Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang followed Shen Tianyu, going round and round through the streets and alleys. The more they walked, the more familiar the road became.

Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang in a low voice, "This road seems to go to..."

Before Zhan Zhao could finish speaking, Shen Tianyu stopped and turned to look at the steps beside him, scratching his head as if he was embarrassed.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were both dumbfounded. Whose door was Shen Tianyu standing at?

Kaifeng Mansion!

Fifth Master suddenly understood, "No wonder you are so low-key. Are you here to bring someone to Kaifeng Mansion?"

Zhan Zhao also nodded, "I guess it was his Tian Yuxuan disciple who witnessed the salt transformation. He must have been taken to Kaifeng Mansion for questioning. Maybe he is really his son."

Shen Tianyu walked a few steps back and forth in front of the Kaifeng Mansion when a government official came out and asked him, "Uncle, why are you wandering outside the door? Do you want to report the case?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other and almost couldn't help laughing. After all, Shen Tianyu was a well-known figure in the world, but he was recognized as an ordinary uncle.

"Uh..." Shen Tianyu was also embarrassed. He looked around and thought to himself, if his friends in the world saw this scene, would he be able to hang out in the future?

Bai Yutang patted Zhan Zhao and signaled - go meet him by chance!

Zhan Zhao saw that Shen Tianyu had been hesitating for a long time and wanted to back down. How could he let him run away? So he quickly went to meet him by chance with his own rat.

Shen Tianyu lowered his head and turned around, thinking that he should wait. As soon as he took two steps back, he heard a voice, "Hey? Isn't this Head Shen?"

Shen Tianyu was stunned for a moment, and when he looked up, he felt even more embarrassed - he was really afraid of something.

Zhan Zhao smiled and cupped his hands to Shen Tianyu, "What do you want, Master Shen?"

"Ahem... Master Zhan, long time no see." Shen Tianyu forced a smile on his face and nodded to Bai Yutang, "Young Master Bai is here too."

Bai Yutang also nodded and looked at Shen Tianyu - although this person was somewhat at odds with Zhan Zhao, he was just a disciple who came to Kaifeng Mansion to witness the incident. Is he that shameful?

"father?"

A call interrupted the slightly awkward look at each other in front of the Kaifeng Mansion.

The three of them all turned around and saw a young man running down the steps and arriving next to Shen Tianyu.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both looked at the young man. His appearance was very similar to that of Shen Tianyu, and he seemed to have good kung fu.

Shen Tianyu seemed to be relieved and introduced Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "Quinzi, Shen Mao."

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang understood - he was really their son.

Shen Mao opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, while poking Shen Tianyu, "Dad, Zhan Zhao is obviously very handsome... ugh."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Tianyu covered his mouth.

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang raised their eyebrows. It seemed that Shen Tianyu did not say bad things about Zhan Zhao behind his back.

"Why are Mr. Shen in Kaifeng Mansion?" Zhan Zhao asked pretending to be confused.

"Uh..." When Shen Tianyu was hesitating how to answer, Shen Maoke got excited, "Master Zhan, haven't you heard? Just now, a candidate in the martial arts examination room suddenly turned into salt! I saw it with my own eyes! Right here. When he competed with me, he was so mad that I just watched him scatter all over the floor..."

Shen Tianyu looked at his son speechlessly.

Zhan Zhao touched his chin and said to himself, "Oh, he turns out to be a stupid son."

Bai Yutang had a good impression of Shen Mao, he was straight and dumb, a bit like those silly disciples of the Tianshan Sect.

Zhan Zhao asked, "So Mr. Shen witnessed the whole process?"

Shen Mao nodded, "Yes! I just told Mr. Bao what I saw! Mr. Bao is so kind and not fierce at all."

Saying that, Shen Mao pulled Shen Tianyu excitedly, "Dad! I saw Zhao Pu! He's so handsome!"

Shen Tianyu helplessly held down his excited son, looked at Zhan Zhao, and thought - that's it.

Zhan Zhao glanced at Shen Tianyu and asked, "Master Shen, do you have any opinion on this case?"

Shen Tianyu shook his head slightly, said goodbye to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, then returned, dragging his son away.

Zhan Zhao suddenly said, "It's better to meet by chance than to invite. Do you want to have a meal together?"

Shen Tianyu looked at Zhan Zhao suspiciously, what do you mean - eating?

Just when he was about to refuse, Bai Yutang said, "I just happened to have an appointment with my master at Taibaiju..."

Before Shen Tianyu could speak, Shen Mao's eyes lit up, "God...Tianzun?!"

Zhan Zhao nodded, "Well, my grandpa is also here..."

"Yin Hou is here too?!" Shen Mao still remembered who his father was, so he nodded quickly, "Okay, okay! Let's go to dinner and let my father treat you!"

Shen Tianyu held his forehead and sighed.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded silently - this must be their biological son!

Zhan Zhao invited the father and son to Taibai Residence, and Shen Mao happily followed Zhan Zhao while walking and chatting.

Bai Yutang looked at Shen Tianyu who was following him with worries, and he was also a little confused. Tianyuxuan was a big family and Shen Tianyu was usually a very flamboyant person. What happened today?

…

In the widow's house in Kaifeng Mansion, Gongsun looked at the broken box on the table and the two large baskets of salt next to it, and was a little confused, "How many salt sellers have been killed?"

Long Qiaoguang pointed to two baskets of salt for Gongsun and said, "This basket is from the box that Zhan Zhao picked up halfway, and this basket belongs to the candidate who turned into salt on the ring."

The Ninth Prince studied the two baskets of salt carefully and said, "I can't see any difference."

Gongsun looked at the wooden box on the table, and finally turned back to look at the corpse tied with cotton cloth in the shape of a rice dumpling.

"Where is that turtle?" Zhao Pu asked Zhe Ying.

"I was put in a big tank next to their stable, and the tank was full of sand."

Zhao Pu nodded and glanced at Gongsun who was circling the "zongzi".

Long Qiaoguang looked at the corpse and started chattering again, "Why is the corpse wrapped in cloth? Why is it so thin? Are you sure it's a corpse? It looks like a child. Who is so wicked? By the way, why is Kaifeng Mansion worse than Black Wind City?" It’s not peaceful…”

Gongsun raised his head and glared at Zhao Pu. Zhao Pu grabbed the right general's collar and threw him out, telling him to go back to the general's palace to accompany his wife to have a baby and stop wandering around.

After sending Long Qiaoguang away, Gongsun took a pair of scissors and prepared to cut the strips of cloth.

Gongsun was still more careful. He started from the feet first and cut with two scissors. He originally thought he could see the skin, but after cutting it open, what he saw was a black cloth roll.

Gongsun blinked, "Huh?"

"Black cloth... clothes?" Zhao Pu wondered, "There seems to be something inside."

Gongsun tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Could it be a dummy?"

When I cut a little bit of black cloth, I heard a "click" sound and a copper coin fell out.

"A penny!" Gongsun shook his leg, and a large handful of copper plates fell out from the hole.

"Is this the money I use in court?" Zhao Pu took two copper plates and looked at them for a while.

Gongsun nodded, "Yes! It's quite new."

Gongsun cut some more strips of cloth and pulled out several long black cloth rolls. These rolls were knotted at both ends and contained a roll of copper coins.

"No wonder it doesn't make any noise. They have been divided into rolls one by one." The Ninth Prince saw Gongsun taking out a few more rolls of copper coins and found it interesting, "Who hid this private money? Hidden like a corpse? It's a bit

sharp!"

"Does it take so much effort?" Gongsun pulled out more than a dozen cloth rolls from one leg of the corpse. "It only costs a lot in total, and it's not much if you exchange it for silver or banknotes."

Gongsun was about to demolish it, but Zhao Pu suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him, "Hey, wait a minute."

Gongsun looked at him.

Zhao Pu took a cloth roll and showed it to Gongsun, "Look, there are words on it."

Gongsun took it and took a look at it, and saw a line of small red words on the cloth scroll - soul and spirit return to heaven, body and soul return to earth; death is inevitable, fan can't be saved.

Gongsun was stunned and muttered twice, "Fan Wujiu is destined to die...Fan Wujiu..."

"Oops!" Gongsun threw the cloth roll back, "Hei Wuchang!"

The Ninth Prince curled his lips. Although he was not too keen on these gods and ghosts, Hei Wuchang still knew that Bai Wuchang was "Immortal in life, thank you for your safety", and Hei Wuchang was "Death is divided, Fan Wujiu", both masters are the same.

Taoists often refer to the soul seducer.

"It's so unlucky to be in the clear sky." The Ninth Prince was helpless. He originally wanted to say that it was not a corpse after struggling for a long time, and Zhan Zhao was not that unlucky, but now that he thought about it, this unlucky level was several levels higher than that of a mortal.

What kind of thing did you pick up on the street?

Gongsun also put down the scissors and stuffed the copper coins back into the cloth roll, and then stuffed all the cloth rolls back, "Otherwise, let's find a Taoist priest to take a look at it later."

After saying that, Gongsun walked out.

The Ninth Prince followed him out and asked, "Where are you going?"

Gongsun walked in the direction of the study, "First ask Mr. Bao to wipe your hands to get rid of bad luck!"

…

At the same time, in the largest salt shop in the east of the city, Zou Liang found the shopkeeper.

Lin Yehuo visited the salt shop with his hands behind his back. Seeing that the shopkeeper looked familiar to Zou Liang, he leaned over to listen to their conversation.

General Zuo took out the paper package and showed it to the shopkeeper.
