Outside the Qixia Palace, it is the time when the verdant is full of eyes, a large area of bamboo forest, the wind is swaying wantonly, and the green is as if it wants to come out with the wind. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info When it comes to Shen, the sun will gradually go west, and where the brilliant beam of the sunset passes, whether it is the golden glazed tiles, the vermilion high palace wall, or the white jade masonry carved railing, the bronze unicorn door knocker, and the Huanghuali door and window lattice, all of which are lit with a layer of color belonging to time.

Huang Chun's full-body uniform stood outside the hall, the inner single clothes were as white as the first snow, lining the clean neck skin, and the outside from the second rank prince and young master civil official supplement was also clean, as if there was no trace of the dust and dust servants who were escorted back to Pengcheng, and there was no trace of the death of the mentor and the uncertainty of the life and death of the fiancée.

He can always control his internal and external emotions to the level of perversion, which has always been a disguise he practiced in the pain of crying blood in his heart for many nights in the fatigue of life and death in the Dark Sentinel Martial Arts School, in the war with Luo Wei, and in the various red spies in Xinyue Beiming.

After waiting for a few hours, a small firefighter finally came, "The eldest princess summons." ”

He calmly answered yes, and followed the little firer, through the front hall, through the white marble royal road with new blue spring grass on both sides, and crossed the threshold of the main hall of Qixia Palace, in the silence, he saluted to the eldest princess who was spreading out a table and leaning on the side of the small table: "Weichen see the eldest princess." ”

The whole hall was extremely quiet, although there was still a distance between them, but even the snorts of each other's breaths could be faintly heard. It is obvious that the eldest princess has already sent away the people around her, and intends to talk with her secretly.

The eldest princess didn't look at Huang Chun, only bowed her head slightly to signal him to be exempt, and still twisted the pattern on the table next to her hand to tie flowers, "This ability to tie flowers, in this harem, this palace is the first one, and it is the most ingenious embroidery girl in the embroidery room, and it can't go beyond the palace." ”

As if she was very proud of her work, the eldest princess put a delicate red velvet crown in front of her eyes and played with it, "This palace and my brother are both from civilian backgrounds, although this flower is not in the eyes of those who are high-ranking and wealthy enough to wear gold and silver, but in the people, it is the jewelry that ordinary girls can show the most."

Every year, the craftsmen who tie flowers as the industry make tens of millions of flowers, dye silk for hibiscus, twist wax for Ling lotus, silk threads form stamens, hairpins out the most fashionable appearance, and then do hairpins, crown combs, hairpin rings, collar trowels, along the street to buy all the way through, girls fight grass and play flowers, so lively. ”

Huang Chun listened quietly below, bowing his head from time to time to show that he was listening.

"That's it," the eldest princess suddenly seemed to wake up from her memories, and laughed at herself, "This palace is old, and what I miss the most is always those things when I was a child, but unfortunately, people can't go back." ”

Huang Chun looked at the majestic woman in front of her, the outside of the lantern brocade silk robe was full of luxurious Dongzhu handicap, the appropriately proportioned gold and silver silk threads showed an elegant moire style, and the head was combed high and covered with jade gold and silver, and the silk flowers pressed the temples, which looked even more glamorous.

The eldest princess carefully looked at Huang Chun's gaze, but from that gaze she found a kind of mercy for a man's woman, this pity pierced her heart, and suddenly aroused some thoughts, "Do you know that this palace doesn't kill you, just because of her son." ”

"Wechen knows." Huang Chun's tone was neither humble nor arrogant.

The eldest princess raised two black eyebrows, and her slender eyes shone with a threatening light, "But the life of your so-called fiancée has nothing to do with the son of this palace." ”

"Yes." Huang Chun still didn't seem to take the initiative to speak.

The eldest princess was a little irritable, took a sip of the tea in her hand, her fingers tapped lightly on the teacup, but her eyes still looked at Huang Chun, "Then tell me, what you think." ”

"We're honored. Weichen got the prince of Tianning County," Speaking of this, Huang Chun suddenly looked up at the eldest princess, and saw that she was so called Wang Geng's face was calm, Fang continued, "Weichen is an ordinary and humble person, favored by the prince of Tianning County, and the case of the catastrophe in Princess Yaoyue's mansion was verified for several months, and finally came to light, so the facts of this case were written in accordance with the Beiming legal system to present the eldest princess's phoenix eyes. ”

As he spoke, he took out the fold from his sleeve, took a few steps forward, put his hands in front of the eldest princess, and waited for the eldest princess to take the fold before returning to the original place and standing, "The witnesses and testimonies mentioned in the recital have all been handed over to the Tianning County King for detention and verification. ”

The eldest princess read the notebook, her nose twitched slightly, and her expression seemed to have lost her warmth, only the sharply contoured lips, opened and closed, and looked back and forth with sarcasm, one by one while reading and commenting, asking:

"'There are three crucial doubts in the case of the Princess's Mansion fire, and if we solve these three points, we can follow the vine and thoroughly investigate the root cause of the case.

First, it was the explosives that exploded that day, and after investigation, it was verified that they were part of the weapons that I sold or pre-sold to Luo Wei in Beiming. As for this part of the records, the maritime import and export goods have been verified, and the agreement signed between us and Luo Wei should be the part that has been sold, but why should the military dangerous goods that have been sold appear in the mansions of Princess Yaoyue and General Zhu Yinghong? 'yes, why?' ”

As she spoke, she looked at Huang Chun and motioned for him to explain the conclusions he had verified.

Huang Chun bowed his hand slightly, gave a salute, and replied: "Hui eldest princess, after many investigations, Weichen has verified General Fu Yannian, who is known as Jing Jinshui, that with the approval of Prince Rui, the agreement signed by us and Luo Wei is divided into two types: nominal agreement and actual agreement.

In the actual agreement, 30% of the low-priced military supplies sold will be used as the remuneration for Prince Rui's help in reducing the average value of military supplies, and will be fed back to Prince Rui's account. And because Luo Wei was in the midst of a civil war, this batch of goods was directly registered with the maritime department as a 'floating' part, and was not transported to sea, but hoarded in several warehouses under the control of Prince Rui, and was registered and recorded by General Fu.

Wechen also checked the original number of warehouses and the accounts, and found that in the current two shipments, all the unshipped goods have not been sold, but some of them are missing, and there is no relevant explanation, and the warehouse management of the missing part is very strict, and the guards are strict, which can basically rule out theft.

Subsequently, Wechen tortured several servants who survived the Princess's Mansion that day and served in the front yard, and learned from Princess Yaoyue's personal maid Xiran that Prince Rui had given General Zhu Yinghong a cart of items many times, but the mansion had never seen what this cart item was, so Wechen dared to infer that the items in this cart were explosives and other items that were missing.

Therefore, the princess's personal maid has never seen those carts of goods, because these items are inconvenient for the princess to know the details. Presumably, General Zhu Yinghong left these items for the time being, and because he did not have the opportunity to get rid of these items because he wanted to keep some private money, because he didn't want the princess and the Song family to know about the profits in Prince Rui's transaction, or because some friends or interpersonal contacts in the officialdom - he left these items for the time being, and because he didn't have the opportunity to get rid of these items for a while, and these items were very stable in nature, they all had safety chain links, and unusual flames and the like could be ignited, so General Zhu temporarily stored these items in the underground hidden warehouse in the remote backyard.

But in the end, General Zhu himself was buried in the fire because of his desperate rescue of the princess and the little prince, judging from the outcome of this fact, General Zhu never thought of the situation outside of this, it was really unintentional, and the thoughts of the person who gave him this thing are not known. ”

The eldest princess listened to his narration, and while looking at his statement on this point in the recital, her eyebrows frowned tightly, and after a long time, she said, this article is similar to what the palace thinks, you say your second point, and as she spoke, she turned the recital back:

"'Second, why the final fire burst with the smoke poison mixed with amalgam oil. Yellow mercury oil is specially made by the Beiming Naval Division to deal with Luo Wei yellow gunpowder, a prohibited product with a large amount of poisonous gas. In the country, except for the war, any trade in Huanggong oil is forbidden, let alone the sale of it to other countries.

The storage of yellow mercury oil in the country is a top secret, and because its production is made separately, the final synthesis, like its development and storage, can be mastered by extremely limited people, General Zhu and Princess Yaoyue's mansion are not likely to have any contact with this item, so where does the mercury oil in the backyard that intensified the explosion and caused malignant poisoning come from? ’”

If you look at this paragraph again, the eldest princess's face is even more cloudy.

Huang Chun didn't see it, and only then replied: "Weichen remembers that Xiao Shizi insisted that day he must leave the house to find Princess Yaoyue to play with General Zhu, saying that he couldn't unlock it because he got a rare item. Wei Chen was derelict in his duties, he thought it was a child playing, and Xiao Shizi was very lonely when he grew up alone, and often went to the princess's mansion to play, so at that time, Wei Chen did not think deeply about what Xiao Shizi had gained.

Until this thorough investigation of the matter, the personal guards who accompanied the escort Xiao Shizi all died that day, only the coachman Yan Jiu who was waiting outside survived a death, according to his recollection, that day Xiao Shizi went all the way from the market and the lantern festival to the princess's mansion, as he used to go out, all the guards with him were stripped of their money, used to buy all kinds of novel folk gadgets that Xiao Shizi liked, and finally passed by a rock sugar gourd stall, and there was no silver tael, Xiao Shizi insisted that it was inconvenient to take advantage of the small people, He opened a small box that he was holding with joy, took out a packet of medicinal powder from it, and exchanged it for a sugar gourd with the stall owner.

Wei Chen then went to inquire according to Yan Jiu's description of the physical characteristics of the sugar gourd stall owner, confirmed that this was indeed the case, and bought back this package of Xiao Shizi's so-called novel "medicinal powder" from his hand" Huang Chun said, carefully took out the bag of physical evidence from the inner coat, and presented it to the eldest princess again.

Weichen went to the War Division, the Ordnance Industry Department and other places, and a number of superb managers carefully explored this thing, and confirmed that this thing was mercury fire oil powder. Because when a trace amount of amalgamal fire oil powder is not driven by bursting, if it is only flying in the air to enjoy the play, it may produce a colorful scene like fireflies in the sky, and the brilliance is dazzling, and it can also be seen during the day, so it is likely that the person who gave this box of prohibited yellow mercury fire oil powder to Xiao Shizi is to catch this characteristic and attract the attention of children, so as to hand.

As for who gave it to Xiao Shizi, so such items are not in the daily registration of Shizi's mansion, they are often personal maids or guards, or they may be gifts from people in the palace who are good friends with Xiao Shizi, because foreign objects entering the Shizi's mansion must be inspected and registered, only this batch of personal attendants selected by the eldest princess and your own hand, as well as the prince's masters personally selected by the lord and Song Guifei Niangniang, can do it. ”

Having said this, the eldest princess was even more furious, threw the fold in front of Huang Chun, and angrily reprimanded: "What about the third point, the nature of the first two you call is usually relatively stable, and there must be enough burning amount and burning point to ignite and release huge damage, so in the backyard of the princess's mansion, it is just a fire for cooking pots, how can there be such ignitions, and who doesn't want to live?" The first point is that someone took advantage of General Zhu's careless storage, the second point is that someone took advantage of Xiao Shizi's childlike innocence, and what about the third point? You can't say that someone took advantage of Princess Yaoyue, and what did they do, right? ”

The eldest princess was angry. Regarding the matter of this ignition object, Wei Chen is not conclusive, but only inferred," Huang Chun bowed down and squatted, picked up the notebook that was still at his feet, closed it, stroked the dust on it slightly, bowed his hand, and then replied, "The attendants and servants of Princess Yaoyue's Mansion are all people who are selected by the Song family, who are related to each other, and have one interest, not to mention such an earth-shattering thing. Wei Chen was inclined to judge that although the explosion in the kitchen that day was the fuse that ignited everything, it was not the work of the attendants. ”

"Oh, why did the kitchen suddenly burst like this?" The eldest princess narrowed her long eyes again.

"This kind of thing of the kitchen suddenly bursting, there has been such a time around Weichen," he said, he looked at the eldest princess and smiled slightly, "Did the eldest princess ever know such a joke, back then, in the Cuiwei Marquis Mansion, someone was in the kitchen to study tools that could automatically add firewood and blow fire, but because they failed to take care of it for a while, they blew up the kitchen of the Cuiwei Marquis Mansion." If there is such a device concocted in the same way, in the same way, to help the servants of the Eldest Princess's Mansion add firewood and blow fire, and at this time, the Eldest Princess's Mansion has been led out for a short time because of various things, then what will happen? ”

The eldest princess finally couldn't hold her breath, threw the teacup in her hand, and the teacup fell straight to the marble tile floor, shattering to the ground, and almost at the same moment, the two columns of swords and axes of the dark whistle rushed out together.

……

Kong Lifei couldn't help but ridicule Sheng Zheng, and led the two of us to the kitchen where he claimed to be a gift for Luo'er.

When I walked into the kitchen, Kong Lifei and I couldn't help laughing together.

Sheng Zheng put one shoulder on Kong Lifei's left shoulder slightly, and said, "Happy, really happy, it's hot enough" "Isn't it?" "I look at the kitchen full of red light: the lamps, the walls, the tables and chairs, and even the rolling table and rolling pin are all pasted with the word "red happiness", the north side is against the wall, and the east side has a set of the same kitchen stove that seems to be the upgraded version of the "automatic firewood" stove head device, but there is a chair that leaks out of the double happiness pattern on the side of the fire, the chair and the kitchen stove are fixed in a complete set, the opening and closing device is not very convenient, and it must be unlocked through a set of nine rings. Fang found such a grinding method.

On a long workbench table, long and short are full of all kinds of rolling pins, and in the storage room below, the preparation of various dishes is gradually in full swing, and Sheng Zheng and I discussed the menu for the day of the wedding banquet to see:

Double happiness of dragon and phoenix, double happiness of bird's nest, double happiness of gold and silver duck, double happiness salmon, double happiness balls......

Sauce fried pig fork, raw roast lamb fork, tripe slices, eight immortals across the sea, called flower chicken......

Loquat wine, honey garden, mushroom elbow flower, longan taro soup......

"How? Is there any supplement? Kong Lifei asked with a grin, leaning on my shoulders with Sheng Zheng.

"No," I said to him, very solemnly and solemnly, "definitely representing the different tastes of the double happiness bridegroom, the hard vegetable bride, and the sweet elders." ”

Laughter filled the room.

On the day of Kong Lifei and Xiong Luo'er's wedding, the weather was very bright and sunny, it was a clear lilac sky, and the morning sun was smeared on the bricks and tiles of the streets and alleys, all of which were not as difficult to walk as heavy as when I married Qin Qing, although it seemed to be a little less beautiful with red makeup in the snow, but it was rare for all relatives and friends to race one by one, especially Prince Ning and Huang Chun, who went earlier than me.

I haven't been so lively for a long time, and witnessed such a sweet scene, my mind gradually became a little trance, maybe it was because of a few glasses, the bubbling thoughts in the bottom of my heart made all the scenes become trance, in a trance the groom hugged the bride, in a trance in the mother of Confucius will be very valuable heirloom double wind peony dot the green head, neatly inserted on the bride's good green silk, in a trance to hand over a glass of wine, concentric knots, worship heaven and earth, and express heartfelt feelings...... I am happy for Kong Lifei, but for some reason, my chest is full of bitter sorrow and trouble......
