Zhanzhao and the others went to look for Shen Yan, but they were disturbed by an unknown sneak attacker on the way to interrogate. M.LWxS520.com mobile network

However...... After being frightened, Shen Yan completely fell into a state of confusion, and at the same time, everyone unexpectedly found a strange tattoo on Shen Yan's back. According to Lin Xiao's previous description, the tattoos on his father Lin Ziwen's body can be inferred that the tattoos on Shen Yan's body should be the same as those on Lin Ziwen's back, or slightly different.

Because these three-headed Jin Tuo is complete with three heads, Lin Xiao said that his father's tattoo only has the head in the middle, and the shoulders are empty. At this time, the tattoo on Shen Yan's back that everyone saw, the right head was there, and the left side and middle were empty, so they ...... It's more likely to be a set!

Zhan Zhao looked at Shen Yan, who was incoherent, frowned, took two steps, stretched out his hands, and slapped Shen Yan's ear.

Shen Yan suddenly stirred, and he felt his ears buzzing.

Zhan Zhao slapped the palm with internal force, at this moment, Shen Yan should be temporarily deaf and unable to hear anything.

Shen Yan instantly saw a black ...... When he came to his senses, the surroundings fell silent.

Gradually, Shen Yan came back to his senses, except for a slight tinnitus in his ears, he returned to normal.

Gongsun is curious, what kind of ability is Zhanzhao?

Bai Yutang and Zhao Pu were clear...... Because Zhan Zhao inherited Yin Hou's bloodline, his control over internal force is stronger than that of ordinary people, and Yin Hou can freely use internal force to create magic sound tricks and demon king flashes, and the principle is to transform internal force into other forms, such as sound or light, vibration, etc., to influence others.

Shen Yan's mind was confused just now, and he had fallen into a state of loss of control, Zhanzhao was equivalent to using the sound created by internal force to shock him, and when he woke up again, he would naturally wake up from the lost state, which was indeed effective.

Shen Yan's breathing was still a little short, and he was sweating profusely.

Two shadow guards helped him up and made him sit in a chair.

Zhan Zhao looked at the empty box and glanced at Bai Yutang - guess what he lost?

Bai Yutang inexplicably thought of what Wang Xiaopang had just told them, Xie Yiting lost something at that time, and he was also depressed, maybe he lost a painting, so he ...... Will Shen Yan lose a painting?

"What did you lose?" Zhao Pu asked curiously.

Shen Yan lowered his head for a long time, and said, "Draw ......"

"What painting?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Shen Yan raised his head, suddenly seemed to think of something, stared at Zhan Zhao for a while, and then said to himself, "So...... Didn't Xie Yiting invite the killing because there was a problem with the stolen goods? Did I think wrong? ”

Zhan Zhao thought for a while and said, "Xie Yiting also lost something important, it seems to be a painting." ”

Shen Yan was stunned, and then puzzled, "How can there be a painting in the Xie Yi Pavilion...... Does he have it too? No wonder......"

"What's the wonder?"

Seeing that Shen Yan wanted to speak and stopped, Zhanzhao chased after him.

"Where's Ziwen?" Shen Yan asked, "You just came here and asked me about Ziwen, did something happen to him?" ”

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang.

Bai Yutang rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a little tired from listening, can you explain it at once?

"Lin Ziwen died ten years ago." Zhan Zhao spoke.

Shen Yan was stunned for a moment, his face was full of shock and seemed to be in disbelief, and then he lowered his head, the sadness in his expression did not seem to be fake, so everyone deduced that he and Lin Ziwen should still be friends.

Zhan Zhao asked, "Your original name was Shen Botao, but you later changed your name and broke off contact with your family, why?" ”

Shen Yan was a little at a loss, "I'...... I've done some bad things in the past. ”

"Shen Yan." Zhan Zhao said, "I don't care what you did in the past, a lot of people have died so far, so you'd better say something, such as why do you and Lin Ziwen have this tattoo on their backs?" For example, what is your relationship with the old house of the Jin family, and what painting did you lose? Why is it so important? ”

Gongsun and the others breathed a sigh of relief, yes, can't you explain it at once, swallow and spit out!

"The tattooed ...... on my back," Shen Yan finally spoke, "Ziwen also has one on his back." ”

"Since there are three heads, it means that there is another one." Zhao Pu asked, "Who else is tattooed on?" ”

Shen Yan looked at everyone, confused, "Three heads? ”

Everyone frowned, did he not know, or did he deliberately hide it?

Zhanzhao motioned for him to start from the beginning and tell everything he knew.

"Ziwen and I are both from Hangzhou Prefecture, we have known each other since we were very young, we were admitted to Taixue together, and we came to Kaifeng together." Shen Yan began to talk from the beginning, "I live in poverty, my parents died early, and my brothers and sisters-in-law are all white-eyed, I can come to Taixue to take classes thanks to the paintings given to me by Ziwen." Three paintings, one is all the expenses during the study, one is enough for me to prepare real estate after the palace test, under Kaifeng, and the last one, I used it to exchange a few good words from the Taishi, entered the Yuanqing Academy, and today I have a small achievement, it can be said that my one qiē is given to me by Ziwen. ”

Zhan Zhao and the others frowned slightly.

"Lin Ziwen back then, why didn't he go to Taixue and leave?" Bai Yutang asked.

Shen Yan sighed and said, "Ziwen is a hundred times better than me, if he stays in Kaifeng to study, he will definitely get ahead one day, and we are also ambitious when we enter Kaifeng...... However, the heavens did not grant the wish. As soon as the two of us arrived in Kaifeng, we had a conflict with a few Taixue students, and later we even got into trouble with the Yamen. The other party is powerful and powerful, and the yamen is biased. Ziwen was angry, so he left a book and said that he wanted to study in the same academy with this kind of person, and he would rather not study, so he said goodbye. ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other.

Gongsun held his chin, "My temper is bigger than mine......"

Zhao Pu asked Gongsun, "If this situation changes you, what will you do?" ”

Gongsun raised his eyebrows, "Of course you stayed in Taixue to study?" Why do you want me to go, the other party is a scumbag, okay? I just stayed in Taixue to press them and block them. ”

The crowd couldn't laugh or cry.

Zhan Zhao asked, "Will you take the little fourth son to study Taixue?" ”

Gongsun smiled and rubbed his son's buttocks, "That's different, what do you study too much when you have a little fourth son?" It's not even a matter of being the prime minister! I don't have that idleness! ”

The little fourth son hugged his father's neck and rubbed his face.

"Actually, I think Ziwen is just leaving, I think it's very abnormal, it's not like his character." Shen Yan said, "When I was studying, I had some correspondence with him a few years ago, and he said that he had married a wife and had children, and his life was very good, so I didn't have to worry about it." He also said that several brothers in my family fought for property and broke their heads, and I still didn't go back, so I simply cut off contact, and I also listened to him, and gradually, there was no correspondence. ”

"After talking for a long time, how did the tattoos on your two backs come about?" Zhao Pu asked.

"It was a chance encounter when we were young, and we got it in exchange." Shen Yan said, "About thirty years ago, when we were only thirteen or fourteen, because our parents died early, we were often together, in order to earn some silver, we went around helping people to work. During that time, we worked for □□ hours a day in several warehouses at the docks, helping to record goods and settle accounts. ”

"One day, an antique black ship docked at the dock." Shen Yan continued, "That ship is very large and extraordinary, with three black snake heads on the bow, which looks a little weird. The ship stopped behind the dock, and there was no one to transport goods, no one to get on or off the ship, so it docked quietly. At that time, many shipwharves were talking about this ship, saying that it might be from other countries overseas, and it was definitely not from the Central Plains anyway. Ziwen and I finished settling the accounts late that night, and we wanted to leave, but when we went out, we saw this big ship not far away. At that time, we were too young to know how thick the sky was, so we wanted to get on the boat to see it. ”

Everyone couldn't help but raise their eyebrows when they heard this - you two nerds are quite timid.

"We just slipped onto the boat." Shen Yan said, "The ship is empty, and there is no one to guard it, it seems that the people on the ship have already disembarked, the cabin is locked, we look in from a broken window in the cabin, and we can't see clearly in the dark, and we see a lot of boxes piled up there, some large and some small." I felt that something was wrong, and I said that it was not as simple as being beaten up, and I might lose my life. But Ziwen was very bold, and he was also curious, so he pried open the window and went in. ”

Everyone sweats for these two nerds, haven't you heard that curiosity kills cats?

"When we went in, we found that the boxes were very heavy, so we opened one and saw a golden Buddha in the box." Shen Yan said, "The golden light is exquisitely made, and it is worth a fortune at a glance." I looked at the other boxes, and they were all Buddha statues made of gold, although I couldn't say what kind of Buddha or what kind of Buddha, but I could see that it was very valuable. At the time, we were quite puzzled why such a valuable cargo was still on the ship, and we didn't find anyone to look at it. ”

Everyone thought of the treasury of the White Mansion, not only was it not guarded, but it was like a pile of stones...... Probably rich, so let □□......

"We were going to put down the Golden Buddha and run away, because if someone finds out, it might say that we stole it, wouldn't it be bad!" Shen Yan said, frowning, "But at this time, suddenly...... In the distance, there was a large box, and suddenly there was a 'bang' sound, as if something was moving inside. In the dead of night, the sound scared both of us. I was holding a golden Buddha in my hand that I was about to put back, and as soon as I was frightened by this movement, I heard a 'boom', and guess what? ”

Everyone blinked.

"The golden Buddha that fell to the ground was shattered!" Shen Yan smiled bitterly.

Zhao Pu frowned, "The gold is broken?" ”

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang, and Bai Yutang also touched his chin - is it the same as the golden Buddha dug up under the Jin family's old mansion that day, is it fake?

Sure enough, I saw Shen Yan spread his hands, "That Golden Buddha is fake!" The outside is plated with a layer of gold, and the inside is made of stone, and it is called a break! ”

Everyone glanced at each other - is there a connection between the fake golden Buddhas in Shen Yan's mouth and those found in the underground of the Jin family's old mansion?

"We were like, oh no! These people are probably selling fakes or fake gold, in short, this posture should not stay for a long time, and they want to slip away quickly...... But before he could run, the box in the distance rang a few more times. Shen Yan said, "This time we can see clearly, the box is moving, what kind of living things are locked in it!" ”

Everyone felt strange and continued to listen to Shen Yan.

"The box looks about the size of a coffin, or maybe it's a coffin at all." Shen Yan continued, "I just wanted to pull Ziwen and leave quickly, but Ziwen followed like a demon, and he had to open the box to take a look." ”

Zhan Zhao helped his forehead, what should he do at this time is to leave quickly and then report to the official, right?

"We went over and saw that the box was locked, but there was a small box next to it, so we opened it and looked at it...... There's a key in it. Shen Yan said, "Ziwen took the key...... The lock was opened. ”

Gongsun frowned, "It's really open?" ”

Shen Yan nodded.

"And then?"

"Then ......," Shen Yan said, reaching out to rub his face, "This person walked in the box, dressed in black, his face was pale, his hands were clasped on his chest, and there was a long flute on his chest.

Everyone frowned - Xiao?

"The man's face and lips looked like he was almost dead." Shen Yan said, "Ziwen wanted to reach out and touch his neck to see if there was a pulse, but he suddenly opened his eyes and ......."

Everyone was silent, and the little fourth son climbed into Zhao Pu's arms from Gongsun and hid, which was his habit when he listened to terrible things.

"At that moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the cabin, as if someone was hurrying towards me." Shen Yan continued, "Ziwen and I were shocked, but the person suddenly rushed out, I was really dazzled!" He's certainly not human! ”

Bai Yutang frowned, "Not a person?" ”

He just lay flat and got up...... Then he grabbed the shoulders of the two of us with both hands, it hurt, the bones were about to break......" Shen Yan shook his head, "Then he flew out with the two of us and broke through the window...... I was hit by a window and fainted. ”

Everyone touched their chins - this is a bizarre encounter! That man probably wasn't a ghost, but his kung fu was good.

"When I woke up, I was lying in a stream, my clothes were soaked, and Ziwen was sitting on a rock next to me, in a daze." Shen Yan said, "When I think about it, I feel that my whole body is sore, especially my back, it hurts as if I have been injured multiple times." ”

Zhan Zhao asked, "Do you have a tattoo on your back?" ”

Shen Yan nodded, "I also felt a lot of pain at the time, but I didn't think about the tattoo, I reached out and touched it, and it didn't bleed." Ziwen sat across from me in a muffled voice and asked him what had happened, what about the strange man? Ziwen said that he had left, but ...... I saw Ziwen holding the long flute in his hand. ”

Zhan Zhao frowned, "What about the man in black?" ”

"I also asked, and Ziwen told me that he had already left, leaving Xiao for him, saying that he was grateful to them for saving him." Shen Yan said, frowning, "But Ziwen is preoccupied, I can see that he should just make up two sentences to prevaricate me." But I didn't ask too much, it would be nice to be able to save my life...... Then I got up, and as soon as I stood up, I felt something in my arms, and I reached out and took it out, and it was a scroll. ”

Everyone frowned - scrolls?

"I opened it and there was a painting on it." Shen Yan continued, "It's a snow scene, it's very beautiful, and the painting style is almost the same as Ziwen's. ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both remembered that the Lin family's painting style seemed to have been passed down from generation to generation, if this picture scroll was not painted by Lin Ziwen, then it was probably painted by his relatives, right?

"Not only do I have a scroll of paintings in my hand, but Ziwen also has a scroll of paintings in my hand." Shen Yan said, "And my painting and his painting can still be spliced together, it can be seen that it is two pieces cut out of a whole painting, and it looks like there should be other paintings." At the time, I quipped, was this also a thank you gift from the man? Who knew that Ziwen suddenly said to me with a frightened expression, this painting must be hidden, not let anyone know that I have it, no matter how poor I am, I can't take it out and sell it, in short, I can't see the light of day, once it is known that this painting is in our hands, our lives will be lost! ”

Bai Yutang was puzzled, "What exactly is the painting?" Just an ordinary snow picture? ”

"Well, it's a picture of a courtyard in the snow, and it's very expressive, but I don't know where the courtyard is, it doesn't look like a current building, it looks like an ancient painting."

"Ancient painting ......" Gongsun frowned.

"Ziwen is rarely so strict, and I didn't pay much attention to it, so I went home with the painting." Shen Yan sighed, "But when I went home to take a bath, my brother suddenly asked me why I had tattoos on my body, and I had such a terrible pattern, I looked in the mirror, I was startled, and rushed to find Ziwen overnight, Ziwen told me that he also had one on his back, and said that this tattoo should be hidden, and never let others see it." I thought he was chattering, so I went home with a stomach full of doubts, and when I entered the door, I found that the painting was missing. ”

Zhao Pu held his chin and said in his heart that Nima's story is really full of twists and turns.

"I looked everywhere, and then I heard from my sister-in-law that my third uncle had just entered my room and sneaked away." Shen Yan was helpless, "My third uncle is addicted to gambling, often loses no money to eat, borrows gambling money everywhere, it must be that he thinks the painting is good and sells it, I chased it to the pawnshop, but the guy said that the third uncle did not come, when I returned home, I found that the scroll was placed on the table, and there was such a golden snake hidden weapon next to it." ”

Everyone looked at each other and glanced at the golden snake secret weapon on the table, no wonder Shen Yan had such a big reaction when he saw the secret weapon just now.

"But who knows the next day." Shen Yan said, "The official came to my house and said that my third uncle was dead. ”

Everyone was stunned.

"It's not just my third uncle who died." Shen Yan said, "That day, my third uncle asked a few friends to gamble together, and together with his three friends, they all died in the room, and they were all killed by someone, and the gambling money was not less, so everyone suspected that it was seeking revenge, but there was one thing that was very strange......

Before Shen Yan finished speaking, he heard Zhanzhao ask, "Is it true that the other three people have gambling funds, but your third uncle doesn't?" ”

Shen Yan nodded, "In other words, my third uncle is planning to use this painting as gambling money, and since the painting is back, it means that the one who killed them is the one who sent me the painting."

Everyone nodded, it should be like this.

Shen Yan was helpless, "I was frightened and ran to find Ziwen, Ziwen warned me again, this painting must be hidden, anyone else sees it, they have to die, this time I am lucky, otherwise, my life is estimated to be gone...... But when I asked him what was going on, he wouldn't say. ”

Hearing this, everyone was puzzled - what was Lin Ziwen hiding?

Shen Yan sighed, "Since then, Ziwen has been very good to me, he often invites me to drink and helps me make up the cost of the study, like he owes me something." I was worried all day long, thinking that I would hide the painting so that no one would find it. I later cut off contact with my family, and it had something to do with the painting. After so many years, I also broke off contact with Ziwen early, this painting has always been hidden in the dark grid, I have never taken it out, I don't know why it disappeared......"

Zhan Zhao and the others were a little puzzled after listening to Shen Yan's narration...... Shen Yan didn't seem to know the meaning of this painting, only that his life was at stake and he had to hide it. But Xie Yiting is not, according to the girl of the Xie family, Xie Yiting often admires the painting alone, which is similar to holding a hot potato, which means that Xie Yiting knows the value of this painting!

Bai Yutang looked at Zhanzhao - according to Shen Yan, Lin Ziwen should also have such a painting, so does Lin Xiao have it in his hand?

At this time, I heard Shen Yan say to himself, "Ziwen actually wants to go to Taixue to study, I think he should not be negative when he leaves Taixue, there must be other reasons, he doesn't want to say it, it's a pity...... He had passed away. ”

Everyone was silent, Lin Xiao said that it was his father's lifelong wish to come to Taixue to study, it can be seen that Lin Ziwen was forced to leave Taixue back then!

After that, Zhan Zhao and the others got up and took Shen Yan back to Kaifeng Mansion.

As they walked, everyone pondered - fake golden Buddha, snow scene, the old house of the Jin family, several murders, three golden tops, two tattoos...... It seems that more and more clues are coming together, all of which are connected in series, and they are all inextricably linked to each other. But what exactly is the secret behind these clues? Among the thousands of things, there is one axis missing, and the clues cannot be connected.

When they went back, everyone went to Lin Xiao's house, wanting to go to Lin Xiao and ask about the painting.

As soon as I arrived at the door of Lin Fuzi's house, I heard a melodious sound of the flute......

Shen Yan suddenly froze and stood stupidly at the door, "Is Ziwen here?" ”

Everyone looked at him and was puzzled.

Gongsun said, "I heard Bao Yan and them mention it before, Lin Xiao brought a hole flute, and it was very nice to blow. ”

"Lin Xiao ......" Shen Yan was stunned for a moment, and then surprised, "Is it Ziwen's son?" ”

"Lin Ziwen mentioned it to you?" Zhan Zhao asked.

"It's not...... He only told me that he had a son, but he didn't name him. Shen Yan was excited, "But we often chatted together when we were children, and Ziwen said that if he has a son in the future, he must add the word 'Xiao' to his name." ”

Zhanzhao wanted to knock on the door, and at this moment...... The man who was following behind Bai Yutang suddenly raised his head.

Bai Yutang and Zhao Pu also frowned...... There was a breath above their heads, and someone went in one step ahead of them!

At the same time, Lin Xiao's flute sound also stopped.
