1176 Depends on you
But seeing Mrs. Qu's expression, she seemed to know nothing, as if no one was more confused than her at the moment.

"This matter is strange," Mrs. Qu said, looking at the golden coffin, "The Lanting Pavilion was built not long ago, and the last renovation was only half a year ago, and no abnormalities have been found. And these things have been mobilized just by carrying them out now." At least thirty grown-up men."

"You mean, these are not yours?" Xia Zhaoyi said.

"Ali, this is a coffin, even if it is made of gold, it is still a coffin, who would properly bury the coffin in the mansion." Mrs. Qu said.

Xia Zhaoyi looked at her, then at the coffin.

Under the sun, the coffin and the screens reflected a smooth and shiny golden glow, and the gold in some places was covered by too much sand, and the surface was dull.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Mrs. Qu continued: "I don't know when they were buried. The Lanting Pavilion is on the other side. It was not touched here when it was excavated. It is very likely that they were there before the mansion was built. .”

"It's such a coincidence that it was discovered just today?" said Fan Zhuyi who was standing behind them.

Mrs. Qu glanced at him, and explained the whole story to Xia Zhaoyi.

Goudan squatted beside Zhao Gong, probably aware that someone was talking about it, and turned his head to look, wheezing and sticking out his tongue.

Zhao Gong stood in the crowd, looking down at the golden coffin on the ground, and because of the dog's gaze, he also looked up.

Seeing Xia Zhaoyi looking at his dog, he grabbed the dog's egg and waved his paw at Xia Zhaoyi.

"This Prince Zhao is worse than his dog." Mrs. Qu said.

"In this way, it was really an accident," Xia Zhaoyi said, "Then this golden coffin... Mrs. Qu, do you want to open it now?"

"Open here?" Mrs. Qu was taken aback, "A Li, is it okay?"

"If you want to find out why it is here, you must open it. As for whether it is appropriate to open it here, it depends on you."

Mrs. Qu frowned, and turned her eyes to look at the several stone statues enshrined in the lobby of Lanting Pavilion.

"Could it be blasphemy? If there is something in the coffin... wouldn't it be..." Mrs. Qu murmured.

Xia Zhaoyi smiled lightly, looked back at the golden coffin: "Then take it away, and find another place to open it."

Fan Zhuyi sneered: "It is clear that this place is the most suitable place to open the coffin. The so-called enshrining gods, you worship and respect, all you want is to protect your own safety and health, otherwise why do you want to offer it? Now it should be this god It's time to contribute, you should see if these years of offerings have given them free food and drink."

Xia Zhaoyi raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

"Did I say something wrong?" Fan Zhuyi asked.

Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "Mr. Fan is indeed an expert in tomb robbers, he is very knowledgeable."

Fan Zhuyi snorted coldly, disdain to discuss with her further.

"Then, open here?" Mrs. Qu said.

"It's up to you." Xia Zhaoyi still said the same.

Mrs. Qu thought for a while, and said: "If you want to open it, then drive this old man back to the dark room."

"You are busy with your work, I still have something to ask him," Xia Zhaoyi said, looking at the soldiers beside him, "Take Fan Zhuyi back."

Shi Guoxin and others responded and stepped forward to block Fan Zhuyi's sight.

"Fan Zhuyi, please." Shi Guoxin said coldly.

Fan Zhuyi took a deep look at the golden coffin in the courtyard, and with some reluctance, he turned and went back to the lobby.

Xia Zhaoyi didn't stay outside for long, and reprimanded the soldier who had just knocked on the door before returning.

The voice was very low, but Fan Zhuyi could still hear it clearly through the door and window.

The girl scolded the soldier for making a fuss out of a molehill, this is Qu's business, so there's no need to make a fuss.

As soon as she entered, Mrs. Qu in the courtyard began to disperse the crowd.

Fan Zhuyi laughed and said: "Even in front of such wealthy people as Mrs. Qu and Zhao Ning, the golden coffin is not an ordinary thing. Aren't you curious about a coffin made of so much gold? It can afford such a scale There are not many people in the golden coffin in the world, and there will not be many in the history books."

Xia Zhaoyi glanced at him, then went back to the back of the guqin: "The front foot praised me for being calm, so forget about it."

"It seems that you are not interested," Fan Zhuyi said, "Then, what else do you want to ask? You said that if I answer you, you will immediately set me free."

"I will give you back your freedom," Xia Zhaoyi said lightly, then turned to look north, "Zhan Ning."

Fan Zhuyi frowned and turned his head to look.

With the opening of the stone gate, Zhan Ning pushed Shen Wen up the slope slowly.

As soon as Fan Zhuyi saw Shen Yan, his unkind expression completely sank.

"They've been listening to us inside?" Fan Zhuyi looked at Xia Zhaoyi.

Xia Zhaoyi's face was calm, and he didn't intend to answer.

The corners of Shen Yan's lips were slightly raised, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "Ali."

His eyes are still under the silk cloth, and his high nose and thin lips are more handsome because of covering his eyes.

Xia Zhaoyi looked at Zhan Ning.

Zhan Ning nodded slightly, and said to Shen Wen: "I will remove the cloth from your eyes, you close your eyes first, otherwise there will be stinging pain."

"Okay," Shen Wen smiled, and said gently, "Thank you."

The gauze slipped off, and under his closed eyes, the slender eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Why blindfold me and then untie me?" Shen Wen said.

"In order to let you hear more clearly." Xia Zhaoyi said.

Shen Yan smiled lightly, slowly opened his eyes, the pain was still there, while frowning, he saw the young girl sitting behind the guqin.

The girl's right leg was crossed over her left leg, one hand rested lightly on her knee, the other hand rested on her chin, and her elbow rested on the long case with the Guqin.

This sitting posture is not the well-regulated manner of a traditional lady, because her body's center of gravity is not on the long table, so she does not have the enchanting charm of a fireworks girl.The slender long arms and long legs make her appear light in elegance, and also have the unique beauty of girls.

"I heard clearly." Shen Yan smiled.

"Okay," Xia Zhaoyi put down his jaw, looked at Zhan Ning, "send him back."

Shen Yan's smile froze, Kuai Ya couldn't hold back, paused, and continued to laugh: "Why, let me come out and just say these few words?"

"Then, do you say goodbye to your master?"

Shen Yan is absolutely sure, this girl is playing tricks on him!

"He's not my apprentice!" Fan Zhuyi said angrily.

Xia Zhaoyi ignored him, looked at Shen Wen: "If you don't want to say goodbye, then you can go back."

Shen Wen felt that the roots of his big teeth were sore, he gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "Ali."

He considers himself a calm person, but after coming to Hengxiang, he is often fuming with anger from these women.

It's not "these", there are only three in total, and these three are more or less "crazy".

Shen Yan snatched the satin cloth from Zhan Ning's hand, casually tied it on his face, and said coldly, "Send me back!"

Zhan Ning did not respond, waiting for Xia Zhaoyi's order.

"Those thousand-character texts." Xia Zhaoyi said to Zhan Ning.

"En." Zhan Ning took it out of his sleeve, stepped forward and respectfully handed it over.

They were some classmates of the student who fell from the Bade Pavilion and died in Dongping Academy. They were locked in the yamen by Xia Zhaoyi and wrote these thousand-character essays. The academy found a few students who wanted to earn some money to copy, and they copied five copies in total.

"To be honest," Xia Zhaoyi looked at Fan Zhuyi, "I used you before. Shen Wen used Bian Yuanfeng's beads to lure Lin Qingfeng into being captured by those people, and I also used you as bait to keep you in prison. They were also being watched."

Fan Zhuyi paused, and said solemnly: "Those men in black who came to prison?!"

At the beginning, he couldn't tell whether those people came to rescue him or to kill him, but now that he thought about it, he might have killed him.

Xia Zhaoyi glanced at Zhan Ning and motioned for him to send Shen A back.

After they left, she said to Fan Zhuyi: "A few months ago, I sent out bait to tie you and Yue Xiashao, and then asked people to leave some traces of your teacher in Nantang County. If they Biting the thread I let out and checking bit by bit, you will definitely deduce in the end that your surname is Joe."

"You!" Fan Zhuyi was furious.

"Who let your good apprentice go to Qianqiu Hall? They shouldn't doubt the relationship between your master and the Qiao family, after all, His Highness Qianqiu is full of corpses of Qiao's family."

Fan Zhuyi was so angry that he couldn't speak, as if something was about to surge up in his chest, he suspected that he would spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Here," Xia Zhaoyi put the thousand-character text in his hand on the table outside the guqin, "Not long ago, a student named Zhuo Changzong in Dongping Academy fell to his death. Take a look at the article you wrote, and see if you can figure out anything weird from it."

"I don't want to watch it!" Fan Zhuyi said.

"These articles may be related to Mr. Jian You," Xia Zhaoyi said, "If I remember correctly, this person's original name is Guo Guan."

Fan Zhuyi looked at the stack of papers coldly.

Xia Zhaoyi got up from his seat, and said lightly: "Nianhuazhai, you must not be suitable to go back, otherwise you will be killed, so I will send someone to take you to Ning'an Tower later. You are there Stay here for a few days, decide where to go in the future, and send someone to find me."

After speaking, she walked towards the door.

There were not many people left in the courtyard, except for the soldiers of the Xia family army who still stood firm, there were only a dozen or so people left in Qu's mansion.

The tiles on the ground were pried into a mess, and the huge pit in the middle looked extremely weird and scary.

Mrs. Qu stood a little far away, looking anxiously at some of her subordinates who were moving the lid of the golden coffin.

Zhao Gong and his pet dog are still there, hiding farther than Mrs. Qu.

"It's really going to be opened here." Xia Zhaoyi said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Fan Zhuyi turned around, and saw the girl stepping out of the threshold and down the stone steps.

Fan Zhuyi thought for a while, then raised his heels.

Before he left the door, he was stopped by Shi Guoxin outside the door: "Stop."

"Maybe this old man can help," Fan Zhuyi said in a deep voice, "Didn't you hear that I was good at robbing tombs?"

"Stop." Shi Guoxin still said the same.

Seeing Xia Zhaoyi approaching, Mrs. Qu went to greet her: "A Li!"

After approaching, the voice became lower, and he asked concerned: "Are you done with your work in there?"

"Well, I'll send someone to take him away later." Xia Zhaoyi said.

Mrs. Qu breathed out lightly, and then said: "There is something I haven't told you yet."

"What's the matter?" Xia Zhaoyi was curious.

"It's about General Shen," Mrs. Qu sighed. "When I went to ask for a dog, I heard that one of General Shen's subordinates... was brutally murdered."

She stepped forward and spoke softly in the girl's ear.

Xia Zhaoyi's eyebrows turned cold, and he said, "I'm going to Qingyue Pavilion!"
