Sanlang was right in what he said. Those who come out to serve people today are not kiln sisters at all, but specially trained people.
Based on his many years of experience, he looked at women from a man's perspective and discovered that these women were not ordinary women.
But Lin Yutong looked at other aspects. For example, neither of the two women had long nails or pierced ears. For women in Fengyue places, this was not normal.
When she went up, she didn't smell anything, but when she came down, there was a faint smell of roasted lamb in the corridor.
In such an elegant place, with no other customers except myself and Saburo, how could there be the smell of food? Even if there is, it shouldn't be the smell of mutton that is incompatible with the environment. People who go out on a date will definitely pay attention to the smell of food.
, it’s the same reason that you won’t eat leeks, garlic and other strong-smelling things when you eat. Besides, the food is provided by Huiwen Pavilion. How could such a disgraceful thing be displayed? It’s still on the third floor.
She came downstairs and smelled it on both the second and first floors. There was no such smell at all.
But now, it's not the first lunar month, it's freezing cold, and the windows in the building are all closed tightly, so it's impossible for it to come in from outside.
Therefore, there must be someone living on these three floors, a man. And he is also an informal man.
When eating meat, you cannot live without meat, and it is mutton.
In addition, it was the territory of King Zhao.
Therefore, Lin Yutong further delineated the scope, and there was a 60-70% chance that this person was from the northwest.
The only thing to do now is to confirm your guess. Then take a look, who is this person?
Lin Yutong told Hei Qi: "Keep an eye on Huiwen Pavilion carefully, and don't startle the snake."
Hei Qi responded: "Madam, from now on, you'd better not take risks."
Lin Yutong waved his hand, "No problem." After saying that, he whispered: "Do you have a way to sneak into the palace?"
Hei Qi nodded, "As a human being, you can come and go as you please."
"I mean, are you bringing someone with you?" Lin Yutong asked again.
"Who to take?" Hei Qi frowned and said, "As long as it's not a familiar face, it's fine."
Lin Yutong nodded, "What do you think about taking me in?"
Hei Qi knelt down with a pop, "Madam..."
Lin Yutong waved his hand, "It's useless if you don't go during the day. Let's go explore at night and see what's going on in the palace?"
Hei Qi wanted to speak, but Lin Yutong waved his hand, "There's no one in the palace, so what's the danger? Besides, aren't you going to follow me? Wear a little eunuch's clothes, that's it."
Seeing Lin Yutong's insistence, Hei Qi quietly withdrew.
It was still early, and Lin Yutong had a good sleep. He woke up and filled his stomach. He put on the eunuch's clothes and went out.
Aunt Su grabbed her and said, "Madam, think about it again. There have been so many innocent souls in this palace for hundreds of years. Everyone knows that the palace is unclean and filled with yin. Commander Black disagrees with you.
Go, it’s not the people you’re afraid of, but…”
Lin Yutong smiled: "Mommy, didn't you say before that I am also a true phoenix? Since I am a true phoenix, I am naturally immune to all evil."
Grandma Su choked suddenly.
Lin Yutong laughed and patted Aunt Su's hand, "Don't worry. I'll be back before dawn. Make some lotus seed porridge and I'll drink that."
Hei Qi then reluctantly took Lin Yutong out.
The capital city is quiet at night. How many ghosts and ghosts are hidden under this twilight? No one can tell.
The palace doors, no matter how big or small, will definitely not be opened at night.
Lin Yutong followed Hei Qi, walked half a circle, and stopped under a palace wall. After looking around, she realized that this was the entrance to the palace's drainage channel for the moat.
Nowadays, the moat is frozen, and there is a thick layer of ice on it, but there must be a gap of half a person's height between the ice layer and the palace wall, so that you can get in by squatting.
"There are people guarding here. If anyone dares to come in, it will be really doomed." Hei Qi said, touched something on the wall and pulled it. When the lantern on the opposite side lit up, Hei Qi said: "Now
It’s okay, master, let’s go.”
Lin Yutong frowned. This palace has become so virtuous. Is it safe to live there? No wonder the emperor ran away. If he had to leave here quickly, he would.
It seems that if you really want to live here in the future, this palace will need to be renovated.
Her thoughts were far away, but her feet kept following Hei Qi forward.
"No need to wander around, which hall is the most haunted, where should we go?" Lin Yutong explained in a low voice.
It's okay to ask Hei Qi to check for anything. If you encounter ghosts and gods, these people will all go and have a rest. Sometimes, it's not as easy as Saburo.
Hei Qi responded and led the way. It was dark in the palace at night, and the occasional light shined through. Not only did it not make people feel warm and secure, but it made people feel colder, lonely, and ghostly.
While walking, he suddenly heard some movement in front of him. Hei Qi stopped and hid behind the rockery. Lin Yutong restrained his voice and did not dare to move.
Immediately afterwards, I heard the sound of sex. It was really embarrassing.
In this palace, apart from the old palace concubine and the old eunuch, what can be accomplished?
Even if you can't see Hei Qi's expression, you know that he must be looking very embarrassed at this moment.
Lin Yutong pointed to the other side, signaling him not to disturb others, and the two quickly left.
After walking for half an hour, Hei Qi pointed to the front and said, "That's the Wenhua Hall, the most noisy place."
Lin Yutong nodded and slowly leaned over.
Hei Qi whispered: "No one is watching here anymore. They don't even dare."
"Be careful when sailing." Lin Yutong said and walked over. The door of the main hall was locked. Hei Qi stepped forward and poked for a long time before opening it. The door was pushed open gently, and there was a "squeaking" sound.
Sound, in such an atmosphere, travels extremely far.
I walked in slowly, and it was pitch dark inside. It took me a while to get used to it.
The hall was normal and nothing seemed amiss. It was just that there was dust everywhere, indicating that no one had come in for a long time.
Hei Qi wiped off the dust on a stool with his sleeve. Then he placed it against the wall and asked Lin Yutong to sit on it.
The two seemed to be performing a pantomime.
Leaning against the cold wall, time passed little by little.
Around midnight, there was a sudden rustling sound, vague and vague. Even if you knew it was a human voice, you couldn't help but make the hair on your body stand up.
Hei Qi pulled out his knife, and Lin Yutong waved his hand, telling him to be quiet.
She leaned her ears against the wall and listened carefully. The messy footsteps lasted for a long time. Immediately afterwards, it seemed like someone was speaking, like a whisper, which made it difficult to hear what was being said.
But it was definitely a voice.
After waiting for more than half an hour, slowly there were sounds of sex, women's cries, and men's laughter.
Lin Yutong estimated that the sound may have come from the ventilation holes in the secret passage. The long distance and the factor of wind made it what he heard now.
She waved her hand, "Let's go." She said and walked out first.
It wasn't until he returned home that Lin Yutong told Hei Qi: "Mark all the haunted palaces for me."
Hei Qi didn't understand what it meant, but still solemnly responded: "I'll deliver it to you tomorrow."
Lin Yutong slept until three o'clock in the morning.
Aunt Su handed Lin Yutong the drawings handed over by Hei Qi.
Lin Yutong sat around the kang, not bothering to wash up. He just wiped his face with a handkerchief, took a breath, and spread the drawings on the kang table.
Then take charcoal and connect these palaces.
"The secret passage that leads directly from the palace to the outside of the city is a huge project and is simply impossible."
"Then, that also means that the exit of this palace secret passage must be near the palace."
"And the place closest to the palace gate must also have a secret passage leading to the outside of the city."
"But this doesn't make sense. It's not unusual for there to be a secret passage from the palace to the outside. But to say that there is a secret passage near the city gate is a fantasy. The city wall needs to be repaired every year, and there is no regularity in groundbreaking. If it really exists
The secret passage was discovered eight hundred years ago."
"But if there is no secret passage, how do people from outside the city sneak into the city?"
"Even if the city gate is not strictly guarded, it is possible for dozens or even hundreds of people to sneak in. But what can these hundreds of people do in the capital?"
Lin Yutong frowned, holding a map and mumbling something.
After all the symbols marked on the map were connected, Grandma Su, who came over with tea, said, "Isn't this the Huanyi Bureau?" She was pointing to a point marked on the map.
Lin Yutong nodded, "It's the Huanyi Bureau. What's wrong? Where is this place closest to outside the palace?"
Aunt Su put down the tea cup and said, "Across the palace wall, there is the Huanyi Bureau on one side and the Jiaofang Division on the other."
Lin Yutong was stunned, and the charcoal pen in his hand suddenly fell on the table, "Where did you say it was?"
"Jiaofang Secretary." Aunt Su looked at Lin Yutong inexplicably.
Lin Yutong's expression changed: "It turns out to be the Jiaofang Division. This is a match."
Mother Su's face was full of confusion: "What are you talking about, madam?"
"Wait for me to freshen up." Lin Yutong stood up and got off the kang, "Let's go to the Jiaofang Department and see what kind of opera these people are singing."
Aunt Su didn't know what Lin Yutong meant and didn't dare to answer. She could only move her hands and feet more quickly.
When the girls brought the food, Lin Yutong seemed to remember something and ordered: "Send someone to invite Mr. Yin to come and tell him that I have something important to see him."
Aunt Su smiled: "Now you are becoming more and more like Mr. Yin."
Lin Yutong chuckled, "That's because he is extremely talented."
If Sanlang had nothing special to do, he would usually get up at noon. So, when he opened his eyes and heard that Lin Yutong had summoned him, his head was pounding...
