Chapter 116: Unraveling the Mystery
Tang Yining originally wanted to go back and see it again, but since Qin Xiao said it, he flipped through it casually, and after making sure that what he said was the news of the Zhongyuan Festival, he nodded and said, "It's what I want to know, Qin Lan Pavilion's efficiency is good." ”
"That's nature." After Qin Lan finished speaking, she glanced at Tang Yining deeply, and then said: "This time, for the sake of the cooperative relationship with Miss Tang Er, we have carefully given this detailed and specific message that Miss Tang Er is satisfied with. But according to the rules of our Qin Lan Pavilion, news has always been transmitted verbally, so firstly, I hope that Miss Tang Er will not spread the news and methods, and secondly, I hope that Miss Tang Er will destroy the things after you finish reading them, otherwise it may cause unnecessary trouble. ”
When Tang Yining heard this, he raised his eyebrows, which was undeniable. But for the sake of Qin Lange's face, he still nodded and stood up with a small notebook.
"Okay, I got it. Rest assured, it won't make it difficult for you. ”
Qin Xiao saw that Tang Yining seemed to mean to leave, so he didn't say anything and then stood up and said, "That's good." ”
"Now that the news has been given to me, I don't have anything else to do for the time being, so that's it, I'll go first." Tang Yining didn't have the slightest intention of staying for a while, let alone wanting to listen to Qin Lange's actions.
She has a deep understanding that for other people's money-making guys, it is not for others to take the initiative to make it public, so it is better to avoid suspicion and not be too curious, otherwise it is easy to take her own life.
"Well, it's not the first time that Miss Tang Er has come, she must already be familiar with the way, Qin Xiao will say goodbye to Miss Tang Er, I hope that next time I will have the opportunity to do business with Miss Tang Er." Saying that, Qin Xiao sent Tang Yining to the door, and then said, "Second Miss Tang, please!" ”
After Tang Yining signaled his head, he left with the maid on the side, and when he left, he didn't forget to bring Xiao Cui, who had been waiting for Tang Yining in the lobby.
The two didn't go anywhere else, and went directly to the general's mansion in the carriage at the door.
General's Mansion, Yiyuan
Xiao Cui saw that she had already entered her yard, so she asked, "Miss, have you asked about what you want to ask?" ”
Tang Yining smiled and shook the small yellow notebook in his hand in front of Xiao Cui and said, "No, it's all here." Okay, Xiaocui, you will watch at the door later, and I will take a good look at what is written inside. With that, she walked briskly into the room, walked to the desk, and sat down.
Xiaocui looked at the figure of her young lady walking in, did not follow in, and closed the door for Tang Yining when she walked to the door of the wing, and then stood at the door, guarding for her young lady.
Tang Yining opened the small notebook he brought back from Qin Lan Pavilion and looked at it carefully and carefully.
The Midyear Festival, also known as Obon, the Seventh Half Festival, and so on, is a relatively traditional festival. On this day, people perform sacrifices to the ancestral gods.
In Taoism, it is believed that this day is the opening of the door of the underworld, and the ghosts of the underworld are "forgiven" by the local officials and return to the world. In Buddhism, the Obon festival is held to exceedite the ghosts of those who have no one to give alms to.
In other words, both folk, Taoism, and Buddhism have all lived the tradition of July 15. There are many sayings about the Midyear Festival, and all kinds of theories are endless. Qin Lange's small book did not explain in detail, but it only gave Tang Yining a general understanding of the source of the Zhongyuan Festival.
Tang Yining suddenly realized when he saw this, in fact, this festival has been passed down to future generations, and many people still remember it, but only Taoism and Buddhism still pay more attention to this festival, and among the people, this festival is not as special as it is now.
As for the disappeared person that Xiao Cui said, it was purely a fictitious thing, but because it happened to happen on this day, it was more mysterious. It's just because the government has a custom to arrest and deal with prisoners on this day, and for the sake of the family's face, it is said that they were captured by ghosts.
And it is even more impossible to go to the government to deal with it, it is just the family members who have been arrested who go to the yamen to cry out and beg for mercy. All in all, in short, the book has explained in detail the things Tang Yining wants to know, and at the same time, it has also solved the doubts in Tang Yining's heart.
No wonder the fee is not expensive, it turns out that there is nothing in this information. It's just that there are relatively few people who know the truth, and the three of them have become tigers, and everyone will go down, and it will evolve into the version that Tang Yining heard from Xiaocui's mouth later.
After reading the small book in his hand, Tang Yining had a feeling of ridicule, thinking that there was some conspiracy in it, but he didn't expect it to be just like this.
As for the official practice, Tang Yining could also guess why. On the one hand, it can better deal with people who are not very well documented, and on the other hand, it can better deter the people below.
"Xiao Cui!" Tang Yining put down the small notebook in his hand and faintly called Xiaocui in.
emmmm, it doesn't feel good to appease the curiosity in your heart! Really, no matter where you go, gossip is the best concoction.
Probably no one except Tang Yining will know that Tang Yining wants to develop his own people to engage in intelligence work, but it is just to satisfy his curiosity. In her opinion, ancient times were actually quite boring, and the special pastimes were also very boring, so she could only find a way to have some fun by herself.
Xiaocui heard Tang Yining call her, quickly opened the curtain and pushed open the door and walked in, and said half-squatting: "Miss? ”
"Go find a basin and flint, I'm going to burn something."
Xiao Cui looked at the small notebook in Tang Yining's hand, and immediately understood what Tang Yining meant.
"Yes, don't worry, miss, the slave will go find it now."
Tang Yining didn't care very much, but leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate. After reading this thing, it has no value.
Prince Gong's Mansion
Xie Tianrui rested for two days and finally recovered a lot of energy. Today, I happened to learn that his father was in the study, and I thought that I hadn't moved for two days, and I always had to move, so I didn't bring anyone with me, and walked straight towards the study.
"Father, it seems that you are in a good mood today?"
As the saying goes, words are like people. Xie Tianrui saw the words that his old man was writing now, and he felt that his old man seemed to be in a good mood.
Hearing Xie Tianrui's voice, Prince Gong raised his head and glanced at Xie Tianrui, then put down the pen in his hand, walked to the couch and sat down.
"It's good, but it's not good to see you." It's true, seeing that the doctor hasn't appeared in the palace often in the past two days, he is naturally in a good mood.
Now that I see Xie Tianrui, I naturally remember what happened two days ago. Prince Gong may not know the twists and turns inside, but Prince Gong, who is also an official in the court, has nothing to know.
After the little guy saw Xie Tianrui coming, he hurriedly served tea to the two.
Xie Tianrui raised his eyebrows when he saw this, didn't say anything, and sat down with Prince Gong, and then picked up the good Longjing that the little guy had just soaked and tasted the tea.
"Good tea!"
"You stinky boy, what are you pretending to be stupid and stunned in front of this king? What's the matter, it didn't go well this time? Or did you run into the interests of a lot of people? Or where did you offend others? ”
How can your own children not be worried, even if Xie Tianrui is gags and is ready to pass the test, Prince Gong must also ask a question, it makes no sense, his own children have been beaten like this, and he wants to swallow his anger? Think it never happened?
Hum! He's not a good guy like that.
Xie Tianrui thought of this incident and felt that he had never been so ashamed, and he felt that he was about to be wronged. It's a natural disaster, unlucky.
"How can you! It's already a matter of falling out in the first place, and all the evidence is complete, and going over there is just going through the motions. As a result, because the county order was suspicious, it was not a big deal, so I became suspicious. Then he mistakenly thought I had touched his interests. Xie Tianrui saw that Prince Gong didn't understand, and sighed softly.
Accept your fate and prepare to talk about it in detail, I originally wanted to talk about it lightly, it seems that this time it really scared the two elders, otherwise it wouldn't be so serious.
Xie Tianrui said that he had already noticed that there was a problem in this county, and had already sent people to investigate all the things in advance, and he also had a lot of criminal evidence and material evidence, and was about to knock on the side to tell the emperor.
Unexpectedly, the emperor mentioned it one step earlier than him, so he didn't say anything more. It happened that the emperor sent him to investigate, so he pushed the boat down the river, thinking about going through the motions, and then took the evidence that had been prepared a long time ago to show the emperor to see, forget it.
After all, he is enough to make the emperor jealous, and it will not be good if this incident causes the emperor's dissatisfaction. He hasn't thought about turning his face with the emperor yet, but the saying that a companion is like a tiger is right, and he may be planted if he is not careful.
I didn't expect to capsize in the gutter in the end, because the beauties who refused to be arranged by the county order did not enjoy singing and dancing with them, and the beauties were suspected by the suspicious county order. The county order is also ruthless, because of the slightest suspicion, he just bought the murderer and prepared to ask for his head.
Because there was no defense, the people around me were arranged out again, so it was a bit embarrassing in the back.
"That's it, it's mainly unlucky." After Xie Tianrui finished speaking, he touched his nose with some weakness, and subconsciously hid the part that happened with Tang Yining.
The main thing is to express that he has come back without danger, and there is nothing else to say. After all, I have to explain it separately, so that this matter is really endless.
"What a guts!" After hearing this, Prince Gong angrily hammered the table.
It's just bold, the person who came down from above is still a small county king, and he dares not to take it seriously, and directly buy the murderer to take the head.
