Chapter 405
Zhuge Xianyu smiled and said: "Lao Xu was known as the best mask maker in the world back then. He has been doing this all his life. The human skin masks he made are the best in the world. At first, he could sell five thousand taels a pair, and they were priceless.
city."
Fan Xiaodao said: "What kind of work is that? With this skill alone, I will have no worries about food and drink for the rest of my life."
"It's unethical!" Xu Wu left and came back. He left in a hurry and forgot to bring his toolbox, so he came back here and said: "Real masks are made of human skin. To prevent the fur from getting wrinkled, there is a middle
It has to go through more than a dozen procedures, and even the hair needs to be implanted before it can take root."
Zhuge Xianyu said: "Let alone a mask, even if you bring Wu Dalang here, he can make you look like Wu Erlang!"
Xu Wuzuo chuckled, "It's a trivial skill, but it's not worth mentioning. Don't hurt me, sir. In those days, among the five tigers from the Six Doors, which one didn't have a unique skill?"
Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing became interested, "So magical? How did you do it?"
Xu Zuo said: "Our line of work has always been inherited, and Wu Zuo is just one of the professions. For example, the bone extraction and bone cutting techniques in the ancient secret arts can make people change their appearance in a short time, but it is against the way of heaven, so it is extremely
Use less. The mask you are going to make can only be regarded as the most basic one."
Fan Xiaodao thought that his lame disguise skills, such as pasting on beards and dyeing hair, were just inexperienced techniques, and they were fine for deceiving outsiders. But if there were people he knew well, his body shape, walking and speaking methods would be too much for him.
It was easy to spot him, so he asked, "Can you teach me?"
Xu Wuzuo said: "Even if you have the gift of understanding, it will be difficult for you to figure it out within ten or eight years."
Fan Xiaodao had no choice but to give up.
Xu Wuzuo said, "A mask is just the simplest imitation. If you really want to fake it, you must not only imitate the other person's appearance, but also imitate the way he talks and walks, the way he controls his voice through his throat and vocal cords, and even his thinking."
Patterns are not a simple thing. As far as I know, there have been people who have spent their entire lives imitating another person."
Ahem!
Zhuge Xianyu coughed twice.
Lao Xu said, "That's too far away. Let's talk. I'll leave now. Come find me at noon tomorrow to get the mask. Then I'll talk to you face to face."
Fan Xiaodao looked at his retreating back and said, "Old Xu is also a wonderful person!"
Zhuge Xianyu sighed and said: "Old Xu was also one of the Imperial Guards back then and was highly valued by His Majesty. However, he had a problem. He loved drinking. Once he got drunk and got into trouble and lost his official position. He came to seek refuge with me. I thought of it.
I took him in because of an old relationship, but after all these years, my old habits still haven’t changed."
Xu Wuzuo likes to drink, and Fan Xiaodao also knows this habit.
When he dissected Sun Mengwu, Xu Wuzuo drank a lot before taking action. Even so, he was amazed. However, Xu Wuzuo was taken in by Zhuge Xianyu. Fan Xiaodao knew this for the first time. No wonder Zhuge Xianyu was a talented person.
When I came back, I knew the situation of the six gates and the seven major Tisi very well. It turned out that there was an inner being inside.
Zhuge Xianyu took out a secret memorandum from his arms and said: "The records of the three assassins in Dengwen Division are all written in it. You two should read it carefully and go to the ghost building tomorrow night to see if there is anything there.
Nothing gained."
"Two for three?"
Zhuge Xianyu said: "Two are enough. Also, during this period, they have been living in the private room on the second floor of Loulanju for a whole month. Our people have been monitoring them, fearing that they would come back and arouse suspicion.
No action has been taken. Please take the time to go there and see if there are any useful clues."
"Our people?"
Zhuge Xianyu said: "You will know when the time comes."
…
A six-door fire is not good news at this juncture.
But the facts are facts, and the key lies in how to describe them. The same four words, repeated defeats and repeated defeats, express two completely different meanings. This is exactly the huge penis of the greatest man in Chinese civilization.
Where, what echoes is the crystallization of wisdom expressed in simple language.
After the deployment was completed, Zhuge Xianyu took the memorial and went to the Ministry of Justice in person to report what happened today. The general idea is that as the whole country celebrates the sixtieth birthday of our emperor, the six doors serve as national security agencies.
, be prepared for danger in times of peace and actively carry out anti-theft measures
Fire and robbery emergency drills. This drill was led by Chief Warden Zhuge Xianyu. It simulated various response measures in the event of riots and fires in Tilao Division, and achieved good results. In order to ensure the stability of the capital during the birthday period
, be ready for all responses.
Soon, this memorial was sent to the cabinet by the Ministry of Punishments. When it was in the hands of Zhao Quan, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, he smiled. This Zhuge Xianyu was still as docile as ever. It was the same then and it is the same now. However, Your Majesty kept it.
He, of course, had his own intentions, and the Holy Heart cannot be fathomed. He circled the ink pen to show that he understood it, and then returned it to the cabinet.
His Majesty's cultivation is more important, and immortality is the top priority. Why bother him with such trivial matters?
However, that night, a secret memo from Dongchang about the incident was also delivered to Long Shu's desk. His Majesty the Emperor looked at the memo with a gloomy face. He looked at Zhao Quan who was waiting not far away and asked, "Six Fans
Regarding the fire at the door, have you ever received a memorial from the cabinet?"
When Zhao Quan heard that there was a fire, he immediately realized that something was wrong. However, he had been with the emperor for many years, could stand upright, and had a flexible mind, so he replied, "Zhuge Xianyu conducted an emergency drill. In the afternoon, I saw your majesty practicing. There was no
Excuse me, I was just about to report back to His Majesty."
The emperor asked, "Emergency drill? Are there any dead?"
"There is no mention of any death in the memorial."
The emperor threw the secret memorandum into Zhao Quan's face, "See for yourself!"
Zhao Quan picked up the secret memorial and read it word for word. He was so frightened that his face became embarrassed. The emperor said, "Zhao Quan, you are becoming more and more confused as you live. You are not as familiar with such a trivial matter as Lu Tianshuo, a young man like you."
I don’t think I will take up the post of eunuch Bingbi, the ceremonial supervisor!”
Zhao Quan fell to his knees and said, "I know I was wrong. Your Majesty, please punish me."
Zhao Quan is responsible for His Majesty's daily review of documents, documents, and memorials, ranging from a hundred to five or six hundred copies. In addition to reviewing, he also serves His Majesty. When he was young, he could still withstand it, but now he is old and has no energy.
Unlike before, who would have thought that there are so many truths in a trivial matter? However, at this time, any excuse can only be regarded as sophistry. It is better to confess honestly and get a lighter sentence.
The emperor saw that he was so frightened and thought that he had to serve around him every day and review a bunch of memorials. He had been with him for decades, which was considered a great achievement for his hard work. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, if you can't handle it, just ask Taiping to come over."
Please help for a while."
…
It would take some time to make the mask, and the investigation of Taiping Taoist Temple could not be carried out. That afternoon, they came to the Ministry of Industry, ostensibly to borrow the drawings that had been filed when the six doors were built. Naturally, they took all the necessary procedures.
Under the Ministry of Industry, there are four official departments, Yingxi, Yuheng, Dushui, and Tuntian. The construction and construction of all palaces and offices in the capital are all managed by the Yingxiu Department. Among them, Du Deduan, the sixth-rank chief clerk of the Archives Department, is Zhao
After the two of them explained their intention, he was very happy and took them straight to the warehouse where the drawings were stored.
Along the way, Du Diduan also had a lively chat with Zhao Xing. He was a second-generation official who did not take part in the imperial examination. He relied on his father's protection to get an official position from the sixth rank to the chief register. Although his rank was low, he had a heart for gossip and was interested in the capital.
Some of the current events are very interesting.
Du De Duan met Fan Xiaodao for the first time. While Fan Xiaodao was lagging behind, he secretly asked if this was the illegitimate son of the one in the Legend Palace. Although his words were low, they still fell into Fan Xiaodao's ears word for word. Zhao Xing did not
Fa could not answer, but Fan Xiaodao said, "Brother Du is really well-informed."
Du Diduan chuckled and said, "I'm sorry. I have no hope of an official career, so I just listen to casual gossip and use it as bragging material when drinking with others."
Fan Xiaodao didn't expect him to be so single, so he just smiled.
Du Deduan was not angry when he saw that he was not angry, so he added, "Young Master Fan is so generous. I have nothing to do tonight, and Zhao Xing and I haven't seen each other for many days. Why don't I call some old childhood friends and sit down together in the evening to talk about our parting feelings?"
, don’t shirk it!”
It turned out that the borrowed drawings of the six doors were fake, but the borrowing records of the drawings were investigated and found to be true. Zhao Xingzheng was thinking about how to tell him, and when he saw this, he said, "Then we have to finish the business first."
The three of them came to the warehouse. Du Diduan arranged for a while, and then a clerk went to retrieve the drawings. Zhao Xing took the opportunity and said, "Brother Du, to tell you the truth, in fact, the loan we borrowed this time was fake, and the investigation was true. We think
Let’s check, have the drawings of the six doors been loaned out in the past two years?”
Du Diduan muttered: "This..."
This kind of borrowing record cannot be disclosed to the public. If you want to retrieve it, you have to go through the relevant approval procedures. This request from Zhao Xing made him a little embarrassed.
Zhao Xingdao: "This matter is very important and related to a case we are investigating."
At this time, the clerk brought the drawings of the six doors, including the two versions rebuilt thirty years ago and three years ago. Du Duanduan took a borrowing record, put it on the table, and said to the clerk, "Xiaotian,
You need to keep an eye on the warehouse these days, the weather is dry and the weather is dry, so be careful with the candles. Please take me for a walk."
After that, he took the young official and left.
Zhao Xing understood the idea, took the record, and started reading it.
These borrowing records all come with approval procedures. It has been a long time since a less popular government office like Liumen has found them. When he turned to the end, Zhao Xing saw a familiar name, "Ding Yi." Looking at the signature again, it was this year.
On the seventh day of March, at that time, he had already left Liumen and sought refuge with Princess Taiping.
After flipping through a few more pages, they discovered that Ding Yi had not only borrowed the drawings of the six doors, but also the drawings of the Shuntian Mansion Prison and the Private Prison of the Bingma Division.
Fan Xiaodao said, "Ding Yi?"
It seems that the assassin of the Northern Zhou Dynasty escaped from the golden cicada in prison. It was a premeditated plan. Could it be that the assassin of the Northern Zhou Dynasty colluded with Princess Taiping? Princess Taiping is a royal family member. She is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. What does this have to do with her?
benefit?
Zhao Xing pointed his finger at the place where the loan was signed and approved, and saw another person's name, Murong Tiechui.
Murong Tiechui is now the deputy commander of the Jin Yiwei, and Ding Yi is a retainer of Princess Taiping. The two of them are incompatible with each other, but when Ding Yi retrieves these drawings, he goes through the Jin Yiwei's approval process, which is a bit puzzling.
