Chapter 50: Stupid Modern Man
She gritted her teeth and pulled hard at the pad. There is nothing under the "Ya * Wen * Yan * Qing * Shou * Hair", but there is a concave flower shape at the bottom of the box.
Almost without thinking, she took out the hairpin and put it in the old box with no lining, and kept adjusting the angle. When the hairpin and the flower shape at the bottom of the box matched, she pressed down hard, and heard a very slight "click".
At this sound, the door of her heart seemed to be opened.
In ancient times, there was no material that could be cut by a knife and burned by fire to make a safe, so ancient people loved tricks! Because of this, the ancient mechanism was much more developed than the modern one, and such ingenious things could also be made.
The box really doesn't have a mezzanine, because it's two layers at all, okay? Between the two floors, there are only a few invisible gaps, and when you knock on your fingers, of course, you can't feel the sound of space. From the outside, although a thin line could be seen on the seams, 11 out of 10 people would have thought it was a wood grain or a sign of carving.
Chun Tu now feels like she has been tricked by that craftsman, and it's ridiculous. Although he is an ancient, he understands the psychology of people too well. The peony flower hairpin is itself a mechanism. The hairpin is a hairpin, but the box has a good fortune. People have stereotyped thinking, which is a kind of inertia, so she has been studying the hairpin itself, but ignoring the box. But when she finally studied the box, she felt that the box should be hollow, like ordinary people, and kept knocking, but found nothing. And with just a flower-shaped imprint, the inside and the outside can be separated, and in addition, no matter how much strength you can't crack this secret, what kind of wonderful craftsmanship it is.
She really wanted to scold herself: stupid modern people!
Excited, she carefully pulled out the inner layer. As expected, two sheets of paper as thin as cicada's wings fell out of it. Only this small paper, looking at the condition, is not affordable for ordinary people, after all, the ancient papermaking technology is not developed. Pick up one, and it is densely written with hairpin flowers. It wasn't getting late, she lit two candles, and she had to get closer to see clearly.
"Tu Tu. If you read this letter, I'm sure I'm no longer alive. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. But there is a great grievance at stake, and I am sure you will not sit idly by. "But, if you decide not to do it, I won't blame you." After all, you may be implicated. Even your father's life. If you are embarrassed, burn this box and the letter, everything is fate, and no one can ...... at all."
Below, he confessed his life experience. is exactly as previously speculated, he is the niece of Zhu Lizheng's wife, but not long after coming to Beijing, he encountered a rebellion case. Du Heng, the greedy and lustful presiding judge, fell in love with her and secretly exchanged a female death row prisoner for her. She would rather die than obey, but her aunt begged her to give her the opportunity to overturn the case for the Zhu family.
As a last resort. She endured humiliation and became Du Heng's concubine and cook. It's just that she's a weak woman. Trapped in the inner house, and Du Heng has always been suspicious, she can only pretend to be honest and pretend to be grateful to Du Heng for saving his life. After a few years of hard work, she slowly discovered some seemingly insignificant details. Coincidentally, at this time, Xu Wenchong had doubts about Zhu Limou's counter-case and wanted to overturn the case. She overheard about it while waiting for refreshments in her study, so she ventured to see Xu Wenchong, and after a few temptations. handed over what he had mastered to Xu Shangshu.
Just when she thought there was hope for a reversal of the case, Xu Wenchong was assassinated, and the Shangshu Mansion was stolen at the same time. Her years of hope turned into despair, and she finally understood that overturning the case was not an overnight effort, but more needed a good opportunity, or perseverance and integrity alone. Fortunately, she was rigid, and she actually took advantage of the chaos to steal something from Du Heng's study, which was part of the investigation results confirmed by Xu Wenchong. Then, he escaped from the former Fengguo Mansion.
She created the illusion of fleeing all the way south, because since the day she entered the mansion, she was quite well prepared, and perfectly deceived the minions of the Du Mansion who were tracking her, and even arranged a corpse to prove that she died on the way to escape. And she herself went to Fanyang County and opened a restaurant generously. Such a bold move did not attract too much attention from the people in Beijing. Who would have thought that a runaway concubine would dare to show her head, and the tracker would not even investigate carefully when she heard that a certain woman opened a restaurant. It was with this courage that Fang Niangzi lived a few years peacefully. It was also the happiest few years of her life except when she was by her parents' side as a girl: self-reliance, accompanied by a blue-faced confidant, making her own decisions in everything, and not flattering a disgusting old man, especially this person is still her enemy.
She was waiting for God to open her eyes and wait for the opportunity, but unfortunately she didn't wait for the opportunity to come, a poisoning case made her reveal her identity, and if she escaped again, she was very likely to be caught. Fortunately, before, she had a foresight and gave the hairpin to Chun Tu. Although she used her scheming, but as Chun Tu Yu thought, she never thought of hurting the Chun family, but asked for custody for the time being, she thought that she would come back and exchange it for more expensive gifts. The old wooden box, which she had with her, contained other jewelry, making it look inconspicuous. And without a flower hairpin, even if the wooden box is snatched away, the key will never be found. If forcibly destroyed, the mechanism contains a peculiar property similar to gunpowder, which instantly incinerates the box and its contents to ashes.
However, she never had a chance again.
was caught in the former Fengguo Mansion, Du Heng of course asked about the theft of the evidence collected by Xu Wenchong, she gritted her teeth and denied it, only saying that the timing of the escape was a coincidence, because the date had already been set and it was inconvenient to change it. As for the reason for leaving the house, it was that he couldn't stand the tilting between the concubines of the Du Mansion. Of course, Du Heng can't believe her words, but her lies are ingenious, everything she says is on the side of the facts, and she can be rounded inside and out, so that Du Heng can't find her flaws for a while.
In addition, Du Heng, the old bastard, likes to eat too much, and she thinks about it when she is full, so she is favored again, but she is carefully guarded and does not hurt herself. She reused her old tricks to pretend to be docile, and after a long time, although the arrogant Du Heng did not completely relax her vigilance, she still gave her a chance to escape again. And when she heard that Chun Tu Yu came to Chang'an and won the case of the true and false emperors, she was even more eager to break out of that cage.
She clearly knew that if she escaped and was arrested again, she would have no chance of survival, so she secretly contacted the Song couple who had been isolated for a long time, and the soldiers were divided into two ways, and the deadly box and the fatal box were managed by the Song couple. If something happens to her, they will hand it over to Chun Tu Yu. and agreed on a place to meet.
This is another way back for her, when she was arrested back to the former Fengguo Mansion, the Song couple fled early under her arrangement, and then followed to Chang'an, secretly lurking nearby.
But she underestimated Du Heng's ability, and the whereabouts of her and the Song couple were all discovered, and Du Zhong was killed separately. What she didn't know was that Skynet was restored. negligent but not leaky, the Song couple fell off the cliff. Thinking that they were going to die, Du Zhong was in a hurry to go back to his life, and did not examine the corpses. In order to help his daughter solve the case, Chun Dashan searched the nearby mountains and forests, and arrived at the moment before the Song couple lost their breath and got the last relic she arranged.
"Tu Yu, if you can overturn the case for the Zhu family, I will tie the grass ring in the next life and be a cow and a horse. Repay your kindness. Also, you have a good dad. I will definitely be happy in the future. I will pray day and night for your whole family in that world, and may you be happy all your life. Then I, a man of great suffering, rejoices in this good fortune. Fang Niangzi finally wrote.
Chun Tu put down the first piece of paper, and her little teeth creaked.
Sure enough, it's Du Heng's old Wang Ba! He had evidence stolen from Shangshu Mansion in his hand, or there was also evidence found from Xu Wenchong. Even if he is not Allah's scheme, it is almost the same. At least, the number one accomplice.
Poor lady Fang. Fantasia has to endure such humiliation and pain, but in the end, she can't see with her own eyes the day when the sky is clear and the sky is clear!
Du Zhong has already asked for some justice, which can be regarded as seeking some justice for Fang Niangzi, but the biggest enemy, because he is the queen's father, still sits in peace and enjoys happiness. If she can't bring down the Du family this time, how can heaven exist!
Calm down! Calm down!
She forced herself. Then, only to pick up the second piece of paper. Although this paper has been sandwiched in a wooden box for several years, it does not look fragile and torn, it is very tough and complete, and the words written on it are denser, and it hurts to see the spring and the eyes.
After reading it, she immediately put her things away as they were and put them back in her own wooden box. I don't know how this treasure was preserved and passed on to Fang Niangzi in the case of the murder of the family and the beheading of the nine clans. Anyway, when it comes to her, it becomes evidence, and it will never be snatched away by others.
"Xiaofeng! Xiaofeng! When she had finished packing her things, she knocked vigorously at the door and called the maid who was standing outside.
"Miss, it's useless for you to say anything, the key is there, and the slave can't let you out." Xiaofeng sat on the stone steps in front of the door embroidering something, "You just have a good night's sleep, otherwise you will be able to break your body." I heard it just now, you kept tossing and turning, and you didn't sleep at all. ”
"I'm not going out, I'm telling you to go out and do something for me." Chun Tu said, "You come here with your ears, you have to whisper." ”
When Xiaofeng heard this, she stood up and walked to the door, but she still nagged, "That young lady has to promise, I will do something, and you go back to sleep." ”
"Okay." Chun Tu happily agreed.
So Xiaofeng pulled the door, and the master and servant looked at each other through the one-finger-wide crack in the door.
"You take my waist card and ask Feng Guo to follow you and go to the prison." Chun Tu lowered his voice, "He is more familiar with the palace inside and outside the palace, and it will be convenient for you to do things." ”
"Do you want to see Grand Prince Asuri?" Xiaofeng asked.
Chun Tu almost laughed.
The Great Prince?! What is this called, how does it feel very stupid and easy to tease.
"I don't see him." Chun Tu Yu hurriedly said, "If you want to see him, I will go by myself, I don't need you." I asked you to go to see Jinyi, and by the way, I sent the purse embroidered in your hand. The second half of the sentence is ridicule.
Xiao Feng was stunned, subconsciously hid the embroidered thing in his hand behind him, and blushed. But she was generous, and soon retreated in shame, and asked, "What does Mademoiselle want me to see him?" ”
"Ask him, where did you put the box that came out of the Luo Dadu Governor's Mansion?" Chun Tu said, "When I heard the news, I asked for the closure arrangement, and quietly fetched it back for me." ”
