Chapter 534: Scholar


Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang went to Fuxian Tower before noon.

Fuxian Building is also a very famous place in Kaifeng, between the Qin Building and the Qinglou, the Qin Ji and the Song Ji in the building are both talented and beautiful, and most of the guests are either rich or expensive.

Fuxian Lou is a business opened by Jianghu people, and the boss is Song Fusheng, the owner of Fuxian Hall, although Zhanzhao has no friendship with him, he has no grudges.

Fuxiantang is a very ordinary kind of Jianghu sect, and the current Jianghu sect, in addition to having kung fu, also has money and people, especially the emerging sects, most of which are doing some business.

The main hall of Fuxian Hall is in Hangzhou Mansion, far away from Fengyuan, so Song Fusheng should not be sitting here.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked to the gate of Fuxian Tower.

After all, Kaifeng is an imperial city, and the Son of Heaven has to be a little magnificent at the feet of the Son of Heaven regardless of whether you are a piano building or a green building, so in addition to the brilliant door frames and signboards in front of the building, there is no mess of people who attract customers.

Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang, "Have you been here?"

Bai Yutang shook his head.

Zhan Zhao crossed his arms and looked back and forth, "On the same street as Baifu" Bai Yutang laughed, "This street is long, and Baifu is far away from here." ” Zhan Zhao patted him, "Legend has it that you are not in the world" Bai Yutang looked at the sky, "Legend has it that you are still a tiger." ” Zhan Zhao squinted.

The two entered the gate of Fuxian Building, and a guy greeted him, raised his eyes, and was stunned, while inviting the two of them inside, he glanced at the other guys behind him.

One of the guys hurried upstairs.

After a while, a decent middle-aged man dressed in gray ran down upstairs, "Distinguished guest" The guy hurriedly told Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, "This is our shopkeeper Liu." ” Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang nodded.

After all, Fuxian Building is a big deal, all the guys here are ghosts, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang will never come to listen to the piano, not to mention that Zhan Zhao is still wearing an official uniform, it is estimated that he is here to investigate what case, at this time what should be done is to quickly call the shopkeeper, and then don't say anything superfluous.

The shopkeeper politely led Showa Baiyutang upstairs and spoke in a place where there were few people.

Of course, there were still many guests in the lobby on the ground floor, all of whom looked at the two of them with some curiosity.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang took a brief look and found a strange place, most of the guests in the Fuxian Mansion were scholars, many of them were wearing student robes, and most of them were from Qiankun Academy.

Zhan Zhao asked Shopkeeper Liu curiously, "Do the students of Qiankun Academy often come?"

The shopkeeper smiled and nodded, "Yes, because it's close, I often come." ” Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, this shopkeeper seems to be an old man, and there is no superfluous word, it is difficult to ask what to estimate.

Shopkeeper Liu led the two to a private room on the second floor, asked the guy to serve tea, and invited the two to sit down, while asking, "The two are listening to the piano" Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, pointed to the seat opposite, and motioned to the shopkeeper to sit down as well.

The shopkeeper sat down.

Zhan Zhao said, "I want to inquire with the shopkeeper." ” The shopkeeper nodded.

"Is there a girl named Yuan'er in your Fuxian Building?"

asked Zhan Zhao.

"Yes, there are two girls named Yuan'er in my building, one is Zhu Yuan'er and the other is Shen Yuanyuan, which one are you looking for?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, who knew what Yuan'er's surname was, so Zhan Zhao said, "Yao Shanshui's confidant." ” "Oh, that's Zhu Yuan'er, we call her Xiao Yuan'er here."

Shopkeeper Liu said and asked, "Can I ask what the two of you are looking for her?"

Zhan Zhao said, "Recently, I found some clues related to this girl, so I want to ask her a few words alone." ” The shopkeeper nodded, understanding that Zhanzhao wanted to see Zhu Yuan'er alone, and he didn't need him to be by his side, so he got up, "Wait a minute, you two, I'll call her." ” waited for the others to leave, and the two of them drank tea while waiting.

Bai Yutang picked up the teacup and sniffed it, and put it down, "It's good tea." ” Zhan Zhao held his chin and looked at the guests who were entering and leaving the Fuxian Mansion downstairs, and asked Bai Yutang, "Ask you something." ” Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

"There are a lot of good shops and people on this street, but why do Pang Yu and they never come here" Zhanzhao wondered, "I found out when I was patrolling the streets before, doesn't this area belong to the east of the city, and it is actually as lively as the city, but the children of those officials rarely come here."

Pang Yu is now attentive, I used to see him often go to play in Tianxiang Garden, Yifeng Pavilion and the like, I haven't seen him come to the east of the city. ” Bai Yutang was said by Zhan Zhao, and he also felt that it seemed to be true, but he didn't pay much attention to this.

Just as he was thinking about how to answer, he heard a delicate voice outside, "People who can play in the city naturally don't come to the east of the city."

If you have money in the east of the city, you can come, but in the city, you can mix it up if you don't have money.

It's like this Qiankun Academy and Taixue, the former can enter if you have money, and the latter is useless if you have money, but you can enter without money, so the one in front is much more expensive than the one in the back."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at the door, and said in their hearts that this girl was very articulate.

Before I saw anyone, I smelled a faint fragrance first, and Bai Yutang distinguished that it was a good smoked fragrance, not a fat powder fragrance.

At this time, I saw a petite girl in a pale pink dress holding a fancy fan in her hand and walking in slowly.

She was followed by two maids, one holding a pipa and the other holding a piano.

The girl looked in her twenties, delicate and lovely, with a little bookish air, not at all like an ordinary singer Qin Ji.

This point was also discovered when Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang went upstairs just now, the girl in the Fuxian Building is indeed not the appearance and temperament of the woman in the land of fireworks, and Master Wang said that all the people here are selling their arts, not selling their bodies, and it is estimated that this is the case.

After Zhu Yuan'er came in, she said a blessing to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, sat opposite them, held her chin and began to look at the two of them, and said, "Oh, you can let me see the real person When the shopkeeper Liu came to call just now, the girls in the building were almost jealous." ” Zhan Zhao smiled, "I'm an official, and it's not necessarily a good thing to find you." ” Zhu Yuan'er spread her hands, "What am I afraid of, I'm just an ordinary woman, alas, isn't it my good luck?"

"You said Yao Shanshui," Zhan Zhao asked.

Zhu Yuan'er shook the fan lightly and nodded, "Who else can there be, let's say, he has provoked the wife and concubine of a big man again."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, and it seemed that Yao Shanshui was quite worry-free.

Zhan Zhao looked at the fan in Zhu Yuan'er's hand, this one seemed to be embroidered with high-grade silk, and the pattern was a lady's picture.

So, Zhanzhao asked, "Does Miss Zhu have a lot of fans?"

Zhu Yuan'er was stunned and nodded.

A maid behind her was helping to light incense, and interjected, "My young lady loves to collect fans, there are thousands of them in total." ” "Did you buy all the fans?"

asked Zhan Zhao.

"Most of them are sent by guests, and Shanshui has sent me a lot."

Zhu Yuaner was curious, "Do the two of you looking for me have anything to do with the fan?"

Zhan Zhao said, "Among the many fans of the girl, are there any strange ones, such as the patterns are demons and monsters?"

Zhu Yuan'er was stunned, held her chin and thought about it, "I don't remember this either" said, and said to the two maids, "Go and bring the box where I put the fan." ” The maid nodded and ran out.

After a while, the maid returned, followed by four servants, carrying two large boxes, and putting them in the house.

The maids opened the box.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang couldn't help frowning, how many fans must be here.

Zhu Yuan'er opened the food box, served snacks, and asked the two maids to take out the fans, and showed them to Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang one by one.

So, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang had no choice but to drink tea, eat snacks, and watch the fans.

This Zhu girl doesn't know what her preferences are, there are so many fans that she can't see them, and there are paintings and everything, some of them are quite something, in the words of the master of the academy, "bad morals", Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang are still very embarrassed.

In the end, a fan finally appeared in front of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, and the two of them pointed at this one at the same time The maid handed the fan to Zhanzhao.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang took a closer look, yes, on the fan, it was the portrait of the three-headed golden tuo that was exactly the same as the huge gold sculpture dug up in the West Mountain Zhan Zhao asked Zhu Yuan'er, "Where did this fan come from?"

Zhu Yuan'er took it and looked at it, and said, "Oh, this fan, it was given by a guest." ” "What kind of guest is it?"

Zhan Zhao asked.

Zhu Yuan'er seemed to be embarrassed, and said, "I don't know what his name is, so he came to drink once, and chatted with me after listening to me play the qin."

Then the next day he suddenly came again, saying that he had heard that I had collected a fan, so he brought this one to me, saying that he had painted it himself. ” Bai Yutang looked at the pattern on the fan, the painting was still quite good, it seemed that he was a literati. “ "How long ago was this?"

Zhan asked.

"It was four or five years ago, and the man hasn't been here since.

Zhan Zhao felt strange, "Looking at the number of fans, there should be a lot of people who give the girl a fan, this fan was given several years ago, but do you remember clearly what is special about that person?"

Zhu Yuan'er smiled slightly, "Of course it's special, because that's the only student who is too learning."

Zhan Zhao was stunned.

Bai Yutang also frowned, "The one who gave you the fan is a student of Taixue."

Zhu Yuan'er nodded, "There are basically no students from Fuxian Mansion who are too academic, so I remember it very clearly."

"Does he have any characteristics?"

Zhan Zhao asked Zhu Yuan'er to describe the student.

"It's just an ordinary student, he looks quite delicate, right, he has a Jiangnan accent."

Zhu Yuaner recalled, "There were many guests sitting and listening to the piano that day, and he looked inconspicuous at all, and I didn't pay much attention to him.

But when he came to give me a fan the next day, he was wearing a Taixue robe, and not only I remembered it, but many sisters also remembered it. ” Zhan Zhao asked Zhu Yuan'er to describe the student's appearance in detail, but since it was four or five years ago, that means that the student is no longer studying in Taixue, so he had to ask the masters for a while, I don't know if there will be any clues.

Zhan Zhao asked curiously, "What did you mean when you said before that you could be in the city and not come to the east of the city?"

Zhu Yuan'er covered her mouth and laughed, "Lord Zhan, don't you know that the major academies have rankings, Taixue is royal, and those who can go there to study are originally one level higher than other academies."

Don't look at the students in Qiankun Academy who spend a lot of money, it can't compare to learning too much, a poor student has weight, who calls people to have real talent and real learning, unless" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both looked at her unless anything.

Zhu Yuan'er smiled, "Haven't you heard recently that there will be a competition between the four academies, if any academy can win the Taixue, it will be different."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other silently, and when she said this, it was indeed no wonder that the masters of Taixue were so nervous.

Zhu Yuan'er didn't know much, and she didn't know why the student gave her such a fan.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang didn't think she had anything special, so they got up and said goodbye.

It's almost noon when you get out of Fuxian Tower.

Zhan Zhao looked at the sky with his hands behind his back, "Oops, I'm going to study too much." ” Bai Yutang asked Zhanzhao, "What do you want to teach?"

"Hmm" Zhanzhao hugged his arms, "I can teach them a lot, such as which sweet and sour fish is delicious, which roast duck is the most delicious, etc."

Bai Yutang couldn't cry or laugh.

Zhan Zhao looked at him with a smile, "Then what are you going to teach them?"

Bai Yutang thought for a while, "Well, how to identify fake antiques and the like, how to find the lost old man and the lost cat, etc."

Zhan Zhao couldn't help but smile and squinted at Bai Yutang.

The two of them came to Taibaiju, and sure enough, they saw the window of the private room they frequented, and the little fourth son was looking around, and when they saw the two of them, they hurriedly waved their hands.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang went upstairs, everyone was there, the scene in the private room was lively and chaotic, and everyone was discussing what to teach while eating.

The moment Zhan Zhao entered the door, he suddenly had an illusion, the illusion that he had returned to the Demon Palace.

He remembered that when he first came to Kaifeng, he was the only one who came to Taibaiju to eat, it was deserted, and then it became to eat with Baiyutang, and then later, there were more and more people so that now, Taibaiju's largest private room and largest table can fit all these people Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang entered the house and sat down, and told all the things they had investigated from Zhu Yuan'er about the fan, and Zhu Yuan'er asked them to bring the fan.

Gongsun held the fan and looked at it, "The workmanship is good." ” "Why does the student look so much like Jin Shan" Pang Yu quipped on the side, "Did that girl touch a ghost?"

"Speaking of Kim Sun," Zhanzhao asked Gongsun, "Has anyone gone to recognize the body?"

Gongsun nodded, "I found a few people who had seen Jin Shan and recognized it, and Lin Fuzi also recognized it, saying that it was Jin Shan in the coffin."

"Then why doesn't his body decompose," Bai Yutang wondered.

Gongsun clapped his hands, "I was about to say that this Jin Shan was indeed hanged, but his body was not rotten or rotten, not because he was poisoned before he died, but because he had a sea jade gentian in his mouth."

Everyone was stunned, and the noisy noise just now stopped.

Lin's eyes lit up in the night, "the legendary sea jade gentian" "Is that really there" Tianzun and Yin Hou were also surprised.

Zhan Zhao felt strange, how did everyone seem to know, but he hadn't even heard of it, so he hurriedly asked, "What is that?"

Zhao Pu breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought I hadn't heard of it, gentian or something, did you eat it?"

Gongsun was helpless, "That's a treasure, it's also one of the four legendary elixirs, this thing preserves the corpse with a kind of marine medicinal herbs, born in the deep seabed, the size is about the same as a quail egg, hard as a rock, there is a strange fragrance, there is a kind of sea dragon fish that specializes in eating shellfish in the sea, and accidentally will eat this precious medicinal material as a shell."

Some fishermen caught the sea dragon fish and took it out of its belly, so it was named sea gentian.

The sea dragon fish is very rare, this medicinal material is even rarer, the sea gentian is not bought with ten thousand gold, I don't know how many emperors will pay people to find this thing everywhere, just want to be buried after death, and the body will not rot for thousands of years. ” Zhan Zhao couldn't help but sigh, "Coupled with that coffin, although the Jin family didn't have a big funeral, they really kept Jin Shan's body very well."

Everyone nodded.

At this time, I heard Bai Yutang ask Gongsun, "What will happen if you take out the sea gentian in his mouth?"

Gongsun shook his head, "The corpse will decompose, but the speed will be a little slower than that of ordinary corpses." ” Bai Yutang nodded and didn't make a sound.

Zhan Zhao saw that he had doubts on his face and asked, "Do you think there is anything wrong?"

Bai Yutang said, "This coffin, coupled with the sea gentian, has a sense of cherishing and cautious, but it is buried very hastily, just a random grave, and it is clearly written on the tombstone."

Everyone felt that Bai Yutang's words made some sense.

"Actually, when I dug yesterday, I found something not quite right."

"The soil is very soft, and although the grave is overgrown with weeds, the roots of the grass are broken. ” "What do you mean," Zhao Pu asked.

"I and a few more experienced soldiers in the digging army think that this grave is actually a new grave, but it is disguised as an old grave."

"Did someone deliberately let us find Jinshan's body?"

asked Zhao Pu. was discussing, and I heard the little fourth son shouting, "Look." ” Everyone was puzzled, looked out the window, and saw that there were many scholars wearing brand-new Taixue student robes on the street.

Zhan Zhao looked at the time, "It's almost time for us to leave, just find a few Taixue masters to ask for clues about the scholar who sent Yuan'er a fan back then." ” The crowd stood up.

At this time, the little fourth son was still lying by the window and looking down.

Xiao Liangzi went over and patted him, "Jin'er, let's go." ” "Hmm" the little fourth son agreed, but he was still looking out the window.

Xiao Liang went to take his hand, took a look at it by the way, and asked, "Who do you see?"

Xiao Sizi pulled Xiao Liang's hand down from the stool and said to him, "Xiao Liangzi, the little brother who was lying in the coffin yesterday, I seemed to see him just now."

"Ha" Xiao Liangzi jumped, "what" Zhan Zhao, who was walking behind, also looked back at the little fourth son, Bai Yutang frowned, and looked at the little fourth son of Zhanzhao to say that he saw Jin Shan "That little brother is wearing a Taixue robe and walking forward with a few books" The little fourth son touched his chin, "Isn't he dead?"

Zhanzhao quickly went to the window and glanced down, but there were many students wearing Taixue robes below, and after carefully distinguishing it, he didn't see anything like Jin Shan.

Xiao Liang felt panicked, "Jin'er, are you mistaken?"

Xiao Sizi tilted his head, "Yes, maybe it looks like it." ” After saying that, the two children didn't suspect him, and ran downstairs hand in hand.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, it shouldn't be so evil:
