Liu Chengfeng took a closer look, only to find that the rockery had been moved, and under this rockery, a black cave was exposed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Cheng fanned his nose, and was a little unbearable by the stench emitted by the sludge, and couldn't help asking, "Who first discovered this authenticity?" ”

A lieutenant stood up and said, "It's humble." ”

Liu Chengfeng looked at this captain and continued to ask, "How did you find out?" ”

The captain said: "He was ordered to sit and explore the Taichang Temple, and found that there seemed to be something strange in the rockery, every time it rained, he heard the sound of flowing water under the rockery, and heard the messenger here say that the rockery had been haunted in the past, so he felt more and more suspicious, and after a careful investigation, he found this tunnel. ”

Liu Chengfeng nodded and said, "You're not afraid of ghosts?" ”

The captain said: "Don't be afraid of being humble." ”

Liu Chengfeng didn't say anything more, and found someone again: "Light a few lamps and let a few people go down with me to have a look." ”

Chen Hongyu hurriedly persuaded: "Adults can't, although the mud here is almost clear, but the cave wall is very slippery, adults can't take risks." ”

Liu Chengfeng pursed his lips and said, "What are you afraid of?" ”

Anyway, let people light the lamp, take a few people down, this cave is dug very deep, step by step, by the light, see the wall on both sides are thick moss, all the way down, a few times slippery feet, if a person comes in really feel terrible, the cave is one person high, the amount of work is not small, there are a lot of traces of rotten wood and stones, presumably the person who presided over the construction of the cave should be a guy who is familiar with the project, has walked hundreds of zhang to the end, there is a stone in front of the block, Presumably halfway through the project, for some reason, these people suddenly chose to give up.

Liu Chengfeng squinted, carefully looked at the cave, and then came out of the cave, when he came out, he was already wet, and there was a thick rancid smell, a captain gave him a cloak to put on, after Liu Chengfeng put it on, he said: "Look at the moss inside, this cave must have been dug for a long time, at least five or six years ago, maybe even further." ”

Li Dongdong said: "My lord, I'm afraid that five or six years ago, but it may not be, the student's recommendation should be in the Chenghua years." ”

Liu Chengfeng glanced at Li Dongdong and said, "You go on." ”

Li Dongdong cheered up and said: "During the Hongzhi period, it was not easy to dig such a big passage in the yamen, so I said that the factory guards did not check, are the people in this yamen blind and deaf?" But it was different during the Chenghua years, the first emperor was good at Huang Lao's technique, so the Manchu Dynasty followed suit with all the civil and military forces, and there were many ministers who personally alchemized, tribute into the palace, alchemy needed a Dan room, and the more refining what immortal medicine, the more secret, presumably at that time someone claimed to be refining the pill for the palace, building a Dan room in this yamen, in the name of this project let the craftsman come to fish and eyes to mix beads, on the surface is to build a secret room, but in fact, it is hidden evil, and at that time the court was disordered, the cabinet of clay sculptures, the book of paper paste, The whole court is thinking about how to win the favor of the emperor and the concubine, who is in the mood to take care of this? The eight immortals crossed the sea and showed their magical powers, and everyone only thought that the people who were digging caves here just wanted to change their tricks to meet the palace, and no one must have doubted it. ”

Liu Chengfeng felt reasonable, in fact, although he knew that the court was chaotic during the Chenghua Dynasty, but he did not have a deep experience, and Li Dongdong was different, he had experienced the Chenghua Dynasty, of course he knew what it was like during the Chenghua Dynasty, and dug a tunnel in this yamen, but no one even asked, except that there would be such a mess during the Chenghua Dynasty, I am afraid that there may not be it from ancient times to the present.

Liu Chengfeng said in a deep voice: "Who are the Taichang Siqing of the Chenghua Dynasty? Send someone for me to find out immediately. ”

After a while, Chen Hongyu came over and said: "There are two Taichang Siqing in the Chenghua Dynasty, one is called Wang An, and the other is called Yang Zuo. Yang Zuosu, who took over, was a good old man, and indeed offered a lot of pills to the first emperor, but the first emperor thought that his pills were ineffective, so he abandoned them, causing many people to laugh at him as a muddan temple. ”

Liu Chengfeng thought it was funny, Chenghua was interesting for a while, there was cotton and mud, and paper paste and clay sculptures also came on the field, this Nima's is too speechless.

But now that I think about it, this Nidan Siqing is the most suspicious, Liu Chengfeng said: "Carefully investigate the details of these two people, and report them immediately, their same year, hometown, friends, teachers and students, none of them should be missed, and their heirs also need to be investigated, go ahead, don't delay." ”

Liu Chengfeng went to the wing room in the backyard and sat down noisily, this is clearly the resting place of the Honglu Temple, but Liu Chengfeng didn't feel any restraints, and asked someone to pour tea, and he was even thinking that if he let people know that someone surrounded the Honglu Temple tomorrow, he would definitely cause an uproar again.

But what about the uproar? At the moment, the palace is most concerned about Mingjiao, and such a big thing has been discovered here, even if they break their throats, they can't move a single hair of willow and wind.

In a sense, Jin Yiwei is only afraid of being in the limelight under his leadership this time, and after this incident, Jin Yiwei's waist is probably a little straighter.

He sat and took a nap, and I don't know how much time had passed, Chen Hongyu and the others finally came back and came in to say, "My lord, there is news." ”

He first talked about Wang An's details, Liu Chengfeng pondered carefully for a while, and found that there was nothing unusual, but Yang Zuo's details made Liu Chengfeng interested.

Yang Zuo, once served as the director of the Ministry of Engineering, is a protégé of Liu Ji, a university scholar, and then promoted to Taichang Temple, for Dali Temple Zhengqing, because of the surname of the cunning, flattery, but also good refining pills, although the level of alchemy is not good, but the first emperor treated him well, most likely to see that he has no merit and hard work.

Every time this person is on duty, he has always ignored the temple affairs, but devoted himself to alchemy, stirring up this yamen, and specially hired a few Danshi to concentrate on alchemy with him, at that time there was indeed news that Yang Zuo was building a Dan room here, and specially ordered a few Danshi to keep an eye on it, and no one was allowed to approach, the reason was that he was afraid that someone would pollute the fairy qi.

When the Chenghua Dynasty was in the Chenghua Dynasty, there were all kinds of chickens, flying dogs, and Yang Zuo was the Zhengqing of Taichang Temple, so everyone was not surprised, and they didn't dare to violate other people's rules, but later, this matter was over, and everyone didn't care at that time, who knew that there was such a shocking conspiracy behind this alchemy.

Liu Chengfeng squinted his eyes and said, "Is Yang Zuo still there now?" ”

Chen Hongyu said: "In the first year of Hongzhi, His Majesty ordered him to be a minister, and in the fifth year of Hongzhi, he died. ”

Liu Chengfeng thought for a while and continued to ask, "Who else is in his family?" ”

Chen Hongyu said: "There is an only son, but a year after his death, he also died one after another, his hometown is in Xuanfu, at that time, it seems that he found that he was poisoned and died, this matter is not small, even Xuanfu Jinyiwei also went to investigate, but for a while could not find anything, and finally the local government asked for a sentence of accidental ingestion of poison." ”

"Ingested?" Liu Chengfeng squinted his eyes and said lightly: "What poison did you ingest by mistake?" ”

"Elixir." When Chen Hongyu said it, even he felt funny, which can be regarded as lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot.

Liu Chengfeng's face was even more solemn: "So our clues have been broken, and there are still a few Danshi invited by Yang Zuo, have you ever inquired about the details?" ”

"This ......" Chen Hongyu smiled bitterly: "I really can't find out if I am lowly, I am afraid that it will take some time." ”

Liu Chengfeng said: "Go, call some old officials from Honglu Temple, and the official wants to question." ”

Chen Hongyu went, and after a while, there was an old official with a white beard coming in, an iron battalion of flowing soldiers, in any yamen, although the officials are often rotated, but all kinds of miscellaneous officials will not be replaced, this old official must have also stayed in Taichang Temple for decades, and he was very clear about the rules in the officialdom, and he saluted as soon as he came in: "The villain has seen the adult." ”

Liu Chengfeng said: "When Yang Zuo was here, were you also here on an errand?" ”

"Back to my lord, when Lord Yang was here, the villain was indeed on business in Taichang Temple, and he was mainly responsible for sorting out official documents at that time, I don't know what the adults commanded?"

Liu Chengfeng asked: "When Yang Zuo was here, were there a few Taoist priests who often went in and out of Taichang Temple?" ”

"This ...... There are indeed a couple of ......"

"Do you have any contact with these people?"

"They have never talked to people, and the villains have a low status and dare not talk to them."

Liu Chengfeng squinted and said, "You really don't know anything about their details?" ”

The old official's head shook like a rattle, and said, "Who are the villains, those are the immortals, how can you say anything to people like the villain?" He suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Yes, the villain remembered, one of the immortals seems to be the leader of these Taoists, Lord Yang obeys his words, it is said that this immortal is surnamed Mu, I heard Lord Yang call him Mu Xianshi, this person has said a few words to the villain, but they are all ordinary orders, but his accent is like the accent of Jiangxi, yes, there is no mistake, the adults don't know, the villain's mother is from Jiujiang Mansion, and there are many relatives from Nanchang Mansion, the accent is exactly the same, The villain originally wanted to use this relationship to talk to the wood fairy, but who knew that he would no longer pay attention to the villain after listening to my words. ”

Nanchang ...... Surname Mu ......

Liu Chengfeng's head suddenly became big.

"Where did all these alchemy Taoist priests go?"

"Later...... Later, it disappeared, and it used to come every three or five days, but suddenly there was such a day, as if it disappeared out of thin air, at that time the villain still wondered, Lord Yang didn't say anything at the time, it seems that since those immortals left, every day with a bitter face, once said to the villain, it's over, it's over, disaster is coming. ”
