Chapter 15 There is no Yan Shuangying, but there is a blessing.
The stairs are very wide, and each step is not very high. Although it is a bit dark, fortunately there are a few oil lamps hanging on the wall, which can provide some light, so it is not difficult to walk.
But because Chen Ziang was busy arranging some things, the originally not very long steps seemed to be endless.
"This place is very secret. Without the permission of Her Royal Highness, you would not have the right to come in."
"Understood, the secret headquarters is not a vegetable market, so you can't just come and leave as you please."
"Who told you this is the headquarters? What can you do if the headquarters is hidden?" Chen Zi'ang felt a little emotional about the young master's thinking. He only wanted to think of things in a conspiracy and sneaky way, which was not as upright and unrestrained as the poems he wrote.
.
"In the book..." Li Chongrun habitually wanted to blame the book, but suddenly remembered that the person in front of him was not his four-year-old cousin, but a doctor who educated the future pillars of the country in the Imperial College.
The books he had written were probably more than the toilet paper I had used in my two lifetimes. I could only temporarily change my words and said: "The organizations that are not mentioned in the books are naturally extremely confidential."
"It's not in the book, it's just because the person who wrote the book didn't know about it. If you have a chance in the future, you can write about it." Chen Ziang did not take Fengyiwei's confidentiality seriously, and his words seemed like a discussion.
It's like a regular yamen. And behind the words, there is even a sense of urgency to clear one's name.
"Then why is this place so secretive?"
"Because there is something hidden here that can easily make people crazy, something other than power." Chen Ziang didn't say it clearly, but he actually lied about it.
After turning the corner at the end of the steps, a hall suddenly appeared in front of Li Chongrun.
Several towering butter torches stood at the four corners of the hall, burning blazingly. A huge chandelier in the middle of the hall, with countless wicks hanging on it, was so bright that it caught people's eyes. It illuminated the hall deep underground.
Normal daytime.
Several patios stretched out to the ground from different directions, letting in some light and breeze, but the hall did not have a heavy pyrotechnics smell due to too many torches.
But a strong sweet fragrance lingered in it, and it was extremely thick and greasy.
There were many boxes and cabinets scattered in the corner of the hall. Looking at them from a distance under the light made Li Chongrun take a breath.
Money, a lot of money.
A whole box of copper coins, a shelf full of silks, and many calligraphy, paintings, silver, mirrors, and jade articles. In the farthest corner, a golden object reflected some golden light, vaguely like a dragon's chair.
"Rebellion, after all, requires a lot of money." Chen Zi'ang was also a little excited and spoke much faster. "Because many cases have not yet been concluded, it is not convenient for the seized evidence to be classified as internal funds. Originally, they were all kept in Lijing.
On the other side of the door, but something happened a few days ago, so a warehouse was built under the princess's mansion to store these items that are not convenient for people to see."
"Sir, in fact, apart from these things, beauties can also drive people crazy." Li Chongrun complained about Chen Zi'ang, almost muttering to himself.
After calming down for a while, Li Chongrun carefully looked at the furnishings in the hall.
Except for the surrounding objects, a large space was deliberately left open in the middle of the hall. A very ordinary table and chair combination was placed there facing south, and some papers, pens, letterheads and other things were very messy.
piled on top.
In the open space in front of the table and chairs, there are several boxes, but the lids are still closed, so you can't see what's inside. There is also a bed, with an unknown figure lying on it, a man wearing a green robe.
He was busy doing something in front of and behind the bed.
"I guess this is what the gentleman meant when he said he found it but didn't catch it." Only then did Li Chongrun understand the meaning of the riddle that Chen Ziang had just played.
"Yesterday Chen spent the night with the Hu man surnamed Kang, and finally blocked him in a riverside farm outside Shangdongmen. Unfortunately, the situation was a bit chaotic at the time, and the Sogdian man ran away in the end.
"
Perhaps because he felt that the big fish that had reached his mouth ran away, Chen Ziang almost had the word guilt written on his face.
"But fortunately, both the things and the person who received the goods were taken. I asked the person who received the goods overnight, and found this guy in Qinghua Fang this morning. However, the condition of this guy is very strange. It seems that someone has taken it away.
Like three souls and seven souls, only a body is left."
While they were talking, the two of them walked to the small bed. Li Chongrun looked at it intently, wondering who else it was if it wasn't Ituna.
"Pindao has met Dr. Chen. I wonder if this young master is..." The man who was busy in front of the bed heard the voice, turned around and found that it was Chen Ziang who had brought a child he didn't know, and asked Chen Ziang
He bowed and saluted.
"Master Li, you are very polite. This is the person mentioned by Her Royal Highness the Princess." Chen Ziang returned the courtesy and introduced to Li Chongrun: "Let me introduce to you, this is Daochang Li, the second son of Taishi Ling's family at that time.
Young Master is a well-known medical expert in Luoyang City. If you have any injuries in the future, just look for him."
"Student Li Chongrun has seen a real person." Most Taoist priests in the Tang Dynasty were well versed in medical skills, and many of them were the earliest chemists in China. Li Chongrun naturally understood this kind of thing. People who may save lives in the future naturally need to be respected.
"Young master, you are welcome. It turns out that you are the talented man who can withstand the thunder without being hurt as the princess said. I just ignored you, but I hope you will show your respect."
This Taoist priest's whole person gives people the impression of being very long. He is tall and thin, with a particularly long face and facial features. His eyes are a bit thin, and the long corners of his eyes seem to be always half-squinted.
When returning the gift to Li Chongrun, he made a weird gesture with his left hand, swinging it half a circle in front of his eyes as if pushing up his glasses. A faint divine light emanated from the eyes where his left hand brushed.
While he was getting up, he glanced up from below. He didn't know what he saw on Li Chongrun, and there was a hint of confusion in his expression. However, it was quickly covered up by the magic smile on his face.
Li Chongrun's attention was attracted by Itunaxian who was lying on the bed, and he did not notice the little movements of the Taoist priest.
Ituna's face turned blue first, and he lay motionless on the small wooden bed, with his lips showing a strange purple-red color.
If it weren't for the slow rise and fall of his chest and abdomen, Li Chongrun would have thought he was dead.
There is a little foam on the mouth and nose. It doesn't look like the traces were applied later, but more like vomiting.
Li Chongrun originally wanted to walk closer and take a look, but he only took a few steps closer to Ituna and felt that the sticky sweet scent became even stronger, making him want to sneeze.
Director Li, who had just said hello, returned to Itunaxian and started busy again. Li Chongrun looked over vaguely, as if he was giving him acupuncture.
"The Taoist Master is affected, can you open his eyelids and show me?" Li Chongrun vaguely remembered the propaganda video he had seen in his previous life, and vaguely guessed the key to the problem.
Daochang Li was about to apply acupuncture on an acupuncture point on his face. He didn't stop moving his hand after hearing the words. He just used the tip of the needle to pick somewhere on Ituna's face. Ituna's tightly closed eyelids slowly began to heal.
's opened.
"The Taoist master really has magical methods." Li Chongrun's words were really not flattering. Even if he had been born in two lifetimes, acupuncture was a very miraculous method in his opinion.
"It's just a small way, not as talented as the young master."
Li Chongrun looked at Itunaxian's eyes, only to find that the pupils were almost gone, leaving only the brown eyes.
But before Li Chongrun could tell the Taoist priest about his suspicions, Princess Taiping's lazy and wanton tone rang out from the steps.
"Zhenren Li, is there any progress on this dead man?"
"My subordinates have met Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping."
"It's okay, there's no need to salute. When you enter this room, everyone is a colleague, so there is no identity."
Today, Princess Taiping is wearing a traditional palace dress, with large peonies embroidered on the crimson skirt. A tassel-studded bow is inserted diagonally on her head, swaying gently with the movement.
With.
Her expression was different from the few times I had seen her before, and there was a hint of the childishness of a little daughter in her words, as if she were a young girl in her prime, making people want to get close to her when they saw her.
Princess Taiping glanced around and saw Li Chongrun hiding behind Chen Ziang, and her face showed some joy. "Oh, isn't this my eldest nephew? I heard that this dead man lying down wanted to default on the bill after losing a bet with you. My aunt is sorry.
I caught him for you. Are you happy?"
Li Chongrun felt that he was a little confused, and he couldn't tell whether the resentful, stern, majestic person in his memory and the charming Princess Taiping were real, or whether they were both fake?
But he never dared to express what he was thinking. Li Chongrun could only bow forward honestly, "My nephew has met Her Royal Highness."
"What's your name, Your Highness? If you go out a lot, just call me aunt."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"At such a young age, he is just like an old man, boring."
Although it was late autumn, Princess Taiping still held a round fan in her hand, with a vivid mandarin duck embroidered on it very finely. She fanned herself with the round fan slightly disgustedly, and Princess Taiping simply ignored Li Chongrun and went straight to Daozhang Li.
Walked over.
"Taoist Master, didn't you say you can make the dead speak? How about it? Has he spoken?"
Li Chongrun felt that this sentence sounded familiar, but he didn't know whether the Taoist priest would be named Song or Bao in his next life.
But judging from his fair complexion and long face, it is not impossible that his surname is Holmes.
"Reporting to Your Highness, Pindao has made some discoveries."
Princess Taiping's expression was very excited, and she kept urging: "Tell me about it, tell me about it."
