Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 912

Looking at the few sheets of paper spread out on the table, Tantai Pingchuan felt that these pictures were very familiar. He seemed to have seen these pictures a long time ago, but for a while, he couldn't determine when and where he saw them. picture.

"What are you thinking?" Xuanyuan Liang yawned, and looked at the person opposite with her cheeks on her hands, "What's wrong with this picture?"

"It's very familiar."

"It has something to do with you?"

"I don't remember." Tantai Pingchuan shook his head, "Give me some time, let me think about it."

He reached out to pick up one of the blueprints, carefully read every detail, and tried his best to find clues to this blueprint from his memory.

Seeing Tantai Pingchuan racking his brains, Xuanyuan Liang shook his head helplessly. He has lived for too long and experienced too many things. It is not easy to find a specific memory.

He sighed softly, stood up quietly, left the tea room silently, turned around and went to the dining room, ready to make soup to give the guy inside a good brain boost.

Tantai Pingchuan glanced at Xuanyuan Liang who had left, and smiled slightly. Although this guy disliked his bad memory every time, every time he disliked him, he would cook and prepare delicious food himself, a typical knife-mouthed tofu heart.

Watching Xuanyuan Liang's figure disappear from his sight, Tantai Pingchuan's gaze once again fell on the blueprint in his hand, and continued to stare at it for almost a cup of tea, before he managed to pull out an unsettling paragraph from his numerous memories. It's a very clear story.

That was a long, long time ago. That year he just woke up from the deep sleep in the mountains and decided to come to Xijing to find traces of the Xuanyuan family. There was no intention of raising troops, and everything looked so peaceful, but this calm did not last long. After about two years, everything changed beyond recognition.

Back then, he found out that Xuanyuan's family had always been in Xijing and had not moved to other places, so he came to Xijing directly to look for it.However, he fell ill before entering the city, so he could only temporarily stay in the inn in the suburbs.

At that time, the outskirts of Xijing had not been confiscated by the royal family, and the so-called royal courtyard had not yet been built. There were still many people living here, and they opened some small inns, small restaurants, etc., for pedestrians to pick up and eat.

Tantai Pingchuan rubbed his chin, lowered his head to look at the blueprints on the table, stretched his waist, stood up and strolled in the tea room.

At that time, the small inn he stayed in should be relatively large nearby. Besides him, there was another team of craftsmen staying in the inn. According to the owner, they were specially invited by a certain important person who was building another courtyard nearby. , The master in charge of the entire construction, because this inn has the best conditions nearby, so the housekeeper of the big man arranged to live here.

Later, he found out that the big man who was building the other courtyard was Tong Wang, a rising star in the former court.

The few craftsmen who were responsible for the construction of the Tongwang Bieyuan went out early and returned late every day. Sometimes they ran into each other and greeted each other politely. There was not much interaction.

On the morning when he was about to leave for Xijing City, it rained suddenly and everyone was trapped in the inn.

"If you can't think of it, don't think about it, just drink the soup!"

Trapped in memories, Tantai Pingchuan was taken aback by the sudden opening of the door and the person who walked in with a scent. He looked at the person holding the soup bowl carefully, smiled, and walked over to remove all the things on the table. She pulled it aside, and consciously ran to the small cabinet in the corner, and took two small bowls and spoons.

"I've already thought about it." First filled a bowl and put it in front of Xuanyuan Liang, and then served it for himself, Tantai Pingchuan glanced at the person who was going to drink the soup, "Let it cool before drinking, don't burn it."

Xuanyuan Liang looked at Tantai Pingchuan who was sitting down, and then at the drawings thrown aside, and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"It really has something to do with you?"

"Why do you go out and talk like a little daughter-in-law?"

"Stop talking nonsense, tell the truth, what's going on?"

"It was actually a coincidence, and it was unintentional." Tantai Pingchuan simply told the background of the story, "The rain that day was very heavy, which disrupted many people's original plans, so they could only wait for the rain in the inn. Stop. Coincidentally, those craftsmen and I were sitting together, and they were discussing how the house should be arranged and what kind of settings should be made. I thought it was very interesting at the time, so I added a few words."

"You are not a talkative person, why did you suddenly..." Xuanyuan Liang looked at Tantai Pingchuan while drinking the soup, "Maybe this is fate?"

"I don't know." Tantai Pingchuan shook his head, "But according to what they said, it should be a guide?" He chuckled, "At that time, I didn't know that this house was built by King Tong, because at that time he was in charge of managing the gang. Craftsmen are not like people from Tongwang Mansion, but..."

"In the palace." Xuanyuan Liang sighed, "I know this. They say that Emperor Chongde and King Tong are in the same situation, but what they don't know is that the relationship between the two is much better than they thought. Individuals are the real family, but due to various external factors, it can only show the illusion that no one can tolerate anyone."

"Yes, they are actually poor people who can't help themselves. Fortunately, this house was built before, otherwise there would be no place to breathe." Tantai Pingchuan finished drinking a bowl of soup, and filled another bowl for himself "Actually, this house is not a courtyard with three entrances, but a courtyard with a middle courtyard. Seriously, it should be a courtyard with five entrances. However, there are two courtyards that are well hidden." He moved to the side , took the blueprint of the second yard, and pointed to the walls on the east and west sides, "These kids only care about whether there are organs in the house, and they don't pay attention to the outer walls at all."

"The agency is here?"

"En!" Tantai Pingchuan nodded, "A few wall bricks are movable, and there are traps inside. After opening, the two walls will be separated from the left and right, and you can see the courtyard behind the wall."

"So, what the children said, standing on the roof and seeing the layout of the whole house is actually used to confuse them. It's all an illusion, isn't it?"

"That's right, this is one of the ideas I gave them at the time. If someone who is good at this breaks in, they will definitely be confused by this." Tantai Pingchuan shook his head, "Forget it, bring a few children to play tomorrow Let's play, maybe they can get a windfall."
