Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Zhan Zhao and the others left the Grand Master and rushed to find Shen Yan.

As they walked, Zhao Pu asked hesitantly, "Do you think that Shen Yan is still alive?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone couldn't help but whispered in their hearts.

The little four who was dozing off on Zhao Pu's shoulder raised his head, yawned, rubbed his head twice and continued to sleep.

Everyone was silent for a while.

Gongsun said, "According to the long-standing law..."

Bai Yutang nodded, "Shen Yan guessed that the disaster is more than good."

Zhan Zhao looked around, "Don't tell me you're sick and recuperating at home, don't scare yourself!"

The other three looked at him rather helplessly——Shen Yan was obviously an important insider, and the rest of them were all dead, so let him stay for no reason, right?

"But since I said that I haven't seen anyone for several days, maybe it's really not good. I hope it's just sick or pretending to be sick..." Zhan Zhao felt that if Shen Yan had something wrong, then his own bad luck The name is probably confirmed.

Everyone came to the door of Shen Yan's house anxiously, and took a visual inspection... It didn't look like a funeral.

Zhan Zhao stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door was opened a crack, an old man looked out, and said, "My master doesn't see any guests."

Zhan Zhao took out the badge of Kaifeng Mansion, "I want to talk to Shen Yan about something, Dean Shen."

The old man froze for a moment, and opened the door.

It was already late at this time, he probably didn't see it clearly just now, but now the door opened, he could clearly see that it was Zhan Zhao who was at the door.

"Master Zhan...my master is not here." The old man replied.

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, "I went to the academy to look for him just now, didn't I say he was sick and recuperating at home? Why isn't he here?"

"My master suddenly said seven days ago that he had something to go on a long trip, and he also ordered that if anyone asked, he said that he was sick and recuperating, and that he would thank all guests in the near future." return."

Zhan Zhao frowned, "Didn't he say anything else?"

The old man shook his head, "He left in a hurry..." As he spoke, he asked Zhan Zhao anxiously, "Is something wrong with the master?"

Zhan Zhao asked, "Can I go to his study?"

The old man nodded and let Zhan Zhao in without stopping.

That old man is the housekeeper of Shen's residence, and Shen Yan is also the head of a courtyard at any rate, the house is naturally not shabby, and the smell of books is quite strong.

Zhan Zhao followed the housekeeper to Shen Yan's study, and the housekeeper said to call his wife, the whole family was actually quite worried about Shen Yan, after all, it was abnormal to leave so suddenly.

Zhan Zhao and the others looked around in his study.

Shen Yan still has some taste. There are several calligraphy and paintings hanging in the study, all of which are excellent works. It can be seen from the books and decorations that he has dabbled in a wide range.

Bai Yutang looked at the desk, and there were half-read papers on the desk, all of which were paintings and calligraphy by students of Yuanqing Academy.

At this time, footsteps came from outside.

A beautiful woman in a plain white dress came in and bowed to everyone.

Zhan Zhao walked over and returned the gift.

The housekeeper introduced that this is Madam.Shen Yan has only one wife, and the difference between the two is more than ten years, and they have no children.

Everyone observed this Mrs. Shen, who was only in her early twenties by visual inspection, and Shen Yan should not be too old, in her 40s.This woman looks knowledgeable and reasonable, with outstanding temperament.

The woman was a little anxious and asked, "Master Zhan, but what happened to my husband?"

Zhan Zhao said, "We just want to ask him about someone, does Madam know where he has gone?"

Mrs. Shen frowned, "I just don't know. The whole family is worried. He has never been such a person who has never explained. If he hadn't ordered him not to report to the authorities, I would have reported to Kaifeng mansion a few days ago."

"Report the crime?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled.

"My husband-in-law suddenly said that he was going to leave seven days ago, and he left in the middle of the night. Before he left, he told me that no matter who asked, he said he was sick and recuperating, and he was not allowed to make any noise or report to the officials. He would come back when the time came. "

"When will you be back?" Gongsun was puzzled, "When will you be back?"

Mrs. Shen shook her head, "I always feel weird these few days. It seems that someone broke into his study that day."

The butler also nodded, "It feels like the study has been turned over, and the maids also said they saw a figure."

Bai Yutang asked, "Why did he leave suddenly? Were there any signs before he left?"

"This..." Mrs. Shen hesitated for a moment.

Zhan Zhao said, "Mrs. Shen, Dean Shen might be in danger. The safest way is for us to find him first."

Madam Shen nodded, and said, "It's like this... After he learned that Xie Yiting died in the old Jin family's house that day, he was very nervous and left that night!"

"Did he take anything with him?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"He brought a bag, and he didn't know what it contained." Mrs. Shen was helpless.

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, then looked at Bai Yutang, "Let Yaoyao try?"

Bai Yutang nodded, walked out of the study, went to the roof and whistled.

Zhan Zhao asked Mrs. Shen, "Do you have any of Shen Yan's clothes?"

Mrs. Shen took Shen Yan's coat and hat out.

After a while, the shadow hovered over his head, and Yaoyao landed in the yard, rubbing his head against Bai Yutang when he landed.

Bai Yutang patted it, and took Shen Yan's clothes for it to smell.

Yaoyao smelled it, and flew out with flapping wings.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang followed suit.

After all, this is near Shen Yan's home, and there should be a lot of smells from Shen Yan. Yaoyao wandered around for a long time, and finally flew out along the long street.

Zhan Zhao and the others followed along.

Yaoyao finally landed at the gate of Yuanqing Academy, wagging her tail and looking at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other... Shen Yan should have walked this road frequently, and Yaoyao was probably disturbed by the smell.

Bai Yutang motioned for it, and then looked for another way.

Yaoyao tilted her head to look at Bai Yutang.Flying to the top of the wall of Yuanqing Academy, I flapped my wings twice, which means-here here!

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao are helpless... It seems that there is no hope. After all, Yaoyao is not a human being, and it is difficult to express it clearly.

At this time, Zhao Pu and Gongsun also came.

Zhao Pu stretched out his hand and patted the buttocks of the sleepy little Sizi in his arms.

The fourth son raised his head, reached out to rub his buttocks, and looked around.

Zhao Pu asked him, "Oh, where is the person we are looking for?"

The fourth son yawned and pointed.

Everyone will see... He was referring to the gate of Yuanqing Academy.

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, and looked at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang also felt a little subtle - could it be that someone else is in Yuanqing Academy?

Gongsun also came over, "Could it be that the master of the academy lied to us?"

Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "There's no reason."

After thinking about it, Zhan Zhao stepped forward and knocked on the closed door of the academy.

After a while, someone came to open the door.

Because Yuanqing Academy is all local students in Kaifeng, the academy is closed at night, and there is only one old man who guards the door.

The old man opened the door and looked at Zhan Zhao and the others puzzled.

Zhan Zhao waved to him, signaling him to come out.

When the old man went out, Zhan Zhao said to him, "A fugitive escaped in."

The old man was startled.

Zhan Zhao said, "Go back to sleep first, we'll just catch him."

The old man nodded and nodded, and ran away in a hurry.

Zhan Zhao and the others looked at each other and entered Yuanqing Academy.

There are dark lights and blind lights in the academy.

The shadow guards found lanterns and lit them, illuminating the surroundings.

Bai Yutang patted Yaoyao, motioning for it—look for it!

Yao Yao wobbled and walked forward, Zhan Zhao and others followed behind.

Not long after, Yaoyao came to the door of a study room and began to tilt her head to look at the study room.

Zhan Zhao walked over, pushed, and the study door opened, but it was still pitch black inside.

The shadow guards lit up the lights. Judging from the layout of the study room, it was somewhat similar to the study room in Shen Yan's home. It should be his study room in the academy, right?

Yaoyao squeezed through the door, and after turning around a few times, she began to pull on a wall.

Bai Yutang walked over, tapped the wall with his hand, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Everyone saw Fifth Master looking around, turning the vase around, breaking the candlestick twice... In short, moving here and there, and finally...there was a click.

Bai Yutang raised his head, and everyone saw that the wall that had been yanked just now turned outwards, a crack appeared in the door, and light appeared inside.

At the same time, I heard a "click" from inside, as if something had fallen to the ground, and there were panicked footsteps.

Zhan Zhao shouted inside, "Dean Shen, don't be afraid, I'm Zhan Zhao."

……

After Zhan Zhao finished speaking, the busy voice inside stopped... Afterwards, footsteps were heard.

After a while, the door was pushed open, and a white and fat middle-aged man appeared behind the door, and smiled awkwardly at Zhan Zhao and the others.

Zhao Pu rubbed his chin, it turned out that Shen Yan was hiding.

Gongsun said in a low voice, "It seems that he is quite shrewd. If he didn't hide, he might have died like Xie Yiting and the others."

Zhao Pu nodded.

Shen Yan came out, "Master Zhan... why are you here?"

Zhan Zhao folded his arms and looked at him, "Let's ask Mrs. Shen about someone."

Shen Yan smiled and asked, "Who are you asking?"

"Lin Ziwen."

When Zhan Zhao said these three words, Shen Yan's face turned pale. Everyone looked at his forehead sweating profusely, probably he knew a lot.

Zhao Pu asked, "You hid to show that you were in danger for your life. Since you were afraid of losing your life, why didn't you come to Kaifeng Mansion to surrender? What did you do?"

"No... I don't have one!" Shen Yan kept shaking her head.

Zhan Zhao went to the table and sat down, motioning for him to come and sit too.

Shen Yan came over, sat down with the others, looked up at Zhan Zhao and the others, and sighed, "I'm scared and hiding...what does it have to do with Ziwen? We haven't seen each other for more than ten years."

Everyone looked at each other, what did Shen Yan say?Didn't he know that Lin Ziwen was dead?

"Why are you hiding?" Zhan Zhao didn't explain clearly to him, and asked first.

"Because Xie Yiting is dead, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape this catastrophe." Shen Yan was helpless, "But since the Kaifeng Mansion took over this matter, maybe we can find out and catch the murderer, so I can come out."

"Do you know who killed Xie Yiting?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"It's not very clear...but I know why Xie Yiting died." Shen Yan whispered.

Zhan Zhao motioned him to continue talking.

"You probably have already found out that Xie Yiting would do some things to sell stolen goods for others in private." Shen Yan said in a low voice, "He always walks at night, and sooner or later he will encounter a ghost... His death should be related to him recently It is related to a batch of goods."

"Goods?" Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "What kind of goods?"

"It's a batch of gold wares." Shen Yan opened her mouth, and before she finished speaking, Zhao Pu suddenly called, "Be careful!"

Immediately, Zhan Zhao threw Shen Yan smoothly, Zhao Pu hugged the fourth son and Gongsun Yimao's waist... Bai Yutang kicked over the table, blocking several people.

At the same time, there were a few "swish" sounds... more than a dozen silver needles were nailed to the table.

The voice of the shadow guard came from outside, "Who is it!"

Bai Yutang went out.

Ziying and Zheying are chasing after them.

Fifth Master also chased him out.

Zhan Zhao ran outside and also went up to the roof.

At this moment, Bai Yutang was standing on the roof not far away, turned his head and shook his head at him, signaling that...he had already escaped.

Zhan Zhao looked at the dark streets and alleys. The Kaifeng Night Market had not yet ended. The roof where Bai Yutang was standing was conveniently the most lively Nantian Street in Kaifeng. There were many people at night. If you blend in with the crowd, you won't be able to find it.

Bai Yutang came back and asked Ziying and Zheying who they saw just now.

Zhe Ying said, "A shadow will pass in a flash."

Ziying also nodded, "The movement is so fast, the hidden weapon just appeared and left, we have no time to chase."

Zhe Ying also frowned, "I seem to see half of them."

"I really don't have dazzle!" Ziying clapped her hands, "That figure feels transparent!"

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang saw a figure jumping off the roof just now, moreover, that person did seem to be transparent, acting strangely, or he was wearing some strange clothes, almost blending into the night, if it wasn't for the breath, he wouldn't have noticed it at all .

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang returned to the house.

Seeing that the fourth son also woke up, Gongsun stood beside him holding him.

Zhao Pu was looking at a few silver needles on the table, while Shen Yan, who was frightened, was standing aside, staring at the silver needles on the table in a daze.

Gongsun said, "There is no poison in the needle, but the needle is a bit strange."

Zhan Zhao also took a closer look and found that it was not an ordinary embroidery needle, but a serpentine needle!The whole needle looks like a snake, and it glows under the moonlight. From a distance, I thought it was a silver needle, but when I looked closely, it turned out to be a golden needle!This hidden weapon is too expensive, right?

Bai Yutang looked at the needle and nodded, "It's pure gold."

Zhan Zhao raised his head, looked at Shen Yan, and wanted to ask him if he knew who was plotting against him, but at this moment, Shen Yan's face was ashen.If Gongsun hadn't checked that he wasn't injured, everyone would have thought he had been poisoned.

Zhao Pu looked at Gongsun.

Gongsun said in a low voice, "He was frightened."

Even if someone plotted against Shen Yan, there was no reason for him to be so frightened, and... He stared straight at the snake-shaped needles and swallowed.

"Dean Shen." Zhan Zhao called him several times before Shen Yan came back to his senses, "Huh?"

"You haven't finished talking just now." Zhan Zhao said, "Do you want to go to Kaifeng Mansion to talk?"

However, before Zhan Zhao could finish speaking, Shen Yan suddenly turned around and ran to the bookshelf to look through things.

Zhan Zhao and the others looked at each other and walked over to have a look.

I saw Shen Yan rummaging through boxes and cabinets for a long time, finally found a box, opened it...the box was empty.

"It's gone!" Shen Yan seemed to be stimulated by something, "It's gone! Who took it away!"

Zhan Zhao frowned, "Don't get excited, what's missing?"

"It's gone! It's gone!" Shen Yan's emotions became more and more agitated, and she trembled. It was as if she had lost her life.

At this time, Gongsun felt that the fourth son was pulling his hand, and lowered his head, he saw the fourth son pointing at the back of Shen Yan whose back was facing him, and said, "Daddy, look, snake head."

Everyone was stunned...Looking in the direction of Xiao Sizi's finger, they saw that the back of Shen Yan's clothes was torn, which should have been scratched when he fell to the ground just now.He lived underground, probably because of the sweltering heat, so he only wore a single layer of clothes. At this time, a tattoo of a snake's head appeared on the exposed back of the clothes.

Zhao Pu stretched out his hand and tore open the skirt of his shirt.

When everyone saw it, they all frowned—they saw a tattoo of a "monster" on Shen Yan's back, with a human body and a snake head, and only one head... It was very similar to the three-headed golden tuo dug out of Xishan, the only difference was that , two heads are missing.
