Tang Chen said: "Can you explain why all the maids and eunuchs in Concubine Zhen's Palace have been dragged out and killed?"
"This is an order issued by Zhongshu Ling. I really don't know the specific reason. The two of us are patrollers and we don't know that much information."
Tang Chen sighed. This information seemed to be of no use to him. He asked, "Do you know any other information? For example, was there anything unusual about Concubine Zhen before this?"
"Abnormal?" The man thought for a while and said, "Probably not. Two days ago, Concubine Zhen went out to a mountain to fulfill her wish. She died the next day after she came back. Is this considered abnormal?
"
"You still wish?"
Another person said: "Concubine Zhen goes out of the palace once every month. This is a normal thing and cannot be considered abnormal. Moreover, Concubine Zhen basically doesn't go out very often. We really didn't find anything!"
"Okay!" Tang Chen said, "How much do you know about Xiao Cui?"
The expressions of the two people suddenly changed and they said: "Xiao Cui has turned into an evil spirit now, but you can't say her name randomly, otherwise it will be bad if you are found!"
"Find me? What do you mean?"
"They all say that Xiao Cui's evil spirit is still in the palace, and those people who died these days have been taken away by Xiao Cui. They are all together, and they will be dead if they find them!"
These words were a bit nonsense. If they continued talking like this, Tang Chen felt that nothing could be said from their mouths, so he said: "Okay, you two, let's go. Don't tell me what happened here today."
Does anyone else know?"
"I know, I know!"
The two guys ran away quickly. Tang Chen sighed and walked towards Xiao Cui's previous room. Before he reached her room, Tang Chen felt an evil spirit coming towards his face. This breath was strong.
It seems that anyone with some spiritual power should be able to feel it when they come here. He opened the door, and the sunlight seemed to be unwelcome in this room at all. It was blocked out, and a rotten smell came out, which made Tang
Chen subconsciously covered his nose. He had been to this room before, but at this moment, he felt that this room was so strange.
He frowned and looked inside. The bright red sheets were so dazzling. At least half of the musical instruments hanging on the wall were missing. Where had those musical instruments gone? Could it be that the disappearance of these musical instruments had something to do with Concubine Zhen?
Does his death matter?
The more Tang Chen thought about it, the more something was wrong. He saw the broken eyebrow pencil on the table. He picked it up and found that there was actually an evil spirit attached to it. This was something he had never expected. He sighed softly.
In one breath, this eyebrow pencil had disappeared from his room once before and now it came back again. He was a little unsure whether it was done by a human being or whether it was really caused by evil spirits.
He walked out of the room and watched the sun gradually being blocked by the clouds. The air-conditioning coming from the room made him shiver. Tang Chen frowned and looked inside again. He didn't know what was going on with him.
He felt that there must be some valuable clues here. When he went in for the second time, his eyes subconsciously stared under the bed. Maybe most of the supernatural stories happened under the bed, so Tang Chen had a little obsession.
.He simply looked and saw that there was nothing under the bed.
He raised his head and walked towards the head of the bed. There was a smell of blood on the bed, but this smell was very insignificant under the damp smell. Tang Chen opened the quilt and thought he could find it under the quilt.
Something that could scare him, but there was nothing. As the quilt was lifted, a crisp sound made Tang Chen look down, and a rusty copper coin fell to the ground.
He threw the quilt aside and picked up the copper coins on the ground. This copper coin must have been a few years old, and it was already a little green on the surface. Why was this copper coin on the bed?
He was just about to put the copper coin down when bursts of black smoke came out of the copper coin. The black smoke made Tang Chen feel uncomfortable, and cold sweat began to break out from his back.
He frowned and clutched the copper coin. There must be something wrong with it, and the problem must be much bigger than the one on the eyebrow pencil. He decided to find someone to help him take a look first to see what was on it.
knowledge.
Tang Chen walked out. As soon as he walked out, there were several people hiding next to him. It was obvious that someone was following him, but this was normal. He turned a corner, threw a barrier and fled!
He came to where Zhang Zheng lived and walked in. Zhang Zheng saw the cup flying in the air and said, "Who is it? Come out!"
Tang Chen untied the barrier, looked at Zhang Zheng and said with a smile: "Zhang Shangshu, it's me!"
"You guessed it, there are not many people with this kind of spiritual power in the whole capital. Master Zhou and I have finished what you want to do today. Do you have anything else to do?"
At this time, Tang Chen took out the copper coin from his pocket and said, "What is this thing?"
Zhang Zheng looked at the copper coins on the table and said, "It's just a copper coin. What's wrong?"
"This copper coin has a strong smell of evil spirits on it. I feel that Concubine Zhen's death may have something to do with this copper coin."
Speaking of Concubine Zhen's death, Zhang Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment took the copper coin in his hand seriously and said, "According to what you are saying now, this copper coin may be more than that simple."
"So do you think there are any copper coins that can be associated with evil spirits?"
Zhang Zheng thought for a while and stood up and walked around the room for a while and said: "There are still a lot of copper coins related to the dead, such as burial coins, or money to attract wealth placed on the corners of the coffin, but ordinary people cannot take these coins.
The money that came out, looking at the quality of the money, is most likely to be used as pressure money. I’m not very clear about this either. You can go to Beijie and find some people who know about this to ask.”
Tang Chen nodded and said, "Then tell me what's going on with this pressure money."
"Quiet money is the only kind of money that people can take away. It will be placed in the mouth of the dead so that the dead person will not rot easily. In fact, I don't know exactly how it is used. You have to ask a professional about this.
"People." Zhang Zheng sat down and took a sip of tea and said: "Now I have found someone to deal with Concubine Zhen's matter, but the Crown Prince's people have not made much progress even if they try to stop it. It would be great if you came to investigate now."
A good thing.”
Tang Chen shook his head and leaned back on the chair and said a little tiredly: "I don't have that much time to care about these things. I checked this matter just to make the prince relax his vigilance and save me from having him come to me no matter what I do."
