Chapter 029: Restaurant Chatter
"You stupid woman who is not ashamed, you even beat me." After Tang Fengran felt the pain on his head, he was not to be outdone, and directly stretched out his nails and scratched a few blood marks on Shen Hanyun's face.
"Ah, my face!" Shen Hanyun let out a miserable scream and scuffled with Shen Hanyun.
Watching the two women fighting like shrews, their clothes in tatters, unable to stop their fair skin, Shen Chen sincerely felt tired.
He always thought that Tang Fengran was beautiful, delicate and gentle, who would have thought that he would be such a vulgar style in his bones.
He regretted marrying her.
As everyone knows, Tang Fengran thought the same way.
Tang Fengqing ignored the Shen family's chickens and dogs jumping after she left.
She hadn't eaten for a long time, and her stomach was still empty, so she casually found a restaurant and stepped in.
also has Tang Yingqi by his side.
Tang Yingqi is a silent person, and she has not the slightest objection to her decision.
As soon as I entered the restaurant, I heard someone chatting at the wine table, "Have you heard, two corpses were dug up from a house on South Street, which is called a miserable." ”
The man in his hand was suspicious, and picked a thorn in it, "Just kidding, if there really are so many corpses in the house, the owner would not know?" ”
"What am I lying to you about?" The drunkard who spoke before took another sip of turbid wine and talked exaggeratedly, "That house has been abandoned for twenty or thirty years, and there is usually no ghost, but this time it was a beggar who broke in by mistake and found that something was wrong in the dry well, and went directly to report to the official." ”
This kind of gossip is circulating every day in the capital.
Tang Feng ignored it lightly, raised his feet and was about to go upstairs.
As a result, the drunkard's next sentence made her stop.
"This incident also alarmed King Chen, the housekeeper of King Chen's Mansion also came to this house at noon, and I bumped into him."
Tang Fengqing now frowned subconsciously as soon as he heard the housekeeper of the Chenwang Mansion.
He stopped and listened.
The man next to the drunkard didn't believe it, sneered and waved his hand, "You just blow it, that's the butler of the palace, do you recognize it?" ”
"Is my Zhang Laosan a braggart? When we were children, we played together, but his family was poor, and he couldn't afford to eat, just at this time the Li family on the street gave birth to a little son, he was bought and trained, ready to let him be a playmate for the Li family's son, I don't know what he has experienced, and now he has become the housekeeper of the palace. ”
The drunkard looked embarrassed.
Seeing his childhood partner mix better than him, this heart is really unbalanced.
At this moment, Tang Fengqing walked over and threw a thick piece of gold at Zhang Laosan's table.
"Come here, I'll get you some news."
The third child was alert, and although he was moved to see the orange glittering gold on the table, he didn't dare to take it, and looked at Tang Fengqing directly.
"What does the girl want to ask?" The drunkard suddenly regretted his swagger.
Tang Fengqing gave the people around him a look.
The crowd fled like rats seeing cats, and a vacuum appeared nearby.
Tang Fengqing sat down peacefully, his face cold, "I want to ask about the Li family." ”
If she guessed correctly, this Li family should be Aunt Li's maiden family.
After Zhang Laosan learned that what she wanted to know was this, he breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the gold on the table and put it in his arms, and slowly spoke.
"Although the Li family is not rich and noble, but it is also a scholar, and it is also a character on our street, but twenty-four years ago, Master Li and Mrs. Li suddenly disappeared in front of people, and the relatives of the Li family immediately scraped their family property clean, leaving two teenage children, and almost starved to death, and later I heard that the eldest lady of the Li family went to be a concubine for a large family, and the eldest son went to join the army."
Tang Feng groaned lightly.
According to Zhang Laosan's words, this Li family is really the same family as he thinks.
Zhang Laosan sighed again at the impermanence of the world.
Tang Fengqing couldn't help but interrupt him, "The year when the Li family's parents disappeared, was it the year when King Chen was found?" ”
Zhang Laosan's face was stunned, and after thinking about it, Mu Ran nodded.
Before he came back to his senses, Tang Feng threw another bombshell, "Did the couple who adopted King Chen also go to Jiangnan to retire back then?" ”
Zhang Laosan's expression suddenly broke as if he had thought of something.
"This girl, I think there is an urgent matter at home, so I'll go first." He's gossipy, but he doesn't want to lose his life for this!
It's not easy at first glance.
Three things happened in the same year, and no one believes that it is a coincidence.
Watching Zhang Laosan leave, Tang Fengqing did not stop him, but went to the house where the body was found on South Street.
It was too late for her to get there, and the body had already been taken away by the Yamen, and I heard that it was just an ordinary homicide.
Tang Fengqing turned around and went directly to the Tiger Cavalry General's Mansion to meet him.
As soon as Li Zhao heard that Tang Fengqing had come to his house, he had a headache, but he still came out to see her, but from the beginning, he had a dark face, and the disappointment on his face was obvious.
"General, have you heard, a body was found in a house on South Street." Tang Feng lightly picked up the carved teacup in his hand, put it to his mouth and took a sip gently, his eyebrows were leisurely, as if he was just gossiping.
Li Zhao snorted lightly, "Miss Tang came to my house just to talk about the family's strengths and weaknesses?" ”
"Naturally not," Tang Feng said slowly, as if he was deliberately hanging people's appetites, and continued with a light sigh, "The house where the body was found is the place where King Chen lived when he was a child, and as far as I know, that place has been uninhabited since twenty-six years ago. ”
After King Chen was recovered by the first emperor, he was named the king with a different surname.
He and the current saint are brothers, but the two were pushed to opposite sides by the throne.
Both of them were eager to get rid of each other and sit in that position themselves.
However, the first emperor preferred King Chen.
Although Li Zhao is a military general, he is not stupid, his eyes are staring at Tang Fengqing, "What do you want to say?" ”
"I mean, there were a lot of strange things at the beginning, after the couple surnamed Chen who adopted King Chen moved away, the house has not been inhabited, but two bodies suddenly appeared, do you think the disappearance of your parents is really just a coincidence?"
Since a long time ago, Tang Fengqing has been thinking about it.
Since Aunt Li and Li Zhao are brother and sister, why does Aunt Li despise him so much?
How did the housekeeper of Chenwang's Mansion get involved with Aunt Li.
And the departure of the couple surnamed Chen, and the disappearance of the Li family, is it really just a coincidence?
All this is just hiding an earth-shattering conspiracy.
Li Zhao became more and more irritable, bruised tendons appeared on his forehead, and his eyes seemed to be about to eat people, "You little girl, what are you going to say!" ”
"Don't you think that the departure of the businessman surnamed Chen is related to the disappearance of your parents, and the bodies found now are most likely your parents!"
The reason why Tang Fengqing had this guess was because of Zhang Laosan's words.
The housekeeper of Chenwang's Mansion used to be a companion for the son of the Li family.
She connected everything, and the explanations that didn't make sense made sense.
Li Zhao slapped the pear wood table in his hand to pieces, and his eyebrows were fierce, "You fart, my parents are just missing!" ”
"Then you can go to the yamen and take a look at those two bones." Tang Fengqing smiled lightly.
Li Zhao stepped out quickly, rode on the high-headed horse violently, and before leaving, Tang Fengqing stood on the side of the road and gave him a wake-up call.
"Don't forget, when you see the housekeeper of the Chenwang Mansion, you lifted his human skin and mask, so that you will believe my words."
Li Zhao glared at her viciously, and did not agree or refuse.
The yamen is not far from the general's palace.
Li Zhao rode in on horseback, and those officials didn't dare to stop him.
Just kidding, the people who came were wearing second-grade military generals, and they dared to stop them when they were full.
Li Zhao entered it in such a rampage, and saw from a distance that the housekeeper of Chenwang's Mansion and Jing Zhaoyin were chatting happily, and the two walked side by side, with a layer of joy on their eyebrows.
In a flash of light, Li Zhao suddenly thought of Tang Feng's words with a chuckle.
The whole person rushed to the butler of Chenwang's Mansion, pressed him to the ground with a slap, and with a "tearing" sound, he lifted the human skin and mask on his face.
In front of him was a white cheek.
"King Chen!" Li Zhao exclaimed.
Why is King Chen here, are those two corpses really his parents?
Li Zhao's face turned pale, and he grabbed Jing Zhaoyin's collar on the side, lifted him up from the ground, and roared.
"What about the two bones!"
Jing Zhaoyin cautiously glanced at King Chen, who was trampled on the ground, and replied perfunctorily, "Which corpse?" ”
"It's the bones found on North Street today, where did you get it!" Li Zhao was in a violent mood, like a dynamite barrel that could be ignited at any time.
"Those bones were buried, and in recent years there has been a serial killer who killed someone and threw the body into the house where I used to live, and after so many years of not going back, I didn't know it would become like this." King Chen opened his mouth weakly under Li Zhao's feet.
It's been a long time since he's been so embarrassed, a martial artist is a martial artist, and he doesn't have any brains at all!
King Chen had already scolded Li Zhao half to death in his mind.
Not long after he finished speaking, a servant lowered his head and said, "My lord, the bones have been burned by his subordinates, and they will definitely not leave the slightest mark." ”
The slap in the face came so quickly.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was treated with a long silence.
The official didn't know why, and looked up in confusion.
Immediately met Li Zhao's blood-red eyes, and a spirit fainted.
Li Zhao burst into tears of laughter and stretched out his hand to point at the faces of the two of them, "Okay! It's so good to take me for a fool! ”
After speaking, he pulled out the saber at his waist and put it on Jing Zhaoyin's neck, "Take me to the place where the body is burned!" ”
Jing Zhao Yin trembled and led him to a clearing outside the city, where only some ashes remained of the bones, and the rest were burned.
Li Zhao's eyes were red, and he beat Jing Zhaoyin and King Chen half to death, and left in a rage.
And Jing Zhaoyin and King Chen looked at the direction he left, and their eyes were gloomy.
King Chen opened his voice coldly, "Let's go, let's face the saint!" ”
This incident will definitely make Li Zhao shed a layer of skin, but how did he know that there was something wrong with these two corpses?
After King Chen's group left, Du Ziyu suddenly appeared, searched in the ashes, and finally pulled out half of the blackened jade pendant from it.
"This little girl actually instructed me to come and find these things."
He chuckled, took the object in his arms, and drifted away.
When Li Zhao returned home, Tang Fengqing had not yet left.
Seeing him coming over in despair, he comforted him, "What are you sad about, it's not your parents who died." ”
Li Zhao's full sadness was shattered by this sentence.
He clenched his fists tightly, his teeth creaking through gritting, "I made such a big fuss, and you suddenly told me that those bones are not my parents, what do you think of me?" ”
Tang Feng turned his head to look at him, "That's not your biological parents, they can only be said to be your adoptive parents." ”
Li Zhao was stunned in place, if it weren't for Tang Fengqing's identity, he would have wanted to rush up and punch her in the face now.
What a mess this is!
