After Zhong Shaoyu inquired about the news with Mr. Storyteller, he went back to the restaurant with Jiang Yu, and happened to pass by the Lin family shop mentioned by Mr. Storyteller in the east of the city.

Zhong Shaoyu looked at Jiang Yu in surprise, and saw that his expression was flat and there was nothing abnormal, but when he also wanted to eat, he didn't think much about it, touched a small piece of silver from the money bag, and entered the shop.

When she came out again, she had an extra box of osmanthus cakes and some broken silver in her hand. Back to Jiang Yu, she returned the broken silver, Jiang Yu didn't even look at the broken silver, directly reached out to take the osmanthus cake she bought, and walked straight to the direction of the restaurant.

Zhong Shaoyu checked the broken silver taels in his palm, looked at Jiang Yu's back and was silent for a moment, and did not hold Jiang Yu and insisted on returning him, but generously stuffed it into his pocket and caught up with Jiang Yu.

It was late at night when I returned to the restaurant, the crowd on the lively street had dispersed, and the whole Kyoto had become extremely quiet, and I couldn't even hear the barking of dogs.

When they woke up on the second day, Zhong Shaoyu and Jiang Yu went to Gaofu first, the "Gao Chu Mountain" in Kyoto was dead, in the eyes of outsiders, his death was tragic and like a haunting, and the original housekeepers and servants of Gaofu had already found another way to make a living and escaped.

It can be seen that the original "Gao Chu Mountain" was high and powerful, and the location of his mansion was the best location in Kyoto, covering a huge area, and the feng shui was very good, but since his death, this place has probably been defined as a murderous mansion, and it is still empty, and the untended courtyard is overgrown with wild grass.

This mansion is obviously in the most prosperous center of Kyoto, but the inside is eerie, giving people a chill on the back of the bones, and even the surrounding sounds seem to be cut off, and the whole courtyard is quiet.

Zhong Shaoyu and Jiang Yu walked around inside, and they didn't find anything, if there was anything strange, it was that there was a painting hanging on the wall of the bed in the main house.

The painting was very old, the paper was yellowed, the paint was not used well, and the color had fallen off in many places.

In the painting is the back of a woman, dressed in white, standing among the flowers.

Although it is just a back, I can feel that this woman should be a peerless beauty, but the style of clothes on her body is a little old, which is the style that was prevalent in Kyoto at that time when Zhong Shaoyu was alive in the previous life.

So the person in the portrait is likely to be from 20 years ago?

If the person in the portrait is still alive, wouldn't he be over half a hundred years old by now?

Zhong Shaoyu stared at the picture and looked at it, but she really couldn't understand the reason behind it, there was really nothing to check in Gaofu, she and Jiang Yu left through the back door of Gaofu after turning the last place.

Since the Gao Mansion can't find out anything, the next place to go can only be the Imperial Palace.

It is not difficult for Jiang Yu to enter the palace, with his current strength, he can definitely enter and exit the palace without knowing it. But Zhong Shaoyu can't, the body she is wearing now is too shallow to cultivate, and she will definitely not be able to sneak into the palace quietly.

But it's not difficult, it's a coincidence that she came, the palace happened to be in the big draft these days, Zhong Shaoyu made up a fake identity for himself, and went to fish in troubled waters to register for a name.

Probably because the drafts have been too frequent in recent years, there are really not so many suitable women to send to the emperor, and it is probably because the rumors of cannibalism in the palace are too realistic, many people talk about marriage as soon as they reach the age in order to avoid the draft, in order to make up enough for the number of people in this draft, but almost all the show girls who signed up were not checked how to pass, and they passed.

Zhong Shaoyu made an appointment with Jiang Yu to meet in the palace, and then entered the palace with the team of show girls, out of curiosity, Zhong Shaoyu probably glanced at the show girls who entered the palace this time, they are indeed young women, but the quality is really not very good, these show girls are more or less defective, obviously some have long and short legs, some buck teeth, and some are full of freckles...... Of course, not all of them are like this, far away from Zhong Shaoyu, there are two show girls who look very outstanding, one of them has big eyes and baby face, beautiful and delicate girlishness, and the other is surprisingly tall, which can be said to be unique among the show girls, his waist is very thin, but he has kept his head down, and he can't see his face clearly.
