The sun was setting in the west, and it was dusk.

Throughout the day, Ye Feng and the others questioned the servants and maidservants one by one in the villa, hoping to find some clues. After a day of talking, there was nothing to be gained.

Just after dinner, a servant came to invite, saying that the owner Lin Shoucheng invited Ye Feng and others to go to the study to talk, so Ye Feng and the two righteous brothers came to the front of the Tingtao Tower.

Tingtao Tower is a three-storey building located in the middle of Tingtao Villa. Unlike the simple and unadorned style of the other buildings in the lodge, this wooden building is designed and built with ingenuity and ingenuity, although it is not ornately decorated, but it is also extraordinary.

Probably because of last night's bloodbath, there seem to be a lot of Zhuang Ding patrolling and guarding around the building, and they are heavily guarded.

There are no lights on the first and second floors of this building, it is dark, and the doors of each room are closed, I don't know what it is used for, and I don't know what the situation is inside. Ye Feng and his party secretly guessed on the one hand, and went all the way to the top under the leadership of the domestic servant.

The top floor is the owner's study, and it is also the place where the owner retreats and cultivates. Stepping into the study, the three of them couldn't help but light up, but they saw that the room was very spacious, and the bright candles and high platforms illuminated the room. There are windows all around, the walls are full of calligraphy and paintings, and there are several bookshelves neatly arranged in the house, which are densely packed with books, which are probably the ancient books and sword books collected by the old owner of Lin.

Lin Shoucheng stood in the middle of the house, saw Ye Feng and the three of them coming, smiled and bowed his hand. Zhang idiot likes Danqing calligraphy, hurriedly returned the ceremony, did not sit down, ran to the wall to enjoy the famous calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall. Everyone knows that Zhang Nian has a straightforward temperament, and he doesn't care, so he can go.

The guest and the host sat down, and Lin Shoucheng asked with a smile: "I heard that Ye Gongzi has been looking for clues in the village today, I don't know what I found?"

Ye Feng shook his head: "It's nothing special, it's just that the people in your village have said that it is Mrs. Zun who is responsible for arranging the daily life of these three swordsmen, I don't know if I have the opportunity to talk to you?"

Lin Shoucheng said: "It is our duty to cooperate with the government to investigate the case, not to mention that this case involves the reputation of our Lin family, we should do our best to arrange for my wife to accept Ye Gongzi's inquiry tomorrow." ”

Ye Feng clenched his fists and saluted: "This is arranged by the owner of the village." ”

Lin Shoucheng sighed lightly: "The three of them also lived in the guest room of the West Courtyard that day, which is the room where you are living now, but after they left, after the people cleaned it, I am afraid that there was nothing left to check, not even a letter and ink treasure were not kept." ”

Ye Feng nodded: "If you can find the letters they left when they lived here, it will definitely be of great help to visit their situation during their stay here." ”

While talking, I heard Zhang Fatzi, who had been admiring the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, suddenly said "Huh" in surprise. Turning his head to look, he saw Zhang Fatzi standing in front of a pair of calligraphy and shaking his head and said: "The calligraphy and paintings in the owner's study are all handwritten by famous artists, but this Liu Sanchang word, although the calligrapher did not leave a name, this word is really written with affection and meaning, and it is quite skillful." I don't know who wrote it?"

Ye Feng and Xie Zhenliang couldn't help but walk over to look at the words carefully. It reads that Liu Sanchang is a butterfly love flower:

Leaning on the dangerous building, the wind is fine, looking at the extreme spring sorrow, and the sky is gloomy. In the afterglow of the grass-colored smoke, there is no one who will rely on his will.

I plan to get drunk with the madness, and I sing about the wine, and the strong music is tasteless. The belt gradually widened and did not regret it, and it made people haggard for Yi.

There was no signature, Ye Feng read it twice, the words were full of lingering feelings of the people in love, and he vaguely felt the longing and melancholy in this word, and turned his head and asked, "Who is this Liu Sanchang?"

Zhang Fatzi and Xie Zhenliang were speechless, looked at him with disdain, and said: "Liu Sanbian is the original name of Liu Yong, a famous scholar in the Song Dynasty, Liu Yong is a big word, have you always heard of it?"

Of course Ye Feng had heard it, but he had never been very interested in poetry and books, so he didn't know many allusions, and his face was flushed at the moment.

Zhang Fatzi looked at it with great interest and asked: "Judging from the ink paper, this painting should have been made recently, I don't know if it was written by that contemporary celebrity?"

Lin Shoucheng's expression became a little strange, and he looked a little embarrassed, and replied: "This character is written by Yang Jun, a scholar in Jiangnan, who is quite proficient in calligraphy, and has a very happy conversation with Zaixia, and gave it to Zaixia before leaving the village." ”

Jiangnan scholar Yang Jun, didn't Lin Shoucheng clearly say just now that the three of them didn't have a single piece of paper left, why did Yang Jun give a word panel pop up here? Ye Feng and Xie Zhenliang couldn't help but glance at each other, silent.

Zhang Fatzi shook his head and said: "I don't know how this Yang Jun's swordsmanship is, but this word is really extraordinary, soft and endless, quite in line with the artistic conception of this word, with a long aftertaste, not bad." ”

Ye Feng looked at Lin Shoucheng's expression quite embarrassed, so as not to be embarrassed, he diverted the topic: "This Tingtao Tower looks very magnificent." ”

Lin Shoucheng smiled with relief: "This building is the drawings that my father bought from the Tang family in Shuzhong, built according to the map, the first and second floors of the building are stored in the ancient books of the sword spectrum collected by the Lin family for several generations, which are precious and abnormal, and the third floor is used as the study room of the father, and often studies the sword spectrum here all night, so this building is guarded very strictly." ”

Ye Feng's eyebrows moved, the drawings he bought from the Tang family in Shuzhong, then there must be a lot of organs in the building, and there must be a lot of danger. The first and second floors that I passed by just now are all used to store ancient sword books, and I don't know how many organs and how many eyes are watching under the calm on the surface. What kind of ancient sword book needs two floors to store, and it needs to be densely packed with organs to protect it, it seems that it must be an unusual thing.

He said lightly: "The old owner of Lin Zhuang is famous all over the rivers and lakes, and the sword spectrum collected by Tao Villa is the best in the world, and there must be many people who want to come here to fight the idea." ”

While talking, he walked to the window, Ye Feng pushed open the window, and at this moment the night was thick, and the moonlight was quietly sprinkled throughout Tingtao Villa.

This building was built in the middle of the villa, and from the upper floor, they had a panoramic view of the guest rooms in the west courtyard. It turned out that everyone in the West Courtyard could see every move here, and Ye Feng secretly moved in his heart.

The south courtyard on the side is the residence of Lin Shoucheng and his wife Liu Ruowu, and the lights are bright at the moment, and the servants are in and out, very busy.

The smaller courtyard next to it with black lights was the East Courtyard, and Ye Feng asked, "Master Lin, who lives in this East Courtyard?"

Lin Shoucheng sighed and said: "The East Courtyard was originally the residence of my father and mother, since my father went mad five years ago and killed his mother by mistake, he closed the East Courtyard and forbade others to enter, and it has been uninhabited for a long time. ”

Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, he pointed to the east courtyard and asked, "Since it has been closed and forbidden to enter, who is it inside now?"

Lin Shoucheng was also stunned, and when he walked to the window, he saw a little fire floating in the darkness of the east courtyard!

The fluttering light of the fire was a lantern.

The lantern was a little dark, holding it in a person's hand, this person was moving, so the lantern was swaying and moving, the light was reflected on this person, Ye Feng and Lin Shoucheng looked at it fixedly, and suddenly the two of them felt a chill piercing the bone marrow, and the chill rushed straight to the top of their heads, and suddenly their scalps were numb and cold sweat broke out, and their hearts seemed to be tightly grasped by a hand, and they couldn't breathe.

This person carrying the lantern was wearing a green shirt, and under the hazy light, this person happened to turn his head to look upstairs, his facial features were vaguely discernible, and it turned out to be Gu Qingyi, one of the Wudang double swords who was in front of the bamboo hut in the morning!
