Chapter 536 Afterimage(1/2)
Zhan Zhao and others came out of the Imperial Academy and inexplicably felt that they had been sold again. It turned out that Lin Xiao asked them to go to the Imperial Academy to be this...
But the three idle people, including the Heavenly Lord Yin and Xiao Sizi, were still very excited and were ready to study how to participate in the Fourth Academy competition.
Zhan Zhao sighed.
They just asked Master Lin Xiao about the clues about the person who gave Zhu Yuaner's fan. Master Lin certainly didn't know it. Besides, the clues were not sufficient. Most of the students in the Imperial Academy looked like beautiful scholars. God knows who that person was.
As soon as everyone left the Imperial College gate, Ouyang Chunhua and the others ran over, as well as Zhao Lan and Yi Yi.
Chunhua asked, "Where are you going? Are you going to the ghost house?"
Everyone looked at him with brows raised.
"We want to go and see that golden sculpture!" Zhao Lan's eyes were bright, probably because she heard Nangong go back, so she wanted to take a look.
Zhan Zhao looked at Ge Qing, and that meant - can Zhao Lan go?
Zhao Lan squinted her eyes and looked at Ge Qing.
Ge Qing was helpless, "If everyone went there, there should be no problem."
At this time, Lin Xiao also walked out with Master Lin in the academy.
Master Lin was also a little interested in Jinsu, probably because Master Wang went back and said it just now.
Zhan Zhao saw that it was still early and there were no clues now, so why not take a trip, so... everyone turned around and went to the old Jin family house.
Tianzun pulled Lin Xiao over and said that his father owed him a cedar picture, which made Lin Xiao inexplicable.
When he learned that Tianzun had a meeting with his father before his family was in trouble, Lin Xiao became serious and promised to draw pictures for him, and he could draw any plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, but he asked Tianzun to recall in detail who his father had talked to at that time and what was wrong.
Zhan Zhao felt a little bizarre when he heard about the murder case ten years ago, so he followed him to listen.
On the other hand, Ouyang Shaozheng and Zhao Pu and the others were chatting, saying that Cao Lan and Jiang Yi were on duty these days and guarding the old house of the Jin family. At night, soldiers said that they had hit a ghost, which was very strange.
Bai Yutang had no interest in haunting or old cases, so he walked slowly behind.
At the end of the team, there was a small carriage. Lin Yueyi and Zhao Lan were in the carriage. Ge Qing walked on the side of the carriage, at the door of the carriage, and was sitting yawning Lin Yehuo.
After all, Zhao Lan has a golden branch and a jade leaf, so she can't run around the streets.
Bai Yutang looked back and saw Ge Qing suddenly wavering to him.
The fifth master slowed down a little and waited for the carriage behind him to come up, and the two walked side by side.
Ge Qing pointed at him in the carriage. Bai Yutang was puzzled, so he listened to Zhao Lanzheng and Yi Yi in the carriage.
Yi Yi asked, "Are you sure?"
Zhao Lan seemed a little hesitant, "Well... it feels like."
"Look at it carefully!" Yi Yi lifted the curtain of the car and let Zhao Lan see it.
Lin Yehuo leaned against the door frame and looked at the two girls, "What are you looking at?"
Zhao Lan squinted her eyes and looked at the Tianzun who were walking side by side in front of her. Lin Xiao and Zhan Zhao scratched their heads, "It really looks like they are, and their figures seem to be similar."
Bai Yutang looked at Ge Qing with some confusion.
Ge Qing said, "The princess just said that Lin Xiao looked very much like the man in white who stole books that she saw in Master Lin's study that day."
Bai Yutang frowned slightly, "Confirm?"
Ge Qing shrugged, that's what the princess looked at. You'd know what the princess looked like. It was hazy when she left ten steps, it was confused when she was twenty steps, it was confused when she was thirty steps, it was not different from men and women, it was not different from forty steps, and it was fifty steps away to look at the stars.
Bai Yutang frowned, why was it so coincidental, but the only witness was the only one who looked so badly.
Lin Yehuo asked Zhao Lan, "The backs are almost the same. Are you sure they look like them?"
Zhao Lan pouted, "Well...feel..."
Bai Yutang looked at Lin Yehuo.
Lin Yehuo squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Xiao's back, thinking, "Is this kid loyal or treacherous?"
"But that day, Lin Xiao tried to find the burned books and made great efforts." Bai Yutang frowned slightly, "I didn't know what to do."
"Maybe people have similarities, maybe... they will be more obvious if they want to cover up." Lin Yehuo held his chin.
"Actually, it's not necessarily. Maybe I've read it wrong!" Zhao Lan was afraid of a misunderstanding in a while, "Lin Xiao doesn't look like a bad person."
"There is a way to try him." Bai Yutang said, "Qiu Jian and the others who kidnapped the princess that day were still in the Kaifeng Prefecture prison. If Lin Xiao was the mastermind behind the scenes, then Qiu Jian and the others should know him."
Everyone nodded.
Bai Yutang thought about it, took a few steps, and whispered a few words to Zhao Pu.
Zhao Pu raised his eyebrows slightly, called Zheying and Ziying, and asked them to raise Qiu Jian and asked them to recognize Lin Xiao.
Everyone remained silent and continued to rush to the old Jin family house.
When they arrived at the foot of Xishan Mountain, Zheying and Ziying came back. They had just taken Qiu Jian and took a look at him not far away. Qiu Jian shook his head and said that Lin Xiao was not the one who traded with them. The man looked a little gentler and didn't look like him.
So, Bai Yutang and others looked at Zhao Lan.
Zhao Lan sat in the carriage and touched her chin - did I see it wrong...
Everyone went up to the west.
Zhao Lan and Yi Yi were walking behind Bai Yutang. At this time, there was a roadblock set up by the Imperial City Army in front of him. Lin Xiao was helping Master Lin to walk up. In front of the roadblock, he gave the road out for Master to walk, and he turned over and leaped over the roadblock gently.
Zhao Lan happened to see it, touched her chin and tilted her head, "Yeah..."
Bai Yutang turned his face slightly and noticed that Zhao Lan was obviously still confused behind her.
Zhan Zhao, who came to walk side by side with him, also turned around, curious about what happened to Zhao Lan.
"It's really similar!" Zhao Lan frowned, "Especially the action of climbing over the fence just now is exactly the same as the action of the man climbing over the window, or am I remembering it wrong?"
Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang in confusion.
Bai Yutang whispered to him.
Zhan Zhao thought for a while, "If you read it wrong, it's another matter, but if you read it right, Lin Xiao is really the one who steals books, at least it means a little bit."
Bai Yutang nodded, "It may be him who steals the books, but it may not be him who arranged for Qiu Jian and the others to kidnap the princess and burn the bookshelf."
Zhan Zhao nodded, "Lin Xiao's background is not a big problem, but he came to Kaifeng not to study, but rather to say that he was here to investigate the cause of his parents' death."
While talking, everyone reached the fork in the road halfway up the mountain.
There is a small tent of the Imperial City Army halfway up the mountain. From here, there are two roads, one is to go to the back mountain, and the other is to go to the old Jin family house.
It’s a coincidence that everyone came today, Cao Lan and Jiang Yi were in the orthogonal class.
Cao Lan was about to leave, and said to Jiang Yi, "You pay attention to it tonight."
Jiang Yi nodded.
Zhao Pu asked curiously, "What should I pay attention to?"
Cao Lan hugged her arms and said, "Last night, a team of soldiers who were patrolling the old house of Jin's family were frightened by two timid people."
"Female ghost?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, thinking of the man in white who was climbing the cliff to find a gap that day. He originally thought she had escaped from the back mountain, but did he return to the old Jin family house?
"This house is so evil!" Jiang Yi also frowned. "Several teams of soldiers said they saw ghosts at night, and people were panic if they continued like this."
Zhao Pu raised his eyebrows, "Find a cage and find a way to arrest him!"
Cao Lan and Jiang Yi were powerless - Sure enough, the marshal wanted to catch and raise any monster when he saw it.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang frowned. They definitely didn't believe the ghost, but not only the Imperial City Army, but other people who accidentally broke into or wanted to steal had encountered ghosts in their houses. Why did the ghost stay in the old house of the Jin family without leaving? There were many masters in the Imperial City Army. If the ghost came and went without knowing it, the ghost's kung fu should be quite good.
Zhan Zhao wanted to stay in bed tonight and guard this ghost. There were many people who had the same idea as Zhan Zhao.
Zhao Pu and Lin Yehuo were both interested, so everyone made an appointment to guard the old house of the Jin family tonight and see what the ghost was from!
...
After seeing the statue of Santou Jintuo, Ge Qing sent Zhao Lan back to the palace.
Master Lin Xiao was amazed at the giant statue. Lin Xiao stood in front of the golden statue with his face raised, as if he was thinking.
After being reminded by Zhao Lan, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both paid more attention and observed Lin Xiao.
What should I say? Although this young man is young, he seems to have many secrets.
Pang Yu hugged his arms and asked Lin Xiao, "Are you stupid?"
Lin Xiao came to his senses, looked at Pang Yu, and shook his head hesitantly, "Uh..."
"What?" Bao Yan also came up, "This thing looks even more scary during the day than at night!"
The rest of the people also nodded. Indeed, they didn't look scary at night. They looked inexplicably intimidated during the day, which probably had something to do with their ugly face.
Lin Xiao was silent for a long time and suddenly spoke, "I seem to have seen this thing."
Everyone was stunned.
Zhan Zhao asked, "Have you seen a portrait or a real object?"
"It's not a portrait, nor a real object...it's a tattoo." Lin Xiao whispered.
"Who have you seen this tattoo on your body?" Everyone was curious.
To be continued...
