Chapter 657: Master of the Tomb
It rained all night, and finally on the morning of the fourth day, it was lighter.
"Girl, did you say that the rain is going to stop?" Dongmei opened the window to ventilate, and expelled the musty smell that had accumulated in the room due to the rain. As soon as she opened the window, she saw the rain, so she asked Jiang Chengzi, who had just gotten up and freshened up in front of the mirror.
Jiang Chengzi only glanced out the window, the sky was not good, but the rain was lighter.
"It's too early to see. Jiang Chengzi replied.
"On this day, it looks like the rain is about to stop. "I haven't been idle in the past few days, and Mama Zhang, who has been conducting various investigations on the big and small maids in the mansion, happened to come in to restore her life, so she interjected.
"Really?" asked Abi.
"It's time to stop before evening when it gets dark. Zhang's mother said very firmly.
"I hope so. Jiang Chengzi didn't want to discuss the rain, so he only replied lightly.
Zhang's mother is very good at observing words and feelings, so she immediately changed the topic and said, "Girl, in the past few days, I have checked the origin of the tomb. Everyone remembers that before we moved in, this side is the theme of orchid, and several people who decorate it said that the girl's building is just more elegant, and it is decorated with flowers. At that time, an old gardener said that the sunshine here was a good place to raise orchids, so he turned this yard into an orchid garden. β
Jiang Chengzi's heart sank, did he start calculating before moving in?
"Can the old gardener be found?" Jiang Chengzi asked.
"Hui Yu girl, the old gardener is the old style of the water mill pavilion flower garden in the south of the city, it is said that this flower garden has cultivated a lot of famous flowers, and the famous craftsmen of the palace garden have learned from him. This person is especially good at raising orchids. What orchids the palace wants, the palace gardeners personally go to the water mill pavilion flower garden to select. On the same day, because of the decoration of the Orchid Garden, the person in charge of the Prince's Mansion went to the Water Mill Pavilion to invite the old gardener. All these flowers were arranged at that time. Zhang's mother replied in a low voice.
"Is that a way to control this person?" Dongmei interjected.
Zhang's mother glanced at her and continued: "Girl, the old slave doesn't have this ability, and now I just want to ask the girl what to do?"
"Then who bought the florist maid in my Orchid Garden?" Jiang Chengzi didn't answer Zhang's mother, and asked directly.
Zhang's mother was stunned for a moment and said, "Girl, there are two florists and maids in Lanyuan, both of whom were run by the old slave and Aunt Sun. This aunt is the old grandmother of Madame's mother's family, and she wrote to her that after Madame's parents died, she was kicked out, and after a while with her son, he fell ill and died. She was very pitiful and sent a letter to Madame. So the lady sent for her. Last time, the girl dealt with a few maids here, so she went to buy a few new maids again. β
After Zhang's mother said that, her voice became smaller and quieter, because Jiang Chengzi's face became more and more ugly.
"Girlββ, old slaveβ" Zhang's mother only felt a chill down her spine.
"As I said, Aunt Sun is old and blessed in this mansion. How can she be contaminated with trivial matters at home?" Jiang Chengzi asked sharply.
Zhang's mother "pounced" on her knees, immediately fell to the ground, and shouted: "Girl, it's the old slave who is wrong, beg the girl to give the old slave a chance." β
"If you do it wrong, you do it wrong, are you embarrassed to call the sky and the earth like this?" Jiang Chengzi glanced at her.
"Yes. Zhang's mother quickly shut up and only lay on the ground.
"Dongmei, go and invite the two florists in charge of the flowers in the Orchid Garden to come in, and say that I asked them some tips on raising flowers. Jiang Chengzi said as he slowly pulled a bowl of osmanthus porridge with a spoon. Osmanthus porridge is made with rice, and the sun-dried osmanthus selected from last year is boiled together, and there are seasonal kimchi and smoked ham in small plates on the table, which are cut as thin as cicada wings.
After the two gardeners came in, when they saw Zhang's mother lying on the ground, they immediately felt a chill down their backs and saluted tremblingly.
Jiang Chengzi took a sip of osmanthus porridge slowly, and then casually asked some things about raising orchids.
The two little gardeners were scared at first, but then they let go and talked about raising orchids. Jiang Chengzi listened quietly, drank a bowl of osmanthus porridge, wiped his mouth, and suddenly said, "Where are you two from?"
"Returning to the girl, the maid is from Chang'an. β
"The servant is a person from Shuzhong. β
The two maids replied separately, Jiang Chengzi smiled, glanced at the two of them casually, and asked, "Really?"
"Yes. The two maids spoke in unison.
"Oh. Have you ever heard of me as an immortal master?" Jiang Chengzi suddenly asked.
The two florists and maidservants nodded and said, "The girl's deeds have spread far and wide, and the maid has heard about it long ago before she came to the Yang Mansion. β
"That's right. Jiang Chengzi had a soft smile on his face.
"Of course. One of the servants replied, and the other nodded.
"Do you think that the people who learn from the immortals are all bodhisattvas?" Jiang Chengzi still smiled.
"Of course, it is said that the girl is a fairy. If it weren't for the potatoes and sweet potatoes that the girl brought, this drought would have been starving. One of the servants replied.
Jiang Chengzi laughed and said, "Actually, you are wrong. Although I am a teacher of immortals, I am really not a bodhisattva. I have slain the Qiang people who are in rebellion in Shu. In the ancestral house of the Yang family, I killed the thief, and not long ago, in Shuofang City, I personally killed the thief Liang Shidu. If it's an evil person, I don't mind killing them directly. β
The two little maids pursed their lips and couldn't help but shrink back.
"Girl, you are right. A little maidservant answered.
"My master didn't give me a bodhisattva heart, but he gave me the ability to see through the wicked. When Jiang Chengzi said this, his eyes swept over sharply, and he said sharply, "Where did you two come from, and who instructed you?"
"Girl, we, we don't. The two maids knelt on the ground.
Jiang Chengzi sighed and said, "I am giving you a chance so that you can convince me not to kill you." In fact, if I want to investigate, on the day of the Tomb Li incident, I can directly find out who is behind the scenes. β
"Girl, we, we really don't. One of the maids said.
Jiang Chengzi didn't speak, and Dongmei on the side shouted: "You really don't know what to do, you think that if you miss today, the girl will give you a chance?" You are suspected of murdering the court officials, the future princess, and the fairy sent by God to benefit the people, each of which is a big crime. β
"Dongmei, needless to say, you ordered someone to bring all the orchids in this orchid garden and the pot of tombs. Jiang Chengzi commanded.
Originally, a few days ago, if she had checked it herself, she would have been able to find out soon. After all, she can communicate with plants. It's just that the plants can't tell who they are, so she has to let people find out the spectrum first, and then take these flowers to identify people.
Dongmei immediately set out to move the thirty potted orchids in the orchid garden and the tomb Li together.
Jiang Chengzi calmed down and said to those orchids: "Knowing that the tomb Li is pretending to be an orchid, you actually don't talk to me?"
The first pot of orchids whispered, "It didn't say it was pretending to be an orchid." Besides, it's harmless to us. β
"You don't know this is Orchid Garden?" Jiang Chengzi asked.
"Yes. The orchid continued to answer.
"Now that you know, you know that apart from some tall trees, there are only orchids. Jiang Chengzi said unhurriedly.
Hui Lan was speechless, and after a long while, she forced her words: "We don't know that it was originally a malicious one." Who knew that you humans were so complicated in the world, doing this kind of thing using our plants. β
Jiang Chengzi didn't care about them, and just said, "You really didn't know what Tomb Li did before?"
"We've never seen it before. When he saw that it looked like us, he thought it was our kind. After all, plants and trees are all over the world, and we don't know how many species there are in our Lan tribe. And it is very silent and rarely speaks. We only know that it is called Tomb Li. Hui Lan said a lot.
"Okay, so do you know when it came?" Jiang Chengzi asked.
"Come with us. It came when it was built. Hui Lan replied.
"Then it can live with you before?" Jiang Chengzi asked.
"It's together, it's not together. After saying such a thoughtless remark, Hui Lan continued, "It was just one day that it came to the flower garden, and we were all sent here. It is also true to say that it is not counted together, and it is also true to say that it is counted together. β
"Water Mill Pavilion Flower Garden?" Jiang Chengzi asked.
"Yes. That's where I grew up, and I was dying of illness, and the old man came back to life. Hui Lan became excited.
"Who brought the tomb?" Jiang Chengzi asked.
"Old man. Hui Lan replied.
"What about the little maid who takes care of the two of you?" Jiang Chengzi asked.
"I don't know. Hui Lan replied.
"I know. Another orchid replied.
"Where did you meet?" Jiang Chengzi asked.
"The night before we were sent here, the old man took some of the women to the flower room to see the orchids, and they were among them. Originally, I was quite happy to see them here. However, they are not as good as the girls who can understand us. The orchid said regretfully.
"In Orchid Garden, you are so self-conscious, if there are any special circumstances, don't talk to me, don't blame me for destroying flowers. Jiang Chengzi ended the conversation with a threat.
The orchids wailed, and Jiang Chengzi ignored it. He only smiled and asked the two maids: "Have you ever been to the Water Mill Pavilion Flower Garden, and what is the relationship with the old gardener of the Water Mill Pavilion Flower Garden?"
The two maids were stunned for a moment, and then shook their heads in denial.
Jiang Chengzi didn't ask anymore, and only shouted: "Jinyun." β
Jinyun then entered the house from the flash and asked, "Girl, what do you command?"
"Lock these two up first to make sure they don't run away. In addition, send someone to protect Aunt Sun and see what Aunt Sun has been doing lately. Of course, don't let Aunt Sun know, so as to save her from being uncomfortable. Jiang Chengzi said.
Jinyun got the order and had the two maids taken away. Jiang Chengzi then looked at Zhang's mother who was prostrate on the ground, and said, "You get up, you don't need to investigate this matter anymore." From now on, you have to keep an eye on the situation in the mansion and make sure that your wife is safe. β
"Yes. Zhang's mother got up from the ground at this time, her legs were numb, and she stumbled and almost fell, but Abi helped her so that she didn't fall.
"Girl, do you want to check it out right away?" asked Abi in a low voice.
Jiang Chengzi shook his head, only saying that it was uncomfortable on this rainy day, and it was inconvenient to go out, but now it is a flood, and disaster relief is happening everywhere, so it is not suitable to investigate. Let Abi clean up, and shout a few beating horses for a while.
Ah Bi was stunned for a moment, feeling that her girl was a little degraded, but she couldn't handle the beak master, so she had to be ordered to prepare. Jiang Chengzi secretly thought to himself in the house: Who else likes orchids in this palace?
