The willow leaves are slowly

Ye Hansheng and Liu Qingyin followed Ayi to the back of the wall, "Sister, I know about the matter between the dean and Sister Alian..."

"What's the matter?" Liu Qingyin asked.

"Sister, sister, please save me. I can't go back to the academy, otherwise I will be beaten to death by the dean." Ayi knelt on the ground with a plop in a crying voice.

"Ayi, get up quickly. Don't worry, I won't let you get hurt."

"Shengsheng, can we let him go back with us temporarily?" Liu Qingyin asked quietly.

Ye Hansheng nodded slightly and said, "Tell me everything you know, don't hide anything."

Ah Yi stood up, wiped his tears and said, "The dean... the dean's love for his hands has reached the level of obsession. I was kept by the dean because of my beautiful hands."

"Sister A-Lian has a pair of very beautiful hands. I often see the dean... the dean holding Sister A-Lian's hand in the study... in the study..." When Ayi said this, he found it very difficult to speak.

"Did the dean and Xue Ailian do something improper?" Liu Qingyin asked.

"It's not something wrong, I'm just very... very obsessed with Sister A-Lian's hands." Ayi said timidly.

Liu Qingyin and Ye Hansheng looked at each other and said, "Let's go back to the academy."

"Ayi, someone will take you there first, and we will come to find you later." Liu Qingyin instructed.

"Well, sister, you must pay attention to safety!"

The two quickly returned to Zhuqing Academy.

"Ayi! Now that your hand is injured, there is no need for you to stay with me!"

Zhang Wenshi called out angrily for Ayi, but he was nowhere to be seen. "Aren! Where's Ayi?"

Ah Ren heard this and hurried to the study room, "Replying to the dean, Ah Yi, Ah Yi is not in the academy!"

Zhang Wenshi thought for a moment, "Not good!" he cried in his heart.

"You...you go down first and ask Old Wu to prepare the carriage. I'm going out for a while. If anyone comes to look for me, just say I'm meeting a friend."

"Yes!" Ah Ren retreated respectfully.

Zhang Wenshi confirmed that there was no one outside the door, so he quickly opened the small ice room, took out the box, wrapped it up, and prepared to find a secluded place to throw it away.

Old Wu drove the carriage according to Zhang Wenshi's instructions. When they were near the outskirts of the city, he got off the carriage holding the box and asked Old Wu to go back. Before Old Wu could respond, Zhang Wenshi left without looking back.

He hurriedly found a weed-covered hill and was about to throw the box down when he heard a cold voice behind him.

"What is Dean Zhang doing?"

Zhang Wenshi turned his head and saw Ye Hansheng and Liu Qingyin not far away. He made up his mind and threw the box down the hill. As soon as the box left his hand, Zhuiying held it steadily, and Bufeng took the opportunity to capture Zhang Wenshi.

"Ah!" Perhaps the force of catching the wind was too great, Zhang Wenshi screamed.

"Dean Zhang, if I were you, I would hold the box and jump down, and be done with it." Liu Qingyin said.

Zhuiying handed the box to Ye Hansheng. Ye Hansheng used his folding fan to open the lid of the box, and a pair of hands suddenly appeared.

Shadow Pavilion, inside Mingjian Hall.

After examination by the coroner, it was confirmed that the hands belonged to Xue Ailian.

Liu Qingyin frowned and asked seriously, "Did you kill Xue Ailian?"

Zhang Wenshi knelt down in the hall with messy hair, not having the aura of a dean at all. He said sadly, "No, I didn't kill him!"

"Why is her hand here with you!"

"It was on the 14th. Someone left it at the door of the study. I heard about the rumor of the human pig case the next day."

Liu Qingyin continued to ask: "What's going on between you and Xue Ailian?"

Mr. Zhang said, "Because A-Lian's hands are extremely beautiful, I... I like her very much, so I kept her as a cleaning lady in the study. Day after day, every time I see her hands, I want... I want..." He found it difficult to speak.

"Keep talking!" Ye Hansheng's eyes were cold.

"But A-Lian just didn't agree, so I had to give up. I couldn't bear the desire. I couldn't go to ordinary brothels with my status. Even if I went, those girls couldn't satisfy me. I felt very uncomfortable. But one day, an invitation card appeared on my desk."

"What invitation?" Liu Qingyin asked.

"The invitation to Ye Mei Fang says: Ye Mei Fang can satisfy all your desires."

"Yemeifang? Where is it?"

"At the end of Liuzhi Lane on Xiyue Road, there is an inconspicuous house. In the dark room of the study in the house, Yemeifang is different from other places. Only those with invitations can enter." Zhang Wenshi slumped on the ground, weakly, and looked up at Ye Hansheng from time to time.

Liu Qingyin said angrily: "Keep talking!"

"After entering Yemeifang, the boss Pan Zian registered me. I paid the money and told her that I like... I like hands, and I must have the most beautiful hands."

"He called a row of girls who had their heads covered and only their hands exposed. I picked the one I liked the most. Boss Pan asked someone to take the girl back to her room to prepare. After a while, the servant led me to the door of a girl named Yingge's room. I pushed the door open and walked in front of Yingge. She...she was Ah Lian!"

"Did Xue Ailian recognize you?"

"I recognized her. Ah Lian was also surprised. Her name in Ye Mei Fang was Ying Ge, so I kept calling her Ying Ge. She was very different in Ye Mei Fang than she was on other days."

"How is it different?" Liu Qingyin asked.

Ye Hansheng took a sip of tea and said nothing.

"Alian is usually very reserved, but in Yemeifang she was very enthusiastic, full of temptation, and very proactive. It was a little awkward at first, but then she let go, and then we..."

Before Zhang Wenshi finished speaking, Liu Qingyin stopped him and said, "Stop, stop, stop. No need to describe the details!"

"You guys have maintained this relationship ever since?"

"Yes and no."

"Don't keep me in suspense, just speak up!"

"After that day, A-Lian came to the academy the next day. I wanted to be affectionate with her, but she was very resistant. It was nothing like what she did in Ye Mei Fang."

So, so when I think about her, I can only go to Yemeifang to find Yingge, that is, Alian. "

"God is my witness, I really didn't kill her!" Zhang Wenshi was crying and snotting, not knowing whether he was crying for himself or for A-Lian.

"Where did Dean Zhang go before receiving the invitation? Who did he meet?" Ye Hansheng asked.

"This... It's been so long, I can't remember it."

"Oh?" Ye Hansheng adjusted his sleeves and slowly approached Zhang Wenshi, saying in a cold voice, "Then would you like me to make some arrangements to help the dean recall it?"

Faced with this sudden feeling of oppression, Zhang Wenshi instantly broke out in a sweat.

"I...I usually stay in the academy and haven't been to any special places. I just go to Chengji Bakery to buy some cakes, occasionally go to the market, and go to Chaoyue Pavilion to look at the four treasures of the study..."

Zhang Wenshi tried hard to recall.

"At the end of every month, go to Hanlin Pavilion to meet with the deans of other academies to discuss matters related to the academy."

“And then I never went anywhere else…”

“Zhuiying, take Dean Zhang to identify the body!” Ye Hansheng’s tone was gentle, but his eyes were extremely sharp.

"Yes!"

Then Ye Hansheng gave Bufeng a few more instructions, and Bufeng nodded repeatedly.

Bufengsuizhuying dragged Zhang Wenshi to the morgue, and Zhang Wenshi kept complaining.

Soon Bufeng and Zhuiying dragged the vomiting Zhang Wenshi back to the front hall. Zhuiying whispered something in Ye Hansheng's ear. Ye Hansheng nodded slightly, took a sip of tea and said, "Do you recognize Dean Zhang?"

Zhang Wenshi’s face was pale, he kept retching, and nodded weakly.

"Do you recognize both of them?" Liu Qingyin put her hands behind her back and looked down at Zhang Wenshi who was slumped on the ground.

He collapsed on the ground and stammered.

Ye Hansheng walked to the chair closest to Zhang Wenshi and sat down. He leaned over to look at him and said with a smile, "Bring a cup of tea to the dean."

"Yes!" Acheng replied.

"Oh, by the way, the dean likes to drink Biluochun, which was given by His Majesty."

"Yes, son!"

Zhang the Scholar trembled with fear and kowtowed repeatedly, "Please forgive me, sir. I will tell you everything I know!"

"What is the dean doing? Just drinking a cup of tea."

Ah Cheng handed the tea to Zhang Wenshi, who shivered as he looked at the cup. He took the tea tremblingly and said, "I recognize them. I recognize both women."

"Please elaborate on this, Dean." Liu Qingyin said in a cold voice.

"The other woman's name is Yan Hong. She is also a very popular prostitute in Yemeifang. It is said that she specializes in receiving customers who like feet. That's all I know. I don't know anything else." Zhang Wenshi's hand trembled as he held the tea.

"Dean, have a cup of tea to moisten your throat." Ye Hansheng smiled lightly.

“Master Ye, Master Ye, I really don’t know anymore!” Mr. Zhang put the teacup on the ground and kowtowed.

"What is the dean doing?" Ye Hansheng gave him a gentle hand.

"I said, please have tea, Dean!"

Zhang Wenshi picked up the teacup, looked at the tea in front of him, trembling all over, a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He closed his eyes, looked ready to die, and drank the tea with his head tilted back.

A Cheng used the same teapot to pour a cup for Ye Hansheng and handed it to him respectfully.

Ye Hansheng took the teacup and took a sip. "What do you think of this Biluochun tea, Dean?"

Only then did Zhang Wenshi realize that there was no poison in the tea he drank. He let out a long sigh, and his pale face relaxed a little.

He wiped the sweat off his head with his sleeve and said, "Sir, your tea is very good. Very good."

At this time, the coroner came in and whispered something in Liu Qingyin's ear.

Liu Qingyin asked in surprise: "Uncle Bai, are you sure?!"
