Nine Dragons Jade Cup Chapter 34 The Secret of the Golden Luan Palace
"So, eldest sister, do you mean that Lord Xiao has been in Lichun Courtyard all night last night?"
Getting this unexpected answer, Karasuma's face was not very good-looking.
On the contrary, Wang Chuyi, who was originally hanging with his heart, breathed a sigh of relief and cast a grateful glance at the white peony.
"What's the problem?"
Bai Peony held a thousand taels of silver tickets in his hand and asked curiously.
Karasuma still didn't give up and said, "Dare to ask what Lord Xiao did last night?"
When he said this, Karasuma was serious and even a little serious.
But when it fell into the ears of the girls in Lichun Courtyard who rushed to hear the news, they all hid their faces and snickered.
Bai Peony snorted and laughed: "Why are you asking such a strange question, what can a man do when he comes to Qinglou? Is it possible that you can still recite poems and do it? If you spend a lot of money to drink flower wine, what will you do?"
"Who's going to prove it?"
Karasuma asked coldly.
"You said that Lord Xiao was here with you all night, who can testify. ”
"I ......"
"I ......"
"And my ......"
"We can all testify. ”
......
For a while, the girls were gossiping, so lively.
"Karasuma-sama, is it possible that you still suspect that Lord Xiao is the assassin you said you said? Now that so many people can testify for Lord Xiao, are you still not at ease?" Seeing that the time had come, Wang Chuyi hurriedly said.
Seeing that he couldn't find any useful clues here, Karasuma didn't continue to entangle, but just said something without yin or yang.
"I didn't expect Lord Xiao to be so blessed, to be accompanied by so many beautiful women all night, but to stay all night without resting, these women can still have such a good spirit, which is really admirable. ”
Speaking of this, Karasuma changed his words and said: "But as far as I know, Lord Xiao has been weak since he was a child, and being so drunk all night must have brought a lot of burden to his body. ”
Before Wang Chuyi, who was still in shock, came back to his senses, Karasuma had already walked quickly from the staircase to the second floor.
Everyone followed, and when they opened the door, they smelled a burst of wine.
"Wine, wine. ”
Xiao Wuji, who was lying on the bed on all fours, was full of wine, and there was a woman waiting beside him, as for the ground, there were more than a dozen wine jars scattered indiscriminately, and the dishes on the table were cold.
"Ah, I drank like this. ”
The Yunxia County Lord was the most surprised.
Even Wang Chuyi muttered a little incomprehensibly: "This guy is a little too comprehensive in acting." ”
Karasuma had already taken Xiao Wuji's wrist.
His ordinary face quickly changed from anticipation to solemnity, and finally to complete gloom.
Wang Chuyi thought that he had discovered something, but he didn't expect Karasuma to just say something lightly after diagnosing his pulse.
"It seems that I'm overthinking, Lord Xiao is really just some old diseases, and it's not a big deal, but it's best not to get drunk at any time like this, it will do all kinds of harm to the recovery of the body's vitality. ”
......
......
The palace is heavily gated.
Even just ordinary entry and exit from the palace requires passing through multiple checkpoints.
However, because of the relationship between holding the Bingbu Shangshu token, Yang Xuyan easily passed through all the levels.
Now he had reached His Highness Jin Luan, and in the hazy night, he stood on top of the ninety-nine-eighty-one steps made of marble, overlooking the entire imperial city.
"Even in the name of investigating the case, the time spent in the Jinluan Palace must not exceed an hour, you must know that this time I am using my head to play with Lord Yang, you must not make any mistakes. ”
Before bidding farewell to Zuo Xiong, the squire of the military department, Yang Xuyan kept Zuo Xiong's words in his heart.
Standing at the red lacquered front door that he had pushed open that was three people high, with a heavy opening sound, the entire Jinluan Hall was completely presented in Yang Xuyan's eyes.
As Yang Xuyan himself guessed, he quickly found the place where the Nine Dragons Jade Cup was placed that day, but at this moment, the marble floor tiles in that position were extremely smooth, and he couldn't see anything wrong at all, and he didn't even feel anything greasy when he landed, and the floor tiles fit tightly with each other.
"According to Wang Chuyi's thoughts, when the Kowloon Cup was in its glory that day, everyone's eyes were on the Kowloon Cup, completely ignoring the people and things around them. ”
Yang Xuyan, who was awakened by Wang Chuyi's words, looked solemn.
muttered to himself: "There must be some kind of mechanism installed under this floor tile, in fact, the Nine Dragons Cup was not really stolen that day, but has been on this Jinluan Palace, but all of us have preconceived ideas, after seeing that note, we believe that someone took the Nine Dragons Cup, so if we can find out who came to the Jinluan Hall later, we will definitely be able to find out the traitors hidden in the court, but before that, we must find out the secret under the tiles." ”
Easier said than done, it is as difficult as a plane to find without destroying any place, let alone on the Jinluan Palace, which can accommodate hundreds of people.
"Your Majesty can't do that, because he doesn't have to. ”
"It is impossible for the prime ministers to do this, because they were in the most conspicuous place that day, and the main hall was at their feet, how could they do it under the noses of so many people?"
"As for the second-rank officials under the prime minister, they don't have a chance to do so, because they are right in front of my eyes. ”
After such repeated exclusions, Yang Xuyan's eyes lit up.
He pondered in his heart: "Since this person is known as the ancestor of thieves, and he has never missed, his mind must be extremely meticulous, he wants to do things in the Jinluan Palace, and he will definitely not choose a place that is too eye-catching." ”
After thinking about it, Yang Xuyan couldn't help but automatically generate a picture scroll in his mind.
The picture scroll is full of the positions of the civil and military officials of that day, and after abandoning all the places where it is impossible to install mechanisms, Yang Xuyan finally has only a dead corner left in his mind.
The reason why it is said to be a dead end is because this place perfectly avoids everyone's eyes.
Yang Xuyan stepped forward in a few steps and came to a thick dragon pillar.
Take a closer look at this dragon pillar, carved with a real dragon, lifelike.
Yang Xuyan groped along the traces of this true dragon, and soon found a raised dragon scale and pressed it lightly.
There was a sudden slight noise in the Jinluan Palace.
The seemingly tightly fitting floor tiles suddenly cracked a crack, and then the floor tiles instantly turned over.
Yang Xuyan's eyes lit up, and when he was about to go to find out, he suddenly felt that an invisible qi machine behind him locked on.
At the same time, he was struck in the back with a slap and flew off against the smooth ground.
......
......
"Oh, Lao Wang actually took the initiative to come to me, didn't he find something?"
Xiao Wuji's matter finally covered up the past perfectly, although the guy was still asleep in bed now, so he finally didn't show any feet.
As for the rest of the things, we have to wait for Xiao Wuji to wake up.
"I don't know if there is anything to discover, but Lao Wang's face is not very good-looking, and he has smoked several bags of cigarettes in a row today, and he almost didn't smoke all the plum blossoms in our headquarters to death. The guard who came to report said.
With curiosity and anticipation, Wang Chuyi soon met Lao Wang, who had always pulled a face.
After seeing Wang Chuyi, the latter did not have the same hippie smiling face as before for the first time, and said very solemnly: "The wound on the corpse can basically be determined to be a very vicious palm technique, and the person who cultivates this palm technique is basically despised by the righteous path of the rivers and lakes, the last time he appeared in the rivers and lakes, it was a long time ago, presumably adults should have heard of this person's name, and was named Li Danping." ”
"Yin Wind Palm Li Danping?"
Wang Chuyi blurted out.
"Isn't this man already dead?"
"This is what I think is the strangest place, you must know that as early as 20 years ago, because the rivers and lakes were full of evil factions, for the disaster of the rivers and lakes, the imperial court in order to pacify the chaos, then sent the forbidden army to pacify the rivers and lakes, twenty years ago, I was still an unknown junior in the court. ”
"Do you think that you have become a big man in the court now?"
Wang Chuyi's words made Lao Wang angry enough, but fortunately, Wang Chuyi also realized that he shouldn't interrupt, and hurriedly signaled Lao Wang to continue.
Lao Wang swallowed the cloud and spat out a puff of dry smoke, and then said: "It happened that at that time, in the list of strangling evil masters handed over by the forbidden army, I happened to see Li Danping's name, it stands to reason that this person and his vicious palm skills should have disappeared from the rivers and lakes, but now he suddenly reappeared, which is really intriguing." ”
Wang Chuyi is not stupid, not only is he not stupid, but he is extremely smart, but he is too lazy on weekdays.
At this moment, when he heard Lao Wang say this, he quickly understood the meaning and said: "In other words, it is possible that this guy is not dead at all, and the court got false information back then." ”
Lao Wang sighed faintly and said, "Why didn't your lord say that there is another possibility? I think you must have guessed it, but you just refused to say it." ”
Wang Chu was stunned for a long time.
Wearing a green skirt and walking slowly, there was nothing else to do on this day, but the green bamboo lady who was watching the flowers and walking the birds rushed to Wang Chu from afar: "Xiao Wuji has woken up, don't hurry up and ask if you have anything you want to ask." ”
This Wuzi was still in shock, and the news that Xiao Wuji had woken up had already come from that head, Wang Chuyi suppressed the turbulent waves in his heart, and quickly saw Xiao Wuji who was coughing.
said softly: "Listen to Bai Peony, you are shouting a person's name over and over when you are drunk, that person's name is Xiao Wujun, who are you?"
Xiao Wuji, who had just woken up from his hangover, first stiffened his expression, then his coughing stopped, and he said in a low voice: "Everyone has someone they don't want to mention or think about again, can you not ask this?"
Wang Chuyi said with a smile: "Okay, after all, I don't care about those things, I just want to find out what happened last night?" ”
Xiao Wuji sat up from the bed tiredly, and said quietly: "It's very simple to level the white peony, just have silver, but it's not easy to level the fake Karasuma, before that, you look at one thing first." ”
Soon, a guard sent it over, and the rotten flesh in its original shape was almost unrecognizable, which was similar to the corpse studied by the Song Temple.
"His palm power is extremely vicious and powerful, fortunately, my eyes and hands are quick, so I didn't let him fall on my body with a palm, otherwise now what you see is not me, but a dead corpse that can no longer die, and thanks to this pre-prepared pigskin, I can be spared, so we finally determined one thing. ”
Xiao Wuji said word by word.
"The real Karasuma is dead, and the Karasuma we see now is just a fake, and it is even possible that even Boss Xue has no idea about this matter. ”
Wang Chuyi had already expected this possibility, and letting Xiao Wuji play the role of a fake Sikong detective was to lure Karasuma to make a move, and now after confirming that it was indeed the same kind of poisonous martial arts, instead of the joy of finally having a breakthrough, his heart was even heavier.
After confirming that the partition wall had no ears, Wang Chuyi took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "The identity of the fake Karasuma has been determined, but it seems that there are more powerful characters behind it. ”
"Lord Wang, Lord Xiao, it's not good. ”
At this moment, there were guards who came to report.
"Yang Xuyan and Yang Zuo were attacked by someone, seriously injured, and their lives were in danger. ”
Both of them stared at the same time with wide eyes of disbelief.
