Well, I can say that. Pei Xizhi glanced at Qiao Ran and Ah Sheng, then turned his head to look at Ruyu, "What you promised me before, it counts!" ”

Ruyu's expression was cold: "No matter who the last one is, I will hand him over to the government." ”

Pei Xizhi nodded and said, "That's fine." Even if it is handed over to the government, he will not be able to escape death, so why should you have another life in your hands? ”

"I've promised you." Ruyu frowned, "Tell me quickly, who is the last person." ”

Pei Xizhi snorted and spread out the twelve paintings taken out of Jiang Shanchang's room one by one, which was also the first time Qiao Ran saw these twelve paintings left by Jiang Shanchang. Jiang Shanchang, who was good at painting landscapes, left behind twelve portrait paintings, all of which depicted women dancing.

"Ten years ago, the hairpin banquet was set up in Luoyang, people always say that the talented and beautiful, the hairpin banquet is a gathering of talents, during which there are naturally few beautiful people to help the fun. Yuliu, the first prostitute in Luoyang, is the beauty of this hairpin banquet. "Pei Xi's way," However, on the last day of the hairpin feast, Yuliu accidentally fell into the water and died, which eventually became a big regret. ”

Some things only need to be said in a few words, and they are understated, but when you think about it, it makes people feel cold all over the body.

If Yuliu really fell into the water and died accidentally, so many people would not have died.

Pei Xizhi dipped his handkerchief in water and carefully wiped the twelve paintings.

Jiang Shanchang's twelve paintings only depict the graceful dancing of women, but the face is extremely blurred.

"Yuliu's dance is a must in Luoyang, and Miss Ruyu should be no stranger to Sister Ling's dance!" Pei Xi said while wiping the painting.

Ruyu seemed a little surprised, but she still walked over to him, and it was the first time that she carefully looked at the last painting left by Jiang Shanchang. After a while, Qiao Ran heard her exclaim, "This is my sister!" ”

The paper and pigments used in Jiang Shanchang's paintings seem to be extremely special, and after the treatment of water, the surface layer slowly melts away, and those originally blurred facial features gradually become clear.

Although there are still only a few brushstrokes, Jiang Shanchang's painting skills are enough to bring the woman's charm and demeanor to life on paper.

Twelve paintings, after encountering the water, gradually revealed their true faces, they danced, graceful, all painted by the same woman.

On closer inspection, this woman's facial features are very similar to Ruyu's, and only a tear mole under her eyes adds a bit of poignancy to her.

"It's not just one person, but if you look closely, the scene in the painting should be the same." Ah Sheng's voice rang out again.

Qiao Ran glanced at Ah Sheng: "You have a lot of talk today." ”

Ah Sheng smiled and didn't speak again.

"It's a scene, indeed." Pei Xizhi pointed to one of the paintings and said, "The railing here is the same as the railing in that painting, and half of the soft couch appears here, and its head is also exposed in that painting." ”

"Ten years ago, the hairpin banquet was set up in Luoyang Star Picking Tower, and the painting painted the scenery on the top of the Star Picking Tower." Ruyu glanced at it lightly and said.

"The twelve paintings left by the mountain chief before his death are the scenes of the famous Luoyang prostitute Yuliu dancing on the top of the Star Picking Tower." Pei Xizhi said, "The death seal of the mountain chief has already given the result, and he committed suicide. ”

Ruyu said: "I didn't kill him." ”

"Soon after he came to Jinling, he discovered me and recognized my identity at the first sight. I really wanted to kill him, but I couldn't just listen to Lin Zhishui's family, so I wanted to ask him what happened on the night my sister died. ”

"He only said that he knew and would give me an explanation, but after waiting for a long time, I waited for the news of his suicide from Lin Zhishui."

"Lin Zhishui said that Jiang Xiao committed suicide because of guilt and a difficult conscience, and he was also one of the murderers," Ruyu said and glanced at Lin Zhishui, "Originally, in Luoyang, I only believed Lin Zhishui's words, he said that it was Yu Mufeng and they were drunk and disorderly, and my sister didn't comply, so she was pushed off the Star Picking Tower." But after coming to Jinling to meet Jiang Xiao, I felt that maybe things were not so simple. ”

It is not easy for a Qinglou woman to stand out, at that time, Yuliu became famous for her dancing posture, and finally became a famous "everyone" in Luoyang, and after becoming "everyone", she no longer accepted customers, and no one forced her to do what she didn't want for a long time. Yuliu probably didn't expect that he didn't have an accident among the benefactors of the Qinglou, but he had an accident at the hairpin banquet where all the celebrities were celebrities.

"Lin Zhishui is lonely and arrogant, he has always thought that he is the first person in the world's painting world, but ten years ago, he was the last of the six, after Jiang Xiao committed suicide and I killed three people in a row, he came to me and said that Yi Zhaonan was also present back then, let me kill Yi Zhaonan, am I so stupid?" Ruyu sneered, "Master Pei, it doesn't matter if you can't give me the truth today, there are only the last two left in the Star Picking Tower on the night of my sister's death, and I will kill them all, so I will avenge my sister." ”

"The mountain chief said to give you an explanation, and he never broke his word." Pei Xizhi's eyes flashed with death, "This is what he told you." ”

Is twelve paintings an explanation? Ruyu looked indifferent.

"The mountain chief chose to commit suicide on the day when the famous people gathered in Jinling, in fact, to warn the murderer of the year." Pei Xizhi said, "Even I can see through the mystery in the painting, and a famous artist like a gentleman is afraid that when he sees those paintings for the first time, he will already understand the clues hidden in the paintings." ”

Jiang Xiao left twelve paintings of Yuliu, apparently to expose the events of that year.

Hearing this, Qiao Ran suddenly realized: "No wonder even if Jiang Shanchang died, several gentlemen not only did not worry about their own safety, but they still had to find a way to get rid of the officials sent by the government to protect them and act alone." ”

Pei Xizhi nodded: "Yes, I didn't understand this matter until now." Feng Yuan went to the Qinhuai River that night to look for a prostitute, afraid that he was also worried that the events of the year would be revealed. It's just that she didn't expect that today's Ruyu is not the Yuliu of the past, she borrowed superb makeup methods to get close to Feng Yuan, and took the opportunity to kill Feng Yuan.

It was Huang Zijiu and Yu Mufeng who went to the restaurant teahouse that night to inquire about the news, and they waited and waited, but when Feng Yuan's accident came, they knew that something was wrong. So she found an opportunity to get rid of those officials and went to Deyuelou to talk about countermeasures, but she was in the hands of Ruyu, she used incense poison to take away Yu Mufeng, who couldn't move, and let Huang Zijiu die in front of people, preparing to plant Huang Zijiu's death on Yu Mufeng.

"Yu Mufeng told me before he died that the painting was not made by him," Ruyu looked at Lin Zhishui, who looked panicked, "I know that this hypocrite who always seeks revenge on me is not innocent, he is just trying to get rid of those opponents who are as famous as him by borrowing my hand, and everything he told me may be false." ”

"Compared with Lin Zhishui, Jiang Xiao's words may be more credible." Ruyu glanced at the twelve paintings and sighed, "It's just that I can't understand the explanation he gave me." ”

"The mountain chief's words are indeed more credible, and he did give you an explanation." Pei Xizhi paused as he spoke, and took out the last scroll of paintings wrapped in a cloth bag, "He knew that the clues he left behind would definitely not be the people from the government who would be the first to discover these clues, but Feng Yuan and others." ”

"When I saw these twelve paintings, I was afraid and surrendered, and that was the best." Pei Xizhi said and glanced at Qiao Ran, "But it would be too stupid to completely pin your hope on the conscience of the person who has escaped responsibility for ten years." Therefore, Jiang Shanchang left the last key piece of evidence. ”
