Bao Yan and Pang Yu finished dinner, strolled and chatted, and returned to Kaifeng Mansion. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they heard a lot of movement in the courtyard of the widow's house, and they seemed to hear Lin Xiao's voice. The two ran into the courtyard.

As soon as he looked, he saw Lin Xiao running out of the widow's room, squatting in the corner and vomiting.

"What happened?" Bao Yan and Pang Yu hurried over to ask.

In the widow's room, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked out, and everyone looked solemn.

…………

"If the person who died here is really Da Changsu, then who died back then?" Zhao Pu asked.

"That's another human life." Zhan Zhao remembered that the fourth son said he saw a human head in the gold basin, so he asked him, "Little fourth son, which head did you see just now?"

The fourth child thought about it and said, "She is also a woman, her face is covered in blood..."

After saying that, the fourth child carefully recalled it again, "Well... I saw her head fell into the basin. The back of her head seemed to have been smashed open. When the head was cut off, the person should have been dead.

"

Everyone was frightened when they heard this. What scene they saw was so terrifying.

Pang Yu poked the dumpling, "Little Fourth, aren't you scared?"

The fourth boy blinked his big eyes, "What are you afraid of?"

"Dead man!"

The fourth boy shook his head, "What's so scary about dead people? They're already dead."

Gongsun nodded aside - that's it.

Everyone looked at Xiao Liangzi with admiration as they walked out of the yard hand in hand, and couldn't help but sigh - Tuanzi is so awesome, he's afraid of everything except dead people and bugs!

"What the young man said is right. There is nothing to fear about dead people. Only living people can harm others. Dead people are meant to be harmed."

Lin Xiao calmed down now and walked to the table to sit down. Chen Xing'er brought him a cup of tea.

Zhan Zhao told him not to go to Yuelian Pavilion, and he sent someone to invite Mrs. Yuelian to identify Da Changsu's body.

"Are you sure it was Da Changsu who died?" Bai Yutang asked Lin Xiao again.

Lin Xiao nodded, "There's no mistake, it's her."

"A lot of people in the restaurant thought she was little Changsu before. They look a bit alike." Zhan Zhao said to himself, "And the style of her hair is also very similar."

"That's called the fan-and-pan style. Da Changsu has always done her hair in this way. Little Changsu learned it from her." Lin Xiao took two sips of tea and suppressed his nausea. He took a breath and calmed down.

.

At this time, Mahan of the Dynasty came in with several government servants, carrying Su Yun's body and the box containing the gold basin.

Lin Xiao walked over, uncovered the cloth covering the body, took a look at Su Yun's remains, and a trace of sadness appeared on his face.

Zhan Zhao asked him to sit down, and the others sat in a circle around the table.

Gongsun asked Lin Xiao, "We just came back from Yuelian Pavilion. It seems that not many people really feel sorry for Su Yun."

Everyone also nodded. Not to mention the weird little Chang Su, it seemed that except for Mrs. Yue Lian, everyone else looked sad, and many of them had expressions of "can be considered dead", which was quite chilling.

Lin Xiao was also lost in thought, remembering some past events, "I told you before, about the time when Da Changsu threw a poker at me when I was a child. When people asked me about it, I said that I accidentally burned myself. Later, Su Yun suddenly asked me in private.

, who burned me, and was there someone bullying me in the building? I finally told him that it was Da Changsu who did it... After hearing this, his reaction was actually quite surprising."

Everyone looked at him - surprise?

"He seemed to have guessed that it was Da Changsu who did it. He patted me and said, 'Ignore her, she is not normal.'" Lin Xiao said, "I was quite concerned about this matter, and I kept wondering if I had offended her.

I met Da Changsu, but Su Yun told me, "Normal people don't need a reason to like someone, but they need to be used when they hate someone. Abnormal people need a reason to like someone, but don't need a reason to hate someone. If you meet someone in the future,

Don’t pay attention to the kind of person who doesn’t like you for no reason. It’s not that you’re not doing well, it’s that that person is abnormal.”

"That makes sense." Zhao Pu seemed to agree.

Gongsun and Bai Yutang also nodded.

"Although Su Yun doesn't have much friendship with me, I will always remember what he said."

"Mrs. Yuelian said that Da Changsu was Su Yun's confidante?" Zhan Zhao asked Lin Xiao, "But little Changsu said that when Su Yun died, she saw Da Changsu's ghost on the third floor."

"ghost?"

Everyone nodded.

"I've also heard that Yuelian Pavilion is haunted." Lin Xiao frowned, "But I don't believe in ghosts. Besides... Su Yun doesn't seem to be messing around with women, but he doesn't care much about Da Changsu.

, On the contrary, it was Chang Su who was passionately devoted to him, and many people were dissatisfied and thought Su Yun was a scumbag, and it was also because of this."

"What about this basin?"

Zhan Zhao took the gold basin out of the box and put it on the table for Lin Xiao to see.

Lin Xiao glanced at it and seemed to know the basin, so he said, "This is what Da Changsu used."

"Who gave this basin as a gift? Or did you make it yourself?" Zhan Zhao looked very interested in this basin.

"It's a gift." Lin Xiao smiled, "What a glorious time Da Changsu was when she was famous! The donors brought box after box of gold to give to her. But those were just small donors, and Da Changsu still had

There is a wealthy benefactor with a mysterious identity. This set of gold utensils, from the basin to the toilet, from the tableware to the pedals, are all made of pure gold and designed with lotus leaves. They are priceless."

"Don't you know who it is?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

Lin Xiao shook his head, "Yuelian Pavilion comes to Kaifeng twice a year, once in summer and autumn, and stays for half a month to a month each time. The big shot should be a permanent resident of Kaifeng, and he comes to visit occasionally. Every time he comes

At that time, the carriage would arrive at the entrance of Yuelian Pavilion, and then Yuelian Pavilion would be cleared. There would be no business on this day. Most of the crew members on the ship were on vacation and were not allowed to be on the ship. The cabin was covered with white silk from the door.

The tent was set up all the way to the door of the carriage. The big shot didn't show up, and Da Changsu was alone. Da Changsu only stayed with him that day..."

"Such a grand event?" Zhao Pu was also surprised.

"Isn't it?" Lin Xiao said, lowering his voice, "There were rumors at the time that the distinguished guest was the emperor."

Everyone looked at him with raised eyebrows - right...

Zhao Pu waved his hand, "That's impossible."

Lin Xiao had met Zhao Zhen. After meeting him, he no longer believed the rumor. "Indeed, he shouldn't be the emperor."

Everyone also felt that it couldn't be Zhao Zhen. Zhao Zhen didn't seem to be too fond of this. He never saw him idle watching a beauty dance or anything. At most, he would occasionally listen to Concubine Pang playing the piano in the yard, and he would still reach out.

He was only happy when he made trouble and provoked Concubine Pang to beat him. In the palace, the Queen Mother and Concubine Pang always went to the same stall to listen to music and watch plays. Zhao Zhen was busy tossing and tossing the civil and military officials.

"I, the Zhao royal family, either worship martial arts or respect literature, but there is no lustful one." Zhao Pu said, "But maybe he is a high official."

"Why are officials so mysterious?" Gongsun was confused. "And it would attract people's attention. Why didn't you send someone to pick up Da Changsu quietly?"

…

While they were chatting, Dynasty Mahan came in with Shen Yuelian, and this time Ximen Yao also came with him.

Lin Xiao got up and called for someone, and together with Ximen Yao, he accompanied Shen Yuelian into the widow's house.

After taking one look at the head, Shen Yuelian was stunned.

Even Ximen Yao opened his eyes in disbelief, "This... this is Da Changsu!"

After Shen Yuelian was stunned for a while, her eyes widened, seemingly with a bit of anger. She stepped forward and untied Da Changsu's collar.

Zhan Zhao and others all turned their heads to avoid it.

Gongsun walked up to see what Shen Yuelian was going to do.

There was a red birthmark about the size of a copper coin on the right side of the chest of the body with its collar unbuttoned.

Shen Yuelian closed her collar, nodded to Gongsun, and said, "That's Da Changsu! Both her head and body!"

Gongsun asked Shen Yuelian, "Madam...haven't you examined Changsu's corpse back then?"

"Tested!" Shen Yuelian replied, "There is also this birthmark on the corpse, so I don't doubt that he is there! But the head has never been found."

"So Changsu faked her death at first?" Bai Yutang asked Ximen Yao, "Did she feel anything strange before the accident?"

Ximen Medicine was not sure either, so I had to look at his mother.

Shen Yuelian frowned and said nothing, but the look on her face seemed to be very angry.

Zhan Zhao asked Shen Yuelian in a low voice about the identity of the big benefactor who gave Su the golden basin to Da Chang.

Shen Yuelian hesitated for a moment and whispered, "That guest is not a high-ranking official in the court, but it is true that his family is extremely wealthy. His name is Xiang Lian."

"Xiang Lian..." Zhan Zhao was not impressed by the name, so he asked Bai Yutang, "Have you heard of it?"

Fifth Master shook his head, he hadn't heard of it either.

"Xiang Lian..."

Pang Yu thought of someone and asked, "There is a large manor in the south of the city called Xiangzhuang. It is said that the owner of the manor is very rich, but he is very low-key... Is it just that family?"

Mrs. Yue Lian nodded, "Well, Xiang Lian is the young master of Xiangzhuang and a scholar. He looks polite, but he is very weak and is afraid of wind. When the wind blows, he gets rashes all over his body, as if he can't be blown by the wind. Every time he Come here, you have to arrange it well, just in case he gets a little wind."

Everyone understood it - no wonder there was such a big pomp like setting up a tent.

"Is there such a disease?" Zhan Zhao asked Gongsun curiously.

Gongsun touched his chin, "Yes..."
