Jiang Yousi has carried the wooden plaque for many years, and only regarded it as an ordinary piece of wood that Tao Buhuan picked up casually as a keepsake. Although the weight is indeed slightly heavier than other wooden pieces, he never thought that there would be something inside the wooden plaque. And a piece of thin iron!

Fortunately, Lao Zhang's eyesight is bright, although he is eating chicken, his spirit is unrelenting.

"My lord, give me the wooden sign, and I will take out the iron piece."

Jiang Yousi handed him the wooden sign.

After Lao Zhang handed over the lotus leaf chicken to Jiang Youbo to take care of, he went to the back hall to work for a while and then came out, holding the wooden sign in one hand and the taken out patch in the other, muttering: "There seem to be pictures and words on the iron plate, but I If you don't know how to read and can't understand the content, this kind of reasoning and judgment is most suitable for you, an adult, and I am only suitable for lotus leaf chicken."

Jiang Yousi took the wooden sign, and saw that the wooden sign was not damaged except for a little corner that had been burnt before.

Looking at the iron plate again, there are indeed pictures and words on it, but the technique of micro-carving is used, and the pictures and words are so delicate that they cannot be recognized at all.

Jiang Yousi remembered the concave-convex mirror given to him by Princess Changning. Maybe he could see the content clearly by borrowing the concave-convex mirror, but the concave-convex mirror had already been given to Xie Yicheng, and he still needed to find Xie Yicheng to borrow it.

So he put away the iron sheet, returned the wooden sign to Lao Zhang to keep it, and told him that this matter was related to the investigation of the case and should not be publicized.

Lao Zhang is an old man with sharp eyesight, as long as he has lotus leaf chicken, he doesn't care what he eats, so he cheated Jiang Youban of five lotus leaf chickens before he gave up.

Xie Yicheng ran out all day and didn't come back until evening.

Mr. Xie, who is usually handsome and handsome, is pouring herbal tea into his belly with a tired face.

"Lend me the concave-convex mirror." Jiang Yousi suddenly appeared beside him and ordered.

"Oh——" Xie Yicheng really carried it with him, and he didn't even want to take out the concave-convex mirror and hand it to Jiang Yousi, "Do you want this related to the investigation?"

"It's irrelevant..." Jiang Youpan opened his eyes and said nonsense, "How is your investigation today?"

Xie Yicheng opened his mouth, then held back, took another sip of water and said, "I won't tell you..."

Jiang Youpan smiled, took the concave-convex mirror and went back to the study to study the piece of iron.

I lit a candle, and saw a story described above through the concave-convex mirror: King Loulan once plundered treasures from all over the world, dug a huge pit and built a pagoda to collect countless treasures in it.

Later, the pagoda was completely covered with soil, and after the Loulan Kingdom was destroyed, the pagoda disappeared.

Jiang Yousi sighed after reading it, shook his head and thought: This is another treasure hunting story.

It seems that General Tao Huanbei discovered the pagoda when he was fighting, and engraved the map on the iron plate, and then passed it to me and Taobuchang...

But Lu Yan knew the purpose of this wooden sign, so he took it away from Tao Buhuan.

But why gather this group of old, weak, sick and disabled in Gyeonggi?

Jiang Youban still couldn't figure it out.

She picked up a pen and wrote and drew on the rice paper: the deceased one or two, Mrs. Zhou and his niece;

The third deceased was Yang Nie's lame old father; the fourth deceased was the mother of a wealthy businessman; the fifth deceased was the assassin Lu Yan...

If you don't consider the deceased in this case for the time being, they are all more or less related to the previously solved cases.

And even more coincidentally, these cases are all related to Maigulou.

Jiang Yousi circled the word "Lu Yan", stopped writing and watched quietly.

"Is there something your lord is hiding from me?" Suddenly a voice came out, Jiang Yousi looked sideways at the window that had been opened at some time, and there was a person standing outside, this person was wearing blue casual clothes, with a pair of eyes Staring at Jiang Youpan closely, after staring for a while, he slowly shifted his gaze to the rice paper in front of Jiang Youpan. After a long time, he opened his mouth and said, "Lu Yan? Could it be the assassin Lu Yan who bought the bone building?"

Jiang Youpan was stunned, she didn't even notice when Xie Yicheng came over quietly.

I moved half an inch to cover what was written on the table, but later I felt that this was like deception.

So he gave up, and simply spread it out generously, letting Xie Yicheng see it thoroughly.

Xie Yicheng didn't go around the front door, but directly flew over the window and landed, and arrived in front of Jiang Youpan in three or two steps. He looked down at the words on the rice paper and was silent for a moment, then said: "So you have already found out their identities. , why didn't you tell me? Why did you still make that bet with me? Do you treat me like a fool and let you play?"

"I don't want you to get too involved."

"Why?" Xie Yicheng suppressed his anger, gritted his teeth and asked these three words.

"Because you are innocent, I can't save the Xie family, but I hope I can save you." I don't want you to be like me back then, and I don't want the Xie family to be like the Tao family and Jiang family back then. .

Xie Yicheng didn't seem to understand this sentence, and suddenly stretched out his hand towards Jiang Youpan, grabbed her neck, and strangled Jiang Youpan's breath forcefully.

"You don't tell me anything, you take me for a fool!" He roared with his eyes wide open and his face hideous.

Jiang Youpan had trouble breathing, and her face turned from blue to purple. She didn't expect Xie Yicheng to be so aggressive. She wanted to yell for help, but no matter what, she couldn't make a sound. She stretched out her hand towards the door, struggling to survive, but All in vain...

Do not--

I can't die--

In a daze, she seemed to see Taobuhuan standing there outside the opened door, watching all this quietly with a blank expression.

If you don’t change the peach, you—you are here, won’t you save me?

Seeing Taobuchang who continued to watch the fire from the other side, Jiang Youpan's heart became colder a little.

The request for help had been indifferently rejected, and Jiang Youpan's voice of Taobuhuan laughing beside him kept ringing in his ears, and every time it sounded, his heart ached.

When she was gradually losing consciousness, she saw a man in a four-clawed tuanlong suit walking towards Tao Buhuan. Tao Buhuan smiled when he saw him, with the bright smile she used to see on her face.

Seeing the two of them walking away hand in hand with their backs turned to her, Jiang Youpan closed her eyes in disappointment. She couldn't tell whether it was the fear caused by suffocation or the fact that she would not change her love for Tao when she faced her. Fear is stronger...

"Master Jiang, Master Jiang?! Wake up..." Someone was shaking his body.

Jiang Youpan opened his eyes dimly, and saw a caring face.Xie Yicheng came in and found Jiang Yousi lying on the table and fell asleep with sullen face, he wanted to close the door quietly and leave.

But when he heard Jiang Youbi calling his name in his sleep, his forehead was sweating and his body was trembling uncontrollably, he decided to come in and wake Jiang Youbi up after some hesitation.

Seeing Jiang Youpan open his eyes, Xie Yicheng heaved a sigh of relief and said, "What did you dream about just now?"

It took Jiang Youpan a while to come back to his senses. On the rice paper she was lying on her stomach, she wrote the names of several victims and Lu Yan, and Xie Yicheng must never find out.So he stiffened and replied, "I was dreaming?"

"Not only were you dreaming, but you also called me by my name." Xie Yicheng was a little dazed looking at her sleepy eyes and disheveled bun, thinking that it would be great if Jiang Youba was a woman.

After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Xie Yicheng turned his face away, turned around and poured tea for Jiang Youpan, and said while pouring the tea, "You said in your sleep that Yicheng was the most elegant and handsome man you've ever seen, even you can't compare. "

Seeing that his back was turned to him, Jiang Youpan hurriedly looked at the words on the rice paper, and actually amused himself when he saw it.

The handwriting on the rice paper has long been blurred. When I just fell asleep, my saliva flowed all over the table, but now it has all melted away.

Stretching out his hand, he loosened his muscles and bones, and Xie Yicheng brought tea just in time.

"The tea is a bit cold, you drink some first, and I'll get someone to bring it to you later."

"Thank you..." Jiang Youpan took a sip of tea, and then asked, "Didn't you go to investigate the case and come back so soon?"

"I can't do anything about the investigation, so I came back early to see what you are investigating with my concave-convex mirror..."

Xie Yicheng glanced at the iron sheet in Jiang Youpan's hand, "What is this iron sheet, you borrowed the concave-convex mirror to check it?"

"I got this piece of iron by accident in a place. It has nothing to do with the case, but I'm just interested." Jiang Youbi said, "If you don't believe me, you can take it and have a look."

Xie Yicheng took the iron sheet and the concave-convex mirror in his hand and studied it for a while, and finally snorted: "Don't think about it, let me waste time. I came today to see that you have no progress, my lord, and I came here to urge you. I hope my lord will not underestimate the enemy, if you let me win too easily, it will damage your reputation as a detective."

You are actually here to see what I am doing with the concave-convex mirror, Jiang Youpan thought.

"Don't worry, I won't let you win." Jiang Youbi smiled back.

After Xie Yicheng left, Jiang Youpan wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.The dream just now was so real, so real that she still has lingering fears.

It turned out that what she was most worried about was not whether the case could be investigated clearly, but——

Is Tao Buhuan still by her side?

The night was dark and the wind was cool, Jiang Yousi returned to her residence, and as the emperor of Dali Temple, she was given a three-entry house with a single family and courtyard.

The former minister of Dali Temple had 30 servants. Only Jiang Yousi liked to be clean. There was only one girl in charge of cleaning, the cook in the kitchen and one errand boy.

While analyzing the case of the five charred corpses in the study, Jiang Yousi heard someone knocking lightly on the door.

strangeness?Who will knock on my door in the middle of the night?It can't be that peaches don't change, because with the character of peaches that don't change, you can jump over the wall and come in. You will never knock on the door so dutifully and enter from the main entrance.

Then came several eager knocks on the door.

Jiang Yousi opened the door, and was very surprised when he saw the door: "Why are you?"
