In the evening, the weather was overcast.
In the Hibiscus Garden in the West Garden of the Imperial Palace, Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang stood side by side, holding their arms and looking up at the Four Seas Hall in front of them.
I haven't seen it for a few days, and the Four Seas Hall is still so lifeless.
Zhan Zhao looked at the small building and turned his face to look at Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang also turned his face to look at him.
"We probably think about the same thing," Zhan Zhao asked.
Bai Yutang nodded.
Then, the two did not enter the door, but jumped and went to the roof of Sihailou.
Sihailou is still relatively high, of course, this is nothing to Zhanzhao Baiyutang, which has excellent light skills.
After the two of them landed smoothly on the roof, they walked around the four sides of the eaves, and sure enough, they stopped in one place, and the tiles there showed obvious signs of being lifted.
The two exchanged a "sure enough" look, and together they reached out and lifted the tile.
Underneath the tiles, as expected, there was a hole, just the size of a man in and out.
The shark went down first, and quickly raised his head and nodded to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.
The two then went down, and found that there was an altar on the top floor, and there were many jars, white porcelain altars, which looked like they should contain ashes.
However, there is no tablet in front of the columbarium, only different statues, probably with symbolic meaning inside, and after looking around, Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang looked around, and their eyes stayed on one of the white altars.
Zhan Zhao walked over and stared at the altar and saw that there were black marks on the altar, which looked like dried blood.
Bai Yutang frowned slightly, how could there be blood stains in the ashes altar The shark reached out and opened the lid and glanced inside.
At the same time as he opened the lid, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang subconsciously covered their mouths and noses, and the two of them first reacted to open the window When he opened the window, he saw that the shark had already reached into the ash jar to get something, and Bai Yutang didn't have time to stop him.
The mermaid was already holding a half-rotten human head and was standing there Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at the human head in the merman's hand together, it was an old man's head, with a simple bun on his head, his skin was gray and wrinkled, his face was very rotten, his flesh was blurred, and there were insects.
Bai Yutang pointed to the shark, "Put it back and don't touch anything that is not clean."
The shark blinked and put the human head back into the jar.
"Go wash your hands."
Bai Yutang pointed out the window.
The shark went out of the window and went to the small river outside the hibiscus garden, squatting to wash his hands.
While washing, he looked up at Bai Yutang, looking quite well-behaved.
Zhan Zhao patted Bai Yutang on the shoulder, "Relax and relax, it doesn't matter if the shark is not an entity, you see that there is no blood in the river after he washed for a long time." ” Bai Yutang sighed and beckoned to him, and in a flash, he had returned to the two of them, while stretching out his hand to check Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang saw that his blue hands were clean, so he nodded.
Zhan Zhao walked to the wall and tore down a long strip of cloth embroidered with scriptures, spread it on the ground, and motioned for each jar of the shark to open The shark examined the jar one by one, and poured everything inside on the strip of cloth, a total of four heads, and no other body stumps.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were dumbfounded, and there were four human heads of unknown origin hidden in the Four Seas Palace.
At this time, the two of them subconsciously looked out of the window, and saw that the roofs outside the windows on both sides were full of shadow guards, probably because of the smell.
The shadow guards were all pale at this moment, and they couldn't see the merman at all, so they only saw the ashes jar fly into the air, and then the bloody human head floated out.
At this time, a person landed on the windowsill, and when he looked in, it was Ge Qing.
Just now, Ying Wei had already reported that Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang had found the body on the top floor of the Four Seas Palace, and Nangong didn't dare to leave Zhao Zhen's side at the moment, so he asked Ge Qing to take a look.
Zhan Zhao beckoned to Ge Qing.
Ge Qing jumped in and looked at the human head on the ground with a frown.
There are three men and one woman, one of the three men feels very old, the other two are quite young, the woman is not young, about thirty years old, although there is some decay, but from the part that remains, it looks quite good.
Ge Qing looked at it carefully and shook his head, "None of them are from the palace." ” Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both breathed a sigh of relief, there has not been any disappearance in the palace recently, so if these corpses are from the palace, then it means that someone killed them and pretended to be them to infiltrate the palace.
Not really Zhan Zhao touched his chin, "Why do you put your head in the Four Seas Palace?"
"In these ash jars, were they originally filled with ashes?"
Bai Yutang asked Ge Qing.
Ge Qing shook his head and looked puzzled, he was still young after all, and he didn't know much about the things in the palace, besides, not to mention Ge Qing in this Four Seas Palace, probably Zhao Zhen couldn't understand what was in it.
"But," Ge Qing tilted his head and looked at the old man, "I seem to have seen him somewhere." ” Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were stunned, "You said he wasn't from the palace." ” Ge Qing nodded hurriedly, "That's right, it's definitely not from the palace, we all remember the appearance of the people in the palace carefully, this person should have been seen outside the palace, somewhere?"
"You don't often get out of the palace, do you?"
asked Zhan Zhao.
Ge Qing nodded, "I've been so busy lately, I haven't been out for a long time, and it's going to take the spring exam, Chunhua Wang Qi and they are not available, and even the princess has been preparing for the exam recently."

Zhan Zhao knows that Ge Qing is very stupid, Princess Zhao Lan is famous for being in trouble, the guards refuse to accompany her, every time she goes out, she has to guess the winner of the boxing, Ge Qing always loses, so she has been working as a bodyguard for this group of nerds who can make trouble, and they have become friends since they came and went.
"Princess" Ge Qing said that Zhao Lan suddenly stretched out her hand and patted her head, "Ah, I remember, I have seen these four people" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both looked at him, "Who is it?"
Ge Qing said, "A while ago, when Wang Qi had his birthday, the princess asked him where he wanted to play.
Wang Qi said that he wanted to go to the Moon Tower to watch the play, and the prime minister was usually strict, so he was not allowed to go, but he was allowed to go on his birthday, so we went together."
As he spoke, Ge Qing pointed at the old man, "This old man is the head of the Yuelou class, and the woman is the famous Lin Ji'er, and the two men are also singing." ” After Ge Qing finished speaking, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, is there really something wrong with this Yuelou "The moon tower is full every day."
Zhan Zhao frowned, "These people looked dead not long ago, but obviously not for a day or two, it is impossible that no one will find out." ” "The only possibility is that someone is pretending," Bai Yutang asked.
"Why is the head hidden in the Temple of the Four Seas" Zhan Zhao couldn't figure it out.
Ge Qing called a shadow guard to go out to investigate, and after a while, the guard came back, saying that everything has been as usual in Yuelou recently, the drama is still playing, all the corners are there, and there is nothing unusual about the full house.
"The head of the class is also there," Ge Qing asked.
The guard nodded, obviously having investigated clearly, "The head of the Yuelou class is called Chen Yuehai, sixty-eight years old, although he doesn't act personally, but he makes friends every day in the Yuelou, and many people know him." ” Zhan Zhao touched his chin, "Then why haven't I seen it, I only know that the big shopkeeper of the Four Seas Hall is called Xu Ban, and I deal with him every time, I thought he was the class master." ” "Normal, Chen Yuehai doesn't deal with people in officialdom."
Ge Qing said, "It's hard to get a ticket for Yuelou, and the princess asked Uncle Guo to get a ticket."
When the ticket came, Uncle Guo instructed me, when you go to the Yuelou to watch the play, you must not say that you are in the palace or an official, and you will be invited to the private room upstairs, and it will be boring to look at it at that time, it seems to be the rules of the Yuelou, on the surface, it looks like taking care of the official's family, but in fact, it doesn't make you feel comfortable, so you don't come next time. ” Zhanzhao frowned, "So strange" Ge Qing nodded, "The little marquis said that Chen Yuehai hates dealing with officials the most, and all officials are gone. ” Zhan Zhao was stunned, and then asked, "Uncle Guo and Little Marquis are referring to Pang Yu" Ge Qing amused Zhanzhao and nodded, "Naturally." ” Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other and smiled, and Zhan Zhao said to Ge Qing, "Arrest Pang Yu in the shortest possible time."
Before he finished speaking, Ge Qing flew out, and sure enough, not long after, the two heard Pang Yu's exclamation "Wow ahhh Look again, outside the window, Ge Qing came up carrying Pang Yu.
Pang Yu patted his chest after landing on his feet, "What are you doing?"
As soon as the little marquis raised his head, he saw the head in front of him at a glance, and jumped up with a scream and drilled behind Ge Qing, "Good luck."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang reluctantly beckoned to Pang Yu, who was too frightened, and motioned for Mo to come out.
As soon as he saw Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang, Pang Yu looked at the sky, since he mixed with the people of Kaifeng Mansion, there were always some unwarranted disasters.
Stretching out his hand to block his eyes, he approached Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, and Pang Yu asked, "Why are you two more unlucky than me, and you die more miserably everywhere you go." ” Zhan Zhao pushed away his eye-blocking hand, pointed to the heads and asked, "Is that the head of the Yuelou and a few corners?"
Pang Yu was stunned for a moment, tilted his head, "Moon Tower" Then, the little marquis endured the nausea and was stunned when he glanced at it.
"Eh" Pang Yu took a few steps closer and stared at it carefully, and then scratched his head, "Really, isn't this Chen Yuehai, oops, Lin Ji'er, how did this end?"
"Are you sure?"
asked Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.
"Definitely yes" Xiao Hou Ye looked puzzled and scratched his head, "There's no reason, I went to the theater the night before yesterday, Lin Ji'er is so good, in good spirits." ” Bai Yutang suddenly asked, "Can you always get a ticket?"
Pang Yu nodded and patted his chest, "It's hard to grab the tickets for Yuelou, but the young master naturally has a way, then again, the only one who can get tickets in the entire Kaifeng is the fourth son who can get tickets easier than me." ” Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were stunned, "The little fourth son can get a ticket better than you" "That's not it" Pang Yu looked at the two of them speechlessly, "You two don't know that Kaifeng Mansion Whether it is a theater, a canteen, a piano pavilion, or a restaurant, even if it is full, as long as the name of the little fourth son is reported, you will be given a seat." ” Zhanzhao raised his eyebrows, "Such a big face" "That's not it" Pang Yu was helpless, pointing at himself, "And I use money to buy or entrust friends, and the fourth son doesn't need it, so he smiles and calls his sister, and even Chang Xianglian lets him in to listen to the piano and eat snacks, and also cooks wontons for him to eat." ” Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang couldn't help but sigh that Chang Xianglian was the first qin concubine of the Great Song Dynasty, and she had a good hand at the piano, and ordinary guests could only listen outside through the door panel or even a few floors when they carried thousands of gold.
This woman is very tall, and the emperor is not seen if she doesn't like it.
Chang Xianglian cherished her hands like her life, and even made wontons for the little fourth son to eat, this treatment is just a second thought, even Concubine Pang will cook snacks for the little fourth son to eat, but she is the imperial concubine.
Zhan Zhao squinted at Bai Yutang and smiled evilly, "You are weak compared to the little fourth son. ” Bai Yutang couldn't cry or laugh, he really couldn't win "How did the little four sons buy tickets," Zhan Zhao asked.
"It's very simple, if you want to go, send someone to say it an hour in advance, and a few people can come when the time comes."
Pang Yu said.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, and today Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi will take Tianzun, Yin Hou, Lu Ling'er and Yi Yi to watch the play together "Should it be" Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang also frowned, "It's no secret that my master likes to watch plays, as long as he comes back to Kaifeng, he will go to see it one day." ” "Little Sizi seems to want to go today, is there anything special about today?"
asked Zhan Zhao.
"Every month today, there will be new shows."
Pang Yu said, "Usually these days, as long as the fourth son is in Kaifeng, he will go, and everyone in the troupe knows about it." ” Saying that, Pang Yu himself felt that something was wrong, "Did someone feel the law and have the idea of beating the little four?"
"It shouldn't matter," Ge Qing asked, "Tianzun and Yin Hou went together, who can move the little fourth son?"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other silently Indeed, Tianzun and Yin Hou are there, no one can touch Xiao Sizi, but what if the target is not Xiao Sizi, but Tianzun or Yin Hou Bai Yutang couldn't stay any longer, and Zhanzhao was also worried.
At this time, Zhao Pu and Gongsun came.
The two of them were reading in Chuntanglou just now, and they saw that there was some chaos here, Zhao Pu grabbed a shadow guard and asked, and heard that Sihailou found a head, so he brought Gongsun over.
Gongsun checked the corpse, frowned and said to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "I have been dead for at least half a month."
Pang Yu jumped up, "Are those few in the Moon Tower all fakes, why don't you want to do it?"
"Huh" Gongsun suddenly frowned and held a human head.
The corners of Zhao Pu's mouth twitched, "Then why do you want those pair of chopsticks?"
Gongsun glanced at him, "Don't make trouble." ” "No, don't hold it directly, it's disgusting across the oil paper" Zhao Pu also wanted to say, Gongsun had already picked up the head and brought it to him, "Look at it." ” Zhao Pu's corpse is not uncommon, but he still feels disgusting, pinching his nose and asking, "What are you looking at?"
"There's mud in your hair," Gongsun said earnestly.
Zhao Pu blinked, obviously missing the point.

"Where was the body buried, or where it is still there, and then it was hidden in the urn."
Gongsun said, "This ash altar is very sealed, if the head is cut off, it will be directly put in and the lid will be sealed, there will be no insects and no such rotten method, in short, it is not put in the jar at the beginning, and the head is also cut off for a long time after death." ” "What do you mean" Bai Yutang was puzzled.
Gongsun said, "It may have been not long since it was put into the jar." ” "Why do you want to do this?"
everyone looked at each other, and a word flashed through their heads at the same time "What about the cause of death?"
asked Zhan Zhao.
Gongsun said, "The organs are all frozen, deformed, and shrunk." ” Bai Yutang frowned, "Frozen" "If you want to destroy the corpse, it is not better to freeze it directly into ice slag, and it is not impossible to do it."
Zhao Pu was puzzled, "Why did you hide the human head on the roof of the Four Seas Palace?"
"And it can rot the whole face or disfigure it altogether, and it will not be easy for us to find out the identity of this person."
Zhanzhao said to himself, "Now it feels more like someone is deliberately trying to tell us that the clue is in the Moon Tower." ” "Or" Zhao Pu looked at everyone, "he wants to lead us to the Moon Tower" Gongsun was worried, "The fourth son went to the theater today, it will be fine."
"Just check it out."
Bai Yutang said, "Let's see what tricks are playing." ” Zhan Zhao nodded, and glanced at the human head on the ground, perhaps because of the hideous face of the dead corpse, or because the Four Seas Hall was too gloomy, Zhan Zhao felt that there was an unsettling and ominous feeling around him.
At this time, in the private room of Taibai Ju.
Xiao Sizi was holding a spoon and eating a Sixi ball, while discussing with Xiao Liangzi a few plays that would be performed tonight.
In addition to Tianzun, Yin Hou, Yiyi, and Lu Ling'er who ate at the same table, there were also Lin Yehuo who came to join in the excitement and Bao Yan, who was kicked out by Mrs.
Bao to relax.
Bao Yan doesn't like to watch the drama of Yuelou very much, purely because it is said that there is a stilt fire-breathing performance tonight, so he came out to have a lively time and watched acrobatics.
"It's going to be a lot of acrobatics tonight."
The little fourth son chewed the balls and said to Tianzun.
While eating, Tianzun watched tonight's schedule with Xiao Sizi.
Yin Hou sat aside, holding a wine glass, not knowing whether he was in a daze or resting, looking at the sky outside the window that was gradually darkening.
"Wait."
When he came back to his senses, he saw Bao Yan holding a wine glass to fill him with wine, only to find that the cup in his hand was already empty.
Bao Yan finished pouring wine for Yin Hou, and looked out, and saw that the sky was a rose-gray color at this time, and a full moon had appeared in the distant sky, I don't know if it was the effect of the afterglow of the setting sun, the full moon was orange-red, or close to brown "Oh, it's the Evil Moon tonight."
Bao Yan muttered to himself.
Yin Hou looked at him, "Evil Moon." ” Bao Yan scratched his head, "It's not too common, I remember that there is a saying in my hometown that this kind of evil moon is an ominous moon." ” "Ominous Moon" waits thoughtfully.
"What's ominous" Tianzun leaned over and asked, and everyone heard a "bang", and they were collectively stunned and raised their heads I saw that when Yin Hou put down the cup, the window closed by itself.
Everyone was puzzled.
Yin Hou sandwiched a chicken leg and put it in the small four bowls.
The little fourth son raised his face to look at Yin Hou.
Yin Hou lowered his head and whispered a few words in his ear.
Everyone looked at it curiously, Tianzun squinted, and the old ghost whispered to Xiao Sizi What to do, protect with internal force, so he couldn't hear it.
Xiao Sizi blinked and listened, raised his face and nodded at Yin Hou, patted his chest, and the meaning was wrapped around me.
Yin Hou suddenly stretched out a little finger.
Tianzun "poof", slammed the table with a smile, and pointed at Yin Hou, "How old are you?"
However, Yin Hou looked at the little fourth son quite seriously.
Xiao Sizi nodded, put down the chopsticks, and also stretched out a little thumb, seriously pulling the hook with Yin Hou
