Section 277 Mystical Tunnels
Present!
Bai Minghe is really painful, gold, silver and jewelry can be earned again, and the textbook he wrote for his son is definitely the only one of Daming. Can you keep this thing for yourself?
Or is it a little bit less?
No! This assumption is impossible, the other party is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the head of everyone in the entire Ming Dynasty is in his control. It's okay to make a little mistake, even if things are messed up, it doesn't matter, even if you take your troops out to fight, and you lose a lot of money.
The only thing that is unacceptable is deception.
This is the supreme imperial power!
Bai Minghe fell asleep on the way home, but when he woke up, he saw Huaiyu standing in front of him.
"You ......" Bai Minghe wanted to ask Huaiyu, what are you doing here? But without asking, Huaiyu covered Bai Minghe's mouth, and then approached Bai Minghe and said in a very small voice: "Brother-in-law, I found a very interesting place!" β
"Very, interesting?" Bai Minghexin said, I'm afraid that all the people in this house have been inspected by the people of Dongchang.
Huaiyu pulled the white crane and walked to the house, and the people in the inner courtyard were busy with their feet not sticking to the ground. Whether it's because the New Year is coming soon, or Princess Yongqing is about to get married, there are too many things to prepare.
The royal marriage is not child's play.
Bai Minghe was pulled directly into the back garden of the inner courtyard by Huaiyu, when Huaiyu first moved over, it was originally a garden handyman, because this prince's mansion was abandoned for many years and idle, and then because Huaiyu lived in the house that was temporarily changed to Xiaodaotang, Bai Minghe took a breath and asked Huaiyu: "According to the rules, it's not that you can't meet before the wedding." Didn't they take you back to the palace? β
"I was only taken into the palace seven days before the wedding, and I heard that there was no place for me to live in the palace. Entering the palace seven days in advance, I have no problem staying with the Queen Mother for a few days, and it would be too troublesome to clean up a palace earlier. I'm afraid I won't be able to live for even five days when I pack it up, and I can't live too long with the Queen Mother. β
Shira-nami Crane scratched his hair, seemingly justified. However, I vaguely felt that something might be wrong.
Just as he was about to ask something more, he saw Huaiyu pulling him under the bed.
It was under Huaiyu's bed, and Huaiyu lit a candle. Then he pointed to one of the planks and said, "You see that the color of this one is different from the others, and I found something interesting below." β
The planks weren't heavy, and they were moved to the side without even using a knife.
There is a square box below, and then there are nine numbers, one to nine, neatly arranged, with the top row being one, two, and three, the middle being four, five, and six, and the bottom being seven, eight, and nine.
Huaiyu looked at the white crane expectantly. He pointed to the number nine.
"It's really funny, I didn't think there would be a secret here. Alas, Lake! "Bai Minghe has been in Daming for so long, in addition to encountering the mysterious box for the first time, and then picking up the princess Huaiyu, he actually found something very mysterious, such as the nine-square grid in front of him.
This is a key, Huaiyu asked very clearly, Jin Ying told her when she came to see her. The guidance of Shirana Crane is limited to this. If the white crane stops here, it means that the white crane does not have this fate. So Huaiyu is looking forward to the white crane being able to solve this.
Shirana Crane reached out and tried it. This seems to be a piece of iron.
Each piece weighs three or four pounds, and you only need to pry it up a little bit with a knife, and you will have a corner to start with. Take out a piece, and the back one can be taken directly by hand.
Holding it in his hand, Bai Minghe saw clearly that this was copper and not iron. And the length below is not consistent, but the difference is not large, the longest one and the shortest, the difference is less than half an inch.
"Brother-in-law!" Huaiyu snorted softly beside him.
Bai Minghe waved his hand: "This is not difficult, but I don't know what the result will be." Will there be danger. β
"This is the Prince's Mansion that has not been used for a long time, and is it not the prison cell or secret vault of the East Factory!" Huaiyu grinned, a little disdainful of Bai Minghe's caution.
The nine bronze pillars were quickly rearranged under the arrangement of the white cranes, obviously of different lengths, and they were no longer a plane. Bai Minghe stretched out his hand and pressed it gently, only to hear a click, and all nine pieces collapsed, and then a hole cracked in the floor next to him.
Open that floor, and inside is an iron handle. When I pulled hard, I could clearly hear the sound of chains rolling, and a hole appeared in the place where the bed was against the wall, and then there were steps.
The white crane tried the hole with a candle, and there was some breeze inside, apparently there was air.
"No, it's not fun, there will be snakes in it!" Huaiyu just stepped back, no matter what reason she found, she would definitely not go in. Because Jin Ying has confessed, for her life, for the life of Bai Minghe. She must not go in, this leads to there, Huaiyu knows.
There is no man who does not like to explore, and Bai Minghe stared at the entrance of the cave and couldn't help the temptation.
Brought a few candles, and then took two short knives.
Just as Bai Minghe drilled into the hole, Huaiyu quickly stuffed a paper roll into Bai Minghe's hand, quickly drilled out from under the bed, and then locked the door of the room from the outside.
At this moment, the white crane seemed to react, and Huaiyu seemed to know something.
Under the candlelight, Bai Minghe saw that the envelope read: Come out and look again, the payment is Jin Ying.
It's just a tunnel, it's all reinforced with stone bars, so there's no danger at all, and it's very short. The exit was still a staircase, and there was a winch next to the stairs, so that the light could be seen overhead with little effort.
When Shira-naka Crane walked up the steps, he saw a little girl about two or three years old squatting on the ground staring at him.
"Ahh There was a scream, then the sound of a copper basin falling to the ground, and the white crane saw the figure of a woman running out. Shira-nathan could vaguely sense that this was there, and first took out a few pieces of candy from his pocket. It's not that Bai Minghe likes to eat sugar, this was confiscated from Zhu Jianshen when he was on the boat.
It's not good for small children to eat too much sugar.
The white crane is not an ordinary sugar, not to mention that the raw material is snow sugar, and it is mixed with fruit juice and spices from the South Seas. So these pieces of candy are colorful, and the little girl likes it very much.
Then the little girl gave a salute, which is very authentic etiquette of the Ming Imperial Palace.
The white crane is even more sure who this person in front of him is.
Princess Jiashan of the Ming Dynasty, her mother is Concubine Liu Jing. Then this is the South Palace, the South Palace separated by a wall from where the white crane lives. There is also the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty who is under house arrest, Zhu Qizhen.
"You're Jiashan?" Bai Minghe asked in a low voice, knowing that this was a princess, but he didn't respect it. Because Jiashan is counted according to the Ming Dynasty, he is the younger generation of the white-named crane. The white crane has a reason, and is qualified not to use the honorific title, even if other colts need it.
The little girl's eyes widened and she blinked. Looking at Bai Minghe, it would be good for a three-year-old child to understand and remember his name, she was just curious about why Bai Minghe knew him.
A noblewoman dressed very ordinarily, without a single ornament on her body, but still wearing the hair of the imperial concubine, rushed in and hugged the little girl in her arms, and looked at Bai Minghe with an extremely vigilant look. Judging from the official uniform of the white crane, this official is just a petty official from the sixth grade.
But a petty official from the sixth rank wears a goldfish bag, and the official uniform is embroidered with python patterns.
The white crane did not speak again, but sat cross-legged on the ground.
It seems that he has found himself in a big trouble, this Nangong is not an ordinary place. Thinking of the letter again, Jin Ying told SΓΉ to come out and read it again, that is, now that he is here, Jin Ying knows.
Then the next analysis is that Jin Ying knows that the Ming Emperor also knows. If you need to sue yourself afterwards, then Huaiyu can wait for herself to go out and then sue herself. There must be some reason why you have to tell yourself in advance, but ask yourself to go out and read the letter again.
In any case, at this time, Bai Minghe is telling himself that unconditional trust in Jin Ying is the right choice.
Looking at the people around him, Shiraku-ming Crane turned around and walked down the tunnel. As soon as I turned around, I heard someone shouting outside the door: "Stop!" β
Shira-Minghe stopped, and he didn't have to guess that Shira-Minghe knew who was behind it? He just stopped standing there, but didn't turn around.
The voice asked again, "Do you know what it is to turn your back on me?" β
The white crane still didn't turn around, but just sat down on the same place, just sitting on the steps. After sitting down, Shirana Crane really began to think, starting with the history he knew. I remember that there was a TV show that the gate of Nangong was locked and filled with lead, all the surrounding trees were cut down, and even food was handed in from a small hole.
But at the moment, this period of history is not true, at least in my own eyes.
Based on the number of people who see Nangong right now, they rely on the small hole to hand over food, so how big is this small hole. Do you keep handing out food from morning to night every day? If Yan zhΓ²ng's food and clothing are insufficient, then the faces of these people should be very poor. At least now it's winter, and even if you freeze, you can freeze half of it to death.
Shira-nathan does not know the real history, and in later generations, Shira-naka does not study history either.
The real history is that after Zhu Qiyu's son died of an unexpected illness, Zhu Qiyu was afraid of his brother's reinstatement day and night, and at the same time wondered if his brother was cursing him for having no queen. What's even stricter is that since he ascended the throne, there have been many women in the harem, but he just hasn't come out anymore.
One of his sons and two daughters were all born before he became emperor.
Therefore, in the real history, what Zhu Qiyu fears most in his inner world is the punishment of God and his ancestors.
Therefore, in the real history, all kinds of oppression of the Emperor Nangong were actually after the death of Zhu Qiyu's own son, but not now. At least for now, Zhu Qiyu still has some brotherly feelings in his heart. (To be continued......)
