Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Chapter 526 [Ghost Knows]

It's one thing for Zhan Zhao to admit defeat, but it's another thing for three murders to happen in just two days.

Zhan Zhao and others entered the palace together with Zhao Pu, asking as they walked, "Who died in the palace?"

Zhao Pu also seemed to find this strange, "A steward of Longtu Pavilion."

"Longtu Pavilion?" Everyone was shocked.

"Are there any scrolls in the Longtu Pavilion?" Zhan Zhao hurriedly asked.

Zhao Pu was stunned for a moment, "Ah? You mean someone stole the books and killed the steward? Then who would have known...there are so many books and files in Longtu Pavilion."

"Is it strange that the corpse is dead?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Zhao Pu was puzzled, "How is it strange?"

"Is there anything stuck in the neck?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Zhao Pu shook his head, "No, I thought it was an accidental fall to death, but Doctor Wang took a look and said to inform Kaifeng Mansion, it was beaten to death by someone."

Gongsun heard it and nodded, "If Doctor Wang said so, there should be no problem."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other. If he hadn't died of something strange stuck in his neck, then it should have nothing to do with the previous two cases.But they died in LongTu Pavilion again... They happened to go to LongTu Pavilion to find the directory of that year.

When everyone arrived at Longtu Pavilion, they saw that not only Imperial Physician Wang was there, but Master Bao was also there.

Doctor Wang was next to the corpse. The old doctor's favorite in this life was Gongsun. When he saw him coming, he hurriedly called him over. Without further ado, he stuffed an orange into his hand, and he didn't know where the orange came from.

Zhao Pu put the fourth son down, and the fourth son carried the small medicine box and ran over with Gongsun, while Imperial Physician Wang continued to stuff oranges.

Zhan Zhao went to Mr. Bao's side and gave a general account of what happened this morning.

Master Bao frowned, and asked Bao Yan and Pang Yu to go in with the other two stewards to find out if there were any books missing.

Bai Yutang glanced at the corpse... the dead man was an old man, not too young.The people in charge of Longtu Pavilion are all very old, and they usually don't fight with the world, so it shouldn't be a vendetta.

Gongsun unbuttoned the dead man's skirt and took a look, then turned his head and told everyone, "A slap to the chest kills him, the strike is quick."

Chunhua often came to Longtu Pavilion and knew this old man, "Isn't this Uncle Yang!"

Lin Xiao obviously knew him too, stomping his feet, "Who is so cruel to do this kind of murder..."

Zhao Pu folded his arms and looked at the chaos at the scene, and asked Bai Yutang, who was also standing outside watching the situation, "What do you think?"

Bai Yutang said, "Did you throw away the book?"

"Did you lose it?" Zhao Pu continued to ask, the Ninth Prince hadn't been here for most of the day, so he didn't know what happened.

"Probably irrelevant to the case."

"Did you lose it?" the prince continued to ask.

Bai Yutang looked at Longtu Pavilion, "Unfortunately, Uncle Yang bumped into the murderer who came to steal the book, and he was murdered to silence him."

Zhao Pu frowned, "The old man died in vain?"

"Probably by accident, I saw the murderer..."

As soon as Bai Yutang finished speaking, Long Tugeli and Bao Yan hurried out, "It's gone! The file is gone!"

Master Bao frowned, "What file?"

"All the student lists of Taixue are lost!" Bao Yan was excited.

The other stewards of Longtuge behind him also felt baffled, "Why are you stealing that thing?"

Bai Yutang suddenly asked, "Then what about the files related to the murder case in the old Jin family house?"

Everyone was stunned.

Bao Yan quickly turned back.

Not long after, I saw him running out, "It's gone too!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay - it really had something to do with the old Jin family house.

At this time, Nangong came running, probably because Zhao Zhen knew that there was a murder case in the palace and asked him to take a look.

To be precise, Longtu Pavilion did not belong to the jurisdiction of the palace guards, but it was indeed within the scope of the palace, so it was not easy to get in and out. The murderer must be someone with high martial arts skills.

Nangong Ji found the guards who were in charge of patrolling nearby, and no one noticed anything unusual.

There are many stewards in Longtuge, and there are three people on duty every time, and there are two other people with Uncle Yang today.

Longtu Pavilion was usually locked up, and the three of them mainly repaired the files and books in the front office. When someone came to find the files, they helped to bring them in to find them.Because there is a huge amount of books in Longtu Pavilion, it is difficult for ordinary people to find where the books are.To enter Longtu Pavilion, you must have Master Bao's documents.In addition, to view the dossiers, you need the token of Kaifeng Mansion or the approval document of Dali Temple. Lin Xiao’s documents can also be entered, because students of Taixue can go to Longtu Pavilion to borrow books, but they cannot enter the area where the dossiers are stored. Very strict.

Nangong brought Zhao Zhen's oral instructions, telling Bao Zheng to investigate thoroughly and never let the murderer go.

Lord Bao asked Zhan Zhao to bring more people to thoroughly check the old house of the Jin family, and he himself went back to Kaifeng mansion first, and asked Chao Mahan to gather all the servants of the Jin family who were still alive back then to Kaifeng mansion, and he wanted to question him.

Pang Yu crossed his arms and asked Mr. Lin in a low voice, "Oh, old man, isn't there three places where the names of Taixue students are hidden? Where is the other one? It's better to act first!"

Gongsun also nodded, "That's right, don't be preempted again."

Master Lin said, "That place should not be lost..."

"Which place is it?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

Master Lin said, "The emperor's study."

Everyone touched their chins—this...should be safe.

Master Lin saw that everyone was going to see Zhao Zhen, so he handed over the list of freshmen to Zhan Zhao, and said, "Please help me submit it to the emperor."

Zhan Zhao looked at him, "Master, are you not going?"

Master Lin sighed, looked at the corpse of Uncle Yang who was going to be sent to Kaifeng Mansion for autopsy, and waved his hands, "Oh, I'm in no mood anymore, I'll go back to Taixue first."

Everyone watched the old master turn around and walk out, with gloomy expressions.

Lin Xiao looked at the crowd, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything in the end, he quickly followed and went back with Master Lin.

Pang Yu rubbed his chin and frowned, "The old man has suffered another blow."

"A lot of people died recently, and the study was burned down, so I'm probably a little worried." Chunhua also nodded.

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang also frowned slightly.

At this moment, the two had similar thoughts—Master Lin seemed a little strange, did he think of something?

Zhao Pu was curious, who is the young man behind Lin Xiao?You look pretty good at it, the bodyguard you invited?

"Daddy, shall we go to Huanghuang's place?" the fourth son asked, holding Gongsun's hand.

Everyone came back to their senses.

Gongsun nodded, "Yes."

"Let's go see Xiangxiang." The fourth son took Gongsun's hand and ran away.

Everyone turned to the palace.

Zhao Pu seemed to be somewhat interested in the case, so he followed Gongsun and the fourth son to ask what was going on.

When he arrived at the gate of the garden where Zhao Zhen's study was located, the Ninth Prince roughly understood all the murders that happened in the past two days, and said with emotion, "This murderer has a strong taste..."

At the gate of the garden, there were naturally guards guarding the entrance, but when they saw the little four running ahead, the guards let them in without telling them. It was clear that Zhao Zhen had ordered that the little four could enter as they wished.

Everyone silently glanced at the fourth son again—it's really good...Look at this treatment.

As soon as the fourth son entered the door, he heard a voice, "Little persimmon!"

Everyone judged from the softness of the voice that it was Xiangxiang.

Look again, as expected, Xiangxiang has already pounced on the fourth son, and Pang Yu, who also rushed out to hug his niece, stomped his feet, "You two can't understand the relationship between men and women!" Before he could finish speaking, Bao Yan kicked him, "What nonsense are you talking about?" you!"

Zhao Zhen was standing in the yard and yawning at the moment, and everyone obviously saw that his eyes lit up a little bit when he looked over, and his eyes seemed to say——I'm bored, here comes the fun.

Everyone inexplicably understood the reason why Master Lin Xiao didn't want to come. His friend had just died, so he must not be in the mood to tease Zhao Zhen right now.

Zhao Zhen took the directory given to him by Zhan Zhao, smiled helplessly, and asked, "Is Mr. Lin angry with me because of the exchange with the Fourth Court?"

Everyone silently glanced at him—knowing that you still agreed, lest the world would not be chaotic.

"Master Lin seems to be in a bit of trouble." Zhan Zhao spoke for Lin Xiao. At the same time, he also felt that although Zhao Zhen liked to watch the excitement, he was not confused. He respected Lin Xiao very much and would not sincerely cause trouble for him.

Zhao Zhen smiled and said very relaxedly, "It's okay, he can handle it."

Zhao Pu asked Gongsun curiously, "What kind of monastery exchange? Do the monks have a meeting?"

Gongsun looked at Zhao Pu helplessly.

Zhao Zhen flipped through the list, and asked Zhan Zhao and the others what they were doing in such a large group, and whether they were looking for a list of students from the Imperial College.

Zhan Zhao nodded, sure enough, Zhao Zhen's eyeliner was everywhere in the palace, Zhao Zhen probably knew everything about their conversation at the gate of Longtu Pavilion, but it was true, after all, people died in the palace, it would be strange if Zhao Zhen didn't know.

"Alas..." Zhao Zhen sighed, "Which year's directory are you looking for?"

Everyone was taken aback, looking at Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen spread his hands, "Only within ten years."

"What about the earlier one?" Zhao Pu wondered.

"The study was moved once ten years ago, and there were too many files to fit. Most of them were left in Juanzang Pavilion." Zhao Zhen said.

"That's over." Zhao Pu said, "The Juanzang Pavilion was destroyed by a fire that year."

Zhao Zhen nodded.

Everyone frowned—then... isn't the clue broken? !

"But you can go find someone." Zhao Zhen provided another clue when everyone was disappointed.

Everyone is looking at Zhao Zhen eagerly - don't gasp!Finish in one breath!

"Master Chen, who is in charge of the keys in the archives in the palace, do you still remember?" Zhao Zhen asked.

Everyone nodded, Master Chen Ming, the old man is 97 years old, his reaction is so slow!If you ask him a word, you have to wait half an hour before he gives you an answer. Before answering, the old man has to sleep first.

The corners of Zhan Zhao's mouth twitched, they went to find some files before, okay, it took a long time for a key.

"Does he have savings there?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, pointed to his head, "He has a deposit here."

Everyone was puzzled.

"Master Chen has an unforgettable memory. When I moved the study room ten years ago, the rest of the books were put into Juanzang Pavilion. He asked me if I could go in to read the books. I gave him the key. He should have read them all. It's passed, as long as he flips it over, he won't forget it. Which year's directory do you want, just ask the old man to write it down for you. He can write faster than he can speak, but his hands are shaking a little." Zhao Zhen patted it with a smile Zhan Zhao, gossip, "By the way, how are you thinking about teaching the Taixue? Are you interested in getting involved in the exchange of the four courtyards? Let's play together? I haven't seen anyone serious for a long time. It's been pinched."

The exhibition is full of hope.

Zhao Pu also raised his forehead, Zhao Zhen is indeed free, before he asked whether he would take Duoduo to the stable in the palace to have a baby, he also wanted to see the birth of a pony or something.Later, the Eighth King complained, "If you are so free, find the noble concubines to give birth to seventeen, eight or nine children!"

Zhao Zhen also reflected that he was probably the first emperor in history who was asked by his ministers to live a life of licentiousness...

Zhan Zhao and others left the fourth son to Zhao Zhen and Xiangxiang, and ran to find Master Chen.

Mrs. Chen lived reclusively, so he should be in the archives at the moment. For no reason, Zhan Zhao and the others walked very fast.The murderer seemed to be doing everything possible to destroy the list back then, wouldn't Mrs. Chen be in danger?

When they arrived at the file warehouse, they saw that the door of the warehouse was open.

Everyone ran in...the outer hall was empty!

"Master Chen!" Pang Yu called out twice, but no one answered.

"Let's find them separately." Zhao Pu felt that the situation was not good.

Everyone dispersed immediately, and searched back and forth in the warehouse, but couldn't find the old man.

"Oh! Has the old man been kidnapped?" Pang Yu yelled, and someone patted his shoulder.

Little Hou Ye was startled, turned around, and saw Mrs. Chen standing behind him.

"Wow..." Pang Yu was taken aback, "Master, you don't make a sound when you walk?"

Mr. Chen pointed to the curtain at the back, which means - he was dozing off and was woken up by you.

Seeing that the old man was in good spirits, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Ming sat down at the table, yawned and looked at the crowd, "Looking for..."

"We don't look for keys." Zhan Zhao hurriedly asked, "Grandpa, do you still remember the Taixue directory? Help us keep a copy from 20 to 25 years ago!"

Everyone looked at Zhan Zhao——speaking very fast.

Chen Ming looked at Zhan Zhao helplessly, stood up, turned around, and left.

"Old man?" Bao Yan called him, but Chen Ming didn't stop, and walked aside tremblingly.

Everyone is looking at Zhan Zhao——Look!Get angry!The old man wants to coax!Aren't you very experienced!you weak...

Zhan Zhao scratches his head.

At this time, I saw Chen Ming walking to a bookshelf and beckoning to everyone.

Bai Yutang was beside him and walked over.

The old man pointed to the top shelf of the bookshelf.

Bai Yutang raised his face, and saw above the bookshelf it was written - Juanzangge Replenishment, and on the third row of the bookshelf, there was a row of Taixue Directory.

Everyone gasped.

The old man said slowly, "After the Juanzang Pavilion was burned down, I started to make up..." At this point, there was a sudden silence, and then... fell asleep.

Pang Yu shook the old man excitedly, "You are a living Bodhisattva, old man!"

Bao Yan hurried up the ladder to get the list.

Zhan Zhao came to rescue Chen Ming who was dizzy from being shaken by Pang Yu, and asked him, "Old man, do you know about the murder in the old Jin family's house?"

Chen Ming was supported by Zhan Zhao to sit down, took the water Chunhua poured for him, thought for a while, and frowned at Zhan Zhao, "Jin's old house?"

Everyone nodded.

"Xishan Jin's family?" the old man asked again.

Everyone nodded.

The old man stretched out a finger, "Ghost..."

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, thinking that he was going to talk about the haunted house, so they also nodded.

But the old man went on to say, "Ghost knows..."

Everyone's mouth twitched.

The young master shook his head - this old man deserves a beating too much.

Bao Yan came over with the file in his hands, tucking it in like a baby.By the way, I read all the books from 20 to 25 years ago, kept them in my mind, and gave Bai Yutang a few copies, which means you should also read them, and it would be safer for a few more people to memorize them!

Bai Wuye flipped through the files beside him.

Zhan Zhao and others thought that the old man didn't know about the Jin family's old house, so they wanted to leave. There was still a lot to check. Fortunately, the list was preserved...

Unexpectedly, at this time, the old man waved his hand, "Slow..."

Everyone looked at him.

The old man pointed to the Four Treasures of the Study on the table in the distance.

Chunhua helped bring over the Four Treasures of the Study.

The old man took the brush and dipped it in the ink, and tremblingly wrote a few words on the paper.Then he put down the pen and gave the paper to Zhan Zhao.

When Zhan Zhao took a look, he saw that it was an address, a private house in Huzi Lane in the east of the city, and he was a little puzzled.

Pointing to the note, the old man said, "Go ask, the devil knows."

Everyone was stunned for a while, and at the same time they understood—the "ghost knows" who dared to love, it was a person!
