Chapter 41: The Box
Whether it is a ghost plot or a human scheme, Lord Yun has finally picked up a life. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although the process is not pretty.
In fact, in his dreams, he should have kept repeating the scene when he was scratched by Tu Haitang.
Lord Yun did not say that he trusted ghosts very much, and the habit of being in power all year round made him suspicious of everything. This time, he suspected that someone was behind the trouble.
He guessed that if that night was all an illusion, then it would take a lot of time, manpower and material resources to make such a big battle. Therefore, the person behind it should be a permanent resident or at least live in Wangyun City for nearly half a year. And it must have a certain amount of power and financial resources. After such speculation, the eligible ones should be the elites and wealthy merchants in the upper echelons of Wangyun City. But that day coincided with the Winter Solstice Festival, and those who met the conditions dragged their families out of the Zhongshan Tower. He didn't believe in such an important plan, and the man wouldn't be watching it himself.
He also found out that some people left the scene early, but most of them were old people and children, not strong enough, sleepy at night, and went home to rest.
In addition, Li Hua and Bai Lixu also withdrew halfway. However, these two teenagers are too young to be the people involved back then. And there are also a group of actors who saw them teasing the horses used in the performance backstage, and they never stayed away from Zhong Shanlou.
In the end, the only thing left was Di Qianqing, who left the table after him.
However, according to the report of the servant, the man did not set off until half an hour after he left, and judging from the time, he must have been unable to catch up. Besides, he is also a beautiful straw bale, how can he have the time and manpower to make such a big plan when he first comes to Wangyun City?
So, who will be behind it?
Or is there no one behind it at all?
When he first recovered from a serious illness, he should have been on bed rest, but he couldn't eat because of it. But knowing that he couldn't get an answer for a while, he put the matter aside for the time being, and studied the metal box day and night.
Although Lord Yun had never seen this kind of box, he had heard of this kind of box.
The black box is made of rare black iron, making it invulnerable. It can only melt if it burns in a fire for three days and three nights. But the metal is often used to make boxes for keeping secret things. Because it is sturdy, it can only be used to open the lock honestly with a key.
It's not that no one knows it, only the weakness of fear of fire. However, in order to prevent someone from melting the box with fire, a small vial of special corrosive liquid is usually placed inside such a black iron box. As soon as the bottle of liquid is heated, it will burst open, corroding all the contents of the box. It's a way to die and lose everything.
Lord Yun gently shook this Xuantie box, and he was sure that there would definitely be this medicinal liquid in this box, so he gave up the idea of forcibly destroying it. For now, the only way to get the key is to find a way to get it.
But where can he find the key for a while?
In the past, Tu Tianhuai tried his best to risk the lives of his family, just to use a fake map to deceive a group of them. This kind of calculation has thoroughly touched everyone's psychology, and it is expected that the person will inevitably chase and kill Tu Haitang, and get this fake map that was brought out by desperate protection. Now that he had finally gotten the real map, the key must be even more difficult to find. Just like before, who would have thought that he would put the real map in the main hall of the ancestral hall and expose it in front of people?
But going around and around, I can't get around the key that can be unlocked at the moment.
He remembered that the man chased and killed the orphan daughter of the Tu family for thousands of miles, and finally brought a fake map made by the Tu family, but he had never seen or heard him mention the key.
Is it that Tu Haitang doesn't have a key on him, or does the person not find the key? Or was he hiding the key at all?
Or was it the queen behind the man who wanted him to hide the existence of the key?
Wrong.
It was a fake map back then, so the "immortality" found should also be fake, and his imperial brother would die without medicine.
But why didn't they see the body of his royal brother with their own eyes?
Lord Yun felt a little pain in his head, and seemed to be a little confused in his thinking. He only thought it was the sequelae of his serious illness just after recovering from it, but he didn't think that Bai Li Feng had done something to his body. From this moment on, Lord Yun had already begun to embark on the dead end she had prepared for him.
Looking at the serpentine lock on the box, Lord Yun frowned deeply: Could it be that the person left the key to unlock the lock without permission?
It's really damning! I had my own selfishness so early.
He decided that he would have to trouble the man in the future and force him to hand over the key.
After thinking about it, he felt that he no longer had the need to stay here. After all, the winter solstice festival has passed, and it will soon be the New Year. If he delays here for a long time, he is afraid that he will arouse the suspicion of the Queen Mother. He and the Queen Mother are still using each other's relationship, and it is best not to upset her at such a time.
Moreover, judging from his experience in the past few days, the man must have deceived him in many ways. He can't despise him as much as he used to.
After all this consideration, he decided to leave immediately. Before leaving, he did not forget to arrange the manpower to stay here, and continued to pay attention to the situation of the Tu family and several other old houses. Although the experience of that night was extremely real, and the old wound on his arm was recreated, it still made him have doubts in his heart, and it seemed that everyone seemed to have doubts at this moment.
But due to the current situation, he can't do it blatantly, so he can only continue to observe secretly.
It's just that before leaving, a few more cardamom girls were carried on the carriage.
Lord Yun hurriedly ended the content of this private visit to Weifu, and he didn't bother to find trouble with the local officials, so he simply praised them for their disaster relief work, and revealed the news that he was leaving.
The cloud prince is leaving, and probably the happiest ones are Li Fan's father and son. One is that he feels that his ears are pure; The other is that he finally doesn't have to endure the man's gaze. You must know that he has endured very hard in order to suppress his desire not to beat him. And Yin Bai, who had been hiding from him for many days, finally dared to show up. He was afraid that the man would suddenly become interested and bring himself back to the lifeless grandfather's house.
On the day of the Yun Wangye's parting, all the officials in Wangyun City went to see each other off. Although Baili Feng was not qualified to go, Bai Qing was secretly guarding near the city gate. Seeing the appearance of the cloud prince, it seemed that he hadn't realized the little actions he had made to him.
Bai Qing was actually looking forward to his reaction, after all, it was the first time she had done this. It's a pity that I can't see the other party's reaction this time.
