Chapter 119: The Key to the Treasure
The man originally thought that it was just a small trick of some women's families, but he knew that he was wrong, King Chen's woman was definitely not as simple as an ordinary woman. The man was locked in the secret room, and Chu Lixue didn't pay attention to it at all, as if she had forgotten that there was still this person in the secret room.
Two days later, Chu Lixue and Ye Wushuang came to the secret room again, and the man who was originally very arrogant had lost all his original elegance at this time, and his hair was unkempt and begged: "I will say everything you want to know, just ask you to let me leave here quickly, this place is really terrible." ”
As he spoke, a mouse came out of the man's head, and the rat's tail was still hanging down on his eyebrows, and the man's eyes swayed in the direction of the rat's tail, which made Chu Lixue laugh.
"Hahaha, it's so interesting, Concubine Ben thought you could hold on for a few more days, but I didn't expect that it would only take two days, and you would be cowardly."
"It's strange if you don't coax the bag, why don't you put a dozen big mice in your bed? You leave these rats and cockroaches here, can you not be afraid? The man said with tears in his voice.
Chu Lixue really didn't expect that a big man would be afraid of these things, she thought that these things could only scare and scare those young ladies who were very inward-looking, but she didn't expect that they would be as effective as dealing with men.
"It's okay if you want us to let you out, you can be honest, who are you? Why do you want to go to the Chu family's old house? Ye Wushuang said in a deep voice.
"I was ordered by my master to go to the Chu family's old house to find a key."
"Looking for the key? What key? Don't try to fool the concubine. Chu Lixue said coldly.
"No, I didn't fool you, it's true, King An asked us to find a key, saying that this is the key to unlock the treasure."
It's a treasure again, is there really such a treasure in this world? Chu Lixue secretly thought in her heart, the other party actually went to the Chu family to find the key, if she was looking for the key, shouldn't she go to King Chen's Mansion? Even the Queen Mother believes that the treasure map is in the hands of King Chen, so looking for the key should also go to King Chen's Mansion, why did she choose the Chu family, and it was not when the Chu family was still there, but now?
"Then why did you choose to go to the Chu family to find the key, since it is the key to the treasure, then why don't you go to the house of the person who knows the treasure to find it?" As soon as Chu Lixue asked, she felt that her words were a little stupid, the person who knew the treasure was in the house, the other party must be sure that Chu Xiang knew the whereabouts of the treasure, and there was no way to ask if the person died, so the only way to find something was to find something.
"Chu Xiang is the most important courtier of the first emperor, so naturally he will hand over such an important thing to Chu Xiang." Men deserve it.
"So you found it?" Chu Lixue's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.
"We didn't find it, because we didn't know what the key looked like, but the keys we found were all in the cabinet, and we tried it, and they were all keys in the cabinet at home."
Hearing this, Chu Lixue raised her eyebrows slightly, these guys actually searched all the cabinets at home, even if there was nothing valuable at home, just an empty room with furniture, Chu Lixue was not willing to let people search in their own homes so unscrupulously.
"How did King An learn about the treasure?" Chu Lixue said coldly.
In the eyes of others, King An is a member of the royal family, and it is reasonable to know about the treasure, but Chu Lixue and Ye Wushuang know the inside story, this King An is simply an impostor, how can a fake King An know the confidential affairs of the royal family?
Shouldn't Wang An be so stupid as the previous one, even telling an outsider such a confidential thing? If this is really the case, then it is not surprising that the previous King An was killed and died silently.
"King An listened to what the Bai clan said."
"Bai's?" Chu Lixue wondered. Doesn't the White Empress Dowager have something to do with King Jing? Why is it related to King An again at this time?
The man seemed to see the doubts in Chu Lixue's heart, and then said lightly: "It was Jiang Bai's who told King An." ”
"Jiang Bai's?" Chu Lixue was even more puzzled. Jiang Bai is a person from Jiang Guogong's mansion, how did she know these things, Jiang Guogong will definitely not tell her these things, maybe even Jiang Guogong doesn't know about the treasure, Jiang Bai's was just a concubine when she was in the Bai family, and she has no way to know.
Immediately, the man continued: "The Bai family has a noble concubine, princess, you know, after entering the royal family, then the secrets of the royal family will always be inquired into by her, when the first emperor was alive, she had already told the Bai family to find this treasure, Jiang Bai's family, it was only by chance that she found out." So ......"
"So, what you're saying is a lie. Looks like you're planning to stay here forever. Chu Lixue said coldly.
"No, no, no, I'm not lying, what I said is true." The man said hurriedly.
"Then you still won't tell the truth? Concubine Ben doesn't want to use those cruel methods against you, don't force me. ”
"It's okay, you don't want your hands to be stained with blood, I Ye Wushuang don't care, over the years, there are not 10,000 but 8,000 people who have died in my hands, I don't care about you more." Ye Wushuang looked at his white and slender fingers and said.
Hearing this, the man's face was shocked, the man in front of him was actually Ye Wushuang, the famous Venerable Lord of the Cold Moon Palace on the rivers and lakes? Also, why didn't he think that Ye Wushuang likes to wear red clothes the most, and a man who can wear red clothes is more beautiful than a woman, looking at the world, only Ye Wushuang can do it.
Chu Lixue and Ye Wushuang sang and harmonized very tacitly, and within a quarter of an hour, the man truthfully explained everything he knew.
It's not that he's too cowardly, it's just Ye Wushuang's whole methods, but he doesn't want to try those methods.
"If I say what you want to know, can you guarantee that I won't die?" The man thought for a moment.
"Yes." Ye Wushuang said lightly.
"Okay." The man said softly. He immediately swallowed his saliva and continued: "Actually, King An is not from your Beichen Kingdom, but a strategist in the palace of the three princes of Southern Chu. ”
What the? Not from Beichenguo? This is something that Chu Lixue and Ye Wushuang didn't expect, they just thought that the other party looked so similar to King An, someone must have premeditated the bag, and they have been investigating all the people who may have something to do with this matter, but there has been no clue, it turns out that their direction is wrong.
The other party turned out to be a strategist in the palace of the third prince of Southern Chu, and a strategist can quietly replace a prince, and no one has found out in the past three years, which is really ridiculous.
"Since he is from Southern Chu, how do you know the appearance of King An? And how did it take its place? Aren't you worried about being recognized by the people around King An? ”
"The third prince likes to travel around, and he will also conduct business in other countries as a base for collecting intelligence, and he also decided to do so when he met King An in the Qinglou of Beichen Kingdom."
"King An has the name of King Xian, how could he go to a place like Qinglou?"
"What I said is true, it is true that King An is a virtuous king, but men always have seven emotions and six desires, and King An's preference for music is not only known to the people of Beichen Kingdom, but even we in Nanchu also know. So we arranged a singer who was good at music in the Red Sleeve Pavilion, and King An always liked to listen to her play, and only brought an entourage, which created very convenient conditions for us. ”
"So, you dropped King An in the Red Sleeve Pavilion?" Chu Lixue wondered.
Can you drop the bag so easily? This is impossible, everyone's living habits are different, for example, some people like to eat spicy, some people like to eat sweet, even if they like to eat spicy, they don't necessarily eat chili peppers to the same extent.
What's more, the wine of Beichen is strong and spicy, while the wine of Southern Chu is the opposite, the wine of Southern Chu is soft and soft, and many merchants of Southern Chu are not used to drinking Beichen's wine, so they can drop people without being discovered, it must not be so simple.
What's more, everyone's behavior and habits are also different, we all know that King An's right arm has been injured and he can't write with a pen, so the inkstone will be on the left, isn't this kind of change discovered by careful subordinates?
Such negligence, Chu Lixue didn't believe that the people in Anwangfu couldn't find out, if this was really the case, then those servants in Anwangfu were not worthy of serving in the palace for many years.
"Yes, when we were in the Red Sleeve Pavilion, we had already dropped King An's bag, and then put the real King An under house arrest, knowing that we had established a secret base, Nanquan sent someone to send King An to the base, and locked him in a secret room, starving to death."
"Then how did you hide from the people of King An's Mansion? And those side concubines of King An? Chu Lixue believes that the people who know King An's living habits best are those who serve him closely every day, and those side concubines and concubines who flatter him all day long must also know some of his temperament.
If you want to successfully deceive these people, it is easy to say, but in fact, it is not easy. It seems that this person who pretends to be King An is not just a strategist, if he is just a simple strategist, then he will not deceive everyone in a short period of time, nor will he cultivate such a sophisticated organization in a short time.
Although his organization has been destroyed, he, the mastermind, still appears around them in a glamorous manner, and is still secretly arguing with them.
Suddenly, Chu Lixue thought of a question, why did the person who pretended to be King An want to save Jiang Bai's son, logically speaking, he only pretended to be King An for three years, and he shouldn't know that Jiang Bai's son is the son of King An, even if he knew, he wouldn't risk exposing his identity to save that guy who didn't make it.
All this is really getting more and more confusing, maybe only by catching this fake King An can it be possible to pick up the whole truth.
