Dragon Pattern Roll Set

After Zhan Zhao and the others came out of Taixue, they somehow felt that they had been betrayed again. The real purpose of Lin Xiao telling them to go to Taixue was this...

However, the three idlers, Tianzun Yinhou and the youngest son, were still very interested, and were going to study how to participate in the competition of the Fourth Academy.

Zhan Zhao sighed.

Just now they asked Mr. Lin Xiao about the clue of the person who sent Zhu Yuaner's fan. Of course Mr. Lin did not know. Besides, the clues were not enough. Most of the students in Taixue are handsome scholars. Who exactly.

As soon as everyone left the gate of Taixue, Ouyang Chunhua and the others ran over, along with Zhao Lan and Yi Yi.

Chunhua asked, "Where are you going? To the haunted house?"

Everyone looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"We want to see that golden sculpture!" Zhao Lan's eyes were shining brightly, probably because she heard what Nangong told her back, so she wanted to see it for herself.

Zhan Zhao looked at Ge Qing, what does that mean—can Zhao Lan go?

Zhao Lan squinted at Ge Qing.

Ge Qing was helpless, "If everyone goes, there should be no problem."

At this time, Lin Xiao from the academy also came out with Master Lin.

Mrs. Lin was also interested in the gold sculpture, probably because Mrs. Wang went back to talk about it just now.

Zhan Zhao saw that it was still early in the sky and there were no clues, so why not take a walk, so... everyone turned to the Jin family's old house.

Tianzun grabbed Lin Xiao and said that his father owed him a picture of cedar trees, which made Lin Xiao baffled.

Knowing that Tianzun had a meeting with his father before the accident at his house, Lin Xiao became serious and promised to draw him pictures. He could draw anything he wanted, but he asked Tianzun to recall in detail what his father was with at that time. People talked to and there was nothing wrong with it.

When Zhan Zhao heard about the murder case ten years ago, he also found it a little strange, so he went to listen.

On the other side, Ouyang Shaozheng was chatting with Zhao Pu and the others, saying that Cao Lan and Jiang Yi were on duty these days, guarding the old house of the Jin family, and at night some soldiers said they had bumped into a ghost, which was very strange.

Bai Yutang was not interested in hauntings or old cases, so he walked slowly behind.

At the end of the line, there was a small carriage. Lin Yueyi and Zhao Lan were in the carriage, and Ge Qing was walking on the side of the carriage. At the door of the carriage, a yawning Lin Yehuo sat.

After all, Zhao Lan is a golden branch and jade leaf, so it's not easy to run around the street.

Bai Yutang glanced back, and saw Ge Qing beckoning to him suddenly.

Fifth Master slowed down a bit, and when the carriage came up from behind, the two walked side by side.

Ge Qing pointed to him in the carriage, but Bai Yutang was puzzled, so he listened to Zhao Lan talking to Yiyi in the carriage.

Yi Yi asked, "Are you sure?"

Zhao Lan seemed to be a little hesitant, "Well...it feels like it."

"Look carefully!" Yiyi lifted the door curtain of the car to let Zhao Lan see.

Lin Yehuo leaned against the door frame and looked at the two girls, "What are you looking at?"

Zhao Lan squinted at Tianzun, Lin Xiao, and Zhan Zhao who were walking side by side, scratching her head, "They really look alike, and their bodies seem to be about the same."

Bai Yutang looked at Ge Qing inexplicably.

Ge Qing said, "The princess said just now that Lin Xiao is very similar to the man in white who she saw in Master Lin's study that day, stealing books."

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, "Are you sure?"

Ge Qing shrugged his shoulders, what did that mean—you know what the princess’s eyes look like, she is hazy ten steps away, confused at twenty steps, men and women are not distinguished at thirty steps, people are not distinguished at forty steps, and people are not distinguished at fifty steps away. Just look at the starry sky.

Bai Yutang frowned, how could it be such a coincidence, but the only one who witnessed it had such a bad look in his eyes.

Lin Yehuo asked Zhao Lan, "The backs are similar, are you sure?"

Zhao Lan pouted, "Hmm...it feels..."

Bai Yutang looked at Lin Yehuo.

Lin Yehuo squinted his eyes to look at Lin Xiao's back, thinking, "Is this kid loyal or treacherous?"

"But Lin Xiao did a lot of hard work in finding the burned book that day." Bai Yutang frowned slightly, "I don't know it."

"Maybe it's because people are similar, maybe... it's trying to cover up." Lin Yehuo held his chin.

"It's not necessarily true, maybe I'm wrong!" Zhao Lan was afraid that there would be a misunderstanding, "Lin Xiao doesn't look like a bad guy either."

"There is a way to try him." Bai Yutang said, "Qiu Jian and the others who kidnapped the princess that day are still in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion. If Lin Xiao is behind the scenes, then Qiu Jian and the others should know him."

Everyone nodded.

Bai Yutang thought for a while, walked up a few steps, and whispered something to Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu raised his eyebrows slightly, called Zhe Ying and Zi Ying, and told them to bring Qiu Jian up and ask them to recognize Lin Xiao.

Everyone remained calm and continued to rush to the old house of the Jin family.

At the foot of Xishan Mountain, Zheying and Ziying came back. They had already carried Qiu Jian for a run just now, and glanced at it not far away. Qiu Jian shook his head and said that Lin Xiao was not the one who made a deal with them. That person looked a little more refined, and he didn't look like him.

Therefore, Bai Yutang and the others looked at Zhao Lan.

Zhao Lan sat in the carriage and rubbed her chin——was it really my mistake...

Everyone went to Xishan.

Zhao Lan and Yi Yi walked behind Bai Yutang. At this time, there was a roadblock set up by the Imperial City Army in front of him. Lin Xiao was helping Master Lin to go up. Turning over, he jumped over the roadblock gently and deftly.

Zhao Lan happened to see it, rubbed her chin and tilted her head, "Hmm..."

Bai Yutang turned his face slightly to the side, and noticed behind him that Zhao Lan obviously still had doubts.

Zhan Zhao who came to walk side by side with him also turned his head, wondering what happened to Zhao Lan.

"It's so similar!" Zhao Lan frowned, "Especially the movement of climbing over the fence just now is exactly the same as that person's movement of turning over the window, or am I remembering wrong?"

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang puzzled.

Bai Yutang whispered to him a few words.

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, "If you read it wrong, that's another matter, but if you read it right, if Lin Xiao is really the one who stole the book, at least explain something."

Bai Yutang nodded, "He may be the one who stole the books, but he may not be the one who arranged for Qiu Jian and the others to kidnap the princess and burn the bookshelves."

Zhan Zhao nodded, "Lin Xiao's background is not a big problem, but he came to Kaifeng not so much to study, but to investigate the cause of his parents' death."

While speaking, everyone arrived at a fork in the middle of the mountain.

Halfway up the mountain there is a small tent of the Imperial City Army. From here, there are two roads, one is to the back mountain, and the other is to the old house of the Shangjin family.

It's a coincidence that everyone came today, Cao Lan and Jiang Yi are in the same class.

Cao Lan was about to leave, and said to Jiang Yi, "Be careful at night."

Jiang Yi nodded.

Zhao Pu asked curiously, "Pay attention to what?"

Cao Lan crossed her arms and said, "Last night, a group of soldiers patrolling the Jin family's old house saw a female ghost, and two timid ones were frightened."

"Female ghost?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, thinking of the man in white who climbed the cliff to find a gap that day, thought she had escaped from the back mountain, did she turn back to the old Jin family house?

"This mansion has been destroyed!" Jiang Yi also frowned, "Several groups of soldiers have said that they saw ghosts at night, and people will panic if this continues."

Zhao Pu raised his eyebrows, "Find a cage and try to catch him!"

Cao Lan and Jiang Yi were helpless—as expected, the marshal wanted to catch and raise any monsters and ghosts he saw.

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang frowned. They definitely don’t believe in ghosts, but not only the Imperial City Army, but also other people who entered the house by mistake or wanted to steal have encountered ghosts in the house. Why did the ghosts stick to the Jin family’s old house and never leave? Woolen cloth?There is no lack of masters in the Imperial City Army, if they want to come and go without a trace without anyone noticing, then the kung fu of ghosts should be quite good.

Zhan Zhao wanted to stay here tonight to guard the ghost, and there were not a few people who had the same idea as Zhan Zhao.

Both Zhao Pu and Lin Yehuo were interested, so they made an appointment to guard the Jin family's old house tonight to see what the ghost was coming from!

……

After seeing the statue of the three-headed Jintuo, Ge Qing sent Zhao Lan back to the palace.

Master Lin Xiao was amazed at the giant statue. Lin Xiao stood in front of the golden statue with his face up and looked at it, seemingly thoughtful.

Reminded by Zhao Lan, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang paid more attention and observed Lin Xiao.

How should I put it, although this boy is young, he seems to have a lot of secrets.

Pang Yu crossed his arms and asked Lin Xiao, "Do you look silly?"

Lin Xiao came back to his senses, looked at Pang Yu, and shook his head hesitantly, "Uh..."

"What's the matter?" Bao Yan also leaned over, "This thing is even scarier to watch during the day than at night!"

The rest of the people nodded as well. Indeed, they didn't look scary at night, but they felt so demonic when they looked at them during the day, which probably had something to do with their ugly faces.

Lin Xiao was silent for a long time, then suddenly said, "I seem to have seen this thing before."

Everyone was stunned.

Zhan Zhao asked, "Have you seen the portrait or the real thing?"

"It's not a portrait, it's not the real thing...it's a tattoo." Lin Xiao whispered.

"Have you ever seen someone with this tattooed on their body?" Everyone was curious.

Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment, then said, "My father."

Everyone was stunned.

Tianzun was curious, "Are you the father who draws very well?"

Lin Xiao nodded, "My dad has this tattoo on his back, but there is only one head, the one on the left, and there are no other two."

While speaking, he stretched out his hand to cover the two snake heads in the middle and right of his line of sight, confirmed it again, and nodded, "That's right!"

"Didn't you ask your father about this tattoo when you were young?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Lin Xiao sighed, "My father seldom takes off his clothes, and he doesn't take a bath with me either. I saw him by accident when he ran into the room while taking a bath... Dad got angry and kicked me out."

Everyone frowned—was it a deliberate concealment?

"I was too young at that time. I asked my mother what was on my father's back. My mother's mouth moved, but I couldn't hear what she said." Lin Xiao was helpless, "But I always remember that mouth shape, Thinking about it later, I might have said...'sin'."

"Sin?" Everyone wondered.

Lin Xiao said, "I used to wonder if the tattoo on my dad's back had something to do with his death, but until just now I thought that the tattoo had only one head, and after looking at this thing, I realized that there were three heads."

"Then are there two missing tattoos on your father's back?" Pang Yu was curious, "Why are there two missing?"

Lin Xiao shook his head, expressing that he was not clear.

It's just...it's beyond everyone's expectation that the three-headed Jintuo and the murder case in the Jin family's old house are connected with the murder case that happened in Hangzhou Mansion ten years ago.

……

When everyone returned to Kaifeng Mansion, Zhan Zhao told Mr. Bao about the development of the matter. Mr. Bao also felt that the development was surprising, but Lin Xiao was undoubtedly a clue.

Zhan Zhao took some time to go to the stables to cuddle the pony. He hadn't seen him for a long time, and Zhan's guard felt a little bit of lovesickness, so he hugged the pony and went back to the yard with the pony in his arms.

In Gongsun's yard, there are a pair of skeletons sorted out last night, and Jin Shan's coffin is also parked.

Zhan Zhao put his arms around the pony and stared at the coffin for a long time, then suddenly ordered Chao Mahan, "Bring Qiu Jian here."

After a while, Qiu Jian was brought into the yard.

Bai Yutang opened the coffin lid.

Zhan Zhao asked Qiu Jian to see if the young man who traded with him was this person.

Qiu Jian was quite puzzled at first, "Dead?"

But when he walked to the coffin and saw Jin Shan's body in the coffin, he suddenly froze.

Bai Yutang saw that his face turned pale instantly. He looked like he had seen a ghost... Qiu Jian is a rough man, so he shouldn't be so afraid of corpses.

"Is it him?" Bai Yutang asked.

"Ah?" Qiu Jian snapped back to his senses, kept shaking his head, and spoke incoherently, "No... I don't know, I haven't seen." After finishing speaking, that means... Take me back to the prison immediately.

It can be clearly seen by everyone - it's so abnormal!

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other - originally they just wanted to try their luck, but Qiu Jian's reaction was a bit too much, right?

Zhan Zhao asked Chao Mahan to send Qiu Jian back to the cell, and brought the other two people who escaped with him to watch, but the two looked blank, saying that they had never seen Jin Shan.

Send everyone back to their cells.

Gongsun was puzzled, "Qiu Jian obviously knew Jin Shan."

"And he looks very scared." Zhao Pu held the teacup, "I thought it was strange before, why did he have to be chosen to escape from prison, it seems that the connection is here."

"Then ask him." Lin Yehuo folded his arms and looked at Zou Liang.

Zou Liang looked at Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows, "It's enough to scare and scare, don't use lynching."

Zou Liang nodded to show that he knew well, and took Ziying and Zheying to the cell for interrogation.

Everyone was looking forward to getting new clues from Qiu Jian.

However, Zou Liang came back after less than a cup of tea time.

Everyone looked at him, and Zhao Pu was also surprised, "Kungfu is good! You asked it so quickly?"

Zou Liang shook his head with a livid face, "Qiu Jian is dead."

"What?" Zhan Zhao stood up, "Did you die in the prison?"

Zou Liang's face was ugly, "I can't describe it, go and see for yourself."

Everyone looked at each other and hurried to the prison.

At this time, there were government servants at the gate of the prison, and a few guards stood at the gate and vomited.

Everyone was even more puzzled—what's going on?
