one step closer to the end

Commander Niu got up and said: "The late emperor once summoned Liu Piaopiao, and Liu Piaopiao sent 500 taels to ask for advice from the humble position, so the humble position asked her to dress up as Liu Yue'e and sing a song to the prince in the wing room of the Meikai Theater. The Lord was lucky for her on the spot!"

"Is it?"

Zhao Guanren said with a smirk: "I know Liu Piaopiao's kung fu in singing, but she is not popular at all, and Ye Zimei's concentration is not bad. It seems that Mr. Niu knows Ye Zimei very well, and knows her well." Where is his deathbed!"

"My lord! You should know Liu Yue'e, the eldest wife of General Qilin..."

Commander Niu smiled ambiguously and said: ""The Story of the Unicorn" is about Yuan Shichu and his wife, but most people don't know that Liu Yue'e and the late emperor almost had a relationship. Piao Piao deliberately wore a skirt and no trousers, and even opened the front of her shirt to expose her flesh, the eyes of the late emperor were red at that moment!"

"So her name is Liu Yue'e, I have no contact with her..."

Zhao Guanren threw the cigarette butts at his feet, and said, "I heard that you raised a batch of fans for Ye Zimei. Where are you raising them?"

"Basically they are all in the Meikai Theater..."

Commander Niu bent down and said: "Sometimes the late emperor got interested, so he called the actor off the stage, and directly performed good deeds with the actor in the wing room, and he had to wear costumes and sing opera lines. The late emperor is lucky!"

Zhao Guanren said: "I'm talking about the other women, especially the women who sing Tsing Yi, where are they raised?"

"Uh~"

Commander Niu said: "Beizhi bought a few other houses under Meikai Mountain. Some opera singers were pregnant with dragon seeds, and he took them there for abortion or abortion. Those who gave birth to dragon sons simply lived there. About More than ten, there are... three who sing Tsing Yi!"

"Who is good at singing "The Case of Gui Mei", will they pretend to be Qin Xianglian in the house..."

Zhao Guanren stood up with bright eyes, and Commander Niu said with some fear: "The late emperor occasionally went there before he ascended the throne, and they often rehearsed plays in the house, looking forward to the late emperor's visit all day long. Those three in Tsing Yi are all singing Qin Xianglian's fame!"

"I'll ask you again..."

Zhao Guanren grabbed his collar suddenly, and asked in a cold voice: "Whose offspring is Liu Piaopiao's child? You'd better not fool me. Liu Piaopiao told me personally that she slept with you for more than half of the time." moon!"

"I don't dare to hide it from you, but Liu Piaopiao doesn't even know who that child belongs to..."

Commander Niu said in panic: "The late emperor didn't take opera seriously at all, and sometimes he would let the humble job go up together when he was very interested. I played Liu Piaopiao with the late emperor. The late emperor didn't raise her for children, but for The corpse poison in her hand!"

"What? Where did Liu Piaopiao get the corpse poison..."

Zhao Guanren looked at him in disbelief, Commander Niu said quickly: "The poisonous water she brought back from Shunguo said that when you were treating poison in Lantai County, she secretly filled two cans of corpse poisoning water. The late emperor was worried that he could not find it." Jin Yi's dark guards use her poisonous water as a life-saving talisman!"

"damn it!"

Zhao Guanren said angrily, "Why didn't you tell me earlier, where is the poisonous water?"

"Didn't you just return to Beijing, I haven't had a chance to tell you yet..."

Commander Niu said anxiously: "The first emperor took a can of poisonous water, and I don't know where he hid it. There is another can in Liu Piaopiao's hands. She said that if something happened to her, the poison would disappear within ten days. Outburst, I have been worried about it for a long time, who knows that nothing will happen!"

"Have you tested the poisonous water, has it failed..."

Zhao Guanren looked at him solemnly, Commander Niu nodded and said: "Tested! I used two wild cats, but Liu Piaopiao said that the corpse poison water cannot be exposed to light, and it will lose its effect when it sees the sun. I suspect that the person who caused her took it away." Poisonous water, for example...the empress dowager!"

"Your sister! You lead me the way..."

Zhao Guanren dragged him out of the gazebo and shouted loudly: "Big head! Quickly bring the Long Guard and follow me, I know where Qin Xianglian is!"

Chapter 0637

There are no plum blossoms on Plum Blossom Mountain, just like there is no breasts in a bra, but this is a famous mistress village, where there are a large number of women who were redeemed from brothels, or strange and famous actresses who were taken care of by dignitaries. There will be sensuality, dogs and horses, wine ponds and meat forests.

"Wow wow wow..."

A large number of Dragon Guards and Jin Yiwei came from all directions, surrounded the entire Meihua Village with open fire, and even carried out the tower shields used for fighting. outside.

"Fang Jinsheng! This king only trusts the Jinyiwei you brought..."

Zhao Guanren led the men and strode towards the village, pointing to the bearded Qianhu and said: "Jinyiwei now has many factions, and there are all kinds of messy birds and people. If you do well this time, I will guarantee you to be the commander of Jinyiwei, but If there is something wrong with the person you selected, you can go to the border to pick up shit!"

"Thank you, my lord, for your appreciation, I will devote myself to my humble position..."

Fang Jinsheng clasped his fists and bowed excitedly, Commander Niu watched with resentment on his face, but the few of them soon came to the outside of an exquisite house, which had already been surrounded by spies in brocade clothes.

"Report to your lord!"

Someone clasped their fists and shouted: "The twelve opera singers were all arrested, and the servants also brought all of them. No one escaped, but no babies who are several months old have been found yet, only a few children who are older than one year old!"

"Very good! Go to their yard and search carefully to see if there are any secret rooms or secret passages..."

Zhao Guanren strode into the courtyard. More than a dozen women were imprisoned in the courtyard. The servants squatted in the open space behind, but there were also two shirtless guys kneeling beside them, asking Jin Yiwei to put a knife on the back of his neck. , have both wet their crotches.

"What's going on with these two men..."

Zhao Guanren looked at the two in bewilderment, and a hundred householders dragged out a disheveled actor. The woman was still wearing opera hair accessories, and the makeup on her face had not been removed, but she had two big white legs, There is only a small bellyband under the thin clothes.

"My lord! These two are prostitutes..."

Baihu knelt the woman down on the ground and said: "When I came in, this girl was singing for these two people naked, and her two servant girls were almost naked. They said they only took business from old customers. But there are still more than 20 such old customers!"

"The late emperor raised you, but you secretly received guests, don't you want to kill yourself..."

Zhao Guanren pulled out a steel knife, stepped forward and lifted the actor's chin, and the other party cried in horror: "The emperor has ignored us a long time ago, we can't even send out the money for the servants, if we don't do some flesh and blood transactions , I can only starve to death, please forgive me!"

"All those who sing Tsing Yi stand up, and those who can sing Qin Xianglian also come out..."

Zhao Guanren slowly glanced at the actors. He had never heard two performances in total, so he couldn't tell the difference between Huadan and Qingyi. After that, it turned out to be a big man.

"..."

After the actors looked at each other, only three women stood up in fear. Zhao Guanren asked them to stretch out their hands. They were all young girls with delicate skin and tender flesh, without any trace of martial arts training.

"At the end of last year, on December 24th, who played the role of Qin Xianglian..."

Zhao Guanren leaned on the steel knife and said: "Think about it all of you, not only you former famous actresses, have you ever acted as a servant for fun, or pretended to be an apprentice, if you tell the truth, you will be rewarded a lot, and if you dare to hide it, do it on the spot beheaded!"

"last year?"

A group of women all began to think hard, but the kneeling woman suddenly said: "I know! Shen Qinniang arranged a "New Guild Beauty Case" and wanted to dedicate it to the emperor before the New Year's Day, but on the 26th it was announced that the late emperor had passed away. Say they have worked so hard!"

"Who is Shen Qinniang, stand up..."

Zhao Guanren immediately scolded, but the woman said again: "After the late Emperor died, she left without telling us. She hired a donkey cart and left in a hurry. It was her servant who told us that she Go back home and get married!"

"Where is her hometown, where did she sing..."

Zhao Guanren stared at each other, but the woman shook her head and said: "I only heard that she is from Chushan, but I don't know which family she is from. She is not a famous actress, and she was not popular in Xiangliyuan. , raised it for many years, but nothing came out of it!"

"Does anyone know her whereabouts..."

Zhao Guanren glanced at all the people in the courtyard, and a woman said weakly: "My lord! Shen Qinniang is not singing Qin Xianglian, she is Chen Shimei who is singing Qin Xianglian, and it is her righteous sister Dong Tong who is singing Qin Xianglian, and Dong Tong also left with her." , but some people said they saw her holding a doll!"

"How big is the doll? When did you see it..."

Zhao Guanren hurriedly stepped forward to ask, but the other party thought for a while and said, "Dong Tong asked someone to find a nanny during the New Year's Eve. He said it was her relative's child, so it must be a nanny. Someone said last month that she Mei Kai Theater temporarily rescued the scene and sang a song of swords and horses!"

"My lord! I found a secret room..."

A Jin Yiwei ran in and said: "The house where the secret room is located is empty. There used to be an actress named Shen Qinniang who lived in it. In the secret room, a bloody blanket, milk cakes for babies, and a bag filled with dead insects were found. The jar looks like the Gu worms used by the Wu people!"

"It turns out that the people of the Wu tribe are playing tricks, no wonder it got on Liu Piaopiao's head..."

Zhao Guanren pointed to the actor who answered the question and said, "You and I go to the Meikai Theater to identify people, and the rest will be locked up and interrogated one by one about their relationship with Dong Tong. They are not allowed to leave without my order. Anyone who dares to escape will be beaten." Break his leg!"

"Yes!"

The royal guards ran in aggressively, Zhao Guanren took the opera singer and left, Lu Datou and Fang Jinsheng also hurriedly followed, the team quickly rushed to the theater, but it took almost an hour to arrive, Meikai theater also Just finished.

"Wrap up! No one in the theater is allowed to escape..."

Zhao Guanren jumped off his horse and ran to the theatre. They were still imprisoning his master in the horse mansion, and they couldn't inform the place. But when the guys saw a large number of people rushing in, they were all terrified and at a loss what to do.

"Where are Dong Tong and Shen Qinniang..."

Zhao Guanren grabbed a waiter suddenly, and the other party pointed to the stage in panic and said, "Back, backstage! Dong Tong is unloading his outfit, but Shen Qinniang hasn't seen her for a long time!"

"Wear all masks, beware of the Uzumaki using poison..."

Zhao Guanren put on a mask and jumped onto the stage, followed by Lu Datou and Fang Jinsheng. When they rushed into the backstage, a large group of actors were taking off their make-up and talking and laughing. Run to the door.

"Catch her!"

Zhao Guanren yelled and knocked away a few people, and the actors screamed in fright, but there was a "bang", a cloud of red smoke suddenly exploded in the air, Zhao Guanren instantly lowered his head and rolled forward, closed his eyes and walked out Smoke rolls down.

"Shu~"

Zhao Guanren slashed out with a burst of saber energy, and cut off a boy's leg in the air. The boy fell to the ground with a scream, and a bullet exploded in his hand. He actually twitched a few times before passing out. , the surrounding actors also fell to the ground one after another.

"Fuck his grandma! Fortunately, I made preparations..."

Lu Datou and Fang Jinsheng rushed over from the side in a hurry, but after they chased them out, there was only a small courtyard behind them, and two rows of houses could be swept away at a glance, but Zhao Guanren didn't find anyone with his soul-chasing eyes, but The whole theater was surrounded by soldiers and horses.

"Fang Jinsheng! Get someone to expand the blockade, there may be a tunnel below..."

Zhao Guanren led Lu Datou and ran into the house. Fang Jinsheng immediately jumped out from the courtyard wall, and a large number of officers and soldiers also jumped onto the wall, holding bows and crossbows in their hands. found any clues.

"Strange! Where can the girls go, they won't be invisible..."

Lu Datou leaned over the mouth of the well and looked suspiciously, but the well was full of water and there would be no secret passages, and there were no rockeries or gardens in the yard, so it was almost clear at a glance.

"It must be hiding here, she can't escape with so many people outside..."

Zhao Guanren turned around twice and couldn't figure it out, but Lu Datou suddenly raised his nose and said, "Boss! There's a smell of powder in this well, girls don't know how to jump into wells and dive?"

"Who ever dives in a well..."

Zhao Guanren pulled out his flashlight and walked to the well. After carefully taking photos, he was taken aback for a moment. He quickly ran to the flower bed and moved a big stone, and threw it into the well with a "plop". The water level began to drop rapidly.

"I'll go! There's an agency down here..."

Lu Datou lay down on the mouth of the well in surprise. After the water level dropped, not only a section of the copper ladder was exposed, but even a copper door was exposed at the bottom of the wider and wider lower part. Going down the well, he took all the small shield and crossbow with him.

"Beware of poisonous powder, throw thunder when you open the door..."

Zhao Guanren threw a mine at them, and the two Jinyi guards stood on the copper ladder, carefully pushed open the door latch, opened a crack and threw the mine in, but almost at the same time, a puff of smoke shot out from the crack of the door Out, the two quickly closed their eyes and covered their mouths and noses.

"Bang~"

"what……"

The sound of explosions and screams sounded at the same time. The two Jinyi guards opened the door. After shooting two crossbow arrows, they immediately rushed in with their short knives. Immediately, they heard the sound of fighting. The remaining ten or so Jinyi guards Also quickly jumped down.

"Why do the Wu people hide underground? Is it because they can't make drugs..."

Lu Datou was lying on the mouth of the well holding a flashlight, but Zhao Guanren said solemnly: "I'm afraid that the Wu people are using Liu Piaopiao. Liu Piaopiao should be hit by a thunderbolt in order to become the most vicious charmer, so he can't grow up." Time to stay outside, only hiding underground is the safest!"

"My lord! Below is a tomb..."

"Damn! Let me put it right, the new tomb or the ancient tomb..."

Zhao Guanren hastily pushed Lu Datou away, and a hundred householders shouted in front of the copper gate: "Ancient tomb! It looks like it has been around for quite a while. We slaughtered four Uzu people, and the actor fled into the tomb with a few people. It's too thick and we can't wear it!"

"It's so fucking strange that things happen every year, especially this year, there are tombs in this bird place..."

Zhao Guanren jumped down and came inside the copper gate, which turned out to be a relatively spacious corridor with several corpses lying on the ground, and at the end was a stone gate with patterns carved on it.

"Big head!"

Zhao Guanren immediately raised his head and shouted: "You ask the Volcanic Army to bring the explosives, and at the same time drill down the shaft to prevent them from escaping from the other end. If you encounter something evil, don't be impulsive. It may be a hallucination. Anyway, be careful of Liu Piao With the wind!"

"understand!"

Chapter 0638

"Boom~"

An explosion came from the well, and the whole theater was shaken by the explosion, and a large puff of gunpowder smoke suddenly rose from both ends. One end was the well in the backyard, but the other was actually two streets away. In the houses, the gunpowder smoke gushing into the sky is as conspicuous as a lighthouse.

"Quick! Lock down there..."

A large number of officers and soldiers rushed towards the smoking houses, while Zhao Guanren stood in the backyard watching the show, and soon heard a strong cough, and then it seemed that someone fell into the well, and after a few splashes, there was no movement. No sound was heard again for a while.

"My lord! I found a secret passage in the courtyard behind..."

Fang Jinsheng jumped in from the courtyard wall, stepped forward and said: "The secret passage leads to the ancient tomb below, and there is also a stone gate guarding it. The stone gate should have been open before, but it was closed after the explosion, but it must not be ventilated inside. It's almost choking to death!"

"Go down the well!"

Zhao Guanren waved without hesitation, and a team of Jinyi guards immediately put on their masks and went down the well one by one carrying oil lamps and bows. He was badly injured.

"My lord!"

A Jin Yiwei popped up and said loudly: "The three men and two women have all fainted. The escaped actor matches Dong Tong's appearance, but they are guarding a copper coffin. The copper coffin is placed in a big pit. Poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, do you need to open the coffin?"

"Don't move! I'm coming down now..."

Zhao Guanren immediately climbed down the copper ladder, walked into the short corridor and came to the front room, but this is obviously not the luxurious tomb of a big man, the front room is only a dozen square meters, and there is a tomb passage dug back on the left side, look at the direction It should be leading to the houses two streets away.
