsun Wuji to come.In the past, no matter how big or small the court was, there would always be the figure of Changsun Wuji.
The discussion finally ended temporarily with 'discussion later', Li Shimin left Qin Yuan alone, and asked whether he had any results in the case of Hu Yunu and Zhou Cairen.
"This case is still under investigation." Qin Yuan said to Li Shimin.
"But I heard that you didn't go to the harem to investigate the case." Li Shimin's serious eyes suddenly focused on Qin Yuan, obviously unhappy.
"I think the key to this case is where the poison Hu Yunu took came from. Finding out the source of the poison will almost solve the case."
Qin Yuan told Li Shimin that he had asked the palace servants to pass a message to Empress Changsun, and asked Empress Changsun to send someone to monitor Zhou Cairen and those around Hu Yunv, and to protect the crime scene and Hu Yunv's residence.Qin Yuan spent the past two days investigating the backgrounds of the palace servants around Zhou Cairen and Hu Yunu, and wanted to see if any of these people had a poisonous background.
After all, it is a forbidden place in the deep palace, so it is not easy for Qin Yuan to go there often. He wants to wait until everything is ready before going.
Li Shimin lamented that Qin Yuan was thoughtful.
Li Shimin was quite relieved that Qin Yuan could act cautiously like this.
When it came to the source of the poison, Li Shimin suddenly thought of the imperial hospital, almost only the imperial physicians in the palace could get the poison.
Qin Yuan: "I have already checked Hu Yunv's pulse diagnosis. She has been in good health for the past six months and has never seen an imperial physician."
Li Shimin suddenly thought of something, "Zhou Cairen has often asked for pulse recently, and the imperial doctor who saw him was her own relative. In this way, the more we investigate, the more suspicious Zhou Cairen becomes."
Qin Yuan is silent, there is no evidence now, it is still unclear who is more suspected.
"Could it really be that Zhou Cairen did this? She expected that I would protect him, so she made such a bold move?" Li Shimin began to speculate on various possibilities.
Qin Yuan pondered and said: "Only when people are desperate, will they choose to die and survive. Zhou Cairen is not without a way out. I thought it would be too risky for her to gamble with this. But when things have not been verified Before, this possibility was not ruled out."
Li Shimin thought it made sense, and he told Qin Yuan to investigate the case seriously and quickly.In the past two days, Hu Yushi has been participating non-stop. Although Li Shimin has ordered Shuxing to temporarily hold Hu Yushi's memorial, it is only temporary.If there is no progress in the case after a long time, Hu Yushi will surely break into Liangyi Hall confidently and ask him to execute Zhou Cairen.
Qin Yuan promised, please rest assured that Li Shimin will deal with this case as soon as possible.
After Qin Yuan left the palace and before he arrived at Dali Temple, a subordinate of Tuli Khan caught up with his carriage and invited Qin Yuan to go out for a drink for his Khan.
Qin Yuan guessed that this Tuli Khan was probably eyeing his cherry wine, no matter what his purpose was, he really didn't have time to take care of it now, so he declined it on the grounds of his busy schedule.
Qin Yuan obtained the map of Pingyang County because of his deliberation on "The Map of Four Fields", and sent several officials to Pingyang County to investigate the situation.
Just after noon, the investigating officials returned to Dali Temple to report.They told Qin Yuan that when they inspected Pingyang County, they didn't find anything special.They also looked around the three mountains on the map, but found nothing unusual.I carefully asked the people living nearby, and the answer was the same, and nothing unusual happened locally.
"Why do you think there is no location marked on this map?" Dai Zhou asked Qin Yuan suspiciously.
Qin Yuan turned out the "Picture of Secret Plays in the Four Fields", and when he got to the last page, he found that the paper was not neat near the edge of the book, and only when he looked carefully could he find that the pages had been torn.
"No wonder, there was a page missing." Dai Zhou followed up and noticed, "Then who tore this page?"
Qin Yuan found a painter and gave him the "Secret Plays in the Four Fields" and asked him to draw a new book that was almost the same as the one in the book.Because the original book has already been pierced by him with a needle, if someone with a heart sees it, maybe they will understand it.
The artist in Dali Temple usually paints the most portraits of wanted criminals. He has all kinds of wanted criminals, so he has all the knowledge.But like Qin Shaoqing, asking him to paint erotic palaces is really the first time since he became an official.
The painter agreed awkwardly, picked up his pen and started his most difficult painting task.Unexpectedly, Qin Shaoqing did not leave, but leaned against the table, eating pears while watching him draw.It can be heard that the pear is very crisp, and the crackling sound is very loud when biting, and it is also very attractive.
The painter swallowed secretly, Qin Shaoqing seemed to have accurately noticed this scene.
Qin Yuan took out a pear from his sleeve, put it on the table, and told the artist to reward him with the pear when he finished the painting.
The artist suddenly had the feeling of 'I am a disobedient child being coaxed by the elders with small things', but this trick is easy to use, the artist does not care about the hot content on the secret play picture, bowing his head very seriously and full of energy drawing.
"You have to move the two of them here." Qin Yuan pointed his finger.
The painter was stunned: "But if this is the case, the two of them will be in the water. They were just by the stream."
"It's okay, it's not a problem, it's more exciting in the water, isn't it?"
Qin Shaoqing had a calm and gentle appearance, but his words were astonishing.
The artist couldn't stand the stimulation, his hand shook, and the ink dripped on the album.Reluctantly, he took down the drawing paper and prepared to draw again, while wiping the cold sweat from his head with his hands.
After Changsun Wuji heard the news of Qin Yuan's return, he immediately came to Qin Yuan.When he came in, he just heard the conversation between Qin Yuan and the painter.
More exciting in the water?Stimulate what?
Changsun Wuji stepped forward and saw clearly that Qin Yuan was personally instructing the painter how to draw pornographic pictures.Changsun Wuji turned to look at Qin Yuan in surprise, wanting to ask what was going on in Qin Yuan's head.
But Changsun Wuji hadn't spoken yet, Qin Yuan signaled Changsun Wuji with his eyes that he was doing business.
Changsun Wuji naturally had nothing to say, so he asked him to restrain himself, "If it's a business, don't eat pears, you're not serious."
Qin Yuan just took out a pear from his sleeve and handed it to Changsun Wuji. After hearing this, Qin Yuan hesitated to stop.Changsun Wuji took the pear first.
"This is not an example." Changsun Wuji handed the pear to his subordinates and ordered him to wash it before bringing it to himself.
After a while, the room turned into two people eating pears and watching the painter draw alone.Qin Yuan still didn't change his old habit, and used his hands to guide the artist where to paint from time to time.
Changsun Wuji occasionally joined in the fun and began to offer opinions.
The painter was very frightened, and finally finished the painting before dusk, sweating profusely.
After Qin Yuan received the mounted album, he praised the artist, bid farewell to Changsun Wuji, and left in a hurry.
The painter finally got the pear on the table, full of emotions in his heart.
It's not easy!not easy!
Bite into a pear, the crunchy sweetness is intoxicating, and the refreshing and pleasant sweetness spreads from the tip of his tongue to the whole body. The artist feels that his afternoon's work was not in vain, it was worth it!
Changsun Wuji went back to the house with a pear in his hand, the little official rushed over and asked Changsun Wuji if he had taught Qin Shaoqing a lesson.
Changsun Wuji's eyes froze for a moment, but his face remained calm, scolding the little official for talking too much.The little official hurriedly slapped himself, and resigned embarrassingly.
Changsun Wuji turned his back on everyone and closed his eyes against the wall.Is he getting old recently and has such a bad memory?He seems to have forgotten the purpose of looking for Qin Yuan.
……
Qin Yuan went to find Fang Ding with the newly drawn "Picture of Secret Plays in the Four Fields".
After Fang Ding opened the door, seeing that it was Qin Yuan who came, he looked embarrassed and guilty, and respectfully invited Qin Yuan to enter the room and take a seat.
Qin Yuan handed the secret play map to Fang Ding.
Fang Ding was stunned when he saw the name of the book, and after confirming from Qin Yuan's gaze that he had read nothing wrong, he respectfully opened the book to read it, and was surprised by the content drawn on the page.
Fang Ding closed his eyes subconsciously, hurriedly closed the book, then bowed to Qin Yuan in fear, and asked Qin Yuan's purpose for showing him the book.
"This book is related to your Alien League, and you have never heard of it?" Qin Yuan asked.
Fang Ding shook his head, "I'm just a young man in the Alien League. I really want to help Qin Shaoqing once, but I really don't know about it."
Qin Yuan asked Fang Ding again if he knew if there was a prophet in the Alien League.
Fang Ding was stunned for a moment, "Although I don't know, this kind of person probably exists. I heard that there have been prophets in the Alien League before."
Qin Yuan agreed, and the other party bowed his hands and said goodbye.
Fang Ding got up guiltily, and suddenly knelt down for Qin Yuan.
"It was my vicious thoughts that hurt Qin Shaoqing, but Qin Shaoqing didn't care about me, and even begged the government to let me out." Fang Ding kowtowed to Qin Yuan tearfully, feeling guilty.
"You still have a wife and children at home, so don't provoke them by crying loudly. This is not what you want. You did all this just to save your life. I can understand." Qin Yuan said, "But you should be punished for making mistakes, not It was I who begged the government to let you out, and it was your luck to catch up with the sage and amnesty the world."
Fang Ding understood that the reason why Qin Yuan said this was just to make him feel better.Fang Ding kowtowed to Qin Yuan again and again, "We have made up our minds, we will move back to our hometown in two days, and become a teacher if possible."
"You are the master of the Hongwen Museum, so it is easy to teach."
After bidding farewell to Fang Ding, Qin Yuan went to the No. [-] Restaurant and asked the owner of the restaurant, Sui Fengyun, to help him check the "key evidence" of the case. Qin Yuan then handed over the secret play map to Sui Fengyun.
After seeing the book cover, Sui Fengyun was surprised for a long time.Sui Feng looked at Qin Yuan suspiciously: "Qin Shaoqing, this is—"
"You are not mistaken, it is this book, have you seen it?" Qin Yuan asked Sui Fengyun.
Sui Fengyun immediately shook his head, expressing that he had never seen it before.
Qin Yuan waited for a while, and seeing that Sui Fengyun did not speak, he said to Sui Fengyun: "Look at the content, maybe you have seen the content inside."
Sui Fengyun opened the book, and after reading two pages, he hurriedly closed the book and told Qin Yuan firmly that he had never seen this book.
"Did you know that someone can predict?" Qin Yuan also asked Sui Fengyun all the questions he had asked Fang Ding.
Sui Fengyun shook his head, "I don't know if there are any prophets, I have never seen them before."
Qin Yuan nodded, chatted a few words before leaving, and told Sui Fengyun that he would be distracted from looking for the shopkeeper again.
"That's right, that shopkeeper Zhuang almost killed me. This time I absolutely dare not look for it from outside, so I plan to choose a replacement from among the old guys who have been working for a long time."
Qin Yuan praised Sui Fengyun for being more cautious.
After saying goodbye to him, Qin Yuan took the secret play map to the most famous brothel in Chang'an, Chunfengfang.
In the private room, Qin Yuan called the madam of the brothel alone, and after solemnly explaining her identity, she ordered the madam to check the 'clues to solve the case'.When the bustard saw the book, she was startled, and then looked at Qin Yuan to confirm.
Qin Yuan asked her to read the content.
After flipping through two pages, the madam, the madam, asked Qin Yuan cautiously and with great doubts: "This...is this...evidence?"
"But what case will use this thing as evidence?"
The madam pondered for a while, then knelt down and clarified to Qin Yuan that they had never had this kind of album in their brothel, "If there is a murder and this thing is left on the scene, it really... really has nothing to do with us, please Qin Shaoqing Mingjian."
The old bustard felt that since he was able to work on the case personally investigated by Shaoqing of Dali Temple, it must not be a small case, and it should probably be a murder case.
Qin Yuan dismissed the bustard.
When Qin Yuan rode his horse to the gate of his house, a group of people from the next door came back on horseback.The figure of the leader is extraordinary, and his appearance is imposing.After these people stopped at Changsun's Mansion, they noticed Zhang Wang from Qin Yuan next door.
Not long after, these people rode to Qin Yuan.Because the night was dark and the distance between the two houses was relatively far, Qin Yuan was not sure who this person was at first, but he had guesses in his heart.Now that the person is approaching, Qin Yuan can see clearly that it is indeed Changsun Wuji's eldest son, Changsun Chong.
After the eldest grandson got off his horse, he respectfully greeted Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan's eyeballs moved, and he called his eldest grandson to come closer, and asked him if he would cooperate with his investigation.
Chang Sunchong nodded curiously, asking Qin Yuan what the case was and what he could do to help.
"It's a big deal, but you'd better not tell your father."
After Qin Yuan finished speaking, he smiled and took out "Four Fields Secret Opera Picture" from his sleeve, and handed it to Changsun Chong.
