Chapter One Hundred and Ninety-two: Midnight Blowing Sound
Tang Chen said: "I came here and felt that there was something wrong with this matter. You said that the emperor had taken away the evil spirit, but there have been strange things happening recently, so I wonder if someone is pretending to be a ghost, is it Xiao Cui?
After she died, someone was deliberately trying to avenge her or something like that."
Xiao Tao still seems to be a little suspicious of Tang Chen, looking at him with something wrong: "Are you thinking too much? This is not done by humans at all."
"How do you know it wasn't done by humans?" Tang Chen's sharp eyes made her feel a little uncomfortable, and she said, "Because I didn't hear the sound of anyone playing a musical instrument at all last night."
Tang Chen frowned and said, "Did you go to bed early?"
"It's impossible for me to go to bed early. My wife has been having trouble sleeping these past few days, so I go to bed very late every day. I have never heard the sound of anyone playing a musical instrument."
"Does it mean I was the only one who heard it?"
At this time, Concubine Zhen held her head and said, "I also heard the sound yesterday. The sound lasted for a long time and then disappeared."
Tang Chen said: "How is it possible that some people can hear the sound and some people can't?"
He walked out and looked at a few little eunuchs sweeping the floor outside and said, "Did any of you sleep very late last night?"
When those people saw Tang Chen, they shook their heads as if they were seeing the god of plague. Xiao Tao came out and looked at them and said, "Did anyone hear the sound of someone playing a musical instrument outside yesterday?"
Those people shook their heads, but Xiao Tao did not dare to doubt that Concubine Zhen could only look at Tang Chen and said: "Since the Queen Mother asked you to help deal with this matter, please deal with it as soon as possible!"
Tang Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, I will handle it as soon as possible. Please take me to the small stool to have a look."
Xiao Tao went in and talked to Concubine Zhen, then took Tang Chen back and said, "This little stool is being imprisoned because he stole some money from the palace a few days ago, so he has no chance to do anything."
I don't think you need to think about it at all."
Xiao Tao took him to a prison inside the palace. The environment here and the environment outside were such a sharp contrast that it was hard to believe that this was inside the palace.
Tang Chen covered his nose but couldn't block the musty smell. Xiao Tao said a few words to a few people inside and then went in smoothly. The environment of this cell was very dark, and most of the people inside were eunuchs and maids.
When people came in, they began to complain and shout that they were wronged.
Xiao Tao led him to a cell. The people there were shivering in a corner. He seemed to be different from everyone else. When someone came in, he was not so excited and ran to the cell to shout that he was wronged. He just raised his head and looked up.
The two of them glanced at each other, and there was an uncomfortable feeling in their eyes.
"This is a small stool."
Tang Chen could clearly feel that something was wrong with the atmosphere in this cell. He looked at the people inside and said, "Are you a little stool?"
The people there didn't say anything, and Xiao Tao said: "He has been like this since he found out that Xiao Cui was dead."
Hearing the word "Xiao Cui", he immediately got up and rushed towards Tang Chen and the others, but they were blocked by the iron cage and knocked to the ground. Xiao Tao was startled and screamed and took two steps back. He shouted with blood on his nose.
: "Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui is back, Xiao Cui is back!"
Tang Chen looked at him and said, "What is your relationship with Xiaocui?"
He looked at Tang Chen and laughed inexplicably and said: "Xiao Cui is dead, dead..." As he spoke, his eyes glazed over for a moment, and he stepped back a few steps with his hands on the ground and muttered: "Xiao Cui is dead."
Dead, already dead, it’s all a lie, it’s all fake!”
Tang Chen looked at Xiao Tao and said, "Let them open the door."
Xiao Tao looked at Tang Chen in disbelief and said, "What are you talking about? Little Stool has gone crazy. What if he hurts us?"
"Don't worry about this. My intuition tells me that Xiao Cui's matter may have something to do with him."
"I can't help it. Stealing in the palace is a serious crime and they won't open the cell door."
Tang Chen frowned and stood up, walked to the cell head and said, "Open the cell door!"
The prison head looked at Tang Chen and smiled and said: "What kind of onion are you? I will open it if you ask me to. What you gave me is just enough to come in and take a look. Get out now."
At this time, Tang Chen took out a jade pendant from his pocket and held it up in front of him. The man suddenly frightened and knelt on the ground shouting: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
This was the first time Tang Chen used this thing. He said: "Hurry up and open the door!"
The cell leader opened the door with the key. Xiao Tao looked at Tang Chen and said, "What is your background?"
Tang Chen gave her a look and then walked in, closed the door and walked to the small stool and said, "What is your relationship with Xiaocui?"
Xiao Shizi's mood became a little more stable, he looked at Tang Chen and shook his head: "I don't know Xiaocui, I don't know her, don't look for me."
"You guys? Has anyone else looked for you?"
"No, I don't know anything."
Tang Chen smiled bitterly and sat on the ground, looked at him and said, "Do you know that Xiao Cui's spirit is causing trouble outside now? I know you really like Xiao Cui, right?"
Little Stool said nothing, and Tang Chen continued: "I also know you are pretending to be crazy, right?"
The moment Little Stool raised his head, Tang Chen saw a flash of emotion in his eyes, and then he instantly became crazy and started to hit the wall. Tang Chen pulled him and said, "If you are unwilling to tell us the truth, then Xiao Cui
Do you know that Xiao Cui’s spirit will be scattered directly? If Xiao Cui’s spirit is scattered, you will never see Xiao Cui again.”
Little Stool's mood became a little more stable and he looked at Tang Chen and said, "Xiao Cui is dead, already dead! I don't want to talk, just leave."
Tang Chen saw that his mood had stabilized a little and said: "Yes, Xiaocui is dead. That's because you failed to protect her! If you don't do something for her now, her spirit will disappear, and you will be the second
Do you understand that I abandoned her for the first time?"
Xiao Shizi thought for a moment, then the expression on his face changed and he looked at Tang Chen and said, "I have heard a long time ago that Xiao Cui's spirit has been dispersed by the emperor, and I can no longer save her."
"These past few nights, I often hear the sound of Xiaocui playing musical instruments in the middle of the night."
Little Stool was startled and looked at Tang Chen and said, "That's a signal between us. We can only meet at night. Is her spirit really still there?"
Before Tang Chen could say anything, Little Stool shook his head again and said, "No, it's impossible. Her spirit has been dispersed by the Emperor. It's impossible for her to still be there. Don't even think about lying to me."
