Strange Events of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 33 Xiaolan's Investigation

"Seeing that His Majesty and the ministers didn't care about what he said, His Majesty Wang immediately said that he was from the Loulan Kingdom in the Western Regions, and that Loulan died because of this curse..." Mencius said [-] Loulan died because of the curse.

Naturally, Ling Changfeng had already learned about this matter from the old servant, and what he knew was even more accurate than what Mencius said.Ling Changfeng thought to himself: It seems that what happened back then not only left a deep shadow in the heart of the general guarding Loulan, but also terrified the young Lord Wang to this day.

Xiaoyu, who was originally lying on the table, heard this story again at this moment, her hair stood on end, and she jumped deeply into Ling Changfeng's arms.It seemed that hearing this horrible curse again made it panic.

After catching Xiaoyu, Ling Changfeng smiled helplessly, and continued to ask: "So the emperor drove her out of the capital because of this?"

"Yes, the civil and military officials of the current dynasty not only did not believe his curse words, but also collectively impeached Mr. Wang under the guise of "If you are not of my race, your heart must be different". Although His Majesty agreed to this matter, but also Let the ministers forget about this matter. But how can there be an impenetrable wall in this world? It's just that Lord Wang was killed in Luoyang." Mencius sighed and said softly.

People often only believe what they want to believe, while ignoring what the truth is.Maybe only when they face the curse, will they remember what they have done.

Ling Changfeng looked solemnly, looked sideways at Fu Yin Xu, and asked slowly: "Where is Mr. Xu? When did you know about this?"

Under his sharp eyes, this handsome young man looks like a sharp knife to Xu Fu Yin. "It was only a month later that I found out about this matter. It's just that Mr. Wang was killed in my jurisdiction. It's really heartbreaking!" Xu Fu Yin said with a sad face.

Regardless of what he said was true or false, Ling Changfeng didn't ask, but just looked at the sky, guessing that Xiaolan should have finished investigating by now, and was already waiting for him, so he said: "Okay, there are already things I want to know. Answer. Do you two adults have anything else to ask? If not, I have to go back and rest."

Before the two of them could speak, Ling Changfeng stood up, carried Xiaoyu in his arms and walked outside the house.I am afraid that even if the two wanted to ask, he would not answer.

. . .

In the guest room, while holding Xiaoyu in her arms, Xiaolan told her young master about her investigation results.Speaking of key points, he also took out a wooden ruler, gestured to Ling Changfeng, and began to draw some dimensions of the carriage.

Finally, he took out the soil he had dug from under the locust tree and handed it to Ling Changfeng.

Of course, when talking about it, complaints about it are indispensable.Ling Changfeng hurriedly apologized, and said that as soon as she finished speaking, the two of them would go to the market outside to have a look at the market, so that Xiaolan could feast on the food to make up for the loss this morning.After Xiaolan heard this, she immediately said that next time there is such a job, she will go again next time.

After taking the soil under the locust tree, Ling Changfeng looked carefully, and after identifying it for a long time, Ling Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief and signaled Xiaolan to put the soil away.

"How about it, young master. Why do you want this soil? Could it be that there are some clues in it?" Xiaolan asked curiously.

Ling Changfeng nodded, and said in a low voice, "The soil feels the same as the one on Mr. Wang's feet that day. I'm afraid Mr. Wang went to the locust tree before his death."

"What?! Didn't Master Wang find out about the rosin?" Xiaolan exclaimed and called out.

Ling Changfeng nodded, and sighed in a low voice, "Master Wang probably knew about the mummified corpse, but he didn't expect that he was the one who was mummified."

After Xiaolan finished her investigation under the big locust tree, she then said: "Master, I went to the man's mansion as you ordered, but I didn't see any carriage of the same type. I'm afraid he wouldn't either." So stupid, put such an important item in your own mansion, right?"

Ling Changfeng laughed lightly, and said, "I'm afraid that some people are just being smart and say that the most dangerous place is the safest place. Apart from looking for the carriage, did you find anything else there?"

"Yes, I found that his house is really extravagant, he must be a corrupt official!" Xiaolan nodded affirmatively.

"Oh? Why are you so sure? Did you find the treasure house?" Ling Changfeng asked with interest.

"That's not true. The furnishings in the mansion are not considered luxurious. It's just that the weather is so muggy now. I saw that his house is not fanning, but using ice cubes to keep cool. If it wasn't for the fear of being discovered, I would definitely stay longer After a while, it will be really cool." Xiaolan, with a face full of aftertaste, shared her experience.

"Ice?" Frowning, Ling Changfeng always felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't think of anything strange for a while.He shook his head and continued, "Let's go, let's go shopping in the market. We've been busy for a few days, and now the truth is about to be revealed. You have to relax."

Hearing this, Xiaolan hurriedly hugged Xiaoyu and followed her young master to the outside.It seems that the past few days have really bored her.

The crowd in the market was still as large as before, and there was an endless stream of traffickers and pawns.From time to time, one or two blond and blue-eyed people will be seen. This is not unusual for most people in the Tang Dynasty. After all, they even serve as many officials.

Even after experiencing some twists and turns, the momentum of the Tang Dynasty is still so heroic, and the scene of all nations coming to court remains the same.It's just that the surroundings of this giant are also in danger.

Xiaolan and the two interspersed in the crowd, the handsome young girl attracted people's attention.Xiao Lan, who holds candied haws in one hand and a kebab in the other, also enjoys eating.

After waving the candied haws in her hand, Xiaolan chewed the skewers and asked softly, "Master, do you want to eat this candied haws? If you don't eat it, the candy on the outside will melt. It won't taste good later." .”

"Uh, you can eat first, I won't eat it for now... Wait, Xiaolan, what are you talking about? Melting... Uh, I see!" Ling Changfeng hugged Xiaoyu, stopped there, and kept talking. Whispering, just now, a thunder flashed in his mind.

"Master, what's the matter with you?" Xiaolan looked curiously at Ling Changfeng standing behind him, and asked in a low voice.

Ling Changfeng hurriedly smiled and said: "Xiaolan, thanks to you. I thought about how the jailer killed people. What a clever technique! Now my guess has finally been confirmed. Let's go, let's go shopping in the market .”

After speaking, he pulled Xiaolan forward with a smile on his face. Looking at her actions, the haze of many days must have finally been swept away.
