Chapter 564 The Third Person

"If His Majesty has nothing to do with it, why would you let me thoroughly investigate the remnants of the former Duan Clan?" Zhong Hui raised his chin and motioned for him to open the file, "You will know after reading it."

While speaking, he noticed that the girl's gaze on the opposite side was not looking at the file that fell on the ground, but instead fell on his waist. He subconsciously lowered his head and glanced at the things hanging on his waist, and asked the girl directly: " What is Miss Jiang Si staring at at Zhong's waist?"

After Jiang Shaoyan hesitated for a while, she still said: "I think the thing on Mr. Zhong's waist looks familiar to me, I wonder if I can borrow it for a look?"

Does it look familiar?Zhong Hui raised his eyebrows and smiled, but without any hesitation, he untied the palm-sized wooden dice and handed it over, with a rather meaningful expression on his face: "Miss Jiang Si really sees Passed this thing? It shouldn’t be!”

Of course, girls are not familiar with the dice themselves, after all, dice can be seen everywhere.

The palm-sized wooden dice in front of him is different from the dice beside it except for the engraved numbers on each side because of the engraved patterns on its surface.It seems to be specially carved for the sake of exquisiteness, but it looks like a flower but not a flower, like a beast but not a beast, and I don't know what it is, just like a special mark and totem.

She had seen this imprint and totem before, but it was not on this wooden dice, but on... Mrs. Yang's crutch.

The cane had been in her hands for some time.Before sending it to Lin Yan, she also caressed for a long time.The weight of the crutch was very heavy, not at all what a wooden crutch should be. She wondered if there was something hidden in the crutch.

In fact, it should be true!Because she thought about simply "breaking it open with brute force", but even if Xiao Wu used the sharpest knife to slash at the crutch, the result was that the blade was curled. Except for a knife mark on the pear wood on the surface, the inside of the crutch safe and sound.

Therefore, the inside should be made of special materials, and it is difficult to break through with ordinary knives and guns.

Later, after thinking about it, she simply wrote down the complex imprinted totem on the surface of the crutch.Of course the crutches have secrets, but she couldn't find the key to unlock the secrets right now, so she sent the crutches to Lin Yan who was investigating the matter.

The wooden dice fell into the palm of her hand and sank suddenly. The slight sinking feeling of the tentacles made the girl frown involuntarily. She looked down at the dice in her hand, weighed it subconsciously, and then raised her head to look at Hao Zhengyixia waiting for her. Zhong Hui, who opened his mouth, asked: "Master Zhong, where did this thing come from? Why do you think I shouldn't have seen this thing?"

Zhong Hui reached out to her to get back the wooden dice, played with it, and said, "Because the craftsman who made this thing in this world died before Miss Jiang Si was born, and if it wasn't for a coincidence, I wouldn't be able to do it." Get this."

At this point, Zhong Hui asked her: "Miss Jiang Si, has she ever heard of the name Gongshulin?"

Jiang Shaoyan shook her head.

Ji Chongyan, who just unfolded the file at the side, stopped what he was doing, raised his head and looked at the wooden dice, and after pondering for a while, he said: "Could it be that the craftsman you mentioned was used by the Dajing imperial family in the previous dynasty, and they were called ghosts. Gong Shulin in hand?"

Is there such a person?Jiang Shaoyan didn't know, nor had she ever heard of it.But the title of "royal use" and "ghost hand" is enough to show that this person is a very powerful master craftsman.

Just don't know why, the reputation doesn't show.

"Gongshulin has an eccentric personality. He is known as one of the most talented children of the powerful Gongshu family for hundreds of years. But before his fame spread across the world, he died in an accident. Many of his things left in the world have been Destroyed by the royal family in the previous dynasty, this thing on me was obtained by chance." Zhong Hui said while playing with the wooden dice in his hand.

It turned out that he was a genius who died young before he became famous, Jiang Shaoyan suddenly said: "Is everything he made destroyed by the hands of tyrants?"

The thoughts of a madman are often incomprehensible to ordinary people.For example, if you wake up early one day, don't sleep well, and happen to see something in front of you, and feel that it is an eyesore, you may chop off the thing and the person who made it.

It was a casual question, but Clinker Zhonghui shook his head with a smile when he heard the words, and said, "Although the tyrant has done many unreasonable things, you really wronged him in this matter. Do It was the father of the tyrant, the former Emperor Ren, who did this."

Of course, compared with ordinary kings, the benevolent emperor is only mediocre, but if compared with tyrants, he is really a benevolent king.

"Anyway, it's common sense that Fourth Miss Jiang shouldn't have seen what Gongshu Lin made, and where did Miss Jiang Fourth see it?" Zhong Hui asked her, with a little more interest in his eyes.

To attract the interest of a Dali Temple minister who is good at peeling cocoons, but this Dali Temple minister is still difficult to distinguish between good and evil, only talking about the truth, regardless of right and wrong, Jiang Shaoyan thinks this may not be a good thing.Because most of the things that interest such people will be obtained by him by all means.

She really didn't want to wake up in the middle of the night and see someone running into her room to search for something, so she said bluntly: "This thing is no longer in my hands."

"What's in there?" Zhong Hui asked.

"Things?" Jiang Shaoyan looked at him with surprise on his face.

Zhong Hui looked at the expression on the girl's face, and for a moment it was difficult to tell whether the expression was true or false.

Glancing at Ji Chongyan who was looking this way, Zhong Hui frowned slightly: He finally knew why these two were together.Birds of a feather flock together.

With the expression on his face that made it difficult for him to distinguish the real from the fake, the two of them really looked exactly the same.

After a moment's pause, he smiled, raised the wooden dice in front of the two of them, and said, "Since Miss Jiang Si has touched that thing before, she should be able to feel that that thing is more powerful than it should be." It weighs a lot, doesn't it?"

Just like a wooden dice, it is reasonable to say that an ordinary wooden dice should be a weightless thing, but his one has weighed a lot.

Jiang Shaoyan nodded and said: "It's really heavy, it's not what a wooden object should hit."

"So, there must be something hidden inside." Zhong Hui said here, looking down at the dice in his hand, sliding his fingers to the patterns on the wooden dice, and walking all the way, sometimes back and forth, sometimes straight all the way, until he turned back again. At the beginning of the pattern, Zhong Hui smiled at her, and at the next moment, there was only a "pop".

The wooden sieve was opened from the middle, revealing the inside made of special material, and a black pill was quietly lying in it.

"This is what's inside this dice," Zhong Hui picked up the black pill and sniffed it under his nose, and said, "Originally, what was inside was a poison that swallowed immortals and used to commit suicide. I will replace it It became a refreshing incense pill, and I brought it with me."

I see!Jiang Shaoyan nodded, looked at Zhong Hui, and said bluntly: "Master Zhong, can you tell me how to unlock the objects made by Gongshulin?"

"The method you want to solve?" Zhong Hui raised his eyes and looked at her with a half-smile, "It should be the same as Zhong, it was obtained by chance and by extraordinary means, not the thing itself. Owner."

As for why...

"What I just used was a solution obtained by an extremely complicated calculation method, and the owner of the object itself does not need such a solution at all. They have the secret key to it." Zhong Hui restored the wooden dice to their original state , pointing to an inconspicuous slit slightly cracked in one corner, and said, "This can be opened directly, unlike me, which has to be unlocked to open the mechanism."

The master craftsmen of mechanisms throughout the ages will not leave only one solution to their mechanisms.The mechanism is complicated, and the secret key may be lost if one is not careful, so there must be another solution.

"This solution is very complicated," Zhong Hui looked at her and said with a smile, "I can give it to you."

Jiang Shaoyan looked at Zhong Hui who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said calmly: "Conditions."

As soon as these two words came out, Zhong Hui couldn't help clapping his hands and smiled. He glanced at Ji Chongyan and said with a smile: "My lord, I understand why you like Miss Jiang Si. She and you are really good friends." A match made in heaven!"

Ji Chongyan glanced at him, didn't speak, but his eyes fell on the girl beside him involuntarily.

The girl who noticed his gaze turned her head and smiled at him, then looked back at Zhong Hui again.

Zhong Hui said calmly: "Zhong has no wealth, power, power or beauty in his life, but he is more curious, and the solution is given to you. If Miss Jiang Si has figured out how to open it, remember to show the contents to Zhong. one look."

This...it doesn't matter, Jiang Shaoyan nodded and said "OK".

With one word fixed, both parties are straightforward people, and this matter has been exposed.

Ji Chongyan spread out the old files thrown by Zhong Hui, and the two looked over.

There are not many words on the old file, but only a few hundred words, but... the content on it is really shocking.

There are hundreds of words in the area, but in the end it is just one sentence: there are still orphans left in the royal family of the previous dynasty.

"This file makes sense when combined with the previous incidents on Jiulongling," Zhong Hui explained, "Although Emperor Ren succeeded to the throne and was called the Son of Heaven, Dajing had lasted for hundreds of years at that time. Regardless of the veterans who are loyal to Dajing, they have already become popular, and it is difficult for the high-ranking emperor to act willfully."

This was originally a good thing, and the behavior of the emperor should not be presumptuous.

But for the emperor, this is of course not a good thing, otherwise it would not have happened on Jiulongling since a hundred years ago.When it was Emperor Ren's turn, the courtier's climate had already been established, so it was fine that he could not be an emperor who could do whatever he wanted, but it was not up to him to decide who would inherit the son.

"Since Emperor Wen did these things in a whimsical way, the whole of Dajing has been in chaos. Emperor Ren was a chosen child on Jiulongling, not the son of the king. It is a coincidence that he got great luck. But even through luck Succession, sitting in the seat for a long time, also has selfish intentions. He also wants his own heir to inherit the throne, but this matter is not up to him. After the struggle is fruitless, he can only compromise." Zhong Hui said, "At that time Emperor Ren's empress gave birth to a son who was exchanged with the chosen tyrant, and Emperor Ren's own son was sent out of the palace, and the royal orphan is still alive today."

This is the biggest secret that Zhong Hui has found out these days.

"The orphan of the royal family is not only alive," Zhong Hui said, "but he is also alive and well. I'm afraid he is still plotting to rebel."

Therefore, the person in front of him is not the only one who wants to shake the foundation of Da Zhou.

Compared with the person in front of him who hasn't really started to do anything at this time, the royal orphan may have already started to make secret arrangements.

"Emperor Ren has selfish intentions. He is afraid that his parents and children will be killed. He will secretly find a way to hide the truth from those Dajing loyal ministers, and pass the power in his hands to the hands of his parents. But the king's power, soldiers, money, etc. are all things that can be seen on the face of the emperor. You see, if Emperor Ren wants to move, those important ministers under the orders of the emperor will find out, so the only things that Emperor Ren can move are private forces, soldiers and money." Zhong Hui paused for a moment when he said this. Laughing, "So, isn't there always a large amount of money missing?"

He was talking about the drug dealers who started a hundred years ago.

The drug dealers profited from the Dajing royal family, and the Dajing royal family also benefited from the drug dealers.

It's all about calculating each other.

"If I guessed correctly, the money, power and people behind those drug dealers should all belong to the orphan of the royal family." Zhong Hui said, "Your Majesty, now, you should understand why your Majesty asked me to investigate these royal families who were the same as the previous dynasty. Someone concerned!"

Ji Chongyan said "Yes", and said: "With the money accumulated for a hundred years, the power laid out for hundreds of years, and the soldiers and horses recruited by the previous dynasty, if you are capable enough, you can indeed win a game."

His Majesty was so anxious because he suddenly discovered that in this chess game called Jiangshan, someone has secretly accumulated the strength to sit on the opponent's seat and hold his hand against him.

"Your Majesty, do you think His Majesty has a better chance of winning this round, or the orphan of the former royal family?" Zhong Hui asked seriously.

Ji Chongyan glanced at him and shook his head: "I don't know."

This answer is really boring.Zhong Hui rubbed his nose in disappointment, paused, and said, "Compared to these two, the third person who has not entered the game right now—Shi Zi, you have the greatest chance of winning."

While speaking, Zhong Hui stretched out his hand, caught a fallen leaf floating down from his head, and sighed faintly: "The wind is going to blow!"

Ji Chongyan's eyes turned from the fallen leaves in Zhong Hui's hand to the girl looking at him from the side. Her eyes were as gentle and firm as ever, and she reached out and quietly took his hand, interlocking her fingers.

Zhong Hui said it well, the wind is going to blow!
But his heart was extremely peaceful.

Looking at the two people with their fingers intertwined, Zhong Hui touched his nose, and suddenly said sourly: "I really couldn't understand why people marry wives and have children. Why do two people have to live together under the same roof and sleep under the same bed?" Here, even human nature such as farting dare not let go, so as not to smoke the other party. Thinking about such a day is very difficult!"

"But right now, I suddenly feel that no matter whether you are happy or lost, no matter what you do, there is someone in this world who is willing to accompany you. That kind of feeling seems really good!"
