Even though Taoying Restaurant is the best inn in Taoluo Mansion, Jin Ziwan didn't sleep well.

He was dreaming again.

In the dream, he was kneeling in front of the bed. On the bed, his mother was coughing up blood. The face that could vaguely be seen to be three points more beautiful than his was now completely weather-stained. She clamped his hand tightly with all her strength. , urging him to make the most vicious oath in a mournful voice, to promise to be Sheng Xiyun's most loyal dog for the rest of his life, and if Sheng Xiyun wanted him to die, he would not be able to live;

The scene changed, and he saw that on the day when he was in the hidden mansion, the wine sent by the late emperor was packed in a flagon with blue background and white flowers, and served on a chassis covered with golden cloth. Sheng Xiyun said to him, Ziwan, help me I.He said yes, picked up the jug and drank it directly to the spout;

The scene changed again. On the day Sheng Xiyun ascended the throne, the officials knelt down on the mountain and shouted long live. He didn't kneel, and he didn't step forward. He just wanted to stand as far away as possible.But Sheng Xiyun didn't allow him, not only didn't he allow him to stay away, but he also dragged him to accompany him to the top of the city tower to enjoy the grand sight and honor of the whole world.But Jin Ziwan didn't feel happy, he just felt bored;

When he woke up in the Jin Mansion, what he saw was Sheng Xiyun's face that he had been looking at for 20 years.Sheng Xiyun gently stroked the tear mole under his eyes, and said to him in that tone, Ziwan, help me.He wanted to throw up, but he still said, okay.The next day, the Jin Mansion became the Governor's Mansion.

Jin Jin wanted to wake up late.

He was trembling, his eyeballs trembled countless times under his thin eyelids, and finally broke through the shackles for the last time.

He woke up.

***

When Jin Ziwan went downstairs, he happened to meet Gu Zhaohong in the lobby.

Gu Zhaohong asked him early, and Jin Ziwan nodded to him.

Gu Shaoxia hesitated and asked, "Did Governor Jin get scared yesterday?"

Jin Ziwan: "..."

Lu Duoyu, who was urging Xiao Er to have breakfast, almost bit her own tongue.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but Gu Zhaohong didn't respond to their reaction, he just pointed to his eye sockets: "I saw that Governor Jin's eyes are slightly black, maybe it's because he didn't have a good rest, thinking about it , There was only one thing that could cause fright yesterday."

Jin Zi's late-born fairness, with a slight bluish black under his eyes, is very obvious.

Hearing this, he just thought it was funny, so he sat down opposite Gu Zhaohong and asked, "Since you know that I am the governor of Jiuwanli, you must also know what Jiuwanli does."

"That's natural."

Jin Ziwan thought it was because you didn't want to eat, and said: "Since you know, then you should also know about the ninety thousand miles of torture, skinning and broken spines and laughing, which one is not as terrifying as the thing under the soil of Liu's mansion ?”

Gu Zhaohong smiled and shook his head: "Why does Governor Jin do this on purpose?"

Jin Ziwan was taken aback.

Xiao Er was bringing two bowls of noodles in clear soup to their table. Gu Zhaohong thanked him in a low voice. He poured some chili oil, mature vinegar, and sesame oil into the noodles, and explained, "If I really believe in gold Governor’s gossip, I have already made excuses to slip away like what Governor said yesterday, and I didn’t even eat.” He took a sip of the noodles, waited until he swallowed them, and then continued, “Gu has always believed in himself. , so I only believe in my own experience.”

Jin Ziwan lowered his eyes, reached out and took the chopsticks to stir up the clear noodles in the bowl, he didn't know what it was like, but it was not necessarily lighter than the bowl of noodles in Gu Shaoxia's hand.

Lu Duoyu was sitting at the next table sucking noodles, while eavesdropping with his ears pricked up, muttering in his heart, how useful this Young Master Linfeng is to the governor, how can he tolerate it.

Jin Jin ate enough noodles for two or three chopsticks late, so he put down his chopsticks and stopped eating.

But Gu Shaoxia has a good appetite, and even drank half a bowl of soup. Seeing Jin Ziwan like this, he couldn't help being surprised: "Is this noodle not in line with Governor Jin's appetite?"

The food here is too little, even the ordinary daughter's family eats more than this majestic governor of [-] li.

Jin Ziwan said lightly, "It's okay, I've always been like this."

Gu Zhaohong seemed to want to say something, but in the end he blocked it with the face of a chopstick.

It's not a deep friendship, so why bother to be so lenient, it's just annoying.

Jin Ziwan's bowl is really clear soup with little water, and I guess there are no other seasonings except salt. Looking at Gu Zhaohong's bowl, as I said just now, chili oil, sesame oil, and mature vinegar look bright red .Lu Duoyu, who was sitting by the side, also put half a bottle of chili oil into it. The bowl of noodles was scarier than Gu Zhaohong's. Just looking at it, Lord Jin felt a dull pain in his stomach.

After everyone had eaten, they all went all the way to the Liu's mansion. After this night, all the corpses should be uncovered.

Liu Zaibo's Mansion in Taoluo Mansion

When Jin Ziwan and his party arrived at Liu's Mansion, Zhang San had already supervised the government servants to turn over the entire Zhang Mansion's soil, and as expected, corpses were buried under it.

Zhang San came to report that the number of dead bodies was the same as that of the entire Liu family, from Mrs. Liu to kitchen servants, without exception.

Jin Ziwan was still hugging the blue-eyed white cat, and asked calmly, "What is the cause of death?"

Zhang Sandao: "At present, the cause of death is poisoning."

Gu Zhaohong asked, "I don't know what kind of poison it is?"

That Zhang San glanced at Jin Ziwan, saw Governor Jin nodded his head slightly, and then replied: "□□."

Jin Ziwan frowned slightly, this □□ can be seen everywhere, and the scope cannot be narrowed down.

At this time, Li Si ran over and said something to Lu Duoyu, Jin Ziwan glanced at him: "There is no need to inform Lu Duoyu, just say what you have to say."

Li Si made a salute, and then said: "What Zhang Duwei said is true, all the corpses died of poisoning, but one female corpse was not."

Hearing this, Gu Zhaohong subconsciously glanced at Jin Ziwan, and Governor Jin raised his eyebrows: "What do you say?"

Li Si asked someone to bring the problematic female corpse in front of Jin Ziwan, and took away the white cloth, but there was no ferocious look on the female corpse's face—in the true sense, it was invisible, because the face was already full of blood. Scratches all over, unrecognizable.

Jin Ziwan squatted down, flipped through the woman's body, looking for something strange, opened the collar and found a circle of strangle marks on her neck, pinched the woman's cheek and opened her mouth, looked at the hyoid bone, and stood up: " strangled."

Gu Zhaohong also looked carefully at the scarred face of the female corpse, thoughtfully: "These wounds have been around for some time, and they were definitely not caused recently."

Jin Ziwan ordered Lu Duoyu: "Bring Liu Zaibo, he should have fainted enough this night, and he probably made up what he should say. I'll see what he can say to prevaricate me."

Gu Zhaohong thought to himself that Governor Jin spoke too straightforwardly.

Really interesting.

After a while, Lu Duoyu came with Liu Zaibo. The complexion of Mr. Liu was a little stronger than yesterday, but he also looked like he was about to die.

Jin Ziwan didn't like to look at him, so he raised his chin towards the female corpse lying on the ground: "Does Zhifu Liu recognize this person?"

Liu Zaibo took a look, and his complexion turned even paler: "This... the lower officials don't know each other."

Gu Zhaohong asked curiously, "Isn't this someone from Liu Zhifu's residence?"

Liu Zaibo said again: "This, this should be, I should recognize it, but this face has changed beyond recognition, and the lower officials really can't recognize it."

Jin Ziwan looked at him condescendingly, didn't speak, and only snorted after a while: "Since that's the case, it's better for Mr. Liu to stay in the same room with this woman today, and recognize her carefully and vigorously until he recognizes her."

After that, he said to Lu Duoyu: "Keep them together, if Mr. Liu can't recognize them, then there is no need to come out."

Gu Zhaohong: "..."

Although Liu Zaibo looked like he was hiding something, but Governor Jin's move was a bit too damaging.

Easter eggs:

Lu Duoyu raised her face: I am from Hunan

Gu Zhaohong raised his face: I am from Sichuan

Jin Jinwan: gone
