The sound of motorcycle bells gradually approached.
Shen Tang trotted back after asking, pretending to be mysterious: "Why didn't Yuanliang ask me? Aren't you curious about that person's news?"
Qishan could hold his breath and said the hard-fisted words calmly: "Youli is not a person who can hold back his words."
Shen Tang: "..."
Everyday I want to jump up and perform a craniotomy on Qi Shan.
"It's really rare to be able to live such a long life safely with such a mouth." Shen Tang teased and complained, but Qi Shan didn't even frown. She could only say, "According to the butcher in the butcher shop, that old gentleman is still nearby. A 'celebrity' in the area, whose surname is 'Chu'."
Qishan asked: "Which word is it?"
There are not many surnames with the same sound.
Shen Tang and the butchers made special inquiries and replied: "It should be 'Chu' which means 'take the clothes and wear them', and dress them up as 'Chu'."
Hearing that it was Chu, Qi Shan's brows wrinkled imperceptibly, but Shen Tang was two steps behind him and didn't notice.
"Chu...this surname is rare in both Xin and Geng countries."
Shen Tang asked: "Which country is it more common?"
Qi Shan shook his head and avoided talking about the question. He changed the subject and asked, "In addition to the last name, did you find out anything else?"
Shen Tang said: "The butcher also said that Mr. Chu was a slave who was sent to the market to be sold at a low price five years ago. At that time, more than 30 slaves were sent. He also heard that there were originally more than 200 slaves, and he was going to pull them. Those who were sold elsewhere were only caught by the plague on the way, and only a few died, so they had to be sold to the nearby Xiaocheng. Because they had been infected by the plague, the price of slaves was very cheap..."
Qishan asked: "Five years ago? Are you sure it was this time?"
Shen Tang recalled the butcher's words carefully: "The butcher doesn't remember clearly, it could be more than five years or a few months...Mr. Chu was packaged and bought by Yuehua Building as a new addition to the family. Until now. I still I made a special trip to find out what Yuehua Tower is..."
Before he finished speaking, Qi Shan said: "This is the Elephant Aunt Hall."
Shen Tang paused, looked at Qi Shan's back with strange eyes, and muttered: "How do you know so clearly?"
Where is the Elephant House?
A place where both men and women can go and have fun.
Qi Shan did not answer directly. He tilted his head and said in a child-like tone: "Youli is not old enough to understand this yet."
Shen Tang: "..."
She mentally raised her middle finger.
Your sister and I have grown up eight hundred years earlier, thank you!
Qishan: "What is this gentleman doing in Yuehua Building?"
Shen Tang said with a puzzled look on his face: "He must be working as a handyman in the kitchen. Mr. Chu is old and has no strength, so he can't do heavy work. He can only help with washing dishes, washing dishes, delivering food and other chores. What he does At your age, what else can you do?"
Qishan: "..."
He bet three pennies, and Shen Xiaolangjun must have missed it.
in addition--
Qi Shan said in a calm tone: "This person is a bit weird and has many contradictions. I can tell from talking to him before that his attainments in literary, spiritual, literary and spiritual matters are not low, at least not inferior to mine. This Xiaocheng It’s really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, it’s very interesting.”
Shen Tang was surprised: "Not under you?"
"Perhaps, it's still above this."
Shen Tang was confused: "With this talent, even if he falls into the miserable state of being bought back by the Elephant House, he won't have to do so many chores in the kitchen, right? If he wants to live a better life, it shouldn't be difficult, but It doesn’t look like what he’s wearing.”
Even if he is a slave, he is still a slave with special skills.
Qi Shan narrowed his eyes and sneered.
"Who knows what he thinks? However, talking about the surname 'Chu' reminds me of an old case."
When Shen Tang heard this, his gossip soul was awakened and he immediately became energetic - according to the usual routine, the so-called "old cases" are probably inextricably related to Mr. Chu.
Even if he is not the person involved, he is still a relative of the person involved.
These are all tricks!
"What old case?"
Qishan smiled and said: "Hundreds of countries in the world have marriages with each other, and in-laws are everywhere. A few years ago, the country of Xin was very powerful, and the surrounding small countries followed suit and did not hesitate to dedicate their kings to the court of Xin. One of them became a concubine. The surname is 'Chu'."
"Oh, what happens next?"
Qishan continued to tell Shen Tang the story: "This Wang Ji from another country with the surname of Chu was favored by the leader of the Xin State as soon as she entered the Xin State's Yeting. 'Zheng Qiao had to avoid her sharp edges. It is said that this beloved concubine was well-read in poetry and books, and was tolerant and kind. Not long after, she became pregnant, and she had great potential to enter the middle palace. As a result, she had a miscarriage in the fifth month of pregnancy and died suddenly and mysteriously."
Shen Tang listened carefully to every word, for fear of missing the point.
"I bet it's not that simple behind this."
Qi Shan nodded and said: "Of course it's not that simple. Rumors abounded in the market. Some said that Chong Ji and the guards were discovered by the king, and there were also rumors that the fetus in Chong Ji's belly was actually Zheng Qiao's. And not long after that, Zheng Qiao returned country, the Xin State sent troops to destroy Chong Ji’s homeland. It is said that when the country was destroyed, the leader of the Xin State secretly ordered the massacre of the city and tormented the princes of that small country... Judging from the attitude of the leader of the Xin State, I guess there are some rumors in the market. True. Of course, it is also possible that Zheng Qiao used deceit to murder and frame this beloved concubine in order to return home smoothly."
Shen Tang: "..."
Is this the legendary "turn of fortune"?
Xin Guo also did things to destroy the country and massacre the city, tormenting the royal family and not giving any dignity to the prisoners of war. Now it is Zheng Qiao's turn to kill Xin Guo. Not only did he copy Xin Guo's previous tricks, but he also played new tricks, making the The royal concubine of the Xin Kingdom surrendered naked.
This is called "the blue is better than the blue".
Shen Tang guessed: "Yuan Liang means that Mr. Chu may be a member of the royal family of that small country?"
"It's hard to say. It may be the case, or it may not be." The largest surname in the small country that was destroyed was "Chu". The scope was too large and the identity was difficult to determine, but he definitely had a grudge against Xin Guo.
Qi Shan slowly exhaled a breath and temporarily suppressed the complicated emotions rolling in his chest: "Let's not talk about this for now, Mr. Shen Xiaolang. Let's go to the hotel to settle down first, and we will do the rest slowly."
The next period of time will be spent in Xiaocheng.
Shen Tang shrugged indifferently: "Everything depends on Yuan Liang."
If you are not familiar with the place, you can only rely on this "guiding NPC".
Qi Shan took Shen Tang to a small house in a remote location.
Although the house is small, it is well-equipped, and the exquisite thoughts of the owner are everywhere revealed. The owners of the house are an elderly farm couple, who look about fifty years old. As soon as the two appeared, the old woman came up to them with a smile. Lead Shen Tang to her room.
The room is close to the courtyard. When you open the wooden door, you can see the courtyard in the courtyard. Qishan lives next door. After the old couple left, she asked: "Does Yuan Liang know these two people?"
The old couple communicated with Qi Shan with a familiarity, as if they were old acquaintances.
Qishan said: "We have known each other for five or six years..."
Shen Tang raised his eyebrows.
I wonder if she is suspicious and cares about "five or six years" for no reason.
