Chapter 406 406 Hidden
Wang Feiyu told Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao what she knew about the ghost car case.
While sorting out her uncle's belongings, she discovered a pair of horse pendants.
Including the ghost carriage and the two four-handed pendants left to her by her adoptive father, there are three pendants in total.
Although she thought the styles of the three pendants were very similar at that time, she did not expect to put these three together. Moreover, she was busy dealing with the affairs of the bank, and wanted to return to Jiangnan as soon as she was done. She had other things to do at home, so
I didn't pay much attention to it.
But a few days later, suddenly on the street near the bank, several people disappeared, and then rumors about ghost cars began to spread.
After asking about the ghost car in detail, Wang Feiyu suddenly thought of the three pendants in his hand, put them together, and discovered that it turned out to be a ghost car.
At that time, Wang Feiyu felt that this ghost car might have something to do with the three brothers of the Wang family. In her memory, when she was a child, she followed Wang Fu running around for these years. It seemed aimless, but in fact Wang Fu had a clear intention. He should be looking for
Someone or something. Moreover, Wang Bao's sword will also have green flames when it is swung.
After confirming that Wang Bao might be related to the ghost car, Wang Feiyu walked around the streets where ghost cars were rumored to be haunted and observed... Finally, she noticed the Che family.
It was the car dealership run by Che Kuai's family that was suspected by many people to be related to the ghost car case.
Wang Feiyu said that she was attracted by the carriages rented by Che Kuai's family. These carriages should have been made by Che Kuai himself. There were many decorations on the carriages and horse lassoes. These decorative patterns were similar to the armor worn by Dannian Wang.
The patterns on them are the same.
Wang Feiyu remembers things about Wang Fan very clearly, and she used to help Wang Fan wash his armor when she was a child, so she speculates that Wang Fan's armor may have been made by Che Kuai...or maybe this pattern has some common meaning.
She pretended to rent a car and went to inquire with Che Kuai.
Che Kuai said that he learned the craftsmanship of making cars from his uncle, and the decorative patterns were also copied from his uncle's. He thought they looked good and just copied them. He didn't ask about the meaning, and he probably didn't have any special meaning.
Che Kuai was also very worried at that time, so Wang Feiyu didn't ask more, thinking to talk about it later.
But who knew that not long after the ghost car case happened, her bank was stolen.
At that time, the bank was almost finished, and the late emperor's bodyguard suddenly came to her. Because the bank had been stolen, he came to ask her if there was any loss.
Wang Feiyu was quite puzzled when he heard that the bank was empty, why was it still being stolen?
I ran to the bank with the guards and took a look. Indeed, the door lock of the bank was broken, and the tables, chairs, counters and the like inside were also damaged. It seemed that someone was rummaging for something. The most exaggerated thing was that even the floor of the study room was dug up.
Well, Wang Feiyu didn’t know if anything he had hidden had been stolen.
Later, rumors started to spread, and the late emperor found Wang Feiyu and said that maybe it was because of him that she had been involved in the struggle for the throne, so he asked her to return to Jiangnan quickly. If she stayed in Kaifeng, her life would be in danger. That's it, Wang Feiyu
Let’s go back to Jiangnan first…
Zhan Zhao and the others, who wanted to find clues through Wang Feiyu, couldn't help but feel a little regretful - even though they had experienced it personally, Wang Feiyu didn't seem to know much.
"Nothing."
Wang Feiyu changed the topic, "I had an informant in Kaifeng City, at an inn not far from Che's house, to monitor Che's house and the street... But they told me that the ghost car
A flying monster took me away."
Everyone nodded - it was still the same as what Che Kuai said. It seems that that kind of monster really exists...
"I've seen that kind of monster before!"
When Wang Feiyu said one word, everyone stared at her and their moods went up and down!
Zhan Zhao hurriedly asked, "Is that a large bat?"
Wang Feiyu shook his head, "I don't know that, but I have seen Wang Wan kill that kind of monster. Wang Wan sometimes goes out and comes back with blood on his body. I always thought he was going to kill someone, but later I found out that he might be
Kill monsters. Because once, after he came back, something followed him back and hid in the tree. The thing was black and could fly. It suddenly rushed over and attacked me... At this time, Wang Bao gave it to the thing.
One knife."
While talking, Wang Feiyu pointed to the middle of his forehead, "Just poke it through here, and the thing will die. That thing is so ugly that it can't be seen as a human being or a ghost. It has big wings. Later, it came from the darkness."
One flew out and bit two of our horses to death. Although it took some effort, the monster was killed by Wang Guan. It seemed that the thing was killed by stabbing it in the forehead...
…Every time, a bloody hole comes out.”
After listening to Wang Feiyu's words, everyone looked at each other - Could it be...
"Then how were the corpses of those monsters disposed of?" Zhan Zhao asked.
"Wang Gu cut off the monster's head and the horse's head, threw the body into the dry well, and buried the head in the ground." Wang Feiyu recalled, "The burial place seems to be near Kaifeng City..."
Everyone shook their heads and smiled bitterly - the case was solved! So that's where the four heads in the old lady's school came from. Good guy, I thought it was a ghost car!
"He threw both the horse and the monster's torso into the well?" Bai Yutang asked Wang Feiyu, "What kind of well is it?"
Wang Feiyu said it was a well in the mountains, and said that Wang Fu was very concerned about wells. He would study every well and even throw a stone into some. But he would not let her get close to the well. Moreover, Wang Fu would not drink.
Well water, sometimes she would go to the well to fetch water, and the king would follow her, always looking into the well.
Zhan Zhao felt that there was still some progress in this case. At least it was found out that it was not the skull of the three-eyed man, but the head of the big bat that Wang Bao stabbed.
Wang Feiyu didn't know much about other things. The ghost car case that year ended with the disappearance of a floating corpse in the west of the city. Neither the ghost car nor the monster appeared again.
After sending the old lady back, Zhan Zhao was in a daze with the bank's case files - as a party involved, Wang Feiyu could prove that the late emperor did not kill anyone and the rumors were untrue. However, the ghost car incident was still confusing, and now a headless man ran out again
General.
…
"Grandpa!" Zhan Zhao asked Yin Hou curiously, "How did Wang Fu die? Why did he tell Wang Feiyu your name before he died?"
Bai Yutang was also curious. The two of them brought a little girl from Kaifeng to Jiangnan to be raised by Wang Bao's brother. Could it be that they were friends with Wang Bao?
Lin Yehuo folded his arms and shook his head, "The headless general has such a bad reputation... Did he turn out to be a good guy?"
"Wang Bao is not a good person..." Yin Hou thought for a moment, "It's hard to describe him as good or bad."
Several of the kids looked at him curiously.
Tianzun curled his lips in disgust, "It's just that old ghost who is meddling in other people's business!"
Yin Hou looked at him - as if you didn't care back then!
Tianzun twisted his face - he is so dishonest!
Yin Hou is dissatisfied - Where am I not serious?
Zhan Zhao waved his hand in front of the quarreling soy sauce team - let’s talk about serious things!
Yin Hou introduced Wang Bao to everyone, "He was originally a barbarian general from the north, and he was very good at fighting. Later, the barbarian army had internal strife, and the entire team fell apart. Wang Bao took some of his subordinates to seek refuge everywhere... Originally
Many people wanted to win over him, who was good at fighting, but Wang Wan's neck was injured and he couldn't ride a horse. Many generals of the same clan who originally wanted to win over him not only refused to accept him but also mocked him. Later, Wang Wan was taken in by He Wanfeng...
He Wanfeng made him such an armor, and when he was released to fight, he said he was from Queen Xingtian, and his serious posture was quite scary."
Everyone wanted to laugh a little - He Wanfeng really... was everywhere, and this was such a good idea. His neck was injured, so he made such a high armor to fix it and protect it. It's a shame that he could think of it.
"After the war, it stands to reason that He Wanfeng had all his men settled down, and indeed they had disappeared for so many years. But for some unknown reason, Wang Bao reappeared in the world many years later. And there were some strange rumors about a headless man.
The general was killing people everywhere. At that time, Lao Gui and I happened to be near Kaifeng City. From what we heard, we thought that the headless general was Wang Fu, so we went to look for him. When we saw him for the first time, we had a face-to-face meeting, and he
It seemed there was something urgent. When I saw him for the second time, he was sitting in a forest in Qingshan with wounds all over his body. His sword was broken and he had only one breath left. Before he died, he told me that the temple
There was a girl there who was given to his younger brother to raise. She died after that. The old ghost and I buried her, and then I went to find the girl he mentioned. The old ghost found that there were many people moving around nearby, so we went to have a look.
.I arrived at the temple and saw the bonfire but no one. Maybe I missed the girl. The old ghost did find a lot of corpses and a group of people dressed like hired killers, so he chased after her...
What happened in front of the grave? I originally wanted to catch a killer and ask, but that old ghost killed everyone."
Tianzun spread his hands - I am not to blame for this. Those people were surrounding a girl with knives. If I wanted to save people, I could only kill everyone in the circle outside.
"After those people caught Wang Feiyu, they asked her, 'Where is the thing?'" Lin Yehuo touched his chin, "What are they looking for?"
"Could it be related to the theft of the bank?" Bai Yutang also felt that the two things should be looked at separately. "The people who went into the bank to look for things and the people who spread rumors to slander the late emperor may not be the same people."
"The reason why ghost cars appear near Che Kuai's house may be because of the pattern on Che Kuai's car... Che Kuai may not know Wang Fu, but his uncle may know him. Doesn't his uncle also know He Wanfeng?" Zhan
Zhao felt that the clues could be connected, but it was still not enough.
During lunch, Zhao Pu brought back the topographic map of Kaifeng Mansion.
Everyone spread out the drawings and found the original address of Wangji Bank.
"Isn't this a river?" Lin Yehuo felt that there was no chance, "No wonder I can't find it, it turned out to be a river!"
Bai Yutang knew the terrain of this area, "The alley where Che's family used to be was probably nearby."
"The digging of this river is very abnormal." Zhao Pu said, "The digging of this section did not connect any other important waterways. Instead, it cut off a good road in the middle, causing vehicles and horses to take a detour when passing here.
.”
The Fifth Master also felt that it was uneconomical to dig the river channel, as every inch of land in this area was of high value.
"So this area was dug, could it be to hide something?" Zhan Zhao curiously asked Zhao Pu, "To dig such a large river and start construction in Kaifeng city, the palace must agree, right? Who dug it?
?”
Zhao Pu also thought the same, "I just checked and found out that this piece of land was dug shortly before the emperor ascended the throne. During the emperor's period, he was superstitious about things like sacrifices, coupled with his poor health, he probably couldn't control many things.
I searched and found no records of related projects. Official documents on dredging and water conservancy during that time were also lost."
"It's a bit suspicious!" Zhan Zhao felt that this was a clue to the suspicious investigation. "You can go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to check if there are any relevant project appropriation accounts, or you can go to the Ministry of Personnel to find out who was the official responsible for Kaifeng-related matters during that time.
.”
Everyone was discussing the case when Wang Chao Mahan ran in from outside and said, "Sir Zhan, something happened!"
Zhan Zhao was caught off guard and without much mental preparation, he asked, "What happened?"
"The officials caused trouble and killed people," Mahan said.
As soon as Zhan Zhao heard about the officials, he thought of the incident of accidentally catching a rapist in the morning, and asked quickly, "Who died? Did the minister and Sima fight?"
Chao Chao and Ma Han were both stunned and shook their heads together, "No, when the officials were cleaning up the attic of the warehouse, they found a box, and there was a corpse inside."
Zhan Zhao blinked, "Who was killed? The minister or Sima?"
Wang Chao and Ma Han both tilted their heads and looked at Zhan Zhao - are they having sex with the minister and Sima?
"Both the minister and Sima are alive." Wang Chao and Ma Han said helplessly, "Why don't you go and take a look? People from the Ministry of Civil Affairs came to report the case and said they found a body!"
