Chapter 644 [Qin Yin]
Zhan Zhao dragged Bai Yutang back to the alley, but instead of looking for the old man just now, he went to Liang Qiaoyu's house.
Bai Yutang was a little puzzled.
After Zhan Zhao arrived at Liang Qiaoyu's house, he began to look for things.
"Cats?" Bai Yutang asked, "What are you looking for?" β
"When I was rummaging around here that day, I saw a letter!" Zhan Zhao said, took out a bundle of letters from the cabinet and placed it on the table.
Bai Yutang took a look and found that most of them were letters from relatives, one of which was written by Liang Qiaoyu to an aunt of her, wanting to ask her aunt for a show or something, but the letter was not finished, so it was not sent, and it was tied with the letter received.
Zhan Zhao took out the letter and showed it to Bai Yutang, "Look at the words written by Liang Qiaoyu!" β
Bai Yutang picked up the letter paper and glanced at it, and his eyes were also surprised, "This word...... This is the handwriting that recorded Yaoqin's resignation on that list! β
"It's the same!" Zhan Zhao said, "I feel like it when I see it!" Isn't that going to be able to tie things together? β
Bai Yutang looked at Zhanzhao and asked, "It was Liang Qiaoyu who changed the record in the palace back then?" β
"If someone takes advantage of Xu Ji's case, the person who really wants to kill is Yaoqin, and Liang Qiaoyu changed Yaoqin's record in the palace and fabricated her resignation." Zhan Zhao said, "Then the murder of Yaoqin is unknowing!" β
Bai Yutang thought for a while, "Is this how the gold and silver in Liang Qiaoyu's family came from?" β
Zhan Zhao frowned, "It's not quite right...... If this is the case, Liang Qiaoyu is equivalent to killing his relatives. β
"But what if she doesn't know the other party's murder methods?" Bai Yutang asked.
Zhan Zhao was slightly stunned, "No...... She did things for others, but instead killed her own relatives? β
Bai Yutang thought about it for a while, and said to Zhan Zhao, "Cat, look for it again!" β
"Looking for what?" Zhan Zhao was curious.
"Let's see if Liang Qiaoyu left any letters or something!" Bai Yutang said, "I think she writes well, she is not an ordinary maid, if she really participated in the murder of Yaoqin back then, she may have left some things written by herself." β
Zhan Zhao felt that it was impossible, so the two of them rummaged through the boxes and cabinets at Liang Qiaoyu's house and found them.
After looking for a while, Bai Yutang suddenly said to Zhan Zhao, "Cat, look here." β
Zhan Zhao ran over and saw Bai Yutang pointing to the drawer under the table.
"There's nothing here, I just looked for it." Zhan Zhao Road.
"It's not this, you look at the keyhole." Bai Yutang pointed to the keyhole of the drawer and said, "Someone has pried it." β
"Is that just the white line?" Zhan Zhao asked, "Could it be that he accidentally scratched it when he opened the lock?" β
Bai Yutang shook his head and took Zhanzhao to see a dresser and bedside table.
Zhanzhao found that all the places with locks had similar scratches on the keyholes.
"Someone turned over Liang Qiaoyu's house!" Bai Yutang said, "It's a habitual thief, but I don't know if the stealing was before or after Liang Qiaoyu's death." β
"Could it be that what we are looking for has already been taken?" Zhanzhao frowned.
"If it was caused after she died, maybe it was, but if it was before she died...... They shouldn't have found that thing! Bai Yutang said.
Zhan Zhao thought for a moment and nodded, "I understand!" The reason why Liang Qiaoyu can live to this day is because of the other party's handle? β
Bai Yutang nodded, and the two continued to look for it.
It's just that these two heroes almost turned Liang Qiaoyu's family upside down, and they didn't find any letters or anything like that.
Zhan Zhao seemed unwilling, and patted Bai Yutang, "You wait, I'll move the rescuers!" After saying that, it was gone.
Bai Yutang was still quite puzzled, what kind of rescuers to move?
The fifth master had no choice but to wait at Liang Qiaoyu's house.
Although the old mansion looks quite old, it has two floors above and below.
Bai Yutang went up to the second floor and looked out of the window...... The entrance to the alley can be clearly seen...... And the window on the other side happened to see Yaoqin's house.
After looking at the windows on both sides of the fifth master for a while, he began to be in a daze - from this room, it is very convenient to "monitor" Yaoqin's every move, and he can see clearly whenever he enters and exits...... Is it a coincidence?
Bai Yutang was thinking about it, when he saw the intersection, Zhanzhao ran back with the little fourth son in his arms.
The fifth master couldn't help laughing-sure enough, it was the "rescuers" who moved.
Coming down from the second floor, I saw Zhan Zhao putting the little fourth son on the table.
The little fourth son blinked his eyes and looked at Zhanzhao.
Zhan Zhao said, "Little Fourth Son, look for some place in this room where something is hidden." β
The little fourth son hugged his little arm and looked around, tilted his head and turned around again, shook his head, and said-It's nothing!
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other - was it taken away?
"If you take it away, you will be killed?" Zhan Zhao asked, "But Liang Qiaoyu did commit suicide, right?" β
Bai Yutang nodded.
Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand to poke the belly of the little fourth son.
The little fourth son covered his belly and looked at Zhanzhao.
"Look for it again." Zhan Zhao poked the shape of two tentacles at the sides of his head, "Could it be too well hidden and missed?" β
Xiao Sizi thought about it, got off the table, took Zhanzhao's hand and ran out of the door.
Bai Yutang also walked out.
The little fourth son pulled Zhanzhao all the way forward, and finally stopped in front of a house and pointed to the closed courtyard door.
Zhan Zhao was slightly stunned and looked at Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang also felt strange - this was the courtyard of the old man's house where they had been this morning.
The little fourth son stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang didn't have time to stop it, and soon, the old man's voice came from inside, "Who?" β
Zhan Zhao picked up the little fourth son and looked at him-what do you mean?
The little fourth son smiled - looking for something!
"There was a crunch, and the door opened." The old man poked out and took a look, and saw that it was Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang again, and he was a little puzzled, but soon he saw the little fourth son, and immediately laughed, "Oops...... Please come in, please come in. β
Zhan Zhao glanced at Bai Yutang - see it, don't ask what you're doing, just let the little fourth son in.
Bai Yutang was also helpless, and said in his heart that it would be happier if you left the little fourth son for him to raise.
The old man poured tea and water to greet the three of them, and praised Gongsun for his good medical skills, he had a few stitches in the morning, and his legs no longer hurt and were more active than before.
After the little fourth son sat down, he looked at Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang - don't you two look for something? Ask!
"Uh......" Zhanzhao asked, "Old man, do you know Liang Qiaoyu?" β
"I know, everyone knows Qiao Niang." The old man nodded.
"Does she have anything for you?" Zhan Zhao asked.
The old man thought about it, but put down the cup, sat down, and asked, "Does it have anything to do with Qiao Niang's suicide?" β
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other - it seems that there is a door!
Both nodded.
The old man motioned for the two of them to wait, then went into the house, took out a wooden box, and put it in front of Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang.
"Qiao Niang did give me something back then, and asked me to help keep it." The old man said, "Qiao Niang suddenly gave me this thing one day and asked me to help keep it, and said that I must not let others know." β
Zhanzhao opened the box and took out something from inside.
Bai Yutang was also surprised-he saw that there was a fishtail pillow in the box!
Zhan Zhao took a closer look, and it was almost exactly the same as the one that was fished up from the Peacock Lake in the palace that day!
Bai Yutang nodded, "It should be a pair." β
Zhan Zhao shook his pillow, and there was a sound of "click" from inside - something!
When I opened the pillow, I saw a roll of paper inside.
Bai Yutang frowned, "It's exactly the same as the one found in the palace!" β
Zhan Zhao opened the paper scroll and saw that it was also a map, and the drawing method was the same as the one in the palace that indicated where Cui Cheng's body was! But - the map and the route are different.
"The fishtail pillow in the palace seems to have been thrown down by Liang Qiaoyu." Bai Yutang took the drawings and looked at them, but he couldn't understand where the terrain was.
"Old man." Zhan Zhao asked the old man who was chatting with Xiao Sizi, "When did Liang Qiaoyu give you this box, and did he say anything?" β
"Hmm...... It was Xu Ji's case that happened about a month or so. The old man recalled the scene at that time, "At that time, the whole street was lifeless, and I could hear crying at any time at night, and I couldn't sleep all night, and the neighbors in our street often got together to talk to each other and relieve the resentment in my heart." Qiao Niang, like me, is the most miserable in the family, so she often comes to me to cry. Once, she came to me out of the blue, and told me to put away this box, not to open it, and not to tell anyone that I had this box...... At the time, I thought she was going to kill herself if she couldn't think about it, and she was scared to death. Alas......"
The old man sighed, "Why did you kill yourself now?" It's been so many years. β
Zhan Zhao took the drawing and studied it, and felt that it should be somewhere in Kaifeng Mansion, so he could ask Ouyang Shaozheng.
Bai Yutang asked the old man, "Why did Yaoqin put the qin here with you?" β
"Oh, that qin is Yaoqin's family heirloom, and it seems to be the only thing her father left her, so she cherishes it very much." The old man said, "She lived in the palace for a month, and there was no one at home, so she was afraid that the piano would be stolen, so she put it here with me." β
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded, daring to love this old man's popularity is quite good.
After sitting for a while, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang left with the little fourth son.
The three of them ran to the imperial city military camp, but Ouyang was not there, Zou Liang said that he was in the pavilion, and something happened just now.
"What's wrong?" Zhanzhao now has a big head when he hears that something happened.
Zou Liang said, "The Imperial City Army guarding the city just now said that the post house where the Liao envoy was located was out of water. β
"Yan zhΓ²ng?" Zhan Zhao asked, "Accident or arson?" β
"This is really not possible, the post houses in Liao and Xixia are often thrown bricks, or they are set on fire, and it should not be a big deal."
"Oh......" Zhan Zhao pulled out the drawing and asked Zou Liang, "Do you know what kind of drawing this is?" β
Zou Liang took a look, thought about it, and asked the deputy general to get a topographic map of Kaifeng City.
Bai Yutang took a few glances at the huge topographic map of the imperial city, and found the corresponding location on the drawing.
It's just that after finding the definite position, the fifth master frowned and touched his chin.
After Zhanzhao confirmed the location, he pulled him away.
Bai Yutang seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't speak, frowning and following Zhanzhao according to the instructions of the drawings.
When he finally found the mansion marked on the drawings, Zhanzhao was also dumbfounded, and at this time, he ...... They were standing outside the gate of the Huangshi jade shop.
Zhan Zhao opened his mouth wide, looked back and forth, left and right, stretched out his hand and pointed to the closed door of the Huangshi jade shop, looking at the white jade hall.
Bai Yutang nodded, that means--isn't it!
The little fourth son who came with them looked up at the door of the Huangshi jade shop.
"What should I do?" Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang, "Go in and find it?" β
Bai Yutang asked, "How do you get in?" Sneaking in? β
Zhan Zhao was also a little embarrassed.
Xiao Sizi looked up at the two of them, took off the small purse from his waist, stuffed it into Bai Yutang's sleeve pocket, ran forward, and patted the door of the jade shop.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other - again?
After a while, a small door of the jade shop opened.
Ayi probed out to take a look, and when he saw Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang standing outside the door, he seemed to be a little puzzled, and when he looked down, he saw that there was still a little fourth son standing at the door.
The little fourth son raised his face and said to him, "Brother, when I came that day, it seems that I dropped my purse in the yard." β
"Oh......" Ayi hurriedly opened the door and let the little fourth son in.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other--really.
The little fourth son ran into the jade shop.
Ayi looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, as if asking if they were also together?
The two of them weren't sure if Ayi knew their identities, but since Cui Miao knew Yin Hou's identity, this one should be almost clear, whatever, let's go in and talk about it......
The two followed the little fourth son into the gate.
Ayi took a lantern and accompanied the little fourth son to find it, while asking, "Do you know where it fell?" β
"Maybe near the hut." The little fourth son ran to the courtyard where the thatched house was.
Ayi helped him rummage through the grass.
Xiao Sizi suddenly dragged Zhanzhao, who was following behind, and stretched out his hand to point to the Zinan tree in front of him.
Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly, and flashed on the tree.
He stood on a branch and found that in a slightly hidden place above the branch, there was a hole in a tree, and in the hole of the tree, a white thing was stuffed.
Zhan Zhao stretched out his hands and took them out, and found that it was a flat thing wrapped in oiled paper.
The Zhan guard quietly kicked the thing into his arms, pointed to a flower pot not far away and said, "Is it there?!" β
Bai Yutang had already walked to the side of the flower pot, reached behind the flower pot, and then raised his hand, holding the small purse in his hand.
"Isn't that it?"
"Hmm!" The little fourth son ran over.
Bai Yutang gave him the small purse and touched his head.
Ayi ran over and asked, "You didn't lose anything, did you?" β
Xiao Sizi shook his head, smiled and picked up his purse.
Zhan Zhao also came down from the tree and said to Ayi, "Excuse me." β
Ayi shook his head and took the lantern to send the three out.
went out, Zhanzhao hugged the little fourth son and went back to Kaifeng Mansion with Bai Yutang.
Ah Yi closed the door, and he heard the sound of crutches behind him, and he turned around, "Master." β
Cui Miao walked up behind him and asked, "What are they doing here?" β
"Oh, the purse of the little fourth son was lost in our yard." Ayi replied.
Cui Miao thought for a while and asked Ayi, "Found it?" β
"Found it, right next to the flower pot."
Cui Miao asked, "When the purse is picked up, is it dirty?" β
Ayi was slightly stunned, "Uh......"
Cui Miao's eyes narrowed and asked, "After they arrived in the courtyard, where did they go?" β
"I found it near the flowers...... That's right! "Ayi said," Zhanzhao went up to the Zinan tree and saw the purse ......"
Cui Miao turned around, walked quickly back to the purple nanmu, put down his crutches and jumped onto the canopy, carefully inspected the tree, and finally found a tree hole at the fork. She reached into the hollow of the tree and touched it, frowning, "So it's hiding here......"
"Master?" Ayi asked under the tree, "What's wrong?" β
Cui Miao jumped down and frowned, "What we didn't find in the whole mansion turned out to be hidden in this tree......"
Ayi was pleasantly surprised, "Then you found it?!" β
Cui Miao shook her head, "It's a pity...... was taken away by Zhanzhao and them first, and the people in Kaifeng Mansion were also psychics, and they even knew that things were hidden in trees. β
"I'm going to get it back!" Ayi was about to run out, but Cui Miao grabbed him, "Silly boy, where did you snatch it back from what they took?" β
"But!" Ayi was in a hurry.
Cui Miao waved her hand gently, "What are you afraid of?" They are not bad people, and things are safer in their hands than with us. β
After saying that, the old lady went back to the house on crutches, and said to herself, "There are some things that God dooms." β
β¦β¦
And on the way back to Kaifeng at this time, Bai Yutang hugged the little fourth son, and once again sighed, this baby is really the reincarnation of a fairy!
Zhan Zhao took out the oiled paper bag from his arms and opened it to see what was inside.
This oiled paper bag is carefully wrapped in several layers of oiled paper, probably for fear that the contents will get wet or something.
Judging from the broken Cheng dΓΉ of the outer layer of paper packets, this paper bag should have been hidden in the tree hole for a long time.
Bai Yutang and Xiao Sizi watched curiously as Zhanzhao broke the paper layer by layer, and finally ...... A white silk cloth bag appeared inside.
Zhanzhao opened the cloth bag, and there was an envelope folded in half.
"It's like a letter." Zhan Zhao said, wrapping the silk cloth and paper bag back again, at this time the street was dark, not the time to read the letter, and ......
Zhan Zhao had just stuffed the letter back into his arms, and Bai Yutang stuffed the little fourth son into his hand, and then raised his hand......
With a "snap", the fifth master grabbed a bow and arrow in his hand.
At the same time, two more "pops" were heard, and neither Zhan Zhao nor Bai Yutang moved, but several crossbow arrows that were shot close to him stopped.
The bolts stopped in the air and fell to the ground.
Behind Bai Yutang and Zhanzhao, the shark appeared, blocking those dark arrows with the internal force of the air palm.
Bai Yutang asked Zhanzhao, "Is it from the jade shop?" β
Zhan Zhao shook his head slightlyβI don't know.
At this time, it was getting late, there was no one on this street, and in front of the foggy street, a black figure appeared, and that person was slowly walking towards Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang.
Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, he already felt the murderous aura from a long distance...... The other party is not good.
Bai Yutang pressed the cloud knife with one hand and took a step forward.
Zhan Zhao hugged the little fourth son and frowned and looked at the sides...... On the roofs on both sides, two rows of men in black appeared, all armed with blades.
Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, these people moved neatly and looked like they had been strictly trained, were killers, or...... Soldiers?
Zhan Zhao thought about it, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he reached out and touched the belly of the little fourth son.
The little fourth son blinked, and was stuffed to Bai Yutang by Zhan Zhao.
Then, I saw Zhan Zhao raise his hand, holding the oiled paper bag in his hand, and asked, "Do you want this?" After speaking, he flashed and jumped into the air.
With Zhanzhao's movements, none of the black-clothed people left, and they all "brushed" and chased after him.
Bai Yutang hugged the little fourth son, and saw that all the black-clothed people from all directions went to the roof, and followed Zhanzhao in hot pursuit.
How good Zhanzhao's light skills are, like a swallow, scurrying all over the street, those black-clothed people are chasing hard.
Bai Yutang looked at the sky, and the direction in which Zhanzhao ran was......
Bai Yutang hugged the little fourth son and also went with Zhanzhao.
β¦β¦
And at this time, Kaifeng Fuli.
Zhao Pu and Gongsun had just come back, and Tianzun and Yin Hou were playing chess in the house, and the two seemed to be on the bar again, grinding their teeth and looking at each other with chess pieces.
Yin Hou said to Tianzun, "Let's go, you will lose if you take this step!" β
Tianzun pinched a chess piece and squinted at Yin Hou, "You want to scare me?" I'm going to lose this step and you're losing! β
"Then you'd better go!"
"I'll think about it again!"
"You've been thinking about it for a long time!"
"It's not long at all, you've been thinking about that step for a longer time!"
β¦β¦
On the side, Bao Yan Pang Yu and they were all eating snacks.
At this time, I saw Tianzun suddenly raise his head, "Huh? β
Yin Hou also raised his head, "Uh...... Is this a rat? β
Saying that, the two looked up at the direction of the roof together, and Xiao Wu also ran out of the meow building, raised his head, and "whined" in the direction of the roof.
At the same time, I saw a red shadow "brush" and flew out, it was Zhanzhao!
Zhan Zhao flew out of the roof, holding a paper bag in his hand, and shouted, "Catch it alive!" β
β¦β¦
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then heard a "bang", and countless black-clothed people appeared on the roof, and this black pressed a piece, covering the moon overhead.
"Hey, mother!" How high did the little marquis jump, grabbing Bao Yan and about to run.
Bao Yan was speechless, "What are you afraid of, can you still fall and hit you?" β
As soon as Bao Yan finished speaking, he saw that the black-clothed people in the sky began to fall down, like dumplings, and they couldn't move when they fell to the ground.
At this time, Tianzun and Yin Hou grabbed two chess pieces in their hands and were throwing them up, Tianzun said while throwing them back, "Old ghost, did you just move the chessboard?" β
Yin Hou shook his head, "No! β
"You obviously moved, I saw you threw a sunspot!"
"You're dazzled!"
"Nope! You're really cheating! β
"There aren't enough chess pieces."
"Don't move the chessboard!"
Tianzun grabbed the chessboard and didn't let Yin Hou move, the two grabbed the chess pieces, the chessboard brushed around, the ground was full of black-clothed people, and a few who were not hit saw that the situation was not good, turned around and ran, Zhao Pu waved his hand at the shadow guard on the roof, "Catch them all for me!" β
The shadow guards came with ropes to arrest people.
Chen Xing'er and Crescent Moon rushed out of the kitchen with a rolling pin, "Don't crush the tiles!" It's time for a water leak! β
At this moment, Bai Yutang walked back with the little fourth son in his arms, and saw that the black-clothed people all over the ground had nowhere to put their feet, Tianzun and Yin Hou were holding the chessboard on the side and were lucky, I don't know what they were doing, the chessboard was full of chess pieces.
Handing the little fourth son to Gongsun, Bai Yutang pulled off the mask of a black-clothed man who was lying on the ground with a pointed acupoint.
Zhao Pu also came to glance at it and frowned, "It's not Han." β
"Where's the man?" Zhanzhao also fell.
Gongsun asked Zhan Zhao curiously, "Who are you provoking?" actually chased and killed to Kaifeng Mansion. β
Zhan Zhao shook the oiled paper bag in his hand.
Zhao Pu took it and opened it to take a look, it was empty, and he was puzzled, and on the side, Xiao Sizi took out the envelope that Zhanzhao had quietly stuffed into his arms just now and handed it to Zhao Pu.
Zhao Pu opened the envelope, took out a letter from it, and opened it.
Everyone else came over too...... I saw that a lot of words were written on the letter, but it was just ......
"It's all numbers...... What do you mean? Zhan Zhao wondered.
Gongsun was also puzzled, on this letter, there were rows of numbers, four numbers in a group, four groups in a row, and there were as many as sixteen lines.
Everyone looked at each other - what was written? Riddle?
Just when everyone was worried, they only heard a "snap".
Following the prestige, I saw Tianzun and Yin Hou holding half a chessboard, and the chess pieces were scattered all over the ground.
Looking at the chess pieces rolling around on the ground, Bai Yutang suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the piece of paper full of numbers, and said, "Rhythm!" β
Zhan Zhao clapped his hands, "That's right! β
Bao Yan ran to the room to get the piano......
At this time, the shadow guards arrested all the people in black, and Zhao Pu asked Ochre Shadow to escort the people down, pry open his mouth and ask what the origin was.
Wait for Bao Yan to bring the piano over and put it on the table.
Gongsun looked at the paper carefully, frowned, and said, "If it's a piano score...... It's so hard to play. β
Bao Yan also studied it and said, "It's almost impossible to play well, it's so difficult to ......."
Everyone looked at Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang wanted to laugh a little, and spread his hands - young master, I just have a face that can play the piano, and my piano skills can't be better than Gongsun!
When everyone was worried, Zhanzhao took the piece of paper, walked over, and dragged Yin Hou, who was glaring at each other with Tianzun.
Yin Hou looked back at his grandson.
Zhan Zhao raised his hand, held the piece of paper to Yin Hou to see, and asked with wide eyes, "Grandpa, is this a piano score?" β
Yin Hou was slightly stunned, took the paper and looked at it for a while, and then looked at Zhanzhao.
Zhan Zhao looked at his grandfather with big eyes.
Yin Hou was helpless, when Zhanzhao looked at him like this, no matter what the request was, he would not be able to refuse. Walked to the table with the piece of paper, and Yin Hou raised his hand to hold the piano.
Bai Yutang was a little surprised and asked Tianzun who walked to his side, "Yin Hou is good at music and rhythm?" β
Others were also curious - if Tianzun could stroke the qin, then everyone believed it, and they did see him caress it, but no one thought that Yin Hou would also ......
Bao Yan and Gongsun both watched with wide eyes, no one present knew better than them how difficult this sheet of music was, and Yin Hou could actually play it?
At this time, Zhanzhao was silently watching his grandfather, and that kind of stable eyes made everyone subconsciously look at Tianzun again.
Tianzun was standing there with his hands behind his back, and when he saw that everyone present except Zhanzhao looked at him as if he was asking-Yin Hou can play the piano?
Tianzun smiled slightly, stretched out his fingers and touched his mouth gently, and with his action, the sound of the piano flowed in the courtyard that was instantly quiet......
