Phoenix Lake is located in the south of the city of Bianjing City, leading the water of the Guangji River into the lake and forming, in the city, the place where the people can play casually, is only the most convenient here.

Shen Guhong and Wen Yongjie came to Phoenix Lake, but they saw that many princes and nobles were rowing boats in the lake. The lake is turquoise and reflects the blue sky, and several verdant hills in the distance are reflected in the lake, and people and boats seem to swim in the middle of a painting.

"How do you check this?" Wen Yongjie couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Shen Guhong said: "Lian Shijin only got his shoes wet, which proves that he only walked by the water, and the kind of yellow mud under his feet is only found here!

"Then why did he come here, and why did the murderer send him back to the door of Jinxiu Tower after killing him?" Wen Yongjie said.

Shen Guhong said: "If this mystery is solved, this case will be solved!"

Wen Yongjie said: "It seems that we have to get to know this Lian Shijin again, he shouldn't be as simple as just a student!"

Shen Guhong said: "This may be what the murderer wants us to think." ”

"So, why kill him?" Wen Yongjie said.

Shen Guhong said: "Don't forget, he is one of the people who are most likely to win the top prize, and many people have made bets on him! If he dies, who will be the one who will benefit the most?"

Wen Yongjie listened to this, patted his head and said: "Why do you feel more and more complicated? Those who bet have many gangs in the vicinity, as well as those princes and nobles, and in addition, it is possible that they are jealous of his students!"

Shen Guhong said with a smile: "So at this time, you can use Wen Da's trick of catching heads!"

"What tricks do I have?" Wen Yongjie smiled bitterly.

Shen Guhong said: "You have been investigating cases for so many years, and you haven't come up with some tricks to eliminate possibilities? If so, isn't every case like looking for a needle in a haystack?"

Wen Yongjie said: "There will be some rules, but not every case is practical, and this case is the most complicated nowadays, but it is comparable to an unsolved case!"

Shen Guhong said: "Since it's useless to continue to think about it, then let's go and drink, maybe drink and drink, and the method will come out!"

Wen Yongjie said: "Now it can only be like this." ”

"Jinxiulou, you're in for a treat!" Shen Guhong said with a smile.

What else can Wen Yongjie do besides spreading his hands?

The wine in Jinxiu Lou is indeed better than that in other places, but it is also more expensive than in other places. Shen Guhong is a person, he can drink expensive wine, and he can also get used to cheap wine, he chose to be in Jinxiu Building, not because he wanted to pit Wen Yongjie, but because he drank in this place, maybe he could get some unexpected gains.

Lian Shijin died, and as a friend, he was naturally sad, but also happy. Those who are sad are not necessarily true friends, but those who are happy must be opponents. After all, there is such a thing as taking the top prize, and one less competitor can have one more chance.

Shen Guhong and Wen Yongjie sat on the edge of the gate, because sitting here can not only observe the movement of people in the restaurant, but also pay attention to the people entering and leaving the restaurant.

The two asked for a pot of wine, ordered two side dishes, and chatted while drinking. But at this moment, Ding Cheng walked down from the second floor and said with a smile: "The two of you don't call me when you drink, it's not interesting enough!"

"Who is this?" Wen Yongjie didn't know Ding Cheng yet.

Ding Cheng is a self-acquaintance, and introduced: "In Xia Ding Cheng, from the Daimyo Mansion, I have a reputation like thunder!"

Wen Yongjie said with a smile: "Ding Cheng's name as a talented man, Wen has known it for a long time!"

Wen Yongjie is half of the officialdom, and naturally has some understanding of students everywhere, unlike Shen Guhong, who is an authentic Jianghu person.

Ding Cheng said with a smile: "Wen Zhutou has won the prize!"

"You came here to drink, but you were absent-minded, it seems that it must be as simple as drinking, right?" Ding Cheng said again.

Shen Guhong said: "It's not as simple as drinking, what else can you do?"

Ding Chengdao: "Although people did not die in the restaurant, but after all, it still affected the business of the restaurant, as far as I know, there are several people in this restaurant, all settled the accounts and lived in the title inn next door!"

Both Shen Guhong and Wen Yongjie knew that Ding Cheng had deliberately told them this. At that moment, Wen Yongjie picked up the wine glass and said, "Thank you, this glass of wine is for Brother Ding!"

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Ding Cheng was not polite, he directly picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and then said: "The two of you drink slowly, the younger brother is not strong enough to drink, so go back to the room to read a book!"

Ding Cheng left the wine table, walked to the counter of the shopkeeper, and said, "The shopkeeper, their wine money is mine!"

Shen Guhong said with a smile: "It seems that you are lucky today, and you will have a noble person to help you when you come out to invite a guest!"

Wen Yongjie sighed and said, "This Ding Cheng is really a good person, he knows that we still have to go to the title inn to drink, so he saved me a little!"

Shen Guhong said: "It seems that he is indeed a talent, and he can pinch and calculate!"

Wen Yongjie glared at Shen Guhong and said, "Let's go, white eater!"

When Shen Guhong heard this, he couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh. After the two walked out of the inn, the students upstairs began to discuss.

"Who is this person, he is not good at reading books, carrying an iron box and a head catcher to go around, it is really a shame for us readers!"

Shen Guhong is the same age as many students, and he appeared in Jinxiu Building twice, no wonder people will be misunderstood that he is also here for scientific research.

"He, people are in relationships, you read the book for 20 years, and the champion is not yours, but the world only needs to get through the relationship, maybe the champion is someone else's!" The person who spoke was the person who saw Shen Guhong and Mi Fang enter the Kou Mansion yesterday.

"What's the relationship with him? Besides, after this exam, if you want to get the top score, there is another level that is personally checked by the saint, could it be that he even has a relationship with the saint?"

"Hmph, ignorance, I personally saw this kid go to Kou Mansion yesterday. The man replied.

"Which Kou Mansion? Could it be the address of Kou Xiangye's mansion?" The man was finally shocked, and then shook his head again and again: "No, Kou Xiangye is just right, so he won't do such a thing!"

"Alas, how many people can explain the affairs of this world clearly? How many people can do it? False, all fake!" someone sighed.

These students would never have imagined that their conversation today would cause a lot of turmoil in the capital. Because at this moment, someone with a heart is sitting next to him and drinking. Every time Wang Qinruo takes a scientific expedition, he will come to this Jinxiu Building to choose a few rich people to make some money, and this year is no exception. It was none other than his son-in-law Xie Jinwu who came to find someone for him. Xie Jinwu heard the conversation of these people, and had already come up with a vicious plan to deal with Kou Zhun.

Shen Guhong and Wen Yongjie came to the title inn, and Xiao Er greeted him with a smile on his face, and said, "Does the guest officer stay in the hotel or eat?"

Wen Yongjie said: "Eat, fry two of your best dishes, serve two bowls of rice and a pot of wine!"

"Okay, wait a minute, come up!" Xiao Er's agreed while busy.

Shen Guhong and Wen Yongjie sat in the corner and said, "Business here seems to be good!"

"I know the title inn, that is, I can make more money at this time, there are few opportunities to make money on weekdays, and I have been robbed by the Jinxiu Building opposite!" Wen Yongjie said.

Shen Guhong said with a smile: "The wine and food on the opposite side are so expensive, and the room is even more ridiculously expensive, who wants to go except to greet the rich?"

"It is true that Jinxiu Lou is the largest restaurant in the capital, but it is not all expensive, of course, there are cheap ones. With a little more copper coins, you can eat and live several times better than here, do you say that the guests are willing to go to the other side or here?" Wen Yongjie said.

The two talked for a while, and the younger one brought the wine, food and rice. Indeed, as Wen Yongjie said, the food on this side is really not at the same level as Jinxiu Building.

The two ate and drank for a while, but at this moment, Fang Hongjie, Fang Hongyuan, Duan Jing, and Yang Qi came downstairs. Among the four people, the most arrogant is Duan Jing, and the one who will be left and right is Yang Qi. As for the brothers Fang Hongyuan and Fang Hongjie, the characteristics are not so obvious. In general, all four of them are really talented and learned.

"It turned out to be Brother Shen, I met here, what a coincidence!" Yang Qi smiled, he couldn't avoid it, so he could only come up to say hello. After all, when he was in Taibai Academy, although Shen Guhong was a person who did not learn and did not know how to do it in their eyes, he had a special relationship with Mo Qingfeng. For the four of them, Mo Qingfeng is their reborn parent, and it is normal to be polite to Shen Guhong.

Shen Guhong said with a smile: "Several of you are all great talents, but there is only one champion, Bangyan, and Tanhua, there will always be unsatisfactory after this test, why don't you sit down and drink two glasses of wine, and leave the rest to Providence to arrange?"

Fang Hongyuan took a step forward and said, "I believe in the will of heaven, but I believe in myself even more!"

Duan Jing said lightly: "This time, as long as we can all be admitted to the Jinshi, it will win glory for Taibai Academy, but Brother Shen, do you plan to continue to mix like this?"

Shen Guhong knew that Duan Jing was not scolding him with this, but reminding him that compared to Yang Qi's sleekness, he liked Duan Jing's arrogance more.

Wen Yongjie couldn't listen anymore, and immediately asked, "Brother Shen, do you want to take the top prize?"

Shen Guhong smiled: "Do you think I can be admitted?"

Wen Yongjie smiled: "I don't know if you can pass the test, but if you take the test, it will definitely be a very interesting thing!"

Shen Guhong said: "I'm such an uninteresting person, how can I do those interesting things?"

"Rotten wood can't be carved!Go!" Duan Jing looked stern, and walked out of the door of the inn with Fang Hongjie, Fang Hongyuan, and Yang Qi.

"I didn't expect Brother Shen to be a rotten tree, what should that pillar of talent look like?" Wen Yongjie couldn't help it, and laughed out loud at the moment.

"Anyway, it's not like me!" Shen Guhong also smiled.

Although the two were eating, drinking, and chatting, all the movements in the inn could not escape their eyes. At this time, there were a few more students from the Splendid Inn, and after they booked a room, they went to study in their own room.

"Let's go, this meal is finally over!" Wen Yongjie stood up and stretched as if she had just gotten up.
