Eunuch Huang has provided many noteworthy clues, but the case is still confusing. Please use it to visit this site.

After seeing off Eunuch Huang, he saw Wang Chao and Ma Han running over. He also came with them, including Black Shadow and White Shadow.

Wang Chao Ma Han was sent by Lord Bao to Yaoxiang Pavilion to investigate the case. After all, from the boss to the three female workers, they all died in the alley for no reason, and the death was too tragic. This case was linked to the case of the ghost-faced man because Si Tong shouted the name "Qu Zhongyuan" when he was too frightened.

Black Shadow and White Shadow were sent by Zhao Pu to stare at the suspicious Minister of Justice Si Tong to see what he was doing behind his back.

The four of them rushed over and probably found something.

Everyone asked the Dynasty Ma Han to say first.

After the incident, the two of them rushed to Yaoxiang Pavilion with the yamen runners as soon as possible. There was no one in the pavilion, and the room was very messy. It seemed that someone had searched for it, but the valuable gold, silver and jadeware were not taken away, so it should not be a profit.

"What are they looking for?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

Ma Han said, "All the books are gone."

"Leasebook?" Everyone frowned slightly.

"Yeah." Wang Chao also nodded, "There are also many medicinal materials, raw materials for cooking, and recipes."

"Even the recipe?" Gongsun was curious and thought to himself that he had been snatched away by his colleagues?

"It's strange!" said Ma Han. "Yaoxiang Pavilion is doing a high-end food business. In fact, there is only one business like them in Kaifeng, and there is at most one table a day. To be honest, I haven't snatched away many customers. There shouldn't be many peers who need to compete to kill people."

"That way of killing is hated." Bai Yutang said lightly, "If you can kill people like this, there is no second reason besides taking revenge."

Zhan Zhao and Lin Yehuo nodded. This is a technique of the people in the martial arts world, a typical example of blood debt and blood compensation, otherwise the person who commits the crime has a problem with his brain.

"The other party took all the paper away." Ma Han and Wang Chao said, "but we suspected that they did not find what they really wanted, because we found a lot of tincture oil in the corners of the walls and the cloth in the room."

"Turethane?" Ouyang frowned, "Is it that I want to burn the fire, and it's over?"

"That's right." Ma Han nodded, "but we might have rushed there in time, and a large number of officials and yamen runners were also very disturbed, so the fire didn't have time to light up."

"Oh?!" Zhan Zhao's eyes lit up, and he touched his chin and began to think about his thoughts.

Zhao Pu looked at Heiying and Baiying again, "How are you staring at Si Tong? Are there any clues?"

"Yes!" The black shadow took out a letter from his arms and said, "After Si Tong returned, he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, sighing restlessly, and he looked like he was in trouble.

Later we saw him writing a letter in the study, but after putting it in the envelope, he hesitated again, and finally turned around and stuffed the envelope under the bed.

We waited for a long time, and when he got up at night we stole the letter.

Zhao Pu took the envelope and frowned slightly, "Written to Lord Bao?"

The shadow guard nodded.

Zhao Pu followed the situation and handed it to Zhan Zhao.

Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't have to wait until Lord Bao came over. Just open it and check it out. What if there are any important clues that are delayed?

So Zhan Zhao took out the letter and spread it out. After everyone saw it, they frowned slightly - it turned out that this was a letter of surrender from Si Tong.

The contents in the letter are roughly as follows.

Si Tong said that he did not have outstanding grades when he was studying. His career was originally bleak, but he was promoted by Master Wang Feng. Now he can achieve the third-rank Yuan Dynasty and shine in his family.

The department Si Tong was always puzzled. Why did Wang Feng recommend such a mediocre person as the Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice? It was not until later that Wang Feng told him to do things that he realized that it was because of his mediocre talent that Wang Feng used him. Not long after Si Tong became the Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice, Eunuch Ning, beside Wang Feng, came to him and asked him to do two things for his son-in-law.

The first thing is that serious offenders from the Ministry of Justice, especially those who are death row prisoners, are transferred before execution.

As for how to transfer the package, Wang Feng didn't need to worry at all. He just told the people sent by Eunuch Ning about the exact time before the execution. However, he surrounded the execution platform with white cloth on the day of the execution, and then sent someone to collect the body. As for whether the body was originally the death row prisoner, no one knew whether it was the original death row prisoner. Anyway, they were all wearing prison clothes and were bloody, and the death row prisoners were buried at that time and were not handed over to their families.

The second thing is that the Ministry of Justice often has serious offenders sent to the border. Eunuch Ning asked Tong to tell him the number, time and path of the person sent to him, and arranged for the escort of the official sent to him.

Si Tong was full of doubts. What should a person like Wang Feng do to a death row prisoner? At first, Si Tong thought that Wang Feng had a personal grudge or a personal relationship with those who had serious crimes, but the other party often wanted such a serious crime, which was really suspicious.

No matter whether people are smart or not, they are curious. Si Tong once sent his confidants to follow the prisoners who were escorted and found that they were not sent to the border, but were knocked unconsciously and put into a box when they walked halfway and left. Then, they were transported away without knowing it and disappeared.

Si Tong wrote in the letter that day, he had originally gone to Yaoxiang Pavilion because of his father's 80th birthday, and wanted to choose a day to order a banquet, but found that Yaoxiang Pavilion was in a mess, and the boss and the chef were not there. There were only a few men in black looking for something. One of them had a look... Although he only took a look from a distance, he recognized that it was Eunuch Ning from Haotian Tower.

Si Tong was very confused at the time. He was timid and didn't know if it was a thief in Yaoxiang Pavilion, or if there was something else. He ran away quietly. On the way back, he happened to see Liu Yaoxiang from Yaoxiang Pavilion, taking three cooks in a hurry, running into an alley with his bags and running into a life-like escape.

Si Tong was also curious at the time, and when he got home, he was about to pass the alley. He walked to the entrance of the alley by a devil and saw a chef's head rolling out, his body fell down, and blood was covered in the ground.

In that bloody alley, there was a person standing next to the corpse, and his back... Si Tong will never forget it for the rest of his life.

The man turned around and Si Tong saw a white ghost face with blood. He fainted at that time. When he woke up again, he found that he was found in the pile of corpses and was found by the people from Kaifeng Mansion.

Si Tong said that the back was Qu Zhongyuan's. Zhongyuan turned into a ghost and came back to take revenge. Only the heaven and earth knew about Qu Zhongyuan, and the gods knew about ghosts. Si Tong was not very clear about the details, but he once accidentally heard Eunuch Ning talk to Wang Feng about Qu Zhongyuan and other things. At the same time, there was another sentence that impressed him - twenty years, only a few twenty years in a person's life? This is the last chance.

At the end of the letter, Si Tong said that although he had never really participated in any bad things in his life, some things were known but not rewarded, which was equivalent to sitting in this position with his eyes closed and his conscience against his conscience. After thinking about it, he felt uneasy, but he was weak and had no intelligence, so he dared not report and investigate, and only asked Lord Bao to find out the truth. If he still had life, he would resign and return to his hometown and accumulate virtue and do good deeds. This time, no matter whether the person who killed the person was Zhongyuan's ghost back then, he spared his life after all, which made him feel very guilty and uneasy.

After reading the letter, everyone remained silent for a long time. Why did Qu Zhongyuan disappear back then? Shi Ye is now... Who has a few twenty years in his life? Ji Changtian and Qu Zhongyuan are twenty years apart, and Qu Zhongyuan and Shi Ye are twenty years apart. Why did Wang Feng have so many death row prisoners? What does these people have to do with the so-called twenty years?

Zhan Zhao handed the letter to Wang Chao Ma Han and asked them to take it to Lord Bao. Zhao Pu asked the shadow guards to continue staring at Si Tong, and at the same time, he asked Zou Liang to secretly contact Si Tong. It would be best to find out what Wang Feng wants those serious criminals who are about to die and find an opportunity to follow them.

Everyone acted separately, and Zhan Zhao poked Gongsun and pointed to the little fourth son who was about to go to take a shower and sleep. "Gongsun, Xiao Sizi lend me some money."

Gongsun was a little puzzled, but he still handed over the little fourth son to Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao hugged Xiao Sizi and pulled Bai Yutang, "Let's go to Yaoxiang Pavilion."

Bai Yutang understood that Zhan Zhao probably wanted to find something that people didn't find, and wanted to set fire but didn't have time to find something that everyone couldn't find, and the best way to find something that everyone couldn't find was Xiao Sizi's luck.

Gongsun and Zhao Pu were very curious, so they followed him. As for Xiao Liangzi, he was naturally the one who went wherever Xiao Sizi went. Anyway, he was good at kung fu and clever, so it would not be a problem to carry it.

There was nothing to say on the way, and everyone rushed to Yaoxiang Pavilion as fast as possible and found that many yamen runners were stationed, not airtight.

Zhan Zhao hugged Xiao Sizi and entered Yaoxiang Pavilion. As soon as he entered the door, Gongsun rubbed his nose, "What a big smell of medicinal herbs, has it knocked over something?"

"There are some yellow medicine powder on the ground." Bai Yutang pointed.

Gongsun frowned, leaned over and raised a little and looked, put it down, "It's sulfur powder."

"Sulphur powder?" Zhao Pu frowned, "Can this thing be used to cook?"

Gongsun smiled dryly, and saw some black powder. He followed him and found a lot of scattered beside a cabinet, so he came to the front of the cabinet and took a look...

"There may have been many bottles and jars here." Gongsun leaned against his nose to identify the smell and frowned, "In addition to sulfur, there are saltpeter, cinnabar, realgar, yellow wood, alum..."

"Is there anything here that I won't die after eating?" Zhao Pu couldn't help speaking, and Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also walked over to take a look.

"This is not something to make food." Gongsun stared at the cabinet for a while and said, "This is for alchemy."

"Refining alchemy?" Zhan Zhao was surprised, "Besides cooking, do you also refining alchemy?"

Gongsun took out a piece of yellow paper from his pocket, wiped it on the wooden cabinet, raised his hand, and saw a layer of green on the yellow paper.

Everyone's mouth twitched - usually, whether it is paper or needle given by Gongsun, the color of the color is basically not good, green, purple, black, and red, all are poisonous.

Gongsun put away the paper and stood up, "These are not cooks, but witches."

"The Witch?!" Everyone was surprised.

"Do they refine poisons, or the kind of highly poisonous ones?" Gongsun frowned. "While refining medicines, they also open a restaurant, and they are really happy to eat here."

Everyone frowned, what is the legendary spending money to suffer?

"I haven't heard anyone die after having a meal in Yaoxiang Pavilion." Zhao Pu was curious.

Zhan Zhao nodded too.

Gongsun frowned and shook his head, "There are very poisonous things that can kill people. Many can cause hallucinations, some can become addicted, and some can control people. This is a very evil type of alchemy technique. These women are definitely not ordinary cooks."

"What a pity." Gongsun sighed, "The medicinal materials, prescriptions, and account books have all been taken away. Otherwise, I would definitely find something, at least I know what medicine they are doing."

"Maybe there is still hope." Zhan Zhao said, picked up Xiao Sizi, put it on an empty table, and said, "Little Sizi."

The little Sizi blinked and looked at Zhan Zhao.

"Yes." Zhan Zhao looked at him, "Is there anything hidden in this house?"

The little Sizi tilted his head, "What are you hiding? Private money?"

Gongsun pinched his cheek, do you still know the money for private money?

"Anything is OK," Zhan Zhao said, "Look carefully, where is suspicious."

"Well..." Xiao Sizi touched her chin, looked up with her face. After looking around, Xiao Sizi tilted her head and pointed to a window on the wall, "Where."

Everyone also raised their faces and looked at the window, not sure what was suspicious about the window.

However, Bai Yutang still jumped up, looked at the window, smiled, reached out and pulled it gently... and pulled it down.

Everyone looked again and found that behind the window there was a concave wall that did not lead to the outside.

"It turned out to be a false window." Gongsun was also surprised, "It seemed to be true.

Bai Yutang put the window on the table, looked at it, and found it was a box, so... opened it.

After the box was opened, I saw that in addition to a few large silver notes worth thousands of taels, there were also a book.

Take out the notebook and open it, and you will see it as an ordinary account book, which year and month, which business you did, which dishes you prepared, how much you cost, and how much you earn.

However, there is something unusual about this ordinary account book, which is that next to some transactions, some words are marked with a red cinnabar pen. For example, behind an ordinary osmanthus cake, it is marked with a cinnabar pen, plus spice one, or next to bird's nest soup, and plus spice two.

There are about a dozen types of spices. Each dish has its own special mark. At the same time, add a sum to the final income and how much silver is charged. Everyone found that the prices of spices are different, but they are all ridiculously expensive! The lowest price starts at 100 taels.

"What kind of spices cost so much for hundreds or even thousands of taels?" Zhan Zhao felt puzzled, "How much does this table cost."
