Master Lin Xiao had nothing to do today. After dinner, he found a few old friends to have tea. In the evening, he walked back to the shop opposite the Taixue School to buy some braised food and jar of wine, and prepared to go home to have two glasses with Lin Xiao.

But when the old man came out of the shop, he found several carriages parked at the entrance of the Taixue School. He was a little puzzled - I don’t have class today, who is inside?

When the old master walked into the Imperial Academy, he heard it was very lively. In addition to the sound of flipping through books, there were also vocal discussions. After listening, he heard a "fish tail..."

Master Lin was confused - what fish tail? Frying dishes?

When I walked into the door, I saw several tables in the yard in front of the study, and there were many books piled up by the table. A group of Imperial College students were gathered together to flip through books, as if they were looking for some information.

The old man looked at it carefully. Bao Yan, Pang Yu, Ouyang Chunhua, Zhao Lan, Yi Yi, Wang Qi, and Jiangnan's three talents are all... Of course, Lin Xiao is also there.

"What are you doing?" Master Lin asked curiously.

Everyone turned around with a "sweeping" sound, and said in unison, "Teacher."

Master Lin wanted to laugh a little. It was good to be young, one or two people were dancing around. The old man walked over to read it and saw that the local chronicles were all read.

"What are you looking for?" Master Lin knew that this group of students was probably helping Kaifeng Mansion again.

Zhao Lan asked very seriously, "Teacher, do you know the fishtail ferry?"

Master Lin touched his beard, "Well... I haven't heard this for a while."

After hearing Master Lin's words, everyone raised their heads and looked at the old man, "Teacher, have you heard it?"

Master Lin said, "I heard it when I was a child." While saying that, the old man found a chair and sat down, "When I was a child, I went to the northwest with the young master. In the tavern, I heard a couple quarrel in the tavern. The woman scolded the man and left the Fishtail Ferry. I also asked what the Fishtail Ferry meant. An old man sitting next to me told me that it was a swearing thing. Fishtail Ferry is a ferry. Men who abandoned their wife would fall into it and would never be reborn."

"Do you specifically scold men?" Yi Yi asked.

Master Lin said, "It's probably both, it's a kind of curse unique to couples."

"Couple..." The young men touched their chins and thought.

Master Lin was very curious and asked Bao Yan, "What strange case did you encounter in Kaifeng Mansion again? Let you investigate these strange things in ancient times."

Bao Yan told Lin Xiao about the incident of finding the "fish tail pillow" and the man in the well.

The Master seemed a little surprised, "The fishtail pillow found in the Peacock Lake in the Imperial Garden in the palace?"

Bao Yan nodded.

"And then there was a palace maid hanging herself by the Peacock Lake?" Lin Master Lin frowned, "Are they the family of the victim of the Xu Ji case?"

Bao Yan nodded.

Pang Yu stretched out his hand and pulled Lin Xiao’s beard, “Old man, do you know what you know?”

Master Lin hurriedly protected his beard and patted Pang Yu's hand, "It's big or small."

"Teacher, just tell me what you know." Bao Yan said, "I have never had any clues about this case."

Master Lin looked at everyone and whispered, "About five years ago... a palace maid committed suicide in Peacock Lake."

Everyone looked at each other and was curious, "The palace maid committed suicide?"

"Time seems to be right." Pang Yu nodded.

Zhao Lan was surprised, "Who committed suicide? Why haven't I heard of it?"

The Master whispered, "What do you think? This matter did not alarm the emperor, and many people didn't know... Only the Empress Dowager and a few guards knew about it."

Everyone looked at the Master suspiciously - how did you know?

"That's right." said the Master, "The palace maid is called Feiyue, about... ten□□? She committed suicide by jumping into Peacock Lake. After the case happened, I was called into the harem."

The children all looked at the Master with their eyes wide open, and Yi Yi asked, "Master, do you have anything to do with that palace maid?"

Master Lin shook his head, "No, originally a palace maid who died in the imperial garden of the palace would not make such a big deal. Maybe he fell down? But this is different! Before the girl died, she set up a formation by the Peacock Lake, which was quite evil, so the empress dowager was a little worried, so she went to see me. Many people don't know that this was because the emperor was in real power for a while, and he was afraid that those who were interested would make some rumors and disturb the harem, so he kept hiding it."

"Oh..." Everyone understood.

"What then?" Pang Yu was curious, "What formation did she form?"

The Master spread his hands and said, "I didn't understand."

Everyone stared at him.

"Then how did you hand in the job later?" Pang Yu was curious.

Master Lin smiled, "I made up one with the Queen Mother, saying that the palace maid wanted to be a good child in the next life, so she created a reincarnation array, which had nothing to do with the national destiny and the safety of the country. So the Queen Mother felt at ease and the matter was over."

"Wow!" The students were in a panic.

Bao Yan opened his mouth wide, "Master, you actually lied to the Queen Mother!"

Lin Xiao made them amused, "What do you think you should do?"

"At least find someone who recognizes the formation!" Zhao Lan said.

"What formations, curses, are all lies!" Master Lin shook his head and said, "Think about it! If this thing is really useful, why are you still fighting? There are countless witches and wizards in the Western Regions, how can you not defeat the Ninth Prince? They found someone to put the formations at the door of Heifengcheng, and they lost in the end?"

Bao Yan and others nodded, "This is..."

"I had forgotten this matter for a long time, but when you talked about it, I felt that the time was in line, and..." Master Lin said, reaching out to take Lin Xiao's flute, and drew a few waves on the sand beside him, and said, "I remember a feature of that formation back then, that is, there are patterns similar to fish tails around it! I felt that I had painted a lot of fish tails, but I didn't think much about it."

"Fish tail..." Bao Yan looked at Pang Yu, "It's the fish tail again!"

The little marquis nodded and said, "Fish tail...fish tail...braised fish tail..."

Bao Yan took a book and photographed him.

But the others raised their heads.

Yi Yi spoke, "I'm hungry."

"The braised fish tail sounds like a good meal!" Chunhua also said.

So...the students rushed out for supper.

Master Lin shook his head helplessly and got up to have dinner with the students. While walking, the old man recalled the formation he had back then, and then drew it for a while and asked Bao Yan and the others to take it back for research.

...

Put down Bao Yan and wait for others to go to dinner, and said that they would go back to Zhan Zhao and the others.

Following Tianzun, Yin Hou, Xiao Sizi and Xigulu came to the vicinity of Huangshi Yushu. Zhan Zhao and the others found a roof ambush with a better view.

Looking down from the roof... The door of the Yellowstone Jade Shop is open. The scale of this jade shop is really not big. In addition to jade, it seems to sell some antiques and so on. It is obvious that it is a small business.

In the jade shop, the young man who had just fought with the Mei brothers was there, and was wiping a porcelain plate with his head down, but the old woman was not there.

The Tianzun walked into the jade shop, and Yin Hou followed him in. The young man kept wiping the plate with his head down until Xigulu walked in, and the young man looked up.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang recalled that when the fight was before, the old woman seemed to be called this young man Ayi.

The first step of Xigulu stepped into the door and tripped by the threshold, and staggered... The little four son sitting on his shoulder fell down.

Xigulu reached out to answer, and he was also anxious. He gently picked up Xiao Sizi, leaned forward, and then put his head on the door frame, and then he heard a "click".

Tianzun and Yin Hou both turned back...

Xigulu kicked the threshold and broke the door frame, but Xiao Sizi caught it.

Xigulu didn't feel the pain either. He held Xiao Sizi to his eyes and looked around. He was relieved when he found that he was not hurt.

Xiao Sizi stretched out his little hand and rubbed his forehead, "Does it hurt?"

Xigulu really didn't hurt at all. He looked back at the door frame that was shorter than himself, and disgusted his face, "If the people in the Central Plains are not tall, the house is too short!"

The little Sizi tilted his head, "That's right..."

Xigulo nodded.

On the opposite roof, Zhao Pu shook his head helplessly - it turns out that he was causing trouble! The jade shop's door will definitely be compensated.

Bai Yutang was a little relieved - at least his master hadn't started to cause trouble yet.

Zhan Zhao reminded, "That young man seems to have a bad temper. Will he fight with Xigulu?"

Zhao Pu and Bai Yutang looked at each other - if the fight starts immediately, how should we investigate?

The young man raised his head and looked at the broken door frame and threshold of his home, staring at Xigulu in a daze.

The little Sizi knew that he had been in trouble at a glance. She quickly apologized to the young man and asked in a low voice, "How much does the door frame cost?"

Ayi finally moved, looked at the little fourth son, and asked Xigulu, "Are you not a Han person?"

Xigulu nodded, pointed to the threshold, and said, "What kind of straits do I have in my hometown..."

Ayi nodded, "There are indeed many houses in the west that have no threshold. Next time I hold my child, be careful."

The little Sizi and Xigulo both nodded.

Xigulu put Xiao Sizi on the ground. Xiao Sizi ran over and raised her face and told Ayi that they would compensate if they broke the door. However, Ayi waved his hand and took a piece of pastry on the table for him, saying, "It's okay, I'll make it back if you buy a piece of jade in a while."

The little Sizi nodded to him with a smile, thinking that this brother is a good man and has a good temper.

Even Xigulu thinks that the Central Plains is not entirely "bad silver"!

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other - this is Ayi, who fought with the three brothers of the Mei family just now? Are they twin brothers? Why are they so good-tempered?!

Tianzun also thought the store had a good temper. Yutang said it was difficult to deal with, so he spoke, "Oh! Little brother."

Ayi was stunned, turned around and saw the Tianzun and Yin Hou in the store. He was shocked and opened his mouth wide, "When did you... you two come in?"
