When everyone saw that Mu Yinquan had only arrived at this time, they guessed what the result was, so they all surrounded them. Mu Yinquan waved his hand and sat down and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, wait for the old man to drink saliva." Then he drank a cup of tea, took a long breath, and then said: "The old man came out of the palace late, and he was almost locked inside. After everyone listened, they knew that Mu Yinquan had been in the palace all day.

Mu Yinquan continued: "Early this morning, the old man brought two volumes of Song carved poems, before Lin Gonggong asked for it, the old man was not willing to give him up, you must know that the Song carved book is very precious, the so-called one page of Song paper one or two gold. When he arrived outside the palace gate, he sent a little eunuch out to take the old man in, and saw him in a living room in the Donghua Gate. Lin Gonggong saw the two volumes of Song carved books given by the old man, and happily opened his old face, saying that he had not received the money to buy it before, but today the old man sent it to the door, and there must be something to ask for. The old man said: "That's right, give gifts and ask my father-in-law about someone, the former national eunuch Li Gonggong ......."

Speaking of this, Mu Yinquan stopped and took a sip of tea, and continued: "As soon as the old man mentioned the national eunuch Gonggong Li, Gonggong Lin's face suddenly changed greatly, and he hurriedly retired from the eunuchs left and right, and asked the old man to inquire about what Gonggong Li was doing, he was no longer in the palace and had been missing for a long time. I said that the old man knew about this, and now at the invitation of a few friends on the chess road, I came to inquire if the national eunuch Li Wusan had obtained a chess master's demon book in the collection of the Ouchi Imperial Library? When Father-in-law Lin heard this, he was immediately frightened and hurriedly told me to be quieter. The old man felt that there was a way to do something, so he tried his best to ask. That Lin Gonggong sighed, as if he was very remorseful, but he didn't answer the old man's words directly, but only said that the old man should not care about this matter, otherwise the emperor would know about it and kill his old man. The old man grinded for a day, and never asked for a result, and when he saw that it was getting late, he had to say goodbye and say that he would come back tomorrow. When Father-in-law Lin heard that the old man said that he would come tomorrow, he panicked and hurriedly expressed his attitude, saying that he would say outside the palace tomorrow, and there would be many inconveniences in the palace. I said, 'All right! When I come to my husband's house tomorrow, I must make it clear. Father-in-law Lin had no choice but to respond, but he asked the old man to promise that no outsiders should be present, and the old man also responded to him. No, it's too late to come back. When they heard this, they were all puzzled.

Liu Baixi said: "Our guess is still reasonable, it seems that Gonggong Lin is an insider, but why is he so nervous and afraid, but it is also strange?" Fang Guochuan pondered for a moment and said: "Gonggong Lin may know the truth about Li Wusan's practice of ghost chess and evil arts, it may be the demon book and evil spectrum in the forbidden book in the Ouchi that he provided to Li Wusan, this person is the key to unlocking the truth of Li Wusan's ghost chess killing, and tomorrow I hope that Mr. Yinquan will ask him carefully, and he will definitely ask for a result." Mu Yinquan said: "Don't worry, this old man knows that he should do his best." After chatting for a while, Mu Yinquan got up and left.

At noon the next day, Mu Yinquan came to the Baixi Chess Gym, and as soon as he sat down in the living room, he shook his head and sighed: "This old monster is very rigid, and he asked for a while, and he still refused to tell the truth. The old man will go outside the palace gate tomorrow and shout, saying that Gonggong Lin privately let the Ouchi collection of books flow out of the palace and scatter among the people, so that the emperor will know and cure him for dereliction of duty. This really shocked Gonggong Lin, and he said that he had done something wrong, which violated Emperor Taizu's teachings, and he had to say it so far. Gonggong Lin then proposed that it was a matter of chess secrets, and he wanted to personally tell the friends on the chess path who entrusted the old man, that is, Fang Gongzi and Mr. Baixi, and he wanted to tell the truth of the matter. But there is a condition, don't come to him again in the future, let alone let these things be known by the palace, everything in the future will have nothing to do with him, and agreed on a place to go, let us go to see him tomorrow night, and also want us to ensure safety, the old man naturally depends on him. When everyone listened, they were at ease. Liu Baixi said: "The matter has come to this point, and it will be done." Fang Guochuan nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

After lunch, Fang Guolian and Bu Yuan came to the inn to visit Qu Liangyi, Qu Ning'er was very happy to see the two of them, but told him that Qu Liangyi had two or three more seizures in the morning, thanks to a guy who stopped him, he didn't run out, and he was tired at this time, so he fell asleep on the bed. Fang Guohuan comforted Qu Ning'er again, seeing that Qu Liangyi was okay, he felt a little at ease, and then found the guy from before with Bu Yuan, and then with him five taels of silver, and asked the guy to go to the medicine shop, grab a few packets of soothing medicine and come back, fry it and eat it with Qu Liangyi, knowing that it is useless, but for the time being, it can only be like this.

In the evening of the next day, Mu Yinquan came to the Baixi Chess Hall early, made an appointment with Liu Baixi, Fang Guolian, and Bu Yuan, and went out to hire four sedan chairs to go east. After passing through several streets, turning around and turning into an alley, when he walked to the door of a house, Mu Yinquan at the head called the sedan chair to stop, and the four of them got off the sedan chair, and Bu Yuan sent the sedan chair man with silver taels. Mu Yinquan stepped forward at this time and gently buckled the door knocker three times, as soon as the door opened, a child leaned out, and when he saw that it was Mu Yinquan, he opened the door wider, let four people in, and closed the door casually. Mu Yinquan said to the little boy: "Little Yanzi, when did Gonggong Lin arrive?" The little rock said: "Mr. Hou has been for a long time, let's go over quickly." Mu Yinquan said to Bu Yuan again: "Please ask Bu Zhuangshi to guard the courtyard to prevent people from suddenly disturbing." Bu Yuan said: "There is Bu here, you can rest assured." After that, he took off the overlord bow from his back and patrolled the courtyard.

At this time, it was already dark, and the little rock led Mu Yinquan, Liu Baixi, and Fang Guolian through a long aisle to the deep backyard of the courtyard. Walking to the door of a house, Xiao Yanzi stopped and said, "Gonggong Lin is inside, everyone go in." With that, he went to another room. Mu Yinquan pushed open the door, entered the house with Liu Baixi and Fang Guolian, and saw an old eunuch with white hair and eyebrows, aged Longzhong, and nearly 100 years old, sitting under an oil lamp opposite. Mu Yinquan stepped forward and arched his hand, "Gonggong Lin, my two friends, Mr. Liu and Fang Gongzi, have arrived. Father-in-law Lin said lightly: "The three of you sit down, the old man has something to say." Then he opened a pair of cloudy and godless eyes, and looked much older again.

Liu Baixi and Fang Guolian each gave a salute to Gonggong Lin, and then sat next to Mu Yinquan. Father-in-law Lin said slowly at this time: "The old body did something wrong, it is related to the father-in-law Li you want to ask, I hope that when you meet Gonggong Li in the future, you will persuade him not to do any more trouble, so as to reduce some of the sins of the old body." Fang Guochuan shook his head and said, "It's a pity that it's too late, a chess friend of mine has been killed by that Li Wusan in chess." "What?" When Gong Lin heard this, he was shocked and said, "That ghost chess can really kill people?" As a result, he was said by the national teacher Liu Bowen. Fang Guolian, Liu Baixi, and Mu Yinquan were stunned when they heard this, and at the same time felt a terrible ominous omen.

Father-in-law Lin said quietly at this time: "The old man has been in charge of the Ouchi Imperial Library for more than 60 years, and after Jiajing, Longqing, and Wanli, he has been three generations of the Son of Heaven, and he has never made a mistake. Inheriting the emperor's holy grace, I have to live so far, but I didn't expect it...... Alas! Gonggong Lin sighed, and then said: "When the old man just entered the palace, he was assigned to the imperial library and waited for the then head of the father-in-law, and a year later, he won the trust of the father-in-law. Gonggong De once warned the old man that the imperial library is a place with a very rich collection of books in the world, and all the classics can be read and consulted, but they must not be lost outside the palace and scattered among the people, otherwise they will be severely punished. One of the books can not be read, saying that this is the last instruction of Emperor Taizu, listed as a forbidden book, not to be touched by future generations, the old body was very curious at the time, so he often asked what kind of book it was. At first, Gonggong De kept silent, but after a long time, seeing that the old body was still diligent and clever, and especially loved books, he wanted to hand over the future of the imperial library to the old man, so he told a story, a story about the forbidden book. ”

Fang Guohuan hurriedly asked, "May I ask my father-in-law, what kind of story is it?" Lin Gong said: "Duke De said that after the former Emperor Taizu destroyed Chen Youliang, he found a book in the secret room of his palace, called "The Book of Chess", Emperor Taizu saw that this book was strange, and Chen Youliang did not reveal it, so he summoned the national teacher Liu Bowen to look at it. After reading it, the national teacher saw that the text of this book was full of demagogic and strange words, and the chess skills contained in it could disturb people's minds and seize people's souls. The national teacher was shocked when he read it, and he knew that the chess way was also divided into evil and good, and played the great ancestor and said: "This is a demon book, which can kill people, please ask the emperor to burn it, so as to protect the elegant style of chess in the world and avoid disasters." However, Emperor Taizu's book of sexual curiosity is a unique book, forbidden but not destroyed, and is secretly stored in the Imperial Library of the Great Inner Palace, only warning future generations not to read it. The national teacher later predicted that when the chess game was flourishing, this book would be obtained by a eunuch like me, who would learn the evil art of ghost chess and murder, causing a disaster for a chess player, and it would be difficult to become a chess player. Now it seems that the disaster has happened, is it the will of God? Hearing this, Fang Guolian, Liu Baixi, and Mu Yinquan were stunned and amazed.
