Chapter 102
The next day, it was getting dark, but someone was knocking on the door.
Shen Man was sleepless all night, and when he heard a knock on the door, he immediately answered the door. When I opened the door, I saw several officials in soapy clothes holding lanterns in front of the small courtyard gate, and Cheng Xie of the capital county stood in the alley with his hands folded. Seeing Shen Mangan, he greeted with a dry smile, "Miss Tang, you and Sister Ling will accompany the officials to the meteorological gate." β
Shen Man asked with sleepy eyes, "What happened to the meteorological gate?" β
Xie Pan said tiredly, "This case has alarmed the emperor, and the emperor has asked us to find out the truth within three days, otherwise the lower officials will not only be in vain, but even their heads will not be left on their shoulders." Time is urgent, since this corpse is dug out of the ground of the meteorological gate, it is natural to start from the meteorological gate. β
He then probed his head to look inside the door, "The matter is really very urgent, and I ask the two girls to accompany the subordinate to go quickly." β
Shen Man asked Xie Pan to wait for a moment, and then turned back to find Tang Jiuyue.
But he didn't think that just a few steps inside, he saw Tang Jiuyue standing in the courtyard wearing a heavy white fox fur. Silent eyes stared at her silently.
Shen Man unconsciously smiled, "It turns out that you have already gotten up, and Lord Xie Fan is waiting for us outside, saying that he will go to the meteorological gate to investigate the case." β
Tang Jiuyue walked towards her, stopped in front of Shen Man, stretched out her hand to gently tie her cloak while Shen Man was stunned, and then patted the dead leaves that fell on her shoulders, and said indifferently, "Girl, you should pay attention to your appearance at all times, especially in front of outsiders." β
Shen Manfang smelled the fragrance from her, and the flag of Zhengxin swayed, and listened to her advice, his heart was very warm. nodded with a smile, and immediately followed Tang Jiuyue out.
Xie Pan was very careful, he had already prepared a sedan chair outside the door, and the two of them took a sedan chair together, it was freezing outside, but there was a delicate stove in the sedan chair to warm up. It didn't take long to arrive at the mansion of the Meteorological Gate Tang Huiyuan Gate Supervisor.
Following Xie Fan in, Tang Huiyuan seemed to have just gotten up, put on a cloak and came with a hand stove.
The strange thing was that he didn't pay much attention to Tang Jiuyue, who showed his true face, and put all his heart on the corpse from the field of his meteorological gate.
Tang Huiyuan frowned and thought carefully, "Actually, this land has only just reached the hands of my meteorological gate, so it is not so much related to my meteorological gate as it is more closely related to the previous owner of this land." β
Xie Pan glanced at Tang Jiuyue, and then continued to ask, "I don't know who this former master is?" "I was afraid that I would have an inseparable relationship with the people of the Yin and Yang Prison before, Xie Pan knew the methods of this group of people, although the meteorological gate was unpopular, but after all, he was still the person of the Yin Yang Prison. The one sitting in the Taige is not a character to be messed with, he is famous for protecting his shortcomings, if he moves, Tang Huiyuan is afraid that he will not be able to eat and walk around. Now there are other clues, which are naturally even better.
Tang Huiyuan said slowly, "The former owner of this land is actually Zhou Gai. β
"What?!" Xie Fan almost fell off his chair, "Are you talking about today's Shangshu Ling Zhou Gai Zhou?!" β
Tang Huiyuan nodded, "That's him." Here's the thing, Zhou Gai has a daughter named Zhou Ting, who fell in love with my son, and we agreed on the family affair, so a piece of land outside the city became one of Zhou Ting's dowries and gave it to our family. I saw that this land was also useless, so I donated it to the meteorological gate as one of the meteorological observation sites. β
Xie Pan has one head and two big, and secretly said that this Tang Sect Supervisor is really a model of conscientiousness, and even the marriage of his children's in-laws can be used for public purposes. This is good, he thought that he could get out of the way, but he didn't expect to involve an even more unprovoked figure - when the court Shangshu ordered Zhou Gai. This Zhou Gai can be literate and martial, and has a little Yin and Yang Dao attainments, once accompanied the emperor from birth to death, fought several victories, and won the emperor's trust. Because of his high self-esteem, he has a very bad temper. The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, except for the emperor who could reprimand him a few words, almost no one could fight him.
So this case was finally disconnected from the meteorological gate but it was involved in Shangshufu, Xie Pan really had a headache. I thought that instead of messing with Zhou Gai, it was better to continue to deal with Tang Huiyuan.
"May I ask how long the Tang Sect Supervisor knows how long this land has been in the hands of the Zhou Mansion?"
Tang Huiyuan closed his eyes and thought about it, opened his eyes and said, "This piece of land was given to him by Lord Zhou when he was rewarded, and it is estimated that it has been more than ten years." β
Xie Pan felt strange, "This land is not big, and it is in the suburbs, how could the emperor give Lord Zhou such a lonely piece of land in the first place?" β
Tang Huiyuan glanced behind him, stared at a person and asked with a smile, "I see that this little girl in green is calm and relaxed, and she is also a candidate for this big exam, why don't you let her analyze and analyze it and see what her insights are?" β
Shen Man thought that he was worthy of being the uncle of the Tang Gate Eunuch, although he looked smiling on weekdays, his brain turned extremely fast. Such an inference that offends people and may involve the affairs of the court, he refuses to say it himself, but wants to explain it to himself, which can not be described as treacherous.
After getting Tang Jiuyue's hint, Shen Man was not humble, and said in a loud voice, "Although the land is small, the soil is soft, close to the pool, and there is a locust tree planted nearby, with eyes facing southwest, lush branches, and a rare feng shui treasure 'eye'." We usually talk about 'Feng Shui Treasure Land', but we don't know that the reason why this piece of land can eliminate disasters and solve problems for the owner is rooted in the 'treasure eye'. The closer you get to the 'Treasure Eye', the more auspicious it is. In fact, the land outside the city is all good land, but the essence is only in the small land that Lord Zhou gave to the Tang Gate Supervisor. β
When Shen Man said this, thoughts quickly surged in his heart.
I don't know if this corpse tripod has anything to do with Zhou Gai, if it doesn't, it's fine. If he had a relationship and gave such a piece of land to his in-laws, he would be too bold. Or they're too confident that no one will be able to discover the secrets of this corpse. As the saying goes, "the most dangerous place is also the safest place", I believe that no one will suspect that this small piece of land was originally a royal gift, and then it was used as a dowry, and finally as a field of meteorological gates.
Seeing that Shen Man was suddenly silent, Xie Pan couldn't help it, and whispered, "Miss Tang? β
Tang Huiyuan leaned forward slightly, and repeated with interest, "Miss Tang? You also have the surname Don? β
Shen Man came back to his senses, raised his head and smiled, "Well, it happens to be the same surname as Lord Tang." β
Tang Jiuyue, who had been silent at the moment, suddenly interjected, "When did Tang Gongzi and Miss Zhou get married?" β
"More than a year." When Tang Gongzi was mentioned, Tang Huiyuan's expression seemed to loosen for a moment, and a sadness flashed in his eyes. His gaze turned to Tang Jiuyue, and his smiling eyes suddenly became dull.
"It seems that the corpse has been hidden in the ground for some years, and since the Tang Sect Supervisor only recently obtained this place, it is unlikely that he will know about it." Tang Jiuyue seemed to intend to excuse Tang Huiyuan and explain it to everyone for him.
She then turned her head to Xie Fan and said, "It seems that if we want to find out the truth, we have to go to Lord Zhou Shangshu Ling to ask what is going on." β
Xie Pan was embarrassed, but he heard Shen Man also agree, "It seems that I really want to go to Shangshu Mansion to investigate." β
So Xie Pan looked at the two "Tang girls" who kept saying that they were going to find Zhou Shangshuling, and felt that they were really unlucky.
Xie Pan knew that he was gone, and he was really lucky, and he was killed. "In that case, let's take my leave." He hung his head weakly, looking like he had nothing to love.
When the sedan chair passed by Yefu, Shen Man opened the curtains, and sure enough, he saw a familiar shadow at the entrance of the alley.
"Ding Feng, this kid is so persistent, if Concubine Li had followed him back then, maybe the situation would be very different now."
Tang Jiuyue suddenly said in a loud voice, "Five." β
"Huh?" Shen Man was stunned.
Tang Jiuyue lowered her head and calculated again, and said in a deep voice, "If Ye Tiantian marries Ding Feng, he should be able to have five children, three boys and two girls, one of the sons will die young, but the other two daughters may have a little achievement." β
Shen Man raised his forehead, "When is it, do you still care about how many ...... others will have?"
Then Shen Man leaned comfortably in the sedan chair and lowered the curtains. thought of Concubine Li's life, and remembered Concubine Ning's expression when she learned the truth about Concubine Li's death......
I don't know if Concubine Ning Guifei at this moment has taken this nameless Ye Tiantian to heart. Compared with Ding Feng's unrequited love, she still feels that the friendship between the two is more regrettable.
As soon as I got out of the sedan car, it began to snow.
The goose-feathered snow fell on the shoulders and hair, and the whole street was plunged into a white expanse.
Shen Man looked back at Tang Jiuyue, and laughed out loud, "Miss Tang, don't be silent today, because I'm afraid that if you stand in the snow like this, others will really not see you." β
Tang Jiuyue had a calm face, because Xie Fan was just about to step on her snow-white boots, took two steps back and looked up at Zhou Gai's mansion, and at first glance it was an upstart, and the door plaques were all shining. The door is plastered with platinum, and even the lion at the door is painted in gold, and the appearance is even more fierce, and the size is more than twice as large as other people's houses.
Tang Jiuyue pointed to Shen Mandao, "As the saying goes, looking at words is like looking at people, but in fact, you can also see the owner's habits by looking at the faΓ§ade. What do you see from the faΓ§ade of Lord Zhou? β
Shen Man thought for a moment, then said resolutely with flashing eyes, "Lord Zhou is rich. β
Tang Jiuyue was silent.
Shen Man continued to nod and said, "Lord Zhou is very rich. β
Tang Jiuyue lifted her robe and walked inside. Xie Pan hurriedly went up and knocked on the door and handed over the post. The gatekeeper originally didn't let them in, but Tang Jiuyue showed the door number of Taige again, so the gatekeeper immediately changed his face, but when it came to it, he only let Shen Man and the other three inside.
Tang Jiuyue walked into the front yard of the Zhou Mansion and looked at a big tripod placed in the middle, her eyes sank.
"There's a drama to watch now."
