I am imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion

The light blue clothes had a dull luster, and the material was not very good, not even comparable to the clothes worn by the servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion.But when worn on her body, it added a kind of natural beauty that is not carved, which makes the skin shiny and radiant, even better than before.

Even now that he has met Cui Tao for the third time, Lu Gongbi still has the feeling of falling into a dream.

She really is back.

"Jiu Niang didn't tell the truth about what happened back then, and I spent half a day trying to 'understand reason and move her with emotion', without even saying 'Second cousin knows you're lying, so I won't show mercy to you' sharp."

Of course, when Cui Tao said this, he also needed appropriate evidence to convince Cui Zhi.She revealed that Lu Gongbi sent someone to monitor her, and Cui Zhi was not stupid. After being mentioned, she immediately realized that she was indeed monitored by someone in the prime minister's mansion.As a result, he became anxious, and then under the threat of Cui Tao's "regulating spleen and stomach" silver needle, he finally agreed to tell the truth.

"Did the second cousin catch her for something?"

The last time she and Cui Zhi met at the Eight Immortals Building, Cui Tao found that when Lu Gongbi broke into the door, Cui Zhi's subconscious first reaction was not to be surprised, but immediately stood up humbly, and dared not even look at it with lowered eyes. Lu Gongbi glanced at him and was particularly afraid of him.At that time, she felt that there was abnormality in it, so there must be a demon.

"There was an inside story about your leaving back then?" Lu Gongbi didn't care how Cui Tao 'sold' him, and he also ignored Cui Tao's question just now, he was only anxious to know the truth about Cui Tao running away from home back then.

"I didn't run away from home at all."

Cui Tao's words made Lu Gongbi very surprised. He stared at Cui Tao and listened to her next narration with all his attention.

"That day I went to Qingfu Temple with money, in fact, to pray for blessings and donate money to the temple. Suddenly a young monk passed by with a bowl of porridge, which stained my dress, so I went to the clean room to change. Jiu Niang led people to wait outside, and suddenly saw several young ladies who came for an outing with them headed towards the back mountain one after another, clamoring that there were many butterflies coming over there.

That year was in the late spring, and butterflies had never appeared before. Suddenly, a large number of butterflies appeared in the Buddhist temple. Everyone said it was a good omen. If you bring one home, it will bring good luck to the whole family.

Jiuniang wanted to catch a butterfly and go back to please her grandmother, so she asked all the servants to go with her.When she came back again, she saw that the two servant girls who were left to serve me had been knocked out and there was no sign of me, so she hurriedly looked around for someone.

At that time, she asked the monks in the monastery to help, and together they searched up and down the mountain for half an hour, but they didn't see me, so they expected that something was wrong.

At that time, I was about to discuss marriage with you, the most beloved treasure in Cui's family.She was afraid that the elders in the family would blame her for being playful, which made me kidnapped, and she was even more afraid that the elders in the family would use family law to torture her to death.All the servants were also afraid of taking responsibility, so they negotiated with her together and used a set of arguments.The two maids who were knocked unconscious by my side were also threatened and bribed by them.

So you know the explanation she gave at the end. She only said that she was devoutly worshiping Buddha at that time, and she didn't take all the servants away for fun. "

In fact, Cui Zhi also honestly explained to Cui Tao her thought process at that time.If someone can find her, even if her lies are exposed, Cui Tao is safe and sound. The most she can do is to kneel down and apologize to Cui Tao, begging for a while.But if the person can't be found, her guilt will be too great, and she doesn't want to lose her head in Cui's family for the rest of her life because of this little crime.

The development of the matter later helped Cui Zhi escape responsibility even more.

An unsuspecting maid found that Cui Tao's gold and silver jewelry and belongings were all missing, which made Cui's parents and seniors start to suspect that Cui Tao might have run away from home.

Cui Zhi knew that Cui Tao quietly brought so much money to Qingfu Temple, and she wanted to express her devotion to the Buddha as much as possible, and begged the Buddha to bless her, so that her second cousin's "eccentricities" would not be so scary Her married life can be smoother and more stable.

For a girl in a boudoir who has not been engaged, it is ashamed to tell outsiders about this kind of thing, Cui Tao only told Cui Zhi who has the best relationship.Cui Zhi helped Cui Tao cover up and brought the money to Qingfu Temple. After arriving at the temple, the two donated the money directly without letting outsiders know.

That is to say, even though Cui Tao knew that Lu Gongbi had a 'eccentricity' at that time, she did not intend to escape. She knew that she would bear the responsibility for the prosperity of the Cui family and was going to marry Lu Gongbi.She just wanted to pray for blessings so that her life would be easier in the future.

Even though Cui Zhi lied and beautified that he was worshiping Buddha at that time, he was still severely scolded by the elders in his family.

Cui Zhi was scolded a lot, so he couldn't bear it.So when someone suggested that Cui Tao might run away from home, she did not clarify for Cui Tao, but took advantage of the situation and said that Cui Tao had never wanted to be married to Lu Gongbi, and had thought of going out in the world.

In this way, everyone believed that Cui Tao ran away from home to escape marriage and to enter the world.

This time Cui Zhi was specially invited to Bianjing, so he couldn't help thinking that Cui Tao was in Kaifeng Mansion, maybe she would have a chance to meet Cui Tao.Perhaps because of a guilty conscience, she carefully recalled what happened back then, and suddenly found that jewelry and money were a loophole.So much jewelry and copper coins saved must be in a somewhat conspicuous package. If there is no one around her to help her cover, it is impossible for her not to be known.

In order to perfect the lies back then, Cui Zhi made up a story about helping Cui Tao run, perfecting the details.After all, Cui Tao is now a prisoner, and the Cui family only feel that she is ashamed, so even if she admits this now, it will not be a big deal.

After listening to Cui Tao's narration of the whole incident, Lu Gongbi couldn't bear it anymore.He immediately took a big step, going to rush out to find Cui Zhi to settle the score.

"Don't go." Cui Tao immediately stopped him.

The hostility in Lu Gongbi's eyes could no longer be restrained, hatred, anger, full of murderous aura.It seems to drag people into hell alive and swallow them alive.

"She's still useful."

In the whole game, Cui Zhi is just a small shrimp who has been cut into the weakness of human nature.Her behavior of shirking responsibility is shameful, but compared to the mastermind behind her, it is nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

"Since the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, we can't reveal all the bottoms. I want to keep this small shrimp and catch big fish."

Others throwing fire at Cui Zhi might not be a big deal.But if it was Lu Gongbi, Cui Zhi might be forced to death, because Cui Zhi was especially afraid of Lu Gongbi.

"What exactly did you use against her?" Cui Tao asked Lu Gongbi this question again.

Lu Gongbi was silent for a moment, and then said: "It is inconvenient to say."

"She committed adultery?" Cui Tao knew that Lu Gongbi was afraid of dirty things, so he didn't want to talk about it.So if she wanted to talk about the matter in a serious way, Lu Gongbi would naturally speak up.

"I have no eccentricities." Lu Gongbi suddenly said to Cui Tao seriously.

Cui Tao froze for a moment, then nodded, expressing that she believed it.

When Lu Gongbi heard this, the emotions in his eyes surged instantly.He tried his best to restrain his emotions, and calmly talked to Cui Tao: "She does have one."

Later, Cui Tao learned from Lu Gongbi that Cui Zhi had a habit of obscene language, but it happened that Lu Gongbi bumped into her twice when she was hiding in a corner and speaking obscenities.

It is not surprising that Cui Zhi has such a lecherous and promiscuous father, which affects her growth and has some special hobbies.But this kind of thing is indeed a terrible trick for the ancients, especially for women who are waiting to marry.

"Then what exactly did she say?" Cui Tao asked smoothly.

Although she lost her memory, the experience of going abroad for three years seems to have changed her temperament a lot.In the past, she would shyly dare not take a second look at strangers, let alone ask such questions directly.

"This is not what you should listen to." Lu Gongbi said in a deep voice.

"If you don't say it, I've heard it a long time ago. Is there anyone in the prison who doesn't say anything?" But since Lu Gongbi's words are difficult to say, Cui Tao can probably guess to what extent.

"I will find a way to rescue you." Lu Gongbi's tone was extremely serious, and his thin lips were tightly pressed into a line.

It would be the best thing for someone to help her out of prison. Of course, Cui Tao happily thanked Lu Gongbi, and then said to Lu Gongbi: "Cui Jiuniang's matter, can I trouble my second cousin to place two good friends by her side in the name of my aunt?" The person who uses it is responsible for monitoring her. Then, I will send her back to Cui's house tomorrow."

"It's not necessary to use the name of my aunt. If it is Cui Zhi who first took a fancy to the person in the Prime Minister's house, my aunt just pushed the boat along and sent him to her." Cui Zhi now has all the handles in Cui Tao's hands. She had to do what Tao told her, so Cui Zhi dared not protest against this arrangement.

Lu Gongbi agreed that this was a trivial matter for him, but he didn't understand why Cui Zhi had to take the initiative to 'ask' for the details to be finalized because it was just a gift.

"Some people are monitoring my affairs in Bianjing. They should know that I have seen you. If the prime minister takes the initiative to arrange someone for Jiuniang, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the person I am looking for in the Cui family. But if If Cui Zhi asks for it, the meaning is different, and the defense will be lowered. Later, I will teach Jiu Niang to do the tricks well, and then I will be able to catch the fish."

The opponent's calculations are fierce, and the city is deep, so they naturally have to pay attention to the details.

At that time, Cui Tao wants to see which 'capable person' in Cui's family is attacking her.

Lu Gongbi also felt that the events of the past were being manipulated in secret again, and his "eccentricity" was probably spread from this population. There must be an insider in the Cui family plotting against Cui Tao.But what is quite unbelievable is that Cui Tao is just an ordinary woman in the boudoir. No matter how "bad" she is on weekdays, at most she can only make her daughter laugh and won't cause any big trouble.Why should she be hated so much and have to take her out of Cui's house?

Cui Tao: "There are too many Cui family members, so it's hard to investigate. You can't guess who it is based on the current situation. You don't have to think too much. We will know when Xiao Xiami catches it."

Lu Gongbi found that Cui Tao, who was the person involved, was more open-minded than him.Even though he was murdered to this desolate situation, he didn't show any anger at all. He was completely analyzing calmly, employing people properly, and judging the situation.Is this the benefit of amnesia?

Lu Gongbi listened to Cui Tao's suggestion and did not go to see Cui Zhi.

Cui Tao spent the whole night performing intensive training on Cui Zhi.Cui Tao is like a film director, asking Cui Zhi to recite countless lines and perform countless times of "showing off that he can be favored by the prime minister's wife" countless times.

Cui Zhi always acted badly, so Cui Tao always called him 'bad'.

All of Cui Zhi's ugly old backgrounds were thrown away by Cui Tao, and he felt ashamed and ashamed, and for a moment he really thought about hanging himself.If you die, you don't have to be afraid, you don't know anything.Otherwise, if Cui Tao or Lu Gongbi brought these matters to Cui's elders, Shen Tang would not be enough for her to atone for her sins.

Fortunately, Cui Tao didn't scold her angrily after hearing the truth she confessed.Instead, treat her with grace and power, if she can follow Cui Tao's orders completely, attract the person Cui Tao is looking for, and settle the past.Then Cui Tao can write off all the mistakes she made in the past, as well as her eccentricities, and don't care about her.This is the motivation that supports Cui Zhi to study acting hard.

"Your feelings are not in place, your words are stuttering, and you don't recite them fluently enough. Think about it, what an honor it is for you to be taken care of by the prime minister's wife, and how many people envy you? Every word must be full of joy, but as a lady, you must have a sense of shyness and restraint, and you must also express the excitement that cannot be suppressed and is about to burst out. When it comes to the exciting parts, you must raise your eyebrows and have a look in your eyes."

Cui Tao gave Cui Zhi a demonstration on the spot.

Cui Zhi looked at the content of the whole article in his hand in surprise, and found that Cui Tao had said all the words well, but she just wrote it casually, and didn't recite it on purpose at all.And she played the show off that I was spoiled, which was so real. For a moment, she really thought that Cui Tao was in love with the prime minister's wife.

"What I didn't write, you have to think about it yourself, find the right position, and compile the details. When people ask you, you must answer fluently and without flaws. For example, if I ask you a question, since you ask Madam so much I like it, I have been with Madam these two days, what does Madam like to eat on weekdays?"

Since Cui Zhi entered the prime minister's mansion, he only met the prime minister's wife just to say hello, but he didn't know the prime minister's wife's food preferences at all.

"Well, Jiang Yao's fried belly, Runtu?" Cui Zhi tried to answer.

Cui Tao immediately asked Cui Zhi how old the prime minister's wife was.

"It's about the same as my mother." Cui Zhi nodded suddenly, "Yes, these are all my favorite food. I should say perilla, tofu, meat soup and other dishes, right?"

"Finally, I didn't teach you in vain."

After Cui Tao agreed, she continued to instruct Cui Zhi.

"Another important point is that when you mention your second cousin, you must be shy and not show a trace of fear or fear. You should also tell them tactfully that the prime minister's wife often praises your second cousin in front of you."

As soon as Cui Zhi heard Cui Tao mention Lu Gongbi, he couldn't help shrinking his neck, and when he heard that she deliberately arranged for others to misunderstand that she and Lu Gongbi might be married, he became even more frightened, trembling all over with fright, and couldn't help crying, tears streaming down his face.

"Seventh sister, this - I, I really can't do it. When I think of Cousin Baochen's face, I'm thankful that I can speak without shaking."

Cui Zhi is really afraid of Lu Gongbi. Although Cui Tao knows her secret now, she is really more afraid of Lu Gongbi than Cui Tao.Whenever she thinks of Lu Gongbi, Cui Zhi's mind will be filled with Lu Gongbi's cold eyes full of sarcasm, densely covering her mind, making her tremble with fear, shuddering, like falling into hell.

Cui Zhi begged Cui Tao to bypass her, but she really couldn't do it.

"Who said sorry to me, and promised me that no matter what I ask you to do, as long as it can atone for my sins, you will do it for me?" Cui Tao asked back.

Cui Zhi bowed his head aggrieved, not daring to complain any more, and tried to do what Cui Tao said.But the truth is exactly as Cui Zhi said, whenever Lu Gongbi was mentioned, she trembled all over, full of loopholes.

Cui Tao sighed in desperation, "How about this, you change someone. Don't call him Baochen, just call him cousin, imagine him as your other cousin."

Under Cui Tao's guidance, Cui Zhi got better, but he was still a little unnatural, and said with a mournful face: "But I really can't please my cousin, he is a big fat man, he is still dark, and his nose is so flat Like garlic."

"Then change to something better." Cui Tao continued to suggest.

"My cousin is not good-looking." Cui Zhi still looked dejected.

For a novice acting like Cui Zhi, she must help her find a real connection that empathizes with her, so that she can act authentically and naturally.

Cui Tao was silent for a while, suddenly thought of someone, and said to Cui Zhi: "Han Zhigui! With his face, isn't it good-looking?"

Cui Zhi was startled, then lowered his head, pursed his lips and nodded.

"Yes, that's it." Cui Tao asked Cui Zhi to remember the feeling just now, and when he turned around to call his cousin, he could only think about Han Qi's face vigorously.

"Seventh sister, is it not good for me to be like this? If the official Han Tui finds out, then wouldn't I have another reason to be caught." Cui Zhi said awkwardly.

"It's a trick, and Bianjing can catch a bunch of them." There are too many women who admire Han Qi. Cui Tao heard Li Yuan mention it earlier, and the threshold of Han Qi's family was really broken by two.

When a red glow appeared in the east, Cui Tao stretched her waist, finally finished her lecture to Cui Zhi, and left the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Just as the prison was having breakfast, Cui Tao returned to the prison yawning.

Ping'er and Wang Siniang were eating, and when they saw Cui Tao came back, they thought she had been interrogated all night because of the poisoning of three jailers.Pinger continued to eat in silence.But Wang Siniang stopped and asked how Cui Tao was doing.

"The interrogation is over, but the person who poisoned me is not easy to find, and I have no clue at all." Cui Tao couldn't help yawning again.

"It's the killer of Tianji Pavilion." At this time, Ping'er suddenly said, and turned to look at Cui Tao, "Your enemy should be the killer who hired his family."

Cui Tao and Wang Siniang turned their attention to Pinger at the same time.

"How do you know it's someone from Tianji Pavilion, and you've never seen a food delivery person!" Wang Siniang laughed at Ping'er's nonsense.

"I haven't seen it, but I saw red plums under the dishes last night. At first, I thought something was wrong, but I couldn't tell. When I learned that someone was poisoned to death, I remembered that it was the poison of Tianji Pavilion." The characteristic mark of the holy hand Honggu's killing. There are many killers under the Tianji Pavilion. Sometimes they come to the business and there is not enough to grab a deal. Several killers will grab a single business. Therefore, when the killer kills, he will leave his own special mark , so as to distinguish who succeeded in attacking."

Cui Tao looked at Ping'er, "Why did you tell me this?"

"Because helping you is helping me."

As soon as Ping'er finished speaking, the cell boss Sun came over.

While opening the cell door, Prison Leader Sun announced loudly that Pinger and Cui Tao's sentence was over and they could be released from prison.

Cui Tao looked at Prison Leader Sun's serious look, and thought that his talent in acting was much better than Cui Zhi's.

"You were all released so soon?" Wang Siniang was so surprised that she jumped up from the ground and asked Cui Tao, "You... aren't you a death row prisoner?"

Ping'er was charged with a minor crime, so it's not surprising that she was released, but Cui Tao was once a capital offender!

"Like her, I provided important clues to help the government solve the case, so I was pardoned." Cui Tao said this, but she sighed in her heart: it's fake.

"Then, that, I also provided important clues. If I hadn't revealed the location of Guihuai Village, how could the Yamen have been wiped out so easily?" Wang Siniang immediately sat on the ground, slapped her thigh and cried, shouting and shouting that it was unfair.I don't know where she has such a good voice, the shouts can almost shake the tiles of the roof to pieces.

Prisoner Sun told her to shut up, but she didn't listen.By coincidence, Bao Zheng just passed by the prison in a carriage, and heard a shrill female voice calling for grievances from inside the prison.

So, half an hour later, there were three more plainly dressed, but each with its own characteristics Jianghu women on the imperial street.

One is as beautiful as jade, full of indescribable wit and strength; the other is gentle and delicate, like a lotus flower in the wind, gentle enough to touch people's hearts with every frown and smile; Wiping his nose with his sleeve, he was strong and ugly but had breasts, so he could barely tell that this person was also a woman.
