Chapter 648: Secret Room (4K5, see_an Immortal Treasure Margin+3, 4)
A few of the little chamberlains rushed up, raised their feet and kicked towards the door of the small stone house.
This door is indeed an ornament.
And they kicked twice, and the door slammed down.
The dark little stone house suddenly became bright.
"Ahh Who's that?! The little attendants who slammed the door widened their eyes and pointed into the room.
I saw a red-clothed young man lying on the ground with his back to the gate on the ground on the small stone house facing the gate.
On the young man's back, a bright feather arrow pierced through his heart, almost "nailing" him to the ground!
The big inner servant who had just ordered to smash the door walked in with a face, and when he saw the red-clothed young man lying on the ground, his heart tightened, and he turned back to Cui Zhenzhen, who was probing his brain outside the door, and said, "Cui Liangdi, come over and take a look, do you know this person?" β
Cui Zhenzhen walked in holding the hand of the palace maid, and when he saw the back of the man, he immediately covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and choked up: "My fifth brother...... That's what I'm wearing today......"
The chamberlain in the house moved out of the way and let Choi Jin-jin come closer.
"Excuse me, turn him over and let me see." Cui Zhenzhen asked a small chamberlain.
The little chamberlain turned over the red-clothed young man lying on the ground as he said.
Sure enough, it's Cui Goro, who has not been seen for a long time!
Looking at his pale face and round eyes, Cui Zhenzhen couldn't cry, and sobbed: "Fifth brother, fifth brother, who are you messing with?" Whose path is in the way? These wicked people are going to put you to death! β
The Ouchi attendant hurriedly said, "Since we have found it, let's go back and report it quickly." β
Cui Jinzhen shook her head. Said: "You go to report the news, I will stay here to prevent others from coming over and continuing to hurt my fifth brother." "The love between sister and brother is very moving.
The little waiter next to him had a great impression of Cui Zhenzhen, and said busily: "The little one is here to accompany Cui Liangdi." β
The big chamberlain sent by Emperor Yongchang nodded, "Then I'll go back and report the news." As he spoke, he turned and walked out.
As soon as he arrived at the door, another attendant ran over and said breathlessly, "My lord! My lord! Big things are not good! It's not a good thing......"
"What's bad?! It's a good day, let you say such frustrating words! The big chamberlain slapped the chamberlain who reported the news. He said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?!" β
The attendant who reported the news wept and mourned. Hunched over and pointed to the side of the bush rockery, he said, "There...... There...... The little ones went there just now to search for the fifth son of the Cui family, and found that they ...... Found...... Mu Guifei Niangniang fell behind the rockery inside! β
This time there were many people coming, so they divided into two groups. A group followed the big chamberlain to smash the door. I continued to search the bushes.
As a result, the person who smashed the door here searched Cui Wulang's body. On the other side, Mu Guifei was found unconscious and fell to the ground!
The big chamberlain beside Emperor Yongchang turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and he hurriedly shouted: "What are you shouting about?!" Hurry up and show me, no one can put it in. No one can let it go! - I'm going to report back to Your Majesty! β
Saying that, this big chamberlain only brought a small entourage back to the Taiji Hall to report the news, and the others all stayed here.
In the Taiji Palace, it is a song and dance, the Maiko dance in the hall, and the people below either enjoy the dance, or taste the famous dishes made by the imperial chef in the palace, a peaceful and warm atmosphere.
The Ouchi attendant hurriedly ran in from outside the palace, came to Emperor Yongchang's table, knelt down and said loudly: "Your Majesty, something big has happened in the Imperial Garden!" β
The singing, dancing and conversation in the hall came to an abrupt end.
Countless eyes were cast on Emperor Yongchang who was above him and the great chamberlain kneeling in front of him.
"What's going on?" Emperor Yongchang frowned, "You are also an old man who has been around me for many years, how can you be so reckless......"
The big maid had a white face and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the slave maid just found that the fifth son of the Cui family died in the small stone house by the Taiye Pool. β
"What?! My fifth brother ......! Cui Sanlang stood up with a bang, rushed to the Yongchang Emperor's table, lifted the big chamberlain by the collar with one hand, and asked sharply: "Do you say it again?!" - Where the hell?! β
Xu Yanchao listened to the words of the waiter, his face turned white with fright, and his whole body was like a swing, and he could no longer be calm.
Du Hengshuang hurriedly reached out to hold his hand, and comforted him in a low voice: "...... None of your business. β
"But...... But ......" Xu Yan wrinkled at a small face. He knew that Cui Wulang was probably his "substitute for the dead"...... If he hadn't worn the same clothes and the same crown as him, the "adulterer" would not have mistaken Cui Wulang for Xu Yanchao.
I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me.
Xu Yanchao's heart was like a big stone, heavy.
The boy who had just turned ten years old felt for the first time that the real human heart was sinister, and the wind and frost sword were ......
Du Hengshuang sighed, shook Xu Yanchao's hand vigorously, and shook his head lightly at him, "Everyone has a life, don't think too much, and don't talk." You have to know Lu Dao, if you say it...... "The murderer will know that he killed the wrong person, and he will not let Xu Yanchao go."
Xu Yanchao's face turned pale, and he nodded slowly, "I know what I said." β
"You are the only support for me and Xue'er, as well as my mother, you must cherish yourself. And that Cui Wulang, their family is very powerful, and they will definitely not let him die in vain. Du Hengshuang stroked Xu Yanchao's cheek and comforted him softly.
When Xiahou Wushuang heard the news, his whole person was stunned. Although she didn't like Cui Golang, and she could even say that she hated him, she never wanted him to die......
Xiahou Yuan was also busy comforting Xiahou Wushuang. He glanced at Du Hengshuang, and just saw Du Hengshuang looking over, so he nodded slowly to her.
Du Hengshuang smiled reluctantly and pointed to Xu Yanchao beside him.
Like Xiahou Wushuang, Xu Yanchao's face was also very solemn.
Xiahou Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, turned back and continued to comfort Xiahou Wushuang.
And at the top of the hall, Cui Saburo didn't have time to continue to get angry, and the big chamberlain threw out an even more shocking news: "...... Your Majesty, the slave maid also found that Mu Guifei was unconscious and fell in the rockery! β
"What?!" Emperor Yongchang stood up with a bang, "How could Concubine Ai be there?!" She wasn't uncomfortable. Have you gone back to the dormitory to rest?! β
Concubine Yin De hurriedly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the noble concubine is pregnant with Liujia, so let's hurry up and send the imperial doctor to take a look!" Then it is rumored that the big palace maid in the palace of the noble concubine Niangniang came to ask questions......"
Concubine Yin De didn't know what to say, and in Concubine Mu's bedroom, it was already heavily guarded at this time.
Emperor Yongchang glanced at Concubine Yin De, and became more and more convinced that Concubine Yin Defei had nothing to do with this matter.
"Spread my will, and call the palace maid of the noble concubine to see me." Emperor Yongchang commanded majestically.
"Stand down! Retire! Don't quit yet! Another chamberlain hurriedly stepped forward, telling the bewildered Maiko in the hall to quickly retreat.
The flowery dancers retreated like water, leaving an empty hall. and the residual fragrance of fat powder......
Not a little while. A little palace maid from Mu Guifei's dormitory hurriedly came, kowtowed to Emperor Yongchang and saluted: "Your Majesty, the two sisters followed Niangniang out of the palace and haven't come back yet." β
Emperor Yongchang was shocked. Hurriedly said: "Quickly pass on the imperial doctor!" Then he said to his chamberlain: "Go to the Taiye Pool!" He said to Xu Shao: "There was a murder case in the palace." You Jing Zhaoyin. Come and see, too. β
Xu Shao's face was also full of consternation, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said: "The minister obeys the order!" β
The big chamberlain broke free of Cui Saburo's hand and shouted: "Swing!" Then he helped Emperor Yongchang. They hurried out of the temple together.
Cui Sanlang hurriedly followed behind, and also wanted to get out, but was stopped by a sergeant in armor at the entrance of the hall, and said: "Cui Shilang, Your Majesty has an order, there is a life case in the palace, everyone must wait here, and you must not move around without permission." β
Cui Saburo said angrily: "That's my fifth brother!" β
"Please Cui Shilang's festival condolences and change, don't embarrass a certain general." The sergeant was polite and honest, but he would not let him go.
Cui Sanlang had no choice but to go back to his own case and sit down angrily, raised his head and drank a glass of wine, put down the wine glass, remembering that it was Du Hengshuang who reminded him of Cui Wulang's place just now, and couldn't help but squint his eyes and look over.
Du Hengshuang lowered his head and talked to Xu Yanchao, not daring to look at the movements of the Cui family.
β¦β¦
Emperor Yongchang ordered the imperial doctor who came in a hurry to go to the rockery to see what was going on with Mu Guifei, and he took people to the door of the small stone house on the edge of the rockery bushes on the side of the Taiye Pond to see Cui Wulang's situation. - Compared with Mu Guifei, Emperor Yongchang is more concerned about Cui Wulang's murder......
Cui Zhen really waited there with people.
Seeing Emperor Yongchang coming, Cui Zhenzhen hurriedly came over to salute.
Emperor Yongchang nodded, pointed to the small stone house, and asked Xu Shao, "Xu Aiqing, what do you think is going on?" β
Xu Shao looked around and muttered: "This small stone house has no windows, and the door latch is also locked from the house, and it can be seen that it is the door latched by the people in the house themselves." β
There was only the body of Cui Goro in the room, and it can also be said that it was Cui Goro who bolted the door.
"Why did Cui Wulang lock the door?" Emperor Yongchang asked.
"Perhaps, it's someone who wants to hide...... Xu Shao analyzed, "Maybe, I don't want to see anyone, so I hide here alone." β
"What about Cui Goro's entourage?" Xu Shao remembered that Cui Wulang had always had two servants following him.
"Go and call Cui Saburo." Emperor Yongchang commanded.
An attendant hurriedly went to the Taiji Hall to deliver the decree.
Cui Saburo hurried with the chamberlain, and saw the body of his fifth brother lying on the ground at a glance, and immediately came to his sorrow and cried on the ground.
Emperor Yongchang and Xu Shao looked at him silently, and when he finished crying, Xu Shao helped him up and persuaded: "Cui Shilang, people can't be resurrected after death, it's important to find the murderer." β
Cui Saburo choked up and said: "Although the younger brother is arrogant, he has no rivalry, and the minister really can't think of anyone who will harm his life!" β
Not to mention being in the palace, it is different from outside the palace. Ordinary people really can't do anything to the Cui family in the palace.
Although Cui Sanlang was very suspicious that Emperor Yongchang was the attacker, he felt that it didn't make sense. - Said that Emperor Yongchang wanted him to have the same life as his eldest brother, and the fifth brother had just turned eleven years old and had not yet reached the crown, so what was the use of Emperor Yongchang killing him?!
Emperor Yongchang let out a long sigh and said, "Although I am an emperor, it is really ...... that this kind of thing happened in the palace Alas, this palace is going to be rectified again. β
"Cui Shilang, where is your fifth brother's entourage?" Xu Shao walked around Cui Wulang's body twice and asked.
Cui Saburo shook his head, "I don't know what to do." We've been looking for them as well. They disappeared with my fifth brother. Now that the fifth brother is here, they ...... They must be more than lucky. β
The imperial doctor checked on Mu Guifei from the other side and came back. With a worried face, he said to Emperor Yongchang: "Your Majesty, the noble concubine is ...... The concubine ...... It's time for you! β
"Ahh Emperor Yongchang was shocked, "How can this be?!" Concubineββ! He shouted, holding the hand of the waiter, and stumbled towards the rockery.
Only Xu Shao and Cui Saburo were left here.
Xu Shao saw that it was the affairs of the inner palace over there, and he didn't want to get involved, so he continued to analyze with Cui Sanlang: "The house here is locked, and I heard that when they came in before, they kicked in the door. In other words, the murderer was the one who laid the hand in the house. He pointed to the arrow wound on Cui Golang's back.
The feathered arrow was stuck in his back. for he was turned over. The arrow was crushed, and an arrow peeked out from under him.
"But if the door is locked, and the murderer is in the house again, then when you came in just now. Did you find anyone else here? Xu Shao asked the little chamberlain who had just kicked in the door.
The little attendants shook their heads in unison. "Nope." This little stone house is just such a place. As soon as the door opened, all the places were clearly visible. We don't see anyone else here. - He's just the ......," he said, pointing to Choi Goro on the ground.
There was no one else in the house, and the house was locked. So how did Choi Goro get killed?
Could it be that Choi Goro committed suicide?
But with an arrow backhanded, he stuck it in his back and penetrated it all the way to his chest, such a suicide method, not to mention an eleven-year-old boy like Cui Wulang, even if he was an adult, he couldn't do it.
Since it is not suicide, it is homicide. Accidents are impossible. The accident will not be unexpected, and an arrow flying from outside the door just hits Cui Goro.
Xu Shao walked to the door and looked.
The door had been kicked to the ground, but now it had been lifted up by the chamberlain.
Closing the door, sunlight shone in through the small hole in the door and fell right on Choi Goro.
Xu Shao's heart moved, and he ordered someone to turn Cui Wulang over again and put him in the same way as when they came in before.
That spot of light landed right on the arrow wound on Cui Golang's back!
Cui Sanlang watched Xu Shao constantly measuring the distance back and forth, and couldn't help asking, "Lord Xu, did you find anything?" β
Xu Shao sighed: "I thought of a possibility, but I didn't think it was possible. - Brother Ling's death is really strange. β
Cui Zhenzhen listened quietly next to him for a long time, and then asked curiously, "What is possible?" Can you tell me about it? β
Xu Shao said lightly: "It's very simple, judging from the direction and depth of this arrow, the murderer needs to stand at least ten steps away, and shoot an arrow through this hole in order to hit Cui Wulang's back, and from the back to the chest." "Because this small stone house is very narrow, standing in front of the doorway and shooting it directly will not cause such a deep arrow wound. Of course, it will not be too far, and if it is too far, the strength will be exhausted.
To achieve such a speed of arrows, there must be a certain distance, and the strength of the bow must be large. Of course, it is more important to have such an accurate head to be able to penetrate through this small door hole with one arrow. Because they didn't find any other arrows here, only this one of the feathered arrows stuck in Cui Golang's back.
It's a real shot at the stone.
ββ¦β¦ This kind of archery is so miraculous that no one can do it. Xu Shao shook his head and walked out with his hands behind his back.
Cui Zhenzhen chuckled in the back: "You can't say that. I knew that there was a person in the Dao who had such a miraculous archery skill, and could pass through a small jade ring with an arrow ten steps away. - The small hole in the jade ring is much smaller than this doorway. Lord Xu is really a noble person who forgets things, you are very familiar with this person, how can you say that no one can do it? Lord Xu, you can't show favoritism......"
"Who?!" Cui Saburo stepped forward and asked, "There are not many people with such archery skills. And there are even fewer people who can be here today. As long as such people are found, the murderer must be among them! β
Cui Zhenzhen smiled, shook his head and said, "I don't know what others do." I only know that Du Hengshuang, the wife of the Qin State, has such archery skills and accuracy. - I also know that her younger brother, the third son of Lord Xu, has a holiday with my fifth brother. You forget, it was here in the first half of the year that my fifth brother and Xu Sangongzi fell into the Taiye Pool together, and almost gave their lives, and they all said that my fifth brother caused Xu Sangongzi to fall into the water. Then, Xu Sangongzi was pleased with the little county lord of Xiahou, but my fifth brother took the lead in ......"
