The case was so fast that Zhan Zhao and others could not take care of it. A body of Liang Youdao was just discovered in the morning. Xu Ziyan almost died at noon. Now Wang Yueming died again. Lord Bao only had a few classmates back then, and three of them died in one breath. It really makes people unable to link the deaths of these people with Qu Zhongyuan's disappearance back then. Please visit the latest free chapters of this book.

Zhan Zhao first asked Lord Bao and the Eighth Prince, is this Wang Yueming familiar with Qu Zhongyuan?

Lord Bao was a little embarrassed, "Brother Qu likes to make friends more. He has a cheerful personality. I was introverted back then, and..."

"And because of his good grades and carefulness, he is often caught by the master of the Imperial Academy to sort out files or write things." On the side, the Eighth Prince interrupted before Lord Bao finished speaking. "Xiren was already a famous talent in Kaifeng for less than a year after studying in the Imperial Academy. Even the Emperor knew him. Because the Emperor liked his calligraphy, many ministers asked Xiren to copy it before or after writing the memorial, and then presented it to the emperor. The emperor would feel much better when he read it, and the possibility of correcting the memorial was higher than usual!"

Zhan Zhao and others couldn't help but raise their eyebrows - Oh!

Zhao Pu also touched his chin. In fact, many people ignored the identity of Bao Ren and the talented man, mainly because his skin was too dark, which was far behind the white-faced scholar like Gongsun in the traditional sense!

"Hey... So our family was not particularly clear about the relationship between students in the Imperial Academy back then." Mr. Bao seemed a little ashamed, "I don't even know some of my classmates."

"So..." Bai Yutang frowned and pointed to the list in Zhan Zhao's hand. "Which adults don't know which kind of friendship Qu Zhongyuan has better relationships?"

Lord Bao had no choice but to spread his hands.

Everyone looked at the Eighth Prince again.

The Eight King was even more helpless, "I didn't even live in the school dormitory. At that time, the Ninth Brother and the Emperor were still young, so I spent most of my time taking care of the children."

Everyone looked at the Eighth Prince speechlessly, thinking about it, the Eighth Prince should have only been ten times when he was studying at the Imperial Academy. Based on his current appearance, I didn’t know how handsome he was more than twenty years ago. Such a handsome and young prince, with two children every day... And Zhao Pu was probably two or three years old at that time, and Zhao Zhen was still in his infancy...

Everyone looked up and imagined the scene at that time. Inexplicably, they felt that the picture was so funny...

"Oh..." The Eight King seemed to be in the memory, holding his arms and shook his head, "To be honest, it was really hard to take care of when he was a child! The emperor has been so well-behaved since he was a child. You'd be fine if you sit down obediently and listen to his sister-in-law telling stories..." As he said, the Eight King patted Zhao Pu's forehead, "A dozen servants can't bear to watch it even if they are three and a half years old! They either go up to the house to remove tiles or dig holes in the ground all day long, especially if they can't take them out, they're simply letting go!"

Zhao Pu's mouth twitched and he thought to himself - Brother, are you sure you talk about me? Why does it sound like describing some kind of animal?

On the side, Gongsun and Xiao Sizi covered their mouths and smiled dullly.

"The most annoying thing is that once I climbed a tree and fell asleep, we thought we lost it. The entire palace people searched for him for a day. Later, the veteran General Ouyang sent five thousand elite soldiers to search the Kaifeng Palace. In the end, Shaozheng found it. He slept in the tree and drooled. Only then did they know that they fought crickets all night the night before..."

Zhao Pu quickly pulled the Eight King's sleeve and just wanted to cover his mouth. That's what he meant - Brother, please give me some face!

The Eighth Prince talked about Zhao Pu's naughty things when he was a child and couldn't stop talking. "It's even harder to manage him after he was four years old! The emperor asked him to take the lead when he was walking, and he also followed him..."

"Ahem." Zhao Pu quickly opened the topic, "You two are not very familiar with classmates from the Imperial College, so what about that one over there?"

As he said that, Zhao Pu nodded to Xu Ziyan in the distance.

At this moment, Xu Ziyan had just detoxified the poison and was discussing the return journey with several accompanying colleagues.

"Sir." Zhan Zhao asked in a low voice, "What's the relationship between Xu Ziyan and Qu Zhongyuan? If he hadn't been met by Tianzun on the road, he would have died now!"

Lord Bao nodded and called Xu Ziyan over.

"Zi Yan, come to Kaifeng just to do business?" asked Mr. Bao, "Come often?"

Xu Ziyan shook his head and said, "It's not frequent. I come once a year when I'm on new tea, and it's almost this time every year."

"Oh..." Mr. Bao nodded.

The Eighth Prince asked, "Do you still have any contact with classmates from the Imperial College back then?"

Xu Ziyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, shook his head, and said, "Oh... I didn't have good grades back then, and I was always scolded by my master. In the end, I failed the exam and went home to do business. How could I still have the face to find my classmates back then?"

Everyone touched their chins. Xu Ziyan said this a bit far-fetched. There are only a few people who have passed the exam every year, and many of them have failed. As long as they enter the Imperial Academy, even if they fail in the palace exam, they will not affect their careers even if they fail. He is a big businessman in his father's business. Look at his bright clothes, you know that he is doing well... As for whether he is shameless to say it?

"Who knows that Zi Yan wants to harm you?" asked Mr. Bao.

"Tsk." Xu Ziyan sighed, "We were thinking about it just now, thinking that someone wanted to kill him for money?!"

The Eighth Prince frowned, "Ziyan, the public security in Kaifeng Prefecture has always been very good, probably not, think about it again."

"Well..." Xu Ziyan thought with his face up, and finally shook his head, "I really can't remember any enemies."

Lord Bao looked at him.

After all, he is the prefect of Kaifeng. Lord Bao usually has a serious face, or to be precise, the face of a judge. Most people dare not look at him, and even less dares if they have ghosts in their hearts.

When Xu Ziyan saw Lord Bao looking at him, he smiled awkwardly, and deliberately or unintentionally avoided the eyes of his eyes.

This detail was captured by everyone, and everyone felt that Xu Ziyan should have concealed something.

"Zi Yan, have you ever heard of Yin and Yang Palace?" Lord Bao spoke.

When Xu Ziyan heard the three words "Yinyang Palace", his body obviously stiffened, but then shook his head, "What?"

Bao Zheng’s temperament is so hard to rub the sand in his eyes. He has tried so many prisoners, who can tell a lie at a glance!

The eighth prince on the side knew that Lord Bao was going to turn against him, but it was useless to force him to ask questions now. It would be better to try again! It may be better than just saying it out loud.

Lord Bao accepted the Eighth Prince's eyes, suppressed his anger slightly, and asked, "Zi Yan, have you ever seen it in the coroner's room?"

Xu Ziyan was amused and cried, and said, "Xiren, don't scare me, what should I go to the coroner's room to see? You also know that I have been timid since I was a child."

Lord Bao nodded, "Does Ziyan still remember Liang Youdao?"

"Uh..." Xu Ziyan was stunned for a moment, then touched his chin, "Well... I have a saying! I have some impression."

"He is lying in the coroner's room at this time." Mr. Bao pointed to the coroner's room.

Xu Ziyan was shocked, his face changed color, and then waved his hand, "Xiren, don't scare me."

"It's not that I scare you." The Eighth Prince said, "Do you want to go and have a look? And Wang Yueming..."

"Wang Yueming?!" Xu Ziyan opened his mouth wide, then seemed to realize that he had reacted a little loudly, so he shook his head, "Oh...how could it be..."

Everyone was a little anxious and really wanted to give him a twenty-pin to tell him to honestly explain it. He was hesitant.

At this moment, Bai Yutang, who was watching the fun, suddenly spoke, "The tea in Yuelai Inn is all the best, the Longjing in the Rainbow. Manager Wang often said that his tea was sent from Hangzhou by his classmates back then. Even the water for making tea was the Hupao Spring water thousands of miles away. Kaifeng Mansion is the only one."

Everyone looked at Xu Ziyan - Could it be that you sold his tea to him?

Xu Ziyan's face turned pale, "Uh, this..."

"Your silver bag just now." Seeing that he wanted to hide it, Bai Yutang smiled faintly, "There are silver ingots stamped by Yuelai Inn."

Everyone looked at Xu Ziyan again, that's the meaning - do you still want to hide it?

"Oh..." Xu Ziyan could not hide it, so he had to say honestly, "I'm going to tell you, I just met Ming Yue yesterday. Yes, I sold all the teas in his store to him."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and finally said.

"He was fine yesterday, why did he die suddenly?" Xu Ziyan frowned, "It's strange!"

But he just kept expressing his sadness and regret, but stopped talking in depth.

Lord Bao stopped asking, and asked Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang to go to Yuelai Inn to check out the situation. When he came back, he went to the vicinity of the west pier in the city to check what was going on. He asked Gongsun to follow him and find out the source of the poison.

...

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang left Kaifeng Mansion and went to Yuelai Inn. Those who were traveling with him were Gongsun who wanted to go for the autopsy and find the source of poison, Zhao Pu who helped Gongsun "take the children", and of course, Xiao Sizi in Zhao Pu's arms and Xiao Liangzi who kept following Xiao Sizi. In addition, Pang Yu knew the tea shed there and went together. Bao Yan and Pang Yu got used to going in and out, so he followed him.

While walking, Zhan Zhao also asked Bai Yutang, "Is Yuelai Inn near the west pier in the city?"

Bai Yutang shrugged, "Probably."

"You haven't been there?" Gongsun and Zhao Pu wondered.

Bai Yutang shook his head, "The wharfs on the west side of the city are all freight, either coal balls or fish and shrimps. They are fishy and messy, so I rarely go there."

"Then how do you know that the teas at Yuelai Inn are all Longjing..." Pang Yuxin said that Bai Yutang is really good, and he doesn't even know it.

Bai Yutang said indifferently, "I haven't been there before, I'm confused."

Everyone couldn't help but twitch.

Zhan Zhao thought for a while and said, "Oh... you saw the stamp on the silver, so you cheated him?"

Bai Yutang shook his head, "There is no stamp on the silver, I'm just cheating him."

Everyone looked at Bai Yutang with admiration.

Bai Yutang was speechless, "It's not Yinlou, how could the restaurant stamp the ingot?!"

Everyone thought about it—and so.

But no matter what, Xu Ziyan's tightly closed mouth was pried open a little bit by Bai Yutang.

"That Xu Ziyan hesitated, he must have articles!" Zhao Pu frowned, "Will those students do anything shameful behind their back then?"

Everyone nodded and felt it was reasonable and decided to speed up. However, as soon as they passed by the gate of Taibaiju, Xiao Liuzi rushed out, "Fifth Master."

Bai Yutang saw Xiao Liuzi running to his eyes and handing over a bill.

Bai Yutang took the bill and looked at Xiao Liuzi with his eyebrows raised.

Zhan Zhao and Gongsun also glanced curiously, then stuck out his tongue - a huge number!

Xiao Liuzi scratched his head awkwardly, pointed to the second floor of Taibaiju, and said to Bai Yutang, "What, Tianzun just came here, saying that he was in a bad mood and wanted to drink to relieve his boredom, and said that he wanted to drink the best wine in Taibaiju. The boss happened to be there, and he dug out a few jars of damaged aged wine as soon as he heard it... and then..."

Everyone raised their faces and looked at the second floor. They saw the Tianzun holding a white jade wine pot in one hand, waving to them. The rosy complexion looked like he was only ten years old, and he didn't seem to be in a bad mood when he smiled.

Bai Yutang stared at him for a while and generously threw money.

Zhan Zhao asked in a low voice, "You are so happy."

Bai Yutang spread his hands indifferently, "I don't have to make money anyway."

Everyone looked at him with disgust, a prodigal son!
