Chapter 365 Seeking Skin with a Tiger ([-] in [-])

While saying this kind of incomprehensible words, accompanied by a sound of "Boom!", these servants have already closed the door of the Eastern family.

"Ha ha……"

Zuo Yang turned around and stared at the vermilion lacquered door thoughtfully.

It seems that the Dongfang family has indeed encountered some troubles, and it is not a small trouble...

Based on the two key words "A companion is like a tiger" and "a person surnamed Zhu", it is not difficult to judge that ninety-nine percent of this trouble is related to the current royal family, because the background of this game is the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. , the emperor at that time was Zhu Di, who was called "Emperor Yongle" by later generations.

It's just that although he has obtained such an important clue right now, Zuo Yang knows that this is a good opportunity to sneak in, but he must pay attention to the method, otherwise he may be self-defeating if he is not careful... After all, at present So far, he still doesn't know where the [Hunyuan Casting Furnace] is hidden. He must find a way to establish a good relationship with the people of the Eastern family, and carefully find out the whereabouts of the treasure before proceeding to the next plan.

And he may only have one chance, otherwise, if he starts to scare the snake, the people of the Eastern family will immediately increase their vigilance, and it will be even more difficult to find other opportunities at that time.

So everything still needs to be considered in the long run.

Zuo Yang thinks that the best way is to find out what troubles the Dongfang Family has encountered through other channels, and then prescribe the right medicine to approach the Dongfang Family as a savior, so that we can get twice the result with half the effort... Fortunately, he is now in the In Yanjing City, it is much easier to inquire about news, and another identity is the leader of "Tianwaitian" related to the Eastern Family, which is a relatively favorable condition.

I thought so in my heart.

Zuo Yang was not in a hurry at this moment, he took another look at the gate of the Dongfang Family, and then took a big step and went straight to the "louwailou"...

……

The location of "Lou Wai Lou" is closer to the center of the imperial city than the Oriental Family, on a bustling street to the east of the Forbidden City.

There are countless restaurants, brothels, teahouses, and opera troupes on this street. Although he is new to Yanjing City, he still doesn't know the detailed layout of Yanjing City, but Zuo Yang can tell from the location and scale that this place should be regarded as the entertainment center of the entire Yanjing City. Whether it is a high-ranking official or a high-ranking scholar, as long as you have money in your arms and want to have fun, you can definitely go to this street.

Of course, such an entertainment center will naturally become a distribution center for important news in the entire imperial city, whether it is anecdotes in the imperial palace, rumors that cannot be verified in the market, or even if you are lucky and willing to spend money, you will find out about the recent relationship between the imperial court and the public. The major wind direction in the rivers and lakes is not difficult...

The building outside the building is crowded in such a street, and it is the tallest building on this street.

Of course, it is only compared with the buildings on this street, and compared with the Forbidden City, which is not too far from here, it is still a bit shorter... It is not that it cannot be repaired, but that it must be submitted to the imperial power. bow your head.

Passing through this street full of ambiguous fragrances and many temptations such as "Guest officer, let's play~" "Guest officer, we have a few new top cards here, please come inside~" and many other temptations, Zuo Yang finally Walked into the building outside the building.

"Guest officer, do you want to be a top player or stay in a hotel?"

The waiter, wearing a servant hat and a rag, came up to him with a smile on his face.

"..."

Zuo Yang ignored him, and went directly to the big counter on the right side of the gate, looked at an old man sitting inside who was "cracking" very skillfully with the copper abacus and quickly entered the account, raised his hand Tap it lightly with your nails a few times, making a "tuk-tuk-tuk" sound.

"Guest officer, what's the matter with you?"

Hearing the voice, the old man finally raised his eyes to look at him.

"How's the weather today?"

Zuo Yang smiled and asked.

The old man's eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly replied solemnly: "The weather is so sunny."

"Blooms are everywhere."

Zuo Yang accepted with a smile.

"Whoa!"

The old man immediately shook the abacus again, reset all the beads to zero, then stood up and looked around, and after finding nothing unusual, he made a gesture of invitation to Zuo Yang, "Guest officer, please come with me." .”

"Please."

Zuo Yang nodded slightly and followed behind.

The two of them came to the fourth floor of the "louwailou". There was an elegant room at the end of the corridor called "Colorful Cloud Room".

The old man brought Zuo Yang to the door of this private room, and after searching around for a while, he knocked lightly on the door, "Boom! Boom!", which is still unique to "Tianwaitian". This kind of rhythm with the nature of the code.

After a moment.

"Squeak!"

When the door opened, there was a pungent smell of alcohol, which made Zuo Yang frown slightly.

In addition, there is a familiar pretty face.

This person is none other than that weird little girl whom he has met several times in "Tianwaitian" and who asserts that her identity is definitely not simple.

"It's you?"

Zuo Yang couldn't help being taken aback.

He didn't expect that the little girl would arrive first, and he didn't understand that since the little girl was also coming, why didn't they just go together and meet up here?

"Come in and talk."

The little girl still had that cold look, she glared at him and said coldly.

"it is good."

Zuo Yang responded, and walked in directly, and then heard the door close behind him gently, and set up the bolt by the way.

Zuo Yang knew that the little girl was his own, so he didn't care about these small actions, but took this opportunity to observe the layout of the whole room.

This is a very high-standard guest room. When entering the door, there is a vertical screen, which is used as a "screen wall". After bypassing the screen, there is an extremely spacious living room...

"Huh? Is there anyone else?"

When he came to the living room, Zuo Yang knew how the pungent smell of alcohol came from.

I saw a mahogany carved Eight Immortals table in the center of the living room. The table was filled with leftovers and several large wine jars in a mess. There were also many wine jars on the ground. A few broken plates, food spilled on the floor and no one cleaned up.

In such an environment, a handsome-looking young man was lying on the table, with half of his face in close contact with half of a sweet and sour carp, and kept making "hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" man, sleeping soundly. With a deep voice, he babbled a few times from time to time...

"?"

Zuo Yang turned his head to look at the little girl, expressing that he didn't quite understand why there was such a bastard here, let alone why the little girl "opened a room" with such a bastard.

"He is Dongfang Lingshao, the fifth young master of the Dongfang family. Our entrustment this time is related to him."

The little girl introduced with a cold tone.

"I see."

Zuo Yang responded calmly on the surface, but in fact he was already overjoyed in his heart.

When he came here just now, he was still thinking about how to establish contact with the Eastern family, finally gain their trust, and find out the whereabouts of the [Hunyuan Foundry Furnace], but unexpectedly, Tianwaitian sent him to Yanjing City , is to solve the problem of the Eastern family, which is much simpler now.

This kid Murong Qing really didn't lie to him, so let him take credit for this first, and reward him when he has a chance later.

Thinking of this, Zuo Yang saw that the little girl had already found a chair and sat down, but she didn't seem to want to continue to say something to him, so he took the initiative to throw bricks and say: "Speaking of which, on the way I came just now, I happened to pass by the east. Seeing the Dongfang Family's mansion closed and empty, I felt a little strange, this desolate scene...does it have something to do with our entrustment this time?"

"You look carefully!"

The little girl rolled her eyes and reprimanded, "As the killer of Tianwaitian, you are now the leader. You need to know not to look at what you should not look at, and not to ask what you should not ask. This is the way for 'Tianwaitian' to survive .”

"Been taught a lesson."

Zuo Yang saw that throwing bricks to attract jade had no effect, and knew that her identity was not simple, so he pretended to lower his eyebrows and bowed his hands in thanks.

then.

The scene fell silent for a while.

In the whole room, only Dongfang Lingshao's snoring could be heard...

……

After a while like this, Dongfang Lingshao still had no intention of waking up.

"Hmph, you're really cute. Forget it. Before he wakes up and I'm bored, I'll introduce you to the content of this commission in advance, so as not to waste time."

The little girl seemed very satisfied with Zuo Yang's performance this time. Although she snorted coldly, she finally showed a stiff smile on her face, and said, "But before that, I must solemnly warn you that as a top-secret commission , what you hear next is of great importance, you must not spread even a single word, otherwise you will be more than just an enemy of 'Tianwaitian', no matter how big the Central Plains Wulin is, you will have no place to hide, listen understand?"

"Naturally understand."

Zuo Yang nodded, and then he suddenly realized that just now, he had gone through a big or small test. Sure enough, the girl's mind is the most difficult to guess, even the NPCs in the game are the same .

"Okay then, listen carefully."

The little girl organized her words a little, and finally said, "If you want to talk about the Eastern family, you have to start with the current emperor Zhu Di."

"Zhu Di is the fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He was named the King of Yan in the early years, and he was in Yanjing City for a generation. In order to prevent future generations from fighting for the throne, Zhu Yuanzhang established rules a long time ago. It can only be inherited by the eldest son, so Zhu Di does not have the life of the real dragon emperor."

"As a result, people are not as good as heaven. Before Zhu Yuanzhang died, his eldest son Zhu Biao had unfortunately died of illness. In desperation, Zhu Yuanzhang insisted on passing the throne to his eldest son and grandson in order to establish a formal rule for the succession of the throne. Zhu Yunwen, after the death of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yunwen became the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, with the title of 'Jianwen'."

"After Emperor Jianwen came to the throne, many vassal kings supported their own troops and acted illegally. The court was lonely, so they secretly implemented the policy of cutting vassals."

"The later king Zhu Di of Yan was threatened by cutting down his feudal vassals, so he raised troops in the name of 'Qing Emperor's side'. After three years of fierce fighting, Zhu Di finally captured Jinling City, the palace caught fire, and Emperor Jianwen disappeared. It is known as the 'Battle of Jingnan' in history. .”

"The original intention of the 'Qingjun side' was to eliminate the treacherous ministers around Emperor Jianwen, so that he could get the support of many supporters, but at this time, Zhu Di finally showed his true face, regardless of the repeated persuasion of his supporters, he insisted on going his own way Announced succession to the throne, but not from Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunqi, but from Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and the year name was changed to 'Yongle'."

"After that, Zhu Di began to wantonly falsify historical records, destroying all those records that contradicted his statements, and established the East Factory, West Factory and Jinyiwei to hunt and kill loyal and good people who dare to speak the truth. Trying to cover up the fact that the treason has usurped the throne!"

Speaking of this, the normally indifferent little girl was a little excited, and even clenched her fists, as if this matter had a lot to do with her.

"But, what do these things have to do with the Eastern Family?"

Zuo Yang saw the abnormality of the little girl, but he didn't bring it up, but continued to guide and ask.

After all, as a physiognomist, he often has to learn from history, so if he tells this period of history, it can be more detailed than what this little girl tells, so it doesn't matter if you don't listen.

"Before the 'Battle of Jingnan' happened, Dongfang City, the current patriarch of the Dongfang family, believed that Zhu Di was definitely not a thing in the pool, and after Zhu Di raised his troops, he immediately stood up to support Zhu Di's army. A large number of sharp weapons... After Zhu Di came to the throne, he was also rewarded by the court for his support and meritorious service, and until now, the Eastern family will provide unique sharp weapons for the generals stationed at the border."

The little girl said these words, but the expression on her face was very disdainful and disgusted, as if she didn't appreciate Dongfang City's actions, but...

It seems that's not quite the case.

If this little girl doesn't like Dongfang City's actions, why does she come to help the Dongfang Family... How can there be news that Tianwaitian is related to the Dongfang Family?
So, what kind of relationship is there between Tianwaitian and the Eastern Family?

"Since the Eastern family has such a close relationship with the imperial court, and lives in Yanjing City at the foot of the emperor, why does it still need our help from Tianwaitian? If there is any problem, it can be solved directly by the imperial court?"

Zuo Yang asked deliberately again.

"Hehe, maybe this should be called 'seeking skin with a tiger'?"

The little girl sneered even more disdainfully, and even showed a gloating expression on her face, and then continued, "The Oriental family's 'casting technique' is the best in the world, and the whereabouts of the weapons it produces are extremely strict. Many masters of the rivers and lakes who are attracted to their names and want their weapons spend thousands of dollars and can't get one. Zhu Di is ambitious and has long wanted to take the "casting technique" of the Eastern family as his own, so as to control The Central Plains Wulin!"

"So, what do you think?"
