Lu Yuelan received an invitation and took a look at it. The prefect himself was surprised, so he handed it to everyone to see.

"Would you like to watch the opening match of Meihua Ju the day after tomorrow?" Gongsun blinked, "Meihua Ju? Is it the three-person Cuju that Xiao Chenzi has been playing?"

Zhao Pu became a little more interested when he heard "Cuju" and asked, "Watching the game?"

Bai Yutang took the invitation and the letter in the invitation and read it carefully. Zhan Zhao told Gongsun and Zhao Pu that on the island just now, Shen Yuanchen said that he wanted to form a team to play in the spring game. He also said that Zhao Zhen had given him a

The team name of "Good Times and Beautiful Views".

"Sounds good." Zhao Pu rubbed his hands.

Gongsun was delighted when he heard this, "What a beautiful scene at a good time? Could it be my fourth son? Hahaha... How can he get to the plum blossom pile? Don't let the ball hit him."

Zhan Zhao and Zhao Pu both looked at him - you dare to complain about him when the fourth son is not around, if you have the ability, do it in front of your dumplings!

"Yuan Chen said the game won't start until the end of the month. Why is there a game the day after tomorrow?" Fang Jingxiao wondered.

"The opening match is a ceremonial match, which means it is a bit of a performance. It is just to add to the fun and heat up the atmosphere." Mr. Wu is quite familiar with this practice, "Generally, this kind of competition is funded by the squires of the host place.

People spend money just to make a splash, and the more lively the event, the better.”

"This is the first time that the Spring Games are held in Shaoxing, but it is not organized by the government, and most of the participants are Jianghu sects. This is a Jianghu activity. Why did you invite me to watch the game?" Lu Yuelan always felt that it was a bit subtle, "And this gang

The squire usually doesn't have much friendship with me, but I can't play with them."

"I heard from Yuan Chen that there are more than a hundred teams participating this time." Fang Jingxiao thought of a possibility, "And most of them are Jianghu sects. Could it be that they are afraid of something happening, so they want to ask the Yamen to help maintain order?"

Lu Yuelan touched her chin, feeling it was a bit far-fetched, "So you invite me to watch the opening game and discuss this matter with me during the period? If it is a private game, it is possible, but this is a Jianghu event. How can Jianghu people ask the government to maintain order?

?It’s unreasonable.”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both nodded after hearing this, indeed.

"Is that for other purposes?" Fang Jingxiao asked Lu Yuelan, "Are you going then?"

"Go, why don't you go?" Lu Yuelan smiled slightly, "The invitation also said that you can bring your friends with you."

After saying that, the magistrate glanced at Zhan Zhao and the others.

Of course, everyone was willing to go. Zhan Zhao felt that if he went to the other courtyard and shouted around, the spectators would fill up the stands.

…

Putting the invitation aside, Lu Yuelan examined Shen Qing and Lu Shi that Fang Jingxiao brought back from Shuiyue Palace.

After asking for some details, it turned out that this was indeed just a case of murdering her husband. The only special thing was that Shen Qing got the poisonous spider from Mrs. En.

Master En gave him a poisonous spider. I don’t know if he knew he wanted to harm Shen Bin a long time ago and came to borrow a knife to kill him, or it was just a coincidence... Now Master En is dead, and there is no evidence of his death.

The clues in the case have been cut off at this point. If you want to continue digging deeper, you can only find the murderer of Mrs. En first.

Lu Yuelan sent officials around to find out if there were any witnesses, but Zhan Zhao and the others knew that with this skill of picking leaves and flying flowers, most people would not be able to see how the willow leaves flew out. In addition, this Mrs. En was not a good person either. If it was just solved by a passing expert, it would be really difficult to check.

…

If Enfuzi's background cannot be found, the only way to investigate the Heavenly Lady's Decoration is through another related figure, "The Thief Yellow Turtle Dove".

But this person is also elusive and has no clues.

"Alas..." Lu Yuelan sighed.

"It feels like I've come full circle." Zhan Zhao has encountered this kind of situation before when handling cases. "The Heavenly Lady's Ornament is the treasure of Lingdie Palace, and the only insider, Shen Bin, died again."

"Speaking of Lingdie Palace." Bai Yutang asked Lu Yuelan, "How many have you investigated?"

Lu Yuelan led everyone into the study and took out a large number of files they had found so far, "We have been collecting clues over the years. These files record the treasures belonging to Lingdie Palace that have been resold on the market over the years. .Of course, there should be a large number of things that have not been recorded or verified.”

"So many?" Zhao Pu frowned, "Lingdie Palace didn't sell these things back then, right?"

Lu Yuelan shook her head, "No."

"Then these things did not flow out of Lingdie Palace through normal channels. In other words, they were stolen or robbed." Zhan Zhao frowned, "So before Lingdie Palace sank, was there ever a large-scale robbery? ?”

"It's possible..." Gongsun said, "The purpose of sinking Lingdie Palace was to cover up the robbery?"

"We think the same way." Lu Yuelan nodded, "The sinking of the Lingdie Palace back then was probably due to the pursuit of wealth."

"This requires coordinating the inside and the outside." Zhao Pu looked through the files, "The wealth of Lingdie Palace cannot be moved away by a few thieves in a few days. This will not be possible unless the crime is committed for a long time, or an army is mobilized to transport it away in a big ship."

Fang Jingxiao also nodded, "Ling Palace left a huge wealth in those days. The bulk of it is stored in Lingdie Palace. Although Shuiyue Palace and Lingdie Palace formed Shuiyue Lingdie, Lingdie Palace was the main palace. In the past, Shen Ling also lives in the Spiritual Butterfly Palace, and the foundation of the real Spiritual Palace is also the Spiritual Butterfly Palace."

"Shen Lingyue doesn't have any clues to provide?" Zhan Zhao asked Fang Jingxiao curiously.

Fang Jingxiao was not sure, "I asked her, and she said she didn't know the secret of Lingdie Palace. She left Lingdie Palace and inherited Shuiyue Palace when she was sensible. She has never been there since. Once in Lingdie Palace."

Gongsun was puzzled, "Why? Are the two sisters not in good terms?"

"Not really. I heard from some elders that the two sisters have a good relationship. My grandmother often goes to Shuiyue Palace, but Shen Lingyue never goes to Lingdie Palace. This is true." Fang Jingxiao obviously also told other people who knew about it. People have verified that Shen Lingyue did not lie to him.

"What exactly is hidden in the Lingdie Palace? It's mysterious. Also, Shen Lingyue said that the Lingdie Palace has a giant purple jade as the cornerstone. How big is it?" Zhan Zhao was curious, but everyone who knew about it was dead. , and there was no place to ask.

"Not necessarily." Bai Yutang suddenly said, "There is someone who may know whether that piece of purple jade really exists."

Everyone looked at him.

Zhao Pu thought for a while and asked in a low voice, "You mean the Holy Spirit King?"

Fifth Master nodded, Gongsun and Zhan Zhao both touched their chins - it was indeed worth asking.

Fang Jingxiao and Lu Yuelan were both dumbfounded - where can they ask the Holy Spirit King? They have been dead for a thousand years.

Zhan Zhao and the others laughed dryly - Oops, it's a long story...

Zhan Zhao briefly talked about the black water evil spirit, and Lu Yuelan and Fang Jingxiao couldn't close their mouths - so mysterious?

"Hurry up then!" Lu Yuelan dragged Fang Jingxiao and went back to the other courtyard with Zhan Zhao and the others to find Granny Heishui.

…

In the Bai family's manor.

After Ouyang Shaozheng escorted Zhao Zhen back, he took the guards away.

Zhao Zhen and Shen Yuanchen got off the carriage together and asked Bai Xia, who was passing by, where the fourth son and the others were.

Bai Xia said they were all enjoying flowers and drinking tea in the backyard.

Zhao Zhen took Shen Yuanchen to the backyard, but found that there were many backyards in the manor, where were they?

Shen Yuanchen raised his face and looked at the other courtyard, which occupied the entire mountain and could not see the wall at a glance, "My dear! It's bigger than my Shuiyue Palace!"

Zhao Zhen brags to Shen Yuanchen, saying, "My family is bigger than this!"

Shen Yuanchen opened his mouth and asked Zhao Zhen, "Really or not? Does your family live in the palace?"

Zhao Zhen smiled and touched his head - the child has a future!

Nangong Ji asked the maid in the Bai Mansion and said that everyone was in the tea garden. The maid showed him a way to a large garden halfway up the mountain.

As soon as we entered the garden, we smelled the pleasant fragrance of camellia.

This garden is extremely exquisite. The courtyard is paved with white fine stones, and excellent camellias are planted everywhere.

In addition to camellias and stone lanterns, there are two pavilions in the courtyard, one large and one small. The large pavilion has a huge rattan mat, which is more than a foot thick. When people enter the pavilion, they take off their shoes and sit on the rattan mat.

In the small pavilion are ordinary tables and chairs.

At this time, the two pavilions, one large and one small, were full of people.

In the big pavilion, Hong Jiuniang, Lu Xueer, Blackwater Granny and Pang Fei were all there, as well as a group of other beauties that Zhao Zhen couldn't name... There was one in blue who looked familiar. She seemed to be called Blue Fox.

The leader of the gangsters in Kaifeng City.

The beauties are playing Shuanglu, which is very lively.

Concubine Pang leaned on a futon and watched curiously while discussing with Miss Tang.

In the small pavilion next to it, Xiao Sizi and several other children were playing chess together. Xiao Xiangxiang was stepping on a stool and was helping Xiao Sizi with ideas.

As soon as Zhao Zhen entered the door, he waved to Concubine Pang in the pavilion, "Madam!"

Concubine Pang raised her head and waved to Zhao Zhen, "Mr.

On this tour, Zhao Zhen and Concubine Pang pretended to be an ordinary couple, changed each other's names, and played the wife-in-law joke all the way without getting tired of it.

Xiao Xiangxiang turned around when she heard Zhao Zhen's voice. Zhao Zhen had already run over, picked up her daughter and kissed her first.

Shen Yuanchen also ran into the pavilion and kicked Tang Luomei's stool leg first.

Tang Luomei protected the stool.

Shen Yuanchen kicked his feet but did not move, and said "Yeah", "The internal strength has increased again!"

Tang Luomei looked at Shen Yuanchen, who was wearing a jersey and a red silk tie on his left arm, "Why did you run out? It's almost time for the game and you're not practicing?"

Shen Yuanchen sat down next to him, reached out and took out three red silk ribbons from his arms.

Tang Luomei was stuffed, Shen Yuanchen turned his face and asked Xiao Liang, "Little Liangzi?"

Xiao Liangzi blinked.

Shen Yuanchen asked, "Can you play football?"

Xiao Liangzi tilted his head, "Cuju?"
