Prime Minister Zheng: “So, you don’t actually know the whole story?”
Express Piao was a little dissatisfied with his words that obviously sounded contemptuous, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that he was really right and he really didn't know.
At this moment, an ethereal female voice suddenly sounded: "He doesn't know, I know."
It's the woman in red.
She is very pretty, but Cheng Piao always gives people a lifeless feeling, and because she is burdened with karma, ordinary people will feel a special sense of discomfort when they get close to her.
Piao, the woman in red, seemed to know this too. She was not close to anyone, even a few meters away. She didn't care whether Qi Bao'er and Zheng Xiang paid attention to her, and continued talking:
"I know who got those alive and dead."
It turns out that the woman in red, whose name was Liniang during her lifetime, was the concubine of the head of the Hua Mansion, the largest household in the city more than a hundred years ago, and she was the favored one.
Liniang was a thin horse specially bred by others. She was not stunningly beautiful, but she knew how to please men. After being given to the Hua family, she was very favored by the Hua family.
The favored concubines were an eyesore to the first wife. After countless eye drops and frame-ups, coupled with the fact that the head of the Hua family could have one concubine, he would naturally have another one. Gradually, the head of the Hua family no longer set foot in Liniang's yard.
According to Liniang herself, specially trained thin horses like them are good at fighting in the inner courtyard of the back house, because if they guard against others and if they harm others, they are all basic courses. If she is not willing, Hua
Madam can't harm her at all.
It's just that she didn't want to live a life of serving only one person. She thought that the Hua family was such a big family, and as long as she stayed in peace and contentment, she wouldn't be able to tolerate a concubine.
But it just can’t be tolerated.
The friends of the Hua family learned that the Hua family had a thin horse specially bred from the south. In the past, when the Hua family loved Liniang, they didn't want to mention it. Now that the Hua family didn't care, they all started to think about it.
In this world, for many men, concubines are nothing more than a toy, a toy that they no longer care about, and they can just give it away.
Liniang didn't want to talk about what she went through, but it didn't stop Qi Baoer and Zheng Xiang from imagining it. In the end, Liniang couldn't bear the humiliation and pain, so she wore a red dress and cut her wrists with resentment.
She turned into a fierce ghost and took revenge on those who had harmed her and their descendants.
Even now, more than a hundred years have passed, and Liniang still occasionally goes to their descendants' homes to cause trouble. This is the only meaning of her existence.
Liniang is recognized in the city as the boss of the underworld. It's not that she is the strongest among all the people in the city, but that she is crazy, and the kind of madness that doesn't care about the consequences.
Even Piao, there is always a certain bottom line in everything he does. At the very least, he must preserve his own abilities, otherwise he will be considered a piece of shit and reincarnate in the underworld.
Therefore, for Liniang, who is so crazy that she doesn't care whether she will be wiped out in ashes, even Piao, who is stronger than her, will choose to retreat, and do not provoke him if he can, so as not to attract a madman endlessly.
And Liniang is very contradictory.
When she is cruel to others, she can retaliate endlessly against her enemies and her descendants who have nothing to do with her. She has a lot of karma and as long as there is thunder in the sky, there will be a trace of lightning hitting her;
But she usually helps some weak people or piao, yes, she also helps people. Like some people who are unfilial, she will give in to the dreamer for several nights in a row to scare the other person into being filial, like Mrs. Lin Piao
In this way, she will remind the other party what is the best way for her, and so on.
Therefore, in the underworld of Jingcheng, Liniang's reputation was very high [Piao Duo was the recipient of her kindness], and she was very responsive.
No, whether Liniang wants to know or not, there are very few things in Jingcheng that can be hidden from her ears.
Liniang said: "They are hiding in the mansion that used to be the Hua family in the east of the city. It looks like it has been abandoned from the outside, but they have renovated the place behind it and there are no less than a hundred people living there. Among them are
There are many Taoist priests."
Many of the Taoist priests are people with real abilities. Liniang is crazy, but she doesn't really want to kill the girl when she has nothing to do. Naturally, she will not rush in after sensing that she is in danger inside.
Besides, it has nothing to do with her, and there are no descendants of her enemies there.
So Liniang always knew something was wrong, but she never paid attention to it.
It wasn't until Express Piao came back that night and told her about life and death that Liniang thought of those people in Washington.
After struggling for a long time, she finally plucked up the courage to sneak in in the middle of the night, wanting to see if the life and death had something to do with the people inside.
This time, she really revealed the answer.
The Taoist priests she had seen inside had long since disappeared, leaving only a dozen ordinary people inside who seemed to be waiting for something.
Without the danger, Liniang became bolder and stayed in the mansion for a few days.
Just when Liniang was wondering if she was just being suspicious, in the middle of the night during the first two days of martial law imposed on Jingcheng by the government, a man in black entered the house.
Liniang stood aside and listened very clearly to the conversation between the man in black and the middle-aged man guarding the house.
Man in black: "The plan failed, the wrong person was ambushed, and the Xian Prince of the current dynasty was alarmed. The master ordered everyone to exit the Qilin Kingdom as quickly as possible."
Middle-aged man: "How, how did you alert Prince Xian?"
Man in black: "What nonsense, this is not what you should ask, just follow the master's orders; the court's immobility does not mean that Prince Xian will not move. Destroy the things underground as quickly as possible."
Go, if you don’t want to die, leave quickly.”
"Yes Yes."
He didn't say much, but the content revealed in his words was enough.
Prime Minister Zheng looked at Qi Baoer with a serious look: "Your Majesty Xian, it seems that it was indeed done by someone from another country."
He wanted to say, "Sure enough, it was King Suzaku and Phoenix who did it," but he changed his words to "other country".
He is the prime minister of the country, and such words without proof should never come out of his mouth.
Qi Baoer glanced at Zheng Xiang with a look that said, "I see you through." Before making him feel uncomfortable, he had already moved his eyes to look at Liniang.
She asked Liniang: "Do you know what they call the underground things?"
Mrs. Lin said that she could answer this question, and she didn't know what she was excited about, so she broke away from Liniang's hand and jumped out.
"I know, I know. I went there that night and scared those bad guys so much that they cried and howled all night long and ran away over the wall."
Qi Baoer: "..."
Prime Minister Zheng: "..."
So, what exactly do you know?
It's better to quickly find the half-drawn head and press it on. It's not hard for her to speak, but it's hard for them to listen.
Fortunately, there was still a safe one, and Courier Piao left Mrs. Lin behind again and told Qi Bao'er and the others what happened that night in detail.
