Chapter 54: Where does Zhong Shengguang live?
Damn, what is he thinking? He Lingchuan rubbed his face.
Perhaps pulled by fear, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind.
Perhaps, we have to go back to the question that Nian and Sun were entangled with at the beginning: where is Zhong Zhai?
Why is the illusion of the large square pot hidden in this history? Panlong City obviously has countless glorious fragments.
The only clue they could follow, or the only clue that the Baling expedition team could follow, was only Zhong Shengguang.
The bones of the Baling people were abandoned in the cellar of the Chen Mansion, indicating that the original intention of the expedition was the same as their own, and they also wanted to find clues in the Zhong Mansion.
But nothing was found there...... Really?
In other words, as long as you find Zhong Zhai, you can find the remaining members of the Baling expedition.
He Lingchuan tried to recall every legend, commentary, and allusion he had heard of Panlong City, the Great Wind Army, and the Zhong family.
Almost every piece of history is related to Zhong Shengguang, what clues will be hidden here?
In this Panlong City, the beautiful gray brick mansion is still Chen's, not Zhong Shengguang's. Assuming that Zhong Shengguang only bought the mansion from the Chen family later, where would he live during this time?
At this time, he was still the deputy commander, and he was ordered by the king to rush from the central part of the country of Xiluo to Panlong City to take office.
As a visitor from a foreign country, he has no place to live in Panlong City, so he must find a place to live.
Will it be at the post house?
He Lingchuan shook his head and vetoed himself.
Bachelors only live in the inn. He had seen it in several drama books, and Deputy Conductor Zhong made the newlywed Yan'er, and he took office the next month.
The surname Zhong spent the rest of his life here, and later he had children and daughters, and he couldn't give birth alone.
Therefore, he came with his family and could not have stayed at the inn.
The place was dirty, noisy and smelly, and the walls were as thin as paper, and the couple applauded casually at night, and the guests next door could hear it clearly.
Where will Zhong Shengguang arrange his family?
He Lingchuan jumped off the roof: "National teacher, did we just go through the official office?" ”
"Yes, what?" Sun Fuping said, "Before you entered the city, I had already checked the official office. "But there were no useful clues there.
"Chen Zhai, I mean the later Zhong Zhai, there is a distance from the official office. But at this time, Zhong Shengguang had to go in and out of the official office every day, and he might settle nearby. He has a family. ”
Sun Fuping is also a shrewd person, and he can see it through: "You're right!" I only searched the official office, but I didn't look around! ”
At that moment, the two turned around and ran back and forth.
Regardless of the official office of the city, it will firmly occupy the treasure land of feng shui, and Panlong City is no exception.
Not long after, the two of them saw a gray and simple building by the river, which was far inferior to a restaurant thirty zhang away.
"This is it."
The official does not repair the yamen, and only when it is broken, he finds someone to make up for it. Therefore, the official office is generally not splendid, at best neat and solemn.
But its location is really good.
He Lingchuan climbed up to the highest restaurant nearby and looked around.
Sun Fuping heard him shout from above: "The north is a wetland, and there are no people." ”
"The western market, there are shops." Shops are generally in the front store and backyard, and the front is a business and the back is lived, and small businessmen are not very particular, "I think Zhong Shengguang doesn't live there." ”
The environment in the West Market is not good, Zhong Shengguang is newly married after all, and he is an official, so he will most likely find a better place for his wife.
He looked further south and found that there were several rows of houses across the water from the government office, each of which was of similar size, and most of them were small courtyards with one or two entrances, which should have been built in a unified manner. Although it is not a high-end family, it should be quiet and leisurely to live near the water.
"Southside!" He pointed south, "That's the official house!" ”
The official residence is the residence of the official, which is generally connected with the official office and forms a piece. When He Lingchuan saw the official residence in Blackwater City, he understood, isn't this just an agency compound or a collective dormitory!
However, the location of Panlong City is special, there is water in front and back of the official office, and the place is too small, so the official building is built on the opposite bank.
Officials who are appointed in other places will have accommodation needs. Regulations vary from country to country.
For example, the country of the big kite requires that officials in other places must live in official residences and are not allowed to buy houses without permission. However, Qiansong County is really remote, and at this time, the Kite Kingdom is in internal and external difficulties, and there is no time to grasp the rules and regulations.
As for Zhong Shengguang, that's not to mention. After the Panlong Wasteland became an enclave, he was the supreme ruler here. The Xiluo Kingdom didn't know whether the Panlong Wasteland was still its own land, and no one dared to ask what Zhong Shengguang was doing here.
But in the peaceful days of the Panlong Wasteland, he was not yet a high-ranking commander, he should live in the official residence!
Sun Fuping also figured this out, and his eyes lit up: "Go!" ”
There are more than 40 sets of official residences, but the two of them are targeted, and it is not troublesome to find.
Soon, Sun Fuping released an arrow in the penultimate row of the official residence, summoning the others to come quickly!
¥¥¥¥¥
When everyone arrived, they found that Sun Fuping and He Lingchuan were standing in a small courtyard of an official house.
There is also a mound in the courtyard, and a wooden board is erected at the head of the grave as a monument.
The text on it is incomprehensible even to Nian Songyu.
Sun Fuping read to everyone: "The tomb of loyal friend Yu Qingyuan, this is the Baling text. ”
Mao Tao was overjoyed: "We found it, we found it!" Uh, found ...... Another Baling? ”
"But not the last Baling man to die, otherwise who would bury him?" He Lingchuan shook the soil, "What's so special about this person, is it worth putting into the ground?" ”
This expedition team was so ruthless that they even ate their own people, and the other members of the team who were eaten were just dumped in the cellar, and why did this deceased deserve to be buried?
You know, this is an illusion, and everything is not real. The small courtyard is like this, and the dirt is like it.
In the end, the Baling expedition team had to eat people to survive, and they must have exhausted their strength, so why were they willing to spend their energy digging earth and graves to do something that could not be more vain?
Nian Songyu was observing the tomb plaque, and even reached out to wipe it, and then took it under his nose and sniffed it.
"The ink is mixed with blood, and they run out of water." If you don't have water, you can't melt the ink, you can only use blood.
"Dig up!" You have to find out.
Sun Fuping moved his mouth, He Lingchuan and Mao Tao had to dig graves with a deflated stomach, fortunately, there were some farm tools in the yard, and I don't know if they were used by the Baling team back then.
The two of them are working in full swing here, Nian Songyu is supervising the work on the side, but Sun Fuping is looking up at the sky, not knowing what to do.
Soon, the owner of the tomb was rediscovered.
Mao Tao wiped the mud spots off her face: "Dig it, whew, it's still white bones." ”
"It's been buried for decades, and it's strange if it's not a white bone." He Lingchuan took a shovel to dig through the soil, revealing most of the bones.
