The Prequel of Baolian Lantern Konghouyin

"So," Yang Jian said seriously, "the fourth princess really thinks that Ao Qi's treatment of He Shi and Ao Qiong is very appropriate?"

Ting Xin bowed her head and said with a smile, "If you talk about family etiquette, Ao Cong, the Lord of Qiantang, is my distant uncle. As for official business, I have visited his territory no less than a hundred times since I took over the military power - Ao Cong is quite a man. A wise and resolute person, he is considered outstanding among the several Dragon Lords under my rule in the East China Sea. If Ao Qi is his successor after his death, I don’t think there is any controversy to discuss.”

"So what about Ao Qi? What kind of person is he?"

The sky outside the window gradually darkened, dusk seemed to come early, and the dark clouds filled the sky at some point, and then slowly pressed down from the sky, like old cotton-padded jackets, or broken tiles, heavy, pressed on the surface of the sea superior.The slowly flowing sea water on the brackets of Huaiyuan Hall was smudged by the sky, and it seemed to be mixed with a touch of ink in an instant, changing from bright green to gloomy blue.

"Ao Qi," the fourth princess lowered her eyes, her face could not tell whether it was sadness or joy, "I don't see Ao Qi much, if we chat, I can tell you some rumors. But Zhenjun is asking about the case at this moment. , I can't speculate."

Yang Jian was not surprised.In the past, to help Chen Xiang save his mother, he shot out Ao Ting Xin Yuanshen in Wanku Mountain, and then put her soul in the Soul Gathering Cauldron, and placed her soul in the secret room of the Zhenjun Temple to recuperate. He is very familiar with the four princesses of the East China Sea.Ting Xin is a rare exception among the princesses of the Dragon Clan. She is bright, wise and decisive. She has assisted her father and king in the East China Sea for many years.

"I got a piece of calligraphy from Mrs. He." Yang Jian took out the doufang, handed it to Tingxin and said, "Since you have business dealings with Ao Cong, you should be able to recognize his handwriting."

Ting Xin took over Dou Fang from the case, looked at it carefully for a moment and said: "It is indeed Ao Cong's handwriting." She frowned, "Only this Dou Fang is not a will, so what can it prove?"

"I also can't figure it out." Yang Jian sighed, "If according to Ao Xiang's words, Mr. Qiantang and his wife played the piano and zither in harmony, and there should be only a handwritten letter and her mother and son left behind."

The fourth princess stood up, took the handwritten book to the steps outside the Huaiyuan Hall, looked at the sunlight for a long time and said, "Could there be something hidden behind this mirror heart?"

Yang Jian shook his head and said, "I've watched it by the candlelight, and the paper is very fine, and the silk edges are perfectly stitched, and there is no abnormality to the touch."

"Can you take it apart and have a look?"

Yang Jian frowned: "This is the only relic left by Mr. Qiantang to his wife. If it can't be restored after being disassembled, don't we deserve to treat her mother and son?"

Ting Xin thought for a while and smiled, "I know someone who can help us with this." She handed the word back to Yang Jian, pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Cun Xin's sister-in-law is a good painter, and she is the best at mounting paintings. You can take it to the West Sea to show the eldest princess."

Yang Jian accepted Dou Fang, smiled and nodded—there are countless craftsmen in the world who can be fooled, how can it be the Grand Princess Xihai who specializes in it?Ting Xin was just looking for an excuse to let him go to the West Sea to meet Cun Xin, and immediately bowed to Ting Xin like a good friend, and said with a smile: "I would like to obey the constitution."

"Look!" Eldest Princess Rong Yue used her long little fingernails to pick apart the wet brocade border, and saw a thin piece of writing paper pasted inside the lining. She carefully peeled off the paper and pasted it on. On the plate of moiré silver bars that had been prepared earlier, he handed it to Cun Xin who was waiting by the side.

Cun Xin held the board in both hands, and watched it carefully with Yang Jian. When Yang Jian saw it, his face changed drastically. He stood up and took two steps, then suddenly turned around, took the silver plate from Cun Xin's hand, studied it carefully for a while, and read it carefully. Put it aside and don't speak.

Seeing him pondering, Cun Xin took the silver plate to look at it, and saw that it read:

"I have been imprisoned for many years because of my crimes, resulting in my eldest son Ao Qi being out of school, domineering and surly, and eventually becoming a glutton. Fortunately, God favored me, so that I was able to meet my wife, and my youngest son, Ao Qiong, is intelligent, diligent and studious. In the future, I will honor my family. This son must be the one. However, Qiong'er is young, if the great position is passed on, Ao Qi will definitely turn against him, and the lives of Qiong'er, mother and son will be lost. Qi Tianliang is still alive, and he should take good care of Qiong'er, mother and son. If he is perpetually wicked and hopeless, please send this volume of last words to the heavens to listen to him, and be sure." There is a date and a private seal "Master of Fuchunju" at the bottom .

Cun Xin hurriedly asked the eldest princess to bring the fighting party over for comparison, the seals on the two pieces of paper were actually the same, and the second daughter was dumbfounded at the moment.Cun Xin put down the silver plate and said with boxing words: "This Ao Qi is really hateful, as Mr. Qiantang expected, he is so jealous of his stepmother and brother, he is really a scum of my dragon clan!"

That Rong Yue glanced at the still standing Xiansheng Zhenjun, stepped forward and tugged on Cun Xin's sleeves and said: "I don't think so. Look," she put the two pieces of writing paper side by side on the desk and said: " The seals under these two words are naturally the same, but the handwriting is different." Rong Yue pointed to the will, "The writing style of this que is light and delicate, the corners are rounded, and the strokes are often upturned, which looks very lively. And this Although the handwriting of the will is very similar to that of Dou Fang, it is still quite sharp at the turning point of the strokes, here and here, the spacing is quite large, the writing is strong and powerful, it does not seem to be written by the same person."

When she said this, Cun Xin saw it, and frowned, "Then this will is a fake?"

"If it's fake, it's also fake." Yang Jian interjected lightly, seeing Cun Xin's doubts, he smiled and said, "I've only seen Mrs. He, but I haven't seen this Ao Qi yet..."

"That's right!" The three princesses of Xihai clasped their palms together and laughed, "When we arrive at Qiantang Dragon Palace, we can find the calligraphy and paintings of Lao Longjun, and we will know which ones are authentic!" After saying that, thinking that Yang Jian was about to leave again, she couldn't help but look at him. An, moved his lips, but said nothing.

Rong Yue re-sealed Dou Fang's skirt, took the will together with Yang Jian and kept it away with Yang Jian, looked at Cun Xin who bowed her head silently, and said with a smile: "Sanmei, why don't you go to Qiantang with the real king, if the father king Blame it, it's me."

Cun Xin shook her head, and said softly: "Father's temper really flares up, and even the eldest brother can't bear the blame, how can I hurt the sister-in-law?" She raised her head as if she had made up her mind, looked at Yang Jian and said, "The important thing is to handle the case. You go first, I..." She didn't finish speaking, her nose was sore, she hurriedly suppressed her crying, bit her lower lip and said nothing.

True Monarch Qingyuan Miaodao sighed secretly, turned his eyes away, and clasped his fists towards the eldest princess, "Thank you."

As soon as Yang Jian went out to sea, he only heard someone calling from behind: "Zhenjun stay behind!" When he looked back, he saw the fourth princess standing in the sea with a hearty smile and said: "You are leaving in such a hurry, I am afraid that there will be a tiger eating you here. ?”

Yang Jian was overjoyed when he saw Cun Xin next to the fourth princess, and hurriedly said with a smile: "You guys are..."

"I, I talked about a whole set of military tactics with my third uncle. What kind of formation changes are based on the three shapes? Even the "Shen Miao Marching Law" at the bottom of the box was overturned. It can make my third uncle talk about it with joy. Promise me to take Sanmei to Donghai to live for a while." Ting Xin said, pushing Cun Xin who was standing still and said: "Hurry up and go, when Uncle San wakes up, you won't be able to leave!"
