Chapter 149: Investigation (4K, Ask for Pink Ticket)
sho_read);
The black gate, the bright copper ring, the gatehouse on the top of the mountain, there is a plaque with blue and black characters on the edge of the building, and the two big characters of "into a house" are written on it.
The location of this seven-entry mansion is a good location in the capital, although it is not in the west of the city, but it is not far away.
The outer courtyard has three independent courtyards, and the inner courtyard is divided into four districts, each with its own courtyard in and out, which seems to be able to live a large family.
The neighbors here only know that this is a house bought by a wealthy businessman in the capital in Jiangnan, and when there is business to discuss, they only come to live in the capital from Jiangnan for a few days.
In the dead of night, the seven-colored fireworks on the roof had not yet dispersed, and several people had quietly climbed over the wall into the courtyard.
In the east room of the small courtyard on the west side of the outer courtyard, two palace lamps emitted a bright white light, illuminating the whole room transparently.
The Guardians, who had not been seen for a long time, finally got together again.
But there are only four people at a long table that can seat seven people.
Akaichi sat on the top.
The first position under his left hand was originally Orange Two, but now no one is sitting, and it is empty.
Huang San sat in the first position under Chiyi's right hand, holding a pair of arms in front of his chest, lazily stretching his legs, leaning on the back of the chair.
Green Four has been executed by Chiyi himself because of his betrayal of the Guardians, and his position has not been taken by anyone so far.
Qing Wu sat at the bottom of the orange second position, sitting upright, with an indescribable sense of luxury and idleness.
Lan Liu's position is below Qing Wu, and it is also empty, this person is General Zhang, who was pulled into the guardian by Orange Er, and was later targeted and exposed.
And the person sitting face-to-face with Lan Liu was Zi Qi, the only woman among the guardians.
Everyone was silent for a while, and Chi Yicai said slowly: "A lot has happened these days, and we have seven guardians, and now there are only four left. Where should the Guardians go in the future, you may wish to speak freely? β
Huang San lowered his head and stared at the table leg in front of him.
Ziqi coughed, looked at Chiyi, and hesitated, "Boss, what do you mean?" β
"yes, boss, what do you mean?" Qing Wu followed along, "The rules of the guardians are all handed down from the ancestors, how to inherit them, how to act, there are rules to follow, I don't understand what the boss means." β
A little bare, he looked at Huang San, "Third child, what do you think?" β
Huang San shrugged his shoulders and said so-called: "You are the boss, you have the final say." β
Huang San's tone was obviously different from Zi Qi and Qing Wu's.
Zi Qi squinted at him, and snorted lightly: "Third child, don't you take the ancestral system in your eyes?" β
Huang San sneered, shook his head and said, "Ancestral system? Do you know there's such a thing? - Don't you think? Are we Guardians already on our own?! β
"The third child!" Chi Yi hurriedly stopped him, "How can you talk like that?" β
"Am I wrong? On the contrary, no one knows anyone, what else do I dare not say? - Fifth and seventh, you say the ancestral system, okay, then let me ask you, the ancestral system says that the heir of the guardian, how should you choose? Huang San seemed to have been dissatisfied with this matter for a long time, so he took this opportunity to vent all the dissatisfaction in his heart.
This sentence alone made Zi Qi and Qing Wu bow their heads.
Indeed, if the Guardian really abides by the ancestral system, then General Lan Liuzhang should not join the ranks of the Guardian at all!
Because he doesn't qualify.
Also, as the guardian of the palace, Orange Er attacked the saint, which is also against the guardian ancestor.
The guardian guards the country of the Great Xia royal family, and does not allow the birth of heirs of the royal family and the mixed blood of the four major princes, and there are strict orders that no action is allowed on the emperor.
The Guardian was created by the founding emperor of Great Xia, and of course he would not create an organization to get along with his descendants.
ββ¦β¦ What's wrong with being in a hurry and not following the rules? Zi Qi couldn't help but retort, he was very unaccustomed to Huang San's cynical appearance.
He also said that he must abide by the ancestral system, and he said that he could not stick to the rules. - Seventh, you can't just think that just because you're a woman, you want to be a one. Huang San sneered, "A woman can play cards without following the rules, but a guardian can't." As guardians, we all have to follow the same rules as men and women! β
When every Guardian takes over, he has to eat and die. Not only do you have to eat it in front of your own master, but you also have to eat it again in front of everyone when you join the company.
In this way, we can ensure that the guardians cut off the fate of the dust and contribute to the protection of Great Xia.
"Enough!" Chi Yi shouted to stop Huang San and Zi Qi from arguing, "Everyone is on the same boat, is it interesting to quarrel like this?" We are one, and if we can't unite ourselves, how can we fulfill our mission? How to deal with the elite of the eight surnames of the degenerate?! β
ββ¦β¦ Are the elites of the eight surnames of the fallen people already dead? Qing Wu, who was silent just now, asked quietly, "When was the last time you knew about them?" β
"Who told you they were dead?" Chi Yi Senran asked, slamming the table hard, "How did Lan Liu die, you all forgot?!" ββIt's the eight surnames of the fallen elite who did it! β
"Do you have proof?" Qing Wu asked curiously, "Although there was this conjecture at the time, I haven't seen any evidence so far. β
"Yes. Perhaps, Lan Liu was killed by someone else, and he blamed the eight surnames of the fallen elite. "Purple Seven Yin measured the truth, "If the eight surnames of the fallen elite are really alive, and they are so powerful, why don't you continue to do it?" Instead, it was just a soft pinch of persimmons, and only killed a useless Blue Six? β
"I heard that although the eight surnames of the fallen elite are extremely capable, they are all short-lived and will not live past the age of thirty. Counting the age, this generation of elite eight surnames should live to the end, maybe in the training generation? Qing Wu said with a deep groan.
Huang San was not interested in this question at all, rolled his eyes behind the mask, and said, "You still care about our own inheritance and generation." - What does the eight surnames of the fallen elite have to do with you? Seeing that one kills the other, you still want so many ......"
"Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." Qing Wu said politely, very self-contained.
Huang San's words happened to be the first thing Chi Yi wanted to say today.
"Ladies and gentlemen, since I have a doubt about the inheritance and inheritance of the Guardians, I haven't figured it out, I wonder if you can give me a solution?" Chi Yi held the tea cup in his hand and glanced at the faces of the other three people in the room.
"What doubts? The boss has something to say. Ziqi said impatiently, "Everyone is busy." β
"Good. That's the case, when everyone talked about the ancestral system before, I couldn't help but think that our guardians, according to the ancestral system, are one person from each of the four major princes, and then one from the emperor's mother's family, one from his wife's family, and one from the palace's inner servant, a total of seven people. The prince of the Guogong Mansion and the grandfather of the country cannot be guardians, which is also written on the ancestral system. Therefore, if you want to be a guardian, you must give up the inheritance of the dukedom of the country......"
"Poofββ! Ziqi couldn't help laughing at first, and laughed, "Boss, don't tease." What stupid person would put the title of Grandpa Guo and don't want to be a guardian? - This ancestral system is simply that the founding emperor thinks too much! β
"Hehe......" Chiyi smiled and nodded, "Reasonable." After a pause, he said, "Listen to me." β
Huang San glanced at Ziqi and said, "Old Seven, you have a lot of words today, what kind of illness are you committing?" β
"It's your business!" Zi Qi was furious, hated to turn his head away, and ignored Huang San.
Chi Yi said again: "Or the guardian of the Four Great Mansions." I want to know, after the Shengguo Mansion was destroyed by the Queen Mother, who is the guardian of this mansion? β
Huang San, Qing Wu, and Zi Qi all moved uncomfortably in their seats, and said, "Boss, according to the rules of the guardians, everyone doesn't show their true faces. β
Even their voices, filtered by the Guardian's special mask, changed their voices, and no one could tell who it was.
The Guardian's robes are all wide robes with large sleeves, and it is difficult to tell who the other party is from the figure.
"I don't want everyone to show their true faces, I just think that among us, since the Shengguo Mansion was destroyed, there is one more person. - A person who is even less qualified to join the Guardian than Lan Liuzhangyan. Chi Yi said in a deep voice.
There was silence in the room.
A breeze blew in from the fan, and the palace lamp flickered, leaving a little shadow in front of everyone's eyes.
ββ¦β¦ Boss, this joke isn't funny. Huang San saw that Qing Wu and Zi Qi didn't speak, so he had to cough, breaking the strange silence in the room.
"It's not a joke."
"What the hell do you mean, Boss?" Zi Qi was puzzled, "Although the Sheng Family Mansion was destroyed, everyone knows that the apprentice of the Sheng Family Guardian cannot be from this mansion, so his apprentice must be in the other three Guo Gong Mansions, and the other three Guo Gong Mansions have not had an accident, so there should be no problem with the inheritance of the Sheng Family Guardian." β
"That's a good point." A little bare, "The apprentice of the Sheng family's guardian is indeed in another mansion, this is normal." But according to the ancestral system, the Sheng family, as one of the national mansions, should have an apprentice of the guardian of Beppu in addition to one guardian. Since the Sheng family was destroyed, then this apprentice of Beppu should have died along with the guardian of the Sheng family. β
Huang San thought for a moment and nodded: "In this way, after the Sheng family is destroyed, there is one guardian in the other three major princes' mansions who will not be able to accept apprentices. β
"Exactly. Because our group of guardians has remained seven people after the Sheng family was destroyed, then under normal circumstances, there is definitely one person who is not our peers, but the older generation. But if you look at my guardian inheritance record here, only me and Orange Er were the guardians who succeeded the Sheng family before it was destroyed, and you were all succeeded after the Sheng family was destroyed. Akaichi took out a pamphlet with a record of the Guardian's succession and eating the Guardian's death in front of everyone, "So there are no more Guardians of the previous generation among us." β
Huang San, Zi Qi and Qing Wu all moved in their hearts, glanced at each other, and then set their eyes on Chi Yi.
"Orange Er is the inheritance of the palace attendants, everyone knows it. It's hard to say about my inheritance for the time being, but I can be a Chiyi, and I have already undergone a stricter test than you. So you don't have to doubt me for a while. The dead Green Four and Blue Six represent the emperor's mother family and wife clan respectively, and they are all related to the four major powers. So I just want to ask the three of you, who is the one who is not qualified? β
Chiyi's words have made it obvious that he is also a member of the Four Great Powers.
If there is no doubt about his origin for the time being, then the people in question are among Huang San, Qing Wu and Zi Qi.
One of the three of them must have joined, which is against the ancestral system of the Guardian.
This person is either not from the Four Great Mansions, but after the fall of the Shengguo Mansion, he occupied the quota of the Shengguo Mansion; Either that, or there are two guardians in the mansion at the same time.
In any case, it is the object that Chiyi needs to focus on.
Zi Qi was silent for a long time, and seeing that the other two didn't speak, he pursed his lips and said: "The Sheng family was wiped out at that time, and everyone couldn't find an apprentice who could inherit it for a while, so it's not a big rebellion to pick one more in another mansion, right?" β
"Then you're saying you don't have to follow the ancestral system?" Huang San couldn't help but sneer, "In that case, let's not talk about the ancestral system, just listen to the boss." β
Qing Wu saw that Huang San and Zi Qi had spoken, and he couldn't say anything if he didn't express his position, so he said lightly: "Then listen to the boss, and the boss will do whatever he wants." β
"That's good." He nodded a little, "Since everyone agrees to listen to me, I'll make a statement first." There are people in the Guardian who shouldn't have come in, and in order to protect the interests of the Guardian, I will go and get another batch of 'Broken Life', and everyone will eat 'Broken Life' together again. β
Eating 'cut off' is, of course, the first step.
Sort out the rest of the people before we can talk about filling the gaps.
Huang San and Zi Qi both nodded so-called and said, "Anyway, I've eaten it twice, and it's okay to eat it again." β
Qing Wu choked for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, then let's eat again." β
Chiyi smiled at Qing Wu and said, "Okay, that's all for today." At the next meeting, listen to my announcement. β
The palace lights in the house gradually dimmed, and Huang San, Zi Qi, and Qing Wu left the house in turn.
Chiyi sat alone in the dark, and after a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his courtyard to rest.
β¦β¦
In the inner courtyard of a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city, Wen Yishu came out of the inner hall and asked the people who were waiting outside, "Is the master back?" β
"Not yet. Second aunt, do you want to rest first? β
"No, I'll wait a little longer." Wen Yifang's cheeks were strangely flushed, and he wore a thin silk glove on his hand, which was as pure as a night lily in the middle of a night in early summer.
She looked outside, then turned and went into the inner hall.
The two maids hurriedly retreated, stood on the corridor outside, and said in a low voice: "I heard that the second aunt's medical skills are very powerful, is it true?" β
"What kind of medical skills?! If you're sick, don't go to her. Where did she study medicine? It's clearly a poisonous ......"
