The sound of motorcycle bells gradually approached.
Shen Tang had already finished inquiring and trotted back, pretending to be mysterious: "Why don't Yuanliang ask me? Aren't you curious about that person's news?"
Qi Shan calmed down: "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 made special inquiries with the butchers and replied: "It should be 'Chu' for 'taking the clothes and crown', and 'Chu' for dressing up."
Hearing that it was Chu, Qishan'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 this question. He changed the subject and asked, "In addition to the surname, 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. It seemed that more than 30 slaves were sent to him at that time. There were originally more than 200 slaves, and at first they were going to get them. They were sold elsewhere, but the plague broke out along the way, and only about thirty of them died, so they had to be sold to the nearby Xiaocheng. Because they had been infected by the plague, the prices of these slaves were 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, but it was probably five years and a few months ago...Mr. Chu was bought by Yuehua House as a new addition, and he has been buying it until now. I I even 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, but tilted his head and said in a child-like tone: "Youli is not old enough to understand this yet."
Shen Tang: "..."
She gave an internal 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 wash dishes, wash dishes, deliver food and other chores. His job At your age, what else can you do?"
Qishan: "..."
He bet three cents, and Shen Xiaolangjun must have thought wrong.
in addition--
Qishan said in a calm tone: "This man 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 is reduced to 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, there should be no problem, but look What he’s wearing doesn’t look like him.”
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? Speaking of the surname 'Chu', it reminds me of an old case."
When Shen Tang heard this, his spirit of gossip 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.
"What old case?"
Qishan smiled and said: "This old case happened in the Xin State. Hundreds of countries in the world have marriages with each other. A few years ago, the Xin State was very powerful. The surrounding small countries followed suit and did not hesitate to offer their king's concubine to the Xin State's court. Among them, there was a The princess who became the concubine will be named 'Chu'."
"Oh, what next?"
Qi Shan continued to tell Shen Tang the story: "This Wang Ji from another country with the surname of Chu was favored by the leader of Xin State as soon as she entered Yeting of Xin State. 'Zheng Qiao had to avoid her sharp edges. It is said that this beloved concubine was well-read in poetry and books, and had a tolerant and kind personality. She soon became pregnant and 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. Soon after this, Zheng Qiao returned to the country and 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 should be some truth to the rumors in the market. Of course, it is also possible that Zheng Qiao used deception 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, he also played new tricks, making The female family members of King Xin came forward to surrender.
This is called "the blue is better than the blue".
Shen Tang guessed: "Yuan Liang means that Mr. Chu might be a member of the royal family of that small country?"
Qi Shan shook his head: "It's hard to say. It may be yes, it may not be."
In fact, the largest surname in the small country that was destroyed was "Chu". The scope was really too large, but there was definitely some grudge against Xin State, but I didn't know whether the other party had accepted its fate or had other plans.
Qi Shan slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, temporarily suppressing the complex 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 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".
Qishan took Shen Tang to a small house in a remote location. The owner of the courtyard was an elderly farmer couple. He rented two rooms with the old couple. As soon as the two appeared, the old woman came up to them with a smile and led Shen Tang to her room.
Although the house is small, it is well-equipped. Shen Tang's room is close to the courtyard. When you open the wooden door, you can see the courtyard in the courtyard.
