Chapter 400 400 Secret(1/2)

Kaifeng City originally had a very complete underground drainage channel, and drainage channels are crucial for flood control and dredging. However, the water system underground of the octagonal well is deeper, and it feels that it is not built for drainage.

In addition, I saw the leaf mark on the dry well before. Everyone suspected that the well was related to He Wanfeng, but now it seems that it is unlikely that it was built by He Wanfeng.

First of all, the age is not up to par with... All major projects in Kaifeng City have been recorded in the past hundred years.

Furthermore, He Wanfeng's sphere of influence has basically never entered Kaifeng, so it is impossible to do such a big move.

"This mechanism should not be controlled by throwing stones into the wells." Zhao Pu said, "I feel like there is a set of general switches that can uniformly control the lifting and lowering of these wells to adjust the water level."

"Is the original intention of building it to irrigate the farmland?" Gongsun asked.

Everyone thinks there is some truth, but...

"If you irrigate the farmland, there seems to be no need to be so mysterious..." Lin Yehuo always felt that this mechanism was evil, especially the strange sounds made in the well, which made him panic.

"There may be many such wells." Zhao Pu asked the shadow guards to spread all over Kaifeng City to find out how many such wells are there in total. You can draw a detailed topographic map.

I didn't sleep well last night and all the brain-struggled people decided to go for breakfast together.

A group of people ran to Liuyexuan to eat steamed dumplings. Because they got up early, there were many empty seats on the second floor. After playing the table, the whole family sat together.

Liu Yexuan is a famous snack shop in Kaifeng City. His dumplings are particularly famous. They are named because the dumplings are very narrow and long, and the shape is very similar to willow leaves.

Everyone didn't know if they were stimulated by the "willow leaves" pattern on the well wall. When they said that they had breakfast, they all remembered Liu Yexuan.

The shop's staff came to order food. If you want to say that there is no food shop in Kaifeng Prefecture that is not familiar with Zhan Zhao's little son. When we saw this group of people coming, we would recommend whether to order a family photo, which is to give you a serving of all kinds of dumplings in his shop.

Everyone nodded, thinking that maybe a family photo was not enough.

After eating dumplings, Zhan Zhao saw that Bai Yutang seemed to have no intention and was always in a daze, so he picked up a steamed dumpling in the bowl.

The fifth master was still in a daze. When the Tianzun saw it, he raised his hand and slapped the fifth master in the head with a "splash", "Eat well!"

The fifth master reached out to touch his head and looked at his master dissatisfiedly.

The Heavenly Lord was about to laugh at him, but the Silver Demon King also slapped his head with a "slap".

The Heavenly Lord covered the back of his head and looked at the Demon King dissatisfiedly.

The Demon King still glared at him - he was so beautiful as an apprentice, he could just take a photo in public!

The Tianzun looked speechless - I am also very good-looking, don’t you just take a photo!

The demon king picked up a dumpling in his bowl - eat! Don't talk back!

The Heavenly Lord is so angry that he eats dumplings.

This family portrait is really a lot, and the dumplings taste good. After eating some, everyone started chatting when they are not hungry.

Sure enough, no one cares about the case at all. The children talk about the ball, and the old men talk about where to go for a while.

Zhan Zhao pulled the fifth master who was still distracted to his side, lowered his head and said something, and asked him what was wrong.

The fifth master said, "I went to Longtu Pavilion before, didn't Xiao Sizi draw a few case files out?"

Zhan Zhao nodded.

"One of them is a floating corpse case in the west of the city." said the fifth master, "I hugged him at that time. The case has not been solved yet because the floating corpse has not been caught."

Zhan Zhao frowned, "The body was not caught?"

Bai Yutang nodded, "The case file says that the case was near Baihu Bridge in the west of the city. At that time, many people witnessed a female corpse in white clothes floating on the river. However, when the official was reported, the yamen sent a boat to fish, the body disappeared... Later, the yamen's fleet fished the river for several days, but no female corpse was found, so the case was suspended."

Zhan Zhao touched his chin, "No wonder Che Kuai said that the person who fell into the river was his daughter, and he fooled her... and there was no corpse at all."

"The White Tiger Bridge is a bit strange." Bai Yutang asked, "Now think about it, the corpse is also dressed in white. Will it have anything to do with the head we picked up?"

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, "Have you drifted along the water to the well?"

The fifth master thinks it is possible.

"Well..." Zhan Zhao felt that it was possible to investigate, "The time of the floating corpse case occurred is similar to that of a haunted car. In fact, a lot of people were lost in Kaifeng City that time!"

Bai Yutang also nodded, "Everyone said that he was caught by a ghost car, but the ghost car is definitely not a real ghost. Where did the missing person go?"

"There was a case of theft of the Wang Family Money House back then. If you lost such a large sum of money, it would be left in the end." Zhan Zhao felt that there might be some contact here. Many people were missing and theft of the money house back then sounded like a big case.

The two were discussing the case in a low voice, and one dumpling was added to the bowl.

As the two looked up, Yin Hou was looking at them helplessly - during the New Year, you two should not post the word "Fu" at the door of Meow Meow Tower, just post the word "busy".

Everyone laughed at them.

After dinner, everyone went to their own way. Zhao Pu was going to the military camp Gongsun Yaowang to go to the Imperial Academy. Liangchen and the American side asked the White Dragon King and the White Ghost King to take the ball to practice. The soy sauce team had long disappeared, and Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang were also gone.

Finally, at Liu Yexuan's door, there was only Zhan Zhao Baiyutang, plus a ball of rice ball.

The little Sizi was quite dissatisfied and took Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang's hand to look around - he was left behind! Why didn't he take me with food, drink and have fun?!

Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang glanced at Tuanzi and felt that he could "use" reasonably...

Not long after, two big and one small appeared at the entrance of Longtu Pavilion.

The little Sizi puffed his cheeks with a little disgusted - Come to Longtu Pavilion again? I used up all my skills last time!

Zhan Zhao picked him up and ran in, and the fifth master followed in.

In the yard, Old Chen was watering the flowers. When he looked up, he saw several people, "Why is it so early?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both felt that the disgust on the old man’s face was a little obvious!

Old Chen shook his head and looked at Zhan Zhao who ran to ask him for the key to the Dragon Tu Pavilion, "You... got up so early to solve the case? How could you fight so hard?"

Zhan Zhaohe’s little foursomes all looked at Bai Yutang—this is...it’s a long story.

Wu Ye thought that a white camellia in Lao Chen's yard was good and smelled quite nice.

Zhan Zhao grabbed Xiaobaitang staring at the flowers - don’t put white flowers in the yamen anymore!

The little fourth son also said to Zhan Zhao, "That day, Xiao Bailong was sitting on the pile of white laces in the yard, and no one noticed him!"

Zhan Zhao imagined that scene and endured the laughter...

Lao Chen opened the door of Longtu Pavilion for the three of them and followed him in.

"I haven't heard anything big about Kaifeng Mansion recently. They are all children playing football." Old Chen asked Zhan Zhao curiously, "What are you looking for? Is it still the previous ghost car incident?"

Bai Yutang found the previous paper of the corpse floating in the west of the city.

Zhan Zhao showed it to Lao Chen.

Old Chen frowned, "This has been a case from many years ago... it has been fifty years, right?"

"My man, do you have an impression of that case?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Old Chen hesitated for a moment and looked at the two of them.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, feeling that Old Chen seemed to have some secret...

"Um……"

The old man flashed and went to close the door of Longtu Pavilion.

Xiao Sizi and Zhan Zhao both shook their heads-this speed is faster than a rabbit! He was so proud of his pretending for so long before.

Lao Chen quickly closed the door and whispered, "I do know a little about this matter."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at him in confusion - why is it so mysterious? Isn't it happened more than fifty years ago?

"This matter involves a person." Old Chen made a lip , "The First Emperor!"

Because the old man just made a lip pose, none of the three of them heard the sound.

The fifth master frowned slightly - flowers?

Zhan Zhao was also wondering - crab roe?

Little Sizi blinked - shrimp slip?

Old Chen looked at the three of them with a little funny and angry look - you three said they were here to investigate the case, but they always felt that they were not very serious...

"Last Emperor." Old Chen said helplessly.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both frowned, and Xiao Sizi asked with his fingers, "Which emperor is the one?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both nodded. Xiao Sizi asked correctly. Zhao Zhen ascended the throne for fourteenth time and has been an emperor for more than ten years. Zhao Zhen’s father was in poor health and had been in power for only twenty-five years in total, and the two had been in total for less than fifty years. So this old emperor...isn’t he referring to Taizong?

"No, it's the previous term." Old Chen shook his head and reminded, "At that time, the late emperor had not been crowned the crown prince. Do you know what position he had held when he was young?"

Before Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang could speak, the little fourth son raised his hand, "I know! He was the prefect of Kaifeng!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both nodded.

Old Chen nodded with a smile, "This case happened when the late emperor was appointed as the prefect of Kaifeng."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang thought about it and asked in unison, "Oh! So the Kaifeng Prefecture Prefecture who didn't believe in the ghost cart was the last emperor?"

Old Chen nodded, "This floating corpse case is also the last case investigated before the late emperor was named crown prince, but after it was reported that the deceased was Che Kuai's daughter, it was left unresolved."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were both surprised. Although the late emperor was criticized for his large-scale construction in his late reign because he was addicted to sacrificial sacrifices and feudal ancestry. However, he was a very reliable and good emperor in his early reign. He was also very successful in his personal military success in dealing with the Liao Kingdom... When he was young, he was diligent and serious... How could he just hang up the last case of being the prefect of Kaifeng so confused?

"Is there something wrong with it?" Xiao Sizi hugged his little arm and asked Lao Chen for gossip.

Old Chen whispered, "When the late emperor was the prefect of Kaifeng, there was a rumor that he had a confidante among the people."
