Zhan Zhao and the others said goodbye to the Taishi and rushed to find Shen Yan.
As he walked, Zhao Pu asked with a stiff mouth, "Do you guess that Shen Yan is still alive?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but muttered a little in their hearts.
The little fourth son, who was dozing off on Zhao Pu's shoulder, raised his head, yawned, rubbed it twice and continued to sleep.
The crowd was silent for a moment.
Gongsun said, "According to the law that has always been" Bai Yutang nodded, "Shen Yan estimates that there is less luck. ” Zhan Zhao looked left and right, "Don't you say that you are sick and recuperate at home, don't scare yourself" The other three all looked at him helplessly, Shen Yan was obviously an important insider, and the rest of them were all dead, so there was no reason to leave him well, right "But since I said that I haven't seen anyone for a few days, maybe it's really not good, I hope it's just sick or pretending to be sick or something" Zhan Zhao felt that if Shen Yan also had something long and two short, then his reputation for bad luck would be confirmed.
Everyone came to the door of Shen Yan's house with apprehension, and looked like it was a funeral.
Zhan Zhao stepped forward and knocked on the door.
After a while, the door was opened, and an old man looked out, and said, "My master is not a guest." ” Zhan Zhao took out the waist card of Kaifeng Mansion, "There are some things I want to find Shen Yan, Dean Shen." ” The old man was stunned and opened the door.
At this time, it was getting late, and he probably didn't see it clearly just now, but now the door opened, but he saw clearly that it was Zhanzhao at the door.
"Lord Zhan, my lord is not here."
The old man replied.
Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, "I went to the academy to find him just now, don't you say that you are sick and recuperate at home, why is he not here?"
"My lord suddenly said seven days ago that he had something to go out of, and he also told that if anyone asked, he would say that he was sick and recuperating, and he would thank all guests in the near future."
The old man was also quite helpless, "He didn't say where he went, he just said that he would come back in a while." ” Zhan Zhao frowned, "Didn't he say anything else?"
The old man shook his head, "He's in a hurry," he said, and asked Zhanzhao with some anxiety, "Is something wrong with the master?"
Zhan Zhao asked, "Can you go to his study and have a look?"
The old man nodded, didn't stop him, and let Zhanzhao enter the door.
The old man is the housekeeper of the Shen Mansion, and Shen Yan is also the head of the first courtyard, the house is naturally shabby, and the smell of the house books is also quite heavy.
Zhan Zhao followed the housekeeper to Shen Yan's study, and the housekeeper said to call his wife, and the family was actually quite worried about Shen Yan, after all, it was a bit abnormal to leave so suddenly.
Zhan Zhao and the others took a look around his study.
Shen Yan still has some taste, there are several paintings and calligraphy hanging in the study, all of which are masterpieces, and it can be seen that he has a wide range of books and furnishings.
Bai Yutang looked at the desk, and there were half-read scrolls on the table, all of which were calligraphy and paintings by students of Yuanqing Academy.
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside.
I saw a beautiful woman in a plain white dress walk in and salute everyone.
Zhan Zhao walked over and returned the salute.
The housekeeper introduced that this was the lady.
Shen Yan has only one wife, and the two are more than ten years apart and have no children.
Everyone observed this Mrs.
Shen, who was only in her early twenties, and Shen Yan should not be very old, in her forties.
This woman seems to be well-read and has an outstanding temperament.
The woman was a little anxious and asked, "Lord Zhan, but what happened to my father-in-law?"
Zhan Zhao said, "We just want to ask him about someone, Madame knows where he went."
Mrs.
Shen frowned, "I just don't know, the whole family is worried, he has never been such a person who has not explained, if he hadn't instructed me not to report to the official, I would have gone to Kaifeng Mansion to report the case a few days ago." ” "Report" Zhan Zhao was puzzled.
"My father-in-law suddenly said that he was going to leave seven days ago, or did he leave in the middle of the night, and before leaving, he told me that no matter who asked, he would say that he was sick and recuperating, and he was not allowed to make a noise and report to the official, and he would come back when the time came."
"Come back then" Gongsun was puzzled, "When will I come back?"
Mrs.
Shen shook her head, "I always feel weird these days, it seems that someone broke into his study that day." ” The housekeeper also nodded, "The feeling that the study has been turned over, and the maids also said that they saw a figure." ” Bai Yutang asked, "Why did he leave suddenly, did he have any signs before leaving?"
"Is this it?"
Mrs.
Shen hesitated.
Zhan Zhao said, "Mrs.
Shen, Dean Shen may be in danger, the safest way is for us to find him first." ” Mrs.
Shen nodded and said, "That's the case, after he learned that Xie Yiting died in the Jin family's old mansion that day, the whole person was very nervous, and he left that night."

"Did he take anything with him?"
asked Zhanzhao.
"He brought a bag with him, and he didn't know what it contained."
Mrs.
Shen was helpless.
Zhan Zhao thought about it and looked at Bai Yutang, "Let me try it" Bai Yutang nodded, walked out of the study, and whistled on the roof.
Zhan Zhao asked Mrs.
Shen, "Do you have any clothes for Shen Yan?"
Mrs.
Shen took Shen Yan's coat and hat out.
After a while, the shadow hovered overhead, and he fell into the courtyard, and first rubbed his head against Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang patted it and took Shen Yan's clothes to smell it.
He sniffed it, flapped his wings and flew out.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang also went out with them.
After all, this is near Shen Yan's home, and Shen Yan's smell should be a lot, so he turned around for a long time, and finally flew out along the long street.
Zhan Zhao and others followed all the way.
He finally landed at the door of Yuanqing Academy, wagging his tail to look at Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao glanced at each other, this road should be Shen Yan's usual walk, and he was probably disturbed by the smell.
Bai Yutang motioned to it, and then looked for another way.
He tilted his head to look at Bai Yutang.
Flew to the top of the wall of Yuanqing Academy and flapped his wings twice, which means here and here Bai Yutang and Zhanzhao seemed to have no hope anymore, after all, they were not human, and it was difficult to express it to them.
At this time, Zhao Pu and Gongsun also came.
Zhao Pu stretched out his hand and patted the buttocks of the little fourth son who was already asleep in his arms.
Xiao Sizi raised his head, reached out and rubbed his buttocks, and looked around.
Zhao Pu asked him, "Alas, where is the person we are looking for?"
The little fourth son yawned and stretched out his hand.
Everyone saw that he was referring to the gate of Yuanqing Academy.
Zhan Zhao frowned slightly and looked at Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang also felt a little subtle, but someone else was in Yuanqing Academy Gongsun also came over, "Could it be that the master of the academy deceived us?"
Zhan Zhao was puzzled, "There's no reason." ” Thinking about it, Zhan Zhao stepped forward and knocked on the closed door of the academy.
After a while, someone came to open the door.
Because Yuanqing Academy is all local students in Kaifeng, the academy is closed at night, and there is only an old man who guards the door.
The old man opened the door and looked at them in bewilderment.
Zhanzhao beckoned to him and motioned for him to come out.
When the old man went out, Zhanzhao said to him, "A fugitive has run in. ” The old man was startled.
Zhan Zhao said, "You go back to sleep first, let's just catch someone." ” The old man nodded, nodded, and hurriedly ran away.
Zhan Zhao and the others glanced at each other and entered Yuanqing Academy.
The academy is darkly lit.
The shadow guards found lanterns and lit them around.
Bai Yutang patted the qi qi and motioned for it to look for it He walked forward in a hurry, and Zhan Zhao and the others followed behind.
It didn't take long for him to walk to the door of a study and start tilting his head to look at the study.
Zhan Zhao walked over, pushed, and the door of the study opened, and it was still dark inside.
The shadow guards lit the lights, judging from the layout of the study, it was somewhat similar to the furnishings of Shen Yan's study, which should be his study in the academy They squeezed through the door, and after a few turns in place, they began to pull at the walls of one place.
Bai Yutang walked over, reached out and knocked on the wall, raising his eyebrows slightly.
Everyone saw that the fifth master began to look around, the vase turned, the candlestick broke twice, in short, here and there, and finally heard a click.

Bai Yutang looked up, and everyone saw that the wall that had been pulled just now turned outward, and a crack in the door appeared, and a light appeared inside.
At the same time, I heard a "pop" sound from inside, as if something had fallen to the ground, and the sound of panicked footsteps.
Zhan Zhao shouted inside, "Dean Shen, don't be afraid, I'm Zhan Zhao." ” After Zhan Zhao finished speaking, the busy sound inside stopped, and then he heard footsteps.
After a while, the door was pushed open, and a white and chubby middle-aged man appeared behind the door and smiled awkwardly at Zhanzhao and them.
Zhao Pu touched his chin, this Shen Yan was actually hiding.
Gongsun whispered, "It seems that he is quite shrewd, if he hadn't hidden, maybe he would have died like Xie Yiting and them." ” Zhao Pu nodded.
Shen Yan walked out, "Master Zhan, why are you here?"
Zhan Zhao crossed his arms and looked at him, "Let's come to Master Shen to inquire about someone." ” Shen Yan smiled and asked, "Who do you ask?"
"Lin Ziwen."
When Zhan Zhao's three words came out, Shen Yan's face turned white, and everyone looked at him sweating on his head, and it was estimated that he knew a lot.
Zhao Pu asked, "You hid to show that you are worried about your life, since you are afraid of losing your life, why didn't you come to Kaifeng Mansion to surrender?"
"No, I don't," Shen Yan shook his head vigorously.
Zhanzhao went to the table and sat down, motioning for him to come and sit down.
Shen Yan walked over, sat down with everyone, looked up at Zhanzhao and the others, and sighed, "I'm afraid and what does hiding have to do with Ziwen, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years." “ Everyone glanced at each other, what Shen Yan said, didn't he know that Lin Ziwen was dead "Why are you hiding" Zhanzhao didn't tell him clearly, and asked first.
"Because Xie Yiting is dead, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape this catastrophe."
Shen Yan was helpless, "But since Kaifeng Mansion has taken over this matter, maybe I can find out and catch the murderer, and I will be able to come out." ” "Do you know who the murderer of Xie Yiting is?"
asked Zhan Zhao.
"I don't know exactly, but I know what Xie Yiting died for."
Shen Yan whispered.
Zhan Zhao motioned for him to continue.
"You have probably found out, Xie Yiting will do something to sell stolen goods for others in private."
Shen Yan said in a low voice, "Always walking at night, sooner or later I will bump into the ghost and his death, it should have something to do with the batch of goods he bought recently." ” "Goods" Zhanzhao wondered, "what goods" "It's a batch of gold."
Shen Yan opened his mouth, and before he finished speaking, he heard Zhao Pu suddenly come to his voice, "Be careful" Immediately, Zhan Zhao pounced on Shen Yan with his hand, and Zhao Pu hugged the little fourth son and hugged Gongsun Yimao's waist, Bai Yutang kicked over the table, blocking several people.
At the same time, there were a few "whoosh" sounds, and more than a dozen silver needles were nailed to the table.
Outside, the voice of the shadow guard came, "What kind of person?"
Bai Yutang went out.
Purple Shadow and Ochre Shadow are chasing out.
The fifth master also chased out.
Zhan Zhao ran outside and went to the roof.
At this time, Bai Yutang stood on the roof not far away, turned around and shook his head at him, indicating that he had fled.
Zhan Zhao looked at the dark streets and alleys, at this time the Kaifeng Night Market has not yet ended, in front of the roof where Bai Yutang is standing is the most lively Nantian Street in Kaifeng, there are a lot of people at night, no matter who attacked just now, mixed into the crowd, don't think about finding it.
Bai Yutang came back and asked who Ziying and Ochre Ying had seen just now.
Ochre said, "A shadow will pass in a flash." ” Ziying also nodded, "The body technique is so fast, as soon as the hidden weapon appeared, it left his hand, and it was too late for us to chase it." ” Ochre also frowned, "I seem to see half a person. ” "I'm really not dazzled," Purple Shadow clapped her hands, "That figure feels transparent" Zhan Zhao looks at Bai Yutang.
Bai Yutang saw a figure jumping off the roof just now, and that person did seem to be transparent, acting strangely, or he was wearing some strange clothes, almost blending with the night, if it weren't for the breath, he wouldn't have been able to find it at all.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang returned to the house. saw that the little fourth son also woke up, and Gongsun stood aside with him in his arms.
Zhao Pu was looking at a few silver needles on the table, while Shen Yan, who was frightened, was standing aside, staring at the silver needles on the table in a daze.
Gongsun said, "The needle is not poisonous, but the needle is a little strange." ” Zhan Zhao also took a closer look, and found that it was not an ordinary embroidery needle, but a snake-shaped needle, and the whole needle was like a snake, and it was shining in the moonlight Bai Yutang looked at the needle and nodded, "Pure gold." ” Zhan Zhao raised his head and looked at Shen Yan, wanting to ask him if he knew who was plotting against him, but Shen Yan's face was like ashes at this time.
If Gongsun hadn't checked him and wasn't injured, everyone would have almost thought he had been poisoned.
Zhao Pu looked at Gongsun.
Gongsun whispered, "He was frightened. ” Even if someone plotted against Shen Yan, there was no reason for him to be scared like this, and he stared straight at those serpentine needles with his eyes, swallowing his saliva.
"Dean Shen."
Zhan Zhao called him several times before Shen Yan came back to his senses, "Hmm" "You weren't done yet."
Zhan Zhao said, "Do you want to go to Kaifeng Mansion and say?"
It's just that before Zhanzhao finished speaking, Shen Yan suddenly turned around and ran to the bookshelf to rummage through things.
Zhan Zhao and the others looked at each other and walked over to take a look.

I saw Shen Yan rummaging through the boxes and cabinets for a long time, and finally found a box, opened it and saw that the box was empty.
"It's gone" Shen Yan seemed to be stimulated by something, "Who took it away?"
Zhanzhao frowned, "Don't get excited first, what is lost?"
"It's gone, it's gone" Shen Yan became more and more excited, and people trembled, like that, it was almost like losing his life.
At this time, Gongsun felt that Xiao Sizi tugged his hand, looked down, and saw Xiao Sizi stretching out his hand and pointing at Shen Yan's back with his back to him, and said, "Daddy, look, snake head." ” Everyone was stunned and looked in the direction of Xiao Sizi's fingers, and saw that the back of Shen Yan's clothes was torn off, which should have been scratched when he fell to the ground just now.
He lived underground probably because of the sweltering heat, and he only wore a single layer of clothing, and at this time, a tattoo of a snake's head appeared on the back of the exposed back of the clothes.
Zhao Pu reached over and ripped open his shirt.
When everyone looked at it, they all frowned and saw that Shen Yan's back was tattooed with a "monster", a human body with a snake head, and only one head was very similar to the three-headed Jin Tuo dug up from Naxi Mountain, the only difference was that there were two heads missing
