As soon as He Yihang arrived, he brought a clue that could be called a blast - the small building was not a building, but a knife.

So the question arises, what exactly is a knife? Is there a clear standard?

When it comes to swords, naturally everyone looks at Tianzun.

The old man folded his arms and was thinking about it. Tianzun has seen countless knives, but this is indeed the first time he has heard of the floor knife. There are kitchen knives, sickles, large knives, small knives, gold knives, and silver knives. So even having a floor knife is not a bad idea.

In addition, Tianzun always felt that the name "Yu Shuang" seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

Fifth Master thought that "Yu Shuang" might be a clue, because usually what his master couldn't remember were important things!

This case is indeed more complicated than it appears.

Zhan Zhao felt that Boss Qian might know the origin of this building. The reason was very simple: those two wooden sculptures and the weird altar!

If Yu Shuang's murder was due to the influence of Xiaolou, then Boss Qian's murder may not be as simple as being influenced. The purpose of his murder was to remove the eyes. Although the two five-eyed wood carvings made with the eyes are not known to have any purpose, they are related to

The five-eye pattern on the wall of that small building seems to have a subtle connection.

Moreover, why are there five eyes? If there are six or seven eyes on the wall, does it count as a floor sword?

But the letter Li She wrote to He Wanfeng did not contain any clues related to the five-eyed wood carving.

Zhan Zhao felt that he could start his investigation from the "friend" who mortgaged this small building to Li She.

At dinner time, Bao Yan and the others came back from school.

Lin Xiao gave Zhan Zhao a stack of drawing paper.

Zhan Zhao was shocked when he opened it. Lin Xiao spent a whole day drawing partial drawings of the small building after it was dismantled.

Everyone looked at it, and they didn’t know whether it was because Lin Xiao made it look better every time he painted it, or for some other reason. Not only was the dismantled part of this small building not scary, it was quite beautiful, and it had a very special sense of beauty.

After dinner, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang took the fourth son, He Yihang and Shen Shaoxi out together.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang went to the Yamen to check information, and they took the fourth child with them to save time.

He Yihang and Shen Shaoxi came out to play. They came all the way from the northwest. They couldn't stay for a moment and wanted to walk around.

In the yamen, Mr. Qin had finished his official duties for the day and was playing chess and drinking tea with his master in the courtyard.

Zhan Zhao said he wanted to check the records of the mansion.

The master asked which year he wanted, and Zhan Zhao said he wanted one from a hundred years ago.

The master was dumbfounded, while Lord Qin shook his head helplessly, "That was from the previous dynasty, it's gone long ago."

Zhan Zhao crossed his arms, this was going to be difficult.

Lord Qin asked Master if he could find it elsewhere.

The master thought for a while and said, "There may be local chronicles from the previous dynasty."

Zhan Zhao asked, "Where is it?"

The master said that there are two places where it may be found, one is Lingyin Temple and the other is Xie’s house.

Zhan Zhao found that there were unexpected places everywhere today. Lingyin Temple, a thousand-year-old ancient temple, was recorded in local chronicles. It was possible that the Xie family...

"The Xie family in Hangzhou?" Bai Yutang asked, "Just the Xie Yan family?"

The master nodded and said with a smile, "The Xie family has been in Hangzhou for several generations. In addition to being rich, every generation produces literary figures."

"Then what?" Zhan Zhao didn't understand how this had anything to do with investigating the case.

"What kind of things do writers have in their homes?"

Everyone finally understood, "Book?"

The master smiled and nodded, "Literary men have many books, and rich literary men also like to buy books! The Xie family has the most complete local chronicles of Lin'an, with records from all dynasties. Moreover, the Xie family has been rich for generations, and the Lin'an family is as prestigious as the Xie family

We all have contacts, go to Xie’s house and check, you might gain something.”

Zhan Zhao and the others thought this was a good suggestion.

After leaving the Yamen, everyone rushed to Xie's house again.

Xie Mansion is not difficult to find. It is located near the West Lake and is a large manor comparable in size to the Royal Courtyard.

The fifth master felt that this house must be more valuable than the palace where Zhao Zhen lives now. After all, his manor was by the West Lake and Zhao Zhen's palace was on the mountain.

The students from Taixue were still living in Xie's house during this period. They had just eaten in another courtyard. A group of people were walking back, chatting and laughing, and happened to meet Zhan Zhao and the others at the gate of Xie's house.

Xie Yan was quite puzzled. We had dinner together just now, but didn't Zhan Zhao and the others say they were going to the Yamen?

As soon as Zhan Zhao said his purpose of coming, Xie Yan thought about it and said that the master was right and there might be clues, so he led everyone into the house.

As soon as I entered Xie's Mansion, I felt a sense of the scholarly atmosphere of a writer's home. The furnishings in the house and courtyard were like freehand landscapes, with a Zen feel.

In the yard, Xie Yan's father, Xie Guangyuan, walked out just after dinner. When he saw Bai Yutang, he happily ran over and asked his father, Bai Xia, if he was here.

The Fifth Master knew that Xie Guangyuan and his father were classmates and good friends, and they often exchanged letters.

Both Zhan Zhao and Xiaosizi felt that Xie Guangyuan had a temperament that was very close to Bai Xia's, but he was very bookish and a little...

Like his son Xie Yan, Xie Guangyuan also has outstanding appearance and looks very young.

Upon hearing that Zhan Zhao and the others wanted to inquire about the origin of that small building, Xie Guangyuan asked Xie Yan to take everyone to ask his great-grandmother.

Everyone was a little confused when they heard this - Grandma?

Everyone in Taixue has been staying at Xie's house recently. Knowing that the old people of the family live in the house behind Xie's house, no one goes to the back to avoid disturbing them.

It happened that Xie Guangyuan said that the epiphyllum was expected to bloom tonight and he wanted to take the children to enjoy the flowers all night, so everyone in the Imperial Academy followed him.

Xie Yan took Zhan Zhao and the others to the back of the manor, saying that his great-grandmother was his great-grandfather's sister, the only remaining ancestor of the Xie family.

Zhan Zhao calculated the seniority and asked, "Is it more than a hundred?"

Xie Yan nodded and nodded, saying that he might be of the same generation as Tianzun and the others. When he chatted with his great-grandmother before, his great-grandmother knew about Tianzun and Yin Hou."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, so powerful?

"Ahem." Xie Yan led everyone to the door of a large courtyard and reminded everyone, "My great-grandmother is in a special situation, but I guess you are not surprised."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were wondering about the special method when they heard a burst of noise inside, as if someone was shouting, "Open the big one, open the small one...could it be gambling?"

Xie Yan shook his head helplessly and led everyone into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, I saw a young woman wearing a long goose-yellow dress gambling with a group of old ladies. The girl had one leg on the bench, her sleeves rolled up, and she was shaking a sieve cup.

There were four or five old ladies beside the stone table, all of whom had gray hair and all their teeth.

When Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang entered the room, they felt a deep inner force similar to that of Tianzun and Yin Hou. They looked around and their eyes fell on the young woman who put the sieve cup on the table.

When the sieve cup came out, a group of old ladies clapped their hands happily and stamped their feet.

"Grandma."

Sure enough, Xie Yan called the young one, and those old ladies, Xie Yan called them grandma, aunt...

Xie Yan's "grandma" raised her head and smiled when she saw her great-grandson, but when she saw the people behind Xie Yan, she was stunned.

The old lady looked over one by one, finally smiled, waved her hands to the mothers-in-law, and said, "That's it for today. Old friends will come later. Let's all disperse."

Several old women bowed to "grandma", called "aunt, aunt" and so on, and went out.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, then at He Wanfeng and Shen Shaoxi who were joining in the fun, and finally at the fourth son standing in the middle - the old friend? Who is that?

"Let me guess." The old lady pointed at Zhan Zhao, "You are a child of the Yin Hou family."

Zhan Zhao nodded, indicating that Yin Hou was his grandfather.

"Well, I'm not familiar with Yin Hou, but..." the old lady said, pointing to Bai Yutang, "I'm familiar with that guy from your family."

The fifth master was a little excited - finally there was a normal beauty who was familiar with his master and not familiar with Yin Hou.

Zhan Zhao also asked, "Senior, are you familiar with Tianzun?"

Unexpectedly, the old lady waved her hand and said, "Who is familiar with that white hair?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, who would he be dating?

The Fifth Master thought for a while and then asked helplessly, "My grandpa?"

Zhan Zhao and Xiao Sizi both nodded - this is reasonable. After Taohua and Yin Hou were on par, Lu Tianhan was shocked!

But the old lady looked puzzled, "Who is your grandpa?"

This time it was Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's turn to be confused - if it wasn't Tianzun or Lu Tianhan, then who was she familiar with?

The old lady smiled slightly and said, "Bai Yueyun."

The fifth master was stunned, and Zhan Zhao and the fourth son were also surprised - it turned out to be Bai Yueyun!

"Yueyun and I are good sisters." As she said that, the old lady seemed to recall the past, and the smile on her face became stronger. Then she looked at Shen Shaoxi again, "What you said looks familiar to me, but I can't remember anything.

People, but as for you..."

Grandma pointed at He Yihang, "What a resemblance!"

He Yihang was slightly startled, "Senior, I know..."

"He Wanfeng." The old lady winked at him as she spoke, "It's a pity that we didn't snatch that girl named Zhuang back then, otherwise you would have inherited a share of the Xie family's property today."
