Chapter 147: Three Days of Drying Corpses

Changle Palace.

Hearing that the queen had arrived with her concubines again, Meng Yuzhu changed her expression twice in a minute, and finally pretended to be sick and heavy, crooked weakly.

Du Zhiyan held a pomegranate in his hand and wandered outside the hall.

The concubines drank tea and studied Du Zhiyan's strange behavior.

"What is Du Chang doing? Sneaky with a pomegranate in his hand. Meng Yuzhu was in the hall, but her eyes never left Du Zhiyan.

The queen was reluctant: "Du Changzai is not sneaky, concubine, you may not know, that pomegranate is about Du Changzai's magic weapon, which can help her find the trace of the ghost." ”

"Really? I've never heard of pomegranates being so useful. Du Changzai also believed the words of the queen who deceived the children. Meng Yuzhu said this, but she was a little panicked in her heart, and gave cashew nuts a look, asking her to quickly throw out the pomegranates and other fruits that Du Zhiyan had sent before.

Du Zhiyan searched in the backyard for a while, but did not find the entrance to the cellar.

This is strange, in the surveillance, I clearly heard that Meng Yuzhu asked Dafu to hide in the cellar, and the cellar will not disappear out of thin air. But where is the entrance?

Du Zhiyan thought of a strange picture in the surveillance, there was a round bath bucket in the side hall of Changle Palace, it should be Meng Yuzhu who often bathed there, that day in the surveillance, I saw cashew nuts sitting in the wooden barrel, I saw her go in, but I didn't see her come out, and when I saw cashew nuts again, she had already appeared in the main hall to serve Meng Yuzhu for dinner.

That barrel has oddities.

"I want to see where the concubine takes a bath." Du Zhiyan held a pomegranate.

Meng Yuzhu gritted her back molars: "Du Chang is here, don't be out of proportion, how can you see the place where the palace takes a bath?" ”

The concubines also thought it was strange, didn't they come to catch ghosts? Why should I see where the chaise takes a bath?

The queen thought that she would catch the ghost as soon as possible, so she said: "Since Du Changzai wants to see it, the concubine will let her take a look." ”

"The place of the main palace, the main palace has also done the master. If you want to see it, go to the emperor and ask for an order. Meng Yuzhu clearly refused.

Go to the emperor's request, it takes time in between. There are many dreams at night, and it may be too late to ask for a message.

Let's hang it up.

Du only clicked on the system and bought a carton of milk in the mall.

took advantage of the effort to turn her head, took the milk in her mouth, and then spit out little by little in front of the concubines, the milk ran down her lips, bubbling and dripping, and the blue shirt was wet, which also frightened everyone.

"What's wrong with Du Changzai? Could it be that ghost hunting is too exhausting and sick? ”

"I'm afraid I'm not possessed by a ghost, right?"

Du Zhiyan went to the back of the gauze tent, and through the surveillance, she already knew the location of the barrel.

Du Zhiyan climbed directly into the barrel.

Meng Yuzhu was shocked, and the cashew nuts had already pounced: "Du Chang is here, this is the place where the concubine takes a bath, you are a little Chang here, how can you sit in the wooden barrel of the concubine, you come out quickly." ”

Du only said that he pulled the edge of the bucket, but he didn't come out. It's like when she was a child, she followed her parents to the playground and wanted to take a small plane, but her parents didn't allow it, so she hung on the park railing and lay down to play a scoundrel.

"Du Chang is so presumptuous, doesn't the queen care?" Meng Yuzhu put pressure on the queen.

The queen really didn't understand which one Du Zhiyan was.

After all, Du Zhiyan never reported to her, which should be regarded as an impromptu performance.

"Du Changzai, are you uncomfortable?"

"Back to the queen's mother, the concubine has had sheep epilepsy since she was a child, and from time to time, she gets sick."

Ahh

The concubines took three steps back in amusement.

I don't know how crazy the sheep are to be epileptic and sick, in case they bite them again.

The queen was quite sympathetic: "I didn't expect Du Chang to be at a young age. Would you like to call a doctor to show you? ”

"Queen Xie's kindness, the concubine's illness, the concubine herself knows, you don't need to call the imperial doctor, just clean up your body and take a bath."

In the final analysis, it is still necessary to use Meng Yuzhu's wooden barrel.

"Concubine, you have also seen Du Changzai's illness, just let her wash it in this bucket, if you mind, the palace will ask the Internal Affairs Office to make you another bucket in the future."

"Nope."

"Why not?"

"Because." Meng Yuzhu had fine beads of sweat on her sideburns: "Because this palace has a habit of cleanliness." ”

"What kind of fetish is cleanliness, is it worse than sheep epilepsy?"

"Not really, it's just-"

"Since it's not as serious as sheep epilepsy, let Du Chang wash it first." The queen still said to Du Weiyan.

Without waiting for the palace maid to bring the water, Du Zhiyan had already tinkered in the wooden barrel, and after a round of tinkering, it was just an ordinary wooden barrel, and there was nothing abnormal, it shouldn't be.

Knock on the bottom of the barrel and there is a big echo.

There are quirks.

Du Zhiyan touched the barrel again, and soon touched a raised wood in the corner, pressed it inside, and the bottom of the barrel was actually put in, and Du Zhiyan was caught off guard.

The concubine exclaimed.

Seeing Du Zhiyan sitting in the barrel, why did the barrel fall off the bottom?

How can there be a big hole under the barrel?

The house in the palace is not a tofu scum project, there must be a reason for it.

Everyone has the heart to eat melons.

"Lady Gui, what's the matter with the hole under the barrel?"

"Such a big hole concubine Niangniang never knew?"

Meng Yuzhu's face was ugly, Du Zhiyan found the mechanism, and she had to hide it: "I don't know why there is such a hole in this palace, looking dark, I'm afraid it's not safe." Cashew nuts, don't hurry up and help Du Changzai out, what are you doing in a daze. ”

The cashew nuts want to be helped, but Du only says but doesn't come out.

"Queen Mother, it's so cool in the cave, let's come in and have a look." Du Zhiyan sent out an invitation.

The queen had never seen such an invitation, so she took Du Weiyan's hand and went in.

Then Shi Jing, and then Zhao agreed, and entered more than a dozen concubines in one go, good guy, this hole is really unique, like a big bag.

"Since the concubine has never known, let's come down and see it." Du Zhiyan invited Meng Yuzhu again.

Meng Yuzhu understood Du Zhiyan's thoughts, Du Zhiyan must have been afraid that the concubines would go in and she would make a bad deal outside.

Count her as thoughtful.

Meng Yuzhu had no choice but to go down to the cave.

"Nijo, turn on the lights, copy the guy."

Du only gave an order, and the two eunuchs had already carried the lantern and the rope into the hole.

Sure enough, I came prepared.

It is better to say that it is a hole, but it is a long passage.

The passage is almost two meters high, meandering, although it is meandering, but fortunately, it is spacious, more than 20 people enter the passage, it is not crowded at all, it is very hot outside, but the passage is extremely cool, the passage has no musty smell, indicating that it is often ventilated.

The two led the way with lanterns, and the group followed.

"Du Chang has caught all the ghosts underground, could it be that the ghost is hiding underground? Zhao promised to be caught in the crowd, even if there were many people, he felt scared, after all, everyone said that ghosts like yin, and the passage under the ground was not gloomy.

Bao Guiren kicked something, looked at it through the faint light, and screamed in fright.

It turned out that she kicked an oil umbrella, a big red oil umbrella.

I still remember seeing the ghost in the imperial garden during the day that day, and I saw the soul of Ming promised floating around, and what Ming promised to hold was such a red umbrella.

Meng Yuzhu coughed a few times and said, "Bao Guiren was shocked at first glance. It's just an ordinary passage, maybe it was dug by the people of the Ministry of Engineering when the palace was built, and it is worth making a fuss. ”

"Guifei Niangniang, that's the red umbrella that Ming promised." Bao Guiren looked aggrieved.

"What kind of red umbrella that Ming promised, after Ming promised to die, her things were sent to be incinerated by the little eunuch. How could there be her red umbrella here? ”

"Nijo, turn the lights on."

Nijo understood, plucked the wick, added two more torches, and the passage suddenly became much brighter.

After walking for about twenty meters, the passage became more wide.

At the end of the passage, there are also furnishings.

A bed was made, an oil lamp, and a square table with a few dishes on the table, and a kettle.

It looks like it's inhabited.

"No wonder the Changle Palace is haunted, it turns out that the ghost is hidden underground."

"If it's a ghost, do ghosts still sleep and eat? You see, the meal on the table is not finished yet. ”

Du Zhiyan touched the kettle, but the kettle was still warm.

This shows that there are people living in the passage, and the monitoring is accurate.

So where is Daifuku hiding here?

Since Dafu was able to escape from Wanru Palace, it means that he has some kung fu, and when these people enter the passage, he must be on guard.

After looking around, the quilt has also been turned over, and there is still no trace of Daifuku, is there still an exit from this passage?

"Guifei, what do you explain?" The queen asked.

Meng Yuzhu pretended to be ignorant: "This palace. I was sick by ghosts, and I don't know what is going on in this passage. Maybe someone is ambushing in the passage and trying to assassinate the main palace."

Du Zhiyan sacrificed her pomegranate again.

She held the pomegranate and turned from side to side.

Meng Yuzhu was worried when she saw the pomegranate in her hand, the passage was such a secret place, Du could find it in a few words, but she didn't know if it was the pomegranate in her hand that made meritorious service? I don't know what kind of magic weapon that pomegranate is, but it is so powerful.

Du Zhiyan looked around, but there was no harvest for the time being.

Meng Yuzhu just wanted everyone to leave here quickly, after all, the longer they stayed here, the more likely it was that Dafu would be exposed.

Du Zhiyan suddenly laughed: "Come out, I see you." ”

I didn't even trick him out.

Walking to the table and looking at the rice and a cup of tea in the bowl, Du Zhiyan suddenly found that there was a reflection in the tea bowl. That reflection is a human form.

So he took the torch in Nijo's hand and raised it.

There was smoke from the torches, and after a while, it fell from the top of the head.

It's Daifuku.

Du Zhiyan's torch almost hit his face, like smoked bacon, so that Dafu's eyes were red, and he couldn't hold on any longer, so it fell.

Usually cashew nuts come in to deliver food and water, all give a code, this time there is no code, suddenly so many people break in, Dafu knows that something is wrong, so he stepped on the table and climbed to the top of the passage, but the reflection in the tea bowl betrayed him.

Everyone was looking left and right, and no one looked overhead.

The big fortune that fell scared everyone.

Nijo and others also searched under the bed and found a pile of clothes and shoes.

Xiangyun gauze clothes, a pair of red embroidered shoelaces and some jewelry.

Isn't this the dress that Ming promised?

Zhao promised to be in the Imperial Garden with Bao Guiren, but he saw it with his own eyes and was very familiar with this pile of things.

"Could it be that Daifuku is pretending to be a ghost? No wonder I couldn't catch it, it turned out to be hidden underground. ”

"Why does he have to get along with everyone as a eunuch, the harem has been messy recently, and everyone doesn't even dare to go out of the door."

Soon, Daifuku was arrested.

Meng Yuzhu, as his master, is also to blame.

The opinions of the harem concubines were surprisingly unified, and they unanimously agreed that it was the concubine who instructed her servants to cause chaos in the harem. At worst, people are so scared that they dare not go out, and at worst, they ask for their lives.

Meng Yuzhu insisted on denying: "If this palace instructs, how can this palace be so frightened?" The imperial physician takes the pulse of the palace every day, and the body of the palace is best known to the imperial doctor. Can't just because Daifuku is a slave of this palace, he thinks that he was instructed by this palace, maybe he was instructed by others to frame this palace? Zhao agreed, and the palace also said that it was instructed by you. ”

Zhao promised.

Good guys, have you eaten melons on your head? A pot fell from the sky for no reason?

But Dafu insisted that it had nothing to do with Meng Yuzhu, even if he suffered some hardships in the Shen Criminal Division, he also insisted that he watched his master, the concubine Niangniang, change from the original favorite concubine to be so sullen now, all those concubines in the harem were too charming, and used various means to win the emperor's heart, in order to avenge his master, so he made this decision and often came out to scare people.

mentioned why he scared his master Meng Yuzhu.

Daifuku also has a reason: "The master is kind-hearted, if he knows that the slave does such a thing, he will definitely come out to stop it, and there are several times when the slave is ready to go out to scare people after dressing up, and he happens to be bumped into by the master, so he scares the master."

"Why hide underground? Isn't that passage really for concealment? ”

Daifuku said that he hid underground in order to facilitate his own foothold and avoid scaring his master.

As for who delivered the food, Daifuku said that he stole it from the kitchen. He has some martial arts, and he is the great eunuch of Changle Palace, so it is easy to get some food and drink.

Meng Yuzhu turned from fear to pride.

Dafu was the person of King Yue back then, and said that he made a mistake when he served King Yue, and was punished into the palace as a eunuch, so he was assigned to Meng Yuzhu's side. I've been serving all these years.

Daifuku's loyalty to Meng Yuzhu can be seen by the sun and the moon.

Before he died, he was still thinking about Meng Yuzhu.

"The queen mother, the slave has to be promoted by the concubine Niangniang, not only can not share the worries of the mother, but also brings trouble to the mother, and almost ruined the reputation of the mother. The slave knows that he has made a big mistake, and he can only apologize with death, and ask the queen to see that the concubine knows nothing, don't embarrass the concubine, and the slave is willing to apologize with death. Dafu knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the queen and kowtowed to Meng Yuzhu.

The queen was at a loss for a moment.

Catch ghosts, catch ghosts, and finally catch a minion.

This minion also took all the blame.

Du Zhiyan knew that if Dafu died, Meng Yuzhu was afraid that he would escape, so he hurriedly stopped it, but Meng Yuzhu handed Dafu a hairpin: "You have done these sins in the palace, and you are innocent of death, for the sake of your service in Changle Palace, I will reward you with a whole corpse." ”

Daifuku took the hairpin and resolutely inserted it into his chest.

Kill instantly.

Blood splattered.

I sniffed, and I was out of breath.

The concubines were shocked, and a living person died like this.

The queen was also frightened: "This slave concubine, what do you say should be done?" ”

"Dafu has served by the side of the palace for many years, and the palace doesn't know that he still has the guts, but the sin is unforgivable, and it is also a warning to the people in the harem. Therefore, the palace thought that in the burial ground in the northeast corner of the palace, Daifuku dried the body for three days to set an example. ”
