Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 465 Near Water Tower?

Xiao Huai did not neglect Shen Xi for long, when she found the apse in the evening, she was arranging the dowry brought from Shen's house.

"Have you taken your medicine?" He asked from behind, wrapping his arms around her waist.

The decoction he boiled can not only relieve fatigue, but also nourish.

After all, women have to suffer more than men in sexual affairs, not to mention that he is still a martial artist.

If you are impulsive, no matter how restrained you are, you will inevitably be rude.

"Eat." She turned around, "Is there any news from He Lan?"

"I haven't come back yet, not so fast." He led her out of the door and sat down on the railing, "Don't worry about Zhou Qian's changes.

"Right now, even if your identity is exposed, I am enough to protect you.

"Besides, I checked and found that the purpose of massacring the Helian people was not established when the country was established. It was a matter of Jianwen three years ago.

"Li Ding doesn't have any blood feud with the Helian people, so it's a bit strange for him to make this decree.

"However, because the Helian Dynasty ruled the Central Plains for a long time, once the Tuoba people won, the hatred increased on a whim.

"No one doubts that there is something wrong with this will, and no one has ever investigated the reason."

Shen Xi was a little surprised: "You mean, the first emperor made this decree because of other things?"

"This is my guess." Xiao Huai stroked her cheek lightly, "Maybe it's time to go to the palace to meet Zheng Xiu."

Zheng Xiu was the closest person to Li Ding, and after Li Ding died, this will was still carried out thoroughly in her hands.

Naturally, no one knows better about the palace affairs than her.

"The first emperor favored Zheng Xiu, and Zheng Xiu obeyed the decree. Could it be that this decree came from her?"

Shen Xi recalled that she was not very clear about the Queen Mother's past.

All he knew was that she was born as Li Ding's concubine, and later she assisted him when he conquered the world, and was loved for this reason, and finally had the capital to fight against Li Ding's wives and concubines.

As for the events before she became Li Ding's concubine, including how she became Li Ding's concubine, no one seemed to mention it.

"It's not impossible, but it's not like." Xiao Huai said, "She's not that capable of forming a blood feud with Noble Helian.

"Besides, the massacre of the Helian clan is inseparable from the Great Qin's destruction of the country. It's okay for Zheng Xiu to play with the struggle in the inner circle. How can she get involved in things like the destruction of the country?"

Shen Xi took it for granted.

But if neither Li Ding nor Zheng Xiu regarded Helian as an enemy, then how did this decree come about?

Is it Mrs. Bi?
What enmity does he have with the Daqin nobles?

He has no wife and children, could it be because his wife and children all died in the hands of the nobles of Daqin?Or, did he die in the hands of Prince An's Mansion?

So 51 years ago, Zhang Ying started planning to destroy the country?
It sounds reasonable, but 51 years ago, Bi Shangyun was as old as Zhang Ying.

For a man of sixteen or seventeen, it is possible to have a wife, and it is possible to have one or two children.

However, planning and deploying such a big event cannot be done in a short while. His reasons for planning to destroy the country for the sake of his wife and children are always a little weak.

Even if it was him, there must be other reasons.

She leaned sideways on the railing, frowning slightly.

Pearl came over: "My son, my concubine, someone from the Shen family sent a message, asking when will the chariot come to the mansion tomorrow? The mansion can also arrange to welcome you."

Shen Xi sat up and looked at Xiao Huai.

Xiao Huai thought about it for a while, and said: "It looks like the end of the day." He said softly to Shen Xi: "This way you can sleep longer."

Shen Xi suddenly understood what he meant, and slapped him on the arm.

Pearl smiled and said it was going down.

The matter of going to the palace to face the saint is still chosen half a month later when Xie En is due. Now that Zheng Xiu is under house arrest by Qi Rui, Xiao Huai can only see her through Qi Rui.

It's not difficult to meet, but it's not good if you do it too deliberately.

When they enter the palace, the Compassionate Ning Palace will have to show their faces, and they will check it out, which is also a matter of course.

The moon is still bright tonight.

Xiao Huai stayed with Shen Xi for a while, coaxed her to sleep, and then quietly left the palace.

He Lanzhun and his guards had been standing outside this Taoist temple in Xicheng for half an hour. Everything in the Taoist temple was as usual, and it was even quieter because of the nightfall.

"How is it?" Xiao Huai, who had also changed into his night clothes, came to his side as his sleeves moved slightly.

"Why are you here?" He Lan frowned.

"Can't sleep," he said.

He Lanzhun was a little speechless.

Glancing at him, he said: "There are only five people in the entire Taoist temple, an old Taoist priest, and he has been in this temple since the previous generation of Taoist priests.

"Several little Taoist priests are his disciples, the one the guards saw, 24, [-] years old, with a capital accent, lives in the southwestern ear room.

"The backyard of the Taoist temple is actually a miscellaneous room. Only one of them has some books piled up. One of the other two rooms is empty, and the other is filled with unused furniture."

Xiao Huai frowned: "If there is a tunnel in the backyard, then the old Taoists should know about it. Are you sure that this situation has not happened to other people?

"What's the situation around the Taoist temple?"

"No." The guard next to him came up, "Only the young Taoist priest named Yun Qing, this Yun Qing doesn't know martial arts.

"The east side of the Taoist temple is an alley, and there is a side door for daily access. The west side is a shop. The back side is a private house."

Xiao Huai pondered, then said to He Lanzhun: "Go in and have a look."

Here the guards left a group of ambush around, and then followed the two of them and jumped into the audience lightly.

This Taoist temple is truly small, so small that it is only as big as the courtyard of the third entrance.

Going straight to the backyard, Xiao Huai held his sword and summoned the guards from the news agency to investigate first, while he wandered around the yard and began to look around.

After a while, He Lan said earnestly, "Go in."

Entering the wing room on the left where the books are stored, the place where Yeming Pearl shines is in a mess, but surprisingly there is not much dust.

Under the north wall stood the guard who came in earlier: "Young master, there is a secret door here!"

As he spoke, he tapped lightly on the wall with his fingers, and sure enough there were several hollow sounds.

"Open!" He Lanzhun walked over first.

The guard took a few glances at the surrounding area, and lightly flipped a lock randomly placed on the top, and the wall was opened. There should be an alley or a street behind the wall, but after the door opened, a narrow corridor appeared. There was no way out again.

Xiao Huaixin touched a false window on the wall. The window was actually movable. When he pushed it open with some force, it turned out to be a house over there——

Originally, this was not too unusual. The houses in this area are crowded, and most of them are yard by yard.

But is this courtyard an ordinary courtyard?
There are red lights everywhere, colorful silk is hung on the corridor, leading to the courtyard gate on the other side, there is also a sign of private prostitution...

It's a prostitute!
"This is so interesting!" Xiao Huai murmured, holding his hands up, "Could it be that we are all thinking wrong, this door is only reserved by old Taoist priests for easy access?"

There are currently no three, four, five, six, seven, eighty, ninety changes, at least until the end of the ten days~
