Dragon Pattern Roll Set

The Mei twins wanted to read the gossip, but they really came up with a shocking gossip.

The scene was extremely embarrassing, but fortunately it suddenly involved the case of Cui Cheng's death, so he changed the subject.

Mei Lie felt sorry for her son, while Mei Tianlin was hit hard. She didn't know her mother had died long ago after living for 30 years, and she didn't even see her face.

In the midst of the confusion, Zhan Zhao suddenly said, "Wait a minute, let's find a place to sit down and explain things clearly!"

Zhao Pu pouted at the shadow guards, and the shadow guards ran to the side to book a restaurant, and everyone found a bigger room, sat down and chatted in detail.

After sitting down.

Zhao Pu first asked Mei Lie, "I said brother..."

Mei Lie sighed, waved his hands, and said, "I know, I will tell you what happened back then..."

After finishing speaking, Mei Lie told everyone about her youth...

When Mei Lie was young, he was arrogant and arrogant, and his family chose a few well-matched women for him, but he didn't even look down on them.

Once in the palace, he met a maid named Fei'er.This maid was different and beautiful, so coincidentally, she was sent from the palace to Mei Lie's other courtyard, after a few visits, the two became acquainted, and finally Mei Lie fell in love with this court lady.

If the family disagreed, it was true, but Mei Lie had inherited the title early on, his parents basically couldn't control him, and he would not live by watching his family's face.

Mei Lie lived in another courtyard for more than two years, and Fei'er stayed with him for more than two years, and even gave birth to a child.

Two years later, Mei Lie was going back to his hometown, and the maids sent to his other courtyard were also going back to the palace.Naturally, Mei Lie would not let Fei'er go back to be a court lady, and in his capacity, it would be very simple to tell the palace to take her home together.

But the strange thing is, Fei'er said that she can't go back, and she has to go back to the palace to be a maid, which makes Mei Lie quite puzzled.

Fei'er discussed with Mei Lie, saying that she still had a very important matter to do, and asked him to wait for her for a while. Although Mei Lie agreed, she still had doubts in her heart.

Fei'er would go back to the palace every few days, Mei Lie didn't care at first, but then felt something was wrong, so he followed her quietly... As a result, he saw Fei'er and Kui Mu having a private meeting in the palace.Mei Lie was very angry, and when Fei'er came back, she asked her where she had been, but she didn't tell the truth, and just made up a reason to prevaricate, so Mei Lie took her son back to her hometown in a fit of anger, and agreed to the family's arrangement marriage.

Mei Lie originally thought that Fei'er would definitely come after her, and if there was a misunderstanding, she would have to explain it clearly, but who would have thought that on the day of their marriage, Mei Lie received a sculpture of plum blossom and fish tail crossing, and the news of Fei'er's death came.

It was too late for Mei Lie to regret it, but it was too late to redeem it, so she could only regret it for the rest of her life.

Mei Lie tried to speak briefly, but everyone looked at him directly before listening, and all looked at him sideways after listening.

Mei Tianlin's eyes were red, Zhao Pu shook his head.

The twins were very dissatisfied with their own father, so Mei Tianyun said, "Father, you are wrong, why don't you go after asking!"

"That's right! Maybe it's not a private meeting, but just a chance encounter!" Mei Tianfei stomped his feet, "How wronged is Madam's death!"

Everyone looked at the twins in silence, the aunt recognized them quite quickly.

Mei Lie also regretted it, but when she was young, she was too ignorant and arrogant, and it was too late to regret after making a big mistake.

But among the crowd, Cui Miao, who was supposed to be the most angry, interrupted everyone's blaming Mei Lie and asked, "What did you say? My sister met Kui Mu?"

Mei Lie was also taken aback, nodded, "That's right..."

"Why didn't you say that?!" Cui Miao slapped the table.

Mei Lie shocked her, "I...whom should I talk to?"

Cui Miao's eyes changed, "My sister may not have committed suicide..."

"What?!" Mei Lie and Mei Tianlin said in unison, the father and son looked alike, with a murderous look on their faces.

"It's indeed a bit unreasonable." Zhan Zhao also said, "When you two separated, the child was only about one year old, right?"

Mei Lie nodded.

"Would a mother commit suicide by leaving a child about one year old?" Gongsun also thought it was unreasonable.

"With my sister's character, absolutely not!" Cui Miao said, "For so many years, I only thought she was abandoned for a moment, but now that I think about it...it might not be that simple."

"And the place where he chose to commit suicide is still in the palace Peacock Lake." Bai Yutang nodded.

"Does your sister know martial arts?" Gongsun asked Cui Miao.

Cui Miao nodded lightly, "Yes, but it's just ordinary, not very good."

"I want to do an autopsy on her..." Gongsun asked, "Is that okay..."

Cui Miao didn't wait for Gongsun to finish, and said to Ah Yi, "Go and dig out the coffin and send it to Kaifeng Mansion."

Ah Yi nodded, Zhao Pu asked the shadow guards to go together, and the twins also went to help.

Zhao Pu's case didn't count as his participation in the whole process. He spent most of his time in the palace accompanying his empress and preparing the birthday banquet.Hearing this, the Ninth Prince suddenly asked everyone, "Am I confused, or are you confused, or old man Lin Xiao is confused?"

Everyone looked at him.

Zhao Pudao, "If I remember correctly, isn't it five years ago that Mr. Lin Xiao met the court lady Feiyue's suicide?"

Everyone was stunned.

Cui Miao shook her head, "No, my sister died 30 years ago!"

"Wait a minute..." Bai Yutang also felt that it seemed complicated, "Both dead are called Feiyue?"

"My sister's name is Cui Fei." Cui Miao was puzzled, "Did someone die in the palace five years ago? My Cui family died in a luthier called Yaoqin... Her real name is Cui Yao, and she was also the one who entered the palace to check case……"

Zhan Zhao scratched his head, "How many maids died in this palace?! How many of them died and left the fishtail array behind?"

"The maid committed suicide five years ago, did she leave any remains?" Gongsun asked.

Zhao Pu asked Zhe Ying to go to the palace to ask questions, and it was all messed up.

Mei Tianlin's focus was entirely on the case many years ago, and she asked Zhan Zhao, "If...my mother was killed, then the most suspect..."

Zhan Zhao and the others nodded, "Kui Mu."

"The Kui family and the Cui family are family friends, did they stop seeing each other later?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

Cui Miao sneered, "The tree fell and the monkeys scattered. After the accident happened to my Cui family, my friends from back then avoided it as much as possible."

"Then what happened to the red jade you sent back then?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"Uh... I did it myself. Yuweidu cursed Meihua because his surname is Mei." Cui Miao said, "Knowing that he's married, he's worthless for my sister, so I sent him to try to hide him."

"Then Fei'er had to stay in the palace back then...why exactly?" Mei Lie was puzzled.

Cui Miao smiled lightly and said, "My sister is different from me. In our generation, every boy is a girl. My grandpa dotes on her the most. After the family members died, we wanted to find out why it happened back then. The family was destroyed, and later it was found out that the secret was in those jade wares, and most of these jade wares were in the palace, so we divided into two groups, I searched among the people, and she went to the palace to investigate as a court lady..."

Mei Lie sighed, "Why didn't she discuss it with me..."

Cui Miao sneered, "Aren't you afraid of hurting you, you idiot."

Mei Lie bowed her head.

Bai Yutang suddenly asked, "Fei'er told you back then to ask you to wait for her for a while?"

"En." Mei Lie nodded.

"That means she already has a clue!" Zhan Zhao said, "At least she has a clue."

"So the person who killed her was the person who killed the Cui family back then?" Mei Tianlin asked.

"Kui Mu has collected a lot of jade with the fishtail ferry pattern, and he also stole that red jade," Zhan Zhao said.

"It turned out to be him who stole my Mei family's birthday gift?!" Mei Lie got angry and stood up, "I'll find him!"

Zhan Zhao and the others hurriedly stopped him, and Mei Tianlin also grabbed his father, "Father! Don't worry!"

Mei Lie looked at her son.

Mei Tianlin asked Mei Lie to sit down, then turned around and asked Zhan Zhao and the others, "Could it be that the jade carving was stolen because there was a fishtail on it?"

Everyone nodded, that should be the case.

"Kui Wang's mansion is indeed under serious suspicion..." Zhan Zhao said, and asked Bai Yutang, "Where are my grandfather and the others?"

Bai Yutang "It's next door, I just said I want to eat."

"The fourth son is also there." Gongsun ran to the next door to take a look, sure enough, the fourth son Tianzun Yinhou and they were all there.

After everyone came here to chat about the case, Tianzun and Yin Hou said they were hungry, and Bai Yutang arranged a separate room next door for the old men to bring their fourth son, Xiao Liangzi, to eat there.

Gongsun brought Yin Hou over.

Zhan Zhao gave Yin Hou a chopstick, and asked him to tap the piece of music against the cup.

Yin Hou knocked on the cup a few times...

Zhan Zhao asked Mei Lie and Cui Miao, "Have you heard this song?"

Cui Miao frowned, and said, "That's the piece my luthier used to play..."

"Luther master?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Cui Miao said, "My grandpa loves to listen to the piano very much, so he invited a very good piano master to stay at home. The pieces played by this piano master are very difficult. There are few people in the world who can play the piano except him, so my grandfather likes him very much. , almost every day to listen to him play, and among the many songs, grandpa loves this one the most."

"What's the name of the luthier?" Bai Yutang asked.

"The surname is Mu, we all call him Mr. Mu..." Cui Miao thought for a while, "Speaking of which, this person seems to be an old friend with my grandfather and Kui Shanqing."

"Surname Mu?" Yin Hou's face suddenly became gloomy.

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at him.

Zhao Pu asked, "The old man knows someone suspicious?"

Yin Hou nodded, walked to the wall, and knocked.

Everyone was puzzled, but as soon as Yin Hou finished knocking, Tianzun ran over.

Everyone held their foreheads, and they could hear the two knocks across the wall, that is, Tianzun...

Tianzun looked at Yin Hou in puzzlement.

Yin Hou said, "This girl said that the one who played that piece of music was a luthier surnamed Mu."

As soon as Yin Hou finished speaking, Tianzun jumped up, "You are still alive without a heart?!"

Everyone was puzzled, Bai Yutang asked, "Why are you heartless?"

Yin Hou said, "His name is Mu Xin, and he is the qin master in Li Min's palace. He was raised by Li Min as a pet. He is called a sweetheart. This person is very abnormal, and his heart is especially vicious. There is no cure. Mu Xingan Mu Xingan has been calling him for a long time, and everyone in the palace secretly called him heartless."

"Do you have a problem with him?" Zhan Zhao felt that it was useless to ask, and Tian Zun, who seemed to be very close to Li Min, hated it.

Tianzun moved a chair and sat down, said, "He knew about the Wanju Palace, he was one of Li Min's confidantes back then, but he disappeared later... Speaking of it..."

"He did go to the West Sea with the boat, but we don't know if he entered Moon Bay with the fleet." Yin Hou frowned, "With his courage and cunning, he might not have entered Moon Bay back then!"

"He knows many secrets?" Bai Yutang asked.

Tianzun smiled and said, "Li Yan can't tell anyone any secrets. He happens to have a pet by his side. Of course, he quietly told him all the secrets!"

Everyone frowned, "Is that so..."

"Yao Qin is also a luthier!" Zhao Pu asked, "Could she have something to do with Mu Xin?"

Everyone looked at Cui Miao.

Cui Miao spread her hands, "The descendants of my Cui family are all patchwork. I find as many as I can. In fact, my sister was also separated from us for a while, so how could she have contact with Kui Mu? I don't know." Know."

Yin Hou looked at Cui Miao and said, "Girl, to put it bluntly, your grandfather, Kui Shanqing, and Mu Xin were like-minded back then, and they did a lot of bad things when they united to work for Li Min."

Cui Miao nodded slightly, indicating that she knew.

"But your grandfather is really loyal to Li Min." Yin Hou said, "Those two are different! It may be these two people who harmed your family back then."

Cui Miao nodded, "I also guessed that some acquaintance betrayed me back then, but I didn't expect that... would be my grandfather's best friend."

"There are tributes and birthday gifts stolen from the palace in Kuimu's other courtyard, and we can catch his personal stolen goods if we go now." Zhan Zhao said, "It's just... Mu Xin hasn't seen it all this time."

"Maybe he's already dead." Tianzun said, "He's not that good at kung fu, so there's no reason to live so long."

"What about Cui Cheng?" Zhan Zhao asked, "There is still a piece of jade that has not been found. If it is found, the map to the Palace of Ten Thousand Curses will be spelled out."

"He's your Cui family." Bai Yutang asked Cui Miao, "If he doesn't avenge the Cui family, why is he going to the Palace of Ten Thousand Curses?"

Cui Miao shook her head, "I have never met this Cui family, what generation is it, I don't know..."

"So, Kui Mu was the one who framed Xu Ji back then?" Zhao Pu asked.

Gongsun wondered, "What are they all looking for in the palace?"

"Cui Cheng said that the last piece is missing... Could Kuaiyu be in the palace?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"I took a look just now, and although more than half of the picture of the Palace of Ten Thousand Curses has been drawn, the detailed description on the scroll of Chuntang Pavilion is much, much different... So, the last piece must be a very important jade pendant! Question Yes, where is that piece of jade?!"

……

in the palace.

Concubine Pang wandered around the yard, and when she returned to the house, she saw Xiao Xiangxiang with her hands behind her back, looking left and right.

Concubine Pang felt that the way she stood with her hands behind her back was exactly like his father, so she ran to hug her up, "What are you doing?"

Xiao Xiangxiang hugged Concubine Pang and said, "Emperor, I'm hiding something, guess where it's hidden?!"

"Where did you hide it?" Concubine Pang walked around the room looking for Xiangxiang in her arms, "What did you hide?"

Xiao Xiangxiang covered her mouth and blinked at her mother—father Huanghuang said to keep it a secret!

……

At the same time, the treasury where the tribute was stored was stolen once, so the guards became tighter.

At this moment, a large number of guards of the Imperial City Army brought birthday gifts from various places.

The steward of the warehouse and several eunuchs were busy recording and compiling the books. Every time one was received, the steward would yell, and the civil servant would record the name, and then store the box number.

I just heard the steward open a box and yell, "Devil City of the Western Regions, the birthday gift of the master of the Fire Phoenix Hall..."

The manager took a look at the jade-carved Kowloon roulette, but didn't know the name, so he said, "Uh...a Nine-Dragon jade disc."

The two civil servants in charge of the registration looked at each other, and felt that the gift from Huofengtang was inexplicable. Shouldn't it be given to Zhao Pu on his birthday? How could it be given to the emperor?

The two young eunuchs who were in charge of arranging the birthday gifts also found it strange, and took the box into the warehouse to find a place to put it, and the two chatted.

"I heard that Devil City is super rich, why give such a shabby gift?"

"I also heard that people in Devil City throw gold and silver at people to say hello."

"Then is this small plate an antique or something?"

"Who knows, maybe we don't know the goods..."

The two young eunuchs put the box away, went out, and it was time for the shift. They washed their hands and left the hospital to eat.

As the two walked, they were still talking about the roulette wheel, during which several court ladies walked past them.When the two little eunuchs walked to the dining place and closed the door, Ge Qing flashed out and asked, "How is it?"

The two young eunuchs drank water, "Master Ge, we have talked all the way."

Ge Qing nodded and patted them both, "You two are full and continue talking this afternoon, do you hear me?"

Both agreed.

Ge Qing went out and walked towards the gate of the palace. From a distance, he saw Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang, Zhao Pu and Gongsun coming.

Zhan Zhao scratched his head while walking, as if he couldn't figure out something.

At the gate of the palace.

Ge Qing just wanted to say that everything was done according to Zhan Zhao's arrangement, but Zhan Zhao grabbed him and asked, "How many palace ladies died in the palace?"

Ge Qing blinked, "That's too much!"

"Where are the bones buried?" Gongsun asked.

Ge Qing shook his head, "Well, if you have family members, return them to your family. If you don't have family members, you can send them to Qingshan, but the most common way to die is to jump into the river. It may be washed out with the current, or sink to the bottom and be eaten by fish Yes. You also know that those lakes have never been drained, and there are so many fish in them, the biggest one is almost ten feet long, which is really scary."

Zhan Zhao stared at him, "Has that lake never been drained?"

Ge Qing nodded.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, then looked back at Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu opened his eyes wide, "Why are you looking at me?"

Zhan Zhao thought for a while and asked, "Guess if I promise the emperor to win the cat competition for him, will he promise us to drain the Peacock Lake?"

Zhao Pu poked in the direction behind Zhan Zhao, "Ask him."

Zhan Zhao and the others looked back, and saw Nangong walking out.

After Zhan Zhao talked about his thoughts, Nangong looked at the sky, "Then what's the use of it?"

"What should I do?"

Nangong hooked his fingers to the crowd, and they followed him into the palace.

At the door of the study, Zhao Zhen is exercising his muscles, twisting his waist and stretching his hands, it seems that the fourth son taught him a set of exercises.

Seeing everyone coming, Zhao Zhen smiled, "Oh, why don't you all come and live in my palace, and build a meow house or something here."

Everyone is looking up at the sky, Zhao Zhen thinks they always enter the palace...

Zhan Zhao and the others looked at Nangong, wanting to see how he would discuss with Zhao Zhen.

Seeing Nangong walk up to Zhao Zhen, he said, "Your Majesty."

"Huh?" Zhao Zhen looked at him.

"I just heard two envoys from the Liao Kingdom talking nonsense." Nangong said.

"Oh?" Zhao Zhen's eyebrows jumped up, "What did they say?"

"They said that they recently invented a powerful waterwheel, and it only takes one day to drain a lake the size of Peacock Lake." Nangong said nonsense with his eyes open, without even shaking his eyelids, "They also joked that our waterwheel in the Central Plains is not good at all. Not good, the lake in the palace hasn’t been smoked for so many years, I should have known that birthday gifts don’t give gold, silver, treasures and waterwheels..."

Everyone opened their mouths and looked at Zhao Zhen together.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Zhen snorted with his nostrils upturned, and waved his dragon robe sleeve, "Give me a half-day to drain the water from Peacock Lake, and let those savages see whose waterwheel is powerful!"

Nangong winked at everyone.

Everyone looked up at the sky, and sure enough, honest people are deceiving others...
