Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 911 An Oolong

While the two brothers in Yancheng were discussing how to cooperate with Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, the preliminary investigation of Yan's villa in Xijing was still going on.

Among these few people, Jin Miaomiao was considered extensive and well-informed. Seeing that Song Yaojia was interested in the big willow tree in the courtyard, she walked over and stood side by side with him, and looked up at the towering willow tree. canopy.

"A hundred-year-old tree has a story. It has witnessed period after period of history, whether we know it or we don't know it."

"Why is His Royal Highness so emotional all of a sudden?"

"I just suddenly remembered the former owner of this garden." Song Yaojia sighed softly, "King Tong, a very legendary figure."

"It's really legendary." Jin Miaomiao nodded in agreement. She looked at the blue sky and chuckled, "When we were young, Master was talking about this prince, and Xiaocha had a very good idea for him. description."

"what?"

"Peerless elegance." Jin Miaomiao smiled at Song Yaojia, "He has conquered many people with his unique charm, but he has also made many people feel dangerous. And that high and mighty Emperor Chongde is probably The one who fears him the most, even if this magnificent and legendary prince is his brother."

"They can only be regarded as brothers in name, and the little blood relationship is almost negligible, and it is far from being able to overcome Emperor Chongde's suspicion of him." Song Yaojia sighed, "Those courtiers never thought about it. Their support and admiration are actually knives stuck in Tong Wang's body. They are all to blame for Tong Wang's life and death. Of course, it may not be because they did it on purpose, after all..." He sneered He said, "If the prince who has power over the court and the emperor cherish each other, they will be the ones who have a hard time."

"The soldiers are already approaching the city, and you are still thinking about your own life. Is it sad?" Jin Miaomiao sneered, "There are such ruined courtiers, whether it is Emperor Chongde or King Tong, it is unlucky enough."

"Everything is predestined, they are unlucky, both of them." Song Yaojia patted Jin Miaomiao on the shoulder, "Let's go, go inside and see if there is anything like the big gourd bottle in front. He waved at Bai Meng, "Come on, let's enter through this door."

The three of them walked into the room that looked like a study with great enthusiasm, full of expectations to find the contact point of the so-called mechanism again.

But unfortunately, they didn't find anything similar to the gourd bottle and very close to the mechanism until they looked through the entire courtyard.

"What's the situation now? Didn't find anything? Except for the two big gourd vases in front, there are no furnishings in the style of the previous dynasty?" Jin Miaomiao stood beside the dried up lotus pond in the third yard, Looking around with some discouragement, "Could it be that we guessed wrong? In fact, whether it is displayed or not has nothing to do with the agency?"

Song Yaojia and Bai Meng looked at each other, they were feeling guilty now, and began to wonder if their previous judgment was wrong.

"Anyway, the picture is finished, right?" Seeing Jin Miaomiao nodding, Song Yaojia waved his hand, "Let's go, let's go out and talk about it."

Seeing a group of people returning to the front yard dejectedly, Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, who were chatting with Uncle Qing, looked at each other.

"What's the matter? Not very interested?" Shen Cha looked at these dejected people with his cheeks, "Didn't find anything?"

"I found something, but very few." Jin Miaomiao put the picture he drew in front of Shen Cha, "We found these two gourd bottles in the front hall, which may be related to the agency. Other courtyards, There are no suspicious items in the other houses."

Shen Cha picked up the pictures, looked at them carefully, and handed them to Shen Haolin.

To be honest, she didn't see any problems after watching it for a long time. She is a first-class master in the formation of troops, but in this kind of mechanism of Qimen Dunjia, she can only be called superficial at best. , Small and simple organs can still be broken, and the possibility of success is still relatively high, but she can't do anything at the level of other courtyards.

"How does brother feel?"

"I can't see it." Shen Haolin was also at a loss after reading it, "If Xiaotian is there, it should be better."

"Among the few of us, only my cousin is interested in this." Song Qiyun poked his head to look at the blueprint in Shen Haolin's hand, shaking his head while looking at it, "Isn't this just a normal home furnishing, what's wrong? "

Jin Miaomiao pointed out the unusual shape of the two large gourd bottles in the front hall. A few people were curious, and they helped Uncle Qing who was also curious, and went in to have a look.

"You guys!" Uncle Qing waved his hands after reading, "I still read too little, and my knowledge is too shallow!"

"Uncle Qing, what does this mean? Does it have nothing to do with the government?"

"Your Majesty, this must be irrelevant." Uncle Qing patted Song Yaojia's arm, "You were right before, this is the style of porcelain from the previous dynasty, but you don't understand it well enough. The gourd vases in the shape of utensils must be fixed in a certain position, as you can see, fixed on both sides of the screen. This kind of fixing looks simple, but in fact it is very complicated to operate. You guys The black sphere you see is used to move the gourd bottle after pressing it down. This is more convenient for cleaning.”

"So it is."

Song Yaojia scratched her head in embarrassment, it seemed that they were thinking too much, and it really had nothing to do with the agency.

"Okay, don't be so discouraged, we are not good at this after all, we still need to find someone who is good at it to help." Song Qiyun looked at the sky outside, "It's getting late, let's go back now, and we can still get in before the city gate closes." city."

"Let's go then!"

A group of people hurried and finally entered the city before the gates of Xijing City were closed. At this time, it was already the beginning of the lights, and the number of people on the street gradually decreased. Most of them had already gone home for dinner.

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha first sent Song Yaojia and Uncle Qing back to Dai Wang's mansion, only then did they know that Dai Wang Ye and Wu Qingruo were not in the mansion, they went out after breakfast in the morning, and they have been in the forbidden army's garrison until now.

Bai Meng waved to Song Yaojia who was about to find someone, telling him to stay at home with peace of mind, and he was responsible for sending the two old people back in person.

"Don't go, go home and have a good rest!" Bai Meng saw that Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, Song Qiyun, and Jin Miaomiao were also coming along, so she quickly refused, "Xiaoyun, do you want to go back to the palace?"

"No reply." Song Qiyun shook his head, "I'll ask An Ying to send a letter to Brother Huang later, I'll be staying at the mansion tonight."

"That's fine." Bai Meng cupped her fists at several people, "Everyone, see you tomorrow!"

Watching Bai Meng leave, Shen Haolin asked Ying Wu to enter the palace with his token, and told Song Jue that they had returned, what they found in Biezhuang today, and we will talk about it in detail tomorrow after court.By the way, she also told him that Song Qiyun would not return to the palace at night, but stayed in the Duke's mansion overnight.

At the same time, Shen Cha also sent someone to Xuanyuan Courtyard to bring today's blueprint to Xuanyuan Liang and Tantai Pingchuan, and asked them to hold their hands to see how to crack the mechanism of this other courtyard.
