Be sure to find this guy!

Xu Miaoyi looked at the portrait of a middle-aged man drawn by Miss Luan, and her eyes were full of hatred and anger. Just now, she was excited, and revealed the scene when she saw her mother resolutely commit suicide in order for her to have a chance to escape. In fact, it was stimulated by Miss Luan's death, judging from the current clues, Miss Luan, who was slowly sobering up, must have been coerced into suicide by this middle-aged man, and the only concern in Miss Luan's heart was her younger brother Luan Hachiro.

sacrificing oneself in order to give the person he loves the most a glimmer of life is almost exactly the same as the situation of his mother Xiao Xie back then.

Miss Luan was coerced to commit suicide and was unable to speak, so in desperation, she used a painting to vaguely point out the murderer. Xu Miaoyi made this inference at the moment of the portrait, because she had personally experienced a similar dilemma, her mother stabbed her neck with a hairpin, and the blood gushed and the scene overlapped with the bloody scene of seeing Miss Luan jump off the tower with her own eyes this morning, half of her head flattened......

Xu Miaoyi was immersed in painful memories as if drowning, and the budding love was drowned in monstrous hatred, which was insignificant at all.

Xu Miaoyi said: "If the painter paints the portrait, every post station and dock will post a reward notice, as long as someone provides the person's clues, the reward will be five hundred taels of silver." ”

Xu Zengshou was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse just now, his face was still pale at this time, and he had palpitations, and said, "Sister, the reward of five hundred taels is too much." This is our private reward, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, no one has given this amount. Our father's name in the first half of the year is not so much, it's too ostentatious, the imperial history may impeach my father for this, listen to my brother's advice, change it to one hundred taels. ”

Xu Miaoyi was occupied by anger and sadness, and she didn't take these into account, she was slightly stunned and said, "Okay, I'll listen to the second brother." ”

After Xu Zengshou was frightened, he didn't dare to look at Miss Luan's broken corpse, nor did he dare to enter the tower, for fear of being haunted by the unjust soul, he sat on the futon in the Buddhist hall, and listened to the monk knocking on the wooden fish and chanting for a long time, and his heart calmed down a little.

Xu Zengshou felt that his sister came out of the tower, and his feelings had not been right, so he ordered his subordinates to go out with the portrait to do the reward, and also to know that the guest monk had passed on a table of vegetarian dishes.

"I rode all night in the evening, and I haven't come in a drop of rice in the afternoon, so come, eat something." Xu Zengshou pulled his sister to the table.

Xu Miaoyi shook her head, "I don't have an appetite, I don't want to eat." ”

Xu Zengshou asked, "Then what do you want to eat?" ”

Xu Miaoyi said: "I want to drink." ”

Xu Zengshou said: "This is Hanshan Temple, there is no wine. ”

Xu Miaoyi glanced at the second brother coldly, and the cold was overwhelming.

Sister, what's wrong? Since he came out of the tower, his eyes were like a little demon, eerie and terrifying, Xu Zengshou was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "I'll get you an altar." ”

After Xu Zengshou left, Xu Miaoyi looked around and opened the treasure map spelled out from "Yang Gong's Paintings". It can be seen from Luan Hachilang's instigation and Miss Luan's death that someone is watching all the way, and once they find out something, they immediately set up obstacles to prevent them from investigating the case, and every time they are ahead of them, it can be seen that the other party's terrible strength.

And their group has the king of the county and the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, they are vast, too ostentatious, and their whereabouts are exposed, so now they have to find another strange way, surprise, the real murderer behind the scenes of the Xie family's old mansion in Shaoxing must have been prepared, and it is not meaningful to rush to Shaoxing at this time, it is better to leave here secretly, and first go to find the things in the treasure map, maybe you can uncover the mystery from the other side......

Dangdang! The bell of Hanshan Temple rang again, and Xu Miaoyi had an idea in her heart.

Xu Zengshou came back with a jar of Huadiao wine, and the meditation room was empty, and the cups and plates did not move at all.

At the Suzhou wharf, there are already officials who have begun to post reward notices. There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, and the reward of one hundred taels of silver attracted passers-by to watch from the sidelines, eager to imprint this person's appearance in their hearts. Xu Miaoyi was dressed in a black robe, her hair was tied in a wide hat to shade the sun, and a string of Buddhist beads hung on her chest, pretending to be a monk traveling around, getting rid of the stalk.

"Yo, a hundred taels! What sin did this man commit? ”

"Look for yourself, it's all written on it."

"This aunt, I can't read."

"It said that this person was suspected of murder and absconding, and he was a very dangerous person, and a reward of 100 taels was offered to arrest him, and there was also a reward of 50 taels of silver for providing clues. It seems that this person is extremely vicious and cruel, and the family of the victim is a rich family, and he is willing to pay a high price to find out this person. ”

As soon as they heard that the bounty had been offered, the crowd erupted into a burst of joyful exclamations, and they exchanged their heads with each other, and immediately jumped out excitedly and said: "This person is so familiar, as if I saw it when I burned incense in Hanshan Temple that day." ”

When Xu Miaoyi heard this, her hand under the sleeves of her wide robe couldn't help but tighten, and sure enough, the man went to Hanshan Temple in the name of burning incense, and then used Luan Hachiro's life to coerce Miss Luan to commit suicide.

Someone next to him sneered: "If you are quiet, you will be heard, and you will rush to Hanshan Temple to find the person in the portrait to receive the reward, and you will work in vain." ”

As soon as the words fell, the crowd of onlookers looked at the person who had just spoken, and the man immediately covered his mouth and whispered: "I just said it casually,

Don't believe it, men with this kind of appearance are everywhere, I must be dazzled. ”

The more this person explained, the more confused everyone became, and immediately a group of people went in the direction of Hanshan Temple, and the man hesitated, waved his arm and said, "Oh, wait for me!" ”

Looking at the overwhelming crowd, Xu Miaoyi said secretly: This is the power of money, money can make ghosts grind, I hope to find this person as soon as possible. It's just that judging from the current opponent's methods, when they find this person, I'm afraid it will already be a corpse that can't speak.

Therefore, it is even more important to expect the bounty notice to play a key role, and it is still necessary to find the treasure map. Xu Miaoyi got on a passenger ship and traveled to Hangzhou day and night.

Hangzhou, on the shore of West Lake, tourists are weaving, the summer is scorching, the scenery of West Lake is superior, the lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red.

However, Xu Miaoyi had no intention of appreciating these beautiful scenery, so she hired a boat and went to the small island in the middle of the West Lake. This small boat is made of reeds, Xu Miaoyi pretended to be a traveling monk, and the captain of the boat smiled: "Little master, you want to follow the example of Zen Master Bodhidharma when he crossed the river with a reed!" ”

Legend has it that Emperor Wu of Liang chased the patriarch of Bodhidharma, and Bodhidharma crossed the river on a reed to get rid of the pursuers.

"Amitabha." Xu Miaoyi clasped her hands together and said, "How can the little monk dare to compare with Zen Master Bodhidharma, sin, sin." ”

The captain said: "The island is full of some vassal and elegant scholars, as well as singers and dancers who sing and dance, and the little master does not go to the spirit on the shore of Xizi Lake."

Hidden Temple to worship the Buddha, what kind of place to do? ”

Xu Miaoyi said nonsense: "I heard that there are many stone carvings in the small island of Huxin Pavilion, and the little monk has been famous for a long time, so I want to go and see it." ”

"In fact, most of those stone carvings in the stele forest are made up, and there is no ornamental value." The captain smiled: "I have rocked the boat in West Lake all my life, and I know the story of this place best." In fact, there used to be a temple on the small island of Huxin Pavilion, called Huxin Temple, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Huxin Temple caught fire and burned to ashes, and there was not even a tree left on the island. ”

"It was Shen Wansan, the richest man in Jiangnan, who took out the silver, replanted trees, and built pavilions and pavilions, so that there was today's grand scene, and most of the stone carvings in the stele forest were scholars funded by Shen Wansan, and there was no fame, except for the Yankee of the four heroes of Jiangnan who personally wrote the name of the Huxin Pavilion to the Huxin Pavilion, and the rest were small fish and shrimp."

It's Yankee again! From "Wu Wang Xingle Tu" to "Yang Gong's Painting", and then to the West Lake Pavilion in Hangzhou, which is pointed to by the treasure map, there is this person's participation. And this Shen Wansan also seems to be unusual, his son Shen Rong repaired Luan Feng's tomb, repaired the ancestral hall, and bought the Luan family's mansion, it can't be just a coincidence.

Xu Miaoyi said: "Shen Wansan supported Zhang Shicheng back then, and Yanji was Zhang Shicheng's staff, he gave Shen Wanshan a show, probably for the sake of the face of the lord Zhang Shicheng, otherwise how could a wise man like this support a rich businessman like Shen Wansan." ”

"Shh The captain hurriedly said: "When you get to the island, don't mention the name Zhang Shicheng, be careful of being falsely accused of rebellion." I heard that Zhang Shicheng's old department bombed the Nanjing City Tower during the Lantern Festival this year, and many people died. ”

Xu Miaoyi said: "The little monk is an outsider, do they also want to arrest him?" ”

Gong Gong smiled: "The monk is powerful, and he was a monk before." In the blink of an eye, the outsider became a master. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was a monk and still believes in Buddhism. Between the words, the reed boat docked, the sound of silk and bamboo was heard from afar, in the middle of summer, the island in the middle of the lake pavilion is shaded by green trees, the cool breeze is blowing, it is very comfortable. Xu Miaoyi walked straight to the stele forest, thinking about the unusual relationship between Yankee, Shen Wansan, and Zhang Shicheng, only Yanji is alive at present, Yanji is an official in Daming, and he has changed to Zhu Yuanzhang, so he must ask him in the future.

Without further ado, when you find the place where the treasure is hidden, you will immediately find the Yankee in Qichen!

Thinking about it, Xu Miaoyi walked into the stele forest, the steles were scattered in the bamboo forest, Xu Miaoyi checked the treasure map in her hand, and found the stele marked in the map.

This is a tall stone stele, probably as tall as Zhu Di...... Well, how did you think of him again? There's no way we're going to do it. Xu Miaoyi shook her head violently, as if she could shake Zhu Di's head out in this way.

There is a poem engraved on the stele, and the inscription is an unknown talent, Xu Miaoyi does not read much, but she also sees that this seven-character poem is extremely ordinary:

"The high platform post pavilion began to see gold, and the light rain and smoke trees were new. Climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix is incredible, and the tomb pine has been heard for a hundred years. ”

The moral of this poem is equally ordinary, the sunny day of the rising sun in the pavilions in the morning, the light rain in the evening like smoke in the woods, the rain stops at night, a crescent moon shines in the sky, the weather is unpredictable, the fate of the people who climb the dragon and the phoenix in Vanity Fair is as impermanent as the weather, you look at the pine and cypress in this grave for a hundred years, and all fame and fortune finally turn to dust.

This kind of artistic conception of "success or failure turns empty" is a theme that literati never get tired of writing, and there are thousands of similar poems, and the words of this poem are really mediocre. Xu Miaoyi meditated in front of the stele and looked closely, but she couldn't see the reason for a long time. She circled around the stele, smeared it with a special potion, and found no hidden text or maps.

Xu Miaoyi said secretly: Could it be that something is buried under this stone tablet? From time to time, there were scholars who came to enjoy the scenery in the stone monument, and it was inconvenient to dig a pit in broad daylight, so Xu Miaoyi decided to come to dig a pit in the middle of the night.

Xu Miaoyi walked a few steps, turned around and looked at the verses of the inscription, thought about it, took out the tools from the back basket, and decided to extend the inscription intact and collect it first, maybe she could find something. The treasure map points to this stone monument, so there must be something out of the ordinary.

It is extremely common to expand the inscription in the stele forest, and Xu Miaoyi's move did not attract the attention of tourists. She wiped the dust and debris off the stele with a dry cloth, then applied it with white water, pasted the rice paper on the inscription, slowly tapped it with a soft brush, and then waited for the rice paper to dry and peel it off.

In the evening, as the twilight sinks, the tired birds return to the forest, and tourists slowly leave the island. Xu Miaoyi rested in the gazebo, recuperating her energy, and prepared to go to the stele forest at night to dig a pit to see if she could find anything.

In a dream.

Xu Miaoyi opened her eyes, and in a trance, she was lying in the arms of a fairy-like beauty, and the beauty gently rubbed her face, "Did you dream of butter snails again?" Look at you, you gluttonous cat, your saliva is wetting your pillow. ”

Black hair and snow skin, demeanor like a pear flower, is a mother!

Xu Miaoyi rushed over and hugged her mother tightly, "Mother, I had a terrible nightmare, many, many people died, and I always couldn't wake up." ”

Her mother gently hugged her back and patted her on the back, "Dreams are all reversed, don't think nonsense." Your grandfather missed us, and the family sent someone to pick us up and take us to Shaoxing, get up and get dressed, and go back to my parents' house with me. ”

Xu Miaoyi was stunned and said, "No! Can't go back! It's going to die! ”

No matter how much she protested, her mother turned a deaf ear, and after that, it was exactly the same nightmare, she saw the Xie family hang themselves in the ancestral hall......

In the carriage, Xu Miaoyi snuggled up to her mother tightly, on the snow-covered branches, and a jackdaw looked at her coldly.

Rattle!

There was a hint of pity in the jackdaw's gaze, and then he flapped his wings and flew into the sky. She trembled and hugged her mother, and murmured, "Mother, danger, there are bad people, run!" ”

The mother did not react, her body was stiff, she slowly looked up, and saw the golden hairpin in her mother's throat, the mother looked sluggish, the roof of the carriage suddenly disappeared, and the snow fell one after another, so cold.

Knowing that her mother was dead, she still curled up and snuggled tightly in her mother's arms like when she was a child, and at this time, her mother also turned into snowflakes, snowflakes flew all over the sky, but they were burning on Xu Miaoyi's face, just like Zhu Di's kiss on her finger that night.

The snowflakes fell one by one, turning from pure white to fiery red, burning her sweaty, she opened her eyes suddenly, and found that she was in a sea of fire, and the bamboo cultivation in the stele forest was burning, making a crackling explosion!

Overnight, Green Island turned into a sea of fire.

Xu Miaoyi slept on a bench in the pavilion at the highest point of the island, standing here and looking out, the night sky was covered with clouds, the crescent moon appeared and disappeared, the dark lake surrounded the island, and the trees and pavilions around the island burned together, fiery red, like flowing blood.

Xu Miaoyi knew that this must be someone deliberately setting the fire, and if it started naturally, it would spread from one side to the other when burning. This kind of fire must have been poured with flammable oil and other materials all around, and then the code was agreed to ignite together.

Thinking of Miss Luan's death in the morning, Xu Miaoyi concluded that her disguised trick was seen through by someone who was secretly watching, and someone took advantage of the dark moon and high wind to take the opportunity to set fire to the island and kill her.

Maybe there is something important hidden on this island that must be destroyed together, or maybe this thing is an important piece of evidence for my grandfather's unjust case back then!

I thought that I would find another strange way to be surprised, but I didn't expect to be covered in the net of others. Ask Daming who is so powerful, quietly pressing step by step, forcing her to a desperate situation?

Xu Miaoyi tried her best to calm down and began to think about how to get out of danger. The island in the middle of the lake is very small, similar to a prince's mansion in Jinling, it is formed by the siltation of the West Lake, it suffered a fire more than ten years ago, razed to the ground, it is the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River Shen Wanshan funded and rebuilt, so the trees here are generally very short, there is no forest, and the burning is intermittent. Only the fastest-growing bamboo forest stele forest covers the sky and becomes a sea of fire, which is also where Xu Miaoyi plans to dig.

The bamboo forest in the east must be a dead end, and only through the low trees can there be a glimmer of life. Xu Miaoyi must rush down, because this pavilion is also made of wood, and the fire under the mountain will be burned sooner or later!
