Keyboard Immortal Chapter 912: coincidence
I don't know how long it took, but the dazed Sang Qian suddenly woke up and felt dizzy. She broke out in a cold sweat and fell asleep in the coffin. If you accidentally suffocate to death, you will be unjustly killed.
She hurried to check Zaun's condition, only to look up to find him staring at her half-smiling.
Sang Qian blushed and asked quietly, "When did you wake up?"
Zuan replied, "I've been awake for a while."
Sang Qian glanced at him angrily: "Why didn't you wake me up?"
Zuan smiled: "Seeing that you are sleeping soundly, I can't bear it."
Sang Qian was flustered when she heard the words that she didn't want to give up. She thought a lot at that moment. In order to hide her embarrassment, she hurriedly changed the subject: "You are also big-hearted, and we are not afraid of suffocating to death when we sleep in the coffin. "
"Don't worry, I've already removed a seam." Zaun pointed to the top of his head, and sure enough there was a hint of light there, although it wasn't obvious, it was definitely enough to breathe.
Then he woke up and kept looking at me?
Sang Qian was a little dizzy and didn't dare to think carefully: "How is it going outside?"
Zuan also put away his joking smile: "The guards outside have also withdrawn, and the ones who are left are also dozing off. There are only a few maids left in the room, and the other maids are sleeping. Now, only the maid named Qiuyue is still burning paper in front of the coffin."
Sang Qian was shocked. Wasn't it easy to hear the two of them talking in front of the coffin?
As if seeing her worry, Zaan comforted: "Don't worry, she's not a practitioner."
Sang Qian breathed a sigh of relief, only then did she feel that she was still snuggling in each other's arms, and the two of them could even feel the breath of each other when they spoke.
Although she has dabbled in knowledge from all walks of life in order to make more comprehensive decisions in recent years, she even knows a little about such unpopular jobs, but she is really a blank sheet of paper when it comes to men and women, with a little experience nothing.
Feeling the masculine breath of the men around her, she felt a little weak all over, and she couldn't even think normally.
Fortunately, the voice of the maid named Qiuyue came from outside at this time: "Niangniang, this is the end of the matter, you can go at ease. I really can't blame me for what happened that day, and I don't know what will happen later... …”
The other party deliberately lowered his voice. If the two were not close enough, and they were practitioners, they would not be able to hear at all.
Sang Qian looked shocked and hurriedly looked at Zuan: "It seems that the death of King Qi's side concubine really has a hidden meaning, and this maid is also an insider."
Zuan nodded, he knew that for a long time.
When he asked the maids before, he noticed that this Qiuyue was too calm.
You must know that Concubine Side, as her master, can be described as a relationship of prosperity and loss. As a result, after Concubine Side's death, she did not have much grief. She heard herself asking King Qi if Concubine Side was there. It might have been homicide, and she immediately denied it.
According to common sense, if something like this happened to the master, shouldn't the confidant servant immediately suspect that there is a problem and respond to others, or even ask someone to investigate the truth or something?
Worrying about misunderstanding the other party, he also deliberately asked how King Qi's side concubine treated her on weekdays, but it was even more unreasonable to treat her like a sister, so he knew at the time that there was something wrong with this maid, but he just didn't speak up .
Zuan listened to the maid chanting for a long time, but didn't say any useful information, and he couldn't wait any longer, and pushed the coffin away.
Aware of the sound of the coffin, Qiuyue raised her head suspiciously, and saw that the lid of the coffin was opened, and her whole body was suddenly filled with spirits. understood.
Zuan didn't stop after he came out, and his body turned into a lightning bolt, instantly hitting the sleeping maids not far away, making them fall asleep completely.
At this time, Sang Qian crawled out of the coffin with a worried look on her face: "You made such a big noise, how will it end later?"
Zuan pressed her shoulders: "Don't rush out."
Sang Qian: "???"
Won't I come out and lie in the coffin?
As if seeing her doubts, Zaun nodded and said, "Yes, you will continue to lie in the coffin."
After saying that, she threw a dress to her: "You put this dress on in the coffin."
Sang Qian originally wanted to ask about the matter lying in the coffin, but was attracted by the dress in her hand. The material is smooth and soft, and it looks like a very expensive silk, and the style is also very elegant and luxurious. Very nice dress.
But that's not the point!
She immediately reacted: "What kind of skirt is this? Why should I change it?"
If it wasn't for the two of them getting along for a while, she would have some doubts that the other party was taking this opportunity to make her undress with bad intentions.
Zuan replied, "That's the clothes of King Qi's concubine."
Sang Qian: "..."
Although I'm not afraid of dead bodies, but you let me sleep in her coffin and change her clothes, no matter how you think about it, I feel terrified.
"I mainly need you to pretend to be the concubine of King Qi and use the words of this maid." Zuan explained, in fact, it is not impossible for Daji to do this, but firstly he did not want to expose his cards to too many people, and secondly Come here to Prince Qi's mansion is heavily guarded, and if Daji uses his skills to produce any fluctuation of vitality that alarms the people of Prince Qi's mansion, it will be troublesome.
"Why do you have the clothes of King Qi's side concubine?" Sang Qian widened her eyes and looked at him with a suspicious look.
"I hid it during the daytime inspection." Zaun looked at "Pin Ru's Wardrobe" beside him, and when he just came out of the coffin, he placed the wardrobe in the corner.
"Qiuyue is the side concubine's personal maid, and she knows her master very well. Can she really deceive her?" Sang Qian was skeptical, the other party was afraid that she really just wanted to see her change her clothes?
"She has a guilty conscience, and since today is the first seven nights, she must be scared out of her mind when she sees you coming out of the coffin, so she dares to stare at you carefully to tell the difference." Zaan Instead of telling her the role of Pinru's wardrobe, she explained it in a way she could understand.
Sang Qian nodded, this is indeed hopeful.
"Then turn around and don't peek!" Sang Qian was also very depressed. He really got on his pirate ship tonight. He brought me here on purpose. I guess he had this idea from the beginning.
When she was ready, Zaan hid in the corner and released Qiuyue's acupuncture point with a flick of her finger.
When she woke up slowly, she felt an inexplicable coldness around her. A gust of cold wind blew through, and the candle in the mourning hall flickered. She couldn't help rubbing her arms, trying to add some warmth to herself.
"Autumn Moon~"
At this moment, an ethereal voice suddenly came from the mourning hall.
Qiuyue's eyes widened: "???"
She looked around, but couldn't see anything, and hurriedly pushed her companion not far away: "Did you hear anything?"
It's a pity that those companions slept like dead pigs and couldn't wake up no matter how much they pushed.
"Autumn Moon~"
The gloomy shout came again, and Qiuyue grew even more hairy, and hurriedly kowtowed to the surrounding air: "Is that you, Empress, today is the night of Huihun, you eat and drink well, and go all the way."
It was a woman's voice. Although it didn't look like the concubine's concubine's voice, at this time, her heart was broken, and she had no time to distinguish, not to mention that the empress had become a ghost, and it was normal for her voice to change.
At this moment, there was a clicking sound in the coffin, and she jumped in her heart, raised her head in horror, and saw that the coffin lid in the center was slowly pushed open.
"The concubine side..." Qiuyue only felt that her scalp was about to explode. She wanted to open her mouth to shout, but it was difficult to make too much noise when her mouth was open. , Crawled for a long time without moving much.
Zuan, who was hiding in the dark, smiled. I didn't expect her to be so frightened. It seemed that I didn't need to take action.
The coffin lid was pushed halfway and finally stopped, Qiuyue glanced up in fear, only to see a woman slowly sitting up from the coffin.
The other party is wearing the favorite clothes in front of the princess. Although her hair is disheveled, she can't really see her face, but as the concubine's personal maid, how can she not recognize her.
"I died so miserably..." The woman slowly climbed out of the coffin and approached Qiuyue step by step.
Zuan almost laughed out loud, Sang Qian's acting skills are really good, I didn't even teach her how to act, but she didn't know how to act, and she deliberately scattered her hair to cover her face. Who doesn't love your teammates?
Actually, she doesn't need to cover her face, because now under the influence of Pinru's wardrobe, she is the concubine in Qiuyue's eyes.
"Niangniang, it has nothing to do with me, it has nothing to do with me." Qiuyue desperately wanted to move back, but she was so frightened that she moved a few feet away after a long time. She could only keep kowtowing and crying. Flowed all over the place.
Sang Qian is also a little surprised. Why is this guy so scared? Is my acting so good?
However, she responded quickly, and immediately took the opportunity to say: "It was you who killed me."
"It wasn't me. When I notified King Qi, I didn't know he would kill you. Goddess spare your life, Goddess spare your life!" Qiuyue hurriedly cried and defended.
Zuan and Sang Qian were surprised, but they never expected the murderer to be King Qi!
No need for Zaan's reminder, Sang Qian immediately pursued why King Qi killed herself.
In Qiuyue's stammering remarks, the two finally understood what happened that day. It turned out that on the day of the incident, King Qi's side concubine was well dressed. It seemed that because he hadn't seen King Qi for too long, he wanted to find him. I didn't take anyone with me when I was there.
As a result, the maid accidentally bumped into King Qi in the yard, so she happily told her niece to find him. At that time, King Qi's face was a little strange, and she left in a hurry.
In the end, I didn't expect that something happened to the concubine that night. She was terrified, but she grew up in the environment of the palace, and she also had a delicate heart. Vice didn't know, that's how he lived until now.
What she is most worried about now is that besides the concubine's return to claim her life, she is worried about King Qi's silence, but King Qi has not acted these days, which makes her feel a lot more at ease.
Zuan stunned Qiuyue and said in a deep voice, "A side concubine has just died. If her maid dies soon, no one will doubt it, so King Qi probably intends to kill her after the limelight has passed. ."
Sang Qian also nodded: "But from her words, we can't judge why King Qi killed the concubine. As far as I know, the concubine is young and beautiful. , has always been favored by King Qi, why did you kill her for no reason?"
Zuan recalled that the appearance of the woman in the coffin just now was indeed very beautiful, at least much better than that of Qi Wang Zhengfei, and she was still younger.
He looked very strange: "Could it be that the concubine is secretly stealing people?"
After much deliberation, I'm afraid that's the only reason why a man who favors her can be brutally murdered.
"This is indeed the greatest possibility," Sang Qian blushed slightly, "but who has eaten the courage of an ambitious leopard and dared to touch the woman of King Qi?"
Zuan's expression is also a little unnatural, thinking that I also touched the emperor's woman, what is this?
He looked up and looked outside: "It's almost dawn, we'd better go out first."
Sang Qian nodded, knowing that this place is definitely not a place to stay for a long time. Seeing Zaan carrying Qiuyue on her shoulders, she couldn't help but stunned: "What are you doing?"
Zuan replied: "This is the most critical witness. If you stay here, you will be silenced by King Qi at any time. It's better to take it away."
Sang Qian hesitated: "But the evidence alone may not be useful."
She looked at the coffin on the side: "It's better to take away the body of the concubine, so as to be convicted."
Zuan shook his head: "It doesn't matter if you are a maid. Stealing the body of the princess is a serious crime. If you can't be convicted, I can't afford to blame King Qi. It's just a case, there's no need to put yourself in it."
Sang Qian was a little suspicious: "Why do I feel more like you don't want to convict King Qi?"
"You think too much, let's go." Zaan smiled, but his heart was stunned, this woman is too much
Be smart, I really don't want to make this case an ironclad case. If there is no one to check and balance the emperor, I will be more troublesome.
Of course, these thoughts cannot be shared with the Sang family. Although they keep saying that they have formed an alliance with them, after all, they were famous royalists in the past. Who knows what they think.
With the experience just now, and the fact that it is the deepest time for people to sleep, they left the Qi Palace smoothly all the way.
"Where are you going to put her?" Sang Qian glanced at Qiuyue on Zaan's shoulder and asked curiously.
Zuan didn't answer, just looked at her with a grin.
Sang Qian's face changed: "You want to let us go, no, absolutely not!"
Zuan said: "You know how many people are watching my mansion right now. If I bring it back, I will be found soon. I have no other place. I can only ask you for help after thinking about it. We are not Allies?"
Sang Qian refused: "There are many people around our house who are stalking."
Zuan said with a smile: "That was before, now the emperor has made Lingzun guilty and made meritorious deeds and appointed him as the Minister of the Duzhi, and the people around him have already withdrawn, sister Qian'er, do me a favor, next time my brother will give him You eat a lollipop."
Du Zhi Shangshu manages the statistics and branch adjustment of national wealth, and is called the Five Cao Shangshu together with Libu, Sangong, Kecao, Jiabu, and Tuntian.
The functions of the Five Cao Shangshu of the Great Zhou Dynasty are very similar to those of the six Shangshu in the previous life history, but the authority is much smaller. They are the most busy and trivial departments of the Shangshu Province, and they are located under the Shangshu Ling and the left and right servants.
For example, Yu Xuanchong, the head of the Yu family, and Bi Linglong's father, Bi Qi, are their immediate bosses.
"Don't try to buy me with a lollipop!" Sang Qian's face turned blue and then red, but after all, she couldn't hold back his soft and hard bubbles, "I declare in advance, it's only this time, it's not an example, I really got on you today. Dangdang."
Zuan laughed and put a hand on her shoulder: "Thank you, Sister Qian'er."
The two had just been so close in the coffin, and she gradually got used to each other's contact, plus she had been thinking about how to deal with this maid, and she didn't realize anything for a while.
Back at Sang's house, the two of them didn't dare to disturb their servants. They secretly sneaked in from the backyard for fear of revealing the secret.
Who knows that not long after entering, a light drink suddenly came from the side: "Who?"
Then a bright sword stabbed out from the side, and at the critical moment, Zaan hurriedly reached out and clamped the tip of the sword.
"Azu?" The other's voice turned to surprise.
The two looked back and saw that the beautiful woman in front of them was not Zheng Dan.
"Have you not slept yet?" Zu An wanted to almost capsize in the gutter. Before, he was fine in the heavily guarded Prince Qi's mansion, but he was discovered when he came here. After all, they both returned to Sang's house and subconsciously relaxed. alert.
"I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep. Suddenly I heard a movement outside and thought it was a burglar." Zheng Dan put away his weapons and smiled shyly. She used to be the leader of a gang, and her vigilance was comparable to that of ordinary people. It is a lot taller, and some gadgets on the rivers and lakes are arranged around, so they were found when they passed by.
She was very happy when she saw Zaan, she thought that the other party was looking for her, but she immediately saw Sang Qian beside him, her eyes fell on Zaan's hand on her shoulder, and her expression was very strange for a while : "You..."
Sang Qian finally came back to her senses and pushed Zaan's hand away: "We just went out to investigate the case and came back."
"I checked the case, and I changed my clothes." Zheng Dan said with a half-smiling smile.
Sang Qian was suddenly very embarrassed. It was clear that the two of them were innocent, but why did she listen to what she said, it seemed that she really had something with Zaan?
She is usually eloquent, but at this time, she was a little confused when facing her sister-in-law, and hurriedly pushed Zaan: "You speak quickly."
Only then did Zu An say: "We did indeed go to the Qi Wang Mansion to investigate the case. This is a maid brought back from the Wang Mansion."
Zheng Dan was taken aback: "Come in, don't be seen."
After entering the house and smelling the faint tea fragrance in the house, Sang Qian had to admit that her sister-in-law is really a classical and elegant beauty, and her temperament in this aspect often makes her envious.
Zuan briefly recounted what had just happened, and Zheng Dan sighed repeatedly: "You guys are so courageous. Once you are discovered by the people of the Qi palace, you will be in trouble."
"Don't worry, she'll only be here for one night, and I'll take her away after tomorrow," Zaun replied.
Sang Qian was a little wary: "Do you want to stay here?"
Zuan stood up to say goodbye: "Don't dare to bother, I'll come back tomorrow."
It's no wonder that the other party is vigilant. Now that there are no males in the Sang Mansion, it is really inconvenient to keep guests.
Sang Qian breathed a sigh of relief, but was a little embarrassed: "Be careful on the road, I'll settle this girl first."
After Zaan left, she said goodbye to her beautiful sister-in-law, hid the maid and returned to the house.
Thinking that she had just been lying in the coffin for so long, and she was wearing the clothes of a dead person, she hurriedly called the woman in the house to prepare hot water, and she wanted to bathe and change her clothes.
The old woman smiled and said, "It's a coincidence today, both the young lady and the young grandma have to take a bath in the middle of the night."
Sang Qian was startled: "sister-in-law also want to wash?"
She didn't stay with the dead in the coffin, so why should she be washed?
"Yes, she told me to prepare hot water not long ago." The old woman answered and went to do her own work.
Sang Qian's face changed a bit. She suddenly remembered that her sister-in-law was wearing only pajamas just now, but everyone had been talking about things together for so long, but she didn't have the slightest uncomfortable expression in front of Zuan, as if she was used to being in front of him. Dressed like this, she felt a little irritable in her heart.
"Could it be..." Looking at the direction of Zheng Dan's room, Sang Qian clenched the sword in her hand and walked over with a sullen face.
That bastard, when our Sang family is empty?
