Datang romantic little landlord

It's magic!

There have been ancient color tricks in China since ancient times. Those jugglers wearing robes can conjure huge fish tanks, porcelain bowls, vases, braziers and other props out of thin air, which is very magical.

This ability to hide things on the body is unknown even to Western magicians of later generations.

Could it be that among the dead lady Wen or the court ladies, someone knew this ancient trick?Hide the baby girl on your body and replace Li Zhi in full view?

Li Wangyou thought about it, and there is really such a possibility.

It's just that how to make the baby quiet and not cry or make noise, Li Wangyou couldn't figure it out, could it be that the baby was drugged?

Li Wangyou planned to ask Sun Simiao to see if there was any medicine for the baby to stop crying after taking it.

At this time, Li Er had already scolded Mi Tuo bloody, and was furiously asking Mi Tuo to continue to torture those court ladies.

"Uncle, wait a minute. I want Bai Qisi to check the details of that woman and the twelve maids. How long have they been in the palace? Will you have a lot of fun?"

The Sanyue he was talking about was the name for magic and acrobatics in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and it was also called Baixi.

Li Er panted heavily, tried to calm down his anger, and asked, "Ziyou, why do you want to investigate these? What's the use?"

"Uncle, my little nephew thinks this way..." Li Wangyou expressed his conjecture. Finding out whether these maids and whether anyone knows ancient color tricks is the only breakthrough he can think of now.

After hearing what he said, Li Er glared at Mi Tuo angrily: "Did you hear what Uncle Huxian said? Useless bastards, hurry up and check!"

"No, this servant will go to the Yeting Bureau to check it out in person." Mi Tuo didn't dare to say more, and rushed out of the palace door, but before leaving, he still gave Li Wangyou a grateful look .

If he could find out some useful clues to save Prince Zhi, then Li Wangyou would really save his life, how could Mi Tuo not be grateful.

Li Wangyou put forward this conjecture, it is also a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

Unexpectedly, half an hour later, Mi Tuo brought back good news...

439 Suspects

The Ye Ting Bureau is an institution used by the Tang Palace to manage the court ladies, and the records and names of all the court ladies are managed by the Ye Ting Bureau.

If Mi Tuo wanted to check the information of the twelve maids, he had to search in the Yeting Bureau.

Originally, he just searched with the mentality of giving it a try, but unexpectedly, Mi Tuo really let Mi Tuo find the information Li Wangyou needed.

Mi Tuo asked the servant to hold the names of the twelve maids, and ran back to Lizheng Hall.

"Go back to everyone, the servants have found out."

Li Er hurriedly asked: "What did you find? Come quickly."

"Wan Po, who hanged herself to death, has nothing to do with Sanle Baixi. Neither she nor her family can play Sanle Baixi. And these twelve palace ladies, most of them entered the palace during the reign of Wude, There is nothing unusual about it, but there are two of them, the servant thinks they should be able to play a lot of fun."

Mi Tuo submitted his name book and continued: "Everyone, please look at this maid named Yue Ran, who was selected into the palace in the third year of Wude. She is from Luoyang and is now twenty-three. Her surname is Lu. According to the name book, His father, Lu Chang, made a living by playing Sanle Baixi. If you think about it, it’s not surprising that this month when I entered the palace at the age of 15, I learned Sanle Baixi from her father.”

Li Er took the name book and glanced at it, but it was the same as what Mi Tuo said.He nodded: "Is there another person?"

"There is also this maid named Niantao, who was also selected into the palace in the third year of Wude. No one in her family makes a living by playing Sanle Baixi, but this girl was sent to the Taichang Temple before being transferred to the East Palace. It is possible for the slave to think about it, and she will be able to sing and play all kinds of operas."

Li Wangyou didn't understand, and looked at Mi Tuo suspiciously.Why is it possible to learn magic if you practice music in Taichang Temple?

Seeing that he was puzzled, Mi Tuo quickly explained in a flattering way: "Uncle Huxian, the Taiyue Department of Taichang Temple not only teaches musical instruments and dances, but also teaches Sanyue Baixi."

When he said this, Li Wangyou immediately understood.

If the names and registries of the maids in the Yeting Bureau are correct, then the two maids named Yue Ran and Niantao are indeed "suspected of committing crimes".

"Go, get someone to torture these two lowly maidservants with heart. They must pry their mouths open and ask where my prince is!"

Now Li Er doesn't care about the life and death of these maids at all, he only cares about where his son is.

Four or five hours have passed since the birth of Empress Changsun.

It's nightfall now, and it's getting late.

Li Er is very anxious now, and when he thinks of his son's life or death, he is furious.

"No!" Mi Tuo lowered his head and replied, but he didn't move his feet.

"Go soon? You bastard, what are you waiting for?" Li Er couldn't help but stare at him when he saw that he still wasn't leaving, and was about to curse again.

Mi Tuo showed embarrassment, and explained hesitantly: "Go back to everyone, the two maids, the servants are worried that if they continue to beat them, they may not survive. The servants are afraid... that if they are beaten to death, they will lose the prince's rule." clues..."

He was not talking nonsense, how could those delicate court ladies withstand the torture of Bai Qisi, those veteran torturers who were like wolves and tigers.

When he came to Lizheng Hall to report to Li Er, most of the twelve maids had been tortured to the point of death, and if the torture continued, they would probably disappear in a short while.

After killing everyone, where did Mi Tuo go to find Prince Zhi?

Where can people not be hidden in this grand Taiji Palace?Not to mention such a small baby.

Ever since he confirmed that his son had been transferred, Li Er had already ordered the palace guards to search the palace, but he still didn't know anything about it.

It was getting late now, but in the huge Taiji Palace, torches were everywhere, searching for Prince Zhi's guards.

Hearing what Mi Tuo said, Li Er's face twitched uncontrollably.

He knew that Mi Tuo shouldn't be talking nonsense. Now that things were going on, if he didn't continue to torture the two, his son would not know where to look for them.However, he continued to torture and beat the two maids to death, and he also had no clues, nor could he find his son.

Caught in a dilemma, Li Er was also a little bit embarrassing, and his face became more and more ugly.

Li Wangyou was also secretly worried, he kept recalling in his mind the detective movies he had watched, trying to find a way to break the situation.

In Li Wangyou's mind, the two maids named Niantao and Yueran were probably accomplices in the crime.

First of all, both of them know magic tricks and can cover each other.Secondly, they all entered the palace in the third year of Wude, and they should have received training in the palace together, learning palace etiquette and so on. It is very likely that they have known each other for a long time and have a close relationship.

But since the two daughters, Yueran and Niantao, did not commit suicide like that steady woman after being controlled by the imperial guards, it means that these two people did not want to die, and they were still hoping to get away with it in order to gain a chance. .

But how to pry open the mouths of these two "criminal suspects" is a difficult problem.

Even Baiqisi's criminal case veterans failed to get them to confess after severe torture. Could it be that these two palace maids were expected to truthfully explain Li Zhi's whereabouts without continuing to extract confessions?

If Yueran and Niantao really did this, they would rather die than confide a word.

Otherwise, waiting for the two of them, besides being killed by themselves, they would even be killed by Li Erzhu.This point, presumably these two maids are also well aware.

In this case, even if they were beaten to death, they would not confess.

Therefore, it was expected that Baiqisi's torture would not yield any results.

Li Wangyou couldn't help but smiled wryly, confessed that he had been released from prison, and refused to go home to celebrate the New Year... He and Li Er are really in trouble now.
