Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 923
At dawn the next day, Pang Jiafen straightened her clothes and ran out of the bedroom.

Tong Qingqiu stood in front of the door all night, only hearing the continuous screams in the room, she knew that Pang Jiafen was suffering.

"Miss Pang, you have been wronged. Zhuo Jing has this temper. Now that the matter has been discussed, don't..."

Tong Qingqiu thought that Pang Jiafen had given up completely.

Pang Jiafen hurried out: "Officer, I'm going to see the princess, I won't be back at noon, I'll come back for dinner at night."

officials?

Have a meal?

While Tong Qingqiu was puzzled, Pang Jiafen had already left the mansion.

"What are you doing standing there, come in."

When Tong Qingqiu saw the main hall, he saw that his wife's cheeks were rosy and her complexion was very good.

"This girl is a good girl, let's marry her back home. Since it is a serious marriage, we can't lose the etiquette. Call relatives and friends, and set up a decent table."

Tong Qingqiu looked dazed, unable to understand what Madam was saying.

The madam thought for a while and said: "I think when I married you, I couldn't even afford a new dress. On the day of the wine display, I also had to wear a wedding dress seriously, and worship with you with her, which is considered cheap. , that night, the three of us will have a bridal chamber together, and we sisters will wait on you."

Tong Qingqiu stood where she was, still unable to understand what Madam was saying.

……

Pang Jiafen rushed all the way to Canglong Hall, and when she saw Liang Yuyao, before she could speak, Liang Yuyao picked up a ruler and hit Taozi.

"You bastard, you bastard! Where did you go last night? It's just that I don't fight much, so I'm no longer the pavilion master, but you're going crazy with me!"

Pang Jiafen hurriedly explained: "I went to Tong's house to beg for marriage!"

Liang Yuyao sounded even more annoyed: "I don't feel ashamed, a good girl, begging to be your concubine, you still have the face to tell me! Did Tong Jin agree?"

"accepted!"

"His family's tigress can accommodate you?"

"My sister personally agreed."

"Elder sister? Is this how you call elder sister?" Liang Yuyao threw the ruler and said with a sneer, "Since you are married, you don't bother to take care of the affairs of the Red Clothes Pavilion. I'm afraid it will be superfluous if I call you again."

"Your Highness, no matter where you are, the Red Clothes Pavilion is my home, and family matters are more important than anything else."

"If you have a conscience," Liang Yuyao sighed, "Last night, I discussed with Yunhou. There are only two candidates who can be the master of the Hongyi Pavilion in the future. One is Tao Huayuan..."

"She can't do it!" Pang Jiafen interrupted Liang Yuyao, Liang Yuyao was annoyed, picked up a ruler and hit her twice.

"You bastard, you're getting more and more unruly! Why don't you say Tao Huayuan can't do it?"

"Tao Huayuan turns out to be from our Hongyi Pavilion!"

"Isn't this just right? She also understands the rules of our Red Clothes Pavilion."

Pang Jiafen said in a low voice: "Your Highness, you forgot that we were going to hand Tao Huayuan over to the Supervisor of Rituals in order to put aside the relationship with the Onmyoji Division. She must not have forgotten this grudge.
You also know her character, she is a truly ruthless person, if she becomes the pavilion master, how can our sisters have a good life? "

Liang Yuyao nodded and said, "I remember this matter. Since she is not suitable, let's change someone. What do you think of Lin Qianniang?"

"Lin Qianniang?" Pang Jiafen smacked her lips and said, "She is gentler, but she doesn't even have a cultivation base. How can the sisters subdue her?"

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, which one do you say?"

Pang Jiafen thought for a while and said: "I think Yanru is pretty good, except for me, she has been with His Highness the longest time."

Liang Yuyao sneered and said, "Why don't you say that you are not bad?"

Pang Jiafen lowered her head and said, "I'm too irritable to be the pavilion master."

"Shi Yanru is not a delicate person, she is just like you, her cultivation base is not high, she doesn't have much scheming, and when she meets those ruthless people in the court, she is just waiting to be tricked."

Pang Jiafen was very dissatisfied: "Lin Qianniang has never stayed in Hongyi Pavilion for a day, so she can't take advantage of an outsider."

"Cheap?" Liang Yuyao smiled wryly, "It still has to be willing."

……

In the Marquis's mansion, Xu Zhiqiong was having wine with Lin Qianniang and Tao Huayuan. When Xu Zhiqiong talked about the Red Clothes Pavilion, Tao Huayuan laughed and said, "I don't want to go to that damn place in my life."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Then only Qianniang can go."

Qianniang's face showed embarrassment, she thought that she would go to the old soil to study the techniques in two days, but she really didn't have any interest in being the head of the Red Clothes Pavilion.

Tao Huayuan nodded and said: "This foxy girl is just right, and she is also a good match for that vicious woman in the Red Clothes Pavilion."

Lin Qianniang was silent for a moment, then suddenly revealed a charming smile, and said to Xu Zhiqiong, "I will do whatever Xu Lang asks me to do."

While speaking, she grabbed Xu Zhiqiong's hand and looked at Tao Huayuan in a blink of an eye.

Tao Huayuan just took half a sip of wine, and spat on the ground: "Woman who is not ashamed, do you know how to write the word shame?"

While speaking, a gust of wind suddenly rose in the yard.

Qianniang immediately grabbed the long sword at her waist, and Tao Huayuan smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? You can't do something wrong."

Seeing Xu Zhiqiong's indifferent expression, Qianniang also felt relieved.

The wind dissipated, and a figure appeared in the yard, with torn clothes, disheveled hair, and a lot of mud on his face.

Xu Zhiqiong hurriedly moved a chair and beckoned the man to sit down.

"Brother Han, why did you come in such a hurry?"

Han Chen is here.

After two cups of hot wine, Han Chen regained his composure, and said to Xu Zhiqiong, "Brother, you said that there is a gap in the piece of land that connects Daxuan and Qiancheng. I walked back and forth three times. , no gaps were found."

"There's no gap?" Xu Zhiqiong didn't quite believe it.

Han Chen brought two bowls and a pair of chopsticks: "To the west is Daxuan, to the east is Qiancheng, and this piece of land is connected in the middle. There is no gap!"

Han Chen's judgment will never be wrong, but since there is no gap, how can there be currents in the sea between the two countries?

Han Chen drank another cup of hot wine and said, "I've thought about this for a long time, and I've been floating on the sea for three whole days. There is indeed a current, and the current is very strong.
At first I couldn't figure out why, but now I do. "

He arranged the two bowls and put his chopsticks on the two bowls: "Brother, do you understand?"

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said, "What does this have to do with ocean currents?"

"Look carefully, this quick land is a bridge connecting Daxuan and Qiancheng. It is a bridge, not a barrier."

Xu Zhiqiong understood this time, the bridge is empty.

The land below is also empty!

"Brother, how did you think of it?"

"Just thinking about it may not be true," Han Chen took out a notebook and recounted what he had seen and heard in the old land of Dagan.

He searched very meticulously and entered many caves, but he never saw the ruins of famous masters.

It stands to reason that he shouldn't miss such an obvious cave.

Xu Zhiqiong suspected that the cave might be closed, maybe it could only be opened at a certain time, or maybe it could only be opened to certain people.

Han Chen pointed to the book and said, "I found more than 100 water sources on that land, and marked them all. Since the land below is empty, I don't know where the water comes from.

Also, there are barnacles everywhere on the island. These barnacles are not grown on the ground, they are all things in the sea. This piece of land was not formed suddenly. It should have been under the sea.
There is no way to guess like this. I am going back to the capital this time, because I want to bring more magic weapons for launching. I have to see the situation under the sea clearly. "

Xu Zhiqiong persuaded: "Brother, why take this risk?"

Tao Huayuan also persuaded: "Senior brother Han, you absolutely cannot go alone. Once you get to Haixia, you won't be able to use many spells. At least call a few more helpers in the Onmyoji Division."

Han Chen waved his hands and said, "This is my private matter, and I shouldn't cause others trouble."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Let's wait for me to deal with the affairs of the capital properly, and then follow Brother Han to find out."

"Can't wait!" Han Chen shook his head again and again, "I've broken my heart in the past two days. If I can't find out the truth, I can't live on. I'm just here to let you know, and I'll get the law in a while." device, and I'm leaving."

Everyone refused to listen to their persuasion, so Han Chen drank two more glasses of wine, and then set off. Before leaving, Han Chen said to Xu Zhiqiong: "Brother, I was at your door just now and saw a young man watching over there. I saw that he was fine." I don’t have any means, and I don’t have much cultivation, so I ignored him, if you think this person is an eyesore, I will send him on the road when I leave.”

Xu Zhiqiong said with a smile: "Forget it, he has been squatting at the door since last night, presumably he was ordered by the Ministry of Punishment to be a classmate anyway, let him go."

Han Chen left immediately. In order to save energy, he didn't use the magic circle and walked back to the Onmyoji Division.

Liu De'an, who was squatting at the door, saw Han Chen coming out, the corners of his mouth turned up, he smiled slightly, and hurried back to the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment.

After seeing Zou Shunda, Liu De'an told the story again, Zou Shunda nodded again and again: "Han Chen has an imperial mission, not in Yunzhou on business, ran back to the capital privately, and went to Xu Zhiqiong's mansion secretly, just this one thing, Neither Han Chen nor Xu Zhiqiong can escape their crimes, so hurry up and report this matter to Mr. Bao."

Zou Shunda took Liu De'an to look for Bao Jingzhong. When Bao Jingzhong heard that Han Chen had gone to the Marquis's Mansion, he yawned and said, "Han Chen and Xu Zhiqiong have a deep friendship, and it's not a big deal if they walk around occasionally."

Zou Shunda was stunned for a long time, suspecting that he hadn't made it clear.

"My lord, Han Chen took the emperor's messenger back to the capital to find Xu Zhiqiong. At a small scale, this is called leaving his post without authorization. At a serious level, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor."

Bao Jingzhong waved his hand and said: "Han Chen has a high level of cultivation. From Yunzhou to the capital, it only takes one meal. If you come back occasionally, you can't miss things. Why should we bother with him?"

Zou Shunda frowned and said, "My lord, let's search more crimes committed by Xu Zhiqiong and the people around him. This is the order of Canglong Palace!"

Bao Jingzhong yawned again: "The key point is that it's not a crime. Let's wait a few days until we find some clues. I'm sleepy and want to sleep for a while. You guys go first..."

Zou Shunda and Liu De'an walked out of Bao Jingzhong's study in a friendly manner.

Bao Jingzhong sighed and said: "These two fools are still thinking about revenge, and they don't look at themselves."

……

In the Canglong Hall, a personal servant came to Liang Yushen and said in a low voice: "Captain of the first palace, Liang Jixiong's head has been delivered to Daxuan."

Liang Yushen nodded and said, "Tell them, keep it safe first, and don't rush to use it right now."
