Chapter 322: Lore
Shen Lingxi heard Liu Meiren's words, and his face did not show the slightest surprise.
This Mr. Chunshan, since Liu Meiren saw him and Yun Chong that day, although Liu Meiren had seen the true face of this person, she found that behind this person, there was a person who had never shown up in charge of the situation, manipulating him to act.
The people behind it are uncertain, and even the way to deliver the news is not the only one.
Or find a little beggar to deliver the news, or use a flying pigeon to pass the book, or send someone to secretly put the secret letter in a certain place, and then let people pick it up.
In short, Liu Meiren and several revenants tried for several days, but they couldn't find out who the person who gave the secret order to this Mr. Chunshan was.
There is only one point, Shen Lingxi can be sure according to the way the person delivered the news-
On the day of Emperor Xiaode's violent death, the person who secretly instructed the little beggar and the flower girl to quietly send an embroidered picture to the Zhenguo Mansion must be the one who instructed Mr. Chunshan behind the scenes.
Today, Shen Lingxi and Chu Yan specially chose to come here when they heard the news that Mr. Chunshan was going to talk about poetry and Taoism with others.
It is to give the people behind the scenes a "chance", and also to give themselves a chance.
"When is he going to do it?" Shen Lingxi walked outside, approached Liu Meiren and asked softly.
Liu Meiren: "In his small courtyard, I just saw that someone put something in the smoker in his room. β
While the two were talking, Mr. Chunshan downstairs had already opened his mouth, "Today I am fortunate to be loved by everyone, Chun is really ashamed, today is to talk about poetry and Taoism with people who are destined, and what he wants is the word 'fate'." β
As he spoke, he took out a piece of letterhead sealed with fire paint from his sleeve, and said: "Chun will write down the things he wants to talk about today on this piece of paper in advance, and you all have paper and pen in front of you, and you can also write down the things you want to talk about on paper." Those who are the same as Chun's book are the people who are discussing tea with Chun today. β
Since the people present admired the name of Mr. Chunshan, they naturally did not follow his proposal, and they picked up pen and paper one after another.
Liu Meiren said to Shen Lingxi: "I just looked at that piece of paper, and it is blank. β
Shen Lingxi glanced at her, smiled, picked up the pen, and wrote the word "embroidery" directly on the white paper.
"Eh......" Liu Meiren said puzzledly, "You wrote on it, won't you have a chance tonight?" β
Shen Lingxi smiled silently.
Although Chu Yan didn't hear the conversation between the two, when he saw the words written by Shen Lingxi on that piece of paper, his eyes showed a sudden look.
He reached out and folded the paper and handed it to the waiting servant at the door of the box.
A quarter of an hour later, Mr. Harayama opened the fire paint on the letterhead in publicβ
In vigorous handwriting, two words were written on it, "embroidered picture".
Liu Meiren's eyes widened, "This...... How is this possible?! β
"Since it is the bureau of inviting you into the urn, it is natural that what we write, he will write on the piece of paper, if not, how can he invite us into the urn." Shen Lingxi said with a light smile.
While talking, the downstairs began to uncover the notes written by the guests in public, and special people sang the contents one by one.
There is no suspense, the box where Shen Lingxi and Chu Yan are located won the opportunity to "talk about poetry" with Mr. Chunshan face-to-face tonight.
Although the box had crimson gauze curtains to cut off the sight of others, Shen Lingxi could still feel that there were countless eyes looking at them from all directions.
Downstairs, Mr. Haruzan said some polite words in public and then retreated.
Shen Lingxi glanced at Liu Meiren.
Liu Meiren understood, followed behind him, and floated away first.
There was a sound of knocking on the door outside the box, Shen Lingxi asked Chu Yan to take a pill she had specially made, and the two of them walked out of the box one after the other, followed the little guy who led the way, and walked through the atrium and towards the backyard in full view of everyone.
Originally, because of Mr. Chunshan's departure, the atrium, which was full of people, became silent because of the passage of Shen Lingxi and Chu Yan.
Tonight, Shen Lingxi is easy to look at, but he still looks at his face, but Chu Yan shows his true face.
Although he is dressed in a low-key manner, his handsome face and his aura of not being angry and arrogant make it difficult for those who have seen him to admit their mistake.
After they left the atrium, the guests began to whisper among themselves, "I read that right, it turned out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." β
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came down to find Mr. Chunshan, and also wrote the word 'embroidered picture', and wanted to sit and talk with Mr. Chunshan, isn't Mr. Chunshan aware of where the embroidery picture is hidden?"
"Mr. Chunshan is well-informed, and he has a reputation in this place of three religions and nine streams, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has failed to offer a heavy reward for embroidery drawings, and it is reasonable to come to this side door and go the left way......"
Because of Chu Yan's appearance, everyone present had a higher evaluation of Mr. Chunshan in their hearts.
Shen Lingxi and Chu Yan didn't know anything about it and didn't care.
The backyard of the drunken flower courtyard is separated by many courtyards by rockeries, and the little maid takes them to turn left and right, and stops in front of the easternmost courtyard.
He stepped forward and pushed open the courtyard door and said to the two, "Mr. is waiting for the two of you in the room." β
The courtyard was empty, except for the candles in the upper room, and the delicate and ethereal sound of the piano came from the room.
The souls of Yun Chong and Xu Yuanshan were floating under the corridor, and the two of them looked at Shen Lingxi with a hint of schadenfreude on their faces.
The two of them should have been enemies because of the Li family, probably because "the enemy of the enemy is a friend", but it was rare to see Shen Lingxi "share the same hatred".
Shen Lingxi glanced at them mockingly, turned his head sideways and said "be careful" to Chu Yan, then stepped forward and pushed the door open.
I thought that Mr. Haruhama would sit elegantly in the room and play the piano.
Unexpectedly, at the moment when Shen Lingxi pushed the door, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.
A thick bloody breath came to the face.
In the middle of the room, there was a jade screen carved with pictures of flowers and birds in the four seasons, blocking the sight of Shen Lingxi and Chu Yan.
The two looked at each other solemnly and walked into the room.
As soon as they turned the screen, the two of them saw a man dressed in white and wearing a Kunlun Nu mask hanging behind the screen.
The man's chest was pierced with a bloody hole with a sharp weapon, and there was a scarlet scar on his neck, wrist, and ankle, and blood was gurgling out of the scar, flowing on the ground like a silk thread that would not break.
At the same time, on the sleeve on the right side of the man's shirt, someone nailed a half-embroidered picture.
That embroidery picture is the missing half of the entire embroidery after Shen Lingxi finished spelling the embroidery map collected in his hand!
Next to the corpse, there is a gilded copper furnace, and a newly lit incense thread is rising.
In Shen Lingxi's sight, there was a dead soul wearing a Kunlun Nu mask, slowly pulling out of the corpse.
And Liu Meiren, who was supposed to be guarding next to this person, was nowhere to be found.
At this moment, the little maid who had stopped at the gate of the courtyard seemed to sense that something was wrong and walked into the house.
When he saw the scene behind the screen, his eyes widened in horror.
"Ahh Kill, kill! Kill! β
He let out a hysterical scream, trembling in two streams, and crawled out of the room...... (End of chapter)
